Bible Note: Robert, Thanks for all the descriptive info regarding ancient middle-eastern marriage customs. I have a hard time, though, picturing the Lord and the raptured church enjoying seven days/years of intimacy while the tribulation saints are enduring the worst persecution of all time at the hands of the antichrist. Does this seem consistent to you? Thanks, Listener |
