    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Your facetious sniping reveals your immaturity. I never claimed any of those things as having been fulfilled. Except one. The present historical reality of the Antichrist in our midst. I am not a preterist. I am historicist. Do some research and find out what that means. And let me point out...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    There is conjecture among those interested in prophecy, that the final Antichrist is Satan himself. Most would be aware that the Antichrist has a few aliases. "Man of sin" (2 Thess. 2:3); "little horn" (Daniel 7:24,25); the second phase of the little horn of (Daniel 8:10); King of the North...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Totally. I've written many posts and started a few threads on that very topic. I will start a new thread, with copy/paste, posts of mine from previous. Many will come in and disagree and offer alternatives. It will be up to you to decide what is biblical, historical, and/or conjecture.

    Q for JW- KIEW?

    The sanctuary services of the OT, including the priesthood, the feast days, and all the various sacrifices as well as the furniture within the sanctuary itself, all held special significance and meaning, and represented the gospel for Israel, to be honoured until the time of Messiah. Type was to...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    No offence taken. I'm neither preterist or futurist.

    No Law : Under Grace

    Righteousness by faith, not righteousness is faith.

    Julian Assange

    Is free and in his way home to Australia. Good or bad?

    No Law : Under Grace

    I respectfully disagree. Faith is the means to attain to the righteousness of Christ which comes to us as a gift... Both imputed and imparted. True faith is the means, not the end itself.

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Rethink this. John is writing this in around 90AD. He is saying, 5 are fallen. Part tense from his perspective. One is. Present tense from house perspective. One to come. Future from his perspective. That 7th one gives his power to the 8th, who in fact is one of the first 7. Sounds like a...

    No Law : Under Grace

    Agreed. KJV Galatians 3:10-13 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Matthew 24:37-41 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Interesting you accept this truth. And I couldn't agree with you more. Prophetic time is symbolic, just like the rest of prophecy. But the Bible itself tells us how to interpret the symbols. Prophetic time is understood by a principle, day for a year. One day in prophecy equals a literal year in...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Scripture. Not Left Behind fiction novels based on Jesuit teaching from the counter reformation.

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    The description of the end times given in Matthew 24 described by Jesus, is a picture of a world where the vast majority are carrying on life as if everything is normal and nothing amiss. Marrying and giving in marriage, eating and drinking, as if the world is going to last forever and all is...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    I disagree. That particular event, when Jesus returns with the saints inside the new Jerusalem takes place at the end of the millennium. As you say, Jesus at the second coming will not even touch Israel. We meet the Lord in the air, and so will we always be with Him. The wicked dead are not...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    You are revealing your lack of understanding of what historicism actually is. It isn't preterism which has all prophecy completed. Historicism is a hermeneutic that recognises prophecy as beginning to be fulfilled from the time it was given. Daniel 2,7,8,9, and 11 are prime examples of this. But...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    I am aware the church does not teach idolatry. Yet it does practise it. Graven images abound. I know, I was there for many years. I have witnessed the intense devotion of Catholics to Mary, surpassing even the devotions of many to their football teams etc which is blatant idolatry. And worse...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    I remember several pages back you supplied a long list of scripture intended to support your theories. I read them. They didn't say what you are desperately wanting them to say. Every single one of them was a reference to the second coming. Nothing about a secret pretrib rapture. Ironically...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    That kind of thinking is an inevitable result of the over inflated devotion given to Mary by the church. It borders on idolatry, and in many cases, and in many minds, is well over the border and is an ensconced citizen of darkness.
