A single question

[BobRyan]

If you, the pre-trib people, were not saying this every year for whole my life, I would probably be more willing to listen to you.

I see.. Does it matter to you that I am not pre-trib or mid-trib and I do not believe in the "secret rapture"??

What is this "secret rapture"?

yeah that's a good question.


Here is a "rapture" promoting site explaining the details --

What is the concept of a secret rapture? | GotQuestions.org

"The secret rapture is “secret” in that no one will see Jesus coming except believers; this is in contrast to the second coming of Christ"

I believe in the 1 Thess 4 "rapture" at the 2nd coming. but most rapture groups do not count that as "the rapture" for some reason.

Oh, I see...you take the "rapture" which is always accused of being a word not found in the bible.. and as a dig you add "secret" to it.

Well, if it's a "secret" why do so many people know about it? If it's a secret why are so many people trying to deny it is going to happen and arguing about when it's going to happen?

You see.... it's not a "secret" at all ..........is it.

It is stated right there for all to see in the scripture.

Not only that but it is not something only believers can see... Not even the believers know when it will happen... It will just happen... and, according to scripture... ALL will see it.

I think you should take a step back and ask why it makes you so angry and why you have so many facts wrong.

Hopefully China is giving out accurate information.

The part about the virus dying came from a lab guy here in this country, who I trust to give accurate information.

Why has God not taken this virus away? I don't want to die, I don't want my wife to die, I don't want my in-laws to die.

Please God take this away from us, please forgive us our sin.

Psalm 90:12
Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

God is answering this prayer of Moses. He is teaching us that there is an end to our time on His earth. This epidemic does not make us more mortal, it just gives us a heightened sense of it.

Hebrews 9:27
It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment

God knows exactly when each one of us will go. That moment will come according to God's appointment. For all we know, it may happen tomorrow or even tonight. The important thing is that we apply our hearts to wisdom that we may be prepared for when it does happen. Nurturing our relationship with God is the most important thing. Trusting in the finished work of Jesus and dealing with our sin will assure our hearts of Heaven and fill us with a longing to be in His presence.

2 Corinthians 5:6-9
Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord— for we walk by faith, not by sight— we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.

China is engaged in wide use of Chloroquine phosphate to treat the virus - correct?

Exactly, we don´t know when our life will end on this earth "It may happen tomorrow or even tonight" well said.
