THE LAST TRUMPET
Let`s reason something out here: Common theology, preaching, teaching pouts that Jesus is coming back for His Church, His Bride BEFORE the great tribulation starts: Some are even postulating that His return for His Bride (without spot or blemish) will be MID-tribulation.
OK then; Would you all agree that when He does come for His Elect, then “a great sound of a trumpet” will be heard? Math. 24/31, 1 Cor. 15/52, 1 Thes. 4/16, (the three of these scripture references documenting the “upward call”, the “catching away”, the “seizing up by force” when Christ comes to take His Elect to Himself):
On each occasion,
a “trumpet” is mentioned: Math. 24/31, “a great sound of a trumpet, in 1 Thes.
4/16 we see not only the “trump of God”, but also “a shout, with the voice of
the
………………………………….THE LAST TRUMP:…………………………………..
“last”, “exchatos”, meaning the extreme, MOST REMOTE,
ORDER OF NUMBER, THE LAST:
So, let`s think about this, If Christ is coming for His Elect pre-tribulation or mid-tribulation, announced by the sound of “THE TRUMP”, then, that must mean that there is going to be ANOTHER TRUMP sounded when He returns to put an end to the party on planet Earth:
Hang on a minute, that would then mean that when the Apostle Paul said in 1 Cor. 15/52 “THE LAST TRUMP”, he doesn`t know what he is saying, or he is contradicting himself, because then the “catching away”, “the upward call”, would not happen at “THE LAST TRUMP”, BECAUSE THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE ANOTHER TRUMP FOLLOWING WHEN JESUS COMES BACK, (for a third time, what rot, rubbish, where in Holy Scripture does it say He makes THREE appearances on Earth?), TO DEFEAT THE ARMIES OF THE ANTICHRIST AND THE DEVIL ( Rev. 19/11-21, 20/1-4).
It`s not hard to reason is it? The “last trump”, is the, “last trump”, which is when all things will be set right. The Elect of Loving Father Son and Holy Ghost will be “caught up”, the armies that have gathered together to make war with the Son of God shall be dealt with and His millennial rule will start.
Oh, I see, you are going to try to tell us that the Elect mentioned in Math. 24/31, line up with Rev. 20/4, and Rev. 15/2, is about the Elect who were beheaded because they didn`t receive the mark of the beast: You are going to try to convince us that these were those who were only saved during the great tribulation, and were not, (that is most of them), saved BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION:
WHERE IN HOLY WRIT DOES IT AFFIRM DOCTRINE THAT
DIVIDES THE ELECT INTO TWO, THOSE WHO ARE “CAUGHT UP” PRE-TRIBULATION, AND
THOSE WHO ARE SAVED DURING THE TRIBULATION?
WHERE IN HOLY DOGMA CAN YOU SHOW US A DEFINITE
SCRIPTURE THAT POINTS TO THOSE WHO ARE SAVED AND, “RAPTURED”, (no such word), PRE-
TRIBULATION, AND THOSE WHO ARE SAVED DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION: (I do not
dispute there will be souls saved during the great tribulation, obviously,
there will be):
IF THIS IS SO,
THEN WHY DIDN`T CHRIST DELCARE IT PLAINLY IN MATH. 24, MK. 13, AND LUKE 21???? HE
MAKES NO REFERENCE ABOUT “HIS ELECT” NOT
BEING ON EARTH DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION,……
ON THE CONTRARY, EVERYTHING WE READ, HE IS ENCOURAGING, AND ADMONISHING HIS ELECT TO,…. “BE NOT TROUBLED”, “THEY SHALL DELIVER YOU UP TO BE AFFLICTED”, “HATED OF ALL NATIONS FOR MY NAME`S SAKE”, “MANY SHALL BE OFFENDED”, “BECAUSE INIQUITY SHALL ABOUND, THE LOVE OF MANY SHALL WAX COLD”, (does that sound like those who give their lives to Christ DURING the tribulation? Are you really going to try to tell me, that these folk having experienced the hardship of the tribulation, decide to convert, give their lives to Jesus, then they decide that, aww gee, it`s too tough, I can`t handle this, they decide to become apostate? HOW RIDICULOUS:), “HE THAT SHALL ENDURE UNTO THE END, THE SAME SHALL BE SAVED”, “BUT FOR THE ELECT`S SAKE THOSE DAYS SHALL BE SHORTENED”, WATCH YE THEREFORE: FOR YE KNOW NOT WHAT HOUR YOUR LORD DOTH COME”,
ALL THIS, HE IS
SPEAKING TO US NOW, AND IT`S TO DO WITH OUR CONDUCT DURING THIS TIME OF GREAT TRIBULATION:
Oh, I suppose also that you are going to try to convince us that the Elect are already in Heaven because Rev. 19/14 says that “the armies which were in Heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean”.
Of course these “armies” wouldn`t be those who are
asleep in Christ would they? As well as the Holy Angels?
“Therefore we are always confident, knowing that,
whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by
faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say and willing rather to be ABSENT
FROM THE BODY, AND TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD”. 2 COR. 5/6-8.
OF COURSE THEY ARE, AND THEY SHALL RETURN WITH THE
LORD OF GLORY ON THAT DAY, “SPIRITS OF JUST MEN MADE PERFECT”, HEB. 12/23, READY
TO RECEIVE THEIR EARTHLY, VILE BODIES RESURRECTED/RAISED OUT OF THE GRAVE,
CORRUPTION PUTTING ON INCORRUPTION, MORTALITY PUTTING ON IMMORTALITY, BEING
TRANSFORMED INTO HAVING A “BODY LIKE UNTO HIS GLORIOUS BODY”……………………1 COR.
15/52-54. PHIL. 3/21.
“THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP
TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR” AND SO SHALL WE
EVER BE WITH THE LORD”. 1 THES. 4/17. ("AND THIS IS THE FATHER`S WILL
WHICH HATH SENT ME, THAT OF ALL WHICH HE HATH GIVEN ME I SHOULD LOSE NOTHING,
BUT SHOULD RAISE IT UP AGAIN AT THE LAST DAY." JOHN 6/39. "AND
THIS IS THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT ME, THAT EVERY ONE WHICH SEETH THE SON, AND
BELIEVETH ON HIM, MAY HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE: AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE
LAST DAY." JOHN 6/40. "NO MAN CAN C0OME TO ME, EXCEPT THE FATHER
WHICH HATH SENT ME DRAW HIM: AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY."
JOHN 6/44. "WHOSO EATETH MY FLESH, AND DRINKETH MY BLOOD, HATH ETERNAL
LIFE; AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY." JOHN 6/54.
"last" "exchatos", same word used
in 1 Cor. 15/52 for "last trumpet".).
THEN WE SHALL WITNESS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE
ANTICHRIST “WITH THE SPIRIT OF HIS MOUTH AND THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING”, 2
THES 2/8, THE BEAST, AND THE FALSE PROPHET “CAST…ALIVE…INTO THE
Please note Rev. 19/7-8: “Let us be glad and rejoice,
and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath
made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine
linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints”.
Just precedes, is close to, is basically the same day as His return to Earth
documented in the rest of Rev. 19.
Well, how about that, the “upward call” and “the great
and terrible day of the Lord” are one and the same day:
“But after thy hardness and impenitent heart,
treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the
righteous judgment of God; who will render to every man according to his deeds:
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and
immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey
the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Ro. 2/5-8.
“Pre-tribulation rapture”? (no such word), “mid-tribulation rapture”? (no such word), just another “doctrine of man”, convenient dogma, (“doctrine of the Nicolaitanes which thing I hate saith the Lord”), conjured up to placate fears and tickle itching ears of the ones who are lukewarm, Samaritan, idolatrous, adulterous, vacillating, lovers of the things of this world religious hypocrites, who are deluded into thinking they can use Loving Father Son and Holy Ghost like a life insurance policy FOR ETERNITY,…..without fully committing themselves 100% to Him,… “not forsaking all to follow Him, loving not their own lives unto death”:
A tenet formulated in the minds of reprobate men so as to give “kletos”, (called ones), who have not yet made their “calling and election SURE”, (remember? “bebaios”, that which is fixed, certain, sure?) absolution from the mental torment, FEAR, of being on Earth during the great tribulation, because they have not established themselves in a loving, fully trusting, surrendered and meek relationship with our Lord Christ, because if they had, they would not fear going through the great tribulation, just as Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego were not afraid, fully trusting in Loving Father, whether they were to burn, or be preserved by Him: Dan. 3/16-18. “PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR”. 1 JOHN 4/18. “HE THAT FEARETH IS NOT MADE PERFECT IN LOVE”.
Puts a whole new light on things doesn`t it: That means that if we are going through the great tribulation, then we shall have to be in that place of perfect peace, trust, surrender and have faith that He will “tereo”, “keep”, remember?, “guard”, “keep”, “protect”, “watch over”, “preserve” us during the tribulation: Rev. 3/10, Jude 1:
IT MEANS WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE TRUST AND HAVE FAITH THAT HE WILL FEED US, SHELTER US, CLOTHE
US, PROTECT US, TAKE CARE OF ALL OF OUR NEEDS, JUST AS HE DID TO THE CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL IN THE WILDERNESS WHEN THEY CAME OUT OF EGYPT, BECAUSE NO MAN WILL BE
ABLE TO “BUY OR SELL” UNLESS HE RECEIVES THE MARK OF THE BEAST: REV. 13/17. AND
THOSE WHO DO, ARE DAMNED FOR ETERNITY: REV. 14/9-11……BUT THEN AGAIN, IF HE
DOESN`T CHOOSE TO SHELTER
It means, that
we are then going to have to become, A
BRIDE WITHOUT SPOT OR BLEMISH, PURE, HOLY, otherwise we shall not be able to
stand “in the evil day”: Eph. 6/11-18.

HEAVEN TO THE OTHER”. MATH. 24/30-31.
