There is great confusion in the real church regarding the truths of prophecy. Is there such a thing as the rapture of the saints? Wil the church go through the tribulation? Will the rapture be pre, mid or post-trbulation?

I am not going to answer all the above here but there is one essential truth without which all must remain error or confusion. It is a truth which was probably first denied by the Roman Catholic Church with the denial continuing among Protestants even after the Reformation.

Here it is - God will restore the nation of Israel! Not merely save Jews into the body of Christ, but restore Israel nationally. This is so abundantly clear in the Old Testament prophets and the Psalms and elsewhere and yet is hid from the eyes of multitudes of preachers.

Get it right and you will begin to make sense of prophetic truth both in the OT and in the NT. Get it wrong and you had better keep it simple and just preach the gospel, assuming, of course, you have understood at least that much.

In the word of God, Titus 3:10 reads,

"A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject..."

The NKJV in this place reads,

"Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition..."

Compare this NKJV rendering with John 7:43 in the NKJV.

"So there was a division among the people because of him."

The Lord Jesus was a divisive man and still is though this is too difficult for modern milk-sops to understand. If you believe the NKJV at Titus 3:10, you will have to reject the Lord Jesus Christ.

"For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law."

"And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall seaprate them one from another, as a shaepherd divideth his sheep from the goats..."

Go figure!
