Bullet Point 11 (of 12) - Last Days Rapture!

Bullet Point 11 (of 12): In the Last Days a 'rapture' will occur. Mostly from Thess.4:16-18, but also from Matt. 24:30,31 & Mk.13:24-27.

Firstly, those who believe in the rapture are naturally discouraged from striving to make changes on this earth, because those who are favored by God are destined to be taken away from the earth by this event.

This flies in the face of what Jesus said to Peter when he blessed him for recognizing him as the Christ, the son of the living God. Matt. 16:19 (and also in Matt.18:18). "...I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” 

Another evidence that expectations of the rapture are frivolous are from the record of how the second coming of Elijah actually occurred. No one knew when the Messiah would come but they knew that Elijah had to come first. There is a record in 2Kings2:11 that Elijah ascended into heaven in a fiery chariot. So, naturally there must have been many who thought that it would be impossible to miss the return of Elijah promised in the Malachi prophecy (Mal.4:5)

Yet, Jesus declared, speaking of John the Baptist, "...And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come." No literal descent from heaven, but another man, born on the earth, with a different name. Similarly the references to the rapture in the Bible are not to be taken literally.
A third reason that the rapture is not something that you should expect, is that there is evidence that the 2nd Coming already took place. And, because it didn't align with the doctrine of the Church centered Christianity, has gone largely unnoticed. If you think this is beyond belief you need to reconsider that the first chosen people still, to this day, are awaiting the first coming. Why should it seem so strange that the 2nd chosen people (aka Christianity) would not make a similar humongous mistake. I am personally of the opinion that Church centered Christians will be among the very last to connect with the 2nd Advent of Christ.

Here is where to check the evidence that the 2 A of Christ took place shortly after WW1.

I delivered Bullet Point 8 to a street in my neighborhood today and, shortly after, the wife of a Sunday School teacher appeared like a thundercloud at my door with the unopened letter returned into our mailbox and stated, in no uncertain terms, that she wanted no more letters from me. Out of the nearly 100 that I gave out it was a Church centered Christian who returned it without even engaging with the different point of view.

It was mankind (1st ancestors) who invited Satan in. So, isn't it more likely that it will not be God, but 'we the people' who should invite Satan out again? Hoping that you'll start to consider putting expectations of 'rapture' in the trash can, where they belong.

Let's get real about our own portion of responsibility with regard to the kingdom of heaven and our relationship with God. Let's think too about True Parents as the goal of restoration history, that were lost with the Fall of Man, rather than thinking about the terms Christ, or Messiah. St Paul did, rightly, equate Jesus with Adam after all. 

Here is an invitation to a Spring Workshop (March 18-20) with one of the topics being, "True Parents and the Completed Testament Age." It can be attended in person at a mountain retreat in West Virginia, USA, or on-line.

    I came to Christ through the Lord at His Second Coming. I have been connected with what some would regard as a ‘New Age cult’ for more than 40 years. I want, through this website, to share what I’ve come to understand, and show that it stands up to scrutiny, and criticism.

    Until quite recently I had regarded Christians as the enemy of the Lord of the Second Advent! But then, through Rev. Moon’s successor, Hyung Jin Moon, after his ‘Breaking the Silence’ (2015 January) where he emphasized the Bible (KJV) and spoke almost exclusively of Jesus, grace and faith I decided to connect with a Christian church (Belmont Church in Harrow, London, UK) to find out about these aspects of faith and grace which I had no idea about.

    My strength was the words of truth, as I saw it, that were contained in the ‘Exposition of the Divine Principle’. This is the basic teaching of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon that, for me, made sense of the Bible.

    That Hyung Jin Moon (aka Sean Moon) has since become irrelevant is regrettable but should not become a stumbling block. The 8 Great Sacred Texts (available on the Resources page) constitute the New Age Truth that we need to connect with (from the Lord of the Second Coming) and, I believe, these are absolute.

    So began a journey that opened up the teaching of Rev Moon to an understanding where I came to realize that I am a Christian, Jesus IS the Messiah (as opposed to was the Messiah) and a complete reappraisal of this teaching which is what I want to share through this means.

    OK; there are abridged explanations and sudden conclusions already but I will deal with those if you write to me; let us reason together - and test all things and hold fast to what is good! Also a lot of these can be overcome by reading, "The Exposition of the Divine Principle".

    Thanks for engaging with this and I hope to hear from you so that we can share together as brothers and sisters in Christ and arrive at an understanding of the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven that is more to do with 1 Corinthians 3:16 than John 3:16 Thank You for visiting this website.

    Let us reason together . . .
