If you believe in the "rapture"...?

Question

Would you believe in the fake Jesus that will sit in Jerusalem, when you're still in the flesh, waiting for the rapture?
For, the fake Jesus, the false prophet, the devil, will be looking like Jesus. Pretending to be Jesus, but his voice will be of the dragon, the devil.
Rev 13:4” And they worshipped the dragon…”
Rev 13:11 "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon." Horns represent power; power like Jesus but speaking like the dragon, the devil.
When this happens, remember that the devil comes before the true Jesus.
Please, give mature answers only. If you can't answer maturely than please don't answer. Thank you.

Answer 1

I'm having trouble understanding your question. Are you meaning anti-christ? Yes, I do believe he will come before Christ returns to reign on the earth. I also believe that Christians will be here during the tribulation. I don't think we'll be whisked away or anything.

Answer 2

What mature answer do you expect when you have picked up the most ridiculous portions from the New Testament in the Bible and seek comments from mature people. In the Bible there are so many portions that thinking people have stopped reading and treat this as a wastage of time to read for the second time. These are all figment of imagination in the name of prophecy.

Answer 3

I'm an intelligent Christian & I tell you that Revelations should have been deemed part of the apocrypha books - set aside for only true theologians that don't buy into every imagined piece of absorbed mental wankery that comes down the pipeline. I believe that John the Beloved, when he wrote the book, only meant it as a vision of what was possible(probable?) given our human predilections toward the "seven deadlies;" it is NOT to be seen as something as "written in stone. For all we know that book was the result of John smoking too much of the "local ganja" while isolated on the island of Patmos.

Quit quoting that book! John himself said that no person should "add or substract" from its contents: through your "extrapolations" of its passages, you're ostensibly doing just that...read what happens to those who do this sort of thing...

Answer 4

Well Lex your just ignorant. Romans, Jews, and Muslims alike agree that Jesus is real. the real question is was he a prophet, or the son of God.

You just don't believe, therefore you have no faith, therefore you don't believe in a higher power and lack credibility so SHUT UP!

If the devil poses as god but tries to lead you in a path away from riotousness, then a true christian should know the difference. but you wont' know until your in that situation. However i do belive that god forgives and lucifer is here to lead people into temptation.

Answer 5

In the bible it says that Jesus will be returning in the Clouds. So that is how I know how to seperate the Real Jesus and the fake Jesus. I tried to do some searching to where it was found in the bible. But I could not find it. I will do some searching for you to find out where it is.

Answer 6

The scriptures say the anti-Christ will be so deceiving, if it were possible even the elect would be deceived. I think the followers of Jesus will know the scripures well enough not to be taken in. I do believe that the true Christians will be taken out of this world before the "wrath of God" starts. Gods wrath is not against His kids.

Answer 7

Grace unto you and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

As to the rapture, it's too late (in 2006AD) for any of rapture theories, since (i) there is no respect of persons with God (ii) the last[not just past] millennium had two false/true ends and notably a 3 1/2 yr (42 mos) countdown from Grenwich beginning June 1996; so in 2006 it's too late for all pre/mid/post trib rapture theories (iii) the exhortation is mind not high things (such as a high priest of a God on high), be not highmindead, but rather endure unto the end to be saved(only) by grace(only).

As to Revelation it's not written as something that will happen (as you say) nor as something that did happen (as others say), but rather written as a latter end "worse" case scenario to "avoid", such as seven spirits more wicked noted in Mt 12:45.

As to Jesus, he's only risen to on high of high/higher, and standing rather than seated right. So perhaps you also should look up, higher, to where Christ(the end of the law) is seated, notably above such law law which is law whether left or right.

Jesus: division and not peace
Christ: peace and not division

Jesus: made under the law
Christ: the end of the law

Peace with God, and eternal salvation, are notably "THROUGH Jesus->Christ" which end focuses on Christ: the end of the law, our peace who hath abolished the law, Saviour of the world, the author of eternal salvation, etc.

As to a slain Lamb with seven horns vs a two horned Lamb speaking as a dragon, it seems to be law worketh wrath either way of such law law; the POINT being "grace us sufficient" meaneth no law req'd; for law produces only divison, and bloodshed, and vengeance (not grace, mercy, peace).

As to maturity, it's the man part of child/man, and the perfect part of imperfect/perfect. So Christ(not Jesus) is the perfect man. And the measure of the stature of the "fulness" of Christ(the end of the law) is not even any mention of devilish law(sin, death, hell) in the end:

The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 8

I personnally believe that it's just another religious invention or maybe a belief taken to another pagan religion. It's written because people in that time didn't have the same comprehension of the world as we do and used the believe in such things. I also think that Jesus is just a metaphor, didn't really existed (sorry for those who believe he did) to tell people to like each other and to explain things of life and death as religions were used to in that time.

Answer 9

All part of the end times.

The false Jesus you speak of is the Antichrist.

After the rapture he will try to unite the world, and brainwash people to believe him, that he is Jesus. People who believe him go to hell, the ones who resist get to go into the Millennial of peace on Earth.

Answer 10

The rapture involves Jesus calling up his "church" to meet Him in the air. Jesus also warns us not to go out looking for him, if someone says, "look, He is in the desert". As Christians we are to be ready to hear His voice. We are to be looking upward and living our lives in peace and love.
