Rapture-Believing Deceivers Getting Clever

As I was browsing around on the internet this morning, I found a website called “Now The End Begins”.  I wasn’t surprised when after just a few minutes of reading, I discovered that the author of this website is preaching the rapture.  Everyone seems to be doing that these days.  However, something was different about this website than the other ridiculous websites I have been writing about lately — This one actually attempted to be “Bible-Based”.

Nonetheless, it is still nonsense.  Read an excerpt:

“When you understand that the Church has to be taken out of the way before God can start the last week of Daniel’s prophecy,
everything starts to make sense. Else, how could the Antichrist rise to power and fool everyone if the world is filled with bible-
believing Jesus followers? It couldn’t happen. But if you imagine the utter devastation that would be caused by removing all
bible-believers at the same time, you can clearly see that in the ensuing chaos it would create the perfect time and space for
a great deceiver to rise and fool the people as to the true nature of what happened, and explain away the Rapture. Remember
that from the moment that God raptures out the church, there will not be one bible believer left on the face of the earth. Not
a single one. It’s at this point that God starts the timeclock again, raises up 144,000 Jews in Israel to take the Gospel around the
world one more time, and in perfect poetic harmony the bible ends where it began – with the Jews in Israel. The Pre-Tribulation
Rapture is the only one of the three positions that allows for this to happen. In a Mid-Trib situation, the church is still on the
earth, and therefore the Antichrist cannot rise, and if he did he wouldn’t fool anyone. The Left Behind book series sold nearly
70,000,000 copies, and at a minimum that is far too many people left on the earth for the Antichrist to fool. Besides, the
prophecies call for a 7 year Tribulation, not a 3.5 year Tribulation.”

Now, while this is a nice thought and everything, it makes no sense.  This “Rapture Game” is seriously beginning to turn into a free-for-all.  As if the original concept wasn’t goofy enough…

“Believers will be taken away from the earth before the great tribulation sets in.  Those left on earth will then be sure that Jesus Christ does exist, and that the gospel is true, however, salvation is no longer possible.”

This website takes it to a whole new level, suggesting that the non-believers on this earth are completely ignorant, and will not even notice that their believing are gone, and therefore will not even consider that the gospel their friends believed in MIGHT be true.  In other word, this is the breakdown of the theory found on this new website:

“The church (believers) must be gone in order for the anti-christ to rule and deceive.  Somehow, even though believers and nonbelievers are often friends, the nonbelievers won’t notice at all when their believing-friends are gone, nor will they consider the possible truth of the gospel their friends believed in.  The anti-christ will be free to deceive now, still without question from the nonbelievers.”

This is nonsense.  Don’t you think the nonbelievers would start to wonder, and become freaked out, and reluctant to trust anyone, let alone someone who is chopping the heads off of animals daily, claiming he is Christ, and then flips the script on everyone halfway through the year and starts bullying everyone?  I don’t.  While the bible certainly indicates that nonbelievers will not enter the kingdom of heaven, I do not believe they are that stupid.

And besides, if we actually look at the Bible rather than sitting in front of the computer and coming up with paranoid, secular stories about how “Barack Obama and Henry Kissinger are the leaders of the New World Order, and how they planned Y2K to distract people from 9/11/01, and will break out of holes in the ground and kill everyone on December 20, 2011” (Notice how none of these things have anything to do with biblical prophecy – or the Bible at all) we see that in Matthew 24:24

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect”

Now HOLD ON A MINUTE!  What’s going on here?! “The very elect”?  But…  But…  They’re the guys that are supposed to get raptured?!?!?!?!

Sorry to burst your bubbles, but the Bible, in fact, JESUS HIMSELF just shot the ridiculous rapture theory down – again.  Oh.  And you might want to know, that when it hit the ground, the other apostles and even old testament prophets set fire to it.  Guess you could say it crashed and burned.  Not much of a fly-away situation.  Sorry.

On a side note, I would like to include some other facts that disprove the “rapturists”.

• Barack Obama is not the anti-christ.  His approval ratings would be much, much higher if he were.
• One verse “Rapturists” always forget is Matthew 24:24, which not only mentions false prophets (rapturists) but also disproves the whole theory of the rapture as well.  We all will be here for the tribulation.  We will all be tried, we will all suffer, and they will attempt to deceive us all.  We will suffer as Christ did as He was nailed to the cross, but we will also have glory when the suffering ends, just as He did.
• Henry Kissinger is not a member of an elite group of anything.  With all due respect to Mr. Kissinger, he’s to old for that sort of thing.
• The New World Order – if it even exists (Note that it is not mentioned either in the texts) would not need to be secretive.  They would be so powerful and dynamic that they could do all their dirty work right out in the open and would not be brought down by anyone – except for Christ and God of course.
• The Illuminati is secular, and giving them any credit whatsoever is secular as well.  No such thing is mentioned in the Bible.  If they were real, they could operate in the open just as the NWO.

God Bless
