What Old Testament Prophets Saw

[lentz]

Look at 2 mountains far away. One behind the other. They seem as if they are close enough to each other to be touching.

As you stand on the first one though,you see a large long valley between the 2.
This is how the writers saw the future.
The first mountain peak was the coming of the Messiah. The second peak was the Day of the Lord/Jacobs Troubles/Tribulation.

They couldnt see and had no idea the valley/church age, was even there
The Messiah has come. We are now in the valley. When Christ raptures the church out,then Israel will see and be involved in the tribulation.

No the scriptures do not say the words rapture. But it will most definitely take place.
The old writers couldnt write about it because God hid it from them. It wasnt for them and the Israel nation. And some cant see it today. But if you have to have a grasp of the old testament before you can hope to understand Revelation.

The wedding feast will take place in heaven during the tribulation on earth. After the tribulation comes the millennium. After the millenium reign of Christ,the promises God made to Israel will be fulfilled.

[only son]

the father whom is himself a Spirit God - invisible

the Bible clarifies that in " diverse - different manners " God has manifested himself, in the past history - Old Testament, But these many, many previous manifestations of God throughout history

BUT - - ............... these are not - the APPEARING OF GOD’S ONLY BORN SON,

Heb 1:1 – 2 explains from the MANUSCRIPTS

:1 Many ways, also various ways, long ago the God spoke to their fathers

:2 in their prophets unto these last of days, of these, he spoke to them in his son upon whom is given heir, of whom also this is forever made / done


as we see exactly in the Greek manuscripts

:1 πολυμερως Many ways - και also - πολυτροπως various ways - παλαι long ago - ο the - θεος God - λαλησας spoke to - τοις their - πατρασιν fathers -

:2 εν in - τοις their - προφηταις prophets - επ unto - εσχατων the last - των of - ημερων days - τουτων to these - ελαλησεν he spoke - ημιν to them - εν in - υιω his son - ον upon whom - εθηκεν is given - - κληρονομον heir - παντων of all - δι by / of - ου whom - και also - τους this - αιωνας is forever / eternally - εποιησεν made done
It is true that God has appeared to many of his servants, morphing himself / FORMING HIMSELF / as a man.

The Spirit of God has MORPHED and changed into the body of a man, appearing to Jacob, Gideon - and also in Exo 24:9 God appeared to Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and also to seventy of the elders of Israel, as it were the body of heaven

Also, appearing to Adam and Eve walking and moving through the garden as they heard him moving and speaking in an audible perceivable sound that they could hear with their ears.

Eze 37:1 The hand of the LORD was upon Ezekiel, he felt the HAND OF GOD and was carried out in the spirit of the LORD - The Lord is here also physically and audibly speaking to Ezekiel

Jer 1:4 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, audibly speaking to Jeremiah

:9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and physically touched his mouth.

In Exodus, God appeared in a burning bush, as a pillar of cloud by day, and as a pillar of fire by night.

God appeared as a "whisper" to Elijah and in visions to other prophets.

BUT - - ............... these are not - the APPEARING OF GOD’S ONLY BORN SON,

The Lord appeared to King Solomon in a dream,

WRONG
The wedding feast will come after the tribulation that the saints will also go through.
This will be the time to shine bright as ambassadors of hope in Jesus and salvation.
When Jesus returns in power and glory with the angels after the last trumpet call then the dead in Christ will rise up and we who are alive shall also be changed in a twinkling of an eye.
The pre-tribulation rapture is false doctrine and will lead to millions falling away as this false promise is not realised.

Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
