In the video, they are just addressing the need to prepare for the Christian persecution that could be coming to the United States very soon. Of course, we know it is already here. Just in varying degrees. With the hate crime laws that are being passed in an attempt to silence Bible believing preachers form preaching against sin. And all the political correctness, they are just advising the Christians to be prepared for the worst. Because we definitely do not know how bad it could get. We know that we will be caught up in the Rapture before the Great Tribulation begins, but again, we still don't how bad it could get for Bible believing Christians before the Rapture.

So in other words its a King James Only Cult production which is having a tantrum about how King James Only Bible beleivers are being arrested for standing on corners telling people they are going to hell for being sodomites.

Agricola, you need to grow up.

Your mockings and taunts don't affect me, nor do they intimidate me.

Let me ask you a question, are you doing any kind of street ministry?

Are you warning lost people about the reality of Hell? Are you going out and warning the lost that Hell is real and that it is a place of torment?

Do you care enough for the lost to warn the people at least by handing out Gospel Tracts?

Just somethings to consider. If you are not suffering as a Christian while on this earth, then you may need to examine your life and see whether or not you are truly living as a Christian according to the Holy Bible.

What about those who do not believe we will be "raptured" before the Tribulation? Now that you have let your belief be known,,I can dismiss the video without watching it. Unless I just watch it for entertainment purposes.

I believe that Gods last day people will go thru the tribulation. So,, if I believe your premise to be wrong,,the rest of the message (video) falls to the dirt before reaching my ears. But,, I'm just speaking for myself.

Ok I'll give it a spin despite the other minor destractions (kj only/pre trib debate) because this creeping totalitarianism is very real.

We absolutely do just-2, go check out my posts in this forum on the Pre-Trib. Rapture.

Here, you can click on the link below and it will take you to the exact thread where I discuss the Pre-Trib. Rapture and show why it must happen before the time of the Great Tribulation.

Oh yeah. Have read them many times. There is nothing there that gives a time for the "pretrib rapture" but if you compare these verses together they might be very enlightening. But I have found several people who simply refuse to learn...

1 Corinthians 15:52 (KJV)
[SUP]52 [/SUP]In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Revelation 8:5-6 (KJV)
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Revelation 10:7 (KJV)
[SUP]7 [/SUP]But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Revelation 11:15 (KJV)
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.


If Revelation is in chronological order, this could not take place if all Christians were "pretribulation" raptured because it occurs in the midst of the 7th trumpet. But, of course, if it is true to the Left Behind series of movies, these would be the ones left behind and come to salvation during the tribulation. But in Revelation 7:4 where the 144,000 are sealed, that takes place in the midst of the 6th seal judgment. Then they appear again in Revelation 14, but it doesn't say when during the tribulation that 1 Cor. 15:52 happens. Matt 24 says we will know the signs. And no one knows when all this will transpire except the Father Himself.

Matthew 24:36 (KJV)

[SUP]36 [/SUP]But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.


Revelation 13:7 (KJV)
[SUP]7 [/SUP]And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

One last question, for now: if Christians are going to miss all the bad stuff, why are we told so much about the sequence of events from the very beginning of sorrows?
I would also like to recommend a series of three books that deal with this subject in great detail: "Lost In Translation" by Adam Spears and John Klein.

Well while the Christians are definitely going to miss the time of Jacob's trouble since we will not be here, that does not necessarily mean that we are going to miss all the bad stuff. You see Just-2, there is Christian persecution already taking place around the globe. And it is coming to America, so we should be ready and on guard for what is about to come. We do not know how bad it could get before the Rapture, so we still need to be prepared for Christian persecution because it is already happening all over the world.

I think it is easy for Christians who live in North America to get caught up in their little bubble without taking into consideration that we have brothers and sisters in Christ all over the world, and the Christianity that they are living is most likely very foreign to the kind of Christianity you find prevalent in America.

By the way, I have heard of the "Lost in Translation" series, just never came around to picking up a copy of either one of the three.

She's talking about hoarding food. There's a lot of starving people out there right now.

Matthew 6:31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Luke 18:22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Luke 12:16
And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest.
17 He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.'
18 "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain.
19 And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."'
20 "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'

Is this the type of street ministry your in? Just curious.
