Welcome to Pastor Wenner's Seminar on Bible Prophecy. I have always been interested in the teaching about Biblical Prophecy. Ever since I saw the movie“Thief in the night” came out I was scared that I would be left behind. I remember driving with my parents and seeing a red sky and asking my Mom if that was Jesus coming back.
My prayer is that you will benefit from some of my personal journey and study. Let me tell you a little of my own journey, I grew up in a family and churches where I was taught Pre-Trib rapture of the church. We had a steady diet of prophetic speculation When I went to Moody Bible Institute which is Pre-Trib I began to really look at the issue after being challenge by a person who challenged by view. I was being taught Pre-Trib in my classes but as I began read and study the Bible using the hermeneutical methods that I learned in my classes I could not reconcile what the scripture was saying with what my Professors were saying. The more I examined the scriptures the more convinced I became that the what I was being taught was not what the scripture were teaching. I could not understand and still do not understand why my my professors virtually ignored the Olivate discourse found in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. The more I read these passages the more convinced that I became that my school was wrong and that Jesus clearly taught one second coming that was simultaneous with the Rapture of the Church Then to my surprise I was shocked to find out as I did research on the second coming that the Pre-Trib rapture was not that old that it had not existed in the Church until 1830 and the earliest Apostolic Father were universally Post Trib. (If you would like to read more read Dave MacPherson's The Incredible Cover-up Omega Publishers) This lead me on a scriptural adventure to see what the scripture really teach.
