Introduction
The hour had come, for those left behind.
When the midnight cry is given and suddenly Jesus Christ (the Bridegroom) calls on arrival, millions of those that sleep in Christ and those who are alive and remain, (the Bride elect) will be changed in a twinkling of an eye; and shall put on immortality, to meet the Lord in the air. And the door was shut. If you are still on earth you have been left behind. The good news is if you can go through the great tribulation without taking the mark of the beast, his name or number or worship him, even if you lose your life there’s still hope for you. But what guarantee do you have on surviving the great tribulation? Why take such a gamble with eternity? Believe, follow and worship Jesus Christ today, before it is late.
After the door is closed, (millions will be found missing because the translation or rapture had taken place, and multitudes were left behind) the antichrist will have an open day to commit the unpardonable. As he begins to prepare to take over rulership of the world, and declare himself the solution to the world’s problems and later claims to be God. Have you ever imagined the sheer panic, confusion, fear, denial and bitterness that will engulf the world when people realize that those who have come up missing will never be found here on earth again? The change of laws will come into effect almost immediately. A state of emergency will be declared and freedom will begin to disappear, and new forms of identification will begin to emerge, leading to the mark of the beast. A family of five may find 4 missing from the dinner table, their clothes abandoned on their empty dinner chairs.This is about to happen. You will either be translated or left behind to face the great tribulation. The moment to think things over before it is too late would have passed away. Prepare to meet thy God (Amos 4:12) was gone. Jesus Christ said, “For then shall be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be”, (Matt. 24:21). That hour had come, and if you were here on earth, the tribulation had begun.
Meditate about these things.
Do you realize that He who created the heavens and the earth made this statement? He also said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away, (Matt 24:35). Whatever He said must come to pass, including the translation and the great tribulation. The Midnight Cry had come and gone and the door was shut. Persecution and betrayals were the high points before the door was shut. These now flow into a time of unparalleled anarchy on earth. It all started unnoticed, but in deceit as the white horse in Rev. 6:2, rode. There would be a lot of false peace moves. A false religious spirit will take the whole world captive except the true elect. Today, the world is very religious, but full of deception and the masses cannot see it. Because people received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved, God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie, (2nd Thess. 2:10-11). This is a religious spirit dominating people on the white horse. It is deceit and false religious presentation. It helps prepare and deceive the masses toward the great tribulation. The same rider shows up on a red horse of wars and killings, through all means that include false religion, political, economic, military, scientific and greed. Then suddenly the rider appears on a black horse with a measuring scale or balance. Drought, famine, hunger, shortage of resources begin to plague mankind. Then between the black horse and the pale horse ridden by the same rider, the midnight cry will occur. The door will be shut. The pale horse rider called Death, and Hell followed with him, as he began to manifest the meaning of his name, (Rev. 6:8). And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. What chance does one have outside of Jesus Christ, being left behind after the door was shut?
The door was shut
Between the black horse and the pale horse, the door was shut. The foolish virgins of Matt. 25:11-12, “Afterwards came also, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But He answered and said, “Verily I say unto you, I know you not.” When the door is shut, the Lord does not know you, till He comes to intervene at Armageddon. You had been left behind. Can one survive without taking the mark, name or number of the beast? When the fifth seal was opened, “I saw the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held, “ (Rev. 6:9). And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?”(Rev. 6:10).
The elect that made the translation and went through the door before it was shut, and were with the Lord in heaven. But those against whom the door was shut who came knocking, calling Him Lord, Lord, were on earth. (Which group will you really belong to then?). They would be going through the tribulation and getting ready to enter into the last forty two months called the great tribulation.They would witness the seven trumpets and seven vials of God’s judgment. Before these deadly judgments came, the sixth seal was opened.
Meditate more about these things.
The sixth seal is one that gives a preview of what the coming judgment would look like, Rev. 6:12-17. It is either you love His (Jesus Christ) appearing, or you have no choice but to love the appearing of the sixth seal. If you are on earth to see and partake of the sixth seal it means you were left behind, and will witness Armageddon, if you are alive.
At the fourth seal of the book of Revelation, it was evident that the story of the seven church ages was over. The church ages ran out because the elect had been translated. The four beasts before the throne (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John church ministries) were over protecting and watching over the Word to the church. The Christians that are left behind after the translation, if they hold on to the end, will be the rescued ones, called the “tribulation saints”, (Rev. 7: 9-17). Why on earth would you desire and work towards becoming a tribulation saint? Think it over while it is called today and quicken your pace.
In Rev. 6: 9, the fifth seal was opened. The four beasts spoke no more, for the elect was gone off the earth in the translation. The fifth seal reads, “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.” Before all these judgments hit the earth people, two important things occur because God will not bring his beloved into judgment. The elect in Christ, and the Jews according to the promise of God unto Abraham, his remnants are, the Lord’s delight. The two crucial things that happen almost simultaneously are the translation of the elect and the sealing of the elected 144 thousand Jews. In Rev. 7:1-3, “And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. —And another angel,- –saying, hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants (Jews) of our God in their fore-heads.” These things occurred around the removal of the bride in the translation and sealing of the Jews of God’s promise to Abraham. Then the sixth seal will begin to unfold God’s judgments. Have you imagined what earth will look and feel like when the winds are held, not to blow, how do people breathe? God will not allow the true believers to witness that, for they are already translated, and He protects the 144 thousand, and judgment follows.
The fifth seal will reveal those who are killed for their faith, after the sudden translation which they missed. The persecution on earth will be unimaginable. The false prophet and the antichrist will be in position and in full manifestation. Their army of deceivers will be in operation. Technology will be unbelievable, as there will be no place to hide from the eyes of the serpent in the sky, (satelites). The last three and half years will seem as eternity during the rule of the antichrist. But God is still in charge. Don’t take the mark of the beast that will be offered to all dwelling on the earth then. The only hope then is to be martyred for Christ Jesus. Taking the mark will be eternal damnation.
