    What and when is the rapture Part 2

    Hi Marty fox, You seem to place the Body of Christ as the centre of God`s purposes instead of the Lord. God has purposes for - the Body of Christ, for Israel and for the nations. Get those muddled up and you then try and fit everything around US and what happens to US. Marilyn.

    What and when is the rapture Part 2

    Hi GISMYS, I agree that we, the Body of Christ are in heaven during the trib. However, a closer look at Jude reveals that the word is `holy ones.` And they can be saints but also angels. So, we need more scriptures to show which. Let`s see who Jesus says comes with Him. `they will see the Son...

    Hi Randy, I just want to draw your attention to this detail - `us.` That being the Body of Christ. You see that detail was not in the criteria God gave Daniel. That prophecy concerned - Israel and their Holy city, NOT US. However you gave room for the Lord`s sacrifice to be outworked in `US`...

    Why I'm Premil

    I see what you are saying however Peter is not saying that. He is saying that in the Day of the Lord, (time period) the heavens and earth will melt etc. That fire is reserved until the day of judgement. You will need many more scriptures to back up your view of it all happening when the Lord...

    Why I'm Premil

    You are assuming that the `last days ` just lead up to Christ`s return, whereas Peter tells us that it includes everything from the Day of the Lord coming as a thief right through the trib, the millennium and on to the new heavens and new earth. Note: `in which the heavens will pass away...etc`...
