Post tribbers are teaching that the Church MUST go through the Great Tribulation.
This time of trouble is told to us as.....
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Even more devastating the the flood of Noah(loss of life and human suffering).
The post tribber has presented us with a kind of a Rambo mentality, that only the mentally strong need to "tough it out", when they themselves will go limp as wet noodles when this occurs...
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Somehow, they think the church will be living under little individual force fields, supplied by God with food and water, housing etc., while their neighborhoods are leveled by Almighty God and the devastation made by God lasts for years.
This has evolved into a "prepper" mentality, and God will be the leader of the prepper saints.
Fact is, if the church faces the Great Tribulation, they face this...
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him
over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
This is wholesale slaughter of the saints during the tribulation, which makes Auschwitz or Treblinka seem like a resort.
Another passage for the Rambo-ists that are telling the Spirit filled saints that God will lead them and their families into this devastation...
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write,
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
Yes, these post trib teachers teach a doctrine of death to the saints, in which antichrist slaughters us.
This doctrine is a doctrine of death and despair for a few die-hard saints to live with, and was told by our savior to pray contrary to these post-tribbers...
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy
to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
You see, we can actually escape all of these events by praying to be found worthy, which our escape is.....
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
The message of comfort to the Spirit filled saints of God is not meeting the antichrist, but meeting our Lord Jesus Christ.
