    Hi Randy, I hear you about the statement. But to me it is just as absurd to think there is such a thing. So what about these scriptures - `The whole world lies under the sway of the evil one. ` (1 John 5: 19) `they are NOT of the world, just as I am not of the world.` (John 17: 16) ` they were...

    Why I'm Premil

    Hi Randy, There is NO such thing as a Christian Nation. Nations are NOT called out believers. Nations may have many people who are believers but that does not make them a Christian nation. ALL nations are under the sway of the evil one. (1 John 5: 19). The whole world system is against God...

    The Christian Theocracy

    Hi Randy, I can see you have thought long and hard on this topic. Thank you for sharing in such detail. I can understand your desire for nations to turn to God and receive the Kingdom of God. And that is the Lord`s rule through whom He will give rulership - Israel. And that is only the earthly...

    Hi Randy, Thanks for sharing your view. I agree with a lot of it. However, God`s purpose for Israel is that they will rule the world righteously. (Micah 4: 1 - 3, Dan. 7: 27, Ez. 17: 22 - 24, etc) There have been nations that had a moral code with some of the 10 commandments, however all...

    However, you became a believer nearly 2000 years after that, so will Israel as a nation also come under Christ`s rulership.

    What and when is the rapture Part 2

    It says `temple of God,` and the Jewish temple is the ONLY one that God had built. Jesus confirms that it is the Jewish Temple by referring it to Daniel`s prophecy. (Matt. 24: 15, Dan. 11: 31, 12: 11) And let`s not take away from scripture.

    The Timing of the Rapture.

    The Body of Christ has been promised to be `caught away` (raptured) to the Lord`s own Throne in the highest. (Rev. 3: 21) There are a few indicators as to the timing. 1. The Maturing of the Body of Christ. `...till we all come to the maturity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God...

    What and when is the rapture Part 2

    What and when is the rapture Part 2

    Hi Marty fox, You seem to place the Body of Christ as the centre of God`s purposes instead of the Lord. God has purposes for - the Body of Christ, for Israel and for the nations. Get those muddled up and you then try and fit everything around US and what happens to US. Marilyn.

    What and when is the rapture Part 2

    Hi GISMYS, I agree that we, the Body of Christ are in heaven during the trib. However, a closer look at Jude reveals that the word is `holy ones.` And they can be saints but also angels. So, we need more scriptures to show which. Let`s see who Jesus says comes with Him. `they will see the Son...

    Hi Randy, I just want to draw your attention to this detail - `us.` That being the Body of Christ. You see that detail was not in the criteria God gave Daniel. That prophecy concerned - Israel and their Holy city, NOT US. However you gave room for the Lord`s sacrifice to be outworked in `US`...
