Bible, war in middle east
you know, you've got to be down right willfully ignorant not to see that the veracity of the Bible as a divinely inspired history book is continually upholden. In fact it is upholden in bloodshed, so you can read red on white how its prophecies come true. The Bible tells you past history, present history, and future history. It doesn't just predict the future. It makes it.
You don't believe that? Let's see. How do you explain Jewish history ancient and modern perfectly mapping unto all relevant Bible prophecies? Go read'em you lazy fool. You'll read piles of junk before ever reading the whole Bible. Then a Bible-believer will ask you "have you read the Bible" and you'll say "yes" and he will ask you a few simple questions and you will be shown for what you are. A LIAR.
Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
So what d'ya got? Hegel? Marx? Fukuyama? Come on buster. Explain Jewish history to me. Explain the conditions in the Middle East, Mr. Middle Eastern studies, Mr. Conflict Management. You deride the Bible don't you? Let's see you bring in lasting peace down there. That conflict has been running for 4000 years. And it keeps on going exactly as the Bible says it will. But you don't believe that, Mr. there's a rational solution to all problems.
Listen. I'm talking to you people who want peace without the Prince of Peace. I'm talking to you self-righteous one-worlders. You're gonna get a shot. You'll get your hero. After I'm raptured outta here, you're gonna be panicked. Then a peace-man will show up. He'll make a grand entry and sleep with Rome. He will craft out a peace in the Middle East between Jews and Muslims and you Bible-rejecting suckers are going to hail him as Superman. You'll think he's Jesus Christ. He'll make the cover of every magazine on this earth. Then you'll take his mark. You Gentiles will take it. And the Jews too, thinking they're over there in Ezekiel 9 because they have rejected "the testimony of Jesus". And you know what's gonna happen then?
1Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
You'll suffer the judgments of God Almighty because you've believed every lie and rejected the truth of the Bible. And if you make it through the tribulation, you'll see the real Lord Jesus Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah show up with ten thousand of his saints, come down from the North to mount Sinai up the King's highway to the mount of Olives. And you will burn and melt from his presence.
Keep it coming.
God Bless
Matthew
I just hope for your sake you are 100% sure you are right about the church going through the tribulation. Because you are propounding this in public. I know 100% that the church does NOT go through it because I have divided the word of truth. And you know my position is not that of traditional dispensationalists who can only identify 1 rapture. Now I am 100% sure the church does not go through the tribulation and I preach that. If one of us is wrong, we will give account for it at the judgment seat of Christ. So I don't know how sure you are about your belief. But we are accountable.
Job 26:3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
I wish I could believe in the Pre-Trib rapture.
So many godly men believe it. I believe Dispensationalism was revolutionary in progressing theology and turning people to the deeper truths of God's word.
I believe that almost without exception, those who believe in the Pre-Trib rapture are sounder in doctrine than those who are Posttribulational.
However, I simply cannot square this doctrine with the evidence that I see in Scripture. I just cannot make the evidence fit.
Every Blessing in Christ
Matthew
first off, I'm sure you gathered from the post that we don't buy Roman Christianity. In fact Rome's gospel is a Satanic deceit according to the Bible; so we're way ahead of you on that one.
Secondly, you seem to be confused. Rome is the n1 enemy of a literal reading of the Bible. So you are walking Rome's line, and I know your father's name.
Most Christians, unfortunately, spiritualize everything in the Bible. It is everywhere literal except where it tells you it's not.
Thirdly,
Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
:25 Behold, I have told you before.
:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Deuteronomy 13:1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
:2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
:4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
:5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
Deu 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
2Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
1John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
May the Lord Jesus Christ have mercy upon your soul.
P.S. it's "symbolism", not "symbology"
