THERE IS NO “RAPTURE”/3RD
RESURRECTION, There is a great misconception and heresy going on today! The unlearned and perhaps lower IQ people are proclaiming things that they don't understand and are not true. They are becoming false witnesses. Since man has to die, man has to be resurrected to live with Christ. (See I Corinthians 15: 12-34.) However, contrary to the Scripture, the deceivers are predicting a different or 3rd resurrection-like event/ “rapture” only in the form of an alive collective body being raised up before the great tribulation. The Bible speaks of only two resurrections in verse I Cor. 15: 23: the “firstfruits” and “afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.” I know of no alive collective body anastasis except at the end (I Thessalonians 4:17), at Christ's coming: “14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For 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. 16For 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: 17Then 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. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (I Thessalonians, chapter 4) The Greek word for resurrection is anastasis. It means a rising up, and in I Cor. 15:12, specifically from the dead. It is used in Paul's chapter 15 ideology as when a person has died, then has raised up or is going to be raised up from death, not raised up while living except at the end (mentioned above: I Thessalonians 4:17). The Apostle Paul also told us in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 that the anti-Christ appearing in the temple must come first before the Lord appears. Therefore, chronologically, anyone will have to see the anti-Christ first before he can be raised up because the impostor will be revealed before the Lord destroys him. The coming of Christ will be one of the last things, so plan on seeing great tribulation if you plan to meet Jesus alive. |

THE STATE OF THE PRE-TRIB NATION:

Many have not only become deceived and are subverted by heretical, eschatological teachers, but also have been misled especially concerning the marriage institution and purity. Ideological subversion, not only Communistic but theological, seems to have taken place. The erring people can hear the message against their fornication, but they don't repent. This is very scary. Preachers and teachers have been stunted as to theological growth and the promotion of purity and marriage. Remarriage and repentance was argued over a century ago in the USA. In the early 1900's people were still conflicted by judicial courts and unknowledgeable preachers. The legal and political atmosphere concerning marital purity and body cleanliness became more loose. In the 50's, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts became famous as to evangelism and healing but both became heretics. They both condoned and promoted remarriage. Graham had an influence on David Wilkerson, and Roberts on Kenneth Copeland. Pat Robertson and John MacArthur followed suit more blatantly with their own ideas of acceptable fornication and remarriage. Unchaste women who legally marry merely extend their fornication; they are not sanctified. Of course, no form of immorality whether fornication or adultery is acceptable. Jesus Christ restored monogamy and purity as it was with Adam and Eve. Today, we have conflicts with homosexuality and polyandry in the mainstream churches. The people have become so beaten up with perfidious, theological propaganda that they have become insensitive and don't critique the lies that are poured upon them. Children have been raised up in a biblically ignorant world, even though they have been hammered with the sacraments excuses and protestant heresies. Nevertheless, there is still time to repent! |
