Bob, I don't miss it a bit. There's enough going on to get me upset without having to add the Dispensational into it. Hehehe

At least for a day, let's forget that we are no longer pre-tribbers. Let's gorge ourselves on guessing, speculate on special revelations and practice headline hermeneutics (ok, I'm out of alliterations.)

Ahh for the old days. Here is a golden oldie. I'm going to go get my Hal Lindsey from under the couch leg and hold it close while I watch this old favorite.

I know there's a support group for you guys somewhere. :lol: I actually do remember this song. LOL!!!!!!
 
Personally, I have been voting in favor of all Pro-Gay Marriage and all Pro-Choice and Pro-Evolution in Schools bills, so as to quicken the coming of Christ...




Did I cross the line?

Bawb what are you talking about? These are the end times. Email me and I'll give you the code to decipher Revelation. You wouldn't believe who Obama actually is or what his name spells when reversed, you add the letters "S" "t" and "n", and drop a few other unneeded consonants.

Yes, the end must be near, for Obama's middle name is Hussein. Saddam's last name was Hussein also. Plus, Saddam spelled backwards is maddas! Proof in the pudding!

I wouldn't dream of doing something so overtly Samaritan.

I just want to thank you, Bob!!! Now that stupid song is stuck in my head!!!!!!!!!:banghead:
 
Seems like we need a good dispensational wall map in order to party right.

Rev. Clarence Larkin- How To Interpret The Bible
January 12, 2009 at 3:10 pm · Filed under biblical interpretation, clarence larkin, hermeneutics and tagged: bible interpretation, bible study, clarence larkin, hermeneutics

(from Dispensational Truth, 1920)

While the Bible is a revelation from God, it is not written in a superhuman or celestial language. It it were we could not understand it. Its supernatural origin, however, can be seen in the fact that it can be translated into any language and not lose its virility or spiritual life-giving power, and when translated into any language it fixes that language in its purest form.

The language, however, of the Bible is of three kinds. Figurative, Symbolical, and Literal. Such expressions as “Harden not your heart,” “let the dead bury their dead,” are figurative, and their meaning is made clear by the context.

Symbolic language, like the description of Nebuchadnezzar’s “Colossus,” Daniel’s “Four Wild Beasts,” or Christ in the midst of the “Seven Candlesticks,” is explained, either in the same chapter, or somewhere else in the Bible.

The rest of the language of the Bible is to be interpreted according to the customary rules of grammar and rhetoric. That is, we are to read the Bible as we would read any other book, letting it say what it wants to say, and not allegorize or spiritualize its meaning. It is this false method of interpreting Scripture that has led to the origin of so many religious sects and denominations.

As Dispensational Day draws to a close - is anyone wondering if they're truly holy enough to be taken up in the Rapture? Let's get a Re-Dedication Event going! :banana:
 
Kissinger! I can remember when he came over here to help world-banking. Some odd-bod called Barry Smith started warning everyone that this together with barcodes had something to do with the mark of the beast. This of course was back when men were walking around in tight yellow pants, so I suppose anything was possible.

This really is bringing back memories. When the Lord first saved me I didn't know what to do so I headed off to Lifeway and bought everything I could in there prophecy/current events section. I used to get so excited about bad news, but it would just scare my wife to death. Every now and again I would randomly act like I was being lifted up in the rapture, needless to say that was not a smart move for a newly married husband with a wife who was not handling the Dispensational stuff well. Looking back at it no wonder I scared away everyone I talked to about the Lord, it was one tenth gospel and nine tenth pre-trib rapture. But I agree, man was it exciting.... sad but exciting.

Wasn't it more "here, there or in the air"??

I must admit, I never really under stood the "in the air" part, as if after you were in heaven you'd never see them again.. :think:
 
Bob,
I also found one that makes fun of that song.

C.I. and I never did see eye to eye. I've never been dispensational, but I looked over the fence many times at all the preparation parties going on. I do however own a copy of '88 Reasons . . .' I was given it by a well meaning fellow when he found out that I had proposed to my bride. That was in March of 1987. We were to be married in January of 1988. He gave me the book to convince me of the foolishness of my proposal. 'There is work to be done! Time is short! Don't waste yourself in marriage. In less that 18 months it won't matter anyway.' He was dead serious.
 
I heard a good explanation of the "rapture" the other day. Apparently, in that time period it was common for groups of supporters to come out of the city and meet a king or dignitary and escort him into the city. This pastor explained that it was more likely when it talks about meeting Jesus in the air, that it has to do with us meeting him and escorting him back to earth where He will accomplish what He plans for the second coming. I quite like that!

It's the whole rapture thing. We're supposed to be caught up to meet Christ at the rapture. Thus, the "If not there, in the air."

Have you seen the "well meaning fellow" since?
 
When I was still a teen, my best buddy Ed (now a pastor) and I use to pray together and we would beg God not to send Jesus back until we each found wives and got married. For us, every troubling headline meant one less day to find a wife.

The Lord brought wonderful women into our lives...FINALLY, and he's given us over 30 years to get to know them. Now I just want to see my grandchildren happily married and in covenant families. Even so, Lord come.

Maybe you've been left behind! It all happened like a thief in the night: this one faithful man was raptured from our midst! The world will never be aware of what hit them.
 
Wow...I fear for y'all. Fortunately I have an automated emailing system that will send all of you the text of every John Hagee book when everyone (but you) is raptured.

I, for one, am prepared. I had auto-pilot installed on both of our cars...it engages if the engine is running and the sensor on the left side of the driver's seat (you know, the side where my "left behind" rests) is triggered by my being raptured.
