... Greatest Hebrew-Christian Scholars NOT Pretrib!<br /><br /> by Dave MacPherson<br /><br /> Jews as well as Christians can cover up facts about the money-making pretrib rapture.<br /> I have in mind Dr. Michael Rydelnik, a widely heard voice on the Moody Radio Network who calls himself either a Hebrew-Christian or a Jewish-Christian - take your choice.<br /> Rydelnik just returned from another trip to Israel and couldn't wait to use his melodious radio voice to keep his listeners in their expectant state of rapturous stupor.<br /> In order to help shore up the worldwide collapsing of the pillar of sand known as pretrib he started off by daring to say that when the tribulation starts, the "day of the Lord" will also be happening!<br /> Rydelnik thus covered up the fact that neither J. N. Darby nor C. I. Scofield (D. L. Moody's colleague!) dared to stretch forward the posttrib "day of the Lord" (and tie it to their already stretched-forward rapture) in order to sustain their latter-day pretrib escapism - evidence that Christian Zionists like Rydelnik can sharply disagree with earlier Zionists!<br /> Scofield, for example, states in his Rev. 19 notes that the same "day" is preceded by the posttrib "cosmical disturbances (Joel 2.1-12; Mt. 24.29; Acts 2.19, 20; Rev. 6.12-17)." (In Rydelnik's case, the future posttrib sun/moon darkening has been preceded by his own scholarship darkening.)<br /> There are historical persons that Rydelnik and other modern pretrib rapture Zionists love to cover up: eminent Hebrew-Christian scholars of the past, all of whom were NOT pretrib!<br /> While names like Biesenthal, Caspari, Delitzsch, Neander, Rabinowitz, and Schereschewsky are practically unknown by most Christians, the names of Baron, Edersheim, and Saphir are much more recognizable.<br /> David Baron ("The Visions and Prophecies of Zechariah," p. 323) wrote that Paul "spoke of 'the blessed hope and the appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ' (Tit. ii.13), for then the hope as regards the church, and Israel, and the world, will be fully realised."<br /> Alfred Edersheim, who expected only one future coming of Christ for judgment, stated in "The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah," Vol. II, pp. 451-2: "We shall best succeed, not by going out of the world, but by being watchful in it."<br /> Adolph Saphir ("The Epistle to the Hebrews," pp. 95-6) spoke of "the advent of the Messiah, which is yet in the future, to which both the believing synagogue and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ are looking, when He is to be manifested in great power, and to be acknowledged as King of the whole earth."<br /> Nowadays the Mideast is constantly in the news. Some feel that Israel can do no wrong while others are convinced that Israel can do nothing right. There are pretrib teachers who even believe that Israel has a special "covenant" with God apart from the Gospel.<br /> And Christians are learning at the same time that a person can disagree with Mideast policies without being viewed as anti-Semitic or hateful. BTW, if pretribs love Jews and Israel as much as they say they do, why don't they want to be on earth during the time of "Jacob's trouble" to love and comfort Jewish persons?<br /> Finally, Google "Pretrib Rapture: A Staged Event," "John Darby Did NOT Invent the Rapture," "The Unoriginal John Darby," "Pretrib Rapture Stealth," "Pretrib Rapture Pride," "Pretrib Hypocrisy," and "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty."<br /><br />{Spied the above on the big WWW.

I was in a cult in the mid-70's to early 80's and they set a date for June 1981 for the rapture and all of the prophecies to happen. I didn't know it was cult. Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
