Today I want to ask you a question about the rapture. Do you
know why we might be the generation to see it? There are many
indications that we indeed are on the verge of this spectacular
event taking place, at any moment. Have you ever wondered WHY
there is a rapture? I would like to discuss it with you today
and I hope it is a blessing for you.
The rapture is not actually mentioned in the bible, but there
is an event the apostle Paul describes and you can choose your
own name for it if you like. 1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew
you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave,
where is thy victory?
It is an event that was a mystery revealed to the apostle
Paul by the Lord. We actually have a chance to "cheat fate"
as it were. We will be changed and taken out of this present
evil world to be with the Lord in the air. I can hardly wait...
But why? Why will we be lucky enough to be the ones to be taken
out of here? Remember all the saints of old and since the gospel
of grace was given to the apostle Paul? Those saints must have
looked forward to this event as well and it didn’t happen.
How is it we think WE will get to be alive and be raptured when
they did not? It’s all a question of time and the ticking
of God’s time clock. We might just be the generation to
go in the rapture for two specific reasons that I know of:
1. We are not going to be here in the day of God’s wrath.
1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath,
but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. We just simply
can’t be here! Similar circumstances happened to Lot and
His family when the angels came and removed them from Sodom
and Gomorrah. Noah and his family, type of rapture, saved from
God’s wrath upon the world. The Lord IS going to take
the righteous out of here before the tribulation begins. The
tribulation will begin with Israel signing a peace treaty or
covenant with the antichrist. It could happen any day with all
the international pressure that is upon Israel. I think there
are about 10 major elections this year as well; that will change
the face of this world as we know it as well.
What is another reason for the rapture? Have any thoughts?
It is what I have been preaching to everyone I could get to
stand still for more than five minutes, for the last 25 years.
There has to be an end to this gospel and period of grace we
live in today. Grace will NOT be preached in the tribulation.
The kingdom message of Repent and endure to the end for your
very life will be preached to a point and then Elijah will come
again and restore all things to the nation Israel and that will
be the only message there is. There is also an indication after
the two witnesses are killed and the 144,000 raptured in the
middle of the tribulation that angels will fly through the air
and preach to all men everywhere, "The Everlasting Gospel."
But men will not hear it or receive it; the bible says they
still repented not of their wickedness. (paraphrased)
The message that is being preached today in many churches is
a mix of the kingdom message and the grace message of the apostle
Paul. Peter was NOT looking for a rapture; he was looking for
the kingdom to come and that kingdom will surely come and that
message will be preached in the tribulation, people will have
to repent and endure till the end until they die a martyr’s
death the same as all the apostles did. There was a phasing
out of the kingdom message and it ended when Jerusalem was laid
waste in A.D. 70. From about 30 years before that while the
12 were preaching the Kingdom message, the message of Grace
was given to the apostle Paul on the road to Damascus in Acts
chapter 9.
Go back there and read it if you will. The book of Acts is
a "transition" period from the message of works to
the message of Grace. Please read these books and then compare
the message that the 12 were preaching to that of the apostle
Paul. They are different! If you cannot see it then I beg you
to pray until God shows it to you because it is important. You
CANNOT be saved by the message the 12 taught...today. It ended
and the message of Grace was introduced to the apostle Paul
from the Lord in Glory, AFTER the Lord was buried, died and
rose again.
The period of time we live in now is going to end someday and
when it does, those remaining here on this earth will have to
be taken out of here. Why? Because the message of Grace will
be no more after that; it will be the Kingdom message: Endure
to the end and watch for the abomination of desolation stand
in the Holy Place spoken of by Daniel the prophet and looking
for the two witnesses to come and restore all things, Looking
for the Lord of Glory to sit upon the Throne of David. From
what I can understand it will be Elijah for sure and I’m
98% certain Moses himself will be with Him to restore all things
to and only to the NATION ISRAEL....
I thank you for being here today, and I hope if you didn’t
already know it you are living in a special time today that
God has given you to trust His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who
died for your sins. Salvation is free to all men today no matter
what race, creed, or color. It is also, the only means by which
a JEW can be saved today and it is the only means by which a
MUSLIM can be saved today and it is the only means that a Buddhist
can be saved today and so on and so on... Accept what Jesus
did for you and claim it today and then go and tell as many
people about this as you can. Time is running out.
There are a few more things I would like to leave you with
today; we walk by FAITH, not by sight. Not works, not miracles
and all that. I do believe God can heal anyone He chooses at
any time, but I do not believe the "show business"
going on today. There is a lot of poison diluted doctrine flying
around out there. Get out of it and get your family out of it
before it’s too late. As long as you’re breathing,
you have a chance to accept the Lord; after that, there is nothing
anyone can do for you, it is the judgment then. No priest, including
the pope, has the power or the ability to forgive your sins
today; that is a lie straight out of hell. I’m sorry,
it is the truth.
I would also like to ask you to join me in prayer to help this
ministry grow and reach the world. I never ask for money, but
the burden is heavy and there are many people to reach out there.
I don’t need a Learjet, but I do need help to build this
site up to its full capacity and start reaching more people.
Through your help and support we have reached many countries
that we send bibles to and witness the message of Grace to many
people, whom our rich churches have turned their backs on. We
are getting the Word out and will continue to do so. Anything
you can do will help, and when you stand in the judgment to
receive your rewards, anything I have coming from all this,
then you too will be a participant. Think about: It means so
much for ONE soul to be saved! If we could reach millions, how
would that Fair with you from the Lord on your reward day. The
money we use is not for frivolous purposes. We send bibles,
King James Bibles, ONLY to people who are willing to spread
the message of Grace. I thank you, I really thank you.
Before I leave today there is one more request. I am so sorry
to put you to work, but as Christians in a dying world, our
rights are just about all gone. Can you join me in these last
days to answer letters and email congressmen about some of the
hate speech issues and so on that are threatening to take away
our ability to preach the Word. Go to this URL, it is The
American Family Association. Please get on their mailing
list; they will keep you informed on all the rights that are
being compromised or taken away from us in these last days.
It will help; don’t give up and let someone else do it
for you, because, almost NO ONE is speaking out about these
heinous onslaughts being levied against Christians. It is in
your hands, this ministry is in your hands, pray about it, then
get up and do something, join with me.
Thank you all and I love you in Christ.
Till His coming,
michael
