Three Different Raptures

The Pre-Tribulation Rapture

John 14: 1- 3 NLT     "Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in Me.  There is more than enough room in my Father's home.  If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?  When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.

1 Thessalonians 4:  13 - 18 NLT     And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope.  For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with Him the believers who have died.  For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God.  First, the Christians who have died will from their graves.  Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.  Then we will be with the Lord forever.  So encourage each other with these words.

1 Thessalonians 1:  10  NLT     And the speak of how you are looking forward to the coming of God's Son from heaven - Jesus, Whom God raised from the dead.  He is the One Who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming Judgment.

1 Thessalonians 5:  9, 10 and 23  NLT     For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out His anger on us.  Christ died for us so that, whether we are dead or alive when He returns, we can live with Him forever.  Now may the God of Peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.

2 Thessalonians 2:  7  NLT    For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the One Who is holding it back steps out of the way.

I have started with the Pre-Tribulation Rapture (HARPAZO/RAPIERUM (means "to be taken or snatched away or caught up")  Some people do not believe in the pre-trib rapture, they believe that the church has to go through part or all of the Great Tribulation in order to be redeemed by Jesus Christ.  Most people forgotten about the grace that is poured out upon man when Jesus died on the cross.  Jesus gave us His Grace and Mercy so that we would have the forgiveness of sins.  Why would Jesus want to put His Bride/The Church through a beating?  There are a lot more of scriptures that are basis for a pre-trib rapture.  First off, WE/THE CHURCH is not called unto wrath, Jesus is not going to pour His wrath on His Bride.  Second we have the Promise that Jesus gave us in John 14 that He is preparing a place for His Bride/The Church.  Once He has completed our place that Jesus is preparing/building up in heaven, Jesus is going to step out on a cloud, and sound the trumpet, then the dead in Christ will rise first, and we who are alive will rise next up to the clouds where we will be with Jesus forever.  Now in order for the church to go through the Tribulation the Holy Spirit will have to take His hands off the church, and there is no where in scripture that the Holy Spirit leaves the church or the Bride of Christ.  The Holy Spirit along with the Church is holding the evil one who is coming on the earth for the Great Tribulation.  But in order for the anti-christ to be revealed, the Holy Spirit needs to step aside, and as long as the church is here, the anti-christ will never be revealed.  He will continue to work in the secret waiting for the time of his arrival.  You see we are living in the times of the labour pains, and once the labour pains have come to fruition, the rapture will happen, and the anti-christ will be revealed.  Therefore; there is no way that the church can go through the Great Tribulation whether half or all seven years.  The church has t dissappear first before the anti-christ can come to fruition.  The One Who (HOLY SPIRIT) holding it (ANTI-CHRIST) back steps OUT OF THE WAY...  This is what those who believe in a Mid-Tribulation or Post-Tribulation do not understand.  

I have heard many preachers say that the AGE OF GRACE ends at the SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.  That is incorrect teaching.  The AGE OF GRACE ends at the Rapture of the Church before the Great Tribulation Period.  There is no church in the Great Tribulation Period, there are ONLY Tribulation Saints, the ones who are under the altar in Revelations that are waiting for God to revenge their blood.  But they are also not protected by God Himself, because the only ones God seals are the 144,000 Jewish Virgin Men, they are the only ones that will have the seal of God.  The rest of humanity will have to face the Great Wrath of God, and those who do become saved, they will not have any AUTHORITY over the demonic realms, the will have to be slaughtered through the guilloteen that will be set up during that time.  It will not be a time of peace, nor will it be a time of joy, it will be a time like no other, there will be war, famine, and annhialation of humanity.  More than half of the population will be killed through wild beasts, other people, war, pestilence (disease), famine, and cannibalism.  Those who do not give their lives over to Jesus before the church is taken, will not have a second chance, they will believe every word of the anti-christ, and his minions the false prophet, and the beast.  Without the Holy Spirit, and the church there is no hope for mankind.  The ones who make it to the Second Coming of Christ will be saved, they will enter the Millenial Kingdom, and those who make war against Jesus and His people the Jews, will be killed, and they will go to hell, they will not go into the Millenial Kingdom.
