Les Feldick Bible Study

Why do the seven years of tribulation multiply into all the time in the world for believers?

Believers are raptured, receive new bodies, and step out of time into eternity. Although seven distinct years unfold on earth, eternity makes time irrelevant, so those seven years multiply into all the time in the world. This allows the Lord to give every church-age believer personal, quality time for reward.

Les explains that after the church is raptured, believers meet Christ in the air and go back with Him into heaven, while the seven years of tribulation rage on earth. Once they receive their new bodies, they step out of time and into eternity. That is why seven distinct years on earth can multiply into all the time in the world: they are no longer bound by time. Les stresses that the Lord could never deal with every individual believer from the beginning of the church age until the end within a mere seven years; it would be impossible in that frame. But because believers are out of time in eternity, there is no problem. Les says he cannot explain how, but he knows that once we step out of time into eternity, time becomes irrelevant, so each believer will have specific, personal, quality time before the Lord for reward.
