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

    You just keep on making more stuff up! I would think you would feel guilty. "in transit" was the wrong answer to begin with. "Heaven" by its Greek definition is all that is between the throne of God and us on earth. You are hinting that the Angel doing the search did not know what He was doing...

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

    Let's follow the TEXT and not create arguments against the Text" 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. [Telling us that Jesus had just prevailed over...

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

    Yes, OF COURSE I know this, but I understand it. So you are telling us Jesus did not HAVE to die on the cross. If anything is blasphemous it would be that. Sorry, my friend, but it too the REAL blood of Jesus spilled and it took the DEATH of the testator. Slain from the foundation of the...

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

    Sorry, but John tells us the first search did not find anyone. It is WHY John wept much. It was LATER when Jesus was found. I can't prove how much later, but you can't prove some lessor amount of time. That is your theory. Only it does not fit the context. 5 And one of the elders saith...

    It does not matter what Jesus' resurrection was called. He went from horizontal to vertical and with a resurrection body. His resurrection fits with all the rest. The SAME EXACT THING will happen with the dead in Christ. Your argument fails. Just the CONTEXT makes your theory impossible. For...

    I am only pointing out that there are different English words translated from the Greek. "first" is one such word. "Chief" is another such word. Mat 20:27 And whosoever will be chief G4413 among you, let him be your servant: Mar 6:21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his...

    So where does that leave the FIRST resurrection? BEFORE the second one. First, these are TITLES not individual resurrections. Yes, the Chief resurrection will be before the second as shown by the intervening 1000 year reign of Christ. But which of these two will you place JESUS'...

    After all this time of you posting here and you don't know the difference between understanding scripture and being desperate to force a theory up scripture as posttribbers do. It is NOT absurd! It is implied by FIRST-fruits. "First" hints strongly of MORE. You have missed some. How did the...

    "Firstfruits" conveys the idea of more fruit coming. The resurrection of the church will be SECONDfruit THIRDfruit FOURTHfruit Etc. All a part of the SAME chief of resurrections.

    Oh no! NOT AGAIN! CHIEF! It is not first in time, it is CHIEF of resurrections. Your argument falls flat due to poor exegesis.

    No, wrong. He makes too many mistakes.

    There is ample proof this is NOT Paul's rapture. But preconceived theories are indeed to strong to waver! You will not change until Jesus comes FOR His church and you are left behind wondering, banging your head against a wall. Jesus PROMISED an escape. Are you praying to be worthy?

    This is MYTH! The 7th trumpet in revelation is MIDPOINT. Are you now changing to a midtrib rapture? Did you not understand that the 5 mentions of the 3 1/2 year period of time are COUNTDOWNS from the midpoint to the end: 42 months of trampling chapter 11 1260 days of testifying Chapter 11...

    Why do you keep saying this: MILLIONS of people find pretrib in scripture. The problem is, due to your preconceived theories, you can't see them! Case in point: the great crowd seen in heaven right after Paul's prewrath rapture. it is almost like you reject what the bible actually says!

    Hallelujah! We agree on ONE POINT! Why do you keep doing this: picking out one verse and trying to form a doctrine there: That is wrong! Why not just read the next verse and see that your theory is OFF? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many...

    The truth is, Jesus did not have "the church" in this picture at all. When He said "the end is not yet, He was talking about THE ENTIRE 70th week - as proven by His jump to the midpoint abomination. Therefore "the end is not yet, must be talking about the time BEFORE the 70th week. If you had...

    Why is it you demand things over and over, and when they are presented you just blow them off? Do you ever really read these posts? Which of the two resurrections shown in Rev. 20 - since there are ONLY TWO - would Jesus own resurrection fit in? That is only your sloppy exegesis and wild...

    Isaiah 13:9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

    You still don't get it. My friend, the seals - the first 5 - are HISTORY, not future! Why do you keep ignoring Jesus own words, "the end is not yet." He is TELLING You that He is not yet talking about end times! You will continue to be in error every time you copy and paste this nonsense...

    You are thinking of "first" as in counting or sequence. John was thinking of first as in honor. Another verse translates this same Greek work as "Chief." It is the CHIEF of resurrections, being for the righteous. Did you not realize you answered your own question? Christ was the VERY FIRST...
