Today, I want to talk about a hymn out of the hymnal, and that hymn is It Is Well With My Soul. It's one of my favorite songs, and one of the things that I like the most about it is that it's very clear that the author of the hymn understood the post-tribulation rapture. That's not surprising, since the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine is a pretty new doctrine, and most of the hymns in the hymnal are pretty old, so most of the people who wrote these hymns obviously believed that the rapture came after the tribulation, and it's very clear when you read the words of the song that that's what the hymn writer believed. Let's read the last verse of the song, It Is Well With My Soul. And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight. The clouds be rolled back as a scroll. The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend. Even so, it is well with my soul. Now, there are two things in that verse that prove that whoever wrote that understood that the rapture was post-tribulational, that it came after the tribulation. And of course, pre-trib rapture churches all over America sing this song all the time, and it just goes right over their head, apparently, what this is teaching. Because there are two things. First of all, the song equates the day when we see Jesus Christ and the trump sounds, and the day that we're waiting for, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight. The song equates that with the clouds being rolled back as a scroll. You say, what's the significance of that? Well, that's directly taken from Revelation chapter 6. After the tribulation and the sun and moon are darkened, after the sixth seal is opened, the Bible says that the sun and moon are darkened, verse 13, and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind. Listen to verse 14, and the heavens departed as a scroll when it is rolled together. And so right there, the song is referring to the events of the sixth seal, when the sun and moon are darkened, and the heavens depart as a scroll when it is rolled together. They say in the song that we're looking forward to that day when the clouds will be rolled back as a scroll, the trump shall resound, of course in Matthew 24 it says sun and moon are darkened, trumpet sounds, Jesus comes in the clouds. The trump shall resound, and then the song says, and the Lord shall descend, even so it is well with my soul. And the even so is in quotes. Well the even so comes from Revelation chapter 1, verse 7, when the Bible says, behold, he cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him, and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him, even so, amen. Now of course those who believe in a pre-trib rapture, they don't believe that Revelation 1-7 is about the rapture, because it talks about every eye seeing him, it talks about the kindreds of the earth wailing because of him. That's not compatible with everybody disappearing and everybody wondering where is everybody. The so-called secret rapture that pre-tribbers believe in is not compatible with Revelation 1-7. And the songwriter of it is well with my soul tied both Revelation 1-7 and Revelation 6-14 to the rapture. Those are both post-trib passages. It's a post-trib song.
