I will briefly explain some foundational truths here. If ignored these two brief truths lead to speculative fantasy.
Number one is the Second Coming. We know clearly that on the Day of the Lord the thief comes. However, Jesus is not a thief! This scripturally illustrates that the Second Coming is not the same thing as the Day of the Lord.
Number two is that when Paul speaks of those who sleep in 1 Thess 4:13 He concludes His instructions to these people eleven verses later, in 1 Thess 5:6 by telling them not to fall asleep.
Clearly Paul’s reference to “sleep” does not refer to death.
So here are illustrated two foundational truths which when not understood lead to false doctrinal conclusions. These false understandings are almost world wide in their scope.
Beginning in Daniel 9 the scriptural distortion begins with the interpretation of parables. These false doctrinal conclusions are then combined with 1 Thessalonians 4:13 and the delusional “rapture theory”. They culminate by a completely flawed interpretation of Revelation 20.
Suffice it to say that most Christians have no idea how greatly they are being misled by these delusions. These Primary Doctrinal distortions create a fantasy world for many believers.
