Why Israiel's Peace Treaty and The Rapture Are Imminent
Anyone is welcome to join in this discussion, but let's be cool about it okay, and just discuss, not argue. Thank you.
The Rapture is imminent. What do you think the purpose of the tribulation period is for? Jesus promised in 1st Thessalonians that He would save all around the world, who have accepted Christ as Savior, from the "wrath to come", which is nothing but the tribulation period, and the rising of the Antichrist.
False teachers claim that we are in the tribulation period right now, but that is not true. The tribulation period, according to scripture, does not start until the Antichrist signs a peace treaty with Israel, in the future. Another reason that theory is wrong, is because if we were in the tribulation period, we would also know who the Antichrist is and he doesn't reveal himself until later.
One of the end-time prophecies described by the Prophet Daniel, is the unveiling of the deceptive peace treaty that the Antichrist will force Israel to sign. The treaty will promise calm, but after three and a half years, the Man of Lawlessness [the Antichrist] will use it as a pretext to invade israel. The prophet Isaiah warned that this treaty will be grounded in a lie and will guarantee war, because it is a covenant with death:
"We have made a covenant with death. And with Sheol, we are in agreement...for we have made lies, our refuge. And under falsehood, we have hidden ourselves." Isaiah 28:15
The goal of the Antichrist armies will be to capture Jerusalem and establish an antichrist presence in the restored Third Temple on the Temple Mount. The Lord Jesus Christ warned of this, when He spoke of the 'Abomination of Desolation' standing in the holy place at the Temple. Daniel said that right in the middle of the 7-year tribulation period, the Antichrist will capture the Third Temple and end sacrifices. Daniel 9:27 That will start a war, and at the same time, usher in the rapture, because the rapture starts, when the tribulation period first starts, then all God's redeemed shall be removed from this earth, just as God promised.
If no rapture had occured, then we would not have Christ appointing 144,000 Jewish evangelists to take the raptured Church's place. These evangelists come from each of the 12 tribes of Israel, and are given the specific role of witnessing to everyone that was left behind after the Rapture occured. They will go through the tribulation period. The 144,000 shall witness to these people about the gospel of Christ and salvation during that time.
Jesus explained the rapture in the verse, showing that those who hated, laughed, cursed, and mocked God, shall be left behind to go through the tribulation period. Look at the following verse.....mockers were left behind at the rapture. They will see that God will not be mocked. Galatians 6:7-8
"Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken (the Believer) and the other left behind. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming."
– Matthew 24:40-42
This is why I say the Bible, given under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to none other than holy men of old, is more up-to-date than tomorrow's newspaper. It gives the greatest detail of future events that only God could know, and He gave this wisdom to His prophets of old. This is also why we can claim and confirm God's Word to be Holy. It is inspired by the Holy Spirit:
2 Timothy 3:6 -17: ALL scripture is given by the inspiration of God..."
God didn't entrust nor hand down His sacred Word to just anyone:

@LadyGrace and all will have a choice. Pick your god. The One True GOD, that came move himself because He lives or the ones that have to be carried by man on their backs to get around.
@LadyGrace Perhaps you didn;t read your own post. Nearly the first sentence of your post:
"Jesus promised in 1st Thessalonians that He would save all around the world, who have accepted Christ as Savior, from the "wrath to come", which is nothing but the tribulation period, and the rising of the Antichrist."
What does that mean if it doesn't mean you believe He only came for Christians????
@Zeusdelight Maybe you didn't read John 3:16 where he said he's not wanting anyone to perish but to have everlasting life. He came to save everybody but that doesn't mean everybody wants anything to do with him and you can see that from the way people curse at him and laugh and what have you, and that won't be His fault. That's what it means. Yes..... he didn't come to save just some, he came to save ALL , just as I said, and those who have trusted him will be rightfully protected from the Wrath to come. Did you expect him to protect those who curse at him? You're the one that twisted those scriptures around. And I explained that the wrath to come is the tribulation period and the battle of Armageddon.
@LadyGrace I am not talking about people who curse or abuse Him and I didn't say anything about them. As usual, you say offensive or incorrect things about what I have or have not said.
I did say, what about the folk who live their lives as good loving people and serving the poor and other people with humility and love. People who raise their families to be good people doing acts of humility and service for others.
They just are not Christian. Does He want them to perish?

Get your story straight. Don't twist my words again. Read what I wrote:

What does it matter if you didn't say anything about people who curse are abuse him? I never said you did!! I was merely making my own statement, and you twisted it. Stop it!
YOU SAID: As usual, you say offensive or incorrect things about what I have or have not said.
Don't play this game. Don't put words in my mouth. As you can see, and I have mentioned above, you're lying. I didn't say anything offensive or incorrect about what you have said. You're the one that said that, not me. I hate when people do this and try to pass off lies, when I didn't even say that.
I did say, what about the folk who live their lives as good loving people and serving the poor and other people with humility and love. People who raise their families to be good people doing acts of humility and service for others.

REALLY . They are not Christian? How would you know? They may or may not be Christian. People do, do good things for others.
@LadyGrace I know a number of people who are not Christian who do these things, as I imagine many people do. I am not judging them in any way, they simply do not believe in a God of any sort.
@Zeusdelight Scripture makes it clear that God gave us His Plan of Salvation. If we don't follow it, there's no chance of making heaven. He made that very clear.
@LadyGrace In your interpretation, He made it very clear. You do realise amongst all Christians yours is a minority interpretation.
He also made it clear that it was His Salvation to give or withhold, not anyone else's.
I imagine you might respond along the lines that real Christians believe it to be this way. Funnily enough, I don't hear any other Christians claiming to be "real Christians," or saying this church or that church aren't real Christians.
They just concern themselves with doing good works in His name.
In your interpretation, He made it very clear. You do realise amongst all Christians yours is a minority interpretation.
He also made it clear that it was His Salvation to give or withhold, not anyone else's.
Sorry but I'm not playing your mental game here. Twist it all you like but what you said is really sick. Your interpretation is wrong. But you just go on in your little dream world and think what you want because I don't care.
@LadyGrace Really sick - what planet are you on!! How arrogant are you just to dismiss the interpretation of the majority of Christians in the World? Or to say that their views are really sick?
I do not play mental games. I just seek to understand other's views and question them if I don't agree. I don't call other people's views really sick, because I have respect for other people as creations of God.
