6. The Great Tribulation, while affecting the whole earth, especially concerns Israel. Jeremiah 30:7 - "The times of Jacob's trouble".
Matt. 24:22 - "Days shorten, elect."
Israel tribes - vs.30 - "tribes mourn."
7. The promise to the church concerning her gathering to the Lord is timeless and signless.
8. Enoch, that pre-eminent O.T. saint, who escaped by translation the judgment of the flood, has always been considered a type of the true church raptured before the storm of judgment of the Great Tribulation breaks. Hebrews 11:5
9. The 70th week is described both in the Old and New Testaments described as:
a. judgment
b. indignation
c. punishment
d. hour of trial
e. hour of trouble
f. destruction
g. darkness
The antithesis of I Thess. 5:9 is conclusive evidence that the church will not go through the tribulation: "For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ."
10. The doctrine of imminence concerning the rapture of the church. The scriptures warn the believer to be watching for the Lord Himself, not for signs that would precede his coming.
11. Rev. 1-3 present the development of the church in this present age. Chapters 4-11 cover the events of the entire 70th week period and conclude with the return of Christ to the earth to reign in 11:15-18. Thus the seals are the events of the first 3 1/2 years and the trumpets the last 3 1/2 years. Chapters 12-19 a second survey of God's timing.
12. Tribulation period begins with the confirmation of the false covenant. Dan. 9:27
13. If the church is here for the first 3 1/2 years then the 144,000 are seen as saved in the church but the scriptures say they are Jewish witnesses.
14. The Last Trumpet - The trumpets of Rev. 11 are followed by judgment and Christ ascending. In I Thess. 4 the "trump of God," for the church is singular. In Rev. 11 there are several. I Thess. 4 the trumpet brings blessing, life and glory and in Rev. 11 it brings judgment. In I Thess. 4 it is a "moment," "a twinkling of an eye." In Rev. 10:7 it extends over a period of time.
Ok that is it for the 14 Reasons. Stay tuned for more posts.
