Rapture Timing
Among Christians there can often be some heated debates about the tribulational timing of the rapture, whether it’s pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, post-tribulation, that it’s already happened (Postmillennialism) or that it’s all allegorical (Amillennialism). This document uses the Pre-Tribulational viewpoint because it’s the only biblically accurate position, but to sum it up simply – we are to expect Him at any time.

This section doesn’t need to be read if the Rapture has already happened, because you would know it was pre-tribulational.

Pre-Tribulational (Biblically Accurate)
The pre-tribulation position advocates that the rapture will occur before the beginning of the seven-year tribulation period, while the second coming will occur at the end of it. Pre-tribulationists often describe the rapture as Jesus coming for the church and the second coming as Jesus coming with the church.
This is the view used throughout this document as explained below.

1. The Doctrine of Imminency – We are to expect Him at any time, there are no longer any preconditions to His return.
2. It mirrors a Jewish Wedding (Betrothal, Payment, Sanctification, Bridegroom Departs, Prepares Room, Bride Prepares for his Return, Surprise Gathering, Wedding)
3. Enoch’s rapture is a ‘type’ of the church before the great flood of Noah. (Type – a doctrine or theory concerning the relationship of events in the OT to the NT)
4. The church is mentioned repeatedly in the first 3 chapters but never again from the fourth chapter on – because it’s now in heaven before the tribulation.
5. John was taken to heaven in the spirit in Revelation chapter 4 which mirrors a type of the rapture in the correct position relative to Revelation.
6. Parable of the 10 virgins. Matthew 25:1-13. This is an example of a Pre-Tribulational rapture as they do not know the day or the hour.
7. The seven lamps of fire in Revelation represent the church and relate back to the parable of the 10 virgins.
8. The 24 elders in heaven are symbolic of the raptured church. Point of interest – there are also 24 references to raptures in the bible.
9. “Comfort another with these words”. 1 Thessalonians 4:18. How can you comfort others knowing you will go through even part of the tribulation?
10. The rapture of the church occurs before the tribulation so that God can focus His attention on Israel to bring them back to Him during this time.
11. Revelation 3:10 “Because you have persevered, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world”.
12. If the rapture occurs pre-tribulation – wouldn’t satan do his best to try and convince people otherwise so they feel they have more time?
13. 2 Thessalonians 1 tells us that God will put those who trouble believers through the tribulation and to give those who are troubled rest when Jesus returns.
14. Daniel’s absence during the events of the golden idol worship in Daniel 3 is a type of the rapture. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego symbolise Israel.
…and many other reasons and biblical ‘types’ too numerous to list.

Mid-Tribulational (Biblically Inaccurate)
The mid-tribulation position espouses that the rapture will occur at some point in the middle of the tribulation period, or ‘Daniel’s 70th Week’. The tribulation is divided into two periods of 3.5 years each. Mid-tribulationists hold that the saints will go through the first period (Beginning of Travail), but will be raptured into Heaven before the severe outpouring of God’s wrath in the second half of what is popularly called the great tribulation.

Why the view is biblically inaccurate:
1. The entire tribulation is God’s wrath on the unbelievers and we are to be spared the wrath of God. 1 Thessalonians 5:9
2. How can we expect Him at any time when the tribulation has obvious fixed events described in the bible? The disciples even expected Him.
3. The church is not mentioned in any of the events from chapter 4 onwards.
4. It is “The Time of Jacob’s Trouble”, Jacob’s name was changed to Israel, therefore the tribulation is for the salvation of Israel and not the church.
5. The antichrist can only be revealed after the church is raptured.

Prewrath Premillennialism (Biblically Inaccurate)
The prewrath rapture view also places the rapture at some point during the tribulation period before the second coming. This view holds that the tribulation of the church begins toward the latter part of a seven-year period, being Daniel’s 70th week, when the Antichrist is revealed in the temple. This latter half of a seven-year period (3.5 years) is defined as the great tribulation, although the exact duration is not known.

Why the view is biblically inaccurate:
1. The entire tribulation is God’s wrath on the unbelievers and we are to be spared the wrath of God. 1 Thessalonians 5:9
2. How can we expect Him at any time when the tribulation has obvious fixed events described in the bible? The disciples even expected Him.
3. The church is not mentioned in any of the events from Revelation 4 onwards.
4. It is “The Time of Jacob’s Trouble”, Jacob’s name was changed to Israel, therefore the tribulation is for the salvation of Israel and not the church.
5. The antichrist can only be revealed after the church is raptured. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

Post-Tribulational (Biblically Inaccurate)
In the post-tribulation premillennial position, the rapture would be identical to the second coming of Jesus or as a meeting in the air with Jesus that immediately precedes his return to the Earth before a literal millennium. The post-tribulation position places the rapture at the end of the tribulation period.

Why the view is biblically inaccurate:
1. The entire tribulation is God’s wrath on the unbelievers and we are to be spared the wrath of God. 1 Thessalonians 5:9
2. How can we expect Him at any time when the tribulation has obvious fixed events described in the bible? The disciples even expected Him.
3. The church is not mentioned in any of the events from Revelation 4 onwards.
4. It is “The Time of Jacob’s Trouble”, Jacob’s name was changed to Israel, therefore the tribulation is for the salvation of Israel and not the church.
5. The antichrist can only be revealed after the church is raptured. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
6. There won’t be time for the “Marriage Supper of the Lamb” if we go to heaven and then instantly come back with Jesus.

Postmillennialism (Kingdom Now) (Very Biblically Inaccurate)
Postmillennials believe: The Church has replaced Israel, and God has no purpose left for the Jews. Accordingly, many of the proponents are aggressively anti-Semitic, even to the point of arguing that the Jewish people are the Antichrist. They say that the Church is destined to take over the world by itself and reign over all the nations for at least one thousand years and that Jesus cannot return for the Church until the Church has completed its reign and is ready to present the kingdom to Him. They also claim that the Second Coming of Christ occurred in the First Century.

In the postmillennialist view the millennium is seen as an indefinitely long time thus precluding literal interpretation of a thousand-year period. According to Loraine Boettner “the world will be Christianised, and the return of Christ will occur at the close of a long period of righteousness and peace, commonly called the millennium.” Postmillennialists commonly view the rapture of the Church as one and the same event as the second coming of Christ. According to them the great tribulation was already fulfilled in the Jewish-Roman War of 66–73 AD that involved the destruction of Jerusalem.

Why the view is biblically inaccurate:
1. The world is obviously getting worse and not better, therefore Jesus will never be able to come according to this view. They will never be able to “Christianise” the world to prepare it for His return due to the fact that the vast majority of people will reject the bible. Matthew 7:14
2. Acts 3:21 does NOT mean that Jesus will wait in heaven until the earth is perfect, but that He will only come back when it’s time to set things straight.
3. Matthew 24:14 does NOT mean that the world will have to be Christianised before His return, but says the gospel must be preached to the world.
4. God has and never will abandon Israel as per Romans 9-11 and the tribulation is “The time of Israel’s Trouble”, to bring them back to Jesus.
5. The tribulation can’t have occurred in the past because the church is still on earth, the third temple hasn’t been built, we would have heard of huge plagues wiping out most of the earth, we would know who the antichrist was and Jesus would be back by now.
6. If the rapture and the second coming are at the same time, how is there time for the “Marriage Supper of the Lamb”?
7. The reason for the church is to preach the gospel to any and all who will hear it and NOT to try and convert the world in preparation for Jesus.
8. Imminency – Jesus’ return will not be imminent if the church will have to reign 1,000 years first.
9. “If we’re in the millennium, satan’s chain is too long”
10. Unfulfilled prophecies such as the destruction of Damascus (Isaiah 17), and the attempted invasion of Israel (Ezekiel 38).
…and many more reasons too numerous to list.

Amillennialism (Preterism) (Very Biblically Inaccurate)
Amillennialism is the spiritualizing or an allegorical interpretation of the end times bible passages. Amillennialists view the millennial rule of Christ as the current (in our hearts), but indefinite period that began with the foundation of the church and that will end with the Second Coming—a period where Christ already reigns with his saints through the Eucharist and his church. They believe that most Bible prophecy was fulfilled in AD 70 at the destruction of the Temple and they view the life of the church as Christ’s kingdom already established, but not to be made complete until his second coming.

Bishop Earl Paulk taught that we are “little gods” and that Jesus Christ cannot return until we rise to the full stature of our godhood, take over this world, and establish His kingdom for Him – this is dominionism. Amillennialists generally do not use “rapture” as a theological term, but they do view a similar event coinciding with the second coming—primarily as a mystical gathering with Christ. To amillennialists the final days already began on the day of the Pentecost, but that the great tribulation will occur during the final phase or conclusion of the millennium, with Christ then returning as the alpha and omega at the end of time.

Why the view is biblically inaccurate:
1. We can’t be living in the time of Jesus’ reign because of so much evil in the world and it’s continually getting worse.
2. The term rapture is used throughout the bible and can’t be ignored by this theory.
3. Jesus said his feet will touch the mount of olives on His second coming thus being a physical return.
4. When did Jesus begin to reign over the world from Jerusalem?
5. Satan is bound throughout the millennium and he obviously is out today deceiving people.
6. The millennium couldn’t have taken place in A.D. 70 because of all the unfulfilled prophecies and the knowledge that God’s word is perfect.
7. When was Jerusalem surrounded by the armies of all nations?
8. Was Israel established in AD 70 in her land, never to be removed again?
…and many more reasons too numerous to list.

The Term ‘Rapture’
Many will say that the word “Rapture” isn’t in the English bible, and they would be right. The word “Jesus” or “Trinity” isn’t in the original Hebrew and Greek texts either but does that mean it’s unbiblical? There have been a lot of translations since the original scripts of Hebrew and Greek were written down by the prophets all those years ago which is why some of the words had to be changed to make sense in our modern languages. Even though the words are different, the meaning has still been the same throughout all of history.

Since the New Testament was written in Greek, this is the language where we will find the origins of the word “Rapture”. It was originally “ἁρπάζω” which, when transliterated [to write or print using the closest corresponding letters of a different alphabet or language] means “Harpazo”. Strong’s Greek Concordance translates Harpazo to mean: 1. to seize, carry off by force, 2. to seize on, claim for one’s self eagerly, 3. to snatch out or away.

Therefore the rapture is a seizing or forcefully snatching away of His church to Him. That is the meaning of the word but we still have to connect our word “Rapture” with the meaning of being snatched away forcefully, that is where the Latin word “raptus” comes in. It means “a carrying off” and is a root of the Medieval Latin word “raptura” which also means “seizure” or “kidnapping”. The interpreters translated the Greek “ἁρπάζω” to the Latin “raptus” and over time it became “raptura” and finally in modern English “Rapture”.

Pre-Rapture
As written in 2 Peter 3:1-9, there will be mockers and scoffers in the last days who will perpetually criticize christians for their beliefs, saying: “When is He coming? It’s been thousands of years with no sign of His return.” They will mock the belief in the rapture, mock those who pray and mock Christians just because of their belief in God. This mocking will become greater and more consistent in the days leading up to the rapture. People will also seek to do away with the biblical traditions such as marriage between a man and woman and avoid God completely as per Psalm 2:3. “Let us break Their bonds in pieces, And cast away their cords from us.”

At the time of writing, the nations of the world are continually, and increasingly casting away biblical commandments and traditions while replacing them with: abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, hedonism, evolution, murder, lying, rape, witchcraft, fornication and many more.

2 Peter 3:3-9
“3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For this they wilfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

Rapture Verses
These are some bible verses mentioning the rapture and where you can find them. The interpretation is to the right of each one, however you should only ever trust the word of God and not man therefore I recommend you look them up yourself and come to your own understanding of them.

1 Corinthians 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.”

This verse says the rapture will take place in the twinkling of an eye, which, according to Chuck Missler is a reference to the time it takes for light to enter and bounce back out of the iris – approximately 10^-42 seconds. (0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 of a second) This is the smallest amount of time possible in our digital universe. At the time of the rapture those who believe in Him who currently have sinful, corruptible and have mortal bodies will be transformed to an incorruptible state and will be given a glorified body.

Luke 21:29-31
“Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.”

The fig tree stands for the nation of Israel. When you see it begin to bloom (become prosperous) economically and militarily, and dwelling securely in their land you know that the kingdom of God is near, in other words the rapture is close. Israel today is not only blooming but it’s a world superpower in many areas.

Luke 21:34-35
“But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.”

This verse is a reference to the rapture coming at a time when people will be taken up with the cares of their life. The day it occurs will be an ordinary day like any other in the world and nobody will be expecting it. People will be working, getting married and living as if there is a tomorrow.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

This verse assures the church that those who have died will not miss out on His coming in the clouds. The dead will rise first and then the living will be raptured to meet him in the clouds.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
“1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. 11 Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.”

The Lord will come as a thief in the night at a time nobody will expect Him. Be watchful and sober so that when the rapture happens you aren’t found in sin. God did not appoint us to His wrath (the tribulation), so comfort each other with these words.

Revelation 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.”

Because you, the followers of Christ have kept His word, He will keep you from the hour of temptation known as the tribulation. The tribulation is to test those who remain on earth who weren’t taken, to separate the sheep (the followers and believers in Christ) from the goats – those who choose to go their own way and worship false idols. You get a second (and final) chance to turn to Him if you missed the rapture. However if it hasn’t occurred yet you should commit your life to Him now because you aren’t guaranteed tomorrow and there will be chaos and destruction worldwide when it happens. (What if you’re in a plane piloted by two raptured Christians?)

Luke 17:34-37
“I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”

Another verse about how the rapture will take place. Born again believers will be snatched away instantly from whatever they are doing at the time. The rapture will occur instantly all over the globe, hence the people asleep in bed and those out working. Note that all humanity is called the “Son of Man” by God, including females, so the verse is not referring to homosexuals in the bed.

John 14:3
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”

Jesus is preparing a place for us in heaven and soon will come again and take us back to the place He prepared.

Daniel 12:1-2
“And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 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.”

Michael the angel will relinquish his guardianship position over Israel and the events of the tribulation, the wrath of God and the antichrist will befall it, affecting it and every other nation on earth. The people of Israel, in particular the sealed 144,000 of Jesus will be delivered through this tribulation.

Introduction
The Rapture, otherwise known as “the Harpazo” is a Christian religious event in which the believers saved in Jesus Christ and those younger than the accountable age vanish from earth in the “twinkling of an eye” (instantly) meeting Jesus in the air. Those who rejected Jesus and were left behind on earth will be subject to 7 years of the wrath of God, known as the Tribulation. Immediately following this will be Jesus’ second triumphant return with those who were raptured previously, where He will claim His throne in Jerusalem and rule for 1000 years.

Following the removal of God’s people from earth in the Rapture and the standing aside by the ‘restrainer’ (the Holy Spirit) there will be utter chaos in the world as people seek to understand what happened. If you’re one of these people – you have found the answers to all the questions you may have on the subject alongside the Bible. Be warned that there will be a “lie” (2 Thessalonians 2:11) that is so powerful it will fool even the smartest of people. Many Christians believe that this lie will be an alien deception of some sort because it’s the only logic that could explain the disappearance of millions of people from earth in a single moment.

The tribulation covers the period of time in which the antichrist (someone who puts themself in place of God) rises to power and makes an existing covenant with Israel – even more spectacular, allowing them to build the third temple. Mid-way through the covenant he sits on the throne in the third temple of Jerusalem and claims to be god, kicking off the second half of the tribulation. (3.5 years into the covenant)

He will then proceed to slaughter all Jews and newly converted Christians throughout the entire globe and all those who refuse to take his ‘mark’ – The Mark of the Beast on either their right hand or forehead. The bible says his mark “666” will need to be ‘calculated’ and won’t be easily identifiable. (Revelation 13:18)

During this rise and reign of the antichrist God will be pouring out His just judgements on this increasingly sinful world which will cause utter devastation on the planet and ultimately cause the nations of the world to come together to battle God at Armageddon.

All of the terms discussed above are discussed in detail below to help you understand God’s plan for the gentiles (non Jews) and the plan for His nation of Israel in the final chapter of earth. So keep reading and feel free to print, copy, email and disseminate this guide to anyone and everyone seeking truth in these ‘biblical’ times as there are no copyrights on it.

If some of these prophecies such as the rapture have already been fulfilled and you’re seeking answers, please keep reading! If anything, the events in the book of Revelation (and re-iterated below) can be used to verify that the bible is 100% truth and given from a God outside of space and time. This section goes hand in hand with the “RELIGION > Christianity” section found in “The Preparedness Encyclopedia (TPE)” also written by me. If this section has been separated from its parent document you can head to www.fluidicice.com/TPE to download the rest for free.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

One of the verses in the bible referencing the rapture of the church.

End Times Timeline
This is a diagram of the likeliest scenario of how end time events could unfold, based on a premillennial dispensational view of Christianity. It can be used to refer back to when reading through the rest of this section as you won’t understand each event without further study. The diagram may be a bit daunting on first look, but after reading the scriptures (mostly Revelation) you should slowly be able to work out what each event signifies and where you sit in God’s end times timeline.

Click to see the other versions of the timelines.

I recommend downloading and printing the diagrams to help follow along with. To download these images just right click one and select “Save image as…” then choose the location you want to save it to.

TLDR: The horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis splits up the events in heaven and on earth. If you draw a vertical line anywhere on the diagram, any horizontal lines that intersect with it may be occurring at that time. Colours have a relationship with anything else that colour.

Reading the Diagram
To start reading this rather complicated diagram take a look at the white ‘Time’ bar near the top. This shows approximate timings for the events below such as the tribulation and the millennium. A little further down in the light blue section are the events that take place in heaven. Vertical lines spanning heaven and earth just show you these events occur in both places. Any coloured text adjacent to coloured lines shows a relationship. Coloured text is used to link common themes throughout the document, such as satanic influences and events appearing red, events involving raptured believers in baby blue and the events involving Israel being purple.

The events on earth are found under the heaven section and have a light brown and light red background. This is the section you will likely be focusing on the most if you’ve missed the rapture as it contains the seals, trumpets and bowls. I recommend drawing a vertical line on the diagram every so often to keep track of where you are in God’s grand scheme. The gradient lines on the diagram are themed to particular events, people or groups of people and generally cover most of the timeline. The weaker the gradient – the less it applies.

The events after the tribulation such as the millennium and eternity are more for your general information due to not needing this diagram after the second coming of Jesus. That’s about it, if you still have questions on it try giving the referenced scriptures a read.

Diagram Events
The diagram starts before the rapture of the church where lawlessness, natural disasters and the persecution of the church will grow ever stronger in an attempt to wake people up from their spiritual slumber and to turn them back to God. Then the rapture happens (the blue line with an upwards arrow on the left) and the restrainer steps aside allowing all hell to break loose on earth. People will loot, steal, murder, riot and cry out in agony as the entire world breaks down. The deception sent by God will fool many into believing ‘the lie’ and people will be fixed to their TV’s in disbelief at what’s happening.

Out of the shadows the one who will be called the ‘antichrist’ will rise to power having solutions to the worlds problems. (the orange gradient at the bottom) He will then establish a covenant with Israel allowing the third temple to be built (maroon line at the bottom), kicking off the tribulation period (the entire light red area in the middle). The tribulation is a time of God’s wrath on the world – but particularly Israel, and consists of 21 scroll related events in the form of seals, trumpets and bowls including a few others mentioned throughout the bible. The seals are the orange gradients near the top and the trumpets are the red/orange gradients in the middle of the diagram)

3.5 years into the covenant with Israel (the red dotted line in exactly the middle), the antichrist will sit on the throne in the third temple and desecrate it with abominations to God. This is known as the Abomination of Desolation which starts the horrific second half of the tribulation known as the “Great Tribulation” where the Jews and Christians are hunted down for their faith. (The green gradient near the bottom) It is this point where the antichrist will mandate a ‘mark’ that everyone must take to be able to buy and trade with, and whoever doesn’t take this mark will be beheaded. The bowls of God’s wrath will be poured out on the world somewhere throughout this second half. (The maroon gradients with number in the middle-right) Near the end of the 7 years the Euphrates river will dry up (Bowl 5) allowing the nations of the world to gather in Armageddon, Israel to fight God. (Bowl 6) Jesus will then come gloriously from heaven with those who were raptured and kill all those who took the mark of the beast and those who do not believe in Him. (The white vertical bar before the millennium)

Satan will be bound and those Christians who survived the tribulation and those who returned from heaven will live harmoniously in the millennium with Jesus reigning. (The green section to the right) After the 1,000 years have finished, satan will be released once more to deceive the nations for a time and then Jesus will destroy the uprising. (The white section to the right after the millennium) The great white throne judgement then occurs, where all the old testament saints and unbelievers throughout history are raised to life and judged for what they did in life. (The black bar) Once the judgement has passed and everyone has been grouped to either His left hand or right hand, he will send them to either everlasting life in heaven or everlasting judgement in hell. Finally, a new heaven and a new earth will be created for us to live in eternally. (The yellow and light blue bars)

Pre-Rapture
First, to comprehensively explain what will happen after the rapture (or what has happened already) you need to understand what the bible says on the rapture and the events leading up to it, even if it’s already happened. You would undoubtedly have many questions on current events and the bible passages below will shed some light on it. It will also help you not to be tricked by the POWERFUL deception and lies that will undoubtedly be on the news and TV attempting to explain the disappearance of only Christians and children, likely with some sort of ‘aliens invade’ narrative as demons will be working overtime to trick all those who weren’t taken.

If you’re unfamiliar with demons – they have the capability to produce signs, shapes, lights and anything else we can see visibly in the sky and satan will likely use it to trick those who remain on the earth. Keep in mind that it could be the Christians in the sky with the Lord who appear as bright lights, which could be this deception God sends. If you wish to study more on demons and how they can interact with our world I recommend the videos below by Billy Crone which can be watched and downloaded for free. Each link has multiple videos in the series which are about an hour long each.

“The Rapture Survival Guide is a comprehensive collection of information focused on the events leading up to and succeeding the rapture of the church. The guide is designed to help you survive the perilous times ahead, avoid deception, prove that the bible is from God and save your eternal life.”

The Rapture Survival Guide is a compilation of information based on the rapture of the church. It discusses what to expect as a result and the future events which will shortly take place. It covers the tribulation period and every disaster that will occur as a result of God’s wrath on earth. It also covers the subject of Christianity and proves that the Bible is a book written by God and originates outside of space and time. Most importantly it will tell you how you can accept Jesus Christ and become saved so you can spend eternity in heaven.

Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately) after the rapture I won’t be here to share this guide with those who need it so if you’ve found it helpful please share it to anyone and everyone you can so that they too may be saved. You can also print it if you wish and leave copies in peoples mailboxes or put it into flash drives and give them out.

If millions of people simply vanish from earth, wouldn’t that be enough proof to believe in the rapture? There will be a GREAT deception right after it happens – likely with lights or UFOs appearing in the sky worldwide. Do not be deceived and read this guide.
