One of the greatest deceptions that the enemy has pulled off is in convincing God's people of a pre-tribulation rapture scenario. I had also been carried away by this myth; but God, because of His mercy alone, has opened my eyes to the plain truth of scripture.
This false doctrine of a pre-trib rapture really only began in the 1830's through a preacher named Darby. It was later greatly advanced throuth the Scofield Reference Bible, first published in 1909. Since that time, many have taken Scofield's notes as Bible interpretation, when in fact they are nothing more than commentary. A full 3 generations have now been indoctrinated into the Scofield "dogma"; so that it is impossible, without the Lord's intervention, for them to understand scripture in any way other than what they have been taught.
A pre-trib rapture is a popular concept: but it fits well within the warning God gave us in II Tim. 4:3,4;
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."
God's Word plainly tells us that no prophecy of the scriptures is of any private interpretation (II Pet. 1:19,20). Yet that is precisely what has happened with the pre-trib rapture theory! Prior to the advancement of this idea, it was commonly accepted that the Lord would call His people home at the end of said "tribulation" period, shortly before the 2nd coming at the battle of Armageddon. This is indicated plainly in passages like Luke 17:26-37.
WHY does it matter? Certainly, the belief in what point at which Christ returns will not effect our salvation; or will it?For those that I am bringing this warning message to, most of you have already been saved by grace, through faith in the atoning work of Jesus' precious blood on Calvary. That is a great beginning, but there will be a vast difference for all concerned by the timing of these events.
Believe me; I would truly, deeply, sincerely appreciate a pre-trib rapture! But though I take my stand according to the Bible, it is also the more logical approach. If I believe that this event will come at the end, then I am preparing for the worst, through Jesus Christ. If it turns out that I am wrong, the Lord takes me home earlier: that is gain for me!
Yet if one believes in the early rapture, and they are wrong, then they will not be prepared for resisting the Antichrist, with all of his lying signs and wonders (II Thess. 2:9,10).
In spite of this big introduction, I am not purposed to convincing anyone against the pre-trib rapture idea. As one of God's watchmen, it is my duty to WARN. I trust that God the Holy Spirit will continue to work in you to ultimately show you the truth of the scriptures. No future prophecy can ever be known accurately in advance, but only after the event has taken place (John 16:4a, one small example). That is why Jesus so emphasized our need to watch (Mark 13:33-37). Links will be provided at the end for further study.
Whether or not you believe in the pre-trib rapture, by itself, is not the issue at hand. Being prepared, through diligent watching and prayer is what is of the utmost importance. I want to take this opportunity to warn my brethren in Christ of what I see potentially happening in the very near future...
My studies have brought me to focus primarily on one specific event, which is World War III. This war has been planned for at least 140 years, and we are in the beginning phases of this war right now The nuclear aspect, which we all rightly dread, will soon be forthcoming. It is my opinion that the Bible speaks of this war in Revelation 9:13-19.
It is the stated goal of the Illuminati and Freemasons (groups working for global government) that three world wars can be used to bring about a New World Order (Letter from Albert Pike to Mazzini, 1871). The first 2 world wars have already played out as prescribed, and now the 3rd one is set for launch. This event is meant to utterly destroy the system of sovereign national governments currently in place, and to finally convince a devastated world population to accept global governance as the needed remedy to bring about peace: never realizing that those same powers stepping in to offer us peace were the same ones which previously brought about their destruction!
It will be at this time, through this system that antichrist will arise. He will "return" in spectacular fashion, posing as the universal messiah for all religions. Uniting the world's religions is another necessary step that the globalists have foreseen. Without the common religious base, all other efforts would be in vain.
Through the use of a variety of advanced technologies, such as HAARP, we will know great earthquakes, have a false 2nd coming of "Christ" according to the various major religions, and even have the "voice of God" resounding in our minds, as if by telepathy. Are you sure that you will be ready for such a powerful deception? Do not continue to underestimate our adversary the devil!
The desperate condition of the world will easily make mankind receptive to a returning messiah, one that promises peace. Yet even the great majority of professing Christian churches will accept him as real. The ongoing destruction of God's Word by the esteemed professors at our Bible colleges, as well as by most every church pastor, will remove the solid ground upon which believers need to build their spiritual houses (Matt. 7:24-27). This is why I push so hard for the King James Bible; it is for our welfare that God has preserved His words (Ps. 12:6,7), and it is this solid ground that will ultimately redeem us.
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." -Rom. 10:17.
There is actually an antichrist candidate among us, moving stealthily about under the name of the new-age Christ, MAITREYA. He is here on Earth right now, soon to be revealed in the more grandiose manner that we all expect (one that Satan will thrill to!). Remember this about the real Christ's return, from Revelation 1:7; every eye shall see Him, and the people will wail (mourn). When the false christ comes, him they will welcome.
All of these drastic events/deceptions will swing into full gear with World War III. I expect that we are very close to the full outbreak of this war, and the reign of antichrist. Really, it could come at any given time now, but I personally expect that within 6 months we will have the reign of antichrist. Any time delayed from that is only by the merciful longsuffering of our God (II Peter 3:9); yet these events, or near approximations of them, will certainly come to pass in the very near future. Are you ready to suffer for your Lord?
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." -Rev. 12:11.
The buildup to WWIII is being followed, somewhat primitively, on our blog; http://watchmanswarnings.blogspot.com/. The beginning blogs, starting with the stated Mission and proceeding through, How Real is the Threat of WWIII?, lay a good groundwork.
Other helpful articles can be found on our website, http://www.heedthewatchmen.com//. I also highly recommend the book in pdf, Reinventing Jesus Christ: the New Gospel.; authored by Warren Smith.
Several videos also worth watching are;
- Project Blue Beam
- The Enemy Within
- The Fall of the Republic
Satan is a serious foe, and we are about to be subjected to the wildest, most destructive time that the Earth has ever known. In spite of that, this also means that the SALVATION we hope and long for is very near to completion. Hold fast, brethren; prove all things. The remaining time is far shorter than we had imagined.
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Revelation 3:2
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Revelation 2:10
