John 1 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2The same was in the beginning with God.

3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

A Man from Europe will greatly strengthen this treaty and make it work.

No where in the Bible does it say Anti Christ or the Beast is going to come from Europe.

In fact, I think this is deceiving. The more that things happen, makes me believe the Anti Christ will be a Muslim.

Some even say a Kenyan!

The scriptures do NOT support anyone being removed before the tribulation. We will be sanctified and protected during that time but when Christ truly returns (trumps, all eyes see Him, etc) He will rapture us and immediately destroy the earth. Read 2 Peter 3...He comes like a thief in the night and the elements melt with a fervent heat, etc

No one lives upon his return; not for 5 minutes, not for 7 years.

My Pastor taught us all three possibles. He says he leans and hopes for pre-tri, but says we better be prepared for them all. Examine everything against the word of God and ask the Holy Spirit to give you discernment. He said more, but that just about sums it up.

Wait a minute. You’re giving a message of salvation before the Rapture—not a good bye to those who don’t make the cut.

I’ve never heard such condescending religious crap before in my 71 years.

How will all the lifeless corpses of those raptured appear any different from the aftermath of a WMD attack of some sort?

that will rise from the ruins of old Rome, probably in Europe therefore. Two, he will be descended from the tribe of Dan

the Roman Empire included all of what is now North Africa as well as what is now Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Jordan, parts of Iraq, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Saudi Arabia.

Secondly, if descended from Dan, does that mean he'll have Jewish blood?

There is no biblical evidence of a “Rapture.”

This is a new concept that was conceived by John Darby in the early 1800’s. Funny how such a “major” happening was never taught to early christians until the early 19th century.

Correct, Frost. This is a perfect example of the folly of coming up with one's own interpretation of scripture. The 1800s was rife with this -- witness J. Smith, Ellen G White, Charles Taize etc.

The rapture is easily understood if a person takes the time to study God's word, rightly divided. The Bible is divided into basically two parts: Prophecy and Mystery. The OT and most of the NT concerns prophetic things for the Nation of Israel, a kingdom of believers, and a Nation of priests to the Gentiles. The entire OT plus all of the NT with the exception of Romans through Philemon.

The Mystery concerns a body of believers. It begins as a Mystery Hid in Scripture (1 Cor. 15:3,4), it continues as a Mystery hid in God (Eph. 3:2,3,5,6,9), and it ends with a mystery (1 Thess. 4:13-18). Romans through Philemon.
