>>>You are conflating trials and troubles and tribulations with The Great Tribulation, which is God’s period of judgment on this world.>>>
And you are conflating trials and tribulations with being burned alive like Jan Huss was. Sorry...you don’t get much more “trial and tribulation” then that. Or John the Baptist losing his head. Or Christians today being burned alive. You think that’s a “trial and tribulation”......
Yeah....good luck with that one. Fact is, New Covenant Theology is new....and there’s an old saying.....what’s new is seldom true and what’s true is seldom new. No Protestant Reformer ever believed in Pretrib rapture or new covenant theology. That’s why they used to keep Sunday as the Lord’s day.....the whole day. And God honored that. New Covenant theology has tossed the holy out....both Sunday and the Sabbath. And now it’s the Lord’s hour then off to the races.
But that will change as Sunday is being exalted and protected more and more. And evangelicals are reaching across the gulf to clasp hands with Rome again. And when the fireworks really start.....when the plane is going down..everybody gets religious.
And the King of the South...symbolic for Secularism...as in Egypt....which rules today....will be defeated by the King of the North...Babylon....a counterfeit religion....headed by Rome. And all the while you are looking at Israel which lost her relevance when Jesus cursed the fig tree and took the Kingdom from her.
Now anyone who calls upon the Lord Jesus is “Israel”...spiritual Israel...so that all those prophecies now apply to Spiritual Israel and Spiritual Israel in Revelation is a “remnant” who keep the commandments of God and that includes all 10....the Sabbath. John looked up and saw the tabernacle of the testimony. The Ten commandments. But Evangelicals and new covenant theology don’t believe in God’s law when it comes to the Sabbath...they are under grace. But bring up abortion and homosexuality and suddenly...God has laws again.
Your weak amateurish theology is so easy to pick apart...because what’s new is seldom true and what’s true is seldom new.
The fireworks are starting soon....and Rome bides her time. Her wound is healed. And new covenant pretrib rapture folks will unite with her...and Sunday is the common bond.
Currently about 2.5 billion Christians in this world right now. The end is coming soon and my guess is that the majority will receive the Mark of the Beast, and be happy about it. They will follow Rome (the Antichrist power) to their eternal graves, believing Satan’s many lies (PTR, OSAS, you don’t have to keep God’s commandments or you can’t, literal Israel, etc...).
It has always been about obedience to God by following His commandments to show your love for Him, and loyalty to Him (that is the whole duty of man). I wonder what will be going through their minds (people who have heard the truth but still refuse to listen) when they have to make the choice of following God’s commandments and the keeping of the 7th day Sabbath, and losing everything worldly (or death), or following Rome, after they have heard it over and over again from people like us? Probably feelings of terror. Will they make the right decision? Or, will they follow the crowd of Commandment Breakers, waiting for the non-existent PTR, take the Mark of the Beast and be forever lost as they enter the plagues and prepare to meet their Creator?
