As it is written:
Let no man DECEIVE you by ANY means: for THAT DAY shall NOT come, EXCEPT there come a FALLING AWAY first, and that MAN OF SIN be revealed, the SON OF PERDITON;
What Day is being spoken of here?
The Day of the Lord, the Day of Christ's return, THAT DAY!
What is the FALLING AWAY?
It is the Great Apostasy, the forsaking of the TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD, by those calling themselves Christians.
So THAT DAY, The Day of the Lord, Christ’s Return and the Resurrection is not going to occur, until the SON OF PERDITION is REVEALED.
Who is THE SON OF PERDITION?
SATAN in the ANTI-CHRIST.
Just as Satan took over the body of Judas to betray Jesus Christ, so shall he take over the body of The Anti-Christ.
As it is written (of the Anti-Christ):
Who opposeth and EXALTETH himself above all that is CALLED God, or that is WORSHIPPED; so that he AS God sitteth in the TEMPLE OF GOD, showing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
There are those who teach this is all "spiritual", that it is speaking of the Anti-Christ, Satan, sitting in the bodies of Christians, since our bodies are the Temple of God.
Satan can not dwell in the Spirit filled Temple of a Saint of God!
As it is written (of the Anti-Christ):
And IT WAS GIVEN TO HIM to MAKE WAR WITH THE SAINTS, and TO OVERCOME THEM: and power was given him over ALL KINDREDS, and TONGUES, and NATIONS.
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in THE BOOK OF LIFE of THE LAMB slain from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:7-8
I BELIEVE THERE WILL BE A ONE WORLD LEADER
OF A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT
BORN OUT OF A NEW WORLD ORDER
ORCHESTRATED BY SATAN TO FIGHT AGAINST GOD AND TO CONTROL THE EARTH’S POPULATION AND DESTROY THE SAINTS OF GOD.
HIS DESIRE IS TO HAVE THE WHOLE EARTH SUBMIT TO HIM.
BUT HE HAS NO POWER BUT THAT WHICH IS GIVEN HIM OF GOD.
JUST AS POWER WAS GIVEN HIM OVER JOB, SO SHALL IT BE GIVEN HIM OVER THE SAINTS .
Now if the saints mentioned here as being OVERCOME by the anti-Christ, are not part of Christ’s body, the church, then who are they?
As it is written:
And they OVERCAME “him” by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and THEY LOVED NOT THEIR LIVES UNTO THE DEATH. Revelation 12:11
It is written that they will reign a thousand years with Christ and have no part in the SECOND DEATH.
Is this not a privilege the body of Christ the "Church" claims for itself?
As it is written:
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the SECOND DEATH hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Revelation 20:6
Not all shall die a martyrs death, for it is written that some will remain alive until the coming of the Lord, and they will be changed, they will die in an instant and obtain their immortal bodies. For this mortal must pout on immortality!
As it is written:
And as it is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE, but after this the judgment:
Hebrews 9:27
People seem to stumble over the idea that their bodies must die, they can’t get past that, this is why this “theory” of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture came into being, for Satan said, “Thou shalt not surely die”.
Then through Adam, death came upon all men, then Life through Jesus Christ, Eternal Life not an escape from Death, via a Pre-Trib Rapture. To be absent from our bodies is to be present with the Lord.
Why should any Christian fear death?
As it is written:
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Corinthians5:1-10
In other words do not fear what man can do to you, do not fear death, rather fear God!
“HIS ELECT” includes the "tribulation saints". Jesus only comes unawares, "as a thief in the night", to those who are not looking for His appearing.
As it is written:
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:28
There is absolutely not one scripture where Jesus says He is coming in secret to take His “church” out of this world, before the Great Tribulation, not one, it is mere conjecture on man’s part, it is a theory, not a fact at all.
As it is written that Jesus said:
I pray not that thou shouldest take them OUT of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:15-16
No where in scripture does it say that luke warm “left behind” church goers, who are not worthy of a Pre-Trib rapture are to be cast head long into the Great Tribulation. Rather the scripture refers to luke warm Christians as “unprofitable servants” and it is written that they will be cast into outer darkness where there shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth......
Just to clarify the SECOND DEATH is for those who do not love God and who after the Thousand year reign and the following Great White Throne Judgment are cast into the Lake of Fire which is the Second Death.
As it is written:
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is THE BOOK OF LIFE: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is THE SECOND DEATH.
15And whosoever was not found written in THE BOOK OF LIFE was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE. Revelation 20:11-15
Saints we need not fear death, we should be as the saints of Old and look forward with joy to the event. Those who meet Him in the air have glorified bodies, to get those bodies we have to die. Loosing ones fear of death brakes the bondage of Satan.
As it is written:
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Hebrews 2:14-15
I don't know why this blog leaves me all this empty space anyone any clues? Also I have no clue why it posts in an odd manner... sorry saints.
This blog is designed to make you "think". Also to encourage,exhort,edify and "Warn" the saints of God as we see the day of The Lord on the horrizon.

Good video, I would also say to beware of the even more subtle teachers who seem to say all the right words but behind the scenes there is something else going on. Recently I discovered some things about John MacArthur that at first I thought were untrue or exaggerated or mistaken info, etc, because I really liked John MacArthur and even have attended his church when I lived in California. However, he says he is against the Church Growth Movement, but behind the scenes he works with many pastors and groups that are involved in it and his own church groups in his own congregation use catch phrases and model their programs and activities along the same structure as the CGM...also has a pastor at many of his conferences, Albert Mohler, who is on the board of United Nations non-government organizations which have to submit to the antichrist UN charter and say they are in agreement with it. The ultimate goal of the UN is to destroy the true church of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These days we really need to be careful not to follow any man no matter how good they may appear to be, but to stay true to Jesus alone and His word the Bible, not the doctrines of any man. Thanks for this good post. :)
I meant to put this on the Hillsong video post, but now I see that I went down too far...oops, sorry, didn't mean to confuse issues...
lol no worries sister
