My Objections To A Brother Whose View On The Rapture Is Pretribulational(7)

(n) Incapacitaion Of The antiChrist. It is biblically unjustified for anyone to teach that after the rapture, the antiChrist will arise to persecute those left behind. Shortly before the rapture, the antiChrist will be paralyzed, masterly inactivated by the cosmic and celestial disturbances and the appearance of the Shekinah in the heavens. The only twoContinue reading “My Objections To A Brother Whose View On The Rapture Is Pretribulational(7)”

My Objections To A Brother Whose View On The Rapture Is Pretribulational(6)

(k) The 144,000: Are They Evangelists? The 144,000 are Jews, 12,000 chosen from each of the twelve tribes of Israel. The Scripture is clearly explicit on that. They are suddenly introduced in Rev.7 in the interlude between the sixth and the seventh seals prior to the outpouring of the wrath of God in the DayContinue reading “My Objections To A Brother Whose View On The Rapture Is Pretribulational(6)”

My Objections To A Brother Whose View On The Rapture Is Pretribulational(5)

(h) The Timing Of The Removal Of The Restainer The restrainer has been variously identified by pretribs as the Holy Spirit who hitch-hikes with the Church when she is raptured pretribulationally, the Church herself, and human government which of course is functional throughout the 70th week, and cannot be removed until destroyed by Christ atContinue reading “My Objections To A Brother Whose View On The Rapture Is Pretribulational(5)”

My Objections To A Brother Whose View On The Rapture Is Pretribulational(1)

There is not a single verse in both 1 & 2 Thessalonians that teaches either explicitly or implicitly that some Christians shall be raptured and receive glorified eternal immortal resurrection bodies pretribulationally before the antiChrist is revealed. Rather it teaches that that day in which the rapture will take place will not occur until twoContinue reading “My Objections To A Brother Whose View On The Rapture Is Pretribulational(1)”

Revelation Chapters 21: The New Heaven And The New Earth

There are some bible scholars who teach that Revelation chapters 21 & 22 deal with a new dispensation called The New Heaven And The New Earth which begins after the 1000-year reign of Our Lord Jesus the Christ called the Millennium, after the White Throne judgment. Beyond this would be the Eternal State. But aContinue reading “Revelation Chapters 21: The New Heaven And The New Earth”

Revelation Chapter 19: Armageddon: The Destruction Of The Beast’s Army And The Demise Of Political Babylon

Whilst chapter 18 ends with requiem for the harlot city, chapter 19 begins with praise and worship to Almighty God. As we have stated previously, the rubrics of chapter and verse were introduced by scholars for ease of reference. Chapter 18 is a continuation of chapter 17. The harlot city has been judged for harlotryContinue reading “Revelation Chapter 19: Armageddon: The Destruction Of The Beast’s Army And The Demise Of Political Babylon”

Revelation Chapter 18: The Destruction of The Harlot City: The Demise of Commercial Babylon

It is pertinent to remind us here that in the original manuscript, there were no divisions into chapters and verses. The rubrics of chapters and verses were devised by scholars for the ease of reference. So chapter 18 is a continuation of the 7th bowl judgement, and indeed the judgement of the great harlot cityContinue reading “Revelation Chapter 18: The Destruction of The Harlot City: The Demise of Commercial Babylon”

Revelation Chapter 16:1-21: The Final Wrath Of God- The Bowl Judgements

The 7 bowl judgements which emanate from the seventh trumpet are the second and last series of God’s wrath meted out on the Dragon-Beast and their supporters: indeed anyone with the mark of the beast. The living wicked earth-dwellers are the object of God’s wrath. The believers have been raptured to Heaven prior to theContinue reading “Revelation Chapter 16:1-21: The Final Wrath Of God- The Bowl Judgements”
