Yet the LORD never promised a pre-trib rapture in Rev 3:10 or in His Gospel or in any place in Revelation.It is isn't it? Tells it like it is. I love how Revelation 3:10, promises us will be kept from the coming "hour of trial".
The Church Is Not Mentioned in Revelation 6–18 as Being on Earth. We will be out of here.For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Without employing harpazo , but by using similar contextual language, 1Cor 15:51-52 refers to the same eschatological event as 1 Thess 4:16-17. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
Thus, it can be assuredly concluded that Scripture points to the fact of pre-trib rapture.
Matches up perfectly with all The Related Scriptures, Rightly Divided, eh?:For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

Adding to God's words what He never said is sin and is the working of the spirit of antichrist in the churches and modern day 'christianity'For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Very interesting.Yet the LORD never promised a pre-trib rapture in Rev 3:10 or in His Gospel or in any place in Revelation.
When you add to God's words what HE never said , you prove yourself to be unfaithful in the Truth.
Turn back to the words of CHRIST who Says:
John 16:33 - "In the world you will have tribulation" But take heart, I have overcome the world"
Matthew 10:28 - Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 24: 29-31
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His [d]elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
CHRIST never promised a pre-trib rapture to anyone.
GOOD NEWS = Christ promises to "KEEP" those who are HIM from the evil one = Revelation chapter 12
"And they overcame the Devil by the Blood of Christ and the word of their Testimony and they loved not their lives unto death"
The GREATEST KEEPING that GOD has promised is to those who remain faithful in the face of persecution, especially unto the suffering of death.
Jesus never mentioned or talked about the rapture, only the timing of His 2nd Coming.Very interesting.
The battle for the heart begins deep within the soul. Our inner emptiness cries out for something more, and the world rushes in to fill it. For some, it is an addiction. For others, it is a relationship. But whatever it is, it begins to draw us away from God. At first we try to resist it. But eventually we embrace it and lose all sense of spiritual restraint. Some embrace a new experience, a new idea, or even a new religion. Our guilty consciences tries to protest, but we soon make a mental or emotional paradigm shift and start defending a lifestyle we once rejected.The threat of Christians being "left- behind" is another BLANTANT LIE from the false prophets such as Tim LaHaye and others.
REPENT from trusting in men who speak falsehood whereby you reject the words of Christ and the Apostles and the OT Prophets
Hebrews 13:5-6
Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have.
For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
So we may boldly say:
“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?”
@Amos
The threat for being "left-behind" only applies to those who reject the Holy Spirit = Matthew 25:1-13
SHALOM in Christ to you @SamsonVery interesting.
A "behinder" is one who kisses the behind of religion!!! = "Don't be a behinder"The battle for the heart begins deep within the soul.

And worst of all...some get left behind. I can them behinders. Don't be a behinder.
Got it.Jesus never mentioned or talked about the rapture, only the timing of His 2nd Coming.
Paul addressed the rapture.![]()
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.Got it.
Paul’s teaching on a pre-tribulation rapture in 2 Thessalonians 2 is probably the clearest of all on the subject. Yet, it is often missed because of a misinterpretation of one particular word. Look carefully at what Paul said in verses 1–8:
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
Key Bible verses cited in support of a pre-tribulation rapture include 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, which describes believers being "caught up" to meet the Lord; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, referring to a sudden, transformative change at the "last trumpet"; and Revelation 3:10, which promises to "keep you from the hour of trial" that will test the world. Other supporting verses often mentioned are 1 Thessalonians 1:10 and 1 Thessalonians 5:9, which speak of believers being saved from the coming wrath, and Matthew 24:40-41 and Luke 17:34-35, which discuss people being "taken".Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.

Please highlight the SPECIFIC verse which declares a "pre-trib rapture"
Amen! And, instead of "looking, watching, and waiting for the son of perdition and signs", we find This:Pretribulationism tell us to be ready and waiting. The rapture could happen at any moment.
… but Satan comes at the 6th trump, BEFORE Jesus returns at the 7th trump.For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.

The sooner the better.Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit. Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks. LUKE 12:35
Pretribulationism tell us to be ready and waiting. The rapture could happen at any moment.
Imminence is a crucial teaching of Jesus and the apostles related to end-time prophecy. The English word imminence means an event that can occur at any time. An imminent danger is a threat that is close at hand and can happen at any moment. There can be no detectable signs that such a danger is about to take place.
When interpreting prophecy, however, some scholars use the word “imminent” less precisely to mean an event that may occur soon, but may also be preceded by specific signs or warnings. Contrary to this, we pretribulationists understand the Bible to teach that some prophetic events, such as the rapture and the day of the Lord, will occur at a future time without any preceding signs or events.
That being the case pretribulationism is the correct New Testament teaching, it must be demonstrated biblically that the rapture will occur without warning and without signs that necessarily indicate its nearness.
Stay dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit, don't get left behind.
