Because that's not in the Bible.

I just watch pre-tribbers waiting and waiting and waiting for the Lord to come pick them up, while each passing day brings us closer to the great tribulation.

According to the Bible, I can confidently say you'll all still be here when the antichrist is revealed and the mark of the beast will be enforced soon after. This is why I don't bother arguing - the event itself will prove you wrong.

So build up your faith, listen to the Lord if He has specific instructions for you on surviving this worst time ever and endure to the end. Remember, being beheaded for the Lord is not the worst thing to happen.

The 10 virgins were incorrectly watching and waiting for departure?

The end of the Bible, The Parting words of the Holy Spirit, are the bride and the spirit calling out to the groom Jesus:
"Come Lord Jesus, Maranatha, come Lord Jesus, come quickly"

Was He also batting the air as postribber declare?

The rapture as you know it is a myth (2Tim4:4) and Paul was speaking of his rapture when he said the time of his departure was at hand (2Tim4:6).

Paul, when he used that word "departure [G359 - analysis ]" (2Tim4:6), he was referring to his death (per context).


However, "rapture [G726 - harpagēsometha ]" (1Thess4:17), when the entire corporate "Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" will be "SNATCHed-up/-away]" at once (in ONE "snatch-action"), that is NOT equivalent (in any way) to the word or idea of [our] "death" (nor the idea of "sleep through Jesus" speaking of our "death").



(It will also involve our bodies, although they will be "changed in a moment" i.e. to "glorified" bodies; Phil3:21 "that it might be fashioned like unto His glorious body..." [i.e. what 2Cor5:4's "clothed-upon" speaks to also... that is, when we get our "glorified bodies"--"changed in a moment"])

If I may... And do please excuse me because I am not up on all the relevant terminology... but I do believe that Cameron is one of those who believe that the prophesies in Revelation were fulfilled with the destruction of the temple. And that is why he would need a time machine...

Thank you.

I'm not all that familiar with that line of thought.

What does it mean then to those alive now after all that?

Absolutely!!! if you're not Born again of the Holy SPirit then ETERNAL HELL awaits

I have thought about it a hell of a lot. and I have done some preparation for the war. You know, after the big war things get expensive. The supermarket shelves become empty because people start to panic. So I've done some preparation for that.

Unimportant. Christians will be removed before things get bad. Dying as a born again Christian is a good thing in the absolute, and NOBODY has any real idea about the events of the final days. "Eschatology" is just a "Religious word" for "Rank Speculation" - AND of course, I've got "Biblical proof" that the rapture of the CHURCH will occur during the "Feast of Trumpets" in 1988. I can hardly wait!!!!

Have you seen John Hagee's new video? Replacement theology. The Jews don't need Jesus. They are blessed by God. And through the Jews God will bless us. Just need to watch about 5 minutes. No need to comment If you don't want.

Pastor John Hagee - "Seven Signs of His Coming"

REVELATION 20:4 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands
