The Image of the Beast Comes Alive, “Trans-humanism or …..?”
”
Everyone with a food closet and a cache of guns and bullets will be the first visited after the Rapture. You have made yourself a sitting duck by all your preparation to survive the Antichrist. There are no secrets any longer. Your name and address is already in the possession of the “One World Order.” Any one that proclaims a Mid-Tribulation or a Post-Tribulation Rapture will be on the watch list for trouble. The devil’s crowd knows that you will repent and get ready to die when you have missed the Rapture and they will oblige you.
Trans-humanism is clearly part of the preparation for the end. Satan is going to manifest paranormal things never seen before. This image is going to be a powerful creature. There is perfect evidence that however it occurs demons are involved. The mark of the Antichrist is not required until this image is empowered and this mark is part of his deception. Whether a trans-human creature or a demon possessed image either will be subhuman and beastly.
There is no celebration in human history that compares with the plans being prepared for the raptured multitude. After we appear at the “Beme Judgment” and receive our rewards, the wedding happiness will begin. Nothing can compare with being totally glorified from the corruptible to the incorruptible. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.” (I Corinthians 15:51-54)
While we celebrate the earth will be in great consternation. The first three and one half years will be great judgments with millions facing grotesque deaths. The New World Religion will force (or kill) millions to join the “Rock Music Worship” in the mega-churches already practicing. They will believe they do God service by killing the repentant sinners claiming forgiveness in Jesus Christ. “They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.” (John 16:2)The Rapture and the Marriage Supper will be worth every sorrow you face to be ready.
At the middle of these seven years the Antichrist will rise to total authority and proclaim himself the savior of the world. His image in the Jerusalem Temple will be given life, (Trans-humanism,) and will demand his mark on the world population. “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” (Revelation13:15-18)
There will be no middle ground from this point forward. You are either for the Antichrist or for Jesus Christ. Your commitment will be life or death. If you take his mark you are forever damned. “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” (Revelation 14:9-11)Our world is at the point that every person must get ready to go with Jesus Christ or face the devil and his Antichrist.

“Everyone with a food closet and a cache of guns and bullets will be the first visited after the Rapture”.
People with caches of food and self-defense tools are already being visited.I believe you will be in a world of hurt if ya think God is gonna take His people out before the tribulation, and don’t prepare NOW. I agree LOTS and LOTS of Christian folks are gonna die during the tribulation, just like the Scripture says, but there isn’t a Second Coming , part A and a Second Coming, Part B, brother. Christ is only coming back the Second time, “and the dead in Christ will rise first, then those which are alive and remain til the coming of the Lord, will be causght up together in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air”
Explain how all this works, if Christ raptures all the Christians out at the so-called “Rapture, which is just seconds before the Tribulation starts,what is happens to all the folks that get saved during the tribulation and all the people that die for the name of Chrsit during the tribulation?
I think you got teh time schedule wrong. I think The Second Coming of teh Lord Jesus Christ comes at teh very end of teh Tribualtion……………..
Also, would someone PLEASE post a message on this forum real quick and tell me how to get into teh RSS feed? This thing only holds 10 messages and I can never hear any follow ups to my questions. How are folks suppose to learn, if they aren’t able to find this “RSS” feed
Mutt
Another thing. Why did NONE of the world’s most famous preachers, prior to 1825-30 EVER preach on “the Rapture”?
RJ
Mutt, the Lord alone knows whether your question deserves a fair answer; as I do not know if you are TRULY searching ~ or more than likely trying to smack those of us who have eyes to see & ears to hear ~ as I certainly sense bitterness in your tone! But don’t worry, those who are dogmatic & demand there will be no pre-trib rapture most likely aren’t going anywhere anyway.
You ask: if Christ raptures all the Christians out at the so-called “Rapture, which is just seconds before the Tribulation starts,what is happens to all the folks that get saved during the tribulation and all the people that die for the name of Chrsit during the tribulation?
/end quote
Well, no one claims the Tribulation starts “seconds after” the rapture. It may, or it may take days or weeks. Some think there could even be a bigger gap of time in between the two. I’m of the persuasion that most likely weeks — as there is Scriptural evidence between Rev. 4:1 to the beginning of the seal judgments.
And you ask what happens to all the folks who get saved DURING the Tribulation. Let’s let Scripture answer that:
From Revelation 7:9 … behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
“ Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?”
14 And I said to him, “Sir,[b] you know.”
So he said to me, “THESE ARE THE ONES WHO COME OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. /caps mine for “emphasis”
You also ask about what happens to those who are killed DURING the Tribulation (but have washed their robes & made them white ~ SINCE the rapture ~ this will be all those who become Christians….. REALLLLLLLLY living FOR Jesus in the post-rapture era ~ either turn to Jesus for the first time, OR have come out of the Laodecian churches)
And Scripture answers:
Rev. 6:9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

Hi Pastor Joseph.
We do know that the False Prophet will somehow cause an image of the Antichrist to become animated in some way. Will it be by technology or by calling up the powers of darkness? My own personal view will be that it may very well incorporate aspects of both. Notice in Revelation 13:11-18 that the Bible mentions directly that the second beast (which is the false prophet) taps into the same dark power from Satan that the first beast (the Antichrist) already has access to.
The business of the the mark may be an outgrowth of implantable RFID chip technology (Radio Frequency Identification) which already exists, and there was a report out some time ago about an RFID ink being developed with the same characteristics. This technology already allows the remote identification of pets, and in some cases, even people right now. If it hasn’t happened already, the same kind of GPS location ability which some cell phones have could easily be incorporated into either the chip or ink.
Regarding the very legitmate and excellent inquires about whether or not the Rapture is a real event and is different from the Second Coming, a great deal has been written in support of this, so I will put forth just a couple of prime examples which help make the case for me personally.
In the Rapture Jesus calls his people from the earth to meet them in the clouds (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) and it comes unexpectedly (Matthew 24:36-39) before the Tribulation and the advent of the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).
At the Second Coming the saints (believers in resurrected glorified bodies) come with Jesus back to Earth as part of the armies of heaven back to Earth (Zechariah 14:1-5; Revelation 19:11-14) exactly 3 1/2 years after the Abomination of Desolation is set up in the Holy Place (Daniel 7:21-25; Revelation 13:1-7) all of which happens at which point the Tribulation ends.
As to the fate of those who come to believe after the Rapture we see them in Revelation 6:9-11. I believe they, too, will be given glorified bodies at some point and also be part of the armies which come back with Jesus as we saw above.
As to why prominent preachers before the early 1800’s didn’t preach, I believe Jesus did preach about the Rapture, and I can’t imagine any better preacher than him!
Consider also the evangelist Paul’s own writings also pont to the reality of the Rapture as well.
I hope this information will be helpful and encourage everyone to “Be a Berean” (Acts 17:10-11) and not to take my word for it but to do their own research and make up their own minds.

One thing commonly ignored by many in the Church is what is called the Law of First Mention. In Scripture what first occurs in the Old Testament has its fulfillment in the New Testament. As this is written we are all in the New Testament era, right at Revelation 3:22, agreed?
Also, mid- and post-Tribulation adherents seem to ignore what happend to Enoch in Genesis 5. He walked with God for 300 years and was not, because God took him: 5:25 and Hebrews 11:5. With consideration of this Law of First Mention, what God has done before with Enoch He will certainly do again (with that part of the Church that is LOOKING for Jesus to meet them in the air). Also, Enoch is not coming back in the Tribulation as one of the two witnesses. His ministry and mission proved the point God wanted him to make – and don’t forget, Enoch prophesied the Second coming of Jesus returning with “ten thousands of his saints”: Jude 14-15. Now I ask you, just how did these saints get to return with Jesus?
Frankly, not being a betting man – if the Rapture occurred tomorrow the number taken from Christendon would be relatively small, because in most churches no one is being taught that they have a blessed Hope in Jesus: Titus 2:13. They are not being taught to anticipate His imminent return: Matthew 24:44, 25:1-13, Luke 21:36. We have many foolish virgins running around with no Blessed Hope and no oil in their lamps. Still, the resultant calamity when these saints are gone will be enormous. You want to be here for that? It will be sad for those left behind. Good day.

PREPARATIONS FOR HARD TIMES & RAPTURE?
Dear Joe Chambers,
All folks that have truly accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will go up in the rapture whether they believe Pre-Tribulation, Mid-Tribulation, or Post Tribulation. There may be differences of opinoin, but all Bible believing Christians will go up when it happens. It most likely will be before the OFFICIAL TRIBULATION. Those Christians that believed Mid-Trib or Post-Trib will be surprised by the timing of the Rapture when they suddenly find themselves in heaven in front of Jesus Christ at the Bema Seat, somewhat less prepared than those that expected an Early Rapture, and may lose some rewards. There are also some Mid-Trib or Post-Trib people in some CULTS such as SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS (a Jewish style religion that call itself “Chistian”, but is more Jewish in that demands its followers be BOUND TO KEEPING THE MOSAIC LAW, instead of SALVATION BY GRACE), Garner Ted Armstrong’s Judaism, Catholicism (Rome, Greek Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican-Episcopal, Copt) MIX JUDAISM WITH PAGANISM. “Christian” Identity (white supremacist racist cult). Liberal “mainstrean” denominations. Metropolitan Community (homosexual) Church. All these cults will be left behind when the GREAT EVACUATION (rapture) comes.
About FOOD STORAGE, there are several reason why people do this. Here is why: Jesus said that there would be FAMINES. It makes sense to be prepared, because we do not know whether the FAMINES WILL COME BEFORE OR AFTER EVEN A PRE-TRIB RAPTURE. Some have guns, because Jesus said that world will be filled with violence as it was in the DAYS OF NOAH. This can happen before or after rapture. Persecution can also happen before of after the rapture. Right now one of the greatest enemies of the Christians and Israel is in the White House. With the NDAA law, and withe HOLOCAUST CAMPS being built in the USA persecution can happen at any time. An election is comming up soon, If we vote out all the LEFTIST AND LIBERALS OUT OF WHITEHOUSE, CONGRESS, STATEHOUSES, AND LOCAL OFFICES, we might can avoid a HOLOCAUST long enough for Jesus to catch us up in the Rapture. I think the reason why Christians do FOOD STORAGE, is because Joseph did it in preparation for a FAMINE. Jesus said that there would be a famine. So if you have food storage keep it up, it might be just enough until the keep your family from starving until the rapture. If the RAPTURE COMES A LOT SOONER THAN YOU EXPECT, AND YOU LEAVE BEHIND A LARGE FOOD STORAGE, THEN IT CAN BE A BIG HELP FOR RELATIVES A FRIENDS, OR NEIGHBORS LEFT BEHIND. Yes the governments may know who has these, but when they come to the houses of Christians, that have already have left in the Rapture, they will find the food and guns, BUT WILL NOT FIND THE PEOPLE THAT THEY WANTED TO ARREST. It is probably more likely that LOOTERS WILL GET TO THESE HOSES FIRST, BEFORE THE TROOPS DO. There will be WIDESPREAD DISORDER ESPECIALLY IN THE BIG CITIES WITH LOOTING AND RIOTING AFTER THE RAPTURE. Don’t be left behind. Accept Jesus, and go up in the GREAT EVACUATION.
Sincerely,
Keith Black

The Rapture will happen before the Tribulation begins, That 7 year period belongs to the old testiment, Remember he was cut off, Then the age of GRACE begin[ THE Church Age} it ends at the beginning of the Tribulation, Just be ready, It could get a little bumpy, But the wrath of GOD
IS FOR CHRIST rejectiors, dont be one of them.

I agree with Mutt. Christ’s second coming and the rapture/resurrection clearly happens AFTER the great tribulation. Just look at what the Bible says about the first resurrection in Rev 20:4-6(RSV): “4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.” See? If there was a rapture/resurrection before the great tribulation had begun, then this next resurrection of Christian martyrs described in Rev 20:4-6 would have to be a SECOND resurrection, rather than the FIRST resurrection, as it says.

Mutt, my friend you must rightly divide the word of truth. There WILL be a pre trib rapture and you BETTER be ready!
Judy
John wrote in Rev 20 that there will be TWO resurrections – the FIRST one being martyrs who
give their life in the Name of the Lord. The second is at the end of the thousand-year millenium.

To All,
The preachers before the 1800’s did teach and preach about the rapture, they used a different term, “delivered up” and or “delivered up to the kingdom of God.” One example is Matthew Henry, in the early 1700″s. He also wrote a complete commentary on the Bible, 1708-1710. It is the best I have ever read to date.

Dear Pastor
Trans-humanism, aka 666 the Beast Trioxyribonuleic acid (TNA) vs DNA write the sixes in a circle with the bases at the centre and the tails pointing out in three equal directions.
From a top view, TNA , a three stranded object appears. Linus Pauling thought DNA was really three strands and this was written about in 1952. The dark side has used this shape/image for years we did not get the point though, not till today
In my opinion Rev 9:6
This is how come the seek death for 5 months but can not find it. people get their DNA restructured to TNA, thinking surely they will not die. (Stem Cell Research.)
Just a thought.
God Bless
jaimie
P.S. Mutt; why did Paul want to get back to Jerusalem around the Pentecost?
Bill Andrews
Note to all ; Please read the article CAREFULLY before making a comment. Its clear that many do not understand (as usual) what Pastor Chambers is preaching. Their comments reflect it.
On a seperate note ; Yes the Rapture was most certainly taught by several ministers as far back as the third century (Ephraim the Syrian) and even the first century (Paul and the Apostles-read your Bible).
Another great and timely message Pastor Chambers, thanks !
Janet Hagen
Please consider that in this economy, few believers (overall) have the finances to stock up on food. This is something I greatly worry about and try very hard to put the worry away. My capabilities to stock up on food will result in enough food storage for maybe 2 months….if I didnt share. How could I not share? In other words, it doesnt seem to matter if you stock up or not…..we must look to our Lord to supply ALL our needs in the dark days ahead.

Rapture before Tribulation. Firmed in the bible. Enough said. Pastor Chambers speaks the truth on this. Why would Jesus beat the cr*p out of his bride, then come snatch her up to be married right before he battles it out with Satan?! Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. ALL Christians go in the rapture. There is no such thing as some are ready some are not. The “Christians” who are left, are not really Christians, ie – they never either had faith in their heart that Jesus was who he said and died for them, and/or repend to God and asked to be forgiven and receive Jesus. We do not WORK to save ourselves or keep ourselves saved. We will sin until we die or are raptured. We will always struggle with the flesh, it is the sin part. But our hearts and souls belong to God once we choose him, and mean it. God knows if you mean it or not.

Beloved You Better get SET for It, There is NO Rapture…READ YOUR FATHER’S WORD
What did Paul say????? He said NO Rapture!!!….The LORD told us who was in the (1st Resurrection) in Rev 20:4-5..These ARE In the 1st Resurrection.. Which Had NOT worshipped the Beast,…. neither his image…. neither had received his mark upon their foreheads…. or in their hands… and THEY lived and reigned with Christ a Thousand Years….vrs 5: This is the First Resurrection
Does the “rapture theory” still look inviting to you????? If it does, friend, you’re in a heap of trouble…. (This is not me talking, but John and Paul) for both are Warning YOU to be watching out for the Antichrist, for he is a copy of exactly what you expect of Christ. The Antichrist [Satan] will have supernatural powers,…… and he will come first,….. before our Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul is now getting to the Purpose for this (Second Letter). Paul reminded them of his first letter to them, of Christ returning and our gathering back to Him. Because of the (Misunderstanding) that could be drawn from the first letter, he writes the following.
2Thessalonians 2:1 “Now we beseech you, brethren, (by The COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ), and (By Our Gathering Together unto Him)
The SUBJECT again of this letter is; “Our Gathering Back To Christ”.
2 Thessalonians 2:2 “That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, NOR by Letter as From Us, as that the day of Christ is [the Lord is just] at hand.”
Paul doesn’t want you to misunderstand what he is about to say. This is why he makes it plain and simple; Paul told them not to confuse what he is saying here with any other teaching, or spirit, or even that first letter from him
.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 “Let no man Deceive you by any means: for that day shall NOTcome [it will not be], except there come a falling away first (“Apostasy”), and that (Man of Sin be Revealed), the son of perdition;”
Jesus Christ is not gathering anyone to Him, nor is He coming here to earth, Except there be a falling away first. The word for “falling away”, in the Greek is “Apostasy”. Jesus told us in His revelation to John, in Revelation 9:11, that “Apollyon” is one of Satan’s names, and this name is derived from the word apostasy.
The word “perdition” means “one that perishes”. Satan and only Satan has already been condemned to die [to perish] by God
What did Paul say again?????
Jesus Christ is coming back to this earth, but the saints of Christ will not be gathered to Him until the “son of perdition” [Satan-Antichrist] be Revealed First
2Thessalonians 2:4 “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”
Do you know what Jesus said about this very thing. Jesus called it in Matthew 24:15, the very same thing that Daniel called it in Daniel 9:27; “the Abomination of desolation”. A more correct translation in the “James Moffatt translation Bible” is called “The abomination by the desolator”.
“Satan claiming to be God” is the abomination, and “he” [Satan] is the desolator, for the entire world will believe him; except for God’s elect, and all those who have the seal of God in their minds [foreheads]. The sealed of God have their gospel armor on, and they are ready to face Satan and his system in the spiritual warfare.
HALO
The micro chip that they want to put in the hand or forehead is the mark of the beast, it has the numbers 666 on it, and is going to be used world wide. DO NOT ACCEPT THE MICRO CHIP!!!!
