Scoffers have reached pandemic proportions, appearing out of nowhere to blast the bible and especially pre-tribulation beliefs. Again, I am somewhat dumbfounded by the focused hatred and enormous amount of venom aimed at pre-trib believers.

The sudden sheer multitude of anti-rapture forum posters is staggering. What has them all in such an uproar? What’s it to them if we’re anxiously looking for Christ’s return, very possibly within the next 7 days?

Why should the anti-rapture crowd care what we believe? It can’t be concern for our souls. Rapture beliefs are not a pre-requisite for salvation. Believers should all be hoping to make heaven at some point in time.

So if these anti-rapture trolls aren’t concerned for souls, what’s it all about? Why are they so in-your-face rude, condescending, derogatory and downright hateful? Could it be that they aren’t playing on the same team?

Could it be that the atrociously verbal posters are plants? Could it be that they’re actually serving satan and are terribly concerned with how many souls they stand to lose when Christ returns?

Could it be that they, like so many of us, sense huge spiritual changes coming to our world in the very near future?

I guess we should really rejoice when scoffers surface. The sheer presence of so many scoffers posting constantly online is just one of many signals that the church age is about to end. Their constant harassment is just another in a long line of signs that we’ll soon be out of here.

Arguing with scoffers is a waste of breath. Use that breath, instead, to praise God for our soon redemption and to thank Him for all that he is and has done.

Scoffers who do not believe in the pre-tribulation rapture of believers are actually taking the time to register and post their beliefs in the middle of forums dedicated to pre-trib beliefs. They are posting the same rants and raves over and over, eating up bandwidth and showing both their ignorance and their lack of respect for anyone else on the planet.

None of the forums (or blogs) are immune. I can’t help but find it amusing that those who have the most to say against the pre-trib rapture ask that you purchase their book (or DVD, or CD, or newsletter) to get all the facts.

I haven’t seen this much name calling since I worked in a kindergarten. One poster takes great time and space to rant and rave against each and every pre-trib pastor or minister he can think of. He lists all their sins according to Google.

Although this particular poster goes into great detail about why no one is worthy to be speaking of a pre-trib rapture, he gives NO biblical argument at all. Not a single scripture.

All he manages to truly convey is his own ability to rant, rave and point fingers.

I must confess that I do not understand all this venom carried by those who don’t believe in the pre-trib rapture. They curse us, rant and rave at us, berate us and then start over. There’s no OFF button. I’ve watched moderators lock threads, erase threads and ultimately block posters altogether, simply because they couldn’t speak nicely.

Over the Timing of the Return of Christ? How many souls are won with an overbearing attitude and a loud, hateful tone?

The only difference between a christian who believes in the pre-tribulation and a christian who does not is this:

The pre-tribulation believer is ready, at any moment, to look on the face of his or her Savior.

That’s it.

Both sets of believers serve the same Christ and are seeking entrance to the same heaven.

Pre-tribulation believers are ready for the end to happen instantly, at any moment.

If you die before you take another breath, are you ready to face God?

If Christ should return in the next moment for believers, are you ready?
