John MacArthur pushes the Rothchild funded agenda of the Scofield Bible.
Reveleation speaks about the cross in the prophetic riddle of the OT, looking back to the cross.
The rapture takes place at the time of your death, and having moved from time to eternity, you will see everyone there together.
Re 1:1 ¶ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John:
What is the revelation about? The Revelation of Jesus Christ
Who was the revelation given to? NOT JOHN John is not yet mentioned. It was given to Jesus.
When was the revelation given to him? Before the cross. After the cross he had been restored to glory and needed no revelation.
When he got the revelation, what was shortly to come to pass? The cross.
Did Jesus tell his friends about it? Of course he did. Every parable and miracle speaks of the cross.
Who was the messenger sent by Christ to signify the revelation? The Holy Ghost. He had taught his disciples; they forgot; and then were reminded by the Holy Ghost.
Who did the messenger remind of what he was taught before the cross? John.
MacArthur denies the 'mystery of Christ' hidden in the OT, and must confess that he cannot read the OT the way Jesus and the NT authors did, along with all the others which deny sensus plenior. They define Christ out of large portions of the OT.
Revelation is the 'rosetta stone' to read the mystery hidden from the beginning.
They also deny the teaching of the cross in the Book of Revelation. Why? Because the cross was the culmination of the revelation of the invisible Father through the works, words, life death resurrection and indwelling spirit of the Eternal Word; Christ Jesus.
