Because the bible teaches certain events must occur before Christ can come which have not taken place yet
Because the modern teaching of immanent return was a modern (early 1800's) teaching brought online by a charismatic woman
Because the immanent return heresy is hung on a few scriptures out of context
Because the resurrection/change takes place at the 7th trump
Because Matthew, Mark and Luke all teach that OUR REDEMPTION draweth nigh (AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS)
Because I used to believe immanent return until the last 24 years of intensive study changed my mind
Because there is 1 (GENERAL RESURRECTION/CHANGE) of the saved and if it occurs before the events of Revelation there is no place found for the (RAPTURE) yeah I know the word is not found...as at the 5th seal a number before the throne who are Killed for their witness and testimony are told to rest till their brothers and sisters are killed in like manner--->heads cut off for refusal to worship beast--->they live and reign with Christ a 1000 years which is indicative of being resurrected...refer to bolded above.
Because the modern teaching is a regurgitated teaching in error
3-1/2 years of tribulation. (Actuall 2-1/2 years of tribulation, 1 year of the Day of the Lord Num14:34 and Ezek 4:6)
3-1/2 years of the two witnesses
3-1/2 years of the church in the place of safety.
Too many scriptures point to a 3-1/2 year period showing that Christ CANNOT come today, tonight or tomorrow. Dan 12 show we are at least 1335 days away plus.
The important point is to watch and pray...
Mat 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Mat 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Mat 25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Mat 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Mat 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Mat 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Mat 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Mat 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
Mat 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
Mat 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Mat 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Mat 25:13
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Notice verse 5...
Mat 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried,
they all slumbered and slept.
Even the wise slumbered and slept.
