Yes, you have well-pointed out the remarkable things that will occur in the Tribulation and lead into the Great Tribulation.
The only thing I would say, if I’m reading you correctly, is that the Man of Sin, the Son of Perdition (II) is not the False Prophet - they are two distinct beings and each are captured and thrown into the Lake of Fire together, at the Second Coming (Revelation 19:20).
‘Included in this imagery are CLOUDS and cosmic disturbances.’
Manay things form clouds, even modern technology.
If God wanted to, He could reveal an image of Himself in light prisms rising from clouds that atheists would call a ‘coincidence’.
I believe that most Signs can be explained via physics even though God planned them out that way long ago.
[”No man knoweth the day or the hour,” was the reply because everything had to be in its proper place for her to come.]
Interesting research.
I noticed an Old Testament verse that mentioned that the whole earth was starving and Egypt fed the whole earth. I personally have no problem with it since I assume that was the ancient assumption — so far as men knew it was the whole earth.
But as for the whole earth being flooded, I believe it was in reference to an entire civilization rather than the entire planet. In fact, it might somehow dovetail with Atlantis which ‘sank’ into the sea.
We see professing believers who have always opposed the pre-trib rapture joining with others to mock, scorn, and insult. Watch this clip about 42 minutes in for my reason as to why that group of disinterested Christians will be excluded from the Rapture and enter the Tribulation.

Many signs and wonders can be fulfilled through technology alone.
No, I don’t think the 23rd will be the Rapture, but I do think it’s amazing how things are falling in place, such as 200 thousand thousand serpents / crossing the dried up Euprhates [which is not dry currently] / how the serpents and their weapons sound a like modern weaponry.
If God wants me to miss out on the Tribulation, then I will have one amazing life! I will see it unfold with these mortal eyes, and I can help point out the Truth to others until the Devil can’t stand me anymore.

This makes no sense.
If I miss out on the rapture, I will explain it all to other people as much as I can.
The point that is made is about the ten foolish virgins. They all had lamps and oil at the beginning. They were all believers. They all went to sleep — traditional doctrine.
5 of the Virgins got more oil — recent info on feast days, Rev 12 sign based on software recently made available. The 5 are expectant and desirous of the Coming of the LJC. The 5 are occupied with the things of the Lord. The Lord excludes the apathetic 5 and those go thru the Tribulation.
Yep, as I said earlier...
as prophesied.
Thanks for that add’l reference which I should have remembered - I was thinking of another but that one is absolutely spot-on. I used to remember it first so the reminder is well-appreciated.
Yes. This writer has conflated the Rapture and the Return.
But the Return is at the start of the 1,000 years, not the end, as you said.
Yeah I noticed that error.
Conservative eschatology? I’ve read a lot on eschatology, but I have not seen that term before. Can you explain exactly what you mean by “Conservative eschatology”?
We are not saved by works nor are we kept by works.
The ten virgins are coming to the wedding feast of Christ and His bride, who is already in heaven.
His bride is the church. The ten virgins are not the church.
Not sure they will be excluded, Eli. Depends on what is in their heart. If it’s something acceptable, except that they are unsure about the time of the Rapture, I think they will be accepted. But if there is mocking, scorning, and insulting, that would show that those people are not ready.
They could just be working hard to support their families, or whatever, and not watching as many YouTube videos as you and I.
I like Farag’s ABC: Admit that you are a sinner, Believe that Jesus was resurrected from the dead, and Confess it with your mouth. I think it’s a lot simpler than whether or not you believe in the 23rd as a date, which takes a lot of homework. It’s just a simple belief and profession of faith that all solid Christians have made to God.
Jesus is driving a Uber in Cleveland. I saw him.
Are you sure that wasn’t hay zeus?
I absolutely understand all the Feast Days and how they were either accomplished by Christ at His first advent or will in the second one. HOWEVER, He absolutely makes it CLEAR that NO MAN knows the day. No one. So, I take that that it will as He said, “He will come as a thief in the night.” Which to mean means that He will come when no one is ready for Him to come. We are to recognize the signs of the times, because that is what He bashed the Pharisees for, for not recognizing His first coming. But, BECAUSE “MEN” are making such a big thing about the 23d, that makes me fully believe that He will not come that day. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind it at all because I look for Him daily, as the Harpazo is an eminent event. No one knows. I believe we are in the season of His return. I also believe it is near. A month, year, years away, but I believe it is near. I also believe the Antichrist is alive on this planet today. Maybe not a mature grown man, but alive. Is he 5, 15, 20 years old or older or what, I do not know. I just believe with all that is going on, the signs of the times, the Middle East, Israel, Iran, etc., I just believe it is near. I just hope I am alive to live it. But, if not, I am in the first group to go up!!!!!!
