Woe to the Earth! Satan has come down to earth in Great Furry he knows his time is very short! Notre Dame burns! Evil on the increase worldwide, millions of abortions, the sick minded abomination of sexual perversion, wars and rumors of wars. mho. this world will not last much longer
luke 21:28
when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Are you a ghost writer for Hal Lindsey?
The "great tribulation" my Lord Jesus taught will involve a time of world peace, not all out chaos and war. Your pre-trib rapture teachers forget to teach you what Jesus said after the wars and rumors of war Message:
Matt 24:6
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
KJV
How does one forget to cover that last phrase Jesus taught with those wars and rumors of wars? It's because the pre-trib preachers and writers don't care what Jesus said; they are instead out to make money, sell books and movies! That's why the Hal Lindsey types try to paint as dark a picture for the very end as possible, the more fantastic the better!
In 1 Thessalonians 5, Apostle Paul showed that when the deceived say, "Peace and safety", then "sudden destruction" will come upon them. The END will be a time of world peace and safety. The Book of Daniel shows the coming Antichrist comes in peacefully, with craft prospering by his hand.
"You mean jellybean that the end of this world won't be a time of all-out war and chaos?" That's right Fred. The war and chaos is to happen JUST PRIOR TO the endtime great tribulation.
Another delusion about the last half of Revelation. And the return of the Lord for His Church pertains to the Rapture and then the Second Coming, both of which are before the last half of Revelation.I believe we are now in the last half of Revelation 20 where Satan is loosed to deceive the nations once again. And the Lord could return today.
Revelation 20 describes the New Covenant era. Between Christ's first and second coming. The futurist interpretation does not hold up along side of Jesus' teaching in the gospels or along side of Paul's teaching.Another delusion about the last half of Revelation. And the return of the Lord for His Church pertains to the Rapture and then the Second Coming, both of which are before the last half of Revelation.
I'm glad you brought that up. I never studied the end times and had glossed over that Scripture that you quoted. I've never been taught any trib theories, I only know what I see with my eyes. Do you have any theories as to when the Antichrist will come upon the scene?
I tend to think that all true believers have had their fill of this dark world and we want the end to come.
Do you realize you could end up wearing the mark of the beast unknowingly? Why? Because you don't recognize what it is and are looking for its symbol to appear.Yes!! Anti-christ will fool(deceive) many of those left behind on rapture day but we born-again believers will have no doubts as we are changed into a new immortal body and are caught up (raptured)to meet Jesus in the clouds!!PTL. Why choose to be left behind???
