     | 7,749 views

    Ministers often complicate the doctrine of the rapture for people by stating that many signs must be seen and many prophecies must be fulfilled before the second coming of Christ, and then, at the same time, they make statements that He might come tonight or at any moment.

Dake I Thes 4:13-17, I Cor 15:23, Phil 3:20-21, John 14:1-3, Luke 21:34-36, Col. 3:4 Called "the coming of the Lord” but never the second ...read more
