Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted August 8, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 8, 2015 And your Scripture verse that reinforces the declaration that "Technology today is the technology at the time of the tribulation period."Â is where?

Members Genevanpreacher Posted August 8, 2015 Members Share Posted August 8, 2015 Probably where the blood moons and such mumbo jumbo are mentioned.Eric, have you heard about the piece of Psalms that were found in Ireland or Scotland, where the book was opened to Psalm 83?

Members Invicta Posted August 8, 2015 Members Share Posted August 8, 2015 The church has always been in the tribulation.Joh 16:33  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.Throughout the world, Christians still have tribulation, N.Korea, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Rwanda, to mention but`a few. Old-Pilgrim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is referencing The Great Tribulation spoken of in Scripture, there is a difference. The church age is not the great tribulation; that is yet to come.

Members John81 Posted August 8, 2015 Members Share Posted August 8, 2015 Nowhere does Scripture stipulate man has to reach a certain technological level before the end can come. While God can use the things of man for His own ends, one of the key elements of the Great Tribulation is that it's God's wrath being poured out and the people, lost people, recognize it as such.If the end couldn't come until the technological advances of 2015, that means Christ's return couldn't have been imminent for the past 2,000 years. Is that in accord with Scripture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Standing Firm In Christ Posted August 8, 2015 Members Share Posted August 8, 2015 We have technology (satellites) that allow the world to view events. (The two witnesses in Jerusalem come to mind) Â however, I have a feeling Eric is not referring to satellites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted August 8, 2015 Members Share Posted August 8, 2015 As I heard a preacher say to this effect, "God doesn't need satellites, the internet, or worldwide TV to make sure everyone sees what He wants them to see. After all, if God can't bend light and refraction or otherwise cause events to be seen by all, He's not Almighty."Along these same lines, God didn't need nuclear missiles to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. God wanted the destruction of those cities to be clearly His doing.God doesn't need modern weapons in order to pour out His wrath upon man. God may choose to use man in the process, but the wording in Revelation points to God making it clear what's happening during the end is coming directly from Him.

Thank you very much for bringing out the biblical interpretation between the tribulation Christians experience in this life and the world wide Great Tribulation Period in the Book of Revelaltion.

Please keep up the good work.AlanThanks Alan, it seems elemental to me. Just because the word is "tribulation" does not by default make it "The Great Tribulation" that God will bring about in the last times.

Members Standing Firm In Christ Posted August 9, 2015 Members Share Posted August 9, 2015 I do agree the the wrath will be coming by God. Â However, I believe the satellites will play a role in the viewing of events. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted August 9, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2015 And before satellites we were told that we would see it through the medium of television, remember that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric Stahl Posted August 9, 2015 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2015 It Is Time The RFID chip makes the mark of the beast and the ability to restrict buying and selling possible.Yes satellites and TV and internet make viewing the two witnesses possible.Technology has increased knowledge as Daniel 12:4 foretold.Cars, airplanes, rockets, and fuels have man running to and fro as Daniel 12:4 foretold. Isaiah 25:4-7 tells us that the blast of the terrible ones will destroy the veil and covering over all nations. That is why the heaven rolls up as a scroll in Revelation 6:14. The destruction of the atmosphere will cause the sun to burn men as fire in Revelation 16:8-9. Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Standing Firm In Christ Posted August 9, 2015 Members Share Posted August 9, 2015 One problem with the RFID implant theory is inplants are not seen.  Who would know who did or did not have the mark is it is a tiny chip implanted under the skin? i believe it is a physical tattoo, not a RFID chip.

Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted August 9, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2015 Eric, Even if all the things you listed are a part of God's plan, The statement "it is time" doesn't apply. God's time table of events is perfect, always has been, always will be.The events in the book of Revelation are sequential, the Rapture is first, then the Great Tribulation. So your statement of "it is time" is not correct according to Bible timelines.As for me, my time is better spent getting the Gospel out and reaching lost souls than it is to waste time trying to guess the time of the end. If God had wanted me to know when "it is time", He would have told me. His instructions to His church were to preach the Gospel to every creature and watch and wait for His coming. I hope that I will be found as one of the wise virgins, waiting and watching. I need not worry about the mark of the beast, I will not be here, I will be with the one who died for me.  Rev. 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. EKSmith, Rosie and John81 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
