How do you ignore the clear time line in the tribulation, in light of this scripture: Mt 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
For those that know there is a very clear time line in the tribulation.
WHO IS THE WOMAN OF REVELATION 12 AND WHO ARE HER OFFSPRING??
Galatians 4:22,23,28,30,31: Abraham had 2 sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the Free Woman. His son by the slave woman was born in the ordinary way; but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a "PROMISE"!....You:rolleyes: brother, like Isaac {Sarah's son}, are children of "PROMISE"....The slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the Free Woman's son. Therefore, brothers, **WE**:rolleyes: are not children of the slave woman {Hagar} but of the Free "WOMAN"{Sarah}!! According to Galatians 3:16 Jesus is also the offspring of Abraham and Sarah {See Rev 12:5!!}
Just before the coming of 666 and the 1260-day or 42-month Great Tribulation in Revelation 13:1 we read in Rev 12:17; 13:1,5,7: Then the dragon {Satan} was enraged at the woman {Sarah} and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring--THOSE:rolleyes: WHO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDMENTS AND HOLD TO THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS!!" And the dragon {Satan} stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw Beast {666} coming out of the Sea {Or Abyss or Hell as per Rev 11:7 & 17:8 & Luke 8:31}.....The Beast will exercise his authority for 42 months..... He will be given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he will be given authority over **EVERY** tribe, people, language and nation.
And so according to Rev 12:6,14 Satan will attack some of God's saints but they will be protected in God's sanctuary in the wilderness for 1260 days. Then in Rev 12:17 Satan will attack the rest of God's saints:rolleyes: �WHO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDMENTS AND HOLD TO THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS� **just before** the coming of 666 and the beginning of the 1260-day or 42-month Great Tribulation.
And so Revelation 12 also shows that the pre-trib rapture of God's courageous saints at the beginning of the Great Tribulation is a ridiculous fairy tale. Since some of God's saints will be protected in the wilds for 1260 days and Satan will make war with the rest of God's saints:rolleyes: WHO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDMENTS AND HOLD TO THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS JUST **BEFORE** THE COMING OF 666!!
���� 2 Peter 3:7,10-13: The present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the **DAY OF JUDGMENT** and destruction {See Matt 25:31-33,41,46} of ungodly men. But **THE DAY OF THE LORD**{See I Thess 4:16,17; 5:2-4 above} will come like a thief {To unbelievers}. The heavens will DISAPPEAR with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be burned up�
You:rolleyes: ought to live holy and godly lives as *YOU wait eagerly {See NIV footnote to 2 Peter 3:12} for the **DAY OF GOD** to come� But in keeping with God�s promise **WE** are looking forward to a New Heaven and New Earth, the Home of Righteousness.� Acts 3:21: �Jesus must remain in Heaven until the TIME comes to **RESTORE� EVERYTHING**!!�
2 Thess 1:1,6-10: �To the CHURCH* of the Thessalonians...God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you:rolleyes:, and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen **WHEN** the Lord Jesus is **REVEALED** from heaven in blazing fire with His powerful angels {See Matt 16:27; 24:30,31}. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction {See Matt 25:31-33,41,46} and shut out from the presence of the Lord ON THE DAY HE COMES TO BE GLORIFIED IN HIS HOLY PEOPLE and to be marveled at among all those:rolleyes: who have believed. This includes you:rolleyes:, because you believed out testimony to you!!�
Here God's Word contradicts the pre-trib belief that the church saints will be raptured 3 � to 7 years BEFORE the judgment of the lost! Compare the Last Day verses John 6:40 and John 12:48 and John 5:28,29!!
I Corinthians 15:20,22-24: �But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the FIRSTFRUITS of those who have fallen asleep.... For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive, But each in his own turn.: Christ, the FIRSTFRUITS {On the day of FIRSTFRUITS}; then, when He comes, those who belong to Him. THEN the END will come, when He hands over the Kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.�{ As per I Peter 3:10-12 above & Rev 17:14 & Rev 19:11-21} Acts 3:21: �Jesus must remain in Heaven until the TIME comes to **RESTORE EVERYTHING**!!�
Matthew 24:35: Jesus says, �Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will never pass away!�:applause:
