Welcome reader! As I noted the other day, I believe I've been censored, so the remaining few of you who are able to read this are lucky.... or is it really luck? Last week I proposed that just as time, light and gravity can vary in the cosmic scheme of things, so reality itself can be locally altered, bent, warped or negated. This is the nature of what we call "a miracle". Some miracles are observed: some are not. This week I continue the subject, if only for my own clarity of thought on the subject.
People sometimes say that time "flies". An old joke suggests that if you really want to see time fly you should throw a clock through the window. Most people who repeated this little witticism didn't realize how much truth there was to it. For anything to travel from A to B time is required...
Paul, in addressing a false teaching going around in his day which claimed that the Day of the Lord had already come and gone, speaks of two things which will unmistakably precede and mark the commencement of the real Day of the Lord. Then, while expounding on these two signs, he says that some will believe "the lie". What is the nature of this future untruth?
Could Jesus Christ come for His Church today or tomorrow, in a surprise rapture event, leaving planes to fall from the sky and empty cars to crash in traffic? In Part One (find it on the home page) I discussed the faulty application of Jesus' words, “You do not know the day or the hour” to the pre-tribulation rapture theory. This post continues on from there. It's taken from my book (link below).
Could Jesus Christ return without notice, at a time we aren't expecting Him to come and with no prior notice? I will demonstrate in a two-part article that Biblical "imminence" is taken out of context to prove a pre-Tribulation rapture. Most especially I will draw attention to the fact that Jesus spoke of the imminence of his coming to those who would still be on the earth during Tribulation events.
