Pan Tribulation Rapture

The debate on pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib rapture shows most participants have insufficient understanding of the Bible and the power of God.  Consider the three recorded instances we know of ascension.  Enoch, Elijah, and Jesus all ascended in their physical bodies to God’s throne, Jesus after resurrection.  Paul also claims he may have but wasn’t sure if it was in his body or not.  So it is evident we can ascend anytime if we have adequate faith in God.  That means it is possible for you if you get faithful enough to get raptured anytime without regard to a scheduled tribulation, hence the pan tribulation rapture.  If you want to work toward it, notice that Enoch (according to the Book of Enoch), Elijah, and Jesus all had contact with angels.  So you have to pray in order to see, experience, and cooperate with God’s real angels, not just false light, a warm fuzzy feeling, or anything else you might assume to be angelic. 

The reason there is a large group of believers prophecied to ascend around the time of the tribulation is it takes a lot of acts of God to wake many people up to pursue Him.  So the pew potato rapture where people just go to a denomination every Sunday and they who believe get raptured while listening to a sermon or singing a hymn is unlikely.  It is more likely to be both Jews and Christians who have developed a personal relationship with God and his angels, including the angel of God which is Jesus, the king of the angels.  Jesus will come for you someday, but if you are ready, He may take you home without you seeing death.  

Now there are several tribulations in the Bible.  One act of God big enough to wake up lots of people to get seriously praying is the Rev. 8:8-12 asteroid which sinks 1/3 of the ships at sea and aflicts 1/3 of the earth.  That will lead many believers to send their spirits to the moon in prayer to look out and interceed to prevent another earth shattering event.  It is those believers who are divided between the new man which ascends in Rev. 12:5 and those who are left behind in Rev. 12:6 according to Jesus’ requirements in Matthew 25.  This in Revelation 12 obviously occurs after the events in Revelation 8.  But we don’t know how long after.

We can’t say the day or hour so it is unknown when the 7 year tribulation will occur or when the second half or the 3.5 years of Great Tribulation will occur.  We can hope the ascension of the new man happens before the political creation of the Islamic Caliphate or beast with 7 heads (Muslim nations) and 10 horns (including 3 extra-national military powers like Hamas or Al-Queda) which is done in cooperation with the last Pope based on Rev. 17:3.  And since the last Pope is prophecied (by Catholics) to now be in office, we know it should happen within 31 years which is the longest time any Pope has held office.  So it could be all over by 2013 + 31 = 2044 but since that’s so close to 100 years after Israel became a nation, that may be what God means by a generation, so let’s push it out to 2048.  We just have an approximate bound with no certainty when the raptures in Isa. 66:7-8 and Rev. 12:5 will happen.  With God it is no problem to add or subtract 12 years.  Whenever the exact time, the question is are you ready?  What is your relationship with God, man, and angels?  Can you pass the test in Matthew 25?  Are you ready to survive Rev. 8?  I suggest getting serious about the true church.  See www.freetom.info/truechurch
