First I want to thank you for all your replies. I know it's not that easy to type out all this stuff because it does take work.
Yes, it does. = )
Secondly, I remember years ago that the Lamb's supper would be in heaven.
(or at least its inauguration).
Its location is on the earth.
It commences upon His "RETURN" to the earth at Rev19.
(the Greek word G347 also speaks to this: used in Matt8:11 and its parallel [see that text--it is speaking of the MK age]; and used in Lk12:36-37,38,40 "when he will RETURN FROM the wedding"... THEN the meal [G347])
If it's not as you say, so be it.
Now, after reading what you wrote I'm still not convinced one bit.
... it is as if you are doing the same thing that some folks do when (for example) they read the sentence in 2 Thessalonians 2:8, which says,
"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,"
...and they INCORRECTLY conclude that: "this verse is saying 'when the man of sin is revealed, he is destroyed because he's 'revealed' at Christ's 2nd Coming' coz that's what the sentence in 2:8 SAYS [see it right there in front of your nose!]" (they say).
But the sentence DOES NOT SAY THAT, see. They've INJECTED that meaning INTO verse 8, because THEY REASON (in their own minds) that this why this sentence is saying (of that person) both "revealed" and "destroyed" in the same breath [/sentence].
But the verse says NOTHING about "destroyed WHEN he's revealed."
They just imagine that it is saying such, and by injecting the word "WHEN" INTO that text (2:8), which isn't there!
You have not proven the rapture of the church is before the various verses i presented. I know you explained 2 Thess 1:1-10 and explained the meaning of vs10 and how "glorified" in his saints etc.
Please read the following I wrote to oyster, my post 39. I will put it here.
That's what I was addressing in my previous post.
There is NO WORD "WHEN [G3752]" in verse 7; instead it is the word "IN [en G1722]" ("IN [en G1722] the revelation of").
And the phrase "the revelation" is a NOUN (not the VERB "shall be revealed" you show here)
"Did you actual read the rest of the verse where it says, "When" will the church get rest? It's right there in front of your nose. "When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire."
The word "WHEN [G3752]" doesn't come in until v.10 (which v.10 is only talking about the v.9 "future tense [to that]" item--"who SHALL BE [future tense; identifying the ones "who" shall be] punished with everlasting destruction AWAY-FROM..." which item IS at His Second Coming to the earth [Rev19] point in the chronology).
Instead, v.7 is saying "rest / repose with us IN [G1722] THE REVELATION OF..."
...so the "IN FLAMING FIRE" part and the "INFLICTING VENGEANCE ON" (and the "with His MIGHTY ANGELS" part) is what PRECEDES them being sent "away-from" Him at the point in time of His Second Coming to the earth (<--this, at the same point in time as 2Th2:8b [man of sin "DESTROYED"], but NOT 2Th2:8a point in the chronology [when the man of sin is "REVEALED," which is 7 years PRIOR TO THAT POINT]).
It is not in the Greek text in v.7 "WHEN [G3752]" (no, that word comes in v.10)...
...and consequently it is because of your pre-supposing (a "post-trib" idea) that you are INJECTING INTO what vv.7-8 are saying (which is actually what will occur OVER SOME TIME and PRIOR TO what vv.9-10 are speaking of [His Second Coming to to the earth point in time Rev19])... you also are smooshing things in this passage together to fit into a moment of time (the day of His Second Coming to the earth Rev19)...
IOW, the JUDGMENTS throughout the bulk of Rev (many chapters'-worth!) PRECEDE what takes place in Rev19 (when He will send them away to "everlasting punishment AWAY-FROM" His presence).
Such is also the case here in our present text under discussion. = )
Read the text how it is actually written (in the Greek), not the version that seems (in your mind) to "fit" your idea (you are imposing upon the text).
That's my two cents. Hope it helps. = )
Once that part is grasped, we can further discuss why it is so that we will NOT be present on the earth FOR "the day of the Lord / Tribulation period [aspect of it]" due to "our Rapture" event.
