NEXT MAJOR EVENT THE RAPTURE

THE RAPTURE!

WHAT IS A RAPTURE?

THE RAPTURE IS THE LITERAL TAKING OF OUR BODIES TO JESUS IN THE CLOUDS JUST BEFORE THE TRIBULATION OF 7 YEARS ON THE EARTH.

1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.( NOT SCARE) NOTICE!!!!!!!!!!

1 CORINTHIANS 15:51-55
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

Will we know the exact minute Jesus calls us home?

MATTHEW 24:36,42
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

MARK 13:32-37
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

No, we will know that it is near by all the signs Jesus told us would begin to happen just before he takes us up to Heaven with him.

SO WE KNOW BY ISRAEL BECOMING A NATION AND CAPTURING JERUSALEM, THAT, THAT WAS THE BEGGINING OF THE COUNTDOWN TO THE LAST DAYS AND THE RAPTURE COULD OCCUR ANYTIME AFTER THESE TWO EVENTS AND THE BEGGINING OF ALL THE SIGNS IN MATTHEW 24, MARK 13, AND LUKE 17,21 OCCUR.

NOTICE IT EVEN SAYS THE LITERAL TIME ISRAEL WOULD BECOME A NATION. JUST BEFORE SUMMER, TREES BUD IN SPRING. HOW AWESOME GODS WORDS ARE TO US LITERALLY.

MATTHEW 24:32-34
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

PROPHECY FULFILLED ON MAY 14, 1948. GOD BROUGHT THE BONES OF ISRAEL TO LIFE IN HIS LAND HE GAVE TO HIS PEOPLE ISRAELIS.

BUT ONE OTHER EVENT HAD TO HAPPEN BEFORE WE KNEW THE LAST GENERATION COMES INTO EFFECT.

ISRAEL HAD TO BE IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM.

LUKE 21:24-28
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.(ISRAEL CAPTURES JERUSALEM ONCE AGAIN).
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

HOW DO I KNOW THAT THESE TWO EVENTS ARE THE BEGGINING OF THE LAST DAYS COUNTDOWN GENERATION?

Well in Daniels prophecy of Israels history it tells us, Daniel deals with his people (ISRAELIS) and their Holy City JERUSALEM.

DANIEL 9:24-27
24 Seventy weeks (70x7=490 YRS) are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks (7x7=49 YRS), and threescore and two weeks (62x7=434 YRS): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks (434 YRS) shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

NOTICE HERE 69 WEEKS OR 483 YRS WERE FULFILLED, BUT IT HAS TO BE 490 YRS BEFORE THE PROPHESY AND VISION CAN BE COMPLETED.

WERE IS THE LAST 7 YEARS OF THIS PROPHESY?

WELL ITS IN THE NEXT VERSE, REMEMBER DANIEL IS TALIKG TO HIS PEOPLE ISRAELIS AND THEIR HOLY CITY JERUSALEM.

27 And he (EU LEADER) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (7x1=7 YRS): and in the midst of the week ( 3 1/2 YRS) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(TEMPLE SACRIFICES IN JERUSALEM) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

SO HERE WE SEE ISRAEL HAD TO BECOME A NATION AND IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM, BEFORE THE FUTURE 7 YEAR CONTRACT COULD BE SIGNED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION LEADER AND ISRAEL AND MANY (ARABS ETC).

AND SINCE DANIEL IS DEALING WITH HIS PEOPLE ISRAELIS, IN THE LAST DAYS TO COMPLETE HIS PROPHECY GIVIN TO HIM BY GOD. IT HAD TO BE THAT ISRAEL IS IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM BEFORE THIS FUTURE FINAL WEEK OR 7 YEARS COULD BE FULFILLED.

AND WHAT SIGNS WILL BE HAPPENING THAT WE WILL KNOW ITS THE LAST DAYS GENERATION AND THE RAPTURE COULD OCCUR AT ANY MOMENT?

LUKE 21:25-28
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

So we see here Signs in the Sun, Moon and stars. Distress of Nations. And the sea and the waves roaring, men scared to death of whats coming on the earth for the powers of the Heavens are shakin.

Ozone depletion is signs in the Sun.

1969 after Israel had a Nation (48) and in control of Jerusalem (67), the first moonwalk
occured.

Jupitar bombarded was a sign of many in the Stars.

Distress of Nations! With Mass confusion! Yes between World terrorism and the Storms (SEA AND WAVES ROARING).

Mens hearts are scared of whats coming on the Earth. And the glaciers are melting and causing water to rise around the Globe. (GLOBAL WARMING).

Are all these things not happening right now in their beggining stages, Yes they are.

More Signs JESUS told us would occur are.

MATTHEW 24:1-42
1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (AGE OF GRACE)
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For 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.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore 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.
27 For 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.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately 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:
30 And 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.
31 And 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.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

We see here, Temples are being destroyed: Alabama Churches were destroyed and Happening more and more.

All kinds of cult leaders calling themselves JESUS, these days (NEW AGE MOVEMENT)(I AM)

Wars and rumours of wars everyday on the news. Nation against nation and ethnic group against Ethnic group.

Famines everyday in the news.

Pestilences (Incurable Diseases) Aids, Bird flu and many other in these last days.

Earthquakes in different places. Yes and getting greater in destruction.

These are only the Beggining of sorrows.

Israelis and Christians will be hated for Jesus name sake. Happening now, beheading becoming regular event of Muslims against Israelis and Christians.

Sin will infultrate the world, It sure is these days.

The Good news of JESUS , DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD WILL BE TAUGHT WORLDWIDE. Thats happening, Christian ministers are getting access to people around the world (Crusades) and through the internet.

Verse 15 switches from SIGNS directly to the 3 1/2 yr mark of the Tribulation. When the abomination of the EU dictator is set up in the 3RD TEMPLE. Israelis are ordered to flee Israel and Jerusalem when this Occures. Immence tribulation it will be for Israelis and converted Christians in those days.

God shortens the daylight hours or people would be fryed from the heat. we see it coming together now the begginings of global warming.

Then it says all kinds of false prophets and christs will arise. Deceiving people with false miracles at this time during the tribulation period.

In verse 25 we see Jesus say, Behold I have told you before it happens so you will know and be prepared.

Verse 27 Jumps to the End of the 7 yr tribulation to give the SIGN of JESUS returning to EARTH BODILY. There will be a bolt of LIGHTNING from EAST TO WEST IN THE SKY. By this sign the Earths population will know JESUS is returning to Earth BODILY. EXPECT HIM.

Verse 28 says the Birds of prey will be eating dead bodies, Thats why its DARK when JESUS returns to earth from all the Nuclear weapons going off. This happens also at the end of the 7 YR tribulation as Zechariah 14:12-16 tells us.

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

MATTHEW 24:29-31
29 Immediately 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:
30 And 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.
31 And 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.

Verse 32 goes back to the SIGNS, and says Israel will be reborn in the SPRING.

MATTHEW 24:32-42
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

And since Daniel tells us God deals with ISRAEL and JERUSALEM, ISRAEL HAD TO BE IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM IN THE LAST DAYS. IT OCCURED JUST LIKE THE BIBLE SAID IT WOULD.

SO WHEN ALL THE SIGNS MENTIONED OCCUR IN CONJUNCTION WITH ISRAEL IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM, YOU WILL KNOW THE RAPTURE CAN OCCUR AT ANY MOMENT. THIS WILL BE THE LAST GENERATION OF THE AGE OF GRACE BEFORE CHRIST RULES AND REIGNS FROM JERUSALEM FOREVER.

Verse 37 gives us final signs to look for. These happening will be WORLDWIDE like in Noahs day. And people will be caught off guard not knowing the SIGNS that are occuring on Earth.

Notice verse 38 life is going on as normal.

Verse 39 switches to the Rapture of the Church to Heaven. And 40-41 says 1 /2 of the POPULATION of EARTH die during this 7 yr contract or Daniels 70th week of years.

Verse 42 Stresses WATCH, by the SIGNS OCCURING THAT JESUS WILL BE RETURNING AT ANY MOMENT TO RAPTURE THE CHRISTIANS TO HEAVEN.

Then after the Rapture Occurs, The 70th week or 7 yr treaty is signed by the EU dictator Israel and Many.

WW3 occurs and at the end of the 7 yr treaty or tribulation period.

Jesus and the Christians return to rule and reign for 1000 years and then forever on Earth with CHRIST.

So we see all the SIGNS are in the beggining stages now true Christians, pack your bags JESUS will be coming to get us anytime NOW.

REVELATION 3:10
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from (NOT THROUGH) the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.( 7 YR TRIBULATION).
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

NOTICE THE CHURCH IS NOT MENTIONED AGAIN AFTER 3:17, UNTILL REVELATION CH 22, NO NEED TO MENTION THE CHURCH IF WERE IN HEAVEN WITH CHRIST.

REVELATION 4:1-4
1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.(AFTER THE AGE OF GRACE).
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Like Revelation 22:20-21 SAYS COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS. WE PRAY AMEN AND AMEN IN JESUS NAME.
