Apokalypsis

Those who hold a Pretribulational point of view believe that when Jesus returns to resurrect and rapture the people of God, this coming “for the Church” will not be known to the world. Conversely, they argue the actual revelation (apokalypsis), or revealing, of Christ, will be known to all the world at the end of the 70th Week of Daniel (that is, seven years later) when Jesus comes “with His saints” for the battle of Armageddon.

Pretribulationists believe that during the interval of seven years the Church will be in Heaven receiving their bema rewards. In other words, it is claimed that when the glorious revelation of Jesus Christ occurs, the Rapture will have already happened seven years earlier. With love and respect for my brethren who hold a Pretribulation perspective, may I suggest a closer examination appears to contradict this assertion.
