This is a Strange Passage, but the Purpose was for People to Repent of Idolatry:

Therefore speak to them and tell them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When any Israelite sets up idols in his heart and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face and then goes to a prophet, I THE LORD WILL ANSWER HIM MYSELF IN KEEPING WITH HIS GREAT IDOLATRY. I will do this to recapture the hearts of the people of Israel, who have all deserted me for their idols.' "Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Repent! Turn from your idols and renounce all your detestable practices! (Ezek 14:4-6)
Solomon turned to idolatry at the end of his life. Takeaway: if this tragedy can happen to Solomon, it can happen to YOU! We must all remain more guarded than Solomon - and the other spiritual casualties throughout the Bible! HOLD ON.

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret--it leads only to evil. (Psa 37:8)

See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have TESTED
you in the furnace of affliction. (Isa 48:10)

..."We must go through MANY hardships
to enter the kingdom of God," they said. (Acts 14:22)

These Verses Together Reveal that Eating the "Bread from Heaven" (Jn. 6:50) equates to **Believing** on Jesus:

But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. (John 6:50)
and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:26)
Catholic theology has distorted the Scriptures about these matters, especially with their Eucharist.

Jesus is the true bread of life - and the FOCUS

How Should Women Remain "Silent" in Church?

WOMEN SHOULD REMAIN SILENT IN THE CHURCHES. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, THEY SHOULD ASK THEIR OWN HUSBANDS AT HOME; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. (1 Cor 14:34,35)
NOTE: women did indeed pray and prophesy in church (1 Cor. 11:5; 11:13). Hence, in a particular way, were women to be "silent" - that is, by not asking their husbands questions during church. Wives were to wait and ask their husbands their questions at home, rather than interrupting the church service with them. Again, woman DID speak, for they prayed and prophesied in church.

To protect the Catholic MYTH of Mary's Perpetual Virginity, Some Catholics have Argued, "Joseph was married previously and had children from that marriage."

ANSWER: That defense is clearly wrong. We KNOW that because ONLY JOSEPH AND THE PREGNANT MARY went to Bethlehem to register. His alleged children from a previous marriage were not there too. IF they existed, they would have been.
And everyone went to his own town to register. (Luke 2:3) So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. (Luke 2:4) He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. (Luke 2:5)

God "Saved" them. Then, Later He Destroyed Those he Saved:

Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. (Jude 5, ESV)
The same truth is referred to here:
As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion." Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert? And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief. (Heb. 3:15-19)

"The Spirit of Christ" was in the OT Prophets Implying Jesus' Deity:

Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN THEM was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.

God's prophets must have been SKINNY:

EZEKIEL
I have assigned you the same number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days you will bear the sin of the house of Israel. "After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the house of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year. Turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem and with bared arm prophesy against her. I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have finished the days of your siege. "Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side. Weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day and eat it at set times. Also measure out a sixth of a hin of water and drink it at set times. Eat the food as you would a barley cake; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement for fuel." (Ezek 4:5-12)
ELIJAH
The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. (1 Ki 17:6)
MOSES
Then the LORD said to Moses, "I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. On the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice as much as they gather on the other days." (Exo 16:4,5)
In their hunger you gave them bread from heaven and in their thirst you brought them water from the rock; you told them to go in and take possession of the land you had sworn with uplifted hand to give them. (Neh 9:15)
PAUL
I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. (2 Cor 11:27)
JOHN THE BAPTIST
John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. (Mat 3:4)

Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. (2 Tim 2:16)
DON'T RESIST TEMPTATION
but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. (James 1:14-16)
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)

Peter's Advice on Christian Living [AUDIO]

__________________________________

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. (Deut 6:4)

That is one of the most important verses in the whole OT. The word translated "one" there can mean COMPOUND UNITY, as shown in Gen. 2:24 where the same word is also used.

Also, Elohim is the word for "God" in the Old Testament. And THAT word is in the plural form.

"Then [Elohim or] God said, 'Let us [notice that plural pronoun] make man in our [there's that plural word again] image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' So [Elohim] God created man in his own image." (Gen.1:26-27)

Peter mentioned HOLY WOMEN, but the ultimate example was Sarah - NOT Mary!

For this is the way THE HOLY WOMEN of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, like SARAH, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. (1 Pet 3:5,6)
**IF Mary were really sinless, she would have been the ultimate example of a holy woman, but instead, Sara was.

Mary was a Sinner

Caveat: Wives are to submit to their husbands AS IS FITTING IN THE LORD (Col. 3:18), being understood that the wife is not to submit to her husband's lead if her obedience would cause her to sin. A tragic example of such is Ananias and Sapphira of Acts 5 where both parties lied and died. She followed his UNGODLY example. Read more here - Ananias and Sapphira.

Another side note: Revelation 21:8 condemns ALL unrepentant liars to the lake of fire; there is no exception for liars who were just following their husband's lead, as Sapphira did. Again, with "fear and trembling" we must GUARD OUR HEART.

As it Was in the Days of Noah

AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. (Mat 24:37-42)
That passage has been commonly misused in our day. It does NOT imply there will be giants (nephilim) at Jesus' coming, as mentioned in Genesis in Noah's day. The takeaway of the above passage is that the unsaved at the point of Jesus' coming will be just as unaware as the wicked were about the Great Flood in Noah's day.

It also implies that not all those on the globe will suffer the same intensity, as some of the righteous will be hand grinding grain with unbelievers at the rapture.

Pre Trib Rapture Arguments Dismantled

All the trees of the field will know that I the LORD bring down the tall tree and make the low tree grow tall. I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish. I the LORD have spoken, and I will do it. (Ezek 17:24)

Catholics, Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, etc. need to recognize their many sins and need to humbly GO TO JESUS FOR FORGIVENESS, like the woman in Luke 7:37-50 who did and got forgiven. Place all your faith and trust in JESUS (Jn. 3:18; 1 Pet. 2:6; etc.) as you obey.

Some are saying the Rapture will occur in September 2023 - SOON that will be ANOTHER FALSE PREDICTION!

When you are afflicted in your body (or when you are discouraged), think about the glorious, new resurrection body awaiting the overcomers in Christ! MUCH BETTER days are ahead for the overcomer.

1,000 year reign of Christ is explicitly shown here:

I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and REIGNED WITH CHRIST A THOUSAND YEARS. (Rev 20:4)
Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and WILL REIGN WITH HIM FOR A THOUSAND YEARS. (Rev 20:6)

There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because CLAUDIUS HAD ORDERED ALL THE JEWS TO LEAVE ROME. Paul went to see them, (Acts 18:2)
**Peter was a JEW and could NOT have been in Rome at that time. Claudius reigned from AD 41 to 54. In fact, there is NO evidence in scripture that Peter was ever in Rome. Consult the book of Acts and remember the Church Fathers are NOT reliable.

The Truly Saved Can Again Become Lost

Judas went from disciple to devil:

He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. (Mat 10:1-4)
Then Jesus replied, "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!" (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.) (John 6:70,71)

Unnamed Christians turned from a pure heart at salvation to "meaningless talk":

The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. SOME HAVE WANDERED AWAY FROM THESE AND TURNED TO MEANINGLESS TALK. (1 Tim 1:5,6)

Hymenaeus and Alexander, shipwrecks of the faith, turned to blasphemy:

holding on to faith and a good conscience. Some have rejected these and so have shipwrecked their faith. Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme. (1 Tim 1:19,20)

Young Christian Widows With a Dedication to Christ Turned Away to Follow Satan:

As for younger widows, do not put them on such a list. For when their sensual desires overcome their DEDICATION TO CHRIST, they want to marry. Thus they bring judgment on themselves, because they have broken their first pledge. (1 Tim 5:11,12)
So I counsel younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander. Some have in fact ALREADY TURNED AWAY TO FOLLOW SATAN. (1 Tim 5:14,15)

New Christian Converts deserted God by turning to Another Gospel

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- (Gal 1:6)

Another Gospel [AUDIO]

The angel Lucifer, over pride, became the Devil and got thrown out of heaven:

**Keep a clear conscience, forgive all who sin against you, HOLD ON. See 2 Pet. 1:5-10; John 15:18 -16:1.

Catholics openly acknowledge that they "VENERATE" Mary statues, even though their own Catechism condemns it:

2112 The first commandment condemns polytheism. IT REQUIRES MAN NEITHER TO BELIEVE IN, NOR TO VENERATE, other divinities than the one true God. Scripture constantly recalls this rejection of "idols, [of] silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see." These empty idols make their worshippers empty: "Those who make them are like them; so are all who trust in them.".... (CCC 2112)

Catholicism has millions of idols, which 'have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see', and they are "venerated"! Catholicism condemns itself and is definitely condemned by scripture, but some Catholics still refuse God's word; instead, they continue to reason, in their darkened understanding, to their own harm and condemnation.

Saving Grace and the Related

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. (Rev 3:17)

Spiritual DECEPTION can be so great, as shown above, that one can't even recognize their own "WRETCHED" condition and danger. Laodicea was the worst of the 7 Churches in Asia, with nothing good spoken about them, yet they thought they were "RICH" when, in reality, they were beyond "POOR". They had material wealth, but were in spiritual poverty. Remember this about searching YOUR HEART:
In your anger do not sin; WHEN YOU ARE ON YOUR BEDS, SEARCH YOUR HEARTS AND BE SILENT. Selah (Psa 4:4)

In other words, examine your heart DAILY and KEEP YOUR CONSCIENCE CLEAR.

REALITY: It happened back then, and it has surely happened since; of the entire congregation at Sardis, ONLY A "FEW" still had salvation!

Yet you have a FEW people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. (Rev 3:4)
This BATTLE FOR SOULS is both subtle and intense. The MAJORITY at Sardis, IN FIRST CENTURY CHRISTIANITY, "soiled" their spiritual clothes and were NO LONGER "WORTHY" to walk with Jesus at that point! **However, REPENTANCE was held out to them (3:3), and the Lord's message there is the same as to all the churches (3:6). He shows NO PARTIALITY with anyone.

The War Against Your SOUL [AUDIO]

We have entered the month of AUGUST, another month devoted to the pagan goddess of Catholics - their fantasy Mary. MAY is similar and is also devoted to their female "sovereign", who they have taught is their 'LIFE, sweetness and HOPE' as well as 'THE WAY' to God.

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God

WHY did the jailer come close to killing himself?

The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, HE DREW HIS SWORD AND WAS ABOUT TO KILL HIMSELF because he thought the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted, "Don't harm yourself! We are all here!" (Acts 16:27,28)
ANSWER: The following is what happened to the guards when Peter escaped from jail and the same fate probably would have happened to the jailer too:
In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ORDERED THAT THEY BE EXECUTED.... (Acts 12:18,19)
(IF they were tortured and/or shamed with that execution, we do not know, but the jailer must have thought suicide was the better way than their execution.)

Interesting side note: The Philippian jailer and his family were part of the start of the church at Philippi.

NEVER FORGET: Scripture is "More Certain" than God's Audible Voice!

For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain. And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. (2 Pet 1:17-19)
The apostle Peter taught that scripture is "more certain" than God's voice from heaven and we need to pay attention to scripture! Compare to Matthew 17:5.

Your experiences are less 'certain' than scripture too.

What does the following SALVATION-related verse mean?

In the same way, any of you who does not give up EVERYTHING he has cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:33)
Some believe it means to give up all material possessions to become penniless and homeless. By comparing scripture with scripture, we learn that notion is false. Note: Lk. 14:33 states the condition to be Jesus' disciple. Then, we have this next verse:
and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. (John 19:27)
Jn. 19:27 shows a disciple also had a home, and Mat 27:57 also demonstrates it is possible to be rich and be a disciple of Jesus. Remember, Abraham was rich, but was willing to sacrifice his son of promise (Isaac). Abraham put God FIRST in obedience, and we must too (Lk. 14:26,27; Mt. 10:37,38).

Moreover, Mary and Martha hosted a dinner for about 75 people in their home (Lk. 10:40), and Mary brought an expensive bottle of perfume, worth a year's wages, and poured it on Jesus' head. (Mk. 14:3) Apparently, they had some wealth too, yet were Christians.

Are you surprised our world is getting more openly wicked? It's just like Jesus taught:

Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, (Mat 24:12)
Then the Apostle Paul repeated the same message here:
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God (2 Tim. 3:1-4)

End Time Scriptures To Remember

Did you know OSAS is a false doctrine, which attempts to MOCK GOD?

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. (Gal 6:7-9)
OSAS claims that after getting born again, one can sow to please his sinful nature and still reap eternal life - not destruction! That poison theology is the opposite of God's word.

Is baptism vital to salvation and the gospel of Jesus Christ? How could it be, in view of the following?

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel... (1 Cor 1:17)
Paul summed his message up as follows:
I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus. (Acts 20:21)
First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles also, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds. (Acts 26:20)

Is a Christian a "SINNER"?

A Christian WAS a sinner, but since he has repented and is following Jesus, he is now RIGHTEOUS. A sinner needs to repent, but a righteous person does not:
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. (Luke 15:7)
Are YOU a sinner in need of salvation OR are you a Christian following Jesus now?

"TORTURED and Refused to Be Released"

...Others were TORTURED and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. (Heb 11:35)
The Greek word translated "TORTURED" there means:
"To stretch on an instrument of torture resembling a drum, and THUS BEAT TO DEATH - torture"
Our dear spiritual family of the past suffered and endured such terrible torture in order to hold on to their salvation. Remember that truth with the uncertain and troubling days ahead, along with Mt. 10:28, not to mention all the commands to be faithful to the point of death and to hold on (Rev. 2:10,11; 3:11, etc) .
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Mt. 10:28).

God Wants These Kinds of People

Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?" declares the LORD. "This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.... They [wicked people] have chosen their own ways, and their souls delight in their abominations; (Isa 66:2,3)
Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason." (Job 2:3)

Jesus prayed for US when on earth, and HE is stilling PRAYING FOR US NOW!

"My prayer is not for them alone. I PRAY ALSO FOR THOSE WHO WILL BELIEVE IN ME THROUGH THEIR MESSAGE, (John 17:20)
Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD AND IS ALSO INTERCEDING FOR US. (Rom 8:34)
Since Jesus is praying for us now, there is absolutely no need to desire Mary or departed saints to pray for us, as Catholics wrongly do. Moreover, that would be communing with the dead - necromancy, and hence, a practice of the magic arts.

Moreover, the road to life is difficult (Mt. 7:24), apparently so difficult that even though Jesus is praying for us, MANY STILL FALL AWAY. GUARD your pondered thoughts carefully for they will affect your behavior (Rom. 8:5; Heb. 11:15,16; etc.).

Jesus traveled ON FOOT from place to place - and not just with his Twelve apostles, but also with women (who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases), and these women, with their own money, helped to support him:

After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means. (Luke 8:1-3)
What is proper is what is stated in scripture - NOT what any religious group believes. Also, at the following point, the disciples were surprised when they saw Jesus talking with the Samaritan woman:
Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?" (John 4:27)

Are YOU the "smell of death" to the lost who know you?
If so, good for you!

For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task? (2 Cor 2:15,16)

Have you been needlessly troubled by this verse?

For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. (Mat 5:20)

ANSWER: They were filled with sin and hypocrisy:

Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are. (Mat 23:15)
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. (Mat 23:27,28)
To become truly righteous in God's sight, see Acts 20:21. Also, read these next verses:
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, holiness and redemption. (1 Cor 1:30)
Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which LEADS TO RIGHTEOUSNESS? (Rom 6:16)
Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. HE WHO DOES WHAT IS RIGHT IS RIGHTEOUS, just as he is righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil... (1 John 3:7,8)

________________________________

Dear Pre-Tribber, have you ever noticed this point?

The WRATH OF GOD (seal #6) does not come until AFTER THE RAPTURE (Rev. 6:16,17); THAT means we are still here throughout the first five seals, which are the Great Tribulation -referred to also as the distress (or "tribulation") of those [THESE] days (Rev. 6:12; Mt. 24:29; Mk. 13:24-27).
But in those days, following that distress [TRIBULATION], the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. (Mark 13:24,25)

(BTW, Seal #4 is next, at this point in time, as of August 2023.)

________________________________

The PRE WRATH RAPTURE PEOPLE, base their dogma on the following verse:

For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thess 5:9)
While the above point is true, the wrath of God doesn't arrive until Seal #6, which is outlined in Rev. 6 with the bowls of wrath, coming AFTER the Post-Trib rapture. See Rev. 16.

God's faithful children will be spared from God's wrath, but first, they will have to endure the Tribulation, which is the devil's wrath or fury (Rev. 12:12); it is our test.

The pre tribbers are believing in a FALSE HOPE, and they will face horrific days ahead AND THE ARRIVAL OF THE MARK OF THE BEAST (MOTB), which they are not expecting.

Will they be able to humble themselves and admit they were wrong and recognize the MOTB to avoid it? The extreme pressure will be on all to receive the mark in order to "buy or sell" (Rev. 13:16,17).

RECAP and KEY VERSES: The RAPTURE/ First Resurrection occurs at Seal #6, which is the same as the 7th Trumpet of Rev. 11:15, aka the "last trump" of 1 Cor. 15:52, and it is also mentioned in Rev. 10:7 as the "mystery" being complete. What mystery? We will not all die physically and we will get a new resurrection body!

The Pre Tribulation Rapture Arguments Examined

Note also that the Tribulation includes the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse who all keep riding.

The devil has intimidated some people, including Christians, into believing that "we cannot just read the Book of Revelation and understand it" - which notion explains so many, in this hour, going outside of the Bible to all sorts of teachers to "interpret" it and "explain" it for them - very dangerous, rather than digging, searching and pondering the scriptures themselves.

**Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. (Rev. 1:3)

IDOLATRY from the Past (Artemis) to the Present (the Catholic fantasy Mary)

"And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that MAN-MADE GODS ARE NO GODS AT ALL. There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited, and the goddess herself, who is worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty." When they heard this, they were furious and began shouting: 'GREAT IS ARTEMIS OF THE EPHESIANS!' "(Acts 19:26-28)

**In the SAME CITY (Ephesus) several hundred years later, the fantasy Catholic Mary was given the title "Mother of God". It happened at The First Council of Ephesus, held at THE CHURCH OF MARY in 431!

IMAGINE: the only existence we have ever known is under THE CURSE spoken of in Genesis 3:17-19. That consequence has resulted in a life of "trouble and sorrow" (Psa. 90:10), pain and tears, BUT A PROMISED PARADISE KINGDOM, TOTALLY UNLIKE THIS WORLD and which man has never imagined, (1 Cor. 2:9) has been graciously offered to us from God through "our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13 cf. Acts 4:12; Jn. 14:6; etc.)

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in THE PARADISE OF GOD. (Rev 2:7)

What the Prophet Azariah spoke to King Asa is important for us to know too:

...The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but IF YOU FORSAKE HIM, HE WILL FORSAKE YOU. (2 Chron. 15:2)

________________________________

Simply stated, to have salvation will mean that you LOVE GOD:

But the man who loves God is known by God. (1 Cor 8:3)
If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed.... (1 Cor. 16:22, ESV)

"Get Rid" of these:

But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices (Col 3:8,9)
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. (Eph 4:31,32)
Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. (James 1:21)
