I personally believe that we will be ruptured during the tribulations. I was a pre-rapture until I I was study Daniel 12. Our Lord I believe isn't just going to snatch people out of there cars while driving or pilots flying a plan. If he did then that would make him a reckless God. I think we will be locked down or limited mobility. In Daniel 12 it talks about a time of great distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time. Then it goes on to say that, your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. Then this is the game changer for me, it says many of tho…
Yes, but my point is when we will be resurrect. In Daniel 12, he mentions the time of distress, and then the bodies be resurrect from the grave. So I am interpreting it that during the 4 horsemanship, unleashing their destruction is the time of the dead being resurrect. I maybe interpreting it wrong, but that is what I am currently interpreting.
* Double portion - is biblically a thoroughly Jewish concept. In the Millennium, Israel will possess a double portion of blessings [Isa 61:7 NASB20] 7 “Instead of your shame [you will have a] double [portion,] And [instead of] humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double [portion] in their land, Everlasting joy will be theirs”. However, so too, she receives a double portion of judgement in Revelation .. [Rev 18:6 NASB20] 6 "Pay her (Babylon) back even as she has paid, and give back [to her] double according to her deeds; in the cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her”.
Jerusalem is Revelation's Babylon ! Whilst all the cities of the nations are ultra Babylon-LIKE (harlots), Revelation itself reveals that it’s Babylon is Jerusalem (Mother of Harlots).
* The great city - Ch 16:19, 17:18 & 18:10, 16, 18, 19, 21 call Babylon "the great city", and we need to take this literally, it is a city …. A significant reference to "the great city" is mentioned in Rev is Rev 11:8 - "And their (2 witnesses) dead bodies [will lie] on the street of THE GREAT CITY which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified." ... This is Jerusalem !! Take note: that Jerusalem is equated to Sodom (immorality) and Egypt (idolatory) AT T…
I believe Matt 24 is directed at Israel during the 70th week. Also believe the parables of the virgins, the talents, and others are descriptive of post rapture salvation that appears to be consistent with those believers being commanded to “keep” their clothes with them: maintain salvation by gracethrufaith via strict behavioral measures, as the Jews were required to do the other 483years. These parables are so inconsistent with OSAS as to be unequivocal with respect to whom they are addressed. We’re still in no man’s land as far as the upcoming election is concerned, and I can’t say for sure at this point that “peace has fled” this country. We’ll know soon enough.
Wonderful, Pete!! Personally, I had a moment at the end of 2019 where everything in the "Christian" world started falling apart (Hillsong leader saying he wasn't a Christian anymore, the Purity Movement pastor saying he was wrong to promote that "harmful" doctrine and he wasn't a Christian anymore, all the Bethel church stuff, etc). At the end of November 2019, I felt VERY urgently that God told me to remove myself from EVERYTHING and just start studying my Bible - whole books at a time, in order for context. I stripped away everything except for studying my Bible and the church we were attending. No podcasts, no commentaries, no devotionals, no Christian books. I was 52 at the time…
Ohhh. Dispensational Truth by Clarence Larkin. It's a shame that I didn't know about this book until this year. I use this book to start my daily Bible study. It is like a commentary on the Bible. Clarence Larkin wrote this before 1920. But he clearly saw that Israel would become a nation. Clarence Larkin created this book with no internet, just personal industrious study. Yet, he was so very prescient about the end times. He was a mechanical engineer and architect. I love his writing style. He makes me delve deeper into the Bible. Yes, it is mindblowing to me as well to quote you!!!
