THE VAINGLORIOUS RAPTURE - AND ISRAEL'S INGLORIOUS ASSUMPTION
This morning the Lord spoke profoundly to me, with the rhetorical question,
‘‘What good will it be to hasten to heaven, to meet a disappointed Lord…’
Giving the Rapture further thought, it occurred to me that ‘leaving’ does not always discount activism. For example, I believe there will be a rapture, (though I’m not sure of the timing), yet I’m still vigilently activist as the Lord leads. I can think of many expatriots, who left the USA but still report on the country, from their new homes in Ecuador, Mexico, Canada and other places.
What is it then?
Well 2 thoughts came to mind, the first being that - the preponderance of blame for this incredible Church incouciance, must be attributed primarily to the evil contract with the state - the 501c3 ‘tax’ arrangement.. A contract which comes with a thousand limitations on what the Church is allowed to propound, and what it is NOT allowed to talk about. (Which contract ‘Hushmoney.org founder - Peter Krenshaw pointed out - was never necessary to begin with. The Constitution already provides for a tax free status for churches. His book - ‘In Cesar’s Grip’ is worth a carefull read.)
Why did Churches climb on board so willingly?
Certainly some don’t know their own Constitutional rights, and others, to an extent, joined to ‘legitimize their organization in the eyes of the world’, thinking that, being part of something large (The US government) gives them a sort of ‘protection’ and ‘status’ they don’t have without it. IGnoring of course that their ‘protection and status’ was ever so much more powerful and significant when Christ was the head of their organization. A 501c3 Church is not beholden to Jesus, it is beholden to the IRS.
OK there’s more he led me to think about.
Both the RAPTURE and its sister theology - OSAS - are not unlike the entire false philosophy of the zionists - who imagine they can ‘escape’ judgment for any crime they commit, because they are believe they are 'God’s CHOSEN’. Only such enormous error and arrogance can possibly explain their abominable behavior.
The end of the thing for both parties - is going to be rather as the prophet said,
‘None of the righteous things that person has done will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness they are guilty of and because of the sins they have committed, they will die.’ Ezekiel 18:24
Sure, that was written to Israel, but the Church should be painfully aware of the mindset of the Lord.
And ISRAEL or anyone thinking they are Israel, ought to be painfully aware of this mindset of the Lord.
Could it be this is why the Lord God will ‘Turn the captivity of Israel’ - though ‘save only a remnant’?
Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: ‘Though the number of the Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.’ Romans 9:27
‘Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand of the sea, only a remnant will return.
Destruction has been decreed, overflowing with righteousness.’ Isaiah 10:22
Those are verses to be deeply studied by all.
