    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    The Flood was a peripheral destructive catastrophic event, so will the Great Tribulation be. It's described as being more stressful than at any other time. Why? In the Flood, people were swept away and died quickly. The GT will last longer and involve billions of people. It is both. They are...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    It reviews thousands of commentaries by spirit filled theologians too, likey scanned a million books. But of course it hasn't sifted through Randy Kluth's writings, so I guess it may be challenging for AI to receive a full grasp of knowledge.

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    I didn't create th scripture, " As in the days of Noah ..." which is an obvious parallel of the time before destruction came. As for the 10 nations ( ten horns of the Beast), they are not a revised Roman empire as many think. This Treaty that ISRAEL and many ISLAMIC NATIONS JUST SIGNED will...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    The fact that God is sovereign, He allows evil for a purpose and so restrains evil throughout history and when the time comes releases that power. AI counters your view about the Restrainer not being the Holy Spirit: Scriptures that suggest the Holy Spirit is the restrainer include 2...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Israel will be punished for certain. God actually gathers all nations against her then Jesus comes and destroys those nations. I could list the scriptures supporting this butnyou should be aware of them. While this is going on Romans 11 kicks in and a remnant Jewish population is converted to...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Read the scriptures I just gave you. You seem to want to discard them and create some hypothetical merciful situation. God is a God of forgiveness and mercy but He is also a God of justice and telling you his boundaries. You cross this line ( take the mark of the Beast) and it's over for you...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Just think that "walk about" will do you good ... just stay away from the Never-Never.

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Who are you to question God's judgments that He defines in scripture? If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    No, it just means I smell it first, take a bite, if it tastes good, I chew on it for awhile before swallowing, it allows the enzymes to do their work - you know, it's part of the digestion process. But I chewed on your words long time ago - didn't like the taste so spit them out and told you to...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    I didn't take the vax either. Some think that was the precursor to the mark. They have the chips now. A worldwide mandate will happen, people will get in line, but this time it's not a vaccine, no symptoms, there's no virus to fight off ... just a way to buy, sell and have control over society...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Sometimes as in we are sheep and Jesus is the lamb of God. But Isaiah speaks both of animals in harmony and people, distinguishing them and children living in harmony with animals. Nice try, but no. Hebrews 12 speaks of the Christians entrance into the kingdom of heaven, which is now...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    It is both a spiritual condition of the heart, a rejection of Christ, a submission to the Beast, but also a physical mark. But how would you explain not being able to buybir sell unless you had the mark? Do you think they will have a spiritual detection unit at every cash register? In a...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Didn't really intend for this, but this thread actually dismantled Post-Tribs (and for certain the Amillennials who are totally out of touch); since their views cannot explain or identify with Isaiah 11:6-10 and 65:17-25. This is a big problem for them. If Christains are all resurrected and...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Well, depending on one's viewpoint. Several scriptures confirm that God will keep the faithful church from the hour of trial. 1 Thes. 4:16-17, 1 Cor. 15:52 are not deceptions Who will repopulate the earth? Scripture in Isaiah describe a different earth than you imagine. Since we, with our new...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    I don't swallow anything theological. I am by nature skeptical, question and analyze everything. I became a Christian in 1991, long before AI. This is just a recent advancement in computer technology that is quite fascinating. Of course, we don't need a teacher, we have the Holy Spirit. He...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    I read those books. The Left Behind series was about dozen books. The concept was obviously fictionalized but based on truths within. Tim LaHaye had some imagination creating the hypothetical story of what it may be like after the Church is taken up. Many movies have come out since then so...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Maybe you don't understand the verse? The day of the Lord's return will not come until the Antichrist is revealed. This just means at this time, which could be at the same time. The Restrainer ( Holy Spirit) is taken out of the way, for the Antichrist to have full reign during his short time...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Rev. 21 speaks of a time after the Millennial Kingdom and refers to the SECOND DEATH. ALL who are in Hades, who died already are those described in vs. 8. Once you die, your destiny is fixed. Those in Hades do not have a second chance to repent. But you should know this - unless you are a...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    AI seems to err with my Mid-Trib view, since I do not ascribe to the theory of the 70 weeks of Daniel containing a gap of 2000 years. Gabriel prophesied the correct time frame for Jesus 1ST coming. Man does not nor can alter God's perfect plan. He knows the future, how man will respond and has...
