    The rapture is close?

    ...guess what I'm trying to get at is, are you saying that you don't believe that what Jesus said in Matthew 24:21 ("For then shall be GREAT tribulation, such as was not since...") is CONNECTED with what Daniel 12:1 states ("At that time... and there shall be a time of trouble [LXX - thlipsis...

    The rapture is close?

    ...with what you've put here. Please allow me to present a few reasons, for your consideration. While I agree that Jesus spoke of "great tribulation [G2347; thlipsis]" which commences the SECOND HALF of the "70th Week" (7 year period) and did so in verse 21 of Matt24 (which follows what we...

    ...stated: "HAVING BEEN CLOTHED IN white himation" PRIOR TO WHEN Jesus will "STAND" to OPEN SEAL #1 at the START of the "7 year period [/ Tribulation Period]"? if that doesn't indicate believers having been raptured out PRIOR to The Trib (i.e. PRE-Trib Rapture)? I'm fully convinced of this, and...

    Preparation for the tribulation.

    No. Not what I said. Please re-read my Post #316 ( https://christianchat.com/threads/preparation-for-the-tribulation.216913/post-5437524 ), where I talk about how the "LUKEWARM" (Rev3:15-16 and context) are NOT "SAVED" persons (scroll down to see what I put under my Point #2 in that...

    Preparation for the tribulation.

    ...BOY, [pre-tribber here :) ] I AGREE with your statement on the TIMING ISSUE of the "10 VirginS" parable (it's NOT talking about "pre-" Tribulation time-slot, RIGHT!) Where I might disagree with you is, as to its PURPOSE. Jesus is not speaking here about whom He is intending to "MARRY" (10...

    Were the Four Horsemen released from the 1st century?

    [I meant to respond to this post back when you made it... my apologies!] What I believe is meant by "the beginning of birth PANGS" is "ACTIVE LABOR" (not the "early labor" that can last for 2-3 days leading up to "ACTIVE labor")... so, no, I see this otherwise (the way I explained in my earlier...

    There will be no Rapture!!!

    "Noah" (Jesus' speaking of this in both Matthew 24 and Luke 17) is not being used there as a picture or illustration of "our Rapture". Jesus is not covering the Subject of "our Rapture [/snatch]" anywhere in His Olivet Discourse (or this related Lk17 passage also speaking of Noah), which are...
