    The False Teaching (& Truth) of what happens at the Rapture.

    The commentator was using the ESV. The ESV, RSV, NRSV, CJB and WNT are the only translations to use ‘but’ instead of ‘and.’ 5She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rulea all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, (ESV Rev. 12:5). “Of...

    The False Teaching (& Truth) of what happens at the Rapture.

    It’s my view that the vision of Revelation 12 speaks of a future event as John hears is Rev. 4:1 "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this." I don’t see it as referring to the Lord’s ascension which was a gradual ascending into a cloud, not a forcible ‘catching...

    The False Teaching (& Truth) of what happens at the Rapture.

    There is the Rev 12:5 harpazo of the 'child' who was 'caught up unto God, and to His throne.' The 'child' represents living believers who will rule and reign with Christ during the Millenium. The 'Man-child' (Jesus) rules; the 'child' is caught up, but they can be viewed as one 'first-born...

    The False Teaching (& Truth) of what happens at the Rapture.

    Yes, the signs the Lord spoke of in Matt. 24:4-8 are visible. The situation with Russia and NATO continues to deteriorate.

    The False Teaching (& Truth) of what happens at the Rapture.

    This concept of ‘tribulation wrath’ that is associated with the Tribulation Period suggests that all of Daniel’s 70th week is the wrath of God. There is no mention of a concept of ‘tribulation wrath’ in Dan. 9:27. I understand why pre-trib proponents have done this, but it is misleading. The...

    The False Teaching (& Truth) of what happens at the Rapture.

    I also of course recognize the 144,000 Israelites as having their own unique role to play in Daniel’s 70th week. Like you, I recognize ‘those who are wise’ in Daniel 12:3 to be the literal 144,000 Israelites. They are described as ‘first fruits’ to God (Rev 14:4). Their mission will be to...

    The False Teaching (& Truth) of what happens at the Rapture.

    Yes, I'm aware that you are a proponent of the pre-trib theory, and the strict dispensationalism it entails. Understandably, I've received similar comments in the past when making reference to that scripture. I don't hold to the same interpretation of Daniel’s 70th week, with its...

    The False Teaching (& Truth) of what happens at the Rapture.

    I also think there is a faithful/unfaithful remnant. The glorified faithful remnant described as 'they that turn many to righteousness' in Daniel 12:1-3 will be the ones sharing the gospel with those who are in danger of becoming apostates (Isaiah 60:1-3, Mark 16:15, John 14:12). I believe in...

    When you repent you are showing Jesus that you trust Him. He is faithful to forgive us (John 1:9). This shows you have faith. You believe that Jesus will ‘cleanse us from all unrighteousness’ (John 1:9). “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more (Hebrews...

    Yea, Jesus is the Word of God. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made (John 1:1-3).

    Mark 1:15 says, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Repentance and faith go together because if you believe that Jesus is the Lord Who saves (faith), you have a changed mind about your sin and your self (repentance); and if you repent...

    If Christians ignore the work of the Holy Spirit and continue in their state of disbelief and do not repent from their sins before they die, they will not be forgiven. We have to repent when we sin. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much...

    They are related. We have been justified because of the Lord’s atoning sacrifice. And are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24). For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be...

    Atonement is the act of making amends or correcting a mistake. The Lord Jesus Himself is obedient to the Father and is the sacrifice for our sins. “He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world (1 John 2:2).” See also John 1:29...
