Eschatological Types: A Pre-Trib Rapture, Part 9; Conclusion

In this series of discussions I really haven’t sought to make a case for a pre-tribulation rapture, but rather, to demonstrate that there are pictures that point to something very similar throughout scripture.  I believe that, when put together with all of the Scriptural arguments that have already been established by so many others, the arguments are only strengthened.  I also find it intriguing that there are 7 such occurrences from Genesis to Revelation.  If there are others I would be interested in hearing about them.  If there are types that would seem to rebut any of these, I would be interested in hearing about them as well.  So far I haven’t found any and so the 7 types remain.  Here are the links and synopsis of the pre-tribulation rapture types along with the initial introduction:

• Part 1: Introduction
• Part 2: Enoch, the man who walked with God, was removed from the earth prior to the flood of Noah.
• Part 3: Lot and his family were removed from Sodom and Gomorrah prior to their destruction.
• Part 4: Abraham commissioned Eleazer to find a bride for his son Isaac after Isaac’s offering on Mt. Moriah.  The bride is brought to Isaac as Isaac is going out to meditate in the evening.
• Part 5: Rahab is removed from Jericho prior to it being burned for destruction.
• Part 6: Ruth is at the feet of Boaz near the threshing floor through the night.
• Part 7: Daniel is mysteriously absent while Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refuse to worship a false image and are subsequently thrown into the fiery furnace for their refusal.
• Part 8: All mention of the church ceases from Revelation 6 through the rest of the tribulation described by the book.  Those who are left on the earth are simply referred to as ‘those that dwell on the earth’.
