Thanks to all the Doves who post letters.
I always look forward to the daily updates. With all the
talk about the Rapture and when it will happen, I thought I
would write a brief explanation for those out there who
think we are a bunch of kooks. It is going to happen!
Whether you believe it or not. If you already believe that
Jesus is the One and Only Begotten Son of God and accept him
as your savior, Great, see you at the Wedding Supper of the
Lamb!! If you don’t believe, you have free will. God doesn’t
force this on anyone. But these things are going to happen
whether you believe it or not. Prayerfully the Holy Spirit
will convict you and you will accept the Truth.
Here is the time line:
“Paraphrased” for the non-religious:
Let’s say for argument sake that the
rapture happens Today:
1.
10 minutes after, the world will know that
millions around the world are missing (All babies and
children under the age of accountability, and all Bible
believing Christians of every domination who believe that
Jesus is the only way to Heaven and have accepted Jesus as
their Lord and Savior)
2.
Utter chaos breaks out around the world –
Only a few will believe that Christ has come back for his
Church.
3.
Very quickly the lie will be proposed that
either the enlightened ones have ascended to the next level
of consciousness or our alien creators have returned to take
us to the next level of evolution (Watch “Ancient Aliens” on
the History Channel!!) Huge Lie! Don’t believe it…
4.
As World Governments collapse and to
bring order to the chaos – a tracking and census system will
be implemented world-wide (Obama’s health care chip in the
U.S) “Already in Play” believe it or not! Again, only a few
will recognize that this is the Mark of the Beast. Take
this mark or chip and forget about it. You just bought a
first class ticket to Hell. So avoid it.
5.
A world leader will immediately come on the
scene and speak words of peace and will calm the world. This
is the antichrist and for 3 ½ years he will lead the
World in a relatively peaceful way.
6.
Meanwhile in Heaven – The party has begun –
The Wedding Supper of the Lamb, Big Fun – I doubt we will
know or care about the chaos down below. Being in the
presence of GOD pretty much takes away the cares of our
human physical life. We will have received our new bodies
(Like Jesus after the resurrection)
7.
Back on earth – as the world reaches the
half-way point of the tribulation – The Wrath of God and the
Judgments are poured out on the World. Christians are
persecuted, tortured and put to death for their faith and
for not taking the mark. The two witnesses show up and
proclaim the Gospel and the world hates this. (Most likely
Elijah and Moses, but no really knows). After a time, they
are killed and the world rejoices and celebrates for 3 days.
But then after 3 days, the Breath of God resurrects them and
they ascend into Heaven.
8.
Meanwhile, this peaceful world leader, The
antichrist has made his intentions known and proclaims
himself as god. Denies the One True God, Jesus Christ and
The Holy Spirit. Demands to be worshiped. Rewarded if you
do, killed if you don’t.
9.
As we approach the end of the 7 year
tribulation things get worse and worse here on Earth. The
antichrist amasses a huge army and marches on Jerusalem. “He
thinks he is all that and a bag of chips”. Even after all
the judgments poured out on the earth, people still worship
this guy and curse God. Huge mistake!
Right at the end of the 7 year tribulation, Jesus descends
from Heaven with Armies of Heaven following him (The angels
and all those who were included in the rapture of the
church). We are pumped and ready to fight as Jesus leads the
way on a white horse. Don’t get too excited, the fight is
over before it really begins. Jesus speaks the word (A sword
out of his mouth) and the antichrist, the false prophet and
all their armies are destroyed. Everyone who has taken the
mark of the beast (The chip) is thrown into hell along with
the antichrist, the false prophet. Satan is thrown into a
gloomy dungeon and locked there for 1000 years.
10.
Jesus sets up his Kingdom on Earth and
brings peace to the Earth. This time of peace with Jesus
physically in Jerusalem will last for 1000 years. We will be
here as well and will be priest and governors living in the
presence of Jesus every day for 1,000 years.
11.
During this time regular humans that made it
through the tribulation will live, have families, etc. But
no one will die during this reign of Jesus. It will be a
time of peace and prosperity like no other time in all of
human history.
12.
At the end of the 1,000 years for some
reason (which I cannot comprehend), Satan is released and
goes out deceives the World. (Regular Humans without a
Glorified Body). And convinces them that they can overthrow
Jesus and take over the World. Kind of what he did when he
thought he could take over Heaven before the World was
created.
13.
As he marches toward Jerusalem with his Army
thinking that he is about to win. God The Father steps out
of Heaven and immediately destroys this army and the World
and throws Satan into hell. (Finally!)
14.
Then we have the White Throne Judgment where
everyone who was ever created is judged. God creates a New
Heaven and New Earth. God and the Lamb live with us and
creates everything new. And for countless ages to come we
will see and physically be with God and marvel at His Glory
forever.
This is just a
short very basic timeline of what is about to happen –
Study the Word of God daily. Accept Jesus as your savior,
turn your life over to him. No one on the planet deserves
the gift of eternal life in the presence of God. We are all
sinners and deserve Hell. But God in his mercy has given us
this gift because of his utter and complete Love for all of
us. God does not want anyone to perish! No matter what you
have done or what you are doing. God will forgive and forget
every sin you have committed and welcome you into his
Kingdom if you accept his Son as your Lord and Savior. It
really isn’t that complicated.
Thanks for
reading this. Hopefully it is helpful.
