There will be no secret pre-trib rapture because God’s word explicitly teaches otherwise, and millions of believers will be shocked, offended and enraged when they see the level of deceit they’ve been led to believe. Satan will capitalize on the pre-trib rapture. I call it a counterfeit rapture as it will destroy billions of unsuspecting people. From the time God created people in His own image, Satan has been trying to destroy those images of God. And as we approach the end of this age, Satan’s works “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:10), are increasing. Satan’s wars and the destruction of people made in the image of God haven’t ceased since Cain murdered his brother Abel, nor will they till Christ returns. In these end-times Satan targets not only believers, but also billions of unsuspecting unbelievers ignorantly fascinated with making contact with ET aliens, wicked fallen beings of an ancient race with superior knowledge.
Entities the world calls UFOs/UAPs are demonic beings with the ability of taking physical form and will harvest and destroy many people from earth. When that occurs and many go missing in the not so distant future it will not be the resurrection rapture of John 5:28–29; John 6:40,44, 54; Matt. 24:29–31; 1 Thess. 4:16; 1 Cor. 15:51–52; Rev. 11:15 and Matt. 24:27, but will be Satan’s counterfeit rapture when his evil alien beings destroy many unsuspecting and unprepared people. World governments have repeatedly lied about the release of their UFO/UAP files for decades as whistleblowers say “UFOs pose a threat to national security”. Rather, the concern will be global security when wicked alien entities descend and ascend upon earth: 1) to destroy Christian faith; and 2) to destroy great numbers of people made in the image of God, people who are ignorant of Satan’s plan to destroy them. It’s been said the U.S. government is warning Christian pastors.
Please pay careful attention to this. “That which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said, ‘See, this is new’? It has already been in ancient times before us. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come by those who will come after” (Eccl. 1:9–11). Does God and His word have your attention? Understand that Satan has always had a counterfeit for what God has and does. This issue began with the fallen angels “who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, [who] He [God] has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day” (Jude 1:6). Satan secured the rebellion of one-third of heavens angels against God, but to their eternal damnation.
And now, from the one about whom the Holy Spirit said “pleased God” (Heb. 11:5), the man named Enoch, the man mentioned in our Holy Bible 13 times in 12 verses, he testified from the start of his writings: “The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect [and] righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked [and godless] are to be removed” (1 Enoch 1:1). [My emphasis] There should be no delusion among true believers of God in Christ that Christians, those born again by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, will be on earth for the entire duration of the seven-year tribulation taught by Christ and His Holy Spirit. It was Jesus who said “But he who endures to the end shall be saved” (Matt. 24:13; Matt. 10:22); that He gathers His elect, His believers “Immediately after the tribulation” (Matt. 24:29–31). It’s for the benefit of the redeemed of the Lord God that we have been given overt proofs from the word of God that prepare believers to endure to the end as Jesus taught. But those guideposts of truth have been utterly destroyed by false teachers who refuse to teach Christ’s end-time truths.
It’s hard to imagine how Satan was able to persuade a third of heavens angels to rebel against God, but consider: if he was able to deceive a third of angels, imagine how easily he deceives fallen mankind to follow his rebellion! Satan deceives people by self-will, and demonstrated it saying “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High” (Isa. 14:13–14). When the Devil deceived Eve, he sowed doubt saying, “Has God indeed said…? [and] You will not surely die … you will be like God” (Gen. 3:1, 3, 5). And self-will is prominently revealed by numerous traditions of men in the church, mockingly “Has God indeed said” that He gathers His elect “Immediately after the tribulation” (Matt. 24:29–31)? That same rebellion of self-will applies to various other issues.
Your organized church leadership team won’t tell you of end-time destructions because they’re too enslaved to the pre-trib rapture lie which will be the wicked snare that will fuel the rebellion, anger and offense that precipitates the great and sudden falling away of 2 Thess. 2:9–12 from the Christian faith. This reality goes back to when God cursed Satan, saying “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He [Christ] shall bruise your head, and you [Satan] shall bruise His heel” (Gen. 3:15). Note that, in the very same judgment when God curses Satan and prophesies of the coming Christ, God told Satan that he would have seed, meaning offspring. Satan’s offspring occurred at Gen. 6:1–4. It’s why God sent the Flood to purge earth of violence and evil. And just as the Holy Spirit promised at Eccl. 1:9–11, those evil beings are returning once again to destroy humanity. But rebellion and unbelief of the truth has bred ignorant fascination, approval and even anticipatory receiving of alien entities.
The stage is thoroughly set. For many decades now many governments and their citizens have already physically witnessed thousands of occurrences of other-worldly UFO/UAP beings and crafts. It’s part of the great deception described at 2 Thess. 2:9–12. Get very familiar with that deception because it will serve you well in the near future. There are thousands of testimonies; people who have had physical contact with and even been abducted by evil entities. Often it’s reported that sexual examinations were conducted by alien beings. Sexual perversion is one of the desires of demonic beings first seen at Gen. 6:1–4 when fallen angels took human women and bore wicked offspring with them called the Nephilim, “giants … mighty men who were of old, men of renown” (Gen. 6:4). Those demonic beings will again destroy people made in the image of God as Satan is now making his final preps to defeat the many promises of God. It’s incumbent on pastors and Bible teachers to teach these truths in the church, but the subject is utterly rejected because they falsely believe they will be raptured before any of this occurs.
“When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, ‘Come and see.’ So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, [which is about 2.075 billion people] to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth” (Rev. 6:7–8). [My emphasis] Strong’s #G2342 in part being “Antichrist, both his person and his kingdom and power; metaphorically, a brutal, bestial man, savage, ferocious”. There are also four evil angels who have for millennia been held captive under the river Euphrates. And at the appointed time the sixth angel sounds, being commanded to “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates. So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. [Understand, this army is not an army of human beings] And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone” (Rev. 9:14).
Understand that, there is no nation on earth, or even a combination of nations, having an army of “two hundred million”. That army will be an invasion of wicked alien entities who will kill about 2.764 billion people. And what’s spiritually inexcusable is that evangelical churches avoid these coming realities, no thanks to the pre-trib rapture lie. That army of two hundred million demonic beings await the release of the four angels to lead them to make war against unsuspecting people. Don’t you be participant with the pre-trib rapture delusion that will decimate millions, though its promise is attractive to the weak fallen flesh while denying the end-time truths of God in Christ. But it’s Satan’s desire that believers and unbelievers alike ignore the testimony of Jesus for the purifying end-times, “looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works” (Titus 2:13–14).
Again, about Enoch, that one who lived 365 years, Gen., 5:23, and “By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, ‘and was not found, because God had taken him’; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God” (Heb. 11:5). It’s this same Enoch who said “And the spirits of the giants, the Nephilim, afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble; they take no food, [but nevertheless hunger] and thirst, and cause offenses. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded [from them]” (1 Enoch 15:11). Those alien end-time beings of a Nephilim army of Noah’s day will carry off or destroy about 50% of an unprepared and unsuspecting human population while church leaders remain silent!
Even the testimony of Jesus Himself doesn’t inspire evangelical church leaders to prepare its believers in the truth, for it was Jesus who said “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be” (Matt. 24:37). A second witness also quoted Jesus saying, “And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man” (Luke 17:26). The end-time truth is imperative, but because most evangelical church leaders have put their faith in the false dream epiphany of John Nelson Darby for a pre-trib rapture, which wholly contradicts Jesus’ teachings, millions of believers remain utterly ignorant and totally unprepared. But God’s Spirit clearly said “if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand” (Ezek. 33:6).
My second book “ON EAGLES’ WINGS” explains in detail how to know Christ and find God’s Bozrah sheepfold of safety and place of provision for the last 1,260 days of the great tribulation.
