Here are some articles I found online that I am sharing with you to again emphasize the point to be ready for the rapture and to not find yourself to be left behind to face the tribulation period to follow it. I do not want any to miss the rapture and so I share this because I do care for people.

Millions of People Just Disappeared??!!!!!!!!!!!! You've Missed The Rapture Of The Church, Now What?

By Geoffrey Grider — NowTheEndBegins.com

“And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.”
— John 14:29

Well, we told you it was coming. Perhaps you were a casual reader of this site, but never got really involved, “too many religious nuts” you said. Maybe you had a family member who would plead with you night after night to “get right” with Jesus before His return. “Nah, never happen”, you said, “people been saying that for ever. Nonsense!”. But, it wasn’t nonsense, was it? Turns out the religious nuts were right after all. The Rapture of the Church actually happened. Now we are gone, and you remain. Left behind. I can only imagine the shock - terror - panic - and questions that must be running through your head right now. My heart breaks for you, and that’s why I made this page, to get you through what the Bible calls the time of Jacob’s Trouble, the Great Tribulation, and it’s moments away from starting.

Are YOU ready?

Let’s begin at the beginning...



Here's what just happened.

It was the hope of every Jesus-follower, prior to the Rapture, that one day He would return and "catch away" those who loved and believed in Him. Why did we think this was going to occur? Because the Bible said so, listen:

“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: 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words”
— 1 Thessalonians 4: 16-18

And that's exactly what just happened, and where we have now gone. Oh, knowing the media as I do, I am sure that there are many attempts to explain it - UFO's, alien abductions, a harmonic convergence, a government program, FEMA camps, cosmic shift, worm holes, and the list goes on and on. But none of those explainations really satisfy you, do they? I mean, it's hundreds upon hundreds of millions of people, right? Could any one government, no matter how corrupt, really process that many people in the "blink of an eye". No, they could not. You know better than that.



In the Book of the Revelation, what happened to John in chapter 4, verses 1 & 2, is what has now happened to all of us who are gone.

“After this I looked, and, behold, a door [was] opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. Rev 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne."
— Revelation 4

Wild, isn't it? We all heard the "sound of a trumpet", and were pulled up in to the clouds to be with the Lord Jesus, Yeshua Ha'Maschiach Himself. Look at the photo above, and reread 1 Thessalonians 4 again to yourself. That is what has happen, and that is where we are. With Jesus. Take a little moment and let that really, truly, actually, wonderfully sink into your mind.

What God has declared will be so, will be so.

Why you and not me??

Now I know your next question, and you are wondering why, why...why that you got left behind and others did not. It's not fair, you exclaim! Maybe you were a church goer, maybe you are a "good, moral person" who likes to do good deeds. Maybe you were a Deacon in your church. All these things are good, but unfortunately, not nearly good enough. This is how God see you, me, all of us humans here on this earth:

“All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
— Isaiah 53:6

The Bible says that man, of and by himself, can never be and will never be “good enough” to get into the Father’s presence in Heaven. We have all sinned against a just and holy, sinless God. So why, you ask again, if it’s true that all of us are in this condition, did we go up and you stay behind?

We are gone now because we put our trust and faith in the the One, the only One who has the true power to forgive sin, and that is Yeshua Ha'Maschiach — Jesus the Messiah — who shed His blood once and for all for the forgiveness of sins. What can wash away your sin? Nothing, nothing, nothing but the blood of Jesus.

The road to Heaven starts at the old, rugged, bloody cross..."And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
— John 3:15-16

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”
—Romans 5: 8-10

And that’s why we are gone and you remain. We were not better than you in any way. You and I had equal sin that needed cleansing and forgiving. But the difference is that we repented, turned from our sins, and turned to the living Lord whose death and resurrection from the dead paid the sin debt we owed. You were left behind becuase your debt is still unpaid, but there is good news yet for you. Right now, right in front of the computer screen you are reading this on, you can have the debt for all your sins paid in full.

Ready?

You Can Be Saved--Right Now. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation”
—Romans 10: 9-10

Pray and ask the Lord, “Lord Jesus, be merciful to me a sinner, and save me. I now, with a repentant heart, receive you as my personal Savior”.

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”
— Romans 10:13

If you meant it, if you were sincere, if you now know your desperate need for a Savior and have called upon Him to pay your sin debt, according to the Scripture, then the Bible declares that your sin debt is now paid in full. Just remember that repentance is always the starting point. If you were doing things and living in a way that the Bible forbids, turn from those sins and be cleansed in His shed blood.

Now you know what has happened to us, here is what you can expect to happen on earth during the next 7 years. And it’s not going to be pretty, so be prepared. But if you just received payment for your sins, you can take comfort that no matter how bad things get, your eternal destiny is now secure.



The Great Tribulation, or the Time of Jacob's Trouble

Please watch these videos as they are an excellent overview of what has happened to those of us who have been raptured, and a good guide to what you can expect down here on earth during the time of the coming Great Tribulation.



Listen to Pastor John Hagee's powerful 2-part message on the Book of Revelation



Living for the Lord, Dying for the Truth

As you have probably figured out by now, the coming Great Tribulation is not going to be a picnic. In fact, as you can see from the left sidebar, it's going to be quite nasty. Before the Rapture, it was pretty easy for bible belivers to meet, read and discuss the Bible. But under the rule of Antichrist, it will be outlawed. The fate of a lot of believers during this time you now find yourself in will end in beheading for refusal to take the Mark of the Beast.

“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled”
— Revelation 6: 9-11

Do NOT take the Mark of the Beast

The Antichrist is going to make life very tough for you, and at soome point during this time, he will introduce a "mark" that everyone will be required to take if you want to continue buying or selling anything. While we were here on earth, we had many lively debates as to exactly what form that mark would take, but you are about to see that for yourself. The bible says that it will be associated with worship of the Antichrist. If you refuse to take this mark, as all Jesus followers will, the price you will pay will be death.



We guessed as to what exact form the Mark of the Beast will take, but you will see it for yourself — DO NOT TAKE IT.

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.”
— Revelation 13: 16-18

Under NO circumstances, for ANY reason should you accept this mark. For if you do you will be consigned to the fires of Hell for all eternity. If not taking the mark means you can't buy food, then find some other way to acquire it. If not taking the mark means spending the rest of the time of the Tribulation on the run as a fugitive, then so be it. This mark is the symbol of allegiance with the Devil himself, and EVERY one that accepts will share his fate in Hell. Click here for some more info on the Mark of the Beast.

The Judgements of God are about to be poured out on all the earth

Now read this exerpt by Dr. David Reagan on what you can expect to happen during your time left on earth for the rest of the 7 year Tribulation.

“Amid all the chaos from the Rapture, the Bible teaches that the world will turn to a dynamic leader to bring order and peace (Revelation 6:1-2). He will succeed where no other person has been able in establishing a peace treaty for Israel (Daniel 9:27). That treaty marks the official beginning of the 7 years that the Tribulation will last.

But, the world leader, known to believers in Jesus as the Antichrist, is anything but peaceful. He will plunge the planet into nuclear world war, resulting in terrible famines, pestilence and mass death. Violence, disease and starvation will be a way of life. A quarter of the world population — almost 2 billion people will die from this war (Revelation 6).

In Jerusalem, 2 men will appear and preach there for 3 1/2 years that Jesus is the Messiah the Jews have been looking for (Revelation 11:3). 144,000 Jews will call Jesus their Messiah and also preach about Him throughout the whole world. Millions will accept Jesus as their Savior - hopefully you will be one of them. But, many of those millions of believers will be killed by the Antichrist for not pledging their loyalty to him by receiving his mark on either their right hand or forehead. The persecution of believers in Jesus will be awful in the Tribulation (Daniel 7:22; Revelation 7).



Next, the greatest earthquake the world has yet experienced will devastate the planet (Revelation 6:12-14). Something falling from space will then burn up a third of all the world's vegetation. A second item from space, probably a meteor, will crash into the ocean and annihilate a third of the world's marine life and ships. A third object from space will taint the world’s water supply, poisoning millions (Revelation 8:7-11).

The devastation to the atmosphere will block out most of the sun and moonlight so that the days appear shorter (Revelation 8:12).

Next, some supernatural “woes” will befall mankind. First, the holding place for a demonic hoard is opened and millions of locust-looking demons pour out and sting people like scorpions. The pain will last 5 whole months. Second, 200 million riders on horse-creatures will burn and impale, wiping out a remaining third of the people (Revelation 9:1-19).

Three and a half years into the Tribulation will see the 2 men witnessing in Jerusalem killed, but 3 1/2 days later come back to life (Revelation 11:7-12). It will also see the Antichrist supposedly killed and appear to come back to life as well (Revelation 13:3).

And that’s just the first half of the Tribulation. As bad as the first half of the seven years is, the next half is even worse (Revelation 16).

Those who take the Antichrist’s loyalty mark on their hand or forehead will suffer from painful boils. Those who don't take the mark will be cut off from commerce and hunted down, but the Bible assures (Revelation 20:4-6) that those who take the mark have made a decision that will last forever — eternal ****ation. So, DON’T TAKE IT!

The oceans and everything in them are totally destroyed, as well as all the fresh water. The heat from the sun will become scorching. The Antichrist’s kingdom will fall into pitch darkness.” source — Dr. David Reagan



What now?

Study the Bible every day, many times per day. PRAY to God, who gives wisdom liberally. Share the Gospel with as many as you can. Make sure no one you know, saved or unsaved, takes the Mark of the Beast. They will be doomed forever to Hell if they do.

We are watching you from the balcony now, and just know that we are praying for you always during the time of the Great Tribulation. This verse speaks of us, the redeemed in Heaven, cheering you on during this time. May the Holy Spirit lead you and guide you all the Home. We will be waiting for you to arrive.

In Jesus precious Name, amen...and amen.

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Hbr 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
—Hebrews 12: 1,2

WHAT WILL YOU DO IF YOU ARE LEFT BEHIND?


(NEWSPAPER HEADLINES THE DAY AFTER THE RAPTURE)

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DISAPPEAR!!!

MASSIVE EARTHQUAKES FELT AROUND THE
WORLD--VERY HEAVY CASUALTIES!!!

RUSSIA AND HER ALLIED FORCES ARE ANNIHILATED
IN SURPRISE ATTACK ON ISRAEL!!!

OBAMA PROPOSES COMPREHENSIVE PEACE PROPOSAL
AND DISARMAMENT PROGRAM

WORLDWIDE PANIC AS STOCK MARKET COLLAPSES!!!

GLOBAL CHAOS!!!

WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?!!


VERY SOON NOW HEADLINES SUCH AS THESE WILL APPEAR IN YOUR DAILY NEWSPAPER. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT DELETE THIS EMAIL! YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE A WORD IN THIS EMAIL, BUT IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT DELETE THIS EMAIL.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS EMAIL IS TO GIVE YOU INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TO DO WHEN THESE NEWSPAPER HEADLINES BECOME A REALITY. PROPHETIC
BIBLICAL EVENTS ARE EXPLODING NOW WITH LIGHTNING-LIKE SPEED, AS
GOD PREPARES THE WORLD FOR THE SUDDEN DESTRUCTION AND THE CATACLYSMIC JUDGMENTS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION. AT THE SAME TIME, GOD IS PREPARING TO REMOVE BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH, IN WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE RAPTURE. MANY OF YOUR CHRISTIAN FRIENDS AND RELATIVES WILL BE SUDDENLY MISSING.

YOU CAN READ ABOUT THIS AWESOME END-TIME EVENT IN THE BIBLE IN 1ST THESSALONIANS 4:16--17, "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: 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."

DESPITE YOUR DOUBT AND UNBELIEF NOW, WHEN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR, AND THE HORRIBLE JUDGMENTS IN THE BOOK OF
REVELATION BEGIN TO UNFOLD BEFORE YOUR EYES, YOU ARE GOING TO NEED THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS EMAIL.

REMEMBER, SOMEONE CARED ENOUGH ABOUT YOU TO SEE THAT YOU RECEIVED THIS EMAIL, BECAUSE THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY. EVEN IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO BELIEVE THIS WARNING MESSAGE, THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS TO SAVE IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND, HERE ARE SOME SIMPLE BASIC BIBLICAL INSTRUCTIONS ON WHICH YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY MAY BE DETERMINED:

1. GET HOLD OF A BIBLE AND READ THE LAST BOOK, THE BOOK OF REVELATION. ALSO READ MATTHEW 24, LUKE 17 AND 21, MARK 13, AND 1ST AND 2ND THESSALONIANS. THIS WILL GIVE YOU A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HAS JUST HAPPENED AND WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IF YOU ASK GOD TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE READING, HE WILL DO IT.

2. RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE NOW IN WHAT THE BIBLE REFERS TO AS THE TRIBULATION PERIOD. MATTHEW 24:21 SAYS, "FOR THEN SHALL BE GREAT TRIBULATION, SUCH AS WAS NOT SINCE THE GEGINNING OF THE WORLD TO THIS TIME, NO, NOR EVER SHALL BE." ACCORDING TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION, OVER ONE-HALF OF THE POPULATION OF THE EARTH WILL PERISH DURING THIS HORRIFIC TIME OF UNPARALLELED DISASTERS.

3. A WORLD LEADER WILL EMERGE. THE BIBLE REFERS TO HIM AS THE ANTICHRIST, OR THE BEAST. READ 2ND THESS. 2 AND REVELATION 13, AND DANIEL7--9, SO THAT YOU CAN IDENTIFY HIM FOR WHAT HE REALLY IS. BEWARE, FOR HE IS NOT A MAN OF PEACE, BUT A MAN OF GREAT DECEPTION. MANY CHRISTIANS HAVE ALREADY IDENTIFIED THIS EVIL MAN, AS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!!!

THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WILL BE DECEIVED DURING THIS TIME,
BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE ONE OF THEM. 2ND THESS. SAYS, "AND FOR THIS CAUSE, GOD SHALL SEND THEM STRONG DELUSION THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE A LIE: THAT THEY ALL MIGHT BE ****ED, WHO BELIEVED NOT THE TRUTH, BUT HAD PLEASURE IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS."

4. NEVER TAKE A MARK IN YOUR RIGHT HAND OR FOREHEAD!!!
ACCORDING TO REVELATION 13:16--17, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BUY OR SELL ANYTHING WITHOUT THIS IDENTIFYING MARK ON YOUR BODY. HOWEVER, REV. 14:9--11 SAYS, "IF ANY MAN WORSHIP THE BEAST AND HIS IMAGE, AND RECEIVE HIS MARK IN HIS FOREHEAD, OR IN HIS HAND, THE SAME SHALL DRINK OF THE WINE OF THE WRATH OF GOD,...AND HE SHALL BE TORMENTED WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE...AND THE SMOKE OF THEIR TORMENT ASCENDED UP FOR EVER AND EVER: AND THEY HAVE NO REST DAY NOR NIGHT, WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST AND HIS IMAGE, AND WHOSOEVER RECEIVETH THE MARK OF HIS NAME."

WHAT AN EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING PICTURE!!! GO WITHOUT FOOD, OR SPEND ETERNITY IN HELL---WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE??? JUST LIKE YOU REJECTED CHRIST BEFORE, OF YOUR OWN FREE WILL--GOD IS STILL GIVING YOU A FREE CHOICE. WILL YOU FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST OR THE ANTICHRIST???

5. YOU MUST RECOGNIZE THAT TO BECOME A BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIAN DURING THE TRIBULATION, WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY COST YOU YOUR LIFE!!!
REVELATION 20:4 SAYS, I SAW THE SOULS OF THEM THAT WERE BEHEADED FOR THE WITNESS OF JESUS, AND FOR THE WORD OF GOD, AND WHICH HAS NOT WORSHIPPED THE BEAST, NEITHER HIS IMAGE, NEITHER HAD RECEIVED
HIS MARK UPON THEIR FOREHEADS, OR IN THEIR HANDS; AND THEY LIVED AND REIGNED WITH CHRIST A THOUSAND YEARS."

6. FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS 1 THROUGH 5 WILL STILL NOT GET YOU INTO HEAVEN. THE MOST IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION THAT THE BIBLE GIVES TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN IS THE SAME ONE THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED BEFORE THE RAPTURE HAPPENED AND THE TRIBULATION BEGAN. THAT IS, TO REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR.

THIS WORLD IS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO MISTAKENLY BELIEVE THEY ARE ON THEIR WAY TO HEAVEN. THEY ARE GREATLY DECEIVING THEMSELVES, AS THEY WILL SOON FIND OUT WHEN THE RAPTURE TAKES PLACE.

WHO WILL BE LEFT BEHIND???

1. ALL THOSE WHO ARE COUNTING ON THEIR CHURCH MEMBERSHIP, CHURCH ATTENDANCE, CHURCH AFFILIATION, OR RELIGION TO GET THEM TO HEAVEN.

2. ALL THOSE WHO ARE COUNTING ON THEIR BAPTISM TO GET THEM TO HEAVEN. BAPTISM IS AN ACT OF OBEDIENCE AFTER SALVATION.

3. ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE THAT A BELIEF IN GOD, OR FAITH IN GOD, IS ALL THEY NEED. EVEN SATAN AND ALL HIS DEMONS BELIEVE IN GOD.

4. ALL THOSE WHO ARE TRUSTING IN THEIR GOOD WORKS. EPHESIANS
2:8--9 SAYS, "FOR BY GRACE ARE YOU SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST."

5. ALL THOSE WHO HAVE TRIED TO BECOME A "CHRISTIAN", WITHOUT RECOGNIZING AND REPENTING OF THE SIN IN THEIR LIFE. ROMANS 3:23 SAYS,
"FOR ALL HAVE SINNED", AND ROMANS 6:23 SAYS, "FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH; BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD."

YOU MUST REPENT OF YOUR SIN, WHICH MEANS TO TURN AWAY FROM YOUR SIN AND TO ASK JESUS CHRIST TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND LIFE AND GIVE YOU POWER OVER THAT SIN. TRUE REPENTENCE MUST TAKE PLACE FOR YOU TO BE SAVED. CONFESSING YOUR SINS, OR FEELING REMORSEFUL FOR YOUR SINS IS NOT ENOUGH.

IF YOU ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE READ THIS EMAIL BEFORE THE RAPTURE HAS TAKEN PLACE, WHY DON'T YOU ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR LIFE NOW. THEN YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT TO DO AFTER THE RAPTURE TAKES PLACE--YOU WILL BE AMONG THOSE WHO HAVE DISAPPEARED YOURSELF!!!

JESUS SAID IN JOHN 14:6, "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE:
NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME. WON'T YOU PUT YOUR COMPLETE HOPE AND TRUST IN JESUS, AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR TODAY?

IF YOU ARE AN UNSAVED PERSON, OR A BACKSLIDDEN, WORLDLY, COMPROMISING, OR LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN, WILL YOU SAY THIS PRAYER, AND REALLY MEAN IT IN YOUR HEART:

"DEAR JESUS, I KNOW THAT I AM A SINNER. I REPENT OF MY SINS. I TURN AWAY FROM MY SIN, AND TURN MY LIFE OVER TO YOU, JESUS. I BELIEVE THAT YOU DIED ON THE CROSS FOR MY SINS. I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD, AND THAT YOU PAID THE PENALTY ON THE CROSS FOR MY SINS. I ASK YOU NOW, TO COME INTO MY HEART AND LIFE TO BE MY PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR. PREPARE MY HEART FOR YOUR SOON RETURN, SO THAT I CAN ESCAPE THE HORRIBLE JUDGMENTS THAT ARE SOON TO STRIKE THIS PLANET. JESUS, PREPARE MY HEART FOR THE RAPTURE. THANK YOU LORD, FOR SAVING ME. IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN."

I will wrap this discussion  up by giving a presentation on the rapture which I strongly urge all readers to pray to be ready for because you do not want to miss it and then have to face the seven year tribulations period which will be more terrible than any other time on the earth because you missed the rapture something you did not need to do so please call out to Jesus today so you do not miss this rapture

Rapture         

I will conclude and wrap this teaching up by saying that the way people are now(not too unlike the way they were at Noah’s time and also the time Sodom, which are things which Jesus prophesied about in scriptures in Matthew, Mark and Luke)and all the many other end times signs which are occurring currently(animals dying, food prices rising, wars, rumors of wars, crazy weather and so on) are birth pangs of the coming tribulation period and  sure signs the rapture is not far way, indeed, I still believe that the rapture could be any day at any time, of which the Heavenly Father only knows). So cheer up, your redemption is drawing closer and closer every day that passes. Also please remember that Jesus loves you more than You can possibly know, and also by posting this about the rapture, too, which does duplicate some of the scriptures, but that is for emphasis for the rapture is too important and you absolutely DO NOT want to miss it:

                                  THE RAPTURE IS IMMINENT!!! ARE YOU READY????

            I am very strongly led to believe the rapture is very imminent, and could happen any day at anytime at all. Nobody knows the exact time for the rapture but the Father God Himself. I cannot strongly enough advise all of you to get your hearts right with Jesus by asking the Holy Spirit to reveal to you if there is any Sin /iniquity/ uncleanness in your heart, mind etc and repenting of any and all items brought to your mind right away, asking the Holy Spirit to cleanse you and your garments so that they are spotless, being washed by the blood of Jesus. I am a man, needing the blood of Jesus for cleansing as much as everyone else, and believe me I am doing the same thing. This repenting is a continuous process, not just a one time thing; I have found that I myself have been repenting several times throughout the day. I know that it will be God's grace and mercy ONLY that I make the rapture, not anything I do, I am well aware of the fact that grace alone being what saves, and not works lest any should boast, but also faith without works is dead so I am sharing this with everyone, in the hopes that a few, even just one person, would wake up in time, and repent, for the remaining time here is very short.

            I post and share this document for I deeply care for people and DO NOT want anyone to miss the rapture and find themselves left behind to face the 7 year tribulations which will follow the rapture which will be pure a horrific time on earth, the most horrific ever, in fact, where you will have to hide in caves or in mountains, away from all the evil and very selfish people, be an absolute survival expert, which many are not and absolutely refuse at all costs to take the mark of the beast(666).As a result of your refusal to take this mark, you won’t be able to buy or sell anything, work, eat, live in a normal way, and so on, and most likely you’ll be killed for it, but that is far better than taking the mark and ending up in the lake of fire for eternity, as each and every man and woman  who take the mark of the beast will end up in the lake of fire, where there will be absolutely no rest from their torment night or day(Revelation 14).  Even doing all the precautions, hiding by getting away from all population centers and into the mountains, and so on may not be enough because many if not most people, in fact will not survive the judgments that God will pour out on the world in this time period, in the seal, trumpet and bowl judgments as well as the judgment and destruction of the daughter of Babylon. All these events are described in good detail in the book of Revelation in chapters 6 through 18, which I strongly advise all to read. Here is a link an excellent animated video of the entire book of revelation for you to watch

 The tribulation period of seven years absolutely will make today's evil world seem like life in paradise by comparison. I very strongly suggest reading the book of Revelation chapters 6 through 18 which tell you specifically what sort of events and judgments the world will see during this tribulation period.

Here are some rapture related scriptures:

 (1 Corinthians 15:51) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

(1 Corinthians 15:52) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

(1Thessolonians 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:

(1Thessolonians 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.

God wants to keep us from this tribulation by His love and mercy Because thou has kept the word of my patience, I ALSO WILL KEEP THEE FROM THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."  The implication of this verse is obvious:  If the end-time Christian does NOT stay close to the Lord and endure to the end, HE WILL NOT BE KEPT FROM THE TRIBULATION HOUR Revelation 3 verse 10, so it is IMPERATIVE to stay close to the Lord in these last days. 

Now I have a very special warning message to all those who are lukewarm Christians to repent of this condition and to be on fire for Jesus or Jesus will surely spit you out of the rapture(see verse 16, below) and you will go through the seven year tribulation as it says in Revelation 3 14-22. There are FAR TOO MANY are in this condition the Holy Spirit warned me this AM. There are FAR TOO MANY LAODICEANS today. Please REPENT NOW of your lukewarmness and be on fire for the Lord before it is too late and you miss the rapture as a result of your being lukewarm!! Here are the verses in Revelation chapter 3 concerning the Laodicean church:

(Revelation 3:14) And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

(Revelation 3:15) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

(Revelation 3:16) So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

(Revelation 3:17) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

(Revelation 3:18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

(Revelation 3:19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

(Revelation 3:20) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

(Revelation 3:21) To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

(Revelation 3:22) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Summarizing, you MUST all be ready for this coming rapture, AND be on FIRE for Jesus, and not be at all lukewarm but loving Jesus with ALL Your heart, mind and soul as commanded in the bible, in several places in both the old and new testaments. If in case you need to receive the Lord please pray the following prayer (backsliders can also use this prayer to repent of their sin and lukewarmness and recommit their lives, and return to their first love, Jesus. Please do so NOW before it is too late)

Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess Jesus as our Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we will be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.

Amen.

Here are 10 steps that can be of help to be ready for the soon to come rapture:

1. Make sure that you have received Jesus Christ into your life as your PERSONAL Lord and Savior(see the salvation prayer above and use it if need be).

2. Examine your own heart for any signs of backsliding, worldliness, unwatchfulness, compromising, and lukewarmness.

3. REPENT (Turn COMPLETELY away from sin and turn COMPLETELY around towards Jesus).  Sin separates you from God, even as a Christian.

4. Study end-time Biblical prophecy(Daniel 7-12, Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 17, 21, 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Thessalonians 4 and 5, other places but the  book of Revelation in particular)  until you become completely convinced that His Coming is, indeed, AT THE DOOR.  This will help keep you from temptation and sin.  JESUS IS COMING VERY SOON!!! Lord help me be absolutely convinced YOU ARE at the door!!!!!

5. Do something for the Lord.  (Passing out tracts would be a good start.)

6. Examine your priorities, lest the CARES OF THIS LIFE cause YOU to MISS THE RAPTURE, as we are so adamantly WARNED about in Luke 21, and so many other Scriptures.

7. Draw closer to God by praying, reading His Word, attending a fundamental church as often as possible, and surround yourself with a Christian atmosphere (Christian friends, books, music, radio, TV, etc.)

8. PRAY DILIGENTLY.  ASK THE LORD TO REVEAL TO YOU ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT EVEN MIGHT KEEP YOU FROM THE RAPTURE.  PRAY THAT THE LORD WOULD GIVE YOU A PEACE, IF YOU ARE READY, AND AN UNREST AND UNEASINESS IN YOUR HEART, IF YOU ARE NOT READY.

9. Listen for His voice and then STAY OPEN TO THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

10. Act upon that which the Lord is calling you to do. DO IT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

Please also pray and ask the Lord Jesus to see if you are indeed ready and to give you peace if you and If the Lord has planted even the least bit of doubt or uneasiness in your heart, will you swallow your pride and pray this prayer with me:

"Dear Lord, Thank you for preparing a WAY OF ESCAPE from the horrible Tribulation to come.  It is my sincere desire to be ready for your Soon Return, so that I can participate in the Rapture. Give me a COMPLETE PEACE IN MY HEART FROM YOU if I am, indeed, ready. Let there be no false sense of security in my heart concerning my readiness for Your Return.  Begin to reveal to me things in my life and in my heart that might keep me from the Rapture.  Show me what I need to do to BE READY and then give me the power to act upon that which you show me to do.  Draw me away from the world and closer to you every day.  Use me in whatever way you can to help others

who may not be ready for your Return.  Fill me with your peace when I am ready and fill me with YOUR POWER, for victory over sin and temptation, and for effective service for your kingdom.  In Jesus' mighty name, Amen

If, by an unfortunate chance, you are finding yourself reading this testimony after the rapture has happened, and you find that you have missed it, everything is not lost by any means, just please pray immediately to accept the Lord Jesus as savior and /or recommit your life to Him, repenting of anything  and everything that you have done that has caused you to miss the rapture, especially such things as being lukewarm and whatever else you may do during that time absolutely DO NOT TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST OR YOU WILL SPEND ETERNITY IN THE LAKE OF FIRE!!!!!(taking the mark of the beast means you are essentially married to Satan, the antichrist, the beast and false prophet,  ALL OF WHOM ARE DESTINED FOR THE LAKE OF FIRE, AS ARE ALL WHO TAKE THEIR MARK ON THEIR FOREHEAD OR HAND). IT IS NOT AT ALL FORGIVABLE TO TAKE THIS MARK- so again you must avoid taking this mark AT ALL COSTS you won’t be able to buy, sell, work, and so on, you will have to hide, living in the forest and away from civilization, face jail, torture, and be executed for refusing the mark. If you do die for refusing to take the mark of the beast, if you are Jesus’ you will go to heaven immediately as a tribulation saint and martyr spoken of in the book of revelation. I cannot strongly stress the point enough to NEVER, EVER accept the mark of the beast, no matter what!!!! It will be well worth it to lose everything and everyone in this world, including your life so as  to not have to spend all eternity in hell and the lake of fire, where again there will be never any rest on your torment day or night.
