    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    Mt 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown...

    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    Yes, as Israel got farther away from God they started killing the scapegoat instead of turning it loose to die on it's own in the wilderness, They had a tradition of tying a colored cloth up in the temple, when it turned white they knew the scapegoat had died, but in order to "help God", and...

    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    last three days. http://i27.tinypic.com/x3gy0p.jpg "Day of Christ" "Day of the Lord" "Day of God" Jews won't believe without "Signs and wonders", which Jesus won't give, Except with the "Day of Christ" or Rapture, that will be a sign the world/Israel can no longer ignore that Jesus was who he...

    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    Yes but an "Extremely few" in the church know anything about the feast or their foreshadowing/prefiguring of the New Testament. "Passover lamb" and "Scapegoat" is the most you will ever hear, if even that much, but even with these two, few understand the difference between them, which is why...

    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    OK, then why don't you "EXPLAIN" to "Everybody" why a temple is rebuild, why sacrifices restart, why the AC stops the sacrifices by entering the Holy of Holies, and why people in the trib will have to be willing to give up the life of the flesh to be saved, or literally die, but the church...

    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    Yep, if you're "IN CHRIST", and the "BODY OF CHRIST" what else would you be??? Jesus is the corn of wheat planted, and the church is the "Firstfruit" of the "Wheat" going to heaven, as plainly laid out in the Feast of trumpets. http://i25.tinypic.com/2e0mp6t.jpg

    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    Subject of the entire chapter, then what is the parable of the fig tree that was fulfilled in 70 AD doing there?? Mt 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: Why would the church be worried about traveling on the Sabbath, only the Jews, under the...

    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    You obviously don't have a clue as to what "Firstfruit" means, But it means the reaping of the "Firstfruit" that was produced by the "Corn of wheat" planted. That would be the Rapture of the Church, "First", but God commanded that the whole "Field" (world) not be reaped so that the "Poor"...

    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    Then why exclude the Rich man if everybody is excluded?? Heaven is where God and his throne are, are they located somewhere on earth??? Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: It's certain you didn't get anything from it, just...

    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    God's kingdom is the whole universe, but to separate his physical presents of heaven from his spiritual presents in the world, one is called the "Father", the other the "Son", which will deliver the kingdom of God up the kingdom of heaven. 1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have...

    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    You're right, there was never a rapture promised to Israel, only the church, which is why you won't find a rapture mentioned any place God is dealing with Israel, Just as Jesus/church was a mystery not revealed to Israel, neither was the rapture of the church, that's why all three...

    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    Mt 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Mt 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Mt 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples...

    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    Wow, You're so far out in left field you can't "See" anything. At the time of the rapture, the world is not expecting anything to happen, like in Naoh's days, life is going on "Normally", people marrying/planting crops, expecting a big future, but Jesus comes to rapture the church. At the time...

    Why do people believe in a Rapture?

    Pre trib: Mt 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came...
