What? First I have no idea what a Futurist is, something that must have been created by a confused person to label someone else. Much like the Term Word of Faith was \created for certain Prosperity teachers, or those who claim we can blab it and grab it.
It might have been created so a confused group could separate themselves from those who are not confused. I don't know.
Bottom line though.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
(Mat 24:21-22)
This verse has yet come to pass. Something far worse is coming on the Earth that blows the flood away and Noah's time, and only Noah and His family made it out of all other breather things on the Earth.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
(Mat 24:34)
So that Generation that see's these things will not pass away until that 7th seal is opened. Jesus is talking about a period in time and the events that will happen in that time.
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
(Dan 12:1-2)
It does not take a whole lot of I.Q to know that believers have not been delivered from this time of trouble yet, and does not take past 3rd grade reading ability to know that man has not experienced any time Worse than the judgement and flood of Noah.
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
(2Pe 2:5)
It's not about reading one verse and being labelled some futurist and misunderstanding the verse, it's a whole lot of verses that a normal Person would understand clearly that the Generation where the World experiences worse things than the time of Noah, has not happened yet, because we are still here with everyone else.
Just when I thought you made sense in some post, thinking this guy might be sane after all, and you go and quote me and blow all those thoughts I had about you.
I might go Back and fourth with JLB, but JLB is not that confused, and I understand why He see's what He see's, I don't understand this at all.
I am also weary of this Post trib and Pre Trib discussion. it's old, and beaten, and the same arguments from the novices who don't fully understand each side, same thing year after year, just a different thread with different people.
Mike.
