Here is a left behind letter that my husband and I crafted. We have this letter printed out to be found in our home. It is also set up to go out through email after the rapture through a “delay send” option I have on my computer. If I'm not around to change the date, the email is set to go out. During the summer I usually had it set to send 3 days to a week out. If it is a high alert period (i.e. Jewish feast time) I reset the send date every 1-2 days. If you're interested in adding your loved ones to my email blast please let me know. I don’t know how the rapture will affect power and internet connection but I am praying for it – this is important enough to try to get the message out to those who will be left behind. God Bless.Princess
LAST DAYS SURVIVAL LETTER
Dear Friend,If you are getting this e-mail it is because we are no longer with you. We have been taken to heaven to be with our Lord Jesus Christ. You might still be in a state of shock and terrified from the events that have happened, but take hope in the message we are sending you. If you have mistakenly received this letter and the cataclysmic event that we call “the rapture” hasn’t happened, it is because there was a problem with the email server and this message was sent early; however you still need to hear this message because these events are going to occur very, very soon.
Our intent is to help give you an understanding of the things that have happened and what is to come as foretold in the Bible. Our prayer is that we are able to help you prepare your heart with the courage and faith you will need for the decisions facing you in the near future. Our prayer is that you make the right decisions that lead to eternal life and that you will not be deceived by the evil one.
What is the rapture?
“The rapture” is a term used to describe an event in the Bible where God’s people are called up to Jesus Christ and taken from Earth before the great tribulation. It describes a “catching away” of God’s people to heaven. The Bible says: “That night two people will be asleep in one bed; one will be taken, the other left. Two women will be grinding flour together at the mill; one will be taken, the other left.” (Luke 17:34-36); “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven without a shout…and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” (1 Thessalonians 2:16-17). Of course the disappearance of so many people is probably causing mass hysteria and chaos. There may be a few false theories put out regarding what has happened. Most, if not all of it, will be wrong! The people who are now missing were taken to heaven by Jesus Christ. The Lord sent out His warning that this would happen and commanded His people to watch and be ready. (Matthew 25:13)
What will happen next?
You are entering the darkest period of human history. A world ruler, called the antichrist, will come to power and he will promise to bring peace, stability and prosperity. He has or will suffer a mortal wound but will recover. There may be a period of relative peace; it may seem that things are coming together and what the antichrist is doing is working; don’t be fooled. He will enforce a one-world religion and government. He will be empowered by satan and will be aided by a powerful false prophet who will seem to perform miraculous signs and wonders. He will force the entire world to operate in a one-world economy by which anyone who wishes to buy or sell must take his “mark” in their right hand or forehead (Revelation 13:11-18). This mark will be or will include the number 666. This mark will represent allegiance to and trust in this man and his system for sustenance. It will also be regarded as an act of worship to acknowledge him as God. Nearly everyone who refuses to accept his mark and refuses to worship him will be persecuted, hunted down, tortured and brutally murdered.
What are my choices? You have 2 choices at this point:
Option #1: When it becomes mandatory that all people take the “mark of the beast” you can take the mark and worship the antichrist / idol and you will not be persecuted and you may even prosper like never before. However, the Bible warns that anyone who willingly takes the mark and worships the antichrist and/or his image will be cast into a lake of fire forever; there will be no forgiveness (Revelation 14:11).
Option #2: Your other choice is to resist the antichrist by not worshiping him and not willingly accepting his mark on your hand or forehead and face the likely persecution, torture and death. However before you do anything, the most important thing you can do right now is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior (also see “What should I do?”).
How long will this last?
The good news is that this period of time called “the great tribulation” won’t last long. Only 3.5 to 7 years and it is possible that the time will be “cut short”. After this tribulation, wrath and judgment, the Lord will visibly return to the earth in ALL His glory, with His angels and saints and will completely annihilate the antichrist and his armies (Revelation 19:11-21). After that, the Lord Jesus will establish God’s kingdom on Earth for 1000 years. If you persevere and are faithful to the end, even unto death, you too will be resurrected and partake in God’s coming kingdom.
What should I do?
1. If you are an unbeliever or believe in a religion other than Biblical Christianity: Realize that you are a sinner and that your sin separates you from God. God wants you to be reconciled to Him but there is nothing you can do to make yourself good enough to be accepted by God, who is perfect and holy. Only Jesus (God – the Son) was perfect; and through His death, He took your place, and paid the price for your sins so that you could receive eternal life and salvation from the judgment you deserve. Admit you are a sinner, turn from your sins and ask Jesus to forgive you and receive Him as your Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9-10). If you belong to a religion that teaches any other “gospel”, you believe in a lie! There is NO religion, church, or prophet who can save you – ONLY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. And only the Judeo-Christian Bible is the Word of God to this world. You must renounce all other beliefs, “bibles” and “paths to God” and accept this one true gospel. You were left behind because you did not accept Jesus’ true message of salvation. This is your final warning and your last chance. “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved”! (Acts 4:12)
2. If you are a Christian and were left behind: You were lukewarm and/or disobedient and living in some type of sin before God. The Bible teaches that without holiness, no one can see the Lord. You cannot be a true Christian merely by the words of your mouth, you must live in purity and obedience to God’s word. And God has allowed us to let you know that, even though you missed the rapture, there is still hope for you. You need to repent of all your sins and decide that you’re not going to compromise anymore. This includes bitterness, gossip, lying, pride, lust, laziness, idolatry, hypocrisy, unbelief, dishonesty, cheating, vows & debts treated flippantly, etc. This is your last chance to get right. God is not mocked; sinful and disobedient Christians will have no share in the Kingdom of God. (Matthew 25:26-30)
3. Listen: Do not worship the antichrist and/or his idol. He will offer peace that seems to come to pass. He and his false prophet will have the power to deceive the entire world. He will be able to perform “so-called” miracles to deceive, even God’s people, if possible. He will persecute all who refuse to worship him. You will have to stand firm in your commitment to God. God will severely punish all who worship the antichrist; there will be no forgiveness.
4. Listen: Do not willingly take the mark – at all costs, even unto death. The antichrist will make it mandatory that the only way to buy and sell anything will be by taking his mark on the forehead or right hand. The Bible can be interpreted that, although pressured and threatened, you will have a choice to accept or refuse this mark. The Bible teaches that those who refuse will likely be martyred. The Bible can also be interpreted that the mark could be physically forced upon you against your will. There could be a difference between “having the mark” and “receiving the mark” as a matter of the heart. If the mark is forced on you against your will, remove it if you can; you MUST refuse to accept any benefits associated with having the mark and you MUST refuse to worship the antichrist and/or his idol. “Do not fear those who can kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him (GOD) who, after He has killed, has the power to cast into hell.” (Luke 12:5). You will pay a high price for your faith. It will not be easy but it will be worth whatever you must endure and sacrifice. Revelation 20:4 says: “Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast, or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. AND THEY LIVED AND REIGNED WITH CHRIST FOR A THOUSAND YEARS”!!! (Emphasis mine).
No amount of suffering can compare to your heavenly reward; it is temporary. Take heart and remember that Jesus suffered and was brutally killed for you. This enemy will soon be punished!
Ask God to forgive you; accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and He will receive you. Worship God and read your Bible everyday; listen to and study anything that teaches the truth about Jesus and the Word of God. Pray and trust God to give you strength and provide for your needs, even if you have to struggle or go hungry for a while. Carefully network with other believers and warn others as well. Pass this message on! Remember that the beast’s days are numbered! He will soon be destroyed by the coming of the Lord and cast into the lake of fire forever!!! Each day brings you closer to the glorious coming of the Lord and you will receive a great reward!
If you are reading this shortly after the rapture, quickly do what you can to honestly get as much reserves of food, WATER and clothing as you can for you and your family before everyone is forced to take the mark. Learn to live as naturally as possible without relying on the world system and consume conservatively; lay low. Get seeds for food. There are plenty of things that are edible from the earth that you don’t have to buy at the store. Other things to stock up on will be medications, batteries, artificial light, rubbing alcohol, bleach, weapons, water purification drops, wipes, camping supplies, blankets, matches, can goods w/ can opener, and the like. If you find homes that are completely abandoned due to the rapture, you have permission to take what’s left; it’s yours. You may want to try to find a hiding place, like an underground fall out shelter or cave, away from urban areas if you can. However, no place may be “safe” from war, attacks, disease, nuclear radiation, wild animals, bad weather, etc. If you have children to care for our prayers are with you; don’t worry about putting them back in school – teach them about the days you’re in, about faith in Jesus Christ and their heavenly home. If your children are missing with the rapture, they are safe with us; the Lord took them. Be thankful and realize that you will be able to see them again in God’s kingdom.
As we write this letter, our hearts and prayers go out to all who may be reading this letter during the tribulation. We wish you would have heeded God’s messages and warnings ahead of time to escape this “hour of trial”. However, being a martyr may be your escape and you will never be hurt by anything again (suicide, by the way, is a sin). As a tribulation saint, we look forward to seeing you in heaven and receiving you with a hero’s welcome. You are not alone.
