When Jesus said, “I go to prepare a place for you,” He was talking about our eternal home with Him (Rev 21-22), not some temporary, 7-year visit to heaven.
@soothkeep Note the words “he shall be saved out of it” (Jacob’s trouble) in Jer 30:7. It’s pretty clear that that does NOT mean Jacob (Israel) will be removed from the earth. Now apply that consistently to Rev 3:10.
Once again, I implore you to know the op when you see it.
None of this is actually about Christians. It’s a coordinated campaign of foreign influence to promote Islam.
Fight it now or be defeated by it later.
@TNTJohn1717 OK, I fact checked myself & I was wrong. Two categories can overlap & still be distinct.
But you overlook the fact that there are 2 Israels. “They are not all Israel who are of Israel” (Rom 9:6) makes sense only if there are 2 Israels.
@TNTJohn1717 “The Bible believer believes what I believe.” Not glaringly charitable.
And Jew, Gentile, and the Church are not “distinct categories,” lol. They’re overlapping categories. The church is made up entirely of Jews and Gentiles.
From the ground in Lebanon:
I have family both in Beirut and in the south.
My family in Beirut live in an area overlooking the Dahiye, Hezbollah’s stronghold. They stand on their balcony and watch Israel bomb specific Hezbollah military locations embedded within the civilian population. They see the explosions and know about it way before the news report it. They are literally standing on their balcony watching and are not worried about Israel hitting them. They sent me a video of the massive explosion when Nasrallah was killed long before I saw it on the news.
Also in the South, my relatives tell the exact same story. Israel only hits areas in which Hezbollah’s thugs have embedded themselves.
ALL sovereign Lebanese want Hezbollah defeated because Hezbollah is an extension of the IRGC and they are holding Lebanon hostage.
Time to be honest about reporting the news. Every time you attack Israel, you are hurting the chances for all the good people in the region to be liberated from the Iranian regime and from Hezbollah and from Islamists.
Please consider a more honest approach and a truthful approach about news reporting. Hezbollah is always the one instigating and they desire to destroy Israel whether Israel attacks or not.
Israel is the good guy. The others are the bad guys‼️🙏
@endtimefiles@sum_of_thy_Word@HarpazoDkl If the Bible was a jigsaw puzzle…a lot of people would be trying to add a rapture-to-heaven piece 🧩 that’s not part of the original puzzle.
No need to add that in, when it’s not in there to start with.

@endtimefiles@sum_of_thy_Word@HarpazoDkl I don’t see it as strictly chronological. You have judgment of the dead in 11:18, Armageddon in 14:20, and the day of wrath commencing in 6:17, 11:18, 14:19, 15:7 & 16:1, for example.

@endtimefiles@sum_of_thy_Word@HarpazoDkl A belief is not justified simply because it’s not ruled out. As for being implied, that’s what I was asking: why do you think it’s implied?
@endtimefiles@sum_of_thy_Word@HarpazoDkl I gather that you see a link between the wedding of the Lamb and a rapture of the church to heaven? Where does this idea of a link come from, since the Bible never mentions a rapture of the church to heaven (only that we meet Him in the air at His coming)?
Pfizer covid vaccine - the gift that just keeps giving😩
In the ER, on hour 12 of waiting for a bed to open upstairs, likely to have to have a cardio conversion. Heart went crazy again out of nowhere very early this morning. SVTs and Afib with heart rate up to 198. On a drip keeping my heart rate down, but still in Afib. Seems a second ablation is in my near future. A few doctors said “wow, been looking through your records, you’ve had a rough five years”.
Yes, I certainly have.
@endtimefiles@sum_of_thy_Word@HarpazoDkl Shouldn’t we just accept that the rapture occurs at His coming (1 Thes 4:15), and that the NT never says there are two comings, not does it ever mention a mass catching of all saints up *to heaven*?
@Cloraphoba@this_Just_in89 Both Tesla and SpaceX offer stock as part of employee compensation. So the workers at those companies do indeed own their means of production.
OT typology of POST-trib rapture:
Egypt suffers plagues.* Isr is protected in the midst of them. AFTER this time, Israel is taken out and gathered to the Lord (Ex 19:4)—just as God’s ppl will go through the GT, then be gathered to Him. Isr here typifies the church—1 Cor 10:1-6.
@soothkeep It’s completely arbitrary to say Enoch=the church, while Noah=Israel.
OT typology is when something in the OT prefigures someth in the NT. But you can’t just decide that someth in the OT prefigures someth that’s NOT in the NT. The NT makes no mention of a pretrib rapture.
@endtimefiles@HarpazoDkl I think you should be teaching, “There *could * be a pretrib rapture to heaven, but be ready to face the tribulation if there’s not.” Make sense?
@endtimefiles@HarpazoDkl Well, as a posttrib, the thing I’d like to see pretribs acknowledge is that their view is based on interpretation and reasoning, *not* plain statements in the Bible.
And interpretation can be fallible. So teaching pretrib as certainty is false assurance…
