Is the Pre-Trib Rapture the Greatest Magic Trick of All Time?
Over the past couple of years, I developed a minor interest in magic. I especially love the mentalist, mind bending tricks. All magic as you know is “slight of hand.” It is literally leading people to look “here” and not “there. Satan (or Lucifer) is the GREATEST magician of all time. Bar none. He is not only […]
