Reasons Ezek 38-39 comes before Tribulation

[daygo]

That's kind of the main reason I've hoped deep down in my heart that it would happen before the Rapture. It would sure be an awesome sign for those of us watching and waiting!

Agree.

Agree.

I am in complete agreement with you guys! I would LOVE to see it unfold, and to point out how right the Bible is to all my unsaved family. It would be such an opportunity to evangelize.

And there are good theologians who believe it does occur prior to the rapture.

Maybe I'm wrong, I'd love to be wrong. It would be AMAZING to see this unfold.

There is no doubt that this would be an amazing sight to see and I hope we get a chance to witness this! Keep in mind that we are told in the Scripture that although we do not know the hour or the day we will know the season. It's kind of like the Fall season, when the leaves start changing color we know that Winter is not too far away. Perhaps the Gog-Magog invasion will be like the trees changing color and when it occurs the Rapture is right around the corner. However, it could also mean that the Tribulation is close as the Church is out of here by that time. Time will tell like it always does.

LOVE this thread!
And like someone else said, I cannot contribute, but I am enjoying reading and learning.

Athenasius does make a strong case for the Post Rapture, Pre-Trib scenario.

I'd reckon there's a strong possibility based on God's longsuffering and patience, that we could be here for E38, possibly taken out right as the fur starts to fly, if that is the point where He turns His attention back to Israel. The aftermath would be ripe for a covenant to be signed.

*not that His attention is ever OFF Israel, but I'd see Him keeping the Church Age open to the last minute.

Good point.
