The Rapture of the Church

Well even though everyone calls it the "Rapture" nowhere is it named this in the bible.
But to make it easier to understand that is what we will call it here.
One day Jesus will return to gather up His people to be with Him in heaven.
It is in the bible, this is the NIV version which I like to use
because it is better understood by those who have trouble reading
the more formal words in the KJV. It says the same thing
only a little more easily understood by most people.


The Day and Hour Unknown

As for when it will happen, well nobody knows this but God.
In Matthew among other places in the bible is a good example.
No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven,
nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days
of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
For in the days before the flood, people were eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day
Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen
until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be
at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field;
one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be
grinding with a handmill; one will be taken and the other left.
Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
But understand this: If the owner of the house had known
at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch
and would not have let his house be broken into.
So you must also be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour
when you do not expect Him.
Matthew 24:36-44


The Coming of the Lord

"For the Lord himself will will come down from heaven,
with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel
and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left
will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And so we will be with the Lord forever."
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17


I myself am looking forward to the day He comes back,
what a glorious time that will be for those who believe!
But for those who didn't, I sure wouldn't want to be in their shoes.
The Great Tribulation will be horrific, it will last for 7 years.
And many will come to Christ within the first half of those seven years,
for there is to be a great harvest; sadly many will not believe,
and will harden their hearts towards God. And once they
recieve the mark of the beast, they are forever lost.
My one hope is that this web site will still be here before the rapture
and it will be used to bring many to Christ.
When the rapture happens man will realize what has occured,
but many will be deluded. If what I believe is true,
the Holy Spirit will leave the earth at the time of the rapture;
and from that point on, no one can be born again.
For one to be born again, they must be filled with the Holy Spirit
and if the Holy Spirit is gone from the face of the earth,
then it will be too late for them to repent. At this point
the wrath of God will be poured out upon the earth.
And I am sure glad that I am saved!
Read your bible and see that we are nearing the end times.
Alot of what is prophesied is now able to happen, where before
we were not technologically advanced enough to accomplish what was to be.
Such as when the two prophets of God will be seen by every single person on earth,
this could only be accomplished with the technology we have in place now.
And taking the mark of the beast, we could very easily be
injected with a microchip, they do it to animals all the time!
With out this mark no man can buy or sell. I am currently in
a deeper study of Revelation and will be adding to this page from time to time,
so please bear with me. I will make it a lot less random as I get it more in order.
