Dear Mr. Lahaye

What part of the word AFTER do you not understand? "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 the heavens 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." - Matthew 24:29-30 Have you read Matthew 24 lately, Mr. Lahaye? Have you read these words concerning the tribulation? Have you read these words that were straight from the mouth of Jesus Christ? "And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." - Matthew 24:31 Are you following along? Did you notice that, in the verses above, the gathering of the elect (rapture) occurs AFTER we see the Son of man coming in the clouds, which occurs AFTER the tribulation? What part of the word AFTER do you not understand? "And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." - Matthew 24:11 You will be held accountable for deceiving people, Mr. Lahaye. Many people are buying into your false doctrine of pre-tribulation rapture, and unfortunately they will not be prepared when the time comes. To those readers of this article that have bought into the false doctrine of pre-tribulation rapture, I ask you this... which do you trust more, the direct words of our Lord and Savior, or the twisted interpretations of false prophets?
