Heya Ephod,
There are basically 3 main groups of beliefs on how end time events will unfold. There are pre trib, mid trib, and post trib. What I am describing reconciles all three schools of thought into one, and deals with what seem to be contradictions in the scripture on the matter. If there are only 3.5 years or half of a week remaining on the prophetic schedule, then the pretrib and mid trib folks are talking about the same timeframe. If there are two rapture events, then the pre and post trib folks are satisfied.
When I speak of of types of believers, I am speaking of their level of spiritual development, not really their belief structure on end time events. All believers are born again, which makes them babes. Babes don't rule and reign over kingdoms, only mature adults. Your role in the kingdom, or outside of it will be determined by what you are, what level of development you have reached, whether you were a profitable or unprofitable servant. Jesus saved us from eternal damnation. Our actions or inactions determine how rich or poor, weak or strong, we will be.
I am curious if any of you have read, "The Great Divorce" by CS Lewis?
Let me ask all of you, what determined what loins you would be born out of? Why were you born in the country that you were, in the time in history that you were born? Why now instead of 100 or 1000 years ago? Why were you not born a slave? I could go on and on. My reason for asking is to see how many think these things are random, chance, or deliberate things. I tend to think that what we are now, may be a consequence of what we were, previously. Why is George Bush president of the USA instead of me? Out of all of the people born in England since its inception, how many have been king, and why those particular individuals?
