Pre-Trib Rapture of the Church

Paul preached the same faith he previously destroyed- Gal.1:23, Ac.6:7, 8:1-3, 15:2, 16:5, 20:21 Which is what the Old Testament taught- Rom.16:25-6, Ac.26:19-21, 22-3, Lk.24:44-5 The 12 Jewish apostles were commissioned to preach Jesus' words to Gentiles- Mk.16:15-6, Mt.28:19-20

(Jn.14:12,28, 16:5,7,10,16-17,17:11,13) The Father’s house was the temple. (Jn.2:14-8, Dan.5:3, Psa.27:4, Zech.8:9) But the earthly temple was a pattern of the true. “It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us”. (Heb.9:23-4) Christ is the high priest over the house of God which is in heaven. (Heb.10:21) No man cometh unto the Father in the holiest except through the veil, that is to say, the flesh of Christ who is the living way. (Heb.10:19-21, Jn.14:6) “The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven”. (Psa.11:4) John saw “the temple of God was opened in heaven”. (Rev.11:19) He saw an “angel came out of the temple which is in heaven”, heard “a great voice out of the temple of heaven” (Rv.14:17, 16:17) and when “the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:” he saw “seven angels came out of the temple” (Rev.15:5-6) Isaiah “saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.” (Isa.6:1) Moses said “Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven” (Dt.26:15) which would be “the third heaven”. (2 Cor.12:2)

They will inherit their promised land- Luke 1:67-75, Amos 9:14-5, Jud.2:1, Ezek.20:42, 36:25-29, 37:14, 22, Jos.1:3-4, Deut.1:7-8, 11:23-25, Gen.50:24, Ex.6:8, 32:13, Gen.12:1, 13:14-17, 15:18, 17:4-7. The promises and covenants are to Israel the nation. They are the descendants of Abraham Isaac & Jacob, according to the flesh and were given promises that they have yet to receive by faith; and still to “whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises”. (Rom.9:4) They did not receive the righteousness of God by faith in Christ (Rom.10:3-4, Phil.3:9) and the New Covenant was not established with the whole house (Ezek.39:25-9), “with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah” yet. It will need to be. (Rom.11:26-7, Heb.8:8,13, Jer.31:31-6, 32:37-40, Mt.26:28, Ezek.36:24-28) Rather it was established with Gentiles and a small remnant of Jews in the non-nationalistic body of Christ, the church. (Eph.2:11-19, Rom.11:1-5, Gal.3:28, Col.3:11) But all Israel (without distinction not without exception- ) shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob, for touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. (Rom.11:25-9) Therefore, the church did not replace national Israel the seed of Abraham according to the flesh. The adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises still pertain to them. They will be saved and restored to their land. Even though now concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes, they will be grafted into Christ by faith during the time of Jacobs trouble. (Jer. 30:7, Deut.4:30) https://rumble.com/v6r7o2s-the-remnant-is-not-the-whole-house-of-israel.html?e9s=src_v1_upp_pl%2Csrc_v1_pl&playlist_id=VHmboO8mpEw https://rumble.com/v5ta35n-the-church-and-israel-the-reason-you-do-not-understand-the-pre-trib-rapture.html?e9s=src_v1_upp_pl%2Csrc_v1_pl&playlist_id=VHmboO8mpEw

Israel, the nation of descendants of Abraham Isaac & Jacob, according to the flesh were given promises that they have yet to receive by faith; and still to “whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises”. (Rom.9:4) They did not receive the righteousness of God by faith in Christ (Rom.10:3-4, Phil.3:9) and the New Covenant was not established with the whole house (Ezek.39:25-9), “with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah” yet.

The church began to be built by Jesus (Mt.16:18) by the revelation of who Christ is (Mt.16:16-7, 1 Jn.4:2, Jn.8:24). This was after his appearing in the flesh. (Rom.16:25) Christ is the chief cornerstone (1 Cor.3:11, 1 Pt.2:4-8) with the apostles, prophets and teachers as the foundation (Ac.2:41-7, 1 Cor.12:28, Eph.2:20, 4:11-3). It is perpetuated by the ministry of the word of the gospel (Mt.28:19-20, Lk.24:46-7, Ac.2:41-7) since the church has the keys to kingdom of heaven (Mt.16:19, 18:17-20,1 Tim.3:15) and edifies and perpetuates itself (Eph.4:16). The church is the city/bride (Eph.5:28-32, Rv.21:2). The church is a mystery body (Eph.3:3-6, 5:32, Col.1:26-7, 1 Tim.3:16) which contains Jews & Gentiles made equal in standing (no genealogical significance) regarding covenants and promises (1 Cor.12:13, Col.3:11, Gal.3:27-8, Eph.2:14-15, Ac.15:8-11) until the fulness of the Gentiles are saved (Rom.11:11,25,28,30). It is not nor does it contain the nation of Israel who independently have a standing with God based on the fathers (Rom.11:25-31). The church embodies grace and prudence or wisdom not contained in the salvation of the physical descendants of Abraham; i.e. Israel (Eph.3:6,21, 1:6-13, 2:11-19, Rom.11:30-3). After the Gentiles are fully come in the nation of Israel finish their prophecies (Rom.11:25-7, Dan.9:24). The remnant (Rom.9:27, 11:5, 7) of the whole house of Israel cannot be the whole house of Israel (Ezek.37:11, 39:25-9). The remnant of Israel is in the body of Christ which is mostly Gentile. (Rom.11) This mystery of the Jews being cut off for an unknown and unspecified time (enter an imminent rapture) is for the Gentile gathering into the church which is the body of Christ (1 Cor.2:7, Eph.5:32, Col.1:26-7). The disciples did not know this during Christ's ministry, (Jn.16:12-3) Then Israel shall be saved and delivered according to Daniels prophecy as the final week of years concerning thy people and upon thy holy city. This will be an end of sin for Israel and Jerusalem and a finish to their transgression to reconcile them for their iniquity. Notice that it is not a general reconciliation made at the cross (after 69 weeks) but the particular application of his sacrifice upon the people of Israel (after 70 weeks). Christ has made reconciliation (Rom.5:10); it is our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement (v11). Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? (Rom.11:12) If the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? (Rom.11:15) The fulness (bringing in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy) and resurrection of the dead is connected with their conversion at the last (Dan.12:1-3, Jn.11:24, 6:39-40, 44, 54) after the time of Jacobs trouble (Jer.30:7, Deut.4:30) and the final 70th week. The disciples did not understand these mysteries initially. Lk.18:31-4…And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. Lk.9:44-5, Mk.9:9-10, Jn.20:9, Mt.16:21-2 They will inherit their promised land- Luke 1:67-75, Jud.2:1, Ezek.20:42, 36:25-29, 37:14, 22, Jos.1:3-4, Deut.1:7-8, 11:23-25, Gen.50:24, Ex.6:8, 32:13, Gen.12:1, 13:14-17, 15:18, 17:4-7.

So, “what witholdeth”(v6) is “he who now letteth... until he be taken out of the way”. (v7) He is restraining the mystery of iniquity which emerged cancerously after the mystery of godliness as a contradiction to it. (1 Tim.3:16) The preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery (Rom.16:25) centers on the fact that God was manifest in the flesh in Christ. (Col.1:19,2:9) The mystery of iniquity thus denies that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh and is antichrist. (1 Jn.4:1-4) The mystery of godliness we are stewards of (1 Cor.4:1) as we oppose the mystery of iniquity. The “mystery of iniquity doth already work” which is “that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world”. (2 Thess.2:7, 1 Jn.4:3) This spirit of antichrist and the depths of Satan (Rev.2:24) are seen fully developed in falling away from the faith. (1 Jn.2:18-9) This lower degree of apostasy already working will increase in intensity in the latter times. (1 Tim.4:1) And will become a large-scale apostasy when he who witholdeth is taken out of the way. Then the “many antichrists” make way for the antichrist who shall come. The restrainer is holding back the apostasy from the faith that Christ is come in the flesh, withholding the mystery of iniquity, and therefore the man of sin being revealed until the restrainer is taken out of the way. This restrainer would not be any governments as Christ’s kingdom is not of this world and thus not ordained to advance the preaching of Christ, but this whole world lieth in wickedness. (Jn.18:36, 1 Jn.5:19) They will become his in that day (Rev.11:15), but right now they are under the power of Satan (Lk.4:5-7) as God permits. Neither can it be understood that this restrainer is Michael the Archangel (Dan.10:13,21,12:1, Jd.1:9, Rv.12:7), for the selfsame reasons that he is not opposing the doctrines of the world denying Christ in the mystery of the gospel (Eph.6:19, Rom.16:25) “which things the angels desire to look into”. (1 Pt.1:12)

Resurrected and taken up to heaven: John 14:2-3, Col.3:1-4, 1 Thess. 4:16-17,1 Cor. 15:51-52, Phil. 3:20-21 Resurrected and stay on earth: Job 19:25-26, Ezekiel 37:12, Rev. 20:6, 5:10, Luke 1:33 Gathered on the earth: Matthew 24:31,25:32, Isaiah 27:13, 60:49, 66:20, 11:16, 35:8-9, Ezekiel 34:13, 20:34-8, 39:28-29 All the church resurrected and changed (thus do not marry and bear children): Luke 20:34-6,1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, Philippians 3:20-21, 2 Corinthians 5:4-5 Jews who never die but endure to the end multiply in the land of Israel: Isaiah 59:21, 60:22, 65:23, Jeremiah 3:16, 23:3, 30:19-20, 32:38-40, Ezekiel 36:10-11, 37:25-26, Zechariah 8:3-6 Firstfruits: Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: (Lev.23:10) And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end. (Ex.34:22) Harvest: (of weeks- 7 weeks of harvesting) And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. (Ex.23:16) Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn. And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the Lord thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the Lord thy God, according as the Lord thy God hath blessed thee: (Deut.16:9-10) see Matt. 9:37-38, Lk.10:2, Jn. 4:35 Gleanings: And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. (Lev.19:9) And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God. (Lev.23:22) When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands. (Dt.24:19)

These scriptures help distinguish the pre trib rapture with the post trib return (the church and Israel). The end is at hand- 1 Pt.4:7, 2 Pt.3:10, Rev.1:1,3, 1 Thess.5:1-3 The end is not at hand- Mt.24:6, Mk.13:7, Lk.21:9 We are to look up for Christ after the tribulation- Lk.21:28, Mt.24:29-30, Mk.13:26,2 Th.2:2-3 We are looking up for Christ now- Phil.3:20, Tit.2:13, Mk.13:36-7 The Lord is at the door after the tribulation- Mk.13:29, Mt.24:33 The Lord is at the door now- Jam.5:8-9, Phil.4:5 Be desiring the day of the Lord- Rv.22:20, 2 Pt.3:12, 2 Tim.4:8 Don't be desiring that day- Am.5:18, 2 Thes.2:2, Mt.24:19, Jer.17:16 All things continue as from the beginning- 2 Pt.3:4, Mt.24:37-8, Lk.17:26-8, 21:34 Tribulation as never was from the beginning- Mt.24:21, Dan.12:1, Jer.30:7, Mk.13:19, Lk.21:25-6 In this same line of reasoning the Millennial Day of the Lord and the post trib Day of Christ are distinct: “That day” (millennial day) will include “all these things that shall come to pass”, which means the beginning of sorrows or the things that “must first come to pass”. (Lk.21:9, Mt.24:6-8, Mk.13:7-9) “That day” also includes the rest of “all these things” listed in the sermon. (Mt.24:33-4, Mk.13:30,32-3, Lk.21:36) And 2 Peter 3:7-14 reveals that this day of the Lord which will so come as a thief in the night will include not just the last week of Daniel’s prophecy (that day- Zech 12:3-4,8,9,11,13:1-2,14:3-4,8-9), but that day is as a thousand years including heaven and earth passing away a thousand years later. Likewise, the resurrection of the just and the unjust are separated by 1000 years but are spoken of as occurring "in the last day". (Rev.20:4,5:11-12, Jn.6:39-40, 44, 54, 11:24, 12:48, 5:28-9)

The Day is at Hand- This must therefore be imminent: (at hand means imminent Matt.26:45-7 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. Mark 14:42-3 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand. And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas...) Romans 13:11-12 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. James 5:8-9 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. (Note that ‘before the door’ is a phrase indicating imminence as here in Mt.24:33- So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Also see Mk.13:29.) 1 Pet.4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. Behold, I come quickly, suddenly, shortly. (Mk.13:36, Rev.1:1,3,2:5,16,3:3,11,16:15,22:6,7,10,12,20) Mark 13:32-37 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. Luke 12:37 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. v40-41 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? v46 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. The admonition to watch is to watch for Christ himself to appear. (Mt.24:42-3, 50, 25:13, Mk.13:33-7, Lk.12:37-48, 21:36, Phil.3:20, 1 Thes.5:6, Tit.2:13, 1 Pt.4:7, 2 Pt.3:12, 1 Jn.2:28, Rv.3:3, 16:15)

Christ’s Coming for the Church at the Pretribulation Rapture. Jn.14:1-3 matches 1 Thes.4:13-18. And the plain reading of John 14 is Christ will come again (descend from heaven) receive us (alive and remain) unto himself (caught up) and go to the Father where he prepared a place for us (ever be with the Lord). Let not your heart be troubled (comfort one another with these words). Lest anyone should try and drag Jesus' words into obscurity, Jesus was very clear where he was going- to the Father in heaven. (Jn.14:12,28, 16:5,7,10,16-17,17:11,13) The Father’s house was the temple. (Jn.2:14-8, Dan.5:3, Psa.27:4, Zech.8:9) But the earthly temple was a pattern of the true. (Heb.9:23-4, 10:21) “The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven”. (Psa.11:4) John saw “the temple of God was opened in heaven”. (Rev.11:19) He saw an “angel came out of the temple which is in heaven”, heard “a great voice out of the temple of heaven” (Rv.14:17, 16:17) and when “the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:” he saw “seven angels came out of the temple” (Rev.15:5-6) Isaiah “saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.” (Isa.6:1) Moses said “Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven” (Dt.26:15) which would be “the third heaven”. (2 Cor.12:2) This is not the New Jerusalem either in which there is no temple. (Rev.21:22)
