But how does he KNOW there won’t be a rapture? I will reread later when I have time to soak in what this guy has said.

Wow, the first comforting usefulness I recall ever seeing for outrageous UNBiblical prophetic nonsense from the preterists, a-mils, post-mils, run-of-the-mils and other REPLACEMENTARIANS.

Nice to know you're still on the planet. Some of us were concerned about you.

I gather y'all have still concluded that there's no longer any stars, moon or sun.

Y'all and the flat-earthers must have great parties together.

I hope someone figures out what to do with the food before it's time to go home.

How does the author's contention that this war of Ezekiel 38-39 happened in the past, jibe with:

Ezekiel 38:7 " 'Get ready; be prepared, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command of them. 8 After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety.

The Jews became scattered throughout the world after 70 AD. This war in Ezekiel 38-39 appears to happen after God regathers His people from the four corners of the Earth. I believe the first serious waves of Zionist immigration began only in the 1880s.

Any ideas?

There won’t be a “rapture” to rescue you. Deal with it.

Such a statement manifests volumes of lack of faith. In order to presume a rapture rescues a believer from worldly tribulation, it presumes the world is our destination.

Mandating one to 'deal with it', expresses more envy and malevolent intent to a fellow believer who doesn't ascribe to a particular way of thinking as the author, who seeks vengeance by his own understanding, rather remaining in fellowship with God and recognizing God has different agendas for different believers in His Plan.

There might be some finer truths discussed in the presentation, but the author, IMHO, generally writes from a perspective out of fellowship with God, rather than within His hand.

Bump for later

[Ezekiel]

[Gog] is the commander-in-chief ([ chief prince]) of a coalition of forces gathered from the ends of the earth. He himself is from the land of Magog, and he rules over Meshech-Tubal. His allies include Persia, Cush, and Put (38:5), along with Gomer and Beth Togarmah (38:6). It is no coincidence that together these make up a total of seven nations, and it is significant that they are gathered from the uttermost parts of the known world to the prophet. Meshech-Tubal, Gomer, and Beth Togarmah come from the North, Put (Northwest Egypt) and Cush (southern Egypt) from the south and west, while Persia is to the east of Judah.[1]

Gog appears to be quite the community organizer.

I normally do not post on “theology” threads because I try to limit my posts on FR to “political”. But I thought this was an interesting thread in light of current events. I will withhold my personal opinion unless asked for in PRIVATE, but a good read nonetheless..
