I'LL FLY AWAY, OH GLORY...THE RAPTURE

There are several reasons we know that 2012 is NOT the when the world will end. There are a number of prophecies yet that have to happen before the end. And they cannot happen in one year.

One is an event that will destroy a huge portion of the world's population, a major part of the ocean including ships, will cause the sun to be blocked. You have to wonder if some nut is going to set off a nuclear bomb. But we'll talk about that later.

Right now I want to talk about a huge event that's coming. Most of the churches don't teach this because they don't understand it and it scares them. So their solution is to just ignore it. Not a good choice. If you believe the Bible is the word of God, then you can't ignore some of it. If you don't believe it's God's word, then you have worse problems than worrying about whether this part is true or not.

There will come a time, BEFORE the end of the world, when the true Christians will have to be removed from the earth. Let me explain what's going to happen and why.
 
2 Thessalonians 2:7 New American Standard Bible (NASB)  For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains (The Holy Spirit) will do so until he is taken out of the way.
We know the Holy Spirit will never leave a true Christian. (I use the term "true Christian" because there are many pseudo Christians.
We also know the antichrist cannot take over unless the RESTRAINER (Holy Spirit) is removed from the equation.

The only way to accomplish a total removal of the Holy Spirit is to also remove the true Christians at the same time. This is what some refer to as the Rapture. The Bible calls it the great catching away. When the original Greek text was translated for the Romans, the phrase "great catching away" was translated as "rapturo" which means rapture.

When this occurs, the world will not be able to ignore it. It will happen all over the world, in every country. Some who had heard the truth but thought they had plenty of time to get ready, will be left. To make it at this time they will have to die for their faith because the persecution of these new Christians will start happening. More about that later.

The news media will try to find an explanation because they will refuse to believe what the Bible has foretold. They'll even try to convince you that aliens snatched everyone away. There will be total chaos. Think about it. Some who get taken will be in their vehicles at the time. Now you've got vehicles without drivers crashing all over the world. You'll have everyone's relatives and/or friends who just disappear. I don't know about you, but I do not want to get left.

Here are the prophecies from the Bible to back this up.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52
"Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed  in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye"

Revelation 3:10-11 "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the Earth." "Behold, I come quickly!"

 Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, no, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only."

 Matthew 24:40-42
"Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.   "Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming."

Look at the evil in the world now with children being molested and killed, women being kidnapped and killed, countries with their finger on the destruct button just waiting to release that nuclear bomb. Perversions, killings, rapings, drug cartels, backbiting, brother turning against brother, children against their parents….all of these are at all time high. Like I said before: YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET!

How much longer can it go on….Don't make the mistake of thinking Satan is stupid or that he's ignorant of what's coming. He knows and he's fighting it tooth and toenail trying to overpower the ONLY TRUE GOD. Satan will never be able to sit on a throne above God. It didn't happen, isn't happening and won't happen.

Next blog….more signs we're in the last days.
