Possibly. Verses 42 and 44 are for believers. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come...Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Verse 28 (about the carcass and the eagles) does not come after verse 37.

But verses 42 and 44 tie into the parable of the ten virgins (chapter 25:13) where the Bridegroom comes for His Bride (which is the Church). Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. When it is "your Lord" that is strictly for believers. And when it is the Bridegroom who comes then that is clearly the Rapture.

Also the Second Coming of Christ is AFTER the Tribulation and the Great Tribulatiom, which have nothing to do with the Church.

I think the post you quoted (of Omegatime's) was him quoting from Luke 17.

And you are referring to verses in Matt24 (basically the same Subject).


My question to you, in view of what you've written in the above portion ^ (quoted at top), "who" is it that you believe the following text is referring to, by the use of the word "lord"? :

"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." - Lk12:46

(which verse I believe is part of a context which is PARALLEL to Matt24:42-51, and with its "THEREFORE" also connecting the previous verses, the ones about "taken" and "left" in Matt24).




So my question to you is, WHO is the "lord" of that servant, in this verse, in your view?








[for the readers (for clarity): I do believe there will be people coming to faith in Christ FOLLOWING "our Rapture," when THEY are IN the TRIB yrs--"our Rapture [/SNATCH]" does not pertain to them]
