The first thing that Jesus tells the disciples on the Mount of Olives after they ask Him the 3 questions ...
 Quoting: DoUwant2go2heaven? 32632760

Been over this.

But I can tell you right now that sitting here and debating when the "rapture" will occur is not edifying to the body of Christ.
 Quoting:

Then why are you here debating me about it?

My OP expressly states that my purpose was not to start a debate but simply to tell what pre-trib actually is, to counter the lies being spread about it.


I love you my friend and we do worship the same great God. I just pray that the Holy Spirit would open up the eyes of your understanding to receive the command God has given.
 Quoting:

I pray the same for you.

But you must understand that we are both fallible. Your interpretation is no more authoritative than mine.

I'm not debating anything with you my friend. I'm just declaring the vision of God.

"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." Proverbs 29:18


Bottom line is you will die if you stay inside Babylon the Great. Yes, you will still receive your reward in heaven and ultimately that is all that matters. But rewards and crowns will be left unclaimed because you failed to fulfill all that God desired for your life. If you don't get out of Babylon before the destruction comes, you won't get to experience everything that God wanted for you. The impact you could of had on peoples life will never be realized if you stay inside of Babylon the Great.

That is why it is imperative to follow the command of God given in Revelation 18:4. Disregarding the command of God is disobedience my friend. Let us always remember the famous words that Samuel spoke to Saul.

"And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry."
1 Samuel 15:22-23


We must obey my friend! We must obey the command of God!


"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Revelation 18:4


It's not a suggestion my friend. It's a command! Failure to heed the command will relegate you to one of the simple ones mentioned in Proverbs 22:3 and 27:12

"A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished."


Don't be wise in your own eyes! Be prudent! Understand the signs of the times! Listen to God my friend! He will direct our paths! Hallelujah!

And FYI, God gives those who are wise 2 options in regards to where we can flee when we heed His command to come out of Babylon.

1) Our own home country because Babylon is a land of immigrants.

"Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land." Jeremiah 50:16

2) Jerusalem!

"Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind." Jeremiah 51:50


There are many reasons why Jerusalem would be the best option. But again, you have to let the LORD lead you in regards to what option He wants you to take.

But just to declare why Jerusalem is the best option we have to take a look at Matthew 24 and Revelation 12. Jesus gives specific instructions for those who are in Judea when the abomination of desolation happens. Those instructions are to flee to the mountains. If your living in Judea at that time the mountains would be to the east, toward Jordan.

"So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains." Matthew 24:15-16

Those who are in this company will be part of the wilderness deliverance spoken about in Revelation 12. They will be hid for the 1260 days in order that they will not have to endure the great tribulation! Hallelujah! The wilderness is the place of safety during the great tribulation! And you can be part of that company if you obey the voice of God. Amen.
