Waiting Without the Rapture


            The rapture is often defined as the snatching up out of the world those who are believers in Jesus.  This group of people who believe this will do most anything to ensure they don’t miss this “snatching up” out of the world.  In other words, the Messiah doesn’t come to do this.  In fact, after this “snatching up” of Christians who perform many duties all over the world there will be a period of Chaos until the Anti-Christ comes onto the scene and leads those who are left behind a very peaceful existence for three and a half years.  Then it seems that at the end of the first three and a half years the world will then be thrown into chaos once more with this false leader now causing chaos all over the world.  And then at the end of this seven-year period called the Great Tribulation, the Messiah will come and will cast this false leader into hell with those who weren’t saved during this time and the pit will be sealed forever.  At the end of a thousand years after the Messiah reigns, Satan will then be loosed only for a short period to try to deceive anyone he can and then he will be cast into the pit again never to be heard from ever again.
            Now, this scenario is complicated for a number of reasons, but the fact is that it’s the removal of believers from this world that begins the chaos and thus the beginning of the Great Tribulation period.  Now, for those who believe this scenario, I hate to burst their bubble, but the fact is that we have been living in the Great Tribulation Period since 1993 and that in fact this period of time has been divided up into two distinct periods of Peace and warfare.  In fact, I would go so far to say that as I write this, while the Tribulation Period is not yet over, I would suggest that we are now living in the 1335 days of Daniel, which is a period of time after the two periods are completed.  How long these 1335 days will be and when they began is something that I can only guess and that I can’t say that I know when it will be over.
            My best guess is that I think the Mayans knew that when their calendar came to a close on December 21, 2012, they knew something then that had very little meaning until the past few years when archeologists have been able to understand what the calendar means.  I am suggesting that it’s quite possible that the Messiah will come by the end of next year, but it is only a suggestion and is only for thought.  Just think about this world as it is.  We are at a point with some 7 billion people on this earth where the earth just can’t sustain much more human life.  We are fishing our oceans almost to extinction, but while as I write this, oil is the commodity of the earth and those who have it are blessed financially, however, the new oil is and will be water.  We have reached the point where we don’t have the capacity to feed all the people of this earth.  We have reached the point where there simply isn’t room for any more growth.  And because there is only a limited amount of money in the world, we have even reached the capacity for more money to be made by those who have none.  In fact, we have reached the point where there is little hope for the world except the Hope for the coming of the Messiah.
            So, what I am suggesting here that I claim the Angels told me is that there is no rapture and those who have purposely taken human life will follow Satan into the pit of hell.  Everyone is born saved and the only way for one to lose one’s salvation is to purposely take a human life.  So, when the Messiah comes, He will do battle with the army of Satan with Satan as its leader.  Then the Messiah will clean up this world and restore it to the original state of Eden.  Then and only then will He set up His earthly Kingdom of Peace for a thousand years.  It is my belief that when Satan is loosed at the end of a thousand years that he will roam this earth and he be able to observe this world as it has been without him and he will find no one who will follow him. Then Jesus will return Satan to the pit where he and all his followers will be sealed for ALL eternity.
            Now, some might say that a world without a rapture means that EVERYONE goes through the Tribulation Period.  The Good News is that those reading this have survived it already and all we need to do is sit back, relax, and wait for the coming of the Messiah.  It is my belief we won’t be waiting much longer.  Peace.  Brother Ralphie for The Angels of Life Institute
