Subject: "Two witnesses." When? Who? |
Bible Note: Hi mommapbs, Your post has me thoroughly confused. Do you believe the order of events described by Paul in II Thes? The subject is found in verse 1, which is what most believers generally call the rapture. 2 Thes. 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, Paul goes on to tell us that certain thing “must” transpire “BEFORE” the Lord will return, which to me means that the Lord won’t gather us until it happens. 2 Thes. 2:3-5 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. [5] Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? Now it looks like you are trying to deceive me by telling me the following, which is in opposition to what Paul taught? “When we, as followers of Jesus, fully appreciate that the Lord could return at any moment,” So who is right, Paul or you, saying that the Lord could return at any moment? I hope you see the same things in these verses that I do, because a lot of believers are going to have their faith shaken to the core when these thing start to transpire, when the son of perdition shows up and is persecuting the church and we haven’t left the earth yet? If Satan can't get at the Jews he is going to go after the Church. Rev. 12:12-17 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. [13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. [14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. [15] And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. [16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. [17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. These past verses coincide with what Paul was telling us in II Thess. and what Jesus said in Matt 24! Have a great day, CDBJ |
