Revelation Week 2
Hmmm... I didn't take a lot of notes last week because the children were with me, but here are some thoughts about the session anyway.
I disagree with Hilton Sutton. I have discovered I am not a Premillennialist
"Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this."
Hilton Sutton used this verse from Revelations 4 as part of his argument for Christians being raptured pretribulation. He drew a parallel between the words come up here, being needed, because that is what would be happening during the rapture.
I am afraid that this interpretation isn't enough to convince me of his position.
When I read the scriptures, specifically Matthew 24, Thessalonians and Revelations I don't believe Christians will be raptured before the tribulation. I believe that they will have to go through it, and persevere until the end. I believe this is why there are so many references to the ones who will over come to the end.
While I have come to this conclusion, I have really liked hearing this teaching and have felt that it has been very worth while. I am really glad I have at least made the first two.
What are your thoughts?

Thank you, thank you, thank you - exactly my sentiments! I agree with you 100 percent! You may be familiar with the web articles of historian Dave MacPherson. I'm especially thinking of Google items such as "Famous Rapture Watchers," "Letter from Mrs. Billy Graham," "Pretrib Rapture Diehards," and "The Rapture Index (Mad Theology)." Keep serving our wonderful Lord Jesus! Clara
