The Coming Rapture

[Spiritual Israelite]

That's far better than any of Doug's charts since it actually reflects the truth. I like it. But, there is one thing missing from it. You don't have Satan's little season notated on there which comes between the end of the thousand years and the second coming/parousia of Christ.

Jesus's second coming is before the thousand years begin. At the end of the thousand years, Satan will be released from the bottomless pit to deceive the nations one last time.

What you are calling "Satan's little season" is the shaded area on this chart.....

...Satan's little season... comes between the end of the thousand years and the second coming/parousia of Christ.

Agreed. No need for all the... complications... <smile> ...that premillennialism, um, "offers." <smile> And it will be very short-lived, so much so that "Satan's little season," Christ's return and final defeat of Satan, and even including the final Judgement, while sequential and in that order, can really be lumped together as the one final great event leading to the New Heaven and New Earth. How much time really elapses from the beginning of that sequence to the end will be... not much at all, even by our standards. All we really know about it is that "Satan's little season" will be shortened for the sake of the elect." But again, all three will be in pretty rapid fire, so to speak.

Grace and peace.

His chart is still far better than yours. It's better not to show it at all than to misrepresent where it should fit on the timeline.

If you chart is accurate, it appears that the attack on Israel is the next major event to happen and those attacking Israel are destroyed.

That ought to be interesting to watch in real time as it happens on the news.

Yes, I agree.

We may be able to figure out who the Antichrist will be before then - maybe. As he will be the leader of a panel of ten EU leaders. He must be Jew.

That's speculation that he will be a Jewish guy.

It's doubtful he will be a Jew because the entire world is going to gladly follow the anti-christ and the muzlims will never follow a Jewish guy

So you better pick some other nationality for the anti-christ.

Many in the world like the muzlims so the anti-christ might just be a muzlim

Hi Dan,

Jesus, the true Christ, was a Jew. The Jews rejected Him to be their king of Israel. In Mark 15:32, the religious leaders mocked him - "Christ the King of Israel".

Mark 15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

The Antichrist will be instead of and against the true Christ - Jesus.

To become the Antichrist, the person must be anointed the king of Israel, thought to be messiah. He will be anointed the king of Israel by the false prophet - who the Jews will initially believe is Elijah.

That action will take place after the Gog/Magog event takes place. The Muslim armies destroyed. And Islam discredited. Many muslims will depart Islam. Some will become Christians.

There may residual groups of Islam still left, that will oppose the Jews building their temple on the temple mount following Gog/Magog. The dome of the Rock and Al-aqsa mosque torn down.

Any uprising by residual groups of Muslims will be put down by the Antichrist - the rider on the white horse in Revelation 6 conquering them. The crown given to him in this verse is that of being anointedt he king of Israel, thought-to-be messiah. The white horse representing that his a messianic figure.

2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

So the person has to be a Jew.

Being the Antichrist - the king of Israel, thought to messiah - is only one stage of the person' development. His next stages will be as the revealed man of sin, and then as the beast-king.

Thank you for sharing your speculation on this matter.

Of course you don't post any Bible verses specifically saying "the anti-christ shall be'eth a Jew" because the Lord never said that in His Word

No way muzlims will follow the anti-christ if he is a Jew.

To do so, they would have to renounce their religion and as you know cult members don't just do that.

Speculate to your heart's content, in the end the anti-christ isn't going to be a Jew.

Time never ends according to scripture.

We are speaking here of time as on earth vs no time is eternity. It appears u are mixing the two.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

That's a proper way to react to what was being said, but my reaction is more like this...


"You get your understanding of Bible prophecy from the news? I'm not listening to this. I'm outta here..."

Recently, there has a been a big departure in Islam to Christianity. Jesus of course was a Jew.

And even in Islam, there is belief about Jesus as being a prophet (but not as the savior from our sins). Muslims acknowledge that Jesus is a Jew.

Uh huh, and they also claim God never had a Son and if He did His Son never died on the Cross.

The islam religion is much more sinister than you know and they will not follow the anti-christ if he's a jew.

Many that study end times stuff claim the anti-christ will be someone from the European Union who will advocate that all religions are legitimate pathways unto salvation which is someone the muzlims would be OK following.

Eternity is literally time forever, not no time.
