Because they are chamber pots
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

If a man does not purge himself from iniquities, he will be a vessel unto dishonour and not ready for the master's use.

Point? If you want to discuss sovereignty it deserves its own thread.

Why is nobody raptured?
If you actually knew what you were talking about you would realize that the rapture has already taken place by now. Do you even understand the Jewish wedding ritual? You'd better sort that out first.

These bridesmaids (who are not the bride, in the same way that John the Baptist was the friend of the bridegroom....JTB is an OT Saint not a Christian) are NOT actually living (for months!) with the bride in her house waiting for the midnight cry of the bridegroom. NO.

The bridegroom finally comes, the midnight cry is heard (the whole village finds out in a very short period of time), the bride is instantaneously snatched to the father's house. Done.

These Bridesmaids (all of whom are slumbering sleeping at their own residences), find out AFTERWARD (during the same evening) that the bride has already been snatched away. The task of these bridesmaids is to inform the entire village that the rapture has happened, and the bride and groom are fulfilling their ***seven day*** honeymoon at the Father's house. These bridesmaids run to and fro telling EVERYONE that the wedding meal/feast/celebration is imminent!

Sequence: Rapture (Bride and Groom enjoying their honeymoon in privacy in the Father's house in Heaven), seven-year tribulation on earth (where Israelites are preaching, proclaiming, testifying of the inevitable, soon Second Coming), Second Coming/wedding supper. So simple so easy so straightforward so understandable.

Your generic error prone guesswork is doing everyone a terrible disservice. You are missing the mark over and over again.

Agreed.

But people tend to want to read THEMSELVES into passages which are not about them/us...

(essentially usurping Israel's role for themselves--as though EVERY passage is "about US"... instead of "correctly apportioning the word of truth" as we are called to do)

Any postribbers got a bible???

Lets go.

Get that dust off it and lets go!

You will learn something.
Your tolerance is note worthy and your advice is true.
Many get on here and display knowledge of little exposure to scriptures because....... dust is on their Bible.

Amen
As you pointed out, lot was removed, then judgement.
He was not removed after judgement.
Postribbers believe erroneously that they are removed POSTJUDGEMENT.
Thanks for pointing that out
That is not what I believe I believe they are removed at the Second Coming of Christ The same day. Not seven years prior.

Absolutely , rightly it should not go away. “Jesus further likened the timing of the separation of believers from unbelievers to the day when Lot exited the city of Sodom: . . . as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded: But the “SAME DAY" that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. EVEN THUS SHALL IT BE IN THE DAY WHEN THE SON OF MAN IS REVEALED ( Luke 17:28-30 ) According to the clarity of Christs statement, believers will be removed from the outpouring of God’s wrath on the “SAME DAY” that fiery destruction will fall upon an unregenerate humanity, even as righteous Lot was delivered on the same day in which the unbelievers of Sodom and Gomorrah were annihilated. The passage does not say that Lot was removed from Sodom seven years before the judgment comsumed the cities of the plain. It specifically that the separation was a simultaneous event transpiring on the “SAME DAY” As if the reinforce the reality of this truth, Jesus also compared His second coming to the judgement of the flood upon Noah’s generation.

And as it was in the days of Noe( Noah) , so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man. They did eat, they drank , they married wives, they were given in marriage, UNTIL THE DAY THAT NOE ENTERED INTO THE ARK, AND THE FLOOD CAME, AND DESTROYED THEM ALL ( Luke 17:26,27 see also Matt. 24:37-41). Jesus indicates the timing of separation between believers and unbelievers. Noah was spared and the unbelieving remnant was destroyed. The destruction produced a great separation, so shall it be at the Second Coming of Christ. In both comparisons, Jesus stresses the timing of the separation. Both isolate the timing to the “same day”. As Wilmot noted:
The simultaneous action of God in deliverance and judgment our Lord drew attention to when He spoke of His coming and like incidents in Biblical history are not wanting. “ ( The selfsame day: Gen.7:11-13 ) that Noah entire the ark, the flood came and destroyed them all “ ; “the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed the all. “ Even thus shall it be when the Son of man is revealed” ( Luke 17 ) William R. Kimball , The Rapture a Question of Timing

Sorry, man. Immediately AFTER the tribulation the ELECT will be gathered from all the earth. Also, while still in the midst of the Tribulation, for the ELECT’s sake those days will be shortened. Doesn’t seem like random guests or bridesmaids wandering in the darkness. If Christ’s ELECT were not the bride, I don’t know who is.

In Matt 26:39 Jesus himself was praying IF it is possible, let this cup pass from me. He was praying for any alternative other than this gruesome crucifixion - does a secret pre-trib rapture ring a bell? However, “not my will, but Yours.” You think I look forward to embrace the Great Tribulation? The Beast, the image, the mark, the whole package? Nobody wants that, I wish we could get out of this clown world as much as you do, but nonetheless, “not my will, but Yours.” If it has to be post trib, then so be it. If you really have faith in God, pray for His divine protection and spirit, not an easy way out with least resistance, for ”broad is the way that leads to destruction.”

Did you even comprehend my last post? Denial and misdirection is the way of the post-tribber. I mean what else is there left for you to do? Scriptural support and rational arguments are out the window along with integrity and truth.

Words matter to God and they should matter to us. Sovereignty is not a biblical term. I absolutely believe that God reigns supreme over all things, but has given responsibility over to man to make choices. Satan is the god of this world, the ruler of the darkness. Ultimately, God's word will prevail as stated. We can get on board or not.

Calvin believes all things that occur have been ordained by God making God the author of sin.
