Somethinig else for you to think about on the pre-trib veiw. When Christ instructed John to write the letters to the Church in Rev., He said to tell the church this. Rev. 3:10 "Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come...

Of course it's literal.

In 1 Thes. 4 Paul explains the Rapture/Resurrection is coming, in chp. 5 he begins telling us to be prepared for it. Then in 5:9 he tells us this, "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ," Most of us Dispensationalists believe Paul is telling...

Regarding the 1000 years, it's mentioned 6 times in Rev. 20. 3 of those times it specifically says, "when/till the 1000 years are finished/expired.

Don't you think it would be a good idea to have a full understanding of exactly what you don't believe?

If you want to understand the Dispensationalist view of the Rapture I can show it to you in detail. At least you will know what to argue, but until you understand it all the way through your arguments will go around in circles. If you will just save the arguments till later we can move on...

LOL! I've read and studied the Scripture all of my life and I've learned, if nothing else, to follow the instructions of the Lord. That's what I'm doing, Cathode.

Here's the twist and hard to understand if it's not pointed out. The first resurrection in Rev. 20:6 and the martyrs of the Great Tribulation are included in the first resurrection. We can go through that too, when you're ready.

Note: The first resurrection in Rev. 20:6 is the same resurrection of 2 Thes. 2 that Paul gave us.

Let's go through it. In Rev. 20: 6 we have the first resurrection, and we know this is the resurrection of the saved. It plainly says the second death has no power over them. We also know these will reign with Christ for 1000 years. Vs. 7 the 1000 years have ended, and Satan is loosed from...

I thank God for them also! I don't know when or how they've helped me but I'm sure they have in some way serving God's purpose.

When I started a real down to earth study I had to set the "what if's" to the side. That's what you have here the what if's.

I get the part of the angels serving us, but the part of you calling on them, no sir, that a Catholic myth, unbiblical.

Ok, you call on the angels and I'll call on their Boss as I was instructed to do.

There is a first resurrection and a second resurrection separated by 1000 years. The first resurrection is given by Paul in 2 Thes. 2 for all the saved back to Adam. The second resurrection is the resurrection that takes place 1000 years after the first and is the resurrection of the lost...

There are lots of things I can't show you plainly in Scripture. On the other hand, I have studied it from every angle know to man, and the 1000 years has got to be literal. But don't take my word for it, dig in and see for yourself.

Now you're making some sense of it all! You're admitting that the angels are sent, not called on by you. We are as saved right now as we will ever be, but there's a checkup my friend. And I've given it to you.

Somethinig important you need to know! We are not heirs until we are glorified, and that's if we hold the faith to the end. Rom. 8:17 "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Jumping the gun there aren't you, Cathode. Are we yet made heirs? Heb. 3:14 "For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;" Have we held on to the faith to the end yet?

The last day of what? Could it be the last day of the Church Age that takes place at the Rapture when the Church is taken out of this world?
