I believe they have the garments that have been sown, that will be worn in the re-built temple....
Matthew 24 and the Seals seem to allude to some of the Seals being opened....
Do you still think we are still in the Age of Grace?
I don’t see how, when Apostasy has arrived to the Church.
You said — I believe they have the garments that have been sown, that will be worn in the re-built temple....

Yes..., the Temple garments and implements are being made now. But, it’s the actual “Temple” that everyone is waiting for. They can complete *everything* and yet still not have the Third Temple and thus not have *anything* yet. It’s the building of the “Third Temple” that is the *key* here...
Alll of what you’re seeing is what is called “stage setting” — setting things in place before it all happens (like they do before they raise the curtain on a “new act” in a play (i.e., they “set the stage” before the act begins...).

You asked — “Do you still think we are still in the Age of Grace?”
Absolutely yes...

And then you asked — “I dont see how, when Apostasy has arrived to the Church.”
Well..., that’s a “U.S. centric” viewpoint, if there ever was one. I hear the church in China is booming. I hear the church in Africa is growing. I hear the church in South America is growing. You’re talking about some of the Western nations (i.e., Europe and the U.S.). And I do believe it’s happening in these areas, yes..., the apostasy. But, the church is all over this world an not just in the United States. The U.S. could disappear tomorrow and the church would be alive and well in the rest of the world (in many regions...).
AND..., there is a possible mistranslation of that word, in that it could mean the “Rapture” and not “apostasy” — but “apostasy” and Rapture could be the *exact same thing* — because the Rapture happening would create an *immediate apostasy* in the world with all the Christians gone. Hence an “apostasy”. But, as I said there is some basis for “apostasy” actually meaning “Rapture”....

As for that other part, I’ll have to get back on it, as I’m getting ready to go somewhere... :-)
