    Less well-known Rapture verses. The case for the Rapture is compelling.

    The great tribulation is apart of God's wrath. I think that what is tripping you up, is Matt.24:29 and the event of the 6th seal. Though they sound similar, they are separate events having to do with the sun, moon and stars.

    Less well-known Rapture verses. The case for the Rapture is compelling.

    That's where we differ. The great tribulation is the last 3 1/2 years of that seven year period. The great tribulation does not complete until after the 7th bowl has been poured out, which completes God's wrath. All of the seals, trumpets and bowl judgments are for the wicked. The 6th seal and...

    Less well-known Rapture verses. The case for the Rapture is compelling.

    Hi Runningman, Both references to God's wrath at the 6th seal and 7th trumpet are general announcements which includes all of the seals, trumpets and bowl judgments. To be clear, at the 6th trumpet when we read "the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand," it includes the seals...

    Why is the mark of the beast on the RIGHT HAND?

    Good day, Kolistus, I do indeed believe that it will be a literal mark. When God first called me at 14 years old, I was immediately drawn to end-time events and the book of Revelation. When the first ATM's began to appear I knew that this was relevant to the coming mark. Then came the Universal...

    When did (will) Jesus open the first seal in Rev. 6 and what does it represent?

    The scripture actually says the following: "And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain." Its meaning is the same as Rev.17:8 below: "And those who dwell on...

    Why is the mark of the beast on the RIGHT HAND?

    Hello Kolistus, Forgive me if I am repeating here, as someone else may have already give this answer. First of all, the 'right hand' is mentioned only in Rev.13:16, in other places such as Rev.14:9, it just states the hand. However, my answer may be that, the right hand with God is the place...

    Why is the mark of the beast on the RIGHT HAND?

    Hello TMS, Those teachings that the forehead represents the mind and the right hand representing works or action, comes from the false teachings of Seventh Day Adventists. There is nothing in the context that would lead the reader to interpret the forehead and hand as being symbolic. To attempt...

    If the Rapture is true, just who are the saints beheaded by the Antichrist?

    The Invention of Homosexuality

    Hello OrphanedRepublican, Actually, the verse says that "God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another." So, God is not forcing those desires upon them, but is allowing them to do the evil desires of their hearts. It's not...

    The End Times has finally come

    I agree! We ought to preach Christ crucified. All believers are at different levels of scriptural knowledge, so, each one should use what God has given to them. And through the study of His word and prayer, we become more and more knowledgeable and thereby more useful.

    The End Times has finally come

    I totally agree! And we can add to that, the mark of the beast technology and the fact that people over in Switzerland have already been receiving RFID chips under the skin of the hand between the index finger and thumb and are using it for digital buying and selling. I believe that this will...

    Not a Salvation Issue / Not Required for Salvation

    Well, that's a new one! You mean that God wrote His word for nothing. Reading His word is how the Holy Spirit reveals His word to us. And what about the following: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness...

    "Antichrist": Broad Deception By Narrow Definition

    I agree! With just a cursory look at Roman Catholicm's beliefs and practices and it becomes obviously apparent that she is not the church, but a counterfeit. One red flag, which the over 1.2 billion Catholics do not take into consideration, is that Egyptian obelisk that is sitting out in St...

    Very concerned about Hebrews 10:26 (New Member)

    "For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” You were you saying? Salvation is dependent upon faith from beginning to end. Well, God is the One who calls us. However, He is not going to force the person in. It...

    Very concerned about Hebrews 10:26 (New Member)

    Hebrews 6:4 is a very controversial scripture. First off, this is in reference to complete apostates, i.e. those who believed and have completely turned away from Christ. That true believers are being spoken of is obvious from the following: "It is impossible for those who have once been...

    The End Times has finally come

    So, how are the non believers going to know it, if believers don't study this stuff and tell them what is coming? They are surely not going to read it for themselves. Noah was building a boat and preaching that God was going to flood the earth. None of them believed the word of God regarding...

    The End Times has finally come

    I do and have been doing that, while keeping tabs on all of the proofs that we are in the last days. I'm doing what Peter said and what the attitude of all believers should be: "You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming." The more...
