“Behold, I show you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.”
1st Corinthians 15:51, 52

In the previous devotional on The Pre-Tribulation Rapture (click here), the host of a popular radio Bible call-in question talk show, was asked the following question:
“When it says that the Lord shall return “at the last trumpet”, how can this possibly be speaking of a so-called Pre-Tribulation Rapture? After all, there are 7 trumpets way back in Revelation, Chapter 11, when this so-called Pre-Tribulation Rapture is supposed to happen in Chapter 4?”

GOING TO OUTSIDE SOURCES
.
Well, the radio talk-show host explained that according to history books, there were “other trumpets” which were blown at different times.
.
Now do you see what just happened here? This talk-show host, who constantly affirms his faith in, “the Bible only”, and in the “infallibility of the Bible”, just went to outside historical secular sources to find “another set of trumpets”.
.
Incredible?
.
Yes, very incredible!

A TRUMPET ON THE LAST DAY
.
But this radio talk-show host completely ignored another proof-text concerning the last trumpet found in Matthew 24:29-31… “Immediately after the tribulation of those days…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.”
.
This above passage is clearly speaking of the Last Day when Christ returns, and yet it speaks of Christ sounding a trumpet.

THE PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE FOLLY
.
So how in the world can our signature passage of the day, from 1st Corinthians 15:51, 52 be referring to the last trumpet?
.
After all, Matthew 24:29-31 also speaks of a trumpet, which supposedly sounds 7 years AFTER that “last trumpet” of 1st Corinthians 15:51, 52?
.
It doesn’t make sense, does it?
.
But Matthew 24:29-31 merely exposes the folly concerning this non-biblical man-contrived doctrine known as “The Pre-Tribulation Rapture”.

WRESTLING WITH SCRIPTURE
.
Well, all this confusion begins to make sense when we read 1st Peter 3:16… “they that are unlearned and unstable wrest(le), as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.”
.
Yes, when those in the apostate church-world begin to teach some false doctrine, then begins the wrestling match, as they feverishly try to twist other scriptures in hopes of attaining some level of agreement between related scriptures which obviously refute their false doctrine.
.
And this is what theologians must do to defend this totally unbiblical doctrine with the man-contrived name, “The Rapture”.

REACHING OUTSIDE OF THE BIBLE
.
Well, as already mentioned, this talk show host attempted to lawlessly add to God’s infallible Word a set of “different” trumpets found in some history book.
.
So, in other words, when 1st Corinthians 15:52 speaks of “The Last Trumpet” it must be speaking of those “other trumpets” mentioned in those history books.
.
And so, this misguided talk show host presents a classic case of what 1st Peter 3:16 refers to as “wrestling” with the scriptures.

“COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE!”
.
And this wrestling with Scripture, is just one more reason why God is calling His people out of “The City of Confusion”, mystery Babylon…“And I heard anoth
er voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4
.
Yes, this entire false doctrine concerning the so-called Pre-Tribulation Rapture is just one more heresy among many, which the apostate church-world teaches.
.
And this is why there is an end-time exodus occurring away from the harlot churches!

“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 24:30, 31

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
THE 5 OFFICES OF ORION
.
But like most of the other Signs which this website reveals, Orion too, has much more to say as he changes his position in the sky. And this Soldier in the Heavens puts on different garb, as he presents the five awesome aspects of his various offices. From ‘Orion the Soldier’, and ‘Orion the Reaper’, and ‘Orion the Archer’, and ‘The Cross of Orion’, and last but certainly not least, “Orion, The Good Shepherd”. This amazing constellation presents a very complex revelation of the God’s magnificent love for a fallen planet.

So read on and discover, “things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” Matthew 13:35
