and that refers to humans. Churches today should have the
task of interpreting the scriptures that are based on the last
days theory.
Now this is where things get interesting. Supposedly it states in the
Bible that there will be something called rapture. The concept of the
rapture was to have been secret, because it was the time when Jesus
would come and take the true believers in Christ to heaven. This event
would follow the seven year tribulation and that anti-Christ. So during the
seven year tribulation Christ would come and establish a throne – how
interesting?
But before we get into the return of Jesus and the Rapture, let’s
make sure we understand the last days concept and the tribulations. One
might ask if these two concepts are connected? And the answer is, they
have similar facts and events. For example, according to the Bible the
seven year tribulation is when the anti-Christ will appear. It was also said
he will turn against his friends, which was called the Great Tribulations.
Author John Show points out some interesting points that are
related to the last days topic; they are:
• [Matthew 24] states Jesus spells out all these things in
chronological order, including the birth pangs or sorrows of the
world.
• Jesus warns us of the rumors of war and famine and
earthquake, which was said to happen in the first three years
and was said to be bad for some people. The reference to the
seven year tribulation is a warning that there is more pain to
come, and it is related to the second coming of Jesus.
Interesting, and it still remains a mystery to some. For some it is
hard to grasp the concept that we are living in the last days.
One writer claims that we are not living in the last days, because
of her views, and yet others have thought of her as a scoffer
[someone who rejects the word of God]. This writer tells us the
meaning of the last days refers to the New Covenant Era, when
Jesus Christ will return. But last days concept can be rather
confusing to some. Today there are a lot of us who follow the idea
that the world is coming to an end. And others just don’t know,
because they have limited information. Some scientists play a part
in this concept because, unless there’s a real catastrophic disaster,
humans will exist in any generations. On the other hand, according
