The Rapture Will Be Canceled
Well not really canceled, perhaps we’ll just have to postpone it a couple of times before it's called off altogether!
The starting point for our little examination will be a present day building of a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount, and unless you’ve been hiding under a rock you know that millions of dollars' worth of preparation have already been made toward this end.
When it begins, you may want to lay down all of your presupposition, because I’m sure of one thing, that there will be plenty of surprises for all concerned.
However, this starting point will need something bigger than money, it will need a treaty of some sort, because Jerusalem with the Old City has been declared an “International City” and that means it belongs to the Nations.
Jesus said:
“And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations:
and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Luke 21:24
And that word ‘Gentiles’ is the same word that may be translated ‘Nations’ from the original Greek, so he could have said,
“until the times of the Nations be fulfilled”
because in context it actually means
“nations other than Israel”
I believe this is a reference to the same event described at the end of Daniel Chapter Two where the Mystery Babylon Image is obliterated at Messiah's Appearing.
The rebuilding of the Jewish Temple and re-institution of the Priest Temple Sacrifice System have been foretold numerous times through the Old Testament.
But every instance of this prophecy has been followed by its fulfillment with the Rebuilt Temple after the Babylonian Captivity and the seventy years Desolation even though it was not built completely to the specifications of the book of Ezekiel, (I believe it will never be built to those specifications until after Jesus returns).
Does this mean there will not be another attempt to build the Jewish Temple and restore the Priest Temple Sacrifice System before the Messiah returns?
It is very likely that there will be an attempt to build a Third Jewish Temple, but it may or may not be completed, because the Bible does not have one prophecy of the rebuilding of this Temple that was given after the actual Second Temple was completed as chronicled at Ezra chapter six, (which was later refurbished and expanded by Herod).
The omission of such prophecy and specific language detailing a Third Temple may lead us to safely conclude that such prophecies have been completely fulfilled and any attempt to build another Temple in this era may or may not reach fruition.
When an agreement or treaty does arise which includes the building of a New Temple, for many in the Christian and Evangelical World this will be the starting shot for what they believe to be a Seven Year Tribulation Period which is based upon a non-literal interpretation of the Daniel Seventy Weeks prophecy.
The Daniel text simply does not support this supposition because it is based solely upon conjecture.
Taken literally the events of Daniel’s Seventy Weeks were allotted a four hundred and ninety year time period within which to be fulfilled and history shows that it has been completely fulfilled.
More about this later.
Nevertheless, it is more than likely that a Third Temple will commence to be built to the end of restoring the Priest Temple Sacrifice System.
And when this happens all of the Rapture enthusiasts will become very excited.
But their enthusiasm will be shortly tempered when they do not begin to fly away.
All of the Pre-Tribulation Rapturists will suddenly join the Mid Tribulation Rapture camp and hunker down for another three and a half years.
The Politician who is assigned to bring this Treaty or Agreement will be identified by the adherents of the Left Behind/Seven Year Tribulation scheme of Eschatology as the Anti-Christ character commensurate with those fictional books.
They will not be disappointed in the fact that any treaty will be broken, and it is unlikely that the Temple Sacrifice System will even be instituted.
Whether the Sacrifice actually begins or not, just the end of the agreement will be enough to qualify as:
“putting an end to the sacrifice”
as required by the script.
The script calls for this to happen in the middle of the Pseudo Seventieth Week and will be followed as close as possible so that when the first three and a half years pass the Rapture adherents will once again be ready to be raptured into the air to meet Jesus and the dead in Christ!
But they will be disappointed once again requiring a last grasp to the Post Tribulation Rapture position.
Of course, this last three and a half years will pass in desperate anticipation by those who have now been disappointed twice.
Surely this final wait will be absolutely secure in its expectation because in the minds of those indoctrinated in the Left Behind-Seven Year Tribulation Deception there is no other position to move to.
By the end of this Counterfeit Seventieth Week enough of the attributes of the Fictional Series will be accomplished to satisfy its true believers.
The Puppet False Anti-Christ who makes and or breaks the treaty will be deposed or worse.
This will also be the final blow to the Rapture and for its adherents, the death of hope for a resurrection event that precedes the grave.
The New World Social-Economic Order with its main features:
- Social Justice
- Charity in Truth
- Financial and Religious Equality (Social Commu-Facism)
will be introduced to a world that has been thoroughly conditioned for the event by a team of New World Leaders.
These leaders, with the True Anti-Christ who will assuage their disappointment by proclaiming:
“I Am the Vicar of Christ, the true fulfillment of the prophecy and now begins a Millennial Reign, an Evolution to a New World Social-Economic Order of Peace.”
A Jubilee will be proclaimed; National Debts will be forgiven to kick off the New Fair and Equal Monetary System.
The Three Great Mono-Theistic Religions will be united in peace.
It will be like heaven on earth!
The requirement of forced peace, like Pax Romana will tell the tale, as the Messiah warned,
“the violent take it by force.”
No one will ever be forced into the true Kingdom of God, this would violate the very principle of the Gospel of the Kingdom which requires voluntary repentance.
This is why Social-Commu-Facism is an abomination to God.
All of the Ecumenical Evangelical Religious leaders will affirm to their congregations,
“that there has always been a debate about the Rapture... Pre – Mid – Post – Tribulation, so that we should not be disappointed because what is sure is the gospel that we have learned for the last hundred years.
Don’t you know, we get to go to heaven when we die?”
And all the people will exclaim,
“Oh Yea!
We get to go to heaven when we die!”
However, this too is a subtle deception because Jesus never said,
“Repent for you get to go to heaven when you die.”
Rather He did warn of bad preachers who would:
“shut up the kingdom of heaven against men:
for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.” Mat 23:13
Jesus' Gospel was different, He said, …Repent:
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent:
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mat 4:17
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Mat 4:17) and the Bible clearly teaches that we go to the resurrection when we die only if we are already in His Kingdom for He also proclaimed , …he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (Mat 24:13)
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mat 24:13
Nowhere does the Bible teach that the Resurrection is preceded by a seven-year tribulation period.
Neither does it teach that the resurrection follows Daniels seventieth week.
When you see the Temple begin to be rebuilt it may actually initiate a seven-year countdown to the overt reign of the True Anti-Christ and the beginning of the New World Social-Economic Order with its companion Mark of the Beast Monetary System.
Please do not be so quick to dismiss the almost unbelievable, but very carefully crafted great delusion exposed here.
How are we respond to these things?
We should continue to walk in the Spirit and be led by the Spirit, our Creator calls His Elect to obey to His commandments, allow His Holy Spirit to bring forth the fruit of repentance in your life,
“the good works which God has before ordained that we might walk in them.”

If you cannot obey Him now, how do you think He will lead you when the time is critical?
Learn to trust and obey Him now and you will be able to hear and obey Him through this Global Great Depression, coming world conflicts and Mark of the Beast Inquisition.
Cross the Border into His Kingdom, obey the King and live forever, nothing is more important!
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men:
for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. Mat 23:13
Rapture Origins
I never could understand the Secret Rapture Doctrine, how does that work?
Millions of people disappear from the earth, and nobody notices?
What is that, a Doctor Who episode?
Unfortunately, we are not talking about a Doctor Who episode.
The reason it is a secret is because God did not put it in His Word!
This fact alone I find very troubling.
But God first revealed it to a Church of Scotland minister, named Edward Irving, who was the first to preach the “rapture gospel” about 1830.
Edward Irving (4 August 1792 – 7 December 1834) was a Scottish clergyman, generally regarded as the main figure behind the foundation of the Catholic Apostolic Church.
One of his church members, Margaret MacDonald consequently had a vision from which the pre-tribulation rapture sprang.
Margaret MacDonald was born in 1815 in Port Glasgow, Scotland and died around 1840. She lived with her two older brothers, James and George, both of whom ran a shipping business. Beginning in 1826 and through 1829, a few preachers in Scotland emphasized that the world's problems could only be addressed through an outbreak of supernatural gifts from the Holy Spirit.
This “secret rapture” was promoted by Irving claiming he, too, had heard a “voice” from heaven commanding him to teach it.
Some modern researchers submit that Irving’s speculations of the
“...rapture was influenced by the Spanish Jesuit Priest Lacunza, whose book Irving had translated in 1827 under the title, The coming of the Messiah in Glory and Majesty.”
Manuel de Lacunza y Díaz, S.J. (July 19, 1731 – c. June 18, 1801) was a Jesuit priest who used the pseudonym Juan Josafat Ben-Ezra in his main work on the interpretation of the prophecies of the Bible, which was entitled The Coming of the Messiah in Majesty and Glory.

Today Rapture Eschatology is a purely Protestant and Evangelical held doctrine.
BOOK: EXCERPT: Tartarian Rule? Or Millennial Kingdom? – Eschatology – Library of Rickandria
Official Catholic doctrine holds anyone who believes in a literal-physical return of Christ and a thousand-year reign to be heretics according to Mark Mallett the Modern Catholic Evangelist and Prophet.

So, the question arises; Why are Protestants using a Latin word like rapture instead of English or at least the Greek from which our Protestant Bibles are translated?
Perhaps the speculation which has scrutinized Irving’s work as springing from the influence of the Jesuit Priest Lacunza should be seriously considered.
RELIGION: VATICAN: JESUITS – Library of Rickandria
Especially in light of the fact that the highly debated three raptures are anchored upon a false interpretation of Daniels 70th week and the counter-reformation end-time Anti-Christ eschatology of another Jesuit Priest, 16th century Francisco Ribera.
Francisco Ribera (1537–1591) was a Spanish Jesuit theologian, identified with the Futurist Christian eschatological view.
My conclusion?
Rapture is a Latin cult word.
I believe in the Resurrection.
That God did not put the rapture in His Word can only be explained by the fact that He allegedly kept it a secret until He revealed it to Mr. Irving about 1830.
What this means is that God gave him a private interpretation!
I think the bible adequately addresses the subject of private interpretation:
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:
but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1:19-21
BIBLE VERSE: KJV: 2Pe 1:20 – Library of Rickandria
There are very few verses that directly address the Resurrection in detail.
You will notice that none of them incorporate time lapsed phases into the event, nor is it anywhere said to precede, divide or follow a seven-year tribulation period.
Neither is it ever related to Daniel’s seventieth week.
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.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
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.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 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. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
The challenge is to find:
- Any verse that explicitly divides the resurrection into several events.
- Any verse that explicitly states that the resurrection is tied to a seven year tribulation period.
- Any verse that explicitly places the resurrection in, around, or at the end of the seventieth week of Daniel.
- Any verse that places the resurrection anywhere other than at the last trump preceding the return of Christ.
None of those hypotheses are possible without the construction of conjecture, by conjecture any proposition may be constructed.
Pure conjecture is not the proper way to interpret Bible prophecy.
