Between the Pre-, Mid-, and Post-Tribulation rapture theorists and the A-Millennialists and Preterists, millions of Christians have been blinded by false (lying) doctrines and are therefore at risk of losing or giving away their salvation.
Those who just said to themselves, “Oh, we cannot lose our salvation” have just proven a terrible point and shown their lack of scriptural understanding.
In general, we may not be able to lose our salvation… but we are not living in “general” times! No, we are living in the Latter Days and a time when the Tribulation Period of the Great Consummation and the Mark of the Beast are due to come upon us; and that, all too soon.
The Great Consummation is nearly upon us. We are deep into the Latter Days time line, and the end is oh so near! As of 2015, sixty-seven years out of an eighty years or less time line have elapsed. The time line began in 1948 when Israel became a nation and now leaves very little time remaining before the end. With this in mind, how many people do you know and care about who are not yet saved? Every believer needs to get busy!
This Side of the Whirlwind provides readers with the information needed to effectively refute every mistaken End Times doctrine currently available. It may require a little work, but it is very possible. God’s Word interprets itself when every scripture has been considered. Previous generations could live their entire lives without genuinely fearing the coming of the end. This cannot be said for this generation. As faulty End Times doctrines provide false hope, millions of Christians are in danger of losing their salvation. Pre-, Mid-, and Post-tribulation rapture theories, as well as A-Millennialism and Preterism, cannot continue without an effective challenge. Bear in mind, false End Times doctrines are not the only issues that may lead the sinners or saved to hell. After all, not everyone recognizes or accepts Jesus as God or Savior or acknowledges His coming in our lifetimes. Continue reading →
We left off with this contract between God and Humanity:
Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse;
the blessing, if you obey the commandment of the LORD your God which I command you today;
And the Curse (Judgment) if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today. (Deuteronomy 11:26-28 NKJV)
Now, let’s look at the Split Versing of the Covenant of Jesus Christ.” The two divisions of the contract or covenant can be seen in Isaiah 61:1 and 2.
First Half of the Covenant”
At the beginning of His ministry Jesus announced Himself the fulfillment of the Blessing’s Half of the Contract when He said Isaiah 61:1-2a was fulfilled by Him (Jesus). He did this on the day He entered into His hometown Synagogue in Nazareth (Luke 4:14-21) and proclaimed Himself Israel’s Messiah. Here is what He read, Isaiah 61:1-2a:
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach glad tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted; to proclaim liberty to the captives; and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;Continue reading →
Most tend to think of the Beast as the Antichrist, but is this what scripture is referring to when it speaks of the Beast coming up out of the seas? Mostly… Yes!
1 John 4:7 says, “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” (NIV)
Over the next few posts titled, “The Beast” we will discuss who and what scripture calls the Beast or Antichrist and what attributes or character traits will adequately describe this infamous Biblical character.
How about a question? What is the 2nd half of Christ’s Covenant?
Here’s the “simple” answer. The 2nd half of Christ’s Covenant is the Judgment half of Christ’s two-part Contract with humanity for Salvation. Was that really a simple answer? You’d have to decide for your self. 🙂
What contract — you might ask?
The two part contract between God and humanity which offers people Salvation. Continue reading →
But though he (Jesus) had done so many miracles before them, yet they (Israel) believed not on him: that the saying of Esaias (Isaiah) the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted and I should heal them. These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him (Jesus) (John 12:37–41 KJV emphasis added).
Of course, the report in question speaks of Jesus the Christ.[1] While the gospel has been offered to every gentile nation with varied levels of acceptance, some of the earth’s populations have been created as brute beasts predestined for their own destruction (2 Peter 2:12, Jude 1:10). Conspicuously, if the gateway to destruction is broad[2] and the gateway to salvation narrow,[3] there will always and unavoidably be more destined toward their own destruction than toward the glories of salvation. This is a sad but accurate biblical truth. Pray for those who cannot internalize (see or hear) the gospel message. Pray for God’s boundless mercy on every person you know. Petition our Savior through your prayers for mercy on the lost, but more important, pray for those brothers and sisters in Christ who are currently saved and love the Lord but have not obeyed in learning God’s Word effectively. Remember, any Christian who receives the Mark of the Beast will suffer the full measure of God’s Wrath (Revelation 14:9–12).
The horrors I have witnessed in the visions of God’s Wrath bring tears to my eyes EVERY time I think on these issues. Continue reading →
When God determines the world has reached the fullness of time (Ephesians 1:7-12 found at end of Post) Jesus will come to gather all those individuals who have accepted His covenant through His propitiation or payment for sin.
Sadly, when the Lord returns, many of the saints will have been deceived by those tempting lies perpetrated by the Beast via The Church’s mistaken End-Times teachings.
The current End-Times misunderstanding (Pre, Mid and Post Tribulation teachings as well as A-Millennialism and Preterism) will cause many believers to be utterly unprepared for the difficulties we must face during the upcoming crucible. Further, because of such teachings misrepresent what is coming and why the Saints will not know what is going on and why.
Ready or not, the “End of Days” is coming with the Beast and the Mark of the Beast deceiving many before the Tribulation Period can even begin.
And I beheld Jesus opening the sixth seal, and, lo, there were great earthquakes;
And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair,
And the moon became as blood;
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
And the heaven departed and rolled up as a scroll;
And every mountain and island moved out of their places.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
And these who knew not Jesus as their Savior said to the mountains and rocks…
Fall on us,
Hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne,
And from the Wrath of the Lamb:
For the Great Day of His Wrath is come;
Who shall be able to stand?
The Sixth Seal takes place in Revelation 6:12-17 but…
The opening of the Sixth Seal is also referenced in:
Matthew 24:27–31, Mark 13:24–27, Luke 21:25–28)
Written Below is an example of what you can expect:
An incredible quake shakes the earth as the sun, moon, and stars go dark. The sky is devoid of light.
As the global earthquake subsides, a brilliant burst of light will shatter the darkness as it encompasses our world.
This brilliant luminescent display is the window of Christ’s coming!
Christ’s arrival splits the skies with a thunderous explosion of sound just as if it were lightning ripping through the heavens.
Which Way Will You Go?
Then everyone will hear the Trumpet of God as it resounds in the hearts and minds of everyone everywhere.
The voice of God will join or follow the Trump of God as Christ roars out over the skies of skies of the earth.
Every living soul will hear the Savior’s call; NONE are exempt… however, not everyone is a confessed friend of Jesus (Romans 10:9-11; John 15:14).
The Saints of God look up and begin to run towards their Savior.
This is the moment when the Rapture actually takes place with Jesus calling the saints of God skyward and to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19:6-7).
True-Believers are gathered as the Children of God soar to the skies over all the earth.
Everyone everywhere will be able to see this mighty spectacle but too few will actually ascend to the heavens at that time.
Once the Saints of God have left the earth, God’s Wrath will shortly begin (Revelation chapters 7 and 8).
No Counterfeit Accepted
The magnificent nature of Christ’s return during the Rapture will authenticate its divine origin and establish the impossibility of any real counterfeit.
Unquestioningly the unfolding of biblical and prophetic events in the here and now will further support the accuracy of God’s Word during these last days of the Church Age or Time of the Gentiles.
Even as the world witnesses the physical gathering of the Saints over all the earth and the literal coming of Christ, shortly after the Rapture non-believers will stubbornly deny the existence of the One True God, YHWH.
Though people everywhere will marvel over the calamities they have witnessed taking place during the Rapture…
Non-believers will eventually deny the Rapture and obvious move of God as they ignore Biblical connections with the horrors befalling the world at that time.
Even the Wrath of God will not bow the knees of the unrepentant.
Millions upon millions will suffer God’s judgment but none will repent. [1]
God’s Wrath and judgment are necessary components to the fulfillment of the Second Half of Christ’s Covenant (Isaiah 61:1-2; Daniel 9:24-27).
The Biblical and supernatural events unfolding around the globe today are prophecies being fulfilled.
Heedlessly, the remnant of humanity (those left behind) will simply not accept the reality of a Living God having dominion over all the earth and those who live on it.
After a very short period following the Rapture the non-believing populous of the world will simply deny the Rapture ever took place.
The secular world will invariably reject God’s inescapable, supernatural and obvious judgment on Mankind.
People will claim the Rapture was some form of mass global hysteria and attribute all reports to natural origins.
Before the one-year period of God’s Wrath is fulfilled, Man’s rebellious nature will have explained away every undeniable truth which revealed “God is” and then the LORD’s final and dreadful judgment will FALL!
One year after the Rapture the Time of the Gentiles will come to its end.
Sadly, anyone left on earth following the Rapture will die in a sinful and rebellious state.
Prophetically, none left behind will repent (Joel 3:9–17, Zechariah 13:7–9, and 14:1–15; 2 Corinthians 15:50–53; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–5:9).
[1] Revelation 9:20–21; Revelation 16:9 and 11, “… The rest of men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not …”
Are you right with Jesus?
Do you have a personal relationship with our Savior?
What will be the primary warning sign/s for YOU and other Christians to head out to the boonies/wilderness/forests/tundra/deserts WHEN the Tribulation Period begins?
What will need to take place in the world… your world before YOU will pack up and leave your city, your home and all the non-Christian family members you love and know so well?
Because you do know – don’t you – that YOU will not be able to take non-Believers with you when you jump off this immense bridge in faith, right? Without a doubt, non-believers will represent too great a danger to any Christian group fleeing the government.
When the Mark of the Beast becomes mandatory and in earnest… will YOU be able to purchase food or medical supplies, survival equipment, weapons or ammunition et cetera? Of course not!
Then what will you and your Christian family do, if you waited like so many, until the Tribulation Period began before started getting prepared?
You’ll be a tiny ship on a large ocean with no water!
