Matthew 16:18, was part of the Millennium verses, we talked about. Peter confessed that Jesus is the Son of the Living God. Jesus then told Peter that no one but the Heavenly Father could have revealed that to you. then Jesus went on and said "Upon this rock I will build My Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it." Why then would the church be raptured before the tribulation, when Satan will be the strongest? It seems for this to happen, then the Words of Jesus are in error. The church being around during the tribulation seems to fit with what Daniel chapter 7:25b The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times, and a half a time. If the whole church is raptured before the anti-christ comes, who will be left to educate the people left behind to be saints? If you look at most churches, now they are very seeker friendly, but not very strong on the teachings of God. If you don't know God before you go to church, you may not find Him from the service. These churches are counting on their small groups, Sunday School and other venues to teach about God. If these churches are raptured, who will be left to train the left behinder's into saints?? The teachers, they were counting on would have been taken with the rest of the church.
Didn't Jesus say I will be with you always, even unto the end of the age? I don't see anywhere in scripture where Jesus says He will take some with and leave some behind. We are not talking about sheep and goats here, we are talking about separating sheep from sheep.
