ISLAMISTS ABDUCT AND TORTURE
YEMENI CHRISITAN CONVERTS
WHY WERE THESE CHRISTIANS NOT RAPTURED?
THE GREAT TRIBULATION FROM ISLAMIC SHARIA LAW
Human rights organizations have reported this past week that the Houthi militia has abducted dozens of Yemeni Christian converts in a wide-scale campaign of arrests across areas under their control in Yemen.
Christian converts in Yemen must practice their faith in absolute secrecy to avoid severe consequences, including imprisonment, torture, and potentially the death penalty by beheading for apostasy, which is mandated by Yemeni Sharia law.
JESUS SAID BELIEVERS FACE TRIBULATION
John 16:33 (KJV)
33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
PAUL WROTE THAT CHRISTIANS FACE TRIBULATION
Romans 8:35 (KJV)
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
PAUL WROTE THAT CHRISTIANS DO NOT FACE
THE WRATH OF GOD ON JUDGMENT DAY
1 Thessalonians 5:9 (KJV)
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
NO ONE CAN FIND THE “PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE” IN THE BIBLE
A TEACHING OF MEN, NOT HEAVEN
Did you know there is not a single Bible verse anywhere that says, “pre tribulation rapture.” Nor is there any bible verse that says, “seven year tribulation.” These are teachings of men and not from heaven. If they were from heaven, you would find them clearly written in the Bible.
JOHN DARBY INVENTED THE PRE TRIBULATION RAPTURE
Only in the Western church (mostly America) was the “pre tribulation rapture” doctrine popularized by John Nelson Darby in the 1800-1900s and incorporated into the now discredited Scofield Reference Bible. Today most American pastors under 60 no longer teach it.
Most other Christians around the world have never had such a false doctrine. Certainly, none had it that lived in Islamic countries and faced the Islamic tribulation for the past 1400 years. None believe in the pretribulation rapture since they have actually experienced the tribulation and even beheadings. And they were not raptured before their tribulation.
This false teaching of artificial safety has kept the Western church from helping the hundreds of millions of Christians in the tribulation from Islam today.
Most historians agree that while early Christians strongly believed in the imminent return of Christ, they generally DID NOT DISTINGUISH between the Second Coming and Rapture and as separate events. Both the Second Coming and then the Rapture occur on the Day of the Lord.
John Darby separated the Second Coming and then the Rapture by seven years, in order to find room for his theory of a “seven year tribulation,” which also is not in any Bible verse.
THE BIBLE TEACHES SECOND COMING IS BEFORE RAPTURE
Paul was clear in 1 Thessalonians 4:15 to 5:3 that the Second Coming is BEFORE the Rapture, not after. John Darby changed this and placed the Rapture first, even though this is opposite of what the Bible says. And he added seven years.
Because in the early Greek text there were no chapter breaks, in 1 Thessalonians 4:15 through 1 Thessalonians 5:3, Paul is teaching about the “Day of the Lord”, which he says clearly in 1 Thessalonians 5:2.
These verses should be read together.
15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord [“PAROUSIA”], will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up [“HARPAZO”] together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. 1 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
Most early church fathers held a post-tribulational view, generally believing contemporary persecutions were part of the tribulation. This means Jesus will return after the tribulation of believers.
{The separate “tribulation, great”, or “great distress”, worst ever historical event for Jews, the holocaust, is described in Matthew 24:21-25, Daniel 12:1, and in Jeremiah 30:6-7.}
Zechariah 13 says two thirds of Israel will be killed in the land. Three different Scriptures describe the same “worst ever” event for the Jewish people, the holocaust. And just as Zechariah said, six million out of nine million, exactly two thirds, were killed in the holocaust
Matthew 24:21-22 (NIV)
21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. 22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will again.”
Daniel 12:1 (NIV)
1 “Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.”
Jeremiah 30:4-7 (NIV)
4 These are the words the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah: 5 “This is what the Lord says: “‘Cries of fear are heard; terror, not peace. 6 Ask and see: Can a man bear children? Then why do I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor, every face turned deathly pale? 7 How awful that day will be! No other will be like it. It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be saved out of it. “Ask now, and see If a male can give birth. Why do I see every man With his hands on his waist, as a woman in childbirth? And why have all faces turned pale? 7 Woe, for that day is great, There is none like it; And it is the time of Jacob’s distress, Yet he will be saved from it.
During World War II, the N***s murdered two thirds (about 6 million) of all Jews under their control. They would have killed more if the days of the war were not shortened with the Allied victory. The killing of the Jews ended in 1945, shortly before Israel was reborn in 1948. The year 1948 marked the fulfillment of many prophecies and timeline dates. The year 1948 marks the end of Daniel's last seven. No genocide in world history had been based so completely on such demonic—which was then executed by very rational, pragmatic means. Zechariah 13:8 tells us two thirds will be killed. Nothing like this ever occurred before or since.
