solite3: Ok. Even though, we don't agree. There are people reading the comments and learning. I will ask you only two questions more and then I will end it there. |

annyplenty:ok, I m sorry my tone may be harsh but pardon me, I really commend your effort in your evangelism and want to encourage you to continue in your good work, God bless you. Alright what are the questions and by God's grace we will search out the scriptures to give us answers. |

solite3: Your tone is not harsh and I have not been offended; only that I try not to go into argument. I also commend your brotherliness and humility in seeking pardon for a supposed offence. Mathew 24:21-22 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect�s sake those days shall be shortened. The Lord Jesus Christ said in the above scripture that great tribulation shall arise which has not been its kind since the world began and immediately concluded that if the days of those great tribulation were not shortened no flesh shall be saved and then He said for the sake that the elcts might be saved, the days of the great tribulation were shortened because of them. Why should the days of the days of the great tribulation be shortened for the elects to be saved out of it, if the elects will not witness some of the days? 1 Like |

annyplenty:ok thanks. Even though the rapture takes place before the great tribulation but there are saints who would partake of the great tribulation these are called the tribulation saints, they would be killed for their faith in Jesus because they refuse to take the mark of the beast. Note taking the mark of the beast means rejection of Jesus and God and also, acceptance of the antichrist and lucifer. The pretribulation saints includes the revived israel according to the prophecy by God's prophets and paul when he said in the book of romance all israel shall be saved which are the remnant. Romans 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: Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: The book of revelation gave us the exact number of the remnants, which are 144 000. Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Also a huge number of Gentiles shall also be saved. Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; So inconclusion, there are people who are going to be saved after the rapture but they will go through the persecution of the antichrist and also killed for their faith. Infact, I believe the rapture will take place, satan and his angels would be thrown out from the heavenly realm, the devil and his angels will be thrown down to the earth as written in revelation 12 all within a twink of an eye and also I believe the raptured saints would see satan and his hosts cast down to the earth as they are raised to meet Jesus. The dragon would be confined on earth, in the which he will go and persecute those who keep the commandments of God Revelations 12 by raising his own direct Government through the antichrist, Revelations 13. |

solite3: You said in your reply which I extracted above that -1. rapture takes place before the great tribulation -2.the tribulation saints will be persecuted and beheaded by the antichrist -3. alot of gentiles shall be saved. From point two, it shows that the tribulation saints cannot be the elects because they are not saved out of the great tribulation. If they were saved out of it, they should not have to die horrible deaths in the hands of God's greatest enemy. It follows that Only those who made the rapture are qualified to be refered to as the elects. And since you said from point one above that the rapture takes place before the rapture and also said in point 3 that gentiles too will make rapture, and you quoted Revelation 7:9 to bolster your point which I quote below. Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; How come then in verse 13and 14 John was told that the people you quoted in revelation 7:9 came OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION. Revelation 7:13-14 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, [u]What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 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, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. How can you explain this because you cannot come out of something unless you have been in it? It is obvious these people make the rapture because they are constantly washing their garments in the blood of Jesus (they are constantly REPENTING). They are the elects. The tribulation saints became careless with their repentance and salvation and that is why they miss the rapture. Some of them could have even died in the sudden destruction that accompanies rapture and gone to hell. 1 Like |

annyplenty:what do you mean by being qualified as an elect? Election is by grace. Every saved person is an elect. Revelation 7 didnt say they were saved out from tribulation but rather they came out from great tribulation to heaven meaning they kept their faith till the end even inspite of the tribulation. And since you said from point one above that the rapture takes place before the rapture and also said in point 3 that gentiles too will make rapture, and you quoted Revelation 7:9 to bolster your point which I quote below.Revelation 7 didnt say they kept on washing their garment, rather they washed their garment in the blood of the Lamb. Which is through believing the gospel of salvation. The trribulation saints are not saints that missed the rapture. The tribulation saints are people who come to belive on Jesus after rapture. |
