In Case of Rapture

YOU HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND

(Taken from raptureready.com

If you are reading this letter, chances are that you were trying to find us after millions of people have disappeared. This has been left behind in the hope that whoever finds it may know what has happened. I really hope that if this is any of my family members, you will repent and turn to GOD right now. This letter may seem harsh, but it is written with love. You may or may not have any religious background, but now is probably a good time to catch up. Jude 1:21-23 says; "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference,and others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."

I think it is safe to say that all bets are off now and that those left behind need to be pulled from the fire of God's coming wrath.

I will say right away, that whatever the media or world leaders are saying, most likely it does not point to the awesome power of the one true GOD of heaven and earth. Make no mistake friend; this was the long awaited "RAPTURE" of the true church of Jesus Christ. Look around for a moment. Everyone missing was a true Christian. Not a churchgoer or just a good person, but only those who believed in Jesus Christ and His blood alone being the atonement for our sins. I Corinthians 15:51-53 states; "Behold, I show 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." Again, I Thessalonians 4:14-17 says; "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

There are many other scriptures related to the events that have occurred, but most importantly, there are quite a few that you need to know about what is going to happen now. My intention here is to give you a briefing on just that. Of course, there is no way that I could know exactly what the impact has been on the earth since our disappearance, but I can say that there is probably great fear among all those left behind.

There has always been a debate over the Rapture being true doctrine. The debate is now over. Be especially alert to the fact that the religious leaders and possibly the televangelists may be saying that only the carnal Christians were taken to be judged. This is NOT true! You may be told that aliens took us... this is NOT true!

You may even hear that mankind has made some type of evolutionary leap or you have all been changed to gods.... This is absolutely NOT true. There is still only one true GOD!

The New Age movement people may be saying that "the christ" is coming, or has come. They may say that all those that believed in just one god, were taken to the karma plain by the 'ascended masters' for re-education. This is also NOT true!

NOTE: THE 'CHRIST' THAT THEY REFER TO IS NOT JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, BUT A CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS OR EMBODIMENT OF SOMEONE.

If this is way off, forgive me. These were just some of the lies being told by Satan in the world before the Rapture and I can only guess that one or maybe even all of them are being propagated right now. You must know that the deception being unleashed on the world now has been foretold in the Bible over thousands of years ago. II Thessalonians 2: 6-12 states; "And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

The Church, the salt of the earth, the restraining of sin by the Holy Spirit, has been removed for the plan of GOD to come to completion and the righteous judgment on all of mankind. Satan will now be able to make his last stand against GOD and his last attempt to draw as many into worship of himself (and into hell with him) as he can. A leader will rise up among you as foretold in the books of Daniel and Revelation as well as other areas of the Bible. He will seem to have all the answers to the world's problems and he will speak great things. The Bible calls him the Antichrist or the wicked one, the son of perdition, etc..... The main idea is that if you see someone rising up to power like this, do not follow him. He will be standing for peace and harmony and may solve the conflicts around the world in an effort to band together humanity. He will take a special interest in the Nation of Israel and bring peace to the Middle East.

The book of Daniel foretold that this time would come well over 2500 years ago. Daniel 9: 24-27 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troubled times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."

The 70 weeks that are referred to are known as the "seventy seven's". A week is defined as one seven year period. That would make 490 years total until the end of the world. Obviously 490 years passed without an end. Here is the reason why. Jesus Christ, the Messiah, came into Jerusalem riding a donkey exactly 483 years from the command to rebuild Nehemiah's Temple. Then he was crucified and buried. After three days, He rose again and ascended into heaven. He came and shed His blood for the sins of the world and promised that He would return one day for all those who accepted His free gift of salvation.

Now that only covers 483 years of the prophecy. What happened to the last 7 years or the "seventieth week"? You see, GOD's prophetic timeclock, if you will, stopped when Jesus entered into Jerusalem and it had been widely known that it would start again after the Rapture of the Bride of Christ. Jesus prophesied that the temple in Jerusalem would be destroyed after He left. This happened in 70 A.D. by the Romans. Daniel was prophesied to that "the people of the prince to come" would destroy the temple. The prince to come is the Antichrist. It was widely held that he would rise out of the European Union (the revived Roman Empire) or maybe the UN, but you will have to be alert now to where he is actually coming from. Be especially attentive to the One World Religious system that is being "put together for the good of mankind". Revelation 17 and 18 will illuminate this prophecy for you. The Antichrist will most likely be lifted up by the religious system of the day, thereby making him look holy or pure.

Daniel 8: 23 describe him as "A king of fierce countenance" and say that "he shall understand dark sentences" (meaning mysteries of the occult). Read verses 23-25 very closely. At any rate, he will make a 7 year peace covenant with Israel and after 3 and a half years he will break it. Revelation 13 depicts him as a great beast rising out of the sea (an idiom for the world), then he will be wounded in the head or possibly killed. He will seemingly be 'resurrected' and the world will marvel after him. Then he will proclaim himself to be GOD and demand that he be worshipped by all the people of the world. This will occur in the rebuilt temple of Israel.

You see, Satan ultimately wants to destroy the Jews, God's chosen people, and then the Christians. We believed that Satan would actually indwell him at that point, only you will know now. No Jew or Christian will bow down to him and that will begin a period of horror on the earth that has never been before. Read Matthew 24, Luke 21, Revelation specifically 6, 12, 13, for more on this. The last 3 and a half years of his reign will be pure terror. Hitler was a great guy compared to what this man will do. He will require some kind of mark on the forehead or right hand in order to buy or sell. Really, this will just be a sign of allegiance to him.

Revelation 20: 4 states; "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and 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.

Unfortunately, you will have to make a choice between GOD and Satan. If you take the Mark of the Beast, you will be damned forever. Many of you will be murdered by his followers, because you stand for Jesus Christ. Revelation 7: 13-14 says; "And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." You will, in effect, be the ones who come to salvation out of the tribulation period.

Now I don't want to get real cosmic or anything, but as I said before, only you know what is happening on the earth now. There may be mass UFO sightings or landings. The media and the government did an excellent job of desensitizing the public over the years. One of the prevailing views before the rapture, was that UFO's and aliens would probably be "the great lie" spoken of in II Thessalonions. My point is, don't believe anything that is being fed to the world through the media or the government. Cling to Jesus Christ and his saving work of atonement on the cross for your sins. Romans 10:13 says; "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Call upon his name now, you may not have another chance!

You need to find other people who now believe in Jesus Christ. Study the Bible, learn everything you can about what is coming to come on the earth. GOD is about to judge the earth and purge the sin from it.

We have gone to the Wedding Feast spoken of in Revelation 19. We will come back with Jesus when he sets up His Kingdom and reign with him for a thousand years. If you never believed any of this before, my prayer is that now you will.

This is a rather long passage but it needs to be put forth. Luke 12: 35-48 states the following; "Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find [them] so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom [his] lord shall make ruler over his household, to give [them their] portion of meat in due season?

Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not [himself], neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes]. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."

Let the Holy Spirit speak to you about this passage. I believe that if you are still here, He is doing just that. Prepare to open up the door immediately to Jesus when He returns from the wedding feast with all His saints.

There is no way that I could cover everything that is going to happen. You will have to seek GOD and read the Bible for your instructions concerning this period in which you are entering. I hope this letter is a fire that burns throughout the land now. Make copies and get them to everyone you can. All of us are with the Father and we pray that you will join us. May the Holy Spirit come in power and save the perishing during these final hours of human history.

"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty."
