DO NOT BE DECEIVED by the “rapture” doctrine!
“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the [DEATH OF HIS SAINTS]” (Psalm 116:15).
We are therefore most assured by word of God that there is NO RAPTURE to escape death in the End of Years since the SAINTS who are killed will be the FIRSTFRUITS in the FIRST PHASE to be redeemed to Heaven (Matthew 24:1-31)!
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but [AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT]” (Hebrews 9:27).
“[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?” (1 Peter 4:17-18).
“Behold, he putteth [NO TRUST IN HIS SAINTS]; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. [HOW MUCH MORE ABOMINABLE AND FILTHY IS MAN], which drinketh iniquity like water?” (Job 15:15–16).
For those among us holding on to false hope of the so called “rapture of the church” or “rapture of believers” to escape the Great period of tribulation, once again, please take heed of the redemption plan of God.
The Apostle Paul clearly pointed out God’s redemption plan when he said: “Christ the [FIRSTFRUITS]; afterward they that are Christ’s at [HIS COMING]” (1 Corinthians 15:23).
Who are the FIRSTFRUITS?
Before the end of time, there will be One hundred and Forty-four thousand (144,000) SAINTS or Servants of God and of the Lamb who are sealed in their foreheads when the fifth seal is opened who will be KILLED and will be the FIRSTFRUITS REDEEMED from the earth (Revelation 6:9-11: 14:4-5).
“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, how long, O Lord, Holy and true, dost thou not judge and [AVENGE OUR BLOOD] on them that dwell on the earth? 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” (Revelation 6:9–11).
“These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were [REDEEMED] from among men, being the [FIRSTFRUITS] unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God” (Revelation 14:4-5).
“And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but [THE HUNDRED AND FORTY AND FOUR THOUSAND, WHICH WERE REDEEMED FROM THE EARTH]” (Revelation 14:1–3).
“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12).
In the COMING End of Years every human being must keep faithful just as the 144,000 servants from the 12 tribes of Israel (Revelation 14:4), who are the saints or the “…priests of God and of Christ…” (Revelation 20:6) who are “…beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands…” (Revelation 20:4).
Our Lord Jesus provided us with comfort to NOT FEAR the COMING End of Years, says: “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall [KILL] you: and ye shall be [HATED] of all nations for my name’s sake” (Matthew 24:9).
“[AND YE SHALL BE BETRAYED BOTH BY PARENTS, AND BRETHREN, AND KINSFOLKS, AND FRIENDS]; and some of you shall they [CAUSE TO BE PUT TO DEATH]. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. “But [THERE SHALL NOT A HAIR OF YOUR HEAD PERISH]. In your patience possess ye your souls” (Luke 21:16–19).
“[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).
“[NO MAN CAN COME TO ME], except the Father which hath sent me draw him: [AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY]” (John 6:44).
“[FEAR NOT, LITTLE FLOCK; FOR IT IS YOUR FATHER’S GOOD PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM]” (Luke 12:32).
“I am with you alway, [EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD]. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).
IMMEDIATELY AFTER the Great Tribulation when Jesus returns with his father’s Holy Angels ans the One Hundred and Forty Four thousand saints (Jude 1:14-15) for the Day of Judgment then all the REMAINING FRUITS both Jews and Gentiles (all those risen dead and alive in Christ) will be redeemed from this earth to Heaven (Matthew 25:31–34) (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) (1 Corinthians 15:23) (Revelation 7:9).
“[THEN COMETH THE END], when he shall have [DELIVERED UP] the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power” (1 Corinthians 15:24).
“Finally, my brethren, [BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT]” (Ephesians 6:10).
“[KEEP YOURSELVES IN THE LOVE OF GOD, LOOKING FOR THE MERCY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST UNTO ETERNAL LIFE]” (Jude 1:21).
“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God” (Hebrews 3:12).
“But exhort one another [DAILY], while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast [UNTO THE END]” (Hebrews 3:13-14).
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians 13:14).
