    50 Reasons For a Pretribulational Rapture By Dr. John F. Walvoord

    Paul's verse is straight forward and right to the point: when one is absent from their flesh body, their spirit is present with the Lord. The fact that God never changes does not answer this question. We need to qualifiy that statement: He DID change when He took on flesh. You are trying to...

    Go and read it: the angel asked WHO IS WORTHY...apparently in heaven, on earth and under the earth. But no man was found worthy, It makes no difference if you choose not to call it a search. Jesus did and that is good enough for me. But what is more important than what we call it is the...

    When did (will) Jesus open the first seal in Rev. 6 and what does it represent?

    50 Reasons For a Pretribulational Rapture By Dr. John F. Walvoord

    It was a very simple question: WHY did that first search end in failure? The answer is just as simple: Jesus Christ had not finished His work to Redeem men from their sins. He was not hiding, and he was not in transit. Either He had not yet died, or more likely had not yet risen from the dead.

    Find the verse. If it is true, there must be a verse. Paul gives us a NT verse for that: absent from the body = present with the Lord. Where is such a verse in the OT?

    I don't think you understood the question: what is "taken out of the way" must be found in verse 3a - because he is revealed in 3b. Sorry, but St. Michael is not found in 3a.
