Your approach is ridiculous. Not every passage relating to the second coming/rapture/resurrection event contains all the same details.Your post-trib rapture/resurrection timing is incorrect. You have incorrectly interpreted the gathering of the elect in Mark 13:27 and Matthew 24:31 as being the rapture.
But Mark 13:27 and Matthew 24:31 gathering is done by angels - as opposed to the rapture/resurrection event by Jesus's voice to raise the dead in Christ and change the living in Christ.
The elect are Christians, Douggg. You need to read the New Testament. You have failed to join us in the new covenant era and are still living in the distant past of the old covenant era. You have no understanding of scripture whatsoever.Instead of being the rapture, the Mark 13:27 and Matthew 24:31 gathering of the elect will be the fulfillment of the Deuteronomy 30:2-6 and Ezekiel 39:28 gathering of the Jews to Israel, which no Jews will be left in the nations as they gathered to the land of Israel.
Ezekiel 39:21-29 is not about the second coming of Christ. Notice Ezekiel 39:29 talks about God pouring out His Spirit upon the house of Israel.I had asked you...
Who is speaking in Mark 13:27 and Matthew 24:31 ?
Who is speaking in Ezekiel 39:21-29 ?
The answer to both question is Jesus.
Some of them do. It never says they all would. Everyone must choose to believe or not. Only if they were all forced to believe would they ever all believe.In Ezekiel 39:28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
The Jews presently do not believe that Jesus is the LORD their God.
Nonsense. Revelation 12:10 relates to Satan and his angels being cast out of heaven and that happened long ago as I've already shown you many times.That will change in the middle of the seven years of Ezekiel 39:9, that take place right after the Gog/Magog event. And in Revelation 12:10, as the seed of the woman, Israel, the Jews will turn to Jesus and the gospel of salvation.
Are you consistent with your hyperliteral approach to interpreting scripture? If you think those are talking about all Jews then do you believe the following is tlaking about God pouring out His Spirit on literally all people, since that's what it says?So the point of your argument that Deuteronomy 30:2-6 applies to some Jews, and not all Jews, is proven wrong by Ezekiel 39:28. And the fact that Deuteronomy 30:2-6 is yet to be fulfilled, as there are still Jews in the nations all around the world - invalidates the Amil belief of no thousand years of Jesus's rule on this earth following His return.
Condescending remarks and ridicule, and attempts to change the focus - from when Deuteronomy 30:2-6 will be fulled - is not adequate to keep the Amil view afloat.
God has never said HE would gathered up his people via pre-tribulation = TRUTHSeems like you are trying to prove that God has never gathered up his people and delivered them pre-tribulation. And so you're going to have a hard time with that because you got Lot ,and the baby Jesus, both gathered up and delivered pre-tribulation.
Now let's take a look at Noah .
way before the flood ever came Noah was gathered up and delivered FROM THE FLOOD, into the ark.
All the flooding came later.
The ArK was lifted up over a mile into the atmosphere via the flood.
The ark was up in the heavens during the tribulation.
After the tribulation Noah return to Earth from the heavens. That looks a whole lot like a pre-trip Rapture model to me.
I don't know how you can wiggle out of that.

LOL. Complete nonsense. You try to change the focus off of the entire New Testament, none of which supports pre-trib. The NT authors clearly did not have the same understanding of OT scripture that you have.I answered that question before in my post #1424.....
"Jesus's coming for the rapture/resurrection event does not coincide with His return to stand on the Mt. Olives."
And I explained again the timing of the rapture/resurrection event in my post #1427....
Jesus 1st coming was when He entered the world, being born of Mary.
Jesus 2nd coming into the world will be when He returns to stand on the Mt. of Olives in Zechariah 14.
Jesus coming from the third heaven to the vicinity of the earth will be for the rapture/resurrection event. Could happen anytime between now and the day that the Antichrist commits the transgression of desolation in 2Thessalonians2:4.

You are attempting to change the focus - from when Deuteronomy 30:2-6 will be fulled - in an attempt to keep Amil afloat. It will not work.
Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.What third coming to walk upon the face of the earth ?
Jesus 1st coming was when He entered the world, being born of Mary.
Jesus 2nd coming into the world will be when He returns to stand on the Mt. of Olives in Zechariah 14.

SHALOM only in the TRUTH = Thy word is Truth"
You just posted verses that line up perfectly with the pretrib raptureMatthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Do you believe the coming of the Son of man referenced in Matthew 24:27 is the same coming of the Son of man referenced in Matthew 24:30?
1) the Ac kills all refusing the mark
2) those left behind are martyred as us declared in Revelation.
3) the 2 escape verses are a big problem for the honest Bible student
4) "like manner return" is EXACTLY opposite your model .
5) Rev 14 :14 is not the white horse return...even in the most cunning imagination.
6) the one taken/ left behind can not possibly be 50/50 of earth's population. Totally impossible and depicts Jesus as a liar. Jesus said few enter tge kingdom, not half the planet.
7) Rev 19 has the bride becoming the wife IN HEAVEN.
8) THE SAINTS are in heaven (in Rev 19) DURING THE TRIB.
9) REV 14 has the firstfruit JEWS in heaven during the trib.
10) the virgin parable vividly depicts the pretrib rapture with half the church being carnal non committed believers left behind.
11) NONE of the rapture verses are post trib setting!!!! ZERO!!!! EVERY SINGLE RAPTURE VERSE is pretrib, normal life, commerce.
EVERY SINGLE POSTRIB COMPONENT IS MISSING IN EVERY RAPTURE VERSE. 100%!!!!
No pretrib rapture verses ???
You have to be brain dead to believe that.
More twisting of truth and more avoidance. That is all you have, along with your constant insults.You just posted verses that line up perfectly with the pretrib rapture
When you say 'pre-trib' you are no longer submitted to the Holy Spirit of Truth for pre-trib NEVER came out of the Mouth of God
Yes. And while we're at it, we should also bury the entire rapture doctrine. And the tribulation doctrine, the anti-Christ, the one world government, the third temple. It's all nonsense.The Pretrib theory is dead. It is time to give it a decent burial. Anyone who observed the debate on the following thread will know how ludicrous and defunct the Pretrib position is.
The absurdity of Pretrib logic
Pretrib was well and truly put to death in that discussion. All Pretribbers had in response was ad hominem, belittling and avoidance (and in Dougg’s case distorted charts). There is nothing that they could do with clear and repeated Scripture, apart from dismiss it, twist it, or ignore it.
All of the arguments that were furnished in regard to the so-called Pretrib proof-texts were exposed and shown to teach the opposite of what they actually claimed. Many texts that Pretribbers presented made no reference to a rapture, a 7-years trib (or any trib) following a rapture. This was shown to be Left Behind fiction. None of the scriptural texts taught a 3rd coming of Christ. This was shown to be an extra-biblical Pretrib invention.
Now it is time to bury the corpse.
I want to highlight some of the extra-biblical Pretrib slants that were placed on the sacred text, and outline the biblical response, which Pretribulationalists had no response to. Whatever angle you look at the doctrine, it doesn't add up and Scripture does not teach it.
You will see as the thread develops how Pretribbers typically do their best to avoid the sacred text and simply denigrate the poster with their usual evasive and insulting responses. The old adage stands true: if you cannot attack the message, then attack the messenger.
Remember: we are going to look at all the main Pretrib "proof-texts." If Pretribbers are uncomfortable with these, and these do not prove the Pretrib theory (as they do not), then the theory is dead in the water.
I know it is hard to divorce a person's beliefs from the person. But this is not personal. I am not attacking Pretribbers, I am confronting what I believe to be false teaching here.
Daniel 9
Where in Daniel 9 does it mention the Church? Where does it mentioned a rapture? Where does it mention a tribulation period, and where does it mention a 3rd coming? It is simply not there! It has to be forced into the sacred text!
The 10 virgins
Jesus said in Matthew 25:1-13: “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried (the intra-Advent period), they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom; ‘go ye out’ [Gr. exerchomai] to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came [Gr. erchomai]; and they that were ready ‘went in’ [Gr. eiserchomai] with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”
Most end-time commentators correctly relate this passage to the coming of Christ. Whilst we cannot find any mention of phrases like “caught up” or “gathering together” in this text there is broad agreement that there is a definite reference to the catching away or rescue of the saints in the direction “go ye out” and the resulting action – they “went in.”
The command “go ye out” is simply one Greek word exerchomai meaning depart, escape, or get out, go. The phrase describing the response of the faithful “went in” is the single Greek word eiserchomai normally translated in the New Testament as to ‘come in’ or ‘to enter’. It can also be interpreted ‘to arise’. In keeping with many second coming passages there is an allusion to those who escape the judgment of God as being those who made themselves “ready.” This is a common theme found in regard to the catching away. It certainly correlates with the consistent portrayal of this impending climactic event. This passage is basically a call for preparedness for Christ’s coming.
The parable of the virgins actually agrees totally with the climactic nature of the coming of Christ. Men are either caught up or caught on. Being ready means rescue, being locked outside means destruction. Interpreting Scripture with Scripture would assist you here. As in Noah’s day, “the door was shut” – the day of opportunity was final closed – and those left outside were totally destroyed.
The solemn side of this parable is the awful plight of the five foolish virgins who had no oil in their lamps. Like the wicked that were left in Noah’s day, the religious will cry when it is too late: “Lord, Lord, open to us.” The only problem is it is too late. The solemn cry will come from the Master, “Verily I say unto you, I know you not” (vv 11-12). This is exactly what Jesus says to the wicked at the final judgment. He isn't saying: ‘welcome to a 7 year tribulation period’ or ‘welcome to the Premil millennium for another chance’. Sadly, they are damned and doomed for all eternity.
In this parable, Jesus rejects the unprepared virgins. In Pretrib theology it does not have Jesus finally shutting the door (as He taught), but, rather, leaving it ajar. It gives the foolish virgins a second chance to make it, despite them being unprepared and despite them having rejected numerous opportunities before He comes they miss the boat.
This passage is basically a call for preparedness for Christ’s coming. It is nothing to do with percentages. Many parables are like that. It is to do with believers and unbelievers. It is describing those that are ready and those that are not. The enlightened will get the thrust. Whether theologians want to apply this to the visible church or to all mankind makes little difference. That is not worth fighting over. It is the overall trust that Christ is pressing up - be prepared.
Obviously, those left behind are unbelievers! Whether they are religious unbelievers, false professors within the visible church, or out-and-out heathens, is secondary. They simply do not belong to Jesus. They are lost. They miss the boat! Their day of opportunity is gone. All they have now is destruction. They are damned and doomed to a lost eternity.
FALSE - and you already admitted you sit under and i qoute: "some of the best teachers"
We are NOT to seek that which God has not Spoken to us through His SON
We are fast building to that great and last hour of massive tribulation against the saints who would not conform to a lie .Lot came OUT-OF great tribulation and was Delivered from God's Wrath by the Angels = Matthew 24:29-31
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days.....He will send His angels.....and they will gather together His elect"
Lot came OUT-OF great tribulation and was Delivered from God's Wrath by the Angels = Matthew 24:29-31
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days.....He will send His angels.....and they will gather together His elect"
I have seriously bad news . If a mans heart is set on deceptoin , can no man pry that mind off his own deception .Anyone can see normal life , commerce, building, planting = for "THEY" who are doomed for destruction
Anyone can SEE that in scripture - IF, they desire TRUTH
