Hows your Eschatology? Good? It Had Better Be!

If you are a Christian pursuing the truth about when the rapture occurs, consider the following:

Jesus was extremely adamant about warning us not to be deceived in the end times (the times in which we live):

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.”

—Matthew 24:4

“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”

—Matthew 24:5

“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.”

—Matthew 24:11

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

—Matthew 24:24

Jesus was talking to the final generation, the one that sees His return.

We know from the Scriptures that the Antichrist will come with his great magic to deceive people. We also know that anyone who is deceived and receives the mark of the beast will suffer the full wrath of God and will end up in the lake of fire. So it is vital not to be deceived. Hence, we get repeated warnings from Jesus and the Apostles to not allow ourselves to be deceived.

So I ask this of those Christians truly seeking truth:

If Jesus is going to rapture the Church out of here before the Antichrist comes upon the scene, why then did He warn us so adamantly about being deceived? If Christians aren’t going to be around for the great deception, the great falling away, there would be no reason to warn them about it.

The truth of the matter is this: Jesus warned us because we WILL be here during the time of the beast, for Jesus prayed this to the Father:

“I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.”

—John 17:15

The truth is our faith my Christian brothers and sisters must be strong!

We must be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil and his cohorts! It is only by the precious blood of Jesus and the words of our testimony that gives us victory of the Devil!

If your faith is not firm, you will not be able to stand until the end. And only those who endure until the end are saved:

“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”

—Matthew 24:13

Therefore it is imperative that you study the Scriptures for yourself. Read, pray, and meditate upon the Scriptures. Search the Scriptures diligently and do not rely on what others say for many of them will be, and have been, deceived, by this doctrine of demons known as the pre-trib rapture theory.

It would do Christians of today well to consider what one of the greatest scientists of all time, Isaac Newton, said concerning the importance of Christians knowing the end time prophecies. Newton drew a parallel between how the learned Jews missed the first coming of the Messiah because they were deceived and how it will be no less possible for Christians to be deceived by the Antichrist. Newton said if God was angry with the Jews for not searching more diligently into the prophecies which He had given them to know Christ by, why should we think He will excuse us for not searching into the prophecies which He has given us to know the Antichrist by, for surely it must be as easy for Christians to be deceived by the Antichrist as it was for the Jews to reject Christ Newton postulated, saying it is as much our duty to endeavor to be able to know the Antichrist and avoid him as it was the duty of the Jews to know Christ and to follow Him. I agree with Newton here.

The study of eschatology should be no small matter to Christians today. But sadly, many Christians today are indifferent and apathetic to eschatology because of this false belief that they won’t be here when all hell literally breaks loose, and so they are severely ill-prepared for what is about to happen and therefore in grave danger.

This doctrine of demons known as the pre-tribulation rapture theory has bamboozled so many so-called Christians it’s no wonder Satan has perpetrated this myth, for it serves his purposes greatly—the warnings of Jesus about not being deceived have fallen on millions of deaf ears!

The Antichrist is coming to deceive the whole world if he can. Woe unto those who are not ready.
