    When we have 2000 years of recorded church history to study along side of the scriptures, we must be able to reconcile the two. The historical accounts from Foxe's Book of Martyrs studied beside the scriptures paints a picture which in no way supports the "Pre-Trib Rapture THEORY". You can deny this all you want to, but the facts are still the facts. Did you even listen to the message before you commented on it? Maybe you ought to listen to it first, and then please feel free to make your objections.

    God bless

    Rapture 2021: Final Countdown to Pentecost! Convergence! ~ The Return of the King ~ May 3, 2021



    Interesting stuff, this guy gets his theory from research of Jewish calendar and such. Finding many video's on saying a date and the year 2021.


    Now me something I find interesting is the Psalms 90:10 & the math when referring what Jesus said about the generation in the fig tree parable.

    Psalms 90:10: The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they be eighty years, yet is their labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. {This is a prophecy.} Moses wrote this.

    End time things happening. ~ Verse: This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. (Fig Tree parable)

    Israel becomes a Nation: May - 1948 ~
    52 + 18 = 70 ~ The days of our lives are seventy years;
    2000 2018 70 years a generation.
    2018 + 10 yrs = 2028 ~ and if by reason of strength they be eighty years
    2028 - 7 year Great Tribulation (yet is their labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off.)
    = 2021 ~ ( and we fly away'.) (Rapture)

    If anything, be watchful ("As it says in the Word"), make sure you are ready.

    We have passed the anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel according to the Hebrew (Biblical) calendar. Let's give God an extra 90 days, just in case. Any day would be just fine with me.

    My pretribulation brothers and sisters sometimes quote Revelation 3:10 as proof that we will be raptured out before the time of trouble, "Tribulation period."

    Rev 3:10 Because thou has kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon
    all the world, to try them that that dwell upon the earth.


    The modern definition for the word patience is to wait.
    Revelation defines patience as "Wait on Him" "Do not quit on Jesus. Do not walk away from Him.
    When Jesus is saying, "Because thou hast kept the word of my patience. He is saying, "Do not quit" "endure to the end."
    Indirectly He is saying, "Because you will go through much testing, but do not quit on Me, you will receive the crown of life."

    My pretribulation friends say we will be kept from the hour of temptation, that is, we will be kept out of the hour of testing which will come upon the whole earth (the Tribulation). Some wrongly believe that "kept/keep" means to remove before the Tribulation.

    Revelation 3:10 was spoken to the church at Philadelphia, Revelation 2:10 was spoken to the church at Smyrna.

    Rev 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer; Behold, THE DEVIL SHALL CAST SOME OF YOU INTO PRISON, that ye MAY BE TRIED; and YE SHALL HAVE TRIBULATION TEN DAYS: BE THOU FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH, and I will give thee the crown of life. The fate that awaited some in this church was bleak, but the Lord promises the crown of life to the faithful. Could it also not be said to us who are living in this hour?

    A tare is one who lives beside the wheat. Until the harvest they all look alike.

    Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, gather ye together first the tares,
    and bind them in bundles to burn them: but GATHER THE WHEAT INTO MY BARN.


    The TARES are all those outside of Christ (Rm8:9) and those (Rev6:15-17) who HID THEMSELVES IN THE DENS AND IN THE ROCKS OF THE MOUNTAINS; And said to the mountains and the rocks, Fall on us, and HIDE FROM THE FACE OF HIM THAT SITTETH ON THE THRONE, AND FROM THE WRATH OF THE LAMB: FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME; AND WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO STAND? Folks, this occurs at the end of the age, right before Armageddon, at our Lords second coming.

    It is very clear here when WE, the church, are caught up, GATHERED INTO HIS BARN, in Matthew 24:30-31.

    (30) "And than the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and than all the tribes (Tares) of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
    (31) "And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER HIS elect (Wheat) from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
    If you put God First, you have Him at Last.

    What You Need to Know About The Rapture of the Church: Part 1

    THE MEANING OF THE RAPTURE
    The next great event in prophecy is often referred to as the rapture. Some time ago I
    received a letter from a very upset viewer of the "Old Time Gospel Hour" TV program.
    In essence the letter read:
    "You people down there in Virginia bother me. Your choir sings songs about an event
    called the rapture. The TV preacher preaches sermons on the rapture. And you—
    you've actually written a book on the rapture. Now my concern is this: You folks are
    singing, preaching, and writing about a word that's not even found in the Bible!"
    In answering this letter I agreed that he was indeed correct, inasmuch as the word
    rapture is nowhere to be found among the 774,747 words in the King James Version of
    the Bible. But I then pointed out that neither are the words Trinity, demon, Bible, or
    grandfather mentioned in that version of the Word of God. But there is a Trinity, there
    are demons, grandfathers do exist, and the rapture is a reality!
    Actually, the word rapture is from rapere, found in the expression "caught up" in the
    Latin translation of 1 Thess. 4:17. However, if one so desires, the rapture could be
    scripturally referred to as the harpazo, which is the Greek word translated "caught up"
    in 1 Thess. 4:17. The identical phrase is found in Acts 8:39, where Philip was caught
    away by the Holy Spirit, and in 2 Cor. 12:2, 4, when Paul was caught up into the third
    heaven. Or if you'd rather, the rapture could be known as the allasso, from the Greek
    translated "changed" in 1 Cor. 15:51, 52. Allasso is also used in describing the final
    renewal and transformation of the heavens and the earth. (See Heb. 1:12.) So then,
    use whatever name suits your fancy. Of course, the important thing is not what you
    name it, but rather, can you claim it? That is, will you participate in it?
    Thus, the next scheduled event predicted in the Word of God will take place where the
    Savior himself appears in the air to catch up his own!

    What You Need to Know About The Rapture of the Church: Part 2

    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture View:
    This view holds that all believers will be caught up to meet Jesus in the air just
    prior to the Great Tribulation. The author of this book holds to the Pre-Trib view
    for the following reasons:
    1. The angel Gabriel explains the prophecy of the seventy weeks to
    Daniel (9:24-27), connecting this period of time (490 years, with
    the final seven years being the Great Tribulation) to the nation
    Israel! Inasmuch as the New Testament Church has not replaced
    Old Testament Israel (Rom. 11:1, 2, 26, 27; 1 Cor. 10:32), it can
    be concluded God will use these seven tribulational years to deal
    with His unfaithful wife (Old Testament Israel, see the entire book of
    Hosea), while the pure, chaste bride of Christ (New Testament
    Church, 2 Cor. 11:2) will be in the heavenlies, having no need of
    forgiveness and cleansing (Eph. 5:25-27).
    2. Paul affirms in 1 Thess. 1:10 and 5:9 that the church is to escape
    God's wrath.
    3. Jesus says the same thing in Rev. 3:10.
    3. John seems to place the Rapture in Rev. 4:1 and the beginning of
    the Great Tribulation in Rev. 6:1.
    4. Jesus promised to return and remove His people from the earth

    ops, did I miss something? Anybody else stayed behind too?
