The Rapture and The 7th Shmittah of 2014/2015!
Rapture is a term in Christian eschatology which refers to the “being caught up” discussed in 1 Thessalonians 4:16, when the “dead in Christ” and “we who are alive and remain” will be “caught up in the clouds” to meet “theLord in the air”.
The term “Rapture” is used in at least two senses. In the pre-tribulation view, a group of people will be left behind on earth after another group literally leaves “to meet the Lord in the air.” This is now the most common use of the term, especially among fundamentalist Christians and in the United States.

Seems like a copy cat of Jonathan Cahn’s book..The Shmittah…Nothing new if you have heard Jonathan Cahn speak on this topic.
Thank, let me try to find that one
Signs of 7 Year Tribulation “START” Fall 2014 [Feast of Trumpets]:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO_Sk9CzFkY
Bible prophecy has been spot on, it is know longer a secret who will sit on the thrown of Jerusalem and proclaim to be God.
It’s blatant blasphemy and the bible was right, it’s going to be a spiritual war. When will the white man wake up and realize that the Jesuit CIA Roman Catholic Knights of Malta have been terrorizing the planet for thousands of years.
All the secret agencies, such as the CIA & Mossad work for the Roman Catholic Empire and serve the interest of the Pope.
We are truly at War to defend God and his kingdom against the antichrist who proclaims to be a man of God as he rules from his thrown inside the Vatican.
No one is willing to do the math to arrive at the correct time of the sabbatical (shmitah) year. Here i do the math so you won’t have to.

It is POSSIBLE TO know this date but you cannot do it using the Jewish calendar. DO THE MATH!!!

And this is why none will understand what is going on, or why prophecy fails them in the end. The ‘Shmita’ or whatever, is a lie. This word is NOT found in the Bible, nor in any accepted word of God. The holy event is named ‘Jubilee’ by God, not ‘Shmita’. The Jubilee is the 7th year in a cycle, and is a holy period. It’s history is documented from the time of Rome and the Jews as the Great Jubilee (the year following the 7th cycle of Jubilee) having first occurred in 117-AD (presumably, the record of the occurrence in 67-AD was destroyed with Rome’s assault on Jerusalem at the time). Counting forward by 50′s (7-7′s + 1), this would put the next Great Jubilee starting at Sept 20-21, 2017. This would also be the 40th Great Jubilee since Jesus and the 70th year since the refounding of Israel in May of 1948.
The date ‘Sept 2015′ given by this demonic rabbi is 2-years early. Great date to watch for an ‘anti-christ’, bad date to plan on anything of significance happening.
The scripture you quote for the article is being told to the annointed. The 144,000 who are the only humans to go to heaven. It’s not being told to us in general. It was written by one of the annointed and addressed to the rest of the annointed who were alive at the time. All of the Christian Greek scriptures are written by and addressed to only the annointed. Only they will be “caught up” and go to heaven. There’s only about 6,000 left alive on Earth now. So your “rapture” idea holds not a drop of water. It’s a teaching of man and religion, and not a teaching authored by God Almighty.
“There’s only about 6,000 left alive” Actually, approximately 2 billion will be left after the nuclear wars that darken the sun. Known as the great tribulation.
Never read anything in the scriptures about nuclear war. Never saw any such nuclear war being called the great tribulation in the scriptures either. Monnkz, you are lying. You are teaching the will of Satan. Why?
You’re right! it’s the 144000 that marry the Messiah on the sea of glass. Only the 144000.
Typical Watchtower Theology. Trash
Thank you Lord Humongous, I couldn’t agree with you more or said it any better.
Lord Humongous!
Your comment is typical Christian apostate trash. Typical servant of Satan trash. You speak lies because your father is the father of the lie, Satan. You are doing his will, not God’s so you attack those who DO God’s will and not Satan’s. Pretty typical.
144,000 are the martyrs, there are more humans than that going to Heaven, I assure you.
Not according to the scriptures.
Kate friday
Where does its say the 144,000 which are 12,000 from each of the 12 Tribes of Jacob are killed?
When the 7th Seal is open there is a pause while the 144,000 and the great multitude are sealed with the Holy Spirit of the Father. They are converted at the end of the great tribulation and right after the 6th Seal which is the heavenly signs and at the beginning of the 7th Seal they are sealed and become Saints of God and are First Fruits [only the 144,000 not the great multitude] and will rise to meet Christ as He returns as KING of kings to rule the earth. The Saints of God are the kings which rule with Christ here on earth.
Search and you will find not one scripture stating even one person has or will go to heaven. The meek shall inherit the earth.
I have friends that have experienced what you did, please understand this is Satan’s world and he controls it. He sends fallen angels to appear as Christ and as Mary and to speak and give visions. LIES ALL.
Sorry, I forgot to respond to this. . .
There are four primary views. Parial Rapturism is the view that only spiritual Christians will be raptured when Christ returns. Pretribulationism is the view that Christ will rapture the entire church before any part of the Tribulation begins. Posttribulationism is the view that Christ will rapture the church after the Tribulation. Midtribulationism is the view that Christ will rapture the church in the middle of the Tribulation period.
I think that most Christians today are either “pretribs” or “posttribs”. Personally I think the pretrib position is most consistent with the biblical testimony. But it’s not an issue worth fighting over. The different views of the rapture may disagree over the timing of end-time events, but they all agree on the big picture: there will be a rapture and we will live forever with Jesus in Heaven. In the long haul (after we’ve been with Christ for billions of years in Heaven), the question of whether the rapture happened before or after the Tribulation period will seem utterly ridiculous. Perhaps we should all keep that in mind the next time we’re tempted to get into a heated arguement about the timing of the rapture.
Even though I don’t think Christians ought to argue about when the rapture occurs I do think every Christian needs to examine the biblical evidence and come to a conviction on the issue. With that in mind, allow me to share a few of the reasons why I’ve decided in favour of the pretrib view and against the posttrib (and other) views.
One major problem with the posttrib view is, who will populate the millennial kingdom in mortal bodies? Scripture is very clear that when Christ comes again at the end of the Tribulation period, there will be human beings (Christians) who will enter into the millennial kindom in their mortal bodies. These people will not be glorified with resurrection bodies at that point. We know this to be true because they will continue to have marriage relationships with their spouses (assuming their spouses are Christians and enter the kindom), they will continue to bear children during the millennial kindom ( Isaiah 65:20-23; Jeremiah 23:3-6; 30:19-20), and even though longevity will be extended, aging and death will occur among them (Isaiah 6520-23).
The problem is, then how can mortal Christians enter the millennial kingdom if rapture occurs at the end of the Tribulation, thus glorifying ALL believers? There would be no mortal believers left. This obviously is not a problem for the pretrib view, for this view allows for new people to become Christians during the Tribulation period, following the rapture of the church.
Another problem for posttribulationism is, who are the participants in the judgement of the nations (Matthew 25:31-46)? We are told in Scripture that after Christ returns, He will separate the sheep from the goats (who are portrayed as STILL BEING on the earth) based on how they treated Christ’s “brothers”. The problem is, if all believers are raptured at the end of the Tribulation, then who are the sheep and the brothers? No separation of the sheep and the goats could occur ON EARTH, because all of the sheep (and the brothers) would have JUST BEEN RAPTURED AND ARE UP IN THE AIR WITH CHRIST. They would thus already be separated from unbelievers. Matthew 25:31-46 just can’t be made to fit in posttrib scenario.
A third problem for posttribulationism is John 14:1-3. This passage cannot be worked into posttrib scenario. The problem is, at a posttrib rapture, all believers are raptured and meet Christ in the air, only to return BACK TO EARTH with Christ. But this passage says that Christ will take believers FROM THE EARTH TO THE PLACE CHRIST IS PREPARING FOR THEM. This passage is not a problem for pretrib view, which says that Christ will rapture the church before the Tribulation begins and take them to this place He has been preparing.
Having said all the above, the Scripture DOES say there will be Christians who live during the Tribulation period. But pretribs believe these people become Christians some time after the rapture. Perhaps they become Christians as a result of the ministry of the 144,000 Jewish Christians introduced in Revelation 7 (who themselves apparently come to faith in Christ after the rapture).
Hello Truthseeker,
You need to check the Scripture again. In Revelation Chapter 7 the tribe of Dan is NOT mentioned. Instead of Dan, Manasses (Manasseh, son of Joseph) is mentioned. Why? Research what happened to the tribe of Dan (also check the blessing of Manasseh.). Dan was the first of the tribes to appoint their own priests and develop their own false god. Dan will NOT be represented in the 144,000.

I am well aware that the tribe of Dan has and will disqualified themselves, but Manasseh has always been called the half tribe and God will give them the 12th position held by Dan so there will always be 12 tribes.
Do you know why Dan will be removed? The 144,000 are spiritual virgins and will not worshiped the Beast or take the Mark of the beast but Dan will. Even now Dan follows Rome thus when the 12 tribes are taken captive for 3 1/2 years Dan will follow the Beast and the False Prophet. Dan is Ireland.
For spiritual idolatry Dan will be removed from the House of Israel and become gentiles.
Country Codger have you ever read the book written about 1903 titled JUDAH’S SCEPTER AND JOSEPH’S BIRTHRIGHT ? You can still find it on line.
The annointed 144,000 are not martyrs. Maybe a few here and a few there, but nowhere in the scriptures does it say they are martyrs. You are teaching falsehoods and making yourself God’s enemy. Why?
Mikesavage,
I beg to differ, I am not a scholar, I am not a preacher, I am a common human being with my own interpretations of the Holy Bible. If you think about it, does any human being have an interpretation of the Holy Bible that is 100% accurate? I’m sure every one of us is off a little at one point or another. While it may be true that my beliefs are not quite accurate, I don’t think it takes away from the fact that I indeed a Christian, nor will this point that you say I have made an error on, make any difference on the end result and the big picture.
You might say that I call them martyrs because given the fact that these people were non-believers prior to the Rapture and will live through the terror or the Tribulation and not cave, and will still profess to be Christians, would equate as martyrs in my mind.
As for making myself God’s enemy? Please spare us the drama and theatrics, who are you to judge?
Who am I to judge? Kate, it is God who said those things. My relating them is in no way judging. The scriptures explicitly say in many places that if one does a thing, it makes one an enemy of God. A good example would be the last couple paragraphs of the Bible where it says that if anyone adds to or takes away from prophecy, that one is God’s enemy. By reading that, am I judging? Certainly not. You need to dive back into the Bible and try to discern it’s meaning. It requires a pure and honest heart to understand them. God will send holy spirit to help if you are honest.
what god has done to good people on this planet is unforgivable. I’d rather die than get raptured by this evil god. Look at whats going on on this planet. People are fed up with it. And then to have this god rapture us and we don’t know his true intentions there is no telling what god has up his sleeve for his so called people. Another fake paradise like he did adam and eve?
I say if god kills humans he will always be a human killer. There is no way I’m going to heaven or hell. I’m staying right here on earth because regardless of all the messed up stuff that’s going on on this planet I’d bet its a lot better than heaven or hell.
Don’t trust god he is a wacko.
haha…….Hope you have a good supply of sun tan lotion. Your going to need it where your going.
All of my life, I have heard God in my head. Some mistake His voice for conscience, others will say it’s your sixth sense, some will say it is intuition. I have recognized the workings of my conscience, my sixth sense and my intuition and I also recognize God’s voice in my head.
Back in 2007, I was in the O.R. having two brain tumors removed. . . I went into a very bright light. It was the most joyous feeling I have ever experienced. I felt the light surround me, it was a blanket of absolute love. . . and then, I heard God telling me that he was sending me back because my work wasn’t done. I heard Him exactly the same way that I have heard Him in my head all of my life.
Heaven exists, Hell exists, there is life after we die here. You don’t have to belong to any organized religion, you don’t have to be baptized. Repent and pick up a bible or get together with people who are true believers and read the Bible and do your best to live your life in the light of the Lord.
God is real, peace be with you.

Please define “True Believers”
When you state “you do not have to be baptized” you are calling Jesus Christ a liar.
True believers are people who talk the talk and walk the walk. They are people who truly repent. They are not these types of people who i.e. steal during the week, then go to confession on Sunday, and then steal throughout the next week and then go to confession on Sunday and so on and so on.
A true believer will address every instance in their lives and try their hardest to do so while focusing on what God would want for them and all who are concerned, how God would want them to behave, etc.
I would never call Jesus a liar. Baptism signifies death to the old life and resurrection to the new life in Christ (Romans 6:1-4)
Acts 2:38 Baptism to be saved. . . the majority of passages dealing with salvation in the new testament affirm that salvation is by faith alone, a great example is John 3:16-17, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him”. So, how is Acts 2:38 to be interpreted? A single word in the verse gives us the answer, the verse reads, “Peter replied, ‘repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit’”
Students of the Greek language have often pointed out that the Greek word “for” (eis) is a preposition that can indicate causality (in order to attain) or a result (because of). An example of using “for” in a resultant sense is the sentence, “I’m taking an aspirin ‘for’ my headache”. Obviously this means I’m taking an aspirin as a result of my headache. I’m not taking an aspirin in order to attain a headache.
An example of using “for” in a causal sense is the sentence, “I’m going to the office for my paycheque”. Obviously this means I’m going to the office in order to attain my paycheque. Now, in Acts 2:23 the world “for” is used in a resultant sense. The verse might be paraphrased, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ because of (or as result of) the remission of sins”. The verse is not saying, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ in order to attain the remission of sins”. Hence, this verse, properly interpreted indicates that water baptizm follows the salvation experience.
Mark 16:16 The latter part of the verse, “whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned”, it is unbelief that brings damnation, not lack of being baptized. Consider the words of the apostle Paul, “For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel – not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power (Corinthians 1:17). Paul here draws a clear distinction between baptism and the gospel. And since it is the gospel that saves (Corinthians 15: 1,2) baptism is clearly not necessary to attain salvation.
This is not to say baptism is unimportant. I believe it should be the first act of obedience to God following a persons conversion to Christ. But even through we should obey God and get baptized, we mustn’t forget that our fait in Christ, not baptism, is what save us (Acts 16:31 ; John 3:16)
Baptizm is basically a public proffession of faith. It says to the whole world that you are a believer in Christ and have identified your life with Him.
I apologize for they typos, my fingers were just racing as I am not off to get some things done around here before the weather get real nasty.
Peace be with you all!
Kate Friday
We are so far apart there is not space to answer you. I will leave you with one comment.
What you have called “true believers” are those that live by every word of God. Christ said why call you Me LORD LORD and do not the things I say”?
Every Word of God is found in the Old and the New Testament and Jesus Christ IS the WORD of God that we must follow. Those that follow Christ follow the example He set for His Students to follow. Christians today do not one thing Christ did They keep sunday, easter, xmas eat pork just to mention a few all of which Christ never did.
How can one follow Christ and walk 180 degrees in the opposite direction.

Thank you for the invite HumanBeing, I will be sure to visit.
Heaven exists, for sure. “In Thy presence is fullness of joy, at Thy right hand are pleasures for evermore”.
The Lord Jesus Christ told His followers that He was going to prepare a place for them, and that where He was, there they might be also.
Given the stated dimensions of the New Jerusalem, this heaven must exist on a platform considerably bigger than our own.
However, hell does not exist in the generally conceived sense. The different Greek and Hebrew words the RCC translated and then infused with a meaning which is not in any of the original terms; ie a place of unmitigated and eternal horror, merely refer to holes in the ground, places of confinement, or places of final burning; the analogy in the latter case might be to a crematorium.
We know from 2 Peter that the world and all of its works will be burned up. There is no indication that this event will be accompanied by pain or suffering. Anguish perhaps; I suspect because the lost are finally given a glimpse of the joys which could have been theirs, before it is permanently removed from their sight.
The Lord Jesus took away the sins of the world; thus, there are no sins still to judge. Therefore the end of the wicked is not torment, but extinction, or death. Death is a cessation of experience; a rewind-reversal of Genesis 2, 7; the second death is the eternal cessation of experience.
It could not be any other way. If the unsaved can only be saved by the grace of God, then they can hardly be punished for not having been given that awakening call. If they do not hear His voice, then they cannot be judged for that.
The Most High seeks a peculiar people, a royal priesthood, a chosen generation; He does not seek a group of people to torment for evermore.
Having said that, of course, there seems to be no obvious reason why the wicked should not undergo a finite punishment; this time by fire, just as in a past time, it was by water.
But the punishment would not be eternal.
The Rapture myth started by Margaret MacDonald of Port Glasgow , Scotland between 1830 – 1840 before that time there was no mention of the myth by the Church Fathers, The Catholic Church or the Reformers nor was it spoken of by any in the Greek and Russian Orthodox traditions. The secret “rapture ” doctrine was unheard of in Christianity for 1800 years. Keep your money in your pocket when you see the word “Rapture” being used.
MacDonald never had any vision of a Rapture. For the truth and the Biblical teaching rather than appeals to church history: http://www.fether.net/index.php?page=refuting-slander-against-the-pre-trib-rapture/
The Rapture is a Post Reformation Myth that has made many wealthy and many disenfranchised . People usually hold on to beliefs that they inherited from others in their youth, but some search for the “secret message” or the special code that will connect them with their GOD. So they leave reason and scientific truths to embrace the man made myths that give them a feeling of security and superiority even in the light of truth, they will hold to the deception.
people have just been indoctrinated for thousands of years that they are not good enough being free and doing what they love/want, instead being given a set of rules, to obey and be kept in fear in the hope that being “good” and following the rules will get then ‘saved” ‘Raptured” and the feeling that you above the cut and will be saved because they have “morals”; its against universal law for anyone to interfere with human destiny..after thousands of years of predictions of world coming to a end, new Anti Crhists ever few years, we are still here and will be here until we finish what we came here to do..that means, no Religious figure, no ET figures or “Events will come and save the day..you get lazy and discouraged with life waiting and hoping that someone else will do things for you..take responsibility for your life, forget about complicated , vengeful Gods and rules, have compassion, love your brothers and sisters from any religion and you will do just fine. but on the end is choice and it takes courage to let go and think outside the box, but with a little effort, i can be done… J
Talking about the sabbath year still being in effect is to show insanity. The Mosaic law was ended at the death of Christ. Jews who adhere to “Judaism” as a religion are in complete enmity with God Almighty. Jews who stick to the Mosaic Law are basically saying that we believe God, but only to the point before Christ came to Earth. Anything God had to say after that point is meaningless. Doing that is to earn God’s judgement of destruction. The night before Christ was killed he began a new covenant, or contract with mankind. That new covenant eliminated all previous covenants. No more Mosaic law. Judaism as per se is a relatively new religion, and since ALL religion is an abomination to God Almighty, then the result should be obvious.
