Here is another passage to consider:
Don't stop at Rev.15, because Rev.16 is where the Vials are laid out.
Don't stop at Revelation 15?
How about actually taking into consideration the Scripture you were just given, instead of evading it?
Here it is again:
Revelation 15
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
These are clearly different Judgments, and the distinction between the Trumpet and Vial Judgments have already been given, but let's look at them again:
Revelation 8:7-9
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]8 [/SUP]And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
[SUP]9 [/SUP]And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Revelation 16:3
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
During the Trumpet Judgments, a third of the life in the sea dies. In the Vial Judgment...all life in the sea dies.
Quite a significant difference, no?
And if you look on the 6th Vial, Jesus is warning His Church on earth that He comes "as a thief".
Which is another indication He did not Return during the Sixth Seal Judgment.
It's because His one and only time of return and gathering of His Church is on the very next 7th Vial, because that is when He comes to pour His wrath upon the wicked on this earth.
Sorry, no, He has been pouring out His wrath the entire time of the Tribulation.
That wrath is finished at the pouring out of the Seventh Vial, and there is still a period that follows this Last Plague, which is described in Chapter Eighteen.
And when the Last Plague is poured, then...
Revelation 16:17
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]17 [/SUP]And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
...it is done.
In ch.18 we see the destruction of Babylon, and in ch.19 we then see...the Return of Christ.
That's what the battle of Armageddon is about, which aligns with the events of Ezekiel 39.
I agree, Ezekiel 39 describes the Supper of the Great God...which takes place in ch.19, not during the Sixth Seal, and not during the Sixth Trumpet, but after the Last Plague is poured out on the earth, that is...the Seventh Vial Judgment.
You have, because you refuse to see the weakness of the Post-Tribulation View and just how conflicting that is with what Scripture teaches, and your enmity against the Pre-Tribulation View...imposed into Scripture doctrine which is easily seen as conflicting and irreconcilable to the events which are clearly laid out for us in Revelation.
Well, that is not surprising, because it is typical for many Post Tribulation believers to be rude and vitriolic, which is likely due to the fact that their doctrine sits unsettled inside of them, and the Pre-Tribulation View disrupts what they want to believe.
Your doctrine is loose, and you have a long way to go to show I am an unsaved troll, my friend.
God bless.
The doctrine you hold to is just a choice from men that you've made.
On the contrary, it is simply what Revelation teaches.
The Rapture of the Church does not occur at the end of the Tribulation...this is an impossibility. Eisegeting a Return of Christ into Chapter 6 is the end product of both Reformation and Catholic historicism, and it is pure fantasy. You cannot reconcile a Post-Tribulation view to Revelation, period.
And again, we usually see Post-Tribulation believers resort to arguing their Darby fascinations and unleashing personal attack...
...because they cannot debate the Scripture to prove their position.
Shame, shame...
You can't support it from Scripture without twisting Scripture to try and force it into God's Word.
If you would refrain from all of the extra-biblical nonsense you engage is, you will see that not only is the Pre-Tribulation supported by Scripture...it is the only reasonable view.
If it were a valid doctrine per God's Word, then you would be able to explain why that event of Christ's wrath is shown in the 6th Seal with the wicked wanting to hide:
Rev 6:15-17
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him That sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb":
17 For the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
KJV
I've already explained it: it is a recognition of men that the wrath of God is being poured out on the earth, rather than the usual conflict that arises from natural phenomena (astrological events) and War.
Again, it is sad that unbelievers understand this but professing Christians...do not.
Another weakness in your doctrine is to make the Day of the Lord something that is a one-time event. The Day of the Lord is the Tribulation itself, my friend:
Joel 1:14-15
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord,
[SUP]15 [/SUP]Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
Joel 2:10-11
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]10 [/SUP]The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
[SUP]11 [/SUP]And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
I would recommend for you, and everyone, study of the Day of the Lord, so that it might be understood that the Day of the Lord refers to any visitation of God in which we usually see...judgment. And that judgment itself is the Day of the Lord. And while we can view His Return as the Day of the Lord, we do not have to exclude the events which lead up to that Day.
Because you refuse to accept the simplicity of that Scripture that God's wrath "is come" at that point, you instead show you put your trust in man, and not God.
What is refused is the fact that we clearly see that the wrath of God is poured out on men in the Tribulation.
1 Thessalonians 5
King James Version (KJV)
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
[SUP]9[/SUP]For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
If you will note that when the Day of the Lord comes...it is said to be destruction coming upon them. This follows Paul's teaching that the entire Church will be raptured, both dead and alive. That leaves no-one to repopulate the earth and produce those that rebel against God at the end of the Millennial Kingdom.
The Day of the Lord is the Wrath of God poured out on the earth, and we see that throughout the events of Revelation while the Tribulation is going on.
And I will end this response with the Last Plague:
Revelation 15:6-8
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
Your denial that the Judgments are the Wrath of God is necessitated by your refusal to examine your own doctrine and see the weakness and conflict you create with it.
Christ has not returned at this point and it is not until these Last Plagues are unleashed that we see Him Return.
Now, I will not respond to your Darby arguments, they are weak, slanderous, and unbiblical. I will not waste my time trying to discuss Scripture with you if you refuse to actually address the Scripture.
You call the repopulation of the earth a doctrine of men, but the fact is it is Biblical Doctrine, one which your doctrine cannot reconcile, so I suggest that you give it some consideration so that you might begin to understand the Timeline of Events, which you have so confused.
God bless.
