"for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness."..I just do not see any rapture/deliverance before the tribulation.
? "sons of of light and day" go through the UNbelievers' "Day Of Darkness"?:
Day of CHRIST vs Day Of The LORD!
According To the preaching of JESUS CHRIST, In The Revelation
Of The
Mystery! (Romans - Philemon!), "The Day Of CHRIST!" =
The "Judgment Day" Of The Heavenly Body Of CHRIST,
who Will Be Taken
Home To Heaven { LIGHT! }, For "shame... and/or:
...rewards, rejoicing, And reigning!" (1 Corinthians 3:8-15) Amen?:
“That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit
or by word, nor by letter as from us, as that The Day Of CHRIST is at
hand." (2 Thessalonians 2:2)
“Who Shall Confirm you Unto the end, that ye may be blameless
In The Day Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST!" (1 Corinthians 1:8)
“To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh,
that the spirit may be saved In The Day Of The LORD JESUS!"
(1 Corinthians 5:5)
“As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing,
even as ye also are ours in the In The Day Of The LORD JESUS!"
(2 Corinthians 1:14)
“Being confident Of This Very Thing, That HE Which Hath Begun A
Good Work In you, Will Perform It Until The Day Of JESUS CHRIST!"
(Philippians 1:6)
“That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye
may be sincere and without offence till The Day Of CHRIST!"
(Philippians 1:10)
“Holding forth The WORD Of Life; that I may rejoice in
The Day Of CHRIST that I have not run in vain, neither
laboured in vain." (Philippians 2:16)
Rightly Divided (
2 Timothy 2:15) From “
Things That Differ!"(
online):
According To Law / Covenants and "
Prophecy!":
The Day Of The LORD / "earthly" Israel / nations! in judgment /
wrath / battle / destruction / terror / DARKNESS / horror / pain! =
--------------------- Time Of JACOB's Trouble!!:
“The Day Of The LORD!” is common throughout the Old Testament.
The prophets referred constantly to it. In the New Testament,
The LORD JESUS CHRIST, Paul, and Peter referred to It! Some of
the Many Passages are the following:
Isaiah 2:11-12, 17, 13:4-6, 9, 13, 34:8; Jeremiah 46:10; Ezekiel 13:5, 30:3;
Joel 1:15, 2:1, 11, 31, 3:14; Amos 5:18, 20; Obadiah 1:15; Zephaniah 1:7, 14;
Zechariah 14:1; Malachi 4:5; Matthew 24:1-51; Acts 2:20; Romans 2:5;
1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10; Revelation 1:10;
compare: "That Day" in Isaiah 2:11, 17, 20, 3:18.
"That Day" is a time of terror, darkness, and wrath. It is a
“day of visitation” (Isaiah 10:3), a “Day of the Wrath Of
The LORD!” (Ezekiel 7:19), THE “Great Day Of The LORD!”
(Zephaniah 1:14)
-------------
Finally, there is Also: "The Day Of God!":
"Looking for and hasting unto The Coming Of The Day Of God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the
elements shall melt with fervent heat?" (2 Peter 3:12)
---------
Conclusion, only one question: Should God's "children of Light"
(Ephesians 5:8; 1 Thessalonians 5:5) In The Body Of CHRIST,
Really
prefer Darkness Over LIGHT?
Thus, we believe, with Paul, that
our Departure To Glory
Imminent (Could happen At Any Moment, No signs required)!
---------
Again, God Admonishes
All diligent Bible students:
"Prove
All things; hold fast that which is good!"
Amen.
