And most of all keep loving them! Every opportunity drop God into the convo. I gave my brother a book for his birthday about those left behind and the missing. He left it on my table. A month later he’s in hospital. Close call with death. He’s ok, healing slowly. I prayed sent him a txt how to accept Jesus into his life. He came visited and said, maybe shouldn’t have left that book behind huh. I know he’s thinking deeply. He’s still shaken by his near death encounter. God is in the picture working on my brother. He has the prayer. I still pray for him.

      It’s a lie. The rapture is ON THE LAST DAY. John 6.
      The church GOES THROUGH the tribulation. The rapture is ‘on the last day’. Read your Bible. Here……
      Post Trib rapture is based on scripture. PreTrib rapture is based on conjecture, speculation and misinterpretation of Scripture.
      Rapture is posttrib and It’s not really debatable. Here are some irrefutable truths.
      1. The rapture is AFTER the resurrection.
      1 Thessalonians 4. The dead in Christ shall rise first. Resurrection then rapture.
      2. Jesus said the resurrection be m is ‘ON THE LAST DAY’ over and over and over in John 6. That is the last day of the age of grace. The last day of life without Christ. The last day of the church age. The last day of the New Covenant. The next day starts the millennial kingdom. If the resurrection is ON THE LAST DAY obviously then this means that the rapture is on the last day since the RAPTURE IS AFTER THE RESURRECTION.
      The rapture is ‘ON THE LAST DAY’.
      3. The resurrection / rapture is in Rev 20:4. Here we find ‘the last day’. John says he saw the dead come to life. This is the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the rapture is right after it. The rapture is post trib on the last day of the New Covenant. It is AFTER Rev 5-19. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. We will NEVER be apart from Jesus ever again.
      The church goes THROUGH the tribulation. We will not experience Gods wrath just like Israel did not experience Gods wrath when God punished Egypt. And Noah didn’t experience Gods wrath when He flooded the whole earth, but Noah was preserved THROUGH the flood. Not raptured out of it. Israel was preserved THROUGH the exodus. Israel was not raptured out of Egypt. Please that’s ridiculous. We will not be raptured out of the tribulation.
      God will test the church. He will have a pure spotless bride for His Son. Jesus deserves a bride without spot or wrinkle.
      Any other position other than a posttrib rapture twists and distorts Gods Word.
      And then there’s Jesus’ message in
      Matthew 24:29-31
      “But immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days.…..…………. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
      ------
      Jesus Himself says that He is coming back for His church and will gather it immediately AFTER the tribulation.
      How can it get ANY CLEARER????
      Stop with this false doctrine of a PreTrib rapture. The doctrine of escapism has to be exposed and refuted by the word of God. Too many people planning their escape instead of filling their lamp with oil.
      Having said this, in Rev 3:10 God promises to keep those who have proven their faithfulness from the hour of testing. Knowing that be so faithful that God keeps you from the tribulation. Remember this promise of Christ is to only ONE of the seven churches in Revelation. One. There are letters to SIX other churches.
      And remember this verse.
      Revelation 13:7
      It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.
      --
      God will give Antichrist power to persecute and kill His saints. Sounds crazy but that’s His plan. Don’t let people tickle your ears with anything that’s not the truth.
      2 Timothy 2:15
      Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
      Read your Bible. Test your teachers. Reject false teachers. Reject escapism and other false doctrine. Fill your lamp with oil. Endure to the end and you will be saved.
      That’s a promise from God.
      Psalms 91:14-15
      “Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
      I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
      “He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
      I will be with him in trouble;
      I will rescue him and honor him.
      James 1:12
      Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
      Revelation 2:10-11
      Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.’

    I was newly born again in 1978, my wonderful pastor was teaching about the three levels on Noah’s ark. The level of Holy Spirit, the Father and the Son. It struck me a few years ago, that Noah and his family were lifted up above the destruction of the flood and safely brought to a new life. 🕊️

      The “rapture” is false. Only 200 years old. Never taught by early church fathers.
      Those who are “taken” are those who die. Consider the flood and Sodom and Gomorrah - those “left”
      Were saved, those “taken”were killed.
      Consider the 10 plagues. The Israelites were present throughout all 10 plagues. God’s people who crossed Red Sea, were “left. The Egyptians who pursued God’s people were “taken.”
      Finally, the “day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night,” IS the only day, 1 day and is the 2nd coming.
      Why else would scripture say, “WHEN you are imprisoned, think not what to say for the Holy Spirit will give you what to say. Or, in Revelations, those who “endure” will receive a reward, it means we will all have our faith tested.
      Or, how can you be given a choice to either receive the mark of the beast or not IF you are no longer on earth?
      What about the 10 virgins, 5 foolish, 5 wise? This is ALL about the “day of the Lord like a thief in the night.” IT is the 2nd coming of Christ. There is NO RAPTURE

      That's very possible brother that you've been in the church for many years and you have never denied the Lord and you speak of him highly but you have allowed things to creep into your life over the years. Because we are dealing with a sinful world and we are constantly battling at times our guard is let down. We all struggle with some carnality to 1° or another Terry but the Lord would say to you you have hated the Deeds of the Nicolaitans and you have not denied my name. But I have one thing against you, that you have left your first love! Remember from where you had fallen and Repent Return and do the first works. Once you turn from your old way and do the first works whatever they may have been, do it with all your heart Anna joy of the Lord and his spirit will rise up within you and you will know that God is moving in your life. You will know and see it. When you wake up in the morning take time and give thanks do the Holy Spirit within you for all the good things and all the circumstances you are in whether they be good or bad, give thanks for this is the will of God

      The church GOES THROUGH the tribulation. The rapture is ‘on the last day’. Read your Bible. Here……
      Post Trib rapture is based on scripture. PreTrib rapture is based on conjecture, speculation and misinterpretation of Scripture.
      Rapture is posttrib and It’s not really debatable. Here are some irrefutable truths.
      1. The rapture is AFTER the resurrection.
      1 Thessalonians 4. The dead in Christ shall rise first. Resurrection then rapture.
      2. Jesus said the resurrection be m is ‘ON THE LAST DAY’ over and over and over in John 6. That is the last day of the age of grace. The last day of life without Christ. The last day of the church age. The last day of the New Covenant. The next day starts the millennial kingdom. If the resurrection is ON THE LAST DAY obviously then this means that the rapture is on the last day since the RAPTURE IS AFTER THE RESURRECTION.
      The rapture is ‘ON THE LAST DAY’.
      3. The resurrection / rapture is in Rev 20:4. Here we find ‘the last day’. John says he saw the dead come to life. This is the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the rapture is right after it. The rapture is post trib on the last day of the New Covenant. It is AFTER Rev 5-19. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. We will NEVER be apart from Jesus ever again.
      The church goes THROUGH the tribulation. We will not experience Gods wrath just like Israel did not experience Gods wrath when God punished Egypt. And Noah didn’t experience Gods wrath when He flooded the whole earth, but Noah was preserved THROUGH the flood. Not raptured out of it. Israel was preserved THROUGH the exodus. Israel was not raptured out of Egypt. Please that’s ridiculous. We will not be raptured out of the tribulation.
      God will test the church. He will have a pure spotless bride for His Son. Jesus deserves a bride without spot or wrinkle.
      Any other position other than a posttrib rapture twists and distorts Gods Word.
      And then there’s Jesus’ message in
      Matthew 24:29-31
      “But immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days.…..…………. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
      ------
      Jesus Himself says that He is coming back for His church and will gather it immediately AFTER the tribulation.
      How can it get ANY CLEARER????
      Stop with this false doctrine of a PreTrib rapture. The doctrine of escapism has to be exposed and refuted by the word of God. Too many people planning their escape instead of filling their lamp with oil.
      Having said this, in Rev 3:10 God promises to keep those who have proven their faithfulness from the hour of testing. Knowing that be so faithful that God keeps you from the tribulation. Remember this promise of Christ is to only ONE of the seven churches in Revelation. One. There are letters to SIX other churches.
      And remember this verse.
      Revelation 13:7
      It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.
      --
      God will give Antichrist power to persecute and kill His saints. Sounds crazy but that’s His plan. Don’t let people tickle your ears with anything that’s not the truth.
      2 Timothy 2:15
      Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
      Read your Bible. Test your teachers. Reject false teachers. Reject escapism and other false doctrine. Fill your lamp with oil. Endure to the end and you will be saved.
      That’s a promise from God.
      Psalms 91:14-15
      “Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
      I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
      “He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
      I will be with him in trouble;
      I will rescue him and honor him.
      James 1:12
      Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
      Revelation 2:10-11
      Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.’

      I believe in pretrib rapture, but I have problems resolving my feelings about most of my kids, and grankids not being Christian (early Sunday school and baptism doesn't count) so I stress out worrying about them. I know God is just, but it's hard not to still have worries about those we love no matter when Rapture comes, because as a Christian I know My soul is OK.. but your comment made me think about my worries about those I love.

      I can understand and appreciate what both of you have said. We must look at the words you both used to describe your current state..."worried" and "living in such fear". If changing your stance from post trib to pre trib caused you to not live in fear, then it is not the perfect love of God that has given you peace, rather the changing of your circumstance, or view in this case. I would take this to the Lord and ask Him why you were fearful in the first place.
      As for the person who responded and said they were worried for their children...I too have 3 young children, and I can certainly identify with your concern for their souls. But you were right to say God is just. He is also faithful. I take comfort in the fact that I will be here through tribulation to walk faithfully with the Lord as my strength, through whatever may come. I believe He will use us as witnesses to explain to our children the things we are going on in the world. He is already doing it to an extent, but when we begin to see the book of Revelation unfold before our very eyes, we will be there to remind our kids how this story ends. God Bless you. Praying for you and your children. He hears our prayers for them. ☝🏻🙏🏻❤️🙌🏻

They also wrote about how to buy and sell back in their time, they had to have a Caesar reef on their head and a censor with incense in their right hand showing reverence worship to the Caesar. So what makes people think those hardships will not fall on the modern Church. Everyone was against the Church up until Constantine, he was a ploy to get the Church tangled up in the affairs of the world. Bishops were given political power and a salary from tax payers. We all know what kind of people that attracts and it isn’t Jesus Christ. The Church gained ruling authority over people and soon thought Rome was the kingdom of God, while they slaughtered other Christians from other nations along with the enemies of the Cross of Christ. Rome was in direct conflict with the Commandments of our Lord. The real Kingdom of God is coming down from heaven and encompasses the whole world, not specific to a sliver of land. The Kingdom of God has no physical thing it needs to protect. Polycarp along with all Christians was called atheist by the pagans because the Christians didn’t erect temples and altars and effigies to their God. The Christians were heavily persecuted and burned for that by the pagans. I suggest Christians study the history of the Church to make a bit more sense of what we are going through today.

      The rapture theology and the gap between the 69th and 70th week of Daniel 9 were created by Jesuit priest, Francisco Ribera, to divert our attention from the true Antichrist power. This theology was never taught by the fathers of the Protestant Reformation. The rapture teaching didn't become mainstream until the late 19th century when it appeared in Scofield's Bible commentary. It was then perpetuated by The Late Great Planet Earth, and the Left Behind books and movies.
      The 70th week, the antichrist, the power that restrains ("letteth"), the "catching away" of the church, the Little Horn, and the man of sin sitting in the temple, is all discussed in the book, Seventy Weeks, by historian Robert Caringola. This book references loads of additional resources so you can do your own research, but the book itself is an excellent starting point to help you understand where this theology came from, and why it's not true. The truth is much more exciting than what we've been told. We're closer than you think.❤

    My father was a both a Bible professor(Dr. of Theology) and a Pastor. When I was very young, until about the age of 4, he taught at PBI Philadelphia, as an undergrad professor. Then the Pastor of Easton Union Church in New Jersey until I was 7. Then he became a professor at MBI in Chicago until he retired as head of the Grad department, but continued summer, IIRC, 2-4 week courses as well as went back into Pastoring. I was an adult in college and after by his return to the Pastorate.
    I'm sure there are a few people out there who may even know who he is, but the point here was not to establish him, but to show my background as I did not follow in my father's footsteps, I followed my grandfather's who was and artist (Painter). But that I grew up hearing him preach and detailed discussions during family devotions on the theology my father believed and had access to this incredible bible academic and his entire (hundreds if not thousands) academic and historical Christian library. He also knew Hebrew, Greek and Latin and had many translations of books and bibles in those languages, though I never learned them and trusted in his study of them and relay to me. So though I have no formal education from a Bible Institute and a Master's or Doctorate, I could probably test out for at least a lower degree if that were an option.
    He was a pre-tribulation rapture, and that is how I believed too, but I started to wonder (all on my own, not by other's influence, beyond the mention of pre. mid. post) and started studying the topic this year, which led me to this video. Anyway I did start reading some verses that did make me question, so I just settled into the belief of hoping for the pre-trib rapture, but was perfectly happy to just trust in the lord whatever happens. I know the threat of losing my life isn't even a threat, but a blessing as all the faster I'm with Jesus, perfectly happy to die a martyr as I already don't want to live in this world already and am perfectly thankful for the 56 years the lord has given me.
    I am thankful for this video as you have shown me my error in not always remembering to check the word for dispensation. Something I know well as my father taught it well. I am now sure in a pre-tribulation rapture after seeing hearing the evidence and interpretation and dispensation of the pertinent verses to this argument.

We are in the Grace Age right now and then the Jews will be back in the LAW days, so that's just one little reason that shows us we will NOT be here because the Age of Grace will be done.

      Oops. You studied and came to a PreTrib rapture conclusion. Then it was a waste. The rapture is posttrib.
      The church GOES THROUGH the tribulation. The rapture is ‘on the last day’. Read your Bible. Here……
      Post Trib rapture is based on scripture. PreTrib rapture is based on conjecture, speculation and misinterpretation of Scripture.
      Rapture is posttrib and It’s not really debatable. Here are some irrefutable truths.
      1. The rapture is AFTER the resurrection.
      1 Thessalonians 4. The dead in Christ shall rise first. Resurrection then rapture.
      2. Jesus said the resurrection be m is ‘ON THE LAST DAY’ over and over and over in John 6. That is the last day of the age of grace. The last day of life without Christ. The last day of the church age. The last day of the New Covenant. The next day starts the millennial kingdom. If the resurrection is ON THE LAST DAY obviously then this means that the rapture is on the last day since the RAPTURE IS AFTER THE RESURRECTION.
      The rapture is ‘ON THE LAST DAY’.
      3. The resurrection / rapture is in Rev 20:4. Here we find ‘the last day’. John says he saw the dead come to life. This is the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the rapture is right after it. The rapture is post trib on the last day of the New Covenant. It is AFTER Rev 5-19. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. We will NEVER be apart from Jesus ever again.
      The church goes THROUGH the tribulation. We will not experience Gods wrath just like Israel did not experience Gods wrath when God punished Egypt. And Noah didn’t experience Gods wrath when He flooded the whole earth, but Noah was preserved THROUGH the flood. Not raptured out of it. Israel was preserved THROUGH the exodus. Israel was not raptured out of Egypt. Please that’s ridiculous. We will not be raptured out of the tribulation.
      God will test the church. He will have a pure spotless bride for His Son. Jesus deserves a bride without spot or wrinkle.
      Any other position other than a posttrib rapture twists and distorts Gods Word.
      And then there’s Jesus’ message in
      Matthew 24:29-31
      “But immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days.…..…………. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

      Jesus Himself says that He is coming back for His church and will gather it immediately AFTER the tribulation.
      How can it get ANY CLEARER????
      Stop with this false doctrine of a PreTrib rapture. The doctrine of escapism has to be exposed and refuted by the word of God. Too many people planning their escape instead of filling their lamp with oil.
      Having said this, in Rev 3:10 God promises to keep those who have proven their faithfulness from the hour of testing. Knowing that be so faithful that God keeps you from the tribulation. Remember this promise of Christ is to only ONE of the seven churches in Revelation. One. There are letters to SIX other churches.
      And remember this verse.
      Revelation 13:7
      It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.
      --
      God will give Antichrist power to persecute and kill His saints. Sounds crazy but that’s His plan. Don’t let people tickle your ears with anything that’s not the truth.
      2 Timothy 2:15
      Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
      Read your Bible. Test your teachers. Reject false teachers. Reject escapism and other false doctrine. Fill your lamp with oil. Endure to the end and you will be saved.
      That’s a promise from God.
      Psalms 91:14-15
      “Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
      I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
      “He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
      I will be with him in trouble;
      I will rescue him and honor him.
      James 1:12
      Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
      Revelation 2:10-11
      Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.’

      Because it isn’t reliable how all the Protestants read the Bible and interpret it how they see fit. As a Catholic, I know better. We have a teaching authority who guides us . We have a catechism that addresses the end times. You may find it interesting to read as we can’t learn it all in a once a week catechism class as kids. As adults we are responsible to learn the faith as it was passed down from Jesus Christ to Peter to a line of popes that can be traced back to Peter. The Mass presents us with the Homy Eucharist but you must continue to learn the faith independently as it is not preached to us on Sundays.

What is the point of a saved person being here for that? Are you a believer in works and think you have to rough it out to be saved?

      For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

      Especially my response to @willpower6720.
      For decades I've debated with Christians who hold to a post trib rapture view. Many of them aren't educated,and are only repeating what other teachers told them. I have studied Greek and Hebrew exegesis and biblical hermeneutics. In all they years I've engaged in apologetics,not one post trib believer has been able to answer the direct biblical contradictions to their view.Not one. The only continue to reply with the verses they refer to. And notice, @willpower6720 would not reply either. Why? because they cannot refute these verses,or find errors in my argument.
      So rest assured, as Paul encouraged us,God did not appoint us to suffer His wrath. And the tribulation period is the wrath of God being released upon the world. Now the verses that refer to the saints in Revelation and in other places,these people are not the church. The church has been raptured,and we are celebrating the 'wedding feast of the Lamb".Which,by the way, post tribbers cannot tell you when that takes place because of their view. These tribulation saints include the 144 thousand from the 12 tribes of Israel.And know this,only Paul had the "mystery"of the church,and the rapture,revealed to him by God. Not the other apostles,ok? And,this wasn't revealed to him until he wrote Corinthians and Romans,which was over thirty years after Jesus ascended into heaven!Thats why the other apostles didn't write about the rapture.All they knew was what all the Jews were taught. And that was the coming of Messiah to set up God's reign. A time referred to the O.T. prophets as "The Day Of The Lord".

      Post Trib rapture is based on scripture. PreTrib rapture is based on conjecture, speculation and misinterpretation of Scripture.
      Rapture is posttrib and It’s not really debatable. Here are some irrefutable truths.
      1. The rapture is AFTER the resurrection.
      1 Thessalonians 4. Dead in Christ shall rise first.
      2. Jesus said the resurrection is on ‘THE LAST DAY’ over and over and over in John 6. That is the last day of the age of grace. The last day of life without Christ. The last day of the church age. The last day of the New Covenant. The next day starts the millennial kingdom. If the resurrection is ON THE LAST DAY obviously then this means that the rapture is on the last day since the RAPTURE IS AFTER THE RESURRECTION.
      The rapture is on the last day.
      3. The resurrection / rapture is in Rev 20:4. Here we find ‘the last day’. John says he saw the dead come to life. This is the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the rapture is right after it. The rapture is post trib. It is AFTER Rev 5-19. The church goes THROUGH the tribulation. We will not experience Gods wrath just like Israel did not experience Gods wrath when God punished Egypt. And Noah didn’t experience Gods wrath when He flooded the whole earth, but Noah was preserved THROUGH the flood. Not raptured out of it.
      Any other position other than a posttrib rapture twists and distorts Gods Word.
      And then there’s Jesus’ message in
      Matthew 24:29-31
      “But immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days……..And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, ………….And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
      ------
      Jesus Himself says that He is coming back for His church and will gather it immediately AFTER the tribulation.
      How can it get ANY CLEARER????

      Any "Pre-Tribulation" Rapture looks Biblically impossible:
      1) The noun "Coming" of the Lord Jesus is always singular (Mt 24:3,27,37,39, 1Th 4:15, 2Th 2:1,8), thus, only more descent from heaven. This invalidates all Rapture-timings that require two or more "Comings".
      2) "The living... will never precede the 'fallen asleep' [dead]" (1Th 4:15). Thus, the living can't possibly be raptured before "The Last Day " (Jn 6:39-40,44,54).

And whoever does not believe will be condemned (Mark 16:16)." So it is. To be saved, one MUST believe teachings of the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church, and be baptized by receiving the Sacrament of Baptism (which forgives all past sins of the baptized, restores the Sanctifying Grace and indwelling of God in his soul, and make him a child of God and a member of His Body), and observe all Our Lord commanded as taught by His Church. Our Lord saves only those faithful members of His Body, the Church (Eph 5:23), as He saves only the sheep in His Only Fold (John 10: 27-28). You are sheep outside of Our Lord's Sheepfold; thus to be saved you MUST come to His Fold (John 10:16). Why remain outside and lose your eternal salvation? Please come quickly before it is too late, for the Antichrist's reign of terror and persecutions are imminent! May God have mercy on your soul, grant you understanding, and lead you to His Only Fold so that you may hear His voice, truly know and follow Him, and be saved. Amen!

      If you want to see Jesus second coming 2 things 1) make sure that you end up in the tribulation 2) make sure you take the mark of the beast then you will see the 2nd coming of Jesus

    The wheat and the tares are harvested TOGETHER, then separated. The tares are thrown to the fire, the wheat taken to the store house. The wheat, nor the tares are pulled before harvest, less the roots of the wheat are damages and all is lost.

      True , but there is a barley harvest first , there is a grape harvest after wheat , then an olive harvest after that . All of them are God’s moedim- His set aside holy days. Then check out the parable of the man giving a wedding feast for his son and see how many gatherings there are😉

    • @Amaberean

      You are making the same mistakes a lot of folks make.
      One, there is MORE than ONE harvest.
      Two, you are confusing the WORLD and the CHURCH. What I mean is;
      You MISSED the point of what Jesus said when HE explained this parable.
      He said the FIELD is the WORLD. He did NOT say the field is the CHURCH.
      He was NOT making the point that there will be Tares in the CHURCH alongside of true BELIEVERS.
      He was making the point that There will be TARES in the WORLD alongside the true believers.
      And THIS harvest takes place at “…the END of the Age.” NOT the end of the CHUCH age, which ends at the RAPTURE of the church.
      He is talking about the separation of Believers and unbelievers at the END of the Tribulation.
      The angels will collect all of the people who SURVIVED the tribulation (at the “end of the age”) and take them up to Jerusalem to be SEPARATED in the ‘SHEEP and GOATS’ judgement.
      This was Jesus’ OWN interpretation. It makes sense of all the other passages in scripture on this subject.
      Ok, I’ve done my best to make this clear and as simple as I can. I sincerely hope it helps.

      No. It is a total misinterpretation of Gods Word. Read this.

      Post Trib rapture is based on scripture. PreTrib rapture is based on conjecture, speculation and misinterpretation of Scripture.
      Rapture is posttrib and It’s not really debatable. Here are some irrefutable truths.
      1. The rapture is AFTER the resurrection.
      1 Thessalonians 4. Dead in Christ shall rise first.
      2. Jesus said the resurrection is on ‘THE LAST DAY’ over and over and over in John 6. That is the last day of the age of grace. The last day of life without Christ. The last day of the church age. The last day of the New Covenant. The next day starts the millennial kingdom. If the resurrection is ON THE LAST DAY obviously then this means that the rapture is on the last day since the RAPTURE IS AFTER THE RESURRECTION.
      The rapture is on the last day.
      3. The resurrection / rapture is in Rev 20:4. Here we find ‘the last day’. John says he saw the dead come to life. This is the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the rapture is right after it. The rapture is post trib. It is AFTER Rev 5-19. The church goes THROUGH the tribulation. We will not experience Gods wrath just like Israel did not experience Gods wrath when God punished Egypt. And Noah didn’t experience Gods wrath when He flooded the whole earth, but Noah was preserved THROUGH the flood. Not raptured out of it. Israel was not raptured out of Egypt. God will test the church. He will have a pure spotless bride for His Son.
      Any other position other than a posttrib rapture twists and distorts Gods Word.
      And then there’s Jesus’ message in
      Matthew 24:29-31
      “But immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days……..And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, ………….And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
      ------
      Jesus Himself says that He is coming back for His church and will gather it immediately AFTER the tribulation.
      How can it get ANY CLEARER????
      Stop with this false doctrine of a PreTrib rapture. The doctrine of escapism has to be exposed and refuted by the word of God. Too many people planning their escape instead of filling their lamp with oil.
      Having said this, in Rev 3:10 God promises to keep those who have proven their faithfulness from the hour of testing. Knowing that be so faithful that God keeps you from the tribulation. Remember this promise of Christ is to only ONE of the seven churches in Revelation. One. There are letters to SIX other churches.
      And remember this verse.
      Revelation 13:7
      It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.
      --
      God will give Antichrist power to persecute and kill His saints. Sounds crazy but that’s His plan. Don’t let people tickle your ears with anything that’s not the truth.
      2 Timothy 2:15
      Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.

This means that the Antichrist MUST Come First, or Before the Rapture. The Next Chapter also makes this Clear when is says to 'Let NO ONE in any way Deceive you, for it (ie the rapture) WILL NOT take place unless the apostasy comes First, AND the man of lawlessness is revealed ..."
    This means that the Rapture CANNOT happen before the Antichrist is Revealed.

      But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

      Post Trib rapture is based on scripture. PreTrib rapture is based on conjecture, speculation and misinterpretation of Scripture.
      Rapture is posttrib and It’s not really debatable. Here are some irrefutable truths.
      1. The rapture is AFTER the resurrection.
      1 Thessalonians 4. Dead in Christ shall rise first.
      2. Jesus said the resurrection is on ‘THE LAST DAY’ over and over and over in John 6. That is the last day of the age of grace. The last day of life without Christ. The last day of the church age. The last day of the New Covenant. The next day starts the millennial kingdom. If the resurrection is ON THE LAST DAY obviously then this means that the rapture is on the last day since the RAPTURE IS AFTER THE RESURRECTION.
      The rapture is on the last day.
      3. The resurrection / rapture is in Rev 20:4. Here we find ‘the last day’. John says he saw the dead come to life. This is the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the rapture is right after it. The rapture is post trib. It is AFTER Rev 5-19. The church goes THROUGH the tribulation. We will not experience Gods wrath just like Israel did not experience Gods wrath when God punished Egypt. And Noah didn’t experience Gods wrath when He flooded the whole earth, but Noah was preserved THROUGH the flood. Not raptured out of it. Israel was not raptured out of Egypt. God will test the church. He will have a pure spotless bride for His Son.
      Any other position other than a posttrib rapture twists and distorts Gods Word.
      And then there’s Jesus’ message in
      Matthew 24:29-31
      “But immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days……..And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, ………….And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
      ------
      Jesus Himself says that He is coming back for His church and will gather it immediately AFTER the tribulation.
      How can it get ANY CLEARER????
      Stop with this false doctrine of a PreTrib rapture. The doctrine of escapism has to be exposed and refuted by the word of God. Too many people planning their escape instead of filling their lamp with oil.
      Having said this, in Rev 3:10 God promises to keep those who have proven their faithfulness from the hour of testing. Knowing that be so faithful that God keeps you from the tribulation. Remember this promise of Christ is to only ONE of the seven churches in Revelation. One. There are letters to SIX other churches.
      And remember this verse.
      Revelation 13:7
      It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.
      --
      God will give Antichrist power to persecute and kill His saints. Sounds crazy but that’s His plan. Don’t let people tickle your ears with anything that’s not the truth.
      2 Timothy 2:15
      Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
      Read your Bible. Test your teachers. Reject false teachers. Endure to the end and you will be saved. That’s a promise from God.

      Easy. There will be those who turn to Christ during the tribulation. They will pay with their lives. When there are those who were not born again or lukewarm knowing that people were raptured and it was not aliens, they will either make right with God or turn away from him.

      *2 Thessalonians 2.1-3* "Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us-whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter-asserting that the day of the Lord has already come."
      *Gene L. Green,* _The Letters to the Thessalonians_ (2002)
      The coming of Christ in his royal parousia is linked inextricably with two events, those being the “day of the Lord” (v. 2b) and the gathering of the whole church to him, a complex of occurrences that were previously brought together in 1 Thessalonians 4.15-5.2. The word _concerning_ ... introduces the principal concerns of the author at this moment, which had to do with how the false understanding of the “day of the Lord” affected their understanding of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the gathering of the church to him. Most likely the false doctrine about “the day of the Lord” that v. 2 elaborates caused such anguish in the church precisely because it distorted their understanding of the parousia of Christ and the rapture/resurrection of the church. These events are aspects of the same eschatological consummation and cannot be separated temporally or theologically, as some have suggested. _Note:_ [N]ot a few biblical expositors have tried to propose a two-stage coming of Christ that separated his advent for his church from the final “day of the Lord” when he will return with his church. However, as 1 Thess. 4.13-18 shows, only one coming is discussed in the NT and this event will be at the very time of the “day of the Lord” (cf. 1 Thess. 5.1ff.). The present verse brings to grief the popular notion that the rapture of the church will somehow take place before the tribulation. _End of note._
      The first part of the fallout from the false teaching concerning the “day of the Lord” had to do with the _coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,_ a theme the apostle had addressed repeatedly (1 Thess. 2.19; 3.13; 4.15; 5.23; and 2 Thess. 1.7-10). Most likely Paul had taken up this topic with them while he was in the city (2.5). In the present letter, the author refers to this event as the time “when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven” (1.7). He also speaks of “the splendor of his coming” (2.8). Christ’s _parousia_ is the counterpoint to the “revealing” and the “coming” of the “lawless one” (2.6, 8-9). While this figure, the incarnation of evil, will have his own _parousia,_ the Lord Jesus Christ will destroy him when he comes (2.8). The second theme related to the coming “day of the Lord” is the church’s _being gathered to him_ at the very time of his _parousia_ (the focus of the discussion in 1 Thess. 4.13-18). The gathering of the dispersed people of God was a piece of the fundamental hope of the Jewish people that this verse, like many others, recasts in terms of the church. ... This gathering is linked with the glorious revelation of God. Jesus’ teaching converts this hope into the expectation that all his dispersed people will be gathered at the time of his coming (Matt. 24.31; Mark 13.27). The gathering of Christians in worship anticipates and symbolically rehearses this grand eschatological event (Heb. 10.25). (pp. 301-302)
      *Colin R. Nicholl,* _From Hope to Despair in Thessalonica: Situating 1 and 2 Thessalonians_ (2004)
      The meaning of the ‘Day of the Lord’ in 5.2
      The expression ἡμέρα Κυρίου (יֹום יְהוָה) goes back at least as far as Amos’ time (5.18-20) and was used throughout the Prophetic era of the great and terrible Day when Yahweh will intervene to punish his enemies and the disobedient (e.g. Isa. 13.6-16; Ezek. 30.1-4; Joel 1.13-15; 2.1-11; Obad. 15-20; Zeph. 1.14ff.; Zech. 14.1-21; Mal. 4.5) and also to save the faithful (e.g. Isa. 27.2-13; Jer. 30.8-9; Joel 2.31-2 and 3.18; Obad. 21). It is essentially co-referential with παρουσία [parousia] here, as elsewhere in Paul’s letters. In the light of 1 Thess. 5.3 and 4, it is likely that the parousia in its negative aspect (qua judgment) is in view here in verse 2 (cf. 2 Pet. 3.10). This is reinforced by the thief simile which follows. _Note:_ It is enough to note that Paul’s hope for his converts was that they will be blameless ‘in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ’ (1 Cor. 1.8), ‘until the day of Christ’ (Phil. 1.10; cf. 2.15-16) and ‘at the parousia of our Lord Jesus Christ’ (1 Thess. 3.13; 5.23). He longed to boast in his churches ‘in the day of Christ’ (Phil. 2.16) and ‘at the parousia’ (1 Thess. 2.19). His converts could look forward to salvation at the parousia (1 Cor. 15.23) and ‘in the day of the Lord Jesus’ (1 Cor. 5.5). _End of note._ The thief simile is used consistently in the New Testament to imply the unexpectedness and unwelcomeness of the Day of the Lord’s coming upon those who will be judged by it (2 Pet. 3.10; Rev. 3.3; 16.15; Matt. 24.43-4; Luke 12.39-40). That this nuance of judgment, which accords with the intrinsic negativity of the image of a thief (cf. Matt. 6.19-20; Luke 12.33; John 10.1, 8, 10; 12.6; 1 Pet. 4.15), is present here in 1 Thess. 5.2 is evident when we consider that verse 3 must unavoidably be interpreted as an explication of verse 2: in verse 3 the Day is pictured not only as unexpected, but also as painful, inescapable and destructive. (p. 51)
      *D. Michael Martin,* _1, 2 Thessalonians_ (1995)
      [W]e must note that our present passage [1 Thess. 4.13-18] does not seem to present the event depicted in vv. 16-17 as one preceding and separate from the parousia, the day of the Lord (cf. 5.4-9). First, in v. 15 Paul explicitly termed the event he was describing the “coming” (parousia) of the Lord and linked the same term with final judgment (2 Thess 2.8; cf. 1 Thess 2.19). Since Paul did not predict two parousias, then the one event must encompass both the gathering of the church and final judgment.

      There will be no Pre-Trib Rapture, because ithe Rapture will occur at "The Last Trumpet" (1Cor 15:50-52), which trumpet, Jesus called a "Great Trumpet (Mt 24:31), which He will use to gather "His Elect" from out of the extremities of heaven and earth, including resurrecting His dead, within "The Last Day (Jn 6:39-40,44,54). Furthermore, if the living will never precede the dead (1Th 4:15), how can the living be raptured before those to be resurrected within "The Last Day" (Jn 6:39-40,44,54)? Moreover, the Bible is clear: The "Harvest" occurs at the end of the age (Mt 13:39).
