What message are you trying to pass with this thread?
The Bible revealed that faithful women of ancient times do use jewelries.

That anyone mentioned in the Bible did something is not a license for Christian to do it. Many of them were just learning God and never knew the way of God in full.

Solomon married hundreds of wives. Abraham went into the maid of his wife. Rebekah wore earrings and many more: all these examples are not a license to repeat what they did.

What can be used as yardsticks for our behavior as Christians are as follows, and not what a random Bible personality did.

1. What God commanded us in the Bible to do

2. What God rebuked or commended people in the Bible for doing

3. Jesus our role model: what he can do and what he cannot do

4. What ever will bring glory to God

MaxInDHouse:
My own version said Rebecca was given a nose ring!

But you boldly said I should check any version like you had done your due diligence.

MaxInDHouse:
Are you deciding for God or you want to quote where the highlighted is written in God's word?

Well i've quoted scripture for you that it is not a sin when female worshipers of God puts on jewelries!

Here is God talking to His worshipers:

I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put BRACELET upon thy hands, and a CHAIN on thy neck. And I put a JEWEL on thy forehead, and EARRINGS in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. Ezekiel 16:11-12

So God declared saying these things are not evil because He Himself adorned His female worshipers with these things!🙂

You inherently made an error by referring to Rebekah wearing nose ring and you boldly asked me to go and check it out in any version but the first version I checked says earrings instead.

But be that as it may, let me inform you that Rebekah was among the idolatrous extended families of Abraham that God called Abraham out of so that He can raise a holy nation through which Jesus can come from.

So that Rebekah wore earrings was never an approval by God. She never knew God. Her wearing earrings was an act of the idolatrous families they came from.

I will talk about the scripture you quoted above, later when I have chance

You asked me to check any bible version of my choice and the first that I checked which also happens to be the most acceptable version in the world mentioned earring.

Rebekah never knew God when she wore earrings and even if some wore, that was never the will of God for mankind

MaxInDHouse:
As soon as he had seen the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s arms, and had heard Rebekah tell what the man said to her, he went out to the man and found him standing by the camels near the spring. ‭Genesis 24:30 NIV‬

You can check it in any Bible version of your choice!

Genesis 24:30 KJV
And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.

Even then, what message were you trying to pass?

MaxInDHouse:
Well she used nose rings in her time and she is the wife of Isaac one among the Patriarchs of faith!

Quote the scripture

judedwriter:
A lot of modern day christians are not ready for the rapture. This is the laocidean church age which delights in their prosperity and big mega churches, filled with people with very low spirituality.
I am spiritual, and i if what i have been reading on the end times are true; as much as 80 percent of the church won't be raptured. Why? Carnality, worldliness and lukewarmness.

Christ is coming for a glorious church. Glory indicates brilliant light that comes from God's presence when we pray, worship and study God's word.

A few years ago, there were many frequent earthquakes all around the world. So a Christian woman in US said she asked the Lord in prayer why there were many frequent earthquakes. She said the Lord told her that many Christians were spiritually asleep. The earthquake was meant to wake them from their spiritual slumbering and knew something is about to happen. However, she said the Lord told her that despite the earthquakes they didn't wake up from their spiritual slumbering.

You are actually correct. Many Christians don't even believe rapture is about to happen not to talk of carrying out any preparation.

Sudden destruction is coming. Escape with Jesus now

MaxInDHouse:
Is Rebecca a human of faith?

I don't know

Jeremiah 2:14-15 KJV
Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?

[15] The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.

This is the situation the church has found herself, now. We need to go back to the raw gospel of Christ and Holiness. That is where the true power that the enemy cannot contend with, is.

Jesus is coming. Prepare and stay ready to escape with Him

Luke 14:23-24 KJV
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

[24] For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.


Secure your place at the marriage supper, now, now, don't let your place be given off to another person.

Jesus is coming. Stay ready

Luke 21:36 KJV
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Not only Women but are also piercing noses, and wearing nose rings, now.

They want to wear nose rings to churches but don't want pastor to rebuke them.

Repent

Incrizz:
I think I'm Going To Die By Being Beheaded for the testimony of CHRIST.

Wow, what an honour that GOD would invite me to the marriage super of The Bridegroom, wow.
Thank YOU so much JESUS.

Hehe...don't get me wrong, I will employ every GOD-given skill to ensure I stay alive from the schemes and devices of the antichrist zombies till JESUS returns.

But to get beheaded for the testimony CHRIST, wow what an awesome privilege and grace.
Thank YOU JESUS.

That the rapture is AFTER the tribulation is clearly stated in Mathew 24.

Hi incrizz, can I share some things with you

QUESTION FOR SEPTEMBER 2025

What is the difference between the two comings of Jesus in the scriptures 👇

Revelation 1:7 KJV
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

and

Revelation 16:15 KJV
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

Jokerman:
Where is it written in the bible that Rapture will happen first??

Please give Bible Reference

It is by inference not direct quote

At rapture, holy Christians are taken away from the face of the earth to heaven.

Mark 13:26-27 KJV
[26] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

[27] And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, *from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven*.

* At second coming, the raptured holy Christians will follow the Lord, Jesus Christ, *from heaven back to the earth, as his army to come and fight for Israel*

Revelation 19:11-14 KJV
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

[12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

[13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

[14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

Jude 1:14 KJV
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

Truthseeker10:
Explain how people would be in hell forever if hell itself is to be cast into the lake of fire.

But what spiritual difference does it make, if hell will be cast to lake of fire forever and people in hell will still be cast into lake of fire?

Truthseeker10:
If people who worship the antichrist will go to hell forever, explain Revelation 20:14 below.

King James Bible
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

What do you want me to explain?

The options available for you after the rapture are not easy ones; either stay with Jesus or worship the antichrist.

The options available for you after, rapture are not easy!; follow Jesus or worship antichrist.

If you stay with Jesus, you will not be allowed to go to church, not allowed to pray, not allowed to have or read Bible, not allowed to preach, not allowed to buy, not allowed to sell, persecuted and beheaded.

If you worship, the antichrist, you go to hell, forever.

Accept Jesus today and escape for your soul. Don't know what to do? Ask me!

When Rapture takes place, it officially marks the end of salvation by the blood of Jesus Christ for us gentiles. Once rapture takes place, no more salvation by the blood of Jesus Christ. Any Christian that wants to be saved must die a gruesome death by beheading in the hands of the antichrist.

It also marks the end of the church - no more salvation, no more church. All you have now, is this little time before rapture, and which is ticking away very fast; reason I can't keep quiet.

Revelation 20:4 KJV
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.


* Rapture marks the beginning of salvation by the blood of Jesus Christ for the Israelites, but not for Christians any more.

Zechariah 12:10 KJV
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

The other differences will be given, God willing, tomorrow. Watch out.

4.
* Signs are given to signal rapture. That is a big plus for us Christians and we should make use of the facts that signs are given to alert us that rapture is near to our advantage.

* Not much signs are given for second coming as are given for rapture.

3.

* At rapture, Jesus Christ, is coming for ONLY true Christians, those who have repented of their sins in Jesus Christ, and are living a holy life. He is not coming for Israelites. But if there is any Israelite that has given his/her life Jesus Christ. That Israelite has become a Christian. Jesus is coming for such Israelite; he is now a Christian above being Israelite.

However,
* At second coming, Jesus Christ is coming to fight for Israelites. He is not coming for the church or not for any Christian. Any Christian that is left behind at that time is on his own.

2.

At rapture, the Lord Jesus will not come down to the earth. He will not step down on earth. He will only appear in the sky.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 KJV
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

However,
At the second coming, he will come down on earth from heaven to the earth upon Mount olives

Zechariah 14:4 KJV
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

1.
Rapture will happen first, before the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Second coming of Jesus will take place at about 7 years after rapture takes place.
