      Simple really Paul said that the COMING of Jesus Christ and the RESURRECTION of Gods Children precedes the Harpazo we call the rapture!
      The COMING of Jesus and the RESURRECTION of the Dead PRECEDES the harpazo!
      Blessed and Holy are all that Partake in the First Resurrection is what Jesus said to all of the Churches!
      Paul himself said that he attained to be in the RESURRECTION!

    I used to hold a post tribulation view, but now I believe in a pretribulation. Revelation 3:10 was key for me and the Lord corrected my theology. However, I do believe there will be and is already a synogogue of Satan, hiding in Israel, preparing to deceive the world after the rapture. They are mentioned in the previous verse Revelation 3:9. Not to focus on this, but I'm curious if anyone else has any insight on this.

      @Shane Guillory lol, it actually says "kept out of the TIME OF, or The period of Time of Testing..
      Jesus said to pray we are found worthy to escape all these things (that's coming to everyone who dwells on the earth). Luke 21:35-36
      It seems the Church of Philadelphia is found worthy to escape OUT OF THE TIME of the testing.
      It also seems the 24 elders and the 4 beasts were found worthy to escape, too.

    • @randsollie7921
      @randsollie7921 3 роки тому

      @Shane Guillory "to flee away and stand before the Son of Man..."
      The idea is to be found worthy: the power needed to flee away from all these things and stand in front of the Son of Man.
      The idea is NOT to have strength to ENDURE these things THEN stand before the Son of Man, but to have what is needed to FLEE AWAY FROM THESE THINGS and stand before the Son of Man INSTEAD.
      Because it is coming ON ALL WHO DWELL ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. FLEE, and Stand before the Son of Man so that it doesn't come on you.

    • @randsollie7921
      @randsollie7921 3 роки тому +1

      @Shane Guillory wow, you really don't know the Gospel. We are not worthy of the Kingdom because of OUR TRIBULATION. Read those verses again. It our FAITH in Christ that makes us worthy, the same theme that Paul preaches in all his epistles. It's also our faith in Christ that makes the world want to persecute us. But in 2 Thessalonians 1:6, who is GOD GOING TO POUR OUT TRIBULATION ON? US? or THEM?

    • @randsollie7921
      @randsollie7921 3 роки тому +1

      @Shane Guillory Actually, that would be "escape to the mountains..." but He says to "stand before the Son of Man. "
      But you're right in that THE tribulation is for Israel (Daniel 9:24), not for the Church.

    • @randsollie7921

      @Shane Guillory who was "broken off of the olive tree" and WHY were they broken off? Because of unbelief.
      IN CHRIST we are all the same. IN CHRIST. But not everyone is IN CHRIST. Those who were broken off are NOT IN CHRIST so they are not the same as us who ARE IN CHRIST.
      How is this different than what Paul teaches?

    John 14
    “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
    -----------this says nothing about a rapture, lets take this in context of what is going on here, Jesus is talking directly to his disciples, prior to this chapter Jeusus is telling his disciples about his death, they really do not understand what he is saying , John 13 36“Lord, where are You going?” Simon Peter asked.Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now, but you will follow later.”..so he is telling his disciples they will follow him later meaning they to will die, and when they do, he will bring them to heaven wear he has prepared a place for them. We know for a fact the disciples were not raptured, so therefore this can not be about a promise of a rapture, as he was talking directly to the disciples. He promises them they will have a place in heaven when they die. He talks about how they know the way, if it was a rapture they certainly would not know the way, he later on tells them the way. John 145“Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.” so the way to wear Jesus is going to know Jesus.
    Another very important element to consider is that Peter was told by Jesus he was going to die, Peter knew in his lifetime he was going to die for Christ NOT be raptured, so no he was not waiting for a secret rapture .John 21-19 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And after He had said this, He told him, “Follow Me.”

      Know this that a Righteous Democratic Believer is a Oxymoron Jeremiah 7 defines why, the abortionist idolators and oppressors who repent not don't have their prayers heard of by God nor there intercessors prayers are heard of by God, Jeremiah 7:1-16.
      These are the five foolish virgin brides who have no oil and quench the Holy Ghost by not following the supreme command of love in Mark 12:29-31.
      On Purim 2020 the Lord showed me his Prophet that the Rapture was around the corner we will no longer be lead by the spirit, but the manifestation of the Son's of God Romans 8, Eliakim Isaiah 22:20 is upon the horizon.

    context here in the whole chapter he is talking about the resurrection of the dead, and we know that happens on the last day, John 6 -40 is just one of many scriptures that speak of the resurrection being the last day, there are non that I can find speaking of the resurrection prior to that. He is telling the church what will happen if you are still alive when Jesus returns, since it was unclear, at first he was only talking about those dead, and notice they get there glorified bodies before those that are alive. MEaning that the church that has died for christ all through out history have not yet come to life, Revelation 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
    So we see the pre tib theory says that the church all are resurrected at the rapture prior to the tribulation, yet we have scripture here saying they are still in heaven in soul form not in resurrected bodies. Notice says who these souls are “””Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and”” it cleary means everyone in history who have been killed for Jesus is there, ANd also those coming out of tribulation. that died for Christ So we are given two distinct time periods for these people’s death. SO how is that the whole church is resurrected and at the wedding feast during the tribulation if we have the church in heaven not resurrected Yet??

    • @randsollie7921
      @randsollie7921 3 роки тому

      lol, the Church isn't "resurrected from the dead." The Church is not dead. The Church is the First BORN FROM THE DEAD. Colossians 1:18
      The resurrection at the last day is talking about the 2nd resurrection of the dead from Revelation 20:5. This is the only resurrection the Jews know about, and it's from Daniel 12:2. It's also the only resurrection that has both good and bad servants who will be judged by their works. This is after the millennium. This is not the rapture.
      The 1st resurrection of the dead (Revelation 20:4) is only those who came out of the tribulation. This is also not the rapture.
      Thru baptism, we have already been crucified, buried, and risen from the dead with Christ. But that is not the rapture either.

      *All* of the 7 year tribulation is God pouring out His wrath and the Church isn't appointed to God's wrath. We'll miss all of it, thank God!
      Starting in Revelation 6:1, it's the Lamb of God, Jesus, God the Son, Who opens the first seal. So all the judgements are coming from God. The second 3 1/2 years is known as the "Great Tribulation" because the judgements are so intense.

    According to 1 Thessalonians 4:16, the dead in Christ rise first. The change of living believers cannot happen before all who will die in Christ has died. Revelation 14:13 refers to "the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth". According to Revelation 14:13 there are still people dying in Christ and the word henceforth means future.

    Only thing I don’t agree with is the cd 💿 “The Rapture of “ALL CHRISTIANS” and according to Revelation 19:9 that’s not true. Not all Christians are going in the “rapture” no more than not ALL of the parable of the 10 Virgins went to the wedding to meet the Bridegroom in Matt.25. He ALWAYS has a TRUE remnant. There WILL be left behind Christian’s...the Great Tribulation Saints from the imminent “rapture” that’s why there’ll be a global martyrdom for Jesus the Christ coming soon. I also believe the “hour of temptation” will be the worst of the Great Tribulation cause I truly believe we’re in the Great Tribulation NOW and in Rev.3:10 says only His faithful true Remnant will be “caught up” and also says “ Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:36 Not “every” Christian Believer is “Watching!” “ And he says to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those having been INVITED to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb.'" And he says to me, "These are the true words of God." Rev.19:9 Those left behind we will see at the “Second Coming” Matt.24 when we return to the new earth 🌍 WITH Jesus the Christ Zech.14:1-5 providing they don’t take the mark of the beast RFID chip let alone the evil vax! We’re a lot further along in Bible prophecy than MANY Christian Believers think! The Antichrist BEEN here and came several years ago “revealed” via the Holy Spirit to those truly connected to Him! The mark of the beast RFID chip came to the US in Wisconsin in 2017 at a company obligating there employees to put it in their hand. Also Ellon Technologies are right now creating a chip to put in our brain 🧠 to read our thoughts hence the “forehead!” So we’re definitely living in the book 📖 of Revelation in the last of the last days and time to BE “rapture” ready repent from sin! Acts 3:19 Acts 5:32 Dont be deceived! Godspeed and God bless! ❤️💯😇💫
