Yup. He is the power and prince of this earth. Few understand or realize that. We have a very good pastor at our church, but sadly last night I simply could not get him to understand that the Day of the Lord is the coming tribulation and that the Valley of Megiddo is Armageddon and is coming soon. They are all, as Paul says, on milk and not on the meat of the word. Sad. They simply think everything is good and fine. They do not see the days we are in and what is coming. I am a fish out of water. I am one of THOSE prophesy nuts. What is wrong with him. I hear it all. Oh, well, I read the Book, and that is what the Book says.
Yep. For me it just kind of ran its course. I used to be pre-trib, btw. I’m now “mid-trib”, AKA “post-trib, pre-wrath.”
I believe the first 3.5 years is the great tribulation against the saints and the reign of the best and then the rapture, (Rev 7) and then the 3.5 years of “wrath of god”.
But I’m not married to it. ;)
