sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1201\" height=\"401\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Rev 1:7<\/p>\n<p>Matt 24: 30<\/p>\n<p>When Christ returns to earth, everyone alive will see Him. The event will be SPECTACULAR:\u00a0 Earthquakes, Thundering, Lightnings, mountains moving out of their locations. Christ himself will put out a loud shout ( I Thes 4:16).\u00a0 A trumpet will be heard all over the earth. As lightning flashes in the east and is seen in the west\u2026so shall the coming of Christ be.<\/p>\n<p>Matt 24:27<\/p>\n<p>There can definitely be nothing secret with all that will be happening at that time.<\/p>\n<p>Many persons use scriptures where it is mentioned that two persons will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left:\u00a0 Matt 24. 40-42<\/p>\n<p>This scripture does not speak about a secret rapture.\u00a0 Also, in the context of the message, remember just as in the days of Noah\u2019s flood how the people who did not enter the ark were taken away. They all died. This scripture has the same connotation. Those who will be taken are the ones who will perish.<\/p>\n<p>This secret rapture idea is a deception from the enemy of mankind. It offers false security. God never take His people out of tribulation times. Instead, He always save them in the midst of tribulations.<br \/>\nRemember these events:<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 God did not prevent Daniel form being thrown into the Lion\u2019s den. Instead, He protected and saved him while inside the den.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 God did not prevent the three Hebrew lads from being thrown into burning furnace in Babylon. Instead, He saved them while they were in the furnace.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 God did not take Israel out of Egypt during the seven last plagues. Instead, He protected them from the plagues while they were yet still in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 God did not prevent Paul from going through shipwrecks, imprisonment, bitten by snake etc. Instead, He was protected while going through these events.<\/p>\n<p>In the same way:\u00a0 God\u2019s people will remain on the earth during the time of tribulation that is to come on this world. They will not be raptured off to heaven. Instead, God will protect His children here on earth during the tribulation.<\/p>\n<p>It is after the tribulation, (immediately after) that Christ will put in His appearance and take His church to Heaven with Him.<\/p>\n<p>At His second coming, the saints who are asleep (dead)\u00a0 ( Adam, David, Joseph, Paul, Peter, Daniel, Mother Teresa\u2026\u2026) will come up in the first resurrection from their graves.\u00a0 The saints who are still alive will also be caught up in the air.\u00a0 They will meet Christ in the air and go to heaven for 1 000 years.<\/p>\n<p>All other life on earth will perish at Christ\u2019s appearing. No sinful being will be able to survive in the presence of a HOLY Creator.<\/p>\n<p>For a 1 000 year period, this earth will be a barren and desolate place. No human being will be alive. Only satan and his demons will be here in what the Bible symbolically refers to as the bottomless pit. Rev 20: 2, 3<br \/>\nFor 1 000 years satan and his demons will be bound on this earth. The earth will be as it was as described in Gen 1:2<\/p>\n<p>Then at the end of that 1 000 year period; the second resurrection will occur. This will bring back to life all who have rejected God\u2019s calling.<\/p>\n<p>Search the scriptures for yourselves.<br \/>\nQuestion your pastors about this issue because they will NOT find any reference of a secret rapture in the Christian Bible.<\/p>\n<p>Christ\u2019s first admonition to His followers is that they be aware of false prophets and teachers. Deception is satan\u2019s main strategy in leading the world astray. He had succeeded in deceiving Eve in Eden and the whole world is under his deceptive spell today.<\/p>\n<p>Most of what we practice come from traditions. The Christian church that was persecuted by Rome in the dark ages; had to go into hiding to practice the truths as shown in the Bible. For about 1 260 years, the church suffered the wrath of Rome because the power at that time wanted to suppress the truth.<br \/>\nWhen the church reappeared from its hiding place in the 18th Century, many of the original Bible truth were lost (changed). However, there was still a remnant of believers who adhered to the \u201cSola Scriptura\u201d.\u00a0 They persevered and God gradually opened their minds to the truths of the Bible.<\/p>\n<p>Let me also add: That NEVER in all of history was there ever a time when the majority accepted TRUTH.<\/p>\n<p>Always the opposite:\u00a0 The majority always accept error (evil).<br \/>\nThe same applies today. The road to destruction is wide\u2026easy to traverse\u2026takes no effort.<\/p>\n<p>The road to salvation is narrow:\u00a0 Few wants to take its path because it requires discipline and obedience.<\/p>\n<p>TRUTH makes one free.\u00a0 You stand for the truth, and stand alone ( with God though), as the late Lucky Dube sang: \u201c You stand for the truth; you always stand alone\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bible interprets itself. Here a little\u2026there a little\u2026<br \/>\nStudy with an open mind and ask The Holy Spirit for guidance<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-1065464035\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Editor, Please permit me to do\u00a0 a second episode of &#8221; WHY WE ACCEPTS TRADITIONS OF MEN AND PRACTISE WITHOUT ANY RESEARCH OR INVESTIGATION&#8221; Why Do We believe the things we practice without first Researching: In a previous letter I mentioned four (4) points of tradition that we as human being simply accept without [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":116473,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-147947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.1 (Yoast SEO v24.1) -
