The majority of this earth’s
population will be “Left Behind” when Jesus comes in the clouds
to Rapture the saints. Out of the six billion-plus souls, a few
million will most likely be raptured as the Bride of Jesus
Christ. These are the most blessed of all the inhabitants of
this earth. To miss being a part of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture
is too horrible to consider. Even worse is to realize that this
also means missing for eternity the privilege of being part of
the highest order of saints called the Bride of Jesus Christ.
The Bride of Jesus Christ will dwell for eternity in the
Paradise of God, which is called New Jerusalem. The rest of the
saved will enjoy the light of the city and may visit this
Paradise of God but will not have a mansion in this glorious and
magnificent city. Let me give you a quote from a premier Bible
scholar of the past. His book, The Apocalypse, is a classic work
on the Book of Revelation. He was a Lutheran when Lutherans were
more than a form. Read his words carefully:
“They are people whom the judgment
found unprepared, and who consequently were ‘left’ when the
rapture of the church took place. The Scriptures are everywhere
very particular in forewarning us that the day of the Lord shall
come as a thief in the night – that it will come as a snare on
all them that dwell on the earth – that the great mass of men,
and even of the professing Church, shall be overtaken by it
unawares – and that, ‘in that night, there shall be two in one
bed,’ one of whom ‘shall be taken, and the other left;’ and ‘two
grinding at the mill,’ one of whom ‘shall be taken, and the
other left;’ and two in the field, one of whom ‘shall be taken,
and the other left.’ The representations are also very clear,
that great will be the number of those who will thus be ‘left.’
Indeed, the intimations are, that so few will be found ready,
and waiting for their Lord, that their removal will cause no
very noticeable depletion in the population of the earth. The
great body of the professed church of that day will be ‘left,’
as well as the entire community not of the Church; for ‘when the
Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?’ And to all
that are then found unready, and are ‘left,’ gone forever will
be the privileges and honours of ‘the Church of the first-born!’
Gone, the crowns, the thrones, the princedoms of eternity, which
are now so freely offered to every hearer of the Gospel! Gone,
to return no more, all hope and opportunity of regaining the
lost prize of immortal kingship and dominion! Grovelling
worldlings, profane blasphemers, blinded skeptics, may not
understand it, and, for the most part, go on in their sins; but,
for millions upon millions, ‘there shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth.’ In place of invitations to heavenly rulership, will
be judgment pangs; and in place of the joyous day of God’s
long-suffering, will be the dark waves of the great tribulation.
“But, even then, not yet everything
will be lost. The crown will be gone, but salvation may still be
attained. There will then be no more heavenly thrones to be
distributed, but there will still be palms to be secured. The
pains of the great tribulation will then have to be endured, but
there will remain a possibility of coming out of it, before it
culminates in eternal perdition. And many, whose repentance
comes, alas, too late for eternity’s higher glories, will turn
themselves in sorrowful earnestness to that Saviour whose
sublimer offers they let slip for this paltry and perishing
world. ‘For when God’s judgments are in the earth, the
inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.’ (Isaiah
16:9)” (The Apocalypse, J. A. Seiss, p. 175.)
Please do not be angry when you read
this. This generation is the first generation where the majority
of preachers preach a watered-down version of the Bride’s honor
and her rewards. If you are a part of the “Left Behind” crowd
and are able to “wash your garments” in the blood, you still
cannot reverse your failures and become a part of the Bride.
However, you can be raptured in the middle of the Tribulation if
you are willing to die a brutal death as a martyr for the Lord
Jesus Christ. This booklet is written for anyone that misses the
Rapture and is willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice. You cannot
know the honor of His bride; but, you may, possibly, if you have
not been deluded, repent and be saved by washing yourself in His
Blood and enduring the horrors of the Great Tribulation.
Why Did You Miss the Rapture?
You missed the Rapture because you were not an overcomer of sin
and this world. The church is full of lukewarm “Christians” that
appear to have a type of limited love for the Lord but are not
willing to give Him their all. You missed the Rapture because
you were not faithful to the Word of God and a dedicated prayer
life. Keeping the great commandments of God was optional to you.
Church was okay, but not a priority. You cared little for
discipleship and good works for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. You
believed in the Blood of Jesus, but you were not absolutely
clinging to the righteousness that His Blood provides your soul.
The fire of the Holy Spirit had either gone out or was never
truly lit in your spirit. Your first love was gone. He gave you
space to repent and you repented not, and, now, the oil of the
Holy Spirit does not flood your vessel.
Maybe you missed the Rapture because
you have known the truth of the Holy Scripture but never
surrendered your life to Him. In this case, you were never
saved. The Bible was always believed by you, but the call was
rejected because of other interests. You probably saw a lot of
Christians that turned you off because you thought they were
hypocrites or at least inferior to what you expected. Maybe even
your parents disappointed you. Someone may have hurt you and
this was your excuse. But, now you know you have missed the
Rapture. Some very dear people you loved are gone, disappeared
without a trace!
There will be a multitude of people
that call the Rapture that occurs a false and deceptive event.
To this great crowd the people that have disappeared were
Taliban-types of Christians – fundamentalists that would not
accept the modern-day move of God. This multitude hated these
narrow-minded people and they now rejoice that the new,
inclusive church has prevailed. With blaring contemporary rock
and pop music and slick preaching, the party will begin. This
crowd from within the Catholics, Baptists, Pentecostals and
Charismatics, along with every odd religion, will usher in the
One World Church and introduce the appearance of the false “christ.”
Deceiving miracles will occur worldwide, the new “christ” will
call down fire on his enemies, and the blinded multitude will
swoon at the mention of his name.
But You Are Left Behind
If you have not read our booklet, entitled “Left Behind, The
Multitude That Cannot Repent,” please read it now. How can you
know that it will not be impossible for you to be saved? I am
not absolutely sure you can know. But one thing is sure! You
have no hope apart from Jesus Christ and His Blood. Your only
option is to cast yourself on His mercy. I believe that if you
cast yourself to trust and obey Him unto death that His love
will open your heart if you have not been deluded. No one knows
all of the uncertainties of this difficult period of God’s wrath
but the Father Himself. Your hope will be in His Blood and your
willingness to die any death with which the Antichrist and his
army may deem to punish you. Death will certainly be by the most
hideous schemes that the devil and his henchmen can imagine.
Do Not Rush to Church
There will be no place more dangerous than a church after the
Rapture. The church world will be divided between those that
deny the Rapture as a Divine event and those being hunted by the
Antichrist to be slaughtered. I have already described the New
World inclusive church that hates fundamental Christianity.
Those “Left Behind” that know the truth will certainly go to
their churches to pray and declare the truth, but it will not
take long for their churches to be the object of destruction by
the forces of Antichrist. Public worship by any religious group
or church, except the New One World Religion, will be outlawed
and their properties will be destroyed or possessed by the One
World Government. Every genuine, repentant believer will be
driven underground.
Survival Plans
How are you going to survive the absolute hell that will be
unleashed on the earth? The wrath of God that descends will be
enough to make the earth almost uninhabitable. Couple God’s
wrath with Satan’s wrath against everything that so much as
names the name of God or Christ and it will be double hell.
The earth must be cleansed in seven
years and the method of God’s cleansing of sin and its
consequences is judgment. Jesus was condemned and judged by both
men and God that we could be forgiven of sin. The earth must be
judged so righteousness can be restored when Jesus comes to
establish His Kingdom. The Seven Seals and the Seven Trumpets
are declarations of Great Wrath affecting the entire earth. The
Seven Vials are more particularly directed against the
Antichrist kingdom, yet all mankind will certainly suffer the
incredible consequences. There will be no human comfort during
these dark Seven Years of Tribulation.
Here is a description of the seals,
trumpets, and vials:
SEAL JUDGMENTS
-
Peace taken, global war, great
weapons (Rev. 6:4).

My best advice for someone Left Behind:
-
Hide your Bible in a secure location
and immediately memorize key passages for use when it is
discovered and destroyed.
-
Never use the home phone or cell
phone to discuss anything spiritual because every conversation
will be monitored.
-
Locate as much non-perishable food
as quickly as possible. Clean off a large lot and learn to
garden.
-
Get used to walking or riding a
bicycle because you will not be able to buy without the Mark
of the Beast.
-
Find a genuine Christian friend for
fellowship but be careful because betrayals will be a high
honor offered by the New Order.
-
I have no advice for someone with
children.
-
Get the television out of your home.
-
Prepare to be martyred or to join
the One World Order and take the Mark.
-
What else is there to suggest?
Before The Rapture, There Is
Still Time
Before this wonderful Rapture occurs and you are “Left Behind,”
surrender totally to Jesus Christ and let Him wash your wedding
garment and make it white. Any person that has been made a new
creature in Christ and has been set apart unto His righteousness
is ready for the Rapture. Your wedding garment is the spotless
and sanctified life of holiness. It is not keeping rules and
standards out of your flesh but allowing Him to so cleanse and
purify your heart that you do not want the world and its
compromise. Unclean habits and immodest dress will become
repulsive to your heart. Your beauty will be “His salvation” and
your appearance will reflect “the oil of His anointing.” The
Holy Spirit working in your heart will leave no stone unturned
in leading you into Biblical holiness.
The Lord of the church spoke to us
by the Apostle John warning us to keep our “garments.” The
“wedding garment” is not just holiness of heart but spotless
reflections of that holiness in the exterior lifestyle. The Lord
Jesus said, “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they
see his shame.” (Revelation 16:15) If Jesus was speaking only of
the heart, He would have said, “Blessed is he that keepeth his
heart;” but because He wants a spotless Bride, He said, “Blessed
is he that keepeth his garment.” The Bride, dressed in
immaculate white in today’s weddings, is the Biblical expression
of His Bride soon to enter the nuptial chamber of His matchless
presence. If He does not care how His Bride looks, why should we
care how our bride looks? I surrender today, at this very
moment.
“Husbands, love your wives, even as
Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he
might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the
word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not
having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should
be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:25-27) |
