    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    No, I assume you believe Christ is speaking of His coming again which you might believe He did in 70 AD. But Christ is NOT speaking of His coming again at all. Not in 70 AD or the end of this age. That which He says is coming quickly/near/soon/at hand is the Kingdom of God in heaven which...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    No it wasn't! How could the gospel have already been preached to ALL nations of the world that did not yet exist? I understand as a Preterit why you try to limit the preaching of the gospel who is the Son of man to the first century nations, but the gospel is to be proclaimed throughout every...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    The verse clearly states "two olive trees" and "two candlesticks" that equates to the Law and Prophets as you've said, but also equates to the Word (Gospel) proclaimed in the power of the Holy Spirit through the church. Revelation 11:4 (KJV) These are the two olive trees, and the two...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Jesus gave no indication to His disciples about the exact timing the things He spoke would come to pass. Neither 2000 plus years, nor "about 35 years" fit passages for the end of the Old Covenant or the end of the New Covenant when Christ shall soon/quickly/is near to come again. Christ tells...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Marty, how do you explain how the two witnesses are said to be two candlesticks and two olive trees? IOW how do they equal four? Revelation 11:4 (KJV) These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. I agree they represent the Law and Prophets of...

    GWT - BookSS determine BOL entry ????

    To be judged for every ungodly deed in life, because they never believed in Christ, never coming before the judgment seat of Christ to be forgiven all their sins through Him. The Lord judges' believers both in life and death. This is what Paul means when he writes we shall all stand before the...

    GWT - BookSS determine BOL entry ????

    None of the DEAD being judged then shall be found written in the book of life. Only the born-again believers shall be found in the Lamb's book of life because before they physically died, they were judged before the judgment seat of Christ.

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    No, after both the dead in Christ, and those alive at His coming are caught up in the clouds with Christ, then ALL who are left behind on this earth shall suffer God's fiery wrath that shall be poured down upon the whole earth from heaven. Then shall come the great white throne judgment for the...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    There is a big difference between great tribulation/affliction faithful saints endure in this life, and the WRATH of God that shall be poured out upon the whole earth when the Lord comes again.

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    I don't agree. The rapture occurs on the last day of this age. What seven-year wrath/tribulation? Great tribulation is the lot in this life as the gospel of the Kingdom of God through Christ is being built. That may be the way you read Acts 14:22, but the passage does not say only the...

    Who goes back with Jesus in the pre-tribulation rapture?

    What pre-tribulation rapture? Of course ALL Christians shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air (raptured) when Christ comes again. There is however an order, first those who died in faith are raised up from the graves, then all who are still alive at Christ's coming again shall be...

    GWT - BookSS determine BOL entry ????

    Notice in the passage it is only the DEAD who are judged at the GREAT WHITE THRONE of God to give account before Him according to what is written in the book(s). That's because in life those who are still among the dead have not been judged before the JUDGMENT SEAT of Christ in life. The...

    Revelation chapter 11 questions

    Perhaps the temple is the one that represents the Kingdom of God on earth, i.e. the church, of which all who have been born again are. 2 Corinthians 6:16 (KJV) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them...

    MOTB by itself does not always = LOF ??

    Here you go again, trying to force fit your unbiblical doctrine into the pages of Holy Writ. The text does NOT say these bodies of saints that came out of the graves were seen by "many PEOPLE." The passage tells us only that they "went into the holy city, and appeared unto MANY." Since the...

    MOTB by itself does not always = LOF ??

    You'll have to look a little harder! There is ZERO mention of a Millennial Kingdom of Christ is this passage! The Kingdom of Christ is forever, which is why we read absolutely NOWHERE in the Word of God that there shall be a literal ONE THOUSAND YEAR reign of Christ in heaven or upon the...

    MOTB by itself does not always = LOF ??

    They were looking for a physical, material Kingdom of God to come to the earth. They could not understand the Kingdom of God Christ came with is not a physical Kingdom upon this earth, nor would it be, but is a spiritual Kingdom that is not of this world, is of heaven, and is within believers...

    MOTB by itself does not always = LOF ??

    None shall be physically resurrected immortal and incorruptible before the hour coming when the last trumpet sounds. Therefore, these bodies of saints could not have been raised up bodily and seen in the earthly city of Jerusalem where they appeared to many. Matthew 27:52-53 (KJV) And the...

    MOTB by itself does not always = LOF ??

    The hour coming that now is, came when Christ made atonement for sin, defeated death and resurrected from the grave. Because the hour that was coming and now is has come, all who hear the gospel of the Kingdom of God and believe through the power of the Holy Spirit are being spiritually...

    Where in Acts 1 might we learn of this physical "Millennial Kingdom of Christ"?

    David, you repeatedly show that your purpose for posting in these forums is not to have biblical truth, but rather your goal has always been to disprove Amil doctrine. I could give an answer to every question you raise, but it would be an exercise in futility! Because you have always and I'm...
