RAPTURE: SATAN'S SECRET WEAPON

RAPTURE: SATAN’S SECRET WEAPON

The rapture doctrine is one doctrine that is very common amongst Christians the world over, and one that gives uncommon hope to the average Christian  but I have come to discover through prayerful and diligent study of the word of God that this doctrine is false, and the hope which Christians have from this doctrine is missed placed.

Not only that this doctrine is false but is actually a well orchestrated propaganda by the agents of devil to achieve an evil aim, this I discovered through historical facts. They introduced it into Christianity and allowed Christians who got fascinated by it to carry on the work of promoting it.

I also discovered through research, a secret technology which I  call the GREATEST WITCHCRAFT INVENTION; which some scientist that are satanic agents have created to make good the rapture doctrine and further deceive many at a grand level. This technology is called Project Blue Beam.

First lets’ see how false is this rapture doctrine.

SUMMARY OF THE RAPTURE DOCTRINE.

This doctrine says that our savior will come secretly to take up his worthy children from the world just before the tribulation that is prophesied to come upon the world. This according to the view will prevent ‘genuine’ Christians from receiving the mark of the beast – the Antichrist.

After seven years the ‘raptured’ saints will come with Christ in glory to destroy the Antichrist, and some more christian who did not bow down to the beast during the tribulation will join them. Before this second coming, Satan through the Antichrist will reign supreme on earth.

IT’S INCONSISTENT WITH THE WORD OF GOD

It will surprise you to know that this rapture thing is not found anywhere in the bible. The scripture that is often used to support this evil doctrine is Matt 24: 40 – 42, wherein Christ said
 

“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.”

Matt 24 : 40 - 42

This scripture is a summary of an illustration which our savior  gave concerning the end-time, showing that there will be two kinds of people

        i        those who are ever ready for His coming.

        ii       those who are not.

Our savior used the story of Noah as the illustration.

“ But as the days of Noe 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.”

Matt 24: 37 - 39

In verse 44 of the same scripture, Christ said

“Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”

Another scripture that is used to further this rapture doctrine is

“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.”

I Thessa 4 : 16 – 17

But Paul was actually using this scripture to console the Thessalonians so that they don’t sorrow in vain for brethrens who are dead.

“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.”

1 Thessa 4 : 13

He is saying that, whether you are alive or dead as long as you are/were faithful when Christ comes all of us dead or alive will meet Him; the dead first – who will be raised immortal, and then those alive – who will be transformed.

But all this will take place during the second coming of Christ which will take place after the antichrist would have been revealed (or appeared) already and bible believing Christains will be deep in the tribulation.

Look at this scripture

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.

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:

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,..” 1 Thessa 2 : 3, 4& 8, 9

This scripture is implying that

<Let no one

Whether Pastors, Prophets, Bishops etc

<Deceive you by any means

Either using text message, false vision/prophesy, wrong doctrines etc

<For that day

That is the second coming of our savior

<Will not come except

The man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition. The man of sin or son of perdition is the ANTICHRIST. This antichrist will exalt himself so that he will be worshiped. Remember Isaiah 14:13, Satan has always wanted to be worshipped.

The second thing that the above scripture is implying is that

Christ will consume the Antichrist with the breath of His mouth and destroy him (antichrist) with the brightness of his coming.

What 1 Thessa 2:3 4; 8, 9 means is that; the second coming of Christ – our savior, will be after the antichrist has showed up which also means that the great tribulation would have come upon us.

Mat 24:21  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Mat 24:22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Our savior told us how His coming will be like; and who and who will see Him.

“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.”

Matt 24 : 30

Everybody shall see Him when He comes. So there is nothing like secret rapture or rapture before tribulation. When Christ said that His coming is like a thief in the night, He does not imply that he will come secretly but that He will come suddenly when everyone least expects it and only the Father knows when. But His coming everyone shall see it including those who rejected Him, and even the antichrist whom He will destroy with the brightness of His coming.

THE RIGHTEOUS AND SINNERS SHALL BE TOGETHER

Christ clearly taught that there will be no separation of the righteous and the wicked until the end of the world. In the parable of the wheat and tares, He said;

“Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”

Matt 13 : 30

To avoid confusion, Christ explained

“The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Matt 13 : 38 - 43

What our savior is explaining is that

A.        the righteous and the wicked shall be together in the world.

B.         the wicked will be destroyed first.

C.        after the wicked have been destroyed “ then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.”

FALSE SECOND CHANCE

The rapture gives false hope. According to the doctrine, if you miss the secret rapture, you can make it in the second coming of Christ. First we need to understand that our God – Yahuwah, has shown us tremendous grace and mercy. Remember that “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God” but our Father out of love that we cannot fully comprehend gave us His “only begotten son that whosever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”

And this son of God – Yahushua the anointed (Christ) gave His all for us – dying our death, going to hell for us and ascended for our justification. That whosoever believeth in Him and forsake their sinful ways shall be saved and the gift of eternal life shall be theirs.

Remember also that the result of our sin and rebelliousness is death – eternal damnation.

What more do we ask for before we give ourselves totally to Him? Eternal life is so simply and freely given to us that its simplicity has become a stumbling block and foolishness to the proud and highly learned, who are heading to destruction as a result of their hard-hardheartedness by which they reject so great a sacrifice made for them and have rather chosen destruction.

Like Thomas who wanted to see the resurrected Christ before believing that He is alive, even so some people want to see Christ before believing in the promise He made. They want to see the fulfillment of the promise before they believe in the promise. They have no faith. To such Christ is saying to them

       John 20:29b … .  blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

And then He added

“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Rev 22 : 11 - 12

There is no second (or is it third) chance. When Yahushua came from heaven to save men by laying down His life as atonement for sin, that was the second chance given to man. All those who reject Him for whatsoever reason are doing so at their own peril.

When our savior comes in fulfillment of the promise He made to us (John 14: 2 - 3), He will reward those who deserve to be rewarded and the others will be bundled into the lake of fire. And that will be it.

 “ …blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. “ John 20 : 29b

HOW IS THE RAPTURE SATANIC

ORIGIN OF DOCTRINE
The rapture doctrine was never taught during the time of the apostles nor after them. It was also not taught by the early church just before the apostate Roman Catholic Church took over. During the time of the Reformers too the doctrine was not taught.  

A Jesuit priest named MANUEL DA LACUNZA (1731 - 1801) laid the foundation of what is today known as the rapture doctrine.

He wrote a manuscript using the pen name Juan Josafa Rabbi BenEzra, the manuscript is titled La Venida del Mesias en Gloria y Magestad (The coming of the Messiah in Glory and Majesty.)

The manuscript was published in 1791. He wrote under a pen name to obscure the fact that he was a catholic priest in order to give the book some kind of acceptance within the Protestantism - his intended audience. All this was part of a plot to take the pressure off the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope. It was known during the time of the reformation that the pope was the supreme embodiment of the spirit of Antichrist and the Catholic Church is the harlot woman of Revelation seventeen. This understanding was responsible for bringing believers out of the Catholic Church.

 

EDWARD IRVING

A ferry Scottish preacher named EDWARD IRVING (1792 - 1834) came in contact with the writing of the Jesuit priest and was deeply moved by it. He translated the work from Spanish to English (ie The coming of the Messiah in Glory and Majesty). It was him who started in 1830 to publicly preach the doctrine of Secret Rapture of the Saints.

Another preacher who was a contemporary of Edward Irving named JOHN NELSON DARBY was the one responsible for popularizing the doctrine through his writing. The doctrine soon spread to America and was popularized there by C. I. SCOFIELD through his Scofield reference bible. The Scofied Bible was responsible for firmly establishing it among protestant bible schools and from there it became popular amongst Pentecostals. This appealed to evangelicals who carried on the preaching without checking out the truth of it through the word of God.

IN A NUTSHELL

In a nutshell, the Catholics concocted it, and sold it to the Protestants and from there to the evangelicals/Pentecostals. Catholic cannot produce anything godly/holy for it is the sit of Satan and the headquarters of his deception activities. What you need to realize is that, it wasn’t taught by Christ or by the apostles or the reformers.

WHAT DOES SATAN STAND TO ACHIEVE WITH IT

Satan gives false hope so that his ultimate aim will be achieved – destruction. You will notice that this rapture thing has become very popular in this end-time through false prophesies and purported visions of some so called ‘men of God’ who claim that we will be ‘raptured’ before the antichrist comes, giving false hope to Christains.

Satan is increasing his deception activity using both his human agents and demons that appear as ‘angels of light’ and ‘ministers of righteousness’. People are speaking from the mouth of familiar spirits yet they think God is showing them some vision of rapture.

MY SECOND DISCOVERY

I discovered that scientist at NASA have created a very demonic technology called BLUE BEAM or PROJECT BLUE BEAM. This will be discussed more in the next article but let me just mention here that the technology can

1. Make selected people disappear as if they were raptured.

2. Make it look as if Christ appeared on the sky or any person in that matter.

3. Make it appear as if you were hearing God speak to you.  

This whole thing sounds unreal but it is true.

In promoting the idea that there is an event called rapture of the saints Satan seeks to blind the eyes of Christains; to condition your mind enough to believe in it, so that when the Project Blue beam is launched, it will appear as if rapture has taken place and as if you missed it and then you will be susceptible to bow to the beast (submitting to the government of the antichrist) without knowing that you are doing so; and that translates to mean that you will drink from the cup of wrath of God. So the rapture thing is like propaganda to prepare the way for project blue beam.

FINALLY

There is nothing like rapture of saints before tribulation. There is only a second coming of Christ which will take place not before the tribulation or before the Antichrist shows up as I have shown through the word of God but after the Antichrist has been revealed to the world.

It is equally erroneous and misleading to teach and believe in rapture as it is not to believe that Christ is coming again literally as He had promised in John 14:2-3.

Him who has promised is able to fulfill his promise – even the devil knows this, and He is able to keep us from the persecution that will fall upon the world, He is able to keep us to the very end. So there is nothing to fear for He who is for us is mightier than them against us.  

PROMISES OF GOD FOR US IN THE END-TIME

Several promises has been made for us in this end-time upon which we should hope and have faith. The psalmist expressed one of such promises in Psalm 46.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;”

Psalm 46: 1 - 2

Verse 11 of the same Psalm 46 says

 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Others promises are

“…lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen….”

Matt 28:20

Also

“Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”

Rev 3:10-11

The above scripture is a powerful scripture and a warning. It is assuring us of the presence of our savior till the very end. The scripture below sheds more light.

“And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.”

John 17:13-15

Our savior was praying for us all – his disciples then and we now, that our heavenly Father keeps us from evil till the very end.

So there is no need to fear as we enter the years of great deception and tribulation. Let the Antichrist show up, and the tribulation come; we shall be here doing one thing: communicating the love of Yahushua.

 “…lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen….”

Matt 28:20

Footnotes

---

Tribulation is a series of severe hardships or trouble or afflictions that will come upon the world during this end-time. See Revelation 24:21- 22

“In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am you may be also.

There are several books and websites showing the history of the rapture doctrine all saying the same thing but in different ways. I found the ones cited in http://www.angelfire.com/mi/Malkayaynu/rapture.html which quoted greatly from the book THE UNBELIEVABLE PRE-TRIB ORIGIN by Dave MacPherson; and also http://www.israeliteunite.com/the-rapture-deception.html, to be useful.
