Many books have been written concerning the rapture and it is a billion

dollar business. Is the rapture theory Biblical? or is it a mystical Harry

Potter like fairy tale? both Harry Potter books and the rapture books can be
trace back to the occult.

The rapture books have little to do with the Second Advent of Christ. They
are more about politics than theology, more about man’s involvement in
world affairs than God’s involvement, more about fiction than Bible truth.

Books by Tim Lahaye, John Hagee, Pat Robinson, Jack van Impe, Bennie
Hinn, Jerry Jenkins, Thomas Ice, Ed Hinson, Hal Lindsey, Ken Copeland,
Ken Hagin, Rex Humbard, Grant Jefferies, John Walvoord, Rod Parsley,
Dave Hunt, Clarence Larkin, Mark Hitchcock, and most of the Armageddon
and Last days events books, are used to promote an anti-reformation, anti-
protestant and Anti-Christ doctrine.

What is the difference between the Rapture and the Second coming?

The Second coming of Christ is often confused with the Rapture… The
word rapture does not appear in the Bible but some people have often used
the Greek word harpazo – caught up for the rapture.

Harpazo – caught up and second coming is the same event. Let me

repeat…SAME EVENT…1Thess.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, 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. (GK.
Arpaghsomeqa, harpazO v_ 2Fut Pas Ind 1 Pl SHALL-BE-BEING-SNATCHED)
The Bible is clear.. When Jesus returns… He will return the same way as He
left. 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.

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

Vs.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.

Jesus was taken or caught up in a cloud… The Greek word for caught up in
Acts 1:11 is analambanO, - one being taken up.

Is there a conspiracy to keep the truth about the blessed hope hidden? Is
the rapture Biblical? The Second Coming of Christ is mention or alluded to
more than 1800 times. Bible writers wrote about the Coming of Christ more
than any other subject.

When Jesus returns, He will come in a cloud – 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.

Christ return will be not be secret, nor quiet, nor will only a select group
see Him… The dead or those who fell asleep in Jesus will be resurrected,

And the righteous living will be caught up with the resurrected saints to
meet the Lord in the air.

1 Cor.15: 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet
shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be
changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put
on immortality.

What happens to the wicked when Christ returns?

Rev.6:15 and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men,
and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every
free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

vs.16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the
face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 2
Thess. 2:8 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:

The Bible is clear… the wicked living will see Christ Second Coming, they
will try to hide, and be destroy with the brightness of the Second Coming.

What happens to the wicked dead when Christ returns? Jn.5:28 Marvel not
at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall
hear his voice, vs. 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto
the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection
of damnation.
There are two resurrections. One of life and the other is of damnation
(death) The is a period of 1000 yrs that separate the first and second
resurrection.

Rev.20:5-6 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years
were finished. This is the first resurrection.

vs.6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such
the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years

How long will the righteous be in heaven and what will they be doing?

Rev. 21:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was
given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped
the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their
foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years.

What happens at the end of the Millennium?

Rev.21: 2 And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from
God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Rev.20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed
out of his prison,

vs.8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters
of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number
of whom is as the sand of the sea. vs.9 And they went up on the breadth of
the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved
city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same
word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and
perdition of ungodly men.

vs.8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the
Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

vs.9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should
perish, but that all should come to repentance.
vs.10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which
the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt
with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be
burned up.

Rev.21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death.

Rev.16:15-17 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and

keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

vs.16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew
tongue Armageddon.

vs.17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came
a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is
done.

Armageddon is the place where the Lord will destroy the wicked once and
for all. The whole earth will be cleansed with fire, and than it will be made
new again.

Rev.21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and
the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 3And I heard
a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with
men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God
himself shall be with them, and be their God.

vs.4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be
no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain: for the former things are passed away.

vs.5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Jesus will bring the Temple or the Tabernacle with Him at the end of the
1000 years.

In summary, the events that will take place at the Second Coming of Christ
are:

The Dead in Christ will be resurrected;

The Righteous Living will is caught up;

The wicked living will be destroy with the brightness of the Second
Coming;

Satan will be bound on earth with no one to tempt for 1000 years; (bound
by a chain of circumstance – out of business)

The Righteous will live and reign with Christ for a 1000 years in heaven;

At the end of the thousand years,

The wicked will be part of the second resurrection, Satan will convince
them to take over the New Jerusalem which they will see as the city come
down from heaven;

Fire will destroy Satan, the wicked, and sin. The effects of the fire will be
everlasting. Sin and sinners will be forever eradicated from the earth.

The earth will be cleansed and made new;

The Tabernacle of God (Jesus is the Tabernacle) will live with man.

The Righteous will live on the earth with Christ forever.

The Second coming is not the secret rapture, no secret snatch, no second
chance, no third earthly Jerusalem temple, no seven year tribulation, no
anti-Christ making a new covenant with Israel, no two plans for salvation
(one for Jews and the other for non Jews), no eternal torment (the effects
of the fire is eternal).

Yes beloved, in the beginning God took chaos and made cosmos… soon
He will reverse His creation and take cosmos and make chaos, He will
destroy this old sinful world with fire and than He will take chaos and make
cosmos…

Rev. 21:4 and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall
be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any
more pain: for the former things are passed away..vs.5 Behold I make all
things new.

This is the New World Order… not as the man envision it but as God see it.

Study to show thyself approve… Ye shall know the truth and the truth will
make you free.
