Covenant Theology: Is This Method of Interpretation Scripturally Sound? [Pamphlet]

About This Product

Excerpt: Another example of this confusion is the idea that when the Lord does come, the Rapture and the Appearing are said to occur at the same time. However, Scripture indicates that there are too many things that have to happen between the Rapture and the Appearing for this to be possible. The Lord must first take us into the Father's house (John 14:2-3) and sit us down at His table and serve us heavenly happiness (Luke 12:37). He will then take His position on the judgment seat and review each of our lives (2 Cor. 5:10, etc.). After this, there will be a time of worship around the throne in heaven, and we will cast our crowns at His feet (Rev. 4-5). Following this, the marriage of the Lamb will take place (Rev. 19:7-8), and then the supper following it (Rev. 19:9). These things cannot possibly happen in the moment of time that the covenantal interpretation maintains.

Furthermore, if the coming of the Lord to judge "the living and the dead" (2 Tim. 4:1; 1 Peter 4:5) occurs at the end of the kingdom reign of Christ, when the Church has supposedly converted the world to God, who among the living would be judged at that time?
