I have been watching First Fruits as a possible time for the dead in Christ to rise, but I cannot overlook this IMPORTANT WATCH FOR 2008 for Rosh Hashanah ! I fits the time frame for seven year Tribulation form 2008-2015 to the T ! Most I know won't even talk about the return of the Lord for any reason....they don't want to read about it....they don't want to acknowledge it....They give you the HEAD LIGHTS IN THE DEAR EYES LOOK IF YOU TRY TO BRING IT UP ! Maybe, just maybe the only thing that would ever wake THEM UP at any future time would be THE RAPTURE ACTUALLY HAPPENING !!! SO WHY NOT NOW ? IT IS A TIME THEY ................... THINK NOT ! They don't even want to talk about it. COULD IT BE TIME TO DECIDE IF WE LOVE GOD OR THIS WORLD MORE ? ! PRAY AND WATCH ! THESE ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS TIMES EVER FOR US AND THE WORLD ! Come SAVE us Lord Jesus !
Demolishing Arguments
Now, let's look at the triple barrelled nuclear charge that Luke 21:36 is to the arguments of the mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib crowd.
Luke 21:36 watch ye, then, in every season, praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.'
1st demolition charge: watch ye, then........watch ye? yea, okay, but when should we be watching? IN EVERY SEASON, boom bOOM, BOOM, can you hear the explosions? are the mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib crowd watching for jesus IN EVERY SEASON? No, they're not, why would they? Their entire argument to you is that we must go through half or more of the tribulation before we ever see Jesus. That in itself blows their arguments out of the water, but thats only fact 1 of 3.
2nd demolition charge: Luke 21:36 tells us to pray for something, what are we told to pray for? THAT WE MAY BE COUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
ESCAPE ALL, do you know what ALL means? I do, it means ALL. Would a mid-trib rapture count as ESCAPING ALL? NO Would a pre-wrath rapture count toward ESCAPING ALL? NO Would a post-trib rapture count toward ESCAPING ALL? NO BOOOOOOOOOM, can you hear the explosions? That's the mid, pre-wrath, post trib argument sinking under the waves.....
3rd demolition charge: closely associated to the 2nd, this one is the direct disobedience necessary of the mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib crowd, to PURPOSEFULLY DISOBEY the command to PRAY to be counted worthy of ESCAPING ALL. How do I know that they do not obey this command? Their entire argument revolves around NOT ESCAPING ALL, case closed. BOOM, another torpedo shot to the waterline of their arguments.
that's 3 nuclear demolition charges sitting on the head of every person who attempts to STEAL your hope. Why is this a big deal? You can steal many things from a man, and they can press on. The moment you attack, and steal their HOPE though, you've taken everything. Pre-trib proof goes far beyond Luke 21:36, the story of Noah and Lot, the Jewish Wedding tradition, the promise in Rev 3:10, the list is long and distinguished, all proof that Jesus will be back ANY MINUTE NOW, which is why we must BE WATCHING IN EVERY SEASON.
Satan HATES the idea of a pre-trib rapture. He HATES the fact that any soul will escape his 7 year farewell party for the world. His servants hate the pre-trib rapture as well. The pre-trib rapture that most of the apostate church longs for will be their undoing when they find out that YES the rapture came, it WAS pre-trib, but THEY WERE NOT COUNTED WORTHY OF IT. Go re-read Luke 21:36.
Another interesting thing about watching in every season is: if the rapture was going to occur on Rosh Hashanah 2008, it would not be necessary to watch in every season, just watch in ONE season which in itself leans against a Rosh Hashanah rapture, HOWEVER, we know that the rapture will occur during "a" season, so why not step up our watchfulness during Rosh Hashanah? The thing about Rosh Hashanah is all the rapture words and symbols within the feast. We are to be WATCHING always. I believe that Rosh Hashanah is a great time to be WATCHING more than usual. We want to be found watching and ready when Jesus shows up. Jesus COULD show up during Rosh Hashanah, we don't know, we don't need to know, we just need to be watching and ready, that's it. I think he'll be here soon. grace and peace
