There is a lot of confusion about the 144,000. There are some that teach that the 144,000 in Rev.7:1-8 are different from the ones in Rev.14:1-5. The Jehovah Witnesses teach that they are the same which is biblically accurate, but then turn around and teach they are the only ones who will go to HeavenContinue reading “Reconciled”

The Precursor To The Rapture
At His first Advent, a star announced His birth to the Magi, the wise men from the East. “Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, theContinue reading “The Precursor To The Rapture”

(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)”

(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)”

(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)”

(e) The Great Tribulation Pretribs designate the second half of the 70th week the Great Tribulation. This designation flies in the face of Scriptures. The Scriptures make it clear that the Great Tribulation does not last the whole length of the second half of the 70th week which is the three and one-half years allottedContinue reading “My Objections To A Brother Whose View On The Rapture Is Pretribulational(4)”

The 70th Week Of Daniel This is the last seven years of the 70 weeks or 490 years appointed by God for Israel to finish the transgression, make an end of sin, make reconciliation for iniquity, bring in everlasting righteousness, seal up the vision and the prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy. “Seventy weeksContinue reading “My Objections To A Brother Whose View On The Rapture Is Pretribulational(3)”

The Fifth Seal: Martyrs Under The Altar “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dostContinue reading “My Objections To A Brother Whose View On The Rapture Is Pretribulational(2)”

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)”
