The Bible is a road map for the last days, requiring
study and the Holy Spirit to discern the times. Enoch, the prophet
Joel, Jesus and the apostle John all spoke of a future global
judgment. Each time the theme was the same; God's holy angels would
bring together the people, there would be a global judgment of the
nations and the lost would be sent to the Lake of Fire.
Contrary to what many believe, the Bible doesn't say that Christians
will be raptured prior to the coming of the Antichrist and the Great
Tribulation. The apostle Paul said the last trumpet would sound and
the believers who are alive would be raptured in conjunction with
the resurrection of those who died in Christ. This catching away
would not take place until the Antichrist established his throne and
proclaimed his godhood at the temple in Jerusalem. Thirty eight
years after Paul's death, God revealed to John that seven trumpets
would sound. How did Paul know about this trumpet? The obvious
conclusion is that Paul was given supernatural knowledge about the
last trumpet by the Holy Spirit.
The Bible contains a road map of the end times; when teamed up with
discernment from the Holy Spirit, it provides a glimpse of future
events. |
