Zephaniah Chapters 1-3 describes what is currently happening and what will in prophecy happen to Evil and Complacent and what will happen with God’s remnant. Yes, this was during Old Testament times and Zephaniah was a minor prophet, but this s about end times and we are in the beginning of them.

In the end the antichrist will make war with the saints and overcome them. There will be a great falling away. Aka death of believers and except Christ shorten those days no flesh would escape death! Q does not save the world and restor the republic. If this is biblical then we must look at the word for the answers. Pre tribulation rapture is a false docterine. We will suffer persecution and martyrdom at the hands and order of the antichrist. Then Jesus returns. As he is returning the dead in Christ shall rise in a new incorruptible body just as Christ had post grave. Then the rest of us who are alive and remain will be caught up (this phrase has been misinterpreted so badly over the last 500 years) (caught up means to take corruptible and put on in corruptible. It means that we will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye just as John was on the isle of Patmos and Enoch and Saul) (it dosnt mean we go float around in the sky it means we are resurrected in front of the world for them to witness) and that army of saints lead by Jesus will destroy (pour out the wrath of God) all who denied the name of Jesus! It’s quite simple. The flesh deminsional curse that was applied in the garden when Adam sinned will be removed and eyes will truly be opened. This is the ONLY WAY it can be biblical.
These are also ALL BiBLICAL for end times
Acts 2:17. “’In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
Joel 2:28 “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
Mark 16:18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
Amen
Revelation 3:10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.
Malachi 3:17 “ On the day when I act,” says the LORD Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him.
Genesis 18:20-32Then the Lord said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, 21 I will go down to see whether they have done altogether[a] according to the outcry that has come to me. And if not, I will know.”
Abraham Intercedes for Sodom
22 So the men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord. 23 Then Abraham drew near and said, “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city. Will you then sweep away the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing, to put the righteous to death with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?” 26 And the Lord said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
27 Abraham answered and said, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. 28 Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking. Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” And he said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.” 29 Again he spoke to him and said, “Suppose forty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of forty I will not do it.” 30 Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there.” He answered, “I will not do it, if I find thirty there.” 31 He said, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it.” 32 Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.”
We will be spared from the wrath of God but we are not spared from the persecution of the Anti christ. We will be killed. The anti christ will make war with the saints and overcome them and that great falling away is 10 days. Revelation chapter 2
Many will be persecuted and martyred, yet those whom God chooses for particular jobs will he protected and spared
Rev 3:10 this happens at the hour he returns. The dead rise first, then we who are alive and remain are caught up, then we, with Christ Jesus, destroy all the earth and pour out the wrath of god. Satan is bound in hell for 1000 years and we rule the earth judging everything by the word of God.
Read the other scriptures I just shared, there is much more that will happen
Before that are the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on God’s people when He grants the powers of healing, prophesying, etc; see my earlier today post.
This happened on the day of Pentecost
Context is so important to understanding the word of God And ye must be born again. Without the Holy Spirit you will never get it.
Pre tribulation rapture is a false docterine.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Holy Spirit sent unto the world. To gather the church. And to restrain the antiChrist
2 Thessalonians 2:7 KJV For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Taken out of the way, with the church He has gathered
1 Thessalonians 4:17 KJV Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Meeting in the air, not on Earth. Our Lord does not return until after the tribulation.
Revelation 6:2 KJV And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
First seal opened, antiChrist goes forth to conquer
1 Thessalonians 5:9 KJV For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ
2nd, 3rd and 4th seals release death, famine and hell. God's Wrath.
Revelation 1:10 KJV I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
John, taken out of his body and placed into the Day of the Lord, heard behind Him (in the past) a great voice
1 Thessalonians 4:16 KJV For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first
Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Come up hither. Before any seals are broken.
We would need to sit dow so I can show you how all of those scriptures are taken out of context and out of order. The rapture happens after the antichrist has declaimed himself Christ and has declared war on the saints. He cannot declare war on the elect if they are already raptured. Then once we are gathered with Christ we come with him to the earth in the span of one hour to destroy every wicked thing upon the face of the earth. Then it’s a 1000years of christens reign then gig and Magog and then the new jaruselem. There is no third coming of Christ. C.I. Scofeild was a heretic!

These are tribulation saints, those who took not the mark and were beheaded for the Word of God. Church age saints leave before all this.
Then once we are gathered with Christ we come with him to the earth in the span of one hour to destroy every wicked thing upon the face of the earth
Christ takes the Church, before the tribulation, to the Marriage of the Lamb. Tribulation saints are invited to the supper but are not of the bride. After this we return with Christ, at Armageddon.
There is no third coming of Christ. C.I. Scofeild was a heretic!
After all these years of being confused, this is the year that I finally accepted dispensationalism. Now it all makes perfect sense. I haven't gotten into Scofield yet but I did read all of Clarence Larkin's book. It's not heresy, it's the truth. Adam was made innocent, from the time of breathing in life through his nostrils to the eating of the forbidden fruit, age of innocence, no one convicted of sin, life eternal built in. After the forbidden fruit, a total different dispensation, the age of Consciousness.
One of my biggest previous issues was not realizing that the sole purpose of the tribulation/wrath is to restore the nation of Israel. The Old Testament is full of references to this, but you miss them if you don't separate dispensations. Unbelieving gentiles will suffer the tribs but the purpose, at Armageddon, is Christ leading Israel back into their Earthly Kingdom.
Knowing this has harmonized the Bible.
How can they be tribulation saints without being persecuted or another word for persecution, tribulated without going through the tribulation? It does not make sense. Darby was wrong bro.
And we’re beheaded. Context bro. They will be killed only a few will be spared that are still alive and remain!
It is a post tribulation ( falling away, persecution of the saints by the antichrist) pre Gods wrath rapture that happens in the twinkling of the eye. Then in one hour we along with Christ destroy the enemy with a sword and with fire! Then Satan is bound in hell for a thousand years!
