In this continuing study I take a look at the Rapture Doctrine. Is this a Pre-Trib, as taught in most mainstream Churches are do Christians go through the Tribulation Period? I compare Thessalonians to Matthew 24 along with Revelation. I venture into Paul’s writings to explore what he has to say, along with what Yahweh says in Ezekiel. I also ask the listeners to grab a pencil and paper as we create charts for comparison as we get deeper into this study.
In this Part 9 I re-read 1 Thessalonians 4; 2 Thessalonians 2; I comment about the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple, Satan’s Temple, which is Luciferian; Revelation 13
Some of the verses/writings that I use: 1 Thess. 4:13-17; Romans 1Revelation 13:11-18
In this 1 Thess. 4:13-17, Paul answers their question about the dead, those that are asleep.
Note once again in verse 17 the word ‘air’. In the Greek this word is ‘ah-ayr’ NOT ‘oo-ran-os’ as in Matthew 6:26. BIG difference in the Greek manuscripts! Keep in mind that Paul was under the influence of the Holy Spirit, so Paul was NOT talking about a meeting in the sky!
Now the trumpet sound in verse 16 is the very same trumpet sound as Paul writes in 1 Corin. 15:52. Once again in 1 Corin. Paul is asked about the dead.
I start out in this study talking about Spiritual Decline
The decline and fall of nations is usually due to internal factors rather than external threats. Even though some may have fallen to barbarians, their demise ultimately came because of moral and spiritual weakness which manifested itself as military weakness. Historians have listed the stages in the decline of a nation. These should not be too surprising to any student of the Old Testament. The stages of decline parallel the stages through which the nation of Israel passed.
But neither should they surprise a student of the New Testament. In the opening chapter of the Apostle Paul's letter to the church in Rome, he traces a similar progression. In fact, Romans 1 shows the decline of a civilization from a societal perspective. Looking at the Hellenistic world of Paul’s time, he reflects on the progression of sin in a nation.
Discuss Romans 1 along with Revelation 13
Then I go into the 4 different stages to lead to spiritual decline
I discuss “Is the Holy Spirit dwelling in the Church?”
The timing of our gathering to Yahshua Messiah in relation to the man of sin being revealed:
So much more in this powerful study!
The timing of the revealing of the man of sinin relation to the restrainer being removed
Don’t end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.’
But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’
