There is no Rapture

keras said:

First; prove there will be a rapture. to heaven.
1 Thess 4:17 may be construed as a 'rapture', but it cannot be to heaven, as Jesus will have departed from heaven and is on His way to Jerusalem.

On His way to Jerusalem ? No way. That is not in the text.

Jesus raises in the dead in Christ. And translates the living in Christ. keras, that involves billions of people.

--------------------------------------------

The rapture/resurrection will be to heaven, where Jesus has prepared a place for those who believe in Him.

John 14:

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. [ the way to where, keras ? ]

As for converts during the Great Trib, the Bible does not support that, as Revelation 13:3b=4, says all the peoples not mentioned in Rev 12, will go after the beast in wondering admiration.
Also in Revelation 9:210-21, the rest of mankind .......did not repent of their sins. [rest of mankind, that is: those people who didn't receive white robes and the Seal of God, as per Rev 7.

keras, that is not at what Revelation 13 says. It does not refer to them who fled into the wilderness in Revelation 12:14.

Also, the woman in Revelation 12 is Israel. And the Jews turning to Jesus and the gospel of salvation is in Revelation 12:10.

The ones in Revelation 12:14 are them living in Judea at the time, who heed Jesus's words to flee to the mountains right when they see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.

The ones in Revelation 12:17 are the Jews who did not flee right away, and will be vulnerable to persecution by Satan until Jesus returns in Zechariah 14 to rescue them.


_______________________________________________________________________

keras, in your scenario, if I recall correctly, is that the great tribulation will take place at time when a replacement nation called Beulah made up of Christians from around the world - established after a solar event wipes out all the present inhabitants of Israel.

If so, and that you maintain the rapture/resurrection is to take Christians safely to another part of the world - then who in Jerusalem in Zechariah 14, does Jesus return to rescue ? Because in your scenario all the Christians will be gone. It should be completely empty.

The Second Coming is not the same event as the Day of the Lord.

In your logic, Jesus was placed on the Cross as a baby, and hung there for 33 years without dying. The first coming and the Cross were two distinct events, although the Cross was the result of the first coming.

The Day of the Lord is the result of the Second Coming. Your verses address the Second Coming, not the actual Day of the Lord. Jesus does not show up for the Day of the Lord. Jesus has a lot of work to accomplish, on earth, before the Day of the Lord can even start.

There is no gap between the 69th week and the 70th week. Jesus' life was cut off in 33 AD, halfway through the 70th week. At the end of the 70th week, the Jews, their temple, and their city were destroyed by fire.

The day of the Lord can be a judgment upon disobedient, unbelieving people.

Isaiah 13:6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is near; as destruction from the Almighty it will come!
Isaiah 13:9 Behold, the day of the Lord comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the earth a desolation and to destroy its sinners from it.

God used the Roman armies in 67-70 AD to punish the unbelieving Jews for their sinfulness. The Jews' religious system (their heaven and earth) was destroyed by fire in 70 AD.

The world, or heaven and earth, actually pertain to the people on the earth. The evil people in Noah's day were killed by the flood. The evil Jews in Peter's day were killed by fire.

2 Peter 3:5-7 They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water and by means of water, 6 through which the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

Jesus does not physically come to earth to rule in Jerusalem before his second coming.

They are the ones who did agree to the 7 year peace treaty with the Anti-Christ beast. They will either become martyrs or will renounce God and lose their Salvation.
Where do you get the idea the people in Rev 12 & 13 are Jews? Why do you ignore Prophesies like Zephaniah 1:14-18, Jeremiah 12:14, Romans 9:27 and many others which say the Jews will be gone after the Lords Day of fiery wrath? Read Ezekiel 21:1-7 - write it out for me please.

Correct. There will be very few, if any Christians still living in the holy Land when Jesus Returns. That is why in Matthew 24:31, He gathers those faithful Christian peoples from their place of safety to Jerusalem.
Jesus will of course, dispose of the AC and his army at Armageddon, first.

This is not correct, the 70th 'week' - the last 7 years of the 70 as Daniel Prophesied, has not taken place yet, It simply does not fit around the death and Resurrection of Jesus in the first Century. There is no accurate starting or ending point of it in history.
It does fit with Revelation, where the second half of the final 7 years is described many times, as an exact 1260 day period.

In verse 4, Jesus said he was going to heaven. And that the way to heaven is by believing in Jesus.

When Jesus returns, all the dead bodies are raised and they will rejoin with their spirits, wherever they are. The righteous people of this group will accompany Jesus to meet his righteous people still on earth. These righteous people on earth will rise up from the earth to meet them in the air and then Jesus will sit on his throne and the books will be opened. Jesus will show everyone which are his sheep and which are the goats.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first; 17 then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

The righteous, who are eagerly waiting on earth for Jesus to come, will receive their imperishable bodies as they rise to meet Jesus in the air.

1 Corinthians 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

John 5:28-29 Do not be astonished at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and will come out: those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation.

There is only one imperishable resurrection of dead bodies and this resurrection occurs at the last trumpet at the end of time.

Jesus' kingdom is a spiritual kingdom. He does not physically come back to earth to rule in Jerusalem before He judges mankind.

Jesus destroys all antichrists with his word, the sword of truth. He uses people on earth to accomplish this. He also dispatches angels to do his will.

Hebrews 4:12 Indeed, the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Revelation 1:16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and from his mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining with full force.

The following scripture occurred between 67 and 70 AD. Jesus used the Roman armies to defeat the unbelieving Jews from every nation who were living in Jerusalem. These Jews were from every nation under heaven:

Revelation 19:15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a scepter of iron; he will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

Acts 2:5 Now there were devout Jews from every people under heaven living in Jerusalem.

The Second Coming is Jesus physically Coming to earth to complete the 70th week.

You say 69 weeks contain 7 years each, but then the 70th week lasts for over 70 years? That does not make sense.

I am not sure why people in 2024 want the 483 years to end at an exact date, like they are date setters, and then the 490 years on an exact date, but then they throw 70AD into the same 490 years? You all did not live in the first century, so it would not effect you at all, just your ego and theology.

There were only two people still alive after the 69th week ended years before Jesus was born who even remembered what would happen, Simeon and Anna. They were old and ready to die. Jesus accomplished 3.5 years as Messiah, and then was cut off, until the Second Coming. At the Second Coming, Jesus will finish the last 3.5 years as King on a throne in Jerusalem. Jesus is the Messiah and Prince to come of this promise given to Daniel by Gabriel. Jesus was the Christ and King, yes. But for Israel, the King part is still future. That is what the Second Coming is for.

History will remember the exact moment of the Second Coming. All the works of man will be instantly burned up, and only what God creates and sustains will survive, for the time of Jacob's trouble.

For 42 months (1260 days or 3 1/2 years) between 67 and 70 AD, the Roman armies sieged and destroyed Jerusalem just as Jesus prophesied. (A time equals 1 year. Times equal 2 years. Half-time equals 1/2 year—3 1/2 years total). 70 years equals 1 week, or 7 days, in Daniel's prophecy.

Luke 21:21 When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.

The 70 weeks of Daniel were fulfilled by the end of 70 AD. The prophet Daniel allotted Seventy weeks (490 years) for his prophecy to be fulfilled. 70 weeks X 7 days = 490 years.

Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

The anointed, most holy Jesus finished the first covenant in 33 AD with his death on the cross (in the middle of the 70th week). Jesus reconciled us to God with his death on the cross. Jesus brought in everlasting righteousness with his New covenant. Jesus finished Daniel's prophecy. He destroyed unfaithful Jerusalem in 70 AD. He used the Roman armies to do his will.

Blocked ? It does not say blocked. It says they flee through the east-west valley created to the Jordan river valley. Fleeing in similitude to their forefathers during king of Judah Uzziah's time. The ones who will flee though that valley are Jews.

There is no valley there at present. The valley is created when when Jesus's feet touches down and He stands on the Mt. of Olives. The valley will run east-west, as half of the mount of Olives moves to the north, and half to the south.

Zechariah 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

You never did say who Jesus's rescues when He returns to Jerusalem, because you just can't admit it will be the Jews. All you claim is that Christians of the nation of Beulah (your scenario) will be raptured to another place in the world aforehand, which also you ignore that the rapture also includes the resurrection of the them who sleep in Christ.

Douay-Rheims Bible
Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are shortened upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, that transgression may be finished, and sin may have an end, and iniquity may be abolished; and everlasting justice may be brought; and vision and prophecy may be fulfilled; and the saint of saints may be anointed.

Daniel's vision is about Jesus Christ. Jesus fulfilled the OT prophecies, that were written about him, with his sacrificial death. His death and resurrection fulfilled (finished) the first covenant. His sacrificial death ratified (put in place) his New Covenant.

The prophets were until John the Baptist. Jesus fulfilled the prophecies which were written about him in the Old Testament.

Matthew 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John came;

Luke 16:16 “The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone takes vigorous steps to enter it.

Matthew 5:17 “Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them.

After his resurrection, Jesus stated that he had fulfilled every OT prophecy concerning him:

Luke 24:44 Then he said to them, “This is what I meant when I told you while I was still with you: Everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

Jesus Christ reigns in heaven now over all of God's creation. He will reign there with his saints until he comes to earth at the end of time. After he comes to earth at the end of time and we rise to meet him in the air, we will then accompany him to the judgment seat (his throne) and he will judge mankind.

Zechariah 14:16 was fulfilled when the second temple was built. This temple was known as the heaven and earth of the Jews. Jesus fulfilled the Feast of Tabernacles. Now, in the NC, our home is the church aka the heavenly New Jerusalem. We Christians are now the temples of God.

Hebrews 12:22-24 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, 23 and to the assembly of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel.

This is not even historically accurate. You need to reread your history. Have you ever heard of the year of the 4 emperors? That was 69AD. The Romans had a civil war that year. Titus came back in 70AD. No one was interested in Jerusalem that year. They were trying to figure out who the next emperor would be.
