THE END TIMES AS SPOKEN OF IN THE BIBLE ARE YOU READY?

The Judeo-Christian people are the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. -Gal.3:29 The saga of the God's family treks on across four millennia from the patriarchs to the present time. It has passed through the history of the nation of Israel then on to Calvary to the overflow of Israel's Congregation into the heathen world to birth the Church on the Day of Pentecost in the summer of the crucifixion year. The last two millennia has seen an expansion of Church history and in more recent years the beginnings of restoration of the nation of Israel. Recent years have seen a huge evangelical outreach spreading out to all nations. 1948 saw the nation of Israel restored to sovereignty.

The Messianic movement is gathering momentum as well. Many Jews are now coming to salvation receiving Jesus/Yeshua as their Savior and Lord. It is quite obvious that the Jewish people have a vital role to play in the end time drama. The ever increasing numbers of Jews accepting Jesus/Yeshua as their Savior and coming Messiah is a wonderful new development. But greater things are yet to come. Future times will see the spiritual salvation of the whole Jewish nation. This will also be attended by their national salvation. Jerusalem will be delivered from the surrounding armies of the gentiles. -Joel 2:28-32 These encircling armies will be destroyed by our returning Messiah as they muster north of the city in the Valley of Armageddon. The spiritual and national salvation of all Israel will be a magnificent moment in future holy history. This climactic end time event set forth in End-Time Bible Prophecy is slated to occur very late in the 70th week. -Zech.12:7-13:1 On this great and glorious future day the entire Jewish nation will accept Jesus/Yeshua as their Savior and Messiah. Their coming home to Yeshua/Jesus will not be for them only. Their salvation and restoration is destined to enrich us all. -Rom.11:11-15

1.) When did Jesus tell
his disciples the rapture would occur?

Mat 24:29 Immediately after the
tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars
shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign
of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power
and great glory.

Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and
they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of
heaven to the other.

Mar 13:24 But in those
days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the
moon shall not give her light,

Mar 13:25 And the stars of
heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

Mar 13:26 And then shall
they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

Mar 13:27 And then shall
he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds,
from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Luk 21:25 And there shall
be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth
distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Luk 21:26 Men's hearts
failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on
the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Luk 21:27 And then shall
they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Luk 21:28 And when these things begin
to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption
draweth nigh.

2.) The Bible states repeatedly that his people will go
through tribulation but not face the wrath of God.

Joh 16:33 These things I
have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall
havetribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Act 14:22 Confirming the
souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that
we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

Rom 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in
tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

Rom 8:35 Who shall
separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation,
or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Rom 12:12 Rejoicing in
hope; patient in tribulation;
continuing instant in prayer;

2Co 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be
able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we
ourselves are comforted of God.

2Co 7:4 Great is my boldness of speech
toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am
exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.

1Th 3:4 For verily, when we were with you,
we told you before that we should suffer tribulation;
even as it came to pass, and ye know.

Rev 1:9 I John, who also am your brother,
and companion in tribulation,
and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called
Patmos, for the word of God,
and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but
thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and
are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Rev 2:10 Fear none of
those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you
into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death,
and I will give thee a crown of life.

Rev 7:14 And I said unto
him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of
greattribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb.

3.) Will Christ's coming in
the clouds be a
"secret rapture" as the pre-tribulation rapture teaches?

Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and
every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall
wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

1Th 4:16 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:

1Th 4:17 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.

Mar 14:62 And Jesus
said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power,
andcoming in the clouds of heaven.

Mar 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the
clouds with great
power and glory.

Mar 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and
shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of
the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Mat 24:30 And then
shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the
tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of
heaven with power
and great glory.

Mat 24:31 And he
shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather
together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Act 1:9 And when he
had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud
received him out of their sight.

Act 1:10 And while they looked stedfastly toward
heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

Act 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall
so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Luk 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great
glory.

Luk 21:28 And when
these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your
redemption draweth nigh.

4.) The Bible clearly teaches that the "Day of Christ"
cannot happen until after the Antichrist is revealed.

2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and by our
gathering together unto him,

2Th 2:2 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.

2Th 2:3 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;

2Th 2:4 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.

2Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was
yet with you, I told you these things?

2Th 2:6 And now ye know what
withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

5.) What is the "Day of Christ"? The "Day of
Christ" is referred to 7 times in the Bible:

1Co 1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto
the end, that ye may be blameless in the
day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Co 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan
for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

2Co 1:14 As also ye have
acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours
inthe day of the Lord Jesus.

Phi 1:6 Being confident of this very
thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

The rapture cannot occur until the day of Christ
since that is when the good work of sanctification he began in us will be
complete, and we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

Phi 1:10 That ye may
approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence
till the day of Christ;

Phi 2:16 Holding forth the word of life;
that I may rejoice in the day
of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

2Th 2:2 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.

6.) Jesus' Coming will not be as a thief in the night to those who
are saved.

1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons,
brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that
the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and
safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with
child; and they shall not escape.

1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in
darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light,
and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as
do others; but let us watch and be sober.

But when the Rapture takes place, you will have been left behind
