Interesting. A good region for a "Man of Peace" to emerge from

Interesting topic,,,, but if you believe in the catching up of the bride or church you will not be here...

I'm a Pre-Tribulation (Rapture) believer based on Scripture.

So the beast from the East will most likely be brown?

I have not studied like you. Yet this just does not seem right. The bible is one story after another different but the same message on repeat.

All of the disciples suffered and I think most killed. Jesus was killed and suffers. Many early to current Christians are martyred. Somehow that Christians get off with a beam me up scottie and get to avoid it seems wrong. But Jesus dieing for me also seem wrong but is what was done so what do I know

Washington DC is east of most of us is it not?

I believe on a globe you could keep going east forever. So I would say you are correct Wolfdog.

If you look hard enough you can connect anything you want together. Can come up with all kinds of BS.

lol

You have a very good point there

All of it is miraculous indeed. There are four main theological schemas of how the final Coming of Jesus to reign again are played out but I, like others, are of the pre-tribulation, dispensational camp. This theology has grown in acceptance since only the 1800's as scholars attempt to literally blend the prophecies of Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation as the Scripture lays out. I know you study the Word PF, so here's a clip from one of my courses that's a solid summary of this pre-trib view;

"Premillennial eschatology is distinguished by an emphasis on a literal reading of biblical prophecy, as well as a belief in a future for national Israel, a future period of tribulation before the return of Christ to earth to establish his millennial kingdom, and a subsequent final judgment. Premillennial eschatology seeks to integrate and harmonize all biblical prophecy into one comprehensive scheme, which is primarily based on Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation. Premillennialism also gave birth to the concepts of the rapture, a two-stage return of Christ, and a strict separation between Israel and the church."

Blessings and Happy New Year!

Guys in looking for the upper taker not the antichrist I got a ticket on the G train many years ago. There has always been a antichrist on this earth because the devil doesn't know when we are leaving. So he has always had someone waiting in the wings for this day to come.

Dont take it!!! Stand strong for Jesus!.

Funny stuff

I'm with Mark on this...

My belief is Mid-Trib. I believe believers will go through the first roughly 3.5 years of Tribulation. Then be raptured before the next 3.5 really bad years of tribulation.

Honestly, I don't know how anyone can read Jesus's own words in Matthew 24 and be Pre-Trib when Jesus explicitly says otherwise.

Matthew 24:

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

The verses leading up to these ones describe the early phases of Tribulation... the wars, famines, martyring of Christians, etc.

But really... Pre-trib, mid-trib or post-trib are all just guesses because:

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Matthew 24:36

Very true yotetrapper30

What is the mark of the beast?
Translation from the new testament Greek.
Mark=scratch or etching, i.e.stamp. ( as a badge of servitude) or sculptid figure = graven.
Beast =like a wild animal. God created man in his image. Man become a living soul. ( when man rejects God he becomes like a beast, no longer in fellowship with God)

Why 666
6 is the number of a man
Man was created on the 6th day. Gen1:27-31

So why 3- 6s
God has 3 characteristics or 3 persons, depending on interpretation
God= Father, Son, Holy Ghost . Man is created in God's image =
= soul, body, spirit.

Denying God.
Spirit= 1st John ch4 vs 1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirit's whether they are of God: because many false profits are going out into the world.
Body= Rom 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors,not to the flesh, to live after the flesh, 13For if ye live after the flesh ye shall die: but if ye through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Soul= Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body:but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in he'll.

These verses in scripture may be a starting point to understanding how to avoid the mark of the beast.
