The multitude of lukewarm Christians and Sinners dying as Martyrs after the Rapture
The Book Of Revelation is a breathtaking drama. The chapters from One to Twenty-Two, except chapters Two and Three, are in every case a living theatrical production. John saw the Book come alive before his face. We’ve provided a link at the end for you to enjoy all of these visions in an extensive series of articles revealing what John saw. Do not miss one of them for they make the Book of Revelation a “Living Picture” and simple for you to teach others and to awake lost souls. The word “saw” or synonyms of that word are used over sixty times in twenty chapters of the Book Of Revelation.
No picture in this revelation is more graphic than the multitude of dying or dead saints, martyred for their faith in Jesus Christ. This vast number are clearly the multitudes that missed the Rapture but repented and became willing sacrifices for Christ. This scene shows up first in chapter Six almost as soon as the Seven Years of the Great Tribulation begins.
When the Lamb of God had opened the fifth seal, the text tells us what John saw. “I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:” (Revelation 6:9b) They were physically dead but yet alive. They had been martyred but were now awaiting their resurrection. Their death had been so gruesome that even in this glorious place and clearly beyond the instrument of their death they were pained to remember how they died. John saw and heard as they cried aloud. “And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” (Revelation 6:10) I know of no place in Scripture where death did not hide the suffering that preceded the death. But this is the Great Tribulation of which Jesus said, “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” (Saint Matthew 24:21-22)
John saw them given “white robes” and told to rest and await as the carnage continued on the earth. These were the first to turn to Jesus Christ and die by the “One World Religious System” and the government powers of the “One World Order”. These already put to death or martyred for their new found faith could rejoice that death has spared them from the ongoing calamity on earth. John wrote what he saw happen to them. “And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” (Revelation 6:11)
This drama gives us a picturesque view of the hellish treatment awaiting anyone that misses the Rapture and even thinks to be saved. The cost of discipleship today does not touch the cost of discipleship after the Rapture. The devil will have lost the prize of the “Bride of Christ” he so determined to destroy. The remnant repenting will be seen as the last vestige of our present effort to warn the world. He will shake his fist at us in heaven while he slaughters our sons and daughters left behind. “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” (Revelation 12:17)
John does not just view their death and the sorrows of such horrible suffering. He sees the triumph also. We move to chapter Seven and this great multitude that have died are no longer under the altar but caught up to be guests at the wedding supper. They can no longer count on being in the Bride but can be part of the great banquet celebration. They are a multitude from all over the earth. There is no longer a heathen world that has never heard the name of Jesus. Both the lie of Lucifer and the truth of Jesus Christ is known by all the earth’s population.
All nations will know and will be a part of these scenes. “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.” (Revelation 7:9-10) There will certainly be an incredible number of those that know enough of the Gospel and truth to quickly repent of their unprepared spiritual condition. I believe the vast population of heathens, false religions, and post-Christian churches will now learn the truth and have the privilege for the price of martyrdom for Christ. Do not miss a later scene that John the Revelator saw that we will call “The Guest At the Wedding Supper.”
This world is about to see the Shekinah Glory of Jehovah God. That Shekinah will first be witnessed by the coalition of Gog and Magog, (Russia, Iran, Turkey, Ethiopia, Libya, etc.) when they march to destroy Israel.

People have been indoctrinated to think if they attend church, if they speak in Christianese, if the read all the books, follow all the “interpreters” they are doing it, they are being a Christian. The most important thing is allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to conquer our sin and the flesh.

morning Pastor Joseph
experienced our first summer rains in South Africa with hail. Praying furiously for lost souls as the clock is ticking. Witchcraft at it’s worst in Africa. People are ravenous for the Word but there is too much mixing of Faith and superstition. There must be a detachment of all traditional/tribal worship or Africa is doomed.
Holy Spirit opened a whole new portal of prayer: The “Bridge Ministry” on a highway travelled by 5000 people an hour five days a week and the response has been amazing! Prayer focus also on Ps.119/vs126 cause the heathen don’t want to listen to us.
God’s richest blessings. See you at the “supper”

I don’t believe any true Christian will miss the rapture.

Harold: His word will not return void even with the heathen Our God is greater than the false gods of the Heathen. Preach the gospel with signs following and many heathen will believe.

I love to see posts about the Day we get to see His Face so this is not at all a knock on this post.
That said, I have done extensive research into the fable of the pre-trib rapture. Many different verses could I give but I would just offer a few.
Joel, Mathew, Mark, Luke and Revelation all speak of the Day of the Lord happening after the moon turns to blood, the sun refuses to shine and the stars fall from the heavens. This is just prior to the Sixth Seal. This is all “Before the coming of the terrible Day of the Lord”. In Mathew 13:30 It says, “Let both grow together until the harvest (in Mathew 13:39 It says, “The harvest is the end of the age”) “And at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers (Angels Matt 13:39) FIRST GATHER THE TARES and bind them together…”. It is at the end of the age before the Great Day of the Lord when He will send out His angels and they will gather His Elect from the four corners of the world.
There is so much more but this is enough to get any pre-trib person to hopefully look into this.
I always say, if I am wrong I will have wasted a few dollars that can help these new trib saints…if you are wrong you are in for a long 7 years. Please prepare brothers!!
Luke 21:36 “Pray ALWAYS that you may be found worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass on the earth and stand before the Son of Man”…This is the last command Jesus gave before the cross. This is not a request it is a command. I truly believe that if one does not heed this command he will have no choice whether or not he has prepared. Human preparations will not get you through but the Hand of God.

No matter what Bro. Chambers teaches, seems everyone still prefers his/her own ideas & thoughts.
I have studied Bible prophecy for nearly 50 years. That does not make me right, but the plans are clearly laid out in the Bible.
BTW, the Tribulation will be a SNARE (a trap) for all those who dwell on the earth!! For ALL those who dwell (live) here. Why will it not be for abiding-in-the-Vine Christians? Because we are caught up to Jesus IN the clouds to follow Him into heaven to forever be with Him, where righteousness dwells…. where we will be dwelling (living). We get there by ESCAPE (Luke 21:36) when we are caught up. Otherwise, we too would be caught in the trap… the hour of temptation that will try the whole world!
Oh and the Lord is coming out to PUNISH those in the Tribulation (Is. 26) ~ thus, we are no where told to “prepare” food for the left behinders! No matter how much we love these people, no matter how kind-hearted we feel towards them; they choose this world over Him and we are to LOVE HIM MORE!!! Remember Lot’s wife. We are to follow Him whole-heartedly and not let anything or anybody we yearn to go with us, keep us from following Him ourselves!
There would be absolutely no sense in rapturing Christians at the end of the Tribulation!! As Jesus and His Saints come back down on white horses. Preposterous to think we’d go up and IMMEDIATELY turn right back around & come back down!
Calling the rapture a “fable” is just asking to be left here. (Luke 12) We’ll leave it to the Lord to rapture whom He chooses, but the more vehemently people fight Him against this, the more I am inclined to believe that one must be WATCHING for Him, “or else” (as His Word says!)
Oh and BTW? The “or else” is the Lord will come upon the world as a THIEF (pls. notice it does not say “kidnapper”) ~ I do not believe He will take anybody screaming and kicking against Him! Nor anybody who does not want to go. And certainly not those who, though they may “believe” in Him, are purposely sinning against Him.
Just why do you think MASSES of people come to the Lord (repentance, washing their robes) during the first half of the Tribulation? It is not because the anti-Christ is killing people off ~ otherwise carnal man would do anything to not be killed… even if taking the mark. Things are bad now but you don’t see thousands or millions turning to the Lord right now. There will have to be something BIG that will put them over the edge.
Rather, the masses (Rev. 7) come to the Lord AFTER the pre-tribulation rapture has already happened & then they begin to experience the hellish horrors we told them about…. well not only “we” but also the 144,000 sealed Jews & the 2 witnesses, et al. The pre-tribulation rapture will be the catalyst to wake up and shake up the world. Oh sure there will be any flavor-of-the day delusions abounding, but for the ones who truly seek The Truth then they will also seek The Way (and call out to JESUS, Who is both!)
We are so on the verge of it happening soon! Just a matter of hearing that trumpet. It could even sound before the years is up! And possibly even before this very day is up. Do not put off following Jesus!
