Hey!  Where does this school of thought come from that if
the Chruch is not going through THE tribualtion that
they/we aren't 
going to have ANY tribualtion.  Don't worry we will have
PLENTY!

This will come from the "religious leaders" of our time and
the ground work is in the morning paper.  The WoF'ers and
others are laying the ground work now about how it is OK to
kill for the government and I have seen three or four with
my own eyes say that God has given a man the right to
"protect" his family.  How much NOBLER cause than to
"defend the faith?"  We are the one thing that they do NOT
TOLERATE.  Our doctrine is the one that flies in the teeth
of their "we are all in the body" doctrine.  They cannot
call us cults (for long) and we do use and understandbly
articulate the Bible.  If we are right then they have no
authority.  How long do you think it will be in this time
of latter rain before these guys figure out that we are
opposed to all they have built and are TEARING IT DOWN BIT
BY BIT?  It is time for some saints to realize this too! 
You can't have it both ways, can you.

I am not saying that there won't be MANY that will walk
away from their positions and posessions but there will
SURELY be those who will not go without a FIGHT!  It will
be like in Jesus' time.  The government won't care what you
believe just as long as everyone "just gets along."

It will be these men of "power" and those who are weak in
OUR OWN ranks that will come against us.  Satan knows that
he cannot overcome the Chruch from the outside, he can pick
off the stragglers and the weak, but he knows that his real
threat to the Body is from the inside out.  What did the
Romans care for the ministry of Jesus?  What did the
Sanheidren care?  Ah!  We have indentified those with the
MOST to lose!  Ask your selves this: Who stands to lose the
most IF we Apostolics begin to have divine success?  Sure
the bars will feel a bit of a pinch but not so much as to
cause them to "persecute" us.  Can't be the government
since we are otherwise good citizens and pay our taxes. 
Who then?  That's right, the "religious leaders" who can
label us "blasphemers" and "anti-christ."  As in the days
of Jesus; so is it now.

As to who is refered to in the book of Revelation as the
Elect it is the Church and then 144,000.  It can indeed be
both.  We get too wraped up into this "either/or"
mentality; the Chruch will go through the Tribulation OR it
will have NO tribulation, the term "Elect" refers to the
Church OR the Jews but NOT to both, The angel is ALWAYS
Jesus OR it is NEVER Jesus...   Where does this stuff come
from?  I know that much of what I have said has had no
proof but this is not because there is none but that the
proper ground work hasn't yet been laid.  If we are to
CHOKE on a couple of points then this will truly go
nowhere.  If we ALL have to agree on a couple of these
points (the book/the angel/post trib rapture...) we will go
NOWHERE!  The "proof" is in the step by step "analysis"
from the beginning.  We keep jumping ahead and stalling!  

As far as PROOF anyway, NO ONE can support any of their
claims to the level of proof, not even salvation!

My assertions will stand any reasonable level of scrutiny
or reject them.  I will!

I will wait to discuss Matt ch 24 until we get to Rev. ch
6.  It will become clear why, Lord willing!
