Great post Heaven,
"In China, the Christians were told, "Don't worry, before the tribulation comes you will be translated - raptured." Then came a terrible persecution. Millions of Christians were tortured to death. Later I heard a Bishop from China say, sadly, "We have failed. We should have made the people strong for persecution rather than telling them Jesus would come first. Tell the people how to be strong in times of persecution, how to stand when the tribulation comes - to stand and not faint."
I remember reading part of that quote in a book once. It was during a study of the rapture and it's timing.
I do not believe the scriptures teach a pre-tribulational rapture of believers.
The "Left Behind" books might be very popular, but I do not think they represent the truth concerning the end days.
