“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

Today’s Bible teachers and theologians try their best to deny and cover up the fact that historical records give credit to one John Darby of The Plymouth Brethren denomination for inventing, and Cyrus I. Scofield credit for popularizing this false doctrine of the “Pre-Tribulation Rapture”.

1ST THESSALONIANS REVEALS THE DECEPTION
.
Now, one tell-tale sign which exposes this deception is found in the very passage that they
claim establishes this so-called “Rapture”…
.
Listen to what the proper name of Jesus’ Coming is…
“…we which are alive and remain unto THE COMING OF THE LORD
shall not prevent them which are asleep.
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.”
1st Thessalonians 4:15-17
.
Now, this passage calls this event, “The Coming of the Lord”.
.
But John Darby concocted the name, “The Rapture”, using the verb “caught up” in verse 17 of this very same passage, and changed it into a proper name.
.
But since the words, “caught up” doesn’t make such a nice-sounding proper noun, one clever theologian (actually, Satan) took the Latin version of 1st Thessalonians 4:15-17, the word, “Ripere”, and morphed that word further, into the unbiblical name, “The Pre-Tribulation Rapture”.
.
Much more exotic-sounding!

.
.
“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation”
Hebrews 9:28
.
And so, by such twisting of Scripture, Scofield/Darby now invented TWO second “Coming(s) of the Lord”, instead of the Biblical pronouncement of only one!
.
Consequently, if you missed out on the Christ’s first return, you now would have a second chance!
.
Very clever…and yet, very devilish!

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump…”
1st Corinthians 15:51
.
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, and very deceptive!

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, if indeed this is referring to the so-called Pre-Tribulation Rapture, seven years prior to the Last Day?
.
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? These two passages from Matthew 24:29-31 and 1st Corinthians 15:51, 52 must be speaking of the very same event!
.
Thus, by comparing these two passages clearly 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.”
.
And this wresting with Scripture is what theologians must do to defend this totally unbiblical doctrine with the man-contrived name, “The Rapture”.

“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 another 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

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.
