(OP) User ID: 75895360 United Kingdom 07/09/2020 09:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ANOTHER point. Notice the NEXT chapter. Quoting: Servant-of-the-LORD 1 Thessalonians 5 1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. The ENTIRE passage is about the Tribulation and the Second Coming of Christ. NOT BEFORE things start to happen. . . . . . . . . . . . . Yes well I expect that you and your pals will be busy running around trying to convince people that we where taken by space aliens or something, to try and explain things away. But it wont matter to us because we wont be here. |

We have to carry our cross as well. Quoting: Kalona Go back to my first post and read what it says, weather you believe in the promise that we where given or not, is in the end up to you. But be aware that many many millions who have died in Christ over the last nearly 2,000 years have suffered either hardly any or only mild persecution. Although obviously many millions have suffered a great deal, it is not 'written in stone' that we all will.' Things will be as the Lord wills. |

It's about the TRUTH of scripture. Ironic that Revelation doesn't mention the "vials of wrath" until Chapter 15. Revelation 15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. Revelation 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. Tribulation IS NOT wrath.

Tribulation is not wrath. The wrath of God is clearly defined in Revelation Paul gloried in tribulations. Romans 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. The Wrath of God comes on the Children of Disobedience. Not on Sons and Daughters of God. Colossians 3:5 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: During the tribulation the saints are killed by the devil not by God. The tribulation is from the devil and the wrath of God comes down on the disobedient. They are not the same. The devil is fighting the saints during the tribulation and why is he making war with the saints? Because they believe and follow God and Christ. Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. You say the tribulations saints are in error but you fail to see the devil is attacking them and giving them tribulation because of the very fact that they keep the commandments of God and believe in Christ.

User ID: 3038327 United States 07/10/2020 09:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | :dec:...……. The Lord is not the author of confusion.………. Quoting: Judethz The Gospel was written to be published throughout the world in simple straightforward language that can be understood by people from all walks of life. The Bible is quite clear that those who are alive and in right standing with the Lord will be suddenly snatched away, just before the start of the Great Tribulation/The Time of Jacob's Troubles. There are no prophecy's that need to be fulfilled before it happens, you must make yourselves right with the Lord now. 2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. You have still been blessed with a little time, so don't waste it. Turn to the Lord now while you are still able and He will be quick to hear you. Remember you could get hit by a bus tomorrow, and then where would you be? And remember read the bible as it is written, do not listen to liars who would add or take away from the words of the Lord. KJV 1 Thess. 4 13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16For 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: 17Then 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. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words. See how these verses are ALL the same event. They compare what Paul said to what Jesus said. 1. Notice that Verses 16 & 17 are pretty much EXACTLY what Jesus says in the Gospel descriptions. 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. Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Mark 14:62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. ------------------------ 2. Then notice how Paul's verses 15 & 17 match.... 1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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. Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Revelation 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: I am a humble Servant of the one True Living God. |

Matthew 13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

However Wingmakers POETRY .... Reminds me of Rapture It is the most profound languaging system with a map to arrive .................. RAPTURE ................ Chamber 16 Signals to Her Heart Out where the ocean beats its calm thunder against grainy shores of quartz and sand, she strolls, hands pocketed in a flowing gown of pearl-like luminance. I can see her with hair the color of sky's deepest night when it whispers to the sun's widow to masquerade as the sickle's light. So this is she. The only one who knows me as I am though untouched is my skin. The world from which she steps pounces from mystery, announces her calm purity like a willow tree bent to still waters. In this unhurt place she takes her body to the shoreline listening for sounds beneath the waves that tell her what to do. How great is her love? Will it take her across the sea to me? Does she hear my heart's voice before the translation? She scoops some sand with her ivory hands and like an hourglass the particles fall having borrowed time for a chance to touch her beauty. Her lips move with prayers of grace as she tells the wind her story; even the clouds gather overhead to listen. Her gestures multiply my love with the sign of infinity, disentangled from all calculations, adorning her face with a poetry of tears. I am unsummoned though I hear her voice so clear it startles me. I watch her because I can. I know her because she is me. I love her because she is not me. In all my movement, in the vast search for something that will replace me, I have found her on this shoreline, her faint footprints, signatures of perfection that embarrass time with their fleeting nature. I am like the cave behind her watching from darkness, hollowed from tortured waves into a vault that yearns to say what she cannot resist. A language so pure it releases itself from my mouth like long-held captives finally ushered to their home; jubilant gods dancing away from sorrow's reach. She turns her head and looks past me as if I were a ghost unseen, yet I know she sees my deepest light. I know the ocean is no boundary to her love. She is waiting for the final path to my heart to become clear. And I am waiting for something deep inside to take my empty hands and fill them with her face so I can know the rehearsals were numbered, and all the splinters were signals to her heart.

Like David the Lord delivers us from tribulation. Tribulation is from enemies of God. Once again it is not the wrath of God. Defending God and his Son is not wrong. Tribulation is not bad. Please show where tribulations are bad. People that are afraid of tribulation lack faith. As you say "Tribulation is from enemies of God." Which to most people means pretty much the same as the phrase "from the evil to come." So basically you are just splitting hairs. I have never said that tribulation is bad, that's just you trying to put words into my mouth. The cheap accusations of cowardness are quite uncalled for. Personally I'd say that the numerous Satanic attacks on people preaching about the Rapture are definably a form of persecution. It ain't all just physical you know. And as I've said before people suffer various degrees of persecution, sometimes very little. But all that is in the hands of the Lord, all we can do is pray that He will help us through whatever is to be our lot. We have been promised quite clearly that those who are in right standing with the Lord will escape the Great Tribulation/Time of Jacob's Troubles. If you refuse to read and accept the Bible as it is written then that's your problem not mine. And finally another point for all of us to consider. There are probably about a billion (1,000,000,000) or so infants, toddlers and young children on the earth at this moment. WHAT ABOUT THEM? I don't know about you but this is something that has been at the back of my mind for quite some time now. |

Also Israel is awakened human, its not a religion or a race. Gentile would apply to those not waking up. Egyptian kings and Sumar. And the bible itself tells you over and over again that its metaphoric. The first and early Christians were gnostic, and they didn't concur. Those who cemented the Church, the Romans, weren't the good guys, and they still aren't. Jacob named the city he found God in penial. When I woke up and saw within the bible its meanings, it was after praying Matthew 13, for my eyes and ears to be opened. We're all waiting. My family witnessed the signs in the sky years ago and my mother prays daily for what could be called rapture. It just that the metaphor for rapture is alien abduction and already been there done that. We want the new earth, the upgraded new earth. Thats what we want. And it not a political fight between left and right. Its freeing everyone. Now here is the thing, not arguing with anyone's faith, unless its to harm women and children like other extreme religions. I am a Christian and pray daily as well. But not a fundamental one, guided within. But all my life from Catholic and taken to Church by grandparents, to protestant for years when my sons were young, to escaping the churches when some of the inner dark echlens were exposed, the satanic sacrifices alot of them are doing. Christianity is the way back home. Its the way back home metaphorically if a person is guided to gnostic, and its the way back home literally if a person follows in the footsteps of Christ, because he is the way back home. And your threads seem to rile up others. Whether people agree, they're still good threads. Last Edited by Sungaze_At_Dawn on 07/12/2020 10:36 AM The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist.
