- This clip is from our series "35 most asked questions concerning Bible Prophecy". This clip answers the question: Why is Jesus' teaching in John 14:1-3 an analogy of a Jewish wedding which also infers a Pre-Tribulation rapture of the church?
i'm so glad someone teaches the truth today when the "Catching Away" is so hated in these last days.
Well that just put a permanent smile on my face. I'll never be the same again 🤩
Maranatha Jesus!
This analogy nails the pretribulation rapture view.
simply beautiful!!! This settles the unending and empty winding debates abt the notorious confusion surrounding this glorious, and imminent event.
May those who love sound teaching admire the wisdom of Jésus Christ - our soon-coming King.
Abby 77 GEE is that what Jesus said Immediately BEFORE the tribulation or as scripture reads " Immediately AFTER the tribulation" Read Matt 24 again.
📯📣📢 Now those are words that comfort me a great deal! Thank you Pastor. Praise the Lord. Come Lord!
Thank God for people like you keep up the work God bless you
Thank you for breaking it down so we can understand more😄
Heavenly father bless this man and help us to hear what he is saying
Amen! Maranatha. Come LORD JESUS
Amen pastor, thanks for sharing and explaining the gospel.
🙌🏻 praise JESUS CHRIST. Even so, come LORD JESUS
Beautiful analogy and thank you for the great teaching! - Sister Pam T.
Glory To GOD!!!
Thank you for sharing!
Daniel 12.
In verse 13 Daniel is told to , "Go thy way until the end be"
then
"you will stand or rise to your lot at the end of the days".
Daniel will be raised from death at the end of the days.
So from what Gabriel tells Daniel, his resurrection, (and the resurrection of all the saints for that matter), and the Rapture which is tied to the resurrection in 1Thes. 4:15-17 and 1Cor. 15:51 will come at the end of the final seven years of this age; not before.
After the rapture occurs there will be many that become believers. I personally believe that during the tribulation millions will become believers and will be the largest in gathering of believes in all of recorded history.
I think it would be hard to sit on the fence during this time frame.
Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this
amen, well said, short, concise, and to the point, be blessed.
Nicely condensed- I agree.
We pretty much agree on all aspects of it. : )
Those with greater knowledge that is ignored or not used will be judged harsher than those new believers.
Nice to see you. I miss your videos.
Yes. We are seeing things building up. Gradually and naturally. And rapidly.
Waooh....so wonderful revelation..God Bless you❤❤
You're right. Thank you.
we try to separate his coming from the gathering to try and make these verses fit a pre-trib doctrine but we can't do that...all timing of the gathering is shown in matthew and the fact that its during the last trumpet.
THANK'S THIS UPLOAD JOHNANKERBERG
The pre-tribulation rapture is easily disproved: The tribulation saints are resurrected after the tribulation (Rev. 20:4). This is the FIRST resurrection (Rev. 20:5). The rapture must be after the FIRST resurrection because, "The dead in Christ will rise first" (1 Thess. 4:16). Plus, the resurrection is on the last day (1 John 6:40) and there is only one "last day." - Philip Brown (newwine.org)
Groom = Jesus
Bride = church
Jesus is coming back for His bride.
The Groom is coming back for His church.
I wonder why most "pre-trib" christians use the Jewish wedding as a "type" of rapture scenario. What if we lived in a 3rd world country with no knowledge of Jewish customs and all we had to rely on was the scriptures? Would we then conclude that the rapture is "pre-trib"? Paul told new converts that we must through "much tribulation" enter into the kingdom of God(Acts 14:22) Was he lying to the new believers?
Love this!
💜💜💜💜💜 love u Jesus
for those who believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. If you are not deceived then answer this question This great trumpet sounding in Mat 24:31 is it before or after the Last trump?
Couldn’t find a post by 1nf3rn0 but I copy and post it from my email. In this case I will answer a fool according to his folly [Proverbs 26:5] “Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.”
“+VOLKHVORONOVICH Name one time in the Bible God's righteous
was persecuted? Didn't Noah escape the flood and Lot escape Sodom before God
destroyed the city? Why would anything change in the last days? I'm not buying
the man made dialogue of post trib, you people are sooooo dangerous to the
Faith!”
“Name one time in the Bible God’s righteous was persecuted?” How about two [for the price of one] Abel [in the Old Testament] and Stephen [in the New]. The very first martyrs in each Testament. How obvious is that? Does this person even read the Bible? Have they not read Psalm 116:15-“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints?”
Have they not read Revelation 6:9-10 which says “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?”
No he’s not buying “man-made” dialogue of post trib [even though it’s all through the Bible]-but he swallows Satan’s doctrine of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture.And people like me are so dangerous to the Faith? What faith is he talking about? Certainly not the one the Bible speaks of. Does he think Hal Lyndsay and Perry Stone are going to save him?
This has got to be one of the dumbest defenders of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture I have ever run across. Oh-and in case you’re reading this, it’s “God’s righteous WERE persecuted.” “Was” is singular.Learn to write proper English before you post.
Great information
The bible doesn’t mention the tribulation being 7yrs.
Only the covenant.
Also tribulation means persecution. Thilipsis in Greek.
The wrath of god is Orge (wrath)
The word tribulation can not be used for the latter part of the period.
One week = 7 years. If you don't understand that this is the reference to the 7 years, then you need to go back and read the Word again... because Scripture explains Scripture.
Tribulation is what we have been undergoing since Jesus' resurrection, and even before, as He, Himself, was persecuted. The Wrath of God is reserved for the worst time on the earth, when God completely turns His back on the inhabitants of the earth, and the fallen angels, with Satan as their earth-bound leader, will be in complete control of the earth. Revelation 9 tells us who these beings are! They are the fallen angels, being released from the Abyss, by their leader, who is the star who is falling from the heavens, along with the 1/3rd of the stars. Stars are another reference to the rebellious angels, the 'Sons of God' who turned against Father, and to Satan as their leader. Understanding that Matthew 24 is describing a period of 2,000 years... it's not all at once... then you begin to understand that 'tribulation' (lower-case) is what the Church has been experiencing since His death and resurrection. The GREAT TRIBULATION defines a separate period of 7 years, bookcased by the Rapture (snatching up the Bride, those who have become obedient and sanctified to the Father, through Jesus Christ, and rejecting the teachings of the fallen angels, but following strictly the teachings of the Father) and the actual return of Jesus at the end of the 7 years, when He actually steps foot on the Mount of Olives.
Those who refuse to completely reject the teachings of the fallen angels will be entering into the Great Tribulation age period, and if they survive through the other end, without taking the Mark of the Beast, they will enter into the Millennial Reign in their mortal states, and be the ones to repopulate the earth during that period, as no one else will have that ability, just as Noah and his family did, after the Great Flood (note: both catastrophic events are called 'Great'... why?). There will many who will die during the Great Tribulation, refusing to take the Mark, because they realize that the beings that have taken over the earth will be as what they were told about prior to the Great Tribulation, but like you are, right now, refused to believe that there was an exit plan in place before the Great Tribulation began. These are the 'martyrs' or 'saints' (depending on which translation of the Word you're using) of the Great Tribulation age who do not get their immortal bodies (white robes) until the end of the Great Tribulation age ends. Those snatched up in the pre-Trib immediately receive their immortal bodies. The reason for the pre-Trib Rapture is to separate those that will be co-ruling with Jesus during the Millennial Reign, who have proven themselves worthy (2 Tim 2:15) to rule with Him, just as promised. Peter tells us that we will be co-ruling with Him, those of us who have been deemed worthy/righteous, in Father's eyes, not our own.
If the rapture is an "imminent" event, why do so called"prophecy" teachers always give people an opportunity to "purchase" their teaching at the end of their broadcast? Why not give it away to help their fellow christians? All this guy is talking about is analogy this and that. I have never seen anywhere in scripture where it says there will be 7yrs. of tribulation. All I see is,times,times and half a time,42months,3 1/2 yrs. Where does 7yrs come from? If it was a wk of Dan why not Rev11:11?3yr?
: ) Don't go by what I say. Go by what I mean.
"Earn salvation" is not strictly accurate but Trib Saints will need to prove themselves sincere followers of Jesus which they did not do under 'grace'. (In effect 'earning' salvation by proving themselves sincere New Believers.) The age of grace will be over and they did not accept the free salvation offered. I explained that in a subsequent comment.
This is a subject that can only be addressed by Jesus at the proper time. The point is moot.
If they are in that extreme, I can agree. If 'they' are not ready, they will be in the lukewarm group.
An open mind and not a hardened heart is a good thing.
New moon wasn't seen I understand. So maybe Monday evening in Jerusalem. : )
@rickcappetto
in the new testament we see his coming and the gathering in the same verse and context. And we are told that that day..his coming and our gathering cannot happen until the great falling away and that man of sin be revealed.
We try to pull the gathering out of that but even jesus puts it in that order in Mat 24..why should we think any differently?
One MAJOR ERROR amongst many christians is this, the idea that Jesus Chrsit is going to "Rapture the church. He is going to gather his elect, his chossen ones. The Gospel of LUKE tells us this... [34] I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. [35] Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left."
I have many videos in my playlist that I don't agree 100% but it's food for thought. Can always learn something. And who can claim to be 100% accurate with it all?
I have some favorites that seem to be most accurate. Yes- more than a few of your videos can be found there. : ) God bless!
So this man says that the bride of Christ is hidden in heaven by a pretrib rapture for 7 years & then after the 7 years of trbulation period is presented to the earth to the living at that time to rule & reign. So what about the the tribulation saints from Rev 20:1-6? Are they not part of the bride? Rev 20:5 says that the trib saints are the 1st resurrection & rule & reign with Christ for 1000 yrs. This man needs to take a 2nd look at his theology. PeaceB2All
Whether or not the Lord takes you in the rapture is not dependent upon when you believe it is, only that you are his child, born and free, sealed by the Holy Spirit. And any believer who is his, is awaiting that glorious day.
Looking for Jesus in 2018✝️
Again, thanks but no. Of course we can't 'know' until it happens, but many ppl sharper than I teach from the verses just as I have discerned on my own. I am not alone in my perspective.
In the unlikely event that Believers will be here through the Great Trib, I am ready to accept and deal with that.
We may be in the a/c rule for a while but the 1st half 't'rib will be relatively peaceful. The 2nd half that (Great T) is concurrent w/The Wrath which we are explicitely told we will not see.
EXCELLENT 📖✝️👍
Matthew 13:40-43 speaks about judgment at the tribulation days see Rev.14 :17-20
Scripture defines the coming of the Son of Man on the last day (Mat. 24:30-31, 1 Thes 4:17, John 6:44) the day our Messiah physically returns to earth (Dan. 9:24, Rom 11:25-27, Rev 10:1-7), the day the Word of God appears at the supper of the great God, Armageddon, (Rev 19:11-21, Dan 12:11), and the day the Lamb of God will descend with His bride (Rev. 21:9-10, Dan. 12:12)
@theoferrum actually one needs to read the entire document and remember that our definition of certain words that they used may not mean the same as they do to us today. he taught that no event had to precede the antichrist.
Mind blowing
LOVE IT .
Those who are not ready to go in the pretrib rapture [especially those who have a rabid hatred for it being taught] will be in for a shock and it will not be nice.
PreTribRaptureTruth ... and when it doesn't happen, how many will lose faith?
I can't find any jewish writings about how they conduct the Jewish wedding in Jesus' day. Can someone please post some links?
@THERAPTURECOMES
Correction It is the sealed on the foreheads that are protected. But still why is the church not mention here?
@orthelcid
verse 1 of 1 thess 2 speaks of the coming of Jesus and our gathering together unto him...how that day..the coming and our gathering cannot happen until the falling away and the man of sin is revealed.
This fits with what Jesus said in Matt, how certain things must come to pass then he will return and send his angels to gather his people.
Matthew 24 : 39-41 clearly indicating the rapture :
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
this rapture is also described in Revelation 12:14 the woman were given two wings of a great eagle
Makes no sense to put the rapture at the end none at all.
mlt229222 well thats what Jesus said...AFTER! I BELIEVE JESUS over a man! Was Noah raptured or rescued? Were Hebrews raptured or rescued through plagues? I have no fear of tribulation or deception because God, Jesus and Holy Spirit and I have a wonderful relationship.First I asked and got COMPASSION, now I ask and get WISDOM. THESE TWO QUALITIES WILL MAKE A FINE JUDGE. : )
IT ALSO MAKES NO SENSE TO QUESTION WHATS IN GODS HOLY BIBLE...
@@theogentile4579 the question isnt when the rapture will take place, although I believe as the word says, believers are not appointed unto wrath, but the question is are you ready. This is what matters, if you are ready it doesnt matter when the rapture of the church happens. God bless.
Matthew 24 : 39-41 clearly indicating the rapture :
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Certain belief in rapture timing is not a condition to be saved. Post-T believers will get a nice surprise.
@THERAPTURECOMES The Elders are the church age saints (us) The multitude of Rev. 7:9 are the martyrs of the Lord throughout history.
There are many events that occur at the end, which are somewhat different events, but they still take place at the end as the scriptures have said. The day of the Lord, upon which the rapture and the final battle occurs, happens after the sixth seal when the sun turns dark and the moon turns to blood.
The rapture is a different event than his coming yes, but one can't ignore that they are discussed as happening one with the other. The bible continuously associates the rapture with his coming.
Does Jesus come back at the last trump and are the dead raised the Last day?
Though the Jewish wedding is beautiful, it is not the bases or foundation on which biblical theology should be built. Remember, the Jewish wedding is a tradition of men and should not be used to establish pre-trib theology. The authority of doctrine comes from scripture alone and not traditions.
may i answer ur question that the rapture will take u to :1 Thes 4 16-17
16 For 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:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Rev 19:17-18 Jesus n Saints will slain soldiers in armageddon
Do the dead in Christ rise at first resurrection?
@thetruthimpart Did Paul say that or John?
Keep the scriptures in perspective to who is writing them. John write according to his perspective.
Are you watching this video or just commenting? Please address the video. Is where is Mr. Showers wrong?
Just as the 1st Coming consisted of multiple events, the 2nd Coming will consist of multiple events over a number of years. One of those events is the pre-(or shortly into) Great Tribulation rapture.
Actually, the Apostolic Church came to the same conclusion in 325 AD as the Ephraim Document proves.
And, by the way, the Pretrib Rapture will occur on Yom Kippu 2032 AD...
I never said I was sure it was to be Petra. Who can be absolutely sure of any of this? We will all be at the right place at the right time to be available for what God has planned. God will protect those in the 'wilderness' and they will be witnessed to by some of the 144000 and they will recognize that Jesus is God. Yes, coming events will be horrible.
Where in the Bible does it speak of Jesus marrying the Church or a group of people as the Bride? The Bible says that the Bride is New Jerusalem. This would change a lot of things for many. The marriage of our Lord is not spoken of until Revelation 19:7, after the seven seals, after the seven trumpets and after the seven bowls. Revelation 21:2 and 21:9-10 tells you exactly who the Bride is. This is the place that He has prepared for us ~ John 14:2. People have the gathering together/rapture misunderstood and have taken God's words out of context.
+kdeeezy Right on! You've done your homework. Nowhere does Jesus call his apostles his bride. They would have wondered if he was a Sodomite if he had! John the Baptist called himself the "friend of the bridegroom."
Think about it, when a man considers himself to be the Bride of Christ that means he's marrying Christ. How is that not Gay marriage? Tell that to your average Pre-Trib Believer and watch them turn into ravening wolves!
@Myhopeisinhim Why try and separator the suffering and conquering messiah in the old testament? Because its easy to see, and so is the rapture and second coming.
@prewrathrapture333 No. We are to lift up our heads because "our redemption draweth nigh!" Comfort one another with these words. Jesus could come before lunch! I hope He does. I wait for His return and nothing else.
@THERAPTURECOMES what if it is like this instead.....christ the firstfruit...the rapture at his coming....and then the final gleaning which takes place at the end of the 1000 years? we can't ignore that one can we?
@prewrathrapture333 Luke 21:28 is telling people to look up at the BEGINNING not the END OF. TRY reading it out loud.
The verse before are descriptive/prophetic verses telling what will happen and vs 28 is saying when you see the BEGINNINGS of the previous mentioned verses, look up for your REDEMPTION.
it is just that simple. You make the same mistake reading Rev 20:4-6.
The question has to be asked was Jesus in Matt. 24 talking to His disciples as strictly Jewish disciples? If so then "Tribulation Saints" are Jewish Disciples and part of the church, since they became part of the church, and in fact, the very foundation (Jesus is the chief cornerstone). So according to this approach, only Jewish disciples have to be concerned about the abomination of desolation (the Beast, or lawless one), persecution, and the signs of the Lord's return, false christs, false signs and wonders, watching and being alert and receiving rewards for doing so, falling away from increased wickedness, Jesus coming like a thief in the night, etc. Is that right?
@hiyosilver100 you aren't stating they have to earn their salvation are you? by their own works?
@prewrathrapture333 What I don't understand is that most people that don't agree with the truth of the pre trib rapture are so UPSET. I have noticed that most (not all) post trib believers are annoyed, angry, sarcastic, and frustrated. They don't believe that Jesus could come at any SECOND. On the other hand, most (not all) pre trib rapture believers are calm, polite, peaceful and gentle. If you don't believe me, just look at the posts. Not just here but all over. The post tribs are at war.
lets use logic...If God says in Mark 13 verse 20...that his people are chosen and special (elect) ...who are the people that supposedly raptured up before all of this destruction that he speaks of?? Pretty sure he clearly states that we all are servants..as stated in Rev Chapter 7 verse 3. So if we all are equal from that perspective why would he take some and leave some..fact of the matter...anyone who lives a life in accordance/obedience to the holy spirit is living a pure life..bc of our nature...we have to be transformed, but asking for forgiveness we have a clean slate and pure in God eyes because he is only forgiver of sin!
Their is simply no other way to explain it. Perfect analogy, GOD does everything perfect. It's just a waiting game now. Its,a,matter of time. We the church will all get raptured out at the same time. I believe it will happen the moment the 7 yr. Peace codon is signed that will trigger the rapture
There is a reason why Christ is called a 1st fruit. It is because the bible is pointing to a Hebraic harvest cycle. This happens in three stages
(1) 1st fruits of which Christ is preeminent and has taken place (Completed)
(2) General harvest
(3( Four corner gleanings.
If Christ the 1st fruit is completed then this leaves only two stages left. Next is the general harvest (Prior to trib) and the four corner gleanings (during the trib)
Any other way and it does not fit the dispensations
@THERAPTURECOMES the other possibility is...first christ....then the dead in christ...and then finally the living from the fourwinds as they are part of the harvest but are gathered After the dead...a pre trib theory is not the only line of thinking that is possible.
We have been in the church age since Jesus' ascension to heaven.
Rev 12 mentions that the wings of eagle will take the woman to the Wilderness.
away from the dragon. imho this is prior to the gathering of 144000 Israels
Quote: "Trib Saints (who are not the Bride of Christ) must earn salvation after the rapture when the Age of Grace is ended."
They will find salvation the same way as we, through the blood of the lamb and the testimony of Jesus. Never, ever does one "earn" salvation otherwise they have whereof to glory but not before God. You know that verse I'm sure.
That place in John 14:1-3 is the bride itself according to Rev. 19:17, It makes sense that if Christ returns to earth, then that place is finish.
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Ronnie Murphy thats NOT the bride, it's a city called Jerusalem! read last verse after description of city, verse 27 there shall in no wise enter into it... but they which are written in the LAMBs book of life. Common sense, how can you enter something that you allegedly are? Sheep are not precious stones ect... Maybe you should ask for wisdom now, you're already forgiven so learn the truth BIBLE for yourself instead of a "man" giving his opinion instead of Gods Word.
surely after seeing the Rapture of the bride n Jesus seen in the sky with His saints,
people with get hysterical and regret very much. those who love their lives will lose
their lives - those who lost their lives on the guillotine will gain their lives
@prewrathrapture333 If you could listen to this man, (the whole series) follow along in your own bibles, do the legwork he is showing you and truly open up your understanding completely, and still believe that there is only one coming of Christ in the "Day of the Lord" and that Church age believers (us) will go through the Gtrib then your heart is HARDENED to the truth and if you are born again, we will explain where you were wrong on the way up!
Jesus our Lord is coming soon!
what happened? don't set false dates..it makes others fall away and become apostate. study the Word of God thoroughly and may God Bless you :)
re-read Luke watch and pray to be accounted worthy to escape the snare that is coming upon the whole earth to try those on the earth that he might stand in front of the son of man. these passage refers to the rapture if you escape from it you stand in front of the son of man where in heaven.
Understand also, that the Church is not the Bride of Christ, but the Body of the Bridegroom.
same thing Volk.
Any man who can't tell the difference between his bride and his body is going to be spending some serious time at the marriage counselor. And any man who imagines himself to be part of Christ's Bride, how can we see them as anything less than latently homosexual? A man [calling himself a bride, marrying a man [Jesus]. How is that not gay marriage? This is the kind of absurdity that prevails when people listen to these apostate preachers and don't search the Scriptures for themselves.
So sad to realize how many people will die during the Tribulation after the rapture of the church. Knowing the 2 Thessalonians 2:3 is a physical 'Departure' before the man of sin is revealed. The biggest spiritual falling away was occurring between 300 -600 AD when a major organization married Rome and many true churches were persecuted and christians put to death by them.
We are not appointed unto Wrath..... Comfort one another with these words
There are so many problems with a pre trib rapture its not even funny. There is ONE resurrection to life so if there is a pre trib rapture it is not possible to save anyone after the rapture as the resurrection has happened.
Another problem is it is against Gods personalty. When in the bible has God ever removed his people from tribulation? He has protected us several times from his wrath. But those are two very different things.trib is testing and purification, wrath is anger acted upon.
Who repopulates the earth during the Millennium reign of Christ on earth? How do you explain 1st thes 3 13?
People that get saved and survive the seven years will repopulate the earth during the 1000 years.
Rob B. Yep!
Tony Eaton Google "Hal Lindsey's Pretrib Rapture Proof."
Irv Spielberg yes I agree with hal lindsey.
Tony Eaton only those devout, living sanctified lives, will be raptured. Lukewarm will not be going in the Rapture.
@another lazarus matthew 24:29-31 tells us exactly when that rapture is, in the order of events anyway:) after the tribulation of those days he will send his angels with the great sound of a trumpet and they shall gather his elect.
THIS PROPHECY IS A THEREFORE, NO BIBLE BASE BUT ONLY THEREFORE
This is not a prophecy sir, this is the church in the word of God compared to a jewish wedding. GOD BLESS.
What is the name of this preacher ? I don't see him anymore
@prewrathrapture333 Rev 5:9-10 are the REDEEMED of every kindred, people tongue and nation in heaven prior to Rev 6:1 and the breaking of the 1st seal of which Christ is the only one found worthy to do so. Also, They are those in Luke 21:28 looking up for their REDEMPTION, when they see the BEGINNINGS of those things. AND, Those things are the snare that we are to pray to ESCAPE in Luke 21:34-36.
Do you understand Kingdom of Heaven vs Kingdom of God?
@prewrathrapture333 [ i dont need to listen to this man's sermon.i read the word of GOD.] THAT is the difference between you and I. I study even though I am pretty sure of what I believe for more proof of my beliefsbuy you just admitted that you don't (or won't) listen to this perfectly sensible teaching. I study my bible probably more than most people that I have ever known. I love the Lord, I worship Him morning noon and night, I don't fear death and I am waiting for His return to the earth
@prewrathrapture333
The stop thinking like one! There are verses in the bible that people are applying to events that are meant for that 1000 year kingdom on this earth by Christ. Do you think this dispensation is just one big blank spot with nothing written about it?
Verses are being taken out of context that apply to the kingdom of heaven (Christ rule here on earth) and being applied to other things they are not meant to be used for. CONTEXT
there is the rapture which comes like a thief in the night, and Jesus' 2nd coming which everyone will know and see.
2 separate events, which one is before the trib and the other is after the trib.
the bible describes the 1st events as His church being caught up and no one will know except the believers. if we are raptured after the tribulation, everyone will know right...
see thats the 2nd event. Christ's second coming, which EVERYONE will know when it happens. thats after the tribulations.
@prewrathrapture333 At the Rapture, no one but the saved see Jesus because He doesn't come all the way to the earth. "We who are alive and remain shall be caught up with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord IN THE AIR! and so shall we ever be with the Lord 2Thes. 4:16
