I understand that you do NOT understand what I posted. You believe that you won't have to be here when the 'bad' stuff happens. And even though that Paul in all his writings nowhere repeats what is claimed he was saying in his first writing, people still believe they are destined to NOT face the supposed tribulation. Reality is they do not have a clue what the tribulation is.
What is the tribulation? OR who is the tribulation? Christ set the example, who tempted him and what was He offered, and by whom did this offering come? Twisting scripture of course the devil is the scripture lawyer and he know scripture better than the majority of Christians. And he know what scriptures to use to seduce as Paul says. That is the tribulation, and Christ said all but the elect would be deceived if they were still here alive in flesh body.
Christ is described as coming as a thief in the night. This is describing 'conditions' and how is it that a thief could make a move in the night? Well because the 'watchman' is no longer watching, because the 'watchman' thinks that 'Jesus' has come to take them away.
Paul says the 'battle' or tribulation is NOT of flesh and blood. The instead of Jesus is coming first and he will be promising that 'rapture' so many believe they are destined to be taken.
Your tag line is quite profound. The Scripture talks about an exodus that far surpasses that of the time of Moses. I believe we would be wise to study and understand the exodus from Egypt and the plagues of the LORD. History repeats itself and there is nothing new under the sun.
Shalom. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Thanks.
That was slightly more understandable.
In as much as I think I understand what you are saying, you are off the wall about me.
That’s OK. Lots of folks are.
