Some Simple Thoughts on The Rapture
By amiann | Published: May 31, 2012

I was asked to write a bit on the Rapture. The Bible tells it’s believers that we should be ready to answer any questions and that we should be willing. In the End Times prophecy, there are two separate events which people mix up. When people mix separate events, nothing about Bible prophecy makes sense. That is one of the main reasons that Bible prophecy makes little sense, to the casual reader.

The next event in history, according to the Bible, will be the Rapture. After the Rapture is the Tribulation. Most prophetic events do not have an exact time tables such as exact dates. Some do have exact dates down to the day and year. However, all prophetic events have with them, the SIGNS of the times. The Bible tells its readers to look at the signs of the times to see when the Rapture is imminent. The true believers in Jesus will not see the Tribulation. The Bible makes that clear, on several occasions. God will not pour out His wrath on His believers. The Tribulation is the time of His wrath. The first three and a half years will be a peace unlike the world has known. For the first time in Israel’s history, she will be at peace with the Arabs. She will not have to have defenses. As you know, this has not happened since her birth, when she was attacked immediately afterwards. So, the Rapture will precede the Tribulation. We don’t know how much time will elapse between the Rapture and the Tribulation, just that they are separate events with totally separate agendas.

The Rapture is a term which refers to the “being caught up” discussed in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, when the “dead in Christ” and “we who are alive and remain” will be “caught up in the clouds” to meet “the Lord“. This verse talks about the Rapture, per se. However, Noah’s Arc is a picture of the Rapture. The Bible foreshadows the New Testament from the Old. The New Testament completes what the OT foreshadows. I refer you to Les Feldick for a detailed study on Noah’s Arc as a picture of the Rapture. It is very, very specific. I am sure you will be fascinated, whether you are a believer in the Bible, or not.

I will discuss some signs of the times for both the Rapture and the Tribulation, as they are on the same time table going forward. The Rapture just comes first. I am not going to research specific Scriptures.Anyone can Google End Time prophecy and find the Scriptures. I will paraphrase some signs of the times, though. Then, you can find the specific Scriptures in a Google Search. I am doing this because if I set the standard so high for myself as to have to research the whole subject and write about it, I will never do it.

Some signs of the End times

1. Strange weather which increases in severity as time goes on. This is likened to a woman’s labor pains increasing as the birth approaches

2. Love of family for each other will grow cold. This can be seen in children murdering parents and vice -versa. This can be seen in abortion, although I know that is a hot topic.

3. Technology will explode. I just heard a radio ad talking about a product that allowed you to see who was at your front door, from anywhere in the world, from your cell phone.

4. The entire world will be able to watch the events of the End Times. TV etc must be needed for this.

5. Israel shows God’s time table.Not ONE generation will pass from Israels birth in 1948 to the Tribulation. The exact time of a generation is not known. People believe it to believe it to be anywhere from 40 years to 70 years. I may be a bit off, here. The exact details can be found in your own research.

6. The temple will be re built in Israel before the Tribulation. The Rapture is not included in this time table. This just refers to the Tribulation.

7. The Rapture will occur before the Anti-Christ signs the peace treaty which will usher in three and a half years of peace for Israel and her neighbors.

8. The people who leave in the Rapture will not see the Anti Christ sign the peace treaty as the signing of the peace treaty HERALDS in the Tribulation.

9. Noah’s Arc is like the Rapture in that people laughed at it and very few people got into the Arc. Most thought it was foolishness. Most people see the Rapture, in the same way.

10. Homosexuality was very,very dominant at the time of Noah’s Arc, as it is today.

I know many people believe the Bible's point of view on homosexuality, abortion etc is antiquated. I don't care to argue about things like that, as there is no point in it.

I will help to elucidate the Bible( to the best of my ability) for those people who are genuine seekers of Biblical answers.

I am sorry I did not do this more thoroughly. I have several things going on, such that doing more specific research is not something I can do, right now. I hope I have put enough here, for anyone to do his own research.

from The Emerald Tablets..
Tablet I ...

Over the world then broke the great waters,
drowning and sinking,
changing Earth's balance
until only the Temple of Light was left
standing on the great mountain on UNDAL
still rising out of the water;
some there were who were living,
saved from the rush of the fountains.


Called to me then the Master, saying:
Gather ye together my people.
Take them by the arts ye have learned of far across the waters,
until ye reach the land of the hairy barbarians,
dwelling in caves of the desert.
Follow there the plan that ye know of.


Gathered I then my people and
entered the great ship of the Master.
Upward we rose into the morning.
Dark beneath us lay the Temple.
Suddenly over it rose the waters.
Vanished from Earth,
until the time appointed,
was the great Temple.


Fast we fled toward the sun of the morning,
until beneath us lay the land of the children of KHEM.
Raging, they came with cudgels and spears,
lifted in anger seeking to slay and utterly destroy the Sons of Atlantis.

sounds kinda the same,
doesn't it?
