J-47. NEW Evidence for a PRE-TRIBULATION Rapture!
I was watching some videos on the end times to see if any new revelation has been given by the Holy Spirit and I came across two videos showing that they had NEW evidence for a pre-tribulation rapture of the church. One video focused on the three harvests in the Old Testament as being types or figures of ALL three raptures being prophesied.
In other words, instead of there being just ONE rapture this NEW evidence is said to be showing us that ALL three views are correct and there will be THREE raptures. According to this so-called new evidence, there will be a pre-tribulation rapture of the church, a mid-tribulation rapture of the church and a post-tribulation rapture of the church.
Now the other video focused on the feasts being in a chronological ORDER where Jesus has already fulfilled the first four spring feast and of the remaining three fall feasts there is a DUAL fulfillment of the feast of ATONEMENT and how the feast of trumpets comes BEFORE the feast of atonement and the feast of tabernacles.
I will leave the links to both videos at the end of this study but they both can easily be shown to be in error by simply considering the “WHEN” of when we will ALL be made perfect at the SAME time according to Hebrews 11:39,40.
Hebrews 11:39,40.
“And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received NOT the PROMISE:
40. God having provided some better thing for us, that they WITHOUT US should NOT be MADE PERFECT.”
In other words, not one single soul up in heaven will RECEIVE the PROMISE of eternal life UNTIL we ALL receive eternal life at the SAME TIME altogether. To say this another way, NO ONE gets raptured until we ALL get caught up in the air to meet Jesus at the SAME TIME.
Now some may argue that while it is an undeniable truth that we all receive our new glorified immortal bodies at the same time this does not prove that there is only one rapture.
Well, to that argument I say what Scriptures do you have for there being a rapture that does NOT have a resurrection from the dead where our MORTAL bodies are CHANGED to IMMORTAL bodies?
I mean you cannot use 1 Thessalonians 3:13-18 for a PRE-tribulation rapture because it involves our resurrection and change from mortality to immortality.
You cannot use 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 because it involves our change from flesh and blood mortality to flesh and bone immortality.
So the ONLY way you can have a PRE-tribulation or a MID-tribulation is to have MORTAL human bodies being taken up into heaven for 7 years or for 3 ½ years which is a direct contradiction of 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 that clearly teaches us in SIMPLICITY that MORTAL flesh and blood CANNOT inherit the kingdom of God. The whole chapter 15 is on the SUBJECT of the RESURRECTION which is WHEN we receive our PROMISE of eternal life to rule and reign with Jesus in the world to come.
1 Corinthians 15:49-58.
“ And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. (The PERFECT image of the divine nature of IMMORTALITY)
50. Now, this I say, brethren, that flesh, and BLOOD (Or MORTAL human beings. Mortal life is in the BLOOD) cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51. Behold, I show you a mystery (Or I reveal and explain to you a secret or what has been hidden and now is made known); We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be CHANGED, (Or made PERFECT by RECEIVING our PROMISE of ETERNAL LIFE all TOGETHER at the SAME moment in time.)
52. In a MOMENT, in the twinkling of an eye, AT the LAST trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be RAISED incorruptible, and we shall be CHANGED.
53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, THEN shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, DEATH is swallowed up in VICTORY. (The second DEATH shall have NO power over us AFTER we RECEIVE our PROMISE of ETERNAL LIFE in the world to come which takes place AT the LAST TRUMPET.)
55. O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
56. The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
57. But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
So then, what did we learn so far? We have learned that we ALL will receive our PROMISE of ETERNAL LIFE at the SAME TIME altogether. In other words, our CHANGE is a ONE TIME EVENT that where we are ALL changed from being mortal to partaking of the divine nature of IMMORTALITY to bear the IMAGE of the heavenly.
And we know that this takes place AT the RESURRECTION of the dead IN Jesus Christ. AND we know that this resurrection takes place AT the MOMENT that the LAST TRUMPET begins to sound. In other words, there MUST be a TRUMPET associated with the Rapture of the church and that trumpet MUST be the LAST trumpet to sound.
Now, going back to the so-called THREE rapture theory that uses Matthew 24:27-31 to try and prove his three rapture theory let us see if there is a TRUMPET and then let us see if it is the LAST trumpet.
Matthew 24:27-31.
“For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (According to this so-called THREE raptures theory, verse 27 is the PRE-tribulation rapture)
28. For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together. (Now, his explanation is not clear but he seems to be using this verse for BOTH the pre-tribulation rapture and the mid-tribulation rapture because the following verse most definitely speaks of a POST tribulation rapture. Although he does try to explain away the second coming of Jesus does not immediately follow the great tribulation.)
29. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: (He explains that what actually follows the great tribulation is the SIGNS in the sun, moon, and stars which I THINK he is trying to say is the MID-tribulation rapture which makes NO sense to me seeing that these signs come AFTER the great tribulation and NOT in the middle of the great tribulation.)
30. And THEN shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a TRUMPET, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
Now I do not know about you but I myself only saw ONE TRUMPET which we ALL agree is the SECOND coming of Jesus. And just mere common sense should tell you that ANY OTHER trumpet BEFORE THIS trumpet in Matthew 24:31 could NOT possibly be the LAST trumpet because we clearly see in SIMPLICITY that there is indeed a TRUMPET sounding AT the SECOND coming of Jesus where we ALL shall be CHANGED at the SAME time. Plain and SIMPLE a PRE-tribulation trumpet could NOT ever be the LAST trumpet. And the Bible ITSELF specifically states as a FACT with no interpretation need that our CHANGE from mortal to immortality takes place AT the LAST trumpet when it shall BEGIN to sound the MYSTERY of God shall be accomplished.
Please read Revelation 10:7.
“But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, (Or the SEVENTH and LAST trumpet) when he shall BEGIN to sound, (Or AT the MOMENT that the LAST trumpet shall sound) the MYSTERY of God should be finished, (Or accomplished) as he has declared (In 1 Corinthians 15:50-64) to his servants the prophets.”
There can only be ONE second coming. There can only be ONE LAST trumpet. And there is only ONE MYSTERY that will be accomplished or finished AT the MOMENT in a twinkling of an eye at the LAST trumpet as it BEGINS to sound.
Therefore the Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY that there is but ONE SINGLE Rapture of the church which takes place exactly when Jesus himself said it will take place in Matthew 24:27-31.
As I promised, here is the link to the THREE RAPTURE THEORY and here is the link to the NEW EVIDENCE THEORY.
Now, for the TRUTH of the THREE HARVESTS.
Please read 1 Corinthians 15:16-26.
“For IF the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17. And IF Christ is not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins.
18. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19. IF in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. (These 3 verses are hypothetically saying IF Jesus was not raised from the dead THEN WE who BELIEVE in Jesus who have DIED in the Lord will not be raised from the dead either. BUT we know that Jesus was raised from the dead so that means that WE who BELIEVE IN Jesus who are found faithful WILL be resurrected from the dead but we shall NOT ALL die before his COMING.)
20. BUT NOW IS Christ risen from the dead, and (HE Jesus Christ alone and by himself has) become the FIRSTFRUITS of them that slept. (In other words, be COMFORTED with these words CONCERNING them which sleep or who have died IN Jesus Christ. See 1 Thessalonians 3:13-18)
21. For since by man came death, by man came also the RESURRECTION of the dead.
22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23. But every man in his OWN order: (And here is that ORDER that is given to us in THREE steps or in THREE different and SEPARATE RESURRECTIONS taking place at three different times as three separate events) #1. Christ the firstfruits; afterward #2. they that ARE Christ's AT his COMING.
24. #3. Then comes the END, WHEN he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25. For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet.
26. The LAST enemy that shall be destroyed is DEATH.”
So then, we have THREE distinctly DIFFERENT resurrections. The resurrection that has ALREADY PAST which took place on the feast of FIRSTFRUITS right after the feast of PASSOVER which was when Jesus was crucified. And in that resurrection, Jesus has become the FIRSTFRUITS of us who BELIEVE in Jesus now, in this present world, before the end of this present age.
The next resurrection is called the FIRST resurrection in Revelation 20:4-6 which we will read in a moment. And according to 1 Corinthians 15:23, 1 Thessalonians 3:13-18, 1 Corinthians 15:50-54, Hebrews 11:39,40, Matthew 24:27-31, and Revelation 20:4-6 ONLY those of us who are IN Jesus Christ AT his COMING will be resurrected, be CHANGE in a MOMENT from being mortal to being given our PROMISE of immortality all at the SAME time AT the LAST trumpet to rule and reign with Jesus in the world to come.
And then the THIRD and FINAL resurrection does not take place until the END which is WHEN DEATH shall be destroyed and cast into the lake of fire AFTER the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
So then, we have the winnowing of the FIRST FRUIT of the BARLEY which we know is Jesus Christ ONLY because those saints who rose WITH Jesus that ascend to heaven will NOT be made PERFECT WITHOUT US according to Hebrew 11:39,40.
Hebrews 11:39,40.
“And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received NOT the PROMISE:
40. God having provided some better thing for us, that they WITHOUT US should NOT be MADE PERFECT.”
Please understand the Jesus was a wave offering and not an actual harvest meaning that the fields are white to harvest. There are actually only TWO HARVESTS. I personally would not call Jesus a HARVEST.
The FIRST harvest will be those who are IN Jesus Christ. In other words, if one is NOT IN Jesus Christ when they die or when Jesus returns that they will NOT be resurrected and CHANGED from mortal to immortality to INHERIT the kingdom of God.
Now, the JEWS were God’s FIRST chosen people but they kept breaking the Old Covenant so God promises that he would make a NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel AND with the house of Judah. Without going into a deep explanation WE who BELIEVE IN Jesus are, spiritually speaking, the house of Judah from which Jesus has his lineage being of the tribe of Judah. Sadly, even though many thousands of Judah received Jesus as the Messiah, it was only a remnant compared to the total population of the Jews before God turned to the Gentiles.
So then, PENTECOST began the age of the body of Jesus Christ who is IN Jesus Christ. This present church age will extend all the way up to the WRATH of God which is at the COMING of Jesus who will execute the WRATH of Almighty God the Father.
BUT immediately before the WRATH of God is poured out there will be a HARVEST because we the church are NOT appointed to God’s WRATH. Please understand that the 3 1/2 years of GREAT tribulation is NOT the WRATH of Almighty God. Please read the study “WRATH OF GOD VERSUS THE GREAT TRIBULATION!” for all the verses that prove that the 3 1/2 years of great tribulation is NOT the WRATH of Almighty God. And this HARVEST is those in ORDER #2 of 1 Corinthians 15:23.
1 Corinthians 15:23.
“But every man in his OWN order: (And here is that ORDER that is given or explained to us by the apostle Paul in THREE steps or in THREE different and SEPARATE RESURRECTIONS taking place at three different times as three separate events) #1. Christ the firstfruits; afterward #2. they that ARE Christ's at his COMING.”
Again, ONLY those of us who are IN Jesus Christ AT his COMING will be given eternal life to rule and reign with Jesus during his 1000 year reign in the world to come. To say this another way, ONLY those of us who ARE Christ’s AT his COMING will be raptured to ESCAPE the WRATH of God.
And during the WRATH of God will be the crushing of the GRAPES. But God’s WRATH will be lifted lest all men perish. So then OUT of the WRATH of God will come the 144,000 sealed JEWS and those left alive of the nations to be TAUGHT of the Lord DURING the 1000 year reign of Jesus. And THEN the END will come which is WHEN the GLEANING of the second and final harvest takes place and the FIRST chosen people of God will be the LAST to receive eternal life at the END of the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
In other words, the FIRST shall be LAST and the LAST shall be FIRST to me means that the Gentiles who BELIEVE or who ARE Christ’s are the LAST chosen people of God after the Jews who are the FIRST chosen people of God. And we the church both Jews and Gentiles who BELIEVE IN Jesus Christ are the last chosen people of God but we will be the FIRST people of God to be given eternal life AT the COMING of Jesus. Then the Jews who will survive the wrath of God, who are the first chosen people of God, will be the last people of God to BELIEVE IN Jesus as their Messiah and they will receive eternal life at the END when the last enemy DEATH has been destroyed in the lake of fire.
Please read 1 Corinthians 15:24-26.
“24. #3. Then comes the END, WHEN he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25. For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet.
26. The LAST enemy that shall be destroyed is DEATH.”
There will NOT be THREE comings. There will NOT be TWO “second” comings. There are only TWO comings of Jesus taught in the Bible and his FIRST coming has already been fulfilled. There are three resurrections but Jesus ALREADY fulfilled one of those three resurrections so that leaves TWO and ONLY two resurrections left to be fulfilled.
The FIRST resurrection takes place BEFORE the 1000 year reign of Jesus and the second and final resurrection takes place AFTER the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
Please read Revelation 20:1-15.
“And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (This is AT the COMING of Jesus which is found in Revelation 19.)
2. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that, he must be loosed a little season. (Again this is at the COMING of Jesus which is immediately before his 1000 year reign where one of the things done is to bind Satan in the bottomless pit for 1000 years with the intention of letting him loose again AFTER the 1000 years has ended. And you should be asking yourself WHY would God do this? Why would God let Satan loose again to deceive the nations? Please read the study “UNDERSTANDING WHY?”)
4. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had NOT worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (Here we see those who are IN Jesus Christ are being RESURRECTED AFTER the 3 1/2 years of the GREAT tribulation which is when the mark of the beast will be enforced. Remember Hebrew 11:39,40 where we ALL receive our PROMISE of ETERNAL LIFE at the SAME time which is AT the COMING of Jesus according to 1 Corinthians 15:23, 1 Thessalonians 3:13-18, Matthew 24:27-31, and 1 Corinthians 15:5--54.)
5. But the REST of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. (So then, the FIRST resurrection is AT the COMING of Jesus when order #2 those who ARE Christ’s AT his COMING are harvested BEFORE the 1000 year reign of Jesus to rule and REIGN WITH Jesus for a 1000 years and THEN everyone else is resurrected AFTER the 1000 year reign of Jesus is finished.)
6. Blessed and holy is he that has a part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years. (In other words, you will want to be a part of order #2. And take part in this FIRST resurrection because ONLY those of us who are IN Jesus Christ AT his COMING will receive the promise of ETERNAL LIFE and will rule and reign WITH Jesus during the 1000 year reign and all other humans who SURVIVE the WRATH of God, crying out for mercy, will be spared alive in their MORTAL bodies to be ruled OVER with a rod of IRON during the 1000 year reign of Jesus.)
7. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8. And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9. And they went up on the breadth of the earth and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
11. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12. And I saw the dead, small and great, STAND (In their resurrected MORTAL bodies along with those who remained alive after the second half of God WRATH is poured out upon those making war with God’s people.) before God; and the books were opened: and ANOTHER book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13. And the sea gave up the dead which was in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead which was in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. (In other words, the REST of ALL the dead who have ever died from Adam to those who will yet die DURING the 1000 year reign of Jesus to those who will die during the final war at the END of the 1000 year reign of Jesus will be resurrected and judged according to their works written in the books. Now we KNOW that at least SOME will be saved DURING the 1000 year reign of Jesus and they will be written in ANOTHER book of LIFE. They will be the FIRST who will be the LAST to receive eternal life because the LAST have already been the FIRST to receive eternal life BEFORE the 1000 year reign of Jesus and the SECOND DEATH has NO power over us. That is why we will be BLESSED to take part in the FIRST resurrection BEFORE the 1000 year reign of Jesus. To say this another way, the REMNANT of ISRAEL who are God’s FIRST chosen people will be the LAST who will receive eternal life.)
14. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
One last passage of Scripture to prove to you that the WRATH of God, crushing the GRAPES, is not truly a HARVEST, as in, bring in the harvest to reward them with ETERNAL LIFE.
Please read Revelation 14:12-20.
“Here is the patience of the SAINTS: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (We have TWO witnesses for God here and they are God’s people Israel and the Christians, the only two groups of people in all the earth who bear witness of the one true God. But ONLY the Christians have the testimony of Jesus BEFORE the WRATH of God is poured out. So ONLY the Christians are NOT appointed to God’s WRATH.)
13. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.
14. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in your sickle, and reap: for the time is come for you to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. (Verse 14-16 is speaking of the COMING of the Son of man in clouds of glory to reap his harvest of those who ARE his at his COMING. Order #2. According to 1 Corinthians 15:23.)
17. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. (Israel and those left alive of the nations are not FULLY RIPE until the END of the 1000 year reign of Jesus. There are TWO WRATHS of God. HALF of God’s WRATH is poured out BEFORE the 1000 year reign of Jesus and the last half of God’s wrath of poured out after the final war after the 1000 year reign of Jesus)
19. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the WRATH of God. (Now, some do, indeed, survive the FIRST HALF of God’s WRATH that Jesus will execute AT his COMING immediately after Jesus “raptures” his beloved saints who will be given the HONOR of helping Jesus execute the WRATH of Almighty God upon the wicked and the DISOBEDIENT to the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ.)
20. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.”
Now in this same chapter, we see the 144,000 sealed JEWS being the FIRSTFRUITS of THIS GRAPE harvest. I personally believe that the 144,000 are not the WHOLE remnant of God to be saved alive of Israel. I see the 144,000 being Jews who have been seeking God DURING the great tribulation but NOT accepting Jesus as their Messiah to become a PART of the church. In other words, they will understand that the Messiah is COMING but not yet know and understand that Jesus IS their Messiah. And the REST of Israel will be by birth and in “name” only, kind of like some Christians are Christians in name only not truly KNOWING Jesus in a personal relationship.
Also, Zechariah 14 teaches us that there will as well be those left alive of the NATIONS who will go into the Millennium in their MORTAL bodies along with the 144,000 and the rest of the remnant of Jews.
Please read Zechariah 14:16.
“And it shall come to pass, that every one that is LEFT of ALL the NATIONS which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.”
Now we know that this is the FIRST HALF of God’s WRATH because they keep the feast of tabernacles from year to year and if they do NOT obey then they shall suffer the SAME plague of God’s WRATH that they just survived.
Plain and SIMPLE there are TWO harvests, TWO wars, TWO WRATHS of God, TWO resurrections, and TWO times that God’s people receive the promise of eternal life.
One HARVEST, one WAR, ON half of God’s WRATH, the one FIRST resurrection and the FIRST to be given eternal life is BEFORE the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
And the SECOND harvest, the SECOND war, the SECOND half of God’s wrath, the SECOND resurrection and the LAST to receive eternal life is AFTER the 1000 year reign of Jesus.
Now, here is the DANGER in teaching that ALL three raptures will take place.
#1. When it does NOT happen Christians may turn away from God by being deceived by the enemy that if the church lied to you about this then maybe none of what the church teaches is true.
#2. Some Christians may be deceived into having the attitude that they have THREE chances to be saved. And WHILE they are WAITING for the first chance to come and go there will be NO first chance and the real coming of Jesus will come and they will be living in sin because of the FALSE teaching of THREE raptures.
So you can rest assured that there is NOT going to be any PRE-tribulation rapture to escape the 3 ½ years of the great tribulation.
And I am 99.9% sure that the major persecution of Christians and the Jews will be in that ONE-FOURTH of the region of the LAND called the Middle East as to where the MARK of the beast will be enforced with the threat of beheading by the radical Islamic Muslims. Please read the study “COULD ISLAM BE THE MARK OF THE BEAST?” and all the related studies.
This does not mean that Christians will not be persecuted and mocked all over the world but rather means that the beast will be given the power to KILL only ON ONE-FOURTH of the LAND. In other words, anywhere OUTSIDE that ONE-FOURTH of the region of the world Satan has NO AUTHORITY to KILL Christians.
Please read Revelation 6:8 from the Young's Literal Translation.
“and I saw, and lo, a pale horse, and he who is sitting upon him -- his name is Death, and Hades doth follow with him, and there was given to THEM authority to KILL, (over the fourth part of the LAND,) with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and by the beasts of the land.”
Now please read Revelation 6:8 from another LITERAL translation.
“And I perceived and be perceiving horse green and the one sitting upon it name of him the death and UNPERCEIVED is following WITH him and was given to THEM AUTHORITY or JURISDICTION to KILL ON the FOURTH of the LAND in saber or sword in famine (No buying or selling) in death (Or by other means of killing) and by WILD beasts of the LAND.”
Most translations say one-fourth part of the “earth” but the Greek word also means LAND, the dirt, the ground, the region of the earth. But when we see the word “earth” we think of the entire globe, the entire world. And then some INTERPRET this verse as the antichrist killing 1/4 of the human POPULATION of the entire world. And thus the PRE-tribulation has taught SO MUCH FEAR that Christians cannot cope so they heap to themselves teachers that will tickle their ear with an ESCAPE of the great tribulation doctrine.
So if you are a reader who is OUTSIDE that one-fourth region of the world then Satan has NO JURISDICTION to use radical Islamic Muslims to KILL Christians outside what God has allowed. Therefore take AUTHORITY OVER your region of the world and command Satan to take his hand of destruction OFF your land. And join in prayer for God to give STRENGTH to our brothers and sisters IN that one-fourth of the land to not deny Jesus as their Lord and savior.
Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
