Translate or Tribulate? Some people’s thinking is like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set. I believe in the literal interpretation of the scripture, and if they are rightly divided as we’re exhorted to do, there is no way, one can prove from scriptures that those who are ready within the church (the Bride of Christ) is going through the tribulation. Taking the scriptures literal, and not reading into them, what we want them to say, there are clearly qualifications to go in the rapture of the church. Heb.9:28 “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”

Anyone who is mid. trib. and post trib. cannot be looking for Jesus to come at any moment. And for that fact, what husband would put his true Bride who has been faithful to the engagement, through what will be hell on earth. Matt.24:21, Mar.13:19 as Jesus described, being of such carnage and death, that if he had not shortened it, into 7 years, there would be no flesh saved in it, to go into the Millennial, of natural people, for whom the bride will rule and reign over with Christ.

These scriptures prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Jesus is coming first, for his Bride, 1Thess.4:13-18 in the meeting in the air, and at the end of the tribulation with his bride, 2Thess.1-8, Jude 14-15 “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” Consider these qualifications to go in the rapture, Eph.5:25-27, Rev.3:10, Matt.25:1-10, Luk.21:34-36 If we miss the rapture it will be our own fault. We have been exhorted, to maintain the garment. You see salvation is free, but maintenance is up to us. Heb.2:1-3, 3:6, Col.1:23 shows, that there are conditions. If you continue, it’s truth, no one can pluck you out of Christ hand, because he is the stronger man, and has spoiled Satan’s kingdom, but you can take your hand out of his, being one of the foolish virgins, and become lukewarm, making Jesus sick, so that he will spew you out of his mouth, into the tribulation period, and if you get right then, you will die a martyrs death. This ain’t no time to be seeing how close we can live like the world, eating and drinking with the drunken.

Matt.24:45-51 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season.? Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you. That he shall make him ruler over all his good. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming: And begin to smite his fellowservant, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not ware of, And shall cut him asunder (off) and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall weeping and gnashing of teeth. These scriptures says what it says and means what it says. We do not know what hour or moment our Lord could come. for those who are keeping their lamps trimmed and burning, but those who are bent on being mid. trib. and post trib. will know when Jesus is coming, because of the 7 year covenant. The tribulation period is called Jacob’s trouble, not the Brides trouble. Now if you are still bent on going through the tribulation period, I’m not going to fuss with you. Jesus said he would give you the desires of your heart. It’s not funny, but you don’t mind if I translate, while you tribulate!!! Maranatha!!!
