    Giants in the book of Enoch is in reference to the giants of industry. 3,000 ells is somewhere around 6,000 feet. A mans height averaging somewhere around 6 feet makes a giant in the book of Enoch 1,000 times that of an average individual. This 1,000 X comparison between the titans of industry...

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    The sealed book that is opened by Christ contains all the data on the future, as John is told to come up to heaven where he is to be shown things that must come thereafter. Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it...

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    Well, I'm not entirely sure, but just before we start getting information on the two witnesses in Revelation 11, the angel does inform John of Patmos that he does need to testify again (Revelation 10:11), and so I do think he will probably be one of the two witnesses. As for the other witness, I...

    Hour of Temptation

    Yes, those who endure to their end, shall be saved, having been justified by the Lord's blood.

    Hour of Temptation

    Correct, persecution which also constitutes tribulation is different from what will be God's wrath.

    Hour of Temptation

    The tribulation, which is also referred to as the day of the Lord in the OT, has commenced, with many Christians in many parts of the world currently undergoing persecutions and death on a far greater scale than has been seen in many years. Even here in the U.S., though there is no direct...

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    I also see the 144,000 virgin Jews of the 12 tribes being a metaphoric description. First: There are probably no pure blood Jews of any single tribe, but even if there were some, there would not be 12,000 virgins from each of the twelve tribes. I therefore understand the reference to regard the...

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    Yes the 144,000 are Jews, and more specifically, virgins, 12,000 of whom from each of the twelve tribes. Are they carnal race Jews, of which there is not a single Jew today whose family heritage has not been assimilated into the whole of Judaism? And if there were pure blood tribe individuals...

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    That's great, but you stopped there at saying future tense, thereby implying that it was still future to the conclusion of the two witnesses testimony. Many here do just that, spinning the meaning of what is in scriptures so that it fits in with their dogmas. These are the man made faiths...

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    I did read your posts. You bring up numerous different topics in one post, and you primarily take a word in scripture, and try to make it mean what you want it to mean. This is often in error, as you did by claiming the Lord commencing to reign in Revelation 11:15 was future tense, when I showed...

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    Through your definition that those who find themselves in the trib representing unbelievers/wicked; the many Christians throughout the world who today find themselves in persecutions/tribulation, including their being killed, would represent wicked unbelievers. I guess this is why when things...

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    You will either participate in the orgyfest that will be the beast's system, which will be comparable to those as in the days of Noah, and those as in the days of Lot, or you will not participate in the beast's hedonistic world order, because you believe otherwise. There will be no one sitting...

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    He will reign means commencing from that point onward. Are become in Revelation 11:15 is present tense. What also commences at this point is the rewarding of the lords servants, while at the same time the Lord's wrath commences to fall on the beast's worshippers (Revelation 11:18). Revelation...

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    There is only one body of Christ. The church, which is His Body includes all races who believe in the spiritual virtues of love, truth, and justice, that Christ believes in. The Lord does not come back a second time for a group of Jews who repent after seeing Him up in the clouds earlier. When...

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    The problem with straddling the first and second halves of the week is that at the end of the two witnesses testimony, when they are killed by the beast, and 3.5 days later they are resurrected, the Lord will then commence to reign (Revelation 11:15), at which time the beasts reign comes to a...

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    The Lord is impartial on those who believe in/on Him, and does not favor one group over another. There is only one body in Christ. If the Lord were to come and pick up a first group, and depart, then why would the whole world mourn when they see the Lord coming in the clouds, if there is still...

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    If we believe in the spiritual qualities and teachings of Christ, we will then certainly not take up arms against the AC. The context of the scripture, however, is that during the ordeal that Christians will be under extreme duress and are dying, that we are then not to join in with the...

    Hour of Temptation

    I'm not sure what your point is, but mine is that those who endure to their end, whether it means their dying or continuing on under adverse conditions, while maintaining their faith in love, truth, and justice, (spiritual reverences), are they who will be saved.

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture: The Blessed Hope of the Saints

    WOW! So let me see if I have your picture right. The Lord will come and just hover in the clouds while He meets with group 1? The Lord then takes off again, and comes back later to meet with group 2 on the ground? Like I posted previously, there are no scriptures supporting this two round...
