Left Behind
There are some books in print
that has it is possible to be saved after the rapture
This gives a lost person the option to wait till later for salvation.
This is a false hope.
Today is the day of salvation.
While it is true that many will be saved during the tribulation
Immediately after the rapture
atomic war will very probably wipe the United States off the map.
If you are not in the rapture you will be dead.
The man of sin will be revealed
The anti-christ will make a Covenant with many
and he will kill Christians not under the covenant.
Chick tracts are very good,
but in my opinion, this one needs to be cleaned up.
{Then What}
{others will wake up { and get saved after the tribulation starts}
Half truth
Many will stop believing in Jesus.
- ----- Beginning of sorrows
- ----- world economic collapse
- ---- USA defeated
- ---- rapture before man of sin revealed
Jesus will come and get His people
and reward His {obedient} servants
man of sin will seem to fix the world's problems
Like He saved Noah
He removed His people
before He poured out His wrath on the wicked.
- Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,
- and that ye receive not of her plagues.
After the Christians go up
most will worship the beast
{Only some people will not be deceived.} -----> Jews
God said most are fooled
because they "...believed not the truth,
but had pleasure in unrighteousness
All who reject {Jesus} (God) will be deceived
and will follow the beast
- ----- at this point in time, the Jews reject Jesus
- ----- the Jews believe in God
- ----- at Mid-tribulation the Jews will not reject Jesus
What is the tribulation?
That is 7 years when God's anger {boils over}
at the world for its evils
They will do evil all of the time,
like in Noah's day
But people who trust Jesus will be killed for their faith.
The Beast will make a {7-year} deal with Israel
and let them rebuild their temple
- ---(The anti-christ will make a Covenant with many (mainly Jews}
- ---(The rest of the world will worship the beast
- ---(or be killed.
in about 3.5 years the Beast will declare
that he is God in the new temple
and demand that the Jews worship him
No one is able to buy or sell without the mark
If he does not take the mark
he will be beheaded
if he does take the mark
he will go into the lake of fire when he dies
God will show His anger at the world' evil
by wiping out 1/3 of almost everything
God will burn up 1/3 of the trees
and all of the grass
Later He will make the islands and most mountains
sink away
God will darken the sun, moon and stars,
so they do not shine for 1/3 of the day and night
and a star will fall to the earth.
1/3 of the sea will become blood.
The star falling from heaven
will pollute 1/3 of the rivers and fountains
Those with the mark will get horrible sores,
be tormented 5 months
by monster locusts out of the pit
God wanted all of us to be with Him forever
but we all do bad things called sins
Our sins must be paid
or we can not go to heaven
God says the wages of sin is death
Only someone with no sin
could pay for anyone else's
otherwise he could only pay for his own sin
The payment for sin is called the sin offering
Jesus did not have to pay
but He offered up himself
as one sacrifice for sins for ever
He was buried for 3 days and 3 nights
then Jesus rose from the dead
Now all who place their faith in Jesus
will be forgiven of their sins
and have eternal life
When you die, you will go to heaven
and after the rapture
will receive your rewards at the Judgment Seat of Christ
and at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb
At the end of the 7 years
you will return to earth with Jesus.
When His feet touch the Mount of Olives
the mountain will split in two
making a big valley
- ---- Battle of Armageddon
- ---- first resurrection
The Beast and false prophet
will be tossed into the lake of fire
{Then all the holy angels will gather all nations into the valley that was made for Jesus to judge who is allowed into His kingdom}
- ----Satan is bound
Then Jesus will rule the whole world for 1000 years
- ---The Devil will be released and lead the world
- ---to attack Jerusalem again
Then Jesus will wipe them out
melt the universe
and judge all the dead
The saved will go to a new heaven and new earth
