Hello CHB!
my comment is that I don't hold with the post trib rapture anymore.
My reasons:
I believe the Last trump is an idiom for the last shofar blast of Yom Teruah not the 7th trumpet of Revelation.
I believe that if Jesus raptures all believers after the Trib, there will not be any unglorified humans to populate the Millenial Earth, therefore there must be some survivors of the Trib and that this is when the wheat and tares are separated.
I believe that the Saints that appear with Jesus at his return on white horses are pre trib raptured believers that have been at the marriage supper, not leftover survivors,
The saints appear with Jesus before he sends his angels down with the sickles to harvest.
I believe the Time of Jacobs trouble is God personally dealing with Israel for their unbelief and the rest of the tribulation mess is just fallout from that, that the rest of the world has to deal with and that the Bride or Church, because we believe already' by faith in that which is unseen, won't be punished.
Paul tells us to "pray without ceasing that we will be found worthy to
escape all these things about to come up on the earth" and I believe that
escape means
escape. Not protection through the trib as some believe.
I believe that if Jesus marks you as worthy, you'll go whenever he calls you regardless of your stance.
That's all I can think of atm. I'm sure I have lots more reasons, just gotta think harder!!!!
