Shut the fuck up retard and get your facts straight before trolling. If you are Christian and you don't believe this then you are a heathen and deserve hell.

Yes the precise time is a bit vague. Some believe that the rapture will happen in the beginning of the tribulation and some that it will happen in the middle and some in the end.

The reason they start now is that they suspect the end is near with Trump getting elected and so forth.

It's not vague at all.

>>726253757
Armageddon ends the Tribulation; Jesus comes down triumphant.

You're thinking of the second Gog Magog war after the devil is released, after the 1000 year reign of Jesus on earth.

>>726252808
They gotta have something to eat for the entire 5 minutes they are being raised into heaven otherwise they would starve.

>>726254062
So you're saying the rapture will take place seven years from now?

OP, you got pretty much that entire story wrong. If you read that on Wikipedia someone really needs to edit that article.

>>726253877
Paul to the Corinthians:
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Paul to the Thessalonians:
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

The Rapture will suddenly happen.

Pretty sure your picture is related to one of those families who save up hundreds of coupons in order to get $800 in groceries for like $4.32.

Absolutely positive it has nothing to do with Christians and the rapture.

>>726254062
well the reason im bringing this up was because of a documentary about it that was on tv the other day, and those americans interviewed had different opinions on when the rapturing would occur at least.

>>726254526
Huh? You keep adding

Are you deliberately being vague?

>>726254552
The things of God just aren't for you. It's okay. Not many find salvation. You're in the majority.

>>726254663
There are people with differing views. There is only one view that does not have to mangle the bible in order to justify itself.

Think of the days of Noah, which are a sign of the end times.

Enoch is just walking with God, and then he's just not there anymore. He's gone.

The Jews, the elect, have an ark to save them from the Flood.

And the wicked, well, they perish in the flood, don't they.

>>726254350
You believe whats in a book written by humans to control humans?

>>726254659
Thats a real bargain. Speaking of which... Do the jews also believe in the rupture?

>>726254728
Must be nice to be different. To be accepted when others shun you. To find a different addiction than intoxication. Nice to have safety. Reassurance. No matter what, everything will be ok -in the end-
Lets just hope you're right about that.

>>726254713

I'm saying that 7 years after the Rapture is the Second Coming of Christ.

Then the binding of the devil and his demons into hell.

Then the cleansing of the temple, and the sheep and goat judgment.

Then the new heavens and the new earth, refreshed and renewed instantly, and the descent of the heavenly city from heaven. The city you've heard about, with streets of gold, gates of pearl, etc. It's 2/3 the size of the moon.

Then the 1000 year reign of Jesus on Eden earth, where everything is as it was in creation.

Then the devil is loosed for a minute, gathers an army and attacks Jesus, and loses. Bad. Then the second resurrection, the great white throne judgment, and the end of everything in this age.

And those who want to be with God forever will slip back into eternity with him; those who choose not to will be confined in a lake of fire, the outer darkness, with the devil, his demons, the evil spirits, and the wicked men.

You can believe that, if you'd like. It's a convenient way for you to not have to face your creator until you are forced to. You can go to trial and attempt to plead ignorance.

But then, is ignorance of the law ever an excuse?

So the book written by man says. You do know that it has been proven that the so called great flood would not have covered the entire earth. It has also been proven that most of the stories and prophecies written in the bible only include such areas as Egypt, India, and Israel. and other idiot regions. The only bible that the US and the rest of the world is actually mentioned which by they way was not flooded is the Mormon bible.

>>726255706
THIS

>>726255706
I'm giving you the correct timeline from the bible.

Your frustration stems from not having the information from the bible to understand my post.

Your frustration in general with the bible is that you are apparently not aware that it requires spiritual discernment to understand it; that God has to teach it to you. So you ask me why I keep putting 7 years between the Rapture and the Second Coming, when I'm simply saying there are 7 years between the Rapture and the Second Coming.

Knowing that suffices to realize that the Rapture and the Second Coming are clearly two different events as they take place 7 years apart.

And a thinking person might make a mental note that if this Christianity stuff is true, 7 years from the day all Christians disappear would be the date to look for the Second Coming of Christ. And to make sure by that time one was a believer, and doing what the bible said was necessary to gain heaven and avoid hell.

My post makes perfect sense.

You are not in a position to brute force it. If you want to understand the things of God, you have to belong to God.

>>726252808
*Christians

>>726255803
If ignorance of the law is not an excuse on earth, why would it be an excuse in heaven?

I can cite it from the bible, if you'd prefer.

Romans 1
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are

without excuse,

because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

The funniest thing is, if Jesus came down right now, you'd be one of the first people judged. Judged for your "self- righteousness". He hates you, and you don't even know it. But ignorance of the law is no excuse. Sorry kiddo, you are fucked.

>>726256621
At least we agree on something

>>726256568
It's a fear response. The world is going to end; I need to provide for my basic needs or I will die; therefore I will become a prepper.

I do not operate out of fear. Love drives out fear; perfect love drives out all fear.

This would be a difficult time to trust God to provide for all of your needs; but then, he's God and it's not tough for him at all to do so.

Look up brainwashed and you see OPS image.

>>726256707
Wait, we're not THE SAME BEINGS? Jesus wasn't human??? Aren't we all made in God's own image??? Jeez anon, you seem to be awfully confused...

>>726256596
About 30% of it is prophetic, and 100% of those prophecies have come true just as written. The bible tells the story of the world from beginning to end, which is something only God can do.

So prophecy, and fulfilled prophecy, are part of the assurance I have that God is involved in the bible.

There is also power.
There is power in the name of Jesus, Yehoshua.
There is power in the Word of God; just open up a bible in a bar and start reading it.
There is power in the Holy Spirit to transform lives.

Prophecy and power. God's hallmark's, and not of man.

>>726256637
By directly and honestly answering your questions?

Or by pointing out that you lack the spiritual discernment necessary to understand these things?

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I don't act like a Christian.

I am a Christian.

I've been hearing about this shit my whole life. The only time it seemed even remotely possible was during and shortly after Y2K, when I (along with many others) was force-fed apocalyptic propaganda left and right by the church and other sources (I was an Xtian). 17 Years later, no mass-anthrax attacks, no multi-headed dogs running about, no walking trees, and no fucking iron chariots. Fucking hell.

But to answer your question OP, no. I figured in about 2006 that if I'm gonna die, I'm just gonna die. No point in my having all that canned bullshit if I'm not going to use it.

No, Adam was. When he fell from grace, he could only make children in his own spiritually dead image, not in the image of God.

It is about regaining that Spirit of God that is involved in being born again, to once again be in the image of God, but voluntarily.

>>726252808
It's not an american thing. Its in the book of in Second Thessalonians, Gospel of Matthew, First Corinthians and the Revelation. If you actually believe the bible is real, you believe this will happen.

Yeah... cos only America has crazy-ass christian extremists...

Getting stockpiled in murica is probably easier than other places. Plenty of pre-packed food, easy access to weapons, lots of unpopulated areas with good hunting and fishing not too far away from civilization, and a coupon system where you can buy $8,000 worth for about tree-fiddy.

I guess those theories about societal collapse they use to justify their OCD and paranoia could somehow correlate to the Rapture... bad shit going down coupled with the complete breakdown of society resulting in anarchy and all that.

Given the choice if shit like that went down, I'd rather be fully stocked and bunkered down instead of having to wander about fighting demons and hellspawn and whatever is it that's supposed to be going on. Way too lazy for that though, so if Rapture comes along I'm probably going to end up getting analled with a pineapple.

There are some Christian scientists who made up what they called the RATE group, to look into radiometric dating and see if there was any reason to believe the process was accurate. There was not. It dated igneous rock made in the 1980's at the eruption of Mt. St. Helen's to be 3 million years old. That's K-Ar dating.

Carbon dating is very accurate and has been proven so many times. Your christian nerd boys just did not take into account the actual location those rocks originated from.

That's pretty open to interpretation. Passages on Behemoth only mention it was some sort of large herbivore that drank a lot. If it mentioned a long neck or something, sure... it doesn't even state how many legs the fucker had.

It also states 'he is chief of the ways of God'. If he was a dinosaur, dude must have done something pretty fucking bad for god to smack him one with a meteor.

So do christians. Here in sweden there has been recent cases of torturing of children to ecorcise demons.
Race seem to matter way more than in which name of the religion things are done in.

don't be an idiot, christians kill in the name of 'babus jebums' all over Earth

Well that brings up the point if Americans can really be called christians at all... Gluttony is a sin too

Lol is that what the swedish government has been telling you?

As far as the rest of the world knows, right now Sweden is under siege from Muslim gangs

It's not cheating there's no rules to surviving so you can do whatever it takes to do it. I get your point but survival is survival there's no rules.

Do you really think anyone can be Christian? Knowing what you know about humanity in general (I would hope you know even a sliver from your life experiences), how could any person be?

I har også en flok immigranter som voldtager og stjæler så meget som de kan I Malmø.
Nu må du ikke misforstå mig, jeg kender en del normale og venlige muslimer, som passer fint ind i samfundet. Men jeg har også mødt voldelige tosser som tror at deres religion godtgører voldelige og kriminelle handlinger.

Well I'm not really one to judge, I'm not part of your demographic, I just thought acting superior to another person and implying they are possessed because they disagree, seemed a bit hypocritical.

Nah, the jewish siege is worse. Muslims are more of a nuisance
