#13- Rapture And Tribulation Series
Contributed by William D. Brown on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: As we think on all the chaotic happenings in the world today, we can't help but realize that they are surely signs of the last days that the Bible describes. The next thing to happen on God's calendar is the rapture of the True Church, followed by t
-----
The Thessalonians had been taught by someone other than Paul that the persecution they were experiencing was a part of the Tribulation judgment and that there was no rapture for which they should hope, and so Paul is now setting the record straight too these Thessalonians.
>>3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day {day of the Lord} shall not come, except there come a falling away first, --
----
Paul said that there must come a falling away from the truths of God, and we're certainly there today, apostasy is in full bloom, but it will continue to become worse and worse with each passing day right up unto the rapture of the True Church.
I say the True Church because there are many denominations today that call themselves a church and are not really the Lords, the only True Church is made up of blood bought believers, that believe the Bible, the real bible, there's many so called books that claim to be the bible and are not.
The book of Mormon, The new world translation that the false Jehovah witnesses have, not too mentions the countless perversions.
----
>>John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. -- Not as any thing else says.
--------
* Let me quickly say, we have a Mormon running for President, he's running against a sitting Muslim, we've already seen what the Muslim does, a total disaster, we must choose between these two, to me the choice is clear.
--------
3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day {day of the Lord} shall not come, except there come a falling away first, --
-- and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; {antichrist} 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
-----
The Jews will build a place of worship in Jerusalem just after the Church has left, they will worship there as they did under the Mosaic Law, but at the midway point into the seven years the Antichrist will enter into the temple and declare himself to be God, and demand all to worship him as such.
---- 2nd thess.2:
5 Remember ye not, {Thessalonians} that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only HE who now letteth will let, until HE be taken out of the way.
---
The Holy Spirit, is allowing these things to happen all around us today and as He is taken out of the way, He takes the Church with Him, and then but not until then this WICKED man will come on the scene.
----------
8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
-----
With the speed of lighting and laser beam accuratce, they be destroyed as Jesus simple speaks the Word.
----
9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
