7 Day Warning Is It Biblical ?

[Jennifleur]

I thought this thread was closed just a few moments ago....

Anyway... I also have never heard of this before. This is the first I've ever heard of a discussion on it, and it seems to me that the majority of members here are saying the same thing. So, I also have no idea where it would have come from. I look at the fact that Jesus said that no one knows the day or the hour except God Himself. It parallels a Jewish wedding ceremony. The groom would go back to his father's house and build a room on to it for him and his bride. Then, the father tells his son to go get his bride. The son leaves, and the bride does not know when her groom will arrive until he arrives to take her home. I heard this explained in one of Steve Hadley's sermons. God alones knows the date, and the Bride will have to wait until Christ returns for her (it will be a surprise, just as it would be in a Jewish wedding). That leaves us in eager anticipation, but also with the reality that we need to be prepared because it could be at any moment.

I hope I made sense.

I WISH there was a 7 day warning! I would be off my diet and eating every carby sugary food in sight!



But sadly, no, there is no warning, it is not Biblical.

I would hold Pizza Hut & Baskin Robbins hostage for 7 days

I think he's refering to a "7 day forcast". I saw one last night.

hahahaha

I've never heard of it either. It doesn't even make sense to be true actually. Because we wouldn't have to watch, then people would get the mindset (I'll wait until the 7 day warning! Then I'll repent)

That's a good point. The 7 day thing is just not biblical.

I could finally have that stuffed crust pizza!!!

Never heard of it. Been a christian for 30+ years, grew up in a Christian family, with a father that loved to look into end times things, a church that preached the Rapture and it NEVER came up.

It's not Biblical.

Even the Noah analogy doesn't work. Noah was "in" the ark, "then" God said it would be another seven days before it would rain.

7:4For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

7:10And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

No comparison there.
If we were Raptured, then we are already "in" the Rapture.

I've never heard of the 7 day warning before, but my Grandfather did suggest 3 days once. My research has dismissed this too, but he got to this figure from the following scripture:

4:16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 4:17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:

As you can see, the dead in christ shall rise first, but that doesn't meen we who are alive will know it, nor does it mention what the time difference is.

Agree completely. The foreknowledge of the Rapture is there, its knowledge of the Jewish Wedding Feast. No warning at all, IMHO

Might be a waiting period between the Rapture and beginning of the 7 year trib

[BarbT]

When the Church disappears and the AC is revealed that will be a "warning" to all who remain that Jesus will return in the clouds in exactly 7 years. Years are sometimes refered to as "days" in scripture, depending on the context.

I've been immersed in all things Rapture/Prophecy related for 10 years now. As far as hearing about a 7 day warning to the Rapture "2500 times" I'm as clueless as the rest of you.

Add me to the ranks of "never heard of it"....

I've read dozens upon dozens of books about prophecy, including some from a Roman Catholic viewpoint, and have heard about this. There is a so-called "warning," but it's a Catholic belief that was given by "Mary" in some of her apparitions. So no, it's not Biblical - given the fact that Marian apparitions are not what Catholics believe they are, I'd say it's a doctrine of demons.

The plot thickens!

Add me as well. I've been studying prophecy about 12-15 years, have read many different books from several different authors, and have never heard/read of a "7 day warning".
Wow....a 7 day warning. Think what we could do with a 7 day warning.

However, I was thinking....{sometimes I think too much} A 7 day warning could be an equal to the 7 year tribulation period could it?
You know.....a thousand years as a day and a day as a thousand years, thus the 7 day warning equal to the 7 year tribulation period?
When the rapture happens and the trib starts, you'd think that people would get some kind of clue, but most won't, as a "deception" will fall upon them.

So, no, I don't think it's biblical either.

[waitin]

I haven't heard of this either. Are you just trying to get us all stirred up?! You know, like saying " lets throw this out there to the RR crowd and watch the responces. " Just asking.

Well, as long as I have been around Rapture Ready, and Christianity, I have heard the theory of 7 day warning about 2500 times now. I have heard it from preachers, evangelists, people on this forum, people on other forums, etc etc.
If you have not heard the term, 7 day warning, then you have not been a Christian for a long period of time.
That phrase used to be talked about on Rapture Ready on a daily basis over 8 years ago.
That is why I am asking the question... because its been so long, I cannot remember if it is biblical or not.

I assure this is not a biblical doctrine. We are only to watch the signs, both on the earth and in the heavens...Earthquakes, wars and rumors of wars, pestilence, etc. Those are our only time markers UNTIL the actual 7 year tribulation begins.
At that point, you can set your stopwatch for 7 years, and at the culmination is when Christ appears in the heavens and claims victory over the nations of the earth and sets up his glorious millenial kingdom.

Been a Christian 20 years; never heard of it.

Sorry to dissappoint you.
