I'm not worried. I'll be raptured. God Bless
I have some bad news for you. The pre-tribulation rapture is a false and dangerous teaching. So many people are going to be fricked because they're not prepared to go through the tribulation.

I mean this is 90 percent of society. I’m ashamed to say I could be lumped into this group.

The Bible makes it clear that we won’t know the day but we can and should know the season.
While still vague, the Bible was clear that the disciples interpretation of the timeline of the second coming would be during their lifetimes, and they based that knowledge on what Jesus said.
So it could have been 5 years, 20 years, whatever. But we're over 2,000 years past.
It's not happening.

How does this not describe every generation going back a thousand or more years?
It does. The author was writing about Nero at the time.

Matthew 16:28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
From the Reformation Study Bible Commentary:
" The “coming” of the Son of Man more likely here relates to the entire process by which Jesus receives dominion, especially His resurrection, ascension, and sending of the Spirit. All these things happened during the lifetime of the disciples. The Transfiguration could also be the initial event in this process witnessed by the disciples."

No, but a Greek equivalent was.

I hate to be the bearer of good news, but the word of God clearly states that believers will escape the tribulation bloodbath. “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thes 5:9). “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth” (Rev 3:10).
Because the Bible does not mention the removal of the church.....Let me point out my favorite saying, I created.
"On the day following the great rapture. Churches will be filled with pew sitters holding down pew cushions, while still being led by their pastors .....all the while looking around and wondering what in the hell just happened? "

Bible seems to have been structured around Pauline Christianity more so than Jesus Christianity.
One and the same. "Pauline Christianity" is a liberal Christian attempt to shirk accountability from Paul
s teachings on things like homosexuality and gender roles.
Paul didn't contradict the teachings of Christ or none of his letters would have been recognized by Peter or the other disciples.

Several will know, because they've been taught. Whether they correctly assess why they were left behind is up to debate.

That is not what I'm saying at all.
I'm saying suspiciously books that could be in the Bible that are accounts of Jesus, like the Gospel of Thomas are kept out. There's just a lot of Paul in the Bible and a lot of Jesus kept out. Also I believe Jesus teachings aren't well practices by the Church. My interpretations would be by no means liberal of Christianity. I think a lot Christianity has gone off the rails with liberal thought to the point of being evil.

Read any of the books on how we got the Bible. Many books were excluded because they were of questionable authorship, were written long after the life of anyone who knew Christ, or were known attempts to convolute the teachings of Jesus by other sects like the Gnostics.
All New Testament books were written by people who:
1) Knew Jesus personally or had been personally contacted by Him (Most of them)
2) Were recording the memoirs of people who had known Jesus personally (Mark)
3) Contemporary historians (Luke) who were recording the events for posterity.
I believe the Holy Spirit influenced the version we have just like He influenced the authors that wrote them.

I was hoping the OP would answer my question.
quote:
You should know this, that in the last days there will be very difficult times.
2 For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.
3 They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good.
4 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.
5 They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that
Which period in history wasn't like that?

Have you read even a part of the gospel of Thomas?
There are things in there that are clearly against what the four canonical gospels show about Jesus.
That line alone makes it clear to me that the Gospel of Thomas is not divinely inspired.

Gospel of Thomas #114
Simon Peter said to them, "Mary should leave us, for females are not worthy of life." Jesus said, "See, I am going to attract her to make her male so that she too might become a living spirit that resembles you males. For every female (element) that makes itself male will enter the kingdom of heaven."
That line alone makes it clear to me that the Gospel of Thomas is not divinely inspired.

The world is more prosperous and wealthy as a whole than it has ever been. Modern technology has improved the standard of living for the vast majority of the world's population. Power motivated the kingdoms of history more than wealth, today its all about economic power.
Europe, is completely secular. America, the largest Christian nation, has started publicly mocking God in entertainment and laws are passed that elevate unGodly behavior to acceptable status. It's been bad before, but it's more visible around the world now.

3 They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good.
True for all of human history, but again, America is the largest "Christian" nation in the world and it is becoming more prevalent here than ever before.
quote:
4 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.
True of all of human history, but is there any society that has ever loved pleasure the way we do today? Even this message board representing a conservative area of the country is pro-weed and thinks prostitution should be legalized.
quote:
5 They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that
True of all pagan societies, but now, again, the largest "Christian" nation in the world is full of false churches and false teachers.

I believe in pre-trib, but I'm quick to admit it's a theory.
I think it's the only one that is logical when Old and New Testament unfulfilled prophecy are considered, but I don't know for sure.

"Little children, it is the last time. And as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists, whereby we know that this is the last time."
- 1 John 2:18
As I said, the people who walked and talked with Jesus directly thought it would come during their own lifetimes.
Glad we have experts on this forum who know better.

How fitting you reference another non-historical event when trying to be witty about another event that isn't going to happen.
