Pre-tribulation rapture of the church, part 1
This "presentation" was promised to a brother of mine about 10 months ago. I have only posted the first part which deals with the so-called "last trumpet" of 1 Corinthians 15:52 which is a starting point argument for many, though not all post-tribs.
May it be a blessing to all.

A trumpet.

[Middle English trompe, from Old French. See trumpet.]
There is no need for such a pointless discussion as to the meaning of trump (especially when it means trumpet), when the writer could have easily focused on context. Those who believe that the seventh angel and the last trump/ trumpet are the same are foolish because they read out of CONTEXT, not because they have an incorrect Bible version.
overall: good study
however, please refrain from using synonyms as two different words and using that to argue through part of a Bible study.
You are right about the context. In fact some post-tribs refuse the "last trumpet" argument based on that. However I didn't use it because Paul could easily have had a revelation about the last coming trumpet if that's what the Holy Spirit wanted. This is clear because the Holy Spirit does reveal to Paul something about "the last trump" (not trumpet) which, whether you're pre or mid or post trib; lies in the future.
I forgot to add to the post that we will be called by name at the rapture, and that the unsaved will only hear thunder.
Rev, what happened to the video?
Is this a test of patience to make sure we all have the fruits of the spirit?
Thank you Carey!
personally, have been busy. Recently came back from a Pastors' conference in Ohio.
Should be writing soon.
