Angels were sent to Sodom to take Lot and his family from that place before the
wrath of God fell upon it.
ìAnd there came two angels to Sodom at evenÖAnd when the
morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take
thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be
consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, the
men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife,
and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being
merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him
without the city.î Genesis 19:1; 15-16
Sodom and Gomorrah were completely wiped off the face of the Earth. How
many were saved in those cites after the wrath of God fell? The same as in the
days of Noah ñ absolutely none!
Although Tim LaHaye, Jerry B. Jenkins, Hal Lindsay and their ilk have made a
fortune teaching the heresy that multitudes will be saved after the Rapture, there
is absolutely no basis in scripture for this teaching.
Persecution and Apostasy
Persecution for righteousness sake is evidence that a person or fellowship is
following the Lord and the leadership of the Holy Spirit
ìIf the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated
you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but
because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the
world, therefore the world hateth you.î John 15:18-19
ìFor unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to
believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake.î Philippians 1:29
ìBlessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.î Matthew 5:10
In these Last Days, the Antichrist and the One World Church will indeed
persecute the True Believers.
ìAnd it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to
overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations.î Revelation 13:7
According to the Word of God, two things must occur before Christ appears in
the clouds to gather His Bride.
