(OPINION) ETH – The Word of God reveals that a period of time before the Second Coming of Christ will be marked by specific events that must unfold. Although the Word of God does not specify when the time of the end will unfold, One Bible Professor Tom Meyer, a scholar also known as The Bible Memory Man, is certain the clock is already ticking for humanity according to Express.
Professor Meyer has stated that a battle will take place on the Earth in the time of the end, He said: “The event that will make the proverbial end days’ clock hit midnight and begin the seven-year tribulation as recorded in Revelation 6-19 is the Rapture. “The event is not to be confused with the Second Coming. “The Rapture of the Church is imminent – it could happen at any instant – so fast that it happens as quickly as the blink of an eye.”
Meyer goes on to state that Christ will appear in the skies during the Rapture to resurrect dead Christians and snatch them up to heaven and has prepared a room for them, as outlined in John 14: 1-6.v But according to Meyer, the Rapture will not mark the Second Coming just yet but sometime after the Rapture will begin a seven-year period known as the Tribulation, in which it will be divided into two halves, each lasting 42 months.
During the first half of the Tribulation, the Antichrist will rise to power to deceive the world. Professor Meyer said: “What we are currently suffering on a global level is only the slightest preview of what is to come. “The second half of the seven-year Tribulation is characterized as ‘great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be’.
“It will be so bad that Christ said that ‘unless that time of calamity is shortened – to seven years – not a single person will survive’.” Meyer emphasizes that the Second Coming of Christ will not take place until the Great Tribulation when many believe Jesus will return to destroy the Antichrist. It is then that Dr. Meyer says that Jesus will destroy the deceiver and establish his rule in Jerusalem for 1,000 years. Most of these events are outlined in the Bible’s Book of Revelation that contains the final chapters of the Bible, penned by John the Apostle, in which John revealed his apocalyptic visions of the end days.
All these intellectual so-called prophecy experts are so blinded by pride. There is one event in scripture that will announce to the whole world the 7 years of tribulation has begun and its so obvious and without any ambiguity the “Lord,s Day” is here. Its written in scripture so plain and simple and have not one; no not one preacher or so called expert has ever mentioned it. It is the 6th seal of Revelation. Its so obvious you have to be blinded with pride not to recognize it. I didn’t write the book. I’m just reading what it says, Rev. 6:12-15 ….,
“16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Even the UNBELIEVERS WILL KNOW. Gee Wiz people open your eyes!! I pray God does just that so you can see.
There is no pre-tribulation rapture. It is a dangerous fatal heresy. Prepare to go through hell on earth, literally. God has not appointed the church to wrath, and it will not receive God’s wrath. That is for the ungodly. However, the bible does say that the church will be persecuted by the world during that time. Revelation 13:7. No one comes to the idea of a pre-tribulation rapture by reading their bible. It is a fairly new, taught concept that has the potential to let sleeping Christians sleep, rather than to make sure they have enough oil in their lamps. Wake up and prepare. Draw close to God and He will draw close to you. That is a promise and the only way to make it through the NARROW gate. Matthew 7:14.
I have had a few recurring dreams that hint at the rapture occurring. One dream I had was where there were a few clouds descending as if they were picking people up. Another dream I had was on a bright sunny day, and I saw a cloud that was shaped like some kind of angel carrying a trumpet. I saw this cloud as I looked towards the west. Both these times, my soul leapt for joy in anticipation of Christ’s return for his Bride. Looking forward to meeting Him in the air along with the multitudes. Even so, come Lord Jesus.
