The third heaven is the Fathers House, which Jesus ascended to, to prepare a place for us. It never passes away. There are many dwelling places in the Fathers House and we just have to wait and see what form this takes for us. Jn 14 2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were...

:I know:

John is addressing the born of God believers in Christ. 3 See what an incredible quality of love the Father has shown to us, that we would [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are! For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know...

The time for natural Israel to be saved is today. God has been calling all people everywhere to repent since Jesus. Act 17 30 Therefore God overlooked and disregarded the former ages of ignorance; but now He commands all people everywhere to repent [that is, to change their old way of thinking...

Why do you say that?

Truth in general. These people are already perishing (sinners) and reject Gospel truth that WOULD HAVE saved them. 2Thess 2 10 and by unlimited seduction to evil and with all the deception of wickedness for those who are perishing, because they did not welcome the love of the truth [of the...

jeffweeder said The souls of those who died come with him. [/B] The context of the chapter suggests they are the dead in Christ. Seriously? Right hand of the Father Right hand of the Father Planet earth End of the present age as we now know it. The last day, the fixed day of...

Exactly what 2 Thess 1 describes in Paul's more comprehensive 2nd letter to them. We are not in darkness and that day will not overtake us. That means we are ready and present when that day does come. Plenty of corroboration for that idea . Glorified on the day the Lord comes to eternally...

Finding True repentance.

The souls of those who died come with him. They are then raised bodily and glorified along with those alive. We are caught up together to meet the Lord. Good. But it is the last judgment that is in view here. Paul places himself as being glorified along with all who have believed at the Lords...

Why? The passage speaks of God's righteous judgment. The Lord is coming to repay those who persecute the Church and also at the same time to bring relief and glory to those who are faithful. Paul includes himself in this climactic future event. 5 This is a positive proof of the righteous...

Stop nitpicking. I was trying to make a point to GB. Any idea what that was? Why do you think the sun or moon stops giving it light from the text? At least I provided a theory using the text by saying the Lord comes in the power, glory and splendor of his Father. Didn't say it would be a super...

The disciples understood better on the day of Pentecost, It was more than political. Act like which Jews? 13 The rest of the Jews joined him in this hypocrisy [ignoring their knowledge that Jewish and Gentile Christians were united, under the new covenant, into one faith], with the result that...

Saying as lightening from one end of heaven to the other, sounds much more like power and great glory of the Father than seeing a star. 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not provide its light, and the stars will fall from the sky...

The second coming comes upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. This is a one-off lightning strike...think super nova. Very fitting as the Lord comes in great power and the Glory of his Father. What do you expect that to look like? LK 21 34 “But be on guard, so that your hearts are...
