Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa

 

CHRISTIANITY AND THE CHURCH AGE

• Christianity is about having our hearts set on things above

• We are currently in the Church Age, a gap between the 62×7 years and the last 7 years of Daniel's prophecy

DANIEL'S 70 WEEKS PROPHECY

• 7×7 years + 62×7 years + 7 years

• The last 7 years: someone magnifies himself as God, years of wrath and tribulation

THE RAPTURE

• Pre-tribulation view makes sense, showing the character of God

• Consistent with God's character of grace and mercy

• Examples: Noah's removal from his generation, Enoch's translation

SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES

• Romans 9:4, Romans 11:2-6, 17-36 (remnants and Israel)

• Hosea 6:2

• Genesis 6:5-8 (Noah's removal)

• Exodus 33:16-17, Malachi 3:16-18, Genesis 18:22-25 (God's character)

• 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10, 4:16-18, 5:1-11 (the rapture)

• Revelations 3:10, 4:1 (the rapture and God's protection)

THE IMPORTANCE OF TIMING

• Understanding the timing of the rapture affects how we love our lives

• Knowing God's character and nature is crucial in understanding the timing

CONCLUSION

• The rapture is a key aspect of Christian theology

• Understanding the pre-tribulation view and God's character can bring hope and comfort to believers.
