HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE GREAT TRIBULATION AND RAPTURE

As soon as you perceive that the time for the tribulation and rapture may be near, please do the following in context with Matthew 24 (since we must maintain our scriptural foundation):

1. Locate the nearest mountain. (If you are in Kansas, sorry, but you are in serious trouble.) — “Let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.”

2. Make sure you have a full tank of gas so you can leave your city of residence — “Let those in the city get out.”

3. If you are temporarily out of town, think twice about returning home — “Let those in the country not enter the city.”

4. Make sure you live upstairs — “Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house.”

5. Don’t get pregnant — “How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!”

6. Pray it happens in the summer — “Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.”

7. Make sure you are a farmer that has his cloak — “Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak.”

8. Don’t attend a marriage ceremony — “And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage. . . .”

9. But most importantly, take your time machine back in history 2,000 years because Jesus said all prophecy would be fulfilled in his generation (Luke 21:22) and that it would happen while some of his contemporaries were still alive: “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.” (Matthew 24:34; see also Matthew 10:23; 16:27-28; 26:64; Revelation 1:1-3; 22:6-20)

10. To better understand what the rapture really is, see my article:

Neither is there found in Scripture a distinction between Israel and the church,

really?

explain this distinction then

Daniel 7:21 vs Matthew 16:18

\/

Daniel 7:21

“I was watching;and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them

Matthew 16:18

] And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.

\/

you still have not adressed your error...

why ?

cuz you are unteachable and stiff necked and unrepentant and dishonest intent on false teachings.

are you aware of the warning

Jas 3:1 - My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.

.?

Thank you for that link. Interesting stuff. And yes, Earth is, and will be, where God rules.

Another thing that one pastor said was something like “And when have the faithful EVER been removed from terrible circumstances? Those circumstances change, but they had to endure them. Otherwise, who would be a witness to the unbelievers, or the people that have lost hope or faith? God's plan of Salvation is that he uses us to make disciples. It's not how I would have done it - relying on sinners like me to show people God's salvation, but that is the plan. The only plan.”

Hmm, as I write that, about God using sinners - perhaps it is like Alcoholics Anonymous. The folks that have gone through it and then recovered are perhaps the best people to offer an example and encouragement to others and show them the way out of their addiction.

Not Jesus generation but the generation that witnesses Matt 24 scriptures fulfilled.
