Again you COMPLETELY REFRAME what is said.
Jesus used Lot and Noah SIDE BY SIDE to prevent some reframing postrib rapture doctrine traction.
Uh............ what??

REFRAME THIS... Jesus taught that His coming to gather His saints is "Immediately after the tribulation..." per Matthew 24:29-31!

That means man's Pre-trib Rapture theory is a FALSE DOCTRINE OF DEVILS!


You are unaware ,or just plain embarrassed ,how your doctrine has been debunked solidly and thoroughly.
You are SO FUNNY! All those LIES you tell are PROOF of who you represent, that there is another spirit influencing you! That is what you get when you follow Satan's crept in unaware servants among the false Pre-trib Rapture doctors!

Jesus Christ made it so... plain that His future coming to gather His Church is AFTER... the tribulation, and those who try and claim they belong to Him LIE AND SAY THAT AIN'T TRUE? that the Scripture doesn't teach that?? Someone who thinks that shows there's only one OTHER place they can be coming from, and that is from 'another spirit'. And Apostle John DID tell those in Christ to 'try the spirits to see if they are from GOD or not'.

Dallas has a sister city. Ft Worth

Postribs.."no we can not look at Ft Worth.
It is not a city.
You are deceived Dallas has no city close by.
Ft Worth is an illusion.
Lets just look at Dallas since Ft Worth is forbidden.
You are racist.
God is not racist."
^^^^^^ This is the insanity I am seeing^^^^^^^^

The big Baptist seminary at Dallas Theological Semiary preaches FALSE PRE-TRIB DOCTRINE.

That's all the TRUE Bible student needs to know about that seminary, to STAY AWAY from those servants of the devil!

Apply the context, facts, components, and setting.
Psssst...YOU HAVE TO CHANGE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

But it gets worse. YOUR DOCTRINE NEEDS some part of that, to ALIGN with your theory.
Psssst...NONE OF IT DOES....NONE OF IT.
That is WHY you actually change the bible.
So sad.

This is bizarre.
It is woke Christianity.
Men are not men
Women are not women
Before the flood ...is actually after the flood.
Jews are not Jews.
144k is not a number
12,000 is not a number
Tribes are not tribes
Wow...that is trashing the bible.

This thread has successfully trashed the postrib rapture doctrine thoroughly.
....and is only one arrow in the pretrib rapture doctrine quiver.

Yes,yes we all see that gathering ,and coming on horses, with saints mounting them, IN HEAVEN, Gathered BY ANGELS.,..NOT JESUS.
Yep that also PROVES A PRETRIB RAPTURE.

You have no verses
Not a single postrib rapture verse in the bible.
You do not understand the Rapture is the Gathering of the Bride.
You do not understand the purpose of the tribulation.
You do not understand the marriage supper.
Nor the fact of Jesus used lot as a pre judgement gathering picture.
You do not understand that the Saints are in heaven per Revelation 19 ,mounting horses in heaven ,and obviously gathered by angels in heaven to those horses.
You do not understand the word "before". And actually, don't even understand the word "after", because you misplaced that whole "after the tribulation ends" dynamic

Any spirit that forbids rev14:14 or mat 24:38 is not of God.
Yes thank you for showing is you hide from those verses, while accusing the body of Christ as being from the devil.

Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, that based on what the above records, no coming of Christ in any sense happens until verse 27 is fulfilled first. Obviously, verse 27 is not meaning prior to verse 21(great tribulation). It is meaning after.

Obviously as well, the coming meant in verse 27 is the same coming meant in verse 39 which also involves verse 40 at the time.

Pretribbers apparently think some of the rest of us lack reading comprehension like they do, and that we can't see that verse 39, which also involves verse 40, that this fits after verse 21(great tribulation) not prior to it instead.

In Matthew 24, where does Jesus ever make mention of a coming of His, in any sense, that takes place prior to verse 21? I don't see any mention of a coming, in any sense, that takes place before that of verse 21. If a coming of His, in any sense, happens prior to verse 21, verse 23 and verse 26 is nothing but a lie since Jesus said to not believe anyone who claims Christ has already come. But when He does come, it will be in the manner verse 27 records.

Pretribbers apparently want to rewrite some of Matthew 24 and have us believe the following is fulfilled chronologically like such.

Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Matthew 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Instead of verses 39-40 and verse 27 involving the same coming, Pretribbers have it involving 2 different comings, one prior to great trib, the other after.


Rather than chronologically like this instead.

Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.


While post tribbers have verses 27, 39-40, meaning exactly as Jesus intended them to mean, one coming, not two comings happening at different times.

Likewise we can say that this verse, for one, tells us that the one in Rev.14:14 is Christ:

And in the midst of the seven lampstands one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. -- Rev.1:13

And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. -- Rev.14:14

Jesus is called the Son of man in the New Testament many, many times, it is a title He called Himself by, and a title His apostles called Him by, a title that He is called by many times in the gospels, in Acts and in the epistles,

and no one else except Jesus is called the Son of man in the New Testament. The second-last time He is called the Son of man, is in Rev.1:13. In your post above you believe that Rev.1:13 would be the last time Jesus is called the Son of man.

IMO it would be really odd - really odd - and totally inconsistent with the rest of the New Testament to say that the one in Rev.14:14 is not talking about Christ. If there was something wrong with Revelation having the Son of man wearing a golden stephanos crown, then I would agree with you, but I don't see what could be wrong with that.

I don't see anything wrong with Him being seen on a white cloud either, nor even anything wrong with Him being called an angel:

Revelation 10
1 Then I saw another powerful angel descending from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun and his legs were like pillars of fire.
2 He held in his hand a little scroll that was open, and he put his right foot on the sea and his left on the land.
3 Then he shouted in a loud voice like a lion roaring, and when he shouted, the seven thunders sounded their voices.

5 Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven
6 and swore by the one who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, and the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, "There will be no more delay!
7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to blow his trumpet, the mystery of God is completed, just as he has proclaimed to his servants the prophets."



IMO it's more logical to say that it would be the one after the third angel mentioned in verse 9 - so the fourth angel mentioned in the chapter. Verse 17 is a fifth angel and verse 18 a sixth.

Even if Christ is meant, nothing there supports Pretrib though, so I don't know why Pretribbers somehow think this verse helps their position one way or the other?

Thanks for proving my point.
Btw it is MAT 24:38. ( totally omitted in your post...TOTALLY OMITTED)

You omitted "BEFORE THE FLOOD"

I will try and deal with that in a future post then. For the time being, I submit the following.

In the KJV when putting the following passages side by side, what I have underlined in each are saying the exact same thing, word for word.

Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be

Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be


This should tell anyone that doesn't have an agenda, such as Pretrib or Preterism, that the coming meant in verse 27 is the same coming meant in verses 39-40.

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be(verse 27)---vs---so shall also the coming of the Son of man be(verse 39)

Verse 27 nor verse 39 can occur prior to verse 21, nor during it if the following is true during the time of verse 21(great tribulation).

Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.


Obviously, verse 27(also meaning verses 39-40), once it is fulfilled, puts an end to what is recorded in verses 23-26 above. Verse 27 does not fit prior to verse 21 nor during it. Which obviously means, since verses 39-40 are involving the exact same coming verse 27 is involving, neither can verses 39-40 fit prior to verse 21 nor during it. Therefore, the reasoning you laid out in the OP and elsewhere in this thread, it it totally flawed, IOW, nonsensical.

I don't care if you want to believe in a fairy tale Pretrib rapture. That's not the issue. The issue is when you feel the need to have to drag Post trib through the mud in order to make it appear Post trib is not remotely plausible, only Pretrib is. If Pretrib is plausible that should mean verse 27 logically fits prior to the beginning of verse 21 since that's where you have verses 39-40 fitting. Keeping in mind that verse 27 and verses 39-40 are involving the same coming. IOW, you can't have the same coming meaning both before and after great tribulation. That's called a contradiction. lol

it proves Jesus can come and go to planet earth

If the passage in question is indeed meaning Jesus, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but if it is, it seems to me then, that the time frame would be that of 1 Thessalonians 4 pertaining to the rapture following after the dead in Christ have risen first. The rapture event recorded in 1 Thess 4 couldn't remotely be meaning prior to great tribulation.

Think about it for a moment, the following I submit below, though I assume you likely won't since you place your Pretrib agenda above all else, apparently.

1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Until this happens first, this change from mortality to immortality, Pretrib implies that during the rapture event the church is raptured to heaven still in the state they were in before the rapture. IOW, Pretrib has the church entering heaven in a flesh and blood state rather than a changed state, meaning bodily immortality. Are Pretribbers going to argue that the last trump(1 Corinthians 15:52) is meaning prior to great trib rather than after great trib, then expect some of the rest of us to take that argument serious?

There are NO such thing as "pretrib rapture verses" in God's Word. If there were, those here on that FALSE Pre-trib Rapture theory would have shown them to me by now.

Rev14:14
Mat 24:38

Game

Match.

Game over
Lol
That Matthew 24:38 verse does not stand alone.

Nor does that Rev.14:14 verse about the day of Christ's future coming at 'harvest' time, which is the time when He gathers His wheat and separates the tares from it.

Matt 24:36-47
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only.


No man knows the exact day or hour of Christ's future return. Simple. Anything else made of that is against His Word.

37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


Just as the days of Noah is how the times when Jesus comes will be. What were they doing on earth in Noah's day before the flood?

38 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,


Per Genesis 6, the fallen angels looked upon the daughters of Adam, and took wives of them, and begat the Nethilim, a hybrid race of giants on the earth. Many ancient cultures mention them, and those giants were the subject of ancient mythologies. By this, Jesus was saying those angels are coming back to earth at the end just prior to His return.

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


Then God brought a world-wide flood to wipe out those Nethilim, and those who had tainted their bloodline. Only Noah and his family had stayed bloodline pure, which is the meaning of Noah being "perfect in his generations" (Gen.6:9).

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.


In the Luke 17 version of that, Jesus' disciples asked Him about that 1st one TAKEN; they asked, "Where, Lord?". And He answered, wheresoever the carcase is, that's where the fowls will be gathered (rendered "carcase" above in Matt.24:28). What kind... of fowls eat on a dead "carcase"? And the FALSE Pre-trib Rapture school tries to say that's Jesus is Who TAKES them as dead carcases to be gathered where those fowls are?

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.


In that time under the Romans, the night was divided up into four 3-hour 'watch' periods. That is what Jesus is referring to, the symbolic "thief" breaking in at night. Jesus says, if the goodman of the house had KNOWN in what "watch" the thief would come, he wouldn't allow his house to be broken into. Notice that still does not point to the 'day' or 'hour' of Jesus' return "as a thief".

Jesus gave us the 7 SIGNS of the end in His Olivet discourse, and in Revelation, so we would know what... to be WATCHING, leading up to His future return.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
KJV


When Jesus does return, His faithful Church is NOT... to be found having already been TAKEN! Instead, Christ's faithful are to remain a "chaste virgin" like Paul taught, waiting on Jesus Christ to come, which means being the one left working in the field for Him. And for those of His servants that He finds so doing when He comes, He will make them ruler over all His goods, i.e., they will then reign with Him on earth, as written in Rev.5:10.
