…if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God -1 Peter 4:16
In This World You Shall Experience Tribulation
Rom 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
The sufferings during the Great Tribulation, that we are to endure, do not compare to the end result if we faithfully endure with faith. The rewards promised to the Elect in Christ is the confirmation of our salvation and the redemption of our bodies.
Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
We wait for the adoption, transformation and salvation promised to those who are sealed (or sanctified), unto the day of redemption; this is also refereed to as our deliverance.
1 Pet 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
We in no way can lose our salvation, because upon Christ’s return one is either saved or dammed. He that endures until the end shall be saved.
1 Pet 4:12-13 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
The Great Tribulation will try our faith, but through his spirit we can endure. We take part in Christ’s suffering, as the world also hates the light that we shine, illuminating deception and exposing evil. But at his revealing we will rejoice greatly with him, for us to live is to be in Christ.
1 Pet 4:16-18 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God on this behalf. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
In order for the rapture deception to be a sellable teaching a lot of scripture needs to be re written to sell the story. The claim is that Christians are gone and the ungodly will accept Christ, even though they have rejected him beforehand, and are given unto a strong spirit of delusion. If the righteous (or elect) be scarcely saved what chance do those who are supposedly left behind have?
Rev 13:12-14 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
This second beast also referred to as the false prophet, will do amazing things and will deceive the world with real miracles and wonders, during the Great Tribulation. People (that are spiritually blind) will see and believe in this grand illusion (Rev 19:20).
Mat 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
It is easy to say you are a Christian, but it is an entirely different matter to live for Christ daily, submit to his plan and make him Lord of your life. To suffer for Christ requires not only his grace but one has to be grounded in his Word and have a real unshakeable faith. Otherwise one will fall away when the going gets tough, which it will during the Great Tribulation, and the understanding just is not there, due to deceptions lies and illusions.
Mat 13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Many who say they are believers will fall away once the antichrist comes onto the scene, with his intense persecution of those who hold fast to the truth. The fearful worldly person who puts all his emphasis on trying to save his life on this earth will loose it. However the spiritual man who sacrifices his life for Christ and the gospel will receive salvation.
2 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.
Over time gross distortions are accepted as truth. We live in this time right now!!
Christ told us that in this world many would experience fist hand the Great Tribulation, but we are to be of good cheer, as He has overcome the world. How is this even possible, to have joy in times of trouble? Without the indwelling of His Holy Spirit we can do nothing, but through His Spirit we can do all things through Christ Jesus. Having our eyes fixed on the Kingdom of Christ and our true Eternal and Spiritual Treasures, as opposed to the illusions of treasures in this present evil world, enable us to endure all things. We are more than conquerors through Christ that Loves us (Rom 8:37; John 16:33; Acts 14:22; Phl 4:13).
We Must Go Through Much Tribulation To Enter Into The Kingdom of Heaven
During the great tribulation period, the Anti-Christ and the false prophet would deceive if it were possible even (the very elect) those that are spirit filled and walking in the truth.
Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Jesus knew who among the many would claim his name, know the truth and thus be made free. When we pray “lead us not into temptation” this is not of a physical escape from being enticed by sin. When we are delivered from evil it is God’s spiritual force that keeps us from obeying the lusts of the flesh.
Likewise the message to the church in Philadelphia is spiritual in nature. It is the Holy Spirit that has always allowed God’s chosen to endure persecutions, which are contrary or foreign to those with a carnal mind.
II Th 1:4-5 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
Once we can separate ourselves from the desires and cares of this flesh and the love of this world, we can then faithfully endure the Great Tribulation that are sure to come to those of us who walk with Christ.
Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Taking verses out of context to fit a selfish desire is the new gospel interpretation method employed to deceive the hearts of the simple. If one is to read all of Luke chapter 21, it becomes clear the things we want to escape from. Deception, distress, lack of wisdom and great fear are but a few of the conditions we want to be delivered from. Interestingly enough the things that most true followers of Christ do not escape from are persecutions betrayal and death.
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
The Great TribulationThere is a heavy price to pay for adhering to the doctrines of devils. This is the work of iniquity practiced by the fearful and self-righteous; remember he who loves his life will lose it. But he that hates his life in this present evil world will receive life eternal. If we truly have faith and hope of life in Christ, then we are willing to die for the sake of Christ and the Gospel if need be, as everything else is but vanity and an illusion.
Can there be a second church referred to as the brethren, saints and fellow servants. Is the first church not to go through the Great Tribulation (contrary to what the scriptures teach), because they are more holy than the apostles and all others up to this end time, who have given their lives for the faith.
Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
If all Christians are gone before the Great Tribulation starts, please consider this group of martyr’s who are beheaded for refusing to partake in this satanic deception? Do you really think it is possible with the greatest deception ever imagined on earth that this verse refers to a group of nonbelievers who suddenly turn to Christ? Think about it seriously now! The church is gone and God is not going to allow Satan to seduce those who are already seduced, who already serve him in this world. Judgment begins at the Assembly of God.
How can this occur if the Assembly of God is removed?
Matt 13:41-42 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
The kingdom that He speaks of is the one He establishes on earth. And the ones who are taken; well it is not to heaven that’s for sure.
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
Few are ready or willing to really suffer for the sake of the Gospel. And without the understanding of the truth which is only available through the Spirit of Truth, great lies are accepted as facts.
Many who preached the True Word of God including Jesus and His prophets and apostles, who exposed those that were deceivers suffered greatly for the truth.
There is very little persecution in the false church today, as it is not a threat. It is self absorbed and self righteous.
This is also the reason that the world is not changed by this group for the better, as they have nothing to offer except enticing words based on their own wisdom, which are foolishness compared to the ones given to us by the God that spoke the world into existence.
Romans 5:3-5 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
It is only when we operate in the Truth through the Spirit that we can suffer loss and count it as gain. It is by the Spirit that we patiently wait for the hope of our Salvation through faith.
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Every time that salvation, redemption or resurrection of the believer is mentioned it is always referred to in the future tense.
One of the problems with Christianity today is that most have no hope.
How can you hope for something you claim to already possess?
By accepting the false teaching of salvation by works, wherein we are saved now by what we say, as opposed to waiting for what He has promised to reward us with at the end of this age, we miss out on an incredible journey.
We gain access to His Grace and Mercy by Faith through His Spirit, with a blessed assurance; which is the hope of our Salvation.
Our redemption (or Salvation) from the flesh and our gathering together unto Him (at the Rapture), both occur at the same time. This is what motivates us, gives us a sure hope and allows us to produce works that are approved and acceptable through the operation of His mighty power.
Gal 5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
The Gathering When We are Caught Up in The Lord After The Great Tribulation
1Thes 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
Those who speak of a return of Christ to take the church out before the great tribulation don’t look at this verse. Jesus brings those who sleep in him with him, and they receive resurrected bodies. Just as he is raised up these shall be raised up. Jesus does not bring them just to take them away again. The dead in Christ rise first, and those that are alive at His coming are caught up to meet Him; no where in scripture is it taught that we will reign in Heaven; but the elect do reign on earth with the Lord. (1Thes 4:15-17; Rev 5:10).
John 11 23-24 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
It is pretty clear from the above verse that the time when the dead in Christ rise is at the last day, not three and a half years before the last day. Yes you read it right, the great tribulation is not seven years, and there is no Anti- Christ covenant with Israel. This is revealed in a study called Daniel 9:27.
1Thes 4:16-17 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: 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.
The word caught up in the above passage, is where the misused word rapture (as far as timing is concerned) comes from. Upon Christ’s return after the Great Tribulation all true believers, who are counted as the Sons of God, will be caught up or gathered to be changed. We will be clothed in righteousness and reign with the King of Kings.
Dan 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
The prophet Daniel also speaks of the dead in Christ that rise when He returns. This is after the Great Tribulation.
1 Cor 15:52 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.
And what is the timing of this glorious event that we patiently wait for? It happens at the end of the Great Tribulation, at the last trumpet.
1Thes 5:9-10 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

From The Rapture Series -Part Three-
ALL RELIGIOUS PEOPLE SHOULD BE SENT TO THE FEMA CAMPS FOR FINAL PROCESSING!
How very prophetic of you
Many will be!!!
you know, the ten commandments are the only thing allegedly attributable to having been written by the hand of god himself.
I don’t see anything remotely connected to your ravings within his love note “ten commandments”.
The bible/torah, was written by men, men LIE! Moving on!
OH, YEA!
Let’s get GORY for god?
For, judeo-christo-CREEPS are DOORMATS in this world!
“if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God -1 Peter 4:16″
Absolute proof that it is a fake. Christianity didn’t exist until, at the earliest, 325 CE, at the council of Nicea.
