Another great post. Time is short.
Thought you might enjoy this if you’ve never seen it.
Here is a 4 part series expressed in a movie form according to Scriptures, concerning these last days of the church age dispensation.

A thief in the night
Set in the early 1970’s, this is one of the most and widely viewed motion pictures of all time. A Thief in the Night tells the story of Patty, a young woman caught up in living for the present with little concern for the future. She meets and marries a young man and her life seems great, until one morning she awakens to find her husband gone and the radio reporting that millions of people have mysteriously disappeared. As dramatic, earth shaking events begin to unfold around her, Patty realizes she is living in the End Times spoken of in biblical prophecy. Adventure and suspense build to a climax in this powerful gripping film.

A distant thunder
The second movie in the end times series from Russ Doughten finds Patty on the run as she tries to elude the evil forces of UNITE. Throughout this movie she lives as a fugitive trying to hide from the ever increasing trouble around her. This is a follow up to the movie, “A Thief In the Night” and also has two other movies in the series, “Image of the Beast” and “The Prodigal Planet”.

The prodigal planet
In a world devastated by nuclear holocaust, a small underground resistance network battles the terrifying empire of the antichrist. The Bowl Judgments are poured out onto the earth. God’s sovereignty can no longer be denied, and His divine protection covers His faithful remnant. Part four of the classic Mark IV Pictures prophecy drama series.
A Thief in the Night is a great series.
Ferris approves I believe!
Those movies are based on tye 19th century created non biblical concept of the pre tribulation rapture.. they saw the rapturino date as 1988.
Hint, it didn’t happen.
The pre tribulation rapture philosophy denies Christ’s very words and is a false 19th century philosophy along with all false philosophies arising out of Miller ism, including the jehovah’s witnesses and the seventh day Adventist cults
In 1830 Darby met fifteen-year-old Mararet MacDonald, who claimed to have had a private revelation of a secret rapture that would occur shortly
flash alert -- the "secret rapture" didn't occur in 1830 nor in 1870 nor in 1914 nor in 2012 -- but the gullible who persist in believing in the 19thc century creation of secret pre-Trib rapture keep falling for itLet's go through all of the hilarious rapture fails
Net - net, this fake 19th century philosophy has been shown to be continuously failing and still rapturists follow it - adding on a few more years each time they fail
The Rapture question is determined more by ecclesiology than eschatology. Neither postrtibulationalism nor pretribulationalism is an explicity teaching of Scripture. The bible does not in so many words state itThe 19th century Darby philosophy of rapturism fails each time
Premillenialism is a fail - the Millenium is mentioned only once - in the book of the Apocalypse that is filled with symbolism. Its mention immediately follows Rev 19 Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
and then rev 20: 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
This is clearly figurative.
Premils misunderstand the message of Isaiah, Jeremiah and the entire New Testament by claiming the Kingdom is purely corporeal
Both Pre and post are soundly wrong
Thanks for the summaries & links!
