PLAIN TRUTH -- NO PROMISE OF ESCAPE FROM TRIBULATION

or

"The Rapture" Spreads False Hope: There is No Promise of Escape
from Tribulation



Randy said, "I believe the church will not go through the
Tribulation because God promised to deliver the church from the
hour of Tribulation (Revelation 3:10)


When someone quotes a scripture to support something they have
stated, I ALWAYS examine the scripture to see if it,
a) said what they inferred, or said, it said, or
b) if it actually supports or proves what they stated.

Randy said (above) "...because God promised to deliver the church
from the hour of Tribulation," and he then quotes Rev 3:10 as
either saying that, or proving his statement.

What does Rev 3:10 say?
"Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep
thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the
world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."

First, the word is "TEMPTATION" _not_ "Tribulation"!

Not only is "Tribulation" *NOT* in the scripture Randy quoted,
but it does not mean what he said means. What it DOES SAY is "the
hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try
them that dwell upon the earth. This "all that dwell upon the
earth includes Christians. Luke 21:28 proves Christians, We Who
Remain, are here unto the coming of the Lord.

I have given scriptural proof that the Church is named throughout
the book of Revelation, and is here unto the end.

We Will Endure Tribulation
First, Rev 3:10 does NOT say God will deliver the Church from
Tribulation.
Second, The Lord tells that the Church WILL endure Tribulation:

Rev 2:9  I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but
thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they
are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10  Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold,
the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be
tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful
unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Rev 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to
me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have
washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
That they "came out of great tribulation" is absolute proof that
they were IN tribulation, not that they "avoided it."

First, The Beginning of Sorrows; Mat 24:7-10.
Then, The Affliction; Mat 24:8-14
Next, The Abomination; Mat 24:15-21
Then shall be Great Tribulation (see Rev 7:14) Rev 13:6-15.
The Tribulation is Caused by Satan when he demands to be
worshiped as "God" and begins to murder Christians, We Who Remain.

Rev 11:7  And when they shall have finished their testimony, the
beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war
against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

But not all of them: for a remnant will escape to the hills of
Judea, to the camp of the Saints. There the Remnant, the Elect
(Mat:24:22) The Saints will await That Day.

Then, on That Day, the Last Trumpet will sound, The Seventh
Trumpet, The Trump of God, the dead will be resurrected and
Christ will return to this earth as He left, bringing The First
Century Saints with Him. 2 Thes 4:14-17, Rev 14:1-5. Satan will
be defeated, and the Beast and the False Christ will be cast into
the Lake of Fire. (Rev 19:11-21, 20:8-15) This Earth will be
consumed in fervent heat and the Saved of Earth will inherit the
New Heaven and Earth.

Randy, if you cannot abandon the false doctrines of 'rapture' and
'millennial reign' you will accept the mark of the beast and
worship the false god of modern Rome, AND suffer the plagues of
the Vials of God's Wrath because you have added to the Word of God.

God tells us He will give us the understanding of His Word.
James 1:5. Mat. 7:7-11, 10:26, Luke 24:45, 1 Cor. 12:8.

Oooooppps

I lurk this group and read in the hope of learning a little...

Obviously I have not learned to watch where I post :-(

I was wondering why this did not show in the group i intended to
post it to, and was beginning to entertain delusions of little
green warriors from mars and seductive silken princesses from
Venus.... :-)

mea culpa
