221 | Prewrath position? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14921 | ||
This will be the end of what is called the times of the gentiles, when the rapture takes place. The period that Paul speaks of in Rom. 25:26-27 For I do not want you to be uninformed of this mystery so that you will not be wise in your own estimation that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “The Deliverer will come out from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.” “This is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.” The answer to your question is a definite YES!

I don't see it that way. The wrath that is taking place during the lasts 42 months, is not from God but from the Wicked one. The affliction that those believers will go through is going to be dealt with along with the affliction of those in II Thess. 1:6-10 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. The only ones to escape, are the ones that are sealed in Rev.7:1-9 Just before the rapture. Did you notice the timing of the rapture in II Thess. 1;10 (WHEN) CDBJ |

Rev.12:12 "For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time." This is his last fling. The second coming of Christ is not a verb but a noun, it is the Greek word, PAROUSIA. It is an event just like His first coming which took aprox. 33 years. His second parousia starts with the rapture of the church and last thru the final battle of Armageddon. The wrath of God by definition is against the wicked, when “The lord alone will be exalted” Isa.2:27 The wrath of Satan, Antichrist, “exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he take his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God” II Thess. 2:4 Scripture teaches that Antichrist persecution will be aginst the elect of God (Matt.24:21-22), against His saints (Rev. 13:7) against those “who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus”(Rev. 12:17)! Look at (Zeph. 1:17b-18) Believers will never be on the receiving end of God's wrath. CDBJ |

Nolan-- Sorry about Isa.2:27, it must have been a senior moment where I meant to hit the #1 key but hit the 2 instead. It should have been Isa.2:17 where the Lord only will be exalted in that day. As for the believers not going through the wrath of God, Check out I Thess. 1:10. I think I should have been in bed when I was up trying to communicate on the pc; the old noggin doesn't work too well when it's tired. "Lord teach me to know how frail I am" Yours in Christ CDBJ | ||||||

When it comes to Eschatology, if believers have to be put in some kind of a pigeon hole, pretrib., midtrib., posttrib. They are overlooking a position, and that is prewrath. We all know that, whatever people stand on, in regard to the last days, that they get it from Scripture. They can't all be right, or can they? We know that God's Word is infallible; yet we appear to see contradictions. Jim says that 1/3 is right, Bill says it's 1/8, so who is right? They are both right, but they don't know how to tie it together until the see the common denominator, which is 24. The prewrath position is that common denominator. I've always been interested as to what will happen in the future ever since I trusted in Jesus about 35 years ago. I use to spend hours pouring over books on Eschatology, but there were always loose ends that didn't fit just right. Whenever I went into the local Christian bookstore I would always look in the prophecy section to see if there was anything that I hadn't read yet. I came across a book called The Rapture Question Answeered plain and simple by Robert VanKampen. On the same shelf was a book called the Pre-wrath Rapture of the Church By Marvin Rosenthal. I hadn't read either one of these, so I bought them both. In reading the first book, my eyes were opened to truth that I had never seen before. This guy found the common denominator, and I didn't want the book to end. Upon reading the second book, I was dumbfounded; He was in perfect agreement with the first book. I learned that VanKampen had a book that went into minute details, called The Sign. Well needless to say I had to get a copy of that and read it. It has over 500 pages with a full color fold out of illustrations. The in-depth study on the book of Revelation is very clear, which in my mind was hard to do. By the time I had finished the book I was no longer pretribulationial, but prewrath. Short of me writing you a 500 page note, prewrath would be hard for me to explain in its entirety. CDBJ |

The 3 major positions only use bits and peaces to try and prove thier point. In the prewrath format, all of the verses of Scripture, that pertain to end time events, are in perfect harmony and there are no contradictions, from the book of Genesis through Revelation; seeing that, was enough to convince me. If all the peaces fit around a peace of puzzle and the color is right, you must have the right peace. I have several friends that have read the book, who believed very firmly in the pretribulation concept, that have become prewrath, in there eschatology. It is hard to dispute something when it all adds up. The so-called imminency of the Christ return is relatively new, as far as church history goes: The prewrath concept was actually taught by Paul.

If a person must be baptized in (water) before they get to Heaven, do you suppose that Christ might have made a mistake when He told the thief on the cross next to Him that, this day you will be with me in paradise? CDBJ | ||||||
228 | is the NIV a good bible to read? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 16053 | ||
My church uses the NIV, I don't like it though. I like to study in the NAS, yet about everything that I have comitted to memory is out of the KJV. I actually use a lot of dif. translations including an Interlinear Greek - English New Testament. When it comes to word studies W.E. Vine has a book that is an expository of new Testament words, that's hard to beat for starters. Just remember that the foot notes in any Bible help, but they are not inspired. The best why to understand what Scripture is saying, is by checking it out with other scripture on the same subject. I hope this may help. CDBJ | ||||||

I am very fortunate in this respect because I don't have to worry about heaven any more. You see God promised me that if I would just trust in His Son Jesus Christ, and what He did for me on the cross for my salvation, that He would give me eternal life with Him in heaven as a gift. But He informed me that it must be an undivided trust in His Son, i.e. that I not depend on (anything) that I have done or will plan to do. Now the nice part is, I can't loose it, because I didn't do anything to get it, so I can't do anything to loose it. It all depends on Jesus and what He did for me. Now since Jesus is my Savior he will not be my judge. What I learned was that Jesus paid the price for all my sins, past, present and future, there wasn't a sin that He didn't pay for as long as I believe in Him. I learned that he not only paid for my sins, but for the sins of the whole World. So now it is not a problem of sin, between man and God, but what do you think of Jesus. There is actually one sin that Christ couldn't pay for and that is the sin of rejecting Him. I.e. not believing in, trusting in, or relying on Him solely, as being the only way to get to heaven. (Note) John 14:6 Jesus said to him “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” One neat part is that when God makes a promis, He can't take the promis back because if He did, the promis would have been a lie, and we all know that God can't lie, if He could He wouldn't be God! I even wrote a poem about it if you would care to read it? CONFIDENCE Are you sure of your eternal home, where you'll spend some billion years? Does the thought of death and it's permanence, arouse your doubts and fears? The Bible cites a dreadful place that doubters won't admire, They'll be cast out by an angry God, into the lake of fire! There's torment there both day and night, no help or place to run. People languish endless years, for rejecting God's dear Son. Jesus is the only way to avoid this awful place. He came and died a horrid death to save the human race. Now knowing this is not enough, your faith must be involved. By trusting in the work of Christ, the curse of sin's absolved. You can claim eternal life, for the Lord has made the promise. He died for you then rose again; don't be as doubting Thomas. You can't appease a Holy God by the puny things you do. God came down in the form of man and paid the price for you. Now Jesus sits on His throne on high, to Him all knees will bend. He will be the Judge to curse you, or, as your Savior He'll defend. Oh listen now the Bible heeds; don't add to the work of Christ! If you depend on what you've done, He'll not be your sacrifice. Trust in Christ, not your present ways; give God the credit due. He says He'll share His home with such, and give His peace to you. By Charles D. Bickett Jr. |

231 | Possible Lockman Forum Improvement #1? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 17881 | ||
I have looked at other forums and this one is a snap next to some of the others. I think that we are fortunate to be able to use what we have. I am (frexable), and I don't know what all it entails. You said to keep other suggestions for another thread, but as for me I need a spell check. CDBJ |

It is interesting to note in Matt. 3:11,12, that John the Baptist said I use water (just a ritual) but, in speaking of Jesus, He will baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire (the real thing). It will be one or the other. A person will receive the unifying baptism of God's Spirit, for eternal bliss, or they will receive his baptism of fire, for eternal punishment. Verse 12 confirms the fact of whom the baptisms are for, the Holy Spirit for believers i.e. the wheat: or the baptism of fire for the unbelievers i.e. the chaff. There are two types of baptism, wet ones and dry ones. The wet ones are just ritual, but the dry ones are real! This is the message that John was trying to put across. Only a true believer can practice the ritual and cause it to mean anything. That is why in Matt. 3:8 that John said bring forth fruits meet for repentance. (because if you don't it won't mean anything) Repentance and faith are two sides of the same coin. CDBJ |

235 | Body/soul/spirit? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 18158 | ||
The spirit is what died when Adam ate of the forbidden fruit. It is only by means of the spirit that a person can have fellowship with God. To simplify it, the human spirit is like a receiver to absorb and understand God's signals or message to us, and visa versa. Just like a television set receives the signals that are constantly going through your house, it makes the signals real to you with a picture and sound. If you would try to tell a person who knows nothing about television or has never seen television or heard a radio, that there are signal passing through your house and you tell them how much you are enjoying them, they would think it was foolishness and that you must have a screw loose or something. Thus we have I Cor. 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but (conjunction of contrast) unto us which are saved it (the cross where Jesus paid the price required) is the power of God. It is interesting to note, that the word for death, in the Greek language is THANATOS, it actually means separation. It does not mean that consciousness stops. The soul will live on forever, once it is born, it is the real you. Either your soul will live with God, in eternal bless because you have received His gift of eternal life, that His Son Jesus paid for; or it will live in a place of eternal torment for rejecting God's free gift. At any rate the only thing that can send a person to the lake of fire, is the sin of rejecting Jesus Christ as their savior. Like the song says, Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe. CDBJ |

Try I John 5:10-13 I have eternal life right here and now and I know it, because God Himself has given me the down payment of His Spirit. Only the ones that have received this from God know it. This was not revealed to me by any man. If this is not a reality to some, I would suggests that they seek God with their whole heart, in His Word to find it out, because if they don't they will be eternally lost. All this came about by putting all my faith and trust in Jesus Christ and what He did for me on the cross. That was the purpose of the book of John, John 20:31 But these things have been written so that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name. If this wasn't satisfactory to God, Jesus would still be in the grave, but He is not, He is alive and He is seated at the right hand of God the Father and He is the only one that rose from the dead, and is alive for evermore; so this justifies my faith in Him!!!

Casiv, I neglected to mention in my last thread, the old mind isn't working as well as it use too, that there is the logic view point to look at. Just taking John 3:16 in to account, if God wasn't going to be satisfied with Jesus Christ, why would He have sent Him in the first place? CDBJ | ||||||

I don't know where you got the idea that I was insulting you by name-calling or what ever. All that I ask was the nature of the name that you are using on the forum, if it was a sort form of CHEZEV, which is the Old Testament Hebrew word for (vision). I am sorry you mistook this for something else. From all that you were telling us about the Old Testament I thought maybe you were a Hebrew buff, my mistake! CDBJ | ||||||
