Subject: Order of events at the 2nd Coming? |
Bible Note: Hello EdB, Will God really allow the City that bears his name, Jerusalem (1 Kings 11:36), to be conquered by this united front against Israel, when Ezekiel 38 and 39 says that the invaders will be destroyed? This is not a "debate", my friend! I am honestly seeking an answer here to this question. Or is it that Christ will come in response to Anti-Christ's exaltation of himself as "the messiah" (2 Thess. 2:4)? I also agree with Tim, the Calvinism/Arminism debate definitely has the potential for 'volatility' since it centered around salvation, but this current discussion of "last things" does not, and I do not see how anyone should get 'fired up' about disagreeing with the chronology of these events, since it has absolutely nothing to do with salvation (The only thing is: we must be prepared! :-) ). Blessings my friend! Nolan |
