those who choose not to except our Lord Jesus as their savior,what a sad day it will be when believers are rapture off the earth and the ones left behind will have 7 years of tribulation.terrible terrible 7 years
The Rapture does occur after the Rapture, but the Rapture does not trigger the Tribulation. There could be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or more years before the Anti-Christ appears and the Tribulation begins
@talkingblackbird this i am uncertain of because 2 Thess: that the restrainer must be lifted prior to his revealing and the revealing comes in my opinion from Dan 9:27 when he makes a covenant with many. Obama is going to impose a peace treaty this year in the fall to UN if Isr-Pal agreement isnt met. Not saying he is but it puts it in motion for the anti to force it through. War is coming. Iran declared state of war y/day. Christ is coming any day.
Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will 'keep you from' the hour of trial [Tribulation] which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. ⎯ Revelation 3:10
Actually the correct rendering of Revelation 3:10 is: "Because thou hast KEPT THE WORD OF MY PATIENCE, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."
Believers at the end of the Church Age when Christ comes who have "kept the Word of [Christ's] patience" (i.e. received Christ's Word) will be Raptured to Heaven.
A nations first act when declaring war is to remove its ambassadors. Likewise Christ's (2 Cor 5:8-21)
You can't be prepared when it happens? Christians rising from the grave? People disappearing? nonsense! All of this was written by man, mass produced and then marketed to other men. In the 21st century how is it educated men and women still believe fairy tales from antiquity?
Hey USBP464, if what the Bible says is nonsense then why have so many prophecies been perfectly fulfilled in detain just as prophesied? No you are the ignorant one for dismissing the infallible Word of God without examining the irrefutable evidence within it's pages and throughout history.
....For we all know very well that the Lord's day is coming, even satan knows this. Jesus is coming soon to rapture his church. It will be a pre-trib event, THANK GOD!
I have always wanted to have a vision or dream about the rapture, well last night I didnt see the rapture happen but there was a Rapture count down calender thats the only way to describe it, And I looked at it saying WOW thats when the rapture will happen, when I woke up I new that I had seen how many days but all I could remember was it was less than 300 days
MrFellowship, visions etc. ended with the completion of the Scriptures and will not resume until the Trib. The Trib is the last 7 years of the OT. Read the Bible (KJV). That's all you need. "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." (Matthew 24:36) "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." (Luke 21:36)
The Christians at the Rapture both dead and alive will be caught up with Christ to go to the Father's house where we have a place prepared for us. 144,000 Jews will be sealed and protected to spread the gospel of the Kingdom to the lost who will become the tribulation saints/Christians who will be martyred and appear before the God dressed in white robes and waving palm branches. The Bride of Christ is in heaven wears white linen. In Revelation 5: 9-10 she is singing the song of the Redeemed.
u r rather funny what it will sound like buddy hv u read ur bible it describes what Jesus will look like ees of coal hair like snow i cant remember all of the descriptn offhand but its there read it dnt say i wonder lol ur a horrible example of christian pls shake off the dust on ur bible nread 1more thing u will not b able to look at Jesus ppl will fall to the ground coz he is too holy to look at someppl r funny no wonder this world has such abad view of christians
The timetable consists of 7 years of tribulation, or testing of the church, then 1 year of wrath on earth and marriage supper in heaven, for a total of 8 years.
Daniels 70th week (7 days) are the 7 years of tribulation.
The Day of the Lord is the 8th year, Isa 63:4
Rapture occurs at the beginning of the Day of the Lord, after the tribulation, Matt 24:15-31.
The 2nd coming is at the end of the Day of the Lord.
The church is not found in Revelation after chapter 6 until chapter 20. The scene after the Rapture in Rev. 4:1 is before the throne of God.
When speaking of the Tribulation to believers the believers it is called the Day of of Christ and is always seen in a good light, because it is from a heavenly perspective; but from the ertly perspective in is called the Day of the Lord and is bad.
This day begins with the Tribulation and ends with Gog and Magog II at the end of the Millennium.
Starman, God does not want to punish his children, but we live in a world of sin and evil, he wants us all to be loving Christ and knowing him and accepting him as our God. The Rapture is a glorious thing, and when it happens we can only pray that those who have not accepted Christ, will do so.
The chrisitians I'm talking about are those who will accept Jesus During the tribulation. It'll be very trying for those who do not follow the Anti-Christ.
God bless! When people start to understand that the church is not national Israel, and Israel is not the church, they will begin to understand the rapture. Romans 11th chapter, Daniel 9:20-24. If people would take the time to find out what is the reason for the rapture and the tribulation period, they will be able to understand it better. If they will check out the Jewish wedding and compare it to the church, they will better understand. There's a Judgment trumpet and a feast trumpet. Good work.
Why would God pour out His Wrath upon His own people? The infidels have done that for 2000 years now. What is it for to you?
Jesus said:
"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." (Lk 21:36) "Because thou hast kept the Word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." (Rev 3:10)
The tribulation period is not for the church, but for Israel and the world. Israel is not the church, and the church is not Israel. Read Romans 11th chapter.This is why people don't understand it. Read Daniel 9:20-24. As soon as people study the different s of the two, they will be able to understand the rapture. Study the Jewish wedding, and you will understand the rapture of the church. Don't miss it because you refused to study it. You have the chance now before it's too late.
He has not appointed His children to wrath. Tribulation is for those who do not believe. He pours out His wrath on an unbelieving people, the world. Just look at those today in how they live. Believers are hated in this world and more so daily. Mocked and ridiculed, hated. He takes His people out of this world as they are not appointed to His wrath.
Well PeterWalser, it isn't certain when it happens it could have happened when I was typing this or not, but God says to be ready, to ask for forgiveness and to be one with the lord
Right, no one knows the time! That is precisely the reason we KNOW it will be a pre-Tribulational Rapture. Scripture says that the Tiib will begin with the Antichrist's "confirm[ing] the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease" (Dan 9:27; cf Dan 7:25; Rev 11:2-3, 12:6, 14, 13:5). Those in the Trib can know that after this covenant is confirmed that Jesus will return 2,520 days later, but we of this Age cannot know.
You need to examine the Bible more. There are several reasons that God has given in His Word that show us that the Rapture will be before the Tribulation. I gave one above, and here is another: Revelation is in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. The outline of the book is in 1:19: 1) the things John saw (Chap 1), 2) "the things which are" or the Church Age (Chap 2 & 3), and 3) "the things which shall be hereafter" (Chap 4 to the end). Rev 4:1 is the Rapture; Chap 4 & 5 are before the Throne of God.
I dont' think every one will hear the trumpet; I had a dream that told me only the BELIEVERS in the Rapture would, those who are expecting it; not at the end of Tribulation, BUT BEFORE! Because those who believe in the end trib Rapture will NOT WAIT FOR IT fbecause they expect the MARK OF THE BEAST TO COME FIRST! But there will be an earthquake, like never before, all around the world! This SELECTIVE earthquake will only share open the graves of believers in Jesus Christ!
I too believe the Rapture will be before the Tribulation, because it is what the Bible teaches.
But I do not trust dreams or prophesying for any prophetic information today. The Bible says, "... whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away." (1 Cor 13:8-10)
read my book about the Rapture! Released on ... Ascension Day 2008! And further encoded with it, as well as my first radio interview! Check my page! :-) new insights! new CODES! For there are RAPTURE CODES! Plus these codes confirm each other!!
I checked out your web site. Interesting! But I don't read French. The little bit of English was interesting, but it takes time to understand the numerics.
The Bible says in 1 Cor 15:51-52 that the physical bodies of believers will be "CHANGED" and that "... the Saviour, ... shall CHANGE our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body" (Phil 3:20-21; cf 1 Th 5:23-24). Mary's body is in the ground somewhere and her spirit is in heaven. Her resurrection will be at the rapture.
The apparitions of Medjugorje & Fatima were "great signs and wonders" (Matt 24:24) but they were invalid because they contradict God's Word (Deut 1-3).
One thing is to say the lord will take you to heaven and another is he will take you and your body.
this rapture Idea is wrong in the sense that people will not just vanish. when you are taken your body STAYS.
Let me give you an example if you look at the apparition of garabandal and Fatima you can see how father Luis Andrew was taken and also how the 2 children from Fatima were taken.
In other words your body stays, so this idea that people will just vanish is just a misunderstanding.
"... I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thess 5:23) "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, ... in the twinkling of an eye ... the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this ... mortal must put on immortality. ... then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." (1 Cor 15:51-56)
I believe the Scriptures are literal. The Lord had "flesh and bones" when He was raised (Lk 24:39) and my Bible says of believers, that "when He shall appear, we shall be like Him" (1 Jn 3:2). We shall all be changed and have a new kind of physical body like the Lord Jesus'. The Bible speaks of "the redemption of our body" (Rom 8:23). He will "change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body" (Phil 3:21; cf 1 Th 5:23-24). Mary's resurrection too will be at the rapture.
i'm sorry, but how does the body staying corroborate with being changed in a bat of an eye? and that definitely wouldn't mean that we have to keep these sorry bodies. but it just sounds a little funny to me because i thought "we" were the ones supposed to be cleaning up the bodies..
If our new bodies will be carbon or not, I don't know, but I do know that if one in born again, that is "born of water and of the Spirit" (John 3:5) through faith in Jesus Christ and Him alone for the remission of sins (Rom 3:24-26; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; John 14:6; Acts 4:12), then that one will be "changed" (1 Cor 15:51-54) and will go in the Rapture (1 Thess 4:14-17). God Himself, as He has regenerated our spirit, will "change our vile body" at that time (Titus 3:5; Phil 3:21; Rom 8:23).
Pharaoh hardened his own heart (Ex 8:15, 32, 9:34) through unbelief (2 Cor 4:3-4; 2 Thess 2:10-12). Therefore God sent him a "strong delusion" (2 Thess 2:11) and hardened that tyrant even more. Any sane person after 2 or 3 plagues would have freed the Hebrew slaves. God has forever known who would harden his heart and "believe not" (John 6:64; Prov 1:23-26; Isa 66:4) and who would receive "the love of the Truth, that they might be saved" (2 Thess 2:10, 13; 1 Pet 1:2; Rom 8:28-30) .
"And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. ... For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him." (1 Thessalonians 1:10, 5:9-10)
Awaiting the day when Lord Jesus utters the words, "Come up here." and we will be caught up to meet Him in the air ... and forever we will be with the Lord.
Matthew 24:40-41 But wait a moment, Christ does not say that those taken will go up to heaven to be with Christ, and in fact He says just the opposite.
Now I dont know about you but I do not want to be raptured.
Those left on earth after the great persecutions of the Antichrist, will see Christ coming in the clouds and , those going to hell will disappear (rapture) but those left will be lifted up body and soul into the clouds just before Christ destroys all creation.
"Whom shall He teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? ... For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. ... But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken." (Isaiah 28:13)
Sorry, that verse reference above should have been (Isaiah 28:9-10, 13). The point is that not everything may not be explained in one passage. We must search the Scriptures (John 5:39; Acts 17:11) "Which things also we speak, not in the words which mans wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." (1 Cor 2:13) Scripture interprets Scripture. "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." ( Prov 3:5)
Good video. I've been studying the subject of the Rapture for many years now, and once we understand the context of the Jewish feasts, we can easily decern when the Rapture occurs, and decode some of the statements often confused around the subject.
I recommend people google
'"Rapture Facts" and read the website (should be top of page) to the end.. It covers it pretty good... and references several other good sites on the subject.
Sure we an uncorrupted translation. The vast majority of people do not read Greek or Hebrew. We do not have to depend on the "scholars" to tell us what the Word of God says! That's what the Catholics did, the priest must tell you what the Bible means. No, no, no! The proof of the pudding is in the eating. There have been more people saved through the King James Bible than any other Bible in history, including the Greek and Hebrew.
Posts with blasphemy and vulgarity will be deleted.
I don't understand why some people hate God so much! You will loose your war with Him!
There is no such thing as the end of the world, only the world as we know it. The world and the Universe will be purged of sin and made perfect. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." (Rev 21:4)
i've googled they origins like mad and all the stuff i've seen says j. n. darby, scofield and company. why do so many churches not believe in the rapture? i'm serious, not trying to argue
Bible says you are reading this garbage into the word. Daniel 9 never says the trib is 7 years long, you have no scripture or prophecy showing Christ coming back 2 more times, their is no scripture for dispensationalisem their has always been grace Praise Yahweh!
If the first 69 "weeks" were weeks of years, and they were, then what is there that says the last week is not 7 years? You either have not studied the scriptures, have been deceived by someone or some spirit, or are in denial.
1 Thessalonians 1:10 is talking about "the wrath of the Lamb" (Revelation 6:16-17). The Tribulation, not the Lake of Fire is God's wrath. The Lake of Fire is the Second Death which means a separation from God. There is punishment in this separation, but God's absence precludes it from being His wrath.
Where does it say the wrath of the Lamb in 1 Thess. I used to believe in the pretrib rapture until I studied it there is nothing in the word bringing Christ back two more times and that is what the pre trib does. This theory does not line up with scripture and I pray Yahweh opens your eyes to the truth my friend.
No, you are totally wrong. The Tribulation is God's wrath. It is clear. You have no Scripture to back your false ideas. Christians have suffer the wrath of man for centuries, but that is nothing compared with God's wrath upon this wicked Christ rejecting world.
Oh, forgot, the Lord comes in the clouds, not to the earth, to catch us up, at the Rapture, then later He comes to stand on the Mount of Olives at the end.
The Word of God says that the Lord Jesus Christ will come first in the air to catch up all of this Dispensation of the Church and then at the end of the last 7 years of the Dispensation of Law (the Tribulation) He will physically stand on the Mount of Olives.
Phase 1 of the 2nd coming: "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, ... the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS, TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (1 Thess 4:15-17)
Phase 2 of the second coming: "Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south." (Zech 14:3-4)
Phase 2 occurs 7 years after phase 1. What happens between the 2 phases is that God pours out His wrath on the wicked of this earth. Then He returns with the Church following Him. John wrote, "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. ... And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean." (Rev 19:11, 14)
You need to stop reading things into the word and just start believing what it says. 1Thess, 4 is talking about the secound coming, if their is a coming before the secound coming then it is not the second anymore, Read John read John 5 their are two reserrctions one of life one of damnation they are found in revelation 20. Read them and stop making things up
Isaiah 26:19-21: "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity ..."
The Trib is a reversion back to the OT Dispensation of Law. It is the last 7 years of the prophecy of 70 weeks. The Church Age or Dispensation of Grace will be over. Read Rev. 1:19: The things John saw are recorded in Chap. 1, the things that are are Chap 2 & 3, the Church Age, and the things which are to come begin in Rev. 4:1. The scene in Rev. 4 & 5 occur in Heaven directly after the Rapture. The the Trib begins with the Lord Jesus opening the 1st seal releasing the Antichrist.
The Lord Jesus said, "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. ... Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left." (Matt 24:36-37,40) We in this Church Age do not know the time; those in the Tribulation will (Daniel 9:27)
What is the Day of the Lord? A careful study of the Scriptures show that it begins with the Tribulation and runs through the end of the Millennium. "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; IN THE WHICH the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." 2 Peter 3:10 begins with t
You have not studied the Scriptures, There is no Rapture as you Teach.
Caught up in the Air to take on the form of Spirit Existence, happens when the Messiah has descended from the clouds after the Beast's supposedly Seven Year Rule.
So you lie when you say the Rapture can happen at any time. Stop Lying !
I have studied the prophetic Scriptures for over 30 years. The Rapture will come. "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, ... For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (1 Thess 4:15-17)
Do you know what Satan's counter-theory for the rapture is? He's going to convince people that were left behind that those who are taken were abducted by aliens.
Be watching for the unveiling of the (Israel and Arab World) peace plan by Obama in cairo this june 4th. It's considered by the king of Jordan to be a 57 state solution. This may or may not be the signing of the 7 year peace agreement, which begins the 7 year tribulation. We don't know, but we need to be watching and praying. If it's not the peace covenant spoken of in the Bible, it will happen sooner or later. Be ready to make the rapture. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
'And he [Antichrist] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week [of years]: and in the midst of the week [see Dan. 7:25; Rev. 11:2-3, 12:6, 14, 13:5] he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease [break the covenant], and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate ..." (Daniel 9:27; see Matt. 24;15; 2 Thess 2:4)
"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it." (1 Thess 5:23-24)
i dont belive this at all. i noticed that there are 12237 views and only 4 comments. i feel like someone is deleating all of the ones that disagree with this video.... hmm... I wonder if i will be deleted as well.
The new age is coming. None will be saved except for those that save themselves. You can pray that it doesn't happen in your lifetime but the wise will collect their weapons and make their preparations now. The time after the tribulation belongs to whoever is the most prepared for it. If the scriptures make you feel better about it then that's fine, but remember to keep your eyes on the real prize, your ultimate survival. The weak of the species will perish.
Yes, the New Age (Age of Antichrist is coming, and is almost here). I will be surprised if it doesn't happen in my lifetime. Yes, some of the lost will fight the Antichrist's NWO, some go into the Tribulation will be saved, but the wise of this Age of Grace will receive Christ before the Rapture and be caught up to be with the Lord before the Tribulation begins. Temporal survival is nothing compared with eternity. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31)
wow..how wonderful..Gods wrath and tribulation..he created us in his image right????? but has stood by and watched men and women kill each other in the name of religion for 1,000's of years and does nothing???????? what his is insane excuse???? when god/jesus returns what will happen to someone who does not believe in religion???? what will happen to the pigmies in the rainforest who worship the sun?
My friend, this is not about religion! It's about salvation from hell! Why blame God for this mess? Put the blame where it belongs: On Satan and every member of humanity. We have 3 witnesses: Creation, Conscience & God's Word. The first two get us to thinking, the last will save us if we believe it's testimony concerning our lost condition, inability to save ourselves, and Jesus Christ's power to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. All who heed the witnesses will go to Heaven forever.
I agree! The KJV is the Bible for the English speaking people of the last days! It is inspired, infallible perfect Word of God.
The Rapture will be at the last trump of this Age of Grace. Then it will revert back to the Age of Law for it's last 7 years.
Every believer in Jesus of this Age of Grace will go to stand at the Judgment Seat of Christ to receive their reward or no reward (1 Cor 3:11-15; 2 Cor 5:10-11). "... We shall not all sleep, but we shall ALL be changed ..." (1 Cor 15;51)
I believe with 99.9% certainty the rapture will occur within my lifetime. There's nothing else that has to be completed for Jesus to come and take all believers to Heaven.
Those who teach that Christ will "rapture" the body of Christ before the start of Daniel's 70th week (Great Tribulation Period) are in violation of the warnings of Jesus Christ NOT to add or take away from the prophecy of the book of Revelation - or they will face the wrath of God. The pre-trib lie began about 1830 when some men decided that a 15-year-old girl really had a "vision" about a pre-trib rapture of Christians prior to the GTP. No early chuch fathers taught this heresy. Woe to you!
We have record that the pre-tribulation rapture was taught long before 1830. In 373 AD Ephraem the Syrian said, "For all the saints and Elect of God are gathered, prior to the Tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins" (On the Last Times, the Antichrist, and the End of the World). also see the Word of God (Isaiah 26;19-20; 1 Cor 15:51; 1 Thess 1;10, 4:13-18, 59; 2 Thess 2:1-3).
the rapture's origins are well documented it's a 1800's invention , just google the names darby, c i scofield, mcdonald etc. it got wheels in the usa in 1909 with the scofield ref. bible.
The rapture's origins are well documented in the Word of God. See my reply to "777denny" below. Also think on this: We of this Dispensation of Grace will not know the day or hour, but those of the Tribulation can know the day of Christ's return. It will be exactly 2,520 days after Antichrist confirms the covenant between the Jews and Arabs" (Daniel 9:27). Let's not force the Scriptures to contradict themselves.
Check this video out for how the christians intend to bring on world war three and thereby kill everyone on Earth and finally destroy all mankind. Born-again rapture feaks want to finish human civilisation forever. If these christians get their way, everything everyone ever lived or died for will all have come to nothing. Next to this, all the crimes and genocides throughout history will pale into insignificance. Religion is the enemy of humanity and life itself.
It is a lie to say that true Christians want death and destruction. "The Lord is ... longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 2:9; cf. 1 Timothy 2:4) It is also slander to compare Born Again believers with Islamic terrorists. Knowing what will happen is not wishing destruction on anyone. "And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, ... and them that dwell in heaven." (Revelation 13:6; cf. 1 Peter 3:16)
Yes, but we are not talking about political religions like Roman Catholicism or Islam. We are talking about a Person, Jesus Christ, not religion. He will come a second time to judge the wickedness of religions, including Atheism. But He came the first time to save all who will repent and trust in Him. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
Thanks for rightly dividing The Word of God! As Jesus said when you see all these things happening in the world, At the same time... (Rapture is getting close)
we need to understand, there is not going to be some secret rapture , like the pretrib teach, and christians need to wake up to the fact that as soon as satan is kicked out of heaven there is going to be a great tribulation on christians, persecution on the saints, matt 24;21-22, rev 6:9-11,also 7:9-17, 12:1-17, then the six seal takes place rapture, rev 6:12-17, matt 24:29-31, mark13:14-27,1thess4:13-18,5:1 -11,2thess2:1-9, 1 peter4:16-19, and read that jesus told the churches he that over come
Let's not force our own ideas into God's Word causing them to contradict themselves. Revelation 1:19 is one of the keys to understanding the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. There John was told: "Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter." The "things which thou hast seen" are recorded in Chap 1, "the things which are" are the Church Age in Chapters 2 & 3, and "the things which shall be hereafter" begin in Revelation 4:1: "Come up hither."
Can't wait for the day when the Lord returns wow and we will see him face to face. Be reunited with our lost loved ones and just be able to fellowship with every believer in the world
the sin of unbelief is the only unpardonable sin. I was shown that those in Hell right now were there because they had refused to believe in the only One who cannot lie, that is, Jesus Christ!
(and not because they di dnot believe in Mohammed, or Buddha, or the Great Goddess, or Satan, or Allah!) They only have themselves to blame, and that is so sad...
This video says the world will wonder and seek answers for whathas happened. This is false. All the world will know that it is the return of Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that every eye will see Him coming. nobody will wonder what is happening. Everyone, believer or not, will know. The concept of a 'secret rapture' is false.
Every eye will see Him at the end of the Tribulation, but only miss millions of believers at the Rapture. "... ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come." (1 Thes 1:9-10 ) "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us ..." (1 Thess 5:9-10) Man's wrath, and God's are different things!
Its on its way big time, Im ready to go, wow Im so glad i stumbled across this video! Sadly as u said the unsaved will not go, for rejectin Gods son. There is still hope though,those who have been left behind will accept Christ,but still have to go through the tribulation
It is on its way big time, sadly though as u said the unsaved will not go. The unsaved will be left behind. Those who have been left behind, will go through tribulation. There is hope though the unsad\ved after the event takes place will accept Christ. Cause they will remember that their Loved ones who were saved have told them it was coming,but ignored and even scoffed at it.
I believe the rapture is near too my friend ! Although I anxiously await the rapture, I am saddened though. I read in horror the hundreds of comments posted on this site, mocking Christianity and challenging God. It grows worse and worse everyday. Jesus said Himself that people will hate you for His namesake. We are all making a conscious decision to believe or to deny. Please friends if you don't believe I urge you to take a look or second look at Jesus the Savior of the world! God Bless!!!
There is not a pre-tribulation rapture. Everyone will go through the tribulation. Only those who beg for God's strength will endure. This is proven since Jesus will only come back to a spotless bride. For a spotless bride we to must be judged. Purified, and sanctified of sin.
The Tribulation is not required for the Bride's cleansing! Christ's blood took care of that!
"Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." (Acts 20:28)
We Lord's Word to His Bride is we are NOT APPOINTED TO HIS WRATH (1 Thess 1:10, 5:9).
"... Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. (Eph 5:25-27)
God has always made a way for his followers to escape his judgements, Noe and the ark, the great flood; Lot of sodom & gomorrah, fire & brimstone; Moses & the hebrews escape from egypt and pharoh in the red sea, Warning always comes before destruction, in the form of a prophet
Romans 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth Isaiah 63:17 Why, O LORD, do You cause us to stray from Your ways And harden our heart from fearing You? Proverbs 1:26 "I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh" Says YHVH Nice god you got there.
You quote Isaiah 63:17 trying to cast doubt on God's goodness.
God hardens the hearts of those who first hardened their own hearts.
Proverbs 3:5-7: "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil."
Psalm 86:5: "For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee."
You quote Scripture accusing God of evil. Romans 9:18 does not mean God is evil. God hardens those who reject Him, but has mercy on those who receive Him. People are chosen by God in accordance with what He knew they do with truth. "Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father ... " (1 Peter 1:2). People are saved, "because God hath from the beginning chosen [them] to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and BELIEF OF THE TRUTH." (2 Thess 2:13)
You also give parts of 2 Thess 2:11-12 in an attempt to cast doubt on God's character. You quote, "... God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth ..." You quote the reason that they are damned. It is because they "believed not the truth." You leave out previous verse which says, "they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." (v 10) and that they "had pleasure in unrighteousness." (v 12)
Likewise you pretend that God is not good by quoting Proverbs 1:26 while ignoring the context of the passage. Proverbs 1:29-31 says, "For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices."
Psalm 34:8: "O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him."
Absolutely, God's people were persecuted by Pagan Rome, and then the Roman Catholics, and by Islam, and the Communists, and Hindus, and Buddhists, and Atheists. Multiplied millions have died at the hands of the wicked.
I love discussing prophecy as well. For me, prophecy proves Christianity altogether. The prophecy that has passed and the prophecy that is to come just amazes me.
I don't know if Henry, Calvin, Spurgeon, Edwards believed in the Rapture or not. But it makes no difference. God said there would be a Rapture: "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." (Matt 24:40-42)
Right, 40 & 41 are not talking about a secret rapture. They are talking about a Rapture well known among Bible believers & will be know after it occurs.
Christ tells us to "watch" several times in His discourses, but He also tells us that we will "know not" the time of His return. But no so for those in the Tribulation.
Luke 21:36: "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."
Rightly said so! And what benefit would earlier generations have had from a thorough occupation with the Rapture? They had other tasks to do and were lead by the Holy Ghost in the ways He had prepared for them. Logically, the last generation before Christ's return is being lead to a deeper insight - because it concerns them! Another indication that these events aren't anymore far away.
those who choose not to except our Lord Jesus as their savior,what a sad day it will be when believers are rapture off the earth and the ones left behind will have 7 years of tribulation.terrible terrible 7 years

Actually the correct rendering of Revelation 3:10 is: "Because thou hast KEPT THE WORD OF MY PATIENCE, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."
Believers at the end of the Church Age when Christ comes who have "kept the Word of [Christ's] patience" (i.e. received Christ's Word) will be Raptured to Heaven.

The Christians at the Rapture both dead and alive will be caught up with Christ to go to the Father's house where we have a place prepared for us. 144,000 Jews will be sealed and protected to spread the gospel of the Kingdom to the lost who will become the tribulation saints/Christians who will be martyred and appear before the God dressed in white robes and waving palm branches. The Bride of Christ is in heaven wears white linen. In Revelation 5: 9-10 she is singing the song of the Redeemed.

The timetable consists of 7 years of tribulation, or testing of the church, then 1 year of wrath on earth and marriage supper in heaven, for a total of 8 years.
Daniels 70th week (7 days) are the 7 years of tribulation.
The Day of the Lord is the 8th year, Isa 63:4
Rapture occurs at the beginning of the Day of the Lord, after the tribulation, Matt 24:15-31.
The 2nd coming is at the end of the Day of the Lord.
I can provide scriptural proof upon request.

The church is not found in Revelation after chapter 6 until chapter 20. The scene after the Rapture in Rev. 4:1 is before the throne of God.
When speaking of the Tribulation to believers the believers it is called the Day of of Christ and is always seen in a good light, because it is from a heavenly perspective; but from the ertly perspective in is called the Day of the Lord and is bad.
This day begins with the Tribulation and ends with Gog and Magog II at the end of the Millennium.

God bless! When people start to understand that the church is not national Israel, and Israel is not the church, they will begin to understand the rapture. Romans 11th chapter, Daniel 9:20-24. If people would take the time to find out what is the reason for the rapture and the tribulation period, they will be able to understand it better. If they will check out the Jewish wedding and compare it to the church, they will better understand. There's a Judgment trumpet and a feast trumpet. Good work.

The tribulation period is not for the church, but for Israel and the world. Israel is not the church, and the church is not Israel. Read Romans 11th chapter.This is why people don't understand it. Read Daniel 9:20-24. As soon as people study the different s of the two, they will be able to understand the rapture. Study the Jewish wedding, and you will understand the rapture of the church. Don't miss it because you refused to study it. You have the chance now before it's too late.

He has not appointed His children to wrath. Tribulation is for those who do not believe. He pours out His wrath on an unbelieving people, the world. Just look at those today in how they live. Believers are hated in this world and more so daily. Mocked and ridiculed, hated. He takes His people out of this world as they are not appointed to His wrath.

Right, no one knows the time! That is precisely the reason we KNOW it will be a pre-Tribulational Rapture. Scripture says that the Tiib will begin with the Antichrist's "confirm[ing] the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease" (Dan 9:27; cf Dan 7:25; Rev 11:2-3, 12:6, 14, 13:5). Those in the Trib can know that after this covenant is confirmed that Jesus will return 2,520 days later, but we of this Age cannot know.

You need to examine the Bible more. There are several reasons that God has given in His Word that show us that the Rapture will be before the Tribulation. I gave one above, and here is another: Revelation is in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. The outline of the book is in 1:19: 1) the things John saw (Chap 1), 2) "the things which are" or the Church Age (Chap 2 & 3), and 3) "the things which shall be hereafter" (Chap 4 to the end). Rev 4:1 is the Rapture; Chap 4 & 5 are before the Throne of God.

I dont' think every one will hear the trumpet; I had a dream that told me only the BELIEVERS in the Rapture would, those who are expecting it; not at the end of Tribulation, BUT BEFORE! Because those who believe in the end trib Rapture will NOT WAIT FOR IT fbecause they expect the MARK OF THE BEAST TO COME FIRST! But there will be an earthquake, like never before, all around the world! This SELECTIVE earthquake will only share open the graves of believers in Jesus Christ!

I too believe the Rapture will be before the Tribulation, because it is what the Bible teaches.
But I do not trust dreams or prophesying for any prophetic information today. The Bible says, "... whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away." (1 Cor 13:8-10)

The Bible says in 1 Cor 15:51-52 that the physical bodies of believers will be "CHANGED" and that "... the Saviour, ... shall CHANGE our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body" (Phil 3:20-21; cf 1 Th 5:23-24). Mary's body is in the ground somewhere and her spirit is in heaven. Her resurrection will be at the rapture.
The apparitions of Medjugorje & Fatima were "great signs and wonders" (Matt 24:24) but they were invalid because they contradict God's Word (Deut 1-3).

One thing is to say the lord will take you to heaven and another is he will take you and your body.
this rapture Idea is wrong in the sense that people will not just vanish. when you are taken your body STAYS.
Let me give you an example if you look at the apparition of garabandal and Fatima you can see how father Luis Andrew was taken and also how the 2 children from Fatima were taken.
In other words your body stays, so this idea that people will just vanish is just a misunderstanding.

I believe the Scriptures are literal. The Lord had "flesh and bones" when He was raised (Lk 24:39) and my Bible says of believers, that "when He shall appear, we shall be like Him" (1 Jn 3:2). We shall all be changed and have a new kind of physical body like the Lord Jesus'. The Bible speaks of "the redemption of our body" (Rom 8:23). He will "change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body" (Phil 3:21; cf 1 Th 5:23-24). Mary's resurrection too will be at the rapture.

i'm sorry, but how does the body staying corroborate with being changed in a bat of an eye? and that definitely wouldn't mean that we have to keep these sorry bodies. but it just sounds a little funny to me because i thought "we" were the ones supposed to be cleaning up the bodies..

If our new bodies will be carbon or not, I don't know, but I do know that if one in born again, that is "born of water and of the Spirit" (John 3:5) through faith in Jesus Christ and Him alone for the remission of sins (Rom 3:24-26; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; John 14:6; Acts 4:12), then that one will be "changed" (1 Cor 15:51-54) and will go in the Rapture (1 Thess 4:14-17). God Himself, as He has regenerated our spirit, will "change our vile body" at that time (Titus 3:5; Phil 3:21; Rom 8:23).

Pharaoh hardened his own heart (Ex 8:15, 32, 9:34) through unbelief (2 Cor 4:3-4; 2 Thess 2:10-12). Therefore God sent him a "strong delusion" (2 Thess 2:11) and hardened that tyrant even more. Any sane person after 2 or 3 plagues would have freed the Hebrew slaves. God has forever known who would harden his heart and "believe not" (John 6:64; Prov 1:23-26; Isa 66:4) and who would receive "the love of the Truth, that they might be saved" (2 Thess 2:10, 13; 1 Pet 1:2; Rom 8:28-30) .

The answer in one word: Scriptures.
1. The Tribulation is the last 7 years of the Dispensation of Law. It has nothing to do with the Dispensation of Grace.
2. The saints of the Dispensation of Grace will not know the time; the Tribulation saints will know.
3. The saints of this Dispensation are not appointed to God's wrath.
4. Revelation 2 & 3 describe this Dispensation while the Rapture occurs in Revelation 4:1 and the Tribulation events begin after that.
5. Read Luke 21:36.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 is talking about "the wrath of the Lamb" (Revelation 6:16-17). The Tribulation, not the Lake of Fire is God's wrath. The Lake of Fire is the Second Death which means a separation from God. There is punishment in this separation, but God's absence precludes it from being His wrath.

Where does it say the wrath of the Lamb in 1 Thess. I used to believe in the pretrib rapture until I studied it there is nothing in the word bringing Christ back two more times and that is what the pre trib does. This theory does not line up with scripture and I pray Yahweh opens your eyes to the truth my friend.

No, you are totally wrong. The Tribulation is God's wrath. It is clear. You have no Scripture to back your false ideas. Christians have suffer the wrath of man for centuries, but that is nothing compared with God's wrath upon this wicked Christ rejecting world.

The Word of God says that the Lord Jesus Christ will come first in the air to catch up all of this Dispensation of the Church and then at the end of the last 7 years of the Dispensation of Law (the Tribulation) He will physically stand on the Mount of Olives.

Phase 1 of the 2nd coming: "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, ... the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS, TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

Phase 2 of the second coming: "Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south."

Phase 2 occurs 7 years after phase 1. What happens between the 2 phases is that God pours out His wrath on the wicked of this earth. Then He returns with the Church following Him. John wrote, "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. ... And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean." (Rev 19:11, 14)

The Trib is a reversion back to the OT Dispensation of Law. It is the last 7 years of the prophecy of 70 weeks. The Church Age or Dispensation of Grace will be over.

The new age is coming. None will be saved except for those that save themselves. You can pray that it doesn't happen in your lifetime but the wise will collect their weapons and make their preparations now. The time after the tribulation belongs to whoever is the most prepared for it. If the scriptures make you feel better about it then that's fine, but remember to keep your eyes on the real prize, your ultimate survival. The weak of the species will perish.

Temporal survival is nothing compared with eternity. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31)

My friend, this is not about religion! It's about salvation from hell! Why blame God for this mess? Put the blame where it belongs: On Satan and every member of humanity. We have 3 witnesses: Creation, Conscience & God's Word. The first two get us to thinking, the last will save us if we believe it's testimony concerning our lost condition, inability to save ourselves, and Jesus Christ's power to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. All who heed the witnesses will go to Heaven forever.

Every believer in Jesus of this Age of Grace will go to stand at the Judgment Seat of Christ to receive their reward or no reward (1 Cor 3:11-15; 2 Cor 5:10-11). "... We shall not all sleep, but we shall ALL be changed ..." (1 Cor 15;51)

Those who teach that Christ will "rapture" the body of Christ before the start of Daniel's 70th week (Great Tribulation Period) are in violation of the warnings of Jesus Christ NOT to add or take away from the prophecy of the book of Revelation - or they will face the wrath of God. The pre-trib lie began about 1830 when some men decided that a 15-year-old girl really had a "vision" about a pre-trib rapture of Christians prior to the GTP. No early chuch fathers taught this heresy. Woe to you!

We have record that the pre-tribulation rapture was taught long before 1830. In 373 AD Ephraem the Syrian said, "For all the saints and Elect of God are gathered, prior to the Tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins" (On the Last Times, the Antichrist, and the End of the World). also see the Word of God (Isaiah 26;19-20; 1 Cor 15:51; 1 Thess 1;10, 4:13-18, 59; 2 Thess 2:1-3).

It is a lie to say that true Christians want death and destruction. "The Lord is ... longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 2:9; cf. 1 Timothy 2:4) It is also slander to compare Born Again believers with Islamic terrorists. Knowing what will happen is not wishing destruction on anyone.

Let's not force our own ideas into God's Word causing them to contradict themselves. Revelation 1:19 is one of the keys to understanding the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. There John was told: "Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter." The "things which thou hast seen" are recorded in Chap 1, "the things which are" are the Church Age in Chapters 2 & 3, and "the things which shall be hereafter" begin in Revelation 4:1: "Come up hither."

People are chosen by God in accordance with what He knew they do with truth. "Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father ... " (1 Peter 1:2). People are saved, "because God hath from the beginning chosen [them] to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and BELIEF OF THE TRUTH." (2 Thess 2:13)

It is because they "believed not the truth." You leave out previous verse which says, "they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved."

Right, 40 & 41 are not talking about a secret rapture. They are talking about a Rapture well known among Bible believers & will be know after it occurs.
Christ tells us to "watch" several times in His discourses, but He also tells us that we will "know not" the time of His return. But no so for those in the Tribulation.
Luke 21:36: "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."

Rightly said so! And what benefit would earlier generations have had from a thorough occupation with the Rapture? They had other tasks to do and were lead by the Holy Ghost in the ways He had prepared for them. Logically, the last generation before Christ's return is being lead to a deeper insight - because it concerns them! Another indication that these events aren't anymore far away.
