Truth and transparency… BLM is rightfully the Burn, Loot, & Murder movement, and should be noted for all future mentions. Kudos to Jim Willie for the correct description.
NO WHERE. The idea of a "rapture" is pure dispensational hoax promoted by the Oxford Univeristy Press "Bible", the so-called Scofield Reference Bible. False teaching all the way through it. Throw it away.
End times were defined in Gen.49:1-ff to be the last days of the tribes of Israel, and the last days of the animal sacrificial temple in Jerusalem. They were never discussing the end of the physical cosmos.

Agree the cabal have developed that hoax of an end of the world scenario, and that they are using it to enslave the entire earth. But, do they really believe their own made up story?
How do you have an end times for something that is promised to be everlasting. The church age is Christ's everlasting kingdom. And, God promised after the flood to never again curse the ground for man's sake (Gen. 8). World without end, Amen. Eph. 3:21.
Read the post I referenced about the "end of the world" as it addresses the false interpreation of 2 Pet. 3:10 re: the elements as the principals of worship. And, the Jews referred to the temple as "heaven and earth", so a new heaven and earth was the metaphor for Christ's everlasting kingdom where He is the temple.
Totally disagree, as all of that belief system is derived from ideas contained in the Scofield Reference Bible. Take the time please to look and research what the Bible really says at those posts at ShreddingTheVeil.org.
My focus is the truth of God's word. Being right needs a standard, and it must be God's standard. I believe what He says.
I typically use the KJV, and bounce it against Young's Literal Translation and/or the Interlinear. The problem is the "literalists" who do not recognize God's use of metaphors, similes, hyperbole, and other poetic methods. Some things are literal, but there is much that is metaphoric and figurative. Need to recoginize Hebraic metaphors and phrases.
Exactly. For instance, to the disciples who were "Jews" listening to Christ describe the destruction of the temple in Matt. 24 & 25, the phrase "no one knows the day of the hour" held a special meaning because that is how they spoke of the Feats of Trumpets on the 1st of Tishri. The minute Christ spoke those words, they knew He was speaking of that feast day. And, by golly the city was burned and destroyed and the stones torn down by the Romans by the 1st of Tishri AD 70.
