Where Are We?

We are in the "Church Age", between the Old Testament and the beginning of The Tribulation. We are in the Laodicea timeline of the "Church Age" awaiting to be raptured by our Lord Jesus Christ.

We as christians have tribulations, but we are NOT in The Tribulation.

There are seven church ages in the "Church Age", Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and lastly Laodicea.

(Revelation 1:11) "Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea."

Please Lord Jesus, come today, right now this very moment! Amen! Get SAVED now!

Every Dispensationalism in the Bible ends in Apostacy 😳

This is the Power of Negative Thinking. People want "positive" but every book in the Bible contradicts this.

1. The Fall of Man

2. The Flood

3. The Tower of Bable

4. Abraham called out of the Chaldees and seed went to Egypt

5. Etc...

Every time period ends "negatively". THIS time period is no different. Laodicean church (Rev 3:16), means "civil rights/rights of the people" and shows this age ends in an apostasy with civil rights. Sounds like today's modern time.

We The People, Government of the People, by the People, for the People

What does God say about the Laodicean church?:

(Rev 3:14-16) "And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; {15} I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. {16} So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." 😳

The gospel of the grace of God is 75 percent NEGATIVE: 😳

1 Corinthians 15:3–4. “Christ DIED (negative) for our SINS (negative)...and that he was BURIED (negative), and that he rose again (positive) the third day.”

That was the one true gospel that was to be preached to Gentiles in this age.

(Gal 1:8-9) "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. {9} As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."

It was 75 percent negative.

Why I threw all my "positive thinking CRAP" in the trash:

"I don't think anything has been done in the name of Christ, under the banner of Christianity, that has proved more destructive than the crude, uncouth, un-Christian strategy of attempting to make people aware of their lost and sinful condition." - Robert Schuller 😳

"A person is in hell when he has lost his self esteem" - Robert Schuller 😳

Nobody could say such things unless they are DEMON POSSESSED!

Positive thinkers have found a way to make a ton of money from suckers. "Look at ME, I did it, so can you!"

The work of the Holy Spirit IS: Showing people their lost and sinful condition.

(Job 42:6) "Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."

(Luke 5:8) "When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord."

(Isaiah 6:5) "Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."

Loosing your self esteem is the best loss you ever suffered in your life! 😳

Who's your idol you're trying to emulate? If you're proud of your sin your demon possessed.

If you are a Bible Believer, you don't believe a man like Schuller is saved. If you do, your not reading The Book, you don't believe The Book, you're afraid to believe The Book, you're afraid of the reproach that would come if you did or else your ok with abiding by these sins and just put The Book on the shelf, it makes me "looks" good.

"God loves gays too". Yeah, so what, God loves rattlesnakes too, what's your point? God feeds them every day.

"I Am Gay And Proud Of It!", "I am a this gender or that gender!", etc... Where in the Bible is any man proud of his sins?!? We all have sins, but if you're running around proclaiming to be proud of it, you are demon possessed!

Accepting yourself as God's workmanship

(Ephesians 2:8-10) "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: {9} Not of works, lest any man should boast. {10} For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”

To many churches are too accepting. If people leave the church offended, the tithes and offerings suffer. Money wins again. You are suppose to get saved and win others to Christ, not sell your personality.

Avoid "Self Acceptance" like the plague! 😳

(Matthew 16:24) "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."

Reject worldly amateur "psychology" Accept Christ, not yourself!

Relating

You think highly of others because they butter you up, "edification". You think highly of them cause your in love with yourself. A man in love with himself will have no competitors.

Lower yourself, Humble yourself. Use the Bible’s "success" system, not the worldly system.

Authority

Focus on racial backgrounds (racism), national heritage, our gender, our birth orders, equality, blah blah blah (you you you, me me me, we we we, I I I).

Evil people will try to keep you focused on MAN, not God or Christ! 😳

All this "CRAP" is to get you self centered, feeling good about yourself and buy more "CRAP" to keep you feeling good about yourself. You crazy nut, you've been DUPED by satanic people who want to make a buck off you. STOP. 😳

Look in any "Positive Thinking" book and look for the word "salvation". Hardly find it anywhere!

They can't make money by telling you the truth: Get the ONE book God wrote, read it and believe it!

Application of Basic Life Principles

The worldly basic principles of life of an UNSAVED person

• Self preservation: Me first you next.

• Self propagation: Every creature practices this. Sex Sex Sex.

• Self gratification: Reasonable amount of pleasure in life.

The Christian principles are exactly OPPOSITE:

• Christ didn't seek for self gratification: He willingly died on the cross, guilty of nothing

• He didn't seek self propagation: He never got married

• He didn't seek self preservation: He let them kill him

(Luke 14:11) "For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."

(Romans 1:21-25) "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. {22} Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, {23} And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. {24} Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: {25} Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."

😳

Practice CHARITY to fix ANY problem you have.

If you're feeling good or bad about YOURSELF, get some flowers and take them down to the hospital burn ward or ICU and minister to someone who has some REAL issues. Get humbled real quick and learn what Charity is all about. 😳

Many "christians" hate this doctrine, but they don't understand or reject dispensationalism.

"Eternal Security" is a basic doctrine for Church Age Christians.

(1 John 5:11-13) "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. {12} He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. {13} These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

(1 Corinthians 12:15-27) "If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? {16} And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? {17} If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? {18} But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. {19} And if they were all one member, where were the body? {20} But now are they many members, yet but one body. {21} And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. {22} Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: {23} And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. {24} For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: {25} That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. {26} And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. {27} Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular."

Most powerful verse pertaining to ETERNAL security. God AND Jesus agree!

(John 10:27-30) "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: {28} And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. {29} My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. {30} I and my Father are one." 😳

BTW, Holy Spirit Agrees!!

(Ephesians 1:13-14) "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, {14} Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory."

(Romans 8:19-23) "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. {20} For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, {21} Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. {22} For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. {23} And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body."

License to Sin with OSAS, ABSOLUTELY NOT!

(Hebrews 11:25) "Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;"

Sin is pleasurable, but for a short time. Better to suffer for Christ. Lifetime vs. Eternity.

(Galatians 6:7-8) "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. {8} For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."

You reap what you sow.

(Isaiah 57:21) "There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked."

No Peace

(Hebrews 12:6-7) "For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. {7} If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?"

Be scourged to keep on the right path

(1 Corinthians 11:30-31) "For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. {31} For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged."

God will end your life or make you sick

(1 Corinthians 3:17) "If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."

God will destroy you

(1 Corinthians 5:5) "To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus."

God will turn your body over to Satan

(2 Corinthians 5:10-11) "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. {11} Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences."

Terror sounds really really bad. 🫣

"The Holy See had maintained relations with Palestine (which the Vatican calls the Holy Land) since 11 February 1948..."

-The Pope, Wikipedia (Palestine-Vatican City relations)

WRONG! 😳

“And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.” (Exodus 3:5-6)

“And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.” (Exodus 3:8)

God owns the Land.

😳God Gave Abraham the Land😳

(Genesis 13:14-17) "And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: {15} For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. {16} And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. {17} Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee."

Abraham is King

(Romans 4:13) "For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith."

(Genesis 12:1-3) "Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: {2} And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: {3} And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."

Isaac, son of Abraham is King

Genesis 28:13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

Abraham->Isaac->Jacob->12 Tribes [Num 21,22,23:21]->Judah->Moses [Det 33:5)

->David [Mat 1:6]->Jesus [Mat 2:2] "King of the Jews"

😳Sorry Arabs, Palestine belongs to the Jews! Be careful messing with God's Plan!😳

Dispensationalism is key here.

Baptism is required for Salvation. NO!😳

(Acts 2:38) "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."

Necessary to receive the Holy Ghost, NOT SALVATION!😳

Read two verses before that:

(Acts 2:36-37) "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. {37} Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?"

BTW, that's for JEWS, not Christians!😳

The thief on the cross didn't get baptized, but Jesus said he would be with him in paradise. Hmm.

Christians

Paul wrote:

(1 Corinthians 1:17) "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect."😳

Who is Paul talking to? The saints of Jesus Christ...Christians.

(1 Corinthians 1:2) "Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:"

😳Most churches tell you that you need to get baptized cause faith is not enough. WRONG. Your calling Paul and God a liar!😳

Water baptism is a part of the child of God's obedience to Christ AFTER he's saved. So is attending a bible teaching church, supporting the gospel, giving tithes and offerings, witness and pass out tracts, study the bible, pray, minister to the sick afflicted and lost. These have nothing to do with obedience to the Gospel.

(Rom 1:5) "By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:"

(Rom 10:16-17) "But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? {17} So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

(Rom 16:26) "But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:"

😳God deals with Jews physically. God deals with Christians spiritually. 😳

😳Despite the many wrong teachings, there IS a PRE-TRIBULATION rapture.😳

😳The problem is most POST-Trib only advocates only show you the post-trib rapture scriptures. There IS a post-trib rapture...for the jews. Christians will NOT go through the tribulation and will be raptured (pre-trib rapture) before the tribulation. 😳

Dispensationalism is key! READ your KJV yourself. Study your KJV Bible!

Rapture (Latin: rapiemur" = "caught up" (used in The KJV Bible)

(1 Thessalonians 4:15-18) "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. {16} 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: {17} 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. {18} Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

Mid-Post Tribulation Rapture for the Saints

(Matthew 24:29) "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:"

(Matthew 24:31) "And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."

This is not private or mysterious

(Matthew 24:26) "Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not."

Pre-Tribulation Rapture for the Christians

(1 Corinthians 15:21) "For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

Christ rose first with Old Testament Saints!

{1 Corinthians 15:22} For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

(Matthew 27:52) "And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,"

(Ephesians 4:8-10) "Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. {9} (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? {10} He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)"

There is an order to things😳

{1 Corinthians 15:23} But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming."

(1 Corinthians 15:24) "Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power."

😳The Rapture😳

(1 Corinthians 15:50-55) "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. {51} Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, {52} In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. {53} For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. {54} So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. {55} O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"

Arguments between Pre-Trib and Post-Trib Raptures

Again, we believe in a post-trib rapture wholeheartedly. But they never show you the proof of a pre-trib rapture. Here is the evidence simplified:

Evidence #1

😳Jesus speaks of a Very Public Rapture😳

(Matthew 24:30) "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."

Tribes? Sounds very Jewish. 🤔

😳After Jesus, Paul says he will show us a "mystery"😳

(1 Corinthians 15:51-52) "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, {52} In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

😳If these are not separate raptures, they contradict or someone is lying! 😳

Evidence # 2

Tribulation starts in Rev 6:

(Revelation 6:1-2) "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. {2} 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."

😳BEFORE the Tribulation starts😳

(Revelation 5:9-10) "And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; {10} And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth."

😳These are ALL the Christians in Heaven, now the Tribulation starts in Rev 6!😳

BUT it's only the 24 ELDERS (Rev 4/5! No:

(Revelations 5:9)"...thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation"

(Revelation 1:6) "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."

(Revelation 1:5) "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"

"Every...people, nation" This is again ALL Christians and we are made kings and priests!

Evidence # 3

Taking about the Tribulation

(Jeremiah 30:6-7) "Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? {7} Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it."

😳Tribulation is reserved for Israel.😳

(Romans 11:25-27) "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. {26} And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: {27} For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins."

Christians first, then Israel. This is a national salvation, "all Israel". Israel as a nation rejects Jesus Christ. God does not take away Christians sins in the FUTURE. Christians are saved IMMEDIATELY by the Blood of Jesus Christ!

Evidence # 4

7 Year Tribulation

(Daniel 9:27) "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."

Biblically on week = 1 year.

69 Weeks have already passed

(Daniel 9:25) "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."

Who is the Tribulation for:

(Daniel 9:24) "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."

😳Christians don't have a "holy city". It doesn't take seventy weeks for Christians to receive forgiveness of sins and receive everlasting righteousness. This is obviously for the jews.😳

Evidence # 5

There is no Pre-trib rapture

(2 Thessalonians 2:1-3) "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, {2} That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. {3} Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"

Bunk

(Romans 13:11-12) "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. {12} The night is far spent, the day is at hand (2 Thes 2:2); let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light."

"At hand" has two meanings:

1. Near, any moment

2. Already here

In 2 Thes 2:2 "...at hand", Paul is saying don't let people deceive you that the rapture is "already" here. People thought they had already missed out on the rapture.

(2 Thessalonians 2:3-4) "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; {4} Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."

Example:

(1 Samuel 9:8) "And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way."

(Mark 14:42) "Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand."

Does the servant have them in his hand (present) or will have them in his hand (future).

Is the betrayer here or coming? 🤔

Two Different Events:

(2 Thessalonians 2:3) "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"

Day refers to two different events.

1. "...gathering together unto him..."

2. "...man of sin revealed..."

How can two events span a single day? A day spans a thousand years to the Lord. Many things can happen in a 1000 year gap.

(2 Peter 3:8) "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."

Paul is already talking about the 2nd coming in 2 Thes 1:

(2 Thessalonians 1:7-9) "And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, {8} In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: {9} Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;"

(Colossians 3:4) "When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory."

Interesting:

Tribulation:

(2 Thessalonians 2:7-13) "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. {8} And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: {9} Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, {10} And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. {11} And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: {12} That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

When Paul says "They" or "Them" who is he referring to...the jews.

Now it's "We"

{13} But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:"

"We" are the Christians. 🤔

Evidence #6

Tribulation means hardship. Do Christians experience hardship? Oh yeah.

(Revelation 2:10) "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."

This tribulation is not like any before. So there has been others!

(Matthew 24:21) "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."

Final Thoughts

Paul

(1 Thessalonians 5:2,4) "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. {4} But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief."

(1 Thessalonians 5:7) "For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night."

(1 Thessalonians 5:9-10) "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, {10} Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him."

Jesus

(Luke 21:21-23) "Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. {22} For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. {23} But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people." Sounds like Matt 24, the post-trib wrath.

Jesus also speaks of the pre-trib rapture:

(Luke 21:34-36) "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. {35} For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. {36} 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."

Matches 1 Thes 5, pre-trib rapture. 😎

😳Stop listening to those who only gives you 1/2 the teaching!😳

What Happens When You Die

OT Saved/Unsaved People

(Luke 16:22-24) "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; {23} And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. {24} And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."

Rich man was unsaved and Lazarus and Abraham were saved

Jesus Death

(Ephesians 4:8-10) "Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. {9} (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? {10} He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)"

(1 Peter 3:19) "By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;"

(1 Peter 4:6) "For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit."

(Matthew 12:40) "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."😳

😳Jesus died for the devil's sin😳

(John 3:14) "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:"

😳Jesus jailbreak! Jesus descended into the earth and set the OT saved captives free😳

New Testament Saved/Unsaved People

Saved People go to Heaven.

(2 Corinthians 5:21) "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

Finish with these sections:

1. Pre-Trib Rapture section

2. Judgement Seat of Christ

3. 1000 Millenial Rein

4. New Heaven & New Earth

😳Unsaved People go to Hell (Temporarily)😳

(Revelation 20:11-15) "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. {12} And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. {13} And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. {14} And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. {15} And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

Their soul will go to Hell where you will be weeping, wailing and gnashing your teeth.

Their soul will stay in Hell till after the Tribulation, 2nd coming AND 1000 year reign.

Their soul will be called out of Hell to the White Throne of Judgement.

Every soul will kneel and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Muslim, Mormons, Catholics, etc...)

(Philippians 2:10-11) "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; {11} And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Roll the Dice

Their soul will be judged for everything, good and bad, written in the book of life.

Their soul will be cast into the Lake of Fire to burn, FOREVER and Ever!

😳😳😳Christians will Judge Unsaved Loved Ones with Christ😳😳😳

(1 Corinthians 6:1-3) "Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? {2} Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? {3} Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?"

(Daniel 7:10) "A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened."

😳There will be tears and great sorrow watching our unsaved loved ones come out of hell and be judged before us.😳

White Throne of Judgement

(Revelation 21:4) "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
