A Prophetic Dream of Rapture


Armin A. Wolff


(NOTICE THE DATE OF THE DREAM)


(February 15,1993)


Last night I had an extremely exciting and vivid dream-vision  
concerning the return of our LORD Jesus. I normally never remember  
anything I dream, but this was so gripping and vivid, and I have been  
thinking about it all day today. I would like to share it with you  
and hereby also have a written record.


I found myself in a meeting with a number of believers. The meeting  
hall looked like some kind of a warehouse and there were fewer than  
100 assembled. The talk seemed to center on the increasing  
persecution they were experiencing. All of a sudden Jesus appeared  
and most, but not all, were instantly transformed from mortal beings  
into Immortal. Also, at the same instant, some other Holy Ones  
appeared who had walked with God in ages past, both in New and Old  
Testament times.


All of the ones who had, in an instant of time, received their new  
bodies were able to recognize and converse with the Holy Ones from  
times past. I heard someone exclaim: "I thought You are coming in the  
clouds to take us away." The reply was: "I am coming in the clouds  
and... My reward is with Me Behold, here they are, My Holy Ones of  
all time, My faithful witnesses, those who loved not their life, and  
thus received it. They are the clouds and my reward, My reward for  
what I endured on the cross for all."


I heard another question asked of the LORD, by one of the Transformed  
Persons, whether He would now take them with Him out of the  
tribulation they were experiencing. He replied: "No, you must remain  
here for another 40 days and nights, just as I was on Earth for  
another 40 days after My resurrection and minister with Me to those  
who were not ready. After the 40 days and nights you will come with  
Me into the skies above Jerusalem and we will leave from there to  
have a celebration, a banquet in My Father's house, a feast that has  
been planned before the worlds were made."


The ones in the assembly, who had remained in their mortal bodies,  
lamented and cried to the Transformed Ones to help them, but were  
told: "It is now too late. The Bridegroom has come for us and there  
is nothing we can do for you, in this regard. However, if you will  
not love your own life, not bow to the will of the sin-man and take  
that seal of his, you will join us after the celebration. You will be  
sealed by your death and kept in the throne room for the LORD."


In what seemed a moment later, I was in another similar assembly in  
(maybe) another country. There also, the instant transformation had  
taken place of many. I was told that this same event had happened all  
over the Earth and all born again, Spirit filled followers of Jesus  
had been thus transformed, at whatever spot they happened to be in  
that instant, and were joined by many of God's Holy Ones, from the  
dawn of creation up to the present time.


Just then, some heavily armed police, or soldiers, burst into the  
meeting and proceeded to beat, shoot, and arrest the believers. A  
little blonde Transformed lady stood-up to one of the large men, and  
refused to move when told she was under arrest. Five or six huge men  
tried to drag her away, but could not move her any further than they  
could have moved an ancient redwood or oak tree. This infuriated the  
police and they started to beat her, and to start shooting their  
weapons.


The bullets went right through the Transformed Believers and made  
holes in the walls, or in some cases, struck and killed some of the  
mortals standing behind them. The blows seemed to go through also and  
have no effect whatsoever on the new resurrection bodies. The  
remaining mortals were dragged off to prison, along with some of the  
Transformed Ones who chose to go along. There was no sure way to tell  
at first glance, who was mortal and who lived in a transcendent  
resurrection body.


I was then also in a prison, and saw how the Immortals were  
comforting the anguished souls who were to be executed unless they  
denounced the name of Jesus. The guards and all governmental  
authorities were furious that they could do absolutely nothing to  
prevent the Glorified Believers from coming and going and ministering  
anywhere on Earth, wherever Jesus told them to go. No wall could hem  
them in, and no weapon, or human force, could oppose or harm them.


One of the Transformed Saints who had lived ages ago on Earth spoke:  
"Within forty days, all who refuse to accept the seal of the evil one  
will be killed and kept safe by the Father, personally, in the throne  
room. Those who give in, will suffer in the Terrible Wrath beginning  
after the last saint is murdered. This Wrath is the LORD's Last  
Effort to get rebellious mankind to repent."


At this point, I awoke and as you can imagine, was quite agitated. In  
fact, my heart rate was considerably above the normal resting level.  
The clock said 5:05am. Needless to say, I could not go back to sleep.  
Over time, I may forget the details of this dream, or vision, but one  
thing I'll never forget is the anguish, wailing, and heart-rending  
lamentations of those who had to remain here. I do not know how many  
of these chose to be killed rather than take the seal of the antichrist.


Scripture does speak of a group coming out of the Great Tribulation,  
but whether some are from those who were left behind, or not, was not  
made clear to me in this vision.
