For the pretender (s):
10. "Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.11. "And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.12. "Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.13. "But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.'' Daniel 12:10-13
So which resurrection is this and when will it happen as Daniel was obviously not a part of the "New Testament" church?
3. Then the king instructed Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, to bring some of the children of Israel and some of the king's descendants and some of the nobles, 4. young men in whom there was no blemish, but good-looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and quick to understand, who had ability to serve in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the language and literature of the Chaldeans.5. And the king appointed for them a daily provision of the king's delicacies and of the wine which he drank, and three years of training for them, so that at the end of that time they might serve before the king.6. Now from among those of the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.7. To them the chief of the eunuchs gave names: he gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abed-Nego. Daniel 1:3-7
Now, this requires some actual thought, but why is the king directing the master of his eunuchs to bring young men, including Daniel and his 3 friends. Why not the captain of the guard or some other official that might be responsible for them? Why was it the chief of the eunuchs that gave Daniel and his friends their Babylonian names, rather than a magician, or other member of his court? Think real hard now.
Why is there nothing at all said about any wife of Daniel or of his 3 friends (did God forget them because they were unimportant?)
I count 4 virgin servants of the Lord right there, but oh yes, they're not part of the New Testament Church. But of course, Jewish saints don't count, their church obviously doesn't count as millions of "Christians" believe that the Roman church pre-existed the church in Jerusalem (some kind of time warp thing) that's why God will take the rest of the church away and leave them here. What complete hogwash and what a racist doctrine!
Good luck with your rapture though, I hope everything goes well for those who offend.
41. "The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42. "and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43. "Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! Matthew 13:41-43
Well there's a good reason not to be raptured, unless your looking to be cast into the furnace of fire. Never mind, maybe Jesus was just confused or something.
If the tone of my post strikes you as annoyed, you'd be right. I'm 60 years old and a little tired of dealing with the generation of God's wrath.
