Thank you and that's your version of only 2 comings, i get it.These comings after the first are all combined in the second coming.
Yes, you're right my bad, but it doesn't conflict with the 3 comings given you.Good Morning Fred J,
In your previous post to me you did not specify these supposed 4 Comings of the LORD.
Can you find JESUS declaring this in His Gospel?
Broadly have some agreement with you, specifically have some disagreement with you.Actually, no one is “left behind” in 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18.
Secret?That passage isn’t about a secret pre-trib rapture —
Yes.it’s about the resurrection of the dead in Christ
No.and the Second Coming of Jesus.
Not Quiet to those Being Redeemed.It’s loud, visible, and final. The Lord descends with a shout, the voice of an archangel, and the trumpet of God — not exactly a quiet escape plan.
Yes.The dead rise first,
No. Many “Believers” Are “NOT”, “IN Christ”.then the living believers
Yes. Meeting AND SEEING (for the First Time)…(AS He “IS” ( Spirit) Christ the Lord, Their Savior and Redeemer.are caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air.
A “disappearance” from the EYES, Remaing (left behind) On Earth.That’s not a disappearance — that’s a homecoming.
True. Such Passages ARE Specific TO individuals MADE Whole and Being Redeemed.Paul isn’t even talking about unbelievers in this passage.
Actually…If you’re looking for “left behind” language, go to Matthew 24 — and guess what? It’s the wicked who are taken in judgment,
Disagree.just like in the days of Noah. The whole “left behind” narrative is a 20th-century invention — not biblical doctrine.
Hi DavidJumping in here …Good Morning Fred J,
In your previous post to me you did not specify these supposed 4 Comings of the LORD.
Can you find JESUS declaring this in His Gospel?
Broadly have some agreement with you, specifically have some disagreement with you.
1 Thes 4:13-17
Is About individuals having been “made Whole (body, soul, spirit) , being Claimed, Redeemed, Transported, From the Earth To the Clouds to meet Their Redeemer.
By “default”, those NOT Redeemed, Remain “left behind, ON Earth.
Secret?
Secret is … is Unknown, unsure, unheard, invisible.
* Secret to the individual being Redeemed?
No. They know, Trust, Sure, Heard, See.
* Secret to the individual Left on Earth, unknown, unsure, unheard, invisible? Yes.
Yes.
No.
Rather About individuals “IN Christ, meeting their Redeemer, and Seeing Him, AS He IS.
Not Quiet to those Being Redeemed.
Unheard to those NOT Being Redeemed.
Yes.
No. Many “Believers” Are “NOT”, “IN Christ”.
IN Christ, Applies to “Specific (Made Whole) Individuals.
Rather “THEN” the bodily Alive;
THEY…(Made Whole / ( soul sav-ED, spirit quickened-ED, body Crucified Dead, Living IN Jesus’ Risen Body, with the Power of God (ie. christ, IN Them.)
Yes. Meeting AND SEEING (for the First Time)…(AS He “IS” ( Spirit) Christ the Lord, Their Savior and Redeemer.
A “disappearance” from the EYES, Remaing (left behind) On Earth.
A “Homecoming” For the “Individual being Redeemed.
True. Such Passages ARE Specific TO individuals MADE Whole and Being Redeemed.
Actually…
It is a … AN Order and Way… Regarding;
The Righteous And The Un-Righteous…
* Recognition; Their “Dividing” Difference.
* Separating; The Divided, One from the other.
* Redeeming; TAKING, ( By the Lord) the individuals “WITH- IN” Christ the Lord.
Before, Tribulations From God ARE Sent Down To Earth From Heaven.
Before, the Wrath of the Lamb, the Wrath of the Devil, The Wrath of God…is Sent Down from Heaven, For All “Living men “ON Earth” to Experience Spiritual Anger (of the Lamb, the Devil, God).
No “Anger : Wrath send Down from Heaven, Has Been Prepared “For Those “IN Christ” to be subject to, or experience.”
* Redeeming… IS “Taking” Claiming that which is His [To ]B]Claim and Take.
* Christ the Lord Jesus… CLAIMS, REDEEMS, TAKES, that (he, him, she, her)… that IS His.
Expressly… they “IN Christ”
(before the Trib)
* God Shall … CLAIM, REDEEM, TAKE…that (he, him, she, her), that IS His. ( Before, During, After the Trib).
Expressly… they from the beginning to the ending… who bodily dies, Having bodily died, (In Any Ancient/ historical / modern/ era)…Heartfully Believing IN…
God Himself;
Gods Word;
Gods Prophetic Messiah,
Gods Revealed Son Jesus,
Gods Revealed Power to Raise the Dead unto Life.
Aside From “Those IN Christ, And Who Redeems Them AND WHEN AND WHY…Paul mentions ONE example in:
1 Thes 4:14
[14] For if we [Whomever that belief applies to, WHO IS NOT IN Christ)…believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
* Gods “bringing / taking is the First Resurrection”… “while Christs bringing / taking IS the Rapture.
* God shall Redeem, Claim, TAKE Them.
* Ultimately…
Those “individuals” Neither…
Claimed, Redeemed, TAKEN by Christ the Lord Or God…
Shall Be…Separated From the Redeemed… Have NO Access to “Their” Prepared Place of Peace, Comfort, Beauty, With their Redeemer”.
** AND Rather “SENT” to A Place “Prepared, For Them”… VOID of The Lord Gods, Peace, Comfort, Beauty.
Disagree.
Modern language of “left behind” … is Spot on, Regarding, Those “Not IN Christ”… “Those Not Claimed, Redeemed, Taken… BY Christ”… Left… to remain on Earth…During the Trib…experiencing Any portion of:
The Wrath of the Lamb,
The Wrath of the Devil
The Wrath of God…
They “on Earth” Still having opportunity (while alive)… to Bodily Die “in Heartful Belief”… and partake in Gods First Resurrection.
God bless you,
Glory to God,
Taken
The flood killed, drowned, took away their life.If you want to know who gets taken and who gets left, go to Matthew 24.
“As it was in the days of Noah… they were eating and drinking, until the flood came and took them all away...”
— Matthew 24:38–39
The “Taken” are the “Righteous” “redeemed” by the Lord God, “Called to”, “Escorted to” the Lord God.Who was taken?
The wicked. In judgment.
Jesus said: “Two will be in the field — one is taken, and one is left.”
— Matthew 24:40
He was continuing the same point:
The “taken” are taken in destruction, just like in Noah’s day.
The “left” are the righteous — the ones preserved.
Yes, the Church is raptured before the tribulation. The great tribulation begins when the Abomination of Desolation is set up in the midst of the week.[Mar 13:24 KJV] 24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
This verse says it occurs AFTER the tribulation................isnt the rapture before the tribulation?
[Mar 13:27 KJV] 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
The elect is believing Israel who have been scattered
Those that are taken are the righteous. The Church is taken to heaven before the seals are opened.If you want to know who gets taken and who gets left, go to Matthew 24.
“As it was in the days of Noah… they were eating and drinking, until the flood came and took them all away...”
— Matthew 24:38–39
Who was taken?
The wicked. In judgment.
Jesus said: “Two will be in the field — one is taken, and one is left.”
— Matthew 24:40
He was continuing the same point:
The “taken” are taken in destruction, just like in Noah’s day.
The “left” are the righteous — the ones preserved.
That’s the opposite of what Left Behind books teach.
Song of SolomonYou claim Christ comes and secretly takes “made whole” people.
Where is that in Scripture?
I seen no visible coming in 1 Thes 4. Nor do I see judgement.Because every single passage that speaks of His coming — 1 Thess. 4, 1 Cor. 15, Matthew 24, Revelation 19 — describes:
A visible return
A resurrection
And a final gathering of the saints followed by judgment
What the Word teaches is the Lord Himself will come at the trump of God or voice of God. This is the fullness of the Gentiles.Nowhere does Scripture teach:
A two-part second coming
A pre-trib evacuation of believers
This I could agree on.Or a second chance after the rapture during some “tribulation trial period”
Let's be brutally honest:Let’s be brutally honest:
The “Left Behind” theology you’re defending was invented in the 1800s, popularized by John Nelson Darby, footnoted by Scofield, and marketed as gospel to an undiscerning church.
Paul certainly taught it. John absolutely taught it.It’s not in the early Church.
It’s not in the epistles.
It’s not in the Gospels.
And it sure as heaven isn’t in Paul.
None of the Apostles or early Church Fathers taught this blasphemous, misleading poison.
Noah was shut in the ark and the flood came.Jesus explicitly compares His return to the flood.
“But as the days of Noah 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 Noah entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”
— Matthew 24:37–41 (KJV)
Who said anything about being lukewarm?Wake up.
Jesus wasn’t describing a quiet disappearance of believers.
He wasn’t painting some pre-trib rescue fantasy for the lukewarm.
Unfortunately, the things you have been taught do not agree with scripture.He was describing a public, terrifying, global act of judgment —
and the only ones preserved are those already sealed in Him,
just like Noah was sealed inside the Ark.
So if you’ve been taught the Left Behind version of this passage invented in the 1800s —
then you’ve been flipped upside down,
fed lies by false teachers from the Pit,
and handed a false hope that will not save you.
The rapture lie doesn’t prepare you for Christ’s return.
It by design, prepares you to be caught off guard when judgment falls.
It’s a lie from Hell, crafted to lead misled Christians straight into its gates.
Its like talking to a wall of brainwashed robots..
You keep twisting Christ’s own words to fit a fantasy that was literally invented in the 1800s, popularized by John Nelson Darby, and force-fed to the Church by Cyrus Scofield, a disbarred conman funded by Zionist agents and Oxford University Press. And now you’ve been programmed to defend doctrines no Apostle ever taught, no early Christian ever believed, and not a single Church Father would recognize as truth. You’re clinging to a theological system that didn’t exist before 1909. Not one Christian on Earth believed this garbage before Scofield’s “study Bible” poisoned the pews.
Jesus wasn’t vague. He said the flood came and took them all away—and so shall it be at His return. He's saying the wicked are “taken” in judgment, just like in Noah’s day. Noah wasn’t “raptured” out—he was left behind, sealed in the ark. So when Jesus says, “One shall be taken and the other left,” He’s obviously continuing the exact same point. Even Slingblade and Forest Gump should see this clearly. If you’ve been taught otherwise, then you’ve been flipped upside down by false teachers from Hell who have perverted Christ’s warning into some Left Behind bedtime story. If being “taken” was a good thing, Jesus wouldn’t have compared it to those drowned in judgment during the days of Noah. You cant clearly see what even a child should see and understand, because you're under the veil.
There is no pre-trib rapture, there is no two-phase second coming, there is no second chance after the saints are gone. That’s all part of the same satanic inversion—the same “you shall not surely die” lie wrapped in end-times packaging. The Bible never says Christ will sneak back and evacuate the comfy Christians. What it actually describes—in every passage you cherry-pick—is loud, public, visible, terrifying: the resurrection, the gathering, and the judgment. It is one return, one event no split, no secret.
You are not rightly dividing Scripture and as usual, you're are butchering it and reading your theology back into the text. No Apostle taught this. Paul didn’t teach it, John didn’t teach it, Matthew didn’t teach it. And every single Church Father for the first 1800 years of Christianity—from Ignatius to Irenaeus, Justin Martyr to Tertullian—would call your doctrine heresy. You are defending a lie that didn’t even exist until a fake Bible filled with Zionist footnotes hit American churches in 1909. And now you’re out here arguing that being “taken” in judgment is actually salvation?
You are deceived and deep under the veil...
Wake up. Before you’re left outside the Ark thinking you're saved—just like they planned.
“O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth…”
— Galatians 3:1 (KJV)
Its like talking to a wall of brainwashed robots..
Let's be brutally honest:
John Nelson Darby claimed that Israel would be restored as a nation. There was no nation of Israel for close to 1800 years, and yet he was correct that Israel would be restored. That's faith in the Word of God despite what his eyes saw.
What you are teaching was birthed by unbelieving men that did believe that God would keep His promise to Israel. They saw no Israel, so they claimed the Church was Israel.
As history shows us, they were wrong.
From this end it is like talking to the blind that want to tell me what they see.Its like talking to a wall of brainwashed robots..
Please feel free to point out any words of Christ that I have twisted. I await chapter and verse and how I have twisted it.You keep twisting Christ’s own words
What you are saying is you did no RE-search. You just gobbled up what was regurgitated to you without even checking.to fit a fantasy that was literally invented in the 1800s, popularized by John Nelson Darby, and force-fed to the Church by Cyrus Scofield, a disbarred conman funded by Zionist agents and Oxford University Press. And now you’ve been programmed to defend doctrines no Apostle ever taught, no early Christian ever believed, and not a single Church Father would recognize as truth. You’re clinging to a theological system that didn’t exist before 1909. Not one Christian on Earth believed this garbage before Scofield’s “study Bible” poisoned the pews.
The flood took the ark away. Those that are left had no ark.Jesus wasn’t vague. He said the flood came and took them all away—and so shall it be at His return. He's saying the wicked are “taken” in judgment, just like in Noah’s day. Noah wasn’t “raptured” out—he was left behind, sealed in the ark. So when Jesus says, “One shall be taken and the other left,” He’s obviously continuing the exact same point. Even Slingblade and Forest Gump should see this clearly.
Pre trib has one thing wrong for sure. They are missing the second rapture which occurs at the 6th seal.If you’ve been taught otherwise, then you’ve been flipped upside down by false teachers from Hell who have perverted Christ’s warning into some Left Behind bedtime story. If being “taken” was a good thing, Jesus wouldn’t have compared it to those drowned in judgment during the days of Noah. You cant clearly see what even a child should see and understand, because you're under the veil.
There may not be a second chance, but there is a rapture of the Church before the tribulation. Best watch and be ready as we have been instructed.There is no pre-trib rapture, there is no two-phase second coming, there is no second chance after the saints are gone.
Frankly you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Your views come from those that spiritualized scripture instead of accepting the written Word of God.That’s all part of the same satanic inversion—the same “you shall not surely die” lie wrapped in end-times packaging. The Bible never says Christ will sneak back and evacuate the comfy Christians. What it actually describes—in every passage you cherry-pick—is loud, public, visible, terrifying: the resurrection, the gathering, and the judgment. It is one return, one event no split, no secret.
I take the Word of God literally. Feel free to show me anywhere I am butchering scripture.You are not rightly dividing Scripture and as usual, you're are butchering it and reading your theology back into the text.
Paul taught there are two raptures. John taught there are two raptures. Jesus taught there are two raptures.No Apostle taught this. Paul didn’t teach it,
You speak without RE-search. You might do your own research instead of believing what you have been told.John didn’t teach it, Matthew didn’t teach it. And every single Church Father for the first 1800 years of Christianity—from Ignatius to Irenaeus, Justin Martyr to Tertullian—would call your doctrine heresy. You are defending a lie that didn’t even exist until a fake Bible filled with Zionist footnotes hit American churches in 1909. And now you’re out here arguing that being “taken” in judgment is actually salvation?
I am watching and ready as instructed.You are deceived and deep under the veil...
Wake up. Before you’re left outside the Ark thinking you're saved—just like they planned.
“O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth…”
— Galatians 3:1 (KJV)
Oh, I get it.You're not getting it.
Let’s be brutally honest — again:
Darby’s “prediction” that Israel would become a nation wasn’t prophecy.
It was policy, a marketing scheme for a planned annexation of Palestine, dressed up in King James English and sold to naïve pew-sitters as fulfilled scripture.
That’s not faith.
That’s conditioning.
It was prophesied and it happened. FACT. You can tell God that it didn't happen if you want. I'm going to believe what is written.You really think it’s a miracle that Darby "believed" in the restoration of Israel — when his entire theological system was crafted to justify it?
That’s like a pickpocket warning you about rising crime; while stealing your wallet.
That’s like a casino prophet telling you the dice are holy; while the table’s rigged.
That’s like the wolf preaching about lamb safety; from inside the sheep pen.
The modern “nation of Israel” wasn’t the result of "fulfilled prophecy", it was the result of a bankrolled violent war, British imperialism, and global Zionist lobbying.
And Scofield’s job was to make sure every red-blooded churchgoer in America clapped like seals while it happened.
And the blind tell me what they see..........................You weren’t witnessing prophecy.
You were watching the rollout of a Luciferian bait-and-switch —
a plan to hijack the Gospel, exalt an unbelieving nation, and rewire your Bible to serve a political throne, not a heavenly one.
But sure, keep quoting Song of Solomon as rapture doctrine.
While Rome burns, you’re writing wedding invitations to a bride Christ already married —
and cheering for a nation that still hates His name.
Wake up.
You're under the veil..
