Yes, twice in a sense. o. Jesus will descend from heaven and catch up believers into the air, so they may avoid the coming bowl judgments (Revelation 14:14-16). o. Jesus will subsequently descend to earth with his angels and engage Satan and his angels at the plain of Megiddo (Revelation 16:16...

"Mina" apparently was an ancient unit of weight. Here it perhaps indicates weight of a precious metal. We have been given a wonderful world to live in. We did not create it, rather it was given to us. We will all give an account of how we utilized it. (Romans 14:12).

"Man of sin" has several epithets, one being "anti-Christ" = "false Christ " See 2Thessalonians 2:1-11.

The reason for the rapture is to remove believers from the area of the coming battle. The Bible notes: "For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the arcangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who...

At the end of the thousand years Satan is released and leads an attack on Jerusalem (Revelation 20:1-10). Josephus notes that "Gog" and "Magog" (Revelation 20:8) refers to "Gog of the land of Magog," and that Magog founded the Magogians, who were called Syrians by the Greeks ("Jewish...

I would say the Great Tribulation begins at the midpoint of the seventieth seven, and is pictured as "bowl" judgments. A bowl itself is not a symbol of stress, hence I assume these bowls are filled with hot oil, an ancient method of torture. This is an especially rough time, hence believers are...

In Matthew 5:48 the verb "to perfect" stems from Greek τελεω = "to accomplish." So when you fill the car with gas you have perfected its fuel requirement. Likewise when you finish reading a book, mowing the lawn, paying a debt, etc. It does not indicate sinless perfection (Romans 3:23). That...

"Synagogue" (Hebrew ביח כנסח) is a Jewish "House of Learning." "Synagogue of Satan" (Revelation 3:9) is a "Satanic house of learning."

Davy noted: <Jesus will return in like manner> IMO: Jesus went up "into the sky," and he will RETURN in like manner, i.e. "in the sky." Check out Revelation 19:11-21. The rapture is not a return to the ground. Jesus will return to the *sky,* take believers up into the sky, and then to the...

Davy noted: <Not in 1 Thessalonians 4> Bible noted: "For the Lord himself will descend from heaven...and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be CAUGHT UP together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we always be with the...

Davy noted: <false pre-trib rapture at seventh trump> Apostle Paul noted: <In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMP...caught up" (1Thessalonians 4:17) There are seven trumps, the seventh is the LAST TRUMP of the seven.

IMO the rapture occurs at the seventh trumpet (1Thessalonians 4:16-18).

RWB objected: <doctrine into the Bible> Tares look very much like wheat, but they are not edible. Sowing tares onto a neighbor's wheat field is a dirty trick. The easiest remedy is to leave it alone until the harvest. The tares grow higher, making it easy to pluck and burn them first (Matthew...

Luke 19:13, Greek δεκα μνας δεκα = 10 μνας = 1/60 of a talent Two acquired a return on the money. The third did nothing to acquire a return. We did not create this world, we are invited guests; and we will all give an account of what we did with what we were given (Romans 14:12).

Jesus onto the Mount of Olives is second coming.

Sin corrupts the sinner, sun gives the sinner sunburn.

RWB noted: <Christ is ruling from holy Jerusalem now> That would be Jerusalem in heaven.

Then present your proof that my citations are not pre-great-tribulation rapture. There has always been tribulation (John 16:33). Great-tribulation" is noted in Matthew 24:21, signaled by the beast taking his seat in the temple (2Thessalonians 2:4).

Sin corrupts the sinner and everything associated with the sinner, hence this entire universe has to go. Think of it as remodeling. See Revelation chapters 21,22, new heavens and earth.
