Do those verses actually mean that?

I recently saw a post on social media where someone was trying to make a case for pre-tribulation dispensational premillennialism. As someone who, after careful study, leans toward historic premillennialism myself, I figured I would look at the verses this individual cited and show how, while they may be used to support a pre-trib view, they do not necessarily support such an eschatology.

Below is the text of his post in italics, with my commentary interspersed in bold.

Friends? Here are how end times will happen- always remember this: the Antichrist WILL NOT be revealed until AFTER the rapture
- if the rapture happens? As a true Christian? You will be gone

I Don't Think That's How It Works

I recently saw this meme on Facebook:

This image communicates a sentiment popular among many dogmatic dispensational premillennialists. I've heard and read it communicated in phrases such as, "You can hang around for the tribulation if you want. I'm leaving on the first load." Or, "There are varying opinions as to the timing of the rapture of the church. You may see it differently, but I plan on being on the first flight out."

Is a "cashless society" really a sign of the end times?



Over the past couple of months, with the coin shortage in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic, I have seen many people posting on social media that the shortage is a fulfillment of end-times prophecies, moving us toward a cashless society for the Beast’s global economy.

One post in particular said: “This morning I stopped at a convenience store...they would not take cash!! No coins. Signs of the times.”


I responded to that post with the question that has been cycling through my brain for a few weeks: “Where in Scripture is there any mention of a cashless society?”

To which someone replied, “So what do you think Rev 13 is describing, if not a cashless society?”
