The earth will be cleansed by fire and made new and the New Jerusalem will come down to earth 1500 miles square and will be the home of God with His family for all eternity!!! Where will you be for eternity??

Yeah, GOD creates a LOT of "squares": the earth, the moon, the sun, all the other planets, -- yep I see a lot of "squares".

On a different subject, have you ever considered that a baseball is 3" x 3" x 3" (L - W - H)? I still can figure out how those pitchers can get a cube to be thrown some 90+ miles per hour. It just doesn't seem to be a flight-stable configuration. Yet they can throw that thing that fast. But I'll bet it just tears up their arm.


And back to the subject, my own pastor agrees with your second premise, but he's a lying idiot. And I'm not suggesting that you are either one (a liar or an idiot), but there are a lot of false doctrines in "christianity". :)

Only if you consider the destruction of the earth cleansing. It will be reduced literally to Atoms that will be rebuilt into a brand new earth.

1400 miles HxWxD.

Furlong as a measurement did not exist when the Bible was written. Stadiom did.

Did you account for stitching regarding flight stability?

Who wants to allow satan to use them as his tool,fool,puppet??
... the REAL question is: Who wants the "church" to use them as an idiot who can be manipulated by fear and intimidation into paying their tithe to a HIRELING?!?


Oooooooooh, -- Jesus might come and I have to listen to some "man" because I don't want to hear directly from GOD HIMSELF. I'd rather be under a man just like a woman and have someone tell me what to do. -- I'm so worried...


Yeah, not,

... and so where people will repeat what they hear from the pulpit, and some will even search the Scriptures to "validate" what they've been told, VERY FEW can actually use CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS and discover that the DEAD are not raised until the Thousand Years are ended, and then those who are alive and remain on earth AFTER the Millennial Kingdom shall ascend to the New Jerusalem to be with the LORD Forever In The Air (Ref.: Rev. 20) ...


But remember, -- for those who are not prepared to survive the next 2 1/2 years until Jesus returns (my best understanding), they will not have the means for shelter, water, food, clothing, & necessities, -- so they will be hard pressed to resist FALLING AWAY.


Maybe these should consider their future as FOREWARNED by Jesus:

Luke 22:35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy one.

... because you ain't gonna get through the Tribulation without PROVISIONS.

Do you mean in the rapture or the second coming? Because from the rapture to the second coming is seven years.

On the very near Rapture Day Jesus will Return and Catch up those Looking for Him!
Hebrews 9:28 28
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
AMP Hebrews9:28 28
so Christ, having been offered once
and
once for all to bear [as a burden]
the sins of many, will appear a second time [when he returns to earth], not to deal with sin, but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly
and
confidently waiting for Him.
John 17:15 KJV
[15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

I suggest read what Jesus had to say to the seven Churches in Revelation. Jesus had a strong rebuke for many.

Yes he did.

The seven churches were present-day warnings and prophecy of the seven church ages concluding with the 6th church being rapture in the 7th spit out into the tribulation.

Proverbs 10:30-32 KJV
[30] The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. [31] The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out. [32] The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.

confidently waiting for Him.

I do not read where we are told to just be standing looking up and waiting for Him. In fact just the opposite. The angels asked them- " Why stand thou gazing into heaven...?"

Jesus said- " Occupy 'til I come..." , " Work while it is yet day...the night cometh..."
We are not going to float into heaven on a bed of rose petals, and ease.

When the rapture begins we are to look up.

Remember, the dead in Christ resurrect first. Then we all rise together.

So when the last trump of the church age sounds the dead saints resurrect to the earth then ascend to the clouds followed by the living Saints.

Where in the world did you get this strange idea? We will be supernaturaly *teleported* to Heaven in the blink of an eye. And there will be much work to be done in eternity. And this ain't science fiction either.

teleport
(ˈtɛlɪˌpɔːt)
vb
(General Physics) (tr) (in science fiction) to transport (a person or object) across a distance instantaneously
