When the Rapture of the Church finally takes place - in which Almighty God the Son calls out His body (saints and ambassadors) - it (The Rapture) will be a wondrous sign unto the apostate western world more so than a sign unto the whole world. For all had better be prepared, for Almighty God's "Day of Wrath" is now at hand (2 Thess. 2:3-12)!
The official commencement of this horrific seven year period will be the breaking of the 1st seal (i.e., the "Confirming of the Covenant" - Dan. 9:27) by Almighty God’s Lamb (i.e., The Lord Jesus Christ) in Heaven (Rev. 6:1). It is at this precise moment that the man of lawlessness (i.e., the anti-Christ) will be revealed unto the entire world (Dan. 9:27, 2 Thess. 2: 3-12). This revealing of the Anti-Christ and the commencement of this seven year tribulation period will begin when this man (i.e., the Prince which is to come) adds his human position of great power and authority to a covenant against Israel with an abundance of peoples and nations (Ezek. 38:8,11-12, Dan. 9: 27). Israel at this time of the confirming of this covenant will receive the super natural protection of Almighty God’s Two Witnesses (Moses and Elijah) who will also begin their ministry at this time for 1260 days and possess Almighty God's Divine authority. These two Witnesses of Almighty God will be extremely more powerful and than the anti - Christ and his global confederacy against Israel and will be used throughout the first half of this tribulation period by Almighty God to make His RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL Person known to a full blown godless world and unbelieving Israel (Rev. 11:3-6).

>> “Well, you can stay here for the Tribulation if you want to, but GOD promised me that we “are not appointed unto wrath” .. meaning that I will not have to experience the Tribulation.” <<
Gibberish!
The only way to avoid Satan’s tribulation is to have the righteousness of the Philadelphian congregation.
That means joyfully keeping Torah, and constantly confessing and repenting your sins, and confessing Yeshua among men.
Then you will have a place prepared for you in the desert where you will be taken through in safety.
When we are “changed” at the last trump, Yehova’s angels will begin to pour out his wrath on those that worshiped the Man of Sin.

>>‘Hillary gets elected??<<
obozo was already elected. That was step 1.
Think for One’s self,,,Exactly!
Another analogy,,
Two siblings and one is
being cruel to the other.
Daddy walks in,,,
One child immediately is relieved,
The other is about to get his hide Tanned.
Same dynamics with Christ’s return.
None
What events? There is only one: a surrender of the people, especially Americans. There exist no inevitable victory of evil.
Really ..?? I have never read in my Bible (or even heard any preacher say) that I must observe some sort of Jewish ritual in order to escape the Tribulation.
Eze 38-39 will occur prior to the Tribulation. How else could GOD rescue so many at one time; “it’s God’s desire than none should perish”. I don’t think Ezekiel was speaking “gibberish” when he wrote it.
The destruction of the enemies of GOD, opens the door for humanity to be able to reach out to GOD. This event is the beginning of the final harvest, prior to the return of Christ. Imagine the sight of all those armies being dispatched and vaporized by GOD.
By the way; you’re free to believe whatever you choose. But, don’t call what I say “gibberish”, just because you don’t agree. Nobody’s forcing you to believe what I say. You get to choose ..!! I do believe that some will still reject HIM; even though GOD and HIS people do their best to lead them to HIM.
.
Torah is not Jewish, nor is it a ritual.
It is the path to righteousness that Yehova gave us out of his love.
Matthew ch 5 is not there to be ignored. Neither is Matthew ch 7:21 et seq.
.
“The only way to avoid Satan’s tribulation is to have the righteousness of the Philadelphian congregation.” ???
Sorry, all I need is Christ’s “righteousness” .. because that was what HE GAVE, and what I received when I first gave my heart to HIM. When the “Rapture” occurs, those in Christ will no longer be on the EARTH”; we’ll be with Christ.
No ritual can change that.

>> “Imagine the sight of all those armies being dispatched and vaporized by GOD.” <<
All of Yehova’s elect will already have been gathered to the wedding feast by then.
“For all had better be prepared, for Almighty God’s ‘Day of Wrath’ is now at hand (2 Thess. 2:3-12)! The official commencement of this horrific seven year period will be the breaking of the 1st seal (i.e., the “Confirming of the Covenant” - Dan. 9:27) by Almighty God’s Lamb (i.e., The Lord Jesus Christ) in Heaven (Rev. 6:1).”
A careful study of the “Day of Wrath” and “Day of the Lord” will lead to the inescapable conclusion that this period of time is the latter part of Daniel’s seventieth week, and follows the Great Tribulation and signs in the sun, moon, and stars.
The sun being turned dark and the moon blood red, marks the end of the Great Tribulation and the onset of the Day of the Lord.
Matthew 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Joel 2:31
The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
But I agree. Be ready. We can meet the Lord unexpectedly whether individually or collectively.
Well, you are entitled to believe whatever you want.
I’ve read the Bible quite a bit; but must admit there is a
lot I do not understand. Anyway, I’ve had a real bit of
wondering what it will be like to be swooped up into the
clouds in the Rapture. - I just hope in a way that I just
wake up somewhere else (Paradise or Heaven) some morning
with a new body. This one is getting a bit worn. - Half the
world WILL be snoozing when it happens; and that might be
us.
Not to start a FReeper riot on a Sunday with a pre-trib / post-trib (or preterite, or amillenialist), war but methinks you might want to read some Revelation / End Times / Prophecy commentary by folks other than Hal Lindsey or Tim LaHaye.
Others argue that the return of Christ will not be to evacuate his troops (like some spiritual Dunkirk), but will return to lead them to victory.
There is no *Path* to righteousness.
All our righteousness is as filthy rags in His sight.
We can never become righteous enough to attain eternal life. God told Adam that in the day he ate, he would die, thus sin entered the world and we have all sinned.
The penalty for sin is death. Even if all you ever sinned in your entire life was ONE sin, you'd still be damned.
There's no way for us to ever earn our way. If righteousness could come through the Law, Christ died for nothing.
Do you believe that the Messiah came in the flesh and died for our sins to satisfy the penalty of sin that God laid on us and that through faith in Him you are forgiven, which is the ONLY way to have that sin debt wiped clean?
How do you expect to become righteous enough for God when even the very nature of your being is corrupted by sin and not a motive of the human heart can ever be pure enough for God?
Remember, His requirements are absolute perfection, not just to the best of your ability and He'll take care of the rest.
Be ye holy as God is holy.
That sets the bar pretty high. Way above anything any man can attain.
And your insistence to adhering to the letter of the law is laughable. The Matthew passages you refer to actually set the bar higher and deal with the issues of the heart, not just the outward observance of the law which you advocate, putting it way beyond the reach of anything man can attain, so that no man can boast. God is not beholden to anyone, no matter how well they think they, or seem to, perform.
The gospel is easily understood if simply read,Why should the “End Times” be the only part of scripture to be All Mystery,Codes and Deciphering?
There is nothing in any of those chapters that justify your Judaizing or strange, Hebrew Roots cultism. The scripture is quite clear that we are not under Jewish law, this having been explicitly rejected in Acts 15:
Act_15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
And incase you say something stupid like, "They meant tradition or some other law, not Old Testament law!":
Act 15:5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. Large elements of the "Law of Moses" are also rejected throughout the New Testament, such as circumcision, dietary requirements, and the observance of new moons and sabbaths, and anywhere Paul says something like: "You are not under the law, but under grace."
Most of the events revealed in Revelation would have been difficult to imagine only 10 or 15 years ago. Now, with global communications satellites, the Internet, almost everyone having a cell phone, RFID chips, etc. it all seems like it could start tomorrow.
Matthew 7:21 is an indictment of people who come to the judgement seat depending on their works to justify them .. clear evidence that they never knew Christ .. nor He them.
Regardless of whatever trib. . .the facts are the facts. No one is guaranteed a next breath. Everyone should be ready to meet Jesus! http://www.patburt.com
