Big Sign, Wrong Conclusion

I definitely believe the rebirth of Israel is a big sign, however, once again your pre-trib analogy is full of holes. Your article is just one of the several big problems concerning the false pre-trib rapture doctrine theory.

Q. I definitely believe the rebirth of Israel is a big sign, however, once again your pre-trib analogy with the following statements from your article is full of holes: You said in your article:

Quote:
The second clue is that the people he’s telling to flee are in Judea, the name by which the Biblical land of Israel was known during the time of the Lord’s visitation. (Matt. 24:16)

And the third clue is to pray it won’t happen on a Sabbath. Matt. 24:20) Only observant Jews would be worried about this because they can only walk 1000 paces on the Sabbath, not nearly far enough to even get out of town, let alone into the mountains.

The aforementioned in your article is just one of the several big problems concerning the false pre-trib rapture doctrine theory:

1. Orthodox Jews do not read the New Testament Scriptures, so they would have no way of knowing what Jesus said, so Jesus is definitely NOT speaking to unsaved or Orthodox Jews.

2. Jesus is definitely speaking and warning Jewish believers of the above statements who are in Judea at the time the abomination of desolation occurs because they will be reading the scriptures and watching for the signs that he gave them (and us), which means there is no secret pre-tribulation rapture, or else they would have been gone.

A. Your conclusion can be valid only if there is either no rapture before the Great Tribulation or there is a rapture beforehand and absolutely no one on Earth gets saved between it and the Abomination of Desolation.

My position is that there is a pre-trib rapture. It occurs before the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week, and in the 3 1/2 or more years between then and the start of the Great Tribulation a great many are saved, probably because of the enormous sign that the rapture will have been to them. They’re the ones who heed the Lord’s warning

As for the Sabbath warning, only Old Covenant keeping Jews have a Sabbath travel restriction, so he has to be warning them too, whether they pay attention or not, and whether there are believers on Earth or not.
