What is your rapture position? Pre-, mid-, or post?
Outreach Israel Ministries and Messianic Apologetics promote the idea of a post-tribulational, pre-wrath return of Yeshua for the holy ones or saints, which we believe will occur near or at the end of the Tribulation period. The Messiah Himself said that He returns “after the tribulation of those days” (Matthew 24:29-31), the Apostle Paul said that the resurrection and transformation of living Believers is to occur “at the last trumpet” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52), and the Apostle John recorded how that at the seventh, or last trumpet, of Revelation, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Messiah; and He will reign forever and ever” (Revelation 11:15, NASU), regarding how the Lord returns to establish His throne on Planet Earth.
We do not believe that harassment or criticism of those who believe the other standard pre-millennial views, notably the pre-tribulation rapture, is godly or spiritually edifying. While we are post-tribulationists, we do not consider the rapture debate to be an issue of salvation, but do encourage reasoned dialogue about it.
