There is no “Rapture”.
The concept denies the Second Coming of Christ, by injecting a prior judgement.
I bought tickets to the Rapture but I was five minutes late.
Prof. Ed Hindson is speaking
Hmmmm
I wish we’d all been ready
Ezekiel 33...you have warned the people...let them do what they will with the material you have presented.
Ready for the Rapture. Achieved OT VIII and my Temple garments are packed.
I remember the bumper stickers, back in the 1960s “in case of Rapture, this car will be unmanned.” And this was, I think, before the ‘Left Behind’ books.
With what is going on in the world, pretrib rapturists thought they would gone by now, since things are only going to get worse, their voices and FR threads - like this one - are only going to get shriller as we go along.
Some of the more studious ones are abandoning their former superficial reading of the Bible, sadly some like MHG in Tennessee are so adamant they will take the mark of the beast (MOB) before they’ll admit they are wrong...and dam their souls for eternity.
Their doctrine demands that they be raptured BEFORE the beast/antichrist, therefore, when the antichrist and his mark does get here, they’ll say, “my pretrib doctrine says this cannot possibly be the antichrist, this absolutely cannot be the MOB, so, sure I’ll take the mark, I’ll be proving these pesky post-tribs wrong by doing it.”
I believe it was the history channel that did a series on Armagheddon (I thin Hagee had a lot to do with it- I’m no Hagee fan, and think he’s way opff on some things, but he’s right about some things too) and surprisingly it wasn’t ‘too far off’ from what the bible says about the end times, and it was kidna cool seeing the events unfold in visual form in a way that is possible (not that it will go down exactly like the shows- but it’s ‘possible’ that it could)
It was kinda cool seeing the unsaved slowly coming to the realization that the rapture had indeed taken place, despite the government and media desperately trying to ‘explain away’ the supernatural events taking place- and it showed how the masses, In the end times, will be deceived into following the anti-Christ
Things will be so bad In the end times, that masses of starving, penniless people will gobble up whatever ‘freebies’ the government promises them because they are so destitute and desperate The government will demand that the people come out of hiding and move to a ‘sanctuary city’ where everything will be supplied for them- fuel, food, water, electricity, etc
I personally believe that this whole ‘man-caused global climate change’ scam is going to factor in heavily into the end times as the government WILL use it to financially cripple the masses- and then the people will become dependent on the government who will then be able do or say whatever they want because people will be so desperate
The reason I think they will use climate change to cripple the people is because this will be a world-wide issue- all nations will be involved, heck, already are involved- prices are going through the roof- people are beginning ot have to severely cut down on things like electricity usage, fuel usage (although fuel prices have temporarily dropped for now) etc- Our Government cutting help to seniors, disabled, veterans etc- while pouring hundreds of billions into illegals- Our government talking about cutting disability and SS by 20% in 2016- Gov trying to increase fuel prices again (current leader would like to see $8.00 a gallon) etc things are going to get very desperate- Making it nearly impossible for big businesses by enacting draconian regulations, wage increases for minimum wages HC requirements etc-
Our government seems to be intentionally trying to bankrupt this country and it’s people, and I believe it is intentional and planned- and on top of it all they want massive carbon taxes and fines? That WILL be the straw UI believe that breaks the camel’s back- then the government, or anti-Christ will step in and ‘offer a solution’ which people can’t refuse
If you think about it, it’s not much different than how the mafia operates- make it almost impossible for the people to continue financially by stealing their money- and pretend you are doing them a favor by ‘protecting them’- I guess governments have taken their business models from the mafia-
