That’s easy...At least seven years before Jesus shows up at the 2nd Coming...
We know one thing: it will be after today at 10:16 MDT.
When the Cubs are one strike away from winning the World Series.
The arrogance of man never fails to astound me. To try and reduce a TIMELESS G-d to a calendar that has changed time and again over millenia, to a 24 hour day and a sixty second minute is ridiculous on its face. The sun is not G-d so why do we we reduce G-d to our solar timezone in a universe which consists of an infinite number of galaxies not to mention the vastness of space that people think is empty but could not be more wrong?
The Book of Job CLEARLY states it will be the SONS OF G0D who come back to judge man. It also states in no uncertain terms that man was BORN KNOWING the answers to the final judgement and that his own right hand could save him.
You read words but do not understand them.
One of these questions was “Do you know how many children there are in the UNIVERSE?”
Not just here on this rock, but the entire universe. We don’t even know what our own planet holds and we live here, and yet we try to set OUR standards for an entire universe and every single speculation since time began has been wrong. The universe does NOT work like man expects it to and therein lies your answer. Expect nothing and expect everything. ..because no one knows the Mind of G-d.
Scripture says that no man knows the hour. Per Bible prophecy, every event that needed to be fulfilled before His rapture of the saints has already been fulfilled. Nothing stands in the way of the rapture.
Society is sufficiently deceived to accept the Antichrist, who will be a man of “unnatural affections.”
This satanic deception is now rife in every segment of our lives. People wonder how it is that our politicians can so lack common sense, why they think the way they do. Some know exactly what they’re about. Some have no idea that they are bringing about the Antichrist’s ascension and the utter destruction and terror he will bring upon the earth.
Terrible days lie ahead. The global new world order has made tremendous strides; we are already in their crosshairs. There will be no escape for those left behind. Only those saved will escape the coming horrid days that lie ahead.
Those left behind who finally accept Christ and refuse to worship the beast will pay a terrible price, a price that this world has yet to experience.
For those who do not know, the predictions and visions of Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelations are a hologram of the same period of time. Daniel is from the world’s perspective, Ezekiel from the Jewish perspective, and Revelations from the Christian perspective. The other prophets add details to this time period.
Woe to those left behind. They have no idea of the horror that les ahead.
Interesting article
then I am getting on the Gus Bus. Nobody has more divine intervention than Auburn.
I do feel time is drawing to a close and I think there is ample biblical evidence of this. I think the Great Commission has been fulfilled and we are moving to the days of Noah. But no one, not even our Lord, knows the date. This is reserved only by our loving Father. All we can do is be faithful and watch.
Harold Camping has not left the building, rumors of his death have been greatly exaggerated.
Do you mean the rapture as found in the Scofield notes in Bibles?
Approximately 200 years old and not found in the Bible itself.
For discussion
The usual nonsense that comes from trying to finagle one's way past Jesus' "No one knows the day or the hour".
I caution against setting a time or season. The Lord will come as the Father arranges it. Pointing to news events is not profitable. Continue with prayer and supplication, sharing the good news of Christ’s birth and glorious return.
Could be 50,000 years from now as well.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 is the only scripture i can see that speaks of any one going with out dieing, so based on that i do not believe in a rapture of that sort at all, admitting at the same time that i do not know.
As far as being the firstfruits, i believe we are almost 2000 years late for that.
Jesus said i will raise you up at the last day.
1 cor 15
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
We will be Christs at his coming, if we are his, so we could not be the firstfruits.
One major flaw is that there is no secret rapture of the church. When Christ returns, he's here and that's when the church will be "raptured". It's the second coming. Not the second and third coming.
Also nobody knows when this will take place according to scripture.
I read the one on the False rapture and am inclined to believe that it really was time for her rapture.
When it comes time for some one who loves God they will go one way or another.
Christ is to come back on what he describes as the last day, but the scriptures also say that a day is as a thousand years.
For all we know the last day could have started 999 years ago, we just don,t know.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
There is no sting in death of those who love God because they have nothing to fear, there is no victory for the grave because it only holds the left overs..
A. From:
Enoch
Book 1: Watchers
Chapter 1
1 The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be 2 living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed. And he took up his parable and said -Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come.
3 Concerning the elect I said, and took up my parable concerning them: The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling, 4 And the eternal God will tread upon the earth, (even) on Mount Sinai, [And appear from His camp] And appear in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens.
5 And all shall be smitten with fear And the Watchers shall quake, And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth. 6 And the high mountains shall be shaken, And the high hills shall be made low, And shall melt like wax before the flame 7 And the earth shall be wholly rent in sunder, And all that is upon the earth shall perish, And there shall be a judgement upon all (men).
8 But with the righteous He will make peace. And will protect the elect, And mercy shall be upon them. And they shall all belong to God, And they shall be prospered, And they shall all be blessed. And He will help them all, And light shall appear unto them, And He will make peace with them'.
9 And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.
Revelation 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; 19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. 20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Parable of the tares
Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Jezebel/False teaching see: Proverbs 7
There are numerous obstacles to the resurrection for the present.
To put in the general sense, Daniel’s 70th week has to pass, and the 7th trump will tell the entire world when the resurrection begins. The biggie is as Yeshua stated, the abomination has to stand on the mercy seat of the Ark and declare himself to be God, for the tribulation to even begin.
No trib, no rapture.
