    Rapture ... soon?

    I guess you did not read the OP. >>PREMILLENNIAL SAFE ZONE, NO AMILLENNIALS PLEASE! I can't enforce this, but I can choose to not respond. You can spin the wheels of other posters though.

    I am really struggling, with flesh that is puffed up - I don't know how to respond to the law of sin

    The spirit wars against the flesh and vice versa. We all have struggles. Many compromise, give the Lord part of their lives and insist they need other parts - " I'll surrender this and that Lord ... but I need this ... I'm not hurting anyone ... " And they try to justify their sin. Some don't...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Disagree with the 144k being a chosen from the past. Revelation was written about 95AD. Israel was already scattered. The 144k are male virgins. That is not symbolic, that is literal and physical. "These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who...

    Rapture ... soon?

    I wasn't changing the analogy Jesus gave, I said I knew what it meant, then I went onto a second point. I should have started a new paragraph. I know there will be an element of surprise like when an earthquake happens - for them as they go about their normal routine - which is a blind way of...

    Do you believe this statement: "Jesus is YHWH", Yes or No?

    Tell me, what "other faith" do you claim to have? If you could please share that. When people put that in their profile, it usually means they are NOT CHRISTIAN. A Jew? Even the non-trinitarian would put Christian in their profile. Is this thread a clandestine effort to derail Christian...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Not missing any points. I've studied it for years. I'm very well aware of what "as in the days of Noah ..." means. I also know that "as in ALL HISTORY", man has suffered tribulation, pain, suffering and death, so don't think that we will be spared at least part of the Great Tribulation. It is a...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Correct, they meshed all Messianic prophecy together as if there was only one coming. They expected Him to come as a Lion and conquering King the first time around, not a suffering servant who would die.

    Do you believe this statement: "Jesus is YHWH", Yes or No?

    You can't explain, you do not have faith in Jesus. You have faith in something or someone else. All Scripture is spiritually discerned and so if you have not been baptized by Jesus with the Holy Spirit, you do not have discernment, just like blind men who go into a room and try to figure out...

    Rapture ... soon?

    It would seem that if you applied one taken and one left, that 50 percent of the population is taken and 50% destroyed. We cannot use just one scripture to figure this out. Starting with the Seals, the numbers of dead amount to 25 % just from the first four seals. That's two billion ( if we...

    Do you believe this statement: "Jesus is YHWH", Yes or No?

    Exodus 3:14 was God's introduction ( I Am) to Moses and the Israelites that would later be fully revealed in Christ. And Elohim said unto Moshe, Eh-heh-yeh ashair Ehheh- yeh (I AM WHO I AM); and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the Bnei Yisroel, EHHEH-YEH (I AM) hath sent me unto you. I am...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Do you mean Matt.24:14 pertains to the Millennial Kingdom? It answers one part of the question the disciples asked about His Second Coming. Romans 15:8 confirms Jesus came as a servant to the Jews as promised in order that the Gentiles would hear the truth as well. This was about His 1st coming...

    Rapture ... soon?

    The first missionaries arrived in Nepal 400 years ago. Christian groups there estimate the number to be 1 million, possibly more. The gospel has been preached to every nation. Matt. 24:14 "all the nations", not every person, not even every tribe, but likely all tribes have been touched. Even...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    So in 1 Cor. 15:52, when it says we will be changed, ( both dead in Christ and alive in Christ), are you claiming that is not the resurrection? Sorry but that is the resurrection. Harpazo just means the resurrected will be caught up into heaven. Jesus was resurrected and walked out of the tomb...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    There is this ecumenical movement to welcome all religions, respect them as if all roads lead to Rome. False religions are hereticle. However, I wouldn't sonquickly label ( as you often do), Christians as heretics just because they believe in false doctrines yet still have faith in Jesus as...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    I don't see any wheat fields around where I live, but can imagine that some have fewer tares than others depending on how they car for their crops. I likened it to a lawn which everyone can relate to. The weeds can be numerous unless you subdue them, rip them out by the roots. But every year...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Don't imply I haven't read those scriptures, I know what they say and mean. I thought and was mistaken that you implied the two churches were the two witnesses. You went all through the explanation of two candlesticks and went into this long discussion referencing the church as being the two...

    Rapture ... soon?

    The generation and season and pretty close to the days. 1948 generation ( >80 years), the gospel recently has been preached to every nation and tribe, and the days will be dark, the sun and moon will be blocked, likely by smoke from wars or asteroid or vocanic eruption?

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    The Rapture is the resurrection for those who are living or dead in Christ. We are all caught up inti heaven to meet the Lord.

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    And it shall come to pass in all the land,” Says the Lord, “That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, But one-third shall be left in it: Zech. 13:8 We are born with a dead spirit, then when we believe, born again. However, unbelievers remain with a dead spirit. It is not given life. They...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Correct, present day Iran. Iran has already gather a half dozen of the ten nations. And of course Russia has been assisting Iran for decades with their nuclear program which has recently been dismantled. Turkey, Yemen ( already involved), Iraq, Lebanon (Hezbollah), Syria (a new leader who was...
