Does Matthew 24 contain "Rapture Language"?

"

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. ~ Revelation 19:19-20

And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. ~ Revelation 19:21

This - IS - the marriage supper - LITERALLY.

...not the table-and-chair-and-fine-silverware ceremony-in-heaven picture that most people imagine - and is the direct-outcome and end-result of the battle of Armageddon itself.

The 'Marriage of the Lamb' and the 'Marriage Supper' are NOT "ceremonies in heaven" - the essence and significance of them rests in the manner of the execution of the events that happen after Christ comes back. EVERYTHING that is connected to the 'Marriage of the Lamb' takes place "right here on / at / above / around planet earth" -- and is represented - not in ceremonies - but rather, events.





We do not return from anywhere - because we do not go anywhere. 'We' don't "make war" with anyone. Jesus does (righteously) - and it is He alone who will "smite the nations"...

I don’t see it like that, that’s not the marriage supper of the lamb that’s war.the marriage supper of the lamb is before the war

9After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

13And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Here we are standing before the throne, and before the Lamb after coming out of great tribulation.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

That be us bro, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.AFTER standing before the throne, and before the Lamb after coming out of great tribulation.

If we don’t go anywhere what we doing standing before the throne, and before the Lamb


Who said we do not return from anywhere - because we do not go anywhere??

 

[Scribe]

There is a Changing in the twinkling of an eye, rising in an immortal body to meet the Lord in the air. We all agree with that. When and exact timing and details about tribulation confuse people but never loose hope in the promise of the rapture (faster way to refer to the event)

The Great Tribulation. Is the Great Tribulation the last 3 1/2 years? The final trumpet (#7) is that the trumpet where Paul says at the last trump of jesus will descend...?" If this is the case than believers are not here for the wrath, but are here for at least the first 3 1/2 years? What starts the whole 7 year tribulation? I heard it was the 7 year treaty with Israel that is made or confirmed by the antichrist. Then half way is the Abomination of Desolation. Is that right?

I thought I would leave this, so maybe someone else could answer, it but thats not the case


I don’t know where Christians they get a 7 year tribulation from


There is no 7 year tribulation just 3 ½ years, you have to go back and look at what Jesus said in Matt24.

Jesus said

Matt24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand.

21 For then shall be great tribulation,


Now go to Daniel and see what Jesus was talking about.


Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

In the middle of that 7 year covenant or agreement that’s when the great tribulation will begin

A week is seven years


Gen29:28And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
30And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

All this is conformed in the book of revelation, as it all talks about a 3 ½ year time line or 1260 days or 42 months or time, times, and half time. On a 30 days a month calendar

This is how most Christians get the seven years, and how they turned it into a seven year tribulation I have no idea
.
It’s a 7 year agreement or covenant, and in the middle of the 7 years then shall be great tribulation

I heard it was the 7 year treaty with Israel that is made or confirmed by the antichrist. Then half way is the Abomination of Desolation. Is that right?

That is a bit harder to answer, but it can be answered from the book of Daniel but it’s thin.

These days Christians have turned the most of the Book Daniel into history, and because it was thin in the first place it makes it hard to defend

Gra some modern versions have a latte break
between vial 6&7. But i couldnt find it in my greek NT

Some believe that those not directly involved with Armageddon will be taking a latte break...
