You are jumping around on the discussion here. You suggested that Rapturists might see the need to insert seven years after the 6th Trumpet. Balderdash.
You suggest with this post that the topic was the AntiChrist.
>>There is absolutely no ‘good’ reason why you or any other student of the WORD to not know who the anti-Christ literally is.<<
Why not.? Paul says we’re not going to know for a while in 2 Thess 2:7 but the one who now holds it (AntiChrist) back willl continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.
Now about Daniel’s prophecy... (Great!)
Do you not think Christ knew what Daniel penned? (Yes)How about, Mark 13:19? Christ speaking, quoting Daniel 12:1 .... For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. (And . . .??? How does this modify or negate Daniel’s prophecy? The time of “Jacob’s trouble” was a well-established doctrine actually predating Christ 500 years —coming from Jeremiah 49.
>>For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.<< Go on . . .
>>BUT for the elect’s sake, whom He hath chosen, He has shortened the days.<<
The elect are the Jewish remnant which had fled Jerusalem at the Abomination of Desolation. They have been avoiding the AntiChrist since the middle of the Tribulation.
So what is your point????
99.99999999%!!!!!!
Do you suffer from compartmentalization of the mind? Rapture doctrine is full of holes... and IF those adherents knew who the anti-Christ literally is, they would NOT need an escape hatch. The 'rapture doctrine' was born out of the ignorance of not knowing just who is the anti-Christ.
Paul knew who the 'anti-Christ is. Check out what Paul said was one of his major concerns ...
II Corinthians 11:2 ... Paul knew what happened at the Garden Party, and He feared a repeat performance ... a wedding out of season..
11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
Christ shortened the 'time' of Daniel's prophecy for the elect sake. No need to fly away to save souls.
Were Enoch and Elijah 'born again'? I thought that was a prerequisite for the rapture journey?
