Nevertheless, after saying all of this... I will try all by best to react or quote your post... soon! 

Your brother in Christ, Skyward Believer :)

Well, here's a brief reply to your post... I strongly believe that It would be great if we could avoid the tribubations hours... When, I began to be a New Born-Again Christian I believed in the pre-tribulation rapture! However, since my studies on the Book of Revelations and other Bible verses about the last days... I have come to realize that the rapture will probably happen just before the Second Return of Jesus-Christ, our Lord and Savior, on Earth! Why, would the Word of God strongly advise us to not take the Mask of Beast, if we were raptured before the tribulations hours? If, we do not die during the first seven seals from wars, famines, pestilences... Etc. Mostly, all Christians will be beheaded for their Faith in God by refusing to follow the Anti-Christ and his New World Order! 

Regardless, the Anti-Christ will reign on Earth for almost 42 months with a (false) World Peace, just before the Second Return of Jesus-Christ, our Lord and Savior on Earth! Sadly, many Christians and even all the non-believers on Earth will be deceived and they will truly believe that the Anti-Christ will be the Messiah that came faster on Earth to save the World. He will create a one world government, economic system and religion based on Christianity and Islam! So, let's be careful to not rush our desires for World Peace at any price! Only with the Second Coming of Jesus-Christ has King of king's and Lord of lord's on Earth that True (everlasting) World Peace, will be done... Praise the Lord! Nevertheless, only our Heavenly Father, Almighty God, really knows the real day and hour... Hallelujah! 

So, I hope with all my heart that I did not mistaken the chronology of the End Times without the help of my Holy Bible. It's late in the early morning and still suffering from Insomnia... Again, I am truly sorry to have mistaken private messaging with quotes on my earlier reply on this post on Worthy Forums! 

God Bless, Listener24 :)

Thanks brother for sharing your thoughts on this!

I'll just remind that this is not a post about "rapture" vs "tribulation". There are tons of different ideas on end times and rarely people agree with each other, so I don't see much point in trying to join the "guessers" train, it's already too crowded and it didn't seem that useful so far.

Neither this is a post about "guessing" the day, nor the hour.

Some people mistakenly and surprisingly think that HASTENING has anything to do with GUESSING. In fact, it has NOTHING to do! :)

It's not related, not Scripturally, nor logically.

For example, if I have a conversation with a friend, and I ask him to reach me as soon as he can, this doesn't mean that I'm "guessing" the time he will arrive, because the time will still depend on other conditions. Yet, my friend after hearing my request will move faster toward me.

The same is presented in Luke 18:1-8 that I suggest to read carefully.

I'm always surprised when some people confuse "hastening" with "guessing", I'm still not able to even figure out how do they make this unmotivated connection.

This post is about Hastening the Day of the Lord, as we are ORDERED to do in the Scriptures, but as we shouldn't do only out of duty but also out of desire! :) The desire to see Christ reigning over everything (your Kingdom come, your will be done) and to be separated forever from satan instead of keep having him around (deliver us from the evil one)

 I'll leave "tribulation" vs "rapture" discussions to wise and learned teachers, as well as discussion on predicting the time, because it looks like there are a lot of "guessers" already, so it's definitely not needed another one :)

I'll instead focus on hastening, because there are less "hasteners" than "guessers", and hastening seems to be fare more useful and it is also what we have been taught to do.

God bless you brother!

Maranatha

@Retrobyter  Time to revive this thread, what do you think? Let's hear the opinion of some new members.

Do you have any new considerations about the importance of the Lord's prayer with the intention expressed in 2 Peter 3:12?

I don't have particularly new considerations, but I praise the Lord for all the people who are joining the Lord's prayer.

This is for those who will enter the tribulation period and repent .... these are not pre-tribulation believers

Shalom, listener24.

Of course! One cannot change God's appointed times, as Shilohsfoal (I believe) put it quite a while back; however, that doesn't mean that God's Word must be fulfilled in a particular way at a particular time, from our perspective!

Remember, however, that 2 Peter 3:11-12 is at the END of the Second Age (the current earth and its current skies) that doesn't occur until AFTER the Millennium, which is the FIRST 1,000 years of Yeshua`s Kingdom still to be fulfilled in the future.

2 Peter 3:10-13 (KJV)

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

We are to be praying for our Master Yeshua`s return which will be at the BEGINNING of the Millennium, and the Millennium (the Thousand Years) is at the end of the Second Age.

We are to be praying for God's Kingdom to  begin - "Let thy Kingdom come!" And, that won't happen until His Anointed to be King - His Messiah - His Christ - has returned.

though the primary purpose of this post is the prayer for hastening the day of the Lord (2 Peter 3:12), and is less concerned with pre vs post trib dicussions, I agree that your reasoning makes sense.

The "mark of the beast" doesn't work as an argument against pre-trib, because that can be easily referred to the "left behind"

I've yet to find anyone who can make a scriptural case for "tribulation saints" as those who are left behind after a pretrib ratpure.  In fact, scripture argues against such a notion.

There will no believers on the earth at the onset of the coming tribulation period .... not one

Any who become believers after will be tribulation saints [Revelation 6:12-17]

You are anticipating a falsehood

I just find it incredible that without any believers and without the Holy Spirit that a multitude beyond number will come to a martyr's faith.  And to have that happen in such a short period of time?  It's going to take a lot more than platitudes and rhetoric to convince me.  So far, that's all I've seen.

Hard to convince false teachers like you seem to be

So I would suggest that you take up some other theological prose for your ranting

To convince you would be a farce

Neither do you notice that only a few will turn to the Lord during the coming tribulation period [Revelation 14:12-13]

By the way the multitude in Revelation 7:9-17 is the pre-tribulation group

We are told that they have "come away" from the 70th week decreed .... the Lord's wrath and judgment upon an unbelieving world

    • 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.
