The link is to a sermon we should all give ear. Is the plandemic we are enduring now the final plague of the Tribulation? No, it is a sign of how close the world government is, the government the Anti-Christ will step into.
If you believe the removal of the Believers of and in Jesus Christ as Savior, your personal Savior, well if you are a believer we are soon outta here. If you do not believe in the departure of the Believers before the Tribulation, well then take this message as your exclamation point for denying when 'someone' commands you to take a mark to buy or sell, OR obtain healthcare.
I am questioning your interpretation of the passage. I am in no way calling the passage false. Why would you try to float such a scurrilous accusation?
Read the verses, it clearly says the day of Christ’s coming to gather us won’t happen until two things happen; the falling away and the revealing. The text is plain. Read what it says without a preconceived filter or interpretation.
“Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, . .” 2 Thess 2:1-3
9For they themselves relate of us, what manner of entering in we had unto you: and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. 10And to wait for his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead), Jesus, who hath delivered us from the wrath to come. D-R Bible
One scripture doesn’t nullify another scripture. If you think it does, then your doctrine is flawed.
Sorry, your effort has not proven the doctrine of immanency in error. If there had to be even one sign fulfilled the imminence of the Lord returning for His own would be canceled. But you tired, you really tried.
Remember, the reference to the wrath to come is a reference to God’s wrath, not the anti-Christ’s wrath. The anti-Christ will be revealed before the wrath begins.
BTW, were you aware that the first several translation of the Greek to English interpreted apostasy as The Departure? With the enflaming passions of the reformation, it was the DR Bible which changed the interpretation, and then later the King James changed it again to read ‘falling away’, maybe to soften the splitting for the heretical Catholic Organization, perhaps?
You haven't proven that doctrine is true. The scriptures dealing with Christ's coming speak of Him coming suddenly, not anytime.
It clearly nullifies your personal interpretation, and that was all I aimed to do.
Have a nice decade, but don’t accept the Mark.
Nonsense
If that is the beginning of the wrath, then why do the souls at the fifth seal ask, How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" If the wrath had started, they wouldn't ask that question.
And to the soul’s question, Jesus said, ‘not yet’.
Now, would you like to discuss the sermon from Pastor J D Farag? Have you watched the video?
Kerping
Where does scripture tell us we have to believe in a pre-trib rapture in order to be raptured?
It doesn’t, not anywhere in the Old or New Testament. Ask yourself how you came to that perspective from the sentence I wrote. If you can honestly look at your error, jumping to the conclusion you wanted so desperately to oppose, if you can see that you will get something out of watching Pastor Farag’s sermon. But it appears you are not even going to. And why is that?
