User ID: 79464842 United States 02/05/2022 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Please try to understand my logic. I don't think the MOTB is just about labeling people that worship the beast. Although I could be wrong. Quoting: Stella Vanella I think if you get the MOTB it physically keeps you from being raptured. I don't think rapture takes you to heaven. I think it just puts you on the sea of glass where you are protected during the wrath. Because it also says the 144,000 are sealed. This keeps them from being raptured but also keeps them from being harmed by wrath. That's just my theory. But there has got to be some reason the MOTB happens. The Mark of the Beast isn't just an identification for Satan-worshipers during the Tribulation. It is that, but it's also a mark of ownership by the Antichrist, and by extension Satan. It's a slave mark. It's to let everyone know, including God, that you are Satan's slave, pawn, and faithful servant. It's also a control mechanism. You will not be able to participate in the NWO's "great" "open" society, economy, etc. without your slave mark. Once the Antichrist and his NWO consolidate power around the world, and the Christians are gone, it will be his world then, and will only be welcome to Satan's slaves. All of 'the hesitant' will be purged by the NWO. It's all or nothing with Satan and his globalist and Communist minions. They are All In. Never forget that.

When he goes down, he wants to drag everyone down in flames with him. Everyone that takes the Mark of the Beast will be lost and will no longer be eligible for Salvation. And Satan wants everyone to worship him instead of God, and to be stuck with him with no chance of ever returning to God. His Mark will do that. His Mark will ID his worshiper slaves, and be the readily-visible control ID to force people to either join his team or lose their head. And it will be the one thing that can keep humans out of heaven.

So believers today will be whisked away to heaven before the main event of the Tribulation kicks off with the breaking of the First Seal of God's judgment and wrath upon this fallen world. And the First Seal will be the 1st of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Horseman on the White Horse, the one we call the Antichrist. These things happen in order. For those unbelievers who will be left behind, he comes pretending to bring peace. But it'll be a false peace that leads to betrayal and global war where hundreds of millions or more will die as he consolidates his NWO grip over the planet.

Therefore, it is not their place to be included in the rapture. They are not a part of the Church. They come after the Church is gone, and they have a specific End-Times mission to show people the Way during the Tribulation. And their mission cannot be stopped, that's why God will seal them against the coming persecution & genocide of the Antichrist.

That is really what the population reduction goal of the Georgia "Guidestones" is all about.

Other truths are more challenging and require us to look at the whole chapter, book, or bible in order to fully grasp the concepts. When any one verse dealing with a particular doctrinal issue appears to stand apart from other similar truths, we should suspect that there may be an interpretive or possibly a translational issue involved that needs further research. I believe the doctrine of the rapture is one such difficult truth. The word 'rapture' itself is not listed in the English bible. But it is listed in the Latin Vulgate bible, written by Jerome in the early 400's AD. The word there is 'raeptius' or 'rapturo' , which translated into English means 'rapture'. It is found here in the English bible: 1 Thessalonians 4:17 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. In English bibles, 'raeptius' or 'rapturo' is transliterated into 'caught up'. That happens sometimes during the translation process to try to communicate the point more familiarly. The original Thessalonian manuscripts however were written in Greek. There were actually no 'English' words at all in the original bibles, including the word 'bible' itself. And the original Greek word for 'rapture' is listed in English script as 'harpazo', which means 'to rapture up into the air', or to 'snatch away'. It was this original Greek term 'harpazo' that Jerome later translated into Latin as 'raptus' or 'raeptius', which was later translated into English as 'rapture'.

Quoting: Stella Vanella I think if you get the MOTB it physically keeps you from being raptured. I don't think rapture takes you to heaven. I think it just puts you on the sea of glass where you are protected during the wrath. Because it also says the 144,000 are sealed. This keeps them from being raptured but also keeps them from being harmed by wrath. That's just my theory. But there has got to be some reason the MOTB happens. Nice to see a critical thinker. He does it mainly because God's people also have a mark on their hand and in their forhead. Of course Satan is a copy cat, he just turns everything to the exact opposite. Exo 13:6 KJV Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD. Exo 13:7 KJV Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters. Exo 13:8 KJV And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. Exo 13:9 KJV And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD'S law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt. Also see Exodus 31:13, Deuteronomy 6:8, 11:18, 28:46. Search the book of Ezekeil for the word "mark". There are other script, just getting you started. Cheers... . It's wonderful how one can pick and choose passages from the bible to fit the narrative they are trying to get across. Each book is written at different times and by different people.(PEOPLE, MAN, Homo sapiens), those books where found and organized together by man, some of the books were left out completely. All of them were translated from one language to another. These books have not been around since the beginning of time, only time as we know it. There were others that were worshiped before Jesus and all other things we know about. We all need to believe in something, just as long as that belief doesn't make one so righteous it turns into hate. The books of the bible are a great read and have a great value, but they were in a very different time without the same understanding we have today. Pro 15:2 KJV The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. . 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. |
