The preacher rapture relies heavily, heavily upon Zionism.
It cannot exist without Zionism, it's impossible.
Because they've designated the seven years,
Daniel's 70th week, to only the Jews.
And if you remove the fact, the false teaching
that the Jews are God's chosen people,
then Matthew 24 belongs to us, you understand?
So they redefine who the elect are.
So they rely heavily upon this teaching
that the Jews are God's elect.
Now why do they do that?
Well look at Matthew 24, verse 29.
It says, immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not
give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven,
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds
of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with this great sound
of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect
from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other.
So folks, if you adhere to a post-trip, pre-wrath rapture,
this makes perfect sense.
Because we are the elect.
The elect are the chosen people of God.
And look, again, I don't even have time to develop this
because that's a sermon in and of itself.
The false teaching of Zionism and the biblical teaching
of replacement theology, where the Bible no longer says
that the Jews according to the flesh are God's chosen people
nor are they the elect.
Who's the elect?
Who are God's chosen people?
Believers.
The Bible tells us who shall lay anything
to the charge of God's elect.
It is God who justified the court of Romans chapter number 8
talking to Romans, goyems, Gentiles, other nations
who are not Jews.
Peter, when writing to people in Cappadocia, Bithynia,
and Galatia, refers to them as the elect
according to the foreknowledge of God.
So it's easily debunked to show, hey, the elect,
it was the children of Israel in the Old Testament.
But as I mentioned today, that's ready to vanish away.
It already vanished away.
In their days, it was ready to vanish away.
Once the new covenant was implemented, at that point,
that transition from the Jews being God's chosen people
to all believers being God's chosen people, okay?
