Left Behind....is the Truth ?

Silver Surfer · Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2003 5:57 am Post subject: Left Behind....is the Truth ?

One of the dangers of this, is the thought that people may have a second chance at salvation, when Christ comes for his church.

Satan understands man's nature for procrastination (puuting things off til later).
And, invents a doctrine to suit his deceptive plans.

But when a person has studied their Bible...they remember the words of Jesus Christ.

"As in the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of man be", (Matthew 24:37-39).

AND IMMEDIATELY, after saying this....Christ says, there shall 2 in the field , one taken and the other left......2 gringing, one taken and the other left, (Matthew 24:40,41).

QUESTION: What happened at the time of the Flood in Noah's day ?

Was not one group saved from destruction ?

And, the other group...destroyed ?
They did not have a 2nd chance.

Do you realize that Jesus Christ warns the reader....4 times (in Matthew 24: 4,5,11,24)....DON'T be DECEIVED !

THE GREAT TRIB -- And those that came out of it Very Happy

Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes=(repented), and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

These came out of great tribulation -- which implies they were in great tribulation.

They washed their own robes in the blood of the Lamb, for only by personally accepting Christ as your savior can you be purified and your robe made white.

REMNANT OF ISRAEL

Zeph. 3:13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

The remnant are God's elect who even now "feed and lie down" in His green pastures (His Word), afraid of nothing and no one! How so? -- They trust in the Lord their God!

REMNANT SHALL BE SAVED

Rom 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

Paul was quoting from Isaiah -- this remnant are those that were used throughout all times to fulfill the plan of God.

The remnant shall be saved for the kingdom out of Israel, even during the reign of Satan, the Antichrist. God is always fair in His wisdom.

NOTE: The "remnant" is explained in detail in the eleventh chapter

PRESENT TIME = ALWAYS

Rom 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

There's always been a "remnant" on Earth from generation to generation, they were -- called and chosen from before the foundation of the Earth.

GLORY TO GOD

Rev 11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

And what of God's elect, His remnant? They feared God and gave Him glory saying along with the angel of Rev. 14:7 at this same time:

REMNANT OF JACOB

Mic 5:8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.

Who can stand against the power and strength of the Living God? Answer: No one!

And He gives that power to His servants, even power over all the enemy!

JESUS GIVES YOU POWER

Luke 10:19 reads-- "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."

ENEMIES CUT-OFF

Mic 5:9] Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.

The Sword of the Lord, the truth of His Word carried forth by His election, shall be used to cut asunder the enemies.

Have you picked it up and practiced with it lately? Rolling Eyes

God bless

Peace

--One of the dangers of this, is the thought that people may have a second chance at salvation, when Christ comes for his church.

BY ELI

huh? I don't understand what you are trying to say but it sure sounds kind of confusing?

The Lake of Fire does not occur until after the Lord’s Day or the Millennium is completed -- this is a thousand years AFTER the Second Advent of Jesus Christ in all Glory.

Revelation 20:3 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:

Jesus will return in Person and set up His Kingdom -- right here on Earth. “Thy Kingdom come” sound familiar to you?

[4] “and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years”

As for the “second chance” option?, that’s exactly what the Millennium or the “Lord’s Day” is all about. Why? Because, with the complete and utter nonsense ie traditions (of men) they’re teaching folks today, they didn’t even get a “first chance” -- and that’s just talking about the Christians!

The Millennial harvest (Fall Harvest) will be the greatest harvest of souls -- this includes all that have been deceived ie Moslem Hindu Buda etc etc etc …. . . .

So very true. Very Happy

We are supposed to follow Jesus by following Him IN His word -- NOT by following traditions of men (or woman=SDA) that make them void.

"As in the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of man be", (Matthew 24:37-39).

BY ELI

As in the Days of Noah? -- yes, just like the days of Noah, when the (naughty) Angels came down and they were partying and giving and taking in marriage to them

And -- doing “other” evil things to and with human flesh.

The subject is the "coming", the return of Christ.

Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

Go to Genesis 6 Very Happy

Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

The sons of God are the fallen angels, Nephilim in Hebrew, which are identified in Jude 6 as "the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation".

AND IMMEDIATELY, after saying this....Christ says, there shall 2 in the field , one taken and the other left......2 gringing, one taken and the other left, (Matthew 24:40,41).

BY ELI

The “First taken” are taken in marriage to the false Christ ie Spurious Messiah.

QUESTION: What happened at the time of the Flood in Noah's day ?

BY ELI

By the time the flood came – it was too late. But believe me, they had plenty of time to repent, for Noah was also a Preacher.

And, the other group...destroyed ?
They did not have a 2nd chance.

BY ELI

All were eventually given a (second) chance at Calvary –- going all the way back to the days of Noah.

God is totally fair. Very Happy

BY ELI

Yeah – I know, ie don’t let any man=(Antichrist and his angels) deceive you

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

God bless

Peace
