Discussion

Why are those of the middle of the tribulation rapture a “great multitude?”

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.

For those listening or reading there is a simple answer to this question. However, it would be a very short podcast. Plus, most need to hear or read the long answer to make them realize the Truth.

First, we need to reestablish what the word “tribulation” means. In Podcast #189 (A Study of the Word “Tribulation”) we find that this word is a punishment for those that are the enemies of God. Therefore, any who teach that “Christians” must fully endure this time are false teachers. For those that are True Disciples of Christ are removed from the face of the earth at the beginning of this time period. Otherwise known as the “Pre-tribulation rapture.”

Second, we know that the Holy Spirit is required for salvation:

John 3:5 NKJV – Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

Third, the Holy Spirit resides within those that are saved and followers of Jesus Christ:

1 Corinthians 6:19 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?

Fourth, the Holy Spirit being present in this world and within the bodies of those that are born-again is stopping the antichrist from fully being 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.

And Fifth, we know that the antichrist is fully revealed at the middle of the tribulation:

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.”

With all these Biblical facts in place we know that there will be a rapture of all that is left of any that profess to being a follower of Jesus Christ and have the Holy Spirit within them. For they must be removed as well. From this point on till the end of the tribulation NONE can be saved. Only those with a special seal of God, the 144,000 of the tribes of Israel and the two witnesses, will be present in the world with the Holy Spirit within them.

A little sidenote at this time. Understanding the words “rapture” and “resurrection.” A rapture is the removing of those loyal to God that are filled with the Holy Spirit off the face of the earth for those that profess to being “Christian.” The word “resurrection” is for those that awaken back here on earth as Jesus Christ did upon the third day. Awakening in immortal and spotless bodies for those that were loyal to God. However, in the second resurrection those that are given immortal bodies are not spotless of sin and must stand before the Great White Throne Judgement.

Now to get back on topic.

Then why is there a “great multitude” at the mid-point rapture?

It is because most that now profess to being “Christian” at this time aren’t. They are in fact God’s enemies. Corrupting people into sin and leading people into the pit of fire. For they bear no fruit for God but for themselves and their own wants and desires. For they are mammon-worshippers not Disciple of God through Jesus Christ.

James 4:1-10 NKJV – Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”? But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

John 15:1-6 NKJV – “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

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.

Now in James four it says this: “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.”

People pray and ask for mammon. They get upset if they don’t get it. Then after a time many that profess to being “Christian” start to get mammon. The jewelry and fancy clothes. They horde their money, they start to receive all for their own wants and pleasures. They seek after possessions to fill their huge houses as they drive around in their luxury vehicles. And they actually think God blessed them with it.

1 John 2:15-16 NLT – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.

You see it isn’t from God at all. This is why there will be a “great multitude” at the second rapture. For those that have made themselves enemies of God will repent. However, they will suffer. For the other enemies of God will become their enemies and hunt them down. They will suffer starvation, and they will most likely resort to black-market transactions just to get food to live. By the way. That isn’t the correct manner to win God’s forgiveness.

The correct way?

Repent and let all know you have sinned against God and then get rid of all your possessions and definitely do not take the mark of the beast.

1 Timothy 6:6-10 NKJV – Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Or has Christ said to the young rich man:

Mark 10:17-21 NKJV – Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,’ ‘DO NOT MURDER,’ ‘DO NOT STEAL,’ ‘DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER.'” And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.” Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

Let us look at the verses that follow this commandment from Jesus Christ.

Mark 10:23-31 NKJV – Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Then Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.” So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

This clearly shows that mammon-worshipers are not welcome in the kingdom of God. However, most that profess to being “Christian” are in fact not that at all, but friends of the world and thus an enemy of God and more than worthy of having to endure the tribulation.

Now the last verse we heard or read brings up a special point in this discussion therefore let us restate it:

“But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

Those that parade about in their Sunday finest in those buildings called “churches” will be last. As stated just a moment ago they will be part of the “great multitude.” Any who say with certainty that they are going to heaven, just proved they know nothing about the Truth and live in a lie. Thus, they listen to and follow Satan who is the father of all lies (John 8:44).

One thing a Ture disciple of Christ learns early on is that we must struggle daily to be a True Disciple of God through Christ.  It is not an easy path and so none know with certainty until they find themselves standing before Jesus in the skies above. Then they will know they have walked the True path of salvation and will give all glory to their Savior before them.

For those that have not walked the True path will not awaken in the sky above if they have passed unto death, but they will awaken before God. Not with palms in their hands or wearing white robes but standing before the Great White Throne Judgement.

For they have heard it time and again from the liars upon the dais. When the only time they speak the Truth is when they say: “When you stand before God on judgment day!” For they are referring to the Great White Thone Judgement and none of those that are included within the “great multitude.”

For the great multitude are part of the first resurrection and will be judges and not be judged. They will serve with Jesus Christ during His thousand-year reign (Revelation 20:4-6). Which those that are of the second resurrection will not see.

Repent NOW and quickly if you wish to be part of the pre-tribulation rapture. Downsize, then use the access worldly wealth to help those in need and spread the True Gospel. Otherwise, you will miss out on that rapture and find that you are not God’s follower but His enemy and that is why you have been left behind. Then you must strive to be part of the “great multitude” by loudly preaching the Ture Gospel and then being beheaded. All in the name of Jesus Christ.

God Bless
