During Sunday Evening Story-Time on September 19, 2010, speaking of 1 Thess 5:2, the IL teaching elder asked, “Am I being clear enough with that? Here it’s called the day of the Lord. You and I are NOT going to experience the day of the Lord.”
Then he mentioned the references of 2 Thess 2:2 and Phil 1:6, and said, “We ARE going to experience the day of Christ.”
Then he said, “It’s elementary, my dear Watson.”
I would suggest he read the CONTEXT of 2 Thess 2:2 .... because it shows that the coming of the Lord and our gathering unto Him in the day of CHRIST .... CANNOT HAPPEN BEFORE a falling away and that man of sin is revealed when he sits in the temple and proclaims himself to be God.
The odd thing is .... the Cunning Royal Jester does not preach what the CONTEXT says about the day of Christ! He does not teach that the church will be on Planet Earth during the 70th week of Daniel. He says the church will be ‘raptured’ off the earth more than 7 years PRIOR to the time Daniel’s 70th week begins. During half-time is when that man of sin will be revealed for the imposter he will be.
2 Thess 2:1-4 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Since the Cunning Royal Jester says we will NOT be here for the day of the LORD .... but we WILL be here for the day of CHRIST .... (because he makes them SEPARATE DAYS, separated by 7+ years), then, I wonder, which day would he say is the day of our LORD JESUS CHRIST? Is it the day of the LORD or the day of CHRIST? Or is it yet ANOTHER day?
1 Cor 1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Which day would the Cunning Royal Jester say is the day of the LORD JESUS? Is it the day of the LORD or the day of CHRIST? Or is it yet ANOTHER day?
2 Cor 1:14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Which day would the Cunning Royal Jester say is the day of GOD? Is it the day of the LORD or the day of CHRIST? Or is it yet ANOTHER day?
2 Peter 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
The Cunning Royal Jester’s doctrine of DIVISION is outrageous and wrong!
This is David Dowell saying, “Think about it!”
