Mark Vestal Supporter Proud of nothing of myself. Freed by Christ who did it all!

The 'catching away into the clouds' (1 Thes 4:17) of the church, the body of Christ (Eph 1:22-23), has nothing to do with Israel's "remnant" of believers who must "endure unto the end" of Daniel's prophetic 70th week (the tribulation, Daniel 9:24-27).

Mark 13:13-14
"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:"

Christ is speaking directly to Israel in these verses regarding prophecy that pertains to them, and nothing of the "mystery" church, the body of Christ (Eph 3:1-6), that was "kept secret since the world began" (Rom 16:25), and still a secret at that time until it was revealed to the apostle Paul for us today (Rom 11:13, Eph 3:9).

After the catching away of the church, the body of Christ, when the fulness of the Gentile body of believers has come in (Rom 11:25), a Jewish remnant will be given an unction from the Holy Ghost and will "know all things" (1 John 2:20) as they spread the gospel of the coming kingdom to a world of unbelievers during Satan's reign. Specifically, these are the 144k priests mentioned in the book of Revelation (Rev 7:14).

This message differs from Paul's gospel of God's grace today, which is Christ being crucified for the forgiveness of all of our sins, and salvation being the free unmerited gift to those who place their faith alone in Christ alone (Eph 2:8-9, 1 Cor 15:1-4), and where believers today are not appointed to the coming wrath of God.

1 Thes 5:9-11
"For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do."

Mark 13:10: And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

The disciples asked Jesus when and what shall be the sign when all things shall be fulfilled. Lord Jesus said the signs that shall be fulfilled when it begins to happen are the wars and rumors of war, nations that rise against nations, earthquakes, and floods in diverse places worldwide. “But the end shall not be yet, these are beginnings of sorrows.” The gospel that is being preached with these signs coming to pass during this time, no one will know the day and the time but the rapture of the church among all nations will come to pass. (Mark 13:20/1 Thes 4:1-4,17) And those who have seen the signs that have come to pass and have not hearkened to the gospel will go through trials and tribulations during this time.

For then shall come the two witnesses the Lord shall send to testify and be given the power to prophesy to the church that stands who were not raptured in the first half of the seven-year tribulation period. (Rev 11:3) Many who have witnessed the church's rapture and the two witnesses, will go through trials and tribulations during this period and change, and those who endure unto the end shall be saved when they flee to the mountains. (Zec 14:4/Mark 13:13) During this time a peace treaty shall be made, the temple shall be built again by the antichrist, and he shall enforce the mark of the beast and claim himself to be Christ the Lord Savior of the world. (Mark 13:22/Rev 13:15)

Zephaniah 2:3: Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger.
