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.

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.

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.

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.
Unbelievers that repent during the tribulation. If you notice, it is a faith and works based salvation during this dispensation. Don't take the mark, which does not apply to church age saints, we are sealed unto the day of redemption and cannot lose our salvation.
I never studied darby.
Do not take the mark. The saints won’t take it because they will give their lives. I saint will deny Christ. They will be be headed. The martyr in heaven will ask God How long until you avenge our blood. God will say, be patient. Many more must be killed befor I send my son back to get the rest. There will be a few who are alive and remain. This pretrib rapture docterine has taught people to not be ready to endure until the end and so many self professed Christian’s will lift up to take the Mark. They will be caught unawares because their pastor taught them that it’s not the antichrist because there has not been a “secret rapture” It is Gnosticism dispensationalism and paganism all wrapped up in a bow. Get a Bible that has no footnotes or commentary and study it in pure context. I recommend a book called Manners and Customs of Bible times. This will help in understanding the context and manner in which the writer is trying to tell his story. So many have taught revelation as if there is secret meanings and junk there. It’s not that way. God had John write the book so that we would understand it. Take every preconceived notion’s you have ever had and put them to the side. Every thing any preacher has ever taught you about end times and throw it away! You will see that you have been lied to and that many false prophets and uneducated preachers have gained much wealth and influence by preaching what is popular. They will seek feel good sermons having itching ears. The truth is hard to swallow but once you do the word of God comes alive and everything in it starts fitting like a glove. The whole world has been deceived. Well actually pre trib is not popular outside of western country. Also there is no writings anywhere from any preachers that preached this doctrine prior to the 1800’s Jon Nelson Darby and CI Scofeild got this teaching from a 14 year old girl who when running a bad fever had a vision that God gave her a new teaching. It is false. Gnosticism
And we’re beheaded. Context bro. They will be killed only a few will be spared that are still alive and remain!
Many will hide. The days will be shortened also, for the elect's sake.
It’s a span of about 75 days the first 10 will be mass murder of Christian’s, globally!
