Rapture References, Part 2

This Week’s Feature Article by Jack Kelley

In part one of this series we explored some of the clearest hints from the Old Testament that the Lord has always intended to rapture the Church before the End Times judgments begin. This time we’ll continue with a two part survey of the New Testament. Because Paul was the first to reveal the mystery of the Rapture, we won’t expect to find a clear explanation in the Gospels, but since we already know about it, we’ll be able to spot a couple of hints here and there. Shall we continue?

Rapture References

Last Week’s Feature Article by Jack Kelley

Recently I was challenged to make a list of all the passages in the Bible that hint of a pre-trib rapture. As you may know I believe Paul was the first person on Earth to present a clear pre-trib teaching, about 20 years after the cross. Before that time it was unknown because Jesus didn’t teach it to His other disciples during their time together. And since the Olivet Discourse is directed at Israel, there’s no mention of it there either, even though the end times is in view. Israel will not participate in the rapture.

Is Serving In The Military Biblical?

Q. My problem has to do with serving in the military. When I graduate, I plan on joining the marines. The problem lies with my Jehovah’s Witness father. He believes that by me joining the marines, voting, and getting involved in other “worldly” things, I’m serving Satan. He brings out their “reasoning from the scriptures” book to twist God’s word around. He gets angry and yells about how I’m “a servant of the devil”, and threatens to have noting to do with me.

The Serpent In Genesis 3

Q. In Genesis 3:1, the serpent is described as in it’s Edenic form, which is not a writhing reptile.  In Genesis 3:14, God cursed the serpent by telling it: “On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.”  It seems that Genesis 3:14 describes the serpents (snakes) of today’s world.  However, there are serpents in today’s world which have appendages which appear to the remnant  of legs or feet.  Is there any correlation between these serpents of today, which have these appendages, and the serpents of Edenic period, described in Genesis 1:26 as “….every creeping things that creeps on the earth”?

Body Or Bride?

Q. I’m having trouble distinguishing from Scripture if we are the Body of Christ or the bride of Christ. I have a pastor who teaches we are the Body and Israel is the Bride of Christ according to Scripture.  Can you please lead my to Scripture to distinguish between the two?

Are God’s Wrath And The Great Tribulation The Same?

Q. There are some Bible verses that seem to indicate that we (The Church) will be here during the tribulation or at least the first part of it.  It also indicates that we are not appointed to suffer wrath.  I always figured that God’s wrath and the tribulation were the same and the rapture would take place before.  Some of the prophecy web sites I visit just add to my confusion but can make a good point that wrath and the tribulation are different events.  I was wondering if you could shed some light on this for me.
