  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

1Thessalonians4:15-17, the resurrection/rapture event will be before His return, so that the living in Christ will not have to go through the great tribulation when God's wrath will be poured out. The resurrection/rapture event is also in 1Thessalonians5:9-11, verse 10.
You know Douggg, there is still time for you to correct your beliefs, -
1 Thess 4:15-17 says Jesus has departed from heaven and will meet His peoples in the earths atmosphere.
1 Thess 5:10 does not say when His people will be with Him forever. We get that information from Revelation 21. AFTER the Millennium.

As for your propaganda picture, it is in fact; a gross insult to the truths of Bible Prophecy.

1Thessalonians5:9 says before God's wrath is poured out.

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

The 70th week of Daniel was in the first century. There cannot be a pause in the counting of Daniel's weeks. It is a linear timeline.
Daniel 9:24 refutes you.
The 6 items listed there are not yet fulfilled. That 7 year period will take place just prior to the glorious Return, as confirmed by Revelation.
THEN, after Jusus reigns over the world, they will be.
At the end of time, Jesus will gather his followers from the earth. They will rise to meet him in the air, and they will follow him to the Mount of Olives and then onward to the Kidron Valley (Valley of Jehoshaphat) for the final judgment. Joel 3:12
You deny Jesus His reward, Psalms 2:8
You also deny the Words of Revelation 20; the thousand years after the Return, is repeated six times. THEN comes Judgment by God. Daniel 7:9-10

You are well named! Just keep digging yourself deeper into error.

Not appointed to wrath,
does not say: removed from wrath. Many Prophesies tell us how the Lord will protect those who Call upon His Name, as they pass through the dramatic events yet to come.

It is sheer nonsense to think anyone can go to live in heaven before testing and Judgment.
And as for thinking you will return with Jesus, riding a white horse, that idea surpasses every fairy tale and fable ever imagined.

verse 9 - not appointed to wrath
verse 10 - avoidance of God' wrath poured out during the great tribulation by the resurrection/rapture event.

salvation is two part:
1. redemption of our soul (wen we first believe in Jesus's atonement for our sins)
2. redemption of our body (the resurrection/rapture event)

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

The End Time Puzzle is inevitably connected to the bright explosion of the giant planet Jupiter like a bright star in the sky – the sign of the Son of Man at the Second Coming. In an astronomical context, „Amen“ (see Isaiah 65: 16 in Hebrew – „God Amen“) or „Amon“ is the ancient Egyptian name for the planet Jupiter – the star of the rising (from the east) (cf. Isaiah 41: 2). We humans live in the center of a binary – Sun-Jupiter, star system. The sacredly written opening text of the „Gospel of John“ can be deciphered in the following astronomical sense: - „In the beginning was Jupiter („the Word“); and Jupiter was with the Sun (God); and Jupiter was the Sun (God). Jupiter was with the Sun in the beginning. All these things came into being through Jupiter; and without Jupiter nothing came into being that has come into being. In Jupiter was life and life was light for the pyramids [the „human“ made of quartz dust from the earth – the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt – the „man“ in red and the Temple in the city of Jerusalem, Israel – the „woman“ (see Genesis 1: 26,27; 2:7), dressed in a white dress (garment) of light; these two pyramids/mountains/trees/horns/men were originally made in (or according to) the image of the Son – the Lord-God Yahweh/Jupiter (see Romans 8: 29; cf. Matthew 19: 4); - „he has also put eternity in their hearts“ (i.e. he connected their central heart-crystals with the Power/Spirit of the Universe; see Ecclesiastes 3: 11)]. Thus, in the beginning Yahweh/Jupiter shone like the sun; he is a star, described by the ancients as the „great luminary“ and ruled the day (see Genesis 1: 16). But he was treacherously killed (pierced, through the energy of a scalar weapon - the „spear of the gods“?; the mark of this is probably his wound, called the „great red spot“) by the collective energy of Saturn and his angels - Mars and Mercury, and by the Earth (cf. Revelation 1: 7a); from a star he seemed to be extinguished and hid (humbled himself) in the image of a planet (cf. John 17: 5; Philippians 2: 5-11). But the book of Revelation reveals the secret that Jupiter will again be glorified („with power and great glory“) - and will be revealed as a brilliant luminary [he will burst forth brightly and shine like a beautiful star and sun (see Malachi 4:2; Matthew 24: 27,30; cf. Zechariah 14: 6-9); he is the „star of Jacob“ and the exalted „scepter of Israel“ (see Numbers 24: 17)] and together with the Sun will reign in the Temple of the New Heaven, and on the New Earth (cf. Revelation 21: 22) [in Hebrew „Chesed“ (the name of the planet Jupiter) and „Tiphereth“ (the nickname of the Sun) were the two powers (thrones) in heaven (cf. Daniel 7: 9-14); for the Jews „Chesed“ was God’s compassionate „mercy“ („mercy“) or God’s „love“; in ancient times Jupiter – „Chesed“ was called „tikkun olam“ [„repairer of the world“; the word „olam“ in various ancient languages also means „eternal (a constant sound, noise or call throughout time)“]. - „He makes peace in His heights“ (cf. Job 25: 2b). He is called „the mediator, the first among a thousand“ (Job 33: 23b; cf. Song of Songs 5: 10); in ancient times Jupiter was also called „Shiloh“ (Hebrew „Shiloh“) – „Peacemaker“ (see Genesis 49: 10c); „Prince of Peace“ (see Isaiah 9: 6c). In Gnostic literature „aeon“ (Hebrew „olam“) is considered to be the life force emanating from the supreme deity, associated with the governance of the universe (cf. Psalms 93: 1; 96: 10); the aeons are the greatest (eternal) cycles of life (cf. Matthew 25: 46b). For us on Earth, the great aeons of time are apparently related to the energy (Holy Spirit) emanating (radiating), periodically sent, through/through Yahweh/Jupiter, on the one hand (cf. John 16: 7) and from/through the Sun, on the other hand (cf. John 15: 26). Planet Earth will again be the companion („Bride“) of (the midnight „Bridegroom“) Jupiter (as she was his in the times before sin and the breaking up of our entire planetary system).
