Hebrews 9:28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

And when this day comes, we will be like the unblemished lambs whose sins have been forgiven 4 days before Passover

Incorrect x 2; respectfully Disagree X 2, Because Of God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided:

Prophecy ( Earthly ):

1) The 'bride', Israel has to "make herself ready" (Rev_19:7-8 AV) in The Great Tribulation:


No, and:

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

Mystery ( Heavenly! ):

2) All of The Body Of Christ ( the "One New man" [ Not transgender! ] Eph_2:15 AV),
Must Be "Caught Up" In God's Great GRACE Departure! {aka rapture} In Order For
"Every man" To Be Judged At The Judgment Seat Of Christ ( 1Co_3:8-15 AV) ,
In Heaven!

------------
And, precious friend(s), Please Be Very Richly Encouraged and Edified
In The Lord Jesus Christ and In His Precious Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided:


The Bible: The BIG Picture

Amen.

So, in your mind, your limited knowledge "rightly divides".
You leave out EVERYTING concerning the bride of Christ, then , attempt to "rightly divide".
You need to put omitted verses back on the table.
Ephesians 5:25–32 – Bride of Christ
  1. Husbands, love your wives,
as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
  1. that he might make her holy, cleansing her by the washing of water through the word,
  2. that he might present to himself the church, in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing,
that she might be holy and without blemish.

  1. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it,
just as Christ does the church,
  1. because we are members of his body.
  2. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother
and hold fast to his wife,
and the two shall become one flesh.”
  1. This mystery is profound,
and I speak with reference to Christ and the church.

The last supper is a VIVID, VIVID picture of the Jewish betrothal of the jewish marriage.

In the book of Ruth, BOAZ , representing Jesus, Marrys the gentile Ruth , representing the church, and Naomi carries on HER LINEAGE through the CHILD OF RUTH AND BOAZ.

Note that the bride and wife is Gentile.

Now ...just maybe you can take a RIGHTLY DIVIDED LOOK AT REV 19.


BTW....Gomer , in Hosea REPRESENTS THE JEWISH WIFE.
GOMER IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
GODS COVENANT ISRAEL.

Well said.
 
God let people believe whatever they want before, even when they misunderstood Him for the longest time.

What counts is how you recover from your misunderstanding and get on God's program as soon as you realize it.

You'll remember all my posts to you when the antichrist arrives. The main thing is to not panic and stick close to Jesus.


🕊

The antichrist will be revealed pre rapture.
The bible says it.
Both sides believe it.

It is a fact he will be revealed for a short time before the takes power.
During that time of us recognizing him, prepower, the rapture will occur.

That lines up like glove with the pretrib rapture.
 
--------------------------------
Story of the 10 virgins I believe takes place inside the Tribulation. The five foolish virgins went to see what the antichrist had to offer IMO.
The setting is pretrib, as are all rapture verses.
The bride went out....to meet.....the groom
The bride was watching pretrib.(went out to meet)
The groom delayed...(WHERE WE ARE NOW)

SOME believers have oil and fire
Some do not....Again...where we are now.

(improper to make the AMOUT OF OIL a salvation issue)

Then they all are warned ahead of the Grooms arrival.
The foolish christians scramble.
The wise simple do what they do.

The wise who helped them and carried those carnal believers in the past, had no time for their foolishness. So the carnal Christians ran away to get caught up on oil. ( the Holy Spirit fire that carnal Christian fail to invest in)
....because the groom was right at the door.....time ran out.

That is the difference.

That is the analogy.

How long are you going to wait for the rapture after the antichrist is revealed?

Until after the great tribulation?


😁

It could even be that all believers are rounded up into facilities .
Huge open air facilities.

Then postribbers will scold us pretribbers and do what you are doing.

"Ha ha ha....where is your stupid pretrib rapture????"
Then, while in those facilities, the bride groom comes.

ALL OF THAT PICTURE IS A PRETRIB RAPTURE.

Arrested and put in a facility.
Pretrib.
Pre mass beheading.

Postribbers take offense at the notion that not all the church is raptured..

But if you look at it closely, those left behind and martyred, get the MARTYRS REWARD.
THE HIGHEST REWARD.
GOD Thinks of everything.

The rapture is a faith dynamic, and a oil dynamic.

We know from Matt 24 and 25 half the church is left behind.
 
Pre-trib rapture must happen FIRST. Your use of scripture won't matter if it doesn't.


👀
Must happen AFTER the the AC is revealed.
The AC is revealed pretrib.
The word "revealed" is in question.
Obama was revealed BEFORE he took power.
The AC is REVEALED before he takes power.

So, basically , with "revealed", that actually implies and authenticated a pretrib rapture.

Postrib doctrine says he is in power for 7 years...then the second coming on white horses and a turn rapture back to earth.

So postribbers are saying the AC is revealed at the white horses?
After years in power, he is revealed?

YOU'RE the one making all these assumptions, not post-trib believers.

Your pre-trib false doctrine is so shaky that you have to lie to others about what post-trib believers believe.


Post-trib is simple - rapture happens AFTER the GT, not after the ac is revealed.

So go ahead. Keep waiting for pre-trib rapture. It won't happen, even after the ac is revealed.

And you won't be able to say you were right when the rapture happens AFTER the GT, because THAT is the post-trib rapture.


🕊
 
How is any of this evidence for Jesus coming back twice? That's a pretty big deal, and not a reasonable explanation for the tension he describes... of all these catastrophies happening, but there still being wedding and people saying 'peace and safety'. Of course, there are other eschatologies, and some take the Matthew and Luke passages he read to be passed events.

In Matthew 24, 'after the tribulation of those days' (called 'great tribulation' earlier in the passage), the sign of the Son of Man appears in heaven, and the elect are gathered. For as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be..... ummmm this is set AFTER the great tribulation. So trying to argue for a pretrib rapture off of that makes no sense.

And tribulation and wrath are not the same thing. I do not believe God's wrath will be against the tribulational saints. They are described using heroic language.
Trib saints are all killed, as the bible declares.

No. According to scripture, they with are alive and remain will at the parousia will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.

In II Thessalonians 2, Jesus returns and gives rest to the church from those causing it tribulation.

In Matthew 24, the elect are gathered from the four winds at the coming of the Son of man.

1) It says every man, Woman can child not written in the book receives the mark.
2)It says to refuse it is to be beheaded.
3) It says that power was given the Antichrist to overcome church.
4)Concerning believers, it says they overcame the AC by the blood of the lamb, and the word of their testimony and they love not their lives, unto death. 5) In other words..... they died.

In mat 24 the postrib gathering is "from heaven"
( where the church has been for 7 years.)

2 thess 2 is postribber talking point of AC revealed before the rapture.

( which is also a pretrib rapture verse)

2 thes 2 has no postrib rapture verses.
 
1) It says every man, Woman can child not written in the book receives the mark.
2)It says to refuse it is to be beheaded.
3) It says that power was given the Antichrist to overcome church.
4)Concerning believers, it says they overcame the AC by the blood of the lamb, and the word of their testimony and they love not their lives, unto death. 5) In other words..... they died.
"3) It says that power was given the Antichrist to overcome church."

Technically, the Church, the Bride, has already been raptured.
This occurs BEFORE the man of sin is ever revealed.
This occurs "in the twinkling of an eye", just at twilight before the DARKNESS, before the NIGHT, aka the tribulation.

However the TRIBULATION SAINTS (those who come to faith during the trib) are overcome and suffer death.
As does the nation Israel.

And remember, ONLY the Church gets "changed" aka "transformed"......while they are still ALIVE on the earth.

1Th 4:15
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

1Th 4:17
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1Co 15:51
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
“Changed” (Greek: allagēsometha) = transformed, altered

1Co 15:52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
