You seem to wanna have a rapture thread. You guys should get together and post one. All this bleedover from your anti-rapture nonsense just pollutes ordinary threads.
I’ll ping Roman_War_Criminal so that there is plenty of intersection of interest. Best of luck with those religious arguments.
RWC and I have been around the block on this several times and I remain unpersuaded.
You are not persuadable. The issue is to have a civil discussion so that both sides have an opportunity to reach the persuadable. Bringing that bullshiite over to these kinds of threads is... bullshiite.
Revelation 3:10 “Because you have kept my word of patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world to test the inhabitants of earth.”
Does the phrase “…will keep you from the hour of trial…” mean that the Church will be “removed” before the Tribulation begins?
No. There are many Bible verses that show that Christ permits his Church to suffer persecution and tribulation.
In John 17:15 Christ says, “I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one”.
John 16:33 says, “In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
John 15:19 says that Christians have been chosen “out of the world,” but it does not say that Christians will be ‘taken’ out of the world, prior to a time of persecution.
The Church will endure persecutions and tribulations and it will come through them purified. (Mt, Rm, Cor, Thes, Rev.)
I’m guessing that the 50 ChiComm divisions hiding in the Arizona sagebrush since the Clinton administration in 1994 will make their move, unless they left and applied for social security benefits.
Again, it sounds like you wanna have a rapture thread.
Doesn’t seem like there is any exemptions. Which makes this all the more strange.
No bombshell moments. Just a slow, steady decline.
^ This A slow burn.
Next wave is 2022 elections, Nicole Wallace, msnbc, implored Dems to brand Republicans as “Domestic Terrorists”. Spanish Inquisition around the corner. All plunder will be added to the coffers of the Woke.
Those are the ones we eat first.
Nicole Wallace is a fool...that needs to be taken into account. Of course it could happen - there's lots of evil in the democrat party right now - but I'll take this one with a grain of salt.
If as you believe it may have already started, “It is to date a one sided affair, and right has yet to respond/engage.”
I believe religious exemptions to vaccines are cleared all the way up to the Supreme Court. This “vaccine” or any other. They aren’t “granted.” They are supposed to be established constitutional precedent.
I believe the Revelation is by and large a linear book, but with several summary passages that put things into a historical perspective. Rev. 12 is one such summary. It takes the reader through the history of the animosity between Satan and God’s people, and explains why he’s so enraged at being cast out of heaven at the beginning (not the middle) of the Great Tribulation.
When studying the book of Revelation it helps to realize that out of its 404 verses, 280 are basically quotes from the Old Testament. Therefore, having a good command of the Old Testament makes understanding the Revelation much easier. As an example, an adaptation of the woman in Rev. 12:1 first appears in Genesis 37:9-11 in one of Joseph’s dreams where he is the ruler over his brothers. (This is one of the many places in Genesis where Joseph serves as a type of the Messiah.) In Rev. 12:2 the woman is personified as Mary, the Lord’s mother. Put the two together and you realize the woman represents Israel who gave birth to the Messiah.
Beginning in verse 3 we see Satan’s fall, in which he was joined by 1/3 of the angelic host, and his attempt to prevent the Messiah from fulfilling His role as our redeemer. Having been the real leader of the plot to have Jesus killed, he was caught off guard by the resurrection, which turned what he thought would be his greatest victory into a resounding defeat.
Verse 6 is an account of the believing remnant of Israel heeding the Lord’s call to flee from their homes when they see the abomination of desolation (Matt. 24:15-21) because that will be the sign that the Great Tribulation has begun. At that time Satan will finally be expelled from Heaven and confined to Earth to begin the epic battle against God and His people we know as the Great Tribulation. This battle is described in Rev. 13-19 .
I am not sure my rejection to the supposed vaccine is religious based. Rather, I find the pressure and demand scary. For my job, if they mandate it, I consider it extortion.
While I don’t believe this is the Mark of the Beast, it certainly shows how it will be implemented.
When Trump exited the White House I knew then the military was not on his side.

I don’t think it is the mark of any beast either. I object to the use of aborted children however.
Agreed, there is an ill wind blowing from Mordor.
One possible “spark” might be if the gummint decrees from on high that all guns are hereby illegal and to immediately turn them all in.
People will indeed pick up their guns but they won’t be handing them over.
The actual insurrection arising from this would probably start in a rural blue region but quickly spread. And once police and military start changing sides, the game will be fully afoot.
Of course, there are plenty of spark generators in the opening list. Massive cyber attack on the infrastructure, food emergency, more biological hijinks by China or some other player, nuclear warfare at any level, invasion of Taiwan, or a war that starts new “Pearl Harbor” level attack.
Stocking food in a grid breakdown gives you a few weeks - maybe a little more... Better - plant fruit & nut trees NOW. And any food producing vines and bushes in your area that grow easily - without help of irrigation and fertilizers..
