Will You Be Here During The Tribulation?
Greetings in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for everyone that visits this site, and I hope you can leave here with strength you didn't have before. The purpose of this ministry is to dispel false doctrine and to clarify which doctrine in the Bible is written directly to you. The Bible is all written for our admonition and learning, but a lot of the Bible was written specifically to the Jews, then after their fall, to the Gentiles, then to all men. During the tribulation, people will be under the law again and have to endure to the end to be saved. That is not the case today. Today, we are saved by grace through faith and not of works lest any man should boast.
I talk to so many people today that think, 1. They are either the Nation Israel, or must observe their teaching of the law as in Matthew through John and from Hebrews through the tribulation. It is fascinating to me that they skip over the very gospel by which all men can be saved today and that is the Books of the Apostle Paul, From Romans through Philemon that were given to the Apostle Paul from the Lord in Glory-- After Christ had ascended up into the Heavens and Gave it to Paul on the road to Damascus and through his ministry by way of several other "appearings" to Paul.
I talk to people that either don't believe in a rapture or they believe that they will be raptured in the beginning of the tribulation, halfway through it, or at the end when all things that offend are cleaned out so the Lord can establish His Kingdom here on earth for the thousand year reign.
Let's take some concrete examples from God's Holy Word to see who we are today and what will happen to us in the future. This is going to be very hard for some of you if you are only going to try to defend your denomination, if, as I have asked you so many times, will just open your mind and believe what the bible says, as it says it, where it says it. This King James Bible is written in perfect 6th grade English so that even someone like me can understand it. If properly taught a six year old child can also understand it.
It has been my experience through the years, if people really want to know the truth of God instead of what their denomination teaches, they can see the truth. I warn you, it might cause you to leave your present church, but if you study God's Word, Rightly Divided, it will become clear, crystal clear to you, and once you have seen the truth, you can listen to someone preach and instantly you can tell if they are on the right track or not. I would like to tell you today, all roads do not lead to Christ, people who believe that are usually in some form of spirituality, mystical worship or something along those lines. It is basically. IDOLATRY.
I am not here today to make you angry, I am here today to do my very best job with my heart and a King James Bible to bring you out of the dark and into the light. Once you see it, you will never go back, I can assure you.
The biggest problem I see in the churches today is denominationalism, according to the Bible, this should not be, at least in the state it is today. I do not tear down other churches, I try to show people that they are not receiving the truth in most cases and let them decide if that is the path they want to take or move out from it into the Grace period we are in today. I will, at some point, have to give an account to God for each word I have written to you day and all other messages I have written. I have your blood on my hands if I am wrong, so you can believe that I am doing my best to show you truths that freed me from a denomination many years back. I do not have this ministry to ask you for money, It would shock you to know how little we have to keep bibles going to Nigeria and to individuals who ask for them, this is the truth, I have been on the net for over two years; in all that time, I have received less than $100 from individuals to help us in this ministry. Shocking isn't it? A large problem with television ministries is that they start out such as I have and I believe those people had the best intentions to be a huge witness for the Lord, then, the bills started coming in, then do you know what the message is now, Sunday after Sunday? It's money.
I believe if the Lord has called me to start a ministry, then no matter how small, it will grow, the money will come or not, and I will keep this ministry up as long as I possibly can. Enough on that.
I would like to first show you today a profound reality in order to establish that Paul's Gospel and Peter's gospel are two different Gospels. The simplest way to do that is to have you open your bible and take Matthew through Acts in one hand and fold down the pages of the Books of the Apostle Paul, Romans through Philemon, then begin reading from Matthew through Acts, then when you are finished there, read Hebrews through Revelations. It will be a seamless read. Why, Those books were written to a New Priesthood, a New Nation, the Nation Israel, and they all look for the Kingdom to come at the end of the tribulation. Peter and the Apostles were looking for the antichrist to come and expected to go right into the tribulation. This is all prophesied in the Old Testament.
Now I want you to read Romans through Philemon and see if there is a difference, I can assure you that it is, a BIG difference.
Peter looked forward to The Lion Roaring out of Zion that would turn away ungodliness for Israel and there would be a fountain of blood open there for the forgiveness of their sins, Peter will be saved as well as the other apostles and the New church at Jerusalem at the second coming of Christ. Believe it or not, it is true.
Paul, looks back to the cross for our salvation, we are saved right now and looking for that blessed hope. These were all MYSTERIES hid in God from BEFORE the foundation of the world. They could not be traced out in Old Testament scriptures.
Peter's salvation is a physical one, a living body on the face of the earth, judging 12 tribes of Israel, a Nation of priest, as it is written all Israel shall be saved.
Paul teaches that our salvation is spiritual and not of this world, we have all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. This world is not going to be ours to inherit, if you suffer with Christ, you will reign with Christ, but in a spiritual body. They are two entirely different Gospels, folks.
Peter preached a murder indictment against Israel, "You have by wicked hands crucified the Son of the Living God." After this pricked their hearts they asked, "What must we do?" Peter told them to repent and be baptized for REMISSION of sins. Remission is NOT forgiveness. It is as if their sins are put on hold until the fountain of blood is opened in Jerusalem.
If you notice Peter didn't know that when Christ died, he died for their sins. I know a lot of people that preach about Peter but they never seem to make this connection.
The Lord told Peter to put up his sword, it is for this hour I came into the world. Peter was trying to prevent the death of the Lord and was rebuked twice for doing it.
Paul preached, Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the gospel. What was that Gospel that Paul preached that was so different for that of Peter? It is this 1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which you also have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which ye are also saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 5 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures;
We that are saved by grace are saved now, today, our kingdom is spiritual, we are sealed by the Holy Spirit looking forward to the day when we will be caught up in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Below are scripture references that will help you should you take the time to prayerfully read them, it is for your health, Soul, state of mind and understanding the Word of God Rightly divided as we are told to do.2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Why would the Lord tell Paul that? For one thing it seems to imply some type of judgment, probably for a crown. The other thing I expressed earlier is that the gospels are not the same, all things are written for our admonition and learning but all things aren't written directly unto you. I know there are those who will say, well, we preach the whole council of God. I praise God that you do, but do you tell your parishioners that if they follow the teachings that the Lord was giving to the New Nation of Israel at that time is not for us today? No, you don't. Do you tell your parishioners that the only way a man can be saved today is that through the Apostle Paul? No, you don't. Most of you are teaching to keep the law even though it was removed at the cross, do good works and endure to the end to be saved or a mixture of all these run together and the throw in the gospel of the Grace of God found in Romans through Philemon to keep you sheep under a law and keep them walking the Isles and repenting for something they are already forgiven for at Calvary in A.D. 33, to keep them under you thumb so you can bring in money into that church. Preacher, I'm talking to you, are you doing this to your people? If you are, there is a verse in proverbs that states, "there is a way that seemeth right unto man but the end thereof is death."
Preacher, are you teaching your flock that all the people that have been saved by Jesus dying for our sins on the cross is the only means of salvation available unto man today? All, All, the people that have been saved by grace through faith, got that message from the Apostle Paul when it was revealed to him directly from the Lord in Glory, there is no other salvation whereby men can be saved today. It is NOT through the message of the 12.
Preacher, are you telling your people the truth? Do you think if you do they will all go off and live in sin? Are you afraid of losing your job because if you rightly divided the word of truth they would fire you and put someone in your place to tickle the ears of the people and preach what they want to hear? Preacher, you are a man of authority, take a stand for the Lord and preach the truth, not only are you sending people to hell Sunday after Sunday you are preaching there is no rapture. Those people will be left behind here and then the only way anyone can be save is by enduring to the end when they have their heads cut off for not accepting the system of the antichrist, and it is very possible that if they miss the message of grace, they will enter into the tribulation and be given strong delusion that they might believe a lie and be damned, why? Because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved.

With all that said I want to get to the 2nd crux of the message today.
The Rapture, you may call it whatever you will, but it is real and it is going to happen. If, If, you are saved by grace this will apply to you, If you are following or under any other gospel in this day and age, you are simply lost and that's all there is too it.
You will NOT go through the tribulation if you are saved.
1 Thess. 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thess. 4:16 For 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: 17 Then 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.
This is all the believers who have died in Christ who have received that message of Grace through the apostle Paul, only those, the rest will not be raised from the dead, i.e., the New Nation that was formed in Acts through Peter until the 2nd coming of the Lord. Then the thousand year reign and the at the Great White throne Judgment, all the rest will be raised from the dead to be judged, the ones that are already in hell will be taken out and judged and then thrown back into hell.
This is Paramount that you see what I am about to write here, if you will just think for a moment.
Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that we have received, let him be accursed.
That includes the gospel of the circumcision, and all other gospels on the face of the earth, sorry, it's true. One more very important point here. In the tribulation, "angels" will be preaching unto men at that time, you can most certainly bet it will not be the message of grace, when the church is taken out of here, that will come to an end. So, if we were to go into the tribulation there would be 2 things wrong, 1. The verse just stated that though we OR an angel from heaven preach any other gospel, let them be accursed. You see the angels are preaching in the tribulation because the gospel will be different, if we were to go through there, that would mean we have been saved by grace and now have a chance to receive another gospel, that just can't be so, do you know why, I will tell you... Because all the people that go into the tribulation that received not the love of the truth that they might be saved, will be given strong delusion, believe a lie and be damned.
2Thess. 2:11. The other thing is the antichrist cannot take control of the world as long as the Body Of Christ is here.
2 Thess. 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work; only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.
We simply cannot be here.
Folks, I have given you my very best tonight. If you have your doctrine straight, you can begin to grow in the Lord, don't be tossed about with every wind of doctrine, we should all be in unity, and see the same things. We are the body of Christ, and there is none other like it. I pray, if you are under the law to move away from it, we live in a period of time that all men can be saved today by simply trusting what Christ did for us when He died on the cross, he forgave our sins, past, present and future.
I would like to add a few more notes, those people in the tribulation have to endure to the end or they will lose their salvation, you cannot lose yours, you are sealed by the Holy Spirit and it is a matter of Record with the Lord. You will not be forgotten, even if you get so low, you forget HIM. How can anyone pass that up? It is beyond my comprehension.
The things that have befallen this world in the last two short months are beyond belief, they will get even worse. Prepare to meet thy God.
I love you all in Christ.
