    In Matthew 24:37-39, Jesus described His return for the church on a day when everyone will be conducting normal daily routines, business as usual activities. The rapture can only be Pre-Trib.

    Other Pre-Trib scriptures: Isaiah 26:19-27:1, Hebrews 12:22-29, Romans 5:9, Hebrews 9:28, 2 Peter 2:9 and 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10.

    Proverbs 19:17
    He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord,
    And He will pay back what he has given.

    Proverbs 31:8-9 (ERV)
    8 Speak up for people who cannot speak for themselves. Help people who are in trouble. 9 Stand up for what you know is right, and judge all people fairly. Protect the rights of the poor and those who need help.

  1. The entire prophecy of the Time of Jacob's Trouble is found in two chapters in the book of Jeremiah 30-31. It describes the ordeal of the Jewish people and their struggle from the beginning of this period at the Abomination of Desolation lasting the entire second half of the tribulation all the way to the end, the time of their redemption when God pours out His holy spirit upon all of Israel shortly into the millennium and the time of the gathering after the tribulation The prophecy foretells a time in the future when God's promise (His covenant) to Israel that all the Jewish people will receive the holy spirit by the end of the tribulation and will begin a relationship coming to know Him personally. Through the help of the holy spirit, the Jewish people will know God's laws and fully understand them perfectly, having no problem keeping and honoring those laws as they will take delight in doing God's will, Psalm 37:4. Jeremiah 31:31-34 New King James Version (NKJV) 31 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” This promise is also revealed in parallel scriptures below. Blessed be that day when God finally sends all of Israel the holy spirit and begin a personal relationship with all Jewish people. They will all know Him and His righteousness, and their sins forgiven and remember no more. Ezekiel 39:25-29 New King James Version (NKJV) 25 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name— 26 after they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, when they dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid. 27 When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and I am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations, 28 then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer. 29 And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.” Isaiah 59:20-21 New King James Version (NKJV) 20 “The Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,” Says the Lord. 21 “As for Me,” says the Lord, “this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” says the Lord, “from this time and forevermore.” Hebrews 10:12-18 New King James Version (NKJV) 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. 15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,”17 then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. Hebrews 8:7-12 New King James Version (NKJV) 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
  2. There's a difference between one person building a place for someone else to dwell in versus the other person actually accepting that person's invitation. Solomon building a temple for God doesn't mean God will actually dwell in it. You think you can figure out the difference someday? So far it just continuously goes over your head. Acts 17:24 New King James Version (NKJV) 24 “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Acts 7:48 New King James Version (NKJV) 48 “However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: You're just boring to talk to inchrist.
  3. ROFL!!! Love to see how you'll react after reading this. Two nights in a row too. Here, go down 14 verses to 1 Kings 8:27 and read it. Solomon built the temple but knows God will not dwell in it. 1 Kings 8:12-27 New King James Version (NKJV) 12 Then Solomon spoke: “The Lord said He would dwell in the dark cloud. 13 I have surely built You an exalted house, And a place for You to dwell in forever.” 14 Then the king turned around and blessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing. 15 And he said: “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David, and with His hand has fulfilled it, saying, 16 ‘Since the day that I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there; but I chose David to be over My people Israel.’ 17 Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel. 18 But the Lord said to my father David, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well that it was in your heart. 19 Nevertheless you shall not build the temple, but your son who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for My name.’ 20 So the Lord has fulfilled His word which He spoke; and I have filled the position of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised; and I have built a temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel. 21 And there I have made a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord which He made with our fathers, when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.” 22 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven; 23 and he said: “Lord God of Israel, there is no God in heaven above or on earth below like You, who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts. 24 You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day. 25 Therefore, Lord God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.’ 26 And now I pray, O God of Israel, let Your word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David my father. 27 “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built! And in other translations. 1 Kings 8:27 (CEB) But how could God possibly live on earth? If heaven, even the highest heaven, can't contain you, how can this temple that I've built contain you? 1 Kings 8:27 (ESV) "But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built! 1 Kings 8:27 (GNT) "But can you, O God, really live on earth? Not even all of heaven is large enough to hold you, so how can this Temple that I have built be large enough? 1 Kings 8:27 (KJV) But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded? 1 Kings 8:27 (NCV) "But, God, can you really live here on the earth? The sky and the highest place in heaven cannot contain you. Surely this house which I have built cannot contain you. Once again, refuted by a verse taken from the same book and from the same chapter for two nights in a row now. Boy you really put your foot in your mouth. So what was that about a paradox? It only took me a couple of minutes to read the rest of the chapter and notice your error.......again! And here again you sound like the story of the guy who won the lottery at work and then decided to go flick his finger at his boss and shouts "I quit!" He then goes to the store to cash in on his ticket only to find out from the cashier that he didn't read his lottery numbers correctly because he didn't read the rest of the numbers written at the bottom. Here, carefully read what it said at the bottom of your lottery ticket. 1 Kings 8:27 (CEB) But how could God possibly live on earth? If heaven, even the highest heaven, can't contain you, how can this temple that I've built contain you? 1 Kings 8:27 (ESV) "But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built! 1 Kings 8:27 (GNT) "But can you, O God, really live on earth? Not even all of heaven is large enough to hold you, so how can this Temple that I have built be large enough? 1 Kings 8:27 (KJV) But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded? 1 Kings 8:27 (NCV) "But, God, can you really live here on the earth? The sky and the highest place in heaven cannot contain you. Surely this house which I have built cannot contain you.
  4. Here, go down 13 verses to Acts 17:24 and read this. God doesn't dwell in temples made by human hands. Acts 17:24 New King James Version (NKJV) 24 “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Refuted by a verse taken from the same book and same chapter too. Here, read this again. Go down 13 verses to Acts 17:24 and read this. God doesn't dwell in temples made by human hands. Acts 17:24 New King James Version (NKJV) 24 “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Refuted by a verse taken from the same book and same chapter too. Nobody said God is dwelling in the 3rd temple. That's just more nonsense from you. I certainly never said that. You're not genuinely asking questions. You're demanding answers to avoid having to provide evidence on your views that were proven wrong and refuted. Read the bible. You don't need me. The answer is right in front of you. The book of Haggai is only 2 chapters short. You can't figure out just two chapters?
  5. Read the entire chapter of Ezra 3. Show us where there's a resurrection mentioned or needed in this chapter. Ezra 3New King James Version (NKJV) Worship Restored at Jerusalem 3 And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem. 2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren, arose and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God. 3 Though fear had comeupon them because of the people of those countries, they set the altar on its bases; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord, both the morning and evening burnt offerings. 4 They also kept the Feast of Tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings in the number required by ordinance for each day. 5 Afterwards they offered the regular burnt offering, and those for New Moons and for all the appointed feasts of the Lord that were consecrated, and those of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to the Lord. 6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, although the foundation of the temple of the Lord had not been laid. 7 They also gave money to the masons and the carpenters, and food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar logs from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the permission which they had from Cyrus king of Persia. Restoration of the Temple Begins 8 Now in the second month of the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began work and appointed the Levites from twenty years old and above to oversee the work of the house of the Lord. 9 Then Jeshua with his sons and brothers, Kadmiel with his sons, and the sons of Judah, arose as one to oversee those working on the house of God: the sons of Henadad with their sons and their brethren the Levites. 10 When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the Lord, according to the ordinance of David king of Israel. 11 And they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the Lord: “For He is good, For His mercy endures forever toward Israel.” Then all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. 12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of the fathers’ houses, old men who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this temple was laid before their eyes. Yet many shouted aloud for joy, 13 so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the sound was heard afar off. You're not in any position to make demands unless you can provide some type of proof in support of your view. So far, you've produce nothing but made request after request. You obviously have no evidence and cannot prove your point. And you can't even prove there's a resurrection in Ezra 3. You clearly don't have any credential to be a teacher inchrist.
  6. It doesn't work that way. You can't weasel your way out of a jam by requesting evidence on a new topic after having been proven wrong. The burden of proof now shifts onto your shoulder to either provide evidence in support your view or disprove the evidence presented against you. If you can't refute what was presented, you can concede. If you're not about to present any evidence, it's logical to conclude you have none and is therefore in no position able to make further request for additional evidence, particularly on a new topic.
  7. Soon as you're able to show us how you came up with a resurrection simply by reading Ezra 2:12-13. 12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of the fathers’ houses, old men who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this temple was laid before their eyes. Yet many shouted aloud for joy, 13 so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the sound was heard afar off. First a 2500 year gap, now a resurrection. What else are you gonna inject into scripture to make your eschatology work?
  8. The depiction is real and accurate. A much better translation of the 6th seal than some of the ones I've seen from people speculating a cosmic events like a meteor shower. No, that's incorrect. The "entire" 6th seal is the rapture of the church. Concurrently the 144,000 are also seal at the same time at the beginning of the tribulation. Not everyone can understand the seals because not everyone's knowledge of prophecy are at the same level. Some just knows more than others while some know far less. Not everyone has the gift of prophecy either. Not everyone is at the same level. If you don't see it, it doesn't mean it's not there. Revelation 6:15-17 is a description of the people's reaction after being left behind knowing they will now have to endure the wrath of God. The tribulation begins shortly after the moment of silence in prayer. No. None of the Seals are open in the tribulation. NONE! This is an error someone made and everyone else just follow suit and accepted the idea without scrutinizing scripture. The first 6 trumpets occur in the first half the tribulation. The 7th tribulation occurs just shortly after the midpoint. The rest of the tribulation are the 7 vials. The tribulation aka the wrath of God ends at the 7th vial. Revelation 15:1 New King James Version (NKJV) 15 Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. The tribulation aka the wrath of God begins after the 6th Seal, or for those who are technical, at the 1st trumpet. Revelation 6:17 New King James Version (NKJV) 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” None of the Seals, Trumpets and Vials are concurrent, overlapping each other. They are all in sequential order. No. That's something I've always been saying for years now. Long before ever meeting Keras a few years ago on another Christian site. We don't agree on everything but we both know the world is currently at the 5th Seal and the next prophetic event in the book of Revelation is the 6th Seal. I know this because I know what the other seals are and also how they relate to the signs Christ gave in the discourses. If you can understand the prophecies Jesus gave of the signs before His return posed by the apostles, there would be no doubt in your head. The signs He give are unmistakably obvious. A great example will be the rapture that will usher in the tribulation. Nobody in the world will miss this event when it happens. All, including atheists and unbelievers will begin to believe just as it was 2000 years ago during the first coming when many supernatural signs and miracles took place that ultimately convinced many doubters that Jesus was the real deal. This time, the first great miracle He'll perform will be the rapture of the church when He comes for His bride. The manifestation of the 4th beast isn't complete till the later part of the first half of the tribulation after the the a/c uproots 3 other horns, than establish peace, and finally becomes the beast at the midpoint after satan gets kicked out of heaven. Currently he's just the man of sin, the son of perdition. Not yet the beast till the kingdom is given to him. Then he's revealed and goes out conquering and to conquer. Sorry but your one seven is off by a three point five. No. The building of the temple isn't what ushers in the tribulation, the rapture is what commences Daniel's 70th week. The first day of the tribulation happens on the day of the rapture, not the construction of the temple. The temple will take far more than one day to complete. If it's the temple that starts the tribulation? On what day of the construction of the temple does the tribulation begin? Nobody's gonna know because they temple will take many days to complete. When you see the foundation of the temple being built, then know the rapture and the tribulation is near. Haggai 2:6-7 New King James Version (NKJV) 6 “For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts. Haggai 2:18-22 New King James Version (NKJV) 18 ‘Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid—consider it: 19 Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will bless you.’” 20 And again the word of the Lord came to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying, 21 “Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: ‘I will shake heaven and earth. 22 I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms. I will overthrow the chariots And those who ride in them; The horses and their riders shall come down, Every one by the sword of his brother. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=haggai+2&version=NKJV Many people know the length of the tribulation. Several scriptures gives you the length of the first half and Daniel gave the number of days in the second half. Again as I've said, not everyone's knowledge of prophecy are the same. If you don't know, it only means you don't know, not everyone else. The other thing is there are multiple Day of the Lord. The Day of the Lord is the day He comes for His bride at the rapture. The Day of the Lord is also the day of the second coming. The Day of the Lord is also the day of His wrath. The Day of the Lord is also the day of His salvation when He saves His elects. The Day of the Lord is also the day of His glory when He defeats the a/c, etc. There are many days of the Lord during Daniel's 70th week. It's easy to figure out the end once the tribulation began. Luke 17:22 New King James Version (NKJV) 22 Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. Incorrect. We are most definitely at the 5th Seal. It's easy to know this not because of the mounting evidences of Christian persecution hitting all time highs the last 5 years but from other evidences that coincide with the first 4 Seals as well that had taken place as they line up with the signs Christ gave in His discourse as recorded by Matthew and Mark. The Seals are pre-trib events which Jesus called the signs of sorrow. You need to figure out what they are and not deny them simple because you don't understand them yet. I don't know where you're get this from. Certainly not from me as I've never said such a thing. Other than that a happy new year.
  9. Piece of cake. I already posted the scripture with the video earlier today for approval. The second temple was built on poverty made of wood and tin. Haggai mentions the glory of this temple exceeding the previous temple in Haggai 2:9. This is ABSOLUTE proof this is the 3rd temple. Haggai 2:9 The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” I'm two steps away ahead of you! ROFL! Ezra 3:8-13 New King James Version (NKJV) 8 Now in the second month of the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began work and appointed the Levites from twenty years old and above to oversee the work of the house of the Lord. 9 Then Jeshua with his sons and brothers, Kadmiel with his sons, and the sons of Judah, arose as one to oversee those working on the house of God: the sons of Henadad with their sons and their brethren the Levites. 10 When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the Lord, according to the ordinance of David king of Israel. 11 And they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the Lord: “For He is good, For His mercy endures forever toward Israel.” Then all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. 12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of the fathers’ houses, old men who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this temple was laid before their eyes. Yet many shouted aloud for joy, 13 so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people,for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the sound was heard afar off. Now prove God destroyed the gentile nations 2500 years ago.
  10. Oops! I think I just scared inchrist away. Must be logged off scrambling to find a rebuttal for Haggai 2:22. ROFL!
  11. Than prove God destroyed the gentile nations 2500 years ago if this is a prophecy of the second temple. Haggai 2:18-22 New King James Version (NKJV) 18 ‘Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid—consider it: 19 Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will bless you.’” 20 And again the word of the Lord came to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying, 21 “Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: ‘I will shake heaven and earth. 22 I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms. I will overthrow the chariots And those who ride in them; The horses and their riders shall come down, Every one by the sword of his brother.
  12. Revelation 11:1-2 are referring to the same temple. If you think Revelation 11:2 is speaking of a temple on earth, than why do you insist there's no tribulation temple?
  13. Leave it to inchrist to inject a 2500 year gap between verse 20 and verses 21/22 because he can't prove God destroyed the gentile nations after the foundation of the temple was laid. Haggai 2:18-22 New King James Version (NKJV) 18 ‘Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid—consider it: 19 Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will bless you.’” 20 And again the word of the Lord came to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying, 21 “Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: ‘I will shake heaven and earth. 22 I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms. I will overthrow the chariots And those who ride in them; The horses and their riders shall come down, Every one by the sword of his brother.
  14. Seeking video approval Ezra 3:8-13 New King James Version (NKJV) 8 Now in the second month of the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began work and appointed the Levites from twenty years old and above to oversee the work of the house of the Lord. 9 Then Jeshua with his sons and brothers, Kadmiel with his sons, and the sons of Judah, arose as one to oversee those working on the house of God: the sons of Henadad with their sons and their brethren the Levites. 10 When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the Lord, according to the ordinance of David king of Israel. 11 And they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the Lord: “For He is good, For His mercy endures forever toward Israel.” Then all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. 12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of the fathers’ houses, old men who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this temple was laid before their eyes.
