In the mid-1800s a new debate started to occur within the scholars of the Bible. That being the word “rapture.” Many a time I have addressed this issue. Many wish to ignore it or attribute it to just being false, a false teaching. Mainly due to the creation of the word “rapture.” Most wish to adhere to one key fact in their versions of this debate. Most believe in only one occurrence of followers of Christ being taken up into the heavens to join Christ. It is this insistence that there can only be one time that people will be called into the presence of Christ actually is countered by Jesus Christ Himself.
Now I want that to sink in. Jesus Christ did make a promise to those that follow Him and remain loyal to Him. When did this happen?
Luke 21:29-36 NKJV – Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Again, from the mouth of Christ Himself:
“Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
This is Jesus Christ Himself speaking of the removal of all loyal “Christians” from the face of the earth that they may “escape all these things that will come to pass.”
That in essence is a rapture. So whoopee if the word didn’t come into existence until the 1800s. Any who deny these Words spoken by Jesus Christ Himself just denied Jesus Christ PERIOD. And their fate?
Matthew 10:33 NKJV – But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.
Therefore, ANY who say there is no rapture or raptures, if they are alive when the tribulation starts will be left behind because Christ has denied them to His Father who is in heaven.
Is this a harsh statement? Yes, it is. However, I didn’t make it. The Word of God did. You want to get mad get mad at Jesus Christ, not me for showing the Truth.
So, we see Jesus Christ saying people can be removed to not suffer. When does this suffering occur?
It is called the “tribulation.” When you actually study this word back to its original meaning, we find that the word means it is a punishment of someone’s enemies. In this case the “someone” is God and His Son Jesus Christ and any who find themselves within the time period that can be called the “tribulation” are the enemies of God PRIOD.
Therefore, any who find themselves within this time are not followers of God through Jesus Christ. Now, I will say this. Per the Word of God there will be those that repent of their sins and will become followers of God through Jesus Christ. This is shown within the book of Revelation:
Revelation 7:9-14 NKJV – After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
NOTE:
“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
“Washer their robes and made them white.” Shows an act, an action otherwise known as works.
James 2:26 NKJV – For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
How are these works accomplished during the tribulation? That is answered in the preceding chapter in the book of Revelation:
Revelation 6:9-11 NKJV – When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.
To stop being the enemy of God they must become the enemy of those on the earth and be hunted down and martyred. Then they will receive white robes.
Now, I must also state at this point that once again Jesus Christ describes events that can qualify as a rapture.
Matthew 24:36-42 NKJV – “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.
These verses you read follows these verses:
Matthew 24:32-25 NKJV – “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
Therefore, no one should question whether there is such a thing as a rapture. For when you say there isn’t you call Christ a liar.
Now. If you have been paying attention to what has been written so far you will see that I have described two events. One where those that have been loyal servants to Christ are removed before the tribulation since they are known to Christ thus not His enemy. This is reinforced in the parable of the bridesmaids or virgins.
Matthew 25:6-13 NKJV – “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
Those that go into the wedding feast have been raptured. Those that are locked out are God’s enemies and most endure the tribulation.
Those that decide not to take the mark of the beast and follow God are martyred and are given white robes as shown in Revelation 6 and 7. This is a second rapture. Which is the core of the partial rapture teaching. That the few that are ready. Only a few million globally will make the first rapture and meet Christ in the sky above with those that died before us and were called first per Thessalonians. Where we will dawn the incorruptible over the corruptible per Corinthians.
Now to those that state that all must endure the entire seven years of the tribulation again call the Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit Whose name is Jesus Christ, a lair and thus in turn Jesus Christ a lair.
For where is the temple of the Holy Spirit?
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NKJV – Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
This comes into relevance here:
2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 NKJV – And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.
This also corresponds to this:
Daniel 9:27 NKJV – Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”
Which then returns us to these verses once again:
Revelation 7:9-14 NKJV – After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
NO ONE WHO HAS THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN THEM WILL BE ON THE EARTH WHEN THE ANTICHRIST IS REVEALED!!! PERIOD!!!
“Then explain these verses from Daniel” someone shouts out.
Daniel 12:1-3 NKJV – “At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.
Oh this pre-wrath rapture that is exclusively for the tribes of Israel? Thought you said you were “Christian”? If you are “Christian.” Then they have no bearing upon you since NO Christian can be present when the antichrist is revealed. Stop being a spoiled rotten brat and accept the Truth of the Word of God. Not me. THE BIBLE! The Words inspired by the Holy Spirit whose name is Jesus Christ. The Words you are arguing against. Not me. THE BIBLE!Get that in your thick skull. You are not arguing with the person giving these Truths but the BIBLE itself. You are arguing with GOD through Jesus Christ.
Since the “midnight cry” has already occurred on September 10th, 2025 I already know you will insist that you are right and God is wrong. However, these are the words I was instructed to write to present these Truths. Therefore, once the tribulation does begin and the “alien abductions” of millions of people across the globe is causing hysteria you will remember these words and turn to Jesus Christ and repent and accept your martyrdom that is your only chance of redemption.
