    Essentially the same yes. But the timing is that Jesus received His kingdom in heaven - when he ascended to heaven in Acts 1. And will bring his kingdom of heaven to be the Kingdom of God here on earth. In the Lord's prayer, we are taught to pray - "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done...

    I hate what they believe. Not their humanity.

    In light of what the bible says, there are consequences to what people believe.

    The world will be saying "peace and safety" because it will have been deceived into thinking it has entered the messianic age. But it will be a false messianic age of the Antichrist as the perceived King of Israel messiah. That illusion will be shattered when the Antichrist in...

    So have Muslims. So what ? They can't defend their beliefs using the bible.

    The kingdom that Jesus would receive is the kingdom of Heaven. When Jesus returns, He will bring the kingdom of Heaven to be the ruling Kingdom of God over the nations.

    I tried to rush the Rapture, and I felt sick (can you do anything apart from God?)

    You have in you the Holy Spirit - the Comforter. Just pray and ask God to strengthen you and comfort you with the Holy Spirit. I pray that God gets you a new job and a better job.

    Matthew, I think you need to review the 7 trumpet plagues and the 7 vials of God's wrath. The earth has not seen the severity of those plagues yet. For example, in Revelation 16:3, the second angel pours out a vial of God's wrath and everything in the sea died. In Matthew 24:15-21, when the...

    Hi ProDeo, Matthew 16:28 was fulfilled in Acts 1, as some of the disciples saw Jesus leave this earth from the mount of Olives, ascending up into a cloud and to heaven. Acts 1: 9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their...

    Paul was speaking about "we Christians" who are alive when the dead in Christ are resurrected. Why do you think that there are pre-trib, mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib views of the rapture held by Christians ?

    Paul spoke about the resurrection/rapture in 1Thessalonians4:15-18. Also in 1Thessalonians5:9-11. There are no verses in the bible that say the resurrection/rapture happened in the life time of the apostles.

    Those things are recorded in the bible as having happened. The resurrection/rapture is not recorded in the bible as having happened.

    Matthew, the resurrection/resurrection of the dead in Christ and the living in Christ has not happened yet. Because Jesus has not returned yet to do so. That's why you cannot find any historical evidence of your claim that it has happened.

    Do you have any historic evidence of a group of Christians being being gathered up by a returning Christ and taken to heaven with him ?

    And who was Christ's bride that Jesus took to heaven ?

    Matthew, I am having a hard time understanding your rationale. If Jesus has returned as you say, then why isn't He here on earth, and not it heaven ?

    Matthew, you believe that Jesus has returned. Where is Jesus right now?

    When Jesus returns, He will rule the nations with a rod of iron. Men will learn war no more. And beat their spears into plowshares. Obviously, that has not been the case of the world for 2000 years and present. Jesus has not yet returned.

    Latter days, Latter years, when Israel is a nation again made up of its people coming out of the nations describes modern day Israel. It is not reasonable to think that tanks, artillery, armored personnel carriers, etc. would have been terms used in the prophecy.
