Sounds like the makings of a thread......oh wait.....there is one:
Allusions in Revelation from Old Testament
I find this person's view concerning the "allusions" found in the book of Revelation that are found in the Old Testament/Covenant rather fascinating.
Would anyone like to put down verses from Revelation and the verses from the OT/OC that are "alluded" to? I think that would be enjoyable and edifying. Thanks
THE SYMBOLISM IN BOOK OF REVELATION
One man studied and found 348 allusions (not illusions, Light) in Revelation from the Old Testament. You see the similarity in wording and the context mirrored in Revelation and the particular Old Testament story, and immediately can recognize the reference source!
That's IF you know the bible well enough to even notice that.
95 of the 348 plain references used in Revelation as taken from the Old Testament are repeated in Revelation.
That makes about 250 Old Testament passages are cited. How many chapters are in Revelation? 22. That makes about TEN OLD TESTAMENT REFERENCES FOR EVERY CHAPTER!

Btw merry Christmas. What is your interest?Not one to debate and no offense but I have no interest in those threads. Just pointing out a truth I felt you should know.
Btw merry Christmas. What is your interest?

Readers, this is hilarious! God's plan is "a dangerously misleading idea!"Merry Christmas to you as well.
I meant those threads don't interest me because I've done my study and meditation on this and sought God through prayer.
Pre-tribulation rapture is a dangerously misleading idea. Scripture is clear enough to specifically warn against it. The passages you made mention of are allusions because those events occurred already and where used as a reference to mean they will occur again.
One important point: most people that deny pretrib can't delineate "the trib" correctly in Revelation. How then can they know what is pretrib and what isn't?
Good thinking! One of your best replies ever!
Scofield would be much better.
I agree: Paul shows us a paradigm: He brings up two different groups of people and shows us that each has a different outcome at one moment of time: those in Christ get raptures, so escape; but those in darkness are left behind and cannot escape the sudden destruction.For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
BUT ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
A closer look at the passage shows that "coming as a thief in the night" refers to unbelievers.
At the end of chapter 4, Paul speaks about the gathering and says to the Ephesians to comfort one another with these words. In chapter 5 he continues saying the Lord comes as a thief in the night but that they, the believers, know perfectly well that the day of the Lord comes "as a thief in the night."
Since they know that, Verse 2 uses the words THEY and THEM ....sudden destruction....and THEY shall not escape. That doesn't imply believers! It implies unbelievers!
BUT ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
The word BUT proves what was previously said refers to unbelievers because the word BUT is a conjunction that shows opposition from the previous statement. BUT YE BRETHREN in verse 3 shows opposition to the "they and them" in verse 2. Coming as a thief in the night refers to unbelievers, their destruction, and inability to escape. Paul says believers are aware of the Lord's return as a thief, unbelievers are not. THEY and THEM doesn't infer Christians, it infers unbelievers.
Thayer's, "universally, by way of opposition and distinction; it is added to statements opposed to a preceding statement:"
Genesis 1:1 (KJV)
