Philippians Chapter 3: Faith Suffering Rapture




    1: Finally my brethren rejoice in the Lord To write the same things to you to me indeed is not grievous but for you it is safe 2: Beware of dogs beware of evil workers beware of the concision [1] 3: For we are the circumcision which worship God by the spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh 4: Though I might also have confidence in the flesh If any other man thinks that he has whereof he might trust in the flesh I more 5: Circumcised the eighth day of the stock of Israel of the tribe of Benjamin an Hebrew of the Hebrews as touching the law a Pharisee 6: Concerning zeal persecuting the church touching the righteousness which is in the law blameless 7: But what things were gain to me those I counted loss for Christ 8: Yea doubtless and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and do count them but dung that I may win Christ 9: And be found in him not having mine own righteousness which is of the law but that which is through the faith of Christ The righteousness which is of God by faith Habakkuk 2:4  10: That I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings being made conformable unto his death 11: If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead 12: Not as though I had already attained either were already perfected but I follow after if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus 13: Brethren I count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing I do forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before 14: I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus 15: Let us therefore as many as be perfect be thus minded and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded God shall reveal even this unto you [2] 16: Nevertheless whereto we have already attained let us walk by the same rule let us mind the same thing 17: Brethren be followers together of me and mark them which walk so as you have us for an example 18: For many walk of whom I have told you often and now tell you even weeping that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ 19: Whose end is destruction whose God is their belly and whose glory is in their shame who mind earthly things 20: For our conversation is in heaven from whence also we look for the Savior the Lord Jesus Christ Hosea 13:421: Who shall change our vile body that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body [3] 1 John 3:2 according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.


[1] The entire Christian New Testament was written through trials and persecution, beginning with the Cross. Most of Paul’s letters were written from imprisonment. All of the original apostles died as martyrs. No Christian is promised a life free from adversity.
[2] If you think otherwise, God will show you that I am right
[3] This is a reference to the Resurrection and the Rapture 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, 1 Corinthians 15:51-53.

Bible prophecy is all about redemption, and the book, Redemption: Bible Prophecy Simplified, presents us with a panoramic and chronological overview of God's plan of redemption for our souls, bodies, and this earth as revealed in scripture. The day The Towers Fell was prophesied in the Bible. The basket of currency connected with the Euro is found in the Bible. Details concerning the Rapture, The Great Tribulation, and the first 1000 years of Christ’s reign on earth are looked at from the unique perspective of the seven prophetic feasts of the Lord found in the book of Exodus. Bible Prophecy Simplified is simple enough for beginning prophecy students, but there is plenty to intrigue intermediate and advanced students as well. The Bible reveals methods the antichrist will use in his rise to power and the location of his home base.

When God's Great Redemption is Understood
Bible Prophecy is No Longer Complicated or Mysterious
