INTRODUCTION:
A lot of people have written about Rapture, all according to what they were taught or in accordance to what they believed. But the real truth of all is that there must be a Rapture in the Future. Rapture is a message of end time which is under the topic ‘’eschatology’’. Eschatology is a derivation of two Greek words 1. ‘’Eschatos’’ meaning ‘’last things or ‘’last events’’. 2. ‘’Logos’’ meaning ‘’study’’ ‘’discourse’’ or ‘’Doctrine’’. Therefore eschatology is a branch of theology concerned with the last things or the last events which shall lead us to the second coming of Christ for the Rapture of the Church. In view of this, eschatology is viewed under four perspectives
1. Preterists which believes that there is nothing as Rapture to take place in the future.
2. Historicists which believe that Rapture must take place through history.
3. Idealists which believe that Rapture must go through patterns.
4. Futurists which believe that Rapture is a thing of the future. And in accordance with this particular view, this teaching is coming to you because we believe that Rapture is a future event.
WHAT DO WE BELIEVE?
Since we believe that Rapture is a thing of the future, what we are immediately waiting for now is not Rapture, instead we are waiting for the great tribulation, which Jesus informed us would take place before his appearance in the cloud Matt. 24:29-31. Rapture is God’s program of lifting his saints up from the earth, but some people are now thinking that God does not know what to do when God’s saints are faced with tribulation, instead that it is better that we run away before the antichrist comes into the world.
If some Pastors do not know about this topic very well, Jesus knows it well and we should take his word on this issue. They should allow those whom God called in this area to teach them on this topic or message. I would even recommend that you obtain my eBook of Rapture and study about it well. There is no scripture that indicate Rapture before the great tribulation.
Please obtain it by typing the keyword ‘’Rapture: the Past, Present and What to Expect in the Future’’ into Google and it shall be displayed to you, just follow their instructions to download the book. You can also get it from these companies
www.amazon.com
www.apple.com
www.westbowpress.com the publisher and from all bookstores worldwide. It will give you information you have never heard or known. Whose report would you believe? If Jesus said he is coming after tribulation and you don’t believe him, is it whose fault? When Jesus was teaching this topic to his apostles, he made it clear when he would come. He is coming ‘’Post trib’’ which means ‘’after the tribulation of those days’’ and not before the tribulation of those days Matt.24:29. Jesus’ teaching here was derived from what Prophet Daniel had written. Daniel said ‘’I beheld and the same horn (antichrist) made war with the saints and prevailed against them, until the ancient of days came and judgment was given to the saints of the most high’’ Dan.7:21-22.
If you don’t understand what he was saying, he said ‘’he was shown in a video how the antichrist (the horn) was making war with the members of the Church (the saints) and the antichrist was killing us’’. As he was looking to that video, and this was going on until the ancient of days which is Jesus came (for Rapture) and rescued us and judgment was given in our favour. Jesus said ‘’when you see the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place, let him that readeth understand’’ Matt. 24:15. Let me give you a little explanation of what Jesus taught in that passage. There is no other way out. You must prepare now for the great tribulation before Rapture.
WHEN ALL CHRISTIANS SHALL SEE THE ANTICHRIST STANDING IN THE HOLY PLACE, I.E INSIDE GOD’S TEMPLE WHERE HE SHOULD NOT STAND, LET ALL THAT READ THE BIBLE UNDERSTAND THAT TIME IS NO MORE REMAINING WITH US HERE. YES THE ENTRANCE OF THE ANTICHRIST INTO GOD’S TEMPLE IS AN ABOMINATION. THE ANTICRIST IS ALSO CALLED THE BEAST WITH SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS. HIS ENTRANCE INTO THE TEMPLE IS THE ABOMINATION THAT MAKETH DESOLATE ACCORDING TO DANIEL 11:12. WHEN JESUS SAID ‘’WHEN YOU SEE’’ IT MEANS WE OR THE CHURCH SHALL SEE THE ANTICHRIST. THE APOSTLES WERE OUR REPRESENTATIVES AT THAT TIME. WHAT HE TOLD THEM IS WHAT HE IS SAYING TO US NOW. ‘’POST TRIBULATION MEANS, RAPTURE AFTER THE TRIBULATION, WHILE PRE TRIBULATION MEANS RAPTURE BEFORE THE TRIBULATION’’. WHICH ONE DID JESUS TEACH IN MATT. 24:29-31?
When I confronted a Pre tribulation teacher with this question, he said ‘’the teachings of Jesus in the book of Mathew 24 were exclusively to the Jews and not to the Church. Such teaching was not taught the Church, and so we are going before the coming of the antichrist, that’s all I know’’. The worst thing is that the teachers of Pre tribulation view are not teachable. You cannot call them to reason at least what they say. If the teachings of Jesus in the book of Mathew 24 were exclusively to the Jews, where is the exclusive teaching of Rapture to the Gentiles? Jesus’ commandment to the Apostles was that they should not move away from Jerusalem until they receive power from above Acts. 1:4-8.
But when they receive the power from above, then they would start from Jerusalem to Judea, from Judea to Samaria, and from Samaria to the rest of the world, which was what happened and how they started their way till the Gospel reached the Gentiles. On the day of Pentecost the Power from heaven descended which is the Holy Spirit Acts. 2. Now tell me how this teacher would not know how the Gentiles received the Gospel he is preaching. Well I tried to convince him but I couldn’t succeed because he had already concluded that he would never change his mind even if his belief fails after all. Then shall anything save this man in the period if eventually he lives at that time? No!
NOW LET’S DEFINE ANTICHRIST:
Pre tribulation teachers and believers who believe that they would not see the great tribulation or the antichrist have problem in defining the word ‘’antichrist’’ and its application. Just ask any Pre tribulation teacher or believer to define the word antichrist and apply the word to the teaching. Hear them ‘’antichrist means the one who opposes or who is against Christ in the world’’. You say yea, now apply it, who is the Christ in the world today which he shall be against. They say ‘’antichrist is coming to punish those who did not know Christ or those who did not take him serious in their lives.
But as for those who love him, they would go before the coming of antichrist and his great tribulation’’. Do you see their knowledge? Who is the Christ in the world, is it not the Church? What is wrong in the minds of these our people? They do well in definition but misapply in application.
At this answer I took him up again and asked ‘’do you mean that the Christ in the world are those who do not take Christ serious in their lives or those who do not know him’’? He said, no. Then why the misapplication? Do you see such contradiction? But in application he said antichrist is coming against those who do not know Christ or take him serious in their lives.
They say one thing in definition and another thing in application. This is one of the reasons which shall cause ‘’their falling away first’’ according to Paul in 2Thess. 2:2-3. The Christ in the world as at today is the Church, and the antichrist is coming to oppose or to be against the Church. I said in the book of Rapture that those who are not members of the Church shall not be in tribulation. They shall enjoy all the pleasures of the period because they shall comply quickly with him in taking his mark, name and his number, very sharp.
Only the members of the Church shall be in the great tribulation and we are the ones who shall resist him and his mark, name and number. What it means is that they shall seize all our monies in the banks. Yes, when they code every product with the number 666, or with his name and mark, they would demand that everyone in the world should cue up and update to the latest world Government’s rule. We shall not agree to update our account numbers with these options of 1. The Mark of the Beast 2. The name of the Beast and 3. The number of his name which is 666. And at this point comes the Biblical word that says ‘’and that no man might buy or sell save he that has the mark, or the name of the Beast or the number of his name’’ Rev.13:17.
If anyone defines the word antichrist and gets the application, such a person shall not believe on Pre tribulation teaching. Pre tribulation says ‘’the Church shall not see the antichrist or experience the great tribulation’’. Looking at this view it seems better that the Church should not experience this awful period, but it will cause the members of the Church to fall out of faith before the actual time of Rapture. Those who do not have the correct teaching will finally fall away, saying that the word of God has failed to be true at last.
This is the reason I’m bringing the right teaching to you. This area of message was given to me to preach and to teach the Church the correct view, yet it depends on who is ready for the truth. Paul noticed that some people will not accept the love of the truth that they might be saved 2Thess.2:9-10. Once and again I ask you to obtain my eBook of Rapture, type the keyword ‘’Rapture: the Past, Present and What to Expect in the Future’’ you will have the complete knowledge of this event from the book of Genesis to Revelation.
Go to the heading in the book and see ‘’window old and new’’ and study how the ATM cards, the credit cards and all the cash cards shall be used at that time. Do you not have them or are you not making use of them now? But at that time it will be used to track you to the kingdom of Satan, except you have the correct understanding of this event.
WHAT DID PAUL TEACH THE CHURCH ON RAPTURE?
It will be great to explain that he taught the Church at Thessalonica about this event. But Pre tribulation teachers and believers do not understand Paul’s message to this Church. First he taught them not to sorrow much after their departed saints, saying that they were not lost if they were in Christ. That at his appearing he will come with a shout and with the Trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. And we who are alive then shall be changed within a twinkle of the eye to join them in the air, and so shall we be with the Lord IThess.4:16-18. I believe that after this letter Paul later went to Thessalonica and taught them on Post tribulation view. You might ask ‘’how true’’?
His second letter showed it off. Some teachers after his teaching went to the Church and taught them that Rapture had occurred and that they should not expect it. Based on this teaching the Church sent a group of people to go and search for Paul being afraid if they would see him. But when they saw him they narrated all their stories to him and he was wrought with them.
In the opening of his second letter in the second Chapter he said ‘’concerning what you wrote to me about the coming of the lord Jesus Christ and our gathering to him. Let no man deceive you by any means, whether by word or by spirit or by letter saying this letter is from us. That day shall not come, except there comes a falling away first, and that man of sin revealed, the son of perdition’’ 2Thess. 2:1-3.
INTERPRETATION:
Paul was angry with that teaching which said that Rapture had occurred already at that time. He then wrote to them that they should not allow anyone to deceive them, whether through the word. Yes some people would say that they had studied the word of God and come the conclusion that Rapture must occur before the great tribulation, it is not true. Others might say a spirit said Rapture must take place before the antichrist comes, and the Church shall not experience the great tribulation, it is not true.
This is where Pre tribulation was found because Pre trib was developed by John Nelson Darby when after he heard from a young unmarried Scottish lady who was prophesying in 1880, that Jesus told her that the Church would not enter the great tribulation. Then John was in the Bible College, and within ten years, about the year 1830, he was through drafting Pre tribulation theory. So Pre tribulation teaching is new to the scriptural teaching which was ‘’Post tribulation’’. Now Paul continued by saying, ‘’whether by letter as rom us’’. He knew that Satan might influence some people who would present a letter to the Church and say, this letter is from Paul and his company saying that Rapture must take place before the great tribulation, and that the Church would not enter the tribulation. Paul fore warned the Church and his warnings are not taken by many.
ALL THE APOSTLES TAUGHT ON POST TRIBULATION:
After teaching the Church not to allow anyone to deceive them by any means, he went ahead to give them the formula they should watch. What should help them to know the time of Rapture. Paul informed them that they should watch out when the man of sin (the Beast or antichrist) would enter into the Temple of God and claim that he is God. Before then he shall oppose all daily service pattern and sit on God’s seat 2Thess.2:4. Except you see this, there will be no Rapture.
This in effect was Jesus’ teaching when he said ‘’when you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel the prophet in Matt. 24:15. It was what wrote in 2Thess.2:4. If the Church at Thessalonica was asked by Paul to watch this formula, all Churches of Christ are to take this teaching serious all over the world. This teaching is called ‘’Post Tribulation’’ meaning ‘’immediately after the tribulation of those day’’ Matt. 24:29-31. This was Apostle Paul’s teaching to the Church.
LET’S READ FROM APOSTLE JOHN:
Little children, it is the last time, and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists, whereby we know it is the last time’’ I Jon. 1:18. Apostle John was the only man that gave him the name ‘’antichrist’’. Paul called him ‘’the man of sin’’ 2Thess.2:2-3. John said to the Church, ‘’you have heard that antichrist shall come’’. If the Church would go before the coming of antichrist, what is he coming to do? The rest of the people who are not members of Christ belong to him already, and he is not coming against them, because they are one with him. Why should the Church be informed when we shall leave before his coming? If the Church should go before the coming of antichrist, the information we are arguing upon or rather which is passed to us as the Christ is useless.
Apostle John in passing that information was warning the Church about the teaching which they had communicated to them about the man of sin (antichrist). He went further to say that even at that time there were many antichrists, and that it made them to know that it was the last time or the last days as we call it now. He said they were among them before, but had to leave in other to manifest where they actually belonged, and then they began to oppose or withstand the Apostles. With this information from John, do you not agree that all the Apostles taught on Post tribulation view in their days?
As I said earlier the Bible was concluded with this teaching, and Pre tribulation was a teaching from the 19th Century. When John Nelson Darby redrafted the teaching in the 19th Century, it was publicized by C.I. Scoffield in his reference Bible in the 1900s, which escalated the Pre tribulation theory to the world.
Now you have the right to believe what you want but you have no right to decide when your lord will come to take you up. Even if you don’t in him, he won’t do anything to you now. You are in control and in charge of your life now. But there is a time he will be in charge and he shall be over all with absolute power. That time you will cease to parade yourself and become a dull baby, and whatever he decides takes effect on you. At that time you can’t even question him. Now I’m pleading to you, know the truth and follow me to believe on Post tribulation belief. Paul said we shall go through much Persecution or tribulation to the kingdom of God Acts. 14:22.
My sites are almost teaching about end time messages because that's where I'm called to educate the Church properly about these events. But incidentally the Church has believed the wrong one before my arrival into the system. Nevertheless I must make my own input into the system.
Therefore prepare for the great tribulation before the Rapture.
God bless.
