Many of those who have bought into this unbiblical church-doctrine, “The Pre-Tribulation Rapture”, must be getting very nervous at this point in time!

THE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE: DARBY & SCOFIELD’S FOLLY!
.
Yes, the master-deceiver, Satan, has successfully lulled the bulk of mainstream Christians into a false sense of security, saying, “Don’t worry, be happy! You’ll be long gone when all Hell breaks loose in the world!”
.
But the Bible prophesied about such false teachers…“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, Satan is working though many false shepherds “to deceive if possible, even the very elect!” Mark 13:22

“O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to err”
Isaiah 3:12
.
And so, when we see all the crazy stuff going on, and all the frightening paradigm shifts taking place right now in society, this must make a lot of sincere churchgoers sit up and nervously ask the question…“Am I really going to get raptured out of here, before ‘all Hell’ breaks loose? Or have I been deceived by my teachers, because it sure looks like ‘all Hell’ is already beginning to break out!?”
.
God has warned us that the deceptions would be so close to truth, that Satan would, “if possible, deceive even the very Elect!” (See Matthew 24:24 & Mark 13:22)

“They shall come all for violence”
Habakkuk 1:9
.
Yes, it appears as if Satan and his vast armies are now on the march! And it seems as if he is rapidly morphing society into a brand-new totalitarian world-system!
.
Multitudes are gnashing on their teeth against anyone else who opposes their totalitarian ideals about what they want this society to morph into. And their angry rhetoric is getting louder. And even a few of them are beginning to physically assault those who stand in their way and assault those who protest against their fascist-like ideals.

“And judgment is turned away backward”
Isaiah 59:14
.
And even in our court system, some activist judges are turning a blind eye to truth and justice, handing down wrong decisions, according to their own personal social/political biases.
.
And the following verse literally foretold of this very day of unjust laws…“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter…” Isaiah 59:14
.
This above verse, written around 700B.C. is now being fulfilled as we witness civil authorities are beginning to persecute and prosecute those who loudly protest/pushback against this current-day neo-totalitarian!
.
Yes, less and less are Christians able to depend on today’s court system to render them justice: society is becoming more and more bigoted, biased, intolerant, and hostile against all those who oppose the current-day so-called political/social correctness!

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…”
Revelation 13:17 
.
And even the private business giants are beginning to capitulate to this growing totalitarianism, realizing that they must “get on board” or suffer the consequences!
.
And so, in order to appease the loud totalitarian voices, many banks and corporations are now beginning to cut off the ability for certain dissenters to buy or sell.

“…that bitter…nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land”
Habakkuk 1:6
.
It’s frightening and unbelievable to behold the growing movement in which a great portion of the secular society and their leadership are calling for the silencing of all those who hold to different beliefs and values! And it’s even more remarkable that such a large percentage of the general populace are so willing and eager to vote for those who want to stamp out freedom of speech!
.
Just listen to their drumbeats as they get louder and more hateful and increasingly militant against their supposed political and religious enemies!
.
It makes us very nervous when we hear protesters chant their anti-Christian mantra…“BRING BACK THE LIONS! BRING BACK THE LIONS!”

Revelation, Chapter 13 long-foretold that this end-time totalitarian takeover would eventually happen…“And he (the false Prophet) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16, 17
.
This above passage speaks of a totalitarian society in which “no man might buy or sell, unless he has the mark, or the name of the Beast, or the number of his name”.
.
Well, it looks as if that day is just over the horizon, or perhaps has already begun!

“Buy the truth, and sell it not”
Proverbs 23:23
.
Now. let it be stated that many Bible teachers and students have held to the belief that “buying and selling” has to do with the cutting off of all preaching of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
.
But many more believe that this passage refers to the actual inability to purchase or sell food, clothing, housing, etc…
.
The fact is, both schools of thought are probably correct. In other words, the true Gospel will probably be censored in the near future. But also, those Christians who stand firm against the wiles of the Devil, will find it all but impossible to buy or sell in the marketplace.

“Blow ye the trumpet…for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;”
Joel 2:1
.
Well, the Good News is, there is still time to prepare for this coming tempest. And there is still time to preach the true Gospel, warning the public to “flee from the wrath to come!” Matthew 3:7 & Luke 3:7
.
Yes, those who still have “an ear to hear”, should pray for Divine Wisdom to know how best to sound “the trumpet, the alarm of war”. Jeremiah 4:19

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
.
THE NARROW GATE STARS
.
This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter. Although it can be observed most of the winter, it is seen best when it is the western part of the sky, at winter’s end (The end of winter being the final scene of this heavenly Gospel story). Orion , the Dragon, and the Glorious White Horse are beginning to descend into the western horizon (sketch to right is Winter Constellations descending into western horizon. This can actually be seen as early as December, in the pre-dawn hours).
.
And at this point it is apparent that the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the two bright stars, known as Castor and Pollux (sketch to below left). 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 the Dragon 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 to right).
.
(For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here, “Orion The Reaper”.)
.
Editor’s note: These sketches on this page are merely sketches. The stars are not in their exact place. However, they are close enough to find them in the night sky. But as with most stars, it takes persistence to finally locate them.
