Last but not least, Revelation!

Rev11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Here is the seventh trump, the LAST trump as we have seen repeatedly in these previous verses.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. 
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Here we see the time of the dead, the judgement, time to reward the saints and prophets, the great earthquake and the great hail.  These are events marked later in Revelation as the end of the tribulation and the harvest of the souls on earth, it is also immediately following the raising of the dead the two witnesses that were viewed laying in the street for 3 days.

I know this is not something anyone wants to hear, it is much easier to listen to the seductive interpretation of the pretrib rapture, but here we have read over and over a very detailed picture of Christ coming back to take His people at the end of the tribulation.  No where in the Bible have I found a clearly indicated word of being saved before the tribulation without interpreting words to mean something that are not so clearly stated I have also in my topics list the parable of the tares which also indicates that the two should grow together until the time of the harvest.  This is for good reason, if you remove the tares before the harvest you may uproot the crop.  In the case of men, if millions of people suddenly disappeared there would be a lot of people who would not otherwise have turned to Christ who would simply because of the rapture.  The purpose for our time on earth is to purify our souls and to do a work in us to make us into the likeness of Jesus, and it is to be done on faith and faith alone.  Jesus told Thomas you believe because you have seen, how much greater for those who haven't seen, yet believed.  God isn't looking for the souls who would turn to Him knowing His power above the earth, He wants those who turn to Him because they believe in Him, regardless the circumstances.  I know if I were left behind and millions disappeared, I would certainly turn my face toward Him.

This study has been very unpopular, and has cost me traffic, but that is OK with me, the important thing to me is that people will be affected by this, and will pick up their Bibles, and see for themselves, and in seeing will begin to turn away from their sins and seek Jesus in earnest so that their souls may be ready for the times to come, and so they again may find themselves full of the Holy Spirit. - Dan Dunkin
