Resurrection / Rapture
RESTORING THE APOSTOLIC FOUNDATIONS
Ephesians 2
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through spirit.
There has been much confusion on the RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH.
In 2Thess. 2 The apostle writes about the FALLING AWAY FROM THE FAITH
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 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.
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;
4 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.
First we must know what verse 1 refers to. Below are 2 columns where I have set verses next to each other so we can clearly see the CONTEXT OF THE GATHERING TOGETHER.
The blue high light in 2 Thess. chpt.1:7-10 shows us the clear context of 2 Thess. 2:1... our gathering unto Him
Please note that this can only refer to the 2nd advent : mighty angels, flaming fire taking vengeance, punished with everlasting destruction, when He shall come to be glorified in His saints.
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,...
There is no warrant to change 2Thes.2:1 to a PRE -TRIBULATION RAPTURE. The text must be read in it's context; otherwise we have a pretext. We must not read scripture with a doctrinal bias, but let the scripture give it's own meaning. Then we must adopt our views to the doctrine the word of God teaches.
2 PETER 1
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
Who is this? Many have read that it is the Holy Spirit. But it does not say HOLY SPIRIT. It is that Old Serpent the Devil.
[Rev 12:7-13 KJV] 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].
As Satan is removed from the heavens to the earth he now fulfils the final 3 1/2 years of the 70th week. This is where the Mystery of Iniquity reaches it's height in the appearance of the antichrist.
The church is removed, not by flying away, but by falling away.
The church has from one generation to the next apostatized till we are in the final generation of the faith. Thus you have a 2 edged sword: 1) church falling away 2) Satan cast to the earth to persecute the saints
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 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.
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;
4 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.

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, ...
The church is in APOSTASY
REVELATION 3
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
THE PRE - TRIBULATION RAPTURE CHALLENGE
GREETINGS TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT ARE SAVED THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,
I am challenging the doctrine of the Pre-Trib Rapture theory. In my studies I cannot find scripture that proves the Lord Jesus Christ's coming is imminent ( at any moment ). To many it seems like it doesn't matter as long as He comes back. Some saints say I am a pan- triber: that means which ever way it pans out.
To others it is a secondary issue because it does not affect our salvation.
Is this actually true? Let us search the scriptures for our answer.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. - 2Ti 2:15 KJV
But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. - 2Ti 2:16 KJV
And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; - 2Ti 2:17 KJV
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. - 2Ti 2:18 KJV
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. - 2Ti 2:19 KJV
First the word of God tells us to handle the word accurately; rightly dividing. The apostle then names 2 men who erred teaching that the resurrection is past already there by overthrowing the faith of some. What could they possibly mean by the resurrection is past (already taken place)?
What if there is no pre-trib rapture and the antichrist appears with his false prophet who starts enforcing the mark of the beast? Rev.13. Some of the saints who were taught the any time fly away from the coming trials of the tribulation with it's suffering and martyrdom, will come to the conclusion that they missed the rapture. They are left behind!
Therefore I conclude that what you believe and teach others as to the timing of the RESURRECTION / RAPTURE does affect one's salvation. To overthrow someone's faith is serious business and you will not be found guiltless.

PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE CHALLENGE
EXPOSING THE LIES / THE ORIGIN OF FAKE NEWS
Give unto Me the righteous due as King of the Universe. There are some in My churches that have not this worship or knowledge. I AM the Prince of the earth who is to come to reign very soon.
Antichrist with all of his forces is now bringing about the greatest deception upon the face of the earth. Tell the righteous ones in congress, senate, house, judiciary that prosecution must be swift against treason. They that have done this evil need to be executed / imprisoned according to Military Tribunals.
Laws must be past to stop them in media / entertainment from speaking and putting on shows of President Trump (Or any president) being beheaded, stabbed to death, shot in the head and all the wickedness they portray. They will say it is free speech, their right of free artistic expression. It is an evil that cannot be permitted. True freedom and it's expression does right, morally good for the Nation. This evil is for the destruction of every right, good moral law. They will not quit, nor give up this rebellion for they are the seed of evil children raised up for this time of : THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY.
2 THESSALONIANS 2
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, ( hinder, restrain ) until he be taken out of the way. 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: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
The more they are exposed, the more they will lie to the American public to hide their hideous deeds.
JOHN 8
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
When My people awaken to their plans of world conquest, their Luciferian roots, child sacrifice, pedophilia, and a host of other sick perversions, then I the LORD will hear their prayers to heal the Nation.
2 Chronicles 7
12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attend unto the prayer that is made in this place. 16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
But if My people do not seek My face and ignore these CRIMES AGAINST NATURE, AGAINST MANKIND, AGAINST THEM THAT DWELL IN HEAVEN : THEN I THE LORD WILL BRING NUCLEAR WAR, DESTRUCTION TO AMERICA.
2 CHRONICLES 7 cont.
19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house? 22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.
JOEL 3
13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. 15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. 16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
You are now in the time space of decision. Will My church serve the Living God, or will they keep silent for their own protection? For I tell you My people as you stand for righteousness against these cursed children you will suffer much. But My suffering is sweet, even the Fellowship of My Suffering I share with My faithful ones who will be martyred. They will reign with the LORD in His throne.
REVELATION 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
The time is here. Decide whom will you serve. For there is no neutrality in My Kingdom. You are either for the Lord or against the Lord. Make up your minds now. For I will comfort My faithful ones even in the midst of great persecution, suffering and affliction. Them that go along with this evil system to save their lives will lose eternal life.
MATTHEW 10
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Tell them My grace is sufficient to them that trust and obey the Lord your God. Those that turn a blind eye to the abominations done upon the face of the earth will be damned. Even as I destroyed whole families for the man who pretended not to see the children being sacrificed to Molech. SO WILL I DO TO THIS GENERATION.
LEVITICUS 20
3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. 4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not: 5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people. 6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. 7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.
I Am the LORD God Almighty Creator of heaven and earth. Will you dare disobey My commandments and think you have a free pass to enter My glory? You refuse to do right and suffer for My name's sake. You will be brought down to the sides of the pit with them who are fearful ( cowards ) and would rather live in these abominations. Sacrifice your fortunes, homes, treasures, even your own lives for righteousness, or you will not enter the Kingdom of God. The time is now to act. Soon antichrist will appear. I the Lord am with you. Be faithful unto death and you will receive a crown of Righteousness that day for eternity. I the LORD your God have said it. I will perform it to the letter. Pray, seek My face for the time of trouble is coming.
The LORD your Deliverer, the Lord Jesus Christ.
His servant, Peter

MATT.24 COMPARED TO REV.6
Mat 24:3-14 KJV] 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
