In the Event of Global Vanishings – Please Read To: A Concerned Person who has no doubt been LEFT BEHIND. From: Pastor Rob Lee Re: Instructions on just what to do, and not do, right now. The fact that you are reading this tells me that you have experienced a traumatic event that has taken place. Millions of people all over the face of the earth have mysteriously disappeared. Millions of men, women, children, toddlers, infants, and even unborn babies are now gone. Although widespread panic has most likely accompanied this phenomenal event, there is an explanation. Please read the following. I am sure by now people are saying that it was UFO’s, aliens from another planet, or a change in the evolutionary process; a ‘selective elimination’ of sorts that caused the disappearances. Some may be saying that the global vanishings were caused by some kind of high-tech weapon that can vaporize people, and children are more susceptible to it. Perhaps there are many other crazy theories. The bottom-line fact is that Jesus Christ has returned for His Church just as He said He would. Just find a Bible and read the following passages: • 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 – Referring to the “catching away” of the saints. • 1 Corinthians 15:51-54 – Referring to those who “shall not all sleep.” • John 11:25-26 – Referring to the Resurrection of Christ’s Church This is an event that has been prophesied in both the Old Testament and New Testament books of the Bible. Many pastors, teachers, scholars, and Christians have also believed in this global rapture event. Christians may have differed on just when the rapture event was to occur, but the fact that you are reading this speaks clearly that it, the rapture, has finally occurred. The global vanishings that have occurred is an event that is referred to as the Rapture of the Church. The term “rapture” is not in our English Bible; however, it comes from the word “raptis” meaning “caught up” from the Latin Vulgate (a Latin version of the Bible). Make no doubt about it, the Rapture has occurred, and you have been left behind. This thought may sound foreign to you or perhaps you already understand about the Rapture of the Church and you are just plain scared. Even in the midst of your fear may I encourage you to take courage and do what Jesus would have you do for such a time as this and in the end, you will find your way home. 2 Timothy 1:7 – “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind.” WHAT TO DO NOW 1. Don’t Panic. God is still in control and His Holy Spirit is still present in the earth. His promises are still just as true and His Word, the Holy Bible, is God’s truth. Even though you have been left behind, it is not too late to accept the Lord into your life as your personal Lord and Savior. The fact that you have been left behind reveals the unsaved condition of your heart. You should be thankful that you didn’t die before the rapture, because if you had, you would be in hell right now. >>> If you are truly repentant of your sin and you truly believe that Jesus Christ is God Almighty and only He can forgive your sin and save you; then pray this prayer, believing in your heart, and you will be saved: “Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner and I know that you died for my sins. I want You to be the Lord of my life, my personal Savior. Please forgive me of my sins and cleanse me from my unrighteousness. Make me a complete person, forgive me, and empower me with Your Holy Spirit. Please help in the days and weeks (months or years) to come for I know they will be difficult. I know I missed the rapture, but I know I can still be saved. I ask You into my heart right now Lord Jesus – Amen.” If you prayed that prayer then you are now saved and you can begin a new life in Christ, one that will ensure your eternal residence in heaven after you die. This is an assurance (a guarantee) that can only come from the Lord. 2 Corinthians 1:22 “…who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.” 2 Corinthians 5:5 “Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.” Ephesians 1:14 “…who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.” You can be saved and know it for sure, by faith in Jesus. Read - Romans 8:16-18 – You are saved if you accept Jesus into your heart. 2. Understand The devil will now move to take control of the earth because the true Church of Jesus Christ has been removed. The devil couldn’t do this before because the believers in Jesus would have taken their rightful authority over him in Jesus’ name. Now that the church has been removed via the rapture, the devil will move to rule over it, but in the end, he will fail, and thus, fulfill biblical prophecy. >>> Read - 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 Please know that many Christians who have just received Jesus will be persecuted and killed. The anti-Christ system can’t have ‘tribulation saints’ as they are called (that’s what you are now if you accepted Jesus) blowing his cover. Besides all of this, the mass persecution and murder of tribulation saints has also been prophesied in Revelation 6:9-11 as the 5th of 21 separate judgments that will be placed upon the earth over the next 7 years. Revelation 6:9-11 “When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.” WHAT’S NEXT: The central focus of the entire world will now move to the middle east. A 7-year peace accord will be strengthened and signed between the nation of Israel and a previously unknown political leader with global influence. This person will no doubt become a world leader, one that will be received by the world as their new ‘savior’. This man is none other than the anti-Christ himself; anything he promises to do is nothing more than a lie (see Daniel 9:24-27). From the exact day this peace accord is signed, you can count the days: It will be 2,520 days or seven Jewish years (360 days per year) until Jesus Christ will return to the earth in His glorious physical appearing. This is known as the Second Coming of Christ. Jesus will establish His millennial kingdom in Jerusalem and for 1,000 years, while the earth experiences peace and prosperity. For now, you will now have to endure a total of 21 separate judgement events from the throne of heaven that will be thrust upon the earth as the Lord judges the people of the earth for their sin. No doubt many people, including many believers, will be killed – perhaps even you. If you accept Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior, you will be saved and when you pass from this life into the next. You will go to heaven because you have confessed Jesus as Lord. The Lord has promised His people a place with Him in heaven if they believe in their heart that He is Lord and confess Him as their personal Savior (John 14:1-4). 3. Identify the anti-Christ This political leader will work alongside another man known in biblical terms as the “False Prophet.” One of these men will be a political leader and the other will be a religious leader. Their religion is false because it denounces Christ as Lord. Their false religion basically says that there are many ways into heaven; but this is just not true. The Bible is clear on this point, there is only ONE WAY into heaven and that is through Jesus Christ (John 14:6). These leaders will eventually get people to take a mark or chip of some sort as an identification device in the right hand or the forehead. Whatever you do, DON’T TAKE THIS MARK! It would be better for you to thirst and starve to death than to take this mark because as sure as you take it, you will have chosen to follow this new world leader and you can’t serve both the Lord and the devil. 4. What about America? We don’t know for sure what happens to America during the tribulation, however we do know that it is no longer the dominant world power. During the “end times” or the “tribulation period” America is no longer a global superpower and we are not sure what happens that causes her demise.
