(Jon-Marc;13067)
I find it very interesting that people who don't believe in a rapture are just as close-minded as they accuse those of us who do in being. It's the same "I'm right and you're wrong" attitude that we are accused of having. "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." 1 Thess. 4:16,17. I believe that is the "rapture", or calling away of the church of Jesus Christ. I can't prove it, but that is what I believe, and I believe that it will usher in the 7 year tribulation. After that 7 years He will return to the earth to set up His 1,000 reign, during which time satan will be bound and cast into a bottomless pit. Of course, you're entitled to believe or disbelieve whatever you want. However, if you feel you have the right to say I'm wrong, then I have the same right to say you are. That works both ways you know. The important thing is that your name (and mine) is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Otherwise, it won't matter what you believe. It seems that many believers are too busy fighting and bickering over who's right about what to bother carrying out the Lord's commission--to go into all the works and preach the gospel. We're so busy fighting over petty matters that have nothing whatsoever to do with our salvation and winning the lost that we forget there is a world out there dying without Christ. I'm pointing at least one finger back ar myself since I'm also guilty of that.
Im only against it because its not in Gods word I didnt choose to be against it. It would make me happy if it was there I dont understand how no one has ever found a pre-rapture scripture in the bible we are told exactly when it will happen God says he is against those that teach it(fly away doctrine) yet you guys keep right on ignoring God word like it wasnt even there blaming those that can read as some sort of group against Pre Trib rapture IT ISNT IN THE BIBLE 1 Corinthians 15:52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be chanLAST TRUMP that means 7th a nd if you rerad the trumps Antichrist comes in the 6ih and 6 comes before 7 just as 2 Thess, says the man of lawlessness comes in th 6th and Christ returns in the 7th Just as God says2 thess. 2:1 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for (that day will not come) until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. (antichrist)4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God. (this is the Abomination of Desolation)Ezekiel 13:20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows,(pillows are demonic fortune-telling schemes)wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly,(away)and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. Does anyone care what God is saying here or are you so convinced man knows better especially when we all agree what bad shape our churches are in. do any of you remember the lessons of the sadducees and the pharisee's? What does God have to say to get anybodys attention here wake up guys, come out of your cofusion These are not MY Words!! Cant you guys see this is part of fast food religion. Oh Revelation is to hard to explain lets just skip it and convince them they will be flying out here. fortune-telling P.S.This translation is from the companion Bible lets look closer I am against your pillows. what are pillow the original hebrew word from the manuscript for pillows is = keceth (keh'·seth ) what does it meana) used by false prophetesses in Israel to support their demonic fortune-telling schemesso What does this Say Wherefore thus saith the Lord God,Behold I am against . your false schemeswherewith ye hunt souls (of people) to make/tell them to fly (fly away)doctrine
