What if an extremely reliable source warned you that a great and strong and very evil army was going to come against you and fight against you?
.
And this very reliable source told you that you really, really need to get yourself ready for that war?!
.
But then, as you began to get ready, all your friends began to hug you and embrace you and tell you not to worry!
.
“No”, they say, “You don’t need to worry about that! Because,”they explained, “the same reliable source who warned you to get ready, is actually going to remove you far away, just prior to that war, to a place of complete peace and safety!”
“THEY CRY, ‘PEACE, PEACE’,WHEN THERE IS NO PEACE!”
Jeremiah 6:14, 8:11
.
But the Bible warns…
…”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.”
1st Thessalonians 5:3.
.
Yes, since about the 1950’s, the Christian community has been gradually changing its stance on the Book of Revelation, now saying that most of it doesn’t concern the Church!
.
Many voices have been saying “peace and safety”,when in fact, they should be crying…
…”Blow ye the trumpet in Zion,
and sound an alarm in my holy mountain:
let all the inhabitants of the land tremble:
for the day of the LORD cometh,
for it is nigh at hand;”
Joel 2:1.

“…they that are unlearned and unstable wrest (wrestle), as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction”
2nd Peter 3:16
.
Today’s Bible teachers and theologians try their best to deny and cover up the fact that historical records give Cyrus I. Scofield credit for popularizing this false doctrine of the “Pre-Tribulation Rapture”…
.
…first invented by another 19th-century false Bible teacher, one John Darby of The Plymouth Brethren denomination.
.
Today’s Bible teachers/theologians would love you to believe that the name “The Rapture” is the proper biblical name for Christ’s Return.
.
But the fact is, in the New Testament centuries prior to these two men, the God-given, biblical name, “The Coming of the Lord” was correctly used. (See 1st Thessalonians, 4:15)
Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister for Adolph Hitler said, “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.”
.
The fact is, “The Pre-tribulation Rapture”,is found nowhere in the Bible!
.
And just like Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Propaganda Minister, many have been trumpeting this non-biblical dogma called, “Pre-tribulation Rapture”, day and night, via TV and radio, and pulpits!
THEOLOGIANS HAVE CREATED 2 EVENTS INSTEAD OF 1 EVENT
.
Oh yes, they correctly say that “The Coming of the Lord” will still occur on the last day.
.
But they have now concocted a completely new 2nd Coming by adding this new event, “The Rapture”, inserting it into that very same passage which only speaks of “The Coming of the Lord”!
.
In other words, it is actually, “The Coming of the Lord”, in which God’s people will be “caught up together (with the resurrected dead) to meet the Lord in the air”.
.
Not this spurious, so-called “Rapture”!
.

A SALVATIONAL ISSUE!
.
But God cares! And the Bible even pronounces a curse on anyone who adds to, or takes away from, the prophecy of this book.
.
Listen… “For I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book,
If any man shall add unto these things,
God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book….”

“A CROWN OF 12 STARS UPON HER HEAD” …
.
If you have access to a very dark sky out in the country; if you watch this wreath, you will eventually see 5 more very faint stars, making a total of 12 stars, plus that single star in the middle.
.
This wreath now becomes a crown of 12 stars.
.
This goes along with Revelation 12, which tells of a crown of 12 stars upon the head of the Virtuous Woman of Revelation 12.
.
Just listen to Revelation…
…“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven;
a woman…and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:”
Revelation 12:1.
.
But this crown is not yet upon the head of the Virtuous Woman of Revelation 12Constellation (also known as Ursa Major).
.
It is just above her head, as if she has yet to attain it.
.
Of course, the 13th star in the middle would represent Christ (Who is our true Crown of our rejoicing).
.
Okay, so we have a picture of Christ and His twelve tribes of Israel.
.
But also, we have a picture of Christ and His twelve apostles, which is a picture of His Church.
.
So, this heavenly crown is a multi-faceted concept.

20+ MINUTE AUDIO STUDY IN JEREMIAH
.
ALL ‘NOBLE BEREANS’ (open-minded seekers of Bible truth) ARE ENCOURAGED TO BEGIN FOLLOWING THIS 650+ AUDIO BIBLE STUDY THROUGH THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH EACH DAY ON THIS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.
.
THIS STUDY #173 IS PRESENTED BY THE LATE HAROLD CAMPING OF FAMILY RADIO…
Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Today’s Devotional – June 24th (Darby’s & Scofield’s Pre-Trib Rapture Theory, Part 11: “The War Nobody Prepared For!”)
Wist ye not that I must be about My Father’s business?”
Luke 2:49
.
.
.
.
.
FAMILY VALUES
.
There is a growing consensus that our society is fast becoming a veritable Sodom & Gomorrah!
.
Decadence and perversion are rapidly becoming the order of the day!
.
And with the advent of modern high-tech devices, the current wave of moral degeneracy is just now sweeping over the land like a giant tsunami!
.
And so, Just how do we raise our children to “escape all these things, and to stand before the Son of Man”? Luke 21:36
.
.
.
.
.
THE SINS OF SODOM
.
Well, one thing is for sure! We should not raise them to love the sins of Sodom!
.
Now there are many who do not understand just what the sins of Sodom were.
.
But listen to what God has to say about this…
…”Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom,
pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters,
neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
And they were haughty, and committed abomination before Me:
therefore I took them away as I saw good.”
Ezekiel 16:49, 50
.
The fact is, the very first two sins mentioned were “pride”,and “fullness of bread”.
.
These are the sins which led to the downfall of Sodom and ultimately led to her fiery destruction!
.
And sadly, this prosperity-driven gospel being embraced in the churches today, is giving our children exactly the wrong idea of what it means to be Christ-like!
You see, we can try to give our children a Wonder-World Theme-Park existence…
.
…attempting to turn their life into one continuous round of picnics, parties, sports, vacations, amusements, and whatever else we think will make them happy and well-adjusted.
.
But that will not save their soul!
.
Listen… “Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD;
that walketh in His ways…
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house:
thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children,
and peace upon Israel.”
Psalm 128:1, 3, 4, 6
.
As this above passage reveals, it is by walking in the way of Jesus, God will bless our family.
“In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver,
and his idols of gold,
which they made each one for himself to worship,
to the moles and to the bats;
To go into the clefts of the ragged rocks,
for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty,
when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth.”
Isaiah 2:20, 21
.
So just what day is this above prophecy speaking of?
.
Obviously, it is speaking of these last days!
.
And it reveals that God’s people will finally realize that the Salvation of our children will only be accomplished when we finally decide to order our lives after the pattern of Christ!

“Dear Lord, Help me to love the idea of forsaking all, to follow Jesus. Help me to set a good example for my family, as I conform my life to the pattern and image of Jesus Christ…
But the Wide Gate Stars are composed of the two brightest stars of the Auriga Constellation, known as the star, Capella, and the star, Menkalinan.
.
The two stars, Castor and Pollux, make up the concept of the Orion’s Narrow Gate Stars.
.
This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark).
.
While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions.
.
It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.
.
The sketch to left shows, the two doors are each composed of two bright stars.
.
The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle.
.
The two stars that comprise the ‘Wide Gate’ Stars are the two brightest stars of the wave of water that comes out of theDragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here).
.
The stars that make up the ‘Narrow Gate’ are about half the width of the Wide Gate (see sketch below left).

EXCERPTS FROM THE OPEN FORUM QUESTION/ANSWER RADIO TALK-SHOW…

Can you believe it? it’s been over 50 years since the Summer of Love in San Francisco!
.
Remember that?
.
Well, most people were born in the years following that notable event. But it was a real effort by that then young generation to engage in brotherly love at a time when America was at war.
Yes, we seen this nation become hopelessly divided. And the leaders as well as the activists are getting more hateful, and more violent with each passing month!

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Help me to hide myself in this day when you are causing the nations to drink of Thy cup of fury…
So what importance to us is all this information? Well, if a person goes out at night, beginning in April (earlier in southern-most latitudes, and later in northern-most), in the pre-dawn hour, they just might locate the constellation commonly referred to as the Sagittarius Constellation . It is located in the southern sky. (Each night it appears a little earlier, slowly inching westward, through the summer, until it finally disappears below the western horizon in November.)
.
At first, it simply appears as two twin birds flying westward. But if you look once again, it just might appear as a long box-like figure, with one star on the right, as you face it, and two stars on the left. The box, of course would be the Ark, and the stars on either side would represent angels, which are sometimes referred to as stars in the Bible (for instance, “the seven stars are the angels…” Revelation 1:20). To the right is a star-chart from Wikipedia, in which the editor of this site has sketched in this Sagittarius Constellation, to show how God created it to appear.

It is said, that in America’s younger years, many of the great law schools taught contract law, using the Book of Romans, as the model of a perfect contract.
.
Well, as we know, the secularists moved in years ago, and soon began removing anything Christian from this society’s public institutions, eventually secularizing those formerly Christian colleges.
No, God is not a liar! Adam and Eve began to die in that very day! Death entered their bodies on that very day. And though it took many centuries for death to finally put them into the grave, God’s warning proved true and trustworthy.
.
But then, right there in the garden, God added another loophole to His contract with Mankind.
.
Listen… “And I will put enmity between thee (Satan) and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel.” Genesis 3:15
.
Yes, right there in the garden, God added a loophole big enough for the proverbial Mac Truck to drive through! Because this little comment He made, was a way of escape from that death sentence hanging over the heads of all Mankind…each and every human who ever lived or will live!
.
A Savior was to come into the world! And that Savior would eventually destroy the serpent!
But if we turn to several chapters later in Romans, we find this statement…
“For the creature was made subject to vanity,
not willingly, but by reason of Him who hath subjected the same in hope,
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption
into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first-fruits of the Spirit,”
Romans 8:20-23
.
Now this clause in God’s contract is seemingly very ambiguous! Because, it almost seems as if God is saying that the entire Creation, which He refers to as “they”in verse 23, will be delivered into the glorious liberty of the children of God!
.
So just what does that above passage mean!?!
.
Well, nobody knows for sure! And until Judgment Day has been concluded, nobody but God will fully understand! But the Bible does have other clauses within its pages, that make any truth-seeker pause and wonder, and ask God, “Just what are you actually saying, Lord?”
Listen…“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.” James 2:13
.
Okay, so it says here that the unmerciful will be shown no mercy by God. Now that’s pretty plain! Show no mercy…get no mercy!
.
But then, the very next statement says… “and mercy rejoices against judgment.”So here again, God makes a seemingly clear-cut condemnation, but then says… “And mercy rejoices against judgment”.
.
And so, once again, God is giving Himself plenty of wiggle-room in these two statements! But we don’t fully understand just what He means, when He says… “And mercy rejoices against Judgment”,although many presumptuously-proud ones may think they know!
And so, if we were smart, we would do well not to play a fool’s game, and get so dogmatic about the Bible, especially concerning future events! Listen to Paul… “And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.” 1st Corinthians 8:2.
.
As this above verse reveals, we need to realize that knowledge, true knowledge, is the gift of God, and that God hates human pride. And God will make us as fools if we begin to get dogmatic about future events! Oh yes, “we know in part, and we prophesy in part” (1st Corinthians 13:9). But we need to quit making ourselves as if we are some sort of know-it-all authority concerning the details of the Judgment Day before us!
.
After all, the Bible says… “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” 1st Timothy 2:5, 6.
.
Now just why did God say… “To be testified in due time”? After all, we all know that Jesus paid for the sins of all Mankind. So why does it say that this truth will “be testified of in duetime”?
The fact is, the whole Bible is filled with countless similar, puzzling statements! And only a fool would dare to say that he or she knows just what Judgment Day will be like.
.
Now of course, the Bible presents many clear-cut statements! For instance, God says…“I hate divorce!” Malachi 2:16. And there is no getting around that statement! And God says that He hates all sin! And so, there are many things which the Bible has made as clear as noonday.
.
But when it comes to many other things, God says…
“As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things;
in which are some things hard to be understood,
which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest,
as they do also the other scriptures,
unto their own destruction.”
2nd Peter 3:16.
.
You see, God doesn’t reveal everything. He has withheld many things from us, for His own reasons.
.
Listen… “The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.” Deuteronomy 29:29.
.
Those who are wise will take note of such passages as this, and consequently, temper their doctrines and teachings to include this and other similar passages. In other words, those who are wise will refrain themselves from becoming too confident and too dogmatic about what the Bible actually teaches in many areas of truth.
“Dear Lord, Give me the gift of meekness of wisdom. Let me not be self-assured. But help me to search the Scriptures with the purpose of getting to know Thee, more and more…

This constellation was identified on May 22nd, 2014. It is simply five stars, two from the Serpens Constellation, and stars from the Hercules Constellation.
Wikipedia Star-Chart – Corona Borealis
.
What gives this constellation impetus and significance is that it appears as five evenly positioned stars, in a slight oval pattern, as if they were sitting in a meeting, listening, or perhaps watching someone.
.
Second, they appear to be gathered in front of The Crown of Revelation 12 Constellation. (just below Corona Borealis in this Wikipedia star-chart, in which the editor of this site sketched in these two constellations)

ALL ‘NOBLE BEREANS’ (open-minded seekers of Bible truth) ARE ENCOURAGED TO BEGIN FOLLOWING THIS 650+ AUDIO BIBLE STUDY THROUGH THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH EACH DAY ON THIS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

THIS STUDY #194 IS PRESENTED BY THE LATE HAROLD CAMPING, FORMER CEO OF FAMILY RADIO…
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God:
in it thou shalt not do any work…
and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”
Exodus 20:8-11 (Condensed)
.
Well, if this one passage was all that God has to say on the subject, then we would have to conclude that, yes, ceasing from work on the Sabbath Day is what God requires for that day to be kept holy!
.
And, as we read a number of other passages, we learn that shopping on the Sabbath, and picking up sticks on the Sabbath are also strictly forbidden!
Oh yes, many Christians might “esteemeth one day above another”…
.
…and yet others might,“esteemeth every day alike.”
.
Regardless of any Christian is “fully persuaded in his own mind”, each and every Christian must keep every day of the week holy, even as it is written…“Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
(These above quotes are from Romans 14:5 & 1st Peter 1:16)

THE HOLY GHOST RIDER CONSTELLATION
.
This newest Signs Of Heaven Constellation (Fall, 2013) is by far the faintest of constellations, but is a very incredible and awesome one in a number of ways (which this article will explain).
.
It is primarily comprised of the Camelopardalis Constellation (head and upper back)…
.
…plus about 5 stars from the Cassiopeia Constellation (his leg), plus some random stars.
.
It appears as an outline of a rider.
.
Only the back of his head is detailed.
.
And his back and the back of his legs are also detailed.
.
Both sides of his arm are visible, and his hand is gripping the horse’s mane, and that is detailed by three stars (which are also part of the horse’s mane).
.
The rider is in a position vaguely similar to a race-horse jockey.
.
The two brightest stars in this constellation, are from the Cassiopeia Constellation, and are part of his leg.
.
All the rest of the stars are very faint, and must be viewed on a very starry night.
.
If you can locate the Goodly Horse in Battle Constellation, then you shouldn’t have too much trouble locating this Rider Constellation, provided you have excellent star-watching conditions.
Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me…
and took his journey into a far country,
and there wasted his substance with riotous living.”
Luke 15:11-13 (condensed)
.
.
.
.
.
This above parable which Jesus told, has great spiritual implications for many Jews, for the Church, and even for the individual Christian.
.
And it has been an encouragement for many lost souls who likewise spent their past lives in rebellion against Heaven and against Heaven’s Jesus!
.
When reading the entire parable, it actually is the story of redemption.
.
In other words, the wayward son ended up broke, homeless, and hungry, and this young man “would eat what the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.” Luke 15:16
Well, this little story ends with the wayward son returning back to his father in repentance.
.
But instead of responding with scorn and punishment, the father said…
“Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him;
and put a ring on his hand,
and shoes on his feet:
And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it;
and let us eat, and be merry:
For this My son was dead, and is alive again;
he was lost, and is found.
And they began to be merry.”
Luke 15:22-24
.
Yes, there have been many sinners who felt too wretched and sinful to think that God might forgive them, but who took heart by this extremely encouraging parable!
.
And they too, returned to God and found full forgiveness and restoration!
Yes, the Bible probably has implications far beyond what we might now realize!
.
For example, if we look at the United States, we see a nation built by leather-tough pioneers and brave, self-sacrificing soldiers…
…Men and women who put their lives on the line to establish and preserve a God-given nation, dedicated to “freedom of religious/political speech and liberty of conscience”.
“But they that will be rich fall into…into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.”
1st Timothy 6:9
.
But as the decades progressed, this nation became extremely prosperous via the produce and natural resources of the earth, combined with many marvelous innovations!
.
However, to a great degree, this current generation are much like pampered children who grow up in a rich man’s house.
.
Many of us just do not appreciate our heritage, nor the vast riches we have inherited.
.
To a great degree, we didn’t have to work for what we have.
.
It was left to us by our forefathers.
.
And as a result of our ingratitude, we now treat this great experiment in free speech and liberty of conscience, called “The United States” as carelessly as the proverbial “bull in a china-shop”!
“The wicked shall be turned into Hell, and all the nations that forget God”
Psalm 9:17
.
And let’s not forget how that bankrupt young man in the parable eventually became a servant and companion of swine!
.
Well, maybe we won’t literally end up in the swine trough.
.
But there will indeed be a day of recompense for any society which willingly destroys what God has blessed them with!
.
And there will be a replacement for a nation founded by God upon the platform of religious/political liberty of conscience!
.
Oh yes, pay-day is almost here!
.
And we spoiled and ungrateful children will get to “enjoy” the coming alternative replacement government!

GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!
Proverbs 25:25
.
Well, in spite of this sad, even tragic situation, there is much Good News!
.
Yes, even though we cannot stem the tide of evil and destruction now sweeping over the land like a devastating tsunami, there still remains hope!
.
That’s right, there is deliverance for any man, woman, or child who wishes to escape “when the overflowing scourge shall pass through!” Isaiah 28:15, 18 & 30:28
.
Remember John Bunyan’s allegorical Tale, Pilgrim’s Progress?
.
Remember how the pilgrim escaped The City of Destruction?
.
That’s right! He began his pilgrimage out of that doomed city, onward and upward to The Celestial City!
.
And that’s exactly how we can also escape this doomed planet, ripe for fiery destruction!
