You’re welcome, you fellow nutcase.
We’ve been listening to this nonsense for many years.
Wake up! The Bible says you will not know the moment.
So stop predicting false prophesies!
The persecutions you anticipate are not The Wrath of God, a wrath that is the hallmark of The Tribulation years. When the Lamb opens that first of seven seals in the scroll, the rider on the white horse carrying a bow with no arrows activates the wrath of God upon the unbelievers. I anticipate that wrath to fall upon those who survive the chaos / catastrophe which results from God removing tens of millions from our population here in America. You won't want to be here to see that hellish environment, so get born again now. Don't wait.
There is no hell for those who see their God wherever they are. From the moment God said (let there be light), the world has been witness to an unending presentation of God’s directing. Unfortunately, many choose the the wrong narrator to understand what they are seeing.
There is no heaven for those who seek separation from God. It is impossible for God to be absent, even a heart that has alienated God from it’s ability to love, holds God tightly in it’s hatred of him.
You have problems.......I think you need to open a Bible instead of putting in your unwarranted and unwelcome opinions. Don’t come on this thread if it bothers you!
Count me in,
I’m tired of Packing
For the trip!
I, too, am a nutcase.
At the Last Trump, the 7th Trump. To me, that is when those who are still alive will be transformed, along with the dead. ALL will be transformed, even those who are not believers. Those who were Sainted by the process of being killed for their faith must wait, until their brethren also die for their faith.
Clearly, again in my opinion, the vast majority will not be raptured as they wish. I cannot say if any beside the 2 witnesses will be, but with God all things are possible. Tribulation will come to all, it is the fire that refines us.
I’m with you two.
Keep an open mind.
Great Deception is the
Phrase of the day.
.
Didn’t mention this, either:
This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Matthew 24:14 WMB
https://bible.com/bible/1209/mat.24.14.WMB
...or Mark’s take on it:
The Good News must first be preached to all the nations.
Mark 13:10 WMB
https://bible.com/bible/1209/mrk.13.10.WMB
...or Jesus’ recitation of coming events:
But in those days, AFTER THAT OPPRESSION, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. THEN they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. THEN he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.
Mark 13:24-27 WMB
https://bible.com/bible/1209/mrk.13.24-27.WMB
As corroborated by this, which takes place AFTER the Seven Seals, AS PART OF events announced by the Seventh Trumpet, and JUST BEFORE the Seven Bowls of The Wrath of God:
Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Send your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!” He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
Revelation 14:15-16 WMB
https://bible.com/bible/1209/rev.14.15-16.WMB
This is our being gathered to Him referenced here:
Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah and our gathering together to him, we ask you not to be quickly shaken in your mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter as if from us, saying that the day of Messiah has already come.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-2 WMB
https://bible.com/bible/1209/2th.2.1-2.WMB
...and the reader ought WELL NOTE how tightly conjoined are Jesus’ return and our being gathered; The Coming and The Gathering are — TOGETHER — part and parcel of The Day of Messiah:
Seven Seals, then at the Seventh Trumpet here comes The King, were gathered up, Seven Bowls of Wrath are poured out, one upon another, then Revelation 19, BOOOM! The carrion beasts mop up, and The Day is DONE.
During the time of Jacob’s Troubles who will be preaching the coming Kingdom?
That’s because neither of you know how to rightly divide the word
There are many beliefs/opinions about the *Rapture/Second Coming. Everyone is entitled to that belief if scripture backs it up, the difference in opinion does NOT make that person a “nut “
*some do not believe in a Rapture, some believe it comes before the Tribulation, some believe it comes in the middle of the Tribulation. Some believe the Second Coming of Christ IS the Rapture. The early church fathers’ beliefs differed, too.
Saved Jews.
Catholic?
Christians will not be here when God pours his wrath out on the earth. And I believe Christians will not be here when the anti-Christ is identified.
“That’s because neither of you know how to rightly divide the word.”
As evidenced by what scriptural proof?
Surely you aren’t holding yourself up as The Standard?
So, then, cite the biblical standard that evidences our purported error.
Or is it just that we don’t subscribe to your 19th Century eschatology?
Christians have been persecuted since Jesus' time.
The rapture is not a guarantee that one would never be persecuted or face troubles or tribulations.
It's that the Church, the body of all believers who have put their faith in Jesus for salvation, would not have to go though what is known as The Great Tribulation that is described in the book of Revelation. The Great Tribulation is a period of judgment on the unbelieving world and a dealing with the nation of Israel by God.
THAT is the tribulation that Christians are to be raptured from, not generic, everyday persecution for their faith.
It’s not nonsense and nobody is predicting the moment, so stop leveling false accusations.
