We are in the end times
Do not be concerned about a Rapture -- it is not going to happen. Instead be concerned that you have your name written in the book of life -- or not. There is not going to be a rapture, the devil has peppered people's minds that they will hang out with Jesus in the clouds for 1,000 years. Many people will state that the Bible has passages that clearly indicate a Rapture; yet there is not one instance or passage in the Bible that indicates when or how Jesus will return people to earth when He reigns for 1,000 years.
Why is this important? Because it will be too easy to become lukewarm and even delusional as the false prophet builds the kingdom of the devil here on earth. When the time comes for the anti christ to exercise his God given authority over Christians they will be flay out surprised as they are being rounded up to chose between the mark or physical death. Those Christians who prepared and filled their lamps with oil will stand a better chance of evading the forces of evil until Jesus arrives.
Be warned -- recognizes the signs now -- and know what to do.

There are several bible references as to there not being a rapture.
Let us take a look at a few.....
1 Corinthians 15:51-52
51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52In 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.
``````````````````````````````````
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15For 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.
16For 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:
17Then 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.
18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
`````````````````````````````````````````````````
People often say that 1 Thess v.17 is proof there is a rapture... a pre-trib rapture in which the church will be removed prior to the tribulation. This is incorrect.
It does not say that.
We who remain until the coming of the Lord Jesus will not be "changed" unless the dead in Christ rise first!
I will be back with a look at more scripture concerning this.
My friend you are absolutely correct. The reason we are 'changed' when we are caught up with Jesus is that no man can see God in our present form. We must be transformed in order to be present before Him. Notice what is mentioned in 1 Corinthians:
"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.
(1Co 15:52)" The dead are raised INCORRUPTIBLE because their flesh has tasted of death. But we (those who survive) need to be changed in order to be in the presence of God. Both 1 Corinthians and 1 Thessalonians mention the trump; the last trump of God.
I hope you can get this message to as many people as possible so they are not surprised when the false prophet begins to round up Christians in the name of God. How many of the elect (if it were possible) would lose faith then?
I read your article at asinner.net titled:
"The future war with Iran"
It is very imformative.
Would it be possible to start something here where questions concerning that article can be addressed?
I think it is a good idea that everyone know about the future ware with Iran. The Whitehouse and the Pentagon are looking at the war as they do all wars. Yet this war will be a pivotal point in America's future (demise). Thanks for the tip. I will start that topic tonight.
