There are no events prophesied in the OT to happen during the church era. The Church era or the grace age was a mistery to the OT and is a time gap in the timetable of prophecy. Therefore the events happening between REV6 and REV19 which have been foretold in the OT, will happen outside the Church era. So the church cannot be on earth those days. The forming of new Israel is partial fulfiilement of EZ36-37 as ACTS2 was for JOEL2, HEB8 for JER31. So the church and Antichrist cannot be together.

Ppl in the Greek is a Helenistic term for ppl....

[JesusHoldMyHand1]

@silentrunThe1st In the Rapture the Believers are taken BY Christ to the Father's House. We come back WITH Jesus at the 2nd Coming. Only the Born Again Believers will see the Lord at the Rapture. Every eye shall see Him at the 2nd Coming.

[JesusHoldMyHand1]

@parousia555 We meet Christ "in the air" in the clouds to go to the Father's House. That's where believers for the whole time of the Tribulation Period.  We are recieving our crowns and rewards, while all hell is going on down on earth. We come back WITH Christ at the 2nd Coming. Revelation 17:14 & Revelation 19:7-15. Why do you believers think we are going to suffer God's Wrath???? We already believe in Him. Read Letter the the Philadelphia Church Revelation 3:7-13 Pay attention to v10

[silentrunThe1st]

You read the end of this age..believers are removed and wicked left behind, so are you saying that there are 2 different instances where believers are left behind and another that says they will be taken away?

[parousia555]

1 Thessalonians 4

4:16

 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:

4:17 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.

The clouds in this verse refers to ppl, not atmospheric clouds, thus the air is a reference to the spirit, no rapture as u know it

False teaching pervades the dispensational 'futurist' view of biblical eschatology. Every Scripture that speaks of Jesus' Second Advent talks about it as being LOUD and VISIBLE. The wicked are slain when Jesus returns and the righteous living will witness the devastation. Then, the righteous dead are resurrected, and the righteous living are changed into their immortal, incorruptible bodies. The reign of Christ and his saints takes place in heaven, not earth, for 1,000 yrs.

Luke-21-verse 36

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. (JESUS himself spoke these words.)

This verse comes near the end of Luke-21 after Jesus speaks about the signs of the end times. Seems to me that it points to a rapture.
