THE SEVEN THINGS THAT MUST HAPPEN BEFORE THE RAPTURE AND RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST

-2 Thessalonians 2: 1 - 8

1.      The Spirit must first be poured upon all flesh unprecedentedly. The children of God shall display the power of the world to come - Joel 2: 23, 28 - 29, Acts 1: 8, Deut. 11: 4, Zech. 10: 1, Heb. 6: 5

2.      The Gospel must be preached to all nooks and crannies of the nations unprecedentedly - Mathew 24: 13 - 14, Mark 13: 9 - 10, Isa. 28: 16 - 17. (For the end result of this work, please see Rev. 7: 9 - 17; 14: 14 - 16; 15: 1 - 4; 20: 4 - 6)

3.      The Church of Jesus Christ on earth will unify and all manmade and satanic barriers and shame will be done away with - John 13: 34 - 35; 17: 20 - 23, Psalms 102: 13 - 22, Mathew 12: 25

4.      The Man of Sin and perdition - the Chief Anti - Christ must hold away and dominate the world - Isa. 33: 1, Dan. 11: 36 - 39, Rev. 13: 1 - 10, 2Thess. 2: 1 - 12, Rev. 19: 20. His side kick and co-adventurer, the False Prophet will also be a world dominator - Rev. 13: 11 - 18, Mathew 24: 24, Deut. 13: 1 - 3, 13, Rev. 19: 20

5.      The Special Prophets and Servants of God - God's Chief Two Witnesses must hold sway, preach the Gospel, manifest God's power to the world and be the first to be Raptured in the Church - Rev. 11: 3 - 14, Zech. 4: 3 - 14

6.      The Unique and Spotless Servants of God chosen from the Hebrews - 144, 000 of them must preach and spread the Gospel to the world - Rev. 7: 1 - 8; 14: 1 - 5

7.      The following CORE SIGNS amongst all the signs of the prophets and of Jesus Christ prophesied, must be fulfilled (chronologically):

i.        The 7 years peace pact or covenant in the Middle - East must be signed by Israel and her neighbours - Daniel 9: 27

ii.      The 7 years peace pact or covenant in the Middle - East will be abolished or collapse half way i.e. after 3 ½ years - Dan. 9: 27; 11: 28, 30

iii.    The "Horrible Thing" or "Abomination That Makes Desolate" (Ending of daily sacrifices, Desecration of Temple, Anti-Christ proclamation to be God) must be carried out by the Chief Anti-Christ in Israel’s resuscitated Temple worship - Mathew 24: 15, Mark 13: 14, Dan. 9: 26b - 27; 11: 31, 36

iv.     Israel will be conquered by the Anti-Christ. Jerusalem shall be taken by the Gentiles and trodden down - Luke 21: 20 - 24

v.       Israelis will suffer unfettered persecutions and be dispersed among the nations. Many will be killed - Luke 21: 20 - 24

vi.     The Church of Jesus Christ on earth will be harangued and endure all kinds of persecutions. Many will be martyred - Luke 21: 12 - 19

vii.   The Hebrews must with shame turn to God and acknowledge and surrender their lives to Jesus Christ whom they rejected for thousands of years (Mathew 23: 37 - 39). Even then, the Bible says only a remnant shall survive - Isaiah 10: 20 - 23, Romans 11: 25 - 29, Zech. 13: 8 - 9

viii. The last set of signs must happen as Jesus Christ shows up - The sun will become dark, the moon will turn blood, the stars will not give their lights, unusual tsunamis (earthquakes in the oceans and land) will occur and demon powers of the heavens will be cast down and displaced - Luke 21: 25 - 28, Rev. 6: 12 - 17 

(OUR RAPTURE REDEMPTION AT THE RETURN OF CHRIST)

"Then A SIGN will appear in the sky. And there will be the Son of man..." (Mathew 24: 30, CEV). What is this very last sign that is a prelude to the Rapture and return of the Lord? This is the answer: Luke 17: 24, 37, Mathew 24: 27 - 28 and Revelation 6: 14a.

"At the sound of a loud trumpet, He will send his angels to bring his chosen ones together from all over the earth... Two men will be in the same field, but only one will be taken. The other will be left. Two women will be together grinding grain, but only one will be taken. The other will be left" (Mathew 24: 31, 40 - 41, CEV (1Cor. 15: 51 - 53, 1Thess. 4: 15 - 17, Mathew 13: 40 - 43).

(Remember, where the Spirit is, the people of God will gather - Luke 17: 34, 37, Mathew 24: 27 - 28, Col 3: 4, 1John 3: 2).

The Bible says, RETURNING WITH JESUS CHRIST to the earth for the battle of Armageddon are the overcomers, the more than conquerors and those who endured and made it to the end: Rev. 17: 14 and 19: 14.
