Revelation 14;19-20 Part 2

19 So the angel swung his scythe on the earth and stripped the grapes and gathered the vintage from the vines of the earth and cast it into the huge winepress of God's indignation and wrath. 

20 And [the grapes in] the winepress were trodden outside the city, and blood poured from the winepress, [reaching] as high as horses' bridles, for a distance of 1,600 stadia (about 200 miles).

Jesus tells us in Matthew and Luke about the end times.

Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary. Matthew 13:30

I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left. There will be two women grinding together; one will be taken and the other will be left. Luke 17:34-35

Then they asked Him, Where, Lord? He said to them, Wherever the dead body is, there will the vultures or eagles be gathered together. Luke 17:37

Jesus tells us that the tares, or the darnel, will be first gathered. Jesus then tells us that the tares who are taken will be taken to where the vultures are gathered together to consume their dead bodies. 

And the rest were killed with the sword that issues from the mouth of Him Who is mounted on the horse, and all the birds fed ravenously and glutted themselves with their flesh. Revelation 19:21

The Holy Spirit has me talk about the lie of the pre-tribulation rapture a lot. There has been a common theme that people use with me over the years regarding the pre-tribulation rapture and it is that it doesn’t matter. They say that if they are here, great, God is with them, and if they are gone, great, because God is with them. But the Truth is what set's us free and the Truth is that Jesus tells us that the tares, not the wheat, are first gathered. This Truth will set us free because it gives us the hope of being used by our Father in such a powerful way during the end times. Faith comes for us from hearing the Truth. We need faith, authored and finished by Jesus, to actually desire to be used to serve those in need at His return.

There is going to be a great falling away during the end times. I believe that this is because people who believe in a pre-tribulation rapture will still believe that it is coming. So they will think that the anti-christ is not the anti-christ, because they are still here on the earth. They will not abandon church, they will flood to the anti-christ’s church. They will marvel at his speech and the miracles that he performs. All because they will still believe in a rapture that is not coming. They will hate us because we will be telling them the Truth, while they are seeing the anti-christ’s miracles. They will be thinking of themselves, that is what believing in a pre-tribulation rapture does. Wanting a rapture causes people think about taking care of themselves and not others. The world needs us now, how much more will they need us during the end times? 

Let the Truth of the scriptures set you free to have the faith to desire to be used mightily during the end times; the time when the lost need us the most. Desire to think of others above yourself. The Holy Spirit will use the Truth of our Father’s Word to give you the mind of Christ, the Mind that doesn’t worry about suffering for the well being of other’s.
