I'll add this to my already too long post I gave you...One(or more) of us is sitting right now, at perfect peace, while the condition of the world is getting worse. Apostacy setting in, and men growing more evil as time goes by. One of us is frantic right now, reading Revelation, expecting a huge revival, not understanding WHY it isn't happening yet. Reading the Scriptures, and trying to make those that SEEM to contradict each other GO together. Explaining away that SEEMING contradictions not very believably. One knows that every day the world gets worse, is one more day of God's grace extended to an evil and adulterous word. And one more day of honor to be an ambassador for Him (2 Cor. 5:14-21). And that as soon as the Body of Christ is complete, with the last person saved by the FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST, we are OUT'A HERE. The other can't be CERTAIN we won't go through at least PART of God's wrath. One of us KNOWS we are not going to experience God's wrath to come. He has promised us that. The other does not have that security. He's just hoping that the rapture comes before it gets too bad here.

One rightly divides God's word of truth. The other one doesn't.

Don’t know where to start!

First, Paul called for a Falling away, not a revival.

We will not go through any of the wrath, that is for certain, because the wrath cannot begin until the tribulation is over, that is what Rev. 15 says plainly.

The tribulation of the saints by Satan will be ended by the first resurrection. Yeshua said that, and Paul repeated it.

The reason that Yehova instituted his feasts for his elect was so that they would always be educated as to his scheduled events, each of which is prophesied by one of his feasts. If you read Romans carefully, you will see that that is the reason why the Jews had to be “blinded in part.” They had to continue the feasts so that the gentile believers would have the opportunity to learn them too.

Every one of Yehova’s major events has occurred on a feast date, and every one of his future events will also occur on its prophesied feast day.

If you don’t know the feasts, you have little hope of understanding the prophecies of the Revelation, especially getting them in order in your mind.

Purim is the key to the beginning of the tribulation. Haman was the early predecessor of the antichrist, and Esther’s union with the Persian king foretells our union with Yeshua.

1290 days after the antichrist stands on the mercy seat of the Ark we will be caught up to be with Yeshua on the sea of fire and glass (can you play a harp?). That is the surest thing in our future.

As long as you keep on misunderstanding what Paul meant WRT rightly dividing the word of TRUTH, and looking for something to divide, rather than seeing that he meant dividing Yeshua’s truth from the false Yeshuas, you will have a big hill to climb. Just look closely at the context of 2Timothy ch 2. He was guiding him away from false teaching.

Thinking that faithful followers of Christ will experience the wrath of God certainly would cause one to not be at peace. But we were promised that He would rescue us from the wrath to come.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

How then can someone deny the words of the Holy Spirit and say “But the scriptures say that the rapture is after the tribulation, at the last trump”? Christ says we will be rescued from the wrath to come and a man says we will experience the wrath to come and not be taken out until after the wrath.

I’ll take Christ at His word.
