Rapture

Mat. 24v. 40 says that one shall be taken and one shall be left. This shall happen suddenly, in a twinkling of an eye. This cannot refer to anything else except rapture. Mat. 25 speaks of the same event. It refers to ten virgins, which represent two types of Christians. Some of the Christians will be taken, but others will left. The five foolish virgins are the saints who are so foolish that they have refused to accept the baptism of the Holy Ghost. They are preaching against the infilling of the Holy Ghost, even calling those who speak in tongues agents of Satan. The infilling of the Holy Ghost is real and is available to all who believe. All who believe speak in other tongues as in Mark 16v. 17. However, the unbelieving Christians do not accept the infilling and so do not have the gift of speaking in other tongues. Infilling of the Holy Ghost is like magnetism. Only magnetic materials are caught up by magnets. That is exactly what the Holy Ghost will do at the second coming of Jesus. He will catch up the Spirit filled saints only. So, persecuting the Spirit filled and teaching against the baptism of the Holy Ghost will not change the fact that God is filling those who believe in it.

I have personally been persecuted because of this, even to the extend of losing my job as the Principal, Kivaa Secondary School, could not accept my teachings to the Christian Union in the School. I was even called a devil worshiper by some of his cohorts in that School. They beat me twice, once in the staffroom, and once at the market, outside Kenlon house, where I was living. They swore that they would kill me someday. The Principal brought officers from the PDEs office who warned me not mention the name of God in that School. I was warned that if I did not obey, I would be dismissed. I disobeyed and preached more. Baptism of the Holy Ghost is evidenced by the sign of speaking in other tongues. Based on Mat. 24v. 40, the five wise virgins, which represent Spirit filled saints, will be taken, and the foolish ones will be left to get into the great tribulation period where they will be persecuted by the lawless one.

The beginning of rapture will be accompanied by sudden destruction on earth based on 1 Thess. 5v. 3. This means that rapture comes at the start of the great tribulation period. Always, when God begins to deliver his loved ones, he punishes their oppressors. That is why a sudden destruction targeting the wicked ones will come at the day of rapture. Immediately the antichrist is revealed, rapture will take place. And he shall be revealed through his wickedness, starting with pretending to be a peace maker that he can rule the world, and his murderous activities against humanity. 2 Thess. 2vv. 1-12 confirms that rapture will not take place until the lawless one is revealed. The man of lawlessness will not be revealed until the one holding him back is taken out of the way. Before rapture, many will fall away from their faith in Christ also. The one holding back is the Holy Ghost and the Church of Christ. Once the Holy Ghost and his saints are taken from the earth, the antichrist will take full control for seven good years.

The antichrist will be accompanied by great counterfeit miracles, signs, and wonders to deceive the perishing ones. Any person who is not filled with Holy Ghost, whether a saint or not, is going to be deceived by the beast, and will suffer greatly. The Satanic miracles have already began to manifest. False prophets and false Christs are already deceiving the perishing ones, but they are not the predicted beast. They are operating because their operation will cause the great falling away which comes just before rapture. There are those who claim that rapture will take place after the tribulation period, but this does not have any sound biblical support. After the tribulation period, the Son of man will appear in the heavens with his elect who will be gathered from the heavens by his angels where they will have been for the seven years. They cannot be gathered to come to the earth only to be raptured again! They will be coming to the earth to establish the 1000 year rule of Christ, after which there will another instance of Jesus's second coming when Jesus destroys those who will fighting against his people at the end of the thousand years at Israel.

Just as Noah and his family were saved from the judgment by floods, so shall all Spirit filled saints be at the beginning of the tribulation period. The only way for you to escape is to be born again and get Spirit filled, that when rapture comes, you will be taken away. There shall be Christians on earth during the tribulation period, Christians who will be found with lamps but without extra oil (five foolish virgins), which is the baptism of the Holy Ghost. These Christians on earth during the tribulation period will be purified through suffering because of their unbelief. Many of them will be deceived and will follow the beast and accept his sign. You must desire to escape this temptation by being filled with the Holy Ghost now after you get born again. Pray that you may escape as Jesus advised his disciples, and this is by asking Jesus to save you from your sins and fill you with his Holy Ghost. Repent, and turn from sin, and Jesus will accept you as you are.
