Just what do think they were embracing when they were promoting all those lies about David Koresh?? They were calling him a cultist, because he preached the true name of CHRIST, the name of YEHESHUA, and he preached the truth about where we were in Prophecy, he didn't promote some fantasy!
Thier own teaching notes old testament verses which speak of the DAY OF THE LORD as a DAY OF DARKNESS as being the SECOND, SECOND COMING in the 1st trump rapture doctrine. YET here they take things out of context, just as the fail to overlook a single COMMA in CORINTHIANS,
here they attach this chapter as BEING A SEPARATE EVENT FROM THE LAST FIVE VERSES of CHAPTER 4, and they use the man made conventions of Chapter and VERSE separations to draw away from the fact this was a letter origninally, and the ideas in CHAPTER 4, DONT STOP, and NEW IDEA START at chapter 5, not at all, it's the same SUBJECT!
AND THEY WOULD PREACH VERSE 2 in CHAPTER FIVE as the 1st TRUMP
RAPTURE, and verse 4 of CHAPTER FIVE as the LAST TRUMP "DAY OF THE LORD", as if they are 2 events even in this CHAPTER ALONE, but THEY ARE THE SAME DAY...THE DAY OF DARKENESS IS THE DAY THAT TAKES MEN LIKE A THIEF, IT IS THE TIMEFRAME OF THE SECOND COMING...THE 1St TRUMP RAPTURE IS A FALLICY AND THE VERY SCRIPTURES MOST OFTEN USED TO PROMOTE THE NOTION PROVE SUCH!!!
Sure, flying in the sky and going to walk on streets of GOLD SOUNDS FUN!
HEY, I THINK MAY HAVE CRACKED THAT ADAM AND STEVE JOKE ONE TIME MYSELF, But God named the FEMALE... ADAM, just as he did the MALE, he didn't name her EVE, and scripture doesn't teach A FIRST TRUMP RAPTURE DOCTRINE EITHER....YOU GO READ REVELATIONS, see what all has progressed by the time this world gets to the first trump, many seals are already opened, all but one in fact...before the FIRST TRUMP EVER SOUNDS!!!
AND WHEN THE DAY OF THE LORD ACTUALLY HAPPENS, HE WILL COME UPON MEN LIKE A THIEF... and it will be a day of great darkness... and yet in churches all across the land tomorrow, misguided preachers having never done any real investigation to the belief sets they adopt as their own! And they will in true tradition promote not only ignorance in the approach to matters prophetic, but those fallacies will lead other misguided souls to abominable practices in their attitudes towards such an event, leading them to not only think themselves to not be witness to such tragedy upon the land, but to actually thinking themselves to be absent...PRAY FOR THE VERY EVENT!
THEY PRAY FOR IT!
Doing so in ignorance of that which they ask for....not knowing what they do, it to bring "WOE" upon themselves....as they seek only escape
Consider this passage in AMOS Chapter 5:
AMOS 5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
AMOS 5:19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
AMOS 5:20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Now go back to I Thessalonians and Read those last five verses in Chapter 4 again, then read chapter 5 here in it's entirety, you will see
those last 5 verses in context, you will see yes, we meet Christ in the air, but he is on his way to earth. And in AMOS chapter 5, after addressing that this is all referencing the DAY OF WRATH, a DAY OF DARKNESS with NO LIGHT IN IT, that will TAKE MEN LIKE A THIEF, we see verses 5 and six begin to prepare us to understand the CHILDREN OF GOD, will also be in this world in that GREAT TIME OF TROUBLE!! And I Thessalonians chapter 4, is not in fact teaching some fantasy, but preparing us, to a time of great trouble, to know to comfort ourselves by the knowledge of PROPHESY! A comfort that will come not only knowing the truth of the times that such time will have been prophecied, but also the DELIVERANCE for those who “STAND TO THE END”! NOT some fantasy…for those WHO ARE ON THE EARTH, with no concern FOR THAT DAY, because we will simply disappear and then we are going to go have CHICKEN DINNER AT A KENTUCKY
FRIED HEAVEN???
I Thess 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep,that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
I Thess 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
I Thess 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
I Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
I Thess 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
I Thess 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
I Thess 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
I Thess 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
I Thess 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
I Thess 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
NOW...look, it goes on to use war preparation terminology, to prepare our mindsets, that in that moment, those translated will instantly be coming back to do battle, but not a mindset out of wrath against mankind, against this world, But out of Love for Christ, love for God, and when the strike at Jerusalem, HIS JERUSALEM, then will have gone too far.
I could say more but I wont...you see they that be whole need not physician, and until those embracing these ideas can see clearly the fallacy in them, there is no need in discussion of any truth beyond the obvious.
