    Which kind of FAITH regarding JESUS do you have?

    Luke 19:11-27 Salvation is a free gift (Pound Talent), What you do with that Gift determines your place in the Kingdom. What you are doing is telling everyone to hide it in a napkin. (verse 20)

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    What it means is that the visions John was shown from the time John Wrote revelation in 90AD involved some events that were past, some present, and future. Revelation to me is seven distinct visions, with different start points some in the Past like the seals and the church ages. No Need to...

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; (Revelation 1:19) Past, present and future.

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    The seals are plagues upon the whole earth that Christians have to deal with. think of the early plagues of Moses in Egypt. The sixth seal is akin to the darkness you can feel, from that moment on, Israel was protected from the plagues, and they had light while the Egyptians did not. So the...

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    I get it primarily from Revelation 5:1-5. When did Christ prevail? After the resurrection, and the ascension when he arrives in heaven. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the...

    All eschatological views are correct?

    Let the Holy Spirit teach you, he will show you the truth. What i say is just another hill of beans if the Holy Spirit is not behind it. True, but he only came once at his first advent fulfilling all three prophecies:cool:.

    All eschatological views are correct?

    There is only One day of Christ, he only comes once. For a time I held to something similar in that i saw the different rapture passages in revelation as three different raptures. Revelation 7, Revelation 10, 11, and the rapture of the two witnesses as the "gleanings" if you will, But then I...

    The Gift of Righteousness

    The following scripture was given me as i read the above: And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the...

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    I thought this was the case as well until i was shown that revelation is a series of overlapping visions not a linear prophecy. You ever see that Guy on PBS painting "happy trees", what is his name Bob ross or something like that. first he begins with broad strokes with a large brush or knife...

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    I Said the first five seals were opened when Christ ascended and have been ongoing since then. This is something I got from a pretribber who believes the sixth seal is the next thing to occur, this is how he deals with Matthew 24:29-31 and he calls the church age the great tribulation. I agree...

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    not at all as there is no statement saying, "immediately after the tribulation of those days" before the parables as to put them in the chronology of the Olivet discourse. The simple chronology of the Olivet discourse is the birth of a child. Birth pangs followed by labor and delivery (Great...

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    By the way @Timtofly the latter would be in line with the olivet discourse which says the end begins with the abomination of desolation (verse 14) as well as 2 Thessalonians 2 which says the falling away and the revealing of the man of sin occur before the rapture.

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    Why are you so afraid of the wrath of the devil, all he can do is kill your body? As for Daniel 9:27, it can be translated both as midst of the week,(KJV, RSV) and for half of the week (ESV, NLT). Either way is right grammatically with the text.

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    No i do not, and if you read my comment above to @stunnedbygrace you will see I believe the fifth seal was opened with the first Martyr Stephen thus the sixth seal is next (I got that from a very pretribber by the way). What i am saying is we will have to deal with the great tribulation as this...

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    Yes, I guess you did miss my point. If this chapter applies to Israel only, as some pretribbers do, then they cannot apply any of the Parables that follow to the rapture of the church, as they so often do (and from which they supprt their doctrine of Immanence). By denying the one they have to...

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    I Actually did notice the comma in there, but could not remember if @Lifelong_sinner had a comma or not, from what I remember he/she is a Calvinist. Reminds me of Jesus' words about one Jot or tittle.

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    It either is or it isn't. If it isn't, then the Olivet discourse itself does not apply to end times and you might as well be a Preterist. This question is the source of all the controversy and various eschatological positions out there. I Believe it is speaking of the rapture therefore my...

    The Pre-Trib Rapture

    It is the fact that Matthew 24:29 says "immediately after the tribulation of those days" we have the sixth seal and the rapture and the tribulation being pointed to is the Great tribulation. for a more in depth explanation of this problem watch the video. There is a time (the sixth trumpet)...
