“I keep seeing videos on YouTube about the rapture & people saying that Jesus is coming now. How true is this?”
One of the
problems with early Christianity was Gentiles wanted to create their own
religion, completely separate from Judaism. This has been called Replacement
Theology, where the Gentile Church replaced Israel.
Replacement
Theology reached it’s peak prior to 1948, when Israel was birthed in one day
(Isaiah 66:8). Then, those pesky Jews ruined the Gentile’s belief system and
their (no Jews allowed) Pre-Tribulation Rapture Party.
The
Pre-Tribulation Rapture Doctrine was created by a Pastor named John Nelson Darby
in 1830 after he fell off his horse and hurt his head. Also, Darby created
Dispensationalism, which is a lie from the pit of hell, describing fictitious
ages where God changes His mind and breaks old covenants and makes new ones
with only Gentiles. Jews and Israel are spiritualized because no one could
fathom a rebirthed Israel after Mark Twain cursed it as “…A desolate country...
a silent mournful expanse....” in 1867. Israel was that bad in 1867, but the
rains retuned as the Jews returned after (Herzl) November 10, 1895, after
666,000 days of no rain dating exactly from Av 9, 70 CE.
The
Pre-Tribulation Rapture was added to the CI Scofield Study Bible in 1909 by
Oxford University Press. Nearly every American Pastor from 1909 learned his
Bible commentaries from CI Scofield during seminary.
After
Revelation chapter 3, due to the lack of finding the Greek word ekklesia, which
means congregation (but King James in 1611 foisted the word “church” on us
forever), Darby and Scofield believed the Church was raptured out before God’s
wrath plagued the earth in the form of Seven Seals, Trumpets and Bowls. This is
preposterous.
Honest Bible
scholars agree, there are no verses that state an exact timing of the
resurrection and the coming of the Messiah. It is assumed that these events
will occur after the final seven years of tribulation because many verses state
a Post-Tribulation resurrection.
But, the
Pre-Tribulation Rapture sells books, movies and conferences because its
escapism and people love the concept of good Christians being raptured and the
bad Jews getting the hell kicked out of them by the Antichrist for rejecting
and killing Jesus. That sells!
The truth is
that Pre-Tribulation Rapture Christians are getting nervous because Trump is
their Messiah and he may leave the presidency soon. Covid-19 lock-downs have
them scared. And, the world is changing for the worse. Wars are expected. They
are publishing all kinds of silly prophesies that sell like hotcakes. They want
their Pre-Tribulation Rapture now! That’s not how it works.
There will
be a Melo haGoyim, Fullness of the Gentiles moment at the end of days, where
God returns his focus on Jerusalem and His people. We will all be tested.
It will
sound like this:
“When that
time comes, Mikha’el, the great prince who champions your people, will stand
up; and there will be a time of distress unparalleled between the time they
became a nation and that moment. At that time, your people [read: Jews] will be
delivered, everyone whose name is found written in the book. Many of those
sleeping in the dust of the earth will awaken, some to everlasting life and
some to everlasting shame and abhorrence. But those who can discern will shine
like the brightness of heaven’s dome, and those who turn many to righteousness
like the stars forever and ever. Daniel 12:1–3 (CJB)
Shalom!
