1 | Rapture | 1 Thess 4:17 | Vintage68 | 216817 | ||
Hi John -- Thank you! Your question: "Implying that somethings need to be accomplished before the Rapture can happen. I cant say for sure of course and I don't believe for a moment that anyone else can either, but I don't believe there are. :-)" Your question, kind of drags it pack out on the field of speculation. It stands to reason, at least to me, if everything was accomplished, we would not be here:-) Everything Jesus needed to do is finished, as he said. But time is marching on until the time of the end. As you have said, we just don't know. I concur on your non - belief of the single event. Vintage68 |

Vintage, I don't really see why we wouldn't be here if nothing needs to be accomplished. He certainly could be just waiting as He has done in His great mercy and loving patience so many times before, for the iniquity of sinners to be complete (Genesis 15:16). And I didn't say I believed that there is not a single event, though I may lean that way I'm really not sure about it, but I merely implied that there is that possibility. It sure would put a lot of debate to rest though! By the way, Vintage, though I don't mind too much, I still don't really like to get into a discussion about Eschatology because, as you also have pointed out, (and especially here on the forum) it just calls for too much speculation. :-) I do for the most part like your reasoning on this though, it make sense to me too. And not too complicated too. I don't think our Father intended it to be that hard. I like what old Dr. H. A. Ironside said, at least I think it was him who said: "Our loving Father don't put the cookies on the top shelf where his kids cant reach them." Or something like that. :-) Thanks! John |
