So yreferenceims that you cannot prove to have merit or any level of truth , since you have no true knowledge on the topic , you always defer to someone else s teaching so when you are wrong you can say it wasn't you that is wrong ,,,but you are wrong.

The analogy is an illustration of truth that can be proven , but you nor any post tribber will put forth the effort to study thoroughly enough to learn it as you would simply dismiss anything that does not fit in the man made squeeze box doctrine you have .
Your problem is that you are not willing to explore areas you have not explored to learn new truth that you have not yet learned. You may disagree but that in no way indicates what you prefer to believe has any merit

Your mindset is very very much like a very well known publisher who hated hearing the name of Jesus ,he was a very devout outspoken atheist and could not stand hearing Christians speaking about Jesus. His disdain and bitterness toward Christians speaking of Christ was a cup boiling over.

He decided that he was going to go all out to prove Christians to be following a foolish teaching and was intending to be seen by the world as the man who proved to the world that Jesus did not exist and all the stories of him were fairy tales. He unlike you was willing to put forth the time and energy to seek the proof he was looking for. He spent thousands of hours pouring over every writings he could find day after day week after week month after month for like a few years , I'd have to look up the exact number of years as I think it was 2-4 . After doing the studies the result is that he not only realized how wrong HE had been and that Jesus is everything he claims to be and all that is written of Jesus is absolutely provably true .

He is now very prominent born again Christian devoting his life to spreading the Good News of Jesus the Christ writing and publishing books and making documentaries of God in the flesh Yeshua the Christ .

If you would only be willing to open your heart and mind and seek to prove what you say to be true you then would discover just how wrong you are and come to know was is true , but as long you remain stiff necked and refuse to study outside the limited box you have created you'll remain in the fog believing something that zero support in scripture as 100% of what you believe is assumption
Scripture that speaks of the rapture has no mention of a second coming of Christ
Scripture that speaks of the second coming of Christ has no mention of the rapture
The rapture happens in a split second start to finish the second coming lasts a long time to allow every eye on earth to see it happen
your view has no scripture support which is why you have to insert assumptions to make even the flimsiest of a case for it
You should be willing to say things like ....lets explore this together as you want to study and learn .....
no you won't because you think you know it all already --
Once again, a whole bunch of writing and not one scripture reference to support your claim of a pre-trib rapture.

You continue to willfully misrepresent the doctrines of dispensationalism, when you continually accuse us of teaching that modern Jews will come to salvation "outside the church." You know perfectly well that we teach, and very plainly teach, that no one will ever come to salvation outside of faith in Christ. And since we teach that these people will be part of a different group that God never calls "the church," you deceptively phrase your accusation in languge that is technically accurate, but is designed to make it appear that we teach what you very well know we do not teach.

I know that your doctrine only works by ignoring the fact that the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34 is fulfilled by Christ in Hebrews 8:6-13, and is specifically applied to the Church in Hebrews 12:22-24, and 2 Corinthians 3:6-8.

I know you spoke about how important the New Covenant is in your doctrine and then failed to produce anything you have written about the New Covenant.
However, I will not call it "willful misrepresentation".


Do you teach that modern Jews will come to salvation outside of the Church? Yes, or No?

The verses you provide show the second advent of Jesus Christ and the final resurrection.
No pre-trib rapture there.

That's what everyone says who don't take the time to understand what's going on there. The dead are raised, the people are gathered together with the Lord and told to enter their chambers, then the Lord's wrath is poured out on the earth. It's as plain as day.

It's timing of events not only refutes post-trib rapture thought, but also the nonsense that no one goes to heaven.

You did a whole bunch of writing and didnt provide one scripture to support your claim of a pre-trib rapture.
You are like puppy dog barking thinking is effective , but take a step toward and turn tail and run and bark from a farther distance , You can say what you will but you have no proof to show the falsehood you believe to have merit , you have no proof support your allegations , you have no proof of anything 'cept that you will simply fail at every attempt you make

There is no humans in heaven now, only the souls of the martyrs that Jesus will bring with Him at His Return. Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 Proved by Revelation 21:11-15 that says it is only after the Millennium, when all the dead, small and great, [wicked and righteous] stand before God in Judgement. Only those whose names are written in the Book of Life will receive immortality, the rest go into the Lake of Fire.
Thinking that anyone receives immortal bodies before that time is wrong. 1 Corinthians 15:50-56 is another prophecy about that Judgement. Proved by Revelation 21:1-7
I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt that you actually know the bible well, if you did I would not have to show you where it is every time. You seem to be much more in line with Jehovah witness than true genuine Christian teachings . ya know if someone told you that they really know the small town you are in you would expect them to know where the local 7-11 is since it is the only one in town , but when they say they never heard of it and don't believe there is one - it shows they really don't know the town as they said and it is confirmed when this happens over and over .
Well it depends on your personal view of what you think human is. The human body is made of bone and cells , you can touch it, smell it , taste it . Should you have brain surgery the doctor can touch your brain , handle your brain as brain is tissue but he cannot see your mind , cannot touch your mind with his hands , cannot perform surgery on your mind. A person may take a drug that has effects on the mind but still no one can separate the mind from the body as it is not a physical item . ..ya know as I type this it occurred to me that you likely subscribe to the deceptive teaching called soul sleep where people are like a old pair of shoes buried in the yard , you have google you can do your own research.

Scriptures that show that people that die in Christ go directly to be with Christ and it just so happens to be that Christ is in heaven :) do the math Christ is in heaven people who die in Christ go to be with Christ = People that die in Christ go to heaven :)

Luke 23:42
42 And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43 And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

Jesus telling the man that he will be together with Christ Jesus immediately after they are killed
Jesus took all those in paradise into Heaven

Philippians 1
23 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. 24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account

Paul is saying that he would rather depart from his body so he can go be in the presence of Christ but acknowledges it would be better in the interest of his friends that he stay and continue to keep on the evangelical calling on his life

Here is a link that has plenty of text to explain the other things and if that does not answer you questions you can springboard from there to another site

Do you teach that modern Jews will come to salvation outside of the Church? Yes, or No?

.

You know perfectly well that I, and all other dispensationalists, teach, because we see in the scriptures, that "the church," as a distinct group of believers, will be transferred to heaven at the time of the rapture. We teach that no one will ever come to eternal salvation without faith in the blood shed by Lord Jesus Christ. But we also teach that those that come to this faith after the church has been removed from this world will be a part of a different group, something different from the unique body which the scriptures call "the church." But your characterization of this doctrine is not just deceptive, it is a matter of intentionally trying to make it seem that we are teaching that anyone can ever come to salvation outside of faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. I call your chacterization of this willful deception because, and specifically because I know that you know what we teach, so your mischaracterization is not innocent error, but an intentional attempt to deceive people.

There is no pre-trib rapture in the scripture you present, your teaching misrepresents the "Second Advent"


The Scriptures posted in #261 refute you and expose you as a false prophet. Which you have been shown now, many times over. Not only on this site, but another one besides.

Your opinion is meaningless. Either field a Scripturally based argument against the Biblical teaching of the pre-trib rapture of the Church, in my post #261, or your views are false.

Ok, I will. Mowing the lawn can wait!
Paul prophecy in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 is 'crystal clearly' about the actual Return of Jesus for His Millennium reign. Thinking it is describing an earlier 'coming', is not what it means. The faithful Christians who remain, having passed thru the Great Tribulation, Revelation 13:10, will rise to meet Jesus in the clouds. That is: in the earths atmosphere. Exactly as shown in Matthew 24:31.
And so we will be with the Lord forever. On earth, reigning with Him, Revelation 5:9-10, and eventually God and therefore heaven, will be on earth too. Revelation 21:1-7

Accompanied by His angel army. Proved by Matthew 16:27, Revelation 19:14. That's all, the fanciful dream of humans being in that army, is total fiction.

Wrong. Matthew 24:30-31 describes the Return very well: All the peoples of the earth will see Him coming....He will send His angels to gather His chosen from all the places of the world.
Plainly, we are on the earth, we see Him coming, we are gathered to Him by the angels and we live with Him on earth. Revelation 5:9-10


The Marriage is described in Revelation 19:5-10, immediately prior to the Return, Revelation 11:21, NOT seven years before the Return. Actually verse 7 just says the Bride is ready and it seems that the actual Wedding and Supper will take place soon after Jesus has arrived and disposed of the Anti-Christ.

No human returns to heaven because no one ever goes to heaven. John 3:13
The restored Kingdom, is not a Jewish one, but will be the Israel of God, every faithful believer, of every ethnicity and language. Isaiah 66:18b-21, Colossians 1:10-12
The heavens and earth were made to last forever. They will be renovated and restored to the original.

Quasar, you are a Christian brother, but your determination to promote false teachings, is a serious matter. You may not wish to change your beliefs, or even be able to, but you should cease actively pushing theories and ideas that don't have genuine Scriptural support. Remember James 3:1 We who teach will be judged more severely.


Your chronological order of events is out of order as well as your contradiction of the Scripture.

As you read in Jb.14:2-3 and 28, Jesus is coming to take all believers with Him to our Father in heaven. Meanwhile, before we are caught up to Him in the sky, in 1 Thess.4:17, He will take all of us who belong to Him, who die, to heaven with Him, recorded in 2 Cor.5:6-8. Then, when He does return for the rest of us left on earth alive at His coming, He will bring all of those who previously died in Him, back with Him from heaven, recorded in verse 14.

The Church is seen in heaven before the tribulation begins, in 2 Thess.2:3 and 7-8, confirmed in Rev.4:1-2, where Jesus used John to symbolically represent the Church. Who are seen later, at the wedding in heaven, of the Bride/Church to the Lamb/Jesus. Then Jesus returns in His second coming, with His Church; riding white horses, dressed in fine linen, [the righteous acts of the saints, in verse 8] white and clean, in His armies from heaven, recorded in verse 14.

Review my post #261 for the rest.

You may not wish to change your beliefs, or even be able to, but you should cease actively pushing theories and ideas that don't have genuine Scriptural support. Remember James 3:1 We who teach will be judged more severely.


The chronological order of end time events:

1. The very next prophetic event to take place will be the rapture of the Church, consisting of everyone who believes in Jesus Christ as Lord, regardless of denomination, or no denomination at all, as taught by both Jesus as well as the apostle Paul. In Jn.14:2-4, 28; 1 Thes.4:13-18; 2 Thes.2:1-8; Rev.3:10 and 4:1-2. All those who died in Christ, to all those who are still alive at His coming in the clouds of the sky, for His Church, where we will all meet Jesus, from where He will take us to our Father in heaven, as He promised us in Jn.14:2-4 and 28.

2. The rapture of the Christian Church of Jesus Christ preceeds the revealing of the man of lawlessness/beast/antichrist, according to 2 Thes.2:3-4 and 7-8. Which then immediately sets off the seven years of tribulation, as recorded in Mt.24:4-31, Jesus amplification of Dan.9:27. Where the person who is all three of the "he's" in that verse, and the rider of the white horse in Rev.6:2, is revealed. All of whom are the antichrist. It is at this stage of end times chronology the 70th Week of Dan.9:27 will begin.

3. The tribulation is revealed in Jer.30:4-7, referred to as "Jacob's Trouble," and in Dan.9:27, the 70th and final week of God's decree upon the destiny of Israel. In God's revelation to the prophet Daniel, through the angel Gabriel, the 70 "Weeks" [7 years each] of years He has decreed upon the entire destiny of Israel. From the end of their 70 year exile, through the coming seven year tribulation. The person who will set it of is the antichrist, the "he" who will establish a seven year covenant/agreement with them. Dan.9:27.

Jesus amplified and confirmed Daniel's 70th and final "Week," consisting of the abomination that causes desolation, in Mt.24:15 and 21, and in the counterparts of Mk.13 and in Lk.21.

4. The fig trees have sprouted leaves, we can see for ourselves and know that summer is near. Lk.21:29. Which began with the new nation of Israel, when it was reestablished on May 14, 1948.

5. The Christian Church of Jesus Christ is called up into heaven, symbolically illustrated by the apostle John in Rev.4:1-2, confirming 2 Thes.2:3 and 7-8. As prophecied in Jn.14:2-4, 28 and 1 Thes.4:16-17, while Israel and all non-believers will go through the seven year tribulation. The Church is seen again at their marriage of the Lamb [Jesus Christ] to His Bride [The Church] in heaven, recorded in Rev.19:7-9, while the tribulation is taking place on earth.

6. Jesus will return, seven ears later, with His Church, following Him on white horses, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, which stands for the righteous acts of the saints [Verse 8 NIV]. In His Second Coming to the earth, with His angels, in His armies from heaven, in Zech.14:4-5, Mt.24:31, Jude 14, and Rev.19:14.

7. Jesus will fight the battle of Armageddon, with His armies from heaven and end it, recorded in Rev.19:11-21. And save the remnant of Israel, who then recognize Him as their Messiah, recorded in Zech.12:10, and "all Israel will be saved," recorded in Rom.11:26...

8. The antichrist and the false prophet will be thrown into the lake of fire, and the armies of the ten horns [nations] are destroyed. Rev19:17-21. Jesus prophecy in Jn.10:16 will then be fulfilled, when there will be one fold [Israel and His Church] and one Shepherd. It is at this stage of end times chronology the 70 Weeks prophecy in Dan.9:27 will end.
9..Satan is caught and thrown into the Abyss for the same 1,000 years that Jesus will reign, in His kingdom here on the earth. Rev.20:6, confirming Mt.6:9-13; Zech.6:12-13, described in Ez.40-47; Acts 1:6; 2:29-30 and 15:16.

10. The first resurrection takes place which consists of all those brought to the Lord during the tribulation by the 144,000 Israelite evangelists. They will be martyred during the tribulation, by the two beasts, the antichrist, the false prophet and the ten horns [nations] allied to them. Those who are brought to Christ by the 144,000 Israelite evangelists, in the absence of the departed Church during the tribulation, do not belong to the Christian Church [who will be raptured before the seven year tribulation begins, as addressed above]. They will be made priests of God and of Christ, and rule with Him for 1,000 years, after their resurrection, according to Rev.20:4 and 6. They will be beheaded and pay with their lives for their testimony of Jesus, by the two beasts, the antichrist, the false prophet and the ten horns [nations] allied to them..

11. The Millennial Kingdom of Christ will consist of the one body of Christ, His Church, all those who survived the tribulation, besides the resurrected martyrs, and the remnant of Israel. In numbers alone, from an estimated original 7 billion people, there will only be 2.3 billion remaining , of those who had to go through the tribulation, recorded in Zech.13:8. Life expectancy will be greatly increased. Isa.65:20 and 11:6-9.

12. Jesus 1,000 year kingdom will begin at this point, according to Rev.20:6, here on the earth, on the throne of David, in the restored kingdom of Israel, confirming Acts 1:6; 2:29-30 and 15:16. At the same time the 1,000 years Satan will be in the Abyss, according to Rev.20:1-3. Jesus prophecy in Jn.10:16 will then be fulfilled, when there will be one fold, Israel and the Church, with one Shepherd. When Jesus Millennial kingdom has ended, 1,000 years later, at the Great White Throne judgment, recorded in Rev.20:11-15. Satan will be released and go out to deceive the people and nations again in his last rebellion against God and gather a huge army who come against God's people, surrounding Jerusalem. But God will send fire and sulfur down from heaven, as He did at Sodom and Gomorrah, destroying them all, and throwing Satan into the lake of fire, forever, in Rev.20:7-10.

13. The second resurrection takes place according to Rev.20:5, that consists of all those who will be saved during the Millennial reign of Jesus here on the earth, as well as the Godless and wicked, at the Great White Throne Judgment, set up to judge them, right here on earth. The sea, death and Hades all give up their dead and will then be thrown into the lake of fire. Meaning, that all who were in the 'temporal holding tanks' of Sheol, Hades and Hell will be removed to face judgment, along with death itself, disposed of forever. For all those who participate in the second resurrection, if their name is not found in the book of life, will be thrown into the lake of fire forever. Rev.20:11-15, and Dan.12:2 and Mt.25:46 will be fulfilled.

14. The old heaven and earth will pass away, recorded in Rev.21:1 [Destroyed by fire according to 2 Pet.3:7] and God will provide an all new heaven and earth, and the new eternal city of Jerusalem will descend from heaven, 1,500 miles long and as wide as it is long and as high as it is wide, Rev.21:1-16.

15. The rest of chapters 21 and 22 allude to a description of the coming eternal city and life of all believers who will be with the Lord forever.

Scriptures that show that people that die in Christ go directly to be with Christ and it just so happens to be that Christ is in heaven :) do the math Christ is in heaven people who die in Christ go to be with Christ = People that die in Christ go to heaven :)
That belief is not true:
Ecclesiastes 9:5-6...the dead know nothing....
Job 14:12 If a person dies, they can not be roused from this sleep.
Psalms 49:10-12 For we see that all must die, the grave is their home forever......
Isaiah 26:14 Those who are dead will not live again.....
Hebrews 9:27 It is our human lot to die once and the Judgement follows.

But we Christians do have the promises of Jesus:
John 11:25 ...Whoever has faith in Me shall live, even though he dies... and we know when all the dead will stand before God: after the Millennium. Revelation 20:11-15 Only then will all the faithful people, who have endured until the end of their lives and whose names are Written in the Book of life, receive immortality.
Thinking that there is an escape or immortality before then, is obviously false teaching and conflicts with the truth of Scripture.

The two verses you post do not prove a general rapture to heaven of Christians at all. Jesus actually descended to hell for the 3 days following His death and Paul says he will be with Christ after he dies, but omits the period between when he dies and is given eternal life. Which we know does not happen until the 7000 years decreed for this earth is over. Revelation 22:1-7

That's what everyone says who don't take the time to understand what's going on there. The dead are raised, the people are gathered together with the Lord and told to enter their chambers, then the Lord's wrath is poured out on the earth. It's as plain as day.

It's timing of events not only refutes post-trib rapture thought, but also the nonsense that no one goes to heaven.
no special timing as you claim, the Lord removes the righteous and pours his fire in wrath on the ungodly.

People here can read what I point out from scripture and what you like to think the scriptures mean.
Only as things happen, will most realize how false teaching has deceived them. Isaiah 8:16, Isaiah 29:9-12, 2 Peter 2:1-3.....God's judgement is ready for those who deceive the flock.

You are like puppy dog barking thinking is effective , but take a step toward and turn tail and run and bark from a farther distance , You can say what you will but you have no proof to show the falsehood you believe to have merit , you have no proof support your allegations , you have no proof of anything 'cept that you will simply fail at every attempt you make
More writing and no scripture to support a pre-trib rapture, because there arent any.

Post-tribbers always turn a blind eye to that passage. Without fail, every single time. Rest assured, I didn't expect any more from you.

Your lengthy post is completely bereft of scriptural support and full of your beliefs and opinions.

There is no humans in heaven now, only the souls of the martyrs that Jesus will bring with Him at His Return. Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 Proved by Revelation 21:11-15 that says it is only after the Millennium, when all the dead, small and great, [wicked and righteous] stand before God in Judgement. Only those whose names are written in the Book of Life will receive immortality, the rest go into the Lake of Fire.
Thinking that anyone receives immortal bodies before that time is wrong. 1 Corinthians 15:50-56 is another prophecy about that Judgement. Proved by Revelation 21:1-7
Keras is there only one time the book of life is open?

At the GWT judgment, both righteous and wicked are judged, at the resurrection, rev 20:11-15?

Eternity Begins, Lake of fire for the wicked, Eternal Kingdom For the righteous?

No blind eye, Isaiah 26:19-21 clearly speakes of the resurrection and second advent, myself being post trib has nothing to do with it. Your looking for a rapture escape clause, ain't there.

Yes.
At the Judgement of every individual who has ever lived.
Correct.

This is made clear by the prophecy in 1 Corinthians 15:54b-56...Death will be no more. Paralleled by Revelation 21:4.....there will be an end to Death.
Note that the people alive at the end of the Millennium, whose names are in the Book of Life, will not taste death, but be transformed directly into immortality. 1 Corinthians 15:51.
Rapture believers love to make out that this applies to them, but that idea is about as pretentious and unbelievable as Scotty beaming them up!

Isaiah 26:19-21 clearly speakes of the resurrection and second advent,
Isaiah 26:19 applies to the Great White Throne Judgement. Proved by how it is only then that all the dead will rise again. Some to Eternal life and the rest to Eternal punishment.

Isaiah 26:20-21 is a warning for us to take cover during the great and terrible Day of the Lord's vengeance and wrath, the Sixth Seal. We are told to call upon the Name of the Lord and we will be saved, Joel 2:32, Acts 2:21.
But we must also take heed of the many warnings and be sensible and proactive as well. As the DoL will be just a one day, 24 hour event, this should not be difficult; just keep under cover, sheltered from the heat, storms and earthquakes. Get to high ground, as the tsunamis will be enormous. Amos 9:5, Isaiah 13:13, Jeremiah 51:55

Those verses flow together. When you separate them up like that and then assign different events to them, you are distorting scripture on purpose to conform to your own preconceptions.
