Re: Why being a Tribulation Saint is a dangerous second best choice to being Raptured.
I do a weekly Bible study with "Rapture theorist" Christians. They are nice people but I think that people cling to the Rapture theory, because they know they don't have the faith to be martyrs.

Even if the Rapture happens as OP thinks, will the "good Germans" be raptured? If they sat silent and looked the other way while their government financed the beheading of Christian saints... because Russia, because Assad etc. ...and then they voted for those same anti-Christs.. ?

Revelation 20:4 "and I saw the souls of them who had been beheaded for the withness of Jesus, and the word of God, and they lived and reigned with Christ"


 Quoting: Bir Yaqub

It is true that there are true Christians on all sides of the multi-sided rapture debate. I just pray that they all can be civil with one-another, and keep the most important thing in the forefront: that being that we are all sinners and need Yahshua(Jesus) to save us from our sins. And if we put our trust and faith in Him, we will be find no patter what happens.

Simple, really.

The idea that Pre-tribbers "cling" to the Pre-trib theory out of cowardice is a fallacy. They simply believe what the bible says. When Yahshua says He's going to go make a place for us in heaven, then return to get us and take us back with Him, we believe what He said. It's a question of faith. We have faith that He will do as He promises.

Had Yahshua said the Church must suffer through Yahweh(God's) wrath on earth for 7 years, then so be it. But He didn't say that. Instead we are told we will be saved from the hour of that temptation; saved from the hour of Yahweh's wrath. God does not intend to bring wrath down upon His children. Rather He will bring His wrath down upon an unrepentant Israel to bring them back home. And He will pour His wrath out on the unbelievers in the world, especially all the haters, for the 7 years of Daniel's 70th Week, aka the Tribulation.

Yahshua did say we will suffer tribulations as His followers. And many Christians suffer those tribulations every day, especially those who live under the tyranny of islam.

See this map: [link to www.opendoorsusa.org (secure)]

But those are tribulations with a small "t". The Tribulation with a big "T", more accurately known as "Daniel's 70th Week" or the "Time of Jacob's Trouble" is a completely different time. Jacob was Israel's name before it was changed by Yahweh to Israel. And the nation with the same name was named after him.

The "Time of Jacob's Trouble" is the time of Israel's trouble. It is not the time of the Church's trouble. The Church and Israel are not the same thing. I encourage anyone to go to Israel if they are unsure of this. Yahweh said He would bring the Israelis from their scattered tribes throughout the world back to their ancient homeland, and He kept His promise to them in 1948.

Anyone who is a true believer will be raptured when the time comes, no matter how ugly their past is. They may suffer loss at the Bema Judgment Seat, but they will be saved, if only by the skin of their teeth.

The good news is you don't have to have XYZ level of brownie points to make it to heaven at the rapture. If that were the case, none of us qualify. None of us is "good". None of us can compare to the Holiness of Yahshua.

We ONLY get there because we are taken there by the grace of God. And we should thank Him every day for His grace toward us sinners. If He wants us in heaven, we will be taken there. It's not our choice. Our choice is whether to trust In Yahshua, or not to trust in Him. The rest is up to Him, the Father, and the Ruach Ha'Kodesh(Holy Spirit). And we will just be along for the ride. I pray to be with my Savior wherever He may be. That is where I want to be.

Revelation 20:4 speaks of those I think who will come to believe during the Tribulation, the Tribulation Saints. Specifically of those who will be martyred for their belief. When Yahshua returns to the earth at the end of the Tribulation, I believe He will return with the souls of those Tribulation Martyrs and resurrect them into their glorified bodies at the beginning of His Millennial Kingdom. And then they will live and reign with Christ in His new Kingdom.

Amen.

No, it doesn't.

Think about it. Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice, once for all.

What sacrifice is going on right now, and has been ongoing, other than the Satanic abortion initiative and some pagan animal sacrifice in some regions.

Mankind in the World sacrifice their unborn children on a daily basis for the love of the world.

If abortion is struck down, what exactly is that but removal of an ungodly sacrifice?

The sacrifice within scripture doesn't claim to be a Godly thing.

LET ME REPEAT THAT....

Nor can it be, because any sacrifice today, would negate the purpose for Jesus giving His own life. It would make His death in vain. If and when the sacrifice is taken away, who do you think will take offense?


Why do you think world leaders are pushing for abortion funding? Even if America strike abortion down, the Globalist, will enshrine it as a Global right. That is what Agenda 2030/21 is all about.

Look at ~Jazz~ thread pinned right now. Realize what it means. Realize just how close we are!

A barren womb is a desolation. Same sex couples, can't produce offspring either. So is Bill Gates eugenics initiative of sterilization.

They have also re-created the Temple furniture, including the altar, the Menorah lampstand and such, and the Temple garments.

They are ready for the "Green Light" to get started building.

There's just this pesky problem of the Muhammadans who control the Temple Mount right now, and the new war that will surely follow if they are kicked off the Mount and a new Temple built on it.

But the Antichrist will come in soon and fix that problem. He can't be seen as the great 'savior' and 'peacemaker' unless he has great problems to fix, yes?

Re: Why being a Tribulation Saint is a dangerous second best choice to being Raptured.
In my almost 36yrs of Living In and With Father-God as an Ezekiel 36 Born-Again, HE Has Delivered me several times from death, Delivered me and my family from certain death, and Told me HE Would.

I have Been Constantly "Preserved Against All evil" as Jesus Says in John ch 17.

Events in my life that seemed very undesirable were later shown to be Blessings... It must be my nature to understand that God's Will Is Always Perfect, but still moan about being momentarily uncomfortable while HIS Will unfolds.


There is no danger to any Born-Again during the tribulation.

Serving Father's Will and Guided BY through Constant Witness From God The Holy Spirit is our regimen of daily living. For years we have KNOWN God would Guide others to us for the aid we can provide and protection.

There will be many resentful and bewildered Christians left to face the happenings on their own... Not choosing to Come Unto Father, they failed to Trust HIM; so they're on their own. God doesn't forget about them, HE Makes Provision; but it won't be as their expectations supposed.

It's probably not the cool-kids that decided to Trust God with all they were and ever would be. As Paul Witnessed, "Jesus Christ Came To Save Sinners, Among Whom I Am Chief!"

So many unable, unwilling to capitulate their all and surrender wholly Unto The Father!

Christ Jesus IS Coming!
The days are being shortened...
God's enemy was defeated at calvary...


To be unable to Believe and Trust that God Can and Will Preserved those who Love HIM Most, is truly very sad and a great proof of alienation from HIM...

There is no point to having Faith if you cannot Act Upon It!

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76613374


The Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon. The POPE is the most likely anti-Christ figure.

The dome on the temple mount could be the sacrifice that is taken away and the abomination would actually be the temple they plan to build and begin animal sacrifice on, which would negate the purpose for which Jesus came and fulfilled by HIS PERFECT SACRIFICE, WHICH SCRIPTURE SAYS NO ANIMAL COULD EVER MATCH.

Scripture is clear that Jesus is the only one who can atone for our sin. NO MAN CAN do what He already accomplished by offering animal sacrifice.

Christ did away with that.

A third temple with animal sacrifice, is a denial of Christ and everything He already fulfilled.

If and when a third temple is built, here on earth, it won't please God. It will anger Him.

It is very likely that it will cause tremendous upheaval and The Vatican will move it's headquarters to Jerusalem and make the claim that this is the Popes rightful seat of power.

Scripture says the temple descends out of heaven.
 Quoting: Osmium76

I think it's true that no mortal sees and understands the Word of God perfectly. We do the best we can, and ask the Lord for guidance in our studies.

I believe there are 2 temples in view in different parts of the Book of Revelation. One man-made on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during the Tribulation, and the other Yahweh(God)'s Temple in heaven, that eventually descends at the time of the New Heavens and the New Earth. And you could also mention that our bodies are also temples.

Here John is writing about the events that will happen during the Tribulation, and he is told to measure the Temple that can in no way be the Temple of God in heaven.

Revelation of John 11:1-2
1 A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, “Rise, and measure God’s temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.

The outer court of this temple has been given over to the nations of the gentiles during the 3.5 yrs that Jerusalem is overrun by the forces of the Antichrist. This could never happen in heaven or with God's Temple in heaven. This is clearly talking about a temple in Jerusalem. And it's not metaphorical, it has a definite shape and size that was to be measured. It will be a real Temple.

Then later we see God's temple in heaven:

Revelation of John 11:19
19 God’s temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.

This too is a real Temple, not a metaphorical one. And it is in heaven, and it has the Ark of the Covenant in it. This one does not have an outer court that is trampled by the Gentiles because it is in heaven, and is where Yahweh sits.

Therefore, we have seen two different temples: One in Jerusalem, and one in heaven.

Here, the Prophet Daniel writes of the coming Temple in Jerusalem that will be "trodden under foot" as we saw in Rev. 11:2 above:

Daniel 8:13
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot?

The Israelis will only re-create the "burnt offerings" at the Temple Mount. They want their Temple in part so they can resume their sacrifices to Yahweh. They do this not knowing that the Ultimate Sacrifice (Yahshua's) has already been made for them and all people, so their sacrifices will be in vain. But most of them do not yet know of their error.

"He" here is the Antichrist who will let them re-build their Temple, and then he will betray them and desecrate the Temple. It's his desire to set himself up in the Temple to be worshiped. So he will make it possible for them to rebuild it for this secret reason.

Daniel 9:27
27 He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out on the desolate.

The Antichrist will make a treaty with Israel and many nations (probably islamic nations) to allow them to rebuild their Temple on the Temple Mount. The Treaty will be for "one week", and in biblical terms that means 7 years. Halfway through that time (3.5 yrs) he will betray them and stop their sacrifices. Then he'll set up a talking image of himself in the Temple and demand that everyone on the planet worship him or his image in the Temple, upon pain of death if they do not do so. This will be the Abomination of Desolation. And, having revealed his abomination, he will turn on Israel and pour out Satan's wrath upon them. They will freak out and flee into the wilderness for 3.5 yrs, where they will be sheltered and protected by Yahweh, while the Antichrist's armies and others trample down the cithy of Jerusalem during that time.

You see, for all this to take place, there needs to be a real physical Temple on the Temple Mount during the Tribulation. It is not for Yahweh as the Israelis think, or for Yahshua. But the new Temple will be allowed and encouraged by the Antichrist so that he can come in later and defile the Temple of God on earth. The whole thing will be a set-up from the start. The Israelis will be tricked by the Antichrist to build the Temple that he will usurp for himself. I wouldn't be surprised if he even funds the project. Of course, he'll probably be using American taxpayer dollars to do so. Or whatever constitutes the prevailing global currency at that time.

Scripture has proven that there will be a Temple on the earth in Jerusalem, AND also another Temple of God in heaven during the 7 yr. Tribulation. I am not saying what man or Israel needs. Neither am I saying what scripture or God needs. I am only showing what the bible says about both of those separate temples during the End Times.

Now after this current earth and the heavens are burnt up by fire, THEN God's Temple in heaven will be found no more in scripture. I suggest it probably will be so because the heavens have now been burnt up. So everyone that believes are now together in the heavenly Holy city of God which will go by the name of 'New Jerusalem' (not your calendar, Russ). THEN a new heavens and a new earth are created, and we live happily ever after.

Revelation of John 21:1-4
1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”

Then:

Revelation of John 21:22
I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.

Amen

No worries. Glad you are sharing scripture. It really helps define things as long as it is in the correct context.

Scripture validates scripture, but it isn't always easy to pinpoint. Then, some people affix to it their own interpretation rather than adding clarity without supposition.

Being educated in the use of words helps a lot. Reading comprehension goes a long way.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of ill educated people, who fail to understand what is being said, because of that.

It seems that you assume that someone who is a Pre-trib rapture believer somehow has less faith than someone who is not a Pre-trib rapture believer. It seems that you are saying that a Pre-tribber is unable to believe and trust that God can preserve them. I think this view is an error.

I believe in the Pre-trib rapture because of my understanding of what the bible says, and because of my understanding of the other rapture positions. It has nothing to do with my belief in the perseverance of the saints. I believe Yahshua said we will have tribulations in this life. We collectively as Christians do have tribulations on this planet, as fellow believers are being martyred every day in Mohammadland. Do our brothers and sisters in Christ need perseverance and preservation right now today? Yes they do. They don't need to wait for the Time of Jacob's Trouble. Their faith is being tested right now today. If one of them believes in the Pre-Trib rapture while they are busy hiding from murdering Muslims who are searching for them in their villages, will you question their faith that God can, and will, and is preserving them right now?

The question of preservation of the saints through their daily trials and tribulations should not be conflated with the Time of Jacob's Trouble and God's wrath that will be poured out on those who dwell upon the earth at that time. Christians have been preserved throughout the ages. That's why we still exist today. They will not need to be preserved into the Time of Jacob's Trouble because they are not unbelievers from the House of Jacob, and they are not unbelievers who will suffer the Wrath of God.

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is a good analogy, I think. Yahweh could have preserved Lot by protecting him and his family in their house as the fire & brimstone rained down and destroyed Sodom. But He didn't do that. He instead sent His angels to descend from heaven and go out and get Lot and his family, then physically remove them from the city, sending them off to safety while they rained destruction down upon that city, thoroughly destroying it. Instead of preserving Lot and his family through the firestorm, God rescued them out of the time of it's destruction. Should we question Lot's faith and perseverance because God chose to save him and his family by taking them out of the hour of Sodom's destruction? Should Lot have stayed behind in Sodom to prove his faith? Should we say that by going with the angels that Lot was alienating himself from God instead of sticking around to prove he was worthy by faith of being preserved through the destruction of Sodom? No, we should not. "May God's will be done." That's what we should say.

Likewise, if Yahweh wants His children to be preserved through the Time of Jacob's Trouble, then we will be. And if you are a true believing Christian, you will keep the faith no matter what happens to you, whether now or later. But, if Yahweh decides to remove us like He did with Lot and his family, then so be it. It's God's choice, not ours. One's faith doesn't change depending on what God does with us. Our job is to keep the faith no matter what our understanding is, no matter what happens to us. Don't judge our faith by the actions that God will or will not take concerning things that have not yet happened, based on your understanding of the matter, which could be in error.

Our understanding is not clear on everything, so we read the bible, we pray about it, and we do the best we can with our limited mortal understanding. Everything will be done per God's will in the end anyway, so no worries.

Let's look forward with our lamps trimmed to the return of our Master and Savior Yahshua, instead of looking for the arrival of the Antichrist. That is our Blessed Hope!

Have faith that God will take care of things, and so will I.

Maranatha!

Re: Why being a Tribulation Saint is a dangerous second best choice to being Raptured.

No, it doesn't.

Think about it. Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice, once for all.

What sacrifice is going on right now, and has been ongoing, other than the Satanic abortion initiative and some pagan animal sacrifice in some regions.

Mankind in the World sacrifice their unborn children on a daily basis for the love of the world.

If abortion is struck down, what exactly is that but removal of an ungodly sacrifice?

The sacrifice within scripture doesn't claim to be a Godly thing.

LET ME REPEAT THAT....

The sacrifice within scripture doesn't claim to be a Godly thing.

Nor can it be, because any sacrifice today, would negate the purpose for Jesus giving His own life. It would make His death in vain. If and when the sacrifice is taken away, who do you think will take offense?


Why do you think world leaders are pushing for abortion funding? Even if America strike abortion down, the Globalist, will enshrine it as a Global right. That is what Agenda 2030/21 is all about.

Look at ~Jazz~ thread pinned right now. Realize what it means. Realize just how close we are!

Maybe it is YOU who can't discern what scripture means.

Some of what I say is speculation, but it is based upon actual events, which are unfolding right now.

I could be wrong. I admit that.
 Quoting: Osmium76


Your wrong.
It’s very clear there will be a third temple built.
Oh and BTW, the tribe has already re created the red Hefner needed for the sacrifice and the gov of the Zionist state have the ability to re build the temple in three weeks. They already have it completed in pieces and they can construct it in less than a month.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78567256

They have also re-created the Temple furniture, including the altar, the Menorah lampstand and such, and the Temple garments.

They are ready for the "Green Light" to get started building.

There's just this pesky problem of the Muhammadans who control the Temple Mount right now, and the new war that will surely follow if they are kicked off the Mount and a new Temple built on it.

But the Antichrist will come in soon and fix that problem. He can't be seen as the great 'savior' and 'peacemaker' unless he has great problems to fix, yes?

osuper

Of course no one knows for sure yet just who the Antichrist will be.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76613374


The Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon. The POPE is the most likely anti-Christ figure.

The dome on the temple mount could be the sacrifice that is taken away and the abomination would actually be the temple they plan to build and begin animal sacrifice on, which would negate the purpose for which Jesus came and fulfilled by HIS PERFECT SACRIFICE, WHICH SCRIPTURE SAYS NO ANIMAL COULD EVER MATCH.

Scripture is clear that Jesus is the only one who can atone for our sin. NO MAN CAN do what He already accomplished by offering animal sacrifice.

Christ did away with that.

A third temple with animal sacrifice, is a denial of Christ and everything He already fulfilled.

If and when a third temple is built, here on earth, it won't please God. It will anger Him.

It is very likely that it will cause tremendous upheaval and The Vatican will move it's headquarters to Jerusalem and make the claim that this is the Popes rightful seat of power.
 Quoting: Osmium76

I do think the RCC is the Whore of Babylon. But I suspect a Pope will most likely become the False Prophet, the cheerleader miracle-worker for the Antichrist.

Since AD30 or so (and often long before) Israel has been making bad choices and mistakes about spiritual things, so it would be no surprise to me that they continue to do so up until the very end when their real Messiah actually returns.

And yes it is a terrible insult to their Messiah that they will continue to reject Him, and instead make animal sacrifices to Yahweh instead of accepting the final sacrifice of the life of their Messiah. The bible does not just speak about what should be done, but instead reveals what will be done, regardless of whether the action is right or wrong. Fortunately the bible will usually clarify to us what is wrong and what is right.

I don't think rebuilding the Temple is necessarily wrong, but sacrificing animals is certainly terribly wrong! Nevertheless, they will do it anyway as they still reject Messiah. If I was running that re-build project, I think I would probably delete the altar and put up a cross in it's place. That would seem more appropriate.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Vatican tries to get involved with a future Temple project. I think they will be in lock-step with the future Satan-possessed Antichrist who will seize the Temple and set himself up in it, in the Holy of Holies, and demand that everyone in the world worship him.

And that is where the NWO is headed. Setting up this eventuality is the End Game for them; their sole reason for being- to bring the world under his heel, and to unite the world against the Return of the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Re: Why being a Tribulation Saint is a dangerous second best choice to being Raptured.
Irenaeus was taught by Polycarp, the last living connection to the Apostles

Irenaeus of Lyons AD 130 - 202


Chapter XXVIII 28

...And for this cause tribulation is necessary for those who are Saved, that having been after a manner broken up, and rendered fine, and sprinkled over by the patience of the Word of God, and set on fire [for purification], they may be fitted for the royal banquet...


Chapter XXIX 29

And therefore, when in the end the Ekklesia shall be suddenly caught up from this, it is said, "There shall be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning, neither shall be." For this is the last contest of the righteous, in which, when they overcome they are crowned with incorruption.


My commentary of the excerpt of the above commentary.

He is referencing being caught up at the end of the Tribulation, which is easily shown by looking at more of what he says following.

Chapter XXX. 30:1-4

He begins by refuting the idea that 616 is the number of the man of sin, the wicked one

which brings us to the fourth point of this chapter.

4. But he indicates the number of the name now, that when this man comes we may avoid him, being aware who he is: the name, however, is suppressed, because it is not worthy of being proclaimed by the Holy Spirit. For if it had been declared by Him, he (Antichrist) might perhaps continue for a long period. But now as "he was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the abyss, and goes into perdition," as one who has no existence; so neither has his name been declared, for the name of that which does not exist is not proclaimed. But when this Antichrist shall have devastated all things in this world, he will reign for three years and six months, and sit in the temple at Jerusalem; and then the Lord will come from heaven in the clouds, in the glory of the Father, sending this man and those who follow him into the lake of fire; but bringing in for the righteous the times of the kingdom, that is, the rest, the hallowed seventh day; and restoring to Abraham the promised inheritance, in which kingdom the Lord declared, that "many coming from the east and from the west should sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."


that when this man comes we may avoid him

we, not they, tribulation saints as pre-tribbers call them




1. If, however, any shall endeavour to allegorize [prophecies] of this kind, they shall not be found consistent with themselves in all points, and shall be confuted by the teaching of the very expressions [in question]. For example: "When the cities" of the Gentiles "shall be desolate, so that they be not inhabited, and the houses so that there shall be no men in them and the land shall be left desolate." "For, behold," says Isaiah, "the day of the Lord cometh past remedy, full of fury and wrath, to lay waste the city of the earth, and to root sinners out of it." And again he says, "Let him be taken away, that he behold not the glory of God." And when these things are done, he says, "God will remove men far away, and those that are left shall multiply in the earth." "And they shall build houses, and shall inhabit them themselves: and plant vineyards, and eat of them themselves." For all these and other words were unquestionably spoken in reference to the resurrection of the just, which takes place after the coming of antichrist, and the destruction of all nations under his rule; in [the times of] which [resurrection] the righteous shall reign in the earth, waxing stronger by the sight of the Lord: and through Him they shall become accustomed to partake in the glory of God the Father, and shall enjoy in the kingdom intercourse and communion with the holy angels, and union with spiritual beings; and [with respect to] those whom the Lord shall find in the flesh, awaiting Him from heaven, and who have suffered tribulation, as well as escaped the hands of the Wicked one. For it is in reference to them that the prophet says: "And those that are left shall multiply upon the earth," And Jeremiah the prophet has pointed out, that as many believers as God has prepared for this purpose, to multiply those left upon earth, should both be under the rule of the saints to minister to this Jerusalem, and that [His] kingdom shall be in it, saying, "Look around Jerusalem towards the east, and behold the joy which comes to thee from God Himself. Behold, thy sons shall come whom thou hast sent forth: they shall come in a band from the east even unto the west, by the word of that Holy One, rejoicing in that splendour which is from thy God. O Jerusalem, put off thy robe of mourning and of affliction, and put on that beauty of eternal splendour from thy God. Gird thyself with the double garment of that righteousness proceeding from thy God; place the mitre of eternal glory upon thine head. For God will show thy glory to the whole earth under heaven. For thy name shall for ever be called by God Himself, the peace of righteousness and glory to him that worships God. Arise, Jerusalem, stand on high, and look towards the east, and behold thy sons from the rising of the sun, even to the west, by the Word of that Holy One, rejoicing in the very remembrance of God. For the footmen have gone forth from thee, while they were drawn away by the enemy. God shall bring them in to thee, being borne with glory as the throne of a kingdom. For God has decreed that every high mountain shall be brought low, and the eternal hills, and that the valleys be filled, so that the surface of the earth be rendered smooth, that Israel, the glory of God, may walk in safety. The woods, too, shall make shady places, and every sweet-smelling tree shall be for Israel itself by the command of God. For God shall go before with joy in the light of His splendour, with the pity and righteousness which proceeds from Him.

The idea that Pre-tribbers "cling" to the Pre-trib theory out of cowardice is a fallacy. They simply believe what the bible says. When Yahshua says He's going to go make a place for us in heaven, then return to get us and take us back with Him, we believe what He said. It's a question of faith.

flo6awbow Thanks OP, that's a very well written article and well worth reading and saving.

A Post-Rapture Survival Guide

The purpose of this manual is twofold:
First of all, it is to warn those who receive this manual prior to the rapture of the events that will take place in the last days as foretold in the Bible. Based on what the Bible has to say about future events, nobody in their right mind would want live on earth after the rapture. Hopefully, many will read, believe, seek God, repent and be saved. Salvation is very simple, so simple to attain, in fact, that most people cannot accept its simplicity; thereby reject it completely. However, it is complex because it is life-changing and based on that which we cannot see; it is based on faith. Simple, because Jesus does all the work. If you want to be saved and have eternal life, simply pray in belief and humility to Lord Jesus:
"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and ask you to forgive me of my sins and prepare for me a new heart. I surrender my life to you."

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78016659

They can search high and low for the cornerstone, but they will not find it. For Yahshua Ha'Machiach (Jesus Christ) Himself is the Chief Cornerstone.

One theory as to the placement of the next Temple suggests they should put it directly west of the Eastern(Golden) Gate. If they do this, then they can build it without tearing down the other structures usurping and defiling the Temple Mount. They might choose to do that for a political compromise.

Of course it will take the efforts of the Antichrist (Satan's boy) to make even that happen. But that's what treaties(covenants) are for.

One interesting note is that if the Temple is built north of the Muslim structures and west of the Eastern Gate, there does not appear to be enough room for the outer court. And the bible does make mention of this issue:

Revelation 11:1-2

1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

So he replied, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

For this reason,

They are before the throne of God

and serve Him day and night in His temple;

and the One seated on the throne

will spread His tabernacle over them.

Never again will they hunger,

and never will they thirst;

nor will the sun beat down upon them,

10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

An hour represents a period of time. In this case it will be for 7 years.

The 7 yr Tribulation then begins (1 Thess. 5:1-11 immediately after Paul’s discussion of the rapture in ch. 4:13-18 he then describes what comes next: the Day of the Lord, sudden destruction, no escape for those people who live in darkness. We are to watch for His rapture and be sober, knowing that we are not appointed to His wrath. That whether we be alive or dead at the time of His rapture, we will then live together with Him. Where will we live with Him? John 14:1-3 in His “Father’s House” in heaven during the Tribulation; Isa 26:20 “Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast”)

Luke 21:36
36 Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

The 4 gospels and Revelation show a sequence of events that primarily shows Israel and what happens to it. The Olivet Discourse was addressed to the nation of Israel. If you want to read of Yahshua(Jesus) talking about His Church, you need to look at the Upper Room Discourse.

The first 3 chapters of Revelation do talk about the Church, but after the angel of the Lord tells Paul to "Come up here", then the remainder of Revelation no longer talks about the Church on earth. Although I do think it makes a reference to the Church in heaven at that time with the reference to the 24 elders.

There is a difference between the word 'tribulation' and the word 'Tribulation'. The former is something that we believers must endure in our daily lives, especially those unfortunate enough to live in the Muslim world where they are being martyred as we write this. The latter is referring to the 7 yr Tribulation, also known as Daniel's 70th Week and the "Time of Jacob's Trouble." It is spelled with a big "T". It's important not to conflate the two.

But if it will make it more understandable, we can just call that time in the Book of Revelation as the 'Time of Jacob's Trouble', which lasts 7 yrs. It is a special time, not related to our daily tribulations, but it is rather related to, well, the 'Time of Jacob's Trouble'. Who was Jacob? God later changed his name to 'Israel'. And the nation of Israel later took it's name from him.

And the time of this trouble? The 70th Week of Daniel, which will last for 7 yrs. This is a time of trouble for the nation of Israel that will last for 7 yrs. It is not the 'Time of the Church's Trouble', it is the time of Israel's trouble. And it is also the time of trouble for the rest of the unbelieving world as well.

Paul was the primary Apostle to the Gentiles. He loved his Israeli kin, and tried to convert them whenever he could, but his main focus was on the Church, especially later in his career after Israel had proven to him that they would continue to reject their Messiah.

Yahshua(Jesus) came to preach to Israel. He was teaching a Kingdom message. His main focus was correcting the faith of Israel, and letting them know their Messiah had come, and would have to die for all people. That was His message. If Israel had accepted their Messiah, I think the Kingdom would have soon come after that. But they didn't accept Him, thus fulfilling the prophecies of His death and sacrifice.

Yahshua told his disciples that He had much more to teach them, but that they were not ready to hear it yet. He told them to wait for the Holy Spirit to come. He then was hung on the cross and did not get to continue those lessons Himself. But later He did send someone to complete those lessons, and that someone was the Apostle Paul. And Paul said that Yahshua's message of salvation was good for everyone, even the Gentiles. And most of what Paul wrote, was directed toward Gentiles. Fortunately, as believers we cease to be Israeli or Gentile, but become a new creature in Christ. We become the Bride of Christ. The old divisions are done away with as we are united in Christ. And this begins the Church Age.
