This is more excellent analysis of the pre-trib rapture hoax and who it was perpetrated by. I know you have all probably seen this already, but it's for those who haven't I speak of this again.

“The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power. My Mother had taught me to seek all truth in the Bible.”

Nikola Tesla

It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects.

Nikola Tesla



If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

1 Thessalonians 4

13But 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. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For 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. 16For 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: 17Then 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. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words!

144,000 also sent back for the tribulation! Not saved for it! Sent to be there!

that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

Basically I think that there is only one correct answer to as to when it will happen and that is... today. Please Note that there are two classes of the blessed. Class I Those who are dead in Christ. Class II Those who are alive in Christ.

Now someone who is in Class I was obviously at some time in the past a member of Class II. Non of us can guarantee that we will still be drawing breath at this time tomorrow. So this is not a matter that you can comfortably "put off". As is the common human tendency when faced with a decision. In fact putting it off is a decision in and of it's self. You might be blessed with a little more time, but don't count on it. The risks and consequences of dying in your sins are just to great. All of us are skating on thin ice.

Re: I encourage every Christian to give this a look..
Can't explain the other side
Answers lost before their eyes
Violence surges from inside
A state of mind that never dies
Born into a chosen way
Life that doesn't fit today
To die a painful death it seems
Is better than your misery
Contemplating rearranging
Changing all your ways of thinking

Everyday your life seems like
It's pushed into a hole
Acting out another's need
To rule a soul eternally
Adjusting to another set
Of values take it's toll
Growing in a lunacy
That plays on your stupidity

Circle of beliefs, secrets never keep
Living in a lie, right before your eyes
Born without a brain, helpless in your name
All you do is pray, living is your pain

Mentality so small
You can't accept another side
Your point of view a memory
Because it doesn't mean a thing
The resurrection's waiting
For a world without a sin
The temples all will crumble
While awaiting for it to begin

Circle of beliefs, secrets never keep
Living in a lie, right before your eyes
Losing is your way, mental disarray
I can see your strain, you don't want to be saved

Can't you see no validity
Must control silencing of souls
Slow decay spreading through your brain
Devastate the deviant will dominate

Can't you see there's no validity
Your way is not the only way
Slow decay is spreading through your brain
Don't you see the power of the enemy
Tyranny total supremacy
Control the silencing of souls
Slavery within the entity
Devastate, dominate

Can't explain the reason why
Someone would rather live than die
If dying was the only way
To end a life of mental stains
All your life he's been the cause
A man impaled onto a cross
Pure religious holocaust
If religion dies it's not my loss

Perception always biased
Feeding off a fallacy
Your systematic way of life
Decided for you every night
Intentional conflicting words
Avoid solidity, blinded by the holy light
That constantly consumes your mind

Circle of beliefs, secrets never keep
Living in a lie, right before your eyes
Burning in my wake, souls are free to take
Your following a fake, every one awake

So what does this passage have to do with any rapture , it simply tells us that we can't proceed those who have died because once you die instantly your spirt goes back to God and when Jesus returns he will bring all those who died inthe flesh but were quickened in the spirit with him at the seventh trump .

The mass of humanity with Jesus will be as a cloud of people and then we who are alive will in the twinkle of an eye change into our spiritual bodies and be gatherd back to Jesus .

Why do you people cling to the pre trib rapture lie or any type of rapturing post or mid . There is no rapture ,it is not a word of the bible and is a man made tradition , which makes void the word of God . The meek will inherit the earth , for Godssake Jesus tells us you exactly how it will be at the end of this age, at the seventh trump .

Read the parable of the tares and wheat , the angels gather the tares first and bind them to be thrown in the fire ,the wheat Jesus gathers into his barn aka wedding supper , the angels gather all things that offend out of the kingdom . It truly is that simple , why you people make it so hard by adding to and taking away from Gods word to make the word rapture work is a joke , a sad joke at best .

Please since your a advocate of the pretrib rapture tell us what Jesus says here , these are his exact words so do explain for all use who do not understand what Jesus meant and how this pertains to a pre trib rapture .

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

41 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;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

I or any other non believing rapture theory debunker take pleasure in knowing we will suffer for the name of Jesus But make no mistake , Jesus tells us we will suffer for His namesake and blessed Re we for doing so .

Jesus tells us those who try to save this lives will loose them and those who loose them for His namesake will have eternal life , a pre trib rapture is trying to save your life . If the church is taken away who will witness to the unbelievers when they need it most , when Satan is once again walking the earth you believe God would take his mouth pieces away. That is just plain inane .

Most importantly is that in these last days we are to have on the gospel armor of God , Ephisians 12 , the very first piece of armor is made up of truth and all you who beleive in the rapture lie do not ,I REPEAT DO OT HAVE ON YOUR GOSPEL ARMOR .

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24822556


kitty You scored it right there.


THE RAPTURE COULD BE TODAY. Get right with the Lord while you are still blessed with a little time.

 Quoting: Judethz


The rapture can't be today because the antichrist isn't manifest (presented to the world and known to the church to be the antichrist). When he is, then it can be any day, but not today, and likely not so soon (even tough that day is becoming near).

And... again... Obama can't be the Antichrist, because the Antichrist is not just a mere chief of state of one nation, even if it's the biggest/more powerful one, because the antichrist will be at the top of ALL nations, not just one.

Of course, we can leave this world at any moment... In terms of salvation it's irrelevant when the rapture is. But for a correct understanding of the scriptures on this subject, it is.

As for OP's linked article claims, I believe they can be easily disproven by this passage alone:

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and {by} our gathering together unto him, {unto him: or, around him}
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.
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;
 Quoting: 2 Tess 2:1-3


If Jesus Christ had still to wait more time (let us say for the beggining or the middle of the seven years) for His return even after the Antichrist being manifested, then that assertion above would be incorrect, and the bible incorrect which is an absurd. So my only possible understanding is that the rapture is going to occur even before the seven years begin, and it could be even just a short time after the antichrist appears in the world scene and can be/will be correctly identified by the church as being the antichrist without a shadow of a doubt.

13But 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. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For 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. 16For 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: 17Then 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. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words!

144,000 also sent back for the tribulation! Not saved for it! Sent to be there!

and then in the above scripture, notice:

that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

and
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds

So what does this passage have to do with any rapture , it simply tells us that we can't proceed those who have died because once you die instantly your spirt goes back to God and when Jesus returns he will bring all those who died inthe flesh but were quickened in the spirit with him at the seventh trump .

The mass of humanity with Jesus will be as a cloud of people and then we who are alive will in the twinkle of an eye change into our spiritual bodies and be gatherd back to Jesus .

Why do you people cling to the pre trib rapture lie or any type of rapturing post or mid . There is no rapture ,it is not a word of the bible and is a man made tradition , which makes void the word of God . The meek will inherit the earth , for Godssake Jesus tells us you exactly how it will be at the end of this age, at the seventh trump .

Read the parable of the tares and wheat , the angels gather the tares first and bind them to be thrown in the fire ,the wheat Jesus gathers into his barn aka wedding supper , the angels gather all things that offend out of the kingdom . It truly is that simple , why you people make it so hard by adding to and taking away from Gods word to make the word rapture work is a joke , a sad joke at best .

Why do you delight in the idea of tribulation?
Do you think you can earn your salvation by suffering?
What can you do for the Lord?
Crushing hope for rescue in ruff times?

Let them hope.
We have the word of God to tell us.
We do not need your grim take.

I or any other non believing rapture theory debunker take pleasure in knowing we will suffer for the name of Jesus But make no mistake , Jesus tells us we will suffer for His namesake and blessed Re we for doing so .

Jesus tells us those who try to save this lives will loose them and those who loose them for His namesake will have eternal life , a pre trib rapture is trying to save your life . If the church is taken away who will witness to the unbelievers when they need it most , when Satan is once again walking the earth you believe God would take his mouth pieces away. That is just plain inane .

Most importantly is that in these last days we are to have on the gospel armor of God , Ephisians 12 , the very first piece of armor is made up of truth and all you who beleive in the rapture lie do not ,I REPEAT DO OT HAVE ON YOUR GOSPEL ARMOR . Why? Because you believed in a lie and God himself has sent you strong delusion for this , taking pleasure in unrighteousness .
