    • The End Is Near?
    The phrase rapture of the church was a foreign one to me. I never heard it growing up and didn’t believe it was real until I read the Bible. Not only do I now believe in the rapture of the church, I believe it could happen at any moment! This passage of Scripture is what E. Schuyler English called “the first New Testament intimation of the Rapture.” Today we will be encouraged by Jesus’ own promise of it. Next week we’ll look more deeply at the timing of it.

    When i became born again couple years ago, I literally had a dream being raptured. Like violently snatched but it was not painful at all. I saw myself floating into the cyclone of beautiful white clouds. This happened right after a nuclear blast I was snatched before the blast could penetrate into my window at home. That dream was so vivid I’ll never forget it. I e shared this with family and friends about my rapture dream just as you described Pastor Skip.

    I thank the Lord for Skip for this pastor and teacher, so hard to find teachers like this anymore…
    🏡about the place that the Lord will prepare for us, that occurred to me that it would be a very special big room, where it would be just for us, and so many ways that it would be our wonder world !in the Lord, but the most important is that we have the Lord and his people!😇
    Yahweh
    I love you please keep me
    Keep us
    May we remain in Thee
    May I and more and more of us humans be ready
    For Thy secret holy Snatching!
    Amin

    New Yerushalayim is not a cube but liken onto a pyramid. The Throne at the top with a fountain of living waters coming from the Throne, which the living waters turn into a river of living waters that gets deeper and deeper and wider and wider as the base of the city is much much wider than the top just like a mountain.

    Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces.

      God refers this nation's rulers and peoples as being dogs, whom worship a wooden cross, in which God calls them sorcerers of wood. A flesh never being satisfied with life.
      My flesh is not to be given to dogs, although I know of a prophecy. Lucifer with his luscious black locks, killed with the ✝, and as written if any man kill with the sword they also shall be killed by the sword.
      I bare the scars of having already gone, I care and seek to fulfill prophecy yet to be fulfilled.

    If the John 14 passage is describing the Rapture of the Church then we have made Paul a liar because Paul said he was the first to reveal the mystery of the pretrib Rapture.

    No pre-tribulation rapture is in the scriptures.
    And I saw another angel ascending *from the east* having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
    {Revelation 7:2}
    “For as the lightning *cometh out of the east* and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
    {Matthew 24:7}
    And *the sixth angel* poured out his vial [plague] upon the great river Euphrates; and the water [support] thereof was dried up, *that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared*
    And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
    For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, *to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty*
    "Behold, I come as a thief. *Blessed is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments* lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."
    And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
    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*
    {Revelation 16:12-17}
    And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God.
    For true and righteous are his judgments: for *he hath judged the great whore* which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
    {Revelation 19:1-2}
    ...
    Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb *is come* and his wife hath made herself ready.
    And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
    And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, *These are the true sayings of God*
    {Revelation 19:7-9}👈
    ^
    Describing events after Armageddon and the seven last plagues.
    Two resurrections.
    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*
    {John 5:29}
    And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, *both* of *the just and unjust*
    {Acts 24:15}
    *But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished* This is the first resurrection.
    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.
    {Revelation 20:5-6}
    And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and ("""a thousand years""") some to shame and everlasting contempt.
    {Daniel 12:2}

    👑Ezekiel 3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
    🎯19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 🙏❤
    I am not being a fear monger. I am seeing prophecy that was foretold to us in the bible. Signs given to us by God to know the time of Jesus 2nd coming.
    👑Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have FORETOLD YOU ALL THINGS.
    👑1Th 5:4 YOU ARE NOT in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light, children of the day.
    👑John 8:12 He said: I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
    🎯WE are the fig tree generation.🎯
    👑Mat 24:32-34 Now LEARN a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that SUMMER is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This GENERATION shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
    👑Isa 66:8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment? For as soon as Zion was in LABOR she brought forth her children. (MAY 14, 1948 Israel becomes a nation again.) After 2700 yrs, it is once again a nation.
    A GENERATION BEING.....
    👑Psalms 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; (70) and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, (80) yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
    A generation being...
    1948 + 70 = 2018
    1948 + 80 = 2028
    His chosen are raised to him upon his return at the 7th trumpet. We do not suffer his wrath: the 7 vials/bowls. read Psalms 91.
    👑Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that WATCHETH, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

      TIME SHORTENED
      👑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.
      👑Rev 9:5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
      👑Rev 9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

    Pastor SKIP HEITZIG, Why are you Being a Deceiver on Eschatology ?? As 1.Thess.4:15, declares that; ..."We that are Alive and Remain, Shall Not 'PRECEDE' those who are ASLEEP !!" ( the "DEAD IN CHRIST", who will "RISE FIRST", verse 16 )
    Then in verse 17, we are told, that; ..." We the Living, the ones SURVIVING" ( the Tribulation, as per the Greek Text ) "Will be CAUGHT-UP Together with THEM". ( these "DEAD In CHRIST" that will "RISE FIRST" )
    And the Apostle PAUL, in 1.Cor.15:50-52, tells us that; "No RESURRECTION and Subsequent Rapture" is Possible for us "Flesh and Blood" humans, Until we get to that ONE-TIME EVENT, in which we will be "CHANGED" from Mortality to that of Immortality !!
    As The Apostle PAUL Said, that we "Flesh and Blood" LIVING Human beings, "CANNOT INHERIT the Kingdom of GOD" !! ( 1.Cor.15:50 ) And This "CHANGE", ( verse 51-52 ) Will Happen "in a Moment, in the Twinkling of an Eye, at the Last Trump" !! And Cannot HAPPEN, until we get to the VERY END of the TRIBULATION !! As this "ONE-TIME EVENT" of "Being CHANGED", WILL Have to INCLUDE EVERY Possible SAINT, Those DEAD and those ALIVE !!
    That means that ALL The "Tribulation MARTYRS" 'Must be INCLUDED' , as part of the "DEAD IN CHRIST that RISE FIRST" ( 1.Thess.4:16 ) in this "CHANGE", from MORTALITY To that of IMMORTALITY, which then Determines, an End of Tribulation Time-Line for All the "Martyrs" to be Included !!
    So SKIP HEITZIG, How come you Continue to preach this LIE, of a "Pre-Trib" RAPTURE ?? Or is your Brain just Not Functioning anymore ?? Please respond !!!

      @@lindasheldon6940 , The Reason for Jesus saying; ..."No one knows the Day or the Hour, But Only my Father , which is in Heaven". Is because, the Feast of TRUMPETS gets "Veryfied" by the Rabbi's over a TWO DAY PERIOD, which spans a Total 48 Hours !!
      Your Comment therefore only Emphasizes your "IGNORANCE" of the Scriptures !!!
      So Why Don't you get your "Hippie Pastor" SKIP HEITZIG, to respond to me, and Engage me in a Discussion on Eschatology ?? As it seems He is "Ignoring" my Request, and is AFRAID to do so !!

    WHEN IS THE RAPTURE / RESURRECTION?
    In Revelation 20:4-6 the last book of the Bible there are only 2 more FUTURE Resurrections (Raptures) spoken of: (after the 2 witnesses appear)
    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.
    5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the FIRST RESURRECTION. or rapture
    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.
    In the above scriptures, these are the Martyrs. John said "this is the first resurrection." John didn't say this is the "second phase of the first resurrection," as pre-tribbers claim.
    If this is the FIRST resurrection, can there be a resurrection before this one? Of course not, unless you want to ADD to the bible which is forbidden!
    The First Resurrection is of the dead in Christ and the Second is after 1000 years. Paul wrote that the Dead in Christ MUST rise FIRST, THEN we who are alive and remain will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
    1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
    16 ...and the dead in Christ shall RISE FIRST
    17 THEN we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them...
    In Rev. 20:4-5, John sees the souls of Saints who were BEHEADED for refusing the Mark of the Beast during the Great Tribulation. John writes that they will rise and reign with Christ for 1000 years and that this is the FIRST RESURRECTION!
    If according to John, the beheaded rise in the FIRST resurrection and Paul said those who are alive and remain are not caught up until AFTER the dead in Christ are resurrected, then this means the catching up or rapture takes place AFTER tribulation!
    Now compare the above with 1 CORINTHIANS 15:20-23:
    20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of those who slept.
    21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
    22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
    23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; AFTERWARDS THOSE WHO ARE CHRIST'S AT HIS COMING.
    Notice only one resurrection of the dead in Christ is mentioned here! Which, according to Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 must take place BEFORE we who are alive and remain are "caught up" with them!
    When did Jesus say the dead in Christ would be resurrected?
    John 6:39-40: Jesus said, "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up ON THE LAST DAY.
    John 6:44: Jesus said, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up ON THE LAST DAY."
    Is the LAST DAY the thousand year reign of Christ?
    I believe so....then it is eternity and time is counted no more
    So if Jesus himself said the dead in Christ will be raised on the LAST DAY, and Paul said we who are alive and remain will not be caught up (raptured) until AFTER the dead are raised, then where does secret pre-trib rapture fit in?
    Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:52 - In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMP last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
    We are changed at the LAST TRUMP and where is this found?
    In REVELATION, the LAST BOOK of the Bible there are 7 trumps and the 7th trump is the LAST ONE and is at the END end of the tribulation. there is not a 7th last trump prior to the tribulation.

    JESUS SAID: *I PRAY NOT* That You *TAKE THEM OUT OF THE WORLD* BUT That YOU *KEEP THEM FROM THE EVIL* (The Mark of The Beast). John 17:15 Your Fictitious Rapture (IS CONTRARY TO THE WORDS OF JESUS). *GOD, THE FATHER * (WILL HONOUR) JESUS' PRAYER. The Word *RAPTURE* IS NOT EVEN IN THE BIBLE. WOE Unto ALL Who (HAVE ADDED) The Word (RAPTURE) AND PREACH IT *AS* GOD'S TRUTH. Rev.22:15-20 AMEN.
