Rethinking the Great Tribulation- Earth & World has 3 different translations in the Bible


Rethinking the Great Tribulation-
Earth & World has 3 different translations in the Bible
These are the identifiers from Strong’s Concordance for each word.
·       


     In the Book of Revelation we have three different Greek Words for Earth and World. In English, you can never notice or even think twice about it. Because Earth and World tend to be interchangeable. However, looking Greek challenges this assertion. See below.


     G3625-Oikoumenē= Roman Empire/Greek Territory (3 Entries)-
Pronounced Oink-ku-may-nay

·       G1093-Gē= Nation’s Land/Farm Land/main land with fixed boundaries
(67 entries!!!!)- Pronounced Gay

·       G2889-Kosmos=World-wide/Global/Universal (3 Entries)



*** Revelation 3:10 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world/Roman Empire, (G3625) to try them that dwell upon the earth/Israel (G1093).

NOTE: This cannot be the rapture because we know a rapture did not happened during 70AD and this is not worldwide. This protection is from “The hour of Temptation/ the Great Apostacy- It is referenced in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12-9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perish. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.


***Revelation 12:9 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world/Roman Empire, (G3625)—he was thrown down to the earth/Israel (G1093), and his angels were thrown down with him.

*** Revelation 16:14 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth/Israel (G1093), and of the whole world/Roman Empire, (G3625), to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.




*********************************************************************



***Revelation 11:15 15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world/Kosmos(G2889) has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”

***Revelation 13:8 8 and all who dwell on earth/Israel (G1093) will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world/Kosmos(G2889)  in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.

*** Revelation 17:8 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth/Israel (G1093 whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world/Kosmos(G2889)  will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come.



NOTE: This is a global/universal reference, as it should be, for the body of Christ is global/universal and the message of the gospel is for every nation, tribe, language, and tongue. The third reference is to the kingdom of God, its triumph and greatness over all the kingdoms of this world (planets), and Christ’s eternal and universal reign.


***Conclusion- Based on the above evidence, we can conclude that the Great Tribulation was a local event in Israel that was fulfilled in 67AD-70AD. There was no rapture, but God’s protection from the Great Deception of the Beast (Nero/Roman Empire).

13 Reasons Why a Spiritual Resurrection in 70 AD Should Be Considered Over a Physical Resurrection

13 Reasons Why a Spiritual Resurrection in 70 AD Should Be Considered Over a Physical Resurrection 1. When did the Old Testament (OT) Saints leave Sheol/Hades to go to Heaven? Surprisingly, many believe that the OT Saints went to Heaven at the Cross. This is not true. In Acts 2, we see that Christ the Greater David was the ONLY person granted a physical resurrection AND ascension. The physical resurrection and ascension of Christ in 30AD pointed as well as confirmed the spiritual resurrection of the OT saints in 70 AD. King David was still in his grave, not Christ. See Acts 2:22-34. When Christ ascended to Heaven in Acts 1:9-11, He ascended ALONE. Later, in Acts 7:60, when Stephen was stoned to death, it says he fell ASLEEP . It says NOTHING about his spirit going up to Heaven with the Lord.  This is especially confirmed if you read Psalm 31 in its full context. Otherwise, you are imposing something foreign into the text. In Matthew 27:51-53, there were a number of dead saints w

From Grave to Glory (G2G)-A Preterist Postmillennial Commentary-Revelation 12-22

Image
Revelation 12 V1-2: We see the same imagery of Joseph’s dream here in Genesis 37:9-11. Israel (representing Jerusalem as well in Matthew 2:18) is described as the Daughter of Zion-a dying mother; specifically, Rachel who died tragically during pregnancy. See Isaiah 50:1, 54:1-6, 66:7; Jeremiah 4:31; Micah 4:9-10; Galatians 4:27; Jeremiah 31:15; Matthew 2:18. Although Jerusalem will be destroyed, the remnant will represent a glimmer of hope similar to Benjamin and Christ's respective births. The woman clothed with the sun represents the exalted status of Israel among all nations. However, the moon is under her feet, which represents the waning status of the Old Covenant. The moon reflects light from the sun. The twelve stars represent the twelve tribes of Israel. The dying Daughter of Zion was about to give birth to Christ and the Church. V3: The Dragon’s seven heads have crowns at this time, which means the Roman Empire was in control. This represents Satan’s authority over the Rom
