My times are in Your hands | Bridal exit nearing

Before proceeding, consider these two watchmen’s prophetic end times insights on the latest geopolitical high impact events such as ‘Brexit and ‘Pulse’ first, for, in order to stabilize, manage and steer ourselves in these events’ aftermath, let alone inform, support or lead others, we need to know where we are in prophetic time and place and have (or regain) piece of mind to be able to think and act on the basis of sobriety, vigilance and readiness.

If you’re new to this blog, know that we write from a Biblical perspective and understanding we are inundated by global systemic changes soon converging into systemic destruction and global power centralization which will profoundly impact lives. This position may be overwhelming and regarded as extremely negative when first confronted with and – as a first reaction – you may be tempted to negate, deny the content or discredit the messenger. If so, that’s understandable. I ask you nonetheless to work through these initial emotional and mental reactions should they arise and hang in there. When fearful in light of unexpected negative feedback, ask yourself if the information comes across as truthful and discern the intent from which it is written.

Understanding and solutions will be provided. Bible prophecy not only offers future-proof insight into the deeper things of God, ourselves and the world around us, it offers the pathway to salvation for our soul and deep rooted piece of mind, it enhances our responsiveness, sobriety and vigilance to overcome even the worst of Biblically foretold changes including a merciful escape from the soon cascading global destructive events. Brace yourself if you’re new to this perspective and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or remarks.

 

Viewing and reading the prophetic signs of the times, presented by Scripture led and Holy Spirit filled watchmen and ministers of today and days long gone by, we have come to know the time of His coming is at hand as well as how to respond in congruence with God’s Word. This notion may be overwhelming; it is to me at times.

Prophetic ‘high watch’ time | cascading world events

Sometimes, end times – even prophetic ‘high watch’ times we currently find ourselves in – can seem abstract, even distant as if viewed as mere projections onto an external canvas or timepiece outside my personal life, be it the heavens as celestial signs, on the world stage through multimedia outlets which severely obscure reality, in geopolitical affairs with global unification, messianic leaders coming center stage, wars and rumors thereof and the division of Jerusalem as prophetic time markers. Spiritual opposition can bind us to this mental state of being a mere spectator of cascading externalities or, once incrementally ingested, induce fight, flight and freeze responses due to our ineptness to process matters with sound mindedness, spiritual vigilance and Biblical discernment and hinder our response to the leap frog systemic changes occurring at break neck speed.

The Lord, especially in these times, calls us to watch and pray. Draw near to Him, be still and know …. He is in full control, keeping the time, prophetic times and our personal times.

Drawing nearer to the creator and keeper of all, grasping His outstretched hand and enveloping ourselves in his comforting arms, surrendering and yielding our whole being, forms the solution and bridge crossing any soul, mind or heart divide, as always. To (re-)gain closeness to the Lord and find inner piece and direction, obstacles often have to be overcome, undue control mechanism yielded and (hidden) sin repented of first, Acknowledging He is God, our Lord and savior, amidst all inner and outer circumstances is paramount.

Total identity and security | my times are in Your hands

In this teaching Charles Spurgeon invites us to obtain such gap bridging knowledge and understanding how, in addition to time at large and prophetic times enveloping us, the times of our personal and inner lives are totally secured in His hands as well. We find the foundation of this teaching in the 31st psalm (KJV):

31 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

² Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

³ For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.

⁴ Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

⁵ Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

⁶ I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord.

⁷ I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

⁸ And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

⁹ Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

¹⁰ For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

¹¹ I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

¹² I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

¹³ For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

¹⁴ But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.

¹⁵ My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

¹⁶ Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.

¹⁷ Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

¹⁸ Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

¹⁹ Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

²⁰ Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

²¹ Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

²² For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

²³ O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

²⁴ Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.

 

Spurgeon’s study does not contrast the whole body of the saints enjoying security and assurance together from knowing the large scale prophetic times, but, after all, truth is sweetened and ingested more easily when we taste the flavor of it for ourselves.

The Lord draws us near to him into the understanding that He works all worldly things according to His purpose; and invites us to abide in the presence of His gracious, loving Spirit ruling our personal lives as well.

At times, I struggle with fear including fear of the unknown, rejection at large and by Him eventually, trickling down to the wellbeing of my children and fate of (as of yet unsaved) loved ones and friends and often seek the Lord for (re-)assurance, for deliverance from fear induced fight, flight and freeze and letting go of the need to be in control and pray to come into proper alignment.

Nearing Him in spirit, knowing how near He actually is and cares for every detail in our lives eases, settles and heals. Our time is not in our hands, nor in the enemy’s. We are not to fear men’s judgements but may enjoy great expectations of what the Lord has and will undertake for us and our loved ones in these end times especially.

He, through His Word, Spirit and diligent servants, gives us ample insight into events unfolding and offers us security in both knowing and understanding times and our responsiveness, yet invites us also to be grateful and content with what is already established, revealed and matters still sealed. His future promises and blessings are rock solid, kept by his unchanging, loving nature extending towards us. Whatever we yield and whomever we lay in His hands, knowing our time on earth is nearly ending, are as well.

All the while news headlines are projecting an apocalyptically presented, emotionally high charged, yet factually uncertain aftermath of Brexit, most people are unaware that legally this highly publicized events was merely a non binding referendum. A high conflict divorce is nonetheless being foreshadowed in the worldwide media outlets and the stability of the EU put into question. The swaying and subconscious anchoring of emotions to power sources outside ourselves, divisions of underlying loyalties, split in our thought lives and fear of (trans-)national systemic implosion and destruction is firmly anchored nevertheless. The terms for this type of geopolitical conflict induction and psychological debasing tactics are polarization and gaslighting. Look it up if you’re unfamiliar with the terms; they’re dark sophisticated narcissistic traits to debase, divide and later usurp control by providing, or rather being the solution to covertly orchestrated and self manufactured problems. Another term for this construct is the Hegelian dialectic, normally used to resolve conflicting opinions towards truth, but easily manipulated in the political realm when, in short: you create the problem, create opposing solutions which have very high costs and induce conflict after polarization of the opposite groups.  Once the dust settles you present the predesigned solution which results in more power centralization from both groups. Standard EU politics.

Pulse at second glance | more than meets the eye

Likewise with the Pulse shooting. There is much information available already that there is more going on than what meets the eye. Ask yourself: Why is this woman smiling after just learning of her son’s death at Pulse Orland0 (link)? Is that a natural, normal respons in the given situation?

In stead of accepting the official story line, even though it’s presented by confident and smooth sounding ‘experts’ and ‘officials’, discern thoroughly, research the underlying facts for yourself before drawing conclusions. Does it matter that the FBI official Admits NOBODY DIED @Pulse… Before 5:13AM (link), that is before the SWAT teams entered the building and that many ‘alledged non lethal victims and visitors’ commenting on the event have proved to be crisis actors (link). Another report for your consideration: Orlando Shooting Hoax Busted Wide Open2 with a politician on probation, often interviewed by local TV stations, with drug charges and questionable past interviewed as if he is just a random witness. Stop, look, listen and discern your stance based on facts, not on the portrayed visuals and swaying emotions. The programming or conditioning of society along the Pulse branding and LGBT programming is massive, as viewed here. Ask yourself why and moreover to what purpose.

Trailblazing, wild maned rebel leadership

This is how, through mass programming, inducing trauma and subconscious anchoring of our emotions debased from reality, pre-traumatic stress is orchestrated to further mass conditioning. Acted out on a world stage while the unsuspecting battle fatigue masses, (unconsciously) united by centralized world media under purposefully designed slogans of tolerance, (religious) unity, inclusiveness, diversity, love and togetherness in designed opposition to religious fundamentalism as humanity’s final, remaining enemy (where radical Islam will soon be tied to Bible based Christianity called to be set apart) are prepared to give up existing identities, loyalties and power bases, accept and subsequently welcome a future messianic come-save-all-and everything type leader coming from behind the curtains after worldwide sudden destruction, the final stage of the Hegelian dialectic construct just explained, with capabilities well beyond those of the current, seemingly untamed geopolitical trailblazers and deemed political outsiders, debasing and  stirring up political debates.

In come the rebels. These intermittent, political stage stormers such as Donald and Boris (in my home country personified by wild maned controlled opposition leader Geert Wilders) are in fact elite groomed and highly skilled politicians, well able to sway, arouse and bind people to emotionally charged half truths and politically self serving doctrines – based on the assumption they can provide systemic solutions to deep rooted spiritual and moral problems we cannot vote, deal or debate our way out of. Very skilled and successful at assembling, dividing and re-assembling the increasingly conflict weary and deceived, they put a lot of stress un existing systems, already driven towards near-collapse by extensive high conflict and crisis politics, while proposing a way out at the cost of remaining God given principles, independence and personal power to be transferred to the proven (spiritually and morally) bankrupt national or – even worse – the international political arena.

 

Brexit | Staged 

With discerning spiritual eyes, we may see these cascading geopolitical events  descending into systemic destabilization and chaos such as Brexit, as conveying an all together different message, namely that of confirmation of the soon approaching church exit and return of the true messiah, the Lion of Judah for His redeemed bride, His assembled believers, growing in sobriety, vigilance, readiness and even excitement, knowing their Lord’s coming for them is very near.

As is often the case, word etymology reveals the dual foreshadowing of both an escape and staged ending:

exit (n.) 1530s (late 15c. as a Latin word in English), originally a stage direction, from Latin exit “he or she goes out,” third person singular present indicative of exire”go out, go forth, depart,” from ex- “out” (see ex-) + ire “to go” (see ion). Also from Latin exitus “a leaving, a going out,” noun of action from exire. Meaning “a departure” (originally from the stage) is from 1580s. Meaning “a way of departure” is from 1690s; specific meaning “door for leaving” is from 1786. The verb is c. 1600, from the noun; it ought to be left to stage directions and the clunky jargon of police reports. Related: Exited; exiting. Those who neither know Latin nor read plays like myself are apt to forget or not know that this is a singular verb with plural exeunt. [Fowler] exeunt (v.) stage direction, late 15c., from Latin, literally “they go out,” third person plural present indicative of exire (see exit).

Brexit thus conveys a message of a nearing high conflict separation and systemic destabilization for the world, in particular the EU as five more countries are favoring a referendum, as well as an exit for the Lord’s bride (ready believers, set apart by the Lord) separating or breaking away from the kingdom of this world into matrimony with Him in His heavenly kingdom, a spiritual division between wise virgins and foolish ones.

Let us continue to watch and pray to be found worthy to escape and inform and help others, knowing His hands of grace and mercy are still extended. Call upon the Lord to be saved if you haven’t yet.

John 3:16 KJV

 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 10:9-10 KJV

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Blessings,

Sabine

On repeat, the ‘Be Ye Ready’ guide for preparation in light of the Lord’s soon coming and an overview of prophecies pointing to the Lord’s soon return for us, entitled: ‘When to watch for the Lord’s return’

 

For further study and preparation for the Lord’s soon return | Do you know what time it is?

God’s Word tells us that He will return on a day that will seem like just any other day. People will go to work, people will tend to their gardens, work on their house and yard projects, the stores will be busy, weddings and plans for the future, like the days of Noah and Lot, when they were saved from sudden destruction.

People will have a false idea and hope of the future; they will have a misguided judgment that things will continue as they did yesterday. They will make plans for the weekend, what they are going to have for dinner, what summer projects they should work on, vacation plans, business plans, community plans.

Do you know what time it is? Have you asked the Lord to come into your life and submit to Him. What do you need to cast off to be ready for His coming? What trimming do you need to do to make your lamp shine brighter? What do you need to purify? Stop what you are doing, and ask God for wisdom on what you should pursue and purify.

How do I get saved if I do not know Jesus yet? 

This simple, yet profound, question is the most important question that can be asked. “How can I be saved?” deals with where we will spend eternity after our lives in this world are over, in heaven with our Lord Jesus or in hell which means everlasting punishment, torment and eternal damnation. There is no more important issue than our eternal destiny.

Information to support those expected to be left behind

When Jesus returns for His Bride (the ones who have accepted Him as Lord and Savior and serve him to the best of their ability, children up to the age of accountability and those with uninformed conscience) there will be many lost loved ones and friends wondering what happened. They will likely be shocked, frightened and in great of information and basic comfort.

Be encouraged to write them a letter you could leave behind or post on social media to inform and equip them to deal with what happened.

Swing low | Corrie’s ticket | All aboard?

Below, Daniel Valles from Informedchristians.com teaches on how our given time to repent, turn from our sins and prepare ourselves and one another for the Lord’s soon coming is almost running out.

The celestial and Scriptural reminders point to only a few days and hours away! We’re nearing the end of the proverbial line. 

Of trains and tracks

After studying Scripture and the etymology concerning trains and tracks, a beautiful prophetic picture emerged. I discerned that the root wording of ‘train’ can be used as a means to draw out (reminiscent of the Lord calling and drawing us out of the world and its systems), in addition to referring to a trailing part of a (wedding) gown, moving on a pre-designed straight and narrow path, securely two tracked (thy rod and staff comfort me), drawn by an engine (designed and guided by the engineer/locomotive, a type of the Lord), progressing behind and in line with Him, waiting for the conductor’s (type of Holy Spirit, our helper) time cues and other directives who goes by strict protocol (the written Word and celestial signs) and attentive to our unique pathways, to bring us to a desired state (being remembered with the Lord, His body and reunited in heaven) by means of instruction, discipleship and fellowship.

Applied in the realm of photography and vision it also indicates a clear point of aim and focus over stretches of land or water in addition to being a precursor of human development. It also refers to the little book of life (God’s Word, the Spirit indwelling us and a type of DNA or scroll) tucked securely away in our minds, hearts and cell nucleus (Holy of Holies), jointly conducting our collective and personalized pathway to salvation, deliverance, healing and liberty in Him. In addition to conducting our travels, The Holy Spirit also provides guidance in our prayer life and our songs of praise and worship.

Underground railroad and songs

The underground railroad songs, like the one the featured in the Informedchristians’ video above, were used in everyday life by African slaves in the United States. Singing was a tradition brought from Africa by the first slaves; sometimes their songs are called ‘spirituals’. Singing served many purposes such as providing repetitive rhythm for repetitive manual work, inspiration and motivation. Singing was also used to express values and solidarity with each other and during celebrations.

Songs were also used as tools to remember and communicate since the majority of slaves could not read, in addition to serving as coded language amongst their helpers (called conductors) to not alert their masters during their struggle for freedom using the ‘underground railroads’, a network of secret routes and safe houses used to escape to free US states and Canada with the aid of abolitionists and allies who were sympathetic to their cause.

Songs used Biblical references and analogies of Biblical people, places and stories, comparing them to their own history of slavery.

Listen for a bit…..eyes closed….

Now, open up and please enjoy these inspiring words and images which came to mind after studying how many Biblical and historical accounts of captives, conductors and their joint progression towards deliverance and liberty in Christ form such a wonderful last days image ..

Up and leave | Are you ready to surrender, forsake all and cross the Jordan?

A dear friend gave me the video ‘The Hiding Place – Corrie Ten Boom’ a while back, containing the below mentioned story (click here for the film’s free online version), not knowing at the time that Mrs. Ten Boom – on various occasions – visited the church I attended myself for a few years as well.

Cornelia “Corrie” ten Boom (15 April 1892 – 15 April 1983) was a Dutch Christian who, along with her father and other family members, helped many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II. She was imprisoned for her actions. Her most famous book, The Hiding Place, describes the ordeal.

From “The Hiding Place” by Corrie Ten Boom with John and Elizabeth Sherrill (Spire Books, Fleming H Revell CO, NJ), 1971

“Corrie Ten Boom was one of two unmarried daughters out of a family of four children who grew up in a narrow three-story house in the center of Haarlem, Holland. She and her unmarried sister were living with their father, a watch repairman, at the time of the Nazi invasion into Holland in 1941. She was a driving force in hiding and helping with the escape of many Jews who would have otherwise been deported and probably killed. On Feb 28, 1944, she was taken by German authorities to prison and was later transported to Germany (Ravensbrook concentration camp) where she barely escaped death. Here is one of her stories of faith and trust.

Corrie joined her mother as they brought a basket of fresh bread up to a family who had just lost their baby. As her mother headed over to the young mother, Corrie stood frozen on the threshold when she saw that the homemade crib off to the right contained the dead baby. Her sister went over carefully and then touched the baby’s cheek; it took a while, but Corrie at last put one finger on the small curled hand that was so cold.

Still shivering from that cold feel, she followed her sister up to their room and crept into bed beside her. She couldn’t even begin to fall asleep until her father came up to arrange the blankets in his special way and then lay his hand for a moment on each head. As soon as he stepped through the door, however, she burst into tears and cried out “I need you! You can’t die! You can’t”. Nollie then explained to their father about visiting Mrs Hoog and touching the dead child. She also reported that Corrie hadn’t eaten anything since that experience.

Her father sat down on the edge of the narrow bed and gently began to ask Corrie a question: “When you and I go to Amsterdam–when do I give you your ticket?” She sniffed a few times before responding with “Why, just before we get on the train”. Her father then went on, “Exactly. And our wise Father in Heaven knows when we’re going to need things, too. Don’t run out ahead of Him, Corrie. When the time comes that some of us will have to die, you will look into your heart and find the strength you need–just in time”.

Unlike Corrie at the time, most believers currently living in the western part of the world currently do not face severe persecution or the risk of dying, unlike many of our brothers and sisters in less fortunate parts of the world. The Lord has nonetheless called upon all of His children in any and all way fathomable to repent, lay our lives down and prepare ourselves and one another for His soon coming.

Waiting and serving patiently, with great anticipation, we have come to discern the heavenly chariots, just like in Ezekiel’s days, are coming for us soon.

Corrie’s ticket

During our final preparations, Corrie’s profound lesson on forgiveness (7 mins linked here) is sure to bless our hearts (and those who may have harmed us) greatly. Let us join her in her ‘trained’ perspective of the cross and how she, through the teachings by her earthly and heavenly father, developed a deep gratitude of sharing in the Lord’s life and sufferings.

Many blessings!

Lord, come quickly.

Children and the rapture | Be informed and assured!

 

High watch!

We are currently in a high watch period awaiting the rapture and subsequent sudden destruction as foretold in the Bible. Our frequent prophetic updates at Informedchristians.com detail all pivotal end times events.

Based on our knowledge of Scripture,  end times prophecy, the many clear celestial signs directing us to the Lord’s soon coming for us in conjunction with geopolitical developments in the Middle East in particular and blatant enemy signaling celebrating their soon being unrestrained, we are served well to study the Scriptures daily, heed the Lord’s instructions and ensure we are ready, vigilant and sober in expectance of Him.

At the end of this blog post, specific research links are shared concerning the nature and timing of the rapture as well as instructions regarding how to finalize our own preparations and help others do likewise. Information for those expected to be left behind is listed too as well as my contact data and a link to my Dutch blog on end times events. No, back to the topic at hand:

What about the children?

In this blog post we will address the specific issue of what will happen during the rapture with children and (unborn) babies (referred to as ‘little ones’ in Matthew 18:6 and Strongs 93813 a.o.) and the feebleminded (1 Thessalonians 15:14), meaning those without an informed conscience or the mental ability to distinguish good from evil and weigh worldly and eternal consequences of their choices and actions. In order for us to inform others, help them prepare, be vigilant and sober, we need to be properly informed and instructed ourselves first.

Many questions will likely arise among believers and especially among those left behind at the rapture concerning the fate of their loved ones and children in in particular In response, we’ve compiled this post for you and have selected a few articles which answer many of them from Scripture, rooted in the essence of God, his guiding principles and specific directives.

Be informed!

This first article by Terry James presents a cohesive, general overview on the Lord’s essence, our sin nature, our need for salvation through Jesus Christ, a concise explanation of the what, why and how of the rapture, our personal accountability in the matter and the assurance thereof provided in Scripture. Special attention is given to the apostle Paul’s teachings regarding the separation between believers and unbelievers at the rapture, the Lamb’s book of life, the fate of children who will be raptured, those who have died before the rapture and those born afterwards.

Please read this article by Terry James: ‘Will all children be raptured?‘ in full before proceeding. 

One of the author’s main conclusions, drawn from Scripture:

“So, the position we, as individuals (not collectively) have in Jesus Christ, is the determining factor –the all important matter— in considering where you, or I, or any person will spend eternity. All children before they reach the age of accountability are positioned securely in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose shed blood is the only remission for the soul-destroying thing called sin.”

“Every child below the age of accountability –including those in the womb— will go to be with Jesus when He steps out on the clouds of glory and shouts: “Come up here!”

Age of accountability  

In this next article: Age of Accountability And the Rapture the previous article’s basic stance is confirmed. The specificities concerning children over the age of accountability are addressed as well; they need to “repent from their sins and accept Jesus Christ into their hearts as their Lord and Savior to be eligible to be included up in the Rapture. They also need to be found worthy to be included in the rapture, just like anyone else.”

“There is no ‘set’ age listed in the Scriptures that determines the ‘age of accountability’. The Lord knows that all children mature and understand things at different rates, so He knows when a child is deemed accountable or not. The parents or guardians can usually know when a child knows the difference between good and evil, saying the truth or lying, knowing about Jesus and the enemy, etc.”

Be assured!

Specific guidance is given in this article as to what accountability means as well as instructions to parents and caregivers regarding how to lead, instruct and pray with children so assurance of their salvation can be obtained.

Q&A

We will now present a few specific questions and answers which may also arise when we ponder the matter.

•  Are children’s sin weighed concerning the rapture?

• What about the spiritual condition of the parents? How, if so does that weigh in?

• What about unborn children to unbelieving parents? 

• Questions regarding the validity of Old Testament types and shadows 

• What about children conceived after the rapture?

 

For further study and preparation for the Lord’s soon return | Do you know what time it is?

God’s Word tells us that He will return on a day that will seem like just any other day. People will go to work, people will tend to their gardens, work on their house and yard projects, the stores will be busy, weddings and plans for the future, like the days of Noah and Lot, when they were saved from sudden destruction.

People will have a false idea and hope of the future; they will have a misguided judgment that things will continue as they did yesterday. They will make plans for the weekend, what they are going to have for dinner, what summer projects they should work on, vacation plans, business plans, community plans.

Do you know what time it is? Have you asked the Lord to come into your life and submit to Him. What do you need to cast off to be ready for His coming? What trimming do you need to do to make your lamp shine brighter? What do you need to purify? Stop what you are doing, and ask God for wisdom on what you should pursue and purify.

How do I get saved if I do not know Jesus yet? 

This simple, yet profound, question is the most important question that can be asked. “How can I be saved?” deals with where we will spend eternity after our lives in this world are over, in heaven with our Lord Jesus or in hell which means everlasting punishment, torment and eternal damnation. There is no more important issue than our eternal destiny.

You may be left behind with the hypocrites and unbelievers to endure the time of judgement and tribulation.

Information to support those expected to be left behind

When Jesus returns for His Bride (the ones who have accepted Him as Lord and Savior and serve him to the best of their ability, children up to the age of accountability and those with uninformed conscience) there will be many lost loved ones and friends wondering what happened. They will likely be shocked, frightened and in great of information and basic comfort.

Be encouraged to write them a letter you could leave behind or post on social media to inform and equip them to deal with what happened.

Below, please find a template or checklist for this purpose, with basic topics that may help convey your thoughts, multiple sample letters and guidance documents for the post rapture time frame.

After the rapture and worldwide sudden destruction, the Antichrist will enter the scene. Great delusion will follow. Even time and space dimensions will be manipulated.

• Revelation’s Spiral of Time. During the end times, the Bible foretells time and space will be manipulated. Here, find video material and here additional information of manipulation of time and natural laws as well
• After the rapture and sudden destruction, the Antichrist (the Satan indwelled global ruler or false messiah) will reign the earth and aim to mislead all people towards falling for  a ‘great delusion’. Here, you find specific information about the great delusion.
• Our research leads to Prince William as best matching candidate for this role.
• Here,  please find information on the great space deception the Antichrist will likely roll out (likely involving demonic beings presented as aliens or superior space brothers falsely proclaimed to have been involved in the rapture) and the earth’s Biblical cosmology (contrary to popular belief, deceptive outlets such as NASA and CERN and false scientific teaching, the earth is not a spinning ball rotating around the sun) will be relevant topics as they are central in his great delusion. Read, heed and be not deceived!
• All other publications by Informedchristians.com (the ministry I currently work for) about the tribulation and general end times prophecy is found here.

 

Many blessings!

Update October 2016! 

Daniel Valles made a video on topic! 

Four Frequently-Asked-Questions, especially very recent ones, are dealt with in light of the prophetic time we find our attention being drawn to right now:

1. What is a hypocrite? [1:47]
2. What can we do for those left behind? [8:52]
3. Will children be taken in the rapture? [16:07]
4. Are left-behind Christians still going to heaven? [28:42

Additional insight is given on how the devil will likely attempt to deceive the masses concerning the fate of the children/feebleminded who will be taken in the rapture.
