Rapture Bible Prophecy Forum

(Rapture is a Vatican/Jesuit Lie )
The "Resurrection" has been erroneously labeled The "Rapture". 
THERE IS NO RAPTURE

WHY THE TITLE RAPTURE BIBLE PROPHECY FORUM?
WE STARTED OUT BELIEVING IN A 7 YR PRE TRIBULATION RAPTURE
BUT FOUND OVER TIME AROUND 2006 THAT THE BIBLE DOES NOT SHARE A 
BIBLE VERSE WHATSOEVER INDICATING A 7 YR PRE TRIBULATION RAPTURE

BIBLE VERSES EVIDENCE:

While Yahusha/JESUS was alive, He prayed to His Father: "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.  John 17:15 (KJV)

Yahusha/JESUS gave signs of what must happen before His Return:  "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:"  Matt. 24:29 (KJV)


WE DAILY STUDY TO SHEW OURSELVES APPROVED 
WE ARE NOT AFRAID TO SAY WE ARE LEARNING DAILY AND 
ARE ABLE TO ADMIT WE MAKE MISTAKES BUT STUDY TO 
LEARN EVERY DAY.

LET YHVH/YAHUSHA BE TRUE 
AND EVERY MAN A LIAR.

Reasons 18-21

Hello all,

Here are the continuing reasons why a future Millennium is not Biblical. I hope you are finding that these reasons are valid and are biblically supported. I have had little feedback as to whether or not these studies are having an impact. If no response is indicating that most are seeing the falsehood of this doctrine, then I am happy with the silence.

But, if anyone is having a problem seeing this, I hope you will speak up and ask questions, or support the view you do take on this. I know so much is happening, in the world at present, that is extremely intense, and focusing of this issue is not a high priority. Yet, as one falsehood exposed leads to seeing how others are also false, I hope this study is aiding in revealing some of the lies that have crept into the Body of believers, and we take back our power as His People and realize we are in His Kingdom and can do mighty works in His name, right up to the moment He Comes, again.

Why the Millennial Doctrine Is Not Biblical

By Albert J. Kempin

Reason Number Eighteen

The Millennium is Based Upon an Erroneous Interpretation of the Twentieth Chapter of Revelation

The passage in question is found in Revelation 20:1-10. The language of this section, and in fact the whole book of Revelation, is highly figurative and symbolic and so it must be interpreted in harmony with the plain teaching of the Bible. A symbolical or allegorical passage must not determine the sense of the clear and literal passage, but rather, a clear and literal passage will help us to determine the sense of an enigmatical passage.

First of all we find the dragon bound with a chain and cast into the abyss. The reader will please turn to Revelation 12:7-9 and there see that the same dragon is there introduced. It was the dragon who was being bound and not the devil himself. The word “devil” is an epithet of the dragon, as is also “serpent” and “Satan.”

This dragon was as cunning as a serpent, as cruel in its opposition as Satan, and as relentless in accusing the saints as is the devil. This dragon-power represented pagan Rome which persecuted the woman, or the church of God. The overthrow of paganism in the Roman Empire by the mighty power of Christianity was the struggle which the Revelator described in chapter twenty. The result of this struggle was the limitation of the power of idolatry and paganism in the Roman Empire. The chain which bound the dragon was the preaching of the gospel; nothing else can defeat the powers of wickedness.

During the thousand years (which are a symbolic expression for a long period) the departed martyrs who “were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands,” lived and reigned with Christ. This presents forcibly the fact that human personality survives the death of the body. The body may be killed, but the spirit of man lives on eternally. While the Christian life may be wiped out on earth, it goes on in eternity. This is one of the strongest arguments in the Bible for personal immortality. Men may kill the body but they cannot kill the soul. Even though the kingdom of God seems to be defeated on earth, yet its hosts are shouting victory on the other side of this vale of tears.

One must remember that the kingdom of God includes all the redeemed both in heaven and on earth. It is this heavenly phase of the kingdom which John portrays symbolically. A careful reading of this passage will show that the only ones eligible for this reign with Christ in this instance were those who were beheaded; no others were included. This had great meaning to the infant church when pagan Rome sought to wipe it out. It gave the Christians of the first century courage to die for the name of Jesus. They had the assurance that while their bodies slumbered in the dust their souls would reign with Christ. This is in accord with what Paul said: “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” To the repentant man on the cross, Jesus said, “This day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

Note that there are two kinds of “dead” and two kinds of “life.” The Revelator shows that the gospel has power to effect a resurrection in the person who is “dead in trespasses and sins.” When the gospel is adulterated or “another gospel” is substituted for it, it loses its life-giving power and deals out death rather than life. “The letter killeth but the Spirit giveth life.”

So there are those who, while alive physically, are dead spiritually, and there are those who are alive physically and spiritually also. A person may die a spiritual death which severs him from all that is good and holy in this life, and then he will some day die physically to face the Judge of the universe who will consign all who have died without Christ to what John calls “the second death,” or eternal banishment from the presence of God. However, all who hear the call of Christ to repentance and are truly converted from the error of their ways, receive life eternal now and reign in life, for “he that hath the Son hath life.” Jesus said that the believer who “believeth on him that sent me, bath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24).

This life in Christ is called symbolically “the first resurrection” because of its priority, importance and superiority over the resurrection of the body. All of the martyrs had part in that first resurrection because they had been saved from all sin by faith in Jesus Christ.

This first or spiritual resurrection made possible through the preaching of the gospel of Christ was to have two parts to it: the martyrs and their period, and those who saw the Reformation being ushered in, including all who accept Christ until the end of time. In between the period of the martyrs and the Reformation, historians bear witness to the “Dark Ages” when the gospel was supplanted by an authoritarian church which made tradition equal to revelation.

During this long night of spiritual darkness, salvation by faith in Jesus Christ was practically an unknown thing save by a few men and women who dared to stand out against the church of Rome. In this long period of spiritual night and death when the wheels of spiritual progress were stalled, salvation was offered by the church of Rome on the basis of “works” rather than faith in Christ.

At the time of the Sixteenth Century Reformation people began to live again because men and women could find salvation just as Luther found it. Those who are saved by faith in Jesus Christ are assured that the second death will have no power over them. Instead of being banished eternally from the presence of Christ, the redeemed of all time will hear words of welcome from the Savior and will then be ushered into the presence of God where through all eternity they shall praise Him who loved them and gave Himself for them.


Reason Number Nineteen
It Limits the Duration of the Kingdom of God to a Literal Thousand Years

The writers of both the Old and New Testaments agree that the kingdom of God is not so limited. Isaiah said, “Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end” (Isaiah 9:7). Daniel said, “The kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever” (Daniel 2:44). “His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed” (7:14). “He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever: and of his kingdom there shall be no end” (Luke 1:33). “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever” (Revelation 11:15).


Reason Number Twenty

It Points Christians to This Earth as Their Future Home

Our Lord always pointed His followers away from this earth to that heavenly realm to which He ascended. He promised to return to take His redeemed to the place He has gone to prepare for us. If this would not have been so Jesus would have informed us. All the writers of the New Testament point to heaven as the eternal abode of the righteous. This is the place wherein dwelleth righteousness. This is the “new heavens and the new earth.”

The hope of millennialists for a reign on earth after Christ comes is dealt a death-blow by the writers of the New Testament who declare by inspiration: “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”


Reason Number Twenty-One

It Accomplishes No More Than Can Now be Accomplished Through Jesus Christ

Every heart may now enjoy righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. No one need wait for a better day because “now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). The presence of Christ can be made real through the Holy Spirit. Peace which passeth all understanding may be the heritage of every ransomed soul. The heart full of sin and like a desert may blossom like a rose. Let no one be deceived into believing that a better day than the gospel day will ever dawn upon the earth. When that day is ended there will be no more time, but eternity will roll on endlessly.

Time is so very short. Jesus told us several times in the Book of Revelation that He Comes Quickly...meaning it will all happen in a short span of time, and many things at once. Is that not what we are seeing happen in this world today??

Let us take back the power of the Gospel that so much false doctrine has stolen from us as His people and His followers. We are supernaturally protected and He will show us what to do and say and it will all add to His Glory. Enough of men wanting to take this glory for themselves as they lead millions astray with their evil agendas. I think the Abomination of Desolation has already stood in the Holy Place.... our very own Christian Churches and in the very hearts of many of His followers.

My dear brothers and sisters, we must make sure that we have eyes to see and ears to hear His Holy Word, and to keep preaching the true Gospel of the Kingdom of God to the ends of the earth. There is no greater power than His love for us, and may our love for Him be fully ablaze when He comes to take us Home.

JESUS IS ALL AND EVERYTHING!!
