Not Again! September 24, 25, 26 is NOT Going to See the Rapture

 

Okay, folks, there's a lot of chatter in certain circles that the much-anticipated "catching away" or "Rapture of the Church" could take place sometime in the next week. It's all based on a lot of numbers, twisting of Scripture, and the fact that the Jewish high holiday of the Feast of Trumpets is this week.

 

Let me be clear, IT AIN'T HAPPENING! 

Here's how I know:

 

Back in 1988, some guy put out a little book, and made the round of televangelists touting said book that was titled: "88 Reasons the Rapture Will Occur in September 1988". Everyone got all excited about it. The numbers lined up. It HAD to happen!

 

Guess what? It didn't. I even got caught up in it, and...I knew better. NO man knows the day nor the hour...and yes, it was Feast of Trumpets too. My point is, it wasn't Biblical then, and it is NOT Biblical now. Know why?

 

Because a harpazo happening BEFORE the revealing of the Antichrist, the mark of the beast, the appearance of the two witnesses is NOT Biblical.

 

Read Your Bible

 

I'll tell you exactly what someone told me years ago when I said something about the Rapture could be any day, "you might want to read your Bible."

 

What??!!! I knew the Bible! However, I went before the Lord and said, "if something is in the Bible it is Truth, if it's not, even if it is what I've been taught and believed all my life, then it's a lie. Show me, Lord."

 

I then took a sheet of paper and made three columns: Pre, Mid, and Post/Prewrath. I then went through my Thompson Chain Reference Bible, using my Strongs Concordance (no internet in those days nor personal computers) and went thru looking for all scriptures that pertained to the Rapture of the church. I then put down the scripture reference under the column where it seemed to fit the best.

 

I ended up with 3 verses, taken out of context, under Pre-trib. One verse, taken out of context under Mid-trib. I ended up with chapters and verses (Matt 24, Mark 13, Daniel 9, etc) under Post/Pre-wrath. That shook up my theology!

 

I prayed, "okay, Lord, since nothing is by private interpretation, then I am not the only one who has seen this. Show me." And from that day forward, and I was traveling around the US in my RV, where ever I went, I kept coming across books on the subject, all agreeing with what I had seen.

 

Once PCs and the internet came along, it was much easier to research. Eventually I put all my research in a blog,,,this blog.

 

Some advice is get before the Lord and ask Him to show you the Truth. The Rapture of the Church IS soon...sooner than it was in 1973 when everyone was talking about "The Late Great Planet Earth". Sooner than it was in 1988, or when the whole Left Behind series came out (which was based on a lie for $$...ask me what the Lord showed me about that one day as I walked into a Walmart). BUT there are still a few Biblical prophecies to be fulfilled BEFORE.

 

So stop focusing on getting out of here, and start focusing on reaching the lost for Jesus.
