Say, has other post-tribs noticed there used to be a great many post-trib videos on youtube, now they have mysteriously vanished. And for the same reason the owners of youtube have been busy scrubbing out videos that disagree with their liberal agenda, no doubt.
Its been a while since I posted to a thread here on FR about the timing of the rapture. What I observe here now is different. Whatever the bitter spirit behind the scrubbing out of post-trib videos, seems to be now on FR.
The pretribs seem to have gotten uptight with all this pandemic going on. They thought they’d be raptured out of here now apparently. (MHGinTN is a prime example of what I am talking about.)
Well, if this pandemic has gotten them in a dither, they haven’t seen nothing yet. The further we move along towards the great tribulation without them being raptured out, the worse they are going to get. More shrill, hateful and threatening.
This pandemic and other events we've seen for years we were warned would come and with those verses was stated ....”but the time is not yet”. Just as others have passed so to will this virus for it doesn't even qualify for the wrath Of God which will occur in the tribulation against the ungodly.
I am looking for the arrival IN THE AIR of my Savior and Lord Who has Promised He will come and gather us unto Himself and return to His Father's House where He has been preparing a place for us. (John 14)
The passage where He pormises to gather us unto Himself is preceeded by the reference to a place He is preparing for us in His Father's House, so what follows that revelation is referring to His gathering us to take us to where He has prepared a place for us. [Paul refers to this gathering to Him in 2 Thess 2:1, remember?] There are seven Earth years spent THERE with HIM, then He brings us along to the touchdown event disclosed as the end event to the Great Tribulation.
Paul told you that it is GOD Who is in the spirit of the believer and John (1 John 3:9) further elaborates that God is abiding in the spirit of the born agains ... abiding, not coming and going, ABIDING.
Jesus referred to the Jews as salt who had lost their 'savor' and thus had reached the fail point of being unuseful as salt against lawlessness. Can you point to any message Jesus gave prior to His resurrection that speaks of The Church? Has He used His Body of Believers to restrain the lawless one for two thousand years? Did you know those in Christ will have their spirits placed in a new body and behavior mechanism when He comes to gather us to Himself for the trip back to the Father's House? Have you been under a mistaken notion that God will redeem your behavior mechanism? [ The Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword, able to separate soul and spirit, and He is abiding in the spirit, not the soul, the behavior mechanism, for He is going to give His a new behavior mechanism not bent toward sinning ] Fundamental to all of this is the fact that God is pure righteousness and expressing His righteousness with His Love toward those who are His and even the lost. But He is coming to gather unto Himself those in Him by the presences of His Life in their born again spirits.
One last point for pondering: when Jesus left the tomb He took the body into another where/when but came to see His disciples in a six sided room without opening a door or window; He just stepped from that 'other' where/when (hinted at strongly by passages such as Daniel, in palace party central, Babylon) into the where/when of the Disciples. On the day of Pentecost His Spirit made then Apostles, no longer just disciples. He is about to perform a similar event when He removes all of His since the Day of Pentecost when Peter preached the Gospel.
THEN, He will leave the scoffing unbelievers the presence of the unrestrained lawless one while He is at The Father's House with us for seven years. There will be a Bema Seat of rewards judging during that seven years at the Father's House. Will you be there, or on Earth experiencing the lawless one's behavior and the wrath of God increasing upon the unbelievers? { And this time I am referring to unbelievers in the Promises of God, the ones who are shocked into awakening to call upon the Lord. This time I am referring to those who did not believe and get born again before Jesus gathered His unto Himself and return to the Father's House. ]
