The Rapture | Facts Vs Fiction

Haven been lambasted for saying the RAPTURE as taught by church leaders [catching away of the saints to heaven to live there, before the Antichrist comes to reign on the earth] is not correct; it is paramount to clearly state the truth and fictions of the RAPTURE

Matthew 24:30,31; 1Thessalonians 14:15-17; Daniel 7: 21,22,25,27 are a few scriptures to consider in explaining this

First thing to point out in this Facts Vs Fiction is;

*Saints will be caught up to be in heaven before the Antichrist takes over the earth. This is not true (Fiction)

Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulations of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and powers of the heavens shall be shaken

It says in verse 29 that it's after the tribulations of those days that Christ shall come.

The tribulations here refers to the period in which the Antichrist, or antichristian government will persecute the church (saints/elect) this means that the saints will still be on earth.

In Daniel 8:25; it says "And he (the Antichrist) shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the SAINTS of the Most High, and think to change times and laws (dishing out antichristian rules and regulations) and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and dividing of time.

What does that teach us; it means the Antichrist will persecute the saints/elects.

If the saints will not be on the earth in those days, who then, will the Antichrist wear out (persecute)

Next Fiction is;

*The Second Coming Of Christ Is Different From The Catching Up Of The Saints. This also is not true (Fiction)

Matthew 24:30 says "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.

Vs31 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.

The above verses *30,31 is what is reemphasized in 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17

Verse 31 of Matthew 24 and verse 16,17 of 1 Thessalonians 4 is what people refer to as the RAPTURE

Let us therefore break it down; first of, scriptures say in Matthew 24:30 and 1 Thessalonians 4:15 that the world shall see Christ coming down from heaven. This is nothing but the second coming.

Where preachers have a problem is where it says a trumpet will sound and the elect/saints will be called up to meet Christ in the air.

Here's the thing. The return of Christ to the earth, will result in the battle of Armageddon because the Antichrist will be the ruler of this world then. Therefore as Christ is coming, he will send his angels to gather his saints from all over the world to fight alongside him in the battle of Armageddon.

When the trumpet is blown for Christ's army to gather together, those that are counted worthy from around the world, will not need aeroplane to travel and meet with the Lord but they will be pulled up by the power of God from USA, Nigeria, China, Afghanistan e.t.c to assemble with the Lord in the air.

Then Christ and his assembled army will land on the earth together at a designated place for the battle of Armageddon

This therefore means that the coming of Christ and the catching up of the saints is one event

See the book of acts

[This Same Jesus Which Is Taken From You Into Heaven, Shall So Come In Like Manner As Ye Have Seen Him Go Into Heaven] Acts 1:11

So, the above above scripture says Jesus Christ will come back to the earth same way he was caught up and at his return, his followers on the earth will see him.

This is definitely a proof that believers will be on the earth during the reign of the Antichrist because, it is after the period of great persecutions of the saints by that antichristian government that Christ will return to redeem God's people.

Need I state again that there are only two resurrections recorded in scriptures. The first is at the return of Jesus Christ to the earth; while the other is at the end of time when God will judge the world in righteousness.

Scripture says at the return of Jesus Christ, there will be blown a trumpet and the saints both dead and alive will be transformed to be with the Lord and fight the Antichrist and his followers at the battle of Armageddon.

Christ and the believers will emerge victorious at that battle according to scriptures and the saints will be given authority to judge and rule over the inhabitants of the earth for a thousand years.

After the thousand years elapse, the devil who must have been in prison after the battle of Armageddon, will be released and he will try to assemble the inhabitants of the earth to rebel against the rule of Christ and the saints.

This will result in the battle of Gog and Magog. This time, God himself will fight against the devil and his new army by releasing fire and brimstone from Heaven upon them.

It is after this, that the final trumpet will blown and the Almighty God will sit on his throne to judge mankind according to scriptures; and anyone not found written in the book of life shall be cast into the lake of fire. Including the devil himself.

In all of this, there is no provision for rapture or saints going to live in heaven. Rather, the saints will live on the new earth after judgement

Be Reminded

The doctrine of #RAPTURE (saints being caught up to heaven to live there before the Antichrist comes) is fallacy.

There's no such thing as that. Jesus didn't teach that, neither did his apostles.

#Rapture: catching away of believers to live in heaven before the reign of the Antichrist (antichristian government) is a misconstrued teaching conceived by agents of darkness inspired people in order to distract saints and blindly accepted by naive believers.

Be smart therefore, watch for the signs of the Antichrist, teach your children to be on the look out and be ready to resist that government and it rules; especially receiving his mark when the time comes

Hope this makes sense
