Matthew 3:1-12 NKJV – In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS: ‘PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD; MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.’ ” Now John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey. Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
I started today with these verses for a reason. The other day I saw on social media one of those guys that stands up before an audience and attempts to preach the Word of God. AKA a false teacher.
What clued me in was his scare tactic in the words he spoke in this media snippet. He said that if you miss the rapture, which most will. Look at most of my past teachings to understand why I say most. However, I won’t waste my time at this moment.
Anyway, He said if you miss the rapture. Go hide in a cave.
Let’s look at that last sentence. “Go hide in a cave.”
Revelation 6:15-17 NKJV – And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
These words are spoken by those that have denied God. Denied Jesus Christ. Therefore in essence this false teacher is speaking to non-believers. He is speaking to his own kind.
Also we must understand something else about these verses. The first six seals occur before antichrist is revealed. The mentioned verses earlier occur just before the antichrist is fully revealed. He is fully revealed when?
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.”
“In the middle of the week.”
This indicates that the seventh seal is in the last half of the tribulation. The sixth seal happens just before the last rapture of the those that are Christian and are uncountable.
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.
The last rapture occurs when the light of the sun and the moon is cut in half. When the antichrist is fully revealed. Therefore any left after the middle of the tribulation are not nor ever were Christian. Therefore, sure go hide in caves…. Heathens.
Now back on point.
Why mention John the Baptist? Because this is how those that truly seek to follow Christ and find themselves here after the first rapture SHOULD start to live. In the wilderness. Living in rags preaching the True Word of God. Pointing out the false teachers that live seeking what the world esteems.
Luke 16:13-15 NKJV – “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
For clarity Mammon is defined as riches, money, possessions, property.
Simply we are to live a needs-only lifestyle and spread the word of God. This will not be extremely easy after the first rapture. For it will become extremely difficult to sell and purchase. This is due to that fact that is when people will be given the choice to accept the mark of the beast thus allow them to buy and sell or be beheaded. Much like how John the Baptist died.
Matthew 14:1-11 NKJV – At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.” For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. Because John had said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” And although he wanted to put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. But when Herod’s birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod. Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. So she, having been prompted by her mother, said, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter.” And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her. So he sent and had John beheaded in prison. And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
Since we know those that refuse to take the mark will be beheaded as witnessed by this verse:
Revelation 20:4 NKJV – And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
But why were they definitely beheaded?
“Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God.”
This is verification that those that are left after the first rapture have a defined task they must perform. They MUST preach the Word of God and insist that only through Jesus Christ can salvation be achieved.
So any that tells you to run and hide in a cave are showing who they serve and it is not the Son of God. For it is made very clear that if we truly profess to being a child of God we will willingly and proudly profess the Truth of the Word of God unto their death. Thus making them worthy of the white robes they will wear when they stand before the Throne of God.
“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.”
Once again how are they going to wash their robes and make them white? By the action, by the works of teaching the Truth about God through Jesus Christ and calling a sin a sin. This is made very clear in the wording of the sentence. As verified when looking at how it is written in the KJV:
“These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
This clearly shows that it is their actions that helps in how they wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb. As we have shown earlier it is by preaching about Jesus and the Word of God.
This further shows that those that preach of only a pre-tribulation rapture are teaching a falsehood and so label themselves as false teachers. There will be multiple raptures. The first and the smallest will be the pre-tribulation. The largest will be the second rapture and the last for those that profess to being followers of Jesus Christ. AKA Christians. True Christians. Those that do not seek to hide in caves. But proudly stand before all saying that only through Jesus Christ can salvation truly be achieved. By saying these words:
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!”
God Bless
