Eschatology – from Now to Eternity....Another "Rapture article by the late Bob Hill.

Click here. The content is excellent, as always.

The next thing that will happen is the rapture. 2 The 2:1-4 “Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition.”

That will start a sequence of many prophetic events which are displayed in the following chart:

From Daniel 9

24 “Seventy weeks are determined
For your people and for your holy city,
To finish the transgression,To make an end of sins,
To make reconciliation for iniquity,
To bring in everlasting righteousness,
To seal up vision and prophecy,
And to anoint the Most Holy.

25 “Know therefore and understand,
That from the going forth of the command
To restore and build Jerusalem
Until Messiah the Prince,
There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;
The street shall be built again, and the wall,
Even in troublesome times.

Hill references Daniel 9, and this is why. I will add one more thing. Simon bar Jonah, aka Peter in English said this at the Jewish festival of Pentecost.

36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”

38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

And in the next "chapter" Peter continues to Israel.

19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

I need to point out that Peter says nothing about The Lord Jesus Christ dying for their sin, taking their punishment. He accuses them of killing the Lord. And as such Israel as a nation is to repent, finishing the purge of evil as told by Daniel. To make atonement for 300 concubines and other atrocities. You haven't studied the "Old Testament" so you don't know the "New Testament".

10 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

Paul was being fact-checked. I encourage you to do the same.

Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures

KJV says study, NKJV says do your due diligence. I think all know what that means. It also means the translators in 1988, or whatever year that was, didn't need the update for this.
