Help me understand...

I believe believers(those who have accepted Christ)will hear the shout and the trump, but non believers will not. Making it possible for the Antichrist to deceive them with whatever story he chooses to allay their questions.

Hope this helps. I had better add this is my own personal opinion.

...why so many people believe the rapture will be a silent event when 1 Thess. 4:16 says:
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

...just curious...

Even so come, Lord Jesus!

Hello Josiah,
I have never run across this in the scriptures. So unless I just missed it, what you are asking for is opinions here. I'll give it my best shot.

The loud command from the voice of the Archangel, and the trumpet call of God will only be heard in heaven. He will come like a thief in the night, and thiefs try not to make noise. I believe the command is for the angels to go get the believers. They will then gather the elect from the earth, and bring them to stand before the Son of Man, in the clouds. What an awesome day that will be!

Hey Josiah,
I wouldn't start putting myself down if I were you. You are learning, just like everyone else is. I'm still learning too. When we get to the point that we know it all, we won't be on this earth anymore. Yes, it's true that some know more than do others, but hey. That goes with everything. The more you put into something, the more you're gonna get out of it. This is a great place to come and get your knowledge increased. Hang in there Dude, and never stop seeking, there is always more treasure to be found. See Ya!!

First off, there is no "rapture"..... The word is not even
in the word of God.

The trumps, are events that take place. So, if you have eye's
to see, and ears to hear, then in that sense, you will hear
them, and realize what is happening.

Our Father, Christ, does not return untill the 7th trump.
Anti-christ comes before our Father, in the 6th trump.

"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six"

Anti-christ, the dragon, satan, whatever name you chose to use,
will be here at the;

6th trump
6th seal
6th vial

666..... Pretty easy to understand if you want to.....

satan will be here claiming to be Christ, but he is the false christ.
And those who chose to believe his "babel" (meaning confusion),
will recieve his mark. Those who chose to follow Jesus, will recieve
God's (YHVH) mark.

If you want to "fly away" with satan, then thats your choice, our
Creator has given all of us free will to choise if we want to love
Him (YHVH), or follow satan.....

Our Father, Christ, does not return untill the 7th trump. Anti-christ comes before our Father, in the 6th trump.

What do you mean by "Our Father, Christ"?

Touche! Josiah,

As a matter of fact, the word 'Trinity' is not used in the Bible, either.

Okay, lets see here. Lets start I guess with
John 1:1-14 I will not type this all out, grab
your Bible and read if you like.

As you can read there, Jesus, Yashua, The Christ is God.
Jesus is the living word. If thats not as cut and dry as it
get's, I don't know what is....

Okay, on to the so called "Rapture" doctrine.

Read Ezekiel, chapter 13, verse 20. After that, I suggest you
read all of chapter 13. God is dealing with, and will deal with
all of these so called preachers. God and His people run from
nothing. Why? Well, there is nothing to run from.

Also, read Matthew chapter 24 again, only this time stick with
the subject, and don't run off in your head where ever it wants
to go. If you need help, the subject is: Verse 6.
The one taken in the field is taken by the false christ. Read
verse 46. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh
shall find so doing.

Also, read Mark 13. God has told us all things, time to get crackin.

Notice very carefully that one will be taken, and the other left. This is not about some boogie man Anti-christ coming to sneak up on and snatch out one of every two. The one out of two means half. Half of the church will be ready when the bridegroom comes for them. The other half will be tried by fire, or purified. Go to the next chapter of the book, Matt. 25:, and see this truth, the parable of the ten virgins. Only half are true believers, they are watching and waiting, they are ready. These were the five wise virgins.

But the other half were not ready, they were foolish, and they will get left behind. For these five, Gods gift is no longer free. They will have to shed their own blood now, not to buy their way into heaven, but they will be overcome by the Anti-christ. He will be given power to overcome the saints, but not the church. These foolish ones will have to refuse the mark of the beast to live in heaven.

The bride will have made herself ready, or pure, or a true believer. She will be prepared when Jesus calls for her to join Him. Only half of the body will go.

She (the bride) will be taken out of the body, just like Eve was taken out of Adams body. The rest of the body- some have accepted Jesus as their savior, but weren't ready, - or have let the cares of this world or false doctrine mis-lead them. They will go through the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation, so they can be purified by fire. See Rev. 3:14-19....

OK, time for the M.O.G. to get involved!

The Rude Dude will handle this!

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

What does that say!!! WITH That word would not be there if you my friend made sence.

You see God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit were all there from the beginning.

John 1:1 just talks about the 2, Jesus & God and how they are One (the H.S. also) and from the beginning.

So what this is I dont have a clue! your weird dialect

>>>>Our Father, Christ, does not return untill the 7th trump.
Anti-christ comes before our Father, in the 6th trump.


Is that a biblo-englo language? Are you a "Jesus only" member??

Your junk>>>Okay, on to the so called "Rapture" doctrine.

Read Ezekiel, chapter 13, verse 20. After that, I suggest you
read all of chapter 13. God is dealing with, and will deal with
all of these so called preachers. God and His people run from
nothing. Why? Well, there is nothing to run from.

This does not even pertain to the Rapture!


This does!
1Th 4:17-18 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.


As in the greek word "Harpazo" which means "snatch up" or to "lift". "Rapture" is the Latin word for the same.

Example: Act 8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.


This is jiberish by you >>>> God is dealing with, and will deal with all of these so called preachers. God and His people run from nothing. Why? Well, there is nothing to run from.


And this shows me you dont have a clue as to the teaching on the subject of the rapture or the tribulation.

Your junk >>>>Also, read Matthew chapter 24 again, only this time stick with

Show me some of that from the real Bible
You my friend dont appear to know squat about the Word of God!


M.O.G.

WOE - NELLY!!

I sure can feel the temperture risin' now. Time to take a dip, and maybe someone will also need a drink, to cool that tongue down.
No doubt ! ! ! ! Time to split >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hey Dude,


>>>Blunt isn't necessarily always good!


But in some cases a good thing. Paul rebuked peter "to his face", the "heat" got pretty heavy between Paul & Barnabus over John mark (Mark). And Jesus did get pretty upset with those pharisees.

Truthfully though bro, I'm not hot about it at all. People will or will not listen, and I see he's one that wont. I basiclly gave him what he gave us because there's to many sunday face's at this forum. I'm a pretty forward person some times that's all. I dont put on a face, and at the same time I dont "go off" just because I'm offended. I gave hime some of his own medicne


We Love all bro, doesn't mean we have to like them.

God bless Bro!


M.O.G.

I hear ya MOG. If we all had the same personality it'd be a boring world.

Camaro you sound like a oneness penticostle to me. You my friend are not letting God speak to you in his Word. Slow down and take another look. I fear you may be letting others lead you astray. I will ask you this one thing: What must you do to be saved?

Also consider the verse under my forum name: 2 Tim 2:24-26:

"And &#65279;a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, &#65279;able to teach, &#65279;&#65279;patient, &#65279;25&#65279; &#65279;&#65279;in humility correcting those who are in opposition, &#65279;&#65279;if God perhaps will grant them repentance, &#65279;&#65279;so that they may know the truth, &#65279;26&#65279; and that they may come to their senses and &#65279;escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will."

God Bless my friends
