Well, I guess the hundreds of thousands of “Christian” Egyptian Copts, Syrians, Libyans, Iraqis who are being persecuted by Muslim monsters, (hell-on-earth martyr beheading, burned to death, rape til dead) must have poor timing.
Most likely they prayed fervently as their head was coarsely sliced off, and as their flesh seared on fire.
Likely all of the other Millions of Christians and Jews who were slaughtered during WWII, WWI, other conflicts fervently prayed for mercy and god’s divine intervention.
God’s will is a difficult mystery...
I cannot help but not accept modern day just-wait’in to-escape-any-day-now christain doctrine.
Nobody gets out of here alive.
And it seems like the most mistaken self-possessed modern interpretation of biblical script written in the 1600’s by the Church of England.
That some day in the future, much luckier believers with good timing will escape real bad end-of-days tribulation, than the countless other poor souls with bad luck and timing who died, martyred for their faith.
I don’t care to argue about scriptural interpretation minutia because there’s no absolute on earth authority to set the record straight once and for all.
We’ll just have to wait and see.
Be well, you and yours.
1 Thess 4:13 But we do not want you to be ignorant ... 15 For we declare to you what the Lord has told us to say:c We who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have died. ... 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air.
So, 'Nobody gets out of here alive', REALLY? God refutes your assertion.
