    Beware , many commentary's if you check out their verses do not apply to the subject but are out of context . Some people think that using many verses makes their view valid , on the contrary it's just something not worth reading .

    I recently ask for A single absolute solid verse on the Pretrib Rapture event , they went to some google website provided tons of commentary and some verses , yet not a single verse in context to the subject . These people don't know what they are reading or I understand the Bible . Miss applicant is false . Why do they do it ? Trying to get a following , maybe for personal gain . Never give money to anyone doing this . Is wrong to support such activities in any case . So many of these tv evangelist are just in it for the money , a motive for getting a following .

    You are much better off reading the Bible in prayer to the Lord for understanding. You learn bit by bit so be patient , don't buy the lies from false teachers .

    Rob,

    I do not ascribe to any Tribulation speculation or theories. Back in 1988 they tried to predict that was the year. Didn't happen.

    If we predict wrongly, people get discouraged, angry or might think they can sin for the next 2 1/2 or 7 years.

    I looked for Tribs in the Bible and found none. It says: be ready, be looking, watch and pray, have your lamps full of oil, thief in the night is when? 6pm to 6am? Time zone?

    Hemisphere?

    I think Jesus's way is the best. Just be ready. Be watchful. Rightly read the signs of the times.

    I printed the Trib options to show how we cannot answer that question and be sure it's the right one.

    One note, the Abraham Accord, signed by Israel with some Arab nations (recently) is for 7 years.

    Relative peace. Let's keep an eye on that.

    I'll be in the prayer Request Room if you miss me :D lol

    +Bless you abundantly+

    Jesus gave us plain teachings about the end times , in Matthew 24 and Luke 21 and other places .

    If we take heed to what he said we will not be wondering or perplexed about how it unfolds .

    We are to be faithful stewards to him if he comes or not in our life time . If we are doing his work faithfully we have nothing to fear . His coming is our hope so that's what we look for . If we get preoccupied with this world or deceived by false teaching , we are not looking or ready for his coming .

    Antichrist has not even come on the scene so it's a way off from now the coming of the Lord , Antichrist must come first according to Apostle Paul and the rest of the Bible .

    If you believe your personal understandings and beliefs to be the only true way, then as a Christian, why not pray for others instead of spending time condemning them. I have seen your comments over the past couple of weeks and sometimes wonder, rhetorically, what your exact intent is, here. Spurring and encouraging others is understandable. Speaking ill of others and their personal beliefs is not so ethical nor conducive in proving Your personal understanding and beliefs. If the proof is in the pudding, some may have different tastebuds. Some more sensitive, some less. Some tastebuds may be confused as to what the exact flavor is, but they know for sure there is some good pudding..

    My comment in no way is meant to be rude or a personal attack. Just a few words from a loving brother.

    God Bless
