DEBUNKING THE RAPTURE THEORY

We are running out of time, and I will not take into consideration hurting anyone’s feelings anymore. We have seven trumps and we are already in the fifth. The rapture theory is a false doctrine that was invented in 1831 by what Wikipedia calls a visionary Margaret McDonald. She was not a visionary, but rather a mental patient in the UK.

Three pastors John Darby (rapture doctrine) and Margaret’s two brothers James and George McDonald who invented the speaking of tongues. Thinking they would become national heroes, they were soon found to be fraudulent. Margaret would say later that she felt Darkness with this dream. So then why do ninety percent of the churches in America today teach these forms of false doctrines?

At the sixth trump the whole world is deceived, and there will be a falling away from worshipping God to worshipping Satan. In today’s study we will see what God’s Word has to say about this, without the traditions of men.

Pastors that teach the rapture doctrine always start with 1Thessalonians 4:17, overlooking the subject that is brought in at verse 13, here is where we will start, 1Thessalonians 4 and verse 13 reads.

1Thes.4:13] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

Understand he says ignorant, unlearned. This word asleep means; dead. Even as the heathen have no hope in life everlasting, because they do not believe in God as we do. We see here we are talking about Where are the dead.

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 die believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God have overcome and will make up that great army that Christ brings back with him at the seventh trump.

1Thes.4:15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

Don’t overlook this is the Word of the LORD. Those who are alive at the sixth trump cannot precede, prevent, those who have already died. Why? Because those that have died are already with him. Let’s go to Ecclesiastes 12 and verse 6 reads.

Ecc.12:6] Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
[7] Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Instantly when the flesh dies the spirit returns to the Father. No one is left in a hole in the ground. These are those that Jesus brings back with him in his great army. Back to 1Thessalonians 4 and verse 16 reads.

1Thes.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:

At the seventh trump, the last trump. Satan comes at the sixth trump. Six comes before seven, it’s called math, learn the trumps. The dead have already risen, notice the colon.

1Thes.4:17] 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.

Here is where the churches go wrong. In a cloud is in a group, have you ever seen a cloud of black birds, or a cloud of locusts? Paul spoke street Greek, let’s look at another of Paul’s writings, let’s go to Hebrews 12 and verse 1 reads.

Heb.12:1] Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

We can now see this cloud is a group. Then we have In the air, it should have been translated Spirit. Now we can read it as it should be read. Those of us left in these end times, at the seventh trump, shall be caught up in the spirit to our Lord Jesus Christ. Isn’t that simple, back to 1Thessalonians 4 and verse 18 reads.

1Thes.4:18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Comfort yourselves with the Word of God, and not with the traditions of men. Where did they get the rapture doctrine out of this chapter, we just read it has to do with where are the dead. Traditions of men that make void the Word of God. Let’s go to Jeremiah 17 and verse 5 reads.

Jer.17:5] Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
[6] For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
[7] Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

Now if these pastors really wanted to know how it will be at the end times, they should have flipped the page, and we will. Let’s go to 2Thessalonians 2 and verse 1 reads.

2Thes.2:1] Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
[2] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

Don’t let that last letter from us deceive you because of false teachers, here is how it will be when Christ returns.

2Thes.2:3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

In Mark 13:5 the first thing Jesus tells us when asked about the end times is let no man deceive you by any means. Then comes the falling away, and Satan. When Satan comes at the sixth trump the whole world worships him thinking he is the Christ. But they have been deceived. Some would be teachers will tell you that this son of perdition is Judas, it’s not. It is Satan, who’s name in the Greek is Apollyon G684 and means; to perish or be destroyed. Only one person has been sentenced by name to death and that is Satan, Ezekiel 28, but many others will follow.

2Thes.2:4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

This is the antichrist, Satan, at the sixth trump. The second beast of Revelation 13:11, only he will claim to be Christ and call himself God.

2Thes.2:5] Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
[6] And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
[7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

Let’s look at this word Letteth, G2722 katechō pronounced kat-ekh’-o, and means; 1. He that which hinders, Antichrist from making his appearance. That could only be the Archangel Michael who holds Satan in heaven right now. At the sixth trump Michael and his angels kick Satan and his angels out of heaven. Let’s go to Revelation 12 and verse 7 reads.

Rev.12:7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
[9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Do not overlook his angels are cast out with him, these are the seven thousand from Genesis 6, that receive their damnation in Jude 1:6, and is confirmed in Revelation 11:13. Back to 2Thessalonians 2 and verse 8 reads.

2Thes.2:8] 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:

All knees will bow at the coming of the True Christ, and many will pray for mountains to fall on them out of embarrassment. Because, out of deception, they worshipped Satan, and he has been revealed as that Wicked one.

2Thes.2:9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
[10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

They have left their first love, The Word of God.

2Thes.2:11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
[12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Because they did not read God’s Word, and were deceived by man, God will send them strong delusions. Study to show thyself approved. 2Tim.2:15. We see this today in our world, some don’t even know if they are a man or a woman.

2Thes.2:13] But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
[14] Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[15] Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Called to his Word, chosen out of this world for his purpose, to stand against Satan with the gospel armor on. Not fly away, but STAND. Now about this word epistle, let’s go to the second epistle of John, 2John 1 and verse 10 reads.

2John 1:10] If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
[11] For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Don’t even tithe to them or you are a partaker of their evil deeds. Get out of that church, and shake off the dust of your feet. Back to 2Thessalonians 2 and verse 16 reads.

2Thes.2:16] Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
[17] Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

Now we have the truth of how it will happen at the sixth and seventh trump. What the rapture teachers are hiding from their congregation, and I think purposefully, is Ezekiel 13 and verse 16 reads.

Eze.13:16] To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.

These are the false teachers, false prophets. To wit is a legal terminology that is a warning to those that teach falsely. Read this carefully, the prophets which see visions of peace. Those who teach an escape route from the hour of temptation, there will be no peace, there is no escape except through his Word, this is your gospel armor.

Eze.13:17] Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,

They are not prophesying God’s Word, but their own thoughts.

Eze.13:18] And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?

Sow pillows mean to cover God’s outstretched saving arms. This means they are hiding the truth from their congregation. In the Hebrew this is very specific, it says every digit of my hands meaning even the knuckles. Let’s go to Psalms 44 and verse 3 reads.

Psa.44:3] For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

Their arms can’t save them, only God’s can. It is Jesus that sits on his right hand, only Jesus can save you. Jesus, Yahoveh’s Savior. Back to Ezekiel 13, pay attention because this is why we came here, and verse 19 reads.

Eze.13:19] And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?

They do this for money, maybe even a pension. God is calling them liars.

Eze.13:20] Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.

God has exposed the rapture doctrine here. He is against it. Written 2,500 years ago this would be taught to deceive his children. He has warned against it with his Word.

Eze.13:21] Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
[22] Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
[23] Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

They will feel his wrath. May God reward them according to their works. They will cause good Christians to pray for mountains to fall on them out of shame. They will gnash their teeth because they were lied to and make strong the hands of the wicked that they will not repent. This is why we here at TheChristMinistries.org use the King James Version Bible. We can take every word back to the Hebrew or Greek and see what exactly was written in the language in which it was written. The rapture doctrines false teachers have written their own bible to align with their lies. The NIV has changed God’s Word to fit their narrative, to rapture. Grab a NIV and prove me right. Before we go, let’s read what Jesus has to say in Luke 12 and verse 2 reads.

Luke 12:2] For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
[3] Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

They will try and hide the truth from God’s children, but his Elect will reveal it to the world.

Luke 12:4] And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
[5] But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Fear God, revere him and don’t be afraid of what man can do to you. Drop down to verse 10 with me, and it reads.

Luke 12:10] And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

This is the unpardonable sin, to not let the Holy Spirit speak through you when you are delivered up to Satan. What is said next is our destiny, the reason for us being born at this time.

Luke 12:11] And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

When we are delivered up to the synagogue of Satan. Christ has not yet come.

Luke 12:12] For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

God’s Elect pay attention, don’t premeditate what you will say, it isn’t you that speaks. But the Holy Spirit will give it to you in that hour, that you speak. Jesus did not tell us anywhere we would be raptured away, on the contrary he said we would STAND with the gospel armor on and the Holy Spirit would speak through us. The rapture doctrine causes God’s children to fly right into Satan’s arms at the sixth trump. This in itself shows that the rapture doctrine is evil, and should be taught that it is evil. Let’s go to his throne.

Father, we thank you for your word and ask that you bless all that love you in Jesus’s precious name, Amen.
