Rapture Ready For Partial Rapture?

[achristian1985]

When the Antichrist sets up his image in the temple at Jerusalem, you can go there, refuse to worship him, and be beheaded on the spot. If you do that, you also will reign with Christ during the millennial kingdom.

Here is the steadfastness of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (Rev. 14:12)

Who are those who keep the commandments of God? The Jews. Who are those who have the faith of Jesus? The Christians. The Antichrist will persecute both the Christians and the Jews when he rises to power. Also among the Late‑Overcomers will be the Jews who refuse to worship the image of the beast. Imagine his surprise when, after death, such a Jew (who is still awaiting a promised Messiah) is set on a throne by Christ to co‑reign with Him for a thousand years!

But there is a catch to all this: as in everything else, self-effort is not of real value in regards to spiritual matters. The description of the Antichrist's persecution of God's people implied by the original language is that of making war on them by wearing them out, and not necessarily immediately putting them to death. If you go to Jerusalem with the intention of martyrdom but without the express leading of the Lord in your spirit to do so, most likely instead of being allowed to be a martyr, you will be thrown into prison and tortured. Everything is a matter of the Lord's will, not our self‑effort.


SUMMARY OF THE RAPTURE:

Shortly before the Tribulation begins, the overcomers will be raptured to the throne of God in heaven. The dead overcomers (the man‑child) will be resurrected and raptured first, followed shortly by the living overcomers (the first‑fruits). The large majority of living believers will pass

 

[achristian1985]

through most of the Tribulation and be raptured as the general harvest not to heaven but to the clouds. Toward the very end of the Tribulation and shortly before the literal physical return of the Lord to the Earth, the dead non‑overcomers, immediately followed by the living non‑overcomers still left on the earth, will be raptured to the clouds also. All of the believers will stand before the judgment seat of Christ, to receive a reward or suffer discipline. Those who need further disciplining to mature will be cast into outer darkness for the duration of the millennial kingdom. Those who receive a reward will return with the Lord to fight at Armageddon and reign with Him during the millennial kingdom, which will be a thousand‑year wedding feast. You cannot lose your salvation/regeneration. ALL born-again (believers) WILL be the New Jerusalem for eternity future.

The age of grace would end with the church, unless you consider the age of grace was extended back throughout the law.

The 144K are literal Sons of Israel, to turn the hearts and minds of current Israelites, to Christ, during their judgment .

This is a Satanic lie. The Bible never says God will take His people to heaven. We are plainly told, we must endure until the end. Matthew 24:13

The 144K are literal Sons of Israel, to turn the hearts and minds of current Israelites, to Christ, during their judgment .

The 144,000 are all faithful Christians, who will go out to the world in pairs to proclaim the coming Kingdom of Jesus. Isaiah 66:19, and Luke 10:1-10 is the precursor for this.
The current inhabitants of all the holy Land will be gone after the Lord sends His fiery wrath. Amos 1 and 2:1-5, Zephaniah 1:14-18, Jeremiah 10:18
Only a remnant of Messianic Jews will survive. Isaiah 29:1-4, Romans 9:27
