Hi Light.....

I see you are studying God`s word. And a very important part of that is to realise that the Lord Jesus Christ is Head of His Body, he is building and maturing us, and will finally by His Holy Spirit compete the work and take it to its eternal setting in the third heaven. There we are told in scripture that the Body of Christ with the Head, the glorified, exalted, crowned Lord Jesus, will rule and reign. The first responsibility is to judge fallen angels and the world system, (as God`s word tells us) which obviously has to happen during the tribulation.

Lots to study yet bro, Marilyn.

To settle the discussion, if she was talking to me, why would she quote someone else?

While it's still considerably long here, it's a bit more readable and there aren't a lot of large gaps of space between lines. Also, the text references are right alongside the verses, making it a little easier to read them and get where they come from. When I post Scripture, it usually takes me a while to post because I have to format the text to be readable and put in the references right afterwards.

I do not hate you, but there have been things in the past I disagree with you on and I don't feel I am able to say them without upsetting you. But since you asked specifically on this, I replied. So considering this, if you take a little time when posting to make what you post easier for the average person to read, they will get a lot more out of it than a gigantic "wall of text". It also makes a poster carefully consider what they will post, as words have impact.

OK thanks for your explanations,

I don't have a problem reading long texts as long as I find them interesting or if I can be of help to someone.

People who don't like long posts should just pass over them.

I write the way I do for visual reasons, and cannot really change it (for those same reasons).  but if its the format you disapprove of and not the content,why not just ignore? That's what I do and that way it does not set an off tone towards that person personally.

  and when i find a post long and do not feel inspired or led to read them, I just pass over them. but i do enjoy long post Also and I very much appreciate when a person takes the time to also quote from the bible the full text. (But that's just me). We all are different.

But when a person oyweys someone elses posts it usually indicates that they really don't like, approve or value what the person is saying.

God Bless in Christ Jesus and thank you for your explanation, and I hope you appreciated mine back.

Lol, never can tell some days.   Don't worry it got cleared up. It was something else I tripped on.

No problem.  I just say the back and forth and thought I would say something to clear it up.

Hello and  Gods plan of Mercy and Grace through His only begotten Son  Christ Jesus be with you LightShinesinTheDarkness

 

I never heard what you just wrote , I never gave to much attention to the last tribulations days as for me it is important to be living each day I live for Christ Jesus no matter what happens. However, in the times where I did listen to bible teachings by my pastors of the oncoming tribulations with the antichrist, it was always about a per-tribulation rapture.

In any event, we need to be prepared now, we as Christians need to not just read the word, but apply it to our lives through and through with ALL we come into interaction with.  We all need to become Christ -like in our behaviors towards life and one another.

For sure we are coming closer to the coming of the antichrist and we need to be prepared virgins with our oil filled .

I read everything you wrote.

I also looked up all the bible verses you quoted. I personally would have appreciated had you printed the verses out so one could read them as we went along reading your post instead of having to look each one up.

Anyhow, I took the trouble to look them up and reading scripture is always a blessing so here are the scriptures verses you gave in name only.

Perhaps you can include the full version by editing your post or for the next time, to post also the scripture verse, not only where to look.

In any event, Blessing to you in Christ Jesus and may HIS truth work in our hearts not only in times of tribulation but NOW and forever . Amen!Amen! Amen!

Isaiah 61:10New King James Version (NKJV)

 

10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

 

 

 

 

 

Matthew 22:11-14New King James Version (NKJV)

 

11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12 So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and[a] cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

 

14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.”

 

Revelation 7:9-14New King James Version (NKJV)

 

A Multitude from the Great Tribulation

 

9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:

 

“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”

 

13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?”

 

14 And I said to him, “Sir,[a] you know.”

 

So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

 

 

 

Revelation 14:9-13New King James Version (NKJV)

 

9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

1 John 3:19-22King James Version (KJV)

7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

 

 

 

“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward Him.” (2 Chronicles 16:9)

 

 

 

Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.

2 Peter 3:1-2New King James Version (NKJV)

 

God’s Promise Is Not Slack

 

3 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), 2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us,[a] the apostles of the Lord and Savior,

 

 

 

Romans 5:1-5New King James Version (NKJV)

 

Faith Triumphs in Trouble

 

5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have[a] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

 

 

 

Romans 8:28King James Version (KJV)

 

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

 

 

 

Romans 8:35-39New King James Version (NKJV)

 

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:

 

“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

 

37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Revelation 22:2New King James Version (NKJV)

 

2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

 

 

 

Luke 20:35-36New King James Version (NKJV)

 

35 But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; 36 nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

 

 

 

Revelation 5:10New King James Version (NKJV)

 

10 And have made us kings and priests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.”

 

 

 

Both resurrections are explained in John

 

John 5:25-29New King James Version (NKJV)

 

25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

It would have taken quite a long time to write out all the scriptures in the original post, and it would have made it really long as well. I actually think it's a good thing for people to have to look them up for themselves as they read it---not to make it inconvenient for them, but because I think there may be some benefit in their searching the Scriptures. I think that sometimes, when information is just given to us (as so much is instant and effortless today), we tend to skim over it but don't really pay attention to it, because we're trying to get to the next point. If you have to look it up (and you choose to do so) you're more likely really read it, rather than just skim it.

Every eye will see Him when He returns.

 

At this time, the dead will be raised, and those saints who remain alive on the earth will be changed and caught up to meet the Lord in the air.

Not sure what bible you are getting this from ?

My bible states that the day Jesus returns to earth in judgement there will be none  " caught up in the air " from earth ,  for the purpose of turning right around & going back to earth . 

More  purposelessness so typical of the crooked thinking that must be embraced in rejecting the pre-trib rapture .

My bible states that those returning to earth with Christ in judgement are returning from HEAVEN  where they  " WERE " already :

 

                                                           "  And the armies WHICH WERE IN HEAVEN followed Him upon white horses clothed in fine linen , white and clean . "                                                                                                                                                                               ( Revelation 19 : 14 ) 

 

  God's Word that anyone  " caught up in the air " is going to be in heaven for an extended time before returning  with Christ at a later time .                                                         

[Daniel 11:36]

Amen
