Pretrib Rapture Diehards

Since the 1970's stunning new data has been surfacing about the pretribulation rapture's long-covered-up beginnings in the 1800's. In recent years several persons associated with Dallas Theological Seminary (which had long been pretribized) have reportedly gone to Britain to check on my research sources and then write books opposing my claims. In 1990 an Ohio pastor told me that Dr. _____ _____, the most qualified DTS prof, traveled there and came back and wrote nothing! The pastor added that he and some others had a good laugh. But change was coming. In 1993 Chuck Swindoll, who became DTS president after John Walvoord, stated: "I'm not sure we're going to make dispensationalism [the chief attraction of which is a pretrib rapture] a part of our marquee as we talk about our school." When asked if the word "dispensationalism" would disappear, he answered: "It may and perhaps it should" ("Christianity Today," Oct. 25, 1993)! But a few diehards (with the stubbornness of Iraqi insurgents and New Orleans looters) keep on milking their cash cow while continuing to cover up and twist the following historical facts about their latter-day, cult-like belief:

Funny, there are numerous articles in the MSM calling for a “new world order.”

They’re not talking about ordering from a restaurant menu.

Your hubris knows no bounds.

Funny, there are numerous articles in the MSM calling for a “new world order.”

Funny, there is no "gospel according to the MSM" in my Bible. I don't use the "MSM" to help me interpret the Bible. But thank you for pointing out the fundamental problem with futurism.

And a curious evasiveness. I asked a simple question:

Fair enough. Who else have you read from the non-dispensational world?

And you come back with a charge of hubris.

I point out your faulty claim:

The signs of a near-future world oligarchy are blinding.

And you come back with a charge of hubris.

I point out that “most Bible scholars” don’t believe this nonsense, and you come back with a charge of hubris.

The sociological responses are facinating.

Not going to argue with you. you are correct, I am incorrect.

Peace to you.

Ezekiel 13 whole chapter.

???

Did you read the whole chapter?

Paul says...ICorinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples (examples): and they are written for our admonition, (warning), upon whom the ends of the world (age) are come.

Now Paul did not say what was to be written but what had already been written happened unto them. Paul identifies who the them are that was already written about, starting in verse 1 and continues to identify who the them are up to verse 10.

This thread is about what? You think that the Heavenly Father did not know what HIS people would be taught as the end of the flesh age draws to a close? Ezekiel is not the only holy prophet elected to pen what happened to them as our warning as to what would be again.
