Is a believer harden against Christ?
Does a believer worship anyone other than our Lord?
If you believe that Matthew 24 is talking about a future tribulation, what did Jesus say. Flee, don't believe false prophets. Why? Because He (Jesus) will not be standing on this earth at that time.
So tell me how a false prophet can fool a believer into worshiping him?
It wouldn't be a matter of fooling, it would be a matter of choosing.
Say I am wrong about Matthew 24 having taken place in 70AD does it really make a difference?
Jesus was not on the earth in 70AD and He isn't on earth during the 7 yrs. in Revelation.
So why would any believer worship any man during that time?
But my questions were directed to someone who believes in a pretrib rapture. Why is it crucial that one believes in a pretrib rapture.
U believe mathew 24 is talking about a event that happened already.
But how is that possible? Seeing that the powers of heaven were not yet shaken in all of earth history.
Now me and u can go back and forth about what we believe is correct concerning the scriptures but I don't desire to do that. My point and the reason I answered the last post was because of pride and hardness of heart.
Let me make it cleAr what I mean by pride and hardness of heart.
A lot of people who believe what u believe are so convinced they are correct concerning scriptures that they completely ignore the scripture that says the scriptures is for reproof and correction. Some of them feel like because they went to bible school or learned it from some famous pastor (not saying this is who told u this interpretation of mathew 24) they believe they are not wrong and it's not possible in their mind for their interpretation of scripture to be wrong.
That hardness is what is dangerous because if the mark of the beast come some will take it because of what they believe the scriptures to be .
Now many of u will say to me "what's the difference? Don't u believe your interpretation of scripture is true!!"?
The difference between my interpretation of scripture and others is I tell u all to try the words! I tell you all scriptures that reaffirms the interpretation I am telling u all.
Not one or two scriptures but many .
For example this is how i would contest the interpretation of scripture concerning what u say about mathew 24 that many would get offend at me about or just can't answer the question and come up with something that has nothingto do with the verse I'm referring to.
Matt 24:29-30 immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darken and the moon shall not give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken 30: and then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn.......
To all pretrib believers tell me when in history of the earth was at the same time the heavens being shaken all the tribes of earth mourning with asteroids falling from the sky while the sun is darken an the moon not giving her light?
There is not a man who can say this event happened and if he does he is lying and y'all know it.
But I'm not trying to turn this into a long debate over pretrib and post trib believers
All im saying to you and the rest of u who believe this is look In the scriptures but not with pride but a humble heart
I'm not perfect I'm not always right in fact this is not my interpretation of it but Christ words I'm saying to u and the meaning of it.
Do I know all of the meanings of the words of Christ no.
But this I know for a fact because of who told me. Not man or pastor but the living gods
