Tag: THE SECOND COMING
As I shared in part two of this series, the book of Daniel foretells a succession of world empires.

If you're honestly interested in the timing of the rapture, and if you're brave enough to face the truth, here are some of the results of years of my own "no nonsense" study on the subject. I was a "pre-trib" believer for twenty-eight years. I now know how misinformed and wrong I was. Get the … Continue reading RAPTURE 19: WHO ARE “THE HOLY ONES” WHO RETURN WITH CHRIST?
