Mathematical Proof of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

 

My  END  TIMES Chart  (Simplified)

When I was a teenager somebody gave me a jigsaw puzzle but they had lost the box and the pieces were just in a bag. I  did the 500 piece Puzzle anyway, but there were about 30 pieces I couldn't figure out. The lady found the box and once I saw the picture I was able to fit in the remaining pieces.

When I became a Born-Again Christian I was told that knowing Jesus personally would give me a life filled with kittens and rainbows. I had only lived twelve years but I knew Life didn't work that way. (I was right.) So when I was told Jesus would scoop up the Christians to go to Heaven before any of the seven year Tribulation happened, I didn't believe it. I spent thirty years believing the Rapture would happen at the Second Coming of Jesus to the Earth. However, there were several pieces of the Puzzle of Bible Prophecy that wouldn't fit into place. I suspected it was because I was somehow missing the big picture.

I had heard many Believers say why they believed in a Pre-Trib Rapture.

The Church is not present in Revelation after the fourth chapter,

THEREFORE we have been Raptured.

 “For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.” ( 2 Thessalonians 2:7)

The HE refers to the Holy Spirit being taken away and He wouldn't leave without us. THEREFORE we have been Raptured.

And on and on the “evidence” goes but all of it involves an ASSUMPTION. A VERY dangerous thing when interpreting the Bible. I needed hardcore proof! So I did what I should have done DECADES sooner. 

I asked Jesus for proof positive one way or the other.

His first response was to tell me to “Not be afraid”. The Holy Spirit revealed to me that I was afraid that the Pre-Tribulation Christians got it wrong, we would find ourselves living through the entire Tribulation and feared an “Oops. Sorry. I guess we got it wrong.”  would leave me  unprepared during the hardest days in human history. So I've spent the majority of my life preparing for some VERY harsh times.

But Jesus wanted me to put my Fears aside and dive into Bible Prophecy without my fears or belief biases. It didn’t take long. He led me directly to the book of Daniel and Revelation where there is a Timeline given of the Tribulation, by the Jewish, Lunar Calendar of 360 days a year.

3 ½ years until the “Abomination that causes Desolation” (the Anti-Christ enters the Jewish Temple and declares himself God) 

then another 3 ½ years til Jesus's Second Coming to the Earth to set up HIS Millennial Kingdom. An accurate Timeline to the day.

BUT  if we know the DAY Jesus will return then why does He say, “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. “ (Matthew 24:36)

AND

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.” (Matthew 24:42)

Because … we are dealing with TWO SEPARATE EVENTS. 

This was my hardcore evidence. My bigger picture, just like on the Puzzle box. From that point on all the Prophecy puzzle pieces fit into place. (And Bible Prophecy is almost ⅓ of the Bible and found throughout the Old and New Testaments.)

Since then I have spent the past 17 years reading Bible Prophecy and being able to determine whether to fit it into the Rapture  or the Second Coming. 

But I wasn't completely off track when believing the End Times was going to be much, MUCH harder than had been spoken of, which we are ALL aware of now! So while people are freaking out and wondering why Jesus doesn't come for us, I am much more prepared because I've been expecting the worst. 

Keeping that in mind, I might be able to be both Spiritual and Practical help to you. At least, I hope so.

Thank you for reading all of this and we will continue on this topic more in the future. For now, I will leave you to your own Bible Study and time talking to Jesus.

Destruction of DAMASCUS: Isaiah 17 (Simplified)

 

Okay. Let's cut through the Theological and Eschatological Mumbo-jumbo and get to the chase.

In Bible Prophecy, written THOUSANDS of years ago, it says in these End Times the city of Damascus (the oldest continually inhabited city) is going to be destroyed and become uninhabitable.

Before you read what the prophet Isaiah directly has to say  look at my map of 

🔴 Damascus

🔴 Aram (which is modern Syria)

🔴 Ephraim (area God gave to that tribe)

🔴 Aroer (in Jordan)

With those keys you can unlock and read (for YOURSELF) what the Bible says.

"A prophecy against Damascus.

'See, Damascus will no longer be a city
    but will become a heap of ruins.
2 The cities of Aroer will be deserted
    and left to flocks, which will lie down,
    with no one to make them afraid.
3 The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
    and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
    like the glory of the Israelites,'
declares the Lord Almighty."

(Isaiah 17:1-3)

It's worth you reading all of Isaiah, chapter 17 so you can get the full picture.

As I have often said before, "All eyes on Israel in the End Times".

This is where all the World action will center again.

End Times Hide-and-Seek

 

These events occurred during the summer of 1971, when I was 5 years old. (Oops. 🙊 I accidentally outed my age on the internet again.)

“Let's play Hide-and-Seek. 

Laura-Lee, you're “It”.

Count to 20 slowly with your eyes shut and we'll go hide.”

‘I know how to play this game. I'm not stupid, ya’ know.”

“And don't peek!”

“And I don't cheat either!”

(I close and cover my eyes and start counting loudly)

‘1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12. uh, uh, 13.

 Um. Um. 14. Um”

(He calls out from behind a bush)

“Wait a minute! Wait a minute! 

Laura-Lee, after 14 comes 15. Then keep going from there.”

I hear him say, (under his breath) “What a dummy.”

“Right. 14 - 15. Um. Um. 16. Um.” (long pause)

(He yells from behind the Bush) “17 - 18!”

“Right. 17 - 18 - 19 - 20.”

I yell, “Ready or not, here I come!”

(Then I point right at him and say)

“I see you behind the bush. And because you're the first one I found that makes you “It” next.”

‘Hey, wait a minute! That's not fair! I was helping you.”

“I didn't ask for your help, did I?”

"But I thought you couldn't count to 20.”

“It's not my fault what you think. Now you're “It”.  Who's the dummy now?”

Esther was created for her time and I am created for mine.

"And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”

(Esther 4:14)

If we want to survive the Lawlessness, evil deeds by evil people, demon activity and the spirit of antichrist everywhere, then we need to seriously up our game.

Welcome to the End Times, Everybody.

Remember, Simplistic and Innocent are not the same as Stupid and Naive.

Maybe Only Those ... 🤔

 

🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿

Maybe ONLY those who will hear Jesus call with a "loud command" are those listening for His voice.

Maybe ONLY those who will be "caught up" are those ready to leave everything behind. 

"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 

After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever."

(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿

Maybe ONLY those who will see Jesus's "Glorious appearing" are those who have longed for it.

"Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."

(2 Timothy 4:8)

🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿

Maybe ONLY those who will be clothed with "immortality" and "swallowed up in victory" are those who hate corruption.

Maybe ONLY those who will "inherit the Kingdom of God ... in the twinkling of an eye" are those who live their lives desiring to be changed into something better.

'I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.  

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 

 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 

 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: 

“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

(1 Corinthians 15:50-54)

"Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 

They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? 

(2 Peter 3:3-4)

Maybe ALL who scoff at Jesus's Second "Coming" and doubt his Promise are those He Leaves Behind.❗️
