There you go again.....I’ve made my point...and now you want to give a history lesson on top of your insistence people think and believe as you?????
However to your reference... Rev. 14, “Here is the patience of the saints.” ....Who do you think that verse was addressed to?
My point was the passage,”In your patience possess ye your souls” was from Luke 21, a parallel to Matt. 24 and Mark 13 referring to the tribulation. Lkewise the passage from Rev. 14, “THIS is the patience of the saints.”
The two passages referring to Christians who find themselves in the great tribulation - with no hint from Jesus of them being taken out previously in a pretrib rapture, by the way - needing patience.
The passage in Rev. 14 in effect saying, you know when Jesus said that about patience in Luke 21? well, HERE is the patience he was referring to: “HERE is the patience of the saints.”
I know, I know, you don’t think you will even be in that situation, but you will. (because there is no such thing as two second comings of Christ)
And when you find yourself there just remember what Jesus told you...if you don’t want to lose your soul, have patience.
