ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS: The Harpazo/Rapture Is God's Next Catastrophic Intervention Into History

If you're a born-again Christian who's post-trib/pre-wrath, God bless you; I'll see you when we're with the Lord. But a warning to trolls: please study up before making any comment.

Judging from what we see when we place current events over the template of the Bible, it looks like the grand finale is nearly here. The next event on the schedule is the rapture of the church when every Christian (in the true sense of the word) will be taken from this planet so quickly the time sequence will be impossible to measure. And then it will happen. The events associated with the last great battle will begin. (Yes, about 1007 years later another, and perhaps less significant, skirmish will take place, but it will not last long.) However, the big one will begin soon after the rapture, and the earth as billions have know it for millennia will be forever changed. This is called the tribulation, and Jesus said nobody would survive if the time would not be limited.

The tribulation period, also known as the 70th week of Daniel chapter 9, will be a time of unprecedented horror for those left behind. Anti-Christ will appear, catastrophic geological changes will occur, oceans and seas will be ruined, the world economy will collapse, God's righteous judgment will be poured out and untold multitudes will die from war, famine, disease and an animal world gone berserk. Revelation 6-19 describes these events.

The disappearance of the church in itself will throw this planet into a level of chaos that is impossible to imagine at this point. Nobody knows how many will be taken. Millions? Hundreds of millions, or billions? We simply do not know. But, this we do know: it will put this world on its head in more ways than one.

The disappearance of multitudes will impact different countries in different ways, but the net result will be felt worldwide. In countries where relatively few people are Christians the infrastructure will see little immediate change. Saudi Arabia and other Moslem countries are strongly anti-God by official policy. That means there are few Christians there, and hardly any of those are in critical government, military and industrial positions. The same can be said about China, North Korea, etc. Again, this is a relative evaluation, and the principle is broadly applied.

Though America is basically in the toilet spiritually speaking, yet there are many Christians scattered about in most every field, even possibly some in Congress (tongue-in-cheek). Our military has many believers, and at least some of those are in the senior NCO and general officer ranks. When the rapture occurs it is quite possible our Armed Forces will go to a very high state of readiness, not knowing what happened and what to expect. If a number of commanders in critical positions are taken several things will happen.

First, the chain of command will be broken. To civilians that means little, but to those familiar with threat-response-protocol it means a lot. Intelligence-gathering will be affected, and the loss of some top-level analysts will seriously hinder the government's ability to accurately sort out what has happened. This will cause panic, and panicky people are apt to go off half-cocked. Strategic and tactical communications will probably be affected. Whatever information that will be available will go up and down the chain of command with a lot of distortion. Indecision, doubt and a whole lot of second-guessing will most probably be running amuck — a dangerous thing at any time, and especially so then.

The stock markets of the world will probably drop like a rock with investors pulling out of everything while they try to figure out what has become valuable or worthless in a matter of just a few hours or less. Even when drastic swings in the global markets can be explained logically, financial panic still has a way of making everything go to pieces. This, however, will be compounded at the rapture for at least two reasons. Multitudes will suddenly disappear before the very eyes of throngs of people, some of whom will be big cogs in big wheels in big industry. Piles of clothes along with jewelry, dental fillings, pace-makers, etc. will lie rumpled in the exact place where just a nano-second before an associate was standing. In less than a eye-blink they will be gone. And secondly, 99% of those who see it will not have a clue as to what and why this has happened. The suddenness of this inexplicable event will be further complicated by those religious leaders left behind who will lie and use deception to answer the questions multitudes will ask.

Sorry, but there is no rapture and I will easily debate anyone on this topic as long as they are willing to actually read scripture and use a Concordance. Provers 10:30 states it clear enough for a babe.

[truth4Children]

@MinisterQuietBuck - OK, start with strongs: removed (H4131)="to waver, slip, shake or fall, be fallen in decay, cast out"....there's a "rapture" there? those verses are NOT used in any prophetic context but rather in a series of moral contrasts.

brother you cannot be a disciple of YHWH without first being justified by the blood of Jesus Christ. if you're coming any other way it's as a robber and a thief (John 10:1) let's remember to practice proper exegesis before getting all puffed up.

[MinisterQuietBuck]

@truth4Children: Did you forget Heb 13:7, 13:17, Rom 13:6-7, 1Tim 5:1, 5:19? I spoke scripture, what puffed? I see Pro 12:1. Are you a teacher, Heb 5:12? Please open Concordance, define 1Thess 4:17. You will realize it is not the picture you imagine, G3507, G109. But a repeat of Deut and Ex. Since you refuse Pro 10:30, read John 17:15, Ez 13:20. If you want I can give more. Study rapture, invented by the Jesuits about 300 yrs ago. Justified by blood of a false name? Matt 22:36-40, Gal 5:14.

[truth4Children]

@MinisterQuietBuck - wow...so much for your promised "debate" on that one verse.

And God forgive you for even suggesting the blood of Jesus Christ is the blood of a "false name". brother the bible wasn't written in hebrew, but greek - and the name "Iesous" is the name above all names (Acts 4:12). you CANNOT be saved by the invoking the name of the Father, for you cannot come to the Father unless you first come to His Son. tread carefully, lest you trample the blood of Christ underfoot.

@hdhogdog y get technical? rapture, snatching away.. sounds like the same thing to me.

[1986TruthSeeker]

WHEN DO WE GO TO THE ROOM CHRIST PREPARED FOR US? IN HEAVEN, WHERE THE MANSIONS ARE. BEFORE THE MILLENNIUM PERIOD, BEFORE THE END. DURING THE MILLENNIUM, THE KINGDOM WILL COME TO EARTH. A NEW EARTH. THERE MUST BE A RAPTURE. CORRECT ME IF YOU THINK THIS IS FLAWED. GOD BLESS.

[IPrayHeComesQuickly]

@MinisterQuietBuck hey, maybe for you, there is no rapture....

[MamasitaDeVegas]

@MinisterQuietBuck Physician...heal thyself.

[MinisterQuietBuck]

@MamasitaDeVegas:

Pro 1:7 The fear of YHWH is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom & instruction.

2Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of YHWH, & is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Ps 50:16-17 But unto the wicked YHWH saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? Seeing thou hatest instruction, & castest my words behind thee.

Sad you despise the Word.

[MamasitaDeVegas]

@MinisterQuietBuck Really? What verse is that? There are different kinds of spirit Buck. When someone can't talk like a regular person and hides behind quoting scripture tells me alot. False prophet.

[MinisterQuietBuck]

@MamasitaDeVegas:

Pro 10:30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

Ez 13:20 Wherefore thus saith the Master YHWH; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.

Ps 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth;

[MinisterQuietBuck]

@MamasitaDeVegas: So Father is not a spirit as you claim, Jn 4:23? The Living Word is Father's right hand, Ps 20:6. Baring false witness by claiming something personal about me, Ex 20:6? Never claimed to be a prophet, Pro 14:5. Yes, YHWH will choose all things, and Ez 13 clearly states Father HATES the rapture and those who teach it. Matt 13:30 clearly states the TARES go first. Are you a tare? Being you are openly failing scripture, scripture speaks, 2Jn 1:9. Take heed to 1Tim 5:1, 1Tim 2:12.

[MamasitaDeVegas]

@MinisterQuietBuck Not a spirit. God told me. He is the living word. Not the book. God. You have obviously never heard His Voice which is troublesome as to your genuiness. You're a false prophet! God alone will choose who goes up in the rapture. I pray and hope that He will count me worthy to go up. Don't be sad for me..you have enough issues in your own life to meditate on.
