I call him "Colonel Clickbait".
Your hero has explicitly stated "the whole civilization is going to die tonight" they are saying "go for it we are not afraid of you, bully'
Please stop with "we are rescuing them" nonsense, so obviously a lie from the start.
We have two possible scenarios, a dying empire, desperately trying to maintain its hegemony, but is actually making it worse.
Or,
They are on a path of purposeful self-destruction, meaning that "liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all" is done and the technocrats will share the spoils and institute the age of techno feudalism, but hey we have Darby the false teacher who promised the rapture .. who cares about the following generations.
Dispensationalism is one of the most self-centered doctrines, no wonder it was promulgated largely by boomers.
Still a slim chance, hurry, run fast to your evil lovers and tell them to surrender if you actually value their lives. We warned them enough, gave them ample chances and time. Praise Jesus.
Your interpretation of those verses doesn't make any sense, the bible never mentions anything about being 3 raptures.
1 Thessalonians 4:15 as a comforting assurance that believers who have died ("fallen asleep") will not miss or be disadvantaged at Christ’s Second Coming. It teaches that the dead in Christ will be resurrected first, followed by the immediate catching up of living believers to meet the Lord, emphasizing a unified, single resurrection event.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 is emphasizing that the "day of the Lord" is not imminent because a significant "apostasy" (falling away) and the revelation of the "man of lawlessness" (Antichrist) must occur first. It focuses on God’s sovereignty in history, the reality of a final spiritual rebellion, and the ultimate destruction of evil by Jesus.
Revelation 13:7—where the beast is allowed to make war on and conquer the saints—is the ongoing persecution of the Church by antichristian, totalitarian, or state-worshiping systems, rather than exclusively a future event. It highlights that this power is allowed by God (sovereignty), impacts all tribes/nations (global scope), and is a spiritual attack against the faithful.
Yes, the saints—the Church—will be present on earth during the tribulation and many will be killed (martyred) for their faith. The Bible does not support a secret pre-tribulation rapture that rescues the church from persecution, viewing the tribulation as a period where the church overcomes through faithfulness even unto death.
Your interpretation of the harvest doesn't make sense, because (Christians don't hold on to the world). You need to understand that Christians don't hold onto the world, that's what the children of the Devil do. Gods people hold on to Christ.
Thank you for proving my point, you attack the man but you can't find a single fault in anything he preaches. That's the typical response of those who, can't defend their own theology.
High probability that the IRGC nutters will have a relapse into delusions of omnipotence and obsessive compulsive fantasies of Israeli extinction.
God's way is higher than any other way. Who He uses or doesn't use isn't up to us. He used a fish for Jonah, he used a donkey for Balaam, a rooster for Peter.
There's not one instance in the bible of God using a foreign power to protect Israel. In fact, God sharply rebuked kings for forming foreign alliances to that end. The reason you have to believe God is doing so now is because you're following the doctrine of the pharisees, and not the faith of Christ..
You need to either ignore or twist the meaning of many scriptures for your eschatology to float. The reality is, you're borrowing irrelevant scriptures from the OT and misapplying them to the NT, while sidestepping the NT scriptures which expose your interpretation as misguided.
Without getting bogged down in futile disputes, I'll just mention a couple of verses from the NT which destroy the pre-trib rapture theory.
1. Matthew 24:29-31 Jesus states that "immediately after the tribulation of those days" he will gather his elect, aligning the gathering (rapture) with his post-tribulation return.
2. John 6:39-40 44, 54: Jesus repeatedly promises to raise believers up "on the last day," reinforcing that the resurrection/gathering happens at the end of time, not years prior as you're suggesting.
"Meeting" the Lord: The Greek term for "meet" (apantesis) in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 refers to a welcoming delegation going out to meet a visiting dignitary and escorting him back into the city, suggesting believers meet Christ in the air to escort him to earth, not to flee to heaven.
Different time period.
Ohhhhh my land, just change your name to parrot, you know only one phrase and you glue it to every post that disagrees with you. lol
