There's a big difference between believing that what the Lord showed John is to be taken literally - and simply not believing it.
A really big difference IMO. All the difference in the world in fact.
You can play games by trying to reverse my warning to you if you want to. But you do so at your peril. This is deadly serious as I see it.
I certainly wouldn't want to go through the tribulation - that's for sure. But, having said that, it wouldn't be the first time I had been wrong about a doctrine and had to change what I teach.
It's not the being wrong about the rapture that would bother me.
What bothers me is the utter disregard by you and some others for a portion of the Book of Revelation - which is the framework and likely the impetus for your teaching against the rapture.
I'm just the messenger and I'm just reminding you about what it says by way of warning.
I and others like me believe what the scriptures say about the final judgment (the ones you refer to). But you simply don't believe the ones about the 1000 year reign of Christ with His saints.
And - before you say it again - there is a world of difference between what you think I'm doing and what you are doing.
Marv will you continue to teach a temporary 1000 year earthly kingdom at the return of Jesus Christ?
That same book comes with a warning to those who falsely "ADD" a literal 1000 year kingdom on this earth, that isn't found in
Revelation 20:1-6
Revelation 22:18-19KJV
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Jesus Christ Returns In the final judgment, eternal life, eternal kingdom, as he taught below, you have been clearly shown Marv.
There will be no future 1000 year kingdom on this earth, with mortal humans present, as Jesus sits on a throne watching mortal humans dying around him.
Verses 31-32 Jesus Returns with the angels, the nations are gathered for final judgment.
Verse 34 The eternal kingdom is presented to the righteous.
Verse 41 The wicked are judged to the eternal lake of fire.
Verse 46 The righteous obtain eternal life, and enter the eternal kingdom in verse 34
"ETERNITY BEGINS"!
Matthew 25:31-46KJV
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
