Don’t Bother Judging Me! :: By Ron Ferguson

Andy C

Well-known
Don’t bother judging me!

I get told I am too scared to go into hard times and, therefore, into the Tribulation.

I am supposed to be in the “wishful thinking group” trying to find contentment in avoidance, mythically carried away before the Tribulation comes knocking. That is the reason they say I believe in a Rapture; I don’t want to suffer.

It is conceited for people to say that, and those who do are usually very self-centered. Most of them, I believe, are found in the USA (from my experience). They don’t know what difficult times are but think they will be fine because they have it all worked out.

Ask those who live in Nigeria, Sudan, India, Iran, Congo, Saudi Arabia, Cameroon, China, and so many more that can be named about living in difficult times. Judgmental “know it all” people are short-sighted, speaking off the top of feathery heads and not according to life’s reality.

Such stated nonsense comes from an attempt by the adherence among these people to defend their post-Tribulationism. I don’t know how many Mid-Tribulationists are around these days, but they don’t seem to annoy me.

HOW BAD IS BAD?

2 Timothy 3:1 “Realise this, that in the last days difficult times will come.”
We come back to the unresolved question of how bad is bad? Ask someone living in Florida that question, and you’d get a different answer from a Christian in Nigeria whose Christian neighbors were murdered by the advancing Muslims in that nation and your own life teeters in the balance. Those who propose such stupidity about being too scared are living in a matchbox divorced from reality. Go live in another’s shoes.

How many of you get literature from The Voice of the Martyrs or go online to see their site? Bad is really bad when you begin to understand how dreadful conditions are for the persecuted church.

What about the Barnabas Fund? Do you read that, you promoters of false attitudes? Those who criticize Christians who correctly teach RAPTURE before the TRIBULATION really have no concept about the world of persecuted and dying Christians. Let them rest in their parochial misconception.

Believers, don’t be perturbed by the false teaching of Christians entering the Tribulation. That is the very reason Paul wrote to the Thessalonians because they thought they were in the Tribulation (the Day of the LORD) already and were greatly concerned because Paul (rightly) taught them they would have no part in that coming wrath of God.
