what common ground are you wanting. ? i have said repeatedly i agree with scriptures he is coming back. you keep posting the same scripture and i said i agreed. this is a timing issue.your belief we go through the tribulation .
Common ground found in scripture.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 1 Thessalonians 4:15
If we understand and agree that the resurrection and rapture occurs at His coming, then we have a common foundation with which to discuss this doctrine.
Now that we agree that the resurrection and rapture occur at His coming, now we can see when His coming occurs in relation to the tribulation.
Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
Matthew 24:3
- And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?
Answering this question is what Jesus spent two chapters describing.
Matthew 24 and 25 is all about His coming and the end of the age, and the things that take place, including the resurrection and rapture, as well as the destruction of the wicked, which was foretold by Zechariah.
