The Seven Year Tribulation
Another lie perpetrated by the false shepherds of ecumenism is that of a Pre-
Tribulation Rapture. This doctrine teaches that all Christians will be gathered to
meet the Lord in the air at the beginning of the 7 year Tribulation, and that after
the Rapture 144,000 Israelites (12,000 from each of the Twelve Tribes) will be
saved to evangelize the world.
ìAnd I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there
were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the
tribes of the children of Israel.î Revelation 7:4
The scripture says they are sealed, NOT saved! This is to keep a segment of
descendents of Abraham safe as the wrath of God is poured out on the world.
ìAnd I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the
seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four
angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we
have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.î
Revelation 7:2-3
Some claim that because they are called servants of God that proves they are
followers of Christ. But in speaking to His disciples, the Lord Jesus said:
ìYe are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not
what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things
that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.î
John 15:14-15 (emphasis mine)
Those that adhere to this heresy also believe that the Holy Spirit is keeping the
Antichrist from coming into power. Therefore all Christians that have the Holy
Spirit within them must be taken from the world before the son of perdition
comes to rule the earth.
