Why the Rapture may be sooner than many people think.

Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.
But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come,
he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?
Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.


Matthew 24:42-46

Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods.
But if that evil servant says in his heart, 'My master is delaying his coming,'
and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards,
the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of,
and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


Matthew 24:47-51

Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.
And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.
Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
And likewise he who had received two gained two more also.
But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord's money.
After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.


Matthew 25:13-19

When someone repeatably (well over 100 posts - many since deleted) posts dozens of bible verses that are only marginally connected to the topic of discussion then it counts as spam.

Job 33
24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth:

26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

Thank you AC5543 I'd overlooked those posts.

"Marginally connected" to the topic?

Matthew 24, 1 Thessalonians and Revelation are ALL connected to the fake pre-trib rapture.

Or in this case not connected at all, because there is no fake Rapture. Except perhaps some NWO spaceship/aliens dog & pony show.

Scriptural PROOF that there IS NOT A PRE-TRIB rapture.

Jesus said....

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.

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.

This short passage PROVES that Believers - "the elect" - will STILL BE ON EARTH during the Tribulation.

CASE CLOSED.

OK, you win.

You happy?

Are you done now?

There is no such thing as a rapture. Period. Grow up and get a life. You'e going to have to face the world and your life as it is. No one is going to rescue you. To think otherwise is childish and delusional.

It's now about "me" - I didn't "win" anything.

It's about truth - and preparing folks for what's coming.



Matthew 24:31 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.

Mark 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Jesus Judges, not YOU.

Case closed in your own addled mind perhaps, but you really need to try harder this argument has more holes in it than in a colander. No one ever said that there will not be believers on the earth during the Great Tribulation so I do wish that you would stop trying to score cheap points with misleading statements.

As I have mentioned numerous times the Elect will be, as best I know a mixture partly of Christians who where not right with the Lord at the time of the Rapture, but who where jolted out of their backslidden ways and turned to the Lord while they where still able. Another part will be people, mainly from countries where Christianity is only a small minority, but who turned to the Lord as they realised that He really is who He says He is, and that their previous religious beliefs where false. And various people of Hebrew heritage, along with the 144,000 male virgins of the 12 tribes of Israel who will be chosen by the Lord.

NONSENSE.

Jesus "collects" the elect from BOTH earth and heaven when He returns.

Matthew 24:31 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.

Mark 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
--------------------------------------

Paul's passage ALSO PROVES this.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1 Thessalonians 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.

-------------------------------------
One last point - is that the above passages also validate the "multitudes" at the Fifth Seal of Revelation 6 and the Sixth Seal of Revelation 7.

Scripture IS TRUE.

Just because you claim to believe and love Jesus doesn't CHANGE scripture.

Yeah I know that, I just forgot to add the Elect from heaven, which of course includes the Raptured.

Why would he need to collect any pre-trib raptured people if they are already with him in heaven? The reason is there are none. They are not raptured/caught up until he comes to collect them.

What are you hitting on me for? AC3689 is the one who used the word "collects" and I was replying to him. All you are doing is trying to annoy me with stupid little word games. But then on the other hand if all your best arguments are mud I suppose that that is all that you have left.

Why do you think you think well?

Psalms 45
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.

16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

If the event happens then it may not live up to your expectations.

What do you know gainsayer.
