    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Except that's not the way it's going to happen, though. You are not factoring everything in that needs to be factored in. 1 Corinthians 15:28 is key. Christ obviously sets foot back on this earth before 1 Corinthians 15:28 is even fulfilled and Luke 19:27, for one, proves it. That verse is...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe no one is actually literally asking questions like that? IOW, maybe it's to be understood like the following, for example. Genesis 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    What are you hoping to prove by these 3 questions? Don't Pretribbers think after everyone having met Jesus in the air, Jesus then does a u-turn and returns back to heaven? No matter which scenario you choose, whether Pretrib or Post trib, it involves a u-turn. If those who are alive and caught...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    What I tend to think about the trumpets is that the 2Ws are maybe behind why those things are happening at the time. Note what the following says.. Revelation 11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    One issue I see with this, not that there is only one issue, I don't see it making sense that that time period could be in view. He was only gone a cpl of days. But before He leaves, He says this to His servants, meaning the following. Luke 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Why can't the dead in Christ explain them? After all, great tribulation precedes what is recorded in Revelation 19. Then look what the following records. Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    While Im thinking about it since you are known to apply a lot of things to the first century that a lot of us apply to the end of this age and the second coming, what time period do you take it be involving in the parable once the nobleman has returned?

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    There is nothing for me to take the wrong way. I do not agree with some of these Amils to begin with, that we should take 2 Peter 3:10-12 in the literal sense where the planet is literally engulfed in flames. Some of them argue that since Noah's flood is mentioned in that chapter, and that that...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    I wouldn't be so sure about that if I were you. Those currently occupying that region fit to a T someone God would still be hiding His face from. It is not until He executes His judgment on Gog and his multitude that He is then no longer hiding His face from them. Obviously, He is yet to execute...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    Here's something to ponder if some of these Amils are correct that the entire planet is literally engulfed in flames once Christ returns. There won't be any animals to sacrifice. The entire animal kingdom will have been burned up, as in no more animals, period. I wonder why some of these Amils...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    In your opinion then, the missing details pertaining to those coming out of their graves after Christ's resurrection aren't missing after all, they are found in Ezekiel 37? If so, I find that interesting though I don't interpret it like that myself. As to me, the way I interpret that chapter...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    Some doesn't mean all, therefore, only some Amils believe that, not all Amils do. I have heard numerous Amils reject that literal interpretation over the years. Granted, some of them are Preterists, not full Preterists though, at least not as far as I could tell. And that they claimed to be Amil...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    What is your view of the first 6 seals in relation to trumpet 1 and the other 6 trumpets that follow that? Do you think all 6 seals are fulfilled first followed by the fulfilling of the trumpets? If you were to place the first 6 trumpets in Matthew 24 somewhere, where would you place them...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Thinking out loud here. Let's just reason things the way Preterists reasons things, that 'great tribulation' is already in the past, it happened in the first century involving 70 AD. Therefore, Pretribbers have nothing to fear to begin with, right? Or let's just reason things the way both...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Unfortunately, me being juvenile and cheap according to you, which may even be true in this case, is the least of your worries once great tribulation is upon us big time and that all of you Pretribbers are still here. Apparently, that is the only thing that is going to convince you that you have...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    It's called 'not once saved always saved'. That's one thing verse 49 pertains to, not what you take it to be involving. It isn't even remotely meaning His resurrection. From what I can tell, unless I overlooked something, there appears to be nothing in all of the Discourse from start to finish...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    Yet, Jesus is rewarding some with authority over things when He returns. For what reason if things should be understood as you laid them out here? He is giving them authority over what? Let's not forget what 'authority' means in general. Having authority over something demands that there has to...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    At the time of them having said that I wholeheartedly agree Luke 17:20-21 would be applicable. Yet, there is a huge difference between the here and now and when Christ returns, and that the main focus of that parable is when He returns. You are not going to suggest that once He returns, Luke...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    The problem with your interpretation is this. Let's assume for a moment that the one's entrusted with the pounds, that that is who the nobleman is meaning. Unless you haven't noticed, not all of them did what the wicked servant did. Assuming the nobleman is meaning one of these servants, though...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Let's look at these 2 for a moment. Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand: ) Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe...
