Most churches today believe in the "Rapture", but, is it biblical ? You see it don't matter what religious leaders believe, it matters what God says on the matter.
Many people are not familiar with the original languages of the Bible ; The word was written in Hebrew and Greek. Although the translators did the best they could, they made some mistakes.
The word "rapture" is not in the Word.
LET'S GO TO THE WORD.
THE SUBJECT HERE IS : WHERE ARE THE DEAD ?
I Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
ASLEEP = DEAD.
4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.
IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU BELIEVE CHRIST DIED AND ROSE AGAIN, SO DID THE ONES THAT DIED IN JESUS.
THEY ARE NOT IN A HOLE ON THE GROUND, THEY ARE WITH CHRIST.
4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them which are asleep.
WHY ? BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY GONE.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE ONES THAT ARE ALREADY PASSED ON ARE WITH CHRIST TO BEGIN WITH.
MAKE A NOTE OF ECCL.12:7.
4:16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God : and the dead in Christ shall rise first :
THE DEAD IN CHRIST (THE ONES WHO OVERCAME) SHALL RISE FIRST BECAUSE, THEY ARE ALREADY WITH HIM.
4:17 Then we which are alive, and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air : and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
THIS IS THE VERSE THAT MOST PEOPLE GET WRONG.
THE GREEK IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN THE ENGLISH.
THE AIR = THE BREATH OF AIR BODY IN THE GREEK (NOT SKY).
IN OTHER WORDS, THE ONES THAT HAVE PASSED ON WILL MEET THE ONES HERE, BOTH CHANGED INTO THEIR SPIRITUAL BODIES (BREATH OF AIR BODY).
MAKE A NOTE OF I COR. 15:38-52.
LET'S GO TO II THESSALONIANS 2.
II Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him,
PAUL KNEW HIS FIRST LETTER IN REGARDS OF THE SECOND COMING, MIGHT CONFUSE SOME, THEREFORE HE TRIED TO MAKE IT AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE FOR US TO UNDERSTAND.
2:2 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.
2:3 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.
CHRIST IS NOT RETURNING UNTIL THE GREAT APOSTASI HAPPENS.
WHAT IS THE GREAT APOSTASI ? THE GREAT APOSTASI IS, TO CHANGE FROM WORSHIPPING THE TRUE CHRIST TO WORSHIPPING SATAN THINKING HE IS CHRIST.
THE SON OF PERDITION = APOLLYON IN THE GREEK = SATAN IS THE ONLY ONE WHO IS SENTENCE TO PERISH (EZEKIEL 28). JUDGMENT HAS NOT HAPPENED FOR ANYONE ELSE.
2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped ; so that he as God sitteth in the Temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
MAKE A NOTE OF DANIEL 11:36-37.
THAT IS WORSHIPPED = OTHER RELIGIONS.
IN OTHER WORDS, HE PUTS HIMSELF ABOVE GOD AND ABOVE OTHER RELIGIONS.
HE WILL SIT IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD IN JERUSALEM, CLAIMING TO BE GOD.
2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things ?
2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in this time.
WATCH THE KENITES (SATAN'S OFFSPRING).
MAKE A NOTE OF JOHN 8:42-44.
2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work : only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
WHO NOW LETTETH WILL LET = HOLD FAST = KATECHO IN THE GREEK. IT IS A TRANSITIVE VERB AND AN OBJECT MUST BE SUPPLIED TOO. IF THE SUBJECT BE SATAN, THE OBJECT MUST BE HIS POSITION IN THE HEAVENLIES (EPH. 6:12), FROM WHICH HE WILL BE EJECTED BY MICHAEL (REV. 12:7-9).
THE CHURCH OR THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS NO ARTICLE. MICHAEL CONTROLS SATAN TILL HE KICKS HIM OUT OF HEAVEN.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE SUBJECT IS NOT THE CHURCH BUT SATAN.
2:8 And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth (His word), and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming :
2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish ; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
HIS ONE WORLD SYSTEM WILL DECEIVE THE WHOLE WORLD, INCLUDING MOST CHRISTIANS.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie :
IN OTHER WORDS, BECAUSE THEY RATHER BE MISLED, GOD WILL SENT THE SPIRIT OF STUPER IN THE GREEK (ROMANS 11:7-10).
THEY REFUSED TO STUDY GOD'S WORD IN DEPTH.
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A RAPTURE. WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO FOR HIM.
IF ALL CHRISTIANS LEFT, WHO WILL BE HERE FOR GOD? SATAN HAS ALL THE OTHERS.
DO NOT BELIEVE MEN'S DOCTRINES AND TRADITIONS. LISTEN TO WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY, AND CHECK OUT ALL YOUR RELIGIOUS LEADERS.
IF IT'S NOT WRITTEN, IT'S NOT TRUE.
GOD BLESS
The earth is man's inheritance which was usurped by Lucifer. The Lord will not abandon it or remove His church from it for one second. The instruction is to occupy until He returns.
ReplyDeleteFor the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, ***Occupy till I come.***
