WASHINGTON, Penn., Sept. 5, 2023 /Christian
Newswire/ -- The following is submitted by Dan Corner of Evangelical
Outreach:
According to some pre-trib rapture teachers, the
long-awaited rapture will occur in just a few weeks. Well-known Calvary
Chapel pastor,
JD
Farag, has stated that on September 25 he will not be 'available.' On
the 25th, however, he will join his deceased predecessor -
Calvary Chapel founder, Chuck Smith, in making a false prediction of the
rapture. Of course, Farag and others like him, cannot prove from scripture
any such date. It is impossible for the rapture to occur on that date, in
light of the following scriptures.
The saints are rescued from the wrath to come (1 Thess. 1:10), but that
wrath doesn't arrive until Seal 6 (Rev. 6:16,17), which is also shown to be
Trumpet 7 (Rev. 11:18) - the "last trumpet," as mentioned in 1 Cor.
15:51,52.
Immediately preceding the arrival of God's wrath is a major cosmic change in
the way we view the sun, moon and stars (Rev. 6:12,13), which Jesus also
spoke of, and at the same time, cited the TIMING of the rapture in
relationship to the tribulation:
"But in those days, following that distress [or TRIBULATION - KJV], the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. AT THAT TIME men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And he will send his angels and GATHER his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens." (Mark 13:24-27)
That event is not Jesus' return 'with' the saints to the
Mt. of Olives (Rev. 19), but instead it is the "gathering" of the saints (or
the elect) from earth to heaven - his glorious coming 'for' the saints, the
rapture (1 Thess. 4:16,17; 1 Cor. 15:51,52; 2 Thess. 2:1-3). Again, the
rapture timing is clearly stated in Mk. 13:24-27 as occurring
POST tribulation, which means THE RAPTURE WILL HAPPEN BETWEEN REV.
6:12,13 AND REV. 6:16,17 (at the 6th seal). That also means there absolutely
can NOT be any rapture beforehand to spare us from the first 5 seals. This
is our
test.
It is also very important to know the Great Tribulation is the fury or wrath
of the devil (Rev. 12:12), and not God's wrath. No scripture states the
tribulation is the wrath of God.
Christians will go through the entire tribulation. The
pre-trib rapture teachers have confused and twisted these details in
order to promote their teaching.
Furthermore, nothing in
the Bible states that the tribulation period will last 7 years as many
popular, pre-trib rapture best-selling books and
movies claim; the only 7 years we see is in Daniel, and that 7 year
period was referring to the length of a treaty for animal sacrifices.
Problematically, people assume that such an event - such a treaty - would
surely be covered by the news. Know that the "news" is not really the news.
Deceit is prospering (Dan. 8:25).
Besides the many past pre-trib rapture false predictions being a false hope,
thereby bringing more discouragement to the saints,
the greatest danger is – its denial that the saints will still be here
to see the arrival of the "mark
of the beast" (Rev. 13:16,17). That fact means the proponents of such
will not be looking for the mark of the beast and, consequently, will be
wide-open to receive it in a subtle form in order to continue to buy or
sell.
Note: the coming
microneedle patch vaccine will place an invisible-to-the-naked eye, but
scannable quantum dot tattoo on the hand, at the same time as the
vaccine! Now, how do biometrics – scanning of iris, face and palm for ID and
internet, banking and services access, tie in to the mark? Such is
uncertain, but is awfully close for comfort, and we can see that digital ID,
central bank digital currency (CBDC) and vaccines are merging together. What
other technology do they have that we don't know about?
Moreover, very few seem to know that in March 2020
animal sacrifices in Jerusalem stopped and when that unpublicized event
occurred, Bill Gates' authority was revealed to the whole world when he
pontificated that 7 billion will have to be vaccinated to go back to normal.
Such past events reveal how close the mark of the beast actually is and the
extreme danger in eternal tormenting fire for all who receive it, even the
saints (Rev. 14:9-12). (BTW, the "red heifer" news is a distraction and
the RFID chip is old technology.)
In
Jesus' teaching of the 10 virgins (Mt. 25:1-13), 5 are foolish because
they didn't bring extra oil for their burning lamps. Perhaps, they didn't
think they would need it. There, Jesus taught his arrival will be late and
at the midnight hour (the darkest time of the night). Could it be that the
Lord gave that teaching about the foolish virgins, in part, because of what
will happen to the pre-trib rapture proponents, who will not be ready for
what is coming and, as a consequence, not continue (and fall away)?
Certainly, multiple millions are endangered by the pre-trib rapture myth,
but at least you (the readers) have been warned. Will you, in turn, warn
others?
