And as I've stated plainly multiple times.. Rev 4-20 describes this day to the letter.. and it's not a fairy tale as you say.. but the literal and actual things which shall be hereafter..
Of course the other side of your mouth says that it's here and now.. but anyone can see how absurd that is.
Are we really talking about the same things here?
You see that DAY as only GOOD.
I don't.
Wrath and the execution of RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS are certainly on the ledgers for THAT DAY.
If you want to say that is 'only good' I would see the end result to be such, but there is that wrath and judgments on the table to view as well.
There will be no 'sinners' being 'caught up' to Heaven nor will any LIAR enter therein. This fact DEMANDS a 'separation' for us all. A 'putting off' of those things that will NOT enter and a PUTTING ON of the Eternal Habitation.
I'd like to think it so easy as a twinkle twinkle, but could also point to the fact that there WILL be tribulation, for each of us:
Acts 14:22
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith,
and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
This might speak to a bit of a bumpy ride in some eyes.
Hebrews 12:26
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying,
Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
Hebrews 12:27
And this word,
Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of
things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Jude 1:5
I will therefore
put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord,
having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
Isaiah 10:23
For
the Lord GOD of hosts
shall make a consumption, even determined,
in the midst of all the land.
Isaiah 28:22
Now therefore
be ye not mockers,
lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts
a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
