We are the sons and daughters of Abraham just as the Israelites, Jews and do not forget the Muslims.

I believe we are the children of Abraham but remember, only through Isaac is the seed called.

The millennium would have taken place if we all had not crucified Jesus.

I believe the Bible states that the millennium will begin at His 2nd. coming. Why do you think it would have taken place if Jesus had not been crucified? Is that not what He came to earth for - to die for our sins?

I agree with you that rapture is part of the deception of end times and it will deceive many.

only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. (I think this is the restrainer who may or may not be evil but definitely not Michael.

"Letteth" is a transitive verb (no noun present to make it carry), so it has to go back to who is being discussed - Satan. "Letteth" means to hold on to and the one doing that is Michael (not the church, as some teach). We are told that in Rev. 12:7:

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, (8) And prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.

It is also my opinion that the lost tribes of Israel are todays so called Christians who are also lost.

I agree. They aren't lost to God but they don't realize where they came from. Most don't know their genealogy past their great grandparents.

The verse says nothing about Michael holding onto Satan...The verse is discussing the future battle between Michael and Satan and his Angels...How do you arrive at your conclusion???
