I, too, am not of any denomination, although I do want to study the letters to the churches in depth. Right now I am focusing on the last day. The great falling away of the faithful has its source in the lies. For protestants the lie of the pre-trib rapture will be devastating.
The bible itself has to lie for that to be a lie, but this does not excuse being spiritually soft. Most who are serious enough about the bible to believe in that catching-up-in-the-air know enough not to be spiritually soft. If you are spiritually soft you will always be playing rope a dope with the devil and get almost nowhere.
The book of revelation is that uncovering or the revealing of truth that may not be comfortable to people..
Revelation 12 held the mystery of the Messiah’s true birthday, although to read over it, one wouldn’t be able to comprehend it.. and like I said, if December 25 wasn’t truth, I wanted Him and His Word to lead me to full Truth.
And He does!
It took rejection of the world. And it was that point that I saw His plan that was written in the sky way before He ever had it placed on parchment.. and genesis to revelation made sense..and so did the Hebrewness of the Savior make sense where the Greco roman Latinness faded...
and Christendom and its traditions became a counterfeit..
And realizing I was worshipping a counterfeit my entire life paled in comparison to realizing there is no pre trib rapture..
Meant to say the pre trib rapture paled in comparison..
In what way?
