Rapture Bound Outreach

Jesus told His disciples in John 16:12, “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now”. In other words, Jesus had given them a basic outline concerning His plan of salvation, but had not gone into details. He knew that they were unable to comprehend them at that point in time.

It is vital that we apply this principle to the arena of end times prophecy. The Word of God will often seemingly contradict itself unless we have a firm grasp of the context in which any verse or portion of Scripture is “couched in”.

For example, we are told in Acts 1:7 “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power”. Many mistakenly claim this verse as a prooftext to essentially claim, “it is useless to study the signs pertaining to Christ’s return, we cannot possibly know where we are on God’s prophetic timeline”. Simply put, it is a cop-out, do not allow them to derail you from believing the truth! – the Lord will illuminate those who seek this revelation (Hebrews 11:6).

You see, it becomes an impossible task for the scoffers to harmonize their claim with the truth pronounced in 1 Thess.5:1-11.. vs.1-3, “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write to you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction shall come upon them”… vs.4 -But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day shall overtake you as a thief”. Do not overlook the sharp contrast between the discerning and non-discerning groups. Compare verse 3, “For when THEY shall say, with verse 4, “But YE”.

In Acts 1:6, the disciples asked Jesus if He was going to”restore the Kingdom of Israel”. But just as in John 16:12, Jesus essentially ignored their question realizing that they were not ready to recieve His answer at that juncture in time. Jesus simply brought them back again to what was His main agenda for them at that point in the Father’s prophetic plan (2000 yrs.plus ago) ….. being witnesses into all the world and a testimony to all nations (Acts 1:8).

Apparently, the followers of Christ at His first coming, as well as those throughout the ages possesed a very “foggy” understanding of the final events of the age before Christs return to the earth at the end of the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble” (Jer.30:7), a.k.a. – the “Great Tribulation” (Matt.24:15).

The prophet Daniel addressed this very issue in Dan.12:4,”But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. “By all accounts, this end times Divine revelation was “unsealed” and reserved for the last generation prior to Christ’s return (Matt.24:34). After all, it is only those who are alive from that group comprised of all nations, who will actually experience the epic events that comprise the Second Coming of Christ.

As end times followers of Christ, we may not be able to pinpoint the exact timing of the Rapture, but we should know the season by the Biblical signs. Instead of chasing after exact Rapture dates, it is my firm belief that we should step back and discern this season through a wider or panoramic perspective. And most importantly, we should be preparing ourselves spiritually through prayer, Bible reading, and an earnest desire and willingness to walk in God’s will for our lives. Let us all take heed to the intensely sobering words of Luke 21:36: “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”

If you are a church-attending follower of Jesus Christ, you are probably aware of the lack of, and superficial nature of the teaching of end times Bible prophecy. My desire is to provide a platform in which people can meet face to face, discuss various end times topics, and encourage one another as we await our “catching away” or ‘Rapture” out of this fallen world [1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; Revelation 3:10].

It was back in 1983 that the Lord Jesus Christ delivered me out of the “matrix” of this present evil world system [2 Corinthians 4:3-4]. My eyes were truly opened for the first time as I came to the realization that no amount of my own “goodness” could ever merit right-standing before God [Romans 4:1-8]. It was only after trusting that Jesus paid for my sins personally on the cross that I received the assurance that all my sins were forgiven, and therefore would one day enter the New Jerusalem [Heaven] … [Romans 3:24-25; Hebrews 10:14; 1 John 5:13; Revelation 21:2].

This assurance is not a “pipe dream”, it’s not “too good to be true”… it is real, it’s God’s promise for all who would truly place their trust in Christ’s atoning work on their behalf [and none of their own] for their salvation … Praise His Wonderful Name!! Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Romans 8:16, “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:”

The topic of Bible prophecy was very instrumental in my becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. It was a very popular book on prophecy written by Hal Lindsey entitled “The Late Great Planet Earth” that awoken me to the fact that the fulfillment of Bible prophecy provided compelling and overwhelming evidence for the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. Please do not underestimate the immense value of studying the Bible’s prophetic element.

All the prophecies concerning the First Coming of Christ were fulfilled to the very letter. This fact gives me the utmost confidence that all that has been written with regard to His Second Coming will indeed come to pass! According to “The Encyclopedia of Biblical Prophecy” by J. Barton Payne, there are 1,239 prophecies in the Old the Old Testament and 578 prophecies in the New Testament for a total of 1,817. These prophecies are contained in 8,352 of the Bible’s verses. Since there are 31,124 verses verses in the Bible, the 8352 verses that contain prophecy constitute 26.8 percent of the Bible’s volume.

Many Pastors avoid the topic of end times Bible prophecy for various reasons – lack of knowledge, fear of looking like the lunatic fringe, fear of offending their members, or perhaps fear of losing their 501(c)(3) IRS church status. Please do not misunderstand me, I say this not to disrespect or devalue in any way the role of God-given leadership, but instead to address “the elephant in the room ” – the lateness of the hour in which we are living. It’s simply too late to “play church ” my friends, God wants to use each and every one of us to put out the final warnings.

Here at my Outreach Center, the pressing issues of the day that are related to that “elephant in the room” are addressed head-on, topics such as : The Coronavirus Plandemic; The New World Order [Great Reset]; the R.F.I.D./Mark of the Beast [666]; the Anti-Christ [son of perdition]; The Great Sign of the Woman [Revelation 12:1-2]; the 2014-15 Blood Moon Tetrad; The Great Pyramid of Giza; and The Great American Solar Eclipse. Hope to hear from you soon!
