ALTERNATIVE Explanation For The RAPTURE
People think that at the Rapture we Christians
are caught up to heaven without dying !!
When God blows "the trumpet of God"(1st Thess. 4.15-17).
Where did this idea come from (that we go to heaven without dying)??
Well Paul the apostle says,"we will NOT all sleep but we shall all be changed.."(1st Corinthians 15.51-52).
"Sleep" here refers to dying.
So Christians interpret these words to mean "we shall not all DIE.."
But there is an ENORMOUS amount of evidence that death DOES occur at the Rapture.
For we read that at the Rapture "SUDDEN DESTRUCTION" will occur.
It will be WARTIME DESTRUCTION (1st Thess.5.2-3).
For it comes on "the Day of the LORD," a term borrowed from the Old Testament, which always meant WAR as the Judgment by God against a particular nation.
So the conclusion to draw is that the Rapture will occur at a time of WAR, and SUDDEN DESTRUCTION.
So an enormous number of deaths would naturally result !!
So for Christians to depart without dying would be illogical, counter-intuitive !!
Not only does the Rapture occur at time of a war,
it will be RUSSIAN ATTACK upon America !!
This part is extremely important.
For NUCLEAR WAR means fireballs so hot that flesh turns to vapor in an instant !!
My point is that no "sleeper" corpses would be left behind (near "ground zero") !!
This vaporizing would literally fulfill Paul's words, "we will not all sleep.."
Once you see that death DOES occur at the Rapture,
you can grasp what is actually going on at the Rapture, namely a great slaughter !!
This MASS DEATH will be the military attack by "the Beast" upon "the saints,"
namely the countries predominantly Christian (predicted in Revelation 13.7).
IOW, Rev.13.7 = a Rapture passage !! Finally, if wartime devastation is what expels people from this world at the Rapture,
this means the Rapture will be much smaller than we've been led to believe.
For Russian attack won't involve Africa, South America and Asia.
So Christians in those places are NOT going up in the Rapture, you see??
PS: After Paul says, we will not all sleep.."
he specifies that "we will all be changed IN AN INSTANT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE."
Nuclear war would fulfill this sudden change !!
For the vaporizing would occur "in an instant" !!
People in the big cities will go from physical bodies to spiritual instantly.
Try to grasp the gravity of the situation.
One more note:
in the parable of the fishing net, good and bad fish are CAUGHT UP in the net.
But then the good fish are kept while the bad are cast back into the sea(Matthew 13.47-49).
The action of the fish being caught up out of their world tells us this is about the Rapture.
