I just received an email from a pre-tribulation person that titled his article, "What to do if you are left Behind; After the Rapture"

First of all, II Thess 4:16-17 tells me that" The Dead will rise first and then the living will be changed to meet the Lord in the air." (paraphrased) so I know right off the bat, that the Resurrection must happen first and then I will be changed in a Rapture to meet the Lord....that is if I am alive at the time.

Second of all, I know that I am part of the complete ecclesia, which is the Body of Yeshua, which is made up of the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel that He came to seek and save and all of the Gentiles that are grafted into the Root, which is Yeshua. the Christ. These do not include the Jews who still have their blinders on but who will call out to the Lord for help & then He will return to them. I do not know what the pre-tribbers do with the scriptures that speak of the Wild Olive Branch (gentiles) who will be grafted in, along with the Natural Branch (Israel) into the Root of Yeshua, which is the Root of the Olive Tree. You cannot say that the Jews are the wild ones since they, are of the same natural branch as the House of Israel, which will also be grafted into the Root of their Messiah.

Third of all, that means there is no separate Dispensation for a Gentile Church so that The Father can deal with those Jews of the Southern Kingdom.

Fourth of all, I know that those in the scripture of Matthew 24 that speaks of one is taken and one is left is speaking of those that are taken in the Grape Harvest, which includes those that will be put in the Wine-Press of the Wrath of God. That leads to what Esdras has to say:


For Fair Use Discussion and Educational Purpose

Over and over again, we hear pastors and others taught in our seminaries telling that the 14 Books of the Apocrypha were taken out of the present versions of the Bible because they were not considered canonical How about the truth!

These writings were part of the bible for thousands of years. They were removed by those that did not want it to be known what these books were telling. Men, within the Vatican, soon realized that if the common people ever knew what was being told, the game of deceit would be over.

In the 12th chapter of Esdras, it tells how Esdras was always questioning God about why the evil was taking place, why, why, why? Esrdras said, "Shew me the interpretation of this dream for as I conceived in mine understanind woe unto those that shall be left behind in those days and much worse unto them that are not left behind." Esdras 13: verse 15 - 16. Notice that he is speaking of "The Left Behind" in those days and then it tells that IT WILL BE MUCH WORSE UNTO THEM THAT ARE NOT LEFT BEHIND?

What could that possible mean. Aren't the Left Behind books telling us the opposite? Esdras tells of the terrible Tribulation that will take place for those that are not Left Behind.

Those that are Left Behind are those that have much peril but they are those that have work and faith toward Almighty God.

That is not what the preachers are telling us; they have people believing that they will be taken out of the coming peril. Yet the message given by Almighty God to Esdras is different in that, although there is much peril for those that remain, the Left Behind, it is much worse for those Dead that were taken. So, who are those that are taken and where have they been taken? They are dead until the Day of Judgment.

But the living, those Left Behind on the earth, who have their faith in Almighty God, have a two-edged Sword that will fight on their behalf. Meanwhile, on the earth at that time, the multitude of people of the various tribes will stop their fighting against each other and join in a common bond to fight against the Lord Jesus Christ. BP speaks strongly to you preachers that are speaking false tales of being caught up out of these days and even now, in your false teachings, are joining with those that are establishing a One World Religion.

Do you see why Steven has been nagging whoever will give the slightest ear to listen to take the time to listen and read these books which have been removed from the Bible? God has used him to put these books on his site, where they have been for several years. God put it into his heart to listen to these books, which quickened his very spirit to want to share these astounding truths with others.

Why do you think he puts up with the accusations by others that have been brain-washed by the established religions that would have you believe that there is no need to worry, "You shall be taken out, you won't be Left Behind". That is not what Esdras (Esra, Ezra...many ways of spelling, depending on culture but same Prophet of God)

If just one or two will heed these truths, just think how many more might be saved?

Pay attention to what Esdras was told by Almighty God. It is the Left Behind that will receive His Mercy and help during the Latter Times and woe unto those that were taken. These are the Dead of the Dead; they shall not arise until the Day of Judgment where they arise for the short time that it takes to stand before God and hear their sentence which I am sure will be "Depart from me, I never knew you".

Do you recall how Yeshua said to the man that wanted to follow him but first he must bury his father? Jesus told him, "Let the Dead bury the Dead." He knew that these people were Spiritually Dead; let them go through all of their pomp and ceremony that seems to be part of burying one who is deceased. No more prayers or words of praise upon the dead will change their condition.

The message of both BPE and Steven is to those of you that teach the lies taught in the seminaries of a False pre-tribulation Rapture is to STOP IT, LEARN BEFORE YOU CONTINUE TO TEACH. Be willingly to learn the truth that has been hidden in these Books so skillfully hidden by the Vatican. You will be held accountable for your teaching.

You see, God promised that the hidden things would be revealed. This can be applied to the dark secrets done by the Powers That Be and it also can be applied to the positive reason of why the writings in these Books are for the End Day Generation and they will be heard. The Vatican has written many books which they put out to be read in order to propagate their belief system that continues to be of the Evil One's lies. There-fore you MUST know the Bible and search for HIS TRUTH. Only a few will heed them but you cannot claim you were not told about them.

Steven continues to put these books on the fore-front of this RaptureBibleProphecyForum website in the hopes that you will submit to the Holy Spirit that is urging you to look into the Meat of God's Word; the food of substance that is needed to grow in the strength and power it will take to get through the days that are upon this Latter Day Generation.

Esdras is often referred to as the Jewish Apocalypse of Ezra and contains seven visions of Ezra dealing with his angst over the pain and suffering inflicted upon Jews by Gentiles. Some scholars believe the book was written shortly after the AD 70 destruction of the temple in Jerusalem during the reign of Emperor Domitian (AD 81—96). While there is a definite tone of sadness in this work, there is consolation regarding ultimate retribution. There are six Messianic references within 2 Esdras.

I hope this man and the many that believe like he does begin to realize how much the wool has been pulled over their eyes by those who taught them in Seminaries which, sadly, has been the very Jesuit run institutions & teachers that came up with this nonsense to keep them so occupied with leaving that they are ill prepared for the days ahead. I am really sorry!
