Let the Holy Spirit be your councilor from God’s word itself… NOT the opinion of man! If you notice in the article you inquired about… David MacPhearson did NOT use ONE verse of scripture to back up his statements!

Furthermore, regarding Dave’s research/comments… you must also consider the source and its perspective. David MacPhearson is that of a Preterist theological viewpoint.

Just to make a small point; allow me to offer a few verses to back-up my statements!

Matt 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. (KJV)

Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. (KJV)

Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

And this quote in particular involves the escape… “Rapture“:

2 Thes 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

The Wycliff New Testament interprets 2 Thes 2:3 it this way:

3 [That] No man deceive you in any manner. For but dissension come first [For no but departing away, or dissension, shall come first], and the man of sin be showed, the son of perdition,

The use of the word dissension here in the Greek form also means to depart, desert, or even vanish… that’s why this verse is particularly encouraging to all who “believe”, watching and praying to be counted worthy to escape. (Lk 21:36) (i.e., A Pre-Tribulation Rapture)… read it in context for yourself!

I encourage you to read the “Rapture” link I provided above and Fear, Confusion, and Panic… and pray for the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to you… don’t merely rely on what other men say without first backing it up with scripture for yourself. Jesus and Paul both warned of listening to man!

Would love to hear back form you soon…
In His Mighty Grip!
