Making the case for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture by Helga Hickman

.
I wish to begin with something many believe to be part of the Rapture, but is not:

³⁷ But as the days of Noah were, 
    so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
³⁸ For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating 
    and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, 
    until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
³⁹ And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; 
   so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
⁴⁰ Then shall two be in the field;  
    the one shall be taken, and the other left.
⁴¹ Two women shall be grinding at the mill; 
    the one shall be taken, and the other left.
⁴² Watch therefore: 
    for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Matthew 24:37-42

In the days of Noah, the ones SAVED were the ones who were left,
only 8, and these of the family of Noah, were spared!

The rest were taken away to face judgment upon the return of Christ!
Just as those from Noah's day will!



29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days 
shall the sun be darkened, 
and the moon shall not give her light, 
and the stars shall fall from heaven, 
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: 
and then shall ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH MOURN, 
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven 
with power and great glory. 
[NOT UNEXPECTED, WITH PLENTY OF OCCURRENCES 
TO GIVE PLENTY OF WARNING 
OF EXACTLY WHEN THE LORD WILL COME!]

31 And he shall send his angels 
with a GREAT SOUND OF A TRUMPET, 
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, 
from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew 24:29-31


It couldn't be more obvious these occurrences have to do with JEWS (tribes!!), and DO NOT TAKE PLACE at the "CATCHING UP" OF THE CHURCH, when it is we MEET HIM IN THE CLOUDS!

Christians belong to no tribes, 

NEITHER DO WE MOURN at His coming!!

IT IS A MOMENT OF GLEE, TO LAST FOR EVER!!

WE ARE GATHERED UNTO CHRIST; no angels getting us!

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; 
We shall not all sleep, 
but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: 
for the trumpet shall sound, 
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, 
and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, 
and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Corinthians 15:51-53


13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, 
concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, 
even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, 
even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, 
that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord 
shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, 
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: 
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another 
with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18;

His coming is nothing we need fear, 

for we are ready and not asleep!

¹ But of the times and the seasons, brethren, 
ye have no need that I write unto you.
² For yourselves know perfectly that 
the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
³ For when they shall say, Peace and safety; 
then sudden destruction cometh upon them, 
as travail upon a woman with child;
and they shall not escape.
[validates the above verse in Matthew 24,
about the ones left behind, then, 
are the ones who escape judgment]
⁴ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, 
that that day should overtake you as a thief.
⁵ Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: 
we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; 
but let us watch and be sober.
⁷ For they that sleep sleep in the night; 
and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
⁸ But let us, who are of the day, be sober, 
putting on the breastplate of faith and love; 
and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
⁹ For God hath not appointed us to wrath, 
but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
¹⁰ Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, 
we should live together with him.
¹¹ Wherefore comfort yourselves together, 
and edify one another, even as also ye do.
 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, 
by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, 
neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, 
as that the day of Christ is at hand.

3 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 2:1-3

WE AWAIT A JOYOUS TIME, THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST!

Looking for that BLESSED HOPE, 

and the glorious appearing of the great God

and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Titus 1:13

Henceforth there is laid up for me a  
crown of righteousness, 

which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: 

and not to me only, but unto all them also that 
love his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:8

Thus, those who believe 

NOT in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture, 

cannot "love" his appearing 

with all the wrath unleashed, now, can they?
Therefore, theirs will not be,
a crown of righteousness!

9 For God hath NOT appointed us to wrath

[THE WRATH UNLEASHED IN THE DAY OF THE LORD],

but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
¹⁰ Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, 
we should live together with him.
¹¹ Wherefore comfort yourselves together, 
and edify one another, even as also ye do.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-10

AMEN!
