It’s Time To Sound The Alarm: Prophecy Is Coming To Life Before Our Eyes

[1LoverofGod]

Excerpts from article

...many who don’t believe in the Bible will tell you the world will one day end and that we are getting closer to that time. We don’t know when the time will come, but the Rapture will be the triggering event.

I believe the Church, those who have placed their faith in Jesus as Savior, will be taken to heaven in the Rapture before the world is thrown into the thick of God’s judgment, known as the Apocalypse. And it’s not until seven years after the Rapture that the Bible describes the return of Jesus and an end to the world as we know it.

1. The Sign of Deception
Many people will claim to be the Savior and to have the answers for a troubled world. People will search desperately for leaders to deliver them and seek mystics and religious leaders who claim to have hidden knowledge. Jesus tells us He is the only salvation for this world and to watch out for counterfeits.

2. The Sign of Disputes Among Nations
Wars and tension among people groups will rise. There will be the constant talk of conflicts, border skirmishes, race wars, and national battles.

3. The Sign of Devastation
There will be more and more famine, “earthquakes in various places,” and pestilence, the rise of disease (Matthew 24:7).

4. The Sign of Deliverance Into Tribulation
Just before Jesus returns at the Second Coming, there will be an explosion of antagonism toward God’s people. Christians will experience betrayal and persecution at unprecedented levels. Although God’s people will avoid the seven-year Tribulation, many will pay a high price for proclaiming the name of Jesus in the End Times.

Recognizing the Signs of the Apocalypse
The underpinnings of our culture are weakening. We need only watch the news to see signs of the Apocalypse looming. The Bible says we can’t know the date or time of the Rapture that will trigger the End Times, but we know these issues will grow exponentially in the End Times.

Jesus has called us to interpret the signs of the times and anticipate His return......

It’s Time To Sound The Alarm: Prophecy Is Coming To Life Before Our Eyes

Jesus has called us to interpret the signs of the times and anticipate His return. We cannot live by lies, or fear, or hatred. But we can no longer ignore the warnings or sleep in beds of ignorance. We must live by our biblical convictions.

The Bible says we can’t know the date or time of the Rapture that will trigger the End Times

I'm not sure that the Rapture can be used as a "trigger" for anything beyond itself, except to say that we're in the End Times, which most of us believe we already are. I at least can't think of anything on earth that the Rapture triggers by virtue of it occurring. What am I forgetting?

I think some believe that the Rapture will be what starts the Tribulation, but I don't think that's the case. If the "gap theory" is accurate, then it's the confirming of the covenant that fullfills the breaking of the first seal, and That begins the Tribulation.

I don't think the confirming of the covenant necessarily fulfills the first seal, which will be broken in heaven, but may be the leading edge of whatever the first seal encompasses.

I dont believe there is a gap “theory”. The bible clearly states the tribulation wont began until the AC affirms the 7 year treaty. The bible also tells us we will be raptured first. Both the start of the tribulation, and the rapture are completely separate events, and the bible does not state the trib starts right after the rapture. Therefore, IMO, the only “theory” is the trib starts immediately after the rapture. There is no way for us to know how long of a period of time is between these two separate events.

Many in the prophecy circles believe that its the confirming of the covenant that begins the tribulation, and the rider of the white horse comes with diplomacy and not militarily because of the bow with no arrows. The white horseman is the first seal.

We know by Revelation chapter 5 , that the church is already in Heaven when Jesus begins to break the seals because he's the only one who is worthy.

I agree with that.

I don't know that the first seal judgment is completed by the affirming of the covenant. That might be an assumption without a basis.

I don't know how these eschatologists have come to that theory that there's an unknown amount of time between the Rapture and the confirming of the covenant.
But I don't believe that it's the Rapture that triggers the Tribulation.
Certainly though, the Rapture Will trigger a major chaos like never in history with the sudden disappearing of multitudes including children.
I think that Satan knows his time is short and because we're so close to the Tribulation, he's been behind all of the "UFO" sightings and the focus on them because it will be the perfect excuse for the disappearing of the church.

 

[1LoverofGod]

I agree with that.

I'm sure there's much more to the first seal than just the confirming of the covenant.

 

[Tall Timbers]

I don't know how these eschatologists have come to that theory that there's an unknown amount of time between the Rapture and the confirming of the covenant.

There's no Scripture that connects the two that I can think of, unless I'm forgetting something which is always possible. We do know that the Tribulation begins with the affirming of a 7 year covenant/treaty between Israel and the person who is the antichrist. Since the Rapture doesn't kick off Tribulation there is almost necessarily time between the two, be it a very short amount of time or possibly years.

Yes! IMO, the worldwide chaos will be just what the globalists needs to finally have a need for a OWG. We could possibly be there before the rapture, but IMO, the OWG cant come to fruition while the Holy Spirt/Church is still here.

Exactly. I believe that's what's implied by that Gap, no one knows how much time in between but some amount of time between the rapture and the start of the Tribulation may happen. I honestly don't know but I just know we're outa here with that Trumpet sound

With that thought, I think we "could" be here for the formation of the OWG, I'm only going by the fact that when the ten kings become one kingdom the Antichrist isn't in power initially.
Daniel 7:7 described that after that ten horned Kingdom forms then a "little horn" will subdue three of those kings and be recognized by the other kings as the leader and they give him authority.

11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.

12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.
Revelation 17:11-13

I am inclined to believe we are boarding flight 777 sooner than we know and may just miss all of that drama form

The verses you posted only mention what the AC will do, not when. Again, I believe there is no need for a OWG at this time, too many countries would not willingly give up their sovereignty without something that causes a global need for leadership. That need IMO will be after the rapture. All previous attempts throughout history have failed to form a OWG, and I believe the common denominator as to why they failed is the presence of the restraining Spirit.
