bee

i agree given the statements by paul

more info?

when he talks about the rapture he first mentions the bodily ressurection of our lord then says we will not all sleep and all will rise when he comes.

jesus talks about the last day having one ressurection. for the damned to hell and for the christians to eternalife. i like to take jesus at his word.

The rapture is clearly stated in 1Th 4:16-17:

Step 1: The Lord himself will come down from heaven

Step 2: The dead in Christ will rise first

Step 3: We who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air.

Step 4: And so we will be with the Lord forever.

do proper exegesis and tell me what that means to the saved gentile and or jew in the tribulation?

I wanna' do improper exegesis! :P

"Tribulation" comes from unfulfilled prophecy, whose private interpretation cannot be certain.

God's people have a miserable track record of interpreting prophecy before it is fulfilled.

So I don't engage in what is not certain.

I stick to what is plain and certain, with the certain knowledge that what is not plain and certain will be in agreement with what is.

But what is certain is clearly stated in 1Th 4:16-17.

Therefore, one's understanding of the meaning of anything in unfulfilled prophecy (tribulation) whose meaning cannot be certain, must be in agreement with what is certain in 1Th 4:16-17, as it relates to the saved gentile and or jew in the tribulation.

and with this -- john 5

28Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

29And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation

one ressurection at the same time for the lost and the saved.

john 6

40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

These are not prophecy. Their meaning is certain.

1) At the end of time, Jesus will descend from heaven with a loud command (Come forth!) -- (Jn 5:28-29),

and all that are in their graves shall hear his voice and come forth, the sheep and the goats.

2) Those in the ground who are in Christ will come forth with glorified bodies. (1Th 4:16)

3) Those in Christ who are above the ground will be transformed instantaneously. (1Co 15:52)

4) Then both will rise to meet the Lord in the air (1Th 4:17),

5) and accompany Jesus down to earth (1Th 4:14) in the parousia.

beeep, beep. attention earth, the rapture has occured t-minus 6 years 364 days and 59 days till the lord comes. somehow that violates the very idea of know man knoweth the hour. unless you can prove to me that in the tribulation that man isnt a man anymore. the problem is here that either god decieves the new believers in that dont know the raptured happened or that its wrong or they do know? a million plus believers gone in one day will be noticed!

ironic, every time i talk this stuff its the futurists who gave the very reason to walk way from it all, none of the preterists or historicsts really convinced me. i tried to really defend it and each time it was some futurist making one of these statements. apparently you arent aware of the barrier tween jew and christian and the fact that jews are jealous of us at times. they wont say it but im sure looking at what we have done with the word and how we live it does get them angry and green.

Could you be a little more specific. I'm not really understanding what you are saying here.

simple, when the rapture occurs as you say with the seven year trib or mid trib, all the world if the read the bible and believed it would know exactly when christ would come back. thus negating the very verse of no man knoweth the hour.

Preterism is a false belief system.

so america was founded by a bunch of heretics(puritans believed closely to what i do)?

up to 200 yrs ago isreal wasnt even considered to come back. yet if it so clear and easily seen then why was it so hidden? and theres a difference tween full and partial so i should trust van impe when he says this chapter is happening in front of us and yet is wrong?

http://prophecydebate.com/?p=337

one of many with him and alot of the popular futurists. if you all really believe that rapture thing then why not donate your estate to the jews when you die? i know of a man that suggests that and has ministry in doing just that.

Huh? What does America have to do with it? What does my last will and testament have to do with anything? Should I be alive when Jesus comes, and that is possible, who would ever be around worthy enough to execute it when the world will be utterly in chaos?

It isn't something God is telling me to do. I have unsaved relatives that could use our estate. The Lord God will be dealing with the Jew as He has in the past.

it doesnt matter if the jew the whole reason the trib is to be as the jews are the ones to witness to the world. oddly so you dont think that the lord will come in your lifetime. i have read this mans book and it was given to me by a godly man as i asked him how do i defend the futurist position and yet it doesnt do that well. interesting points but i strongly disagree. it was my forage into looking into ancient and modern judaism that led me to conclude that futurism for the most part is off.

I believe it is entirely possible that the Lord will take His Bride in my lifetime. The whole reason for the Tribulation is not for the Jews to be a witness to the world. It is for the Lord to reveal to them once again who Messiah is, and to pour down judgment upon the Earth.

I have no idea what this newfangled term,'futurism' is, but believing what God says about the times ahead doesn't merit a moniker.

its a common term to describe what is taugh today by most of the churches.

the world already knows who the messiah is and well why then isnt an land outside of rome mentioned and all the symbols and beasts saw by john look close to what daniel says? and in daniel they are all named but one. and the last is id late by historical events that fit what the last beast did.

the eu is dead and well heres why. the modern economic crisis and if theres an aod . i should then look for some jewish revolt? the biggest problem for the tribbers is how they have to squirm around the idea of the temple being holy again. if its profaned again then it has to be holy! and what does matter to us if a man is worshipped by the jews? the aod spoken of by daniel was seen first by the jews in the days of antiochus and then when nero ordered the fall of jerusalem.

No, the world doesn't already know who the Messiah is, and the Jew has for the last 2000 years denied Him. In the Tribulation, God will be focused on them, and they will know in no uncertain terms, who their Messiah is, by the ministrations of the 144,000 and by the signs and wonders of the two prophets.

Preterism misplaces actual fulfillment of many prophecies, and cuts off so much in the way of prophecy that has not been fulfilled yet, and that includes the abomination of desolation. You really must shake off this false teaching.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
