Gregorian calendar also correct, and most importantly, the extra days added in the astronomical calendar used up to that point. Gregory recognized the issue and corrected not some conspiracy.
The view of the church not being mentioned anymore, so the church must have been raptured out, it just seems so eisegetically added & interpreted, its mind boggling. The entire apocalyptic but poetic book of Revelation is viewed so radically different w/ premill dispensationalism vs correct exegetical eschatology. It Makes so much more sense when understood, that its not written to us & was written before 70 A.D, which the book itself reveals in several texts. All would prob agree that Jesus Christ is glorified & He is the King of Kings & Lord of Lords

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 is a biblical view and 1 Corinthians 15:51-53. The rapture is very clear biblically. I agree with everything with you Hank but completely disagree on your view on the rapture. It is very clear in the scriptures.
The whole rapture doctrine is not found written in plain language in a single verse because it’s a mystery of God, and he hides mysteries in plain sight in things like parables and metaphors. The few clear rapture verses we have come from Paul because the Holy Spirit began revealing this mystery thru him, and there is just enough information there to take up the honor of searching the scripture for what God hid, as Proverbs 25:2 calls this quest. And our discoveries glorify God, as the proverb also says.
The antichrist/the man of lawlessness is not a 'man' - singular. The phrase, 'man of lawlessness' etc, is the use of a descriptive device known as 'personification'. Also, Rev 13:18 is not referring to 'a' singular man. There is no 'a' in the Greek text. It should be translated as man/mankind/humankind. Some translations have correctly ascribed it this way, though not many. This error has been propergated through erroneous tradition. It is mankind/humankind - a united kingdom of man, himself, as at Babel, united in rebellion against God the Creator and his Messiah. 2 Thess 2:4, 'He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God' is speaking metaphorically. It is to say that he man/mankind will think himself superior to everything, his version of what is truth opposes the Word of God. The keys are given in the book of Revelation itself. *It is a kingdom 'which once was (at Babel), now is not (at John's time of writing) but will come again (in the last days), Rev 17:11. *It is the kingdom that is 'an eighth kingdom, which belongs to the seven'. The seven is the chronological complete beast of Gentile kingdoms which were prphesied to come, through Daniel, and unite the world in rebellion (apostasia) to God as first attempted at Babel where God said, if they be united like this, as one, nothing will be impossible for them. It is the resurrected kingdom of Babel, signifed by being assigned the number eight, since the number eight represents resurrection, a one world government where mankind becomes his own lord and master of his own destiny. *It is the kingdom 'which was wounded by the sword, yet lived', when God went to Babel and 'wounded man/mankind's effort to unite, as one, by confusing his language and dispersing him over the face of the earth. Man/kind has his own gospel to preach to the world, which opposes the Word of God; liberty, equality and fraternity, apart from God. His gospel blasphemes the Word of God calling it archaic, barbaric and even unrighteous. The word of man purports to save humankind apart from God and his Christ, Jesus. This is the deception which will be worshipped as truth by all those who are perishing, because they loved the darkness instead of the light. Cheers
@donhaddix3770 John used the third-person singular (ἀνθρώπου) in Rev 13:18, which refers to a single person. If he'd meant “mankind,” he would have used the third person plural (ἀνθρώπων) form here, as he did in verse 13. And I know that Koine Greek doesn't have the definite article (“a”), but English does, and it's correct to add the English definite article when translating singular nouns into English. That said, the beast with 7 heads and 10 horns actually refers to both Satan's government on earth, and a human world leader. And by the way, which translation has “mankind” in Rev 13:18? I searched dozens of translations, but cannot find one.
@@donhaddix3770 , Rev 3:10 says the Lord keeps some people away from the time of testing on earth when everyone on earth is tested. The only way to do that is to remove them from the planet before this time begins. Rev 12:7-13 declares woe to everyone on earth, showing again that nobody on earth will be kept safe during this time. Rev 13:7-18 says everyone on earth will be forced to convert to Satan's religion on pain of death, which is this test of faith that Jesus warned in Matt 24:9-14 that many will fail. And Jesus added that very few humans will survive this time of great tribulation.
@@biblehistoryscience3530 New EnglishTranslation, for one. In its notes it says this; Grk “it is man’s number.” ExSyn 254 states “if ἀνθρώπου is generic, then the sense is, ‘It is [the] number of humankind.’ It is significant that this construction fits Apollonius’ Canon (i.e., both the head noun and the genitive are anarthrous), suggesting that if one of these nouns is definite, then the other is, too. Grammatically, those who contend that the sense is ‘it is [the] number of a man’ have the burden of proof on them (for they treat the head noun, ἀριθμός, as definite and the genitive, ἀνθρώπου, as indefinite-the rarest of all possibilities).
1 John 4:3 says “But every inspired statement that does not acknowledge Jesus does not originate with God. Furthermore, this is the Antichrist’s inspired statement that you heard was coming and now it is already in the world.” It’s clear that anyone can be an Antichrist. In fact Antichrist’s were already on the scene in John’s day. The only powerful works that they’ve been doing is denying Christ teachings and persecuting Christ followers.
"144,000 Jewish virgins" I still find that hilarious, because I had no idea this was the case originally. And I think most people don't realize the Bible flat out says that the 144,000 were virgins. Tim Lahaye didn't seem to realize this either, because several members of the 144,000 in the Left Behind series had children. Tsion Ben Judah had a wife, son, and daughter. In the "The Kids" series, one member of the 144,000 was a Jewish-American man named Mark Stein, who had a wife and a daughter named Chaya. Chaya became a Christian so her family rejected her, later they adopted Vicki Byrne (who was put into juvenile detention). After Chaya died during the Earthquake he finally became a Christian and one of the 144,000. If there's one thing that makes it even more clear that the supposed 144,000 aren't literal but metaphorical, its the fact that they're stated to be virgins... which most people just conveniently overlook. When JW's hijacked the term they missed that part of it, too. That being said, I keep seeing this "reinstituted temple sacrifices" argument. I grew up in a Pentecostal (Assembly of God) church and literally nobody ever said anything about reinstituted temple sacrifices or returning to the law. The Jews might try to do that in a rebuilt temple, but never that God himself ordained this during the millennium. I don't ever remember that in Left Behind either. To me this argument seems like an unnecessary strawman to make the arguments about dispensationalism worse than it actually is, when its not necessary.
Glad you're bringing this back out. There are too many variations of what's next. I even see things that are not even in scripture. God bless you.

So if there is no pretrib rapture. We will all know when we are in the 7 year tribulation. And then come to Christ?
Huh,Nero means 666 in latin and greek,tribulation already happened before Jesus came into earth in the flesh,hank has youtube videos on it
The tribulation already happened? I have never heard that one before. I have been told we are in it now. I don’t believe that.

It's a pre trib rapture that's in question. No biblical base for it.
The 1948 scheme is what made The Late Great Planet Earth a best seller.
