“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live with sound mind, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify a people for His own possession, zealous unto good works.” Titus 2:11-14 There has been much debate regarding the Rapture, which could be better termed His Glorious Appearing. There are even many pastors who sit on the fence, not knowing whether or not His Glorious Appearing is pre-tribulation or post-tribulation. Yet the Bible is quite clear and common sense should prevail that the Rapture will happen prior to the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7), better known as the Tribulation. The purpose in this chapter is not to just provide the evidence of the pre-trib Rapture being a sound doctrine, but also to provide needed information for those souls who will read such things, after having been Left Behind. For those whom God allows to be deluded by the Strong Delusion, what can be done? There opportunity for Salvation is prior to the Rapture and if they are those whom God is allowing to believe the lie (2 Thes. 2:11), after the Rapture, then their fate is sealed (Rev. 20:15). Consider the following verses: “And none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.” Daniel 12:10b “At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank You, Father,...

“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He is now restraining, until it is raised from out of the midst. And then the lawless one will be unveiled, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2nd Thessalonians 2:7-12 There is much writing that has been done over the years regarding the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7), known better by many as the Tribulation or the Great Tribulation. In fact the Bible talks about this being a time of great affliction. “For then there will be great affliction, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:21 “And I said to him, Sir, you know. So he said to me, These are the ones coming out of great affliction, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” Revelation 7:14 “And at that time, Michael shall stand up, the great ruler who stands for the sons of your people. And there shall be a...

“For He says: In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2nd Corinthians 6:2 “And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk decently, as in the day, not in carousings and drunkenness, not in cohabitation and licentiousness, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.” Romans 13:11-14 The other day I had to travel across the state to take a required training class. On my way there was a church with a sign that included ‘hurry up’. Indeed! How much longer do we have as a society, before Jesus appears? How much longer do you have? “But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you sorrow not as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. ...

“By the Word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea like a heap, and designates the depths in storehouses. Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. Jehovah brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He restrains and frustrates the devices of the people. The counsel of Jehovah stands forever, the thoughts of His heart from generation to generation. Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah; the people He has chosen for His possession. Jehovah looks down from Heaven; He watches all the sons of mankind.” Psalms 33:6-13 There was an incident that occurred in Montana, where an employed man of a fast food joint groped the back half of a young boy in the restroom. While the situation could have been worse, the police were called and he was arrested. They found a very inappropriate drawing in his possession and his mugshot appeared in the local news. While justice is being served and indeed it should be, the facial express on the man’s face is one of pure horror. He’s been caught, he is going to pay the penalty for his crime. Apparently he lost all self control and being enslaved by sin, a servant of the devil, he was caught amidst the maddening deed. Horror having engulfed him, he now is aware that his sin has caught him, justice awaits. …“you...

“But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and did not realize until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two will be in the field: one is taken and the other is left. Two will be grinding at the mill: one is taken and the other is left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord comes. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be dug through. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man comes at an hour you do not expect. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made administrator over his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Truly, I say to you that he will appoint him as administrator over all his possessions. But if that wicked servant says in his heart, My master delays his coming, and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not expecting him and in an hour he does not know, and will cut him...
