Rapture

Rapture of the saints

All saints, not just the Church

will be caught up to heaven

and then tribulation for seven years on the earth.

The first three and a half years will be tribulation

the last will be great tribulation

It is completely erroneous to say

that the first three and half years of the Tribulation

are not part of the wrath of God.

and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

2020

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

There will be a worldwide economic collapse

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.

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.

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:

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.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:

only he who now letteth will let,

he is the Holy Spirit

until he be taken out of the way.

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed,

The antichrist

The man of sin

whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth,

<ref>

and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

2 Thessalonians 2:7

The Holy Spirit is a person that will be taken out of the way

at the rapture.

The Church and all of the saints will be taken up,

then the antichrist will be revealed.

Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,

and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Revelation 18.4

10 And then shall many be offended,

and shall betray one another,

and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall rise,

and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn,

which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.

Daniel 12

1 ...shall Michael stand up,

the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people:

and there shall be a time of trouble,

4 ... many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Daniel 9.27

He will make a Covenant with many - Israel

• a promise of protection

He will help them rebuild the Temple <ref>

Mark of the beast

Everyone must take his mark

or they can not buy or sell

and he will kill them.

If one takes the mark

he can not be saved.

If any man worship the beast and his image,

and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,

which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation;

and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels,

and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever:

and they have no rest day nor night,

who worship the beast and his image,

and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Crafts will prosper

Daniel 8

25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand;

Business will go on with those with the mark

Some think the Old Testament saints

have already been taken up.

When Jesus rose from the dead

graves were opened <ref>

and the went into the city,

but they probably died again.

Did Lazarus die again?

Revelation 14.9 .... third angel ... If any man ... receive his mark ...

and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days,

At the mid-point (3.5 years) will start the Great Tribulation

Daniel 8

Daniel 8.11 ... and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away,

The prophet Daniel predicts an atrocity in the temple in the end times

Daniel 9:27;

Daniel 11:31;

Daniel 12:11

Daniel’s prophecy concerns a coming ruler

who will cause the offerings to cease in the temple

and set up “an abomination that causes desolation.”

While what Antiochus Epiphanes did certainly qualifies as an abomination,

Jesus speaks of Daniel’s prophecy as having a still-future fulfillment

Matthew 24:15–16;

Mark 13:14;

Luke 21:20–21

The Antichrist will model Antiochus Epiphanes in his great pride,

blasphemous actions, and hatred of the Jews.

Devil makes war Revelation 12

7 And there was war in heaven:

is thrown out of heaven with no place for him

8 And prevailed not;

neither was their place found any more in heaven.

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle,

that she might fly into the wilderness,

into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time,

from the face of the serpent.

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness,

where she hath a place prepared of God,

that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Jews recognize Christ

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman,

and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,

which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Mount of Olives splits in half

Zechariah 14:4

3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east,

and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west,

and there shall be a very great valley;

and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

The people can escape

5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains;

for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal:

yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:

LORD and all the saints

and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
