What would happen if the sun does not shine and give off its much-needed heat? What would happen to the earth? It would be very dark place, right? What about all the plants and trees? They would all die. What about people? If there are no plants, people will not be able to live either. And what would happen if the moon does not illuminate at night? It would always be a pitch-dark world.

The Lord teaches us what will take place after the tribulation here on earth. It would be somewhat unfair if the world continued on regardless even after the born-again people suffered through the tribulation. But the bible informs us that the world will be destroyed immediately.

WE MUST BELIEVE IN THE TEACHINGS CONCERNING THE EVENTS AFTER THE TRIBULATION

There is no reason for God to let this world continue on after the born-again children of God go through the Tribulation. In addition, can you imagine the stars falling from the sky like celestial missiles? Have you seen the movies ‘Armageddon’ or ‘Deep Impact’? These movies are about some heroic individuals saving the earth from an asteroid that is falling toward the earth at a tremendous speed, ready to bring on the total destruction of the earth.

In a desperate act to save the earth, the main characters fly a spaceship to outer space and track the asteroid, and they then destroy the asteroid in the sky with a nuclear bomb. It was impressive to see how a single meteorite having been blown apart from the asteroid could fall into the Atlantic Ocean, which created a huge disastrous tidal wave (tsunami), and wiped away large cities on the east coast of the United States.

The earth will be like that in the end. Such science fiction movies are not made without any basis. It is actually very possible. The scientists inform us that the dinosaurs had suddenly disappeared from the earth because such an asteroid or a meteorite with a diameter reaching a few kilometers had fallen on the earth and the resulting dust from this devastating impact had covered the whole atmosphere of the earth, which lead to an ice age.

By the way, when the Lord says, “I will do this,” we should understand what He is saying and believe in what He says. In reality, it is very difficult for us to imagine such a thing. We sometimes see disastrous events like planes crashing down, rocks falling from the mountain, and large ships sinking. But it is hard to imagine the stars of the universe crashing into one another, large meteorites and asteroids speeding down like unguided missiles and crashing into the earth at an amazing speed, and with the result the earth immediately turning into a ball of fire, eventually bringing its end speedily. But they have made these frightening movies under the validation of scientists because the possibility of such disasters occurring is more than enough.

It is hard to comprehend the Lord’s teachings about the period after the tribulation with our limited intelligence, but I believe it is very possible because that is exactly what the Lord tells us in the Scriptures. If the earth is totally demolished, it will be impossible for us to live on it unless the Lord renews it. That is why the saying “Behold, I make all things new” is recorded in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 21:5). The Lord says that He will make anew this world and will reign with us for a thousand year, and He will later dwell with us eternally in a place called “a new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1).

The Lord continues, “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth WILL MOURN, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”

It is said the signs of the Lord’s coming will appear in heaven. We do not know exactly how the signs will manifest it self, but the Bible tells us that He will come with a glorious and magnificent presence surrounded by the host of archangels. The sky will be full of magnificent stars shining ever so brightly. And the angels and the host of Heaven will enter amongst the white clouds, and the Lord will appear, sitting on the white throne in the sky. It teaches us that all those who are alive after the tribulation will see this glorious sight with mourning and anguish as they actually see the coming of the Lord after the showing of these many signs.

Why would people cry at that time? Those who do not believe in the Lord WILL CRY in FEAR of the JUDGEMENT because they did not believe, and those who do not believe with the correct faith will cry regretfully for their ignorance of the true gospel. Some will say, “Oh, God lives, and Jesus is God,” and cry regretfully for not having believed.

And some who did believe in Jesus but were not born again for they had been misled in their faith will cry out in fear of the judgment to come, as they see with their very eyes the coming of the Lord. If that is what the Lord said, that is the way it is going to be. Some people live in ‘cuckoo land’ all of their own making as if they are going to live forever, and they steadfastly and firmly believe that the universe will never be destroyed. But the end of this world will definitely come when the Lord returns, and whether our Lord will come shortly or not depends on whether the Lord’s will has been completed or not.

When the gospel is shared even to the ends of the earth and all those who ‘deserve’ the receiving of salvation have received their salvation, then the Lord will completely demolish and send the host of angels with the sounds of the trumpet to bring together the chosen people from one end of the earth to the other. It means that the Lord will send the host of angels after the seventh trumpet sound following the tribulation to gather all the elect from the ends of the earth. There will be this glorious rapture on earth then.

The rapture will occur with the coming of the Lord upon this world when the Lord returns with the sound of the trumpet and of the archangel. It means that the Lord will lift the believers up to Him in the sky then. The stars of the sky will fall toward the earth like unguided missiles, and huge tidal waves and other disasters will then take place, making the earth an extremely difficult place to live in. God also said that He would return to this world after the Tribulation and rapture the righteous who had lived through and survived all these disasters as well as the believers who are already dead. This is the time when the rapture will occur.

Why would the believers be lifted up to the sky? It is because this land will no longer be suitable for human habitation. How can we live on this land after such decimation? Of course the Lord could renew the whole universe just simply saying these words, “Let there be a renewal of the universe” like the time when He had created the world. But the Lord says that the only the true believers will be raptured at that time.

THE RAPTURE

The Apostle Paul says in the First Thessalonians chapter 4 that our Lord will rapture the believers with the sound of the trumpet of the archangel. It says that the believers will be lifted up to the sky. Let us now look at the 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 together:

“But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will DESCEND FROM HEAVEN with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the CLOUDS to MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”

We must understand what the Lord is saying to us about the things that will happen after the tribulation through the Word, which is recorded in Scripture. The Lord says through Paul, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall alwaLord” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

The Word states clearly that the signs of the Lord’s coming will appear after the Tribulation with the sun losing its light and heat, the moon also will give up its light, and the stars will fall away. The Scriptures also tell us that He will descend upon this world with the archangels and the sound of the trumpet, and send the angels to gather God’s elect from the ends of the earth. Here the word “to gather” really means the “rapture.” When we look at this, we can see that our Lord will rapture us after the Tribulation when the end is very near.ys be with the

God commands the angels to gather all God’s elect from one end of the earth to the other. The words ‘God’s elect’ refers to those who have received salvation by believing in the only true gospel of the water and the blood of Jesus Christ in their hearts. God is doing this to fulfill His objective of accepting them as His children and to eventually live with them for all eternity. These words of God means that after the Tribulation He will send the angels to gather all the elect in Christ, those who have received salvation and eternal life and become sinless children of God by believing in His gospel of the water and the blood, and then rapture them all.

Those who have been born again will definitely be raptured after the Tribulation. Even though you may have never experienced flying in a plane, God will have you flying at high speed at that time. All the overweight people will be raptured and including the underweight people will be raptured as well. The born-again will be raptured regardless of their weight. The Scriptures tell us that ‘only’ the children of God who have been born again of water and the Spirit will be raptured.

Those who believe in eschatology with their own man made set of deadlines interpret the number 144,000 recorded in the Book of Revelation as believers of their own respected denominations. Some denominations in this world even hand out identification cards as a proof of the ones ‘chosen to be raptured’. And some of these groups have already passed membership beyond that number, and if that were the case, it means that they no longer need to evangelize.

These man made claims do not make any sense at all. Even the amongst the Evangelicals there is much confusion about the rapture. We must simply believe exactly according to the recorded Word in the Scriptures.

What do the Scriptures say about the rapture? The Scriptures clearly tell us that only the children of God who have been born again of the water and the Spirit will be raptured. Concerning this number 144,000, which is recorded in the Book of Revelation, is the number referring to the number of people from ‘each Israelite tribe’ who will be receiving salvation at the end time (Revelation 7:4).

And the number of the Gentiles who eventually receive salvation during the Great Tribulation will be COUNTLESS as it is recorded, “After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands” (Revelation 7:9). People generally come to a false and senseless conclusion because they interpret the Scriptures anyway they want to.

One thing the bible is very clear about is that a person with sin in their hearts WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE RAPTURED regardless of their denomination.

We Must Not Be Deceived by the Doctrine of “Pre-Tribulation Rapture”

The Evangelicals claim the theory of “pre-tribulation rapture,” that is to say; the rapture will come before the Seven Year Tribulation. Therefore they claim the following, “You will not even have an opportunity to spend the riches of this world when you are raptured. So instead you should give the riches of the world to the church as an offering and use it for the Lord’s work.” This is really a fantastic idea for requesting offerings and donations. It is their intentions to sanctify their religious leaders and to accumulate vast riches of this world with this false doctrine of the rapture.

Even in our locality, I am really dumbfounded to see that there is a certain church that is collecting funds to build a three million dollar edifice of a church in these economically difficult times. These people are tragically using the false pre-tribulation doctrine of the rapture to accumulate their own wealth.

If I were so sure that the rapture would take place before the Tribulation, even I would be up there with them telling you also, “Give everything you have to the Lord and go before the Lord without having any money left over.” However, we find in the Scriptures that the time of the rapture is definitely not before the tribulation.

The Seven Year Tribulation can be distinguished by he first three and a half years and the second three and a half years. The Scriptures inform us that the Antichrist will appear after the first half of the Tribulation and set an idol in his own image in the Temple of the Israelites, claiming, “I am God.” The Antichrist will rule over the world during the latter half of the Tribulation and persecute the righteous people of God, and the rapture will occur during the second half of the tribulation although the Lord did not specify exactly when it would occur.

Why does He not make this clear to us? It is because the lives of the believers would be in danger if the exact time of the rapture were to be known. Those unbelievers would persecute the bornagain believers to death if they knew exactly when the rapture would occur. God the Father has not specified the exact date of the rapture, because it is for our protection even though we understand that it will happen some time during the second three and a half years period of the Tribulation. This is the WISDOM of God.

During the Tribulation period, most of the born-again believers will be martyred. But some of them will escape and survive. The Lord will finally destroy this land at a time when the gospel can no longer be evangelized, and He will appear in the heavens and catch all of us up with Him in the sky. He will first lift up the brothers and sisters who are sleeping in the grave, and then He will transform all the surviving believers everywhere in this world and lift them up too.

The Lord told us this clearly in the Word. Therefore we shall not be deceived by the false doctrine of pre-tribulation rapture. Do not be deceived. One thing is very clear: We will be raptured after the Tribulation. Our Lord said that He would send His angels to gather us from every corner of the earth after the Tribulation. We must believe in this steadfastly and unwaveringly.

There are many around who claim to have been born again and to have received salvation. But the reality is that those who have not been born again through the gospel of the water and the Spirit do not have the Holy Spirit within them. Those who do not have the Spirit within them are not essentially the righteous, no matter how much they claim that they do not have sin.

You must truly become the righteous, not just claiming to be the righteous superficially. What does God’s Word in Matthew 24:41 tell us, “Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left,” This verse means that God will look into people’s hearts and see whether or not they have received the remission of sin through His gospel of the water and the Spirit and thus have the Spirit within them, and He will take only those who have the Spirit within them. Those who merely claim to have been born again just by lip service will not be lifted up.

One thing we must understand clearly is that those who say “Do not accumulate wealth. Give all you have to the Lord because you will be raptured before the Tribulation” are all FALSE PROPHETS. And those who claim to have received the remission of sin without the Holy Spirit within them are not truly the righteous before the Lord. We must also understand is the fact that the Tribulation as mentioned in the bible will definitely happen and we should believe in the coming of the Lord, living faithfully serving the gospel, and preparing our hearts.

The Lord tells us, “Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” We must do exactly what He tells us to do. These are the times in which we are living of much deception, propagated by the false prophets. They keep telling us, “Now is the time just before the Tribulation.

But we will be raptured before the Tribulation because we are the born-again. We will go before the presence of the Lord anyway. So people let’s give all the material wealth to the Lord and prepare ourselves to meet the Lord.” They keep deceiving the people in this manner.

There will be one more thing that will occur throughout the world, when people forget about their respected families and schools, just to get together in their churches, and cry out “Lord, Lord,” like the Dami Mission.

Because such phenomena occurs more frequently these days, we should be ever more focused and live out our lives with greater dedication to the evangelization of the gospel. We must believe in the fact that the rapture is an event that will occur when the end of the world is imminent, and we must be faithful in our responsibilities until the day we will no longer are able to preach the gospel.

And at the end period, the unified government of the world will do everything in its power to persecute the righteous believers and distort their true faith. At that time the preceding servants of God will be persecuted first, and many will be martyred and go on ahead before the Lord. But I tell you do not be afraid. Though some will go before others, our final destination has already been decided.

Please do not be deceived by all the false doctrines of the rapture, and stand fast to the very end. In Christianity there are many strange things occurring these days, because false prophets have spread much of their false doctrines. Many have sold their houses and even divorced because they have fallen for the false doctrine of eschatology.

The false prophets who claim to be the righteous just by giving lip service are the tares that Satan has planted in this world. Their purpose is to shut up people’s hearts, so that they will not believe in the fact that the end time is very close.

Isaiah 64:6 But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

WHY IS CHRISTIANITY IN SO MUCH DECLINE ALL OVER THE WORLD?

Why are many Christians turning into ATHEISTS or New Agers? Why are christian youths leaving the church in droves? Why are many christians still in agony of their sins whilst claiming to have been saved and languishing in self deception ? Why are some Christians comfortable to be tagged as sinners even when they should have been made sanctified and RIGHTEOUS by God through His gospel of truth ? Why is present-day Christianity unable to truly solve the problem of sins for people and instead, have laid heaven burdens on them, thereby leaving many desolate and depressed, and eventually turning their back on God to their own detriment?

It all boils down to the fact that present-day Christianity has indeed lost the light of the TRUE AND COMPLETE gospel of water and spirit which grants more ASSURANCE and the HOLYSPIRIT to all who understands and wholeheartedly believes in it.
