".....Book VI, Chapter V, Section 2 (Entire) Concerning A False Prophet 2. And now the Romans, judging that it was in vain to spare what was round the holy house, burnt all those places, as also the remains of the cloisters and the gates, two excepted; the one on the east side, and the other on the south; both which, however, they burnt afterward (1). They also burnt down the treasury-chambers, in which was an immense quantity of money, and an immense number of garments, and other precious goods, there reposited; and, to speak all in a few words, there it was that the entire riches of the Jews were heaped up together, while the rich people had there built themselves chambers, [to contain such furniture.] The soldiers also came to the rest of the cloisters that were in the outer [court of the] temple, whither the women and children and a great mixed multitude of the people fled, in number about six thousand. But before Caesar had determined anything about these people, or given the commanders any orders relating to them, the soldiers were in such a rage, that they set the cloister of fire; by which means it came to pass that some of these were destroyed by throwing themselves down headlong, and some were burnt in the cloisters themselves. Nor did any one of these escape with his life. A false prophet* (2) was the occasion of these people's destruction, who had made a public proclamation in the city that very day, that God commanded them to get up upon the temple, and that there they should receive miraculous signs of their deliverance. Now, there was then a great number of false prophets suborned by the tyrants to impose upon the people, who denounced this to them, that they should wait for deliverance from God; and this was in order to keep them from deserting, and that they might be buoyed up above fear and care by such hopes. Now, a man that is in adversity does easily comply with such promises; for when such a seducer makes him believe that he shall be delivered from those miseries which oppress him, then it is that the patient is full of hopes of such deliverance (3). Whiston's Footnotes 1 Reland here justly takes notice that these Jews who had despised the true Prophet, were deservedly abused and deluded by the false ones. PRETERIST PERSPECTIVES 1. Isaiah 1:7; 26:11; 33:12; 66:15; Jeremiah 5:14; 7:20; Matthew 3:11-12; 13:40, etc. Matthew 24:4-5 "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many......." EXCERPT: VISUAL TIMELINE OF THE ROMAN-JEWISH WAR TRACKING THE FIRST JEWISH REVOLT FROM AN THEOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW POV: Administrative | Factional | Military | Theological INVESTIGATING CORRELATIONS BETWEEN JOSEPHUS' ACCOUNT AND THE FIRST CENTURY FULFILLMENT OF BIBLE PROPHECY "And all this prophecy of what would result from their insolence against the Christ has been clearly proved to have taken place after their plot against our Saviour. For it was not before it, but afterwards from that day to this that God turned their feasts into mourning, despoiled them of their famous mother-city, and destroyed the holy Temple therein when Titus and Vespasian were Emperors of Rome, so that they could no longer go up to keep their feasts and sacred meetings. I need not say that a famine of hearing the Word of the Lord has overtaken them all, in return for their rejection of the Word of God; since with one voice they refused Him, so He refuses them."

The latest revelations about Hagee were too much for McCain. McCain Denounces Hagee.
I'm not following this election much...I'm not voting. I did some research on Hagee a while back...I came to the conclusion he wants to get the Jews back to Palestine to fulfill the PTB's Armageddon plot. BTW, from the article: "...Hagee is one of the country's best-known evangelical Christian Zionists; he founded a pro-Israel alliance of Christian groups and has donated tens of millions from his Texas-based ministry to support humanitarian causes in Israel. He has said he is driven by the belief that the creation of the state of Israel, and the return of Jews to Palestine, are God's will. "A hunter is someone with a gun and he forces you. Hitler was a hunter," Hagee says in the sermon. "And the Bible says -- Jeremiah writing -- 'They shall hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and from the holes of the rocks,' meaning there's no place to hide. And that might be offensive to some people but don't let your heart be offended. I didn't write it, Jeremiah wrote it. It was the truth and it is the truth. How did it happen? Because God allowed it to happen. Why did it happen? Because God said my top priority for the Jewish people is to get them to come back to the land of Israel."...." I don't see that being the meaning of that passage at all. Before that passage is this: Jer 16:14 ¶ Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; Jer 16:15 But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. I think this refers to God bringing the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel [Exekiel 34] into their own land [Ezekiel 34:11-13]. The Lost Sheep of the House of Israel is the church [Jesus : I am not sent but to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel. To the Pharisees: you are not my sheep.]. He said this while the Israelites were in Israel, so He obviously was talking about the prophetic Israel (the church) and their new promised land, which I have stated more than once (understatement) is America. What land did He give to their fathers? the whole world: Deu 11:24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be. http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Deu/Deu011.html#24 But He said he would return them to the land. "...a land where your fathers have dwelt..." : Eze 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, [even] they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David [shall be] their prince for ever. [Ezekiel 37 talks about the restored Israel joined in the hand of Christ, resurrected in their new land www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Eze/Eze037.html#21 ..... Mat 8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. Mat 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth....there's those wheat and tares again.] Well, the Israelites were in America a long time ago before Columbus: The Saga of Ancient Hebrew Explorers -- Who Really Discovered America? ...... Israelites were here before us! They left signs of their presence everywhere -- ... http://www.hope-of-israel.org/hebinusa.htm I don't know, but I suspect it MAY have happened somewhere around here: after Rachel died.....Jacob, probably heartbroken, took a trip to take his mind off it [just surmising here, of course]. Gen 35:21 ¶ And Israel [Jacob] journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar. Gen 35:22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard [it]. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Gen/Gen035.html#21 "Edar": Outline of Biblical Usage Migdal-eder = "tower of the flock" 1) a shepherd's watchtower near Bethlehem Authorized Version (KJV) Translation Count — Total: 2 AV — Edar 1, syn reading "tower of the flock" 1 Gesenius's Lexicon (Help) http://cf.blueletterbible.org/la....cfm?Strongs=H04029&t=kjv Correlating Passages Mic 4:8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Gen/35/21.html I don't have any proof that's how it happened, but for now, that's my story and I'm sticking to it:). At any rate, for Hagee to say that passage in Jeremiah being about the Jews going back to Palestine is hogwash. God told them THIS IS NOT YOUR REST: http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Mic/Mic002.html#10 Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. ===========================
As I said earlier I don't argue about religion and if you don't believe in the Rapture of course that is between you and God. But I think Corinthians--1 Corinthians 15, verses 51-58 is about the rapture. But again, I am not arguing.
1 Corinthians 15, verses 51-58 I don't want to argue either, but, since this is my thread, I don't want to leave the impression with others reading this, that I agree with you, because it would defeat the purpose of the thread. I believe God intends to create heaven on earth, with the New Jerusalem at the core. Maybe that is where we who will be kings and priests to the nations [Rev. 5:9-10], will be changed in the "twinkling of an eye", receiving bodies incorriptible, and be like Him: http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/1Jo/1Jo003.html#2 1Cr 15:42 — So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised [* http://cf.blueletterbible.org/la...n.cfm?Strongs=G1453&t=kjv ]in incorruption: http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/1Cr/15/42.html the "kingdom of heaven": http://www.blueletterbible.org/c...anything.x=0&anything.y=0 Dan 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, [but] it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Psa 145:13 Thy kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion [endureth] throughout all generations. Isa 9:7 Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Luk 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Psa 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion..... Psa 22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. Psa 72:11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. Psa 86:9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. Dan 7:27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Dan/7/27.html Isa 66:18 ¶ For I [know] their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory. Isa 66:19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, [to] Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, [to] Tubal, and Javan, [to] the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles. Isa 66:20 And they shall bring all your brethren [for] an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD. Isa 66:21 And I will also take of them for priests [and] for Levites, saith the LORD. Isa 66:22 ¶ For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh [ http://cf.blueletterbible.org/la....cfm?Strongs=H01320&t=kjv ]come to worship before me, saith the LORD. Isa 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Isa/Isa066.html#18 Luk 1:33 — And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Mic 4:7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation [THAT'S US]: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. 1Cr 15:24 Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 1Cr 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. Hbr 1:8 But unto the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom. Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Revelation - Chapter 21 Rev 21:1 ¶ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. [note heaven and earth symbolic for the old temple and city; sea = peoples, separated from God, or something like that] Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. [ **** www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Isa/Isa062.html#4 -5] Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God. Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. Rev 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son..... http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Rev/Rev021.html Rev 22:1 ¶ And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, [was there] the tree of life, which bare twelve [manner of] fruits, [and] yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree [were] for the healing of the nations. Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: Rev 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in their foreheads....... "please don't rapture me....the kingdom of heaven is on earth." ==========================

None of what you posted--none--negates the Biblical concept of the rapture. The Bible is not contradictory when it is not taken out of context. You don't have to believe in the rapture, there is no law that requires you to. I trust that it will be ok with you if I still do believe in it since I believe the Bible is clear about it.
