“Loved ones, let us love one another, for love is from God.
Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”🌺🤍🌷
The rapture isn’t the Blessed Hope, the return of Jesus is.
Those who died in Christ will rise first and then those still alive will be caught up.
This is making the timing of the rapture a salvation issue in my opinion.
@Matthew56193629 I agree with this about the sheep and goat judgement.
And I honestly don’t like arguing about the timing the rapture anymore, but I guess I was surprised to see this being presented as a salvation issue. I have much love and respect for my pretrib brethren, even if we disagree.
@Matthew56193629 So no one whose name is not found in the book of life is hiding before the 6th seal then, you agree? It’s at the 6th seal when they go into hiding, because they know God’s wrath is coming at this point.
And I’ll look at your chart. Thanks!
@Matthew56193629 Actually, they are not hiding under the mountains until the 6th seal. Seals 1-5, those whose names are not found in the book of life are living life as normal.
@Matthew56193629 I do believe there will be a rapture, before God’s wrath is poured out.
As for the definition of the Blessed Hope, I’m sticking to Scripture. It’s not the rapture but the return of Christ in His glory.
@_jonbowlin Jesus will be ruling the nations with a rod of iron and will strike down nations. Scripture in Revelation cannot be any clearer.
Allegorizing/spiritualizing away the Bible is a wide road to destruction.
These two Iranians were hanged this morning: Omid Behzad. Pouria Safvat.
The regime told their family not to talk to Media, keep quiet if you don’t want them to die. And now Two lives, ended. No announced arrest date. No trial date. Just "confessions." We know exactly how those confessions are taken.
The charge: working for Mossad. That's what they say about everyone who demands freedom. Mossad. CIA. The enemy. It's always the same script, label them a spy so the world looks away. When they send assassins in front of my house, they use the same script.
These young people just wanted to have a normal life, to have freedom.
Getting hanged for protesting. Getting hanged for demanding freedom. This has become the new normal and the world is watching it happen.
We don't deserve to be behind bars for wanting to be free. We don't deserve to open our doors and find assassins and killers standing outside.

Throughout his long exile in Babylon, Daniel prayed daily before an open window facing Jerusalem—a city in ruins—refusing to let a lifetime in Babylon silence his groan for Zion. So are we to live.
