The Lord roars from Zion and utters His voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth tremble. But the Lord is a refuge for His people and a stronghold to the sons of Israel…(Joel 3:16)

Are these two separate events? If you listen to false prophets like Harold Camping or some such fun-for-a-day media hype, these ARE two events.

Does Jesus come first to take us up, say, to a safe “hiding  place”…and then jump on the most beautiful White Horse in the universe!  After He gets on the Horse, “Stage 2 begins”…the Angels blow a trumpet, the sky splits open and all Heaven breaks loose on the sick and dying world!

Sounds good, huh!! One problem with this pre-tribilutation talk is – IT IS NOT TRUE! It is also NOT biblical. I hate to take down so many American Christians’ sacred cows but the belief in the so-called Pre-Tribulation “Rapture” is solely an American Christian marketing scheme which has become “molded” into church “doctrine” over the last 100 years!

We have also seen the LEFT BEHIND movie series with actor Kirk Cameron. These movies were based on a series of books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins (who actually did most of the work on these books). These books old over 60 million copies in all, most of them to American evangelicals who have bought this easy-believism false doctrine, hook line and sinker!

Our churches now have bought into the theory that we don’t have to be ready for persecution, tribulation and trials….all we have to is believe some preacher/author or actor that “just before the anti-christ shows up, somehow Jesus will begin “Stage 1” of His Glorious Appearing and “rapture” us!
