Before the Wrath

I've known about the parallel between the Jewish wedding tradition and the return of Jesus Christ for most of my life.

The church, after all, is called the bride of Christ and if you take the time to examine scripture and Jewish tradition, the truth becomes crystal clear.

The rapture was not "invented" in the 1800's by John Darby. The rapture is clearly shown in both the Old and New Testaments but there are many who want to make the Scriptures irrelevant and mythical.

Open your heart and mind and He will show you how incredible this is.

Jesus will return for His bride. He said "I go to prepare a place for you and I will receive you to myself that where I am, you may be also."

It was common Jewish wedding tradition that the groom would leave his promised bride and go to his fathers house to prepare a place for them both and the wedding and feast. When the place was ready, the groom would send for the bride who would meet him half way and they would go to his prepared place.

A perfect picture of the rapture and the feast spoken of in the book of the Revelation.

This is the reason we watch for Him.

Anyone who believes the rapture is a future event, simply doesn't understand the Bible and is calling Jesus a liar. Jesus was speaking of it to the people then as a future event. He was telling them that judgment was coming on Israel for the culmination of sins that they and their fathers were guilty of, and ending with their complete rejection and killing of God's Son. He even said some of them would see it with their own eyes.

That judgment took place in 75 A.D. when Rome completely destroyed Israel. The rapture, were the Christians at that time who saw the army on the hill and believed in what Jesus said and then fled, while the Roman army held back for three days.

Now, the only remaining prophecy is that Christianity will spread over all the earth. Not until every tongue confesses and every knee bows, will Christ return. Probably thousands of more years, but all in God's time.

I'm so glad I bought this without knowing much about it. It is a compelling and well constructed presentation of the importance of the return of Jesus and why Christians need to take it seriously today

I love the fact that Jack Hibbs was in this movie. Great documentary about the return of Jesus Christ. Matthew and Revelation reveals this in the good book. This film answers a lot of questions surrounding the end of days to come, and why Jesus use certain languages and parables to foresee his return to earth after his crucifixion and resurrection. Highly recommend it to anyone who is a Christian and even if you are not a Christian, this documentary explains a lot about the New Testament, and even the old testament. Great editing, and cinematography. The narration was excellent as well. Don't mess up on checking this one out if you love Jesus or interested in learning more about Him.

Before the Wrath is a tremendous and timely documentary-Brent Miller, Jr. is a fantastic film maker, and this is his best by far. The message is powerful, perfectly timed for a chaotic world that's lost its way, and a shining encouragement for a church that has drifted from its 'hope of glory'. Beautifully shot, well-paced and brimming with solid content. Mind blown and blessed--a must-see.
