REVELATION 7 OFFERS A BLESSED HOPE FOR THOSE BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS WHO MISS THE PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE.

It is now late afternoon on Friday, February 27th, where I am staying overseas, which makes it early Friday morning EST in the U.S. I have only time to write one last post, and this is it. I remain convinced that we have EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE RAPTURE/SUDDEN NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION WILL TAKE PLACE ON MARCH 3, 2026!!! The post that I had planned on writing was to summarize all of the MANY signs and warnings that I have been writing about over the past several weeks.

As I woke up this morning, the Lord immediately began changing my mind. It would take me about ten hours of my time today to compile such a post. But what good would it do? Probably very little good, if any. If people on my mailing list and on Five Doves are not already convinced, and it appears that very, very few people are, I would probably be wasting my time and energy. Knowing my love for lost souls and for those born-again Christians who the Lord will not find worthy to be in the pre-Tribulation Rapture, the Lord wanted me to write something that would do the most good for the Lord's Kingdom. It quickly became an easy decision for me.

Over the past several decades, I have become more and more convinced that more born-again Christians are going to miss the pre-Tribulation Rapture, than are going to be found worthy to participate in it. This is NOT a popular position at all. It is also a minority position. But I am convinced that it is the Scriptural position. The main focus of this post will be Revelation, Chapter 7, which leaves no doubt in my mind that there will be a 2nd future Rapture, after the pre-Tribulation Rapture. I refer to it as the pre-Wrath Rapture, as do other Watchers.

Before I break down a Scriptural analysis of Revelation 7, I just want to refer you to two or three other Scriptures that also show that not all born-again Christians will be part of the pre-Tribulation Rapture. The first one is Luke 21:34--36. If you read the context, you will see that these verses were written to born-again Christians. If all Christians are going to be automatically found worthy (which is the very popular position of most pastors and Prophecy teachers), Jesus would have never told them to, "Pray that you may be found worthy to ESCAPE all these things that shall come to pass." 

The 2nd Scriptural proof of not all born-again Christians participating in the Pre-Trib Rapture is found in Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, where only the church of Philadelphia, the Faithful church, is found worthy of escaping the Tribulation. The other 6 churches are not so blessed. My Bible names the other 6 churches as follows: Loveless church, Persecuted church, Compromising church, Corrupt church, Dead church, and Lukewarm church. With these other 6 churches, the word, REPENT is found 7 times, the number of completion. 

Which Church are you a part of? UNREPENTANCE seems to be the key word for born-:again Christians who are not ready for the pre-Tribulation Rapture. The other key word is LUKEWARM. In Revelation 3:15, Jesus says, "So then, because you are LUKEWARM, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth." What else can this verse mean other than lukewarm born-again Christians are going to be thrust out into the Tribulation? It is impossible to be a HOT Christian when you are UNREPENTANT.

None of us are perfect. That is obvious. But we cannot continually commit the same habitual sins over and over again and not repent. Our blessed Lord paid too great of a price to allow LUKEWARM AND UNREPENTANT Christians to be a part of the first Rapture. Remorse is not the same as repentance. Repentance involves turning away from our habitual sins, with the help of the Holy Spirit, and turning them over to God. Sexual sins, such as pornography, are going to keep MANY born-again Christians from being a part of this first Rapture.

It is now time to attempt to Scripturally analyze Revelation 7, as this will soon (in just a few more days) become the new blessed hope for all those born-again Christians who missed this first pre-Tribulation Rapture. For that reason, it is imperative that you SAVE THIS EMAIL and also that you send this email to all of your backslidden, worldly, compromising, fence-straddling, lukewarm, and unrepentant born-again Christian family and friends. Yes, even church friends.

The heading in my Bible for Revelation 7:9--17 says, "A Multitude from THE GREAT TRIBULATION". Verse 9 says, ...A GREAT MULTITUDE which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with WHITE robes."

Verse 13 says, "Who are these arrayed in WHITE robes, and where did they come from? These are the ones WHO COME OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION AND WASHED THEIR ROBES AND MADE THEM WHITE in the blood of the Lamb." (capitalizations are mine)

Verses 15 through 17 say, "Therefore, they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. They shall neither hunger anymore; nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

"A GREAT MULTITUDE THAT NO MAN COULD NUMBER". No place in the Word of God can you find words like these to describe the first Rapture, the pre-Tribulation Rapture. In fact, Revelation 2 and 3 strongly imply that only one of the seven Churches, which are types of born-again Christians, are promised to be kept FROM, not kept THROUGH, the Tribulation. In Revelation 2:10, Jesus says, "I will keep you FROM the hour of trial, which shall come upon the whole earth, to TEST those who dwell on the earth." Those who miss the first Rapture, Jesus will be TESTING in the Tribulation. TESTING is putting it mildly.

Is Revelation 2 and 3 telling us that only one out of seven born-again Christians will be going up in the first Rapture??? We have no way of knowing, but probably the number is way less than half. Many born-again Christians can probably go to their church on the Sunday after the Rapture, and find half of the born-again Christians are there, as well as their Pastor. Maybe even well more than half.

As we see from reading these verses in Revelation 7, the vast multitude that no one could number came OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION and are now standing before God in Heaven. What a GREAT REVIVAL is going to take place during the 7-Year Tribulation!!!!!!! These are not new believers. These are born-again Christians who missed the first Rapture. They had WHITE ROBES. The only way that you receive a white robe is to become a born-again Christian. But at the time of the pre-Tribulation Rapture, their white robes had become dirty robes. Too much unrepented sin in their lives. But during the Tribulation, they realized why they had missed the first Rapture, so they washed their dirty robes, by repenting of their sins, and made them white again. 

These are not new Christians. These are born-again Christians, who were now facing extremely tough decisions in their lives. Their eternal destinies are at stake. Many of them are facing a life missing their young children and other family members who had made the first Rapture. Those who miss the pre-Tribulation Rapture will be confronted with the Antichrist and the New World Order, with their one-world government, and the Mark of the Beast system, which nobody will be able to buy or sell ANYTHING unless they take this Satanic mark on their hand or forehead. Many will starve to death. Many will have their heads chopped off. Many will be tortured. All will be confronted with either Jesus Christ, or the Antichrist. 

Will there be new Christians in this 2nd Rapture, the pre-Wrath Rapture? Yes, but probably only a few. This vast multitude that no one could number is only comprised of those born-again Christians who were not found worthy at the first Rapture. But they had white robes, which you can only receive when you are saved, or born-again. True REPENTANCE will still get you to Heaven after the first Rapture. Yes, there will still be a Blessed Hope in front of you. Revelation, Chapter 7, must now become your focus and your eternal Hope. 

Repent, do not take the Mark of the Beast, and put all of your faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Make Jesus your Lord, not just your Saviour. A lot of people in Heaven will be waiting for you. Do not let them down. What the Lord has waiting for us in Heaven is way beyond anything that our imagination could ever conceive. You MUST remember that there are only two places to spend eternity. That means forever, and ever and ever and ever. 

Focus not just on yourself, during this Tribulation, which now stands right at the doorstep, but focus on others who are having to make the choice of Jesus and Heaven forever, or the Antichrist and Hell forever. Be a part of this GREAT REVIVAL during the Tribulation. Do not let anyone take the Mark of the Beast. The Word of God teaches us that will doom a person to Hell forever.

With just a few short days now before the probable Rapture/Sudden Nuclear Destruction, the Great Game Changer for the entire world is right in front of us. Is there still time for you to repent, and make this first pre-Tribulation Rapture? Maybe. But God will be looking at your heart to see if your repentance is real, or whether it is a short-term repentance.

When is this pre-Wrath Rapture? I do not have a definite answer. My best Biblical estimate is about 6 years into the 7-Year Tribulation. Some believe that it will be at the start of the 42-month Great Tribulation. But Revelation 7 tells us that this vast multitude of repentant born-again Christians came out of the Great Tribulation. Many who teach of a pre-Wrath Rapture believe that this Rapture will take place at the end of 6 years of Tribulation, with nobody being saved for that last final year. I have been persuaded that this is probably the correct interpretation.

This may be the final post that I will ever write. My reason for writing this post is to attempt to grow God's Kingdom. I want to see people in Heaven for all of eternity who would not have made it if they had not known that Revelation, Chapter 7, gives them a 2nd Chance. The only reward that I am looking for in Heaven for attempting to grow God's eternal Kingdom, is to see people for all of eternity who would not be there without my efforts. That will be plenty of reward for me.

It is my desire to see many of you Five Doves Watchers in Heaven, and hopefully ALL of my daughters and many granddaughters and my wife and many of my church friends in Heaven. My favorite song from chapel service in my Christian Bible College was this (I sing this song every night in my prayer time):

What a day that will be

When my Jesus I shall see

When I look upon His face

The One who saved me by His grace

When He takes me by the hand

And leads me through the Promised Land

What a day, glorious day, that will be

Amen.

Even so, come Lord Jesus. I am expecting, not predicting, that March 3rd will be the day of the Rapture/Sudden Nuclear Destruction. The signs and warnings are simply amazing!

Maranatha!
