    Rapture ... soon?

    The first missionaries arrived in Nepal 400 years ago. Christian groups there estimate the number to be 1 million, possibly more. The gospel has been preached to every nation. Matt. 24:14 "all the nations", not every person, not even every tribe, but likely all tribes have been touched. Even...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    So in 1 Cor. 15:52, when it says we will be changed, ( both dead in Christ and alive in Christ), are you claiming that is not the resurrection? Sorry but that is the resurrection. Harpazo just means the resurrected will be caught up into heaven. Jesus was resurrected and walked out of the tomb...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    There is this ecumenical movement to welcome all religions, respect them as if all roads lead to Rome. False religions are hereticle. However, I wouldn't sonquickly label ( as you often do), Christians as heretics just because they believe in false doctrines yet still have faith in Jesus as...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    I don't see any wheat fields around where I live, but can imagine that some have fewer tares than others depending on how they car for their crops. I likened it to a lawn which everyone can relate to. The weeds can be numerous unless you subdue them, rip them out by the roots. But every year...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Don't imply I haven't read those scriptures, I know what they say and mean. I thought and was mistaken that you implied the two churches were the two witnesses. You went all through the explanation of two candlesticks and went into this long discussion referencing the church as being the two...

    Rapture ... soon?

    The generation and season and pretty close to the days. 1948 generation ( >80 years), the gospel recently has been preached to every nation and tribe, and the days will be dark, the sun and moon will be blocked, likely by smoke from wars or asteroid or vocanic eruption?

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    The Rapture is the resurrection for those who are living or dead in Christ. We are all caught up inti heaven to meet the Lord.

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    And it shall come to pass in all the land,” Says the Lord, “That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, But one-third shall be left in it: Zech. 13:8 We are born with a dead spirit, then when we believe, born again. However, unbelievers remain with a dead spirit. It is not given life. They...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Correct, present day Iran. Iran has already gather a half dozen of the ten nations. And of course Russia has been assisting Iran for decades with their nuclear program which has recently been dismantled. Turkey, Yemen ( already involved), Iraq, Lebanon (Hezbollah), Syria (a new leader who was...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    The two witnesses ( evangelists) mangae to convince 1/3 of them, the remnant Israel ( Rom. 11) whether this happens prior to the Rapture or not - not sure (but lean towards them finally getting it when every eye sees Him and the mourn. They mourn because the realize that He was/is the Messiah...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    What, the idea that Iran has been behind these proxy wars and a goal of annihilating the Jews? It's reality. You see, I do not believe in a Revised Roman Empire as the Beast. I think Islam is the Beast. The have been warring against Isreal since their rebirth in 1948. The Ottoman Empire was the...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    I know. I suspect this new Peace Treaty may have something to do with that although it does not include the major players, like Iran, the head of the snake, responsible for these proxy wars. You either believe in Christ or not and that determines whether you participate in the Rapture or not...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Ahhh. Well then, maybe they'll sleep through the Millennail Kingdom and then wake up?

    So I guess that means you are an another Amillennialist?.If so, no sense in continuing our conversation - it's futile.

    Demographic collapse. Capitalism Dies of Childlessness

    I am a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, but still in the flesh and a citizen of the USA. I believe in personal responsibility, laws, a strong work ethic... captialism ... conservative values across the board. I was always taught to occupy until He comes, live your life, be good - all that...

    Demographic collapse. Capitalism Dies of Childlessness

    I never said anything about the U4U program. I don't have a problem with vetting Ukrainians and requiring them to have a sponsor who will sign the immigration papers and support them if they can't support themselves _ for up to ten years ... Like I did with my ex- East German wife and her...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Rev. 11 -19 gives more depth explanation. His coming is described, from the seventh trumpet, many things happen: He becomes king of all nations, , the Rapture ( IMHO), heaven opens, rewards given, dead are judged, but the destruction is not one event. The Seven Bowls of Wrath are released which...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Jesus' parables about he Second Coming, our readiness for it and His coming judgment in the Great Tribulation are about to be fulfilled _ in this age. It doesn't appear that you recognize any of the signs; nor are you ready. It will be like in the days of Noah for you. Either get on board the...

    Rapture ... soon?

    You asked me that same question almost three years ago. I came up with this: "The Social Life of a Jew in the Time of Christ". London: Church Missions To The Jews, 1929 by Keith Elijah Khodada "The Passover at the Time of Christ", Miami, Fl. Hard Press Pub. Reprented from London Jews Society...

    Rapture ... soon?

    I lean towards His Coming/RAPTURE as the same event, NOT two ( a secret rapture then 7 years later for judgment. He comes, with His angels, who blow the last trumpet, separates the wheat from the chaff, then His wrath comes. The Left Behind series had it wrong IMHO. I could be wrong. I am not...
