End Times Prophesy (part 1 - the Church)

http://truthinlove.com/analogies/last_days.htm

This video describes what will happen to the Church in the End Times.
The Church will be persecuted by the Beast for times time and time and a half but will be saved by the return of Christ when he comes unexpectedly at the end of the Great Tribulation.
A small number of Christians who have kept themselves pure will be spared from the hour of trial - they are said to number 144000.
The rest of the Church will be persecuted by the Beast for 1260 days.
After this the Church will be harvested by angel like the son of man and by another angel who is in charge of the fire. The true believers will meet with Christ in the clouds along with the 'sleeping' believers who will be raised from the dead. (This is the First Resurrection) False Christians will go to hades to wait for judgement at the Great White Throne.
All believers will reign with Christ during the Millennium in Heaven where they will be rewarded for the things that they have done in the Body.
After the Millennium is over, those who took part in the first resurrection will decend from Heaven as a bride beautifully adorned for her husband to become the New Jerusalem where God will dwell with Man for all eternity.

Sorry to disapoint you guys, but a pre-trib rapture is not at all scriptural since Jesus Himself said He'll send His angels to gather the remaining Christians after the tribulation. The Bible says the anti-christ will be given power to make war against the saints and to overcome them.

[drnhawkins]

agree, the rapture is post (1260 day) tribulation but pre wedding (1335-1260) pre wrath (1335-1290)

maybe there will be a few saints who escaped the tribulation - the firstfruits.

God's wrath is for the nations who reject the gospel. The church gets raptured before the wrath but after the tribulation.

[scooter8887]

The problem that exists with the mid-trib wrath is the absence of imminent return.Other things may happen before the imminent event,but nothing else must happen.If something else must take place before an event can happen,that event is not imminent.If christians are here at the mid-trib,then we would know there are 3 1/2 years to the 2nd coming of Christ,enabling date setting and ruling out an imminent return of Christ.The taking up of the saints before the entire tribulation is the only fit..

[drnhawkins]

thanks for your comment - this view is best called a pre-wrath view rather than a mid-trib view because the harvest/rapture of the church is at the end of the 1260days (post trib) but before God pours out his Wrath on the nations (pre-wrath) that are left behind on Earth for the 75 days that follow the rapture of the church (1335-1260).

[dunhova]

God will NOT allow the Church to go through the Tribulation Period. No judgment could fall upon Sodom, until Lot and his family were removed. Likewise, the Church will be Translated (Raptured) away from this sin-cursed world before the Tribulation.

[drnhawkins]

Yes, God will rapture the church before he pours out his wrath upon the nations. The church will have to go thru the tribulation which is different to God's wrath. (the antichrist has to have somebody to chase during the 1260 days!)

[k0smon]

We will all be disappointed as Harold Camping was, if we have faith in this second coming. It should have been here 1900 years ago according to Mark 9 :1.

Your rapture will occur within the next 80 years on the day you die, that is a prophesy you can count on.

@scooter8887 Go read an old dictionary "Iminent" does not mean immediately. It means it is pending and expected. The Bible is clear that there are several things in prophecy that must come first. read Matt 24 with out presupositions of the when the rapture happens. Jesus said in v. 21-30 when it would be.

[MinWilliamJosephWWM]

how can we prove there is a "Church Age" ?

[JesusFul100sProphec]

We are Already INSIDE a Seven Year Peace Treaty, between Israel and a Rebuilt Roman Empire, led by One man, Javier Solana, who holds All the power?

A Treaty was signed by Israel and took Effect on January 1, 2007 Called the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership for Peace?

Israel was the First to Sign it which gives Economic Incentives,Peace and Safety!? How much time do we really have?

You may want to watch this?

@Seekers:

In Rev 12:3 No Crowns are on the Horns of the Dragon but In Rev 13:1 There are Crowns? Something Very Important happens in Rev 12?

These are some of the OT Prophecies I teach as Foundation Scriptures for the Harpazo?

Because of Isaiah 26:17-21 and how this relates to the discoveries of definitions of words I have found in Rev 12!

Man Child & Overcomer Relate by Comparing Rev12:5 with Rev 2:26?

Which gives a Revelation of the Rapture thru the Words Nations, Rule, and Rod of Iron?

[JesusFul100sProphec]

In Isaiah 26:17 He teaches Us,Like as a woman with child, draws near to the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.(Israel?)

Isaiah 26:18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought ANY deliverance in the Earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

I believe these Scriptures In Isaiah 26 are Related to the Woman and Man Child of Revelation 12? Continues;-)

[JesusFul100sProphec]

COME (H498) Hebrew means to depart or go away? Refers to Rapture because of Isaiah 26:19 and 20!?

Isaiah 26:19 Your Dead men Shall ARISE! Awake and sing, you that DWELL in the DUST, the Earth SHALL CAST OUT The DEAD. Rapture?

Isaiah 26:20 COME, MY PEOPLE, enter into your chambers.... until the TRIBULATION be OVERPAST.

This verse relates to the Second Advent in Rev 19!

Isa 26:21 For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the Earth for their iniquity:

[JesusFul100sProphec]

I Understood this "Man Child,"could be the Body of Christ when I read, In Rev 12:5This Man Child was, "to Rule All Nations with a Rod of Iron!"

I remembered I had read something about a Promise to the Over comers in Rev 2:26-27 "And he that Overcomes and Does my Works unto the End, to him will I give Power over the Nations:

And he shall Rule them with a Rod of Iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers:EVEN as I Received of My Father."

The OverComers are the Man Child?

[JesusFul100sProphec]

Personally, I perceive the Catching Away of the Body of Christ in Rev12:5, because of the definitions of the Greek words!

The word "Child,"means a SON, used to Describe those who are Born Again (Luke 20:36) and Sons and Daughters who Resemble God in Life and Character!

All of these concepts relate to Members of the Body of Christ?

These verses prove this "Man Child" is the Body of Christ and will be "Caught Up," To God's Throne, Before the Remnant of Israel is Protected, for 42 Months?
