Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
From the late Jack Kelley 03-15-2014 I’ve received several questions again about various rapture positions. Several of these questions have to do with the claim that in the Olivet Discourse (Matt. 24-25), Jesus, in effect, said the Church will have to endure all of the seven years of Daniel’s 70th Week, including the Great Tribulation.

The post Matthew 24 and the Pre-Trib Rapture :: By Jack Kelley appeared first on Rapture Ready.
Matthew seems to mention two people (or animals) where other Gospels mention just one, e.g.
two demon possessed men, in Matthew 8:28-34 (compare Mark 5:1-17 and Luke 8:26-39)
two blind men, in Matthew 9:27-31 and two more blind men, in M…
The story that we have in the gospels of Mark and Matthew (Mark 14:53-65; Matthew 26:57-68) of the Trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin seems to contradict many passages in the Mishna in the tractate Sanhedrin, like, for example:

If the phrase "you have heard" refers to the Scriptures, why is hating one’s enemy not written in the Old Testament.
Matthew 5:43 ASV Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy:
Matthew 4:19 says: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men!
And, indeed Peter becomes a good fisher of people once that, in Acts 2:41, it is written: "and about three thousand were added to their number that day."
I was…
Matthew 5:29
If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
Why not left eye? Why not just eyes? What’s the spiri…
[Matthew 16:27-28] For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. 28 Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they …
There are several references on left/right in the Bible. In general to be at right is good but to be at left is bad.
See, for example, Matthew 25:33
"He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left."
What is the o…
In Matthew 28:1, 5-6, 8, an angelic message brought joy to Mary Magdalene by informing her that Jesus rose (NKJV, emphasis added):
Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came t…
The background verse here is this:
[Psa 118:26 NKJV] (26) Blessed [is] he who comes in the name of the LORD! We have blessed you from the house of the LORD.
The fulfillment appears here:
[Mat 21:1-11 NKJV] (1) Now when they drew near Je…
But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things
that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, “Hosanna to
the son of David!” they were indignant, and they said to him, “Do you
