The “ufo’s” and life forms if they appear, are not aliens, they are definitely devil spirits. Satan is the light bearer, he knows how to manipulate it, so do the fallen angels.
interesting take.
Aliens abducted them
What nations?
“that dead bodies will be raised back to life, and those alive at that moment will be changed into a new body suitable for heaven”
This of course describes the “first resurrection”, which Revelation tells us happens at the time Christ returns visibly to earth at the end of the tribulation. So there won’t be any need to explain anything at that point.
Yes, there won’t be anything “secret” about it at all. The whole world will witness Christ’s return and the accompanying “rapture” of the saints.
Exactly.
Dead nations. Does that answer satisfy you?
Good question..
1,000 years on earth with nations but no Satan.
Like Christ and His Saints reigning on the earth while Satan is locked away.
We know Christ reigns forever, but maybe the bible details a specific 1,000 years, for the purposes of showing that there actually will be inhabitants on the earth during that 1,000 years.
And without Satan to deceive them, Truth will reign.
Then Satan is loosed when those 1,000 years is done.
And Satan’s battle ends quickly at the last..
That 1,000 years, like a day, would be considered the Day of the Lord.
After Satan was allowed 6, or 6,000 years.
The meek will inherit the earth..
Maybe those removed are tares sent to the fire..
And those that remain are the righteous that will shine in the Kingdom..
Mathew 13..
There is hints of a rapture in scripture.
But it isn’t universal.
Only 3 went up the Mount with Christ to see Him Transfigured.
The rest were on the ground fighting, and losing, to a demon in a child, until He returned with His 3, and drove the demon out of the child.
A rapture like that is plausible because of the hints in scripture.
That’s a remnant,though, that saw Him in His Kingdom before they tasted death..
The balance of His Disciples stayed on the ‘ground’ and didn’t ‘ascend the mount’ alive. Those died before seeing Him in His Kingdom.
Sadly, I fear you're right - and there will be a whole lot of "Away from me; I never knew you" when those who think they were living what they thought was a 'Christian' life protest their eternal damnation sentence.
Dead, huh?
Rev. 20 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended.
Since you said, in post #58, "Death keeps one from temptation does it not?", why would Satan need to be kept from deceiving dead nations?
I disagree, everyone will know exactly what happened. He will come as a trumpet and all will hear.
“Never does the Bible call it the SECRET rapture.”
Can I hear you say that again?
That makes a LOT of sense......
NO, YESHUA created the World.
That would be glorious!! But when Jesus walked the earth and healed and performed miracles, people still chose not to believe. They will explain it away as aliens and not The Word in flesh.
Interesting idea. I had not heard that before but it has some appeal to logic.
I do believe that there will be a waterfall moment for mankind, it seems clear we are headed for it.
I believe it will relate to our own capability and we’ll be responsible for it. After the ‘event’ the world will be forever changed.
We are still part of the old world, even with current capabilities, just look around at the wars and corruption - we are pathetic creatures.
Anything written by those in history that may have insight would not be able to comprehend or describe what they’re seeing.
That said, we literally have the tech industry trying to outperform each other respective to creating AI, where they already can’t quite explain the results they’re experiencing. Beasts will emerge - how would one describe that a 1000 years ago?
“how would one describe that a 1000 years ago?”
~~~~~~
or 2000 years ago...
A widespread use of biased A.I. that “believes”, assembles, polishes and
spreads lies, convincingly, sounds like a mass receipt of a “strong delusion’,
does it not?
