First of all, it is not a misguided belief, but a promise. Why would you think that people would fall away? The true believers faith is in Christ crucified, buried and resurrected, not on when the gathering takes place. Believers are told by the Lord and the apostles to watch and be ready for...

Hello Butterflyyy! My God-given pleasure and you are welcome! The key to understanding end-time events, is to address all related scriptures in order to get the full picture. The problem that I have been encountering is that people are bringing in partial information which they are basing...

Yes, there will be someone to live until through God's wrath until the end when Jesus returns. Those who will be on the earth are listed below: The nation Israel: The unbelieving nation of Israel who will fulfill the last seven years of the decree of seventy sevens that was decreed upon...

The pre-tribulation gathering of the church is not a conspiracy. I have been studying end-time events for over 45 years. The underlying principle to this, is that Jesus experienced God's wrath on behalf of every believer, satisfying it completely...

And let's not forget about a fourth of the earth being killed by the opening of the fourth seal by sword, famine, and the wild beasts of the earth. And a third of the earth and trees being burned up Demonic beings resembling locusts who are released from the Abyss with teeth like lions teeth...

Hi Cinder! Jesus identified the end-times as that generation who sees all of those signs that He described in Matthew 24, stating that said generation would see all of those events fulfilled before that generation ended. It is specifically that last seven years when all of these events will...

Hi Absolutely, I think you misunderstand. The people who resurrected, i.e. stood back up in their bodies and came out of their tombs, were not resurrected into their immortal and glorified bodies, but back into their mortal bodies. They resurrected in the same manner as Lazarus and Jairus'...

You're Close. First of all, the second beast, who is later referred to as the false prophet, is revealed to be a person. For when Jesus returns to the earth to end the age, both the beast and the false prophet are captured and the two of them are thrown alive into the lake of fire. The...

Hello ChoirLoft! According to scripture, the beast represents Satan as a whole, as the dragon with seven heads, ten horns and seven crowns. The beast also represents that last day ten-toed kingdom. And the beast also represents the future ruler of that last day kingdom. How do I know that...

The jury is still out on the RFID chip. I'm just considering all avenues. I don't think that we should lock ourselves into one line of thinking. I know that the traditional belief among Christians is that it's the RFID chip but Satan is a master deceiver and I think that we have to be on our...

"One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes a special day does so to the Lord;" I would add, he that considers every day alike, i.e. worships God on another day besides...

Again, "who had fallen asleep" would infer that they had previously died. Also, that they came out of the tombs and went into the city does not infer that they were raised in their immortal and glorified bodies. They were resurrected just like Lazarus who died again. When a believer in Christ...

I agree! But why the question is, why are you not believing in the chip implant which is even closer and right on the money?! As I stated, we must pay attention to the details of scripture to come to a right conclusion. That said, the following are the two main constants: * Goes in/on the...

Hi John146! My purpose in comparing them is not to pick one, but to get a complete understanding of what is being said. Looking at all of the major translations in parallel is a great way to do this. They translations are usually not that far off. It's usually just a matter of using a different...

From what I can gather, it appears that Domitian himself had John banished to Patmos. Here's a little information on it: Late in the first century, the Apostle John was living in Ephesus preaching the Gospel, teaching the Scriptures, and helping lead the church. Historians also maintain that...

John gives us the answer to your question in Revelation 1:9 "I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance that are in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and my testimony about Jesus. So, John was banished to Patmos because of...

Hello Guojing! Yes, that is correct. "and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered" "That time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation event to that same time," is...
