My urge is to label is not to label but to know, if your saved but did not make the rapture, why not? Those that are here after the rapture have no desire to know God, many say that when the restrainer is removed that is when it will hit the fan so to say is the restrainer the Holy Spirit or the Church? God sent the Holy Spirit empower the church and to seal them.

As I have asked and will still ask what are the tribulation saints? They are not the bride she is in heaven for the marriage. They are not the church because the church is the bride. They are not the new Jerusalem because the new Jerusalem is the is the bride who is made up of the living stones the saints.

So who and what are they? Please tell me where do they fit in since they are not the Bride they are not the New Jerusalem.

I gave you reasonable answers to those questions.

You answered none of mine.

That’s a pretty huge non-sequitur, to me.

Seems like you arbitrarily have decided that they are not part of The Bride.

Is it your fantasy that when God says . . .

THOSE WHO CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED . . .

THAT THOSE . . . who are thusly saved . . . at whatever point you arbitrarily decide the cutoff point is . . . miss out on being any part of THE BRIDE?

And how do you support THAT in Scripture?

How is it that you have arrived at the fantasy that ALMIGHTY GOD does

NOT

have the power nor authority to declare every SAVED person

REGARDLESS OF SEQUENCE OR TIMING OF THEIR BEING SAVED

AS PART OF THE BRIDE?

And when did ALMIGHTY GOD invite you to limit HIS options in the matter?

They are not the NEW JERUSALEM?

Uhhhhh . . . . OOOOOOOOOK . . .

They are not New Chicago either.
They are not Disney World either.
They are not a Mack Truck either.
They are not a Humvee either.
They are not a 747 either.
They are not an ocean tanker either.
They are not a cruise ship either.

Therefore?
