IF ALL believers at this stage is in heaven...WHO will spread the Gospel?
Rom 10:14 How, then, can people call on someone they have not believed? And how can they believe in someone they have not heard about? And how can they hear without someone preaching? Rom 10:15 And how can people preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are those who bring the good news!"
IF there is no one to preach to them there wont be any tribulation saints...
and by the way... no one believed the two witnesses Also
Rev 11:10
Those living on earth will gloat over them, celebrate, and send gifts to each other, because these two prophets had tormented those living on earth.
and despite more than 1/3 of population are gone...they did not repent..
Rev 9:20 The rest of the people who survived these plagues did not repent from their evil actions or stop worshiping demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see, hear, or walk.
Biblically your story is false.
I totally understand that we differ in view about the Bride:
The Bride cannot be the O.T saints...But the OT saints shall be in it.
The NT saints (Christ believers) is not the bride but shall be in it.
Rev 21:27 Nothing unclean, or anyone who does anything detestable, and no one who tells lies will ever enter it. Only those whose names are written in the lamb's Book of Life will enter it.
The Bride will come down from Heaven... (Heavenly city, the New Jerusalem)
The Body and Christ will be caught up to meet in the air....
are you posting your false view?
I have told you the ABSOLUTE TRUTH all along, as the Holy Spirit gives me understanding.
Do you ever think through what I have been telling you, or just go back to the false thinking you have been taught, ignoring what I said?
TRUTH: Not everyone who THINKS they are CHRISTIANS are truly Born Again Christians who have received Him as LORD, which means MASTER, they remain lord of their own lives. ONLY BORN AGAIN Christians are called out to go to the Wedding of the Lamb.
TRUTH: NO Born Again Pastor will remain on this Earth by the time the Antichrist makes the Seven Year peace Treaty with Israel. HOWEVER, every one of their recorded sermons will remain on this Earth, and I suspect, many of those who thought they Christians because of some Easy Believism false Gospel, will be very EAGER to listen or watch those tapes and videos. Many of us BORN AGAIN Christians collect those sermons to be left behind for those who choose to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Master, thereby becoming Tribulation Saints. I used to have OVER 500 of Dr. John MacArthur's sermons on cassette tapes, plus some of Chuck Swindoll's, Dr. Gil Rugh,s, Dr. Ed Young,s Dr. Adrian Rodger's, Dr. Zola Levitt's, etc. With the cassettes having gone the way of the 8 Tracks, I donated half of them to the Prison Ministry, and half to a brand new Church just getting started. NOW I collect sermons in MP4 format, for the same reason. Those RECORDED Sermons, PLUS the TWO WITNESSES getting LOTS of Media Coverage, there will be AMPLE gospel sermons to lead those who become Tribulation Saints to REPENT and RECEIVE JESUS AS LORD AND MASTER. By the way, THAT IS NOT WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS, as Easy Believism would have you believe in ERROR. In ROM. 5:5, it tells us that when the Holy Spirit came into us, HE poured
the LOVE OF GOD into our hearts. It is that LOVE that is NOT OF OURSELVES, that produces a desire to submit to HIM as MASTER, striving to obey Him always. AND when we fail, it is that LOVE that produces a desire to confess that sin and repent of it.
TRUTH: GOD NEVER BREAKS HIS PROMISES.
Ezekiel 37:25-28 (ESV)
[SUP]
25 [/SUP] They shall dwell in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They and their children and their children’s children shall dwell there forever, and David my servant shall be their prince forever.
[SUP]
26 [/SUP] I will make a covenant of peace with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them in their land and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in their midst forevermore.
[SUP]
27 [/SUP] My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
[SUP]
28 [/SUP] Then the nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.”
Psalm 34:18 (KJV)
[SUP]
18 [/SUP] The LORD
is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Ecclesiastes 5:1-2 (NKJV)
[SUP]
1 [/SUP] Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and
draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.
[SUP]
2 [/SUP] Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God
is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.
James 4:7-10 (NKJV)
[SUP]
7 [/SUP] Therefore
submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
[SUP]
8 [/SUP]
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse
your hands,
you sinners; and purify
your hearts,
you double-minded.
[SUP]
9 [/SUP]
Lament and mourn and weep! {Over your sinfulness.} Let your laughter be turned to mourning and
your joy to gloom.
[SUP]
10 [/SUP]
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Those promises are every bit as TRUE in the Tribulation Period as they were in the Church-age. Granted Bible teachers, who did not get Called Out by the Bridegroom, will be out of business, but recorded sermons by those who did, will be in HIGH DEMAND.
Just so you know:
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 (NASB)
[SUP]
15 [/SUP] For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
[SUP]
16 [/SUP] For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of
the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
[SUP]
17 [/SUP] Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
[SUP]
18 [/SUP] Therefore comfort one another with these words.
That Event is at least 1007 Years or more, before the New City Jerusalem is lowered to the New Earth. It is why HE SAID to the Virgins who were watching and prepared to GO with the BRIDEGROOM:
Matthew 25:13 (KJV)
[SUP]
13 [/SUP]
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
IT IS WHY HE SAID:
Mark 13:32-33 (ESV)
[SUP]
32 [/SUP]
“But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
[SUP]
33 [/SUP]
Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come.
If it was AFTER Antichrist signs that Peace Treaty with Israel, which will be ALL OVER TV NEWS WORLDWIDE; no one would have to
"Watch" or "Be on guard, keep awake" until they saw that Seven Year Peace Treaty being signed.
Please LISTEN, your theology is all mixed up.
