1 | Peace and safety or great tribulation? | Luke 17:26 | CDBJ | 62083 | ||
There are verses of Scripture that indicate that every thing will be just fine here on Earth just before the day of the Lord. Then there are verses that say just the opposite; so what gives? Luke 17:26-28 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. [27] They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. [28] Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 1 Thes. 4:16-18 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thes. 5:1-4 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. [2] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. [3] For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Yet with this in mind Jesus makes a statement that would seem to contradict these thoughts. Matthew 24:21-22 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. This doesn’t sound like peace and safety to me unless there are different groups of people being mentioned? |

2 | Peace and safety or great tribulation? | Luke 17:26 | Jameson | 62113 | ||
In the days of Noah, there was peace and safety. There was peace and safety for those who obeyed God. Today, peace and safety is in the spiritual realm--what happens here on earth to our bodies is not relevant--we are safe in the arms of God (much better, even, than an ark, wouldn't you say?) on our way to a much better place. |

3 | Peace and safety or great tribulation? | Luke 17:26 | CDBJ | 62131 | ||
I think it would be advisable for you to read 1 Thess. 5:3 again I think you have your groups mixed up. 1 Thes. 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. This doesn’t sound like the people of God to me? |

4 | Peace and safety or great tribulation? | Luke 17:26 | Jameson | 62136 | ||
Very astute observation--1Thessalonians 5:3 is not about the children of God. Luke 17:26, however, is. The original query was in relation to Luke 17:26, I believe, which is the context of my response; therefore, I believe it would be advisable for you to not apply diverse Scriptures about believers and non-believers in an attempt to form a perspective of God's Love. Luke 17:26 and 1Thessalonians 5:3 are on opposite sides of the spectrum as they relate to the justice of Almighty God. |

Who said anything about God’s love? Please show me where the children of God are found in Luke 17:26, the next verse clearly points out that they were destroyed therefore they were unbelievers. That sure isn’t Noah and the other seven believers. The peace and safety crowed are unbelievers just as 1Thess. points out. 1 Thes. 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. The believers are found in the following verse. 1 Thes. 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Paul makes it sound like we will know when the day is approaching. But ye, means the believers that are alive at that time. CDBJ |
