Until further notice the messages that accompany this notice will be part of the “Come out of her my people” series. They will be harsh. They will cause people to get upset. This is as it should be. They must question the way they think and live. So, they can seek to follow Christ and not the world.
Discussion
I find it amazing how people can profess to being a True Disciple of God through Jesus Christ yet be so blind to their own nature.
Now why start off with such a statement?
I see it daily. People are all involved in their own lives. Living how they want. Do what they want. Then they sit down pick up a bible or a commentary and believe they are fellowshipping with God. Hypocrites. The lukewarm. Those that will be left behind in the soon to come rapture.
Oh there it is. The raging over and even the implication that they will be left behind. Well, I am not going into a rehash of why they could. I will however talk more about coming events.
There are three major groups that have differing views about the rapture. The pre-tribulationist, the mid-tribulationist and the post-tribulationist. There is however, a forth group: The partial-rapture tribulationist the least acknowledged or even referred to.
I will discuss the post-tribulationist first. These are the most blind to the Truth of the Word of God. For they think that all must endure the tribulation, forgetting three major factors. First what the word “tribulation” actually means. It is a punishment of all who are the enemies of God. Second, for the antichrist to be fully revealed the Holy Spirit which enables a person to be born-again and be part of the Body of Christ must be fully removed from the face of the earth. Third, it isn’t all about them. It is about God and His Son Jesus Christ, which includes His promise to the tribes of Israel.
Now to those that are of the OSAS, grace alone, faith alone, evangelical group who are the ones embracing the pre-tribulation rapture that takes ALL that call themselves “Christian.” Too bad Jesus Christ Himself totally shuts this down in this parable that comes at the end of the Olivet discourse:
Matthew 25:1-13 NKJV – “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. “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.
All who have truly studied the Word of God know without a question that the “bridesmaids” are all saved followers of Christ. Therefore, when this is said:
“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.”
This shows that there are people professing to being called “Christian” and even believe they are living truly Christian lifestyles that WILL be left behind. Why? Because in actuality they are mammon-worshippers. Hence, Jesus Christ Himself in one parable totally destroys those that believe all so-called “Christians” will be taken in a pre-tribulation rapture. In simpler terms Jesus Christ calls them a liar, which means they believe and adhere to a lie just so they can live their lives as they so desire.
Then we come to the mid-tribulationist. They too if they believe in only one rapture listen to a lie, because Jesus Christ says this:
Luke 21:34-36 NKJV – “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.”
Which is re-enforced by Jesus in Matthew when He said this during the Olivet discourse:
Matthew 24:36-51 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. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
This all shows a pre-tribulation rapture for those that are watchful. However, one of the key elements of those of the mid-tribulationist is these verses in 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.
However, as you can tell since God promised the removal of His faithful before the tribulation, then how can this be true?
Now you will note that I haven’t mentioned the partial-rapture tribulationist yet. Well partial-rapture proponents believe in multiple raptures. And if you have been noticing the Scriptures this is supported. This said. The one least know or favored is actually the most truth filled, which fits in with this statement to Daniel:
Daniel 12:4 NKJV – “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
Well, the book has been unsealed. The Truth of the Word of God not only in Daniel, but the entire Word of God is being revealed.
Therefore, those of the partial-rapture group appears to be the ones revealing the Truth. That there will be multiple raptures. Let me say that once more: There WILL be multiple raptures.
However, we must establish how many will be included and who will be included in which of the multiple raptures.
I believe one reason that so many get upset, especially in the OSAS, grace alone, faith alone crowd is that they don’t wish to face the reality that they have been living a lie. The Truth is they have been. However, we will let Jesus Christ Himself give the answer as to how many will be included in the pre-tribulation rapture.
Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV – “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
“And there are few who find it.”
The pre-tribulation rapture will be the smallest of all the raptures. As we heard earlier, the largest rapture will be the mid-tribulation rapture as shown here:
“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.”
The main reason for this one being so large is because those that will be included in this mid-tribulation rapture have the Holy Spirit within them and He must be removed to allow the antichrist to be fully revealed.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 NKJV – 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.
The Holy Spirit resides in all that are born-again as witnessed here:
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.
Now as to those that are of the post-tribulation crowd. They think that rapture shown in Daniel chapter twelve has to do with them. To those that think this I ask this question: “Are you of the Tribes of Israel?” For that is who this rapture is for. For the children of Abraham have made themselves the enemies of God and must fix their relationship with Him. Which means they must endure the wrath that will devastate the earth leaving only a few left to rebuild humanity. However, those of the tribes of Israel will be removed with this last rapture. For God made a promise to Abraham and He will keep it.
What is truly sad is how people wish to cling so strongly to the one rapture theories. They are so insistent that they turn the Word of God into a lie and that they are the ones speaking the truth. When they do this. They show who their true “god” is. It is not their Creator, but themselves. It is themselves that they worship and that is who they desire to please. They prove this by continuing to be mammon-worshippers and refusing to get rid of their earthly wealth. But, they would rather live in their blindness to the Truth.
Matthew 6:19-24 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one 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.”
So, we come to an end of another podcast. Ask yourselves. Which rapture will you be in? The one for the true and prepared loyal follower to God through Jesus Christ. Or the one where you will be considered an enemy of God. That is until you fix your relationship with Him by preaching the Truth of the Word of God and then dying a martyrs death of being beheaded. Which is it?
God Bless
