HOW TO KNOW YOU WILL MISS:“THE GREAT TRIBULATION”
A MULTITUDE IS GOING TO SUDDENLY REALIZE, “I HAVE MISSED THE RAPTURE.” You will be frightened beyond insanity. “THE DOUBLE MINDED CHURCH WORLD IS JUST NOT READY” One of the most powerful Scriptures in the Holy Bible warning us of people missing the Rapture is Matthew Chapter Twenty-Five. These are the words of Jesus Christ and there is only one Marriage Supper in the Word of God. The five foolish virgins were unprepared to go with the Lord because they were “DOUBLE-MINDED.” “And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.” (Matthew 25:8-10) “Foolish” virgins are virgins that are religious and decent people. They live clean and love many things of truth but they are unsettled and undisciplined in walking after the ways of God. In other words they have never abandoned themselves to taking up the cross, denying themselves and following wholly after the Lord. In Revelation, Jesus said they were lukewarm. “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” (Revelation 3:16) James talked about the “double-minded state of nonspiritual people. “For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:7-8) The church world has never been so full of “double-minded people.” Their Christian walk is up today and down tomorrow. They appear religious unless it’s a bad day or someone angers them. They move from church to church or from one marriage to another marriage. Nothing is an absolute to them. But it is absolute that they will miss the Rapture and be left for the “Seven Years of the Great Tribulation.” Jesus said it and that settles it. Please listen to this Sermon.

Those that are luke warm at the time of the rapture in Revelation 3:16 were not Christians.
Not one blood bought true Christian will miss he rapture.

Question: “Should churches be seeker-friendly?”
Answer: Of course churches should be friendly towards seekers. We are to be friendly to seekers no matter the location. But, being friendly, even welcoming, to seekers, is not what the seeker-friendly church movement is all about. Many evangelical church leaders these days have redesigned both their churches and their services in an effort to bring more people through their doors. This is, in a nutshell, the essence of a “seeker-friendly” church—offering worldly allurements to attract the multitudes. The proponents of the seeker friendly church claim to be doing whatever is necessary to “reach the lost.” The fallacy with that kind of thinking is that “the lost” are not seeking God at all. The Bible says that “no one seeks for God” (Romans 3:11). This means there is no such thing as an unbeliever who is truly seeking for God on his own. Furthermore, man is dead in his sin (Ephesians 2:1), and he can’t seek God because he doesn’t recognize his need for Him.

If Jesus is returning for a spotless church in experience,
as Paul states in Ephesians most Evangelicals will not
be raptured unless there is massive change. And if they
cannot prove they obey God with scripture, they just might
be tares. Matthew 13
People who promote a pre-trib rapture will in time find out
they are wrong, but it may cost them. Jesus will deny those
who deny him. 2 Timothy 2:11-14 (Christian leaders are commanded
to teach this by the way) REmind them of these things.
Paul, an apostle, warned let no 1 deceive you, the gathering will not
take place unless the apostasy (falling away, KJV) and anti-christ
is revealed first. 2 Thes 2:1-3 There is no chance Jesus will
return today unless people know who the anti-christ (singular) is.

Dale,
You are free to stay here to see the Antichrist, but as for me I’ll be watching from above. You misunderstand 2nd Thessalonian prophecy of the “day of Christ”. If your way was right then Revelation 4:1 prophecy (rapture before Tribulation) would be a lie. You deny the simple truth, I don’t understand how everyone is turning away from the PreTribulation Rapture, it’s one of the greatest truths in scripture for the Church, and not only that but of the character of our awesome God and His love for His Bride!
William Walker
The book is Matthew is for the Nation of Israel, not the Body of Christ. Israel was under the
Abrahamic covenant until Jesus gave the Gospel of Grace to Paul. Matthew 24 is also about the tribulation. How could the nation of Israel know anything about the rapture if they were an earth bound nation, whose Messiah was to have His earthly kingdom? There is nothing in this covenant that speaks of a rapture. Paul was the first to mention it. The 4 gospels preached the LAW. Paul’s gospel preached Grace, not works.
James Lishman
I was always intrigued by the foolish and wise virgins, why would they not lend some of their oil?
As my walk with CHRIST developed I came to realise that the oil was each individuals relationship with JESUS thru the HOLY SPIRIT dwelling in us.
I cannot lend you a bit of my relatinship as it is a personal growth thru the HOLY SPIRIT with our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
In short make sure of your relationship with JESUS as ONLY thru HIM we are saved by unmerited Grace and unending love JESUS showed us by offering HIMSELF in our stead.
Get your personal relationship with JESUS in the right standing by the indwelling SPIRIT who guides us in all truths (John 16:13)
Only then will your ticket out of here be validated! Maranatha

Is it possible that believers now argue about ‘rapture’ because they’r scared silly?
That’s GOOD. While we frantically search scripture for an escape-hatch from these times upon us, we will come to better know God.
Rev 20:4-5 says clearly that only those beheaded in Tribulation will be in the FIRST Ressurection.
“And the REST of the dead won’t live again until the 1,000 years are finished”
I recently showed this to a pastor who said it was a mistaken translation. I guess what we hear
in Seminary is truth, and the Bible can’t be trusted. ??
Ed Wood
How can we miss the Tribulation?
By having a genuine faith in Jesus Christ.
If you do, Jesus already knows you are one his flock. As a result, you will recognize the Good Shepherd’s voice when he calls us all home (John 10:1-16).
I believe it is just that simple!

Dear Pastor,
The use of the word unsettled caught my attention, it is not in any of my concordances.
However neither is the word trinity. i want to meditate on this.
When i see suffering and horrid violence happening in this world with no, or little justice and no peace and nations threatening to annihilate Israel, i feel unsettled.
When i consider my affection for other Christians when i meet them, only to find out we are on different pages biblicaly speaking, i feel unsettled. were is the holy kiss? Why more than one truth?
When my family avoids any Christian discussion i feel unsettled.
When i depend on this world to much i feel unsettled.
Forgive me; what i mean to say is during the times i am away from Jesus i feel unsettled.
God Bless

To Dale,
Scripture clearly supports a pre-trib rapture as God always removes the righteous before sending His judgment viz Sodom & Gomorrah, removing Lot & his family, the flood, removing Noah & his family as these were the “only righteous” at the time. These pattern the rapture. Who are the righteous?
All who trust in the Lord Jesus for their salvation. Paul clearly teaches a rapture in 1Thes 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. Another question to ask yourself is :- Why would the Bridegroom batter His bride half to death before coming to take her to the place He has prepared for her? The jewish wedding patterns the wedding of the Church to Christ & rather than battering the bride the bridegroom comes at an unexpected hour to take her while she watches & waits for him.

Sandra and Bill Scudder,
My dear Friends I must correct you! You are not wiser than Jesus Christ or His half Brother James. The Holy Ghost spoke by them and many others warning the Church to walk in obedience and Holiness less they miss the great Hope of the Church. You seem to want to destroy all responsibiity of God’s children. Listen to the Son of God, “And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.” (Luke 21:34) There are hundreds of warnings to God”s People to “Walk in the Light” or a similar command. You take your careless living as a virtue and try to teach others the same. This website is committed to a Godly lifestyle without excuse. Please enjoy the good I say and quit jumping on every statmwnt with your determined effort to teach your idea.
I LOVE YOU AND CARE DEEPLY!!!!!!!
Joseph R. Chambers
Well Said Bill Scudder.
I may add – Born again Christians do stumble, fall, move away from the flock so to speak…… works such as going to the same church all the time, never getting angry when you have a bad day does not KEEP you a Christian. Once you accept Christ, your are indwelded with the Holy Spirit and that DOES NOT leave. So you can’t become un Christian. However, Christ gave parables such as the lost sheep, and how that sheep is still a sheep, but become separated from the heard (for humans we are separated from God by sinful ways) even after being saved. It happens. But Grace and our faith in Jesus, and admittance of this to him – is our Salvation. There will be many who do not live just right who will go in the Rapture because they have been Saved by Christs blood (their rewards may be few in heaven at the Bema Seat Judgement) and their will be wonderful living people who never became saved (just couldn’t accept Christ was IT!!) and they will be left behind. It might surprise some of us who we see and don’t see when we get to the Wedding Supper of our Lamb.

The Oil Is One Of The Symbols For THE HOLY SPIRIT.
RobiMac
So, does this mean that the 5 foolish virgins represent the Laodicean church? That’s what it sounds like since the church is neither hot nor cold.
Dale
Many people who promote a pre-trib rapture wrongly suggest
that tribulation is God’s wrath. And many post-tribbers
also think that the church will be on earth when God pours
out his wrath as recorded in Revelation. Scripture teaches
neither.
Sandra
1-Pre-tribulation: Most popular and most taught by the churches- the teaching is that the rapture occurs prior to the start of the tribulation period. This is also known to be called ‘the secret rapture’ because the belief is that Jesus comes secretly and quietly in the air to collect the saints who just disappear into the air.
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,” (2 Timothy 3:16)
READ YOUR BIBLE and pray to the Lord for wisdom and discernment. God gives us His word because He wants us to listen to HIM not man.
The book of Jude is about the Apostasy of the church.
The majority of Christians are taught and believe without any question that the rapture will occur prior to the tribulation period that Jesus warned us about in Matthew 24:21. Therefore many will be caught completely off guard when things start to go down hill VERY FAST!
Mike Roodt
If scripture as you say does not teach that “The time of Jacob’s trouble” is the judgment of our Lord being poured out upon firstly the Jews & then the Nations please tell me what it does teach?
In my opinion it is the Grace of our Lord being poured out in a final attempt to bring the unrepentant peoples of the earth to repent (& to the Jews who will indeed turn to His Son)& turn to Him that they may indeed receive His salvation by sending out the 144,000, angels & the two witnesses to bring the Gospel to the peoples of the earth. How great & how merciful is our God.
Donna Byrd
To Dale,
2 Thes. 2:1-12, Paul is correcting error among the Thessalonians,as he had spoken to them of the coming of Christ in 1 Thes. They thought Christ was coming now. Paul explains again, to correct them. “Let no man deceive you by any means: for THAT DAY SHALL NOT COME, EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST,” apostasy in the church happens first. Then and only then will “that man of sin be revealed.” He is warning them the antichrist would rise up through apostasy, and all false doctrine. He goes on to say “they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” To be safe in heaven, the rapture. Paul is giving them and us an outline of events that will happen.
“Whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and the brightness of his coming.” The 1000 year reign of Christ.

Dear Pastor
To those who do not believe in the Pre-Trib rapture,
Enoch was taken, Elijah was taken, Moses’s body was retrieved by Michael, 8 people were hidden in a boat while the flood happened, the Jews will be hidden in Jordan.
Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep the from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the Earth. Hence we are hidden away as well.
Who dwells on the Earth at that time, those who are tried.
So were does the Church go? Up in the air to meet Jesus and the Wedding Supper of the Lamb. Why is it so hard to believe this would be difficult for the Lord to do. With enough faith we can move mountains! Were is your faith, is this why our Lord Jesus said; When I return, shall I find any faith.
Therefore repent and May God Bless you with the Faith of a Child.
Pastor Chambers is correct so please listen to him. Why am i so adamant, because i have seen miracles happen in his name. There is nothing impossible with God.

2 Timothy 4:1-4 warns that heresy will be throughout the elect
because people would not endure sound doctrine. Some of which
has to do with end-times theology. I get it. It is the lusts
of men that drive a pre-trib rapture in your face heresy.
Just as it is the lusts of men that drives a “once saved always
saved” heresy. Even though all modern Evangelicals claim to
believe scripture, scripture warns that they will not.
