Answer 1

The "Secret" rapture is one of the most recent widely accepted belief among christians popularized by the "Left Behind" series.
This is one of Satan's lies. If a serious Christian believer will only dig deeper into the Word, he/she would dicover the truth.

While it is true that there will be a rapture of the church, it is never a secret one.

Jesus promised He will come again: John 14:1-3
When he comes he will come with ALL the angels with him.
If one angel (the one who opened the tomb of Christ) can be
so glorious and bright, how would billions of angels appear in
heaven? Definitely not secret.
Jesus himself said that his coming will be like lightning. A lighting flashes through the skies and can be seen for miles (hardly a secret. In Acts, and REvelation, it mentioned that ALL eye shall see him, even those who pierced HIm.

In the last days, people will heed to doctrines of devils. The secret rapture is one of them. People LOVE the idea that before the great tribulation, they will be snatched away. Did Apostle Paul not say the it is "through great tribulations that we will enter the kingdom of God?" Of course before we are translated to heaven, every failthful follower of the Lord will be tested. Was Joseph tested? Was Daniel tested? Were Shadrach, Mesach and Abednego tested? Of course - and they all went through it andGod was with them. WAs Noah "raptured" before the flood or did he go through it?

"Just like in the days of Noah"...meaning nobody knew when the flood will come...but when it came....was it a secret to the lost...NO. ! ! every body knew it...but then it was too late - they all perished.

This is the danger of the "Secret Rapture". People who are delaying their decision for the Lord are swept in the misguided security that when the "saved" are raptured. . .they still have time to repent. NOT SO. Read the last chapters of Luke and Matthew. When Jesus comes with all the angels with Him...He comes with the REWARD (either heaven or hell). Those who are not raptured will be destroyed by the brightness of Jesus coming and will be resurrected after a thousand years (during the second resurrection of the lost)

John 3:16 says....you believe = eternal life ; you dont believe , you perish. Also Malachi Chapter 4 says, the lost will be ashes under our feet.

That is why at this time satan is supposed to be bound for 1,000 years. This is because he is restrained on earth with no one to temp.

Will supply the overwhelming Bible references if you email me.

Answer 2

The Rapture is a unfavorable fraud, in spite of if most of the persons advertising it are possibly doing it in good faith. in spite of the undeniable fact that, this isn't any longer biblical and that's mindless. there are a number of hassle-free strategies to tutor that this isn't any longer biblical yet only 1 is Matthew 24:22. If the % are all long gone, why does the time could desire to be shortened for them? additionally, Jesus suggested his return would be unmistakeable and prefer a lightning strike (Luke 17:24). If hundreds of thousands of folk abruptly disappear, all of us else would be left scratching their heads "did Jesus return? did he no longer return? did he return as quickly as and is returning back? did I leave out some thing?". And if each and every of the Christians are long gone, who is going to help shepherd the rest to return to Christ? somewhat than be whisked away on a magic carpet, the tribulation is while Christians would be tried by using hearth. i myself think of the Rapture tale would be between the motives of the super "falling away" suggested in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. while the tribulation comes and the rapture does not ensue, hundreds of thousands of Christians would be left questioning that Christianity is a fraud and could be hassle-free pickings for an anti-Christ.

Answer 3

There's going to be a short period of peace when the Antichrist starts to make himself known. He will start talking of a one world religion, unity, peace and the like. He's going to then sign a treaty with Isreal that will throw the earth into total chaos at which time there will be a mark that is required to be a part of general society. Those who don't take the mark will be subjected to cruelities no one has seen the likes of before. The Antichrist will explain it as a freak of nature accident that took those who were"truly evil" and got rid of them.

Answer 4

Yes that is when Satan takes complete control for 7 years.
Satan will probably tell those still here that he got rid of the people that wanted to divide people, and cause trouble, not work with god, who he will claim to be.
Not everyone who calls them self a "Christian" is. And they will be left behind, also a lot of Christians are not right with God and they too will still be here.

Answer 5

This is a LETTER I have wrote to those so-called super preachers about the FALSE TEACHING of the Rapture, and have never got an answer back and it has been over a year. I believe in God with all my heart, mind, body, ans soul, but as you will see that the RETURN of CHRIST is anything BUT SECRET. It is BACKED UP with The Word of God and where you can read it for yourself.

I try to watch sermons on TV whenever I get the chance as I do not have transportation to get around. I am so tired of listening to (preachers and teachers) teach something that is not in the Word of God. How many people are going to be led astray, and when they find out it is going to be too late for them. I do not claim to be a scholar or a perfect person, but if you take time to study Gods' Word as it is written, and do a little reasearch, you can know what it states. Some of it is very hard for me, but I believe that the Lord gives to each person revelations that is for their own good. It would not be much of a world if everyone had the same understanding about everything. One day we will have full knowledge, and that will be when we go to be with the Lord. We will know how to truly worship Him and serve Him. There is something I feel I have to say and I hope and pray that it will help someone who may be asking themselves about this subject. If there is anyone who may be able to explain it different or if I am wrong, please write me and let me know. The only thing I ask is for you to use Gods' Word to give me an answer. If there is such a thing as a Rapture, what does Ezekiel 13: 17-21 mean? The Lord Himself is condeming false prophets and prophetesses teaching prophecy out of their own hearts. You could go to the beginning of Chapter 13 verses 1 through 23 and it would all apply. Just about every (preacher or teacher) I have ever heard preach this doctrine, never once approaches this chapter or verses in their sermons. I have heard them also state that you can take and use Revelation where John was taken up in the Spirit and shown what was to happen in the future and use that to say he was raptured, and that was proof that there was going to be a Rapture. That only applied to John at that time when he was exiled to the Island of Patmos and the Lord showed him what events were going to happen in the Lords Day. If he was raptured, he would not have written the Book of Revelation for us. People also use 1st Thessalonians 4 : 14-17 to use as proof of a rapture. You have to go back to verse 13 and pick up the subject. This states nothing about a Rapture. Paul spoke colloquial Greek, ( used in or characteristic of familiar and informal conversation ). Paul was a Master of many languages, but spoke to the people he met and was writing to so they may understand him better. People also use Elijah and Enoch as a reference to the Rapture. They were transfigured as the Lord was shortly before His crucifixion. You can also put Moses in that catagory. Man was not allowed to bury Moses, and it stands to reason that Moses was transfigured also as no one has ever found Moses' body. It is my true belief that the two witnesses that will appear in Jerusalem will be Elijah and Enoch. They will be killed there after their prophecy of 1260 days, and will lie in the street for three days and a half. Then the breath of life from God will enter them and they will stand upon their feet and the people will hear a great voice from heaven saying unto them, come up hither, and they accend up to heaven in a cloud. This is not a rapture or proof there is one either. The Word of God clearly states that Jesus Christ will decend from heaven with a shout and with the Voice of the Arch Angel. God Bless each and everyone who studies His Word and may he always help us to study His Word, and to walk with Him as best we can while we are in this old world full of misery and sin.

Answer 6

Rapture is it biblical?
http://www.bibleweb.org/TruthAbout/TA47.htm

If we take a closer look at the word Rapture; you will find it came from paganism. The theory of the rapture was basically unknown and untaught to scholars until John Nelson Garby came along; he was the founder of the Plymouth Brethren Church.
PAGAN means no religious beliefs.

Now as we go on further; we see a theory on bumper cars; "In case of rapture, this car will be without a driver." = Left Behind Novel by Tim LeHaye. Ok, now picture Christians piloting airplanes or driving cars suddenly "seized" away by God---resulting in deaths of innocent passangers and bystanders all over the world. What kind of God is that???
In Revelation Unveiled by Tim LeHaye; we find that he tries to teach a "rapture" by citing Rev.4:1-2, but he soon discovers the rapture of the church is not taught in Revelation 4.(p.100).
The next Bible passage that LeHaye points out is 1Thess.4:16-17 to prove a rapture theory. Let's study the entire text of the passage: "But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no help..."(1Thessalonians 4:13-18).
In this passage, Apostle Paul is comforting the Thessalonian brethren about the one's that had recently "fallen asleep" = who had died...."For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first"(v.16). The "trumpet plagues" of God will be all over the earth(Rev.8 & 9). Then Revelation 11:15 tells us: "The seventh angel sounded: and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever!'" It tells us right here that Christ does not "sneak" back to earth to secretly rapture the saints away to heaven. Instead it tells us at the end of these dramatic events, He will return. So it tells us in 1Cor.15:51-52: that the saints of God--living or dead--are not raised or changed until after the "last trumpet" has sounded. This fact alone tells us that there is no rapture.
If we continue on in Matthew 24:3-33; Jesus describes the order of the events preceding His Second Coming. See verses 5-7 carefully; do these verses tell us that the saints will escape all of this? No! Look at verse 9; many true christians will be killed before Christ returns---not "raptured" off to heaven! After this. The Great Tribulation(verses 21-22,29,31).

THE THREE HEAVENS
There's 3 heavens.

First Heaven = This is also called the firmament or expanse of heaven. It is the heaven where the birds fly and where the clouds give rain. (Gen.1:26; 2:20; 8:2 & 1Kings 18:45)

Second Heaven = This refers to outerspace where the sun, moon and stars can be found. (Gen.22:17 & Exodus 32:13 & Joshua 10:13)

Third Heaven = The Apostle Paul tells us that the heaven of God's abode is the "third heaven." In the Old Testament this is often designated by the phrase "the heaven of heavens." (Joshua 2:11 & Psalms 11:4 & 2Corinthians 12:2 equated with v.4 = paradise)

THERE ARE TWO KINGDOMS: ONE ON EARTH AND THE OTHER ONE COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN.

The 1st Kingdom of Heaven =
DAN.7:27 = "AND THE KINGDOM AND DOMINION, AND THE GREATNESS OF THE KINGDOM UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, WHOSE KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, AND ALL DOMINION SHALL SERVE AND OBEY HIM."
REV.5:10 = "AND HAST MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS: AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH."

The 2nd kingdom of Heaven =
AFTER 1,000 YEARS = A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH-HOLY CITY COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN = REV.21:1-4; ISAIAH 65:17-25; 66:1,22 AND ETC.

SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO---
ISAIAH 66:21; ZECH.14:9-11 = "BUILD HOUSES, PLANT VINEYARDS, EAT VINEYARDS"
ISAIAH 66:23; ZECH.14:16-19 = "WORSHIP FROM ONE NEW MOON TO ANOTHER AS ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER"
JESUS WILL BE GIVING CITIES TO THE SAINTS INWHICH THEY WILL BE TEACHING OTHERS THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE = MATT.25:14-23; EZEKIEL 36:10,33; LUKE 13:26; ISAIAH 61:4
WE WON'T MARRY OR BE GIVEN UNTO MARRIAGE = MATT.22:30
BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE PLAYING IN THE STREETS = ZECHARIAH 8:4-5,8
MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH = PSALM 37:9-11; MATT.5:5; REV.5:10


The events that will be taken place:
Sequence of events--
Before Jesus comes back; this will be happening: MATT.24:15-22
Desolation in Jerusalem,
2THESS.2:4 Pope in Holy Place,
REV.15 & 16 (7 last Plagues),
REV.11:3-7 (2 Witnesses = 1260 days),
REV.12:6 (woman-church fled in wilderness = 1260 days),
EZEKIEL 37:12; REV.17:14 (make war with Jesus)

When Jesus Returns--
MATT.24:27; 26:64; 1THESS.4:16-17(shout); MATT.24:37-44; 1THESS.5:2,4,8; MATT.25:31-34; 13:36-43; 24:30-31; ZECHARIAH 14:1-5; 8:1-18; EZEKIEL 36:10,33; ISAIAH 61:4; 24:1,21,22; ZECH.12:8-9; ISAIAH 65:8-12; 66:15-16; REV.6:11-17; DAN.7:27; REV.1:6-7; 5:10; 11:15; MATT.5:3,5,10; 2CHRON.2:6; 6:18; PSALM 37:9-11; 115:16; 1COR.15:51-53; ISAIAH 63:7; 11:4; JER.4:16-27; 25:9-31; REV.20:9; ISAIAH 2:2-4; REVELATION 2:26; 16:14-21; ISAIAH 65:17-25; 2COR.5:1-10 (JUDGEMENT), REV.20:10-15; JOEL 2:30-32; 3:2,12,14,16,18; ISAIAH 66:1,22; HEB.12:22; REV.3:12; 21 & 22; MATT.12:32; 2PETER 3:7-13 (HEAVENS WILL PASS WITH GREAT NOISE; NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH), ISAIAH 25:8 (WIPE AWAY TEARS); REV.7:14-17 (GOD SHALL WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS, LIVING FOUNDATIONS OF WATER). end.

Answer 7

The Book makes it clear that the Rapture will not take place until the son of perdition, the antichrist is revealed.
Thessalonians.

Answer 8

Muslims believe their "messiah" is coming to rid the world of "infidels". The 12th. Imam could use the rapture as a ruse to prove it is he. It will be all too easy.
