Why Do People Believe In A Pre Tribulation Rapture?

Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the apostasy comes first [unless the predicted great falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come], and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition), 1 Thessalonians 2:3

In Revelation 3 Jesus tells us that our Father wants us hot or cold, He does not want people to be lukewarm. There is a Truth and it is this, our Father always get’s His way. So during the last 3 1/2 years of this earth age, our Father will cast away the lukewarm christians and clearly identify them. These lukewarm people will flood to the anti-christ’s church and the reason will be that they believe in a pre-tribulation rapture.

Think about why people really believe that there is a pre-tribulation rapture, and the reason they do is fear. There is an overwhelming belief in them of self preservation, ego, and pride. In Christ we have not been given a spirit of fear, but of love and a sound mind, 2 Timothy 1:7. In Christ, the Holy Spirit empowers us to desire the well being of others far above ourselves, Matthew 23:11. People who believe in a pre-tribulation rapture basically are saying that when the world needs us the most, forget you people, we are out of here because things will be too tough. This is never how our Father has empowered His children to act. When the Apostles were imprisoned, beaten, and even killed, they ran right back to the Temple where they were arrested to preach the Truth that would set the people free, Acts 5. The Prophets of old went to the towns and cities and were beaten and killed for sharing the Truth. Jesus did not run because things were tough. Our Father is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He never changes and God will not change during the Great Tribulation. He will use us wonderfully and a great multitude of brothers and sisters will be saved during this time, Revelation 7:9.

So our Father has allowed a lie to be believed by the lukewarm and it is a belief in a pre-tribulation rapture. The lukewarm will believe that a rapture is going to occur, even when the Great Tribulation is happening all around them. They will see the anti-christ performing miracles and they will hear his great speech and they will flood to him thinking that he cannot be in power until they are gone. They will fall away thinking that a pre-tribulation rapture is still going to occur. They will be deceived and they will side with the anti-christ, our Father will have spewed them out of His mouth as Jesus said that He would and this is the great falling away.

I use to believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. A lot of saved people still do. But watch for all of that to change. I have seen our Father revealing more and more Truth over the years. There is no condemnation for those of us who are in Christ and if you did believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, don't fret it. Just share the scriptures that clearly say that there isn't to those who do believe in one and watch the Word of our Father not fall void to the earth. It will set the truly saved free and encourage them and it will make the lukewarm mad, as Truth always does.
