A Message To Those Who Are Left Behind After The Rapture

There will be a translation of all the indwelt Christians who believe how that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and how he was crucified for our sins,died and was buried, rose from the dead on the third day having overcome death and hell and the grave, for it was not possible that death could hold Him who was God and man. He ascended into the heavenlies makes intercession for the saints against the false accuser, the devil. He will return again to defeat the devil Lucifer and his man anti christ and the false prophet, these two shall rise out of the 10 nation kingdom that God will give to the beast, the man anti christ, the first rider of the 4 horse men of the apocalypse who will be worshiped by those left behind who hated God and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ our Lord. The seven year tribulation will occur and then Jesus Christ shall come down from heaven and defeat all the armies that will be gathered on the hills of Zion and He will throw the anti christ and the false prophet who did miracles before him to deceive all those who chose to not be under the power of God the Word, the Son Jesus Christ and therefore all they will serve the antichrist. King Jesus will defeat these armies and bring the beleiveing survivors of the 7 year tribulation into the His 1000 year millenial rule of the whole earth from Israel and the world will enjoy the best years of earths history under the God of Israel, the jewish King Jesus Christ. All biblical prophecy will be fulfilled when He rules and reigns and the Kingdom of Heaven will be on the earth. Then He will deliver the Kingdom up to God the Father, the earth will be burnt up and God will create the new heavens and the new earth and the new Jerusalem will descend from Heaven and Israel and the Sons of God will be with Christ Jesus forever. Looking for the blessed hope, even the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life and they are they which testify of Jesus Christ.

You said “search the scriptures”. i have. (And my Mom raised me Southern Baptist.)
I read your articles for years, learned from them, and found them useful. And I agree with you, about the 7 years of tribulations, etc. I only disagree, on one specific point.
(curiously, often the same people who take Genesis literally, take other passages very symbolically and loosely. ...seems a very inconsistent approach to me.)
But passages do talk specifically about the matyrs and the elect, living through the tribulations.
The chaff is gathered and burned before the good wheat is stored, not after. And many more, which people who know the Bible better than I, have quoted at length.
...only a few vague verses to support Airline pilots being “taken up” mid-flight.
Worse, the Rapture people, never consider if they are wrong, or the damage being caused, by not preparing to live through Tribulations, and doing more to fight evil NOW.
If they thought they would, they would be doing more now, to fight evils gathering now.
There are Christians being torture and killed today, around the world. (Christians like the mother of 5 in Pakistan, raped and imprisoned for “blasphemy”.) Instead of doing more, in the trenches, to help them, rapturists are gleeful they will soon be gone. It is not their problem, not their “table”...

Jesus is coming!!! And i accept His will, instead of looking for an easy out.

Ezekiel 7:19 KJV
They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

[Mark was here]

So when Jesus said it “It is finished” he was being deceptive, after all he was planning the Rapture all along.

...Most Volunteer Pet Caretakers fit this description:

* They are atheist or another non-Christian religion.
* They love animals enough to register with us even though they do not believe there will be a Rapture (or are agnostic about it).
* They are not paid, so they are not signing up simply to make a quick buck. In fact, they’ve agreed to care for the pets they rescue as their own, including being financially responsible for them.

We match Volunteer Pet Caretakers by location and the types of pets they wish to care for. Some Volunteer Pet Caretakers will care for any type of pet, while others express interest in only caring for particular animals, such as only dogs or only cats. They have agreed to seek out other Volunteer Pet Caretakers to help them with our mission if the Rapture occurs. Each Volunteer Caretaker will be given access to our database of animal shelters and other animal rescue groups so they can quickly find other animal lovers to help rescue your pets...

You are right! The “pre-trib rapture” is an American invention.
Christians need to ask themselves if their hope is in the rapture, or in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ?
Go to those scriptures that anticipate souls without number coming to Christ before He returns ONCE, and for all.

First, I did not write this article but know that is Sculpturaly sound. The LORD only can deliver this present evil world out of it's fallen state and it requires that the Wrath of God the Father be poured out on the earth for this seven year tribulation period to bring in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ on the earth, it is 7 year period of 21 judgments falling on the earth to destroy those nations and peoples who destroyed and murdered the Jewish and Christians peoples because they taught the Word of God as the literal truth it is.
The apostle to the gentiles, Paul, was the only one who received the revelation of the the translation of the body of Christ before the wrath of God falls on the earth. We are not appointed unto the wrath of God because we are saved sinners who believe God's testimony of Jesus Christ.

As the Bible states: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also (John 14:3).

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 Thessalonians 4:15-17).

Thank you!!

We all need to read this ever day to keep it in our minds what is coming..I know I try to stay close to God and know I have..I am not a Saint, but I do think I will come face to face with our Lord and Savior ..I get so sad when I see every day what is going on everything is coming into place and he will be here soon..To many hateful things are happening..

Wonderful promises from the Word of God, but they say nothing about a pre-trib rapture. For that to be true, Jesus would have to return twice, and that’s not Biblical.
Defend your position to the thousands of Christians who are subject to the worst persecutions the world has seen, right now! Where is their pre-trib rapture?

[kindred]

The Lord finished the work of blood bought salvation for the grace age Christian body of Christ on His cross where He (God the son, the sinless lamb of God)was crucified for our sins and was dead, buried and rose again from the dead unto everlasting life so that we sinners can be washed by faith in His shed blood and sealed by the Holy Spirit of God the Father.
It is finished is the salvation work that He alone could do and did, the veil of the temple was rent from the top to the bottom and from that point on believers were allowed to come to the throne of God and present their requests to the God of Israel without spilling the blood of animals which could not make the old testament believer free from the sin that so easily besets the children of men; who are born sinful as the Scriptures teach.

[bereanway]

I agree. I am not a pretribulational rapturist. That the rapture occurs cannot be honestly contested Biblically. However, we will experience the Great Tribulation which is shortened “for the sake of the elect”.

“Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short Mt 24:22

And I might add the rapture will be much, much more stunning and dramatic than the signless, any moment rapture so commonly taught today. The Church must be prepared.

[Just mythoughts]

So what event begins your 7 years of .ell? Christ said time would be shortened, how does a shortened time fit with the big escape?

[Mark was here]

Believe that Jesus died for your sins and you will have everlasting life. There is no fine print, there is no Rapture, it is simple. The Rapture is just a way to sell books. It is rather disgusting that some Christians support Israel, simply so God can kill everyone there. Don't you think?
