The "watch rapture view"

[Douggg]

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.


So since we are currently in a pre-70th week time status, the rapture could happen pre-70th week.

Should the rapture not take place as the 70th week begins, then we should continue to watch - as the resurrection/rapture is even closer.

My point is - don't be so dogmatic (as to insisting pre-trib, mid-trib, pre-wrath, post trib timing). The key is to watch, be prepared, Matthew 24:44

Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

We all should be able to adopt the "watch rapture view".

JESUS died in the 70th week

JESUS died in the 70th week

Regardless of one's view on that, we all should be able to adopt the "watch rapture view"

Our very real ability to manufacture and turn any point of view to suit our paradigm inevitably opens us to clever deceptions....particularly those of our own making.
Jesus never gave us the ins and outs of this, most likely because it's complex. What he did was caution us that deception is cleverer than we imagine by simply stating 'don't be deceived'.....then he leaves us with the responsibility. It behooves those who would claim to have an interest in truth, to be reflective!

Jesus returns after the tribulation in fire and final judgment (The End)

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

 

[The Light]

Jesus returns after the tribulation in fire and final judgment (The End)

Yes, Jesus returns after the tribulation. That would be at the 6th seal. There is not THE END at this point. There is still the 7th seal to go.

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

The Son of man is revealed at the 6th seal. He remains in the clouds and sends His angels to gather the elect from heaven and earth. Then the 7th seal is opened and the wrath of God begins. That is the day of wrath.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Revelation 6
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

As the scripture shows the sun and moon are darkened and the stars fall from heaven at the 6th seal. That is the end of the age. But there is still the 7th seal to go..................so it is not the end.
