Ricky
I’d love to watch it.
Even though I don’t. …..
Oh well….
70AD – no
Rapture – yes
Later, 2nd coming – yes.
Jon Ray
#shoutout to all the rapture ready people out there…
Ricky Grimsley
Sorta on the same subject…what world event would make you pretribbers think the tribulation had started and you had been wrong about pretrib?
David Lewayne Porter
I am not a pre-tribber.
In case you don’t know there are 9 distinct rapture “theories”.
Pre trib
Mid trib
Post trib
Pre wrath
Mid wrath
Post wrath
And the other three I don’t care about enough to give them the respect to remember them.
There are more than just A or B.
There are more than pre trib or post trib.
See some topics have a middle ground.
Ricky Grimsley
I realize. I am pre-wrath
David Lewayne Porter
Wow, we agree on something else.
I will win you over before our feet leave the ground. ………
Jon Ray
God is all knowing because he knows when is the rapture 🙂
Ricky Grimsley
God is all-knowing because he knows all that can be known.
Jon Ray
But obviously the rapture cannot be known for no one knows it but God. Thus God knows even the unknown 🙂 At least so The BIBLE says
David Lewayne Porter
Exactly,
Could it be any different when He said this of His power…
Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
And I submit
The things that are unknown to man, are known to God.
(And a few, very few men
Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
– but they are His servants and they are His prophets).
Charles Page
Perry Stone don’t know when the world will come top an end???
Only He and God know that.
Jon Ray
What we all know is that the world did not come to an end 70 AD
Charles Page
The OT Jewish economy came to an end along with the devil and his angels. That host is in hell.
Ricky Grimsley
Cmon charles page. Have you never see a demon get cast out of someone? “These signs follow them that believe….( but only for 37 more years)?
Charles Page
never have and never will. I have seen active religious imaginations at work creating fear in people.
Ricky Grimsley
Well i saw a woman slither down the aisle like a snake so that kinda convinced me.
Charles Page
that is a choreographed dance movement –
Jon Ray

Agreed (slither like a snake).
I saw a young lady about 14 years old being held down flat of the floor by all 4 limbs (held by 250# – 300# men). She was throwing them around like rag dolls and slamming their heads together. I have seen them throw up black gel that quivered in the floor and laughed (green gooey gel doing the same).
Lights come out of people, go into the walls and the walls laugh. Seen a person delivered of demons in my yard and at that exact moment my neighbors family pet and tamed dog went beserk acting wild, crazy, growling, snarling. It had to be put-down, remember Matt chapter 8?
And there are many more than I will post here.
They are more than JUST active religious imaginations at work.
The same could be said of prophecies recorded after the fact..
I think I just got my answer concerning some things Charles.
Charles Page
Products of religious imagination going back to RC
David Lewayne Porter
I am soooooo glad I have a mind and The Spirit to direct me into the completeness of God and that I do not have to follow men controlled by a limited view of God, His Power, His Authority and working. Men that underestimate their adversary – the devil.
It is funny that they hold to the gifts if the Spirit that makes “themselves” look good and fill special while discounting the other aspects of God.

One event has no precursors and the other has calendar events leading up to it.
