3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Malachi
IMO, Christians are not to be as “them that dwell upon the earth.” Our citizenship (Gr. Politeuma) is in heaven, from whence (=from which vantage point) we look for the Lord’s return, and the rapture (Phil. 3:20-21). We are seated in heavenly places, and meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. The ‘open door’ is the door of rapture, which will consummate the promise. The saints in light are seen in Revelation 4 seated about the throne. I think the mistake is thinking that everyone will be raptured all at once. Those who meet the spiritual conditions of Thyatira will be thrown into great tribulation.. but to the Philadelphians an open door is given. Paul identifies this as the “prize of the upward calling” (Phil. 3:14). It’s a prize, and can be lost. Christ Himself makes reference to this in Luke 21:36. The rapture doesn’t all take place at once. The firstfruits sheaf was waved in A.D. 30 (see Leviticus 23).. but the harvest consists of an ingathering and a gleaning. The ingathering can take place at any moment. The gleaning occurs at the close of the tribulation. Those who like the unwise virgins, are not ready for the Bridegroom, will be left to enter the tribulation.
Prepare for all three possibilities. This is the only reasonable stance given that no view is unequivocally held up by scripture. One who claims absolute certainty is missing the point of the intended mystery left to us. Faith would be the point, obedience would be the measure, soul-winning would be the outcome. Economy of narrative is a basic principle we can ponder when feeling the pressure of eschatological fixity. God is the best communicator in the world, precisely that which is in scripture is what was intended by Him and if there is ambiguity, He did not want us to know. This idea Jesus was importing of “watch and be ready” implies mysterious unknowns. The idea of the virgins being wary of the lamp oil demonstrates this mystery. Remember, though, Revelation was written to the Church. Why would he ask us to calculate the number if we weren’t here? A man who has wisdom must calculate and fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; this man must be saved. This is one example of mid or post tribulation. However our marriage celebration (7 days traditionally 7 years literally) would not be very luxurious in tribulation, nor would the groom be satisfied with such a proposition). Therefore we see clearly that a similitude of contradictions is really intended ambiguity, that mystery is a call to faith, an equipping of the saints to readiness, obedience and mission.
For the next 60 seconds, set aside whatever
You’re doing and take this opportunity!
Let’s see if Satan can stop this.
At the age of 33,
Jesus was condemned to death .
At the time
Crucifixion was the “worst” death. Only the worst
Criminals were condemned to be crucified. Yet it was
Even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike
Other criminals condemned to death by
Crucifixion Jesus was to be nailed to the
Cross by His hands and feet.
Each nail
Was 6 to 8 inches long.
The nails
Were driven into His wrist. Not
Into His palms as is commonly
Portrayed. There’s a tendon in the wrist that
Extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew
That when the nails were being hammered into the
Wrist that tendon would tear and
Break, forcing Jesus to use His back
Muscles to support himself so that He could
Breathe.
Both of His feet
Were nailed together. Thus He was forced to
Support Himself on the single nail that
Impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could
Not support himself with His legs because of the pain
So He was forced to alternate between arching His
Back then using his legs just to continue to
Breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the
Suffering, the courage.
Jesus endured this
Reality for over 3 hours.
Yes,
Over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of
Suffering? A few minutes before He died,
Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water
From his wounds.
From common images
We see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound
To His side… But do we realize His wounds
Were actually made in his body. A hammer
Driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped
And an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a
Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But
Before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and
Beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the
Flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His
Face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The
Crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men
Would not have survived this torture.
He had no more blood
To bleed out, only water poured from His
Wounds.
The human adult body contains about 3.5 liters
(just less than a gallon) of blood.
Jesus poured all 3.5
Liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into His
Members; a crown of thorns on His head and, beyond
That, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His
Chest..
All these without
Mentioning the humiliation He suffered after carrying His own
Cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his
Face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight,
Only for its higher part, where His hands were
Nailed).
Jesus had
To endure this experience, to open the
Gates of Heaven,
So that you can have free
Access to God.
So that your sins
Could be “washed” away. All of them, with no exception!
Don’t ignore this situation.
JESUS
CHRIST DIED FOR YOU!
He died for you! It
Is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but
When it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward
To others because you are worried of what they may think
About you.
God
Has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced
To save you. Now think about this! May God bless your
Life!
60
Seconds with God…
For the next 60
Seconds, set aside what you’re doing and take
This opportunity! Let’s see if Satan can stop
This.
All you have to do
Is:
Simply
1. Pray for the person who sent this message to
You:
2. Then, send this
Message to people.. I know someone has to read this.
People will
1. Pray for you and you will make that many people pray to God
For other people.
2. Take a
Moment to appreciate the power of God in your life, for
Doing what pleases Him.
He said (Matthew 10:32 and 33): ” Therefore, all
Whoever recognizes me before others, I will recognize him too.
In front of my father in heaven; but the one who denies me
Before others, I will deny it before my father in heaven “.
Share it in your groups right now before it’s too late and before Satan win. If you share God wins in your life. God bless yall!
#Solid: The hour of temptation is totally separate from the great tribulation period even though it happens during the reign of the Antichrist. It is an hour of testing the whole world sinner or saint alike, it will be the same temptations Jesus Christ our Lord went through in: [Mat 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Mat 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. Mat 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Mat 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, Mat 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Mat 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; Mat 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.] If thou be a child of God ask your Lord to turn these stones into bread. If thou be a child of God try to commit suicide and your Lords angels will come and rescue you. If you want I can free you from all your suffering all you need to do is bow down and worship me, receive this mark and you can have anything you want in this world. This hour of temptation is coming body of Christ: [Luk 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.]
Well, if I may put something an audible voice told me, “it is all three, depending where you are in the world. The western world will experience the pretribulation, and not be ready for it, the eastern world will experience the post tribulation. ” my thoughts on this is when Iran Iraq Egypt and Syria start marching for Jesus, for them, the majority of the persecution has ended. It has not began in the west.
Now this could relate to the war, when all the loyalists to the world go to remove Israel. Emptying thier lands of the hatred or influence, but that again, is only my understanding. Peace be among you!
ye do err not knowing the scripture and ye fail to rightly divide the words of truth. Thou art also guilty of adding to the words.
Thou inserted your belief of no rapture in Rev. 3:10 The context of that verse is not the tribulation.
You didn’t like the KJ reading:
Revelation 3:10 (KJV) Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
If CONTEXT really MATTERED to YOU, you’d leave the verse as it is and then adjust your thinking to FIT THE CONTEXT!
All you post trib folks are hung up in Matthew, stuck in Matthew, and refuse to rightly divide the word.
You post tribs are guilty of STEALING verses and promises made to the nation of Israel and force them in and on to the church. Again, ye fail to rightly divide the words of truth.
BUt tis your eternity, I have mine.
Twill be shame if all you post trib folkd should die before the tribulation. You’d miss out on seeing the Anti-Christ, miss out on all the beheadings going on, the earth quakes, the disease, the famines, the hail stones raining down on men.
Others would get to show how strong their faith is, but bless your heart you’d be denied the glory. Best eat right and sleep right; so you can show how strong you are.
This is Sean. You will not understand this article without first knowing about the BRIDE of Christ, as well as the promises God made to Jacob’s sons Joseph and Judah:
In the quote in this post, where it says “kept from the wrath”, the word ‘from’ is the Greek word ‘apo’ which mean from the time and the place of. Clearly the Church will be removed before the Tribulation, not just kept safe through it.
The LAST hour of temptation is when satan is allowed back into the 1,000 year rule of Yeshua/Jesus upon this earth. Believers who are resurrected and harvested while still alive and given their Eternal Bodies will already have received their reward and be helping Jesus within the 1,000 year rule. They will be totally beyond temptation for all Eternity. Satan is allowed back in at the end of the 1,000 years. Rev.20:7-9 to lead much of mankind numbered as the sands of the sea to the battle of Gog, and Magog.
A “Thus Saith The Lord”is the best answer. 1 Thess. 4: 16, 17 says,”For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise FIRST; THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE and remain shall be CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, with them IN THE CLOUDS TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR; and so shall WE ever be with the Lord.” Amen.
That’s odd that you try and present this verse as Christians being preserved thru the tribulation, when Rev.13:7 shuts that silly view down harshly.
It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.
Revelation 13:7
learn the age u live in.
I agree. I never believed in pre trib. That has never been how God worked.
I do believe in mid trib. Yeshua will come before His wrath spills out and take us home.

you all are looking for the Anti-Christ. We bible believers are looking for Jesus Christ. Hang in there sunshine.
they will meet the Antichrist,since they claim they arent saved now.
religious people NEVER and I mean NEVER< know what they believe.
BODY of Christ saved in the age of GRACE< AGE we are currently in. THIS AGE does NOT mix with the next age, NO ONE SAVED GOES into it.
No BOdy of Christ found in the TRIB.
the GRACE GOSPEL isnt preached in the TRIB for the age of GRACE ended. TRIB goes back to law and grace and law never mix.
the JEWS will be preaching there the KING IS COMING BACK< not that Christ died was buried and rose again.
time to learn which age u are in.
Seriously seriously? Then what in the world are the two witnesses here for?
Show me your words with scriptures
