But will Chaos be brought on by the Rapture itself, as has long been taught by pre-Trib prophecy scholars?

Listen:

“We agree that the rapture of the Church (all born-again believers in Jesus Christ for salvation since the Church Age began at Pentecost) will be anything but a “secret”. The world will instantly go into cataclysmic chaos at the moment that stunning event takes place. The imagination is hard-pressed to fathom the ramifications of what will happen when millions suddenly vanish”.

Pre Trib Rapture.

A Post-Trib rapture would, of course, require some very different catalyst or even a combination of events leading to the Chaos. I have in the past stated that a World economic collapse would lead to the Tribulation.  Jan Markell is now presenting such an economic collapse. 

The truth is that so many things are at play at this very moment, that no part of the Rapture if the Rapture could actually be broken into parts as it is also taught by pre-Trib rapture scholars could cause a fraction of what can be seen coming.  In fact should the rapture occur effecting such chaos; then there would have to be evidence of such an event shown in Scripture.  But that instant Chaos cannot be found on the pages of the Bible.   In fact, after what they call the rapture in Rev. 4:1, following the worship taking place there among the 24 elders, the 4 living creatures, and the Angels, there are seen the seal judgments.  But before we examine the seals. If this scene represents the rapture; we must say that there is a very strange caricature of the bride, “who is to be represented in John here”:

Revelation 5:4  Then I [began] to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. (NASB2020)

Now let me ask: do you know without me telling you, who it is, who will be able to open the scroll? Then why is John weeping after “the rapture”?  

Now that you understand that problem, we see the Horses and  their riders. The white horse rider    is a conqueror, but no death is mentioned until the fourth horseman:

Revelation 6:8  I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and the one who sat on it had the name Death, and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, and famine, and plague, and by the wild animals of the earth. (NASB2020)

Pre-Trib theorists tell us that before all this there would be massive chaos and death coming from driverless cars, Pilotless planes, trains , and ships,  Doctorless operating rooms and hospitals.  All of this resulting in much death. You get the picture, but this chaotic event is not worth one mention in scripture.  Do you know of such a depiction that I may have omitted?

So John knew that Jesus (the Lamb of God) would open or unseal the scroll after his vision, and we, who who pay attention as we read the Bible also know it. 

The Rapture my brethren had not yet taken place in this portion of John’s writings. But can you find it elsewhere?  Definitely.
