The Anger Of Post-Tribulationists
Jesus wasn't killed by demon possessed people, nor was he killed by atheists or agnostics or people who loved to sin. He wasn't killed by drinkers or smokers or drug dealers or people with tattoos or body piercings. Jesus was killed by the respected religious leaders who thought they knew everything. And the same spirit that was behind their actions are alive and well today!!!
The Scriptures taught them that their Messiah would come down from out of the sky with great power and wonder to overthrow the devil, overthrow the curse and overthrow the dictatorships of the world with great wrath and vengeance.
But the Scriptures also taught them that their Messiah would FIRST be born of a virgin in Bethlehem, ride into town on a donkey, be rejected by His own people and then be killed while taking upon the sins of the world.
The religious leaders latched onto those FINAL prophesies about His coming after the Tribulation while ignoring the FIRST prophecies of what their Messiah would do before then. And they were very angry with people who paid any attention to those FIRST prophecies. So they raged and lied about where those beliefs came from and as soon as they could, they arrested Jesus and had Him killed.
But by ignoring those FIRST prophecies, they actually fulfilled them. And Jesus pitied them and said, "Father, forgive them for they know NOT what they do." They were the world's first "Post-Tribulation" religious leaders.
Today's "Post-Tribulation" religious leaders are making the same mistakes all over again and with them comes the same rage and anger of those who killed Jesus. It's the same spirit of pride and arrogance. It's the same spirit of rage. It's the same spirit of ignorance and Biblical illiteracy simply because "THEY KNOW" so they think.
Just like the Pharisees did, today's religious leaders have all the doctorates in theology, they have all the PHD's, they have all the titles and labels of authority granted to them by all the various religious organizations and churches. They have all the radio and TV shows on religious broadcasting. They have most of the christian YouTube channels and Facebook Pages. They have their angry and enraged minions all over blogs and comment threads. They have everything EXCEPT the Bible to back them up.
Just like the Pharisees did, today's religious leaders resort to conspiracy theories and lies about where these other Biblical prophecies come from. They don't believe in the Bible prophecies about Jesus picking up His Bride before He pours out His wrath upon a Christ rejecting world. They say it's a lie. They say it isn't Biblical. They claim it's an invented fantasy that nobody believes anywhere in the world except the United States. They claim it was never held by the church until the 19th century or so. They claim it was invented by either Darby or Scofield and that it's nowhere found in the Bible even though it's glaring them in the face in places such as:
And folks!!! I'm just pulling those passages from memory!!! There's more!!! The whole Bible speaks of this coming event. Jesus Himself is looking forward to this event with great anticipation while telling us to look up and be excited about it, to hope for it and to even pray for it!!
We're told to always be ready and watch because we don't know the day or the hour of His coming. How could we possibly do that if we're supposed to believe He isn't coming until after the Great Tribulation?
We haven't seen a single day of the Tribulation yet. Where's the antichrist? Where's the great hailstones of fire and blood from the sky? Where's the giant demonic locusts that come out of the pit? Where's the worldwide government? Where's the worldwide religion? Where's the 3D image of the AI Beast that we're supposed to worship?
How are we supposed to expect Jesus at any moment if all these other things are supposed to happen first? How could Jesus ask us to expect Him at any moment if all these other things are supposed to happen first?
He hasn't. He's promised to come BEFORE THESE EVENTS!!!!
AND THAT'S WHAT'S BIBLICAL.

1st Thessalonians 4:13-5:11They ignore all these!!! They ignore every one of them and they say, "Nobody believed this until Darby and Scofield and it's just an American idea." Instead of making straw man arguments, why don't they ever try refuting those passages listed above? What would they say to Isaiah, John, Paul and most of all Jesus for daring to challenge their brilliance and intellectual prowess? I guess they think Jesus, Paul, John and Isaiah were Americans who read from Darby.
John 14:1-4
1st Corinthians 15:51-52
Isaiah 26:19-21
Revelation 3:10-11
And folks!!! I'm just pulling those passages from memory!!! There's more!!! The whole Bible speaks of this coming event. Jesus Himself is looking forward to this event with great anticipation while telling us to look up and be excited about it, to hope for it and to even pray for it!!
