Last
week, in a reply addressed to Gino, wrote the wrong
location of Scripture. http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2020/1cor1031-517-2.htm
EIKS!!!
Hate it when I get sloppy!! An editor once took me
to the proverbial woodshed over that – and told me not to
EVER turn in sloppy writing again!! Woodshed:
you’re allowed a pen, a pencil, 3 pieces of chewing gum, a
pack of notebook paper & told to stay in there &
write a complete novel before you can see daylight
again!! 😉
At
any rate, I really hate it when I plug in Scripture &
have announced the wrong location. Sighs – if life
just wasn’t so full with so few hours in the day to try to
accomplish much. Still though: no
excuse! Whether I’m high on coffee caffeine or
whether I’ve not slept well at all – either way, I should
always take time to look up Scripture references/locations
and plug them in correctly – esp. b/c someone who may be
reading this from let’s say, China, may not have a Bible
to be able to look it up for themselves!
Last
week, when I mentioned the saints come back with Jesus (at
the END of the Tribulation) I wrote Zechariah
12. That is incorrect.
It
is Zechariah 14. Specifically: Zech
14:4-5 [this is from NKJV translation:]
And
in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
Which
faces Jerusalem on the east.
And
the Mount of lives shall be split in two,
From
east to west.
Making
a very large valley;
Half
of the mountains shall move toward the north
And
half of it toward the south.
Then
you shall flee through My mountain valley,
For
the mountain valley shall reach to Azal.
Yes,
you shall flee
As
you fled from the earthquake
In
the days of Uzziah king of Judah.
Thus
the Lord my God will come,
And
all the saints with You. [other
versions say “with Him”]
Also
note, some contemporary versions say it’s the angels that
come with Him – so when “not sure” I always go with KJV,
which clearly says SAINTS.
WE
are the saints; not the angels.
The
most elementary deduction is: the ONLY WAY we can
RETURN WITH Him ~ is to ALREADY *BE* with
Him!!! [Thus PRE-Trib rapture!!]
