The Last Trump
The Last Trump, Pretribulation Rapture, The Mystery, Christ the Firstfruits, Last Enemy. What About These Things?

__________________________________________________
Most eschatological interpretations concede the concept of a "rapture". The scriptures describing a rapture at some point in time are very clear and really not possible to explain away. The dispute on the subject is not about 'if' the doctrine of the rapture is the correct interpretation of scripture, but is entirely about the timing of it. Not 'if', but 'when', is the point of the endless contention that surrounds the topic.
Each of the various views have their own specific interpretations to 'prove' that it is the correct one. The purpose of this study though is not to sort through all the differences of the various interpretations, but just to address one of the most important topics with regard to determining the correct timing of the rapture. That topic is the "last trump" of 1st Corinthians 15:52. Opponents of the pretribulation rapture commonly use this verse citing the "last trump" as proof that the 'pretrib' interpretation is false.
What exactly then is the 'last trump'? What is to be understood by the term? What bearing does the 1st Corinthians 15:52 'last trump' have on either proving or disproving the pretribulation position? Or, is the actual significance of the "Last Trump" something else altogether?
The purpose of this study is to answer these questions.

Since Christian had first been awakened to his need of salvation, he longed to be rid of his Burden, the heavy, cumbersome guilt and shame of his sin. Goodwill could not loose it at the Wicket Gate, but now Christian arrives at the Cross, and to his amazement, at the sight of the Cross, his Burden tumbles off his back and falls into the mouth of the Sepulchre. The cross and sepulchre denote the work of Jesus Christ in His crucifixion and resurrection. Here at the cross the Pilgrim finds his relief.

Bunyan describes his own relief at the foot of the cross in Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners:
I remember that one day, as I was traveling into the country and musing on the wickedness and blasphemy of my heart, and considering the enmity that was in me to God, that Scripture came in my mind, He hath "made peace through the blood of His cross" (Colossians 1:20). By which I was made to see, both again, and again, that day, that God and my soul were friends by this blood; yea, I saw that the justice of God and my sinful soul could embrace and kiss each other through this blood. This was a good day to me; I hope I shall not forget it.

Thank you for your love of the Lord Jesus and His Holy Word. It is very comforting with all the suffering going on now especially much of it planned by the --- robbers of God's people whose terrible vision will fall ---- that death will finally be swallowed up in victory.

Ruppe: Christmas Canata
Brilliant classics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAnAqdPQHdo
While comparing the cantatas to the music written by Handel for the Foundling Hospital would not flatter Ruppe, his music nonetheless exhibits many charms of its own: unfailingly graceful phrasing, for one, fresh melodic charm and sympathetic writing for voices. There appears to be a clear Haydnesque imprint to both works, but operatic models are more evident in the sinfonia that opens the Christmas Cantata as well as the style of the dramatic recitatives which move along each development of the familiar story. The work concludes with a trumpet-and-drum chorus in the style of oratorios such as Messiah and The Creation, whereas the language of the Easter music is more rooted in Protestant tradition, rising to the grand harmonisation of an Easter chorale designed for singing by the choir and entire congregation. Any listener keen to expand their knowledge of Classical-era sacred music will find here an album to savour.

ReplyDelete..listening for that 'last trump'
Thank you for posting this. I was just on another YT site and the attacks against the doctrine of the Pretrib Rapture were off the charts. The YT creator, who professes Christ Jesus, provided a platform for all the mockers and scoffers. Those who embrace this doctrine said NOTHING. They did not defend it even though they professed to believe it. I was so nauseated by what I was reading that I had to shut it off. The Rapture is part of the revelation of the mystery that was given to Paul (Rom. 16:25). Perhaps they are not meant to understand it. God is a rewarder to those who diligently seek His truth. Christianity TODAY is nothing more than religion.
