REVELATION 4 & 5 COME BEFORE REVELATION 6-22
REVELATION 4 & 5 COME BEFORE REVELATION 6-22
The Seals, Trumpets and Vials of Revelation 6-19 that lead up to the coming of Christ to this earth to defeat Antichrist follow AFTER the events of Rev.4 and 5. Many point out that the Apostle John is “caught up” in Rev.4:1:
Re 4:1 ΒΆ After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be
hereafter.

BUT HOW GOOD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO GO IN THE PRE-TRIB PARTIAL RAPTURE? (PT.2: LEGALISM)
BUT HOW GOOD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO GO IN THE PRE-TRIB PARTIAL RAPTURE? (PT.2: LEGALISM)
“But How Good Do You Have To Be To Go In The Pre-Trib Partial Rapture?” (Pt. 2: Legalism)
“The partial rapture theory conditions the privilege of rapture upon human works, and as such is a co-mingling of legalism with grace… Grace, not fear of the Tribulation, is the motive and the power for right conduct… But if translation depends upon spiritual maturity, on readiness, or upon “watching,” it then becomes necessary to ask: Just how ready must the believer be? What degree of spiritual maturity will God require? What degree of perfection must the believer attain before he is assured a place in the rapture?”

THE GREAT ESCAPE: FROM THE PRE-TRIB PARTIAL RAPTURE
THE GREAT ESCAPE: FROM THE PRE-TRIB PARTIAL RAPTURE
The Great Escape: From The Pre-Trib Partial Rapture
There seems to be a type of denial going on today concerning the Rapture. The Rapture is what the Bible calls “translation”. (Heb.11:5) It is when many Christians disappear to be with Christ in order to escape terrible tribulation. Notice I said “many” Christians. It is right here that the denial comes in. Many of today’s popular dispensational preachers rightly believe in a pre-trib rapture. However, most teach that all Christians go in it, contrary to the Scriptures.

G.H. PEMBER AND THE FIRSTFRUITS, PRE-TRIB RAPTURE (PT.1)
G.H. PEMBER AND THE FIRSTFRUITS, PRE-TRIB RAPTURE (PT.1)
The firstfruits rapture doctrine is a vital teaching in the Christian life. Although the next world is the time for absolute judgment, there are temporal, earthly warnings here as well. Every believer is commanded by Christ to:
Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Although this includes all of life, there is a serious time of “temptation” that the believer should watch and pray to be delivered from:

GEORGE N.H. PETERS AND THE PRE-TRIB, FIRST-FRUITS TRANSLATION OF READY CHRISTIANS
GEORGE N.H. PETERS AND THE PRE-TRIB, FIRST-FRUITS TRANSLATION OF READY CHRISTIANS
In past issues of the Kingdom Alert Bulletin we have manifested the true beliefs of such wise, godly men as G.H. Pember. Prophecy writers like G.H. Pember and G.N.H. Peters (both taught a pre-trib, selective rapture) are often praised and exalted by modern “scholars” as mighty war-horses of pre-trib, premillennialism. Yet, many of these same scholars when attempting to refute a pre-trib, partial rapture of Christians (in spite of Rev.3:10 and Luke 21:36, etc.) are often found arguing something like: “The partial rapture view is unorthodox and has only been held by a few obscure teachers…”. Perhaps such an argument persuades many paperback Christians (who can’t wait for another Batman movie) to believe they are in no danger of experiencing the coming Tribulation. (It is still that old “Roman” technique: Give the sweet, nice promises in the N.T. to believers, but give the warnings to the cursed “Jew”…. Haven’t they noticed that everyone has crowns in Rev. 4 & 5? Where are those that missed out? Rev.3:11. Hint: They are not raptured or resurrected yet! Rev.11:18. They are in the Trib. Rev.2:22) … Only a few, obscure, feeble-minded souls ever taught a partial rapture? For those who have bothered to read the volumes put out by Pember, Peters and other great “pillars” of premillennial Bible prophecy, such an emotional argument against the first-fruit rapture doctrine appears to be downright dishonest.
