Nearly all the NT teachings on the pathway to salvation include a time of falling away prior to an Elect person's conversion. The time that every Elect person spends as a "man of sin" is called a time of "great tribulation" and it occurs during Elijah's 3 1/2 years of drought. This time of drought occurs between the times a person receives the Early and Latter Rains.
Where did you learn such nonsense, or are you making it up yourself?! These are the only occurrences of the phrase "great tribulation" in the KJV:
Matthew 24:21
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Revelation 2:22
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Revelation 7:14
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
The only place that the phrase "man of sin" is mentioned is 2 Thessalonians 2:3 KJV:
(3) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Thee is no mention of being sinful is called a time of "great tribulation", and how on earth can every elect person spend time back in history during the time of Elijah? That is absurd! You sound like a mad man!
When the Latter Rain eventually falls on an Elect babe, they will have their spiritual blindness healed so that they can see the Abomination of Desolation that previously occurred within themselves (Mat 24:15).
More nonsense, and totally misunderstanding and inappropriate reference to the abomination of desolation!
This truth is confirmed by many scriptures. Here is one of them:
1Sam 12:17 Is it not wheat harvest to day? (day of salvation/conversion) I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and RAIN (Latter Rain); that ye may perceive and see (spiritual blindness healed) that your wickedness is great (have become apostate/a man of sin), which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.
Again an inapproriate and irrelevant reference! The people of Israel asked for a king to rule over them, rejecting God as their king. Samuel warns them that their future depends on their obedience to God and His commandments, and not rebelling against God (as they have just done), and he confirms, or emphasises, that their rejection of God as their king was greatly wicked, by calling on God to perform a miraculous sign - making it rain during harvest time, when normally it never rains. This is not the normal latter rain. The Cambridge Bible Notes says:
he shall send thunder and rain] “In ordinary seasons from the cessation of the showers in spring [about the end of April] until their commencement in October or November, rain never falls, and the sky is usually serene.” Robinson, Bibl. Res. I. 430. Wheat harvest was in May and June. See note on 1Sa_6:13. “Rain in harvest” served as a figure for what was unseemly and anomalous (Pro_26:1).
As for your comments on Christ's "another language", Christ spoke His teachings to the Jews in Hebrew and not some other nation's language.
What? My comments were on Isaiah 28:11 - it has nothing to do with what language Jesus spoke! BTW, Jesus spoke in Aramaic. Aramaic was the common language spoken by the majority of people in Roman Judea, including those in Galilee where Jesus grew up. For example:
Mark 5:41 WEB:
(41) Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!” which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!”
Mark 7:34 WEB
(34) Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
Barnes's Notes on Mark 5:41 says:
Talitha cumi] = “Little Maid, arise.” Doubtless St Peter, who was now present, often recalled the actual words used on this memorable occasion by our Lord, and told them to his friend and kinsman St Mark. So it is the same Evangelist, who preserves the very word, which our Lord used, when He opened the ears of the deaf man, Ephphatha (Mrk_7:34). The mention of these words goes to prove that in ordinary life our Lord availed Himself of the popular Aramaic dialect.
But since Christ's words were "spirit", they carried meanings that were different than how man's wisdom defines them. This usage of spirit words made Christ's Hebrew into "another language" - a language that mankind (including babes) cannot understand. Only converted believers who have the Spirit of Truth are given the ability to understand Christ's spiritual language. This truth is taught by Paul's conversion when the scales fell from his eyes. This healing only occurs when a person receives the Latter Rain (the baptism). This truth is also taught in Mark 8:15-25.
More rubbish! And Paul had his sight restored and
afterwards he was baptized. Concerning the passage in Mark, you've obviously not understod the symbolism, or analogy, of the yeast (leaven). It's explained in the Matthew version:
Matthew 16:6-12 WEB
(6) Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
(7) They reasoned among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.”
(8) Jesus, perceiving it, said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, ‘because you have brought no bread?’
(9) Don’t you yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
(10) Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
(11) How is it that you don’t perceive that I didn’t speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
(12) Then they understood that he didn’t tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Luke 12:1 WEB
(1) Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
The passage doen't support your claim!
