    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    The wrath of God is sudden and wholesale destruction. No one survives. Revelation 6:12-16 relates to the final destruction described in Isaiah 34 to the appearance of the Lord at the second coming, where the wicked finally receive their reward. The sixth seal says, “And I beheld when he had...

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    Why do you ignore the literal detail in the text? You have avoided all the final destructive evidence that is identified with this passage and every other climactic passage. You have no answer to the literal detail. You spiritualize everything that exposes your error away. You have to! That is...

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    Is Revelation 19 your 3rd rapture?

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    Where does it say anywhere in Scripture that “Noah is a picture of the Pretrib rapture” and “Lot is a picture of the Jewish harvest”?

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    You are mixing subjects. That is talking about the first resurrection of Christ 2000 years ago from the dead. The other passages are talking about salvation. Different subject. Pay attention! The 144,000 are the early church. This harvest has already occurred.

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    Move into the new covenant. Jesus told His Jewish disciples in John 10:14-16 that there were “other sheep … which are not of this fold” which would be brought into His fold and they would “be one fold, and one shepherd,” talking about the NT overwhelmingly Gentile Church.

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    The sixth seal is the end of the world. It sees the change from time to eternity. It shows the conflagration and the destruction of all the wicked. This is the time of God's final wrath upon the earth. The wicked are so afraid of their impending doom that they want the mountains and rocks to...

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    The first-fruits are already in. Hello! You are trying to make them the last-fruits. This is how messed up Pretrib is.

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    There is only one fold. Dispies have double vision. They cannot see right. They duplicate everything they see in the sacred text to justify their false teaching. There are no words that exemplify the union Christ made between the old covenant saints and the new covenant believers than what Jesus...

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    Same event. What you are describing is in Rev 19. Is that a 3rd coming in your theology? This occurs way after the 6th and 7th seal.

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    Your theology is cryptic, unintelligible and unscriptural.

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    Of course it is the second coming. There are various descriptions of that one climactic event. Revelation consists of a number of recaps from different angles.

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    So, Scripture means nothing to you? You take your theology from nature and make Scripture fit it. That sums up your position. It enjoys zero support in the inspired text.

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    According to who? You avoid the multiple evidence that forbids your claims.

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    You make it up as you go with zero Scripture to support. This is your MO.

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    It is repeatedly used in literal passages in the OT and NT as a symbol. The term "a thousand" is used in most languages in a general figurative sense to represent a large number or a large indefinite period. Certain common numbers are frequently used in Scripture as valuable symbols to represent...

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    A thousand years is simply a simile for a long period of time. Revelation is full of figurative language. Amils acknowledge the symbolic setting and let other clear and explicit Scripture explain it. Premils explain away the clear and explicit by their faulty understanding of Revelation 20.

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 are often used as round figures in Scripture to describe greater truths. We do the same today. The term "a thousand" is used in most languages in a general figurative sense to represent a large number or a large indefinite period. Certain common numbers are frequently...

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    Where did you get that? The Bible constantly calls us sheep. Are we literal sheep? Re the “one hour” that the beast reigns with the “ten kings” in Revelation 17:12, is that sixty minutes?

    The Relationship Between Israel and the Church

    Do you have corroborative Scripture to support your position? I see nothing, only opinions.
