WHAT TO DO IN CASE YOU MISS THE RAPTURE

WHAT TO DO IN CASE YOU MISS THE RAPTURE
 
        Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour knoweth no
man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

        37 "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be.

        38 "For as in the days that were before the flood they
were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

        39 "And knew not until the flood came, and took them
all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

        40 "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.

        41 "Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one
shall be taken, and the other left.

        42 "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your
Lord doth come.

        43 "But know this, that if the goodman of the house
had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have
watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken
up.
        44 "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as
ye think not the Son of man cometh."
 
        Some day soon, the Lord Jesus Christ is going to
return and take all the born again Christians to heaven. 
These instructions are written to the people who are left
behind, to tell them what to do after they have missed the
Rapture.  We are warning you about this now, because we won't
be around then.  All of these instructions are found in the
Holy Bible, which is the first thing you're going to need to
find out what is going on.
 
1.  DON'T GET EXCITED.
 
        If you never worried about the Rapture before it
happened, then it is absolutely useless to worry about it
after it's already over.  If you had wanted to get right with
God before the Rapture, you could have, but you chose to wait. 
Now your only chance is to stay on the earth and to endure to
the end of the Tribulation.  Matthew 24:13 says, "But he that
shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."  It is
useless for you to bang your head on the wall and scream and
holler.
 
        The Christians are gone--they are all gone.  If you
had a little baby, the little baby is gone.  Sin is not
imputed when there is no law (Romans 5:13).  Sin is not
charged while the child is still innocent, so you don't have
to worry about the baby.  The baby is with Jesus.
 
2.  START WORKING YOUR WAY TO HEAVEN.
 
        If the Lord comes and you remain behind, then start
working like a madman to get to heaven, because you're going
to have to.  You have entered a period of time called "The
Great Tribulation," and the plan of salvation in the
Tribulation is faith in Jesus Christ plus your own good works.
 
        Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood
of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they
loved not their lives unto the death."
 
        Revelation 6:9 "...I saw under the altar the souls of
them that were slain for the word of God, and for the
testimony which they held...."
 
        Revelation 14:12 "Here is the patience of the saints:
here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith
of Jesus."
 
        Revelation 22:14 "Blessed are they that do his
commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city."
 
        Revelation 7:14 "...These are they which came out of
great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them
white in the blood of the Lamb."
 
        You must keep the Ten Commandments (all of them,
Ecclesiastes 12:13), keep the Golden Rule (I John 3:10), give
your money to the poor, get baptized, take up your cross, hold
out to the end of the Tribulation, wait for Jesus Christ to
show up at the Battle of Armageddon, and be prepared to die
for what you believe.  In the Tribulation you cannot be saved
by grace alone, like you could before the Rapture.
 
        Before the Rapture, you could have been saved by grace
through faith plus nothing (Ephesians 2:8-9), but one minute
after the Rapture took place you must get out the Ten
Commandments and the Golden Rule and start learning them,
because you're going to be judged by them (Matthew 25:31-46). 
The way to get to heaven in the Tribulation is to earn it:  do
right by God, and do right by your fellow man, as well.
 
        Isaiah 1:16 "Wash you, make you clean; put away the
evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil
        17 "Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the
oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow."
 
3.  DON'T TAKE ANY MARK OR ANY NUMBER.
 
        The Bible says whosoever takes the mark of the beast
goes to Hell.
 
        Revelation 14:9 "And the third angel followed them,
saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his
image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
        10 "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of
God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his
indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone
in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the
Lamb:
        11 "And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for
EVER AND EVER: and they have no rest day nor night, who
worship the best and his image, and whosoever receiveth the
mark of his name."
 
        When somebody comes around and wants to put any number
on your body or give you a number, especially the number 6-6-
6, DO NOT take it.  People have heard so much about the "mark
of the beast" that they think it's a joke that will never
happen.  Well, a few decades ago in Germany, every Jew was
required to wear a six pointed star.  It would be just as easy
for the government to require every citizen to take a number
and a mark.
 
        In the book of Revelation a man shows up on this earth
called the Antichrist.  His number is 666.  He comes from
Rome.  He has connections with Moscow, but he comes from Rome
(Revelation 17:18).  This fellow will take over the entire
world and become the main political and religious leader. 
When he does, he will pass legislation and establish a global
economic system, designed so that you can't buy, sell, or eat
unless you take his mark or the number of his name.  Now, it
isn't that you won't have enough money.  You will be in a
store, buying your groceries, and when you get in line they
will say, "Put your hand in the machine."  You put your hand
in the machine, and if that mark shows up in your hand, you
can take the groceries, and if it doesn't, you can't buy
anything no matter how much money you have.
 
        Revelation 13:16 "And he causeth all, both small and
great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark IN
THEIR RIGHT HAND, OR IN THEIR FOREHEADS:
        17 "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that
had THE MARK, OR THE NAME OF THE BEAST, OR THE NUMBER OF HIS
NAME.
        18 "Here is wisdom.  Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man;
and his number is SIX HUNDRED THREESCORE AND SIX."
 
        It must be a terrible thing to be a mother and hear
your little baby cry for milk and be unable to get any milk. 
It would be a terrible thing to have your baby crying, "Momma,
I'm hungry," and the fellow at the store saying, "Lady, all
you got to do is get this mark."
 
        They will tell you to conform.  They will point out
that even the world leaders have the mark.  Presidents, kings,
queens, prime ministers, governors, mayors, city councilmen,
neighbors, friends, and even relatives have the mark.  It's
only the Bible that says it's wrong.
 
        The baby is sick and you want medicine:  "Do you have
the mark?"  You pull into a gas station:  "You got the mark?" 
It doesn't matter whether or not they have the gas, it matters
if you have the mark.
 
        Don't take a mark, and don't take a number.  You will
go to Hell if you do.  The Bible says so; if you don't believe
this article, then check it out; read the Bible for yourself.
 
4.  GET FANATICAL.
 
        Be a religious fanatic.  Die as a martyr.  Be
fanatical after Christ comes, because when Christ catches the
Christians off this earth and takes them up, you are going to
be up against the devil, with his people trying to control you
or kill you.
 
        Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood
of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they
loved not their lives unto the death."
        Revelation 14:12 "Here is the patience of the saints:
here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith
of Jesus.
        13 "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from
their labours; and their works do follow them."
 
        If somebody calls you in and says, "Raise your hand
and swear by God that the Antichrist is King of kings and Lord
of lords," then keep your hand down, and say, "Jesus Christ is
the Lord."  Stand up against your friends, and against your
boss, and against the way your parents raised you.  It is too
late to give up a few hours on Sunday for the Lord.  In the
Tribulation you may have to lose your job for the Bible, lose
your money for religious convictions, and lose your life for
the Lord Jesus Christ.
 
        Most people were indifferent to God, indifferent to
the Bible, indifferent to Christ, and indifferent to the
Second Coming.  The only thing that upset most people was what
affected their finances or their egos.  But now in the
Tribulation you have to put first things first.  Nobody in the
Tribulation gets to heaven unless he escapes the Antichrist,
or else he faces the Antichrist and refuses to take the mark
of the beast or the number and has his head cut off.
 
        Revelation 20:4 "...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."
 
5.  SUPPORT THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
 
        When Jesus returns at the Second Coming, all will face
"The Judgment of Nations":
 
        Matthew 25:31 "When the Son of man shall come in his
glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit
upon the throne of his glory:
        32 "And before him shall be gathered all nations: and
he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd
divideth his sheep from the goats:"
 
        The test for a Gentile is how he treated Jesus's
brethren: the Jews.  Remember Hitler?  Well, the Antichrist
will be ten times worse.  At first, he will negotiate a peace
treaty with the nation of Israel (Isaiah 28:15), but three and
a half years later he will break the covenant and try to
destroy them (Daniel 9:27; Mark 13:13-25; Matthew 24:4-51). 
But whatever you do, don't assist the Holocaust, because the
Lord will judge anyone who stops the Jews from escaping:
 
        Obadiah 14 "Neither shouldest thou have stood in the
crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither
shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain
in the day of distress.
        15 "For the day of the LORD is near upon all the
heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy
reward shall return upon thine own head."
 
        Always help the Jewish people.  Go against the
government, go against established religion, be willing even
to sacrifice yourself and your family to save the lives of
Jews, because they are God's people, and He gave them His
blessing.  He said to their father Abraham:
 
        Genesis 12:3 "And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all
families of the earth be blessed."
 
        Later, God said to the nation of Israel:
 
        Isaiah 41:11 "Behold, all they that were incensed
against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as
nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish."
 
        So no matter how much pressure you are put under,
never hut a Jew.  Your own soul depends upon it.
 
        What you should have done was to get saved BEFORE the
Rapture.  However, the vast majority of people on this earth
missed out on the Rapture.  This is because there has never
been a time in history when the majority were right about
spiritual things.  Jesus Christ was the one who said, "BROAD
is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and MANY there be
which go in thereat" (Matthew 7:13).  The same Saviour said,
"The love of MANY shall wax cold...MANY shall be
offended...MANY false prophets shall rise" (Matthew 24:10-12). 
The world does not care to believe these warnings, exactly as
it rejected the warnings in Noah's day of the coming Deluge
which was to destroy all of the civilizations of that time. 
For more than 120 years before the Flood, men were warned
about the approaching catastrophe.  It came.  Christ said, "AS
IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOE, so shall it be also in the days of
THE SON OF MAN" (Luke 17:26).
 
        If you were in the company of a saved person when the
Rapture took place, you have no doubt about the catastrophe,
for you found yourself standing next to a heap of clothing
soaked in blood (I Corinthians 15:50).  The terrible and
tragic truth is apparent that the believers have gone and you
are left behind.  The prophetic word says that you are now in
"the time of Jacob's {Israel's} trouble" (Jeremiah 30:7),
which Christ called "great tribulation" (Matthew 24:21).  This
period of time will be approximately SEVEN years long and has
been referred to by Biblical scholars as "Daniel's Seventieth
Week" (Daniel 9).  If the Rapture has preceded your reading of
this article, then you are NOW in this period.  This period
will be unparalleled in trouble and horror.  Jesus Christ
said:
 
        Matthew 24:21 "For then shall be great tribulation,
such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time,
no, nor ever shall be."
 
        Now what must you do?  You have to do all the things
explained above, and you must do them quickly and thoroughly
if you ever hope to obtain eternal salvation and be accepted
by God.  If you want to know whether or not these instructions
are absolute truth or only someone's opinion, get a Bible as
quickly as you can and read Matthew 24 and 25, Hebrews 6 and
10, and Revelation 13 and 19.
 
        Start now.  The salvation of your soul depends upon
it.  Act now and determine that, come what may, you will not
take "THE MARK OF THE BEAST."  You still have a chance to be
saved, but this time you will have to be "FAITHFUL UNTO
DEATH."
 
        You may have anywhere from a month to seven years
until the Second Coming, depending upon when you read these
lines.  But the Great Tribulation will end, and it will end
with "THE GLORIOUS APPEARING OF THE GREAT GOD AND OUR SAVIOUR
JESUS CHRIST" (Titus 2:13).  May God find you ready in that
hour.
 
WARNING!!  Almost all of the past Christian literature about
the way of salvation is now obsolete.  Beware that you are not
deceived:
 
Matthew 24:11 "And many false prophets shall rise, and shall
deceive many."
 
        If the Rapture has not taken place as yet, don't
        procrastinate: tomorrow may really be too late.
 
        II Corinthians 6:2 "...behold, now is the accepted
        time; behold, now is the day of salvation."
 
        If this sounds like foolishness to you, consider this
        verse:
 
        I Corinthians 2:14 "But the natural {unsaved} man
receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they
are spiritually discerned."
