S16R2664webSig.jpg

Pride never came before a fall, but before destruction(check the quote).

God does NOT want people to die. We enter this world needing the second birth, as our 1st one is in a condition of eternal exclusion, typified by sin for which the wages is death.

Behind this thin carapace of transformative joy(itself counterfeit but engaged with nonetheless in a church near you) is sin. The joy itself is that of the very "circles of merriment" within institutionalised temple religion, that Jeremiah chose to reject for the Word of God: OK, we're not wuite at Laodicea yet, but Thyatira: the Real Bride still lives and loves right next to the tart Jezebel with her encounters ,soakings, sozo, divination, alpha, Arianism, Nestorianism and "holy spirit weekends"..and for goodness' sake pray for her that she may be strong.

You see, the Jerusalemites' denial of Babylonian attack pre-586 BC was based on the supposition that as they were "saved" by dint of being the nation of Israel, God would never let anything bad happen to them.
This was despite the clear warnings from Deut, Lev and I Sam 1 of consequences of sowing into one's own nature: apostasy precedes hostile enemy takeover by a foreign power, which first warns of its evil intent by stealing your children.

If you don't believe me, read Exodus ...and Daniel: a nice young Jewish boy taken in the 1st wave before Ezekiel, so as to be mouldable for the new Babylonian world order(so to speak!)which believes it's now proper that everyone writes in Babylonic cuneiform rather than Hebrew. It's the language and morals of the New Order, after all, in post-586 BC Judah.(The northern kingdom of Israel had already suffered the same fate at the hands of the Asssyrians around 720 BC but Jerusalem in the south still failed to listen prior to 586.)

They thought God would rescue them despite their apostasy..yet were blind even to this.
He didn't; it then "tribbed" just a wee bit, during which the remnant were saved but as through a fire by forced relocation in Babylon.
Well, before long and despite getting the beating that warned of God offering the firstborn promise to the gentiles instead, the Bab-life was the life for the tribbers who by now were decidedly "despite and throughout the trib" rather than post-trib or pre-trib:

You may thus wish to re-address your understanding of these terms: best of luck: I really do think the best and most scriptural way to engage with these is by knowing your Bible well enough to let it "midrash" itself. Don't tell replacementists, baptists or calvinists this: they're now so antsy and laity-led at the mo that they can't even handle the mention of scriptural Israel as it might offend someone, let alone engage with scripture in a more valid and less Hellenised(Greek-ified)manner that actually illuminates.
People getting saved need to know about salvation, do they not?

You can just hear the Babylonians: "these Jews come over to Babylon, marry our women and take our jobs. Then they eat bloody dainties off the king's table" (Daniel wisely choosing the organic vegan option and remarkably, er, saving everyone's bacon).
(Sorry couldn't resist!)
