WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE LEFT BEHIND. Provided by THE GOOD NEWS MINISTRY AND MISSIONS OUTREACH PROCLAIMING THE GOOD NEWS OF THE SOON RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST! http://www3.bc.sympatico.ca/thegoodnews/leftbehind.htm Revealing Those Who Will Be "Left Behind" To Go Through The Great Tribulation After The Rapture Of All Born Again, True And Faithful Bible Believing Christians. WHILE the anticipation of Christ's coming to Rapture the True and Faithful Bible Believing church is the "Blessed Hope" of the True believer, it is a sobering matter for the people who are "Left Behind" They are described as deceived apostates and unbelievers who have no hope. They will succumb to the great lie and will perish and be condemned. (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12). This is not a pretty picture, but this is God's Direct Warning to a defiant and unbelieving world of rebellion and disobedience. When the Antichrist rises to power, he will openly oppose God, exalt himself above God, and even claim to be God. (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). The Bible warns us that the Antichrist will be empowered by Satan himself to do miraculous signs and wonders (2 Thessalonians 2:9). He will be assisted by his sidekick, "The False Prophet" (A Charismatic World religious leader) (Rev. 19:20), who encourages the worship of the Antichrist as God. Bible Prophecy tells us that the Antichrist's reign will comprise of a "One World Global Government". He will be empowered by Satan to deceive the whole world and control world government, world religion and the world's economy. No one will be able to buy or sell or even work except those who have "The Mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name" (Rev. 13:17) The people who are "Left Behind" at the rapture will not be able to escape this global system set up during the tribulation. Those who are "Left Behind" at the rapture will witness the rise of the Antichrist, his false promises of peace, his persecution of new and repentant unbelievers, and his eventual war with God, which will cumulate at
Armageddon. Some of these people will come to faith in Christ during this time, but they will be martyred and executed for their belief. THE GREAT DECEPTION Many of the people who are "Left Behind" will be deceived and never come to True faith in Christ. They will be trapped in the global empire ruled by the satanic forces of the Antichrist and the False Prophet. We put forward the following observation: "Regardless of the way the Antichrist rises to power, and Regardless of the exact nature of the signs and wonders that accompany his rise, we know that he will accomplish three main objectives. First, he will convince the Jews, that he is their long- awaited Messiah. Secondly, he will convince the false apostate-counterfeit church that is "Left Behind" after the rapture that he is the true Christ. Finally, he will convince everyone that this is actually the beginning of the millennial kingdom period. during which people live together in peace and harmony for a thousand years." Jesus Himself warned against false Christs, false prophets, false Christians, a false counterfeit Christianity, wrought with deceptive miracles-signs and wonders and a counterfeit messiah. He said: "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name and, claiming : 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many" (Matt. 24:4-5). This warning came at the beginning of Christ's own Prophecy about the "End-Times", the Olivet Discourse (Matt. 24:25) We can only guess how and when this deception will occur. But even the most skeptical person must admit that our world's concepts of truth and reality have changed drastically in the past 50 years. People are no longer sure about what is true; rather, they want to know what works for them. The powerful and revealing book, "The Agony of Deceit", provides vivid details of the erroneous and even heretical ideas of a counterfeit Christianity- a false gospel being promoted by apostate or false evangelists, preachers and theologians. The tragedy of our times is that even well intended believers are often caught up in the deceptions of these doctrinal errors and don't even know it. Every human being is vulnerable to error and deception, and when the ultimate deception comes, no one, with exception of the True and Faithful Bible Believing Christians, through the indwelling power of the True Holy Spirit of God, will be able to withstand it.
All that are Left Behind -- be they Catholic, Protestant, New Evangelical or Charismatic, -- will all be lost. In such an environment, the False Prophet will have no problem deceiving the whole world. While the Holy Spirit will still be omnipresent in the world, the removal of The True and Faithful Bible Believing Church (body of Christ) will bring His restraining ministry to an end. See Also: Revealing The Rapture-The Blessed Hope! THE CONCERN OF TRUE BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIANS MANY True and Faithful Bible Believing Christians are deeply concerned about those who will be Left Behind to suffer in the "Great Tribulation" after the Lord Jesus Christ has called His own to meet Him in the air. This meeting is referred to as the Rapture. We do not believe in a second chance, but we do believe that salvation will be offered until death and until the age of Grace expires. The opportunity of salvation during the tribulation will only be by martyrdom, by refusing to accept the "Mark Of The Beast" and refusing to worship the Anti-Christ. And instead you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour. Faith in the atoning cross work of Christ is the only hope for a lost humanity, sold under sin, either before or after the Rapture. This message is especially for those who are Left Behind to be in the Great Tribulation (Matt.24:21), and its object is to bear witness that the Scriptures teach that even Yet many will be saved by giving their lives as martyrs (Rev. 7:13-14), and will escape the final doom of the Eternal Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:15). TO THOSE WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND THE GREAT EVENT foretold in the Holy Scriptures (The Bible) and which is believed and taught by the evangelical and True Blood-bought Body of Christ concerning "the rapture of the Church of the Living God" from this earth to glory HAS TAKEN PLACE. Both the True living Bible believers and the True Bible Believers now dead in Christ (who have been raised from the dead) have been caught up to meet the Lord in the air, in accordance with the following Scriptures: 'For this we say onto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the LORD I Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (I Thessalonians 4:15-17). Now that The True and Faithful Bible Believing Church-, (all True Bible Believing followers of the Lord Jesus Christ) has been taken from the earth, the powers of Satan will have full sway and a terrible, indescribable tribulation will take place during, which those inhabitants of the earth, which have been Left Behind. (Jew and Gentile) will suffer much. To live for Christ now, and confess Him as your Lord and Saviour that you might escape the eternal damnation of hell that under the reign of the Antichrist will cost you your very life. But Salvation is still promised to those who endure to the very end. (Matthew 24:13). Those who are saved out of the great tribulation are described in Rev.7:14 as having had washed their robes, and made them white in the "Blood of the Lamb." Your robes are stained with UNBELIEF, WORLDLINESS, PLEASURE-SEEKING, REBELLION, DISOBEDIENCE and OTHER SINS. Separate yourself completly from the world and surrender Unto God absolutely, and seek cleansing by repenting of your sin and believing in the Blood of Christ which was spilled on Calvary for the remission of sin. (John 3:16). "For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13). Study your Bible earnestly while you still have it, and memorize as much as possible before it is taken from you. The Antichrist will be the Great World Dictator, and compel all men to bear his MARK, and to worship him and his image. REFUSE the MARK, and REFUSE TO WORSHIP THE ANTICHRIST or his image at any cost. (Rev. 13:1-5-17). It is far better to suffer for a little while now, and soon to be with Christ, than to escape suffering by yielding to the Beast and suffer the torments of Hell forever. (Rev. 14:9-12). Be of good courage. Hold fast to the True Word of God. Be kind to the Jew. "He that shall ENDURE unto the end, the same shall be saved" (Matthew 24:13).
This article is written as though the Rapture had taken place and the Lord had called His own True and Faithful Bible Believing Saints Out Of this world. Perhaps even now as you are reading this message, the Rapture is history, and YOU, the unbelieving, the apostate and false professing Christian, the worldly practioner of false religions and beliefs are all Left Behind. Look to Him, Jesus Christ, for strength and the courage to suffer for Him, for He suffered for you still even unto death. The Bible bears testimony that during this period you call neither buy nor sell, without the mark of the Beast, and this will bring great suffering and certain death to those who refuse the Mark, AND HE THAT RECEIVES THE MARK IS ETERNALLY DAMNED, AND THE WRATH OF THE LIVING GOD ABIDES ON HIM. "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (as Saviour), and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9). Whether the RAPTURE has taken place or is still in the future when you read this message, REPENT OF YOUR SIN AND ACCEPT CHRIST JESUS NOW as your personal Saviour, by believing that He died and shed His blood for you. Surrender wholly to Him. Diligently watch and pray, continue to work and witness for Him until He comes. (Luke 21:34-36). Read John 3:16 and 3:36, and Acts 17:30.) "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, in the renewing of the Holy Ghost; which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour." (Titus 3:5-6). GOD'S ONE WAY TO SAVE SINNERS No other Way - John 14:6. No other foundation - I Corinthians 3:11. No other name - Acts 4:12. No other entrance - John 10:1. No other atonement - I Hebrews 9:12, 28. No other saving power - Romans 1:16; John 6:44. No other Gospel to be preached - Gal. 1:8-9. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." (Acts 16:31).
"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." (Mark 16:16) If you have been drawn to God by His Spirit and want to become a true Christian, what should you do? The inspired answer was given by the Apostle Peter on the first New Testament day of Pentecost. After coming to realize the enormity of their sins, the repentant assembly asked Peter and the rest of the Apostles: " Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call " (Acts 2:37 39).
