What is WRONG with Pre-Trib Rapture? 06/12/2023 (part 5)

If you put the spotlight on a false doctrine it will be exposed as false. We have put a spotlight on a mid tribulation rapture and it has withstood the scrutiny, there are very clearly Christians who go through the tribulation and then are caught up. The same is true at the end of the tribulation. The same is true at the beginning of the tribulation.

The tribulation is not about destroying Satan, Jesus can do that with the breath of His mouth in an instant. The tribulation is about causing people to confess, repent and be saved. It is about the harvest.

The pre tribulation rapture is good for this process just as Lazarus rising from the dead prior to Jesus entering Jerusalem triumphantly caused the whole world to go after Him. The mid tribulation saints are also good for this process because they expose Satan and the Antichrist and help others turn as well.

One point that Stan makes is that there is no rapture so that you don't have to be tested. I agree. I believe, like Stan, that all believers will have to be tested. But that includes the dead in Christ. This is like the word that Jesus spoke to Peter. We all need to take up our cross and follow Him, some will do this willingly, others will be forced to go where they don't want to go. Either way everyone must be tested.

That said there is something that Stan says that I strongly disagree with. He says that in Paul's letter to the Thessalonians when Paul says to comfort one another with these words it is not referring to the things in the Book of Revelation because they didn't know about that yet! I believe that the Bible is the word of God, He is the author, and He knew about all those things. Yes, the epistle to the Thessalonians was written to them, but it is also written to us. Paul told us that every word is good for teaching, encouragement, etc. One reason we can all see that the Bible is the word of God is that many verses written before Jesus was born of Mary were fulfilled precisely. The fact that he has to come up with this hokey explanation that these verses in Thessalonians only applied to those believers and only at that time in history is one of the poorest examples of exegesis I have seen.

"There is no escape from testing" that is true, however there is an escape, we are told repeatedly in the Bible that there is.

Let me share a testimony. I met with a large (global) "franchise" church. I call that because every meeting hall was like a franchise of one brother's ministry. Every meeting hall was also book store selling his ministry and they each had a "standing order" to buy his ministry as it came out.

I had seen something that was done that was to be condemned. However, in that church you don't condemn the leadership. That has happened before and every time they completely control the narrative, the person had "become negative", the "brothers" tried to fellowship with them but they were "divisive" and so everyone was ordered to avoid that brother and have no contact.

So on the one hand I knew I had to speak concerning what I had seen, on the other hand I knew it had to be done with much prayer and with the Lord leading every step because one misstep and I would be finished.

I am going to gloss over everything that took place over the next few years because it would make the testimony far too long. Anyway it had come to a head. Everyone (perhaps ten thousand saints) knew that I had a problem but no one knew what it was. That is crucial, they don't destroy you till they know that little fact because they need to know who else they may have to destroy. They had tried to portray me as negative (they slander you to the uttermost making it so you can't even show your face in public because of all the lies -- it didn't work with me because the Lord had already taught me how to counter that, as a result I never became "negative", never stopped attending the meetings or being fully active. What they do is all the slander is by innuendo, if you respond in any way you are guilty, yet if you don't respond you are trying to hide something. I simply ignored all of it and continued to speak and share. People were outraged, how can you speak? So they would ask me who they were referring to and I would simply say "I don't know, ask them?").

Ultimately it came down to me writing a letter, very plainly with the condemnation and who was charged. It had taken me three years to get to the point that ten thousand were asking this question. I knew when I put that letter in the mailbox that it was over for me, I would be excommunicated the same day they read the letter. I also knew that no one else would ever see that letter. They would simply tell the churches that they had discovered something and to protect the innocent they needed to keep it secret. This letter was addressed to the elders, the previous letters had been addressed to the church. However, someone made an error and assumed it was for the whole church so while the elders were in their meeting before the meeting the saints were in the hallway reading the letter they had posted on the bulletin board. But at the same time they had two blockbuster announcements they had to make that same weekend that everyone connected to judgment from God as a response to that letter. One was that the leading elder had been diagnosed the same day with terminal cancer.

I was tested, I didn't escape testing, but I did escape being terminated.

The Matthew 18 Sign & The Rapture

I am fascinated with this video, not because it might give a mathematical formula that points to the rapture in 2023 but because it talks about learning to forgive one another as the purpose of what we are going through and until we learn this lesson we will not enter the promised land.

In conclusion this is a teaching from a brother who did his Phd on the book of Revelation. So, like Stan he also has extensively studied the book of Revelation and Bible prophecy. No hokey explaining away of Thessalonians.

THE RAPTURE IS THE "HARPADZO"--DO YOU BELIEVE WHAT JESUS TAUGHT ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF THE END?


He explains why there are so many disputes over this. You can either let God's word correct your system or you can use your system to filter God's word.

If your system is everyone gets raptured before the tribulation God's word will correct that. If your system is that no one does God's word will correct that as well.

Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

The hour of trial is specific, it is referring to what is going to come upon the whole world. That eliminates all the various things that may have happened in various places throughout the church age. This is clearly and explicitly referring to what the book of Revelation is talking about, the tribulation that comes upon the whole world at the end of the age. Also this trial is to test them, all the deniers of the pre tribulation rapture point out that believers are appointed to trials. Perhaps, but the Lord specifically said that this trial they would be kept out of, by Him.

A warning to us from Nazi Germany

The hyper inflation played a crucial role in creating Hitler. It destroyed the economy but more importantly it destroyed the people’s trust in those running the country particularly the bankers. This allowed Hitler to treat all the rulers disrespectfully but especially the bankers because they were responsible for this and pretended everything was fine. Then he focused that ire on the Jews. That is a warning to us today. When the day of the Lord arrives who are they going to blame for not warning them? The Christians. After the first rapture what would you think about those who weren’t raptured? They are to blame.

The apostate church and the atheists will both be to blame after the rapture. They will treat you the same way they treated Lot in Sodom, "who are you to tell us what to do". After all if you are a Christian why weren't you raptured, and if you are an atheist don't tell me about God.

The AntiChrist will be a counterfeit Christ, the world will worship him, just like the Lord said, if someone comes in their own name, him you will receive. The antichrist is going to make it easy for all those climate change activists and Freemasons, and those involved in witchcraft and the occult and Buddhism and Islam and others to come together. They will be rabid. If you think people are acting crazy you haven't seen anything yet.

The Great Delusion is here

When will these things take place

Luke 21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

It is very clear that they are talking about the coming destruction of the temple which took place on the 9th of Av in AD 70, 40 years after this time.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

However, the Lord is likening the end of the age to this event. So what does this temple represent? It of course will be the temple where the Antichrist will set up his throne to be worshipped on the earth. I don't think it is too much to say that all the kingdoms of the earth get judged during the tribulation, not only Israel. So we are looking at a battle to see who rules the kingdoms of the earth. This takes us back to the temptation of the Lord by Satan who said all the kingdoms of the earth belonged to him. According to Paul the temple represents man, we are the temple of God, and this represents the battle over who will be enthroned in man.

31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

Jesus told them the temple would be destroyed and this leads to a discussion of the kingdom of God coming to earth. It isn't simply the temple that is being destroyed without one stone upon another but it is Satan's kingdom which will be raised to the ground and replaced with the kingdom of God.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

This has brought us full circle, judgement is coming, the destruction of the temple is a template or model from which the Lord launches a discussion on the judgement at the end of the age. The first temple was destroyed because the Jews rejected the Law of Moses, they rejected God the Father ruling and reigning. The second temple was destroyed because they rejected Jesus Christ, they rejected God the Son. The tribulation at the end of the age will take place because people reject the Holy Spirit ruling and reigning. If they had embraced God the Father ruling and reigning we would have seen the kingdom of God shining like a light on a hill out of Jerusalem. If they had accepted Jesus Christ ruling and reigning we would have seen the Kingdom of God shining like a light on a hill out of the US. This judgement and all the things that will happen during the tribulation are likened to what happened to the temple in AD 70 where not one stone was left upon another. The stones were covered with gold so they pulled apart each stone to get the gold and then tossed them off the top of the mount. After they did this the Jews were kicked out and sent packing. This is what will happen to the US which God says "has become the Great Babylon".

Immediately before these things take place some will be accounted worthy to escape and stand before the Son of man. That is the rapture. Now remember this chapter is about the destruction of the temple which took place on the 9th of Av and one day earlier was the 8th of Av, the feast of new wine, what we call Pentecost. There is nothing in this chapter about no one knowing the day or the hour, we all know very well that this judgement comes on the 9th of Av. This is the same day that Noah released the Raven and the Dove, the Raven signifying Satan flies to and fro across the face of the Earth (just like he does in the book of Job) and the dove representing the Holy Spirit is brought into the ark signifying the raptured saints who were take up off the earth. Jesus told us you don't put new wine into old wine skins or else they will burst, you put it into new wine skins. The church is the new wine skin. The Holy Spirit is the new wine and on Pentecost it was poured out into the church. At the end of the age the Holy Spirit, the restrainer, is removed and then Satan is unrestrained to cause terror on the earth. How would you remove the "new wine"? That is the rapture of the wine skins that are filled with the new wine. The Lord promised Philadelphia, the church that was filled with the new wine, that they would escape the trial that is coming on the whole earth to test them. Once again this would take place on the 8th and 9th of Av. The church age began on the day of Pentecost and when it ends we get the 70th week, when the focus of God's dispensation once again returns to Israel. The 9th of Av begins a 40 day fast and prayer time for people to prepare for the coming of the King on the Feast of Trumpets. If the church age ends on Pentecost you would have this period of time where the whole earth could repent and keep silence before God realizing this is the end of the age, confessing their sins and repenting.

PROPHECY-- IT'S TOO LATE

Micah 3:1-4 1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgement? 2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; 3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. 4 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.

My son, SHOUT TO MY CHILDREN TO REPENT - FOR NOW IT'S TOO LATE TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF MYSTERY BABYLON. THE DECREES HAVE BEEN SEALED, AND THE WORDS HAVE BEEN DECLARED BY MY SERVANTS TO A REPROBATE NATION. Just as in Jeremiah's time, the people turned a deaf ear to My prophets' warnings. Jeremiah shouted from the King down to the people - REPENT! TURN FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS! - yet they did not. The Babylonians laid siege to Jerusalem, and did the people turn? NO! IT WAS TOO LATE! My son, the siege of this nation is taking place by wicked people who do not know Me. IT'S TOO LATE now to right this nation, as even My church partakes in unrighteousness. Only those who have REPENTED and TURNED from their wicked ways have eyes to see and ears to hear. Most of My body have believed the LIES OF MAN and believe it is the truth because of the way they twist My Word. THUS SAITH THE LORD - The Earth is NOT flat. There is NO pre-tribulation rapture. I do NOT love sin. I HATE PRIDE! (When He said this, I saw a flash vision of the rainbow flag.) IT'S TOO LATE! My son, SHOUT TO MY CHILDREN TO REPENT NOW, for they have been DECEIVED to believe the LIES that this nation is a holy nation, a Godly nation, a nation that accepts ALL - NO MATTER THE SIN. I do NOT wink at sin and allow you to wallow in PRIDE! (Again, I saw a flash of the rainbow flag.) My hand is now lifted from this nation and this people. Soon you will feel the FIRE OF MY INDIGNATION. IT'S TOO LATE! as war and rebellion are at your door. The enemy I HAVE CHOSEN to destroy this nation now readies its armies. My son, corruption at the highest echelons of government will be found out - but IT'S TOO LATE! Civil rebellions will shed much blood as those who have been DECEIVED will not want change. My children, REPENT NOW! and turn to Me for safety. Do not believe all you hear. You must know My voice when I speak. You say, But I don't hear your voice. WHY NOT? I speak to ALL My children, but many do not hear Me because they walk in the FLESH - NOT the SPIRIT. REPENT NOW! My son, IT'S TOO LATE FOR THIS WORLD - BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO REPENT. Call out to Me, and I will save you. DO NOT BE CAUGHT UNAWARE, FOR NOW IS THE TIME SPOKEN OF BY JOHN, MY BELOVED. IT HAS STARTED - AND - IT'S TOO LATE TO STOP!

Welcome to the worship of the Beast

A picture has emerged

I started this blog to look at all the verses, to get a more complete picture than just looking for "when". The picture that has emerged is that judgment on the apostate church is intertwined with the rapture. The two take place together.

One way to look at it is the report from the spies who entered the good land. Two of them gave a good report and ten gave an evil report. This was intertwined and it is what we have seen over the last few years. There are those in the watchmen community giving a good report and there are many more in Christianity who are scoffing, ridiculing, and mocking. God gets angry and curses all but two of them. That sounds like the tribulation with the two witnesses. They regret their failure, ignore God and try to enter the good land anyway and get soundly defeated, that sounds like the story the Lord told about the foolish virgins who had to go and buy the oil and when they came back the door was closed and the Lord would not open to them.

Another way to look at it is when Moses came down from the mountain, saw the orgy of worship to Moloch, broke the ten commandments (the covenant) and asked who is on the Lord's side (who is the Lord's bride) and said "come up here". The Levites respond and then go through the camp running through all those who swelled up after drinking the bitter water. That sounds like the rapture (come up here) and the judgement on the apostates during the start of the tribulation.

But another way to look at it is the judgement that falls on the Great Babylon in the book of Revelation. We are told that it takes place in an hour. The first time "in a moment" is used in the Bible is when God says he will deal with the Moloch worshippers when Moses comes down from the mountain. Later that same phrase is used to describe the rapture. The term "harpazo" the word we understand as referring to the rapture means to be snatched out of the way of sudden destruction. Babylon is where they worshipped Moloch and Baal. We are seeing this worship today around the world during the Superbowl and the Grammies. The worship involves child sacrifice and we are learning that the US is the worldwide center for child sacrifice. So then it looks like this destruction of the US is the destruction of the great Babylon and it takes place at the "pre tribulation" rapture and that explains why you don't hear about the US during the tribulation.

Coincidentally the first two examples of the spies and of Moses both occurred at the same feast, the feast of new wine (8th of Av) followed by the 9th of Av (the day of the curse and the day the temple gets destroyed). We don't know the date that Samson died in the temple to Baal but when he pushed out the two pillars representing the rapture of the church the temple was destroyed. It would be fitting for that to have been the 8th and 9th of Av.

Then coincidentally, when the disciples ask Jesus about when the destruction of the temple will be (and we know it was on the 9th of Av in 70 AD) He goes into a discussion of the tribulation at the end of the age comparing and correlating the tribulation to the events that took place in 70 AD with Israel.

Current Events

1. We had a mass given by AI, I feel this is the rise of the Beast system. If you didn't realize there was an apostate church this should help open your eyes.

John 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

The purpose of these prophecies being fulfilled is not that we would fight according to the flesh, we are ambassadors of the kingdom, but that we would believe and have faith.

2. The Whitehouse and Dodger Stadium are both having disgraceful and insulting demonstrations insulting the US flag and insulting the Catholic church.

Once again I believe this is of God. He is disgusted with Christians who think that the US is a "Christian country" or that our leaders are "Christian, God fearing people" or that you can be a good Christian and also have season tickets to the local MLB team. I don't have the slightest interest in protesting these events. As far as I am concerned MLB, The Catholic Church and the Whitehouse are all dens of iniquity with a brood of vipers.

2Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

3. Transhumanism is the melding of humans and machines. Neuralink is a chip they put in your brain which connects AI to your brain. We were told in Daniel that this would happen, feet of iron mixed with clay. We were told that the Beast would rise up with some bizarre army that no one could fight against, a million soldiers all linked to AI.

13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

We don't need to be worried or anxious, just believe. Put your faith in Jesus, confess and repent of your sins, and pray that you would be found worthy to escape what is coming on the whole earth.

If anyone disagrees --

Christian nationalism is missing the mark. It is getting Christians entangled again in the pollution of the world. Is the US somehow excluded from these verses?

John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

I don't want to hear slanted histories that push one agenda or another. Let's talk about the US today. Does the US love the children of God, does the US love those who are born again and walk in the faith of Jesus Christ? We can see the hate in other countries, we see it in Canada, and Australia, and Europe, and of course the Islamic countries and the communist countries. Is the US somehow immune from this hate?

Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

Does "all the kingdoms of the world" include the US?

Luke 4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

The FreeMasons worship Satan, the reason they always have a white and black checkerboard floor is because you can be evil like Stalin or appear "good" like Roosevelt. Both can be Freemasons. This is how Satan deceives the whole world.

John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

If the US is different and they don't hate the word of God why is it forbidden to be taught in the schools? They teach religious texts from Buddhism and Islam in the US public schools, but you can't teach the Bible or you will get fired. You can't speak the name of Jesus or you will get fired. You can mention Mohammed (as long as you are respectful) and you can refer to Buddha, but not to Jesus.

John 17:25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

Do you think this excludes the US?

John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

If the Lord's kingdom is not of this world then it is not of this world, and that includes the US.

Acts 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

There is no room in this post but the US will be judged just as Babylon was judged and just as Sodom and Gomorrah were judged.

Romans 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Clearly the law condemns the US. Does anyone really think that it didn't condemn the US back in 1776 when slavery was legal or that it didn't condemn the US in the 1800s when we were killing native Americans and breaking treaties and robbing them blind? Or that it didn't condemn the US for false flag events of the last 100 years and the CIA (called the Cocaine Importing Agency by many around the world)? How about condemning the US for our multinational corporations that have created a vaccine for the whole world?

1Corinthians 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Do christians realize how offensive it is to 95% of the world to portray the US as a "christian nation"? They see the things that are done in this nation and they are far more shocked, they are not Christian and yet they would never do the things that they see on TV and in the movies.

Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

The children of disobedience describes the US, of course the US is part of the world and walks according to the prince of the power of the air.

James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

The US is filled with idol worship, the sports stadiums are cathedrals to these idols. All the logos and names of these companies are like Babylon building the tower of Babel with the name of an idol on every brick.

2Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

The US is filled with the corruption that is in the world through lust. Judge a tree by its fruits.

2Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

Be warned. Christian nationalism is simply becoming entangled in the pollutions of the world.

1John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

We are ambassadors of the Kingdom of the heavens, the things of this world are passing away and that includes the US.

1John 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

If you are a US citizen you have every right to get involved in politics if that is where the Lord leads. No one should judge if you are faithfully serving the Lord Jesus, that is between you and Him. But don't turn this into a doctrine that says all believers need to follow you. That is to be condemned.
