Why do people believe in a Rapture?

When the Old Testament saints rise, many of them were before the flood. There were such cataclysmic changes at the flood, who knows where the atoms that once made up their bodies are - or how deep?

From the Bible,
can you provide a list of the Old Testament Saints that lived and died BEFORE the Flood?

Why there is no great earthquake mentioned at the Great White Throne judgement when all the dead good or bad since Adam was created who are not part of the first resurrection (those who died in Christ)will rise , if as you say a(massive)resurrection of the dead =A great worldwide earthquake ?

My point is that Adam (doing good /name in the Book of Life) and Cain(doing bad/evil--not in the book of life) will resurrect at the Great White Throne Judgement along with all those who have lived since human was created including those living during the millennium = everybody who are not part of the First Resurrection of those who died in Christ Revelation 20:4-6.

Revelation 20
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

At the time of trouble (great tribulation) Not before , but at the time of great trouble. Who is deliverd? Everyone that shall be found written in the book, that must mean everyone.

Where in the world did you ever get the idea that everyone's name will be in the book of life? If that was so, why would there need to be a book of life if everyone is saved?

Now in verse 12, Michael was telling Daniel his people will be deliver at the time of the end. This is not a prophecy about the gentiles nor everyone that ever lived. This is a prophecy about the final deliverance of the Jewish people.


See where it said "your people will be delivered, everyone whose name is found written in the book?" This is only about the Israelites who already turned and will turn to Christ. It's not about the gentiles.

Now if you can understand that so far, you should know there is no rapture for the Israelites during the tribulation. They stay on earth.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

Didn’t you read the part that said “some to everlasting life”? You are right this is not about a pretrib rapture, there is not one.

Of course I did. Do you think I would actually try to correct someone about something I don't know nor ever read before?

Christ comes in two stages. In the first stage when He comes for His own before the tribulation, He'll resurrect them (jews and gentiles disciples) to everlasting life. Do you know why Isaiah 26 only speak of a resurrection and not the catching away of those alive in Christ? It's because the Israelites don't follow the new testament.

In the second stage when He comes to judge the world, those Israelites who still refuse to turn to Christ during the first half of the tribulation will be judge with the goats and tares in the second half. They will be with those resurrected into everlasting shame and contempt....which is hell.

Ezekiel 5 is the Time of Jacob's trouble when God releases His fury upon Israel.

I see what you are talking about but that is not the meaning of the verse.The verse say that when those who died/sleep in Christ will rise (Resurrect)those in Christ still alive will be changed.Paul in Thess.which is the sister verse say that the resurrection of those who died /sleep in Christ will happen UNTO THE COMING OF THE LORD.
Matthew 24:29-31 tell us about the coming of Jesus after the tribulation of those days.In short there is no mention of a secret return of Jesus before the tribulation contrary to your interpretation

Jesus does come with His saints after the Tribulation. That is when His feet touch the mount of Olives. He also comes to take us up in the air before that.

1, Rapture, Righteous resurrected from a Grave, Jesus comes himself, he doesn't sent angels . . .

Click to expand...

Regarding "Jesus comes himself", note that 1 Thessalonians 4:16 doesn't say "by himself", just as nothing in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 requires the Lord himself won't be accompanied by his angels at that time. For otherwise there could be no "voice of the archangel" heard at that time. And 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 refers to the same 2nd coming of Jesus and gathering together (rapture) of the church as 2 Thessalonians 2:1, which refers to the same 2nd coming of Jesus and gathering together (rapture) of the church as Matthew 24:30-31. Jesus will send forth his angels at that time in order to gather together (Matthew 24:31; 2 Thessalonians 2:1) all the "caught up" believers (1 Thessalonians 4:17) in myriad different places in the sky (the 1st heaven) all around the globe (Mark 13:27, Matthew 24:31) to the one place in the sky above Jerusalem where the returned Jesus will be, before he lands on the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4).

Similarly, note that nothing in 1 Thessalonians 4 says or requires Jesus won't at that same coming subsequently descend to the earth on a white horse, as in Revelation 19. And there is no explicit descent to the earth, or a white horse, in Matthew 24:30 either, but it is still the same 2nd coming as Revelation 19:7-21. And even in Revelation 19:7-21, there is no explicit descent to the earth, even though it is the same 2nd coming as Zechariah 14:3-5, which has no explicit white horse.

1. Rapture, starts the trib

Click to expand...

Note that nothing in the Bible teaches or requires that the rapture will start the tribulation. Instead, the Bible shows that Jesus won't come and gather together (rapture) the church until immediately after the future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6 to 18 and Matthew 24 (Matthew 24:29-31, Mark 13:24-27; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8). That is why the marriage of the church doesn't happen until Revelation 19:7, in connection with Jesus' 2nd coming and the physical resurrection of the church at that time (Revelation 19:7 to 20:6; 1 Corinthians 15:21-23,51-53; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-16). Matthew 24:30-31 refers to the same 2nd coming of Jesus and gathering together (rapture) of the church as 2 Thessalonians 2:1, which refers to the same 2nd coming of Jesus and catching up together (rapture) of the church as 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17.

Jesus won't return and gather together (rapture) the church until sometime after there is a falling away (an apostasy) in the church, and the Antichrist sits in a 3rd Jewish temple in Jerusalem and proclaims himself God (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4, Daniel 11:31,36, Revelation 11:1-2, Revelation 13:4-8), and the abomination of desolation (possibly a standing, android image of the Antichrist) is set up in the holy place (the inner sanctum) of the 3rd Jewish temple (Matthew 24:15-31, Daniel 11:31). For when Jesus returns to gather together (and marry) the church, he will destroy the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:1,8, Revelation 19:7,20). Before Jesus returns, the church will have to go through the future, literal 3.5 years of the Antichrist's worldwide reign (Revelation 13:5-10, Revelation 14:12-13, Revelation 20:4-6, Matthew 24:9-31).

At Jesus' 2nd coming (1 Thessalonians 4:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:1, Matthew 24:30), the church will be physically resurrected and caught up together/gathered together (raptured) (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 2 Thessalonians 2:1, Matthew 24:31), not to remove the church from the earth (Proverbs 10:30, John 17:15,20), but to take the church only as high as the clouds of the sky to hold a meeting in the air with the returned Jesus (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

At that meeting, Jesus will judge everyone in the church (Psalms 50:3-5, cf. Mark 13:27) by their works (2 Corinthians 5:10, Romans 2:6-8, Luke 12:45-48, Matthew 25:19-30). And then Jesus will marry in the clouds the obedient part of the church (Revelation 19:7-8, Matthew 25:1-12), those in the church (of all times) who "overcame" to the end (Revelation 3:5, Revelation 2:26). They will then mount white horses and come back down from the sky (the 1st heaven) with Jesus (Revelation 19:14) as he defeats the Antichrist (the individual-man aspect of Revelation's "beast") and the world's armies (Revelation 19:15-21). Jesus will then make the marriage supper of Revelation 19:9 for the resurrected and married obedient part of the church in the earthly Jerusalem (Isaiah 25:6-9; 1 Corinthians 15:54). Jesus and the obedient part of the church will then reign on the earth for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:4-6, Revelation 5:10, Revelation 2:26-29).

That's right.

And so the ability of believers (though not their choosing) to repent from and confess to God every sin they commit (1 John 1:9) is assured. For if they do commit a sin, even if they are unaware of it, Jesus will send them warning and chastening to make sure they know they have sinned and need to repent (Revelation 3:19, Hebrews 12:6-7, cf. Jeremiah 31:18-19). And he will give them time to repent (Revelation 2:21a). It is only if they wrongly employ their free will to waste the time they are given, and ignore the warning and chastening, and refuse to repent (Revelation 2:21-23, cf. Deuteronomy 21:18-21) until death (1 John 5:16b) or Jesus' return (Luke 12:45-46), that they will ultimately lose their salvation due to unrepentant sin (Hebrews 10:26-29; 1 Corinthians 9:27, Galatians 5:19-21).

If saved people become unsure whether or not they have ignored Jesus' warning, and refused to repent from a sin, they need to pray and ask him to reveal to them if there is any unrepentant sin in their heart (Psalms 139:23-24). And they need to be reading the Bible, every word of it (Matthew 4:4; 2 Timothy 3:16), over and over again. For it will expose to them any unrepentant sin which still exists within their heart (Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:16), so they can repent from it and confess it to God, and be forgiven and perfect before God (2 Timothy 3:17; 1 John 1:9; 2 Corinthians 7:1).

Note that a Christian repenting from and confessing an act of sin to God doesn't require that Jesus die again, but allows that act of sin to be forgiven (1 John 1:9) through faith in Jesus' one-time death for our sins (Romans 3:25-26, Hebrews 10:12).

Note that while believers are indeed the children of God (Galatians 4:6-7, Romans 8:16; 1 John 3:1, John 1:12), they can still ultimately lose their salvation, such as by refusing to repent from a sin (Hebrews 10:26-29; 1 Corinthians 9:27, Luke 12:45-46). For under the letter of the Old Covenant Mosaic law, a father was commanded to have even his own son stoned to death if he refused to repent (Deuteronomy 21:18-21). And under the New Covenant, God will ultimately punish unrepentant sin even more sorely than he did under the letter of the Old Covenant Mosaic law (Hebrews 10:26-29).

JLB777 said in post 2579:

Faith without the corresponding action of obedience is dead, and will not produce a divine result, just as a body without the spirit is dead, and does not function.

Click to expand...

That's right.

James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only . . .
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

The issue in James 2:14-26 is how believers are to be saved (James 2:14b), how they are to be justified before God (James 2:23-24), just as the issue in Romans 4:1-5 is how believers are to be saved, how they are to be justified before God (cf. Romans 5:9, Romans 1:16). That is why both James 2:23-24 and Romans 4:1-5 employ the same Old Testament verse (Genesis 15:6, Romans 4:3, James 2:23). Romans 4:1-5 refers to initial salvation/justification before God, which is based on faith apart from works (Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5), while James 2:23-24 refers to ultimate salvation/justification before God, which is based on both faith and works (Romans 2:6-8, Matthew 7:21, Philippians 2:12b; 2 Corinthians 5:9, Hebrews 5:9; 2 Peter 1:10-11, Hebrews 6:10-12, Philippians 3:11-14; 1 John 2:17b), as in works of faith (1 Thessalonians 1:3, Galatians 5:6b, Titus 3:8) (not works of the letter of the Old Covenant Mosaic law).

For faith is like a body and works of faith are like the breathing (spirit) of that body (James 2:26). Faith without works of faith will die just as a body without breathing will die (James 2:26). That is why our ultimate salvation will depend on both our faith and our continued works of faith (Romans 2:6-8, James 2:24, Matthew 7:21). If a believer refuses to continue to perform works of faith, without repentance, he will ultimately lose his salvation (Matthew 25:26,30, John 15:2a), just as if someone stops himself from breathing by hanging himself, he will die.

The breathing analogy (James 2:26) doesn't include the automatic aspect of breathing. For believers must be careful to maintain good works (Titus 3:8). The analogies in the Bible don't include every aspect of the analogous thing. For example, believers, born-again people, being like newborn babies (1 Peter 2:2) doesn't mean believers have no ability to talk, walk, or control their bowels.

It is VERY POSSIBLE that there is NOTHING in Matthew 24 that covers the church.

Click to expand...

Note that Jesus spoke specifically of his "church" (Matthew 16:18, Matthew 18:17) before he spoke Matthew 24. And Matthew 24 refers to the future tribulation, by which time the church will have existed for some 2,000 years. The saints who will be in the tribulation will be the church, for they will be believers in Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:9-13, Revelation 7:9,14, Revelation 13:7-10, Revelation 14:12-13, Revelation 20:4-6), and now there are no believers outside of the church (Ephesians 4:4-6). Those in the church who will be in the tribulation could include most of the believers alive today (whether Jewish or Gentile), for there will be no pre-tribulation rapture (2 Thessalonians 2:1-8, Matthew 24:29-31).

Also, Matthew 24 was addressed privately only to believers (Matthew 24:3,4,9), and in Jesus' mind all believers of all times are one (John 17:20-21, Ephesians 4:4-6). The entire book of Revelation was likewise addressed only to believers (Revelation 1:1-4, Revelation 22:16). Just as the (mistaken) pre-tribulation rapture view admits that, for example, John 14, Matthew 24's parallel chapter of Luke 21, and Matthew 28 can apply to those in the church today (e.g. Luke 21:36, John 14:3, Matthew 28:18-19), so the pre-tribulation rapture view should be able to admit that Matthew 24 and Revelation chapters 6 to 18 can apply to those in the church today.

Matthew 24:9-13 refers to the future killing of Christians, whether genetic Jews or Gentiles, those who will be hated and killed for the name of Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:9) in every nation during the future, literal 3.5-year worldwide reign of the Antichrist (the individual-man aspect of Revelation's "beast") (Revelation 13:5-10, Revelation 14:12-13, Revelation 20:4-6). Matthew 24:9-13 shows that not all Christians will continue to love Jesus during that time, but some Christians' love for him will grow cold because of their unrepentant sin (Matthew 24:12; 1 Timothy 4:1-2; 2 Timothy 4:3-4), and/or because they will become offended (Matthew 24:10) that he is letting them and their little ones suffer in the tribulation (Matthew 13:21, Isaiah 8:21-22; 1 Peter 4:12-13). Only those Christians who continue to love Jesus to the end will be ultimately saved (Matthew 24:13, Matthew 10:37-39).

--

The mistaken idea of a pre-tribulation rapture is dangerous, because when no pre-tribulation rapture occurs, and pre-trib believers begin to suffer in the tribulation, they could think God has somehow been defeated by Satan, that Satan by his power has caused a pre-trib rapture not to happen despite God wanting one to. Or they could think God has cruelly broken his (supposed) promise, that he has pulled the rug out from under them, that he cruelly lied to them, and must now be laughing at their surprise and suffering (Proverbs 1:26), so that in their rage they could curse God and commit apostasy during the tribulation (Isaiah 8:21-22, Matthew 24:9-13, Matthew 13:21), to the ultimate loss of their salvation (Hebrews 6:4-8, John 15:6; 2 Timothy 2:12).

And even if they instead rightly think, "Okay, we must have just been mistaken in thinking the rapture was supposed to be pre-tribulation. Satan hasn't defeated God, and God didn't lie to us", nonetheless, because they had held so strongly to the pre-trib idea for so long, their minds could be completely unprepared to face the long tribulation that lies ahead of them (just as holding too strongly to the mistaken idea of preterism, or historicism, or symbolicism, or spiritualism, could leave some believers completely unprepared mentally to endure the future tribulation).

The Bible gives those in the church clear warning ahead of time about everything they are going to have to face during the future tribulation (Mark 13:23, Revelation chapters 6 to 18, Revelation 1:1, Revelation 22:16), so they can be better prepared mentally not to be blindsided (1 Peter 4:12-13) or deceived by anything that is coming (Matthew 24:4-5,23-25, Revelation 13:13-18, Revelation 19:20), and so they can be better prepared mentally to endure the future tribulation with patience and faith to the end (Matthew 24:9-13, Revelation 13:7-10, Revelation 14:12-13, Revelation 20:4-6), that is, until death or until Jesus returns, immediately after the tribulation (Matthew 24:29-31, Revelation 19:2 to 20:6; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8).

Click to expand...

Regarding "the end of THEIR age", are you defining that "end" as the entire tribulation?

Also, are you thinking of the following verse?

"... what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" (Matthew 24:3).

If so, In Matthew 24:3 the original Greek word (aion: G0165) translated as "world" can indeed be translated as "age" (Ephesians 2:7, Colossians 1:26).

But note that while the apostles asked Jesus about the end of the age (Matthew 24:3), he didn't tell them that the end of the age would occur during the future tribulation, or even at the end of the future tribulation, i.e. at his (post-tribulation) 2nd coming (Matthew 24:29-31), or when the end of the age would occur, just as Jesus didn't tell the apostles many other things during his ministry (John 16:12). It wouldn't be until much later that Jesus would show the apostle John, through the vision in the book of Revelation (given about 95 AD: Irenaeus, Against Heresies 5:30:3c), that the end of the age, when all the unsaved will be cast into the lake of fire (Matthew 13:40, Matthew 25:41, Revelation 20:15), won't occur until over 1,000 years after Jesus' (never fulfilled) 2nd coming (Revelation 19:7 to 20:15).

By "THEIR covenant", do you mean the Old Covenant Mosaic law?

If so, note that the letter of that covenant already ended long ago. For on Jesus' Cross, for both Jews and Gentiles (John 11:51-52), the letter of the Old Covenant Mosaic law was forever abolished (Ephesians 2:15-16, Colossians 2:14-17; 2 Corinthians 3:6-18), disannulled (Hebrews 7:18), rendered obsolete (Hebrews 8:13, Galatians 3:2-25, Galatians 4:21 to 5:8), taken away and replaced (Hebrews 10:9) by the better hope (Hebrews 7:19), the better covenant (Hebrews 7:22, Hebrews 8:6-12), the 2nd covenant (Hebrews 8:7, Hebrews 10:9), of Jesus' New Covenant law (Galatians 6:2, John 1:17, Matthew 26:28, Hebrews 12:24, Hebrews 9:15), so that the law was changed (Hebrews 7:12).

All believers, both Jews and Gentles, of all times, are delivered from the letter of the Old Covenant Mosaic law, and shouldn't keep it (Romans 7:6; 2 Corinthians 3:6-18, Galatians 2:11-21), or have any desire to keep it (Galatians 4:21 to 5:8, Galatians 3:2-25). Believers keep the spirit of the Old Covenant Mosaic law (Romans 7:6) by loving others (Galatians 5:14, Romans 13:8-10), by doing to others as they would have others do to them (Matthew 7:12).

Psalm3704 said in post 2611:

[Re: Dan. 12:2]

Regarding Daniel 12:2 not being a pre-tribulation rapture/resurrection, that's right. For the preceding verse, Daniel 12:1, will occur right after the future, tribulation events of Daniel 11:15-45, and will include the very last part of the tribulation, when the surviving Jews in Jerusalem (who could have been protected by the 2 witnesses during the preceding 3.5 years of the Antichrist's worldwide reign: Revelation 11:3-13, Revelation 13:5-18) will be attacked immediately before Jesus' 2nd coming (Zechariah 14:2-21). This final attack will be the time of Jacob's trouble, which the Jews will be saved from (Jeremiah 30:7) at the 2nd coming (Zechariah 14:5).

But Daniel 12:2 will occur at the church's physical resurrection at Jesus' 2nd coming (1 Corinthians 15:21-23,51-53; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-16, Revelation 19:7 to 20:6), which will occur immediately after the future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6 to 18 and Matthew 24 (Matthew 24:29-31; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8, Revelation 19:7 to 20:6), and before the millennium (Revelation 19:7 to 20:6). For some in the church will lose their salvation at Jesus' 2nd coming (e.g. Luke 12:45-46), so that their resurrection will be a resurrection "unto shame and everlasting contempt" (Daniel 12:2), a "resurrection of damnation" (John 5:29), because of such things as unrepentant sin (Hebrews 10:26-29), unrepentant laziness (Matthew 25:26,30), or apostasy (Hebrews 6:4-8).

Psalm3704 said in post 2611:

In other words, only the righteous in Christ gets rapture, not sinners.

Click to expand...

Do you mean there will be only a partial rapture of the church, sometime before the 2nd coming, of only those in the church who are ready for the rapture by living holy lives? If so, note that nothing in the Bible says or requires that any believer will be left behind at the rapture, that the entire church won't be raptured (gathered together) at the time of Matthew 24:31, 2 Thessalonians 2:1, and 1 Thessalonians 4:17, which is the time of Jesus' 2nd coming, immediately after the future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6 to 18 and Matthew 24 (Matthew 24:29-31; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17). For the need for believers to be ready for Jesus' 2nd coming (Matthew 24:44, Matthew 25:10) doesn't have to do with whether or not they will be raptured at that time, but with whether or not they will lose their salvation at that time (e.g. Luke 12:45-46, Matthew 25:26,30, Mark 8:35-38).

For, (again) some saved people, at the judgment of the church by Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:10, Romans 2:6-8, Luke 12:45-48, Matthew 25:19-30), at his 2nd coming (Psalms 50:3-5, cf. Mark 13:27), will lose their salvation because of such things as unrepentant sin (Luke 12:45-46, Hebrews 10:26-29; 1 Corinthians 9:27), unrepentant laziness (Matthew 25:26,30, John 15:2a, Romans 2:6-8), or apostasy (Mark 8:35-38, Hebrews 6:4-8; 2 Timothy 2:12b). That is why saved people know the "terror" of the coming judgment of the church by Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:10-11), why they must remain in fear of being cut off the same as unbelievers if they don't continue in God's goodness (Romans 11:20-22, Luke 12:45-46), why they must be careful to work out their own ultimate salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12b; 1 Peter 1:17, Romans 2:6-8).

Regarding "when He judges the goats", note that Matthew 25:31 doesn't mean that Matthew 25:32-46 (just as 2 Peter 3:10a doesn't mean that 2 Peter 3:10b) will happen immediately at Jesus' 2nd coming, only that it will happen sometime subsequent to his 2nd coming, at the great white throne judgment (Revelation 20:11-15), after the future millennium and subsequent events (Revelation 20:7-15).

Matthew 25:32-46 refers to when the "nations" will be finally-judged by their works at the great white throne judgment (Revelation 20:12-13), whereas at the 2nd coming, Jesus will finally-judge only those in the church (Psalms 50:3-5, cf. Mark 13:27; Matthew 25:19-30). Also, Matthew 25:41,46 refers to when the unsaved of all times, whether Jews or Gentiles, will be sent into the everlasting punishment of the lake of fire and brimstone at the great white throne judgment (Revelation 20:15), whereas at the 2nd coming, only the Antichrist (the individual-man aspect of Revelation's "beast") and his False Prophet will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 19:20). The saved "sheep" at the sheep/goat judgment will include those, whether Jews or Gentiles, who will become believers during the millennium (Isaiah 66:19-21). Matthew 25:34 refers to obedient believers inheriting the kingdom of God the Father on the new earth in New Jerusalem, the Father's house (Revelation 21:1-7, John 14:2).

Psalm3704 said in post 2622:

[Re: Dan. 12:1]

Michael was telling Daniel his people will be deliver at the time of the end. This is not a prophecy about the gentiles nor everyone that ever lived. This is a prophecy about the final deliverance of the Jewish people.

Note that Daniel's people can include both Jews and Gentiles. For just as the Gentile Ruth (a genetic forbear of Israel's Messiah: Matthew 1:5-16, Luke 3:23-32) could say to the Israelite Naomi "thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God" (Ruth 1:16), so Gentiles in the church have been grafted into Israel (Romans 11:17,24, Ephesians 2:12,19, Galatians 3:29).

That is, all genetic Jews in the church remain members of whichever tribe of Israel they were born into (Romans 11:1, Acts 4:36). And all genetic Gentiles in the church have been grafted into Israel (Romans 11:17,24, Ephesians 2:12,19, Galatians 3:29), and so have been grafted into its various tribes (cf. Ezekiel 47:21-23). So the entire church is the 12 tribes of Israel (Revelation 21:9,12; 1 Peter 2:9-10). This is necessary, for all those in the church are saved only by the New Covenant (Matthew 26:28; 1 Corinthians 11:25; 2 Corinthians 3:6, Hebrews 9:15), which is made only with Israel (Jeremiah 31:31-34, John 4:22b). John 10:16 refers to the "other sheep" of believers who are Gentiles being brought into "this fold" of Israel, which is the "one fold" of the church (1 Corinthians 12:13, Ephesians 4:4-6, Revelation 21:9,12). A genetic Gentile believer can pray and ask which tribe of Israel he has been grafted into, and he will receive an answer from God, if he asks in faith (cf. Matthew 21:22), without any wavering (cf. James 1:6-7).

Psalm3704 said in post 2622:

Christ comes in two stages. In the first stage when He comes for His own before the tribulation, He'll resurrect them (jews and gentiles disciples) to everlasting life. Do you know why Isaiah 26 only speak of a resurrection and not the catching away of those alive in Christ? It's because the Israelites don't follow the new testament.

Isaiah 26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 ¶Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Note that Isaiah 26:20 can start a new idea, a new paragraph, like is indicated in some copies of the KJV. And so nothing requires that Isaiah 26:20-21 has to happen after Isaiah 26:19. Instead, Isaiah 26:20-21 can be addressing those in the church who will still be alive on the earth at the time of the 7 vials of God's wrath (Revelation 16), the final stage of the future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6 to 18 and Matthew 24. These believers will still be waiting for Jesus' coming as a thief (Revelation 16:15). And they won't be appointed to God's wrath (1 Thessalonians 5:9). So Isaiah 26:20 can refer to them going into protective chambers which they will have prepared for themselves on the earth, just as Noah and his family went into the protective ark which they had prepared for themselves on the earth (Genesis 7:7).

Also, nothing forbids believers from preparing these chambers now, and hiding in them out in the wilderness at some point in our future (Revelation 12:6a), not only during the time of the 7 vials, but also during the just-preceding, literal 3.5 years (Revelation 12:6b) of the Antichrist's worldwide reign (Revelation 13:5-18). For his reign will involve the wrath of Satan coming against those in the church (not in hiding) who will still be alive on the earth at that time (Revelation 12:17, Revelation 13:7-10, Revelation 14:12-13, Revelation 20:4-6, Matthew 24:9-13).

Psalm3704 said in post 2622:

Ezekiel 5 is the Time of Jacob's trouble when God releases His fury upon Israel.

Click to expand...

Actually, Ezekiel 5 is about Jerusalem (Ezekiel 5:5) in the time of the prophet Ezekiel, before its destruction in 586 BC (Ezekiel 24:1-2; 2 Kings 25:1) by the ancient king Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the ancient empire of Babylon (cf. Ezekiel 30:10). Ezekiel 5:12 refers to a third of the inhabitants in Jerusalem at that ancient time dying by famine, another third dying by sword, and another third being scattered to other countries.

Bible2+ said:

For salvation can only be lost once, and only at death (1 John 5:16b) or Jesus' return (Luke 12:45-46).

Click to expand...

Not correct Bible2.

Salvation is a process overtime where one must continue to overcome the temptations of this world. As long as the devil is alive and ruler of this world, you as a Christians is constantly in battle to overcome this world. No one truly has salvation until the end: "he who endures to the end will be saved." (Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13).

Any Christian can fall away in this world (Hebrews 6:4-8, Hebrews 10:26-31), and unless you were Christ, no one's perfect.



And that's not what 1 John 5:16 means. Read this carefully. It's about praying for other Christians committing sins that does not warrant condemnation. Part b does not tell us what the other sin is that we should not pray for.

Bible2+ said:

Regarding "Jesus comes himself", note that 1 Thessalonians 4:16 doesn't say "by himself", just as nothing in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 requires the Lord himself won't be accompanied by his angels at that time. For otherwise there could be no "voice of the archangel" heard at that time.

Click to expand...

Bible2, you sure assume a lot of things. Matthew 16:27 is His coming at the rapture with His rewards accompany by His angels.

The other thing is you really need to stop making so much guesses about what the bible is saying and preach what you think it means to other believers. It's a serious sin.

Psalm3704 said:

Where in the world did you ever get the idea that everyone's name will be in the book of life? If that was so, why would there need to be a book of life if everyone is saved?

Now in verse 12, Michael was telling Daniel his people will be deliver at the time of the end. This is not a prophecy about the gentiles nor everyone that ever lived. This is a prophecy about the final deliverance of the Jewish people.

Daniel 12:1 (CJB) "When that time comes, Mikha'el, the great prince who champions your people, will stand up; and there will be a time of distress unparalleled between the time they became a nation and that moment. At that time, your people will be delivered, everyone whose name is found written in the book.​

See where it said "your people will be delivered, everyone whose name is found written in the book?" This is only about the Israelites who already turned and will turn to Christ. It's not about the gentiles.

Now if you can understand that so far, you should know there is no rapture for the Israelites during the tribulation. They stay on earth.



Of course I did. Do you think I would actually try to correct someone about something I don't know nor ever read before?

Christ comes in two stages. In the first stage when He comes for His own before the tribulation, He'll resurrect them (jews and gentiles disciples) to everlasting life. Do you know why Isaiah 26 only speak of a resurrection and not the catching away of those alive in Christ? It's because the Israelites don't follow the new testament.

Isaiah 26:19 - 27:1 NKJV
19 Your dead shall live;
Together with my dead body they shall arise.
Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust;
For your dew is like the dew of herbs,
And the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 Come, my people, enter your chambers,
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment,
Until the indignation is past.
21 For behold, the Lord comes out of His place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
The earth will also disclose her blood,
And will no more cover her slain.

1 In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong,
Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
Leviathan that twisted serpent;
And He will slay the reptile that is in the sea.
​

In the second stage when He comes to judge the world, those Israelites who still refuse to turn to Christ during the first half of the tribulation will be judge with the goats and tares in the second half. They will be with those resurrected into everlasting shame and contempt....which is hell.

Ezekiel 5 is the Time of Jacob's trouble when God releases His fury upon Israel.

Ezekiel 5:7-12 NKJV
7 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in My statutes nor kept My judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you’— 8 therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Indeed I, even I, am against you and will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations. 9 And I will do among you what I have never done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations. 10 Therefore fathers shall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments among you, and all of you who remain I will scatter to all the winds.

11 ‘Therefore, as I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity. 12 One-third of you shall die of the pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your midst; and one-third shall fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter another third to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.​

Psalm3704 said
“Where in the world did you ever get the idea that everyone's name will be in the book of life? If that was so, why would there need to be a book of life if everyone is saved?”

My words” Who is deliverd? Everyone that shall be found written in the book, that must mean everyone.”
I clearly said what Daniel said Everyone that shall be found in the book, The phrase “that must mean everyone refers to the first everone for emphasis meaning everyone that is ever written in the book Jew or gentile, did not say everyone that ever lived would be saved and written in the book.

Bible2+ said:

By "THEIR covenant", do you mean the Old Covenant Mosaic law?

If so, note that the letter of that covenant already ended long ago. For on Jesus' Cross, for both Jews and Gentiles (John 11:51-52), the letter of the Old Covenant Mosaic law was forever abolished (Ephesians 2:15-16, Colossians 2:14-17; 2 Corinthians 3:6-18), disannulled (Hebrews 7:18), rendered obsolete (Hebrews 8:13, Galatians 3:2-25, Galatians 4:21 to 5:8), taken away and replaced (Hebrews 10:9) by the better hope (Hebrews 7:19), the better covenant (Hebrews 7:22, Hebrews 8:6-12), the 2nd covenant (Hebrews 8:7, Hebrews 10:9), of Jesus' New Covenant law (Galatians 6:2, John 1:17, Matthew 26:28, Hebrews 12:24, Hebrews 9:15), so that the law was changed (Hebrews 7:12).

All believers, both Jews and Gentles, of all times, are delivered from the letter of the Old Covenant Mosaic law, and shouldn't keep it (Romans 7:6; 2 Corinthians 3:6-18, Galatians 2:11-21), or have any desire to keep it (Galatians 4:21 to 5:8, Galatians 3:2-25). Believers keep the spirit of the Old Covenant Mosaic law (Romans 7:6) by loving others (Galatians 5:14, Romans 13:8-10), by doing to others as they would have others do to them (Matthew 7:12).

Bible2,

Do you know how many laws and commandments the Israelites are following? Look at how many the Jews were following. Paul never argued against the Mosaic Laws. Below are 613 commandments the Jews are following. So how do you know when Paul was arguing against the laws of Moses and none of these other laws?

Even Jesus said you must continue to keep the Mosaic Laws. Matthew 19:16-22.

http://www.jewfaq.org/613.htm

Below is a list of the 613 mitzvot (commandments). It is based primarily on the list compiled by Rambam in the Mishneh Torah, but I have consulted other sources as well. As I said in the page on halakhah, Rambam's list is probably the most widely accepted list, but it is not the only one. The order is my own, as are the explanations of how some rules are derived from some biblical passages.

For each mitzvah, I have provided a citation to the biblical passage or passages from which it is derived, based primarily on Rambam. For commandments that can be observed today, I have also provided citations to the Chafetz Chayim's Concise Book of Mitzvot (CCA refers to affirmative commandments; CCN refers to negative commandments; CCI refers to commandments that only apply in Israel). Commandments that cannot be observed today primarily relate to the Temple, its sacrifices and services (because the Temple does not exist) and criminal procedures (because the theocratic state of Israel does not exist).

Bible2+ said:

All believers, both Jews and Gentles, of all times, are delivered from the letter of the Old Covenant Mosaic law, and shouldn't keep it (Romans 7:6; 2 Corinthians 3:6-18, Galatians 2:11-21), or have any desire to keep it (Galatians 4:21 to 5:8, Galatians 3:2-25).

Now Bible2, how do you know Paul wasn't addressing any of these laws when He told the Jews that keeping the law and works of the law does not contribute to their salvation? Read the bible carefully, and for heaven sake, stop guessing.

Do you understand what you're doing telling other believers to ignore the 10 commandments?

Where is the world's worst earthquake ever? Is it not at the 7th vial. Is it not "the last day?"
Where is the second worst earthquake ever? Is it not at the 6th seal?

WHY are these two earthquakes placed where they are? Of course you will deny it, but they are where they are because they are caused by resurrections. When the dead in Christ rise, they are found around the world, but not before the great flood. When the Old Testament saints rise, many of them were before the flood. There were such cataclysmic changes at the flood, who knows where the atoms that once made up their bodies are - or how deep?

I am convinced these two earthquakes give away the timing of the resurrections. When I read Daniel 12, I am more convinced.

If you want to say in your opinion you believe there will be a resurrection at the earthquake, fine.

Earthquake does not equal resurrection. It is conjecture on your part not biblical doctrine.

Recently many people have become caught up in the "Hebrew Roots" movement.
The following comment pits Jesus against Paul in Galatians chapter 4.
Therefore we know the interpretation is not correct.

"Even Jesus said you must continue to keep the Mosaic Laws. Matthew 19:16-22."

In the passage above Jesus was attempting to show the young man that no one had ever keep the law except Him.

In the allegory of Galatians 4 Paul compares the Sinai covenant to bondage and says we are to cast it out.


Gal 4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

Gal 4:23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

Gal 4:24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
(The Sinai covenant was one of bondage.)

Gal 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Gal 4:27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

Gal 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

Gal 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

Gal 4:30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
(We are to cast out the Sinai covenant. No one inherits the kingdom of God by attempting to follow the Mosaic ordinances.)

Gal 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

We are under the New Covenant, which is a higher law with Christ as the mediator instead of the Covenant of death, with Moses as the Mediator. We have constant access to the "Holy of Holies" on a daily basis. Under Moses anyone who touched the Ark of the Covenant died. Only the High Priest could enter into it's presence on one day a year.

It is finished.

I see what you are talking about but that is not the meaning of the verse.The verse say that when those who died/sleep in Christ will rise (Resurrect)those in Christ still alive will be changed.Paul in Thess.which is the sister verse say that the resurrection of those who died /sleep in Christ will happen UNTO THE COMING OF THE LORD.
Matthew 24:29-31 tell us about the coming of Jesus after the tribulation of those days.In short there is no mention of a secret return of Jesus before the tribulation contrary to your interpretation

Do you believe that Paul teached a different Gospel to the Corinthians ?

Jesus/church was a mystery not revealed until he came, so much of a mystery even today Jews still don't believe the Messiah has come.

Why do they believe that, for thousand of years they have been looking for the Messiah to come in the "Seventh day", or what we call the second coming and MK, and that coming is described throughout the OT.

But God threw them a curve ball, Jesus came in the evening of the fourth day, and ask people to just "Have faith" that he was the Messiah, and when the Jews asked for a sign as proof, he wouldn't give it to them,

worse yet, he took the children's bread and started feeding it to the dogs.

So that Generation who seen the man who's name is the "Branch", didn't pass until the temple was destroyed, the nation lost and people scattered. (70AD)

At the "Time of the end" (today really) God will gather them back into Israel, but they won't have another Temple until after this Jesus and his crew leaves,

then that "other Messiah" will convince them he is the real McCoy with his lying signs and wonder, and with his "peace treaty", the Jews can even rebuild the temple again and go back to sacrificing, for a little while anyway.

As long as Jesus, church is in the world, there can't be a Jerusalem temple, it was destroyed when Jesus came and can't be rebuild until "AFTER" Jesus leaves. (Rapture)

Now here's your "Test question",

"WHY" can't the "Spirit of God"......."Glorify" both the Jerusalem temple and church at the same time"??????

The "Spirit of God" left the temple, which is the reason they were able to destroy it, anyone who enter the Holy of Holies died "on the spot", but they didn't.

Where in this "Spirit of God" today, and where is the temple in which it "Dwells"???

and what is it going to take to get this "Spirit" out of the temple it is in today and back in the Jerusalem temple, so that an Abomination to that spirit can occur?????

Here's you a clue, The Spirit of God dwelled in the temple in the OT, they didn't have a "Comforter/Holy Ghost" indwelling the "Temple of their body" as the church does.

If the Spirit vacated the temple for the body, don't you think it would have to vacated (taken out of the way) the body "BEFORE" it could return to the Jerusalem temple???

People say they understand the "Trinity" but when it comes to explaining scripture "in context" of the Trinity, many can't.

Israel believe "our Lord is one Lord", they don't recognize the differences in the Trinity and because of it, don't understand the scriptures either, neither will you or anyone else until the Trinity is understood.

You should go back and study Matthew 27 again. God used an earthquake to bring the bodies together and to the surface (opening the graves) at Jesus' death so when He arose they could arise. There will be a worldwide earthquake at the resurrection/rapture shown in 1 Thes 4. There will be a worse one when the Old Testament saints arise.

From the Bible,
can you provide a list of the Old Testament Saints that lived and died BEFORE the Flood?

Why there is no great earthquake mentioned at the Great White Throne judgement when all the dead good or bad since Adam was created who are not part of the first resurrection (those who died in Christ)will rise , if as you say a(massive)resurrection of the dead =A great worldwide earthquake ?

My point is that Adam (doing good /name in the Book of Life) and Cain(doing bad/evil--not in the book of life) will resurrect at the Great White Throne Judgement along with all those who have lived since human was created including those living during the millennium = everybody who are not part of the First Resurrection of those who died in Christ Revelation 20:4-6.

Revelation 20
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

I guess you want Adam to miss the 1000 year reign. I don't think He would want to miss it. Besides, ADam went to heaven as one of the Elders when Jesus rose.

How can there be an "earthquake?"

11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.

You're saying there is a sin condemning people that Jesus hasn't paid for,

and that the sin can just be forgiven without a death to pay for that sin,

since Jesus isn't going to die again.

If sin can just be "Forgiven", why did Jesus have to die, after praying "let this cup pass from me"..."If it's possible"????

don't you believe "every jot/tittle" required by the law will be paid according to what the law requires??????

Jesus didn't just die for "past sins" but all future sins as well, it's why we're "Sealed" until redemption.

Your interpretation is not "in context" with the "LAW" and the "Absolute" removing of sin for believers by Jesus dying "Once".

Mt 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
