@GodPenuel @zoomafrika1 You will regret these words greatly one day. Almighty God is not to be mocked.
"For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." ~ Romans 14:11
@ChriscentU@usanewshq If you think, Jesus Christ is ONLY for a certain group of people, you are sorely mistaken. Do not let this hate fester in your heart, it is not what the Almighty wants for you.
Jesus died on the cross for all who believes in him - that includes Africans, Europeans, Asians - ALL!!
@elonmusk This will only work in some cases...maybe far into the future, but for now.. Financial systems, Medical devices, industrial controls needs predictable behaviour & auditable behaviour. E.g. Trading can't tolerate inference and neural rendering will drain batteries quickly
ARE YOU READY TO BE CAUGHT UP?
7 Reasons the Pretrib Rapture Stands on Solid Ground
āø»
ā 1. A Clear and Literal Rapture Is Taught in Scripture
1 Thessalonians 4:16ā17
āThe Lord himself will descend from heaven⦠and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive⦠will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.ā
1 Corinthians 15:51ā52
āWe shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed⦠in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.ā
John 14:2ā3
āI go to prepare a place for you⦠I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.ā
ā¶ļø The word harpazÅ (ācaught upā) means to seize or snatch away suddenly. These are not Second Coming verses, but promises of a sudden gathering to Christ in the airānot on earth.
āø»
ā 2. The Church Will Be Removed Before Godās Wrath Is Poured Out
1 Thessalonians 1:10
āJesus⦠delivers us from the wrath to come.ā
1 Thessalonians 5:9
āFor God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.ā
Romans 5:9
āMuch more⦠shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.ā
ā¶ļø The entire 7-year Tribulation is the unleashing of divine wrath (Rev. 6:17 ā āThe great day of His wrath has comeā).
āø»
ā 3. The Tribulation Is the āTime of Jacobās Troubleā ā Not the Churchās
Jeremiah 30:7
āAlas! That day is so great there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob; yet he shall be saved out of it.ā
Zechariah 13:8ā9
āTwo-thirds shall be cut off⦠and I will bring the third into the fire⦠they will call upon my name.ā
ā¶ļø āJacobā is Israel, not the Church. The Tribulation is a time of judgment and purification for the Jewish nation, leading to national repentance (Zech. 12:10).
āø»
ā 4. The Church and Israel Have Distinct Identities and Roles
Daniel 9:24
āSeventy weeks are decreed for your people and your holy cityā¦ā
Romans 11:25ā27
āA partial hardening has come upon Israel⦠until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.ā
Ephesians 3:5ā6
āThe mystery⦠is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs⦠partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.ā
ā¶ļø The 70th week of Daniel is specifically for Israel, not the church.
āø»
ā 5. Foreshadowed by Past Raptures and Removals Before Judgment
ā¢Enoch walked with God and was taken (Gen. 5:24)
ā¢Noah was shut in before the flood (Gen. 7:16)
ā¢Lot was removed from Sodom before destruction (Gen. 19:22 ā āI cannot do anything until you arriveā)
ā¢Elijah was taken up to heaven alive (2 Kings 2:11)
ā¢Philip was supernaturally transported (Acts 8:39ā40)
ā¢John heard āCome up hereā (Rev. 4:1) ā a foreshadowing of the Church being taken up
āø»
ā 6. The Blessed Hope Is Meant to Encourage
Titus 2:13
āWaiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.ā
1 Thessalonians 4:18
āTherefore encourage one another with these words.ā
Revelation 3:10
āBecause you have kept my word⦠I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world.ā
ā¶ļø Believers are not waiting for the Antichristābut for Jesus Christ. The Rapture is called a āblessed hopeā.
āø»
ā 7. Early Church Fathers Alluded to a Pretrib View
ā¢Irenaeus (c. 180 AD) ā Against Heresies 5.29.1
āWhen in the end the Church shall be suddenly caught up from this, it is said, āThere shall be tribulation such as has not been since the beginningā¦āā
ā¢Ephraim the Syrian (c. 373 AD) ā On the Last Times
āAll the saints and elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lordā¦ā
ā¢The Shepherd of Hermas (late 1st or early 2nd century)
āIf you prepare yourself⦠you shall escape it, and not be consumed by it.ā
@bigmadredhatter Clearly you have learnt NOTHING! AND definetly have not read the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelations....because that is not the meaning of the statue and Daniel's dream.
Always interesting to see how people change the context of the Bible to suite their narrative.
@The_Reality_1@RiebvJanbeeck Read againāļø..Creator of the Heavens and Earth...and created you.
"I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me." ~ Isaiah 45:5
I can quote several other Bible verses, but I truly pray you will find Jesus Christ!
@The_Reality_1@RiebvJanbeeck Scientists are lying, yes.
You can call our 'genes' whatever you want. Science is nothing compared to the Creator of the Heavens and Earth.
@autocorrect2_0 Only Jesus Christ can save you.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." ~ John 14:6 (KJV)
