The rapture teachers state Elijah and Enoch but fail to also note Daniel in the Lions Den and Shadrack and buddies in the furnace...there was a fourth man NOT put in there by the king. There is NO reason God’s people can not endure the fires of judgment..NO REASON..even with the destruction of the earth. Noah survived the flood..he never left the air of this earth. Why couldn’t God just lift Noah, family and animals up like this so called rapture..flood the earth, dry it up and set them back down? WHY do lukewarm believers, most look more like the world than the Church THINK they are better than all the saints that have died for the last 2000 years? Spoiled bunch..in for a rude awakening. :) Whether THEY believe it or not!!
God COULD do a lot of things . . .
as long as they were consistent with HIS WORD.
Your points are well taken...don’t forget also, the children of Israel when God was sending the plagues on the people of Egypt, escaped the wrath of the plagues. They weren’t removed, they just didn’t endure them.
Same for the passover.
Read also Ezekiel 9:3-6 (I believe this is the scripture)...God tells Ezekiel that he is going to kill every man, woman and child but he asks Ezekiel to have the ‘scribe’ mark the forhead of all those who sigh and cry over the abominations and he will protect them from his wrath.
We as Christians have been judged already...We will have no other judgement...
Noah survived the flood..he never left the air of this earth. Why couldn’t God just lift Noah, family and animals up like this so called rapture..flood the earth, dry it up and set them back down?
Noah didn't go thru God's wrath...The people that drowned went thru the wrath...Noah bobbed around on a cruise ship for over a month with his entire family...Why pick Noah as an example of something???
WHY do lukewarm believers, most look more like the world than the Church THINK they are better than all the saints that have died for the last 2000 years?
Lukewarm??? There's quite a few saints in the last 2000 years that didn't get martyred...They died for various reasons including old age...
Apparently you figure it's only fair that Christians get beat up, bloodied, starve and are tortured before they can get to heaven, eh???
Spoiled bunch..in for a rude awakening. :) Whether THEY believe it or not!!
You sound like a real authority on the subject...Jesus however, says HE is going to meet us somewhere out there in the air...Jesus didn't necessarily mean within the oxygen...Just UP...
Some folks are going to be in for the most shocking ride of their lifetime...Others that don't believe in the Rapture will never know it took place...
And absoulutely, many who call themselves Christians will go on thru the Tribulation and the wrath, and have to sort it all out at the final judgement...But I won't be one of those...
But you are missing the point, God sealed away Noah, Lot, the Levites, and others from his wrath and judgment. They kept Gods word and earned favor with the Lord. If there is no rapture then we can be assured we will be protected.
