During Sunday Evening Story-Time on September 19, 2010, with the IL teaching elder, he mentioned, at least 3 times, that (to change his paradigm) you have to “redefine the day of the Lord”.
The Cunning Royal Jester makes a lot of statements, telling you how to ‘think like he thinks’ .... but he cannot prove his paradigm with scripture verses. Some of his quotes in the above mentioned message were as follows:
We call ourselves ‘pre-trib rapture believers’.
I study 50 things about it, but only teach 4 things.
The ‘gelling’ factor ....
Some things sort of formulate for you.
How strong and clear Paul is .... ‘when - then’ is the timing element.
But that’s a contrast - a progression of thought from chapter 4.
The day of the Lord will not overtake you,
.... the day of the Lord .... not ‘when the Lord comes’.
We know what we’re talking about.
There are 2 places where the prophecy and mystery programs intersect with each other. The timing is connected - but WE are NOT connected.
You can have similar events at the intersection but they’re not going to be the same.
The day of the Lord is during tribulation - not at the end,
.... understanding WHEN the day of the Lord is.
Rev 1:10 is the definition of the day of the Lord.
The day of the Lord is not Sunday.
I would make the whole book of Revelation fit into the day of the Lord. The rapture takes place before all that.
They (his 2 different programs theory of Israel’s program and the body of Christ program) share the moment in time, where they intersect momentarily, but we were careful to define what the day of the Lord is .... the 70th week of Daniel.
It’s a slippery slope. When they let go of pre-trib, they slide to the end.
We’re through before that prophetic program begins, that makes us ‘Pre’.
The ‘pre-tribulation rapture’ heresy can surely generate ridicule during the last days .... like, “What’s up? Ha! Ha! You thought you were supposed to be caught up outta here before all this!”
2 Peter 3:3-4 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Listening to the Cunning Royal Jester over the past few months, could make one think he may be losing his footing .... trying to prevent a slide. On August 22, 2010, talking about getting ‘the time’ (of the catching up) wrong -or right - he threw his arms up in the air and questioned, “So what if I’m wrong?” In the same message, he said of Jesus, “It’s the same Jesus.” For years, he and his jokers have taught that the ‘earthly Jesus’ was ‘another Jesus’. On August 10, 2010, he said, “The earth is in the heavens.” So is he now putting his ‘different destinies’ together in the same place? On September 5, 2010, he referred to Jesus as ‘our King’.
Have you noticed? The Cunning Royal Jester is repositioning several of his long-time teachings. Maybe he’s cushioning for a slide on the slippery slope, or at least, trying not to look so obviously disconnected with what the verses actually say.
This is David Dowell saying, “Think about it!”
