The Apocalypse happened in 70 A.D., according to the RCC? When did Christ return? I missed that part. And where is He ruling from, Jerusalem? That can’t be because the RCC is located in Rome. This is confusing
To understand prophetical verses in the Bible, you MUST study the Leviticus 23 Feast Days. Even the 7th Day Sabbath is a prophesy about the 7th day rest in the 7th Millennium. The church will be "caught up", "snatched up" in the twinkling of an eye at the sound of the Last Trump. The only time the Last Trump blows is on the Feast of Trumpets. The "Great Trump" blows on Atonement and the "First Trump" blows on Pentecost. Pentecost marks the beginning of the church with the falling of the Holy Spirit and the Last Trump will mark the ending of the church with their removal on the Feast of Trumpets. Everyone else is left behind. The blowing of a Trumpet in Israel can be a calling together of an assembly or a warning of battle. The church will assemble with Jesus for the wedding and His crowning, and the ones left behind will begin their Tribulation.
Noah's Flood was a picture of this. Believers were put into the Ark 7 days before the rain of Judgement started. Read it in Genesis and see He built the Ark with many rooms and in the Fathers House there are many mansions. There are a dozen verses talking about the Bridegroom and the Bride come out of there rooms when they come back to earth to rule and reign after the "Indignation" is over. A complete study of the Feast Days will reveal all to you. This is why the devil doesn't want Christians to study Jewish things. This is why the RCC changed the calendar, changed the holy days, and no one teaches the Old Testament. It was the pope that forbade the observance of the Lord's Feasts days in Leviticus and substituted the pagan days of Easter and Christmas. The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed. The New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. Jesus told us in Mat 5 that He didn't come to destroy the Law, but to fulfill it. Today, many say we are no longer under the Law, but that is a lie. Jesus came to destroy the Law of sin and death. The wages of sin is death is no longer in effect if you are a child of God, but the 10 Commandments are still the Law we should uphold. Loving the Lord with all your heart mind soul and strength and loving your neighbor as yourself encompasses all the Law. The church At Philadelphia (church of Brotherly Love) will skip the trial coming on the whole earth. Rev 3:10. That is the Rapture before Tribulation. We must always keep in mind that the Rapture and the Second Coming are TWO separate things. The Rapture puts the Bride away for 7 years until the Wrath of God is over. Those that are left behind will feel the wrath of God because they weren't "watching" for Him to come. If you read the Parables, they mostly say "The Kingdom of Heaven is Like", and then follow with a story about servants or foolish virgins. Disobedient servants and foolish virgins won't be taken in the Rapture even if they call themselves "Christians". That is why there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. You will face the Beast and have to refuse the Mark of the Beast and die for Christ to be saved. Look at how many "Christians" that don't believe in Rapture that go to church, pay tithe, give to charity, and so on. They all will be left behind even though the world might think they would go in the Rapture. When they are beheaded by the Beast, they will be in Heaven as saints, but they aren't the Bride. They are the ones crying out under the altar in Rev 6:9-11. Notice they were called servants.
More than just Leviticus 23, learn about a Jewish wedding and the customs they did at the time of Jesus and you will understand more of what's coming. The groom, after paying the Bride price and making a place for them to consummate the marriage, will go out in the middle of the night usually to get his bride. A little way from the Brides home, The Bridegroom will shout and his bride that has been waiting up every night for his return will go out to meet him. Shouting and blowing trumpets is the same word in Hebrew. Inn the NT the word Midnight Cry was used.If you are a foolish virgin, you have been living every day as you want to and not looking for your husbands return and he will surprise you when you are not ready. He then takes his bride to a room he built and locks themselves in for the honeymoon.
