       There's a trick to prophecy, I hope this will be a blessing.
       Make Revelations fit into the prophecies of open scripture, as
       in Paul and the little apocalypses of Jesus along with the OT
       prophets, don't try to make the open prophecies fit into
       Revelations....there is where people get tangled.
       Everything WE as the church need to know is in the open
       scriptures, a lot of Revs concerns the Jews.
       [/quote]
       Well, that is A very true statement!  Zechariah echoes much of
       Revelation and has some things that have already occurred, too.
       Isaiah and other books landscape multiple prophecies that have
       deep text that prophesies several different time periods and
       such.
       Well said.

       Are you the guy on TF who said the resurrection is actually a
       collection of resurrections? That might explain a lot. I might
       actually come to believe that. I wish I knew how to make these
       threads include the post I am replying to. I have to keep
       switching back and forth to see all you said. It looks to me
       from reading Rev 20:4 that all those groups of people went
       through Daniel's 70th week. Was that your point? I'll try to
       figure out how to quote your post in my reply so I can give you
       a better answer.
       [/quote]
       The Church does not go through Daniel's 70th week. The 24 Elders
       represent them in Chapter 4 and throughout the 70th week.
       All the others that were alive at its beginning lost their
       heads if they believed in Jesus Christ. This includes the
       144,000 .
       The OT saints were dead thus not alive during daniel's 70th week
       but were resurrected after the the 70th week and before the
       millennium.
       The beginning of the Millennium was the end of the 1st
       resurrection!
       The 2nd resurrection is nothing more that for those that are
       unbelievers and must face the White Throne Judgement.

       Here is the point at which we diverge. I say that the church
       will go through Daniel's 70th week until wrath begins at the 7th
       trumpet. Now we will begin to argue things such as when does
       wrath begin, and why Daniel's 70th week includes both the church
       and national Israel. I can see this discussion as if it happened
       yesterday. I compare Matt 24:29-31 to 1Thess 4:13-8 and see the
       exact same event in both passages. Some may say, wait, one is
       for the Jews and the other is for the Church, because
       dispensationalism says it must be two different events. I say
       that dispensationalism is wrong on this point. I think they are
       wrong on the definition of the church too. I think the church
       started with Christ and the disciples during His earthly
       ministry, not at Pentecoste. The church (both the Jewish and
       Gentile elements) were grafted into the plan already in
       operation. The Jewish believing remnant was joined by the
       Samaratins, then the Gentiles. We are not separate from them.
       The nation of Israel left God, He did not leave them.
       Rom 11:1  I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid.
       For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe
       of Benjamin.
       Rom 11:5  Even so then at this present time also there is a
       remnant according to the election of grace.
       Rom 11:7  What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he
       seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest
       were blinded
       Rom 11:11  I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall?
       God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto
       the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
       Rom 11:12  Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world,
       and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much
       more their fulness?
       You said this, "The beginning of the Millennium was the end of
       the 1st resurrection!"
       I completely agree with this, but it fits with pretribulation or
       pre-wrath. If the church is gone before the great tribulation,
       where in the world to all the saved people come from that are
       beheaded etc?
       [/quote]
       Joe, I probably already answered this and if I did, disregard
       this as it most likely a duplicate.lol   You speak of the 7
       trumpets  as the beginning of the God's wrath? God's wrath begin
       REv 6:1. Jesus referred to the last half of Daniel's week as the
       Great Tribulation. Well it is only one third of the problem.
       During the 6 seals, 1/4 of the population and earth (fish, etc)
       will die. DUring the trumpets, 1/3 of the remaining population
       and earth (fish, etc.) will die. During the final third of the
       Judgements of GOD. it gives no number of dead on population but
       all the fish, etc in the oceans will die. OH!, China will lose
       her 200 million man army and all those who have taken the mark
       of the beast will die. I will assume they will all die at the
       same time. When Jesus speaks that WORD? Only those who have not
       taken the mark and have survived all of God's wrath will be
       left.
       IF you believe in the rapture, and believe it is pre-wrath, then
       look to prophecy to answer your questions?   Hope this help.
       Amellinnialism is Heresy. It actually calls GOD a  liar! Please
       don't do that route?

       Blade,
       Don't worry about trying to say things the easy way. I
       appreciate you being direct.
       As to the idea of Matt:24 and 1Thes being similar, but not the
       same, I look to Rev 1:4-8. Notice the clouds here too. He comes
       in the clouds AND every eye shall see Him.
       Rev 1:4  John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be
       unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which
       is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his
       throne; 5  And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,
       and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings
       of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our
       sins in his own blood, 6  And hath made us kings and priests
       unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever
       and ever. Amen. 7  Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye
       shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds

       which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
       John wrote to the seven churches in Asia, which I believe were
       literal, historical churches, just like churches are today. Look
       what John tells them to look for. It is a coming of Christ with
       clouds where every eye shall see him.  Please keep in mind that
       my main thrust in this discussion is not to convince you of my

       Antichrist will have reigned, will have opposed everything
       called god [that IS the great tribulation] and seated himself in
       the temple declaring himself to be God, THEN the Lord descends
       from heaven with a shout and destroys Antichrist...this is the
       same coming of the Lord in which we meet Him in the air.
       So this is the end of Antichrist not his first revealing.
       The mistake [as I see it] is in equating Tribulation with Wrath
       of God.
       Jesus says in the little apocalypses AFTER the tribulation of
       those days....they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds
       with great power and glory and gather His elect....the tribes of
       the earth will mourn etc. He then describes what amounts to the
       wrath of God.
       The same with John, the same with 2.Thess.1&2....definitely
       Antichrist comes first, and with him the most horrendous
       persecution ever...that IS the Great Tribulation.
       [/quote]
       Hello Billy,
       Tribulation and wrath are definitely not the same. Calling
       Daniel's 70th week "The seven years of tribulation/great
       tribulation" is misleading. Controlling the lexicon controls the
       argument, so I am carefull to be precise in my terms. Do you
       think we differ as to when wrath begins? I bet we do. I say it
       begins at the last trump, which I say is the 7th trumpet of
       Revelation. Tell me what you think. Appreciate your input.

       your kidding right.... Christ was crucified in 32 AD, Jerusalem

       that is a full 38 years (oh, look at this,,,the exact amount of
       time Israel spent in the wilderness. Another prophecy

       Yes, Joe we both believe in Jesus Christ. To those that cannot

       Mat 24:29-31 is the 2nd coming of Jesus WITH his elect.(Notice
       that all peoples of the earth see him.).  1 Thes 4:13-18 is the
       Rapture and only the Church those who are alive and those who
       have died in him with see him. A very small crowd.  Notice He
       does not come to  earth but to the clouds and He Comes FOR his
       ELECT.    These are NOT the same.

       [quote]Blade,
       Don't worry about trying to say things the easy way. I
       appreciate you being direct.
       As to the idea of Matt:24 and 1Thes being similar, but not the
       same, I look to Rev 1:4-8. Notice the clouds here too. He comes
       in the clouds AND every eye shall see Him.
       Rev 1:4  John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be
       unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which
       is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his
       throne; 5  And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,
       and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings
       of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our
       sins in his own blood, 6  And hath made us kings and priests
       unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever
       and ever. Amen. 7  Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye
       shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds
       of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8  I am
       Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord,
       which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
       John wrote to the seven churches in Asia, which I believe were
       literal, historical churches, just like churches are today. Look
       what John tells them to look for. It is a coming of Christ with
       clouds where every eye shall see him.  Please keep in mind that
       my main thrust in this discussion is not to convince you of my
       position, but for you to see that I can hold to my beliefs and
       still be a Bible believer. I consider you to be a Bible
       believer.

       Yes, Joe we both believe in Jesus Christ. To those that cannot
       read or have access to HIS WORD, this may be enough. However, we
       ()I think) are in a little different situation. One of us is
       wrong and the consequences will not be good.
       Hope you have a Blessed evening

       A friendly reminder that eschatology doesn’t save.  I’ve ridden
       on some drastic campaigns in my day, but to be sincere, I always
       sit back and think, “hey, Jesus has got His bride and bodies
       backs.”
       Disagreement on finer points of musterion don’t equal spiritual
       consequences.  Some people will have to take some
       butthurt-be-gone and say; “Oh, so that’s what that meant,
       Jesus.”
       I always remind myself that no one expected God to die for them,
       back in the day.  That said, it’s going to be a real nail biter,
       however it all plays out and none of us really know what aspects
       of our understanding will serve up humble pie to us.
       My two cents.
       All Love in Jesus Christ to you, Blade.

       Thank you Sasha...If we were talking about the MAD
       dispensationalist, I would agree. I cannot see any difference in
       Acts 2 where 3000+ Jewsh people became part of the "body of
       Christ" or Acts 10 where the Gentiles began becoming part of the
       Body of Christ. It is not like Gentiles were not saved during
       the 'Age of the Law' or in the early days of ACTs 2 forward.
       Did the Bible tells us that for the first time, the gentiles
       were saved in Acts 10? If it did, I missed it.
       However, this disagreement will not affect Salvation. We all
       (here) are Brothers in Christ.
       However, Post-rapture and Amellinnialism go hand in hand. Both
       remove major parts of the OT and NEW Testament (Gen 12 through
       Acts 2 then Rev 1 through REV 17.) in most cases 3/4 of the
       Bible is thrown out. Unlike the above where there is a simple
       disagreement on when the "Body of Christ" actually started, the
       Post and Amillennialism theologies seem to be disregarding the
       WORD of GOD. In both cases, there can be no Millennium. There is
       no marriage supper, there is no Bema Judgment seat and there is
       no sheep and goat judgments to name a few. For when God comes to
       earth for us, we have to come right back down.  And is as John
       14:3 states, How can we (his Church) be with him at all times
       and everywhere he is, if we are still on earth being persecuted
       and killed?
       I understand everyone is entitled to their opinion and boy am I
       opinionated lol..  However, one of us in any opposing
       conversation will be wrong and it may (is up to Jesus) have dire
       consequences.
       In my case, If I am wrong as a Pre-trib rapturist, then I will
       die (one way or the other) in Christ and nothing is lost as My
       soul will still go to heaven.
       It is said in the Bible, that after the Pre-trib Rapture, the
       greatest revival the world has ever known will be during
       Daniel's 70th week. This will include those who received the
       Gospel by the 144,000, resulting in multitudes, tribes and
       nations converting including the 1/3 (remnant )  Jewish people
       who will convert to Jesus at the Abomination of Desolate.
       Those left behind will know exactly what happened and WHY! They
       too will instantly be converted, and will have to die during
       Daniel's 70th week to PROVE their new beliefs.
       Joe and I are just one of many examples of the differences in
       the Biblical world. This Forum has to present the Best arguments
       (from all sides) that it can to educate people about Jesus
       Christ and His Gospel and give them a reasonable guideline to
       make decisions on.
       Is this what GOD wants us to DO?
       I think so... so much for the penny I offer!
       Hope you have a Blessed day, Sasha, my sister in Christ.

       I’ll take your Penny and hold on to it!  Well said!!!!
       I mostly keep my mouth shut, because I can get quite
       rambunctious.
       I’ll reveal this about my personal view.  I’m cookoo for Israel
       and see any prophecy void of the Israel of landscape and blood
       origin as complex mental gymnastics that go past the natural
       flow of scripture.
       But, that’s my .05 cents on the matter.
