Left behind or not yet?

Question

The rapture, then 3 and 1/2 years later of the Great tribulation, then the Anti Christ, Are You going to take the mark of the beast 666?

Answer 1

RAPTURE

Rev.10:6 And sware by Him that liveth for ever and ever, Who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
TIME NO LONGER
Rev.10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as He hath declared to His servants the prophets.
SEVENTH ANGEL WHEN HE BEGINS TO SOUND

I Cor.15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM
I Cor.15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
ALL BE CHANGED, NOT JUST THE CHURCH
I Cor.15:52 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.
AT THE LAST TRUMP, SEVENTH

I Thes.4:16 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:
THE TRUMP OF GOD, SEVENTH
I Thes.4:17 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.
THE CLOUDS
The word “the” is not in the Greek manuscripts. Clouds is used by Paul for a throng.
Heb.12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
THE AIR
The word “air” Greek (aer) means “to breathe, respire”, NOT SKY. In other words the breath of life or spirit. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

II Thes.2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him,
OUR GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO HIM
II Thes.2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
NOR BY LETTER AS FROM US, FIRST THESSALONIANS
II Thes.2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU BY ANY MEANS
The sequence of events is Satan first, then the Lord’s day.

Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Rev 11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
TWO CANDLESTICKS

Rev 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
CANDLESTICKS ARE CHURCHES

Yet there are men that teach the church is raptured. Men that teach that flesh and blood is taken and others left behind. It’s nonsense when you study His Word.

666
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

(James Moffatt translation)
Now for the gift of interpretation. Let the discerning calculate the cipher of the Beast; it is the cipher of a man, and the figures are six hundred and sixty-six.

Six hundred threescore and six
G5516 χξς chi xi stigma khee xee stig'-ma
The 22nd, 14th and an obsolete letter (G4742 as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the 5th and 6th), used as numbers; denoting respectively 600, 60 and 6; 666 as a numeral: - six hundred threescore and six.
G4742 στίγμα stigma stig'-mah
From a primary word στίζω stizō (to “stick”, that is, prick); a mark incised or punched (for recognition of ownership), that is, (figuratively) scar of service: - mark.

Biblical significance of the number 6; WEAKNESS OF MAN - EVILS OF SATAN - MANIFESTATION OF SIN
Biblical significance of the number 666; THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST ANTI-CHRIST

TYPE OF BEAST
Goliath whom David slew (I Samuel 17), had the number of a man, 6, 6, and 6.
Items of Goliath, (1) helmet, (2) coat of mail, (3) greaves, (4) target, (5) spear, (6) shield
whose height was six cubits and a span
his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron

TYPE OF IMAGE
Nebuchadnezzar made an image (Daniel 3), had the number of a man, 6, 6, and 6.
Instruments, (1) cornet, (2) flute, (3) harp, (4) sackbut, (5) psaltery, (6) dulcimer
whose height was threescore cubits, or sixty
the breadth thereof six cubits

To further calculate the cipher 666 when Satan will think he is in full control.
Revelation 6:12 the sixth seal
Revelation 9:13 the sixth trump
Revelation 16:12 the sixth vial

On June 6 the U.S. Senate will vote on the Marriage Protection Amendment (MPA) which defines marriage as being only between one man and one woman. Because of a power grab by activist judges like the one in Georgia, the MPA is the only way that the sacred institution of marriage will remain between one man and one woman.

Answer 2

The Rapture has not yet occurred. The 7 years of tribulation will begin after the Rapture. I plan to be on board when the Rapture takes place. My heart breaks for anyone who is left behind. The tribulation will be more horrific than any human can imagine. I would NEVER take the mark of the beast!!! I know I'll be spending eternity with my LORD and Savior.

Answer 3

there is no rapture, only the second coming.

Matt. 25:13 – Jesus says “watch therefore, and be prepared, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

Mark 13:35-37 – Jesus says “watch because you do not know when the Master of the House will come - watch!”

Acts 1:7 - Jesus says it is not for us to know the times or seasons which the Father has fixed by His own authority.

1 Thess. 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10; Rev. 3:3 - the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

James 5:7 - be patient until the coming of the Lord. Those who try to predict disregard this inspired teaching.

Answer 4

I think the whole 06/06/06 craze is just superstitious. Yes, six IS the numer of the devil, but the bible doesnt say that the anticrist will be born in this day. Actually, he wont be born at all, he will come out of the abism, as he did a looooooooong time ago.

But yes, the anticrist is coming soon. You can notice this because of the 'signs'. The most important one is that the Jews will make Jerusalem the capital of Israel, and build the temple, where the bible says that the antichrist will sit and say he os God, which is not true. Another sign is that there are a lot of natural disasters, and that is happening, as you can see in the news.

Answer 5

I don't mean to sound all dramatic, but I will never, ever take the mark of the beast. I will starve, as will my whole family. Why? The bible has told me not to take the mark of the man who's number is 666!!

Answer 6

No, I don't care much for tattoos. I really hope you realize the left behind series is just as made up as the DaVinci Code is. It's all created to make money for the authors. That's why they write stories, to make money. I really get tired of hearing all the non-sense. Get real, think for yourself, not obey every priest or preacher that says the "Truth" was relived to him personally by god. Those are the worst con men in the world, but they still get away with it from the gullible.

Answer 7

No, although the bible says the number 666 is the sign of the devil it says nothing about June 6, 2006 so theres nothing to worry about.

Answer 8

If you have a Social Security Number, you already have the mark of the beast.

Tell me, what business can you do without one? You can't get a bank account, a drivers license or ID, go to school, buy a house, a car or anything like that without one.

Answer 9

I will pass on the mark. But, I hope people realize, not taking the mark we lose everything. Home, Car etc. even our lives! It sounds like an interesting time, but, hard too. I hope I not around then.

Answer 10

Why are you all saying "I don't plan to be here after the rapture"?
Either you know you will be with Jesus or you know you won't be. It's just like knowing you are who you say you are. If your name is Jim, you know your name is Jim but you can't explain how you know it. Faith is the same way. You know you have it but you can't explain how you know you have it.

And no, I am not going to be here after the rapture (if it does occur). I know Jesus will take me with Him. Just like I know my name is my name. And I know I will be in the presence if Jesus for all eternity after He comes back for His own.

And no, I will not take the mark of the beast.

I have been bought by the blood of Jesus and satan can not ever have me back.
