Why I believe the Rapture of the Church
will take place between December 25, 2013,
and January 4, 2014
The Lord has been giving me pieces to a puzzle for the last 13 years, leading me to the date for the firstfruits Rapture of the Church. The puzzle ends between December 25, 2013, and January 4, 2014. I very strongly believe that the Rapture will take place on January 3/4, 2014. However, it is possible that the puzzle can end as early as December 25, 2013.
I think it best to heed Paul’s admonition.
Titus 3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
Tied to that of course is the “Sacred Name Movement”, which we have also heard from these same people. They were already present in Paul’s day and he warned about them.
Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
Whose name do we call out to when we want to be saved?
Matt. 1:21. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Like Genesis?
and commandments of men
Like the ones in the Torah?
I would guess Israeli time.shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiachZulu + 2 hours
If you feel the need to ask those questions it would seem no amount of explanation would suffice.
Whatever floats your boat. You can keep your higher criticism and evolutionism, since you apparently can't believe in chrstianity without tearing the Bible to shreds.
Evolutionism??? Now wherever did you get the notion that I even remotely believe in evolutionism? Or are you simply trying to inject a straw man to somehow divert?
LOL The Vatican has a telescope on top of Mt Graham (SE Arizona) and they call the lens Lucifer.
Up until a few hundred years ago, the word rapture meant the kidnap/seizure and rape of a woman. Look it up, the history of words.
It all means the same: a sudden snatching away. The particular word that is used is irrelevant as long as the intent and meaning of what the Author wrote remains the same.
I like cheese.
Yehova’s wrath comes after the 7th trump; all that precedes is prophecy of the results and consequences of men’s and Satan’s wrath.
Your understanding of the Revelation is essentially non-existent.
John 3:16 does not say that the world will be saved.
I have posted the scriptures in this thread numerous times, but you apparently choose not to read them; that is not something that I have the power to rectify.
Thank you for your judgment.
Since you refuse to read the verses I recommended, let me help you find them.
Rev 6:12-17
(12) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
(13) And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
(14) And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
(15) And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
(16) And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
(17) For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Please note, this is a Scriptural reference to the opening of the 6th Seal Judgment. The last 2 verses identify the source of the wrath and the Great Day of the Lord. It isn’t that difficult to grasp. Even unbelievers will understand it intuitively.
Still here! Jan 4 has come and gone.
You are not understanding the verses on the 6th seal.
It’s all about the effects of a nuclear attack. The darkening of the sun is particulate matter suspended in the air near ground zero, which I suspect would be Jerusalem. Stars falling like trees casting their leaves would likely be an attack with some smaller missiles from a sub.
The 6th seal as a whole is the big attack on Jerusalem.
The great men hiding in their dens in the rocks is like our government’s setup in the mountains near Denver. The end of the 6th seal is the period just before God’s wrath. Its when the resurrection is about to take place. “Wise virgins” will understand exactly what is happening, “foolish virgins” will be in full panic mode.
Do you just make this stuff up as you go?
What if the rapture came, and nobody left. Just sayin’.
That’s one interpretation, but my impression in comparison to the 6th Bowl Judgment is that this is definitively an act of Divine Judgment, with effect on a far grander scale than all nuclear devices being launched simultaneously, by several orders of magnitude.
Seismic activity is more severe in areas distant from bedrock. The best place to build for seismic protection is on bedrock.
Indubitably, if a worldwide series of seismic events, on the scale to move every mountain and island from their place, were to happen with little warning, those with more resources would seek shelter in the rocks and their dens within mountains. The Common sense makes perfectly good sense.
FWIW, there have been other astute interpretations of stars falling to earth, including fallen angels being thrown out of heaven, or descending to Earth, or simply a worldwide observable meteor shower.
Think in terms of the Rocky mountains being formed, or the Grand Tetons being formed in an afternoon. Far more power and energy released than a large number of thermonuclear devices being launched.
The 6th seal has nothing to do with the bowl judgments.
The bowls are after the resurrection, when God’s wrath is poured out on those that worshiped the beast.
The seals 1-6 are when God’s elect are still on Earth and everything is supposedly ‘normal.’ The 7th seal introduces modern warfare directed at Jerusalem.
Knock knock
Who is it?
It’s Jesus. You need to let me in.
Why should I let you in?
So I can save you.
Save me from what?
From what I’m going to do to you if you don’t let me in.
