Was there a question in any of that? I agree with it all... So why write this to me (after quoting me) if you don't know my position?
I said study the Feasts - Everything you said I agree with..
I dont know, some people like to write so they can just reread what they wrote to someone.
If you agree that the resurrection and rapture and destruction of the wicked including Antichrist occur at His coming then that is great.
Okay here is my question —
Do you believe the destruction of the Antichrist and the wicked occur before the tribulation or after?
Obviously the coming of the Lord refers to the Second Coming, which is the Day of the Lord, when He returns to Jerusalem to destroy the wicked and reign as King over the earth.
Behold, the day of the LORD is coming,
And your spoil will be divided in your midst.
For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Then the LORD will go forth
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.
And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two,
From east to west,
Making a very large valley;
Half of the mountain shall move toward the north
And half of it toward the south.
Then you shall flee through My mountain valley,
For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal.
Yes, you shall flee
As you fled from the earthquake
In the days of Uzziah king of Judah.
Thus the LORD my God will come,
And all the saints with You.
Zechariah 14:1-5
- Thus the LORD my God will come, and all the saints with You.
This is what Paul taught in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15 —
- even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
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 4:13-15
Actually the Olivet Discourse is Jesus teaching about these events from Zechariah.
