There is only one phase man and it is post tribulation good luck when crap hits the fan and you and your family suffer due to a lack of scriptural diligence...!!!
Dead in Christ rise FIRST, the we which Remain, then the Tribulation Saints.
No, and I do not want to Argue with you. You can choose to believe, it is post tribulation, AND I DO NOT. You will be here for the Post Trib mess, and I will be at the Wedding of the Lamb in heaven. The Parable of Ten Virgins, is an accurate picture of the Rapture.
This I BELIEVE is Talking about the Wrath of the LAMB to come:
1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 (NASB)
9 For
God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.
11 Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.
Revelation 6:15-17 (NASB)
15 Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains;
16 and they *said to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and
from the wrath of the Lamb;
17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"
So I BELIEVE 100% the RAPTURE will happen any day before the events of
This DAY,
AND I BELIEVE REVELATION IS WRITTEN PRETTY MUCH IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.
That Same DAY is early, near the beginning of the 7 Year, Great Tribulation, or no later than mid-trib,
is also the Hour of Testing referred to in this Verse.
Revelation 3:10 (NASB)
10
'Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
I Believe that is absolute Truth, as Much as I KNOW CHRIST, who is in my HEART.
No it is not my place to convince you of anything, that is the Holy Spirit's job.
I am still friends with you, and always will be.
