WHAT WILL SOON HAPPEN : THE RAPTURE

not take the risk to suffer foolishly, whereas nothing is preventing us from escaping today. To you, Born again Christians, we make a plea: Please put your life in order before God. Put aside worldly projects that move you away from God. Purify yourselves and sanctify yourselves, your deliverance is near. If you are in a dead church, come out of it and find a living Church. If you are in a church where people spend their time preaching prosperity and the power of the “holy spirit”, come out of it and find a Church where people preach sanctification and how to avoid worldly lusts and ungodliness. If your are in a church where they pray for people by pushing them down (on the floor), under the pretext of the action of the “holy spirit”, come out of it: The Spirit of God is not a spirit of epilepsy. If you remain there to hear things that please your ears, 2 Tim 4:3-4, you will be responsible before God. Do not forget that: Each one of us will give account of himself to God. Romans 14:12. To you, who are not yet Christians, and To you who profess Christianity because you received some drops of water on your head one day, we beg you, give your life to Jesus Christ without delay, and get baptized by immersion, that means in water. So long as you deny baptism by immersion, know that you are denying repentance itself. Matthew 3:11 says: “I baptize you with water for repentance”. If you continue to harden your heart, you will realize after the rapture, that you are not yet a Christian. Should you ask yourself how to give your life to Jesus Christ, then say the following prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, I accept you now as my Lord and my personal Saviour. I give you my life. Come

and live in me. Make me a child of God. Forgive all my sins. Deliver me from all bondage and curses. I want to live for you from now on. Prepare me to be ready for the rapture. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for your great Love to me. Amen! If you believe this prayer with your heart, you will be saved. Also, if you have said this prayer, please call us or write to us. We will show you a living Church near you where you can go and get baptized, and be prepared for this marvellous encounter, with the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Do not wait to call after the rapture, you will have no one to answer you. God bless you!

Conclusion We will not conclude this message without questioning ourselves: Why will many Christians miss the rapture? Fortunately the Bible gives us a clear answer; it’s just because they have not yet understood that no one can serve two gods. Matthew 6:24. How great is the number of Christians who no longer have time to meditate on the word of God these days! Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:2, because they work all the time; not to have something to eat, but to get rich. And many among them, even when they manage to come to Church, they spend their time sleeping, exhausted by work; again not because they lack something to eat, but because they want to get rich. 1 Timothy 6:6-10. Finally, even though no one dare say it openly, that the world has come to its end, the reality is that we are surely heading for the end of the world, that we find difficult to admit.

JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK NEWS OF THE END TIMES

WHAT WILL SOON HAPPEN :

THE RAPTURE Is the world coming to an end? Are we living in the last days on earth? or is humanity simply at the point of turning another page of its history? These questions and many others are worth asking, with regard to what is happening these days.

While on the one hand, politicians are talking of a world government that will bring “peace” and “the solution” to many problems, the Bible on the other hand, speaks of a world government that will stir up the wrath of God and bring on the inhabitants of the earth the worst catastrophe ever known. One may be tempted to ask, which is to be trusted, the Bible or the politicians. The answer is evident. While the politicians get together every day to alter the modalities of their proposed world government, God as we know, never changes. Since He spoke thousands of years ago, He has never called any meeting to discuss any change in His plans.

The Bible in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 tells us what the world is trying not to accept, the Rapture. However, any denial of the rapture will not prevent it from happening. We find it necessary to reconsider it, by

answering some of the most asked questions: Why, How, Who, When, And after that, What to do, etc...

WHY THE RAPTURE? The sin of this abominable generation is so grievous, and its destruction is inevitable. The Bible is a unique Scripture that tells us with precision, of the past, the present and the future. It teaches us that, every time the sin of mankind abounds, God who never mixes with sin, destroys. And God in His righteousness never destroys the righteous together with the wicked, (let’s recall that the wicked in the sight of God is not the one who does a lot of evil things, but the one who refuses to believe in Jesus Christ). Among the numerous examples given in the Bible, we will name the two most popular; the flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The flood intervened following the corruption of mankind, as we read in Genesis 6:5: “The Lord saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time”; and as a consequence, “God said to Noah, ... I am

surely going to destroy both them and the earth”. Genesis 6:13. The second example given to us is in Genesis 18 & 19, which explains what happened in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. “Then the Lord said: The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous”. Genesis 18:20 and for this reason “...We are going to destroy this place...” Genesis 19:13. God will spare the righteous before the coming destruction, by way of the rapture, as much as He spared the righteous in the days of Noah and in the days of Lot before the destruction.

HOW WILL THE RAPTURE HAPPEN? Many people surround the rapture with a myth. For some, it is just a “spiritual event” without material value. For others it is simply death, meaning that when someone dies, that’s their rapture. Still for others, the rapture has already taken place. Others think that the rapture is something unrealizable. There are even others who consider it stupid to believe that Jesus Christ will come again, and that Christians will leave this earth, without plane, to meet Him in the skies.

The rapture will simply happen, literally as described in the following verses: “According to the Lord’s own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have died. For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air”. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17.

PAGE 2

This passage means exactly what it says! The Lord Jesus Christ will come down from heaven very soon, and all those who have already died, but who, when they were still alive, gave their lives to Jesus Christ and lived for Jesus Christ, will rise again. Those of the living, who have given their live to Jesus Christ, and who are now living for Jesus Christ, will join them, and all together, without any plane, will go up to heaven to meet the Lord. All this will happen in the twinkling of an eye. What the inhabitants of the earth are about to experience will be spectacular. All those aware of this prophecy, will recognize the occurrence of the rapture. And the catastrophe that this marvellous event will create will be indescribable. Just to give you an idea of what will happen, accidents will be numerous, creating traffic chaos, as a result of cars abandoned by Christians who will be driving. A lot of fire out break, caused by cookers left on by those who will be cooking. Flooding, caused by taps which will not be turned off... In a nutshell, there will be a massive destruction. There will be no place in the world spared, for the simple reason that there are born again Christians everywhere in the world. For those who still do not believe, there is no argument about it. The day all this will take place, they will believe. Are the leaders of this world aware of it?We will surprise you by saying YES. They know it as well as we do, and they are preparing themselves accordingly. For instance, some airlines have a secret recruitment policy “Not to employ born again Christians”. They know that it will be risky to leave their planes piloted by people who may be caught up at anytime. They will never tell you so plainly, but they know it.

WHO WILL BE RAPTURED? The unique criteria or condition to fulfil to be caught up, is to be ready. And how do I get ready? You need to be born again, that

means to repent and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, and to be baptized by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ, and flee from sin and live a life of sanctification. Matthew 25:1-13 tells us of the parable of the preparedness of the virgins. 2 Corinthians 7:1 says: “Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from anything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God”. Is it too late to be among those who will be caught up? NO! It will only be late when the rapture has taken place. This means dear friend, that those who will be left on earth after the rapture would have chosen it. And if for any reason you miss the rapture, accept Jesus Christ, and be prepared to die, do not take any mark on you, and you will be saved. Rev. 20:4

such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, nor ever shall be. Matthew 24:21. Some days after the rapture, the leaders of this world will get together to discuss what they will do. They will ask the media not to talk anymore about Jesus Christ who came to take Christians, but instead to say that aliens have caused people to disappear from the earth. Therefore, do not be surprised by the massive propaganda in the media over aliens. The leaders of this world are simply preparing the lie they will tell people within the next few days. After that, the one the Bible calls the antichrist will take over, and force each inhabitant of the earth to take a mark either on their right hand or on their forehead, without which no one will be able to sell or to buy.Rev. 13:16-17.

All that you are reading will take place in the next few days. Why are we saying in the next few days? Because we know it. And how do we know it? Because God is still speaking and warning his children as he did in the past. The Bible tells us in Amos 3:7 “Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets”. Noah was warned before the flood, Gen. 7:4. Lot was warned before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Gen. 19:15, and God in his faithfulness is warning us today of what the Bible calls, the great tribulation. To you who spend your time parroting the cliché that no one knows the day or hour, you’d better remove your heart from what is binding you to this world. The citation of Matthew 24:36 does not deny the promise of Amos 3:7. May the Lord grant you the revelation to understand this Truth.

The Bible also gives us the content of the mark: It is 666. We talk here of the content of the mark because many people, knowing all these things, will be so stupid that they will be waiting to see the figure 666 written on their forehead or their hand. And as soon as they are presented with something different from figures, they will say that it is not 666. All those who will refuse the mark will be killed, Rev. 13:15. And those who will take the mark will be selling their soul to satan, and will go to hell forever. Rev. 14:9-11. And before going to hell, they will suffer all the calamities which will be poured upon the earth, Revelation 6 to 18. Let’s recall that hell is a reality, and it is for eternity. To those who believe that hell does not exist, we make a plea: Please, open your eyes before it is too late! Hell is as real as your existence on this earth. And if in spite of everything you still don’t believe, do not worry, you will believe when you get there.

AND AFTER THAT?

WHAT TO DO?

After the rapture, there will be a total disaster. The book of Revelation, which by merely reading, frightens you, will be materialized. Jesus Christ talked of a great tribulation,

With regard to the reality presented in the text above, we beseech you dear friend, to take the relevant decision, since what you have just read will surely happen. Let us
