I have tried to point out that the trib saints, are those that were left behind that entered the last 7 years.
The last 7 years has been identified as Daniels 70th week.
Only 69 weeks of years has been completed.After the cruxifiction of our Lord Jesus,the Church age was born.It began with the Lord sending the Comforter(Holy Spirit)on Penticost,and it ends with the Comforter, catching up the Church(Bride)in the event that is known as the Rapture(caught up).
What one must keep in mind is that the church age did not begin until after the Cutting off of the Messiah....which the first day was on Penticost, which was the first day that the Bride was empowered with the Holy Spirit.
In the Book of Daniel 9;24....70 weeks of years were decreed to the Jewish race "ONLY!"
Daniel 9;24 says the following words:....."Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people"AND YOUR HOLY CITY.
Daniel was a Jew, and the Jews were his people.There is no getting around that statement.It is a fact.
The church had no part in the first 69 weeks of Daniel, and it will have no part in the 70th week.
Some have brought up the scripture...."There is no difference between jew and gentile in Christ Jesus.That is very true,....But,there is a difference between jew and gentile, if neither had not yet been saved by the sacrifice our Lord had provided at the Cross of Calvary.
It is no secret that National Israel is not yet saved. but scripture states that "ALL of Israel will be saved!
Jesus said He would not return until the Jewish people are willing to say, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord" (Matthew 23:37-39)
The Bride of Jesus Christ is without spot or blemish.We were forgiven of all our sins on the Cross of Calvary,and sealed by the promise of the Holy Spirit the Moment that we asked the Lord into our hearts.Our Hope in Christ Jesus has already purified us.
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 1Jo 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
The Lord said, pray that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things and to stand before the Son of Man.
The Church(Bride) does not have to go thru the tribulation to prove that it is worthy...........................................benny
