Drake, Jr.,
And Jesus has to come as a "thief" and many will miss his coming.**********
I understand this passage to mean only quickly, like a thief. When you think there is peace and safety,then sudden destruction
cometh.
****those who do see him, those eyes that do get to him must be those "nations of the earth" who are part of the Messianic arrangement*******
What about Revelation 1:7. What does "every" eye mean to you? "....and they also
which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him...."
Go to 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 and tell me about Jesus walking again on the earth. "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: 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."
******and here's the date, December 26, 1992****
If that was the date, then what is 11 Peter 3:10 talking about? "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a
great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up".
