"RAPTURE READY"

(a poem inspired in 2007)

Saved and ready to Fly Away ...Believing with the norm...

Trusting, without questioning, every Sunday

...Not worrying about the end time storm!

Soaring with the gospel armor we’ll shout

...With our meeting in the clouds

With Christ the lamb we sang about

...Above the wicked crowds!

Escaping the wrath of God

...No eternity in hell.

All sins forgiven, with just a nod

...My preacher said “all is well”.

Why read God’s letter to understand?

...Preacher’s interpretation is fine.

Sent by his master to save my soul, “take my hand”

...Surely his intentions are divine.

BUT, what if my test is yet to come

...What does the Bible really say?

Have I studied to be approved, or ready to run,

...If Jesus Christ came today?

A wonderful concept, to fly away

...Looking forward to leaving this ground.

No matter if searching the scriptures any way

...The word “rapture” cannot be found!

A belief taken out of context

...First Thessalonians four- sixteen.

The subject is verse 13 above

...Explained in the lines between.

Was Paul mistaken when he also wrote the book

Second Thessalonians chapter two?

...describing when

The coming of Jesus Christ… only after the throne took-

...And only after the revealing of the man of sin!

Yes, at His coming we all are changed, in a twinkle,

...First Corinthians 15 fifty-two has said.

And, it won’t be silent when this trump sounds, no small tinkle,

...The last and seventh trump- Have you read?

When asked about the end, Christ said with a sigh:

...Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 “don’t be deceived”!

Ezekiel 13- God is against teaching souls to Fly

...But many teach, and many more have believed.

Am I saved for the true Lamb -of course,

...Or the lamb that speaks as a dragon?

Could it be it is the first white horse

...Which pulls the rapture wagon?

Surely my church wouldn’t be deceiving,

...Understand the Bible, I’m saved, why try?

Guess I’ll just keep on believing

...The ever-popular Pre-Tribulation Rapture Lie!

******

Saved? Saved for whom might be the better question!

Read the Bible for yourself. Don’t trust your soul to man’s traditions!

I "Believed" ...

I "Believed" the Prevalent Christian Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theory... until my research (through various sources) encouraged introspection into What God's Word actually says about my preacher's so-called End Times Sermons...

Have you always felt there was something more to the Bible than what you have learned in "church"?
Do you value the salvation of Your soul and Your personal relationship to our Father?
Do you "worship" your Father by attending a Sunday hour each week -only to listen to a 'interpretation" of a couple of "out" of context verses?
*******

Have you asked your church "teacher" questions like:
If the "subject" of I Thessalonians Chapter 4 is "the rapture" when Jesus returns, then how does II Thessalonians Chapter 2 verse 3 relate to the Coming?
Why does I Corinthians Chapter 15 vs 52 say we are "changed' at the "LAST" trump if we are "raptured" before the first trumpet sounds?
and... Why am I so much "better" than the twelve who actually walked with Jesus-I mean if I am to be raptured away from tribulation, why did God allow Jesus's own to suffer horrible fates???
Where does the BIBLE state there are Two comings of Jesus Christ- (you know the first one is for the rapture)?
Why does Jesus himself state that his coming is "after" events described in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21?

If you are entrusting your soul's fate to some man (rather than God's Word), make sure you are "testing his fruit" by checking him out by what God's Word states!
If what you have "learned" about God's plan for you turns out to not be entirely accurate when you stand before God on judgement day,
...will God say " that's OK, the preacher said you were saved" or might he say "I never knew you: depart from me ...(Matthew 7:23)".

You are responsible for Yourself....don't trust man or man's traditions...read God's letter to You (the Bible) for yourself!

Question Everything

Looking forward to "The Rapture"?
Before you get ready to "fly away" ... make sure you know the truth !

What is "the Rapture"?
You've probably heard the term "Rapture" - but try to find the word "Rapture" in God's word.

Don't want to be "Left Behind"?
Make sure you are not being Led Behind by man's traditions!

The pre-tribulation rapture theory preached from many pulpits today gives Christians
a false security. My Story involved trading-in false security for Bible truth!
Many "pre-trib" followers even think God's letter of Revelation doesn't need to be read
- since they will "fly' away before the events depicted occur!
But even verse 3 of the first chapter in Revelation states:
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things
which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Read God's Word for yourself !

What about those who teach a pre-tribulation Rapture?
Ezekiel Chapter 13 shows God's feelings about those who
"hunt the souls to make them fly" (Ezekiel 13) .

19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread,
to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people
that hear your lies?

20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls
to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt
to make them fly.

Have YOU read? Revelation gives us 7 seals as indicators of the coming antichrist.
The most important 1st seal describes the rider of the first white horse coming as an imitation,
the "instead of" or "anti" Christ. God does not want you to be deceived!

Are you going to believe man's teachings or believe the words of Jesus?

When asked about end times, Jesus begins with the warning "do not be deceived"
Read what Jesus said...(Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21)
- find out the truth for yourself!

The W's of the Rapture >>>
What, Who, Where, When and Why???

What is it ? Who does it affect ? Where does the event occur? When does it happen ?
and... Why does it matter ?
*******

WHAT is the "Rapture" theory?
A "theory" because it has not been proven yet- this is a future event.

Eschatology (the study of end times) views differ as to the time frame that Jesus Christ will return
to gather together his “saintly” ones. The book of Revelation symbolically depicts the
"tribulation" period(s) of the end times. The timing of "the Rapture" defines differing schools of rapture theory (i.e., pre-tribulation, mid-trib, or post tribulation).
Another words, before horrible times on earth, in the middle of earth’s collapse, or after all mankind has
endured God’s wrath. But, generally all “rapture" views have good people in heaven
and bad people in eternal Hell!

- Most people will say the Rapture “theory” is founded on the belief of Christians
that in the “end times” (of the world), Jesus Christ will suddenly return
and gather “saved” Christians out of the world...leaving behind “non-believers” to suffer terrible consequences, world disasters, global war,and a world controlled by Satan himself.

A pre-tribulation definition of "The Rapture" is typically given by "church-going folks" of today's traditional teachings.
This anticipated ‘Rapture” event provides comfort for modern Christians in hoping to escape
dreaded prophecy fulfillment of the book of Revelation.
It seems a lot of church leaders don’t even attempt to teach, or even read Revelation
-since they believe the events in Revelation will not pertain to them and they will be "raptured" to Heaven beforehand.

*******

What is “The Rapture”?

If you have seen the "Left Behind" movie series, this song kinda sums it up...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvB3FWk8Xss&list=FL5V3H7BBIOghZ5z8FO3QQkA

When asked about this "rapture", most Christians point to the Paul's writings of I Thessalonians- describing a "catching away" when Jesus Christ returns...

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:

(this will not be a silent event (as some depict) and the return will be at a trump- but which of the 7 trumps depicted in Revelation?)

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.
("clouds" because there will be many with Christ when he comes and the word "air " in Greek
means "breath " not atmosphere!)

Fact is, the subject of this chapter is actually "where are the dead" as stated in verse 13
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. (If we believe Jesus arose, then we must believe those who have died are 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.
("prevent " here means we cannot go before them which are already dead- for they are with Christ already!)

Paul did however address the second coming of Jesus Christ in II Thessalonians Chapter 2 as follows:

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, (now the subject is the coming)

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; (don't be deceived- the coming is not until Satan is
revealed , therefore, Satan comes first!)

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
("after " Satan)

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

(If you wish to "believe a lie" God will let you!)

When will a Rapture occur?

I Corinthians Chapter 15 tells us that we will put on our "spiritual" body when Christ returns at the "last"
or seventh thump- after events of the first six trumps have occurred....
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.

Call it a "Rapture" if you wish, but Jesus Christ is coming and we will gather to him (at the Last Trump) -after satan's tribulation.
What is satan's tribulation? What is the Great Tribulation? Are they different? Click Here.

Our Father wants you to follow His Word-not the traditions of man!
Ezekiel Chapter 13 shows God's feelings about those who
"hunt the souls to make them fly" (Ezekiel 13) .

Do YOU know the sequence of events during the tribulation period(s) ?
Have YOU read? Revelation gives us 7 seals as indicators of the coming antichrist. The most important 1st seal describes the rider of the first white horse coming as an imitation, the "instead of" or "anti" Christ. God does not want you to be deceived!

Are you going to believe man's teachings or believe the words of Jesus?

When asked about end times, Jesus begins with the warning "do not be deceived"
Read Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21
- find out the truth for yourself!

The Rapture “theory” may have it’s beginnings in the 1830’s (see Dave MacPherson's documentations),but even Jesus' disciples were longing for a new beginning with Jesus as King! Specifically told of the Messiah and his first coming in their scriptures, even religious leaders didn't recognize Jesus during his time on earth... Will you - at his second coming???

It seems a lot of today's religious "church" leaders don’t even attempt to teach, or even read Revelation
-since they believe the events in Revelation will not pertain to them and they will be "raptured" to Heaven beforehand.

With our modern “rush-rush” drive through "give it to me NOW" (and "super-size it"), most church-goers would rather believe what their “church leaders” interpret scripture as ... rather than taking time to read God’s letter (the Bible) for themselves. Sadly, many Christians (followers of Christ) are betting their eternal soul on a unfounded pre-trib rapture “theory”. Rather than a verse-by-verse Bible teaching, many of today's "churches" tell people what their "itching" ears want to hear. Pre-Trib followers need to head the Word as in II Timothy Chapter 4:

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

If pre-trib "rapture" believers are wrong, some questions need to be considered:
Will God grant these “rapturians” immunity at his throne of judgment putting any mis-founded beliefs
to their church leaders blame?

Will our Father be happy with those who didn't’t take the time to seek Him
through reading His Word for themselves?

Study to show yourselves approved!

Revelation Chapter 13 describes satan's "anti" Christ or his imitator, "instead of" Christ roles:
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.
The Pre-tribulation Rapture teaching leads Christians into being deceived thinking satan is actually Christ.
and God's Word states in Revelation: 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

During man's Tribulation, all will be deceived through satan's imitation of Jesus Christ and will not be ready for the true Christ's coming... 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
(I Thessalonians 5) Jesus taught 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. . (Matthew 24) ... Also ... 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Don't believe traditions of man....Read what Jesus said about his coming in Matthew 24:

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?
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.

Many so-called Christ-men or "Christians" will deceive many:
11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24For 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.

Don't be deceived! Jesus Christ only comes AFTER satan's tribulation period....not to "rapture" people away before they are "tested" by satan
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.

Also recorded in Mark 13 and Luke 21, Jesus tells of times of tribulation Before his return:
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. (Mark 13)

and ... 31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. (Luke 21)
Our Father wants his children (followers) to put on the Gospel Armour to "Stand" against satan
...not "fly away"

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: (Ephesians 6)

Don't let man's traditions of Pre-tribulation Rapture or anything else deceive you into following satan thinking he is Jesus Christ !
Don't take any man's word on faith...put your faith in your Father...
You alone will face God's judgment seat- not your Bible teacher....READ the Word for yourself !

Whenever Jesus Christ returns, be ready...be faithful...and watch!

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.

And Remember to stick with God's Word - not any man who "adds to" or or "takes away" from the scriptures.
As stated in Revelation 22, changing the true Word of God is not a good thing...

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

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

God intends for you to READ his letter to you (the BIBLE) so you won't be deceived!
No matter when Christ returns, if you trully have a heart-filled love for our Father you'll be OK- so don't get anxious to "fly away"- God looks out for his own that love him!

I Believe

The Tribulation(s)

What about the Tribulation spoken of in Revelation?
Actually this "time of trouble" for mankind is divided into 2 periods- one from satan and the final of God the Father!
Mankind will be "tested" to see if you choose to follow satan or God!
The dire consequences of pre-tribulation "rapture" teachings consummate in actually helping satan achieve his goals! satan comes disguised as an "angel of light"

13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works (II Corinthians Chapter 11).
- transformed or "disguised as " ministers of righteousness.

satan will not be recognized as evil by most as he will be pretending to be Jesus....
He will come pretending to be your "traditional" concept of Jesus to deceive you bringing "peace "
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries ( Daniel Chapter 11). Don't be deceived!

He will "perform miracles' and many who don't know god's word "sealed in their foreheads" will have the "mark of the beast" in their minds- worshiping satan- deceived into actually thinking satan is Jesus Christ!
Then the true Christ returns and God's Great tribulation begins to burn the evil elements in the world -don't get burned by man's traditions!

I Believe

My Story

I must admit, my personal journey to Christ, had beginnings (as a lot of “head-saved’ rather than “heart-saved” Christians) in the fear of having to live through the “end times” events
depicted in books, movies (such as the popular “Left Behind” series) and even pulpit teachings….
"Repent and accept Christ as your Savior today – or die and go to Hell"!
AND if you don’t die before the world ends, you will suffer horrible pains because only the “saved” believers will be “raptured” out of tribulations.

After resisting feelings of conviction as long as I could, I finally accepted salvation through Jesus Christ.
I wanted then to learn as much as I could about the Bible. I began to watch some “Christian TV channels “-to learn all I could about God’s plan for mankind. And, as God would have it, channel-surfing one day I came across a
non-demoninational pastor answering questions from viewers
-(a new concept?).
I began to listen daily to his verse-by-verse bible teachings and, after praying to the Father for wisdom, I soon discovered my “eyes to see and ears to hear”.
Quickly realizing how I had been mislead about many things through
traditional biblical teachings- I began to actually read God's word for myself!

I purchased a Strong's Concordance for Hebrew and Greek definitions and began to read chapters with the "subject" of the verses in mind -instead of verses taken out of context. Then I began to understand God’s plan for mankind and came into real Bible "meat" instead of the "milk" I had been feed in church.

Now, after some years of daily teaching from the Shepherd’s Chapel,
I have been Blessed with 3rd level mentoring from a now Dear Friend- truly an elect of God!

After realizing I had been mislead about many Bible topics, I began to question “the Rapture” theory also...

and Wondered -does one put on the "Gospel Armour" to fly or Put on the whole amour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11
No, God wants his children to "stand" against Satan!

My conclusions on the "Rapture" are:

satan will come before Jesus Christ's return and will deceive many as he will pretend to be Christ.

Pre-Trib "rapture" teachings actually help satan in this deception- pretending to be Christ.

We "all" who are alive at the "true" Christ's second coming will be "changed" into our spiritual bodies at the "last" trump sound (I Corinthians 15).

This event will NOT happen until after Satan is here on earth claiming to be God (II Thessalonians 15).

No man knows when this will occur, but Jesus gave us signs of the coming tribulations (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, Revelation).

Note: emphasis on the "no man knows" part)

Don't let man's traditions of Pre-tribulation Rapture, or anything else, deceive you into following satan thinking he is Jesus Christ !
Don't take any man's word on faith...put your faith in your Father...
You alone will face God's judgment seat- not your Bible teacher....READ the Word for yourself !

Whenever Jesus Christ returns, be ready...be faithful...and watch!

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.

God intends for you to READ his letter to you (the BIBLE) so you won't be deceived! AND DO NOT be a part of the Apostasy during the Tribulation Period!
No matter when Christ returns, if you truly have a heart-filled love for our Father you'll be OK- so don't get anxious to "fly away"- God looks out for his own that love him! Read his letter to you for yourself !

May God Bless,
