    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    I teach this, but then, it does not prevent a THIRD coming as shown in Rev. 19. This verse only guarantees there will be a second coming.

    No translation is perfect, including the KJV. Here are so other choices. Amp: number should be complete. BRG: should be fulfilled CJB: until the full number CEV: until the complete number MSG: full number MOUNCE: until the number was reached NIV: Full number NLT: full number had joined them TPT...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    Perhaps it is you who needs to repent. The writer of Hebrews does not tell us what happens to shoe who are NOT eagerly awaiting or looking for His coming. He or she leaves that up to our imagination. For me, I am looking for His coming TODAY!

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    Sorry, but "departing" or departure" fits the context of the passage far better than a falling away (from what the KJV did not say.)

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    The problem with this theory is, apostasia gives us NO INFORMATION as to what is being departed from. This is proven here: Act 21:21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake G646 Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    A definition of a compound word should never veer too far from the meaning of the words that make up the compound word. For example, a snowball. It is a ball, made of snow. A mailbox is a box used for mail. A railroad is a road made of rails. a paradigm is bringing two things up in parallel...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    If that were so, then Jesus quoted "very little truth." The word "midst" there, meaning middle or half, tells us the week will be divided by some event that will stop the daily sacrifices. Daniel shows us a TYPE in Antiochus that stopped the daily sacrifices by entering the Holy of Holies and...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    Yes, OF COURSE His wrath is in the vials. No one will disagree with that. Where you miss it: God gets angry (starts His wrath) at the 6th seal, and then WITH the first trumpet judgment. God will start the Day of the Lord (a long, extended period of time) first, then start the 70th week. The...

    I would agree if you said "which is the departing and the man of sin revealed."

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    God knows the number. The final martyr of the church age (Killed as they were - as church age martyrs - will be at the pretrib rapture that ENDS the church age and starts the Day of the Lord.

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    These are church age martyrs and Stephen was without a doubt a part of that group. God knows how many (the total number) of church age martyrs there will be ("killed as they were") - as church age martyrs. What will END the church age? Paul's pretrib rapture will end the church age and START...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    It was made crystal clear that these Saints in Thessalonica were in tribulation greatly being persecuted unto death. NON SEQUITUR This fact has nothing to do with the 70th week. Did you not read "in this world we will have tribulation?" God added up 2000 years of tribulation in chapter 7 and...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    In Context it means that after the graves of those who were IN Christ have been emptied and the bodies are flying up into the air, those that are alive and in Christ did not move (YET) with the dead in Christ: they are "remaining" on earth (for a very short moment.)

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    You are mistaken - as usual. There have been many times "great tribulation" has come to earth. If you notice, those two words were NOT ENOUGH For Jesus to describe the days of GT He was talking about. He had to add that "those days" would be worse than any other time on earth, past to future...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    YOu seem always to look for "clear verses." Often God does not provide clear verses. The 7 years is there, but it is not at first obvious. The truth is, God "marked" the 70th week with 7's so we can easily find it.

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    Nice try, but you missed it big time. First, the bible does not "title" the last half of the week as "the great tribulation." Man does that. Matthew 24: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    That is a good question. Since it is just after the rapture (which will happen just before the 6th seal) so He will be in heaven with His bride. God can certainly pour out His wrath through the trumpet and vial judgments while He is in heaven. According to John, He does not return to Armageddon...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    There is no clear verse showing how long Jesus' ministry was. It could have been for 3.5 years. Was it? Since no scripture tells us, it is only a guess.
