“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” 2 Thessalonians 2:3
I’ve been talking a lot about how Pastor Ram Angad lost support for associating with me, but this isn’t just about one missionary. It’s a clash of two different ideologies. Anyone who starts preaching that the rapture will be after the tribulation gets ostracized because there are people out there who have an agenda to keep the truth hidden on this issue.
“Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.” Psalm 119:104
I want to watch the false doctrine of a pre-tribulation rapture fall in my lifetime. Of course there will always be people that preach every false doctrine, but my goal is that it will fall among the people that matter. We need to take the battering ram of Matthew 24, the battering ram of 2 Thessalonians 2, and the battering ram of Mark 13, and defeat this doctrine.
I find that when I explain the post-tribulation rapture to the people in the pew, they have no problem embracing this doctrine. It’s the people in the pulpit who have a hard time facing it. The reason is that the pre-tribulation rapture is the more popular doctrine.
I’ve talked to pastors who agree with me that the rapture will take place after the tribulation, yet they are nervous about officially switching over to the post-trib position. They don’t want to eat crow because they’ve been preaching pre trib all these years. Not only that, but if word gets out that they are no longer pre trib, they’ll be kicked out of the pastors' club. They will no longer get the preaching engagements, and if they are missionaries, they will lose their support. These preachers need to ask themselves whether pleasing men is more important to them than pleasing God.
“For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10
You also have a choice to make. You can go along to get along, or you can take a stand for what you believe. Sticking to the pre-trib rapture is a classic example of just going with tradition and not making the Bible your final authority.

Pastor Anderson most probably you can answer one of my question as I am facing doubt or sticker while reading my Bible "where did Cain got his wife ?"
ReplyDeleteThey are afraid there money will dry up, or they are against God. Some (through deception) want people in the end times to believe Jesus' millinial has started, when in fact it's the Anti-Christ reigning with signs and wonders. We just don't know who is on Satan's side, and who is preaching for prosperity.
ReplyDeleteKushagra Rastogi - to answer your question, Cain had to have married his sister. The Bible says in Genesis 4:16-17 that he dwelt in Nod, east of Eden, then knew his wife - it doesn't say he met his wife in Nod.
ReplyDeleteNow, that might seem a bit Kentucky to us today (just kidding!) but consider:
* Adam and Eve were created directly by God - so their DNA would have been perfect, so the DNA problems with close-breeding didn't exist yet.
(the issue with in-breeding is that the DNA is too similar, so the mom and dad would have many of the same DNA "defects" and this causes physical defects in the child. The result of being "a copy of a copy of a copy of...")
* There was no law from God regarding this until the days of Moses.
* How else would this have been done, since Adam and Eve were the first two humans ever?
* Who was going to complain about it, and who would they report it to... :-)
Hope that helps!
Yeah it confirmed me ,I already researched alot and it's totally right but some of few false statements are also out there which tells that Cain's wife was a giant and blah blah kind of things .
