I was thinking about that last night before I finally turned in.

I think you're correct.

However, from my perspective, I won't be one of those.

I will be here for the Final Battle.

Why do I think that? I'm a maverick. A wild card. I won't stand for unfairness, or seeing others treated badly.

I've been fired for standing up for others.

God has a job for me, I'm just not sure what it is.

You're a good debater, and a good person. Thanks.

There evidently are those . . . meek sorts . . . who live through tribulation and repopulate the earth in their mortal bodies.

Plenty of mysteries.

Have often speculated about multiple raptures as people and events are RIPE?

Don't believe that believers IN GENERAL (or at all, really) are appointed unto GOD'S WRATH which clearly begins mid trib. But God could well and likely will have some 'special sorts' slated for . . . Special Forces work the last 3.5 years.

Have wondered for years if I was so slated. Have felt it was optional to some significant degree. Have suffered enough the last 30 years have asked to opt out. Yet, IF GOD were to strengthen me AND ABSOLUTELY ENABLE ME TO BE TOTALLY CONFIDENT OF HIS BEING WITH ME IN THE MIDST OF WHATEVER . . .

I suppose I could change my mind. A growth area. Some sorts of sufferings can be pretty hard on one's faith and confidence. I realize the refiner's fires are hotter and more relentless for a lot of us than ever before.

Anyway--much appreciate your postings. Much. Please keep up the great work.

I don't really think anyone has it all figured out. Don't think it's God's time for having it all figured out, yet. I don't think Christ setting foot on the Mt of Olives is the great 'catching away.' I think that's when He returns with 10 thousands of ten thousands of His saints to wrap evil up in an imploding ball and lock it away for a thousand years.

Anyway--it's still increasingly 'buckle seat belts' time.

LUB, LUB, LUB,

Wow... I don't know what to say!
I'm humbled by your comments.
I will say this... Thanks... but to God be the Glory.

I couldn't get back on last night after midnight... FR was locked up big time... I learned a great deal from your arguments... and I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed speaking with you about this.
Example... It never occurred to me before last night that there will be two mass translations. I was under the general assumption is that there is and will be only one. Your knowledge and interpretation of the scriptures you referenced were not incaccurate. They inspired me to further challenge my own understanding. I did learn a lot.

However, from my perspective, I won't be one of those.

If you have the Holy Spirit in you (born again), You don't have that choice... and you don't want it either. The tribulation period is God's fight. "vengeance is mine says the Lord"

I will be here for the Final Battle.
Yes! you will be... 1 Cor 6:1-2, 1 Thess 3:13, Rev 19:14
(but where will you be during those 7 years prior? see Rev 19:7-9)

You are in good company. Jesus defined the word Maverick

God has a job for me, I'm just not sure what it is.
That's the nice thing about working for God... you don't have to know what your mission(job) is... you just have to follow Him and trust in His guidance. Standing up for others is a perfect example.

God Bless You!
