The Rapture
You have probably heard about the books and now the movie about those Left Behind. It is very popular, politically correct, and has made a lot of money. In their efforts to come up with an exiting and politically correct interpretation of Bible prophecy that will not offend anyone and most will agree on, has the Bible been added to or has there been any compromise of Bible truth? Has Satan succeeded in getting people to set aside their Bibles and go elsewhere for "truth"? Let's check to see if any truth has been left behind. To find out what we are really in store for in these last days, lets set aside the money making fiction and go to the infallible word of God (given to us free of charge) for the truth. Let's put down the fictional books, and look at a few verses from the Bible in order to see what the Bible plainly states about the return of Jesus, the beast, antichrist, and end time prophecy and see if we can find any contradictions. What is really in store for those left behind?.
John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Remember that God is always in control!!!
Will Jesus return before or after the tribulation?
Mark 13:24-26 "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
Will the return of Jesus be a secret?
Will anyone notice?
