    The Day of the Lord is at hand for all the nations

    500 study guides, huh? Are there really? And how many are in print? And even more telling, has anyone read them? More importantly: where are they published that we may go read them and be illuminated with your wisdom? You presume much and confuse more; so don't think that another way is...

    The Day of the Lord is at hand for all the nations

    The Day of the Lord is a specific and unique "Day" in prophecy. It comes, as Jesus gives us the keystone passage with the Olivet Discourse, after three other, specific and unique events. The Abomination - this can be tied by Jesus's reference to Daniel to the midpoint abomination of the one...

    The Day of the Lord is not at hand.

    Keras: you're the one who called me an agent for Satan's deception - first. That's pretty doggone derogatory and extremely offensive to me. If you haven't noticed: no two people agree completely about end-time prophecy. So I don't support any fanatical attempt to paint any other Christian...

    1. Jesus warned those who thought they would escape persecution not to look for Him in all the wrong places; the people most susceptible to your scenario are those who hold a "Pre-Trib" eschatology. When they find themselves in the Great Tribulation, they will panic. NONE of the Elect will...

    Another fanatic on a mission not from God. Discourse ceases when ideas are vilified.

    I will not follow the fanatic yelling: "False Teaching!" "Satan's Deception!" as it comes to the idea of Heaven. The concept of another plane of existence, quite apart from this three-dimensional world with its (fourth) linear dimension of time spans cultures and millennia. As Paul said...

    Negative, you misread what I wrote just as you do Isaiah 66:19. 19 I will set a sign among them and will send survivors from them to the nations: Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Tubal and Javan, to the distant coastlands that have neither heard My fame nor seen My glory. And they will declare My...

    It's amazing. It's as if one person is saying 3 out of 5 support something and the other one says, 'no, it's 60% - don't you understand percentages?' The concept of Heaven being "above" is about as good a definition for what the Greek could convey for an idea - but essentially, everyone is...

    Agent of Satan. Thanks for the supreme compliment brother.

    How can the rapture be anything but pre-trib???

    Well with Pre-Wrath, you can legitimately say God's Wrath is going to be dealt upon ALL flesh, because the Church is outta here at that time! But really, the concept of 'all that is applicable' rather than our culture's insistence upon absolutely, air-tight 100% makes more sense since the...

    How can the rapture be anything but pre-trib???

    Pre-Wrath places the Rapture in the one 'seven,' after the midpoint abomination, after the Great Tribulation - on the Day of the Lord - and before the Wrath of God, which also follows, starting on the Day of the Lord and culminating some time later at the end of the one 'seven' at Armageddon...

    How can the rapture be anything but pre-trib???

    In 2Th 2:1-8, it comes after the "one" (whom Paul had taught as a named entity, but of whom we remain uncertain) is 'removed from the midst,' and the anti-Christ is revealed. Then the Day of Christ will come and we (subsequently) will be gathered up. That is the basic sequence of events in the...

    How can the rapture be anything but pre-trib???

    I'm a grown man. Ex-fighter pilot, Captain, father, Sensei, etc. You've still got some growing up to do. You can't cite Scripture saying there is no Rapture and not address the Scripture that says there is and then claim there is no Scripture to back the idea of being caught up into the...

    How can the rapture be anything but pre-trib???

    And you are, as you say in your incessant, aggressive, and hostile posts, "scriptureless." You, who accuse me of false doctrine and following the enemy, have become an enemy to me. You are not acting as a brother, acting in love, but rather are acting in a most un-Christian manner and you then...

    How can the rapture be anything but pre-trib???

    Actually, it is not a "theory," nor, when it is found in so many places in the Bible's Scripture, is it un-Scriptural. Another list of references which may be helpful to your study are to look at the "rapture" verbs. Rapture comes to us from the Latin translation of the Greek gathering, rapio...

    How can the rapture be anything but pre-trib???

    The Rapture is not easily debunked, but many misconstrue it, and many more dismiss it. The Rapture is not a heresy; it is plainly taught albeit only in Paul's earliest letters. It is confusing, and why I think Paul, who was on fire eschatologically in his very first letters (Thessalonians)...

    How can the rapture be anything but pre-trib???

    I think 1st Thessalonians 3:13 is an observer-true picture of one of the Elect seeing Jesus and Angels coming on the clouds with all the resurrected souls who heard and answered that Last Trumpet call from Paradise and then! being lifted up, (the Rapture) they along with the Dead in Christ are...

    Dude, you really need to lay off the hard stuff. Scholars, who are sober, logical and put Bibles out, have reached a consensus: we don't know who wrote the book of Hebrews. Those that insist they know, in my opinion, have crossed that line to fanaticism, and are not practicing moderation in...
