"Does anyone else have
this notion?"
Does anyone else have this notion?
In my "relationship" with the indwelt Holy Spirit I've been
given to
understand a different circumstance concerning the Rapture.
I am also aware that there are a few others that also hold to
this
notion, but am not sure of how many, as it is certainly not held
with the
majority of Rapture proponents. I also feel that this
concept may
draw a lot of criticism from those who STRONGLY believe in the
popular understanding of the Rapture sequence. The only
word of
Scripture that may support my beleif is the word"then" we who
are still alive...this could imply a period of time as well
as"instantly"
after the dead have risen. Since GOD appears to treat the
Church
and His chosen people(Jews) equally in opportunity and
judgement,
the 144,000 sealed witnesses to be sealed before the GREAT
TRBULATION begins would have an equal conterpart of Sealed
witnesses to testify and convince those not taken in the First
Rapture the TRUTH His Word. The Miracles He told of
happening
in the future have not occured yet in History. Could the
Power of the
Holy Spirit be demonstrated by Sealed Saints against the so
called
wonders done by the fallen angels as a contrast of TRUTH to the
lies of the a.c. and his bunch of demons will try to put over on
mankind? In a type as Moses did with Pharaoh and his court
magicians. Could small groups of NOW beleiving Christians
be Raptured right
up
until the time satan slays GOD's two witnesses and the
H.S. Leaves the Earth? I am making the assumption that
"hurting the earth" begins the GREAT trib. and that begins
after the two witnesses are slain and the
Church would be totally gone by then and the focus would now be
between GOD and Israel. They would have their 144,00
witnesses working on
their behalf. They would be untouchable by the demons and not be
Stung.....HE is a GOD of MERCY and would give ALL an EQUAL
chance, JEWS and the CHURCH.. this HE has stated and has
shown throughout history. This scenario of H.S.
empowered Saints
during the first half of the Trib. convincing "luke-warm"
Christians
by means witnessing and H.S. given Miracles to TRUE REPENTANCE
and H.S. INDWELLING to be "Gathered Together" to be Raptured in
small groups at places and times designated by the H.S. now in
them.
There is nothing in Scripture that would preclude this "Type" of
Rapture sequence. Please give this some thought and see if
it
"Resonates" with your Spirit and understanding.... at least
consider it.
MARANATHA!!
P.S. If these "alien abductions" we are hearing so much about
these
days are true,.....so is the RAPTURE!
