Thats Ok, Tim! I take all the blame in our healthy, loving, and interesting discussion! :) Nolan |

3182 | Order of events at the 2nd Coming? | 1 Thess 4:17 | Makarios | 14886 | ||
Hello Tim, So the believers who have died will go straight to heaven after the rapture with imperishable bodies and the people who are 'caught up in the air' with them who are alive will remain on the earth to remain with Christ? Is this your understanding if I am following you correctly? Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |

Dear EdB and Tim, Is it possible that not all people will take part in the Battle of Armageddon? If only Israel's enemies or only the "kings of the whole world" (Rev. 16:14) fight, then this would explain the presence of other people on the earth whom Christ and the redeemed will rule over. Any thoughts? Blessings, Nolan |

3184 | Order of events at the 2nd Coming? | 1 Thess 4:17 | Makarios | 14894 | ||
Hello Tim, That was pretty much my question.. So I am correct in understanding that those with glorified bodies will be present and "ruling" with and among those who are "mortal" but believers in Christ. Blessings, Nolan |

Hello Ed, Are you saying that before this man declares himself God and when the Lord intervenes again (as He did in the six day war), then that is when the rapture will occur, since we will be spared from all of this according to the "pre-trib" view? Blessings! Nolan |

Hello Tim, Does Zechariah 14 help at all (especially verse 16) in explaining that there will be people left on earth to "rule"? Blessings, Nolan |

3188 | Order of events at the 2nd Coming? | 1 Thess 4:17 | Makarios | 14922 | ||
Hello EdB! Yes, I was wondering exactly when the rapture occurs, based on a "pre-trib" perspective.. However, I am "mid-trib" in my view, since 1 Thess. 4:16-17 seems to take place (the rapture) at the moment of the return of Christ, and 2 Thess. 2:8 states that the Lord will slay the antichrist "by the appearance of His coming". In other words, the death of antichrist and the rapture occur almost at the same time! This is basically my view, and this best explains why I am "mid-trib" instead of "pre-trib." Also, how would one explain the presence of the Two Witnesses based on a "pre-trib" persuasion? These are all interesting questions, my friend! :) Blessings, Nolan |

Dear charis, With all of the knowledge that I have now gained, I will forego my future plans to hunt Tanuki on weekends! I will not eat Tanuki nor recommend it to others, since by doing so I will violate the recently adopted but twice removed command from Sir saint Doubleday who seemed to quote the Apocrypha by saying, "Thou shalt not eat Tanuki!" Well, he went to Mount Fuji one day and nobody heard from him again.. :) This is what I have learned my friend! And I won't forget to take my blanket, especially on interstellar adventures.. Grace to you, Nolan |

Sorry Debbie! The discussion was a little too interesting for me to resist.. :) When you mentioned the horses, a certain book came to mind, C.S. Lewis' "The Great Divorce".. And how the angel almost had to wrestle the "lizard" or sin away from the man, so that he would be "strong enough" to be able to enter into heaven and be able to leap onto his horse (that had wings)! Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |

Greetings Grafted In! Yes, my screen name means 'blessed' in Greek. Matthew 24:34 is a very interesting verse! To answer your question about Pre-Wrath, pages 430-431 of "The Sign" (1) state that according to Isaiah 20:24-25 and 56:6-8, there may be a few Gentile children of God that survive the Battle of Armageddon, and these will be brought to Mount Zion (Micah 7:10,16-17; Isaiah 66:16,18) during the 45 day Restoration Period to stand before Christ at the "Sheep and Goat Judgment" that will occur on the first day of the Millennium.

Greetings Fcs375! Yes, I agree: even though I don't think Christians ought to argue about when the rapture occurs, I do think every Christian needs to examine the biblical evidence and come to a conviction (on their own) on the issue. If one thing can be said for the Pre-tribulation view, it stresses an immediacy of a repentant heart and faith at the time of Christ's return: Luke 18:8 "I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" Blessings to you, Makarios |

3196 | Should Christian Churches unite | 1 Thess 5:2 | Makarios | 13141 | ||
Hello Tim! Perhaps I misinterpreted President Bush's message.. I was under the understanding that all stem cell research would cease. It doesn't surprise me in the least, compared with this country's recent history. Yes, this is disappointing news if they are going ahead with the research using our tax dollars. Regardless of what they decide, this country needs prayer. Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |

3197 | Should Christian Churches unite | 1 Thess 5:2 | Makarios | 13361 | ||
Dear Tim, Here is some interesting information on stem cell research.. "Newsletter of the American Life League: COMMUNIQUE - a pro-life news update From: Judie Brown August 17, 2001 Vol. 11, No. 37 ----------------------------------------- Bush, embryonic stem cells and personhood ...Through the use of his carefully weighed rhetoric, the president consistently worked to undermine the fundamental, irrefutable scientific fact at the core of this issue: that human life begins at conception/fertilization and that there is never an acceptable reason for intentionally taking an innocent human life. While even supposedly presenting the pro-life perspective in portions of his presentation, he used terms such as "potential life," "cluster of cells," "seeds," "byproduct," and strategically omitted "human" in key places serving to obfuscate these scientific and ethical realities. In addition, funding in research on cell lines already established through the destruction of human embryos imputes an unethical complicity on our government and our country. For the first time in the history of the United States, the federal government will support research which may benefit others relying upon the destruction of innocent, defenseless human persons who were killed. This allows our nation's research to continue to cultivate a disrespect for human life. Furthermore, what will happen if initial research proves to be promising? Virtually all scientists agree that these 60 cell lines will not be sufficient for the research needed. What will President Bush do when researchers may be on the verge of a breakthrough and approach him, asking for more cell lines to complete the task? According to this precedent, he will have to provide more funding. He has opened this door and the slippery slope is indeed intact and functional. We have every reason to believe that he would break his commitment again. Finally, this sad event once again illustrates to the pro-life community that the sole protector of innocent human life is objective truth. When politicians attempt to win our support while compromising objective moral principles, it just sets a precedent for future defeat and the continued destruction of innocent human life. Only when we first require adherence to objective truth from politicians will we be able to protect innocent human life from the moment of conception/fertilization.

3198 | Prayer for the Terrorist Attack | 1 Thess 5:3 | Makarios | 15953 | ||
Greetings all Forum Members.. As the "Most Active User" among your company, I invite the opportunity for us all to come to prayer right now at this moment.. Let us take a moment of silence. Please pray with me.. "Dear Sovereign Lord Jesus in heaven, we come before You and before the Father and before the Holy Spirit, we lift up to You the events that have happened this morning on the Eastern Coast of the United States, that You will be present and active in the care of all of those who have been injured and who have lost their lives (and their families) and all of those who are involved or will be involved in this catastrophic tragedy that was created to engender only fear in the hearts and lives of this great nation. Lord, we pray that you will be with our leaders and with President Bush and with those who protect our nation that you will help to guide, inspire and be with those who attempt to gain the information needed in our country's defense against the very REAL threat of terrorism. Dear Lord, we pray that you will blanket this nation with your protection and peace, and that you will calm the fears of this nation with the peace that passes all understanding. The entire nation has been shocked and is now very attentive to what has happened, and we pray that You would be glorified, even in this horrific event. Lord Jesus, we also pray for those who perpetrated this diabolical event, that you would extend your peace and patience to them also, so that they may reconsider any future militaristic threat or course of action to our blessed nation. Thank You Lord Jesus, and we pray and have faith that You would receive our prayer! For we love and worship a God that is ALIVE and ACTIVE and will come again soon! We praise You! In Your holy name we pray, Amen." Nolan Keck, on behalf of the Christian men and women who participate in and sponsor the Study Bible Forum. |
