7 Reasons the church does not go through the great tribulation

[DavidTree]

@DavidTree

David, it was not me, but C. I. Scofield that used that term.

They used their own term, and folk like goats just follow whoever comes along with foods! Goats are natural foragers, and their desire for new and interesting food is a powerful instinct to drawn them even to strangers.

My apology, i was very busy and did not read all that i should have from your post.

Victoria, yes the church was taught by the apostles of a future coming of many antichrist, the likes the world has never seen, per Daniel, Christ, etc. To what degree every believers was aware of this is questionable, since most biblical truths/teachings go right over the head of most. They were taught of one more visible/revelation coming of Christ, no secret coming of him. The first resurrection was a spiritual in nature per Jesus Christ and takes place when one is born of the Spirit of God. All who are partakers of this resurrection, the second death has no power over them.

The Body of Christ is not appointed to God's wrath "aka" the seven-year tribulation. 1 Thessalonians 4:17; 5:9
Paul tells us our conversation is in heaven. Philippians 3:20; 2 Corinthians 5:1; Colossians 1:5

Jesus is presently sitting on the right hand of God the Father in heaven.

"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory." Colossians 3:1-4

John 5:25​

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.”

Revelation 20:6​

“Blessed and holy is he that hath 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.”

Continue in context...

"Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."
John 5:28-29

First resurrection = The just to life. Revelation 20:6
Second resurrection = The unjust to damnation. Revelation 20:11-15

"But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection."
Revelation 20:5

This reign started when Christ was exalted to David's Throne at his resurrection from the dead.

Acts 2:30,31​

“Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.”

A literal, not spiritual, sitting upon David's throne following His future second coming, during His Millennium reign on the earth.

I listened to the gentleman on the video that you posted ~ he was very insecure in what he believe as he stumbled through his message trying to deny that the Church (Jews and Gentiles are NOT the bride of Christ, as he try desperately to separate Jews from Gentiles and to make them God's chosen people, he was weak and very unsure of what he thought he saw. Maybe he was sincere, but sincerely wrong.

No scripture to refute his sermon? Red Baker, he's a brother much older in years, & not as mentally sharp as he used to be.
That doesn't make a pastor, who has been one for decades, insecure in what he believes.


Promise of Restoration
Ezekiel 11:16-20; Amos 9:11-15

Israel to Be Renewed for "His" Name's Sake [NOT Theirs]
Ezekiel 36:22-28

A New Covenant
Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 8:8-12

New Heavens and a New Earth
Isaiah 65:17-25; 2 Peter 3:10-16; Revelation 21


The book of Hosea is a discription of how God will remarry Israel in the end.
Here's a post I made on the topic: The Bride, The Lamb's Wife

To expound a little more on my previous post...

The Body of Christ are members of His body. 1 Corinthians 12:27; Ephesians 5:30
Where there is neither Jew, 'nor Greek, male, 'nor female. Galatians 3:28

The Body of Christ in Ephesians 5 is referred to as "it", not her. Ephesians 5:25; 27
The apostle Paul said we are God's husbandry. 1 Corinthians 3:9

How then could we come to the conclusion that Jesus Christ will marry Himself?
We also have to take into consideration God's view on marriage/divorce.

"And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." Matthew 19:9

If God replaced Israel w/ the Body of Christ as His bride, He'd be guilty of committing adultery,
would He not? We have to be really careful b/c He isn't a God of double standards.

 

[Victoria]

How could Israel be brought back into a marriage covenant without God violating His own law?

"Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance."
Deuteronomy 24:4

"Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?"
Romans 7:1

This helped me to understand a lot more behind His death, burial, & resurrection. He died for the sins of His people.
The Body of Christ is a mystery, was kept hid in God until he revealed it to the apostle Paul.
