No, the only "rapture" in Scripture takes place at the sudden visible, audible, and experiential coming of Christ (2 Thessalonians 2) when He comes "as a thief", meaning "unexpectedly" just as the flood came upon the Antediluvians "unexpectedly" and fire and brimstone fell on Sodom and Gomorrah...

Even a casual reader of Revelation 8 can see that what is depicted therein has NOTHING to do with "assemblies" or whatever else a "trumpet" might represent in the Bible, but that it has EVERYTHING to do with war and conflict, which the Bible full well represents by the symbol "trumpet", as...

Daniel's "sealed" book was opened after the fulfilled heavenly signs heralded the "time of the end" and unfortunately, what was "sweet in the mouth" (the belief in the soon return of Christ) turned "bitter in the belly", when He didn't come, and the disappointment was heavy as many abandoned...

yes, the but context of Revelation 8 is certainly not an "assembly", right? It's filled with the language of conflict

Who says the "third parts" must be literal? Fallen human reasoning? No one can hope to correctly understand Daniel and Revelation unless one first grasps an understanding of the Sanctuary service because both books are well represented with Sanctuary imagery. The prophecies given by Jesus in...

It is a violation of Scriptural directive to interpret prophetic symbols by any means other than the Bible itself - we are forbidden from utilizing headlines, hashtags, popular consensus or any other such extra-Biblical means to interpret prophetic symbols. Proof? "Knowing this first, that no...

Trekson, please remember that the only time the "day for a year" principle is employed is when the prophetic time period is given in an obviously SYMBOLIC manner. God's revelation of the forty days rain was obviously a literal revelation, but Jacob's "week" that he'd fulfill for Rachel was...

The fact that the Catholic "church" has 1.2 billion members should be evidence enough for anyone with even a casual understanding of the Scriptures to flee from it, seeing that Jesus said, "wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and MANY there be that go in thereat."...

It never ceases to amaze me how people can open a symbolic book, read things like "a third part of the trees" and then look around to see whether one third of the earth's trees have been destroyed. Revelation is SYMBOLIC. The "third parts" must be interpreted to mean something other than "one...

Brother, it is PRECISELY due to selfish pride of the nations and the resulting jockeying for position which is the main hindrance for why they can't get their final NWO act together and usher in the most horrific era the world will ever see, and I praise God that by allowing this delay, He...

You make what appears to be an excellent point, but using "evil doesn't hold back evil" as an argument for rejecting Pagan Rome as the Restrainer is subjective reasoning: it implies that the Restrainer must consciously, knowingly, and proactively exercise force in preventing the rise of the "man...

You do realize that the Bible itself actually give us a definition of "great things and blasphemies" which should be used to interpret what kind of words the Antichrist will speak, right? Luke 5:21 KJV and John 10:33 KJV. Why opt for an interpretation of the prophetic symbol of "blasphemy"...

For the record, I never claimed Paul identified the "man of sin" to the Thessalonians during his earlier visit to them. If you re-read what I posted, I said that Paul during his earlier visit to them told the Thessalonians the identity of the "restrainer" (not the "man of sin") because Paul says...

Paul the apostle wrote under inspiration that Abraham was "the father of us all", which even a blind man can see refers to "father" in the biological sense. Therefore, your warning of damnation if we call dear ol' dad "father" is invalidated, just as the instructions of the RCC to call priests...

Don't be obtuse. You know full well that both Jesus and the RCC mean "father" in the "spiritual" sense, and not just the biological sense, which is perfectly acceptable. Either stop calling your priests or your pope "father" in the spiritual sense or stop calling yourself a follower of Christ.

OK, I'm beginning to think that this conversation is a "doubtful disputation" taking away from the ever present priority of spreading the everlasting Gospel of Jesus, so I'll give you the last word after saying for every confiscation, many more get past, that pipe bombs and dirty bombs are kept...

RCC says, "Call them father." Jesus said, "Call no man 'father', you have but one Father, which is in heaven." I think it is clear that both the RCC and Jesus are meant to say "SPIRITUAL FATHER". In other words, the RCC says to refer to priests and the pope as our "SPIRITUAL FATHER", while...

Wormwood, the idea that gun control laws keep guns out of the hands of those who don't obey the law is not seemingly the product of thinking critically, it is seemingly the product of reckless, willful ignorance. Criminals have no regard for laws, especially gun control laws. The evidence -...

Where does the Bible say that only Jews will endure a seven years of tribulation?

I will preface a question with the following, which is not intended to be inflammatory, but simply to establish a precedent: the RCC has a well documented history of deliberately lying to the masses, as in the case of St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre when "heretics" were slaughtered by the tens of...
