    The Scriptures do not even hint at this Ed. Can you give me one text that supports this? I would be interested in seeing where this comes from.

    So do people believe that there is going to be a secret rapture? The Bible tells us that there is going to be a second coming.Will there now be three?

    Consider this:

    When the last Gentile that is
    going to get saved gets saved, then
    Jesus will come again to rapture
    the church age gentiles/Messanic-Jews
    at the pretribulation rapture/resurrection.
    The Tribulation Period will start.
    In the middle of the 7-year Tribulation
    the antichrist will commit the Abomination
    of Desolation (A.O.D.) and millions
    of Jews will realise that antichrist
    is a false messiah, Jesus is the
    real messiah.


    Which concepts here do you accept as
    scriputral? (I'll have to sell those
    concepts to others, just not you you.)

    1. Some think that God has an inflexable
    timeline which cannot possibly change.
    Agree or not, Bro DD?

    2. Some think the Tribulation period
    judgement will last 7-years.
    Agree or not, Bro DD?

    3. A/c will commit the AOD mid-trib.
    Agree or not, Bro DD?

    4. pretribulation rapture of the
    church age gentiles and Messanic Jews.
    Agree or not, Bro DD?

    5. Millions of Jews (far over half)
    will see the A/C commit the AOD and
    believe in Jesus as their Messiah.
    Agree or not, Bro DD?

    Different people
    mean different stuff by "secret rapture".
    Tell what you believe "secret rapture"
    means. Nobody knows when it will be
    (probably soon) -that secret i accept.
    Everybody will notice when 400,000,000
    people are missing from the world
    (or perchance their life is missing
    and most of their body left behind).
    In this sense, there is no "secret rapture."

    1. coming of the preincarnate Jesus
    as the
    2. (implied in the Bible as the first coming) coming of Jesus as a babe in Bethlehem
    3. coming of Jesus back to the earth after
    emptying out hades
    4. (called the second coming, start of the day)
    coming of Jesus for His own
    5. (called the second coming, end of the day"

    There are lots of ways to divide events.
    The Bible chooses to speak of the second
    coming, the Day of Christ (a 7-year day) [​IMG]

    This shows two distinct
    groups:


    1. when: pretribulation rapture/resurrection
    who: church age saved gentiles (Messanic JEws)
    what: selected for special service
    to JEsus as a reward for deeds done in
    the human body before the rapture/ressurection

    2. when postribulation resurrection
    who: national Jews saved mostly at the AOD
    what: live in the Millinnial Kingdom

    I have a few questions:

    Was Noah raptured during the flood or was he protected in his situation?

    Was Daniel raptured from the lions den?

    How about the three in the fiery furnace?

    How about Lot and his family?

    Does anyone see a pattern here?

    Spirit and Truth: "Was Noah raptured during the flood
    or was he protected in his situation?"

    Noah was NOT on the surface. Others on the surface
    of the earth died; Noah didn't even get his feet
    (well, except for that event with the doggie ;) )

    Spirit and Truth: "Was Daniel raptured from the lions den?

    No. God was with Daniel in the midst of the lion's den.

    Spirit and Truth: "How about the three in the fiery furnace?

    No, God was with the three Hebrew children in the firey furnace
    (BTW, if that was Jesus was it his first appearance?
    second appearance? third appearance?)

    Spirit and Truth: "How about Lot and his family?

    Lot and his daughters were rescued from the judgement
    of Sodom, taken out of Sodom.

    Spirit and Truth: "Does anyone see a pattern here?"

    Yep, the two that were used as examples by Jesus
    in the Mount Olivet Discourse (MOD) are cases
    where God took people away from the judgement.
    The two that are not used as examples by Jesus
    in the Mount Olivet Discourse (MOD) are cases
    where God protected the people in the midst
    of the event.

    Ed, I agree with all five of those things. I still don't see where that eliminates gentiles from salvation.

    S & T, perhaps you could show me one.

    All you have managed to do is list people that God protected. Very convincing since none of them have a thing to do with the rapture.

    Try using a relevant argument.

    The issue isn't how many bible stories you can come up with. The issue is what the text actually says about the rapture. That makes your little examples nothing more than a waste of computer space.

    STOP LOITERING!

    S&T:

    Last time I checked Ed, the ocean was part of the earth.

    Ed:

    No. God was with Daniel in the midst of the lion's den.

    S&T:

    And that lion's den was firmly a part of the earth.

    Ed:

    God was with the three Hebrew children in the firey furnace

    S&T:

    And that fiery furnace was firmly planted on the earth.


    Ed:
    Lot and his daughters were rescued from the judgement of Sodom, taken out of Sodom.

    S&T:

    So, they were moved from one part of the earth to another part of the earth not too far away.


    So where are you guy's going to be waiting for the early rapture bus?

    Fair enough DD. Let's see your pre-trib argument.

    </font>[/QUOTE]They are NOT
    "eliminated from salvation", they
    each choose NOT to be saved instead
    of to be saved.

    They keep teaching us to share our testimony
    with others. Who will share their testimony
    when all the church age Christian elect
    saints are are GONE?

    They keep saying we should pray for the
    lost. Who will pray for the lost when
    all the church age Christian elect
    saints are are GONE?

    Put the five pieces together, the conclusion
    is likely: no gentile will be saved
    during the Tribulation Period Judgement.

    The second best interpertation is that
    when a gentile does get saved in the
    Tribualtion Period Judgement, their
    first act of faith is to get their head
    chopped off. Thus there will be no
    living saved gentiles during the
    Tribulation Period.

    No.

    John 14:1-3 (TMB = Third Millinnium Bible)

    "Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God;
    believe also in Me.
    2 In My Father's house are many mansions;
    if it were not so, I would have told you.
    I go to prepare a place for you.
    3 And if I go and prepare a place for you,
    I will come again and receive you unto Myself,
    that where I am, there ye may be also.


    Where on Earth is Jesus living?

    The following is how I responded to a similar question in another forum. I believe that Jew and Gentile will have the chance to accept Christ during the Tribulation. For those who have heard pre-trib the choice will be the final chance and it will not come very far into the trib time.

    A) What does that have to do with when Jesus returns?

    B) What is the address of the New Jerusalem?

    Ed, I still don't follow your argument. You think that no gentile will get saved during the tribulation. I don't see any text that hints at such a position. I don't think your conclusion is valid at all.
