Most 'Christians' are being raised with and taught the pre-trib rapture teaching... saying, if you make it to the rapture alive then you won't die... you will skip death and just be transformed and meet him in the air.
That's a lie.
First truth: The Bible says Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die...
This is a literal appointment that nobody gets out of... unless your name is Enoch or Elijah.
This is covered in Matthew 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
So, die before the rapture or die at the rapture. Either way... you're going to die. If you die after that then, well, that means you're bound for hell... after you die.
Second truth: Most believers will be killed before the rapture. I'm sorry. That's just what the Bible says.
Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Third truth: the way believers die is not going to be fun BUT, if you get to die that way then you get something special to look forward to.
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Sounds like if you don't worship the beast, nor his image, nor receive his mark upon your forehead or in your hands then you will reign with Christ for a thousand years. You just have to have your head cut off. That's all. AND, the good news is... most everybody on earth will be happy to do that for you. The sad news is they will die and go to hell afterwards. Don't worry. I imagine after a thousand years you will hardly remember a thing.
If preachers only preached THAT on Easter Sunday. Hey! Get you head cut off for Jesus' sake! And rule a thousand years!
Put that on your tombstone. (I should probably stop writing blogs after 11 pm.)
