[The Ignorant Fisherman]

Greetings in the Name of The Lord Jesus Christ! This brief letter is written to those of you who have been left behind. May I calm your great anxiety and fears with this great message of hope! God loves you and cares greatly for you. He has a great plan, purpose and future for you and your life. He wants only and always the highest and best things for you. So please give your ear and full attention to the words that follow. The days ahead will be days that will not be easy - in fact they will be quite horrendous. But be of good cheer and of good courage. Have Faith in Almighty God and His Word.

Jesus said, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but hath everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17).

God so loved us that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for your sins and mine! God has thus provided a way to restore fellowship with sinners (all humans), and to remove His righteous wrath that was upon us because of our sins and trespasses

He will remove the Church (Rapture) - true believers in the Christ of Holy Scripture then judge the world for seven years then he will come again with the saints of heaven..

You have to see things through a despensational window to see the whole pic. when certain groups through Israel under the bus they miss out on the whole tribulation and rapture teachings..

But we are told we don’t know the time of His return - so let’s all look busy ... for me, I’m in the post camp ... and I look at it this way: the early Christians suffered horribly. Can we who’ve enjoyed all our riches (money and materialistic Walmart goodies, and health) be pulled out before some wrath of the Anti-christ hits? Then to look at those early Christians and say “Boy, we sure were lucky” ... I’d rather stay and fight for my belief and if necessary die for it ... but at least I did something ... and would be proud to stand with those early martyred Christians .... me being a Messianic Jew ....

Eschatology, trinity, homosexual (sodomy is used), zoology, hermeneutics, theology etc.. Good point!

The wedding is in the Millennium. The wrath is of God on the ungodly the tribulation is for all people on earth saved and unsaved. The bible speaks of our faith keeping it unto the end. Christ told His disciples that He would send them a helper instead of removing them.

17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

[The Comedian]

The tribulation period is when God pours out HIS wrath on unbelievers

Will people have not been exposed to Christ and therefore are unbelievers suffer the wrath of God?

[The Ignorant Fisherman]

He's talking to those who will be part of His church (the called out assembly) on the day of Pentecost. When He will come for His own (the Church)or Called out assembly. at the Rapture or the Harponzo (the snatch away)(Greek).

All these verses are referring to that event.

My friend, there are two comings one in the air (the rapture of the church and His second coming from glory to establish his 1000 year kingdom seven years after the rapture. This link might help explain my point on this better.

You will not beat the anti Christ.. only Christ will destroy him when He comes again 2 Thes 2:8, Rev 19:20

lol.. I thought you were goofing on me... and I see that you were..lol

Hey... Don’t take life so seriously... You’ll never live through it lol

[fish hawk]

You got two out of three right but Matt 24 is not the rapture but the second coming. Think about what you just posted. It will happen in the twinkling of an eye, no one will see it coming. And then Matt 24 the sign in heaven and all the nations will mourn. Those could not possibly be the same event. And in fact , they are not. Maranatha

[Vendome]

LOL

that is why like FR and people like you. Smart, good natured and humorous!

[Marysecretary]

Yes, it was a Christian novel but it was based on scripture. Some people need books because they don’t always read the Bible.

[Marysecretary]

That’s right. We can only pray to be ready.

[Marysecretary]

I’m pre-wrath myself. I used to be pre-trib but changed my mind. I just pray to be faithful before it happens, and that we will be ready whenever it comes.
