You guys are really thin, I can see why you fabricate a view where your taken out of tribulation. Christ will give you endurance.Insulting others (while) Waiting on him. Suit yourself.

Will says it is time great tribulation. It does not call it the tribulation period.
Revelations 3:10 calls it the time of testing. The seals, trumpets, bowls, AC and Satan are all tools of testing and judgment. They are all tribulation.
Don't get hung up on semantics.

Stop being a hypocrite. You just make claims but never post verses.
Jesus was speaking to the nation of Israel in the passage that you quoted. Look at the context--He is speaking to those in "Judea". He SAID He had been sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel. Matthew 15:24 It was only when Israel, as a whole, refused Jesus as their King that salvation was opened to the Gentiles.
The expression, "Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord" is quoting Psalm 118:26--a Messianic psalm--a portion of Scripture that the Jews of that day would have known well. (They were most schooled in the prophecies of the Kingdom and the Psalms--particularly the Messianic Psalms.) If you will remember correctly, it was one of the three things that the crowds shouted at Jesus at His triumphal procession into Jerusalem (see Matthew 21:9). Speaking in ignorance of the Scriptures and what they teach is a bad idea for you.

The only fruit that comes from pre tribulation rapture sophistry, is self love, not a fruit of the Spirit

I posted many direct quotes proving the kingdom is spiritual only. This disproves Dispensationalism and other millennial theories. Here they are again for your convenience.
Please consider the spiritual nature of the Kingdom:
“And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 3:2) (KJV 1900)
“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” (Matthew 11:12) (KJV 1900)
“Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” (Matthew 16:28) (KJV 1900)
“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.” (1 Corinthians 15:50)
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3) (KJV 1900)
“Jesus answered, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5)
“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.” (John 18:36) (KJV 1900)
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:” (Luke 17:20) (KJV 1900)
“Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21) (KJV 1900)
“But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has already overtaken you.” (Luke 11:20)
“because we are not looking at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen. For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18)
“Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus performed, they began to say to one another, “This is certainly the Prophet who is to come into the world.” Then Jesus, because he knew they were going to come and seize him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountainside alone.” (John 6:14–15)
“He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves,” (Colossians 1:13)
“When Jesus saw that he answered intelligently, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any longer.” (Mark 12:34) (HCSB)
“for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 14:17) (HCSB)

Oh? Like accepting that Jesus was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel? That is what He said, by the way. It was only when Israel, as a whole, rejected Him as their King, that the Kingdom was postponed and God then put them aside and took a people from the Gentiles for Himself. Not only are you ignorant of Scripture but you are ignorant of what it teaches.

Coward! Call a spade a spade. Let's SEE who's the DEVIL.
I am welcoming my dying day; I have learned the past month the enemy of Jesus Christ with whom I have contended since eve of the millennium, the dispensationalists and Roman Catholics and hosts of antichrist, are preparing their last assault on God's dog NOW. I'm waiting; I beg you, strike your mortal blow. I have and I am finished; I have been fighting in the good fight Paul and all the prophets and apostles fought in - even in the same war and battle as Christ have fought - and I want to go to where once my fellow beggar Lazarus has gone before me, to the bosom of my Father and his heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord and Saviour, where MY LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD. Please God, bury me in your love, I am so tired

Very bizarre, thanks but I think I'll pass on interacting with you further.

But you are full of self love, and seem to be very impressed with yourself, the fact that your stating God will carry you away on a cloud while all The unbelievers are left here to be punished, clearly tells me you are devoid of love, ignorant of it in fact. Fascinating, the moment I received the love of Christ I knew all I needed to know. Me ignorant? Does it matter? I’ll ask you as others have, are you being hypocritical?

I doubt you will ever 'get it'... in this world, not until Jesus returns. The very first covenant God made with Abraham was by promise, like Apostle Paul said, Abraham believed God, and God counted to Abraham as righteousness. Thus the INHERITANCE was never... of the law, but was by FAITH. And that involves The Gospel of Jesus Christ, and includes all covenants God made involving the New Covenant.
The old covenant is dead!
The Promise God first gave thru Abraham was by Faith, and is about the Everlasting Covenant, Salvation by Faith on The Father through His Son Jesus Christ. The inheritance and promises were always... intended to be in final for the New Covenant, not the old.

There's that baloney lie, 'all 12 tribes were joined with the house of Judah again after the Babylon captivity'. Balderdash! Not Biblical at all.
The small numbers out of the northern ten tribes that left the north because of Jeroboam's idol worship and went south instead to join with Judah was NOT... the majority of Israelites of the ten tribes! A first grader would easily know that from Bible history, just by reading their Bible!

Just as I thought. I figured you would miss the whole point of those Scriptures, i.e., Jesus showing the Jews, not the Gentiles, how the unbelieving Jews would be cast out of His Kingdom but believing Gentiles off the street would be invited in! The "children of the kingdom" in those verses Jesus put for the Jews, not Gentiles.
Matt 8:11-12
11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
KJV
Very easy point my Lord Jesus made there. When the "children of the kingdom", meaning the descendants of the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, should have been the natural ones invited into the kingdom to sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the faithful Gentiles are invited in their stead. Jesus showed the believing Gentiles are IN... His future Kingdom of Israel, and that's the even heavier point He made to the unbelieving Jew! Figured you'd miss that.
