Do you believe in the pre-tribulation rapture? Are you one of those who want to be taken away? It’s time to rethink this doctrine and examine it in the light of the Word of God. Matthew 24:40 is often quoted to support the idea of a secret rapture, but if we read the preceding verses, we find a different picture.

As in the days of Noah, people were caught up in their own affairs and did not heed the warning of the coming flood. They were taken away, not Noah, who was prepared and ready. This pattern repeats itself in the end times, where another flood of lies will be widespread. False teachers, who preach the rapture doctrine, mislead people and prevent them from delving deeper into the Word of God to understand end-time events.

Luke 17 further strengthens the understanding that the one taken is not the blessed one. Vultures or scavengers prey on the spiritually dead, and Satan and his agents use this deception to take advantage of the spiritually unprepared. Christ is coming like a thief in the night, but we have been given signs to watch for His coming.

The emphasis here is not on escaping, but on being ready, vigilant, and engaged in God’s work. We are called to be faithful and wise servants in carrying out the mission of spreading the gospel. God did not rapture Noah or Moses, but provided them with a way to endure the tribulation of their times. He will do the same for us as well.

Therefore, the idea of a pre-tribulation rapture is a false doctrine created by man, an attempt to escape tribulation, and deceive believers into not understanding and preparing for the end times. As believers, we must be ready to endure and fight the good fight, knowing that Christ is with us every step of the way.
