There is a Kingdom coming, in the New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, Eternity!

There Won't Be A Millennial Kingdom On This Earth, Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Earth By Fire.

Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
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.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
You can't leapfrog over Revs 19-20 to get to 21. It is all one prophetic narrative.

It is not a lie, but a promise from the Lord. The error that many make, is not recognizing the trials and tribulation resulting from faith vs. God's coming wrath via the seals, trumpets and bowl judgments. It is the latter that believers within the church are not appointed to suffer. When we believed we were credited with righteousness and reconciled to God. So, why would the Lord put His bride through His wrath?

The Lord experienced God's wrath on behalf of every believer, satisfying it completely. Therefore, God's wrath no longer rests upon the believer and must be remove prior to God's wrath which is initiated at the opening of the first seal rider on the white horse, which symbolically represents the antichrist. Aside from this, we have other scriptures that demonstrate that the church will be in heaven at the wedding of the Lamb during the tribulation period. You must of missed that.

Here's another issue: In Revelation 22 there is a warning that for anyone who adds to the prophesies of the book of Revelation, God will add to that person the plagues of wrath contained in the book. Yet, you and others put the church (all who believe in His Son), through God's wrath for no reason.
Yes those that teach a Pre-Trib rapture is seen in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 below are adding to scripture,like looking into a mirror on the wall of truth.

The main scripture used by supporters of the pre-trib rapture teaching is 1 Thess 4:15-17 below, this is nothing more than the (Second Coming) (Last Day) resurrection, not a Pre-Trib rapture.

1. Is a resurrection of the believer seen in 1 Thess 4:15-17 below, 100% yes!

2. Does this resurrection take place on the (Last Day) as Jesus Christ taught below in John 6:39-40, 100% yes!

3. Is the (Last Day) the time of final judgement as Jesus Christ taught in John 12:48 below, 100% yes!

Many deny the truth of Gods words below, that are simple, clear, and very easy to understand.

(THE SECOND COMING, LAST DAY RESURRECTION)

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17KJV
15 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.

(THE LAST DAY RESURRECTION)

John 6:39-40KJV
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

(THE LAST DAY JUDGEMENT)

John 12:48KJV
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Okay thank you. I have to tell you that my Pentecostal Church experiences had me walk away from that denomination. The doctrine was all over the place and seem to always miss the mark. Pretty scary actually.
The baptism with the Holy Ghost is not scary. I am a Pentecostalist by experience not by denomination.

Jesus placed the rapture pretrib.
He did not

He said "AFTER the tribulation of those days ..... they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and glory and He will send forth His angels to gather the elect from the four corners of heaven"

There is a debate about what "all Israel " means but Paul does say all Israel will be saved.
Scripture clearly teaches not all ethnic Jews will be saved, only the (Remnant Elect) Jew will be saved and added to the Israel of God.

Zechariah 13:8KJV
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

Romans 11:5-7KJV
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

"""Jesus echos the same narrative. People are eating, drinking, and marrying like in the days before the flood then suddenly the flood came and washed them away. Then Jesus returns like a thief in the night. Matthew 24:36-43"""

Jesus framed the REMOVAL / RAPTURE preflood.

noah was not removed post flood.

nor was lot removed AFTER sodom burned.

your model of a post flood/ post burned destroyed sodom/post judgement or trib gathering or rapture is impossible.
The flood is an example of the wrath of God, of course the church will be taken away from that. But tribulation comes from the world "in the world you will have tribulation" it is persecution. The great tribulation is the great persecution.

Just a minute

Paul said in his day was the remnant. The apostolic church was the remnant

Zechariah 13. also says "I will strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered" Jesus quoted this scripture and said it was fulfilled.

Look now at Zech. 14.
It says "In the last days" ... ah ... the nations shall come up against Jerusalem and God will go forward like He did in olden times and battle against the nations.

God cannot both be scattering and gathering, punishing and defending. So these prophecies belong to different times.

You give total disregard to the 2/3 of ethnic Israel, that is cut off and miss, those that were blind seen in Romans 11:7 below

The fulness of the gentiles seen below is a future event, when the remnant will be saved, and added to the Israel of God, the Church

Roman's 11:25-26KJV
25 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:

He can't be fighting against and fighting for them at the same time. Zech. 13 and Zech, 14 are different prophecies for different times.

He did not

He said "AFTER the tribulation of those days ..... they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and glory and He will send forth His angels to gather the elect from the four corners of heaven"
Yes.

I would just like to add how Mark 13:24-27(KJV) words it:

24But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 26And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
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.

Revelation 20:9KJV
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
I believe those scriptures, the timing of them is where we disagree and I gave the reasons why.

You believe in the 1,000 years, you just don't believe it will be 1, 000 years lol

and He will send forth His angels to gather the elect from the four corners of heaven"
I was thinking Matt24:31 says, "from the four winds..." [see at bottom of post], as in the following verses:

--Isa11:11-12 - "11 On/In that day the Lord will extend His hand a second time to recover the remnant of His people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 He will raise a banner for the nations
and gather the exiles of Israel;
He will collect the scattered of Judah
from the four corners of the earth."

--and LIKE Jer49:36 - "36 I will bring the four winds against Elam
from the four corners of the heavens,
and I will scatter them
to all these winds.

There will not be a nation
to which
Elam’s exiles will not go
."




Matt24:29 -

And G2532 he shall send G649 his G846 angels G32 with G3326 a great G3173 sound G5456 of a trumpet, G4536 and G2532 they shall gather together G1996 his G846 elect G1588 from G1537 the four G5064 winds, G417 from G575 one end G206 of heaven [PLURAL] G3772 to G2193 the other. G206 G846

The flood is an example of the wrath of God, of course the church will be taken away from that. But tribulation comes from the world "in the world you will have tribulation" it is persecution. The great tribulation is the great persecution.
The Great Tribulation, Will Be A Warm Up For Gods Eternal Judgement Upon The Wicked, A Remake Of Moses/Aaron Against Pharaoh Of Egypt

Rev 9:3-6 plague men tormented 5 months desiring g to die, and they cant, as the (Sealed) church is protected, Eph 1:13, Eph 4:30

Revelation 11:3-6KJV
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

Ephesians 1:13KJV
13 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,

Ephesians 4:30KJV
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

The Sealed Church Is Protected!

Ephesians 9:3-6KJV
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

A remake of Moses/Aaron against Pharaoh of Egypt, the (Two Witnesses) are in control!

Revelation 16:1-11KJV
1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

You believe in the 1,000 years, you just don't believe it will be 1, 000 years lol
You dont believe the timing in scripture, because it clearly teaches when Jesus Christ is revealed, appears, comes, its fire time, I will highlight the facts in bold red below.

You believe it's time to start a Millennial Kingdom on Earth, where mortal humans are present in error

We Will Disagree.

There Will Be No 1,000 Year Millennial Kingdom Upon This Earth, Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Existing Earth By Fire, Immediately After The Tribulation.

This Existing Heaven And Earth Will Be (Replaced) By The New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, A New Creation, At The Return Of Jesus Christ!

(Behold, I Make All Things New)

2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

He did not

He said "AFTER the tribulation of those days ..... they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and glory and He will send forth His angels to gather the elect from the four corners of heaven"
Angels gather...not Jesus
From earth ...not heaven.

Definately not the rapture.

But rev 14 has a gathering BY JESUS FROM EARTH. DURING THE TRIB.

So, by claiming the rapture is postrib ( which has zero. Biblical support) you are in fact saying 1 thes 4 is incorrect.
( you have the gathering of rev 14 of the living BEFORE THE RESURRECTED DEAD of 1 thes 4)

...a literal impossibility


It is not "one theory vs another"

Rev 14 totally destroys ANY HOPE of a postrib rapture.
It CAN NOT happen.

Yes.

I would just like to add how Mark 13:24-27(KJV) words it:

24But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 26And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
ANGELS GATHER...not Jesus.

Not the rapture.

The rapture is framed in Noah and lot PREJUDGEMENT.
IN ACTS 1

In mat 25

In mat 24 one taken / left

.In 1 thes 4
All in a normal peaceful earth with no judgement.

and gather the exiles of Israel;
He will collect the scattered of Judah

--and LIKE Jer49:36 - "36 I will bring the four winds against Elam
from the four corners of the heavens,
and I will scatter them
to all these winds.

There will not be a nation
to which
Elam’s exiles will not go
."




Matt24:29 -

And G2532 he shall send G649 his G846 angels G32 with G3326 a great G3173 sound G5456 of a trumpet, G4536 and G2532 they shall gather together G1996 his G846 elect G1588 from G1537 the four G5064 winds, G417 from G575 one end G206 of heaven [PLURAL] G3772 to G2193 the other. G206 G846

[parallel ^ Isaiah 27:12-13]
Seems everyone has overlooked rev 19 gathering of the elect to the white horses IN HEAVEN.

i have never seen this brought out.

It is the only postrib gathering I can see anywhere.
