Post-Tribulation Premillenial

The Tribulation is an event referred to in the New Testament of the Bible, is a relatively short period of time where people who follow God will experience world-wide persecution and be purified and strengthened by it. The Tribulation is generally thought to occur before the second coming of Jesus and the end of the world.
Premillenialism is the view that Jesus will soon return, defeat the Antichrist and establish a thousand years reign of peace. The post tribulation view brings Christ's "appearing" and His "coming" together in one all- encompassing, great event.
The strenght is the day when the Master appears, He will be honoured and recognised by all. The day of the display for the "King of Kings" is the day of joy for His bride.
The weakness is that there is a claim that we are already in the Millennium, have being since A.D.70- which makes those thousand years already well-over 1900 years and counting..

What is the universal Church? How should the church reflect her unity to the world?

The concept that the church is universal in nature enables us to understand certain New Testament passages more clearly. Believes about the nature about the universal church vary amongst the different branches of Christendom. Evangelical Protestant teach that the universal church is a body of believers stretching across thousand of years of time, from Pentecost to the Rapture, including the dead and many not yet born, that its membership includes believers all over the earth and cut across denominational lines, that the membership are somehow organically related to one another in an undefined, mystical way though they never meet and that this vast collection of believers is one and the same with the Body of Christ which Paul refer ed to in his epistles.

In order to reflect unity to the world, we need to realise that the church of Jesus Christ is one church, Christians of all types should work together whenever possible and cooperation among Christians gives a common witness to the world. Christians who regard church as a unity as essentially spiritual in nature usually emphasise purity of doctrinal belief and lifestyle as criteria for membership. The spiritual unity of believers should show itself or come to expression in goodwill, fellowship and love for one another.

In conclusion, practical expressions of Christian unity have appeared more in organisations or causes that have brought Christians together, without denominational identities.

GOD BLESS!
