Dear Eternally Grateful, Being in the group of "many" is not the place to be. Only a "few" of the many are chosen for salvation in this age. Joe

Dear Eternally Grateful, I wrote most of my post a few days ago for another thread. It came from my own personal study of God's Word. I do not have any teachers nor do I attend any churches. As I have been saying, all the churches are apostate and have been since the deaths of the Apostles...

Dear Episkopos, Yes, the "many" in the church who remain apostate until their physical deaths will not experience being spiritually "caught up" (the "higher walk"). Here is where an Elect believer experiences being spiritually caught up: Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those...

Dear Eternally Grateful, I have explained it with scripture. Here it is again with even more scriptural support: Here is the foundational scripture: Num 21:4 Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became very...

Dear Eternally Grateful, No where in scripture is Christ ever symbolized by a serpent. You have no foundation for your understanding. Joe

Dear Eternally Grateful, Moses was the Law Giver who brought in the Old Covenant. That is why Moses lifted up the serpent. Christ lifted himself up and brought in the New Covenant. He replaced the bronze serpent and was never represented by it. You have zero scriptural support for your...

Dear Eternally Grateful, Scripture is not written in Latin plus Paul calls the event the "resurrection of the dead". He never calls the event the "rapture". 1Cor 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: The term "rapture" is...

Dear Eternally Grateful, Paul said to understand the meanings of the "spirit" words of Christ, you must "compare spiritual things with spiritual". 1Cor 2:13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with...

The term rapture is extrabiblical and is usually mixed into the false teachings about end-time prophecy. Since scripture calls it the resurrection of the dead, why would you want to call it something else? Joe

Dear Eternally Grateful, No, the serpent represented Satan and his crooked way of "works" (the Old Covenant). Christ was lifted up in its place to represent His perfect sacrifice and the New Covenant. Show me one verse of scripture that shows that Christ was ever symbolized by a serpent. Joe

Dear Eternally Grateful, In 1Cor chapter 15 and in 1Thes chapter 4, Paul is teaching on the resurrection of the dead. There is no "rapture" of the church. Joe

Dear Eternally Grateful, Are you so blind that you cannot see that "rain" is a symbol for the Holy Spirit? Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young...

Dear Eternally Grateful, A person cannot be converted unless they are judged by Christ. Fire is the symbol for Christ's judgment: Mark 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Christ also said this: Luke 12:49 “I came to send fire on the...

Dear Eternally Grateful, The symbol "serpent" is never used in scripture to represent Christ - not one time. In every instance, it is used to represent Satan and/or his fallen angels. Satan is also called the "crooked serpent". The crooked way that Satan teaches is the way of man's "works"...

Dear Behold, Scripture calls that event the resurrection from the grave. It will only occur after the last Elect person has been converted. As for when that day will occur, there are no scriptures that say. Joe

Dear Behold, There are no verses of scripture which teach a "rapture". It is a completely false teaching. The only event that will occur at the literal end of this age is the resurrection from the grave. All other prophecies are fulfilled within each of the Elect as it applies to their...

Dear Behold, Yes, that is true. But again, you are not understanding when a person changes fathers. They must receive both the Early and Latter Rains. Joe

Dear Behold, I edited my post. It should have been addressed to Eternally Grateful. Joe

Dear Eternally Grateful, Chaff is a symbol for mankind's carnality. It is mankind's carnality that will be destroyed by the fire (judgment), not the person themselves: 1Cor 3:13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the...

Dear Eternally Grateful, You are not understanding the symbolism of Moses' bronze serpent. A person is not "born again" by looking at the bronze serpent. The bronze serpent represents Satan's "crooked way" which is based on man's works (the Old Covenant of Law). That is why a serpent was...
