THIS HARVEST IS IS DIRECT CONFLICT WITH WHAT YOU ARE SAYING THERE. HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT?

Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Are there three parts to a harvest? Is Christ the firstfruits of those that slept? Who makes up the gathering? Who makes up the gleanings? Study 1 Corinthians 15 where the resurrection is likened unto a harvest.

At this point in Matthew, the future body of Christ made up of mostly Gentiles is in mystery form.

And so how do you account for it?

The Feasts of God are His calendar for His purposes for Israel.

The Body of Christ receives of Christ`s fulfillment of the early Feasts - Passover, First- Fruits and Pentecost, but we are a parenthesis (...) before the final fulfillment for Israel of the last 3 feasts. These are in the trib, and the millennium.

Will people who miss the rapture have a chance to be saved?
After reading scripture for nearly 50 years, and hearing a plethora of divergent views for as long, I have decided this...I don't know, I hope so!

I will ask what time can come after the last day. Please note Jesus does not say last days or last day of.. He just says last day.
The "last day" is a period of time just as "the day of the LORD" is a period of time. Neither of these are simply 24 hour days.

Getting back to the question, after the Rapture only those who had not already rejected the Gospel and rejected Christ will have a chance to be saved. And here is the reason why: Even him [the Antichrist], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thess 2:9-12)

Jesus comes from heaven with the gospel. That is the voice of the Archangel. Those who believe and are washed free from sin will be saved. Those who do not will not be saved. When God opens up the heart of a person to hear the gospel and to believe on him for salvation, that is when they are saved.

Yes. The way I see it, a great many people attend church and hold to Christian values, but they are not saved. Those people will miss the rapture. They will find that there is no fence to sit on. Either they accept the mark of beast and have temporary life or they reject in favour of Christ and lose their lives immediately. Those who accept the MOB have no more hope.

2596 katá (a preposition, governing two grammatical cases) – properly, "down from, i.e. from a higher to a lower plane, with special reference to the terminus (end-point)" (J. Thayer).

[2596 (katá) is written 'kat' or 'kath' before a vowel. So too, kata loses the final a before an initial diphthong (cf. BDF § 17; MH 61-62; R 206-208).

2596 /katá ("bring down exactly, complete") is "opposite" to 303 /aná ("bring up to completion").]

WHAT EXACTLY IS WRITTEN ABOUT THE EVENTS TO TAKE PLACE PRE TRIB?



Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE, A SINGLE WORD, WRITTEN ANYWHERE THAT TELLS US ABOUT WHAT TAKES PLACE


IN THE

PRE TRIBULATION PERIOD? BECAUSE SO FAR, THIS IS ALL CHRIST HAS SAID ON THE SUBJECT.

We must address the question...what would prevent them from being born again? The Bible does not say that once the rapture that...grace ...would be cancelled. Repentance, baptism and living righteously will still be the challenge, etc.

This question often arises because of the presence of the AC. Because of His controls the folks seeking repentance, baptism and living for Christ is taboo and those folks will be martyred. After all, the AC is in control and will not allow anything related to Christ to be seen.

How do you know there is a rapture of the church in the first place? I'm only aware of a second coming after the great tribulation. Hebrews 9:28, "so Christ also, having been offered ONCE to bear the sins of many shall appear a SECOND TIME for salvation/deliverance without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him."

And btw, there are no second chances at least according to Hebrews 9:27, the verse just before Hebrews 9:28, "And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this the judgment." As a side note this verse also shoots down the idea of reincarnation.

IN GOD THE SON,
bluto
Hebrew 9:27 says men only die once. But those left behind at the rapture do not die; they are still very much alive. It is not a "second chance" that they are getting. It is still their first life and their first chance.

I am firm with the pre-tribulation rapture. Those who are left will enter the wrath of God which includes the seals, trumpet and bowl judgements and those that enter are all unrighteous. Many also will be saved in the tribulation.

Those left behind are the only ones who have a change to be saved:

2 Esdras 13:23 He that shall endure the peril in that time hath kept himself: they that be fallen into danger are such as have works, and faith toward the Almighty.
24 Know this therefore, that they which be left behind are more blessed than they that be dead.
