"Do these verses warn of a false rapture event and a need to flee"
Understanding from this scripture that after the sun goes dark and the
moon does not shed its light the elect shall be gathered it also warns
not to go run here or there to Christ!
We may see the abomination of desolation right before the sixth seal
And it says stand in the holy place where it aught not! Could the abomination be something we think not? Could it be sooner.
God said His people are His temple where He resides. The Philadelphia or
faithful church. An abomination standing in the midst of His people the
faithful church or Jewish remnant could be considered an abomination
declaring itself god. We see a warning tied to this to not go to this
false Christ before the real sends his angels to gather the eject.
Just a thought!
15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of
by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:) 16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out
of his house: 18Neither let him which is in the field return back to
take his clothes. 19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them
that give suck in those days! 20But pray ye that your flight be not in
the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21For then shall be great
tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this
time, no, nor ever shall be. 22And except those days should be
shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake
those days shall be shortened. 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo,
here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false
Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25Behold, I have told you before.
26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go
not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27For
as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28For wheresoever the
carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall
fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30And
then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall
all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31And he
shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall
gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to
the other.
