I'm not going to argue with non-sensical attitudes.
If you don't care about the SIGNS Lord Jesus gave in His Olivet discourse, recorded both in the Book of Matthew which is from Apostle Matthew, and in the Book of Mark, and even aligned with the Seals in Revelation 6, then you are on your own...
I have to assume that you posted the above 1 Thess.4 Scripture from a belief in man's false Pre-tribulational Rapture theory.
A closer... look at what Apostle Paul actually taught there in 1 Thessalonians 4 reveals the timing when those events of Christ's coming to gather His Church will...
The Title "only begotten Son" about Lord Jesus Christ is a Title applied to The Christ being born of woman like us, but being Immanuel (God with us) walking upon this earth. (see Matthew 1:23 where another one of Jesus' Titles is Emmanuel, which means God with us).
Now what do I mean by His...
Because of Lucifer's rebellion in the old world, which was when sin and death originally entered in.
I know, most Churches don't teach the above. But God's Word does.
Per God's parable about Lucifer in Ezekiel 28, using the "king of Tyrus" as a type for the devil, God had originally created...
I have to respectfully disagree with the above.
Lord Jesus doesn't give useless essays meant to be cast in the wastebasket. He gave us His Olivet discourse SIGNS of the 'end' leading up to His future coming so we would 'watch' so as to not be deceived (Matthew 24; Mark 13). And the SIGNS He...
Just as I thought. Many talk the talk like they understand about Christ's future return and gathering of His Church, but they don't understand one of the main Bible Chapters that declares HOW it happens, and WHEN it happens. And the Message is the same in just about all... Bible versions. OK...
Well, to answer the question one should automatically know they need to go to the Book of Revelation and read what Jesus said to those two Churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia. That ought to be the first step...
Rev 2:8-11
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; "These things saith...
What's the reason that no one here cares to look at the Book of Joel where God first used the 'locust' metaphor?
Joel 1:1-7
1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even...
Yes, that's definitely true. And The Companion Bible, a KJV study Bible that the scholar E.W. Bullinger put together in the 19th century, is still the best study Bible available, in my opinion. Bullinger included Scripture references in the margin that links the subject in other Books and...
This one is easy to miss, I'll give brethren that fact.
In Matthew 24:22 when Jesus was upon the Mount of Olives giving His disciples the signs of the end they asked Him about, (Matt.24:3), He said the time of great tribulation would be shortened for His elect's sake.
What it was shortened to...
Come on folks, 1 Thessalonians 4 is a mainstay Chapter about Christ's future coming and gathering of His faithful Church. How can no one here not have understood it?
In order to understand... the whole of The Bible, it must first be studied line upon line, precept upon precept.
And some look at the Isaiah 28:9-22 Scripture and wrongly think it means NOT to study God's Word "precept upon precept..." when God is using 'their' own mocking words against them...
I'm not against Bible topic teaching, don't get me wrong. But a line upon line teaching is the method of the most coverage of God's Word.
Isa 28:13-14
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a...
And a true Bible teacher will show the Bible student how... to do Bible study for their self, using the scholarly Bible study tools which God has given us through His servants, like a minimum of a KJV Bible and a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. I recommend The Companion Bible, a KJV Bible put...
Something else to show why study of God's Word "precept upon precept,... line upon line," is real important to do.
In 1 Chronicles 4 is the genealogy of Judah.
Starting at verse 1, we are shown the lineage of Judah, with begats and such.
But at 1 Chronicles 4:9 it starts talking about JABEZ...
Well I do... believe teaching Bible line upon line is... the best way, and is God's Way.
I've noticed some who think what God said about covering His Word "precept upon precept,..." in Isaiah 28, they think that is a bad thing. No, God was actually saying that about the vanity of the leaders...
Strictly Bible, not commentaries, which I consider Bible studies as a type of commentary, because the believer who reads man's studies is still required to go directly into God's written Word and confirm what is being taught.
In 1 Thessalonians 4, Apostle Paul revealed the event of Christ's future coming and gathering of His Church.
How many 'groups' of the Church are being gathered there, and where... are they gathered from by Jesus, and when?
That kind of response doesn't deserve anything. Get it on your own, especially since I gave a strong clue already, but one must not be too lazy to go study it.
I can't really agree, since if only a few verses out of a Chapter is covered God's Message in that Chapter can be incomplete. One of the things that God does in His Word is He often puts an anchor point that seals the context in a latter verse of a Chapter, like in Luke 17:37 for example.
