1 in every 30 verses of the New Testament reference the return of Jesus Christ. He's at the door. JESUS COMING FOR HIS CHURCH a.k.a.
The Rapture has been Bible doctrine since at least A.D. 51 and is referenced many times, Chiefly in the Bible book of 1st Thessalonians. LET ME JUST BRIEFLY SLAM YOUR POST OF THE LUTHERAN PASTOR, WHICH APPARENTLY YOU DIDN'T WATCH OR ARE TOO IGNORANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ON If you actually watch the Lutheran pastor, you would be laughing at what he said all along. What a buffoon.
He preaches out of C.S. Lewis books, Narnia books .. which have nothing to do with Revelation. The Lutheran pastor gives stories and talks but barely mentions the Bible. He stands there in his dress in front of about 10 or 15 people but references another pastor that has about 14,000 members.
The Lutheran pastor talks about how "love" is part of the Tribulation period. This Lutheran pastor is a joke. Any 3rd grade educated child can read Revelation and recognize Tribulation is Judgement.
J. Vernon McGee Revelation Chapter 15 "Don't tell me that the church can be purified during the great tribulation. The purpose of the great tribulation is judgement.
It's to give Satan his final opportunity. And God is going to remove his church. Because of the fact of his marvelous infinite grace.
If you're willing to have it then you can escape and believe me it is no blessed hope looking for the 7 bowls of wrath! No, we are looking for that blessed hope and that glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. If we get in love with Him we will get our minds off of these things as being terrifying.
That is, We don't have to say: "oh I don't want to study the book of revelation It reveals all those terrible things and I'd like to keep my head in the sand like an Ostrich has more sense to do. And therefore, I'd rather not hear about it. My friend, you're not going through it if you've trusted Christ.
But you need to know what the others will have to do that might make you a zealous witness for Christ today. That's the reason we're getting the word out today. Let me just briefly slam the Lutheran Pastor's understanding of The Rapture of the church by giving actual info from the Bible.
Biblical evidence shows the Church will be bodily in heaven before the Tribulation begins. 1. The 24 elders are seated and crowned before the tribulation events are witnessed by John.
2. The "TRIBULATION" beheaded martyrs are only "souls" in heaven under the thrown. They obviously missed the rapture.
They are seen and heard by John, after he see's the 24 elders in heaven. 3. The tribulation beheaded martyrs are the only one's brought to life at the end of the tribulation period.
Nobody else but them and nobody else for 1000 years. (Revelation chapter 20) 4. The "Great Multitude" is also seen by John in heaven.
They come out of the tribulation. They are both Jews and Gentiles. This group doesn't include anyone from the church age.
This group also missed the rapture and died during the tribulation period. 5. There's a great difference from "going up" to meet the Lord in the air, and The Lord, "coming down" to earth at the end of the tribulation period.
Seriously people.. you have little time before the Tribulation period begins. I'm serious when I say, the AntiChrist and False Prophet are ready to take over. It's clear who they are and all signs Biblical and otherwise point to the Tribulation beginning very soon.
Jesus is God Himself and came as a man to save us. If you put your faith in Him, He will save you. If you fail to take the pardon then God can do nothing for you.
You'll die in your sins and go to hell. Romans 10:9-13 explains how to be saved.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
