Customs and doctrines of men are not biblical if it isn’t found in the word.

Why are you trying to promote your site? Instead of engagement, you make 2 sentences, drop a link and depart. This isn’t the first time either.

People have been saying the end is any day now since before I was born. In every generation, something happens and the false prophets with their scare tactics come out.

Has the man of sin been revealed yet? No. Then it isn’t imminent

Has the current world been changed to make way for a new one?
Then it isn’t imminent

Edit: The rapture isn’t imminent. The resurrection of the dead precedes it. And Christ reining in his Kingdom precedes it. Are we all reading the same book?

Well both of yo0u are misreading teh book. God said that we are to be deliverd from the wrath to come and teh tribulation period is the wrath to come.

So the church will be raptured before the tribulation period starts.

Dead in Christians then we who are alive!

Obviously, You don’t know my thoughts on this. You just misrepresented me.

First, I believe we are saved from his out poured wrath.

Secondly, tribulation is not his wrath. It’s distress, persecution and the feeling of being hemmed in. His out poured wrath isn’t until the bowls. As a matter of fact, when the mark comes, we’re given a warning: whoever doesn’t take the mark, will not go through God’s wrath in the bowls; meaning the time of the mark isn’t wrath either.

Sorry Ronald. Till the heavens are no more, the resurrection won’t happen till that day comes. And it doesn’t come on a Pre-TB timeline. Neither does Christ come back 2 more times. Neither is there 3, 4 or 5 resurrections depending on who you ask. Neither does the resurrection happen 7 years before the last day. Neither are angels redeemed and neither are meteorites going to fall like an “aster”. Thanks, I enjoy our talks.

Edit: If you need that verse Ronald, it’s revelation 14:9-10

9And a third angel followed them, calling out in a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives its mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10he too will drink the wine of God’s anger, poured undiluted into the cup of His wrath.

All of you are wrong :p
What did Jesus say?
He said after the tribulation of those days he would come and gather us. Not only us, but he would also gather the goats as well and throw them into the fire.

Matt 13
40 So just as the weeds are gathered up and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend [those things by which people are led into sin], and all who practice evil [leading others into sin], 42 and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping [over sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [over distress and anger]. 43 Then the righteous [those who seek the will of God] will shine forth [radiating the new life] like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears [to hear], let him hear and heed My words.



49 So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50 and throw the wicked into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping [over sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [over distress and anger].

51 “Have you understood all these things [in the lessons of the parables]?” They said to Jesus, “Yes.”

Matt 25
31 “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory and majesty and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him [for judgment]; and He will separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats; 33 and He will put the sheep on His right [the place of honor], and the goats on His left [the place of rejection].

34 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father [you favored of God, appointed to eternal salvation], inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

41 “Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Leave Me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels (demons);



Paul agrees with Jesus
2Thess 1
5 This is a positive proof of the righteous judgment of God [a sign of His fair verdict], so that you will be considered worthy of His kingdom, for which indeed you are suffering. 6 For after all it is only just for God to repay with distress those who distress you, 7 and to give relief to you who are so distressed and to us as well when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in a flame of fire, 8 dealing out [full and complete] vengeance to those who do not [seek to] know God and to those who ignore and refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus [by choosing not to respond to Him]. 9 These people will pay the penalty and endure the punishment of everlasting destruction, banished from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day [that is, glorified through the changed lives of those who have accepted Him as Savior and have been set apart for His purpose], and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed and trusted [and confirmed in your lives].


Rapture day is wrath day judgment day the last day
God has not destined us to wrath on this day as you can see.

Biblical genealogy and history suggest Adam was created around 4,000 B.C. The first believers thought the millennium would come after a six thousand year reign of Man. This timing suggests that the End is imminent. Here are 7 factors to consider.

Calculating the Rapture? 7 Factors to Consider

Oh!

Can I remind you that we are in 2022? So, the millennium must've started 22 years ago? Or are you like a lot of Premils whose theology was exposed in the year 2000 and have been forced to move the date of the second coming forward to suit their claims?

There is only one factor to consider--that is: Only one truth to believe as it is written...which Paul explained as "but each one in his own order." 1 Corinthians 15:23

The reality is that YOU... are NOT heeding The Bible as written, but instead are listening to MEN'S DOCTRINE.

The specific "wrath" you have been wrongly taught about from MEN'S DOCTRINES, is actually about God's cup of wrath poured out on the LAST DAY, UPON THE WICKED. And Apostle Paul gave that in relation to those who suffer the "sudden destruction" of that 1 Thessalonians 5 chapter, which you obviously HAVE NOT EVEN READ!
