Thanks for your response Denis. You are connecting two dots only. There are other dots that give a clearer picture. For example, the antichrist (that Wicked) is destroyed when Jesus returns. “and then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming” 2 Thess. 2:8. This being the case, the judgment and fate of the Anti-Christ (Beast of Rev. 13) is determined BEFORE the Lord returns to raise up the saints. When the Lord returns, the fate of everyone is already determined. “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:12
It seems you are unfairly judging me by insinuating I don’t believe the promises of the church. In a sense you are right. I firmly believe the promises of God as stated by Him in His word. Keep in mind the promises of the church and tradition cannot be relied upon because there is a false church headed by the beast of Revelation 13. Be careful to believe the word of God alone…Sola Scriptura and you and I both cannot go wrong in our journey with Jesus. Have a great day my friend…
