Will There Be a Rapture?

 Hey friends, this is important, and I really want you to hear me. We have all heard so many different voices on this subject, the rapture doctrine (The Church being caught away, raptured up) and escape the final hour of tribulation (also known as the final hour of temptation)  

It can be daunting as well as confusing if we are not being taught truth by God’s letter. I have had many people share with me, the book of Revelation, is truly overwhelming to them, and the imagery hard to understand. This is the reason they avoid studying the book of Revelation. Many even believe, it will not be our generation that’s the final chosen generation. Also, people have been saying that for years. And it’s never happened. We must remember scripture, it may not give us the hour of the day of Christ second advent return, but it does teach us, the Church should know the season see, Luke 12:54-56. Jesus is upset, because they do not know how to interpret the present times..

Also, taught in book of Hebrews 10:25, here the word exhorts believers, to encourage one another, even as we see the day approaching! That means as we see end time scripture prophecy, being fulfilled, It’s important to pray, be on guard, dressed and ready and stay very closely focused on God and his will and his word..

Friends, our Lord fully intends for his children to understand the book of Revelation! The word Revelation itself means to reveal! Here is an encouraging scripture in Matt. 24, verse 25. In his teaching, we have a promise we would know everything beforehand. This is why it is so important to remain faithfully studying God’s word. When we need it the most it will be there to help us discern mysteries and revelations. We will know God’s will, and have help and direction.

Only God’s holy word, holds this answer to this question concerning the rapture theory. Here are important questions every believer should be asking, studying, and understanding God ‘s answer in this hour, it is spiritually so vital. 

Men’s Traditions or Word of God?  

Is it Men’s traditions, or the word of God? Will the church be raptured (caught up, gathered) to the wedding feast, in heaven with our Groom, before the tribulation, and therefore not have to endure the final hour of tribulation?  

In one of many supporting scriptures, the one we will focus on today, is found in the book of first Corinthians. Here the Lord gives us his instructions and shines his light on precisely when believers can enter the kingdom of Heaven.  

Listen carefully, friends.  “I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.” 1 Cor. 15:50 KJV 

Key Time Frame 

If we must be in spiritual bodies to enter heaven, at what time frame does God’s people, the church turn from flesh bodies into spiritual bodies, to be able to enter the kingdom? 

This spiritual body transformation is found in the book of 1 Cor. 15:52,  

“Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.” 1 Cor. 15:52 KJV 

So, our bodies will not change until the last trumpet is blown. 

This will help you in your study: 

• Seals – you know (knowledge). 
• Trumpets are blown: Time to happen- seals acted out.  
• Vials – the action is commenced! 

When is the last trumpet blown. and what does (last) trumpet mean?  (last in Greek #2078 a superlative probably from 2192 (in the sense of contiguity); farthest, final (of place or time): –ends of, last, latter end, lowest, uttermost.   

There are a total of 7 trumpets in the book of Revelation. “last” trumpet blown is the final furthest one out, which is the 7th trumpet. Just like the vials, trumpets blow in chronological order one through seven. Whereas the seals, (knowledge) are not in consecutive order. Jesus the Lamb of God opens seals (knowledge) in order of importance for our understanding and his will.

The last trumpet, or the 7th trumpet is not blown until the second advent, return of our groom, King Jesus, at the end of the tribulation, and then begins the rein of Christ in the Millennium. 

Question we Should Be Asking  

We all need to be asking ourselves, questions, especially in this latter hour. How can you enter (be raptured) into the kingdom of Heaven if you haven’t turned into a spiritual body before the tribulation? If it is not written in the holy scriptures, friends, it does not happen. 

Recap: Scripture instructs us, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom, until we turn into spiritual bodies, which again, does not occur until the last (7th) trumpet is blown, at the second advent of our Christ and at the end of the final hour of tribulation. We must Stop believing in the lies of men’s traditions, taught by false shepherds, teachers, false prophets, family and friends, with good intentions or otherwise. This is breaking my heart. I love God ‘s church. I love bride of Christ.

This is certainly food for thought! 

Fact: The word ‘rapture” cannot be found in the holy word of God. interestingly, The rapture theory never really rooted into the Church until 1828-1830, it was introduced through John Darby, and his sudden pre-tribulation rapture views and the evil utterances of a visionary woman named, Margaret MacDonald. Also, you might find it quite interesting to note, the rapture doctrine did not exist before John Darby’s sudden thoughts of a pre-tribulation rapture theory. Before this, no one had heard of a sudden secret catching away, rapture doctrine. We know by scripture, (Matt 24:30-31) the gathering of believers will certainly not be a quiet, secretive gathering to heaven, as taught by Darby, not by any means! Rather, a glorious return from heaven with angels, clouds bursting forth with power and glory announcing our glorious King, our groom, Jesus, with a loud trumpet call, his angels shall gather the elect. Our King is coming, let heaven and earth rejoice! 

The rapture theory (catching away before the tribulation) is false doctrine and unbiblical. The Church has a spiritual responsibility to be actively condemning this false doctrine. This deception is leading many people astray and liable to fall prey to Satan upon his return to this earth. Remember the man of lawlessness (Satan) is coming before the return of Christ Jesus. 2 Thes. 2:1-4. And he will look like Christ, (transformed into and angel of light, 2 Cor. 11:14) as well as his ministers of light! He’s returning looking like Christ, and in 2 Thes. 2:3-4. will show himself to be God, on the temple. In Rev.13:11 instructs he will have two horns like a lamb, he will sound like a dragon! Heads up friends, he is pretending to be the true Lamb of God! His power will include great confusion, lies, powerful deception, and amazing miracle abilities! The enemy, will lead many astray! See Rev. 12. Father, instructs us, study to show ourselves approved in the book of 2 Tim. 2.:15, this way, we will not be ashamed, because we will be correctly handling the word of truth.

The enemy, is a counterfeit, a copycat! Many will believe he is the Son of God! He will attempt to steal the souls of God’s children and overtake the power of his holy people, through deception!  See Dan. 7: 20-22. The good news, those dressed and ready, with God’s truth, will be set free and the word / Jesus will protect us! John 8:32.

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many” Matt. 24;4-5 KJV 

Apostle Paul, “Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition” 2 Thes, 2;3 KJV 

“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”  2 Corinthians 11:13-15 

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: will increase unto more ungodliness.” 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV 

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”  Hosea 4:6 KJV 

Wake Up Church!  

Here is a question, as taught in revelation 19, verse seven, The bride makes herself ready. How does the bride make herself ready, for the true second advent return of our Christ, if she doesn’t even know that she’ll be here during the tribulation, and at the return of Satan, the man of lawlessness? We have a destiny to fulfill.

Apostle Paul: Now I beech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering back unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there be a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.” 

 The absolute truth of God’s word is all that’s matters.  

Sadly, men’s traditions have been rooted in the church for a very long time. It’s only God’s truth that will set us free, John 8:32. If we do not have truth, we cannot be set free from deception that’s coming upon the kingdom of God’s people. Wake up dear church! The upcoming, falling away or apostasy (Greek # 646 feminine of the same as 647; defection from truth (properly, the state) (“apostasy”): –falling away, forsake) Will be brought with Satan, the Antichrist, upon his return, before the return of Christ. This  apostasy, or falling away, taught in 2 Thes. 2, will be a time steeped in deep dark deception, false lies, false worship. The enemy, will be very astonishing to the world! He shall be claiming peace and prosperity upon his return. He will excel in gift giving, problem solving, as the deceitful dark enemy, he truly is!

“For when they shall say peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” 1Thes. 5:3-4 KJV (destruction=destructor) Recall in Matt. 24, the Lord taught us not to be alarmed by wars and rumors of wars? Heads up, rather, pay attention when the enemy is on earth, to the deceptive call of PEACE, at a time there is NO. PEACE! (Ezk 13:4,5, 10)

Those deceived by the man of lawlessness, Satan the antichrist, son of perdition, claiming to be Christ will NOT escape, and by worshiping him, giving him their honor and allegiance, the deceived will take on the mark of the beast.  

THE GOOD NEWS! 

We still have time to get dressed and ready, fully flourishing and set free by the truth of God’s word. No one can deceive you spiritually if you’re dressed and ready for . With the seal of God in our forehead, his truth, and understanding his divine plan, promises to keep believers safe. (Ps. 91) The enemy, and his false ministers cannot touch those with the latter-day seal of truth, in their mind. Read Rev. 9:4-5 Pray with us for the body of Christ to be set free with the truth concerning the false doctrine, the rapture theory. The bride of Christ has work to do in the great upcoming harvest of God’s souls, and carrying forward the great commission, commanded by Christ Jesus, in Matt. Chapter 28. Pray with me, the unity of the body of Christ, together through Christ, the bride will be dressed and ready, for her bride groom, Jesus!

“So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭59‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Answering your Questions

I will (with help from Holy Spirit) be answering your important questions, concerning the end times. from this blog! Also, to name just a few I will be addressing some additional and very crucial questions for this hour. Such as: Christ taught his children, we are not appointed to wrath but to receive his salvation, as taught in 1 Thes. 5:9. Also, Jesus said he would keep his children from the hour of temptation coming upon this world. Rev 3:10. So how then will his children be a part of the tribulation hour?  

So, please feel free to send in your questions, I will honor your privacy and not use your name online. As always, please take everything I teach back to our Holy Spirit, for confirmation. 

Why is this so important for us to understand these scriptural truths today? Because, if we are the final generation, we must be dressed and ready, on guard and faithful  watchman on the wall. Great deception is coming. Even now we feel its darkness and evil increasing upon the earth. Even now we feel the bite of so much deception, lies and injustice. We will be steeped in lies and deception, if the truth does not set us free, before the return of the man of lawlessness, the Antichrist as taught in 2 Thes. 2:1-4  

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” John 14:27 KJV Love Jesus.
