The Tragic Divorce of Our “Blessed Hope” from the Gospel

The Tragic Divorce of Our “Blessed Hope” from the Gospel

Somewhere in the past a tragic divorce occurred; someone decided that we must separate the return of Jesus for His church from the proclamation of the Gospel.

(Note: this is a repost from over a year ago that I am adding to go along with my post regarding the most ignored verse in the Bible.)

Yes! “Our Blessed Hope” Matters

Yes! “Our Blessed Hope” Matters

Just as the rapture infused hope into the boy of my past, it does so for believers today amid the lawlessness and rampant violence on our streets. It matters now more than ever before!

One has to consciously block out the many prophetic signs of the coming tribulation in order to deny that we live in the last days of human history. It’s simply not sensible to dismiss the words of the book of Revelation as history or allegory at a time when we see its prophecies coming to life before our eyes.

Why all the Fuss about the Pretribulation Rapture?

Why all the Fuss about the Pretribulation Rapture?

Our expectation is not the wrath of God that will be poured out during the day of the Lord or the seven year tribulation. Dying side by side with the Christ-rejecting world experiencing God’s horrendous judgments is most assuredly NOT our “blessed hope.” No, no, no! Our imminent expectation consists of seeing Jesus face to face and that moment is rapidly approaching. This is the substance of our “blessed hope” (Titus 2:13).
