Do not wait til it takes place to prepare for then it will be to late.
" Some people have told me that they do not need to get saved now. I asked them what they mean, and they told me I will accept Jesus when the rapture takes place. I don't have time to do it now. I tried to tell them when the rapture takes place it will be to late to get saved. They said they will just pray then and there and will be saved. I asked them to share a sample of their prayer. So they said,sure " Dear God..." I told them to long. Try again. They tried to say "I sinned." I..." I point out no matter what they say after the rapture, it will be to late. Today is the day of salvation....is what God tells us in his word. So they finally admit they do not want to be saved. "-Greg Laurie,radio pastor

April 2009: Only God Knows the Day,Month, and Year of the Rapture!

So many people out there want to guess the day, month,year, and very hour of the Rapture!
This is very foolish.
Not only is this foolish,but is also a sin.
Those who guess such a thing must not remember or choose to ignore what Jesus taught in Matthew Chapter 24-25 about the Second Coming. Though the Second Coming is a separate event than the rapture these facts remain the same about both events...
1. "No man knows when..." they will happen
2." No angel knows when..." they will happen
3. Jesus while during his earthly ministry did know when the rapture would happen
4. We should be prepared !
5. We should not be lazy,sitting around just looking at the sky all day,or doing nothing.
6. We should be busy praying,studying the Bible,attending a church where the Bible is taught,and inviting others to church,singing praises to God,telling others about Jesus love for them, about Jesus death on the cross for sinners, his burial and resurrection!
7. We should be a good example to others as Christians-believers in the LORD-as those who have accepted God's gift of grace and mercy, and been born again spiritually-redeemed-and saved!

Pre-Tribulation Rapture:Supported By the Bible!

There are different teachings out there about the rapture and how it fits in with the tribulation period.
These different teachings have to do with the timing of the rapture.
There are three of them to be exact.

1. Pre-tribulation Rapture
2. Mid-tribulation Rapture
3. Post tribulation Rapture

• While the Bible does not support the last two teachings, the mid-tribulation rapture and the post tribulation rapture, it does indeed support the pre-tribulation rapture teachings.
• The mid -tribulation rapture is the teaching that the rapture takes in the middle of the tribulation period.
  
• The problems with this are the following:
• 1. This puts the Church on the earth at the beginning of the tribulation period.
  
• 2. This means that Christians would have to go through the first half of the tribulation.
• 3. This goes against Jesus Christ teachings about the tribulation period in Matthew Chapters 24-25, Mark Chapter 13, Luke Chapter 21, and the Apostle Paul's teachings about there being no condemnation for the believer in Romans, and the Apostle Paul's teachings about the rapture in I Thessalonians 4:13-18.
• 4. There is no warning in the Bible for the Church on what to do during the tribulation period to avoid being killed, or any other warning for the Church at all.
• 5. No sufficient support for this teaching at all in the Old or New Testaments.
  
• The post-tribulation rapture is the teaching that the rapture takes place after the tribulation period.
• Problems with this are the following:
• 1. This puts the Church on the earth at the time of the tribulation period for the entire event.
• 2. This means that Christians would have to go through the tribulation.
• 3. This goes against Jesus Christ teachings about the tribulation period in Matthew Chapters 24-25, Mark Chapter 13, Luke Chapter 21, and the Apostle Paul's teachings about there being no condemnation for the believer in Romans, and the Apostle Paul's teachings about the rapture in I Thessalonians 4:13-18.
• 4.There is no warning in the Bible for the Church on what to do during the tribulation period to avoid being killed, or any other warning for the Church at all.
• 5. It makes no sense because the second coming of Christ takes place after the tribulation period sometime,so the Church would be raptured up only to be brought back to the earth immediately afterwords.
  
• 6. Defeats the purpose in the rapture to keep the Christians from the judgment upon those on the earth during the tribulation period.
• 7. No support for this teaching at all in the Old or New Testament.
  

Conclusion: Part A. The Pre-tribulation Rapture is the only one supported by the Bible,so it is the real deal!
Part B. If you know, you will be here for the tribulation period,you are a fraud-non believer who needs to be saved.
Part C. If you think you might be here for part or all of it,but are a believer/Christian (person who has accepted Jesus,gotten saved) already,you have not studied about the end time prophecies portrayed in the Bible enough.
Part D. If you still have doubts about the end times study the Bible prophecies about it in Revelation 11, Daniel Chapters 9,11-12,Matthew 24-25, Mark Chapter 13, I Thessalonians Chapter 4, II Peter Chapter 3, and various other Bible passages.
If you are not sure where you will be during the end times you are either a. lost,b.backslidden,or c. not into the Bible enough as a Christian.

February 2009: Rapture still to come in God's Timing!

Here it is February 2009 and the rapture has not happened.

• False teachings continue about the rapture.
• Some people mock it.-say that it is a "myth."
• Others say it has happened already.
• Still others try to predict the date and time it will take place.
• Reality: It will take place in God's timing!
• Not our timing.
• II Peter Chapter 3 is still true today when it talks about the false prophets.
  

Rapture:Make sure you are not Left Behind!

Make sure you are ready for the rapture!
You do not want to be left behind.

1. No one can get saved that is left behind when the rapture takes place that knew the truth about God's grace before hand but ignored it.
2. Once the rapture happens those left behind will be deceived by the anti-christ during the tribulation period.
3. The Rapture of the Church is when the saved who did not die before it will be taken away to Heaven!
4. Be ready for the Rapture!

Rapture=Babies,those with Christ in thier heart gone!

• The rapture means that the Church in the biblical sense will disappear!
  
• So will the Holy Spirit (Comforter) Jesus told his disciples about a lot in the New Testament.
• It also means that babies and others not at the age of accountability (old enough to understand yet about salvation) will disappear too!
• Those who reject Christ that have not died and gone to hell before the rapture will be left behind for the tribulation period.
• Make sure you are 100% ready for the rapture,so you can be 100% gone when the tribulation takes place.
• No one wants to be around during the tribulation!
• Don't just take my word for it though.
• Read the Bible!
• Pray to God!
• Watch and be ready!
• Accept Jesus Christ today if you have not already!
• Don't risk being left behind whenever the rapture takes place (in God's timing)!
  
  
  

Praying for the Rapture to come!

Praying for the rapture to come!
I am looking forward to it,more and more as the days, nights, weeks, and months go by!
The rapture will be great!
There are no taxes in heaven, no bills to pay, and no sin there!
"Rapturo" -rapture sounds really great!
being "caught up together" -vanishing,disappearing suddenly and being in heaven with God sounds exciting
I Thessalonians 5:16-18 is one of my favorite Bible passages ever.

Rapture: False Predictions about It:Beware!

• Beware of False predictions about the rapture!
  
• Don't be fooled!
  
• There is this man named Wayne Bent a leader of the occult who has predicted many times what year and date the LORD would return and so on.
  
• He is not to be trusted.
  
• He claimed "On October 31,2oo8 the LORD will return to earth."
  
• Now here it is 2009!
  
• His disappointed followers asked him what happened and he says he was off on his prediction by three years.
  
• Now he says that "I made a miscalculation somehow last time. For sure the LORD will return in 20012."
  
• This man is totally off by a long shot.
  
• " No one knows when the LORD will return..." except for the LORD himself according to Matthew Chapter 24 and various other New Testament passages.
  
• This Bent man is a liar and fraud and not to be trusted.
• The Bible tells us in the same passage that the LORD's return will be..."...at an hour we least expect him he will return..."
• So stop listening to this frauds predictions about the future and listen to God!
• Read the Bible!
• The Bible has the truth about the LORD's return in it!
  
• The Bible has the truth about the rapture mentioned in I Thessalonians Chapter 5 verses 16-18!
