ENDING THE "RAPTURE" DEBATE USING BIBLE VERSES!!!

What fruits of the spirit was Jesus manifesting when he literally chased the moneychangers and DROVE them from the temple. Or when he addressed the false teachers,pharisees as "A GENERATION OF VIPERS" and said they make their followers twofold more the children of hell than they are, eh ? He showed a zeal for His father's temple and truth.



I am RIGHTFULLY disgusted at your false teachings and my saeva indignatio is the only appropriate response to your twisting of the Word. You deserve everything I throw at you and then some. Now you compound your sin with this little post-trib pity party. Truly pathetic. You distort and falsify and then insist that people show patience with your falsehood. You are a CLASSIC pharisee. A reptile. But don't worry, your self-deception will find you out. It already did on this pathetic thread where you attempt to cross swords with Biblical exposition using your own inventions as your rapier. Don't blame me and project your shame on me with your insults. You are involved in a false prophecy project and I handed you your head on this thread because you do not know the scriptures and reveal that you make up your interpretation off of the top of your head. Your interpretation of 2 Thessalonians is the BEST YET from the post-tribulationist hall of shame.All post-tribulationists stumble on THAT rock of true prophecy; but you take home the teddy bear for writing the craziest interpretation of 2 Thessalonians probably in all of recorded history. Especially your use of the word "let" to try to do away with Paul's own clear teaching.What a gem of wisdom. And you don't even know enough to be ashamed of this deceitful mistranslation.



Pointing your finger at me will not hide your exegesis which is on the thread for all to see . You are on record with your fantasyland tales about what Paul and Jesus really meant. Their words are clear. it is your twisting of their words that is virtually unintelligible gibberish. They are the fruits of a reprobate spirit.

Pardon me while I shake the dust from my feet.

Does this mean you will shout some of those latin exorcisms at us, now?

I notice that it didn't make Saxon777 nor HardTruth change their evil ways.

Come get some oil all you post tribulation conditionalists:

Moses gets moabitess wife in Moab before the Exodus

Psalms 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
Psalms 27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Psalms 31:19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
Psalms 31:20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

Psalms 94:12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
Psalms 94:13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
Isaiah 26:21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Isaiah 57:1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
Isaiah 57:2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
[Note: ALL these things]

Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
[7 days in a secret place she makes herself ready]

At the Second Coming the Bride is now a wife and the honeymoon has ended.

"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made
herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen
is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage
supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God." Rev 19:7-9

The Jewish Marriage Supper always begins AFTER the couple have had sex and the now wife puts on clean linen
and jewels to present herself to the friends of the groom. They get to see her for the very first time.
The friends have been gathered from all over to meet the new wife. Then after a "7" day honeymoon she comes
out of her chamber to be seen by all in all her beauty.

"Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck
the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet." Joel 2:16

The word for closet here is Chuppah meaning wedding canopy. The couple marry under this canopy long before
the honeymoon and the appearance and the start of the marriage feast. According to the customs of the
Jewish marriage feast, there is not even a hint of a post-trib Rapture. When Christ Returns with His now wife
at the Second Coming. The tribulation elect, (friends of the groom) will have already been gathered together for the feast.

"And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect
from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." Matt 24:30-31

When the elect (the friends) are gathered (in the land of Israel), then they will meet the wife (bride of Christ)
for the first time. She (the Church) will have made herself ready after 7 days/years.

Types Of The Rapture

This is a list of Rapture types from the Old and New Testaments. These are "proposed" types and are only offered for your consideration.

Old Testament Types
1. Gen. 1:26 God created man (manchild) in the sixth day (sixth 1000-year period).
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish
of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
2. Gen. 2:7-8 God formed man (manchild) on the sixth day (sixth 1000-year period) and put him into a garden paradise (heaven).
Genesis 2:7-8 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;

Genesis 7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things,
and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto
the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Matthew 24:37-41 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before
the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until
the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall
be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt

This is my last post in this thread, take it or leave it.
Goes for OP, Monk and Michelle. I have no time to play with you people any more, stay post trib if you like doesn't matter to me.

I'm actually prewrath belief, the rapture before the wrath of God is poured out on the world, after the opening of the 6th seal.

Ah, but the Monk never said she held to a post-trib rapture, now did she?

My issue ALONE was the arrogant attitude by VH, who does this sort of venomous attack to anyone who disagrees with him. If you haven't caught the ring-side show before, do an advanced search.

I am pre-Wrath, which to me is different than pre-trib.

Actually you have given a wonderful wealth of information from old and new testament sources for your stance, I commend you!

AC 224276, you never answered the astrology question. I suppose that means you condone astrology, which is witchcraft. Pretty sad day when two women are the only ones "man" enough to stand up and say what's right and what's wrong. Kinda reminds me of the days of Deborah. Where are the men?!

Yes, Jesus told us God will provide protection for the true believers or the elect... those who obey the 10 Commandments. In my view, it is very likely the traditional Christian churches who break the Law, particularly the 4th Commandment, on keeping holy the Sabbath Day and the 7 Feasts of the Lord, are blinded by the Deception sent by God. The deception is the pretrib rapture!

I believe before the 6th seal is opened, God will send a Prophet to lead the elect out to a place of safety (Malachi 4:5). Those who are not ready and watching, like the foolish virgins, will not heed the call and go through the Great Trib. The GT applies only to Christians who refused to take the Mark of the Beast/AC.

Actually "prewrath" is the same as post-trib.

The opening of the 6th seal starts a series of global cataclysm brought about by the passage of the Star Wormwood (a brown dwarf a.k.a. PlanetX or Nibiru) around the sun. This is a natural disaster... NOT God's wrath. With the destruction of all infrastructures and disappearance of all govts, there will be chaos and famines around the world. The 10 kings (whoever they are) will request the Antichrist to take absolute power and restore order. He will decree the Mark on the forehead or right hand on every person to do any transaction, since all currencies have collapsed.

3.5 years before the Day of the Lord, the AC will desecrate the Temple and declares himself God to be worshiped... that is the start of the Great Trib. This is the time of Satan's wrath as those who refused the mark will be beheaded.

At the end of the 3.5 yrs of GT, is the gathering of the saints... the resurrection of those who died in Christ and rapture of the elect who are still alive. Immediately the 7 bowls of God's wrath are poured out in rapid succession in 10 days from the rapture to the return of Christ!

Pls note that:

Great Tribulation for world is 7years
Great Tribulation for Israel is 3.5yrs (shortened)

Matthew:24:22: "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened."
The Elect here mean the 144thousand Israelites and Tribulational saints who did not receive the mark of beast

There are 2 different periods or portions or parts for the term "Great Tribulation"

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."
the earlier verses read like this...M't:24:19: "And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!" ...China's tainted milk problem marks those days???
M't:24:20: But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
this year 2008 winter and sabbath(friday night) would be the start of Great Tribulation?

Matthew:24:29: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:"
these signs(maybe solar&lunar eclipses) must happen after those days (7year) later

Mark:13:24: "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,"
these signs(maybe solar&lunar eclipses) must happen after those days (7year) later

Revelations:2:22: "Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds."
Christ here mentioned He would punish the BAD Church (bride) with Great Tribulation

Revelations:7:14: "And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
One of The 24 Raptured Elder (possible Apostle or TribeChief) mentioned Raptured Saints came out of Great Trib

Russia and allies {Iran(Persia), Ethiopia, Libya, Turkey and former USSR states(Gomer, Togarmah)}would attacked Israel and they would be destroyed and weapons burnt 7 years.
Eze:39:9: And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:

The heathen would know God is in Israel...this proves this event is pre-millenium...the post millenium God&Mqagog is possible history repeating itself.

Eze:39:7: So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

Israel would be saved only by God as the whole world would not rescue and would just talk only like the recent "Georgian War" tested by Russia.

Israel escaped Great Tribulation for 3.5years here to build the Temple to Glorify God as all the walls in Israel would collapse and may include the Temple of Dome.
There would be 7months of burying the Russian dead bodies and then shall they have 2300days where Israel's army would be given up so that they can build the temple. the days of their santuary trodden under foot is 2300days. They would be peaceful until the beast sits in the temple...Israel shall flee 1260days. so Great Trib for Israel 1260days.

Daniel:8:14: And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

---------------------------------------------------------
Below are Bible passages of a second type of tribulation. Tribulation or Persecution of the saints. These are the period suffered by believers before great tribulations.
Pls do not be confused with the Great Tribulation.

M't:13:21: Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Christ means believers shall suffer common tribulations and He meant persecution...he did not mean only the believers of the Endtime great tribulation

Joh:16:33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Christ means believers shall suffer common tribulations...he did not mean only the believers of the Endtime great tribulation

Ac:14:22: Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
Paul means believers must suffer much tribulations...he did not mean the great tribulation

Ro:2:9: Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
Paul means anguish as common tribulations

Ro:5:3: And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Paul means sufferings as common tribulations

Ro:8:35: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Paul means sufferings as common tribulations

Ro:12:12: Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Paul means sufferings as common tribulations

2Co:1:4: Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
Paul means all sufferings as all common tribulations

2Co:7:4: Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
Paul means his sufferings as tribulations here

Eph:3:13: Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Paul means his sufferings as tribulations here

1Th:3:4: For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
Paul means his sufferings as tribulations here

2Th:1:4: So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
Paul means our persecutions also as tribulations

2Th:1:6: Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
Paul may mean God would punish those who trouble us with great tribulation

Re:1:9: I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
John means his sufferings also as tribulations

Re:2:9: I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Christ means our trials as tribulations

Re:2:10: Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Christ means our tribulation period is short may even be exact days and not years

Prewrath is same as post-trib? Thanks. I didn't know that.

Do you mind me asking, what do you think about Daniel 11 and the King of the South that is fighting the Antichrist and his forces? Also the ships of Chittim that come against him? It's a little unclear to me if the King of the North is also coming against him or if, in fact, the antichrist has taken over the King of the North's position, and after he does that, when it then refers to the King of the North, it's referring to the Antichrist. But anyway, my whole point is that how can the Antichrist require the whole world to take the mark of the beast to buy or sell when, in fact, there exists this whole other kingdom that is fighting against him?

And let me add for AC 224676, concerning women being silent, what the Word of God says about women in the end times in Joel 2:28: And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

If you refuse to listen to what women have to say because of a commonly misunderstood verse out of the whole Bible, then you just might miss something the Lord himself wants to say to you.

Dogma at its finest. Keep the woman shut out of everything, so man can dominate.

Gotta love those re-writes of God - obviously, by men !!!

Yeah, women have it the worst of all minorities, always have. I suppose that poster would have a problem, too, if a woman was his 1st grade son's teacher and she taught her class it was wrong to murder someone. Isn't that one of God's 10 commandments? Should she keep silent on speaking out against that too and instead not be teaching boys? It's ridiculous. I'm not here trying to lead a church. That's the absolute LAST thing in the world I'd want to do. Oh the headaches! All I merely said was that the word of God forbids Christians from practicing astrology. Lord have mercy... Maybe that poster should move to Saudi Arabia.

Doing some witch hunting Michelle ? If there is a witch on here somewhere ,that would be you I think.( Heh-don't y'all get mad at me now.) Want to do a search ? Check out Michelle's post on Obama being an agent of occult forces and standing on ley lines to enhance his power. She gets this wacky info from Matthew Deloozle and cites him as a source. He's an antichristian lunatic. Check out HIS site if you want to journey in la-la land. This is the kind of thing that passes for "research" in post-tribulational circles.


Is mundane astrology witchcraft ? Witchcraft and divination is forbidden in the Bible to pagans who used astrology to worship and commune with evil discarnates. The pagans are still at it at least in areas I evangelize. The curses on the Bible are directed very specifically against this idolatry of pagan gods( devils). But here is a question Michelle wiill never answer adequately: Is ALL ASTROLOGY forbidden by the Bible ? If by astrology we mean that the stars ARE a symbolic language and that this language can be READ as signs or omens of the future the answer is NO. Michelle pretends this distinction doesn't exist. And why am I not surprised ? Post-tribulationists pretty much believe that distinctionS in general do not exist. Witness the OP's less than stellar exegesis. But I digress.



JESUS HIMSELF cited astrological signs. In His endtime discourses he said there would be SIGNS in the SUN<MOON AND STARS. Was Jesus a witch ? I don't think so.


The MAGI,the "wise men", who are termed "astrologers in the New English Bible, found their way to Jesus using astrology.The STAR OF BETHLEHEM, in and of itself,puts the lie upon all those who wish to paint Ichabod across ALL astrology. A long line of Christian astronomers have studied and written books about that phenomenon. Beginning with Kepler and as recently as 2006, they all demonstrate that the Magi used a semantic that was native to the Middle Eastern areas,particularly in the old Persian area. In short the stars are a type of subject and their constellational setting is the predicate of whatever it is they mirror in their varying configurations. A language denoting different kings,kingdoms and even geographical areas is what the Magi used to interpret the Star of Bethlehem. Joseph Seiss, a german Lutheran clergyman wrote "The Gospel in the Stars" to demonstrate this principle.



In PSALM we read the heavens " DECLARE the GLORY of God". No witchcraft here !They 'UTTERETH SPEECH" and "SHOWETH KNOWLEDGE". Pretty neat huh ? We are told there is no place their VOICE is not heard. Astrology is a universal symbolic semantic. And here is undoubtedly what Jesus had in mind citing signs in the heaven in the ENDTIME:


" Their line is gone out through all the earth, their WORDS to the END OF THE WORLD".(Psalm 19:4)




When Daniel became HEAD of the Magi in babylon,there is no word he banned astrology. He headed up the operation and he was the greatest prophet of the Old testament,one Jesus Himself cites in the gospels. Christians throughout the Christian age have believed that there is a pure astrology completely distinct from what is cursed to the pagans in the OT. Pierre D'Ailly saw it as an adjunct to prophecy, as do I btw. Thomas Aquinas wrote of the validity of astrology within proscribed bounds in Summa Contra Gentiles and elsewhere. From that medieval period through to the time of Cromwell, astrology was seen as legitimate when there is no pagan spiritism involved.Many Anglican clergy actually had almanacs they produced. The biggest issue was free will and God's will.Thomas solved that one succinctly:

SAPIENS DOMINABITUR ASTRIS


The wise man rules the stars. He went on to posit that most are not wise and that THAT is why the fate of Nations can be "read" in the stars which mirror the broad strokes of God's Providence through time. God's judgements on the nations are deterministic but men still had free individual will,in Christ, to escape the collective.



I could go on and on,but I am on a thread where the light is,let's just call it a bit "DIM" on here. my pointn is that Michelle is being fundamentally dishonest saying i do "witchcraft". She is mad at me because here and on other threads I have made it my business to demolish the Post-Tribulationist's heresy. Notice she didn't answer or post about my many carefully wrought criticisms or textual and linguistic analyses about the Rapture in the Bible. She didn't because she knows that she cannot stand up to the truth that there IS a pre-tribulational rapture. The Bible is just TOO CLEAR on that subject. She and I have had some controversy on this before and if I were she, i wouldn't want to get into the subject with me either. But to simply catcall "witch" from the sidelines is just too pathetic and infantile to ignore.


If you want to find evidence of someone being bewitched, reread this thread and check out the gibberish the OP posts about 2 Thessalonians. Want voodoo eschatology ?Investigate post-tribulationism and what passes as Bible interpretation among them. They don't get these crazy conclusions about interpretation from putting scriptures together. I know they don't. The OP proved it when he mistook an olde English word for a proper rendering of the greek and used it in a way that was exactly backwards and opposite the meaning of the actual word. I think this ass-backwards approach is called widdershins by the wiccans ,if I am not mistaken. The devils do a lot of things backwards. I wonder-does OP have a familiar ? Heh,heh.



I shook the dust from my shoes already here...but I couldn't let this last little cheap shot go by without a response.On top of being heretical and engaging in slipshod Biblical eisegesis, these post-tribbers have some major characterological faults...honesty being at the top of the list.



I honestly do wonder...they are concerned about witches. I wonder whether THEY meet on full Moons out in the woods somewhere and do Bible study there ? Judging from what passes as Bible doctrine in this circle, they might be communing with familiar spirits to get this Post-Tribulational false doctrine. They certainly didn't get it from the Bible or the Holy Spirit.THAT is for sure.



Anyway, if anyone wants to see my post "Astrology and the Bible" and other related posts; check these out in the TOPICS area of the archives under Astrology. You won't find any pagan idolatry there; but you may be surprised what a gift astrology can be in these last days as we observe the world getting ever closer to the war prophesied by Ezekial in Ch. 38 &39 of his text and the pre-tribulation Rapture. we cannot know the day or hour,but Jesus said we would have a proximate sense that the harvest was nigh. The stars help us to see this in much the same way they helped the Magi. The stars led the first worshippers of Jesus to His first advent. It stands to reason these wondrous creations will help light the way to His Second advent as well. Jesus indicated this in his endtime discourses. There are indeed SIGNS in the SUN,MOON and STARS.

My, my, what a pretty, shiny picture you do paint of what is STILL witchcraft, a device of Satan to foretell the future. But this isn't surprising, considering Satan himself appears as an angel of light.

Your astrology is nothing but a chocolate-covered turd. Sweet on the outside but putrid on the inside. And your device foretelling sure let you down, didn't it, when you predicted by astrology that McCain would win. Like Wingedlion said to you, when you use a device of Satan, you end up looking like a fool in the end.

Well, as usual Michelle,you fail to address the scriptures and illustrations I cite and the very lucid argument I present.


Re my "record". The terrible seachange of August came true. I posted on that in the Spring. We had talk of WW3 in the air, true to what the stars heralded. And the US sent a flotilla of warships in readiness to attack Iran then too.THESE ARE signs that Ezekial's war is about to break forth and that the pre-tribulation rapture is very near.


More recently, just days after i posted about the dangers to Obama. SEVERAL sources in the media echoed what the stars heralded. i noticed you scrupulously avoid wha many on GLP have admitted as a vindication of astrology.More SELECTIVE filtering of the real world.


You cite Wingedlion. He is a lunatic. He thinks he has been appointed to battle the "Evil Queen Hepzibah" in the heavenlies. Care to elaborate on that Michelle ? Or on Obama' s ley lines ? Your sources are a bit tainted dear.


You didn't try to support your claim against astrology because you cannot. And you know, your chosen imagery in this last post is evidence that you really are quite tasteless and you think in terms unbecoming a lady. I think I noticed before. Anyway, I really don't want to waste any more cyberprint on you. Ciao.

Here are a few of the Biblical sources who vindicate the stars as a mode of God's prophetic Word:


1)JESUS



2) THE MAGI




3) THE PSALMIST




4) DANIEL



We could adduce the author of Genesis who said the stars are for SIGNS and seasons and times. And other. But the point is that the "lady", and I use the term"lady" advisedly, in the above post STILL claims the stars are nothing but witchcraft. Jesus Himself cited signs in the stars. I'm sure this is a new one on him !! Anyway, when I look at the list above,I am in pretty good company I would say.

I'm outta here. It's a nice day out. Too nice to stay inside for cyberspace pillow fights with post-tribulationists who fly around on brooms apparently.

That's because it's pointless with you. You're an arrogant man with an unteachable spirit. I'm not going to waste my time.


So what, so you manage to strike a few ones right. And Satan can counterfeit some of the miracles of the Lord too. When the Lord speaks, it is 100% right.





Wingedlion is not a lunatic, and I take personal affront to you saying that. He's a friend of mine, and he's closer to the Lord than you are or ever have been.



You know, VH, lastly, I have nothing personal against you. I think sometimes your writing is hilarious, you have me laughing hard, and I also think you have a way with words that is very unique, a true writer's gift. I just don't see that you exhibit the fruits of the Spirit. "By their fruits, you will know them." If you were off doing your astrology thing on this forum and not professing to be a Christian, I wouldn't say a word to you. But it's when you cross that line into Christianity and try to pollute the Word of God and the believers of God, that's when I step up and say something about it.

You think you've got me pinned because of a tiny word "let"? That's the best you can do? Whether I'm right or not about this tiny intrepretation does not nullify the fact that that chapter still teaches the gathering of the church as happening at the day of Christ.
This puts a kibosh on your tiny insignificant argument that amounts to absolutely nothing. So you can try to spin it all you want. It won't work. The bible will slap truth in your face everytime.

OP-you faker. You pinned your whole interpreation of the function of the restrainer in 2 Thessalonians on that tiny word. And you pretend you can read the scriptures in an intelligible way.


And that wasn't your only "infirmity", I posted at length about how you read Luke 17 and Jesus' utilization of Lot and Noah in a way that is the exact opposite of what Jesus intended. And I posted scriptures like Rev. 3:10 which you have no answer fpor. And luke 21:36 and many others. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE KIDDING ?


And on and on. Your whole endtime schematic is messed up. Why am I not surprised ? Post-tribulationism is indefensible from a Biblical point of view. You have to go into the land of OZ or maybe Ozzie Osbourne to try to teach that. And that's where you're at. And you know what, I take back that reference to Ozzie. At least he doesn't twist and distort Holy Scripture under the guise of being a prophecy teacher. And he's a great singer. he's more likely to have a real conversion to Christ than you are at this point, OP.



Anyway, now you are trying to say I base my opposition to your false teaching on one word. i cited at least half a dozen or more different areas of scripture wherein your view is flatlt contradicted. AND YOU KNOW IT. Being dishonest is second nature to you OP. I have no respect for you at all at this point. You are a pretense .

Hmmm, that - of VH - sure does sound familiar!!

Do you all do this in church too? Endless arguing?

Sure seems like a lot of wasted engery, for what ....... nothing.

Your characterization of a desire to get a clear picture of what the Bible says about the endtime in which we are livingas "nothing"speaks volumes of where you're at Tumblewood. I, for one, wouldn't want to be there. Not at this late hour.

You don't have the capacity to be where I am, you are too close-minded and dogmatic.

And by the way, your renaming of my nik was quite juvenile.

You know, I really do have to go. And to PROVE there is no hard feelings I want to promise you that I am going to be nicer in the future, yes even to a bunch of false teachers and reptiles and assorted idlers and blackguards. When you are taken out early tomorrow morning to be executed there will be lace hoods for the ladies and smokes for the men. So don't tell me I am arrogant or not a nice person. Under the circumstances, that's pretty damned generous I would say. Love to all.

You sure get riled easily. Here, I'll share something with ya ......

Most people mistake Daniel's 70th Week with the Great Trib. Daniel's 70th Week is the last 7 years of man's 6000 years rule on earth. It is called a Week because it is a Sabbath Cycle... and at its midpoint (3.5yrs) is the Abomination of Desolation when the AC desecrates the Temple in Jerusalem. This event kicks off the Great Trib... only for those people who refused to take the Mark of AC or worship him. For the unbelievers there's no problem, they took the mark and life goes on for them, working and getting married.

Going back to Daniel's 70th week, during this period of 7 years there will be a global cataclysm (7 Trumpets of Rev) brought about by the Star Wormwood... which will cause widespread destruction around the World, but this is not the Great Trib Jesus spoke of.

Yes, Jesus said those days will be shortened... precisely due to the fact the last Sabbath Cycle ends a year ahead of the 6000th yr!

Here is the calculation: 6000 yrs divided by 7 yrs = 857.14285 cycles. That remainder 0.14285 is exactly 1 year.

Therefore Jesus will return on the last Sabbath Year... exactly 1 year ahead of man's allotted 6000 years!

For those who are watching... knowing the Sabbath years is crucial to watch for the possible beginning of Daniel's 70th Week. The Sabbath years are 2008/9, 2015/6, 2022/3....

When the AC comes to power it is very possible there are still nations with rulers and pockets of resistance in different parts of the World. Notice the Bible said the AC will rise up with power given to him by the "10 kings."
