Scripture is what you are scared of. That is what you are scared of.
Matthew 13:12
For whoever has [spiritual wisdom because he is receptive to God’s word], to him more will be given, and he will be richly and abundantly supplied; but whoever does not have [spiritual wisdom because he has devalued God’s word], even what he has will be taken away from him.
James 3:17
But the wisdom from above is first pure [morally and spiritually undefiled], then peace-loving [courteous, considerate], gentle, reasonable [and willing to listen], full of compassion and good fruits. It is unwavering, without [self-righteous] hypocrisy [and self-serving guile].

Exactly bro! He cannot even bring one Scripture to the table that teaches the Pretrib delusion. He is married to a Jesuit invention and refuses to turn. It is on his own shoulders. He knows he has nothing and has admitted it.

Do you even know what the wrath to come is?Seems some are not ONLY going to Experience the wrath to come....
But exert their energy desperately trying to get others to jump on board WITH them. Akin to foot-soldiering for satan. YIPES!
Interesting how Scripture challenges bothering to teach they who stand against Christ’s teaching....and warn them of the wrath to come...
Luke 3:
[7] Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Interesting how Scripture verifies those with Christ Jesus are already delivered from the wrath to come.
1 Thes 1:
[10] And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

Clouds....have a unique and lovely spiritual purpose!!
Yes. Seals, Trumps, Vials, Woes, PlaguesDo you even know what the wrath to come is?
Rev 11:Revelation 11:18
And the nations (Gentiles) became enraged, and Your wrath and indignation came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and [the time came] to reward Your bond-servants the prophets and the saints (God’s people) and those who fear Your name, the small and the great, and [the time came] to destroy the destroyers of the earth.”
We clearly escape it.
Jn 5
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life
The wrath to come is the wholesale destruction that destroys all the wicked after the righteous are rescued at the one final future coming of Christ.
There is no place for your imaginary 7 year trib or 3rd coming.
Wholesale destruction that destroys all the wicked?
(Bulk selling of destruction for others to sell?
What does that mean in your mind?)
Where are you during all your wholesale destruction...?
Who are you, the bulk seller or bulk buyer of destruction?
When are the “righteous rescued” before, during, after, your wholesale destruction?
Where ARE the “righteous who are rescued”?
How long does your wholesale destruction Last?
Why do you repeatedly LIE saying I claimed a 3rd coming?
Why have those words ONLY come out of YOUR MOUTH ?
Evasive posts? LOLIf you would actually address the multiple posts on this thread that you have carefully ducked around that show a climactic and wholesale destruction of the wicked when Jesus comes then you would not keep repeating these types of evasive posts.
I see nothing whereby you CLEARLY...I have showed you clearly how all the righteouss are rescued before Jesus pours out His wrath.
I have showed you clearly how all the wicked are destroyed when Jesus comes. You avoid this because to embrace the sacred text would force you to abandon Pretrib.
Notice the wholesale destruction outlined...
If you would actually address the multiple posts on this thread
I have showed you clearly how all the wicked are destroyed when Jesus comes. You avoid this
Evasive posts? LOL
ARE you EXCLUDING yourself from answering SIMPLE questions?
I see nothing whereby you CLEARLY...
Say...HOW the righteous are rescued.
Say...WHERE ARE the righteous who ARE rescued.
HOW ARE “all” the wicked are destroyed?
WHEN “Jesus” comes? Okay.... WHEN “is’ that ?
IS WHEN “Jesus” comes foretold in Scripture? IF so...WHAT Scripture?
Not a DATE....But rather....BEFORE a named event and AFTER a named event?
Your list of random numbers reveal no basis for your wholesale destruction claim.
BTW...WHO do you identify as “THE RIGHTEOUS” ?
I am going to take them one at a time. It will show the reader who takes Scripture literal or not and who is adding unto Scripture or not.
I Thessalonians 5:2-7 the enormity of this climactic event: “the day of the Lord will come (or appear or arrive) as a thief in the night. 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. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.”
The “wrath” of God is here linked with the “sudden destruction” that befalls those that are in the dark when Jesus comes. Significantly the whole context of this reading is the destruction of those who abide in darkness and the rescue of those who are in light. There is no third group that is half enlightened. Despite the destruction that hits all left behind the writers reassures the believer that they will escape this awful fate.
- Do you literally believe Christ is coming suddenly and unexpectedly "as a thief in the night" as the Bible says (1 Thessalonians 5:2)?
- Do you literally believe the wicked will experience "sudden destruction" from His appearance as the Bible says (1 Thessalonians 5:3)?
- Do you literally believe the wicked "shall not escape" as the Bible says (1 Thessalonians 5:3)?
I Thessalonians 5:2-7 confirms that it isn’t just Christ’s coming that is sudden but also the destruction that accompanies. Likening Christ’s return to “a thief in the night” capably serves to impress the surprising nature of His coming for the lost. It shows that the wicked are caught abruptly in their folly at the apocalypse. The “sudden destruction” is so impactful that none escape. That is explicit in the narrative. Furthermore, we learn that the speed that the pain of childbirth hits a woman will be like the destruction of the wicked. It is not saying that 'the whole child-birth experience is like the coming of the Lord' which would be needed to allow for the Premil understanding. After all, they have to stretch the judgment out over centuries, but it is not found in this text. In doing this they diminish the sudden nature of the destruction.
The coming of Christ is here (as 2 Peter 3) likened to the appearance of “a thief in the night.” Moreover, the narrative demonstrates that the judgment that accompanies this climactic event is instantaneous and that it involves “sudden destruction.” Its focus is directed fully and entirely upon the sum-total of the wicked, not merely a percentage of them. This group that is referred to as “they” who “shall not escape” relates to the aggregate Christ-rejecting community alive at His return. They are later described as those who are “of the night” and “of darkness.” It is they alone that experience immediate and “sudden destruction” which “cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child”; and “they shall [assuredly] not escape.” This climactic event pulls down the curtain on time and concludes the affairs of this life.
