I’ve been trying to avoid this topic for a long time. I don’t like controversy, and this site is really about only one thing – helping you survive what is coming. Unfortunately, I’ve painted myself into a corner, so we need to talk about this subject.
The problem is that if you believe that the rapture will happen before anything bad comes… well, you won’t prepare. And, history is full of what happens to people who believe that nothing bad can happen to them. Please remember that it doesn’t matter what YOU think about what God is saying. It truly only matters what GOD thinks about what He is saying.

Prophecy Clock – The Rapture
Since this article threatens to be pretty long, I’m going to discuss the undeniable evidence first. And no, you CANNOT argue with these verses.
Absolute Proof First
Paul reached out to the church in Thessalonica because they were thrown into turmoil over the idea of the Rapture. It appears that someone was telling them that they had missed it. Here is what Paul says in 2 Thessalonians 2:
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. – 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
The Antichrist MUST come before the Rapture. There is no other way that you can interpret this verse. None.
But, there’s more to be said.
Before 2 Thessalonians, there was a 1 Thessalonians. Obviously, the church at Thessalonica was very interested in the Rapture. Pauls says this in chapter 4:
For the Lord 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. – 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
(See also: 1st Corinthians 15:51-53)
This raises an important question:
How many resurrections are there?
Just two and only two – the resurrection of the just and the resurrection of the unjust. (John 5:29, Revelation 20, etc.) And, they are a thousand years apart.
So, the Antichrist and the resurrection of ‘the just’ must happen before the Rapture. And no, there is no other way to interpret these verses. None.
But, we’re STILL not done.
Jesus spoke about the Rapture in Matthew 24:27-28 and then hammers the point home:
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. – Matthew 24:29-31
(See also Mark 13:24-27)
This is Jesus, our Lord and Savior telling us that the Rapture MUST HAPPEN AFTER THE TRIBULATION!
Please, did you get that?
The Rapture happens AFTER THE TRIBULATION. There is NO OTHER WAY TO INTERPRET THOSE VERSES!
Period. End of Statement.
So, we have three passages that offer complete evidence that the Antichrist MUST come first, that the Resurrection of the Just MUST come first, that the Tribulation MUST come first.
Is there any part of this that you did not understand?
These Three Happen Before The Rapture
Let me say this again. I have offered you three passages that cannot be argued with, and they tell us that these three things MUST happen before the Rapture:
- The Antichrist
- The Tribulation
- The Resurrection
There will be no Rapture until after those three things. Period.
Get This Right, Or Die
Now, there’s a reason why I am so passionate about this, and it’s the same reason why this website exists. If you don’t get this, and if you don’t prepare, you are going to die a terrible death.
When I proved to you that the Resurrection must happen before the Rapture, the verses that almost immediately follow that passage, say this:
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. – 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3
Right now, the people who speak the loudest about ‘peace and safety’ are those who either 1) support Obama or 2) believe in a pre-tribulation Rapture.
Revelation 12
I was asked to give an interpretation of Revelation 12, and I finally sent it out last night. That chapter talks about Satan being cast down to Earth and about the beginning of the Tribulation. It also offers a reason why some Christians will NOT experience the wrath of God during the Tribulation and WHY they survive the Antichrist:
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. – Revelation 12:6
And, Revelation 12 repeats this here:
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. – Revelation 12:13-14
If you want to escape the Antichrist and the wrath of God… get to that place in the wilderness that has been prepared by God for the coming of the Tribulation. It is the Tribulation equivalent to the Land of Goshen, when the Children of Israel were sheltered from the plagues of Egypt, that were sent by God.
That woman in Revelation 12, is Israel. She gave birth to Christ, and she wears a crown of 12 stars. And, when this part of Revelation 12 happens, she will already have accepted Christ. She will already have been a follower of Jesus, before she escapes the Antichrist.
The Chilling Part Of Revelation 12
Here’s the chilling part:
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. – Revelation 12:17
Please understand what is being said here. If you are not with this woman, or at least in a position to go where this woman goes… you will die an awful death at the hands of the Antichrist.
Period.
Worse, most of you will probably have died a terrible death already, because there is just a remnant that the Antichrist goes to fight against.
Why will there be just a remnant?
Solar EMP
Well there are a host of possible reasons, and I’ve described many of them on this site. But, there is one Biblical reason what concerns me the most:
And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord. – Ezekiel 39:6
THAT happens during the coming of Gog and Magog, a battle that will usher in the salvation of Israel. The problem is that the ‘fire’ of Ezekiel 39:6 sounds like a Solar EMP. If that is true, you will die terribly, if you are not prepared.
This Solar EMP may also make it impossible for you get to that ‘wilderness place’ that God is going to prepare for the Revelation 12 Woman. It will do terrible damage to the transportation systems of North America and Europe – should you survive this ‘fire’.
Now is the time to choose whether or not to join the ‘Peace and Safety’ Christians. If you choose the truth, you might be able to join the Revelation 12 Woman who is protected from the wrath of the Antichrist and the wrath of God. However, just like those few children of Israel that may have chosen not to believe God during the Passover plague, you will suffer the wrath of God – if you choose not to believe what God is telling you here.
Judgment Begins At The House Of God
Please understand that God IS going to pour out His wrath upon the church because of their sins and their disbelief. For proof, look no further than this:
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? – 1 Peter 4:17-18
God is furious at the sin in the church. We have become just like the world, and by our actions, we have blasphemed the name of God. We deserve the wrath of a holy God, and we’re going to get it. But, you don’t have to suffer that wrath.
You can obey God and avoid what is coming. The obedient are never appointed unto wrath, but the disobedient ALWAYS are.
Will you obey?
Rebellion
God has harsh words for those who rebel against Him:
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king. – 1 Samuel 15:23
If you have gotten to this point in this article, you know that the Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theory is wrong. You might still be fighting it, but deep down, you know that we are going through the Tribulation. And, if you keep fighting this, you are in rebellion against God.
And, rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft in the eyes of God. (And, you know who they worship in witchcraft.)
Furthermore, this is not the first time that I’ve talked about this.
Jesuit Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theory Fraud
In February of last year, I proved to you that the Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theory was a fraud. It was started by a book published in 1811 – written by a Jesuit priest, Manuel Lacunza. That book was published ten years after his death, and it has infected Christianity with its Jesuit lie. I traced the history of this infection, here:
http://www.omegashock.com/2013/02/20/jesuit-pretrib-rapture/
It went from the Jesuits to Edward Irving. From Irving, it went to John Nelson Darby. From Darby, it went to Cyrus Ingerson Scofield. When it got to Scofield, it was all over.
Are you going to fall for a Jesuit lie?
Please remember that the Jesuits are the same people that brought you the Illuminati.

You Must Love The Truth
By now, you have seen the truth. I am now calling you to love the truth. Loving something doesn’t mean that you like it, but it does mean that you hold to it, anyway. But, if you choose not to love the truth, beware.
Please take heed to what Paul says:
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. – 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12
I strongly dislike the idea that we are going to go through the Tribulation. I hate pain and suffering, and I hate the thought that the people I love will be suffering also. But, I am commanded to love the truth, and that means accepting it – even though I do not want to.
I accept what the Bible says about going through the Tribulation, even though I do not like it.
Will you join me in this acceptance of The Truth?
True Biblical Proof
So, let me bring you back to where we started, the Bible. I showed you that there are three things that MUST happen before the Rapture, and there is no way that you can get around these proofs. Here are those three things that must come BEFORE THE RAPTURE:
- The Antichrist
- The Tribulation
- The Resurrection
There will be no Rapture until after those three things. Period.
Again, here is what Paul says in 2 Thessalonians 2:
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. – 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
This means that the Antichrist MUST come before the Rapture.
Then, Paul says this here in chapter 4:
For the Lord 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. – 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
(See also: 1st Corinthians 15:51-53)
There are only two resurrections (John 5:29, Revelation 20, etc.), and the Resurrection of the Just MUST come BEFORE the Rapture.
Jesus spoke about the Rapture in Matthew 24:27-28 and then hammers the point home:
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. – Matthew 24:29-31
(See also Mark 13:24-27)
This is Jesus, our Lord and Savior telling us that the Rapture MUST HAPPEN AFTER THE TRIBULATION!
Please, did you get that?
The Rapture happens AFTER THE TRIBULATION. There is NO OTHER WAY TO INTERPRET THOSE VERSES!
Period. End of Statement.
So, we have three passages that offer complete evidence that the Antichrist MUST come first, that the Resurrection of the Just MUST come first, that the Tribulation MUST come first.
Is there any part of this that you did not understand?
These Three Happen Before The Rapture
You CANNOT argue with those three verses, if you love the truth. And, you cannot be worthy to escape the Tribulation (Luke 21:36), if you do not love the truth.
Again, these three things must come BEFORE THE RAPTURE:
- The Antichrist
- The Tribulation
- The Resurrection
There will be no Rapture until after those three things. Period.
Are you ready for this?
(That’s a link. Do more than just think about it.)
——————-
NOTE: After writing this, some of you mentioned that I was presenting an incorrect chronological order. That was not my intention, so let me emphasize that:
The Antichrist is revealed before/as the Tribulation begins.
The resurrection happens at the end of the Tribulation (or just after).
And the Rapture happens moments after (if not at the same time) the resurrection.
I hope that clarifies things.
