I use to be pre trib ( by default not knowing anything else as a babe) but then God changed my mind and now I am post trib, during the " day of the Lord" which is Gods wrath that we are not appointed to. I could write a book of scriptures as to why but I wont go that far LOL
Instead I will say HOW God showed me the truth of this and anyone who wants to study it out on their own is blessed for doing so, then I will give a couple of " types" for fun
They way God showed me the timing was by showing me all through the bible the SIGNS that come just before the " DAY OF THE LORD", then God showed me how Jesus and paul and peter said that the " DAY OF THE LORD" is the day we wait for to be with the Lord. SO then I knew that the timing of the day of the Lord was the timing of the rapture/ressurection and so He took me through matt 24 and revelation and showed me where the SIGNS of the DAY OF THE LORD happen and it gives you the perfect timing of the rapture which is shown to be 1- immediatly after the tribulation period 2- at the 6th seal and 3- at the 7th trumpet. Both of these places in revelation declare that they are the beginning of WRATH and show the signs of the DAY OF THE LORD and both show that that is also when we are taken to be with him and recieve our reward! So if anyone wants to study that out God bless you in it!
Now for a couple of " types" for fun
and edification.
In GEN. 7 ( perfectly for it is in the 7th day God finished creation and rested, and it is after 6,000 yrs and into the 7th that God will bring the end and bring the eternal rest) We see noah ready to get in the ark he built.
Gen 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. ( Noah was in the ark for 7 days before it began to rain! just as we will be on earth hid in Jesus our ark during the 7 yr tribulation before the wrath of fire this time will come down after tribulation)
Gen 7:10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
After these 7 days ( our 7 years) the wrath began as rain etc.. and it took 40 days of rain to lift the ark off of the earth, just as after the 7 years of trib, after 40to45 days of wrath we will lift off the earth in the rapture( will show that in a sec)
Gen 7:17 ¶ And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
we see daniel said that the second half of trib is 1,290 days( trib ends) blessed he who comes to the 1,335 days ( 45 days after trib just like noah) to be caught up
Dan 12:11 And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Dan 12:12 Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. Dan 12:13 But go thou thy way till the end [be]: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
( of course for those 45 days of wrath we will not be touched by it just as noah was safe on earth in the ark for the 40 days of rain and water)
*btw this type of noah is much larger but is alot to put here*
here is another type
Jos 6:2 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the mighty men of valour. Jos 6:3 And ye shall compass the city, all [ye] men of war, [and] go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. (like 6,000 years) Jos 6:4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. (at the 7,000 yr you compass the city 7 times as in 7 years)
Jos 6:15 ¶ And it came to pass on the seventh day(7000yr), that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times(7 yrs of trib): only on that day they compassed the city seven times. Jos 6:16 And it came to pass at the seventh time(7th trump at end of 7 yrs), when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
So with the sound of the 7th trump and with a shout!
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
(at this last trump in joshua, the city was given to them and this land became Gods, and Gods peoples)
Rev 11:15 ¶ 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. Rev 11:16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Rev 11:17 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. Rev 11:18 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.
AMEN!!
Ok here is one more type of the MANY to be seen
Jesus was the manchild of His day and His ministry lasted 3 1/2 years during which time He raised up his aposltes and disciples and there was no martyrdom. He sent them out two by two and told them they would be His witnessess. After His 3 1/2 years of ministry( type of the first half of tribulation where the woman and manchild are in the wilderness protected from the dragon) After this His disciples went out two by two into the earth and gave the word of God and began to be martyered which is a type of the second 3 1/2 years of trib when the two witnessess go out into the world and are killed!
Mar 6:7 And he called [unto him] the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth
Act 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and [so is] also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Rev 11:3 And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
(these two witnesses can also be seen in type with Jesus/manchild of His day and in rev in noahs day)
Gen 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his female.
clean beasts by 7's( Jesus was CLEAN in His day of course as will be the end time manchild of rev 12 at the going into the tribulation)
but at the going into jesus day the disciples and aposltes were not YET clean because they had to wait till Jesus ministry of 3 1/2 years was over for Himto die to purify them to be clean but they were still in the ark jesus before this following him. same is the two witnesses of rev 11
Gen 7:9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
*note that going INTO the ark at the beginning of noahs 7 days there were clean(by 7's like jesus) and unclean by twos( like the disciples and witnesses of rev 11) all in one ark(jesus) until after the flood BUT when noah got out of the ark He was told that He could now eat of the beasts of the earth and was NOT given any restriction from the " clean to unclean" as a type because after this time ALL in the ark were fully clean and delivered up to God!
Gen 9:1 ¶ And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Gen 9:2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth [upon] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Gen 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
AMEN!!!!!!!
man i am so excited looking into all this again i want to give more types LOL but i wont yet God bless you all!!!! may this be great meat to chew on and may God bless any who decides to go study the first part of this that God used to change my mind!
