IS THE RAPTURE WRONG ?
VATICAN STATEMENT on HOLY SITES
Watching the response of No-Rapture individuals bears a striking resemblance to watching Secular Evolutionists believe that their greatest moment of triumph has arrived.
The Secular Evolutionist reads a newspaper and finally believes he has achieved his greatest moment:
A newspaper article that describes what can only be, a new species that is a mixture of two separate species.
"THAT - surely THAT will convince those creationists that evolution MUST be a fact. The science is IN, the verdict is in,
nothing more needs to be added".
The Creationist pauses and waits. Its a bit of a challenge to know how to react. After all, the evolutionist has been programmed by his professors to believe in the mantra that there is "WAR" between science and religion.
The Idea that Christians could ALSO be evolutionists did not occur to him.
The idea that Christians could ALSO be scientists did not occur to him.
The idea that EVEN IF Evolution were a fact (instead of a Hoax perpetrated by the Elites upon the masses), that this FACT of EVOLUTION would change absolutely NOTHING about the Bible, the inspiration of the Bible, the truth of the Bilble or the Accuracy of the Bible.
The Bible would still be true. Nothing would have changed. God would still be in Heaven, people would still be dying. And after death people would either find themselves in a happy place or in an unhappy place.
As the saying goes, After Death, EVERYONE is a believer.
But the Evolutionist will not have studied the personal life of the Christian Isaac Newton or Robert Boyle, or many of the other leaders in their scientific fields, who not only were scientists, but who studied science knowing that Science is the EVIDENCE of GOD.
The Doctrine/Concept of the RAPTURE, is pretty much in the same place as the Evolutionist/Creationist debates.
--------
IF the Rapture were a False doctrine,
IF the Rapture were proven to be wrong,
What would change ?
What would that change ?
What would that change about the End of the World ?
What would that change about the time-frame in which God is operating ?
What would that change about the REST of PROPHECY and the events that have been predicted ?
What would that change about the Middle East ?
What would that change about Jerusalem ?
What would that change about Europe and the Seven (7) year Treaty that is going to be signed by a False Man of Peace ?
What would that change about whether or not all of us are likely to have to make the personal decision about whether or not
to take an economic mark of servitude and loyalty, on your right hand or forehead ?
Some people may have not noticed, but the END times as described in Revelation are a period of STARVATION and FAMINE (or near-Famine).
The First thing that the Rapture would change is that Millions of Humans who otherwise would have been raptured, will now be STILL on planet Earth competing for Food and Resources.
(Of course, most of them will still be contributing to their economies through their jobs).
The Bible predicts 4 (Four) power blocks at the End of the Age:
1. Europe (not technically the nations of the EU, but a 10 nation confederacy within Europe)
2. China
3. An alliance of Islamic Nations
4. China (Kings of the East)
Now if the Rapture is NOT true, will ANY of those 4 power blocks NOT be in power ?
Scholars have noted that the United States is NOT a factor in Global politics or in Economic Power during the time
period of the Tribulation.
IF the United States completes its merger into the North American Union (and it is moving much more rapidly than most people have any idea), the USA will cease to exist. Its laws will stop operating [being replaced by International Law and European Law]. The currency of the USA - the U.S. Dollar will no longer be the reserve currency of the world.
That scenario is well on its way to realization, as global players have decided that it is the sovereignty of the USA, and the rights of its citizens, that stands in the way of their Global Empire.
Whether the Rapture occurs or not, the disappearance of the USA as an independent sovereign nation is extremely likely.
THAT is why none of the Presidential Candidates will address the issue of the U.S. Southern Border. They have enough information to know that the Economic Forces that THEY would report to, have plans for the U.S., to economically turn the USA into Mexico and NOT vice-versa. Remember Mexico and Canada are BOTH already ruled by Elites from EUROPE and they have always resented Americans who refused to bow down and worship them.
[We all should do what we can to keep our Nation as long as possible. NO ONE is advocating giving up. And Christians are instructed to OCCUPY until Jesus Christ comes back]
----------
Perhaps now would be a good time to mention a supposition, that many people who have a no-rapture concept, hold to.
The supposition is that it is the Rapture that triggers the Tribulation period. It could !
If the Rapture occurs - it will start the Tribulation Period, UNLESS there is ONE or TWO events that occur PRIOR to that.
The OTHER 3 EVENTS that COULD TRIGGER the TRIBULATION ARE:
A. AN invasion - oopps - sorry .... a Peacekeeping Exercise....From RUSSIA down to Israel
B. The signing of a Seven Year Treaty between the E.U. (or its 10 nation agencies /affiliates) and Israel, that meets the criteria of garanteeing by Treaty the borders of Israel.
C. The decision to FORMALLY turn Jerusalem over to Jews OR to the Palestinians, at which point in time, what is known as the "Time of the Gentiles" could - at that moment - expire.
In other words, if ANY one of those 3 events occur, the Tribulation period will be underway, in any case, (or for the hardline fans who want to withhold judgement on this, any one of those 3 events would mean that the Tribulation will be underway Very Soon thereafter).
So the End of the World, or the End of THIS world,
Its coming...whether the Rapture happens or not.
----------------
And within Seven Years of the start of the Tribulation, Jesus Christ will physically personally return, in physical form and take control of the planet, and judge and evaluate everyone on the Planet.
It is an interesting component of Christian Prophecy, that it is willing to go so far out on a limb, and risk its ENTIRE credibility by asserting these fantastic claims.
In some religious systems, there is prophecy, but it is the adherents of that religion, who are supposed to make things happen.
In Christianity, it is the opposite. The Christians themselves do very little except watch with the rest of the people (either from Heaven or on the Earth) as the predicted events unfold.
Christians do NOT make the events themselves happen, nor can Christians change those events or prevent their occurence.
It is the Non-Christians who act, and thereby demonstrate the accuracy of the prophecies predicted by the Christian Bible.
Christians might be able to delay those events to some degree, but with each piece of the global puzzle that is put into place, any delay becomes much less likely.
------------
If you are a Christian and you did NOT believe the Rapture, the day will arrive when you will in every way have WANTED it to have occured.
You will WANT it to still be possible.
You will do anything to find out more, about whether or not this is possible, except actually STUDY.
Yes, it is possible for Christians who do not believe in the Rapture, to actually pick up books and READ them. When they do, they learn more.
But Christians in the USA are pretty much NOT readers, and most of them read on a 6th grade level. That is sad, but this
can be remedied, if they actually will STUDY.
The saying goes that each generation DEVOLVES, becomes worse, less informed, and less educated.
The younger generation [that is secular ] today
knows a lot about technology, but very little about Christianity, and not much
about God.
A Great amount of information about Christianity is LACKING. It has not found its way to the Internet. The older people have the knowledge but do not understand how the Internet works. The younger people understand everything about the internet, but very little about History, Christian History, History of the Church (not to be confused with the Vatican), History of the Early Church etc.
What is sad is how many of the younger people feel that if they adopt a LABEL, that is the same thing as knowing what they believe, or what their belief is based on. A good example of this are the new converts to Eastern Orthodox, who know almost nothing about it, most have read very little, and almost all of their information is actually from Roman Catholic sources, but they will not learn this about Eastern Orthodoxy, for another 15 years, (not that they are likely to have that long, nor are any of the rest of us).
If you point this out to the Eastern Orthodox, most become extremely insecure and very angry. Thankfully it is up to GOD to hold each of us personally accountable for what each and every single one of us, decides to believe.
On Judgement Day, there will be No Vicar nor Any Patriarch at their side in front of the Living GOD to explain why an Eastern Orthodox simply could not find the time to study the New Testament, or decide to substitute insence and prayers to the dead for the study of the Word of God.
Saying "Christ is risen" is easy and convenient. Actually studying the New Testament to find out what the Risen Christ actually taught, and doing that FIRST HAND personally, is NOT something that Most Eastern Orthodox or Roman Catholics have found "the time" to personally accomplish.
Bit of a bad decision, to decide that , at the end of Time as humans know it.
The WORSE part is that many Evangelicals are at least as ignorant. But while Roman Catholics or the Eastern Orthodox are afraid to trust themselves to study the Bible personally, (except the Apocrypha) - Evangelicals are without those excuses.
------------
But we digress. The topic here is the Rapture. If it does not happen, all of the difficulties in the book of Revelation will STILL occur.
That is an interesting proposition.
After all, neither those who are Roman Catholic nor those who are Eastern Orthodox place any stock (credibility) in the premise that the book of Revelation is either to be taken literally, or actually has Seven Calendar Chronological years in it, that are being described.
The book of Revelation itself has an answer: All of the Plagues and Events, the Bowls and the Vials of curses that translate to physical events that will affect all living things on this planet, have a STATED time-table in the book of Revelation. They each occur on specific days, and those days and that time-table can be learned and known and studied.
Therefore IF the Book of Revelation is FALSE or NOT LITERAL , then on those specific days during the Seven Year Period, then those events which were predicted should NOT be happening.
We suppose that the URGE to study the Book of Revelation (and Ezekiel and Daniel) will be Very accute, as soon as people realize that what was predicted is actually occuring.
But anyone who doubts this can simply wait for the Mark of the Beast, and if they take it, they will not need to study and they will NOT have a second chance after that. Taking the Mark in your right hand or forehead seals a person's eternal destiny, if nothing else did before.
-------
Now we get in to the SEVEN year period.
It sounded So Bad.
Some people went and made a "BIG DEAL" out of "SEVEN" years.
Humankind has existed for THOUSANDS of years. So here is the question.
Is life So GOOD, during the time of the Tribulation ?
Is life SO GOOD ...that no one WANTS that time period to END AT The Seven Year point ?
Before, the difficulty was that many people did not want to believe in the Seven Year period. They though that somehow, if they ignored it, if they pretended it did not exist, that it would go away.
And now if the implication is that the Rapture did NOT occur, and the Seven Year period is STILL going to take place,
IS there ANYONE who does NOT want to believe that it will be over within Seven Years ?
At THAT point, it is the ones who refused to believe in the Literal Prophecies of the Bible, who are Now (then) Begging God,
praying that it will be so. On that day, those same people will be the most convinced LITERALISTS.
-------------
So we can all sit back and wait. if the Rapture happens, things are bad. If the Rapture does NOT happen, they will be worse.
Now if all of this is only a theory, then be warm and well fed. Relax, eat, drink and be merry.
But if there is a chance that these events WILL occur and are about to occur, AT WHAT POINT do you think that you should be finding out what is going to happen to YOUR life, YOUR home, YOUR family, YOUR loved ones, YOUR NATION ?
All you have to be concerned about is all the current events that keep taking place, inch by inch, day by day.
Each one that brings the Borders (boundaries) of Israel into prominence, Each even that brings the Global Rise of the European Union to the top of the Economic Ladder, those are very serious clues that None of the Events in the Book of Revelation is a Metaphor.
Its ALL lIteral. And you are about to witness it all.
So do yourself a favor, if you decide to become a Christian so that you can be raptured,
Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, and Thank God for a literal Rapture.

The Real Question is: what are you going to do with the information that was presented above ?
Is the Information True ? Yes
Is the Information Accurate ? Yes.
Do I - before God - have some responsibility to accept and act on the information in this passage from the New Testament ? Should I be making an effort to understand the End Times ?
Do I understand that there are Spiritual Forces that want to prevent me from having GREATER spiritual understanding about God, but that God himself is always in MORE of a hurry than I am, for Me to get to know HIM ?
Do I realize what my personal state of preparation will be, within me, when Islam becomes the Dominant Religion in the United States, as it is already in Europe, and how I will personally be required to defend my Faith, by argument and persuasion, using knowledge of the Bible and of History and of Christianity, and that God will rightly hold me accountable ?
In view of these facts, should I try to set aside more time for the study of the Word of God, and more time for the study of History and the true history of the Christian Church, and to learn about how other Christians in the past, actually learned to have and to gain GREAT and genuine spiritual strength ?
If no one reaches out to help prepare me for the coming challenges, whose job is it STILL for me to be prepared to answer these challenges and questions ?
