    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    Apparently you have no military experience. The gathering is staging - preparation for battle. The winepress is metaphoric, but the amount of blood shed is not. You do not comprehend the size of the armies that will gather at that time. The part that will surround Jerusalem will...

    Apostle Paul Showed The Antichrist MUST Come First

    Yes, the key word is "revealed". Revealed as the man of sin. Not revealed as the Antichrist. Before revealing himself as the man of sin, he will be the Antichrist, perceived King of Israel messiah by the Jews. All the talk about Darby, dispensationalism, etc, some posters constantly bring...

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    Tim, the destruction of the kings of the earth armies will be on the last day of the 7 years, the day of Jesus's return. There is no 42 months that follows. What follows is the 1000 year millennium rule of Christ.

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    ewq1938, Armageddon is the gathering location, not the battle location. There will be armies of the kings of the earth destroyed at Armageddon, and all through Israel that day. Think about the size in order for the blood to flow as deep as a horse's bridle for 1600 furlongs, 200 miles.

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    Tim, there will be millions gathered at Armageddon because when they are destroyed - the blood runs as deep as a horse's bridle, 1600 furlongs (200 miles), Revelation 14:20. Revelation 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse...

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    Zechariah 14 and Revelation 19 and Psalms 2 go together. The kings of the earth's armies are not attacking the beast-king who will be occupying the city, nor the false prophet, nor come to destroy the statue image of the beast-king. Their vain attempt to battle will be against Jesus...

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    The beast-king will occupy Jerusalem for those 42 months and during that time persecutes the Jewish population there. Many Jews will be martyred for not worshiping the beast nor his image. The wrath of the Lamb is because of the saints in Revelation 6 the fifth seal martyred during the time...

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    You don't understand what the purpose of the armies of the kings of the earth from all nations coming against Jerusalem. It is not to attack the beast-king, but to be lead by him in their strategy to keep Jesus from executing judgment on them. They take half of the Jews there as hostages...

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    No, I did not miss that verse. It goes with this verse in Zechariah 14. All nations, i.e. the kings of the earth, will bring their armies into Israel, Armageddon. From there, they will move part of their armies down to and take half of Jerusalem as hostages. Jesus will destroy those...

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    You are still not getting it. Jerusalem is the city in Israel which Jesus returns to. Revelation 19:21 Jesus destroys those armies which have surrounded and holding half of the city of Jerusalem as hostages. At the same time that Jesus destroys those armies, the angel with the sickle...

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, I edited my post to be more precise.

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    Peter was talking about many things in 2Peter3. The Day of the Lord begins with this present heaven and earth in tact. The Day of the Lord has no ending, but this present heaven and earth do. No he does not. Daniel 9:24 does not say there will be no more sin after the 70th week is...

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    The present earth upon which we live has dinosaur fossils - an era before the flood. The new heaven and new earth that Peter was speaking about, looking forward to - will not have those dinosaur fossils, because it will be a completely different heaven and earth.

    What triggers the Great Tribulation ?

    I agree that the falling away in 2Thessalonians2:3 is about Christians falling away - falling away from believing that Jesus is the messiah. That will happen during the first part of the 7 years, when the Jews will be thinking the Antichrist is their long awaited messiah - dragging many...

    What triggers the Great Tribulation ?

    Antiochus set up a statue image of Zeus in the temple - which is a fore shadowing of the time of the end abomination of desolation - except that the statue image that Antiochus set up did not have life to it, nor spoke. The false prophet, not the beast-king (the former Antichrist), is the one...

    What triggers the Great Tribulation ?

    The holy place where the abomination of desolation will be "set up", Daniel 12:11-12, will be the temple mount. That is where the beast, the false prophet, and Satan (concealed within the abomination of desolation statue image) will be when Jesus returns.

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    Yes, Deuteronomy 30:1-6 verses 4-6 is the Matthew 24:31 event. It is also in Ezekiel 39:28, Jesus Himself speaking in the text verses 21-29 having returned to this earth, His Second Coming. Ezekiel 39: 28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into...

    What triggers the Great Tribulation ?

    For them in Judaea, the action Jesus said to take when the abomination of desolation is standing in a holy place (the temple mount) is to flee to the mountains. That is not the action given for when tribulation in general comes to Christians. The great tribulation will be a unique...

    False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    No, it is not an angel, nor angels as in Matthew 24:31, who perform the rapture/resurrection. Jesus Himself speaking in John 5:25. John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. In...
