No Pretrib Rapture

[Fish153]

You're behaving like an NPC repeating the doctrine you've been programmed with. And you're contradicting the bible. Rev. 2:22 clearly states that those who committed adultery with Jezebel will be cast into great tribulation unless they repent.

Please read Revelation 2: 21-23 again:
"And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
"Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
"And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works". (Rev. 2: 21-23)

If you read carefully you see that the Lord casts "HER into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her..." And the Lord says he will KILL her children with death". Is SHE or her children TRUE BELIEVERS? It does not appear so. it says that the Lord "searches the reins and hearts"---he knows who truly believes, and they that do not. There is nothing in these verses that state that the WHOLE CHURCH OF THYATIRA wll go through the Tribulation. You are greatly mistaken.

Yes, that's why the dead will rise first (1 Thess. 4:16). It is written that "He" that restrains must be taken out of the way so that the Antichrist can be revealed, that's God's true church. The "gathering" is the resurrection.

That is the last day. On that Day Jesus ends all tribulation.

Don't be so sure about that, hubris could be your downfall.

I have the Spirit of Christ in me I know with certainty. My faith is His ability to keep me safe not in my abilities.

For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. (Matt. 24:24)

Was King Josiah exiled to Babylon?

No he died in battle and did not see all the evil or calamity that God brought upon Israel just as God promised Him. A similar promise to rev 3:14. Escaped through the death of the body.

Yeah, so? Actually this is the worst church among the seven, Lord Jesus has no good thing to say about them, only reproach. Yet even in this church, like the other six churches, there's still a faithful remnant - "He who has an ear, let him hear!"

The church of Philadelphia existed in the days Rev was given. Who are they now? The faithful in ALL the churches were given promises.

That is the last day. On that Day Jesus ends all tribulation.

Yes, the gathering is scheduled at the end, but the removal is right before the tribulation. How could the Antichrist be revealed at the "last day" when he had already persecuted the saints for three and a half years? The apostasy must come first. You know who's originally called the son of perdition? Judas Iscariot. In the garden of Gathsemane, when Judas led the soldiers to arrest Jesus, the disciples all fled, that gives you a microcosm of 2 Thess. 2:3.

Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. (2 Thess. 2:3-7)

I have the Spirit of Christ in me I know with certainty. My faith is His ability to keep me safe not in my abilities.

Simon Peter was as smug and confident as you at the last supper.

No he died in battle and did not see all the evil or calamity that God brought upon Israel just as God promised Him. A similar promise to rev 3:14. Escaped through the death of the body.

That's right, it doesn't mean a supernatural, alien abduction style "rapture" which so many good and faithful believers are brainwashed with, but escape through mortal death. The philadelphia church will simply die out before the Great Tribulation.

The church of Philadelphia existed in the days Rev was given. Who are they now? The faithful in ALL the churches were given promises.

Then believe in God's promise - " he who endures to the end shall be saved. "

There's a faithful remnant within every church who have "an ear to hear", including the two good churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia, are you gonna ignore all the rest and only count those remnant as true believers? Of course not the whole church will go through the tribulation, but not the whole church will be "raptured" either, the faithful remnant will simply age and die out - either naturally or unnaturally - before the great tribulation takes place. However, as long as there're unrepentent adulterers who are cast into the great tribulation, that debunks your doctrine that the "WHOLE" church be raptured. Again, a bad church is a still a church which the Lord cares about.

 

[Oseas]

"The Church was present during the tribulation" is another misleading, inaccurate, blanketed statement. The Lord himself has revealed that some will go into the great tribulation while others won't.

The gathering is on the last day. It is clear the beast, that is destroyed by a coming of the lord, makes war with the saints. If any escape the great tribulation it will be through the death of the body.

Yes, that's why the dead will rise first (1 Thess. 4:16). It is written that "He" that restrains must be taken out of the way so that the Antichrist can be revealed, that's God's true church. The "gathering" is the resurrection.

What does the Spirit of prophecy say? Isaiah 26:19 combined with Daniel 12:1-3 and Matthew 24:15&21to25, abd 1Thessalonians 4:16:
Remember, the testimony of JESUS is the Spirit of prophecy: Romans 8:9 combined with Revelation 19:10.

Isaiah 26:19 combined with Daniel 12:1-3 and 1Thessalonians 4:16- --> Resurrection of the dead
19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust:for thy dew is as the dew of herbs,and the earth shall cast out the dead.~>Daniel 12:1-3&1Thess.4:16


Isaiah 26:20 combined with Daniel 12:4-12 and 1Thessalonians 4:17: --> We which are alive and remain
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment(1290 days), until the indignation be overpast.->Daniel 12:1-3 and 10-12 combined with Matthew 24:15 & 21to25 , -->Whoso readeth, let him understand, for there 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. Then if any man shall say unto you (Pastors, and Bishops, and Evangelists, among others-Matthew 24:8-13, take a look) Lo, here is Christ(John 5:43-47, take a look, or there); believe it not, for there shall (STILL) arise false Christs, and false prophets(false preachers of the Word of GOD-ministers of Satan-2Corinthians 11:13-15), and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before.-Matthew 24:15-25.

1Thessalonians 4:17 - Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the CLOUD (the same CLOUD of Acts 1:9 and Matthew 17:5) , to meet the Lord in the AIR (High place in Christ-caught up from the current 2nd heaven(Ephesians 1:3-8) to the 3rd heaven-Luke 20:35-36 combined with 2Corinthians 12:1-4 -environment of the 3rd heaven-Luke 20:35-36 and Revelation 11:15-18): and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

What does the Spirit of prophecy say?

There's no private interpretation especially when it comes to prophecies, the only litmus test is a reality check, says not I but God through Moses in Deut. 18:21-22. What's very disappointing to me at least on this forum is that there're too many "cessationists", the kind of stiffnecks who are taught that God's only revelation is the English bible, all wonders and miracles ceased when apostle John passed away, any wonders and miracles in modern time must be trickery from the devil. That's the unforgivable sin, the one and only sin that cannot be forgiven in Jesus's era and the era to come, which is denying the power of the Holy Spirit. We of all people are called to discern the times and seasons, interpreting not the prophecies through reality, but reality through the prophecies.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. (2 Pt. 1:20)

And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’— when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him. (Deut. 18:21-22)

Carry_your_name---- I guess you are just going to ignore when Paul says "we shall ALL be changed" when addressing the church. Paul says not all shall die, but ALL shall be changed in the "twinkling of an eye". You have a poor understanding of the doctrine of the New Covenant. Your teaching mirrors (in a sense) the teaching of "purgatory". You seem to believe that part of the church will go through the Tribulation as a form of punishment, or "purifying" because they were not faithful enough when on earth. This is false. We are not "saved" by how good we are----we are saved as a gift totally based on Grace. The Judgment Seat of Christ will be where believers are rewarded, or NOT rewarded for faithfulness in their bodies------NOT IN THE TRIBULATION. You are greatly mistaken.

You're ignoring what Paul wrote in his response to the questions on resurrection - "But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies." That "change' in this context refers to nothing else but bodily resurrection, and in order to rise from the dead, death is inevitable. You're the foolish one who's ignoring that.

The Church, which represents the bride of Christ being the body of Christ through the Spiritual rebirth of John 3:3-6 by that of Romans 10:9, 10, are sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption, Ephesians 4:30, either asleep in their graves or alive at Christ coming. That day of redemption comes on the last day, John 6:40, when Christ returns and makes an end to all abominations (end to sin) as all Gods enemies will have then become the footstool of Christ, Psalms 110:1; Luke 20:42, 43 as they are destroyed forever and remembered no more and then Christ will reign here on the new earth with all the saints of God forever when this present earth and heaven pass away and God renews all things ushering down the New Jerusalem, Rev 21:1 2.

Many teach that the Church will be Raptured out of here before Gods wrath during the seven trumpets sounding (great tribulation), but according to these scriptures the body of Christ who are still alive at Christ coming will be here on earth during the time of the greatest tribulation this world has ever seen nor will ever see again, Matthew 24:21.

Act 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

Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Rev 3:5; 19:8 Jesus is showing us to look for the signs of his coming

Rev 5:13; 6:16,17 On earth and under the earth are those who are still here until the end of days

Rev 6:9-11 Note where John says fellow servants and brethren that should be killed as they were and we are in the midst of the seven seals right now heading towards the seven trumpets

Rev 7:13-17 Which came out of great tribulation; fulfillment of the gentiles

Rev 8:13 Three woes are war, earthquakes, and meteors

Rev 13:11-18 Here John is showing us about the beast out of the sea that gives power to the beast out of the earth as we are warned to not take its mark

Rev 14:14-20 The harvest of Gods Children

Rev 16:11,15 And they repented not. If Christ returns in pretrib rapture then at that time the door of Salvation will be closed.

Rev 18:23, 24 We have now come out of great tribulation as mystery Babylon has been described and destroyed as we have not yet been caught up to be with the Lord until the last day.

Rev 19:7,8 We have made ourselves ready by enduring through Gods mighty wrath and refusing the mark of the beast

Rev 20:4-6 these verses show that we went through much annihilation and endured all things before the coming of the Lord.

Rev 20:12-15 The Great White Throne judgment and Jesus judgment for the works we did or did not do for him here on earth when the books are opened

First woe
First trumpet Rev 8:6-7
Second trumpet Rev 8:8,9
Third trumpet Rev 8:10,11
Fourth trumpet Rev 8:12,13
Fifth trumpet Rev 9:1-12

Second woe
Sixth trumpet Rev 9:13 through 11:14

Third woe
Seventh trumpet Rev 11:15 through Rev 20:15 (seventh trumpet includes all the events that unfold and ends with the great white throne judgment)

 

[Scripture Says]

Carry your name said:
Vomit out my mouth" is a reference of the Babylonian exile, lukewarm, apostate Christians will be excommunicated from their comfort dwelling)

ScriptureSays:

This is an example of what is meant:

If you as a man were dating a women you would of course want her to be "hot" for you but, if not then you would want her ( your relationship) to be cold BUT NEVER would you want lukewarm, because thats a girl that comes around whenever she has nothing better to do over and over starts up again and then leaves Again.... No one wants that Not even God.... this is whats is meant..... also if the lukewarm are in his mouth then also those who are hot are too, only a believer could be In Christ in order to be vomited out.....

2peter3:20-23

1. Only one way to escape the pollutions of the world and thats thru a Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (only a believer can escape the pollutions of the world)
2. But he becomes entangled then completely overcome BACK into the pollutions of the world ( as he was before Christ)
3. Now that fallen believer is WORST off than when he was an unbeliever
4. It would of be best had he stayed an unbeliever then to believe and fall away
5. God compares the fallen believer to a dog or swine who has fallen back to his Sinful life...


How is the fallen believer worst off ?

The good And faithful servant is rewarded with being made a ruler, THATS IF...he is found doing Gods will when Christ comes.

But IF THAT SAME SERVANT is found fallen back into the pollutions of the world. he is NOW (wasnt before) appointed with the unbelievers (hes not a unbeliever) and he is cut to pieces when he is Left by Christ....

the unbeliever is given a FEW BEATINGS but the ONE WHO KNEW BETTER (to do GODS WILL - only a believer can do Gods will) but didnt do it is Now WORST off than the unbeliever cause he gets MANY BEATINGS....

Thats 3 outcomes:
Faithful believer
Unfaithful believer
Unbeliever

Listen Im not gonna go back and forth at all... that solves nothing and goes forever.

You.need to figure out why they say something that is against your belief and Teachings and not just say

They cant say that cause I dont believe it

"Vomit out" is a harsh punishment in form of banishment. When the promised land is defiled, its inhabitants are "vomited out". God is fair and impartial, he vomited out the Canaanites for their abominations, he vomited out Israel, and he'll vomit out the lukewarm church.

Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people. (Lev. 18:24-29)

 

[Scripture Says]

Savation Gods grace coupled with our Believeing on his name.

But after that your expected to give a life and temple for the Holy Spirit to dwell in by seperating yourself from your old sinful life to a new life in Christ YET believers do fall back into their old lifestyles and God qould rather you be cold to him than to come around now and then for
.... awhile..

If you dont forgive others Gods not going ro forgive you..... cant be made any simplier than this..

I can't tell are you in favor of a pretrib rapture or not? We all believe in the resurrection of the righteous. We read those left alive on earth on that day will be caught up so as to be clothed with immortality. (Imperishable bodies)
What we disagree on is anyone being pulled out and caught up before that last day. The saints/church will go through the great tribulation. The beast will make war with the saints. Jesus ends all tribulation on that last day in the great battle of God. Evil both visible and invisible is defeated on that day and the kingdoms of the whole world become the kingdom of God and His Christ.

The expression "rapture'' is a SATANIC expression used by the apostate followers of dotrines of demons-1Timothy 4:1-2 among other biblical references. Rapture is a DEMONIC expression, actually a SATANIC TARES sowed among my brothers in Christ to deceive them.

What matters and prevails is the Word of GOD, th Word is GOD, GOD Himself, the Father, self-executing. Revelation 11:15 &18:
15... The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

18 And the NATIONS were(will be) ANGRY(WRATHED), and thy WRATH(GOD'S WRATH) is come(this is and will LITERALLY be fulfiled now, even now, from NOW ON, it is the the time of unbearable pain from now on) and is the time of the dead (RESURRECTION-Daniel 12:2) , that they should be judged, and that GOD should give reward unto His servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.

GOD the Father revealed through JESUS: Revelation 11: 3 - 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, ...

How do we compare the size of the operational Power that was given to the two witnesses before now, i.e. before this current time of Apocalypse, and the Power that now is, and the Power that will be given from now on? Yeah, how to compare?

Trying to compare humanly, or by allegory, a proportional measure of the size of the operational Power that was, and is, and will be given from now on to the two witnesses, I would say, taking the size as a metric number, for example:

The Old Testament - the operational Power was 10;

The New Testament - the operational Power is 100 --> (ten times more than the OT);

and from now on, in this seventh and last Day or seventh and last millennium,
The Old Testament and New Testament, now even both, the operational Power given unto both is 1000 --> (ten times more than the Power of the NT has been until now);

The Power will be given to the true believers of the Jewish Church and Gentile Church, the two Candlesticks annointed by the oil of the two Olive trees -The Old Testament and the New Testament - ,
and "These -THE TWO CANDLESTICKS - , have power to shut heaven(to close the Dispensation of Grace-END of the current Dispensation-Matthew 24:14), that it rain not in the days of their prophecy:
and have power over waters to turn them to blood (severe punishments-> waters are peoples, and nations, and multitudes of all tongues), and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will (the time now is of Vengeance-2Thessalonians 1:7-12-take a look.

From 2025 henceforward the world as a whole will be burned with everlasting fire->2 Peter 3:7, but the true believers need not to worry-our glorious GOD guarantees -> "Isaiah 43:2 --> When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am the Lord thy GOD, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: 5 Fear not: for I am with thee.
2Peter 3:7 - But the heavens (OT and NT-Hebrews 8:13, take a look) and the earth(the current rebel Israel, the clay, the dry land), which are now, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the Day of Judgment (the Judgment Seat of Christ) and perdition of ungodly men.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Get ready - Matthew 25:6 and 10
