Seeing Too Much Rapture in the Gospel of John 14:3...

In a continuation of our study on the
we ask are some are “Seeing too much
Rapture in the Gospel of John 14:3?
Today, we further investigate whether
this text teaches the Rapture.
It is assumed that because the Lord said
he was going away and would come again
that an intermediate period for the Rapture
before the “final” end can be inserted.
Yet, one cannot build such a doctrine
in the parameters of this context. We’ll
get to that in a moment.
As we pointed out in the previous post,
What Did Charting the End Times Miss on the Rapture of the Church?, the overriding context of John 14, is Christ’s work as High ...

This third segment on Eschatology – Have
heaven and earth passed?, is part of an
agglomeration of about seven posts we
made on this topic.
All of this information is only part of the
picture in the study of the passing of the
Old Covenant.
Here, we look into the New Testament
expressions of Christ and the Apostles to
note how they applied these texts from
the Old Covenant.
To begin, let us consider what should be a rather easy very to grasp.
Yet it’s meaning creates quite a disagreement among interpreters. The former two lessons on this topic are indispensable to get the full meaning of what we say here.
Eschatology – Heaven and ...
Who Is Elijah Who Would Come?
November 26th, 2008 | Eschatology | 8 Comments
According to Malachi 4:5, the great and
dreadful day of the Lord follows very soon
after the coming of Elijah.
The question before us is, “who is Elijah
who would come? Many recognize that
this mysterious prophet precedes the
coming of the day of the Lord.
As a child, I often heard stories that
Elijah Muhammad fulfilled this prophecy,
signaling that Armageddon was near.
Five possibilities exist for the identity of
the end time prophet Elijah.
Elijah, of Old Testament prophecy
John, the immerser
Jesus Christ
Elijah Muhammad of the NOI
Some unknown figure yet to come
As a precursor of the coming of the Lord,
it is important that we seek to identify
this prophet. We are supposed to ...
How Can You Be Raptured from Financial Armageddon?...
November 13th, 2008 | Armageddon | No Comment
There is no question that a financial crisis was a sign
of the end time which came to pass in the first century.
The book of Revelation speaks of a beast who affected
the entire economy.
Under his designs none but those who had the
mark of the beast could buy or sell. (Revelation 12:17).
This had the net effective of a severe financial crisis.
Have you ever experienced a financial crisis in your life?
I remember back in the 80’s when I came very near
having my automobile re-possessed and within hours
of foreclosure on my house.
At the time, I worked in commission sales full-time, but
it seemed I only got paid ...
Does America Need Change, Obama or the Rapture?
November 11th, 2008 | Christian Eschatology | 1 Comment
In an article by Rapture Ready writer Jack Kelley, the
question is raised, how would Jesus vote? The
undertones of the article subtly suggests that
Jesus would proudly be a “conservative” Republican.
There is a political and religious bias that somehow
believes that to vote Democratic is both ungodly
and unChristian. Wonder how an independent’s
faith is classified?
The Rapture Ready scribe argues that America
was founded as a Christian nation. Well at least
we can say it “professed” to be.
Were these the same “born again” Christians who
claimed land belonging to American Indians as their
own? What Biblical principle did this uphold? Thou
shalt steal? Thou shalt covet?
So, if you want your neighbors land, just shoot him
and move his ...
