They Say That Today, May 21, At 6 PM Eastern Standard Time, The Rapture Will Occur

Take notice! I tell you a mystery (a secret truth, an event decreed by the hidden purpose or counsel of God). We shall not all fall asleep [in death], but we shall all be changed (transformed). In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the [sound of the] last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead [in Christ] will be raised imperishable (free and immune from decay), and we shall be changed (transformed). 1 Corinthians 15:51-52


The seventh angel then blew [his] trumpet, and there were mighty voices in heaven, shouting, The dominion (kingdom, sovereignty, rule) of the world has now come into the possession and become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ (the Messiah), and He shall reign forever and ever (for the eternities of the eternities)! Revelation 11:15


For this we declare to you by the Lord's [own] word, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall in no way precede [into His presence] or have any advantage at all over those who have previously fallen asleep [in Him in death]. 1 Thessalonians 4:15


These four verses show us plainly that there will be no rapture today. If there were a pre-tribulation rapture today, then these verses would be incorrect and the last 3 1/2 years, which would have had to have been the Great Tribulation, were pretty easy to endure.


Before we can go to be with Jesus, our brothers and sisters who have died in Him have to be raised first. We who are living in Christ can in no way precede the dead in Christ. The dead in Christ cannot be raised until the last trumpet is sounded. The last trumpet is the Seventh Trumpet, and when it sounds, Jesus returns to take over the rule of the earth. The living in Christ are not taken away seven years before He returns. Where would we go, because according to the Bible, we could not go to be with Jesus? If we did, then we would have preceded the dead in Christ to be with Him. So relax, there is no pre-tribulation rapture today.

I am thankful that our Father has used me to share His Truth, it's what sets us free.

I am sure that a lot of people may believe what is being reported on and are scared. But hopefully our Father will inspire them into the Word and it will actually help them in the long run.
