Circumcision Of Today

Circumcision of Today

The circumcision required of the Hebrews prior to Christ is not the circumcision that God wants of us today.  He wants the circumcision of our hearts.  The circumcision He desires after Jesus was crucified is from both male and female and from each and everyone of His children.

Jeremiah 4:4  Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest My fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

Romans 2:29  But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Colossians 2:11  In Whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ:

Health Laws

In Leviticus 11 the health laws are outlined from God.  Disobeying these laws is not a sin or a judgment against you but rather rules to keep you healthy.  God created these flesh bodies and in doing so He knows what will or will not make them sick.  The basic rule is to not eat scavengers which makes sense since God put them on this earth as natural garbage disposals, so why would we want that in our bodies?  Some believe that when Christ died He abolished these laws, but that is silly since nothing in our bodies changed at that time. {what was Nailed To The Cross}

I Timothy 4:3  Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

First, don't judge anyone in marriage or in what they eat.  Second, note that the Scripture states "created to be received"...God did not create scavengers for example to be received as stipulated in Leviticus 11.  I Timothy 4 goes on to talk about all God's creation are good and they are just that....good for the purposes for which He created them (scavengers, again just for example, clean up the earth and are very necessary for their designed purposes).  It's your choice what you eat.  God's guidance is to keep you healthy both in spirit and flesh.

Nailed To The Cross

Colossians 2:14-17  Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.  Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy-day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:  Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Christ's blood washes away our sins if we but repent.  His blood and body became the replacement for the blood ordinances (sacrifices) of the Old Testament.  What He nailed to the Cross when He was crucified (sacrificed) was just that, those blood ordinances and not the entire Book of the Law.  Christ Became Our Passover

All One In Christ

Galatians 3:26-29  For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.  For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female:  for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.  And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Christ died on the Cross for all.  He is accessible to us all regardless of heritage or gender or race.  God rent the veil of the Temple when Christ died on the Cross thereby providing us all access to Him at any time without having to go through any one (Matthew 27:51Mark 15:38).  You need only call upon Him; accept Him; read of Him....He is yours at the asking.

Saved Through Faith

Ephesians 2:8-10  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:  it is the gift of God:  Not of works, lest any man should boast.  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

John 3:16:  For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Amen and Amen!

Psalms 22

Psalms 22:1-31

--was written by David 1,000 years before Christ was crucified
--Jesus quoted this Psalm on the Cross
--God did not forsake Jesus (himself) as Jesus never called God "God" but Father....Jesus was quoting the words of David in saying "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
--the words quoted in verse 18 took place by those nonbelievers and at the hand of God carrying out prophecy
--the word "darling" in verse 20 is soul properly translated
--the word "unicorns" in verse 21 is wild ox properly translated

Christ In Isaiah

Isaiah 53:1-12  Who hath believed our report?  And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?  For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground:  He hath no form nor comeiliness; and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.  He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:  and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.  Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows:  yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.  But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities:  the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.  He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth:  He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth.  He was taken from prison and from judgment:  and who shall declare His generation?  For He was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of My people was He stricken.  And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth.  Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief:  when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.  He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satsified:  by His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify  many; for He shall bear their iniquities.  Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong; because He hath poured out His soul unto death:  and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

This chapter should speak for itself, and my initial impulse was to let it stand alone so the full impact of what was spoken could be felt.  I could easily break down each line and tie to fulfilled Scriptures, but instead will only pull out just a few for clarification instead.  In Verse 2 ("...He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.") the form spoken of means that He has no appearance of pride (that very same pride that took Satan down).  Regardless of what He "looks" like the "beauty" of what He did for us is what we see, seek, and desire.  In Verse 10 ("Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him...") it pleased the Lord to take those stripes for us, His children, so that we might be with Him in eternity (Jesus was God with us in the flesh).  In Verse 12 ("....because He hath poured out His soul unto death:  and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.") He made intercession by taking our place on the Cross without saying a word on His behalf.  Christ came in the flesh for us and He died on the Cross for us feeling everything in His flesh body so that we may live with Him after these flesh bodies....and for all of that, we but just have to believe upon Him.  John 3:16

Christ Is Our Passover

Hebrews 2:9-18  But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.  For it became Him for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.  For both He That sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of One:  for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, "I will declare Thy Name unto My brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto Thee."  And again, "I will put my trust in Him."  And again, "Behold, I and the children which God hath given Me."  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.  For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham.  Wherefore in all things it behoved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.  For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted.

Verse Hebrews 2:12 is quoted from Psalms 22:22 (in bold above).  Christ came in the flesh for our salvation.  He overcame death, which is to say Satan, by providing us this salvation through believing on Christ.  He took away the blood ordinances and allows us to simply repent for our sins through His sacrifice on the Cross and His blood being spilled for us for all times.  The Laws are still very much in effect but knowing that we will continue to stumble, we only need to call on Christ.

Hebrews 10:4-14  For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.  Wherefore when He cometh into the world, He saith, "sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not, but a body hast Thou prepared Me:  In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin Thou hast had no pleasure.  Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of Me) to do Thy will, O God."  Above when He said, "sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin Thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein;" which are offered by the law; Then said He, "Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God."  He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second.  By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.  And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:  But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool.  For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

In verse Hebrews 10:9 (in part in bold above) it is stipulated that the initial ordinances (animal sacrifices) for removing the sins of the flesh were removed and replaced with Christ's blood sacrifice on the Cross.  Christ our Savior was established in this, His first advent.  Christ Became Our Passover

False Preachers & Prophets

I Peter 4:17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

In Jeremiah 23 & Ezekiel 13 God addresses how He feels about prophesying from falsehoods and from man's own mouth and dreams.  God has given us both history and prophesy in His Word.  John the Baptist was the last prophet before Christ.  We have the prophecies, the signs, and the seasons to know what God would have us know.  Dreams, visions, and prophecies born outside of that are man derived.  Be careful for which is not from God or does not align with His Word.  We have the ability to check it all out for ourselves in an undiluted (man altered) Bible, so don't take anyone's word over God's and check out for yourself what's real and what's false.

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

5th Trump

In a nutshell the 5th Trump is for the hearing of God's Word with understanding.  The 5th Trump is when the final sealing of God's Truth in the Elect's forehead occurs so as for them to carry out their part of God's Plan in the 6th Trump by arming themselves in the Gospel Armor (Ephesians 6:11).  It is when those with eyes to see and ears to hear crack down on their understanding of God's Word and not that of traditions of men or misinformation.

In Amos 8:11-12 it stipulates that the famine of the end times will be for the true Word of God which could not be more true of today's misteachings and traditions.  The Bible is available to nearly everyone and by the time of Antichrist it will be available to everyone and what the 5th Trump is and where we are now, but hearing God's Word with understanding is not available to those without eyes to see and ears to hear.  Those who are in slumber will have to "get it" in the Millennium. Matthew 24:14, Revelation 6:9-11

Basics Regarding Seals / Trumps / Vials

Seals are placed in (sealed in) the mind of what's going to happen.  They do not appear in chronological order, unlike the Trumps, but are given in the order of importance.  Revelation 6, Mark 13

Trumps (trumpets) are sounded to execute what's about to happen and they do appear in the chronological order of occurrence.  We are currently in the 5th Trump and coming up on the 6th Trump.  1st-6th Trumps are that of Deception and the 7th is when the one true Christ returns.  Additionally, the woe Trumps are that of 5-7.  Revelation 8-11

Vials (plagues) are a time of action .... the appointed event is happening.

Posts to follow specifically on the 5th, 6th, and 7th Trumps.  Reference also the Seals/Trumps in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21

Delivered Up & The Unforgiveable Sin

Those "taken" / deceived and believing that Satan as Antichrist is the one true Christ will naturally "deliver up" their loved ones who are not deceived and worshiping Satan because they truly believe Satan as Christ.  Remember that unless you have eyes to see and ears to hear, this deception is probable [Freewill or Predestination  /  Eyes To See & Ears To Hear].  Mark 13:12, Luke 21:16

Matthew 10:21  And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

Satan is referred to as "death" in numerous Scriptures because he is death.  To follow him is to be judged to the second death which is the death of the soul Revelation 21:4, 8.  This second death is permanent and is a blotting out for eternity and won't happen until Judgment Day following the Millennium and final testing.

Being delivered up to the synagogue of Satan (or to Death) is a part of the Elect's job and not something to fear or plan for what to say.  The witness here is to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through you and not premeditate what you will say.  The Unforgiveable Sin is not letting the Holy Spirit speak through you when you are delivered up.  Pentecost Day was given as an example of how this will work in Acts 2.  Speaking in tongues is not to speak gibberish....only can the Holy Spirit speaking through someone can everyone and every tongue understand what is said even in their own dialect (So when you witness folks standing and speaking nonsense and gibberish and it is not understood by anyone or everyone in every language you can be guaranteed it is not of the Holy Spirit.).  This will be the ultimate witness and is a part of God's Plan before His coming in the 7th Trump.  Matthew 10:17-20, Mark 13:11, Luke 21:12-15

Luke 12:10-12  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 {Spirit} it shall not be forgiven.  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:  For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say."


Those "Taken" .... Do Not Be Deceived

So be sure to read the following posts before this one:

Satan's Plan: The Rapture Plot   /  Satan's Plan: The Rapture Plot Continued
I Am Against Those That Teach Fly Away Doctrine
Satan's Plan: Antichrist
Two Tribulations

Matthew 24:37-42  But as the days of Noe {Noah} were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.  Luke 17:26-36

--Just like in the time of Noah, there will be a flood, but this flood will be the flood of Satan's lies and deception.  Additionally, there will be that 3rd influx of the fallen angels [Satan's Plan: Altering the Seedline...The Fallen Angels...].  Another parallel to Noah's flood and the 6th Trump will be the time period of 5 months and the 150 days of Noah (5 months).
--Of the two in the field, the one "taken" is the one deceived believing Satan as Antichrist is the one true Christ.
--The examples of those "taken" will be the ones swept up in the flood of Satan and his angles' (locust army) lies.  The ones left in the field, etc., are the ones waiting for Christ in the 7th Trump and doing God's work.

Two Tribulations

So as stated in Satan's Plan: Antichrist post there will be two tribulations in the 6th/7th trump.  There will; however, be no escape from tribulation .... but good news is you only have to be involved with one....

The 1st Tribulation that occurs is in the 6th Trump when Antichrist is here on earth in that latter 2 1/2 month period of time.  It will be a time of tribulation for those who know he is not Christ and refuse to worship him as such.  Fortunately we only have to be tried for no more than 10 days individually Revelation 2:10

This is the first test for those to choose Satan or Christ.  The second and final opportunity to choose Christ is at the end of the Millennium when Satan is loosed one last time before Judgment Day.  Revelation 20 

The 2nd Tribulation that occurs is right at the moment of the 7th Trump when the one true Christ returns and everyone who worshiped Satan realize what they have done and they wish for mountains to fall on them.  Luckily, this is but a blip of time and we all being in our spiritual bodies move on into the time of teaching of the 1,000 year period that is the Millennium. [The Millennium  /  Judgment Day]

Matthew 24Mark 13,  Luke 21, Revelation 9

Satan's Plan: Antichrist

Satan has set things up nicely for his ultimate deception at the 6th Trump.  The posts on the rapture plot [Satan's Plan: The Rapture Plot   /  Satan's Plan: The Rapture Plot Continued] and how he has impacted the church [Satan's Plan: The Churchoutlined how he has gone about laying this ground work.  He has pulled large masses of church going folks away from the actual Truth of God's Word and he has deterred countless others from going to church because of the hypocrisy and contradictions in their teachings of traditions of men over God's Word. Satan has masses of individuals prepped for a "rapture" and to be "caught up" and "taken first" in deception of folks not knowing the difference in a false one coming in the 6th Trump versus Jesus Christ coming in the 7th Trump.  The signs are all outlined for us in the Gospels and Revelation, so let's dig in and dissect the Truth so as not to be deceived.

Antichrist simply means "instead of Christ".  Satan is going to come in the 6th Trump as Christ.  He is going to put on quite the show so we for certain need to all ready ourselves to not be deceived.  God knows that Satan is going to be so convincing He even shortened the time from 7 years (Daniel 9:27) to 3 1/2 years (Revelation 12:6) to 5 months (Revelation 9:5) just so His very Elect (the ones He can count and rely on as proved in the 1st earth/heaven age) would not be deceived....Satan is going to be that good at carrying out his deception of pretending to be Christ.

Mark 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days.  ... and Matthew 24:22

The five months spoken of in Revelation 9:4-6 is that shortened time for which Antichrist will be on this earth.  It will be a time of tribulation for those that have the Truth of God's Word and know that he is not Christ.  It will be a time of great deceit for everyone else.  Those deceived will be the "ones taken" so to speak in that they are "taken" from knowing who Christ is.  Their tribulation will come in the 7th Trump when the true Christ returns and they wish for the mountains to fall on them Revelation 6:15-17.

From Daniel 9:27 we learn that the time of Antichrist will be broken into two segments.  The oblation will cease because the majority will believe that Satan is Christ.  Reminder to not get confused regarding the 7 years spoken of in Daniel as that time was shortened to the now five months.  The two segments are discussed in many other Scriptures such as in Mark 13 .... with the 1st segment being 2 1/2 months and that of the Political Beast and the 2nd segment being the remaining 2 1/2 months and that of Antichrist coming in to "heal" the deadly wound of the Political (one world system) Beast.  Satan is going to come in "bringing peace" ... He is coming peacefully and prosperously whereas Christ is not coming to bring peace in the 7th Trump.  This Religious Beast is going to bring about the tribulation of the Elect.  The second tribulation will be for all those deceived at the point that the One True Christ returns in the 7th Trump.  Revelation 13 outlines just how miraculous that Religious Beast is going to be and what he will be able to do.  The one thing he will not be able to do is touch one hair on the elect's head Revelation 2:10 & Revelation 9:4-5.

Matthew 10:34  Think not that I am come to send peace on earth:  I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Posts to follow will address all of this in much greater detail.  Forthcoming will be more on those taken, those delivered up, the only unforgiveable sin, seals/trumps/vials, 5th, 6th, 7th trumps.  

I Am Against Those That Teach Fly Away Doctrine

Ezekiel 13 Informs us how to identify a false prophet and what God will do to them.  It also addresses God being against those that teach fly away doctrine.  Yes, God knew that the Rapture Doctrine would be a part of Satan's game plan and He warns against it in the Old Testament.

Ezekiel 13:17-23  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, 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?  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?  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.  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.  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:  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.""

**"pillows to all armholes" = prevents you from outstretching your arms up to God...When we reach up to God for His strength and for His help we will prevail over Satan.

**"kerchiefs" = covers your head/eyes and prevents you from God's Truth.

Satan's Plan: The Rapture Plot Continued

In the Satan's Plan: The Rapture Plot post the Rapture Plot was discussed and taken to task as it is not Scriptural.  Below is a comprehensive review by The Shepherd's Chapel (and available from their library) of two books by Dave MacPherson, The Incredible Cover-Up and The Rapture Plot.

"Will Christ Return Twice?:  Many modern day churches teach that our Saviour Jesus Christ will return twice, one to rapture His church and a second time for judgment known as the Day of the Lord.  Many Christians will be surprised to learn that early churches only taught a single return of Christ at the seventh and last trump of Revelation.  In fact, the "theory" that Jesus would secretly come to "rapture away" His church before the seventh trump has been taught for less than 200 years.  The relatively new rapture teaching in mainline churches has become so pervasive that most of those churches no longer use the term "rapture theory" but now elevate it to the "rapture doctrine."
"What Does The Bible Say?:  Christians have always had to be careful of blindly learning the traditions of men rather than relying solely on God's Word.  If we only listen to the Words of Jesus as found in Matthew Chapter 24 and Mark Chapter 13 there would be no confusion.  Jesus tells us plainly that a great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world to this time, would occur before He would return.  He further says that unless those days of great tribulation be shortened that no flesh would be saved, but for the elect's sake those days would be shortened.  In other words, His church would exist throughout the great tribulation period."
"How Did The Rapture Theory Spread?:  If the Rapture Theory/Doctrine is not in the Bible then how did it all start and how could it possibly have spread to the point most churches now teach it as doctrine?  The Incredible Cover-Up answers these important questions.  You will learn a key origin of the Rapture Theories in 1830 starting from the babbling of a church member who thought she was dying to a book written by a charismatic minister some 23 years later detailing those babblings and calling them a new revelation of a pre-tribulation rapture of the church.  From that point, the incredible rapture theory story gradually grew into almost universal acceptance as doctrine.  Today, many churches do not tolerate even questioning the rapture by their members.  It is time all Christians learn the truth directly from God's Word."
"More Rapture Theory Background:  Author Dave MacPherson's "The Incredible Cover-Up" created quite a stir among Christians who were surprised to learn the origins of the Rapture Theory taught by most of today's churches.  Through the years Mr. MacPherson continued to learn more details behind the rapid spreading of this dangerous teaching.  Why when faced with the facts about the Rapture Theory have so many religious leaders dug in their heels as they rabidly defend and promote what they now consider to be the Rapture Doctrine?  "The Rapture Plot" now presents even more documentation and provides new evidence and chronological history behind the spread of a false and dangerous teaching."
"Answering The Critics:  Since the publication of "The Incredible Cover-Up" critics have tried to say there is not enough evidence to prove a Rapture Theory link to a few local charismatic churches in the early to mid-1800's in England.  The critics prefer to teach that many 1800's church leaders came to the same conclusion that the Bible can be interpreted to teach pre-tribulation or secret rapture of the faithful church to spare them the torment of the great tribulation.  Dave MacPherson's additional and comprehensive research lays that claim bare.  MacPherson carefully documents literally every piece of information showing the origin and spread of the Rapture Theory and exactly where that information resides.  Now any interested person can duplicate MacPherson's research and come to their own conclusion.  Anyone who has been exposed to the Rapture Theory/Doctrine should read the truth about why this false teaching exists."
"Review of Modern Church Rapture Proponents:  There are now many new books by Rapture scholars which attempt to change history in order to hide the origins of the Rapture Theory.  These works are authored by some of the best known modern church leaders and MacPherson methodically takes them all to task.  The reader will clearly see how some modern teachers have sought to pervert history for their own ends and others have copied their works rather than do their own research.  One can only conclude that some church leaders who teach this false doctrine and traditions have blindly decided to dig in their heels rather than to admit error in the Rapture Theory.  They assume the majority of church leaders must be right, and hence they and their followers fall victim to the traditions of men."

Satan's Plan: The Rapture Plot

In the Satan's Plan: The Church post Satan's deception through the Church itself was discussed.  The biggest betrayal of God's Plan and His people is that of The Rapture Plot.  Just within the last 200 years, Satan has accomplished such a twisting of Scripture that people no longer try to understand the book of Revelation or realize that Satan will be coming first posing as Christ Himself since they are awaiting a pre-tribulation "rapture".  All of this is lies and just like there not being an "apple" in the Garden of Eden, there is no pre-tribulation rapture in the Bible either.  Following the Rapture Theory posts will soon be a further discussion on the 6th versus 7th Trumps and Satan's ultimate twisting of God's Plan.

The "rapture theory" came into existence in 1830 via a family in Europe who had dreams and visions.  One of those family members was Margaret McDonald and she had a vision while stammering in tongues this "any moment doctrine" and she claimed it felt evil at the first of the vision.

So regardless of the bizarre origin or the blatant disregard for it not being taught in any capacity prior to the mid-1800s, a pre-tribulation rapture is not Scriptural.  So for now let's leave the evil, craziness of its birth, and just look at the Scriptures that are typically utilized for its "proof".

I Thessalonians 4:13-17 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.  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.  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.  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: 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.

In II Corinthians 5:6-8 To be absent from this flesh body is to be present with the Lord and therefore of course those which are dead ("asleep") shall rise first with Christ when He comes in the 7th Trump as they are already with Him (Spiritual & Flesh Bodies).  Meaning they are already transformed to their spiritual bodies and so they precede those who are in their flesh bodies at the 7th Trump.  At the 7th Trump all who are in the flesh instantly transform into their spiritual bodies {more on 7th Trump in upcoming post}.  In verse 17 "air" means "breath of life" or spiritual bodies and "clouds" is a colloquialism meaning large group or large congregation.  I Corinthians 15:51-58 & Ecclesiastes 12:6-7

II Thessalonians 2:1-4 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto 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, 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.

In verses 3-4 Let no man deceive you that there be a "falling away first" meaning apostasy....that antichrist is coming first.  The apostasy is the desolator (Satan) sitting where he ought not (coming in place of Christ) and people worshipping him as Christ.  The son of perdition is Satan.  {more on this and II Thessalonians 2 to be discussed in posts about the antichrist and the 6th Trump}.

In Matthew 24:40 the one taken in the field was not "raptured" but "taken" in the sense of falling for antichrist.  When we discuss the Trumps we will dissect these Scriptures in more detail and the ramifications of being deceived by Satan as antichrist.
