GETTING READY FOR THE RAPTURE: “The Rapture Is Not A Walk In The Park”
EVERY POSSIBLE SIGN IN THE BIBLE OR IN THE NEWS FOR THE END OF THE CHURCH AGE IS EVERYWHERE.1. THE WEATHER PATTERNS ARE BERSERK. 2. THE WORLD ECONOMY IS SO CLOSE TO CATASTROPHE THAT NOTHING CAN SAVE IT. 3. FIFTY (50) CHURCHES CLOSING ACROSS AMERICA WEEKLY. 4. BIBLE TRUTH HAS BEEN UTTERLY SHAMMED. 5. HOMOSEXUALITY GRIPPING AMERICAN CHURCHES AND SECULAR SOCIETY. (The last darkness of evil to become dominant before The Holy God destroys any society or Nation is Sodomy.) Clearly our Heavenly Father has had enough. 6. ISRAEL’S FUTURE IS GUARANTEED ONLY BY GOD’S ABSOLUTE PROMISES. 7. NAMED ONE TRUTH IN PROPHESY THAT IS NOT PERFECTLY FULFILLED. Please let this statement become a big part of your thinking, “THE RAPTURE IS NOT A WALK IN THE PARK”.The Theology that has flooded the Church world is nothing less than cheap and compromised. There are writers and preachers that actually teach that anyone that has simply believed in Christ without one ounce of a changed life are ready to go up when Jesus comes. Some teach that a homosexual or lesbian, practicing that immoral lifestyle is still ready for the Rapture if they were once believers. The churches are hearing Sunday after Sunday that we all are sinners, sinning more or less constantly. The people are given none of the multiple Biblical promises of victory over sin. Read this passage for an example of truth. “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him. (I John 3:4-6) This is a picture of the SAINTS that will meet Him in the air.‘THE RAPTURE IS NOT A WALK IN THE PARK”

Read and study to discover when The ONE-AND-ONLY (Post-Millennial)
Rapture (of yet-bodily-alive saints) will occur!
Ed Wood
Hello Pastor Joseph.
There have been many times in history when people have proclaimed “The End is Near.” At the beginning of 1000 A.D. this was the case, and in modern times we’ve had Charles Taze Russell (Founder of Jehovah’s Witnesses), any number of cult leaders, some of whom have actually caused the deaths of their followers, and most recently, Harold Camping.
I imagine Satan loves this “boy who cried wolf” effect because it causes people to either ignore or actively ridicule genuine teachers of prophecy such as yourself, Pastor Joseph.
But these times are like no other for all the things you mentioned ocurring concurrently in your article. Added to them is the fact that Israel is home in its ancestral lands after over a 1900 year hiatus which is an absolutely essential component in the culmination of history as we know it. I myself do not see any other significant element required to trigger the final events the Bible describes that will lead to the end of this age, other than the Rapture itself.
Therefore Jesus’ admonition to “Watch” is more urgent now than ever.

All true!

Icorigin. Why deny such clear Biblical Truth?! Postmillennialism is to deny scripture. Pastor Chambers couldn’t make it clearer, it is a Pre-Trib Rapture. Ready or not He’s coming! When He does, I’m going. Great OBD Brother!!

Even so come quickly L-rd Yeshua!! I can’t wait to see Him to bow down before Him!! He is my King He is my Everything!! AMEN AMEN

Just to stay on the Safe Side : Philippians ii:12-13
“The Rapture Is Not A Walk In The Park” And Neither IS SALVATION.
GOD’S WILL FOR us IS FOR us to be Saved.
But we still can lose our Salvation.
No doubt about it for nothing would please more our former master,
and we can be sure he is right now doing everything in his power
to bring it to pass, by drawing us out of The Ark and into the Flood to drown.
We cannot safely bet against it.
And the reward for winning this bet is Hell to pay.
Just keep a Healthy And Holy Fear And Trembling in our hearts, and let
GOD “worketh in” us “both to will and to do of his good pleasure”.
A healthy sense of fear keeps out recklessness.
But If It IS GOD WHO WORKS In us to will and to do OF HIS GOOD PLEASURE,
then HIS WORK In us IS OUT OF HIS LOVE For us (John iii:16 _ I John iv:10)
And HIS LOVE MUST RESULT In us our love FOR HIM.
According To our LORD’S CONFIRMATION OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (Matt xxii:37)
For “perfect love casteth out fear…” (I John iv:18)
————————————————————————-
Allow me a little cartoonish fancy:
Let’s picture Patriarch Noah’s Ark struggling in the billows of the Raging Flood.
And yet Seven Persons On The Ark have their hands full keeping the Eighth from
jumping overboard and into the water to pick the object of his desires :
a beautiful singing siren.
From our vantage point, we can see the siren as just a dummy propped up by someone
underwater disguised as Poseidon-Neptune, trident at the ready.
It is of course an old acquaintance of ours, the sorry lord, and not even well-disguised.
And the Eighth Person is Ham, and we can all be Ham.

Keep The Searchlights On The Wall At Full Power, Pastor Chambers.

when the fig tree put forth its branches and when I have called you back into the land
then what says the scripture is about to take place and we all feel it in our spirit
because the Holy Spirit testifies to our spirit –so hang on world your redemption
draws nigh
Janet Hagen
Oh Praise God people of the Lord!!! He’s coming for us….He’s coming soon! Lift up your eyes and watch, watch, watch…..He’s coming soon!!!!!

Dear Brother Joseph, the Rapture, as it is call, all those who are Born Again of The Holy Spirit of God and whose names are written in The Lamb’s Book of Life, will meet the Lord Jesus in the air. Question? does The Holy Spirit leave with the throng and the Lord? “if so”, as I have heard! How will, or, who are those people in Revelation chapter 7 verse 14, who come through great tribulation, How are they saved? they need the conviction of sin by The Holy Spirit. Or am I on the wrong track.

No dear ones, you can not lose your salvation. If you have ever given your heart to Jesus, that is; stated to him that you believe he is the son of God and ask him to come into your heart, then you are sealed with the holy spirit. You can not lose that. EVER!! Your name is forever written in the lambs book of life. Seal means permenant. Not a come and go thing. Jesus knows any sins you have done and any you may do in the future. If we try to continue to crucify him on the cross by believing that his work was not good enough, then we are not truly believing in his work. (In fact we are trying to save ourselves by worrying about what we can do that is good enough, what life we can live that is pleasing enough.) When in fact we can never be good enough on our own. Only forgiven after we have asked for him. We will never be truly free of sin until we are redeemed in Heaven, either by death or by the rature. Many believe there is a Jesus, but only some of us actually choose him. Choosing him does not mean we don’t make mistakes. Those of you who may go around thinking that with a Saved Soul you won’t sin again, may become prideful, and that too is a sin. The devil would have you believe that you can lose your salvation, so that your closeness with Jesus is challenged. He would like nothing more than to have doubting saved souls. This is a false teaching and should be avoided. Although it doesn’t take away your salvation, it does keep you from doing Christ’s good work and living the life of a Saint, thus leading others to him as well. For if we doubt our salvation, how can we lead other that are lost to him? There are way too many verses in the bible that teach – believe in him and have faith that he is the son of God. When I have ever had doubts on salvation, his words straight from the bible came to me – It is Finished, and My Grace is Sufficient. The only one that has ever spoken clear and precise to me is Jesus/Holy Spirit. All I have to do is remember the night I knelt and asked him to come into my heart. I was immediatley filled with spirit and I could feel it. So never doubt your salvation, if you have chosen him, asked him into your heart, asked him to be your savior. There is no “magic” prayer, but only a true belief, faith in him and repentance and admission of being a sinner. God Bless you all and hopefully a few of you reading this will find him today.

The Way Of Abel and The Way Of Cain :
According to our man’ s view, there is something a little amiss
in the Story of Cain and Abel.
For sure we do accept the fact that Cain was the evil one,
and Abel the Righteous one(I John iii:12)
Cain was the murderer and Abel the victim, aren’t they ?
But why was Cain’s works evil, and Abel’s righteous ?
Genesis iv:3-4 Tells us that Cain offered To GOD the fruit of his works,
while Abel offered the “firstlings of his flock”.
Apparently Cain offered plants, while Abel offered a live creature.
Our SPCA-conditioned mentality would have revolted against such an act,
approved of Cain and disapproved of Abel.
But Gen v:20 tells us it wasn’t until Jabal that men raised cattle, obviously for food.
So our tacit perception of Cain as a vegetarian and Abel an eater of meat is not right:
both brothers were vegetarians, as were their parents.
So what was the purpose of Abel’s flock ?
To breed lambs for GOD-PRESCRIBED SACRIFICES.
And why Must It be the Sacrifice of a live creature ?
To Substitute For man’s Life after the Fall,
AS GOD HAD DONE For Adam and Eve after their driving out of Eden (Gen iii:21, Rev xiii:8)
Abel understood and obeyed GOD’S ORDER(Hebrews xi:4).
We can be sure that Abel’s gentle nature was sorrowful at every necessary sacrifice.
But He knew too That Was GOD’S WAY TO PRESERVE his Life ACCORDING TO GOD’S LAW(Genesis ii:17)
Otherwise it would be Abel’ s Own Life.
Our LORD TAUGHT That no man can be good by himself,
and that every goodness we see is FROM GOD ( Mark x:18 )
But Cain, out of his self-righteousness refused to do so;
and instead offered the fruits of the labor of his hands.
Thus he inaugurated “the way of Cain”(Jude :11, theolologically known as Autosoterism.
And his act of rebellion is nothing short of witchcraft( I Samuel xv:23).
And WHEN GOD DID NOT ACCEPT his offering(Gen iv:5), Cain was driven to his act
as a way to get back At GOD, DESPITE GOD’S CLEAR WARNING to him personally (Gen iv:6-7).
The existence of tares in THE LORD’S Wheat Field(Matt xiii:25)
is a sad reality we have to accept.
But it is not for us to know until The Day OF THE LORD,
I have the feeling that not even The Angels Are Allowed To Know Until Then.
That’s Why our LORD WARNS us Not To Judge others(Matt vii:1-2)
And so it is with the Post-Millenial Rapture Doctrine with its corollary Dominionism,
The Way Of Cain.
