Sure..but who do you think the angel is talking too if not the world below? Is he talking to himself? Is he talking to God? Why say anything at all unless he’s talking to the people of the earth? God already knows what he’s gonna do about the mark but He wants to warn the people on earth because He doesn’t want people to be thrown in the lake of fire where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.Blessed are those who study the book of Revelation for they know what's going on and see that everything is going according to Script.
At that point, all believers were already raptured and are with Jesus Christ in heaven, therefore the angel must be talking to or warning those people who are left on earth after the rapture, perhaps jews and sinners/unbelievers...Sure..but who do you think the angel is talking too if not the world below?

That’s what I thought too but if you read more..At that point, all believers were already raptured and are with Jesus Christ in heaven, therefore the angel must be talking to or warning those people who are left on earth after the rapture, perhaps jews and sinners/unbelievers...
Hell no,No, the chip MUST be volunteeringly taken. I dont think for that reason plus the size of the chip, that it will be inplanted against our will and in nano size.
Where in the chronology do you place Revelation 16? Particularly this verse.That’s what I thought too but if you read more..
Revelation 14:12-13
Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “so that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow with them.”

It’s after this at v.14 to the end of the chapter that the rapture happens..when He reaps and then the wrath of God upon the earth? That’s the way it looks to me anyway.
Where do you think it goes?Where in the chronology do you place Revelation 16? Particularly this verse.
15 ¶ Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
I know where it goes, and if it’s any time after the Rapture, you have a problem.Where do you think it goes?
Just like you have a problem with nations?I know where it goes, and if it’s any time after the Rapture, you have a problem.
Jesus is saying that those who watch for his coming are blessed. But if all the Christians have been raptured, and no one is able to get saved, who is watching for him?
This dream is about you LisaJust like you have a problem with nations?
Nation
in the Bible : a non-Jewish nationality
Who do the nations conspire— Psalms 2:1 (Revised StandardVersion)
Since He says He comes like a thief..I’m thinking He’s talking about the rapture...however it does seem odd that he would talk about it in the part about God’s wrath. So then there is also a problem with the pre trib position?
Which there is anyway with 2 Thessalonians where there is no rapture until after the anti is revealed.
Isn’t that an oxymoron..the unsaved Christian?This dream is about you Lisa
u can keep doing mental gymnastics and misinterpreting scripture, but the dream was about you.Isn’t that an oxymoron..the unsaved Christian?
I’m not sure how the dream is about me..honestly. And how does what he thinks when he says the Lord will give them extra time or sent him to rescue Karen stack up against the 10 virgins?
Matthew 25:8-12
The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’ But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’

I think he’s watched too many disaster movies because that’s a pretty long dream to remember all those details. Lol..and my not believing these dreamers doesn’t make me a non Christian..
I didn’t get all the way to the end..there was so much wrong with it getting to the middle was hard..so if he said something that pertained to me near the end..I didn’t see it.u can keep doing mental gymnastics and misinterpreting scripture, but the dream was about you.
You think that "nations" means "unsaved", but you don't have an answer for Matthew 25:Just like you have a problem with nations?
Nation
in the Bible : a non-Jewish nationality
Who do the nations conspire— Psalms 2:1 (Revised StandardVersion)
That's not what 2 Thessalonians says, though. Read it again.Since He says He comes like a thief..I’m thinking He’s talking about the rapture...however it does seem odd that he would talk about it in the part about God’s wrath. So then there is also a problem with the pre trib position?
Which there is anyway with 2 Thessalonians where there is no rapture until after the anti is revealed.
The reason I think Matthew 25 is talking about the end of the millennium is because He brings up eternal life and eternal punishment..whereas people are just going into the millennium to live under Jesus rule. No one is being judged until the white throne judgement at the end of the millennium.You think that "nations" means "unsaved", but you don't have an answer for Matthew 25:
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Why would Jesus Christ separate the nations into sheep and goats, if, according to you, they're all goats?
That's not what 2 Thessalonians says, though. Read it again.
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
I'm very interested in how you deal with verses like this.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Does that not sound to you like the day of the Lord not only comes after the wrath of God has begun, but also like people can continue to be saved throughout? It sure does to me.
2 Thessalonians, and the rest of the Bible (Isaiah 2:12; 13:6, 9; Ezekiel 13:5, 30:3; Joel 1:15, 2:1,11,31; 3:14; Amos 5:18,20; Obadiah 15; Zephaniah 1:7,14; Zechariah 14:1; Malachi. 4:5; Acts 2:20; 1 Corinthians 5:5; 2 Corinthians 1:14; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Thessalonians 2:2; 2 Peter 3:10), confirms that the day of Christ, or the day of the Lord, as it's more commonly referred to, won't come until after a host of other pretty awful events. The day of the Lord is written of in scripture, over and over again, as a time of fear and judgment for unbelievers. The Rapture, on the other hand, has no preconditions, and no fear attached for anyone.
If I know you, you're going to get hung up on the phrase "thief in the night", and use that to deflect the couple dozen verses I just listed.
What verses?Can’t be pre trib because of those verses talking about the rapture not happening until after the abomination of desolation.
I guess you don’t know me like you thought I didn’t feel like looking up all those verses you mentioned. Not when 2 Thessalonians tells us what we need to know.You didn’t address a single point I made.
What verses?
But that doesn't match what Jesus tells us is happening. This verse tells us when the sheep and goats judgment will happen.The reason I think Matthew 25 is talking about the end of the millennium is because He brings up eternal life and eternal punishment..whereas people are just going into the millennium to live under Jesus rule. No one is being judged until the white throne judgement at the end of the millennium.
I didn't say they were Christian nations. The only point I have ever made is that the nations are not entirely comprised of unbelievers. If they were, this verse doesn't make any sense.As for the nations..is there really Christian nations? I’ve never heard of them.
There is an important point you are missing. Only saved people may ENTER the millennial kingdom, but those saved people will have children, and those children will have children, and in the course of a thousand years, some of those will most certainly not be obedient to the Lord. How many generations does it take for a family of believers to become a family of unbelievers? How many generations between David and Absalom? Between Eli and his sons? A world with only believers in it stays that way only until a child gets old enough to say, "I don't believe." If you want to know why Jesus will need a rod of iron, there's your answer. It's not for the nations entering the millennium as much as it is for the nations that will multiply within it.Christianity is all about saving the individual not the nation. And like I’ve said..Jesus is ruling with a rid of iron..can we assume it’s only saved people in the millennium?
The verses in Thessalonians and the verses in Joel are talking about the same thing, aren't they?I’m not sure why you’re bringing Joel into this. But as for 2 Thessalonians I’ve already brought it up many times to disprove the pre trib rapture. Can’t be pre trib because of those verses talking about the rapture not happening until after the abomination of desolation.
