If you want to use what someone else wrote, then quote it with your understanding. Trying to just use someone else's words in place of your own doesn't garner must respect simply because it shows it's not you communicating.

"David possessed humans"??? The statue is called the dragon??? You don't read Scripture very well. There's no such thing as "David possessed humans". That's sounds like a doctrine of occultists! The "dragon" per Rev.12:9 is simply another title for Satan himself... Rev 12:9 9 And the great...

If you can't explain it yourself from Holy Writ, then it means you don't really understand it.

That may be what you've been wrongly taught to think, but it's not what the Matt.24 and Mark 13 chapters show. I find that many brethren don't really understand just what Paul taught in 1 Thessalonians 4. And no, we don't need to go to John 14 to find this out, but stay with 1 Thess.4 and both...

The day of God's consuming fire is going to be an event that will destroy man's works off this earth, but will not destroy His creation. You're thinking His Fire is the material fire of this earthly world. Heb 12:25-29 25 See that ye refuse not Him That speaketh. For if they escaped not who...

Trying to disconnect the events of the "day of the Lord" from the "as a thief in the night" metaphor is Bible butchery done by charlatans. And that's who the creators of the pre-trib rapture theories are, charlatans.

Which basically is what I showed in contrast between the sole word rapture, compared with the idea of a 'pre-trib rapture'. The Biblical timing of the Church gathering to Christ is a post-tribulational rapture, or gathering, not a pre-trib one. The word 'rapture' is not... in God's Word. That...

The meaning of "tribulation" in John 16:33 is an admonishing Jesus gave to the Church about the last days in general. True it is not the event of "great tribulation" He forewarned of in His Olivet discourse. But that still does not change the events and signs of the end He gave us, including the...

The locust army of Rev.9 is the same locust army of the Book of Joel. In Joel 1:6, God uses the metaphor of the teeth of lion for that nation coming upon His land. Joel 2 gives more symbolic analogies related to Rev.9, showing them as horsemen and chariots, in battle array. God even calls them...

There is a difference between the term 'Rapture' and a 'Pre-trib Rapture' (which I'm pretty sure you well know). 'Rapture' = English word that originates from the Latin translation of Greek harpazo, which is rendered as "caught up" in the KJV in 1 Thessalonians 4. The word rapture by itself...

It's really easy, Jesus made the day of His coming to gather His Church easy to understand. Paul did too. And our Lord Jesus used the idea of a thief breaking into one's home at midnight to represent the day of His coming upon both, His Church and... the wicked/deceived. The difference is, His...

Jesus gave the thief metaphor in Matthew 24:43 and Luke 12:39 applied to the day of His coming being a surprise to those who do not watch. That also is Apostle Paul's theme in 1 Thessalonians 5 where he said the "day of the Lord" will come "as a thief in the night". And then Paul revealed with...

The gathering of the Church on earth to Jesus is at His 2nd coming, after the tribulation like He said in Matthew 24, NOT before the tribulation. The pre-trib rapture theory is a theory of man, not Biblical. The first ones 'taken' in Jesus' mention of those towards the end of Luke 17 are...

I thought promotions like that weren't supposed to be allowed on this Forum? Seems to be a lot of what you do instead of application of actual Scripture.

Rev 16:15-17 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there...

I did backup what I said according to God's Holy Writ. It's traditions of men that get away from the simple Biblical pointers to Lucifer coming as the Antichrist. Even that "Unholy Trinity" idea is simply an idea suggested by men, and not Biblically written (even though it may make sense.) The...

Christ's Revelation was written for all Churches, but historically given to the seven Churches in Asia (Minor) through Apostle John. Your trying to create an argument over that simple fact addressed in Revelation 1 when I only presented the Biblical fact. The characteristics of the seven...

As I've said elsewhere about the origin of the pre-trib rapture theory, it was first preached in 1830's Great Britain by the Edward Irving Church and is where John Darby got the idea which he preached. Prior to the 1830's, a post-tribulational coming and gathering to Christ is what was preached...

God is able to protect His servants without removing them off the earth. Christ's return is show in prophecy to be on the last day of this present world, and not before. A pre-trib rapture does not fit that Bible prophecy. The event of God's consuming fire that ends man's works off this earth...

True, the symbolic 7 years of Dan.9:27 was a literal time period for the end, until our Lord Jesus said He shortened the tribulation in Matthew 24. We are still to mark the events leading up to His return as if the 7 years were still in effect, as the time may be shortened, but the events are...
