God bless you all!!! We were chosen by Him to be alive right now for a reason. Let’s embrace it and hold our heads high into these seemingly uncertain times.
Dear Cherokee, I can almost hear HIM saying that. Wow! Sweet cold chills up and down my spine from reading your comment. THANK YOU! May He bless you and your loved ones for thousands of generations.
Create things out of nothing, just to clarify. Man can create things as well, we just need to start with something first. God creates things, and starts with nothing.
"sit at my right hand while I make all your enemies your footstool" is God's favorite Bible verse. There's more times in the Bible than any other verse.
He is of course speaking to Jesus.
God has a history of letting things get really bad and in an impossible situation and then turning it around where he gets all the glory.
There is no rapture. The only people that are swept away are the wicked just like in the days of noah..
Not sure I agree about the harpazo, thing though. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 clearly someone is caught up, raptured, taken by force, plucked away, or something of that nature.
You're trying to smuggle your presuppositions into that verse and the context.
If you didn't already have a tradition of thinking you were going to be raptured you would have never come to that conclusion from reading that verse alone especially with the totality of scripture...
The eschatology of rapture which is called "premillennial dispensationalism" wasn't even remotely a common Christian position until the publication of the first Scofield reference Bible which was the first Bible that had notes explaining eschatology.
When the wheat and the chaff is separated by fire what is that process look like? The chaff Burns while the wheat remains.
I am not well enough versed in eschatology to defend what I have been taught, maybe I need to do some homework. Out of curiosity where does that put your eschatological beliefs? Amillennialism?
And the millenial reign of Christ? And the tribulation like the world has never seen, and will never see again? Figurative? The judgements in revelation? All figurative?
Jesus is reigning now. The gospel is spreading to every part of the earth and the kingdom is growing. The world is being restored. Life spans are increasing while toiling the Earth is decreasing. You have a device in your pocket that can translate the gospel to nay language and send it anywhere in the world almost instantly. Christianity is growing and the awakening is going to turn the entire world to Christ.
There was a massive tribulation when Rome (7 heads 7 horns was Rome that had seven hills with 7 rulers) destroyed Jerusalem and killed everyone there. The streets were running with blood and people were eating each other. The harlot was judged. You have to ignore history to miss that.
Amen God bless u fren. Keep being the light. Keep praying. We are in this together. I am here if u ever need prayer or a friend to talk to. Much love

It exhilarating to be alive to witness history.
God teaching us a lesson in patience… waiting lord… your timing is perfect… mans timing not so much… hold the line and pray for our patriots!
Providence is a real thing.
"I win and create things....its what I do.."....God

No clarification was needed it was a play on the "I drink and I know things" meme. But hey, Im sure God knows what I meant.
Blessings.
Viva Cristo Rey!
Claro!
Amen. Wild time to be alive!
AMEN! Just turn to Him...👆🙏

Only the wicked will be swept away.

Post millennialism.
It's what the church traditionally believed.
Essentially the destruction language in Revelation was about the localized judgment and destruction of Jerusalem that happened in 70 AD
"This generation shall not pass till all these things happen"
And it did.
It is a very interesting idea and it certainly requires more study on my part.

The simplest book on the subject that ties in all the history
Another great book on what Jesus meant my returning Jesus was not being figurative when He said "This generation shall not pass till all these things take place"
