    There are martyrs in Rev 20:4. They get there from Rev 12:17. Those are new converts in the Trib being killed for their testimony of Jesus Christ. You do not factor in the tremendous work of the 144k and the 2W. You also ignore the facts from Rev 6:10 and Rev 9:4-6. No believers enter the Trib...

    Apostle Paul wrote 1 Th 4:16-17, rapture verses that perfectly fit Acts 1::11. Who breathed those words into him? Paul was inspired by God about the rapture before he wrote 1 Th 4 and 2 Th 2. 1 Th 1:10 was his first writing about the timing of the rapture. He used “delivers us” in the context...

    1 Th 1:10 is about the timing of the rapture: before the Trib. God’s wrath (wars) begins in Rev 6:4, the 2nd seal. That fact perfectly complements the applicable meaning of “delivers us.” Delivers us" in 1 Th 1:10 means we are snatched away (raptured): "The second usage of deliverance refers to...

    In Acts 1-11, only His disciples were present for the Ascension. You find words to quote and you ignore their context. Each context will invalidate your claims because the context will prove they don’t apply to the rapture. You just go by words that suit your fancy. You ignore the context...

    I said pick one to disprove. None of those disprove what will happen with 1 Th 4:16-17. They fit perfectly with Acts 1:11. No other verses fit perfectly with Acts 1:11. In Acts 1:9-10, Jesus ascended in the view of believers, only (His disciples). Jesus ascended into heavenly clouds, into...

    Paul wrote 1 Thessalonians in AD51. The rapture verses are 1 Th 4:16-17 (ESV): For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are...

    Jesus is perfect in every way, including His grammar. In Rev 3:10, “you” and “those” cannot relate to the same group. “You” was used to address folks in Jesus’ presence. In reference to “those who dwell on the earth,” he was referring to folks very distant. Jesus chose the correct words, and...

    Where does the Bible say seals 1 - 5 begin in AD1? You are ignoring all proof that “those who dwell on the earth” are unbelievers. Rev 3:10 therefore is about two groups: “You” is we believers, and “those” are unbelievers since they are “those who dwell on the earth.” We are therefore not on...
