Rapture Doctrine

 

We are going to go over certain scriptures that some call the rapture, and we are going to find out just who is the Anti-Christ, Where he is going to appear, what he is going to be doing, so you don’t be deceived.

Paul was taken in the spirit to the third heavenly age or third dimension, and he observed many things. There have been others in the Bible who were also taken to that dimension, so he was not the first one. He was shown so many things that he couldn’t speak of some of the things!

The word Anti means instead of, and in this case instead of the Anointed One, The Messiah, Jesus Christ. It means he attempts to take the place of Jesus Christ. We are talking about a SUPER-NATURAL being who will appear here on this earth in this earth age we are in now claiming to be The messiah, Jesus Christ. The majority of Christians today will be deceived by this fake one because of what they are being taught in the churches which are contrary to the Holy word of God! We are talking about the so- called RAPTURE or the secret mystery church being RAPTURED out of here! The word IS NOT even IN the Bible!

The whole point of 1^st. Thessalonians Cp 4 which Paul wrote to the churches there is that your loved ones that have passed away are NOT still there in that hole in the ground! To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. They are already in that Heavenly dimension.

Let us recall what Paul says in verse 4; [That those who sleep in Jesus] these words{ in Jesus} was not in the original scriptures and have been added [ will God bring with Him.] It is obvious that their soul whether they are good or bad as it tells in Ecleasties is already there, and since we are talking about the spiritual body there certainly be no need for them to return back into their decayed flesh body ever again! NO BODILY RESURECTION! Flesh and blood CANNOT exist in that dimension! When you die you are finished with that flesh body. GOD has common sense don’t you think?

1^st.Thessalonians.cp.5, Paul talks about the day of the Lord which happens at the 7^th. Trump.

Verse 1:[ But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write you.] They were not to be concerned because certain things had to happen first.

Verse 2:[ For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so commeth as a thief in the night.]{to who?}

Verse 3:[ For when they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them as travail upon a woman with child.] Where have we read of that before? In the teachings of Jesus in Matt. 24, Luke21, and Mark 13 [ and they shall not escape.]

Verse 4: [But ye brethren, are not in darkness, that that day ]the 7^th trump day of the Lord [ should overtake you as a thief.]so you see, Jesus is NOT coming as a thief in the night to the Elect. Only to those who have been CAUGHT UP in the great deception of the RAPTURE!

Let’s go to 2^nd Thessalonians Cp.1 verse 4 and talk about what Paul says concerning the return of Jesus Christ returning back to this earth and how we will be gathered back to Him.

Paul is writing this to ALL the churches, not to some MYSTERY church. He says that every Christian church in this world is going to experience this. They are going to be here whether they like or not!

There had been a great deal of confusion over this subject the same as it is today and he was afraid he might have confused some of them when he wrote his first letter.

Now he has set the stage here and he says : tho you are having tribulations hold fast and God will protect you.

2^nd.Thessalonians cp. 2 Verse 1: [Now we beseech you, brethren,] notice how he seems to always be talking to the brethren? Just had to throw that in.[by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him,]

What is the subject? The returning of our Lord Jesus Christ and of our gathering back to Him. That is the subject.

Verse2: [That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as from us, as the day of Christ is at hand.]

I don’t want you to get mixed up here. It is really pretty simple. Don’t be confused and don’t let my first letter shake you up. As that day of Christ is at hand. In other words, Christ IS returning, but I want you to understand clearly how it will be!

Verse 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,]

Don’t let ANYONE tell you different than what the Testimony of Jesus Christ tells you.

He says there are 2 things which MUST happen before Jesus Christ returns.

The Apostasy Will take place first BEFORE Jesus Christ and His angels return to this earth. What is this word “apostasy”? It means a falling away from the truth that is written in the Holy word of God. What will cause that? The teaching of the RAPTURE!

The 2^nd thing is believing in the First SUPER-NATURAL being calling himself GOD!

A whole lot of people are going to be TAKEN by surprise! Even some of the elect if they don’t remember what they have been taught by this HOLY word of GOD! Jesus even tells you in His teaching in Matt. Cp. 24. Paul is also going to tell you what this SUPER-NATURAL being will be doing.

Verse 4: [Who opposeth and exaulteth 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.]

Is there anyone else doing that now? This is NOT a mortal man or woman we are talking about here. He will come to Mt.Zion to the temple of GOD claiming to BE GOD! And the whole world will think he IS GOD! Naturally they are going to worship him!

Verse 5: [Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?]

He says we talked about this very thing many times.

Verse 6: [And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.]

When he comes you are to know the events as they happen and you can COUNT the NUMBER of the Beast, 666 that was placed on Cain, the son of Satan in the Garden of Eden. You will find the revealing of ‘that man of sin’ in the 6^th. seal and 6^th. Trump.

Verse 7: [For the mystery of iniquity doth already work; only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.]

Where is Satan now? He is in the Heavenly dimension being held by Michael the Arch Angel, not the church. We are talking about SUPER-NATURAL beings here. Michael will cast him out of that dimension into this dimension when the right time comes.

Verse 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:]

With His tongue, the 2 edged sward. Jesus will NOT come until AFTER this SUPER-NATURAL - being sits in the HOLY place claiming to be GOD! Jesus HIMSELF will destroy him when HE comes.

Verse 9: [Even him] these words have been added. They were not in the original. You take them out and this scripture makes more sense. [whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,] Do you see how adding in something that does not belong changes the meaning of the scripture?

His roll as Anti-Christ, performing miracles that will blow the minds of people that are not mentally prepared for such things that will happen!

Verse 10: [And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish.] this means their soul will perish [ because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.] from the death of the soul at the Great White Throne judgment seat of GOD.

In other words, they would not study and learn the events as they are to happen.

Verse 11:[ And for this cause GOD shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.]A strong delusion is what the Webster’s dictionary describes as RAPTURE. Delusions of the mind! HERE IS YOUR RAPTURE FOLKS!!!!

And that lie is ANTI-CHRIST! They are going to take it all in, hook, line and sinker! They will be the ones falling away in the great Apostasy

Verse 12 [ That they all might be damned] this word damned is judged in original [ who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.]

HAS GOD SENT A STRONG DELUSION OR RAPTURE OF THE MIND  ON YOU?

Have you perhaps been TAKEN in by the false teaching of a SECRET catching away of the SECRET MYSTERY CHURCH? Or do you have ears to hear and eyes to see?

What is your Gospel armor for? Just for looks? Does it have wings on it? So you can FLY AWAY? I don’t think so! It is to stand against the fiery darts of Satan. You don’t have to FLY AWAY in fear! God will be with you.

Let us take the word of GOD, which is so precious and revealing and let us not read over things without stopping to take it all in. To repeat the words of DR. ARNOLD MURRAY, Christianity is not a denomination or religion, it is reality!
