The crux of the matter is, especially when it comes to prophetic passages in Scripture, how do we interpret the things that are
to come. What Hermeneutics (interpretation) do we use. I believe we must interpret the text literally or naturally, unless the context indicates otherwise.
Unfortunately, much of Scripture, especially the Old Testament, is interpreted by replacement theologians who use what is known as the
allegorical method. It assumes there is a deeper, more spiritual or mystical, understanding of Scripture beyond the mere literal understanding and that this hidden understanding is found only by those who are able to search out its secrets. This mindset is prevalent when it comes to prophecy. With the
allegorical method, prophecy is not to be taken literally but, rather, figuratively and symbolically. IMO this can lead to several major errors.
When a literal hermeneutics is used consistently, there results a consistent understanding of Scripture as a whole. One result is the understanding of a Pre-tribulation rapture.
Do not be dismayed by attacks by brothers and sisters in Christ. Future events are in the most capable hands of Lord God and we should praise His name and watch His glorious Hand move as He positions things for His glory.
The spirit within me testifies to what He has taught me in Scripture. For it is God business to enlighten and teach us. Rely upon the Spirit of God living in you to give you peace beyond understanding. Believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God.
