EMERGENCY! THE UNPREPARED WILL SHORTLY BE “THE LEFT BEHIND” (Eight things you must know if you are “Left Behind”.)
IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET READY FOR THE RAPTURE THEN YOU MUST GET READY FOR THE ANTICHRIST, THE DEVIL AND THE RELIGIOUS MOBS. You cannot afford to suddenly be left after the Rapture and not know what you are going to face and how to deal with the darkness you will endure and not be eternally lost. You must know the kind of powers and destruction coming on this world. If you cannot serve the Lord now then you will need to understand how much worse it will be when the devil actually rules the world with no restraints.
Let me list eight things you will encounter and how you must prepare.
1. Prepare your mind to deal mentally with absolute darkness from the Spirit realm.
2. Prepare to pray with no great emotional relief.
3. Get prepared to endure hunger and thirst to the point of starvation.
4. Get ready to suffer the ravaging of your life from those old friends and family members that will be ashamed of your commitment to Jesus Christ.
5. Prepare for attacks of fear that will be relentless and devastating.
6. Prepare for grotesque creatures out of hell attacking, mutilating and tormenting you.
7. Be prepared for a World Health system so overloaded and inadequate as to be helpless.
8. Prepare for death and murder, rape and molestation, the absence of police protection and mobs of mindless people driven crazy by the out of control world.
The Spirit of God shook me before this sermon was delivered. The time is here! The multitudes of unprepared men and women will have been “Left Behind.” To dare consider what the world will be like is scary. Sons and daughters will call their mothers and fathers frantically. No answers will only heighten their feelings of doom. Hurrying home to their parents will increase their anxiety. The car is in the drive but no one answers the door. They know where the hidden key is located and quickly it will be retrieved. Once in the house there is no answer to their trembling voice. Shoes are beside the bed and night clothes are under the cover. Their parents have simply vanished leaving everything behind.
God’s perfect Scripture clearly outlines such an awesome day. Jesus said, “And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” (Matthew 24:39-42) These words from Christ are perfect in describing the event we know as the Rapture. Everyone of us know the horrors the world experienced when the flood suddenly destroyed every living soul. Jesus said the coming hour will be as it was in Noah’s day.
There will be midnight disaster for the multitudes of souls that do not have the wedding garment about themselves. Jesus told a parable to heighten this truth. “And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 22: 11-13)
The very last thing He said to His church is found in the “Letter to His Church at Laodicea. Nothing or no Truth in the Bible is found closer to the Rapture. There is one verse between the warning and the call to “come up hither.” He said, “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” (Revelation 3:15-19)
His Truth must become a primary conversation among God’s saints. We must sit down with our families and friends and talk about what to do if suddenly they find that Jesus came and they are left. Where will you go? How will you get food to feed your family? The government at that time under the Antichrist will know every person or family with a stock pile of foods and supplies. Small arms and even a few machine guns will be no defense against drones over your head with spitfire missiles aimed at your dwelling. The world system already knows where every family lives that are stockpiling for the coming hour of “One World Control.”
You are desperate to quit planning how to survive during the coming darkness but rather how to be gone. The next few weeks I plan to help the foolish virgins know what to do to save their soul when you can no longer save your life and your family. Please listen to this Sermon.

This woud make a great tract!

WOW!!!!! Thank you for this word!! So true!! We are RIGHT ON the edge of eternity.
Though absolutely no one knows (or can guess) the exact day & hour… Even so, considering the headlines & all that is going on in the world, it is easy to speculate in wondering if the rapture may be this very year, possibly before the election. {???} Perhaps even before summer; we shall soon see one way or another.
We are soooo close to seeing Jesus!! Let’s make a pact to honor Him with the way we live our lives each day! Amen & even so, COME Lord Jesus!!

Hello Pastor Joseph.
This was a particularly sobering discourse, but absolutely needed to be presented. Even so, it is unfortunate that many who read it won’t believe it – until they find out the hard way how accurate it is.
The sad part is that there is NO REASON for anyone to have to go through the Post-Rapture world because Jesus has promised all who turn to him in faith will be saved from the seven-year hell that will be coming to Earth and the never-ending hell of being cast into the lake of fire after the Great White Throne Judgment at the end of the Millennium.
And if, after all the Bible evidence and presentations such as that above people will still not believe, how much harder will it be when the Holy Spirit is no longer restraining Satan’s influence over this world?
TODAY is the appointed time (2 Corinthians 6:2) to accept Jesus because tomorrow is promised to no one. The increasing urgency I sense in the pastor’s recent messages concerning what will soon be upon this planet is not imaginary – this is as real as it gets.
We’ve been warned!

Mat.24:39-42 Jesus followers ask where were they taken. Jesus said Mat.24:28 Wherever there’s a dead body, that’s where you find the vultures. Leave me out of your rapture. I’m going by way of Passover. Threw the wilderness under the glory cloud fire by night and cloud by day as they had came out of Egypt. Know more see lionlamb.net Sample Teaching; The Greater Exodus

Thanks brother, very well put! – reading todays post by Bill Wilson; he goes on saying that those you do not preach the ‘blessed hope’ are most likely in a cult (I agree) and this soon coming 7 yr event when Satan is cast to earth will not be pretty in any way, Hades will even be worse where God’s presence will be absolutely void, including hope – the Lord for a moment let me experience the ‘no hope’ part, I can not even come close to explaining this but it was way worse than anything anyone could even come close to imagine and Hell would be way worse where the designed worm will never die while being bathed in a nuclear fire. Nobody has to go there, Jesus is the way, Praise God!
Mark Steiner
When it comes to end times and warning Church members (not the world) about the imminent return of Jesus and the judgments that follow, it’s almost like speaking to deaf ears. They don’t want to hear about what Bro. Chambers just presented, or the ramblings of this silly old Watchman … God IS gracious and merciful but He has warned in advance. Those ministers in the pulpit NEED to ignore the platitudes of Rick Warren, to say somethings and SOON … Israel may attack Iran without warning in March and the Spring Feasts of the Lord (and their historic/prophetic implications) are upon us. God help us be ready!

SURVIVAL AFTER RAPTURE
Dear Joe Chambers,
There are indeed some people that are stupid, that will find themselves in the Tribulation. There are also some people that think that they are saved because they are very RELIGIOUS, that will find themselves LEFT BEHIND. They had lots of GOOD WORKS, INVOLVED IN CHARITY GROUPS, and other things, but just did not realize that they had not really accepted Jesus the proper way. JESUS SAID “I AM THE WAY, THE LIFE, AND THE TRUTH. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME.” Accepting the blood sacrifice of Jesus, repenting, and asking for forgiveness is the only way to be saved before or after the Rapture. If you accept him before the Rapture (evacuation), you will be taken to a place of safety in Heaven. If you do it after the evacuation has already it is TOO LATE FOR YOU TO AVOID THE MOST EXTREME SEVERE TROUBLE TO EVER HIT THE EARTH CALLED THE TRIBULATION. You will find some of you family members missing, because they evacuated. You will weep. Well your family members that went to heaven and find that you did not come with them will also WEEP THAT YOU DID NOT COME TO HEAVEN WITH THEM. They will be worried about you. You can still be saved, but you will probably be MARTYRED FOR BECOMING A CHRISTIAN AFTER THE RAPTURE. If you die saved in the Tribulation, and you go to heaven, YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS IN HEAVEN WILL BE WAITING IN HEAVEN WITH OPEN ARMS READY TO WELCOME YOU ABOARD. The Tribulation will be the most BRUTAL TIME EVER ON EARTH.
SIncerely,
Keith Black

Dear Pastor Chambers,
This was absolutely awesome ! Why ? Because we are right at the very threshold of the Rapture and the seven year tribulation to follow.
On an even more somber note, this kind of message will (and has already) surely bring out the scoffers Peter spoke so sternly about in God’s word.
I can’t figure out why they keep reading articles about a truth they don’t believe in. They’ll believe it soon though while their Greater Exodus theory and other false teachings send them through a fiery destruction. Thats too bad.
Thanks again Pastor for speaking the Truth !
Marc Edwards
Thank You Pastor Chambers. This is very sobering and there are so many signs that the end has come. It was written that the end would come as it has for we refused to live our lives as the Lord Jesus tried to teach us, so what is written will be. I know this is coming, I have been watching for a long time. I have been recently awakened to many facts of what will yet to happen as the ned comes and the events are taking place. I do hope I have done well enough in my life to be taken up in the rapture and I surely do not want to be left behind. I already fear being left behind and feel sorry for anyone who is left here. I am not sure I have done enough to please my father to recieve his grace. I don’t want to be here for the next seven years. I pray for all of us in the name of the Lord Jesus, to be saved.
Ed Wood
Matthew 24:28 For where the carcase is, there the eagles will be gathered together. (King James Version)
I am not entirely certain what Jesus meant by this, but I believe it is possible that the most obvious reference might be to the gathering of the carrion-eating birds over the bodies of the vanquished after Jesus comes back to put a stop to the battle of Armageddon which is yet to come (Revelation 19:17-21). Perhaps he is using it to illustrate that just as the scavenging birds recognize the signs of death, we should likewise recognize the signs of these times.
Next, the only choice you get about where you spend eternity is to believe in Jesus or not, that’s it. Yet even if you do believe, you still do not get to tell Jesus how and when to convey you to heaven. (Unilke choosing an earthly destination, selecting the train, bus, automobile, boat, plane, etc. is NOT an option in this regard!)
If you are a believer, Jesus will call for you to remove you from this planet before the Tribulation begins (1 Thess. 4:16-18). I do not recommend that you refuse to go when he does, just because he didn’t do it the way you wanted or expected.
Remember, God knows best – and he is the one in charge, not us!
Bill Scudder
I think “Christians'” should be ready for both–The return of Christ or the great tribulation. There are true Christians that disagree with each other of which comes first. Which way you believe has nothing to do with if you are saved or not.
RJ
Someone says: Which way you believe has nothing to do with if you are saved or not.
Maybe not ~ but it MAY well have something to do with WHETHER a person goes UP in the rapture or not!! Speaking for myself, I want to be waiting, watching, & longing for Jesus’ coming. Hebrews mentions He comes for those who are EAGERLY waiting for Him (Heb. 9:28) ~ plus Luke 21 tells us to watch and pray ALWAYS …. to be “accounted worthy” to escape.
Not getting into a pre-trib/post-trib debate here — but merely want to point out that AFTER the Trib, there will be absolutely NO NEED for a rapture at that point!! What’d be the point of going to meet Jesus in the sky — only to have to do an immediate 180 degree turnaround & come RIGHT BACK DOWN with Him to the Mt. of Olives? This would also neglect John 14:3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
WHERE does one escape TO? Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you;
Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past. Isaiah 26:20
The Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth (that is Is. 26:21) AND it will be like a SNARE to all those dwelling on the earth at that time! (Read Luke) Read also the N.T. how Christians are NOT appointed to His wrath!! Hence, if the rapture was not pre-trib, this Scripture could not be true. Take comfort in knowing God never lies.
I want to be one of those in heaven during The Tribulation — one of those who the AntiChrist will “cuss out”… ref: Rev. 13:6

Cotton Pickin’! What am I doing in Michigan??? I need to get to NC where I can hear more of this Holy Ghost preaching. Wow!! The trump of God is about to sound!!!!

Frank DiMora
Dear Pastor Chambers,
My name is Frank DiMora and am the author of the Bible prophecy documentary entitled: “The Last Chronicles of Planet Earth”. At the present time my book is being read by people all over
the world, and many are giving their lives over to Christ because of the facts, evidence, and proof in this book. Jesus has made it possible that I would never have to charge anyone anything for anything I do in this ministry and I offer you my work for free today to pass on to your Church Members. I read your message on the rapture and I agree with you 100%. If there is anything I can do to help your members see the importance of knowing the last days signs I would be honored to help. You can read my book today by going to my site and downloading it.
May the Lord watch over you and keep you, and may you keep preaching the entire Word of God! If you would like a hard copy of my book email me.

People that live in America need to prepare for things to get much worse
here. They are elsewhere. We are seeing danger signs in the world of an
economic collapse. David Wilkerson warned of it for years.
Wyclife Bible translators are still reporting that about 2 billion people
in the world have never even heard of Jesus. The gospel of the kingdom still
has to be preached. (Matthew 24)
Ed Young Sr, of 2nd Baptist Houston, reported in the spring of 2007,
that 6 of 8 Evangelical youth stop attending church when they complete
high school. The number is 7 of 8 in liturgical groups.
Many Calvinists still promote a “once saved” heresy even though everyone
has scripture. We are in the middle of a great apostasy. I am asking
churches in the Texas area to pray for an awakening.
People who do not practice righteousness, 1 John 3, cannot prove that they
are saved. They can forget about a rapture or heaven.
