Every person here claims to do that.
That's wonderful.
Says you. I believe 1 Cor 15 and 1 Thes 4 are talking about Christ returning for the church, and that it will happen before the trib starts. In those sections, we meet Christ in the air. When he returns at the second coming to fight Armageddon and set up the millennial kingdom, he will return TO EARTH, and stand on the mount of olives.

I believe the truth of scripture, just not in some of the ways you interpret it.
Some of my beliefs are contrary to yours. I do not believe they are contrary to the word of God.
The two resurrections mentioned in Rev 20 4,5 are the resurrection of the just and the resurrection of the unjust, and as revealed by Paul, do not concern the Christian church. Paul made known a mystery (1 Cor 15:51). Christ will be returning before the trib starts to gather the Christian church.
I do not believe the book of revelation concerns us (Christians) as we will be gathered together with Christ before it begins to play out. This timeperiod we are living in, the administration of grace, was not known about in the OT or the gospels. It began on the day of pentecost, and will end with the rapture. Matt 24 is not addressed to Christians. The events in Matt 24 will play out in the book of Revelation.
I believe Christians have been delivered from the wrath to come.
I am fully aware many do not agree with my viewpoint on this, but that's OK.
I am beginning to see why you and SuperDave come to verbal blows so frequently. Your perspective seems to be that it's your way or it's the wrong way, and anyone who disagrees with you is "twisting" scripture and "unbiblical".
...not that I agree with SuperDave on everything....
