Why I believe in a post tribulation rapture. Matthew 24:29-31 But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. We see from this passage that after the tribulation of those days, Jesus will come with clouds, angels, a trumpet, and gathering his elect. 1 Thess. 4:13-18. But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. We also see in this passage Jesus coming on the clouds with a trumpet and angels and gathering his elect. Unless you already believe that this passage was referring to a pre-tribulation rapture, you would just take it to be referring to the same event. The passage speaks of the “coming” of the Lord. If he comes down partway and goes back up, did he really come? Also, notice that Jesus will bring those who have fallen asleep in Jesus with him. That means Jesus is going from somewhere to somewhere, and those that are dead in Jesus will go with him. If Jesus goes part way down from heaven and instantaneously goes back up into heaven, he has not gone anywhere to bring anyone with him. In the same matter, if he goes down partway and instantaneously goes back up into heaven, did he really descend from heaven, as the passage states? The point of this passage is simply that when Jesus returns to earth, it won’t be just for those who are alive at the time, but that he will bring the dead in Christ with him. The comfort he was providing is that when Jesus returns to earth, those who have died will not be left out. Very simple.

“My God, my God why have you forsaken me?” This is one of the things Jesus said while hanging on the cross. Jesus was lamenting that the Father allowed his enemies to crucify him, at the same time calling upon him to rescue him (which he did by raising him from the dead ). It is a quote from the beginning of Psalm 22, where David was also lamenting his enemies having victory over him and calling upon God to rescue him. David was not lamenting that God had separated himself from David. But, my experience is that almost all Christians instead believe that Jesus quoting this indicated that this was the Father separating himself from Jesus. Why?

Being led by the spirit is the same as putting your faith in Jesus for salvation. Every Christian is led by the Spirit. Being in the flesh is attempting to be righteous by keeping in the law. Romans 8:3-4 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. Romans 8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

2 Kings 9:20 The watchman reported, “He came even to them, and he did not return; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.” The whole story of Jehu has a lot of similarities with Donald Trump.

I believe in gender affirming care. Gender affirming care would be telling a boy that he’s a boy and a girl that she’s a girl. That is affirming their gender and is caring for them. Simple. It is important that we use words for their actual meaning, and not let insane people redefine things.

Following is why I believe that the tribulation of which Jesus spoke on the Mount of Olives is on the people of Israel, started around 70 AD, is ongoing now, and will continue until Jesus returns. 1. In Matthew 24:1-2, Jesus said not one stone of the temple would be left upon another. This happened in 70 AD, when the Romans defeated Jerusalem and destroyed the temple. It could not happen later because those buildings to which He referred no longer existed after that. 2. This prompted His disciples to ask two questions – “when will these things happen” and “what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age” (Matthew 24:3). “When will these things happen” referred to when will the temple be destroyed and corresponding events. Corresponding events are included because He referred to “these things,” not just this thing. 3. Jesus referred to the defeat of Jerusalem and destruction of the temple Luke 21:20-24. Luke 21:20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.” 4. But, where did Matthew and Mark refer to this? They wrote of this in Mt. 24:15-28 and Mark 13:14-23. Mt. 24:15-16 15 “Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. Jesus spoke of the abomination of desolation in exactly the same place in His narrative as He spoke of the armies surrounding Jerusalem. 5. Daniel wrote of the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in Daniel 9:26: “Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.” The abomination of desolation spoken of by Jesus was therefore the Roman armies surrounding Jerusalem. 6. Jesus said to “therefore” flee when you see the armies surround Jerusalem/the abomination of desolation. The use of the word “therefore” implies that He had given the reason to flee. The reason is that “the end is not yet” and “these are merely the beginning of birth pangs.” That means that the end occurs after the destruction of Jerusalem and the birth pangs continue past the destruction of Jerusalem. 7. That the tribulation is upon the people of Israel is indicated by Luke 21:23-24: 23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people; 24 and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. 8. The tribulation continues until Jesus returns (Mt. 24:29-31): 29 “But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 31 And He will send forth His angels with A great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

Wrap your head around this. President Trump was impeached over wanting to look into the crimes Joe Biden just pardoned Hunter for.

Now that Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for Attorney General, how about Kash Patel for that position?

Maybe the J6 political prisoners should be not only pardoned, but many of them put in charge of much of the new Trump administration.

If Democrats aren’t cheating in elections, why are they consistently and constantly opposed to election integrity measures such as requiring voter ID and removing those that are not eligible voters from voter rolls?
