    PHASE n. 1. any of the major aspects in which a thing of varying
    forms or conditions manifests itself.

    The Bible teaches two phases of the Second Coming of Jesus.
    For example: Matthew 24:30-31
    phase 1) Jesus comes in Glory v. 30
    phase 2) Jesus has the angels gather the elect v. 31

    Note the previous paragraph is true for pretribs, mid-tribs,
    post-tribs, pan-tribs, and pre-wraths. A-tribs do not believe
    in the split, not that it matters for half of nothing is
    still nothing ;)

    Most post-tribs say these two phases occur the same 24-hour day.
    As a pretrib, i say both phases occur the same
    7-year day (Daniel 9:27)

    2 Thessalonians 2:1 shows two phases of the second coming of Jesus:
    phase 1) coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
    phase 2) our gathering together to Him.

    PLease note there is nothing in the previous paragraph
    that cannot be agreed to by pretribs, mid-tribs, post-tribs,
    pan-tribs, and pre-wraths. The only disagreement is
    what "day" means in this context.

    quoteof Ed:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Rev. 1:7 - This is what DPT calls the 3rd coming
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    DeafPosttrib: "I never saying it. You just added unto it."

    You are totally reading me wrong.
    You are the one who mean:
    the rapture/resurrection is the 2ed coming
    the coming to defeat the antichrist is the 3ed coming.

    I said that Revelation 1:7 is the 3ed coming.
    YOu don't have to agree, you know.

    Anyway, this:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Rev. 1:7 - This is what DPT calls the 3rd coming
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    is short for this:
    I believe that Revelation 1:7 refers to the last phase of
    the Second coming, the coming in power and glory of Jesus
    to destroy the antichrist and set up His physical
    Millinnial Kingdom. DPT calles this coming of Jesus
    the 3ed coming.

    Both are no difference. Thousands and thousands of Christians already died through past centuries, now are with the Lord in the heaven. When Christ shall come, He shall bring with them from heaven at His Coming - 1 Thess. 4:14. Also, in Jude 14, Enoch prophecied in his vision, he saw thousands and thousands of the saints shall come with Christ in the clouds. He prophicied it about more than 2,000 to probably 3,000 years before Christ. He does not see two phases of Lord's coming in his vision. He saw the only one coming of Christ. Also, two phases of the second coming was not teaching in the Early Church history. Jude 14 does not limited to saints(Christians) only, also, I am sure that Enoch saw thousands, and thousands of angels come with Christ too.

    Yes, Christ shall come with his saints and angels at the second coming, so, we all shall meet them in the air at the second coming.

    1 Thess 4:15-17 do not saying, when after we shall meet Christ in the air at his coming, then we shall go into the heaven as He returns back to heaven after he gathering us together, like as 'yo-yo's'. Neither John 14:1-3 saying, when after Christ come to receive us, He will return back to heaven again. 1 Thess 4:16 says, Christ shall DESCEND from heaven. Descend means down opposite of up. Verse 16-17 do not saying when AFTER Christ descends, then return back up to the heaven.

    There are many details about the second coming in the Bible, yet, all of these speaking of the only one future coming of Christ. No way, you can prove there is a gap time of 7 years between rapture and the second coming in the Bible. It does not saying there is a gap time of 7 years between rapture and the second coming.

    Again, I have no problem with them. Thousands, and thousands of saints are now in the heaven with the Lord throughout many centuries. When Christ shall come again, He shall bring with them from the heaven - 1 Thess. 4:14.

    Right now, we are in the last days and we are in this present age. The disciples asked Christ, what shall be the signs of the end of the world, and signs of His coming - Matt 24:3. Christ answered their question. He tells us, we shall see the signs appearing everywhere over the world. The signs shall be end when after the sun, moon, and the stars become darkened, then Christ shall appear in the clouds with power and glory, He shall send his angels to gathering us together. The end of the world will be arrived WHEN Christ shall come with his angels at the second coming right after the tribulation. "The Gentile Age" is not in disciples' mind. In their mind, want to know how shall these things to be end of the world, and His coming. Also, they never hear of two phases of the second coming, because, two phases of the second coming doctrine was not yet exist during Christ's ministry. Also, you are aware that, Christ does not teaching to his disciples on the two phases of His coming. He taught them, the signs of the end of the world will be occured by follow His coming with his angels, Christ spoken of the only ONE future coming in the context of Matthew chapter 24, you know that.

    We do not wait for the tribulation period. We are already face tribulations throughout centuries since Early Church to now - John 16:33; Acts 14:22; 1 Thess. 3:3-4; Romans 5:3-4. Thousands or millions of Christians already suffered tribulations and persecutions in the past centuries. Even, today, many Christians in Arab countries, are suffering persecutions. Also, in China too. You believe 'great tribulation' of Matt 24:21 is different from tribulations, it speaks of future three and half or seven years of tribulation period. Actually, there is NO difference between 'great tribulation' and tribulations, both are same defintion. Yet, I believe 'great tribulation' is a future event, when Antichrist shall be revealed to persecute against us, it will be much worst than all tribulations in the past.

    Also, we are in realized millennium now, because Christ brought the kingdom of God/heaven to the world, that we preach on it to the world, Christ already give the power to the Church to preach the world - Matt 16:19; Matt 24:18; Acts 1:8. During Old Testament period, Satan deceived the nations, because the gospel was not yet spread. But, after the Calvary, in the New Testament period, Satan is not able deceive the nations, because the gospel is now spread over the world. Satan cannot stop the gospel from spreading over the world.

    The next age - eternality age shall be begin right after the second coming. Right now, we are in this present age, many are given to marriage and produce more children - Luke 20:34. In the next age, no one shall be given to marriage, no more produce children, because we are the children of the resurrection - Luke 20:35-36. That mean, we all shall be changed into immortality, to be like angels. No immorality person shall produce more child, because they shall be glory like Christ - 1 John 3:2.

    Eternality age shall be begin right after the second coming.

    Pretrib teaches, wrath is seven year of tribulation period.

    Both wrath and tribulation are difference definition. Wrath defines, anger, mad, fierce, punish by God. Tribulation defines, trial, trouble, suffering, persecution. We are appointed for tribulation - 1 Thess. 3:3-4 because Christ suffered on the cross for us, so, therefore, we ought follow Christ's example - Luke 9:23; 1 Peter 2:21. We are not appointed for the wrath - 1 Thess. 5:9. Wrath is for send unbelievers to everlasting punishment because of reject Christ, also, not repent of sins.

    Also, 1 Thess. 5:9 does not saying, "seven year of tribulation period". No way that you can prove 1 Thess 5:9 speak of seven year tribulation period, because it does not saying.

    Also, you will not find anywhere in the book of Revelation saying that the wrath shall pour upon a saint.

    Wrath is for send unbelievers to everlasting fire because of reject Christ, or not repent of sins.

    Pretrib inteprets Rev. 3:10 speak of keep us from the hour of temptation to prove us, that we shall be delivery out before seven year of tribulation period come. But, they misintepreting Rev. 3:10, what it actual talking about.

    Pretrib saying, 'keep from' proves that we shall be rapture out of it before the hour of temptation comes.

    I want to discuss on Rev. 3:10.

    Notice, There is comparing of Rev. 3:10 same with Rev. 2:10 and James 1:12 too.

    Also, there is another refer verse for Rev. 3:10 is John 17:15. Christ prayed to His Father in heaven, He asked Father, not take them out of the world(sounds like rapture?), but to keep them from the evil, it means, He asked His Father to protect us from the evil like as trials or tribulations. Christ asked His Father, not to take Christians out of the world, but to protect them from the evil.

    I want to show you the comparing of Rev. 2:10, 3:10-11 with James 1:12:

    James 1:12 compare with Rev. 2:10:

    "tried"
    'tried'
    James 1:12

    'tried'
    Rev. 2:10

    "crown of life"
    'crown of life'
    James 1:12

    'crown of life
    Rev. 2:10

    "try"
    'tried'
    James 1:12

    'try'
    Rev. 3:10

    "crown"
    'crown'
    James 1:12

    'crown'
    Rev. 3:11

    Rev. 3:10 promises us, IF we keep his commandments, He will protect us from the temptations. OR.... if we do not keep HIs commandments, He will not protect us from the temptation.

    1 Corinthians 10:13 "There hath no temptation taken you such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

    It tells us, God do not allow us to face greater temptations, He knows our weakness areas. But, it tells us, we are carry with the temptations, and able to escape from fall into sin.

    Good example - Joseph in Genesis 39:7-13. When Joseph faced temptation of master's wife. She asked him, for sex. He refused. She kept on asked him often day to day. He kept on stubborn, and told her, no. One day, she asked him, the same question, he refused, but, she grabbed Joseph's garment, he fled away immediated as she grabbed his garment same time. He did the right thing to fled from fall into sin. He fears of the Lord.

    I want to show you of Matthew Henry Commentary on Rev. 3:10. He wrote it in year between 1690 to 1710. He said: "By keeping the gospel they are prepared for the trial; and the same divine grace that has made them fruitful in times of peace will make them faithful in TIMES of persecution." Clearly, Rev. 3:10 tells us, Christ promises us, IF we keep His commandment, He will protect us from the temptation.

    'Hour' of Rev. 3:10 does not saying it is seven year. Hour means, period, time, era. Good example of 'hour' in Matthew 26:45 "Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, 'Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the HOUR is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.'" Does that mean, Christ shall died on the corss a hour later during in the very same night at around 4 a.m.? No. It tells us, Christ told them, that His TIME is arrived that His death shall be betrayed on the cross. He died about 12 or 13 hours later in the afternoon at around 3 pm on the cross.

    Rev. 3:10 is not talk about keep us from the seven year of tribulation period. Neither, it say, 'wrath', 'caught up', 'gathering together' 'resurrection' coming of Christ. Rev. 3:10 promises us, IF we keep His commandment, He will protect us from the temptations. We do NOT have to wait for the coming "hour of temptation". Church of Philadelphia during John's time in year around 95 A.D., already faced tempations. Early Church already faced temptations in their times. We already face temptations in our lifetime. We do not have to wait for the coming "hour of temptation", we already facing temptations daily in our lifetime. It promises us, IF we keep His commandments, He will protect us from the temptations. OR..... if we do not keep His commandment, we might face mess up and troubles.

    Rev. 3:10 is not the evidence of pretrib. It speaks of promise us, if we keep his commandments, He shall protect us from the temptations. IF we endure with them, and not give up all the way to the end at our death or Christ comes, we shall received the crown of life same with Rev. 2:10 and 3:10-11.

    You really twisted what Christ was talking about. Christ clearly teaching us, we shall see the signs must appear everywhere BEFORE his coming - Matt 24:4-30. He cannot come till we must see the signs appear everywhere first.

    Matt 24:36,42,44 do not mean that there is no sign before His coming. It speaks of no one know when day or hour Christ comes. Matt. 24:36,42,44 do not prove it is 'pretrib'. Matt. 24:36,42,44 are context with Matt 24:29. We all know Christ shall come after the tribulation, but we do not know what the exactly hour, or day, or what year, when Christ shall come. We must always be watch and be ready all the time for His coming.

    Cannot you see the signs appear everywhere in the world already? Cannot you see apostasy appear everywhere in the world already? - 2 Thess 2:3; 1 Tim. 4:1; 2 Tim. 3:1-7, and 2 Tim. 4:3-4.

    Again, you want to separate Matt 24:31 from verse 29-30, that is against the hermenuetic rule - intepreting in CONTEXTUALLY. Matt 24:31 does not separate from verse 29-30, you know that. Our gathering together cannot be occur yet TILL Christ must comes first - 1 Thess. 4:15.

    I KNOW in your mind and your heart cannot deny of Matt 24:31 is clearly context with verse 29-30. God knows in your heart and mind, that you are aware of Matt 24:29-31 speak of our gathering together shall be AFTER the tribulation. SO....... you intepreting them into your own logical and twist them. Christ does not agree with your intepreting of Matt 24:29-31, because you do not agree with Christ's word, what He actual saying.

    By the way, Luke 21:28 tells us, we must see the things come to pass THEN we look up for our redemption draw near. Obivlously, we must see the signs come to pass first BEFORE our redemption comes. Redemption speaks of our body all shall be changed into immortality - Romans 8:19-23; and 1 Cor. 15:51-54.

    Both Jews and Gentiles already reconciled together into ONE through Calvary - Eph. 2:12-16. NO LONGER divided between Jews and Gentiles both are now unity together into ONE for forever and ever.

    Romans chapter 11 teaches us, God does not forsake Jews-(Rom.11:1-2), But He removed Jews from the Olive Tree because of their unbelief - Romans 11:19-23. Gentiles was wild branches, God grafted Gentiles into the Olive Tree to join with believing Jews together. Both are share on the same tree through Jesus Christ by Calvary. SO, ALL(both Jew and Gentile) Israel be saved- Romans 11:25-26.

    Right now, Satan cannot be allow to deceive the world, he is now bound from being to be deceived the world by Calvary. 2 Thess 2:6-7 tells us, Satan is now holding back from being to be revealed, obivously, he is bound now. Rev. 17:8 tells us, Satan is now holding back from being to be revealed. Same with Rev. 20:2-3 tell us, Satan is now holding back from being deceive the nations because of Calvary. He cannot stop us from spreading the gospel over the world. Christ already given His power to Church - Matt 16:19; Matt 28:18; and Acts 1:8 to witness gospel to the world.

    2 Thess 2:7-8 tell us, Satan shall be loose out of the way then He shall be revealed to deceived the nations for a short time(little season- Rev. 20:3b)- 42 months. Satan's work shall be destroyed at Christ's coming - 2 Thess 2:8b.

    When, Satan shall be loose out of the way, and to be revealed - 2 Thess 2:7-8, Then, Satan shall deceived the world - 2 Thess 2:9-13 same with Matt 24:24 and Rev. 13:13.

    The problem is, Romans 14:10; 1 Cor. 3:12-15; and 2 Cor. 5:10 do not/B] saying the judgement shall be in the heaven.

    Matt 16:27 and Rev. 22:12 both clear tell us, Christ says, when He shall come with his angels, He shall bring rewards with Him, give them to men of their works, both speak of the second coming.

    Matt 25:31-46 do not saying where the place will be taken- Christ shall judge the world. But, I am no doubt, Christ shall judge the world near Jerusalem after His feet touch Mt. Olivet.

    Yes, we all shall be judged by Jesus Christ at His coming with his angels - Matt 25:31-46. Saints are God's sheep. All sheep shall be judged also at His coming - Matt 25:31-46.

    Many saints shall be joy when they shall see Christ appearing in the clouds at His coming, as all our body shall be chnaged into immortality.

    But, nor every saints shall be joy, many will be tears during the judgement day, you and me shall have tears during in the judgement day, when we shall see our love ones shall be cast away into the lake of fire, will miss them forever and ever. Lot of saints shall have tears, many shall lose rewards or shall be shocked to find out that their names are not find written in the book of life, shall cast into the lake of fire. EVERYONE will have tears during great white throne judgment day.

    "Time of sorrow"- we are already seeing the sorrows everywhere in the world - Matt 24:4-8. It already happeninbg since Early Church to today, and these are continue through great tribulation till Christ comes.

    Of course, there shall be a great mourning or wailing for the world - Matt 24:30; & Rev. 1:7, when they shall see Christ appear in power and glory with his angels, because they rejected him, His coming shall cause them feel guilt and ashamed for reject him, cast them into the lake of fire.

    In Christ
    Rev. 22:20 - Amen!

    To you all - Pretribbers (Dr. Griffin, Frogman, Pastor Larry, etc..) I would like to hear your answer of my questions on Ed's.

    Do you agree with Ed, that he teaches there are two phases between verse 30 and 31?

    Second, do you see there is a gap time of seven years between verse 30 and 31???

    Do you agree with Ed saying there are two phases within 2 Thess 2:1?

    Do you see there is a gap time - seven year between "coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" & "our gathering together to Him" of 2 Thess 2:1??

    In Christ
    Rev. 22:20-Amen!

    p.s. Ed, please Do NOT reply back to me, TILL pretribbers will have to reply back to me about these questions first.

    " ... postrib is very bery old and
    never change ... "

    Tee hee. It is hard to find a-mill pretribu prior
    to 1950. The vast majority (over 98%) of a-mills
    don't even believe in a literal Second Coming
    of Jesus but believe: "Jesus comes to us
    spiritually the second time when we die."

    Postribulation rapture with a pre-millinnial literal Second
    Coming of Jesus has some likelehood that it might have
    been taught prior to 300AD.

    The general history, per ed, is this.
    The early church (other than the documenters)
    was neither Roman Catholic nor Eastern Orthodox
    the first 250 years. In about 312AD the church got into
    bed with the Roman Empire and did the dirty deed.
    Up to 312 AD nobody really mentions pretrib rapture
    or postrib rapture; they probably believed in both.
    The teaching was the premillinnial Second Coming of Jesus.

    The a-mill stuff started after 325AD and continued even
    past the first reformers of the Reformation. The second
    wave reformers became inerested in the secondary doctrines
    and thought about pre-millinnial Second Coming.
    The third wave protestants (like Baptists) actually
    changed to pre-millilnnial Second Coming.
    Among the Baptists and kindred groups, about 1830
    the pretribulation rapture/resurrection doctrine was
    specified (with current termonology). About 1890 it
    was the postribulation ONLY rapture/resurrection
    movement started. About 1950 some a-mill noticed that
    Jesus could have a second coming, this broke a 1650 year
    long derth of a literal second coming of Jesus in the
    spiritual a-mill philosophy.


    DeafPosttrib: "p.s. Ed, please Do NOT reply back to me, TILL pretribbers will have to reply back to me about these questions first."

    Sorry, didn't see this. I still have
    several posts in the pipeline. I post before
    i read, bad habbit i got back when you
    payed for computer access by the minute :(

    God bless you, Brother DeafPosttrib. I pray
    your fixed computer will keep you in
    business (or did you get a new one?)

    Remember the three things you need before
    you get on the internet:

    1. A strong firewall
    2. A good antiviral
    (I use Norton PERSONAL FIREWALL and
    Norton ANTIVIRUS from Symantec.)
    3. A lawyer under retainer :D

    And it looks like i need to add a #4.
    the spam blocker.

    DPT on 07 May 2004: " ... you intepreting
    verses by use your own logical too much."

    Do me a favor.
    Get with the ones who say i read
    my eschatology from books
    and repeat it like a puppet.

    That why you all can attack me from
    the same direction instead of
    each from a different direction.
    Thank you.

    DPT on 07 May 2004: "John 10:27-29
    promises us like as 'sealed'
    inn us, IF we follow Him,
    OR ... if we do NOT follow Christ, He might
    losse us 'out of his hand?"

    John 10:27-29 (HCSB):

    My sheep hear My voice, I know them,
    and they follow Me.
    28 I give them eternal life,
    and they will never perish--ever!
    No one will snatch them out of My hand.
    29 My Father, who has given them to Me,
    is greater than all. No one is able
    to snatch them out of the Father's hand.


    Sorry, I see no IF clauses here.
    Maybe those IF clauses come from
    somewhere else where Jesus said :confused:
    or some non-biblical source where some
    stranger goes speaking for Jesus :confused:
    Anyway, those IF clauses are NOT
    found in the referenced scripture.

    John 10:27-29 is in fact the keystone
    passage for the Doctrine of
    the Security of the Believer.

    DPT: // 12) Revelation 19:11-16 "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

    //Which Coming of the Lord is this one? His 2nd or 3rd?//

    3rd.
    In you third coming, Jesus comes in power and glory
    to destroy the antichrist and the false prophet and
    establish His physical 1,000 Year Long Kingdom on Earth.
    Note here in this passage the armys of heaven.
    I believe these to be US, the church age elect saints that
    were raptured 7-years earlier. All these billions of church
    age saints with their white robes and on white horses --
    from a thousand miles away will look just like white water
    clouds.

    Matthew 24:30 (HCSB):

    Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear
    in the sky, and then all the tribes of the land will mourn;
    and they will see the Son of Man coming

    on the clouds of heaven
    with power and great glory.



    DPT: // 13) Matthew 16:27-28 "For the Son of man shall Come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man Coming in his kingdom."

    //Which Coming of the Lord is this one? His 2nd or 3rd?//

    Both.
    At your second coming, Jesus will come to get us, His
    chosen ones and Judge us for our good works.
    At your third coming, Jesus will set aside the evil ones
    for future judgement and destruction (2 Peter 2:4)
    1,000 years later (Rev 20:5).

    DPT: // 14) Matthew 24:3 "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of Thy Coming, and of the end of the world?"

    //Which Coming of the Lord is this one? His 2nd or 3rd?//


    Both.
    This is the template by which the rest of the Mount
    Olivet Discourse can be understood. Jesus answers these
    three quesitons in the order asked, not the order in
    which the events will transpire.

    "sign of Thy Coming" refers to your 3rd coming.
    "sign ... of the end of the world" refers to your 2ed coming.

    Ed,

    I did put Norton Security Internet into my computer, include Norton Anti-Virus too. But my computer told me, it is low memory. That mean, I have to buy a new better computer more speed, more memory. In June, I will buy a new computer with over 240 GHZ, 400-500 MB, and to install Norton Security Internet into that new computer and to block virus, pop-ups attacks, etc..

    My computer still have problem with virus and pop-ups attacks. Because it is low memory. It is 120 MB, it is low. I need 400-500 MB to block them. So, this month, I will buy a new better computer.

    I will continue to discuss more about 'Which Coming' after I get a new computer.

    In Christ
    Rev. 22:20 -Amen!

    You have too much storages in your PC, but you need to clean them up -- delete unnecessary softwares, emails, cookies, Internet files, etc.... After you cleaned them up, your PC memory will be ok.

    Years of time have come and gone
    Since i first heard it told
    How Jesus would come again some day
    If back then it seemed so real
    Well, i just can't help but feel
    How much closer His coming is today.

    Signs of the times are everywhere
    There's a brand feeling in the air
    Keep your eyes upon the Eastern skys
    Lift up your head
    Your redemption drawreth nigh
