True words.
They want to believe it because it is comfortable to believe it.
God did not create and train an army , ( or give us the armour in Eph 6) ..then change His mind and zap His glorious church out!
He will still be the Head and we the Body...in the Great Day Of His glory. Nor somewhere in the sweet by and by sitting on a fluffy white cloud.
But they like it, so they will keep it. And we will be here to help pick up the bits after their shock that they will be here through the thick and the thin.
ZAP...lol. ZAP is cartoonish like bat-man, and not anything cartoonish about the Lord removing His Chruch from the Wrath being delivered upon the Earth.
If you were to recall, God lifted Noah up above the earth during Gods First destruction of the Earth with Water.
Gen 7
[
17] And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up
above the earth.
The next destruction will be with Fire. A boat would be rather useless....However a CLOUD, ah ha, full of WATER, and once again the tool (boat /cloud) is the temporary safe haven for the SAVED to be.
And those that remain till the end ON EARTH.... same as the earths first destruction...
Gen 6
[
7] And the LORD said, I will
destroy man whom I have created from the
face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Whew...good thing for Noah, he was in a boat, above the face of the earth, eh?
Whew...good thing for me, I will be up in the fluffy white clouds. :)
Curious...Where are you going to be?
Glory to God,
