We look at one of the best illustrations in your King James Bible of the Church Age Pretribulation Rapture, and no, Paul didn’t write it! One of the best time-wasting arguments you can have with other Christians is on whether or not the Rapture is a pretribulation or post-tribulation one. I say that this is a time waster, and it surely is, because scripture presents both a pre and post-tribulation catching away of the saints, albeit two different groups of saints. But it doesn’t end there. The first rapture in your King James Bible is in Genesis, kicking off the days of Noah, and the last one is at the end of the time of Jacob’s trouble. “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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (KJB) On this episode of Rightly Dividing, God has seen fit on more than one occasion to catch away or ‘catch up’ those saints in any dispensation that He, for His own reasons, wanted to have Home with Himself. The first saint to experience this was Enoch, and in an amazing coincidence it happened right before the start of the days of Noah in Genesis 5. Enoch is a type picture of the Church Age saint who never dies, and is caught up before the start of the 7-year Tribulation period. On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we look at all the raptures in the Bible including what in my opinion is the best illustration of the Church Age rapture, and no, Paul didn’t write it!

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, as we watch the Mark of the Beast System being assembled before our very eyes, while still in the Church Age mind you, we would do well to look a little deeper into the Mark of the Beast, and learn a little bit about the name, image and number of the Beast as well. The Antichrist, the main Beast though not the only beast, is part of a trinity which includes the Dragon and the False Prophet. When you remember that this 7-year kingdom is a counterfeit, things start falling into place. In Part 4 of our series on the Mark of the Beast, we focus tonight on the Mark of the Beast itself, how it will control the world financial system, and every one who attempts to access it. The Mark of the Beast will be the ultimate Social Credit Score.

Looking at Multiple Instances in Scripture When Heaven Opens; and Looking for the Rapture of the Church (Our Blessed Hope) and Ahead to the Return of the Lord Jesus, Coming This Time, in Power to Punish Spiritual Beings: to Judge and to Make War.

Understanding the Recent Hebrew Roots Movement Which Urges a Return to First Century Judaism. They Forget That the Blessings of Abraham Are Come Through the Promise, and the Law ("Added Later Because of Transgressions") Did Not Come Until Moses - 500 years later. In the Least, the HRM Takes Total Focus From Jesus Christ (Who is Our Passover, Our All-in-All). In Greater Portions, It Inserts Weak and Beggarly Elements That Debase the Simplicity of the Gospel of the Grace of God, Even As First-Century Judaizers Sought to Do.
