Good stuff and pretty much right on. Good job. Many are confused about these things. Good to give God’s Word clearly to bring comfort to the saints.
The Rapture can come tomorrow at 9:30 PDT or it can come on the afternoon of March 3, AD 99,000,339. The Bible doesn’t say when it will come and tells us not to speculate about that.
Learning to keep my eyes open more.
Here’s a little different look at the summary...
The Rapture
• Begins the Tribulation Period (Daniel’s 70th Week) followed by the reign of the Antichrist, God judging and punishing the world using Satan to do so.
• Jesus comes for the Church in the air and takes the Church to heaven
• Jesus will remove peace from the earth
• Approaches secretly like a thief in the night
• The Church and the Holy Spirit will be removed from the earth
• Launches the Marriage Supper of the Lamb
• The day or the hour is unknown to all except the Father (but saints should know the times and the seasons). The times of the Gentiles are not precisely counted.
• Jesus rescues His Church before the Wrath of the Lamb.
The Second Coming
• Ends the Tribulation Period (Daniel’s 70th Week) followed by the reign of the Christ, God binding Satan with chains.
• Jesus comes with the Church down to the earth, touches down on the Mt. of Olives, and it splits in two
• Jesus will establish peace on earth
• Approaches openly and every eye will see Jesus
• The lost will have been removed from the earth
• Ends the Marriage Supper of the Lamb
• The day and the hour is known. The times of God’s People, Israel, are precisely counted (Daniel 9:24-27).
• Jesus rescues Israel after the Wrath of the Lamb.
As previously posted, here is where I think we are in God’s timetable and Biblical Prophecy.
Well, we are between Daniel’s 69th Week (the death of Christ) and 70th Week (the coming Tribulation) and we are in the intervening 2000 years for the Time of the Gentiles which all signs show is quickly coming to an end. We are definitely in the End Times but not yet in the Seven-Year Wrath of the Lamb (the church will never been here for that (1 Thess. 5:9)).
However, notice that Scripture says, “In the last days I will pour out of my Spirit upon ALL flesh” (Joel 2:28). Now we know that, the Holy Spirit will be absent for the earth during the horrific seven -year tribulation (Daniel’s 70th week - even though during that time miraculously “all of Israel will be miraculously saved” (Rom 11:26)).
So when will God pour out his spirit on ALL flesh? NOW, before the Rapture, before the Tribulation. That’s another reason why I think we’re at the threshold of Luke 14:22-23, the last worldwide incoming of souls who will be spared from the unimaginable horror of what’s coming.
Very encouraging report. That Hope is drawing near.
Two things I would add for further understanding is the Dispensations and the clarification to who is the author of each message speaking to.
As many are already aware, but for those who are not I present the following...
Since the Day of Pentecost we have been living in the church age dispensation. That Dispensation is about to close as the focus will then be on the Jews. We are living in a time when the two Dispensations are overlapping. At the close of the Church Age (in my belief) we, the Church, will be raptured. And at the beginning of the Seventieth Week of Daniel, it will begin with the rise of the antichrist as well as the signing of a false peace covenent with Israel.
Also, it is incumbant that we understand the message of Grace was revealed to Paul to give to the Church. He was chosen as the Apostle unto the Gentiles.
Whereas the OT as well as the Gospels were given to the Jews. As well they give us, the Gentiles, understanding.
