Then why is God judging His House first? 1 Peter 4:17-19
Why are there vessels unto dishonor in His House that did not depart from iniquity? 2 Timothy 2:18-21
Why was this church at Thyatira in Revelation warned about being cast into the bed of the great tribulation to suffer a physical death if they did not repent of their spiritual fornication?
Revelation 2:[SUP]1 [/SUP]And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.[SUP]22 [/SUP]Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.[SUP]23 [/SUP]And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Is that not the whole point of addressing the 7 churches in Revelation where 5 needed to prepare by repenting whereas only 2 were encouraged to stand fast so that they escape what is coming on the earth?
Who is Jesus talking to that will be cut off to be with the unbelievers if they do not prepare to meet the Bridegroom?
Luke 12:[SUP]40 [/SUP]Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.[SUP] 41 [/SUP]Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?[SUP]42 [/SUP]And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?[SUP] 43 [/SUP]Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.[SUP]44 [/SUP]Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.[SUP]45 [/SUP]But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;[SUP]46 [/SUP]The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.[SUP]47 [/SUP]And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.[SUP]48 [/SUP]But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.[SUP]49 [/SUP]I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
Why would Jesus STILL call those cut off as His servants but are receiving stripes for not preparing themselves?
That is the whole point of God judging His House first.. to excommunicate those not abiding in Him as His disciples, that by being left behind, to restore the wayward to the path of righteousness for His name's sake for He is their Good Shepherd Whom will get even to the last of His lost sheep for He will lose nothing of all the Father has given Him ( John 6:39-40 ).
It is because of the falling away from the faith is why & how God is judging His House first as He shall deal with that falling away from the faith first as the Bridegroom by receiving the vessels unto honor to the Marriage Supper. By leaving the castaways behind to receive later on as vessels unto dishonor after the great tribulation, this is when His coming as King of kings is for to deal with that son of perdition & the world's armies in judging the world.
The call to be ready by Him at that throne of grace is now before the Bridegroom comes.

This process will begin when we acknowledge our unconditional dependence upon the Lord, giving total, unqualified permission to Him to do with us all that may be necessary, so we will not only be able to sing this song [the song of victory recorded in Psalm 149:5-9], but also actively participate with the Lord in its full Out working.[/FONT]

You just pulled that out of thin air.
John was told to eat the book and prophesy again:
Rev 10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
Rev 10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
Rev 10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
He wasn't eating the book of Revelation.

There is the last trump... but it is at the pre trib rapture event.
The sevens seals and the seven trumpets occurs at the pre trib rapture event. The seven angels assigned to those seven trumpets announces those things within the announcements of the 3 angels that set up the hour of temptation that shall try all upon the earth.
Think of it in this way.. the seven seals on a scroll needs to be broken all at once for the content of the scroll to roll open and be given. The seven trumpets given to seven angels that are coming out of when that seven seals of that scroll are broken, is indicative of happening all at once in ending the world as we know it to be, in setting up how the world will be for the coming great tribulation.
There are 3 angels setting up the hour of temptation that shall try all upon the earth.... within that moment...after the first angel spread the everlasting gospel everywhere at or after the pre trib rapture event, then the seven angels sounds their trumpets in ending the world of those left behind in changing the world for that oppressive time of the coming great tribulation; indeed, the second angel is announcing the fall of Babylon which has happened at or after the time the seven angels blew their horns all at once. Then when everything has been changed by that world's calamity in setting the atmosphere for the great tribulation...the third angel will warn everyone the dire consequence for taking the mark of the beast to buy & sell to survive in the new world order arising out of that calamity of one third of the earth being wiped out.
I know that verse.... the trumpets yet to sound... throws people off into thinking it happens in order....as if time passes between each trump during the great tribulation, but they happen in order in rapid succession at the calamity which the second angle of the 3 will announce when it is over that Babylon has fallen as a result of that world wide change.
That is why Jesus said destruction will come immediately afterwards... as in the days of Noah.. as in Sodom & Gomorrah.. when those chosen are taken out.... they are spared that coming calamity of fire on the earth that will change the world as we know it.
That last trump of the seven trumps will sound at the pre trib rapture event as all eyes shall see Him as the Bridegroom coming for His abiding brides, the everlasting gospel will go out to the end of the earth in that respect, and then destruction will come as those seven trumpets has been sounded to release what was in that scroll after all seven seals has been broken in changing the world as we know it to be, in setting the hour of temptation that shall try all upon the earth.
That is why the last trump of the seven trumpets of Revelation is at the pre trib rapture event for those chosen to attend the Marriage Supper to escape what is coming on the earth.
