The Rapture: An Unexplainable Glory

Satan is marshalling all of his deceiving powers to hinder everyone possible to miss the Rapture. After the Rapture, multitudes will be destroyed by the Antichrist crowd. It is my opinion that every Bible believer that missed the Rapture and every repentant soul will be martyred for their faith. The evil spirits that fill the atmosphere around us are flooding the world with hatred against the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. It’s easy to see the importance of the Rapture by looking at the design and hatred against the Rapture. There are four special areas, where the glory of the Rapture shines:
– Number one is the hope of this event You cannot fail to be a happy Christian if you are full of joy about His return to get you.
– Next, is the glory we will witness in the heavens as the trumpet sounds. The Heavens will be full of angels and the saints, who have died that will be returning with Christ to receive their resurrected bodies. The dead will rise first and it will be utter joy to look up as we go up.
– The glory of receiving our new bodies is the next great part of this future moment. To experience a total change from mortal to immortal is almost too much to consider. The limits of flesh will cease forever for every raptured saint.
– The glory of ascending into Heavenly Jerusalem is beautiful. The gates of Heaven will swing wide. Down the street towards the great temple, where the Father will meet us, will be a sight beyond description.
WOW! Heaven is awaiting us, the angels will be ready, and soon the time of waiting will be finished.

    Yes, I AM looking forward to our Lord’s return so much! I have warned others for hearers to be ready and I ask to be counted worthy to be in that number of Raptured saints.But, sadly, most are not listening. They think they still have “time”. Soon, Lord…..

  3. RJ

    Amen, truly agree with what Dawn expressed. And I have a friend who just cannot figure out WHY people are “continuing on as NORMAL” with life — when she mentions the rapture to people, no one bats an eye… well, as I remind her, the Bible prophecied it’d be just like it is now when it is time for the rapture!!! When people are apathetic & ignorant to the times, this is the cue that Jesus is about to descend Himself from His throne to the clouds to raise us up to meet Him!

    I do have a question though. While I think that MOST (nearly all) who become followers of Jesus during the Tribulation will be martyred, yet then *WHO*?? would populate the millenium during Jesus and our 1,000 year reign on earth – when Scripture is clear that babies will be born during that era, too (and a 100 year old will still be considered a “chiid”) Anyway, that’s something I wonder about. Would it stand to reason that a few (new converts) from the Tribulation would not be killed? Or maybe the new millenium’s population will come from the remnant of Jews who’re protected by the Lord during the Great Tribulation. satan and the antiChrist will not be able to touch THEM once they get to the rocks of their protection (which some think may be Petra)

    Well done, Pastor Joseph.

    This is one of the most concise and compact overview of the Rapture I’ve seen and should be required reading for every believer.

    The Post-Rapture period may paradoxically start out very upbeat, what with a charismatic world leader who appears to have the answers to mankind’s most pressing problems including an operational (but only temporarily) Middle East Peace Treaty.

    Probably the best news to most of the world is that all those “bigotted, intolerant Christians” will be out of the way.

    But all too soon the big party will be over and it will soon become hell on Earth.

    That _______every repentant soul will be martyred for their faith in the Great Tribulation. Jesus pray that God would keep us in the world. The 144,000 who also live threw the Great Tribulation. Your already late on your pretribulate rapture. The 7 year tribulation started Feast of Trumpets 2009. Fall of 2009 to the Fall of 2010 1 year. And were in Feb. of 2011 you can add another 5 months So why are you still here. Check out Daniel’s Timeline video at http://www.waytozion.org

    Dear Pastor Chambers,

    Yes when we see him we will be like him.

    Psalm 105:4 seek the lord and his strength: seek his face evermore.

    My heart is heavy because of the dreams that the Jewish folk had about pogroms and death.
    Our prayers must also be for the Apple of our Lords Eye.

    Years ago i dreamt that i lay upon a grassed mound, it was a warm summer day and the mound may me feel those who lay buried beneath me, i was near a death camp in Europe. Many dead Jews below cryed out and i was moved deeply by their suffering and the calling of the righteousness of the Messiah to avenge them. This dream has never left me with a dry face.

    But this time our King is near…

    Praise Jesus

    Dear Pastor Chambers,
    Please keep on talking about the Rapture ! Do it as much and as often as possible !
    For everytime you do we can be more and more on fire for Christ’s return for us and at the same time you can keep irking the heck out of these dummies that say the Tribulation already started or that there will be no Rapture or 2nd coming at all ! Keep energizing the Saints and irking the dummies !
    God bless you !
    Bill

    Note to RJ.

    I, too, think it is remotely possible that a tiny remnant of those who come to believe in Jesus may survive the Tribulation but this is only an opinion. Pastor Joseph could very well be right and if this the case, there may be those who have managed not to take the beast’s mark and survived underground, but who are still not believers. This may very well be the situation also with those desperate Jewish defenders of Jerusalem as the Antichrist’s army prepares for the final assault. It seems to me that had they been marked, they would not be resisting.
    There may be other similar pockets of resistance throughout the world – also not believers, but likewise not allies of the Antichrist. The children born to these groups in those times would be included in the population count for Millennium mortals as well.
    But when Jesus does come along with the host of heaven and glorified saints, I think they’ll rapidly become believers!

    Just yesterday a sister in Christ told me that she believed the church would be here to see the Antichrist revealed. Then the rapture would come. I told her that 2 Thessalonians has been written for our learning and admonition, and this passage says exactly the opposite of what she is saying. God says that His truth is being sent out to deliver us from all evil, the foremost of which is an evil heart of unbelief. He has told us to take heed that this type of heart not be found in one of us.

    I am not sure what all we will have to endure as the Church before the rapture. But I do personally believe that in keeping with the words of Jesus spoken in John 14: He will come for us at a time when we have some idea that He would be coming. The signs of the times are only increasing in keeping with the words of God. Behold — the Judge stands at the door. Grudge not. This is the most visible sign I see in the church right now — the offenses are abounding, even in the godly, many-year marriages we are being tested. The devil seems to be causing mates to speak harshly, be quick-tempered, worldly-minded. The mate who is walking with God must be very careful to guard his/her own heart not to be offended. For the enemies to walking with God in all the ways of God will be those closest to us — those in our own families and in the church family. Why? Because we expect better of those who we know love us and who profess to love God. If we love God, we are to prove this by the love of the brethren. For if we have done it unto the least of these, HIS brethren, we have done it unto Him. If we backbite one another in our hearts and hold grudges against ANY man/woman/child — we must realize that this one area of the demonic realm is working to hinder us from being ready for our Lord Jesus.

    I agree with Brother Chambers — I, too, have a burning desire to speak of the rapture, of the coming of the King. And I am celebrating it in my heart and praying always that I may be ready to pray, ready to share Jesus, ready to die to all embarrassments and rejections. I only want to speak God’s words to those who He has ordained to recieve and believe them. But I don’t know WHO these are. God does — and THEY will respond. But I don’t want to stand before my Lord and have Him tell me that I was afraid and loved my own life more than the life of His Son and His inheritance which is IN the saints.

    When the Lord Jesus spoke to His disciples in John 14 that He was going away and was preparing a place for them, He was speaking what He knew they would understand and be able to make application to their personal faith. Please go online and find this tract shared by Friends of Israel. It is entitled: Behold! The Bridge Groom Comes! It was written by Dr. Renald Showers. This is the best tool I’ve found to help explain the principles Jesus was referring to. Please find it, read it, pray over His words and be READY! And then, be one who joins the company of those who are out there with their lamps burning bright, searching, preaching with all that is within you — THE KING IS COMING! THE KING IS COMING! THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND! Don’t get caught up in any sin, or you will not be caught up to meet the One you call Lord in the air! Don’t be deceived! God shall not be mocked. The religious who have not the Spirit of God will be more and more hateful because they are hate-filled. They hate denying their flesh. They will have nothing to do with it and wnat to shut up the Voice/Verses of God because they are casting off all restraints, they do not want to be restrained. They love the praises of men more than the praises of God.

    I thank GOD for this brother’s uncompromising witness and His staying with the Words of the Lord. Very soon an alien gospel shall be declared, by even alien spirits — demonic entities that will be given great power to manifest as lying saviours, showing great lying signs and wonders. And I will NOT be here to see that. I will be returning IN JESUS NAME, I will be returning BEHIND the King of Kings and Lord of Lords to Armageddon, riding the white horse prepared for me and being mercifully dressed in the white, spotless clean garment of His Righteousness. This is my hope, this is my portion and I refuse to listen to any lie of the enemy of my soul the enemy of God — no matter how educated and how many verses it twists, lying against the truth.

    If you have received the love of God and the love of His truth, the Holy Spirit will enable you to recieve, believe and embrace all truth. 2 Thess. says that many will not recieve the love of the truth. These at some point very soon will be given over by God to the demonic realm where they will never again be given a chance to receive repentance and the love of God’s truth. And they will then embrace the strong delusion — the alien gospel, the New Age Antichrist. This is jy personal conviction, my personal faith, and my personal preparation. And I shall not be moved from it though the gates of hell try and try and try. I ain’t got time to let the devil get me down.
    MARANANTHA!

    Just got a magnetic strip sign for family car: Lists our prayer line-and says CHURCH IN THE AIR CHRIST IS THE WAY: even though I’m disabled and house confined’ I can still be a prayer warrier and blog to ‘get out the word to save souls before the ‘last Trumpet call.’ Whether that be in the next moment or sometime yet in the future time that is unknown to us; it seems so many believers are going through some terrible times right in our own familes and neighborhoods. its as if Satan has turned his ire on us first- he’s not dumb; he just doesn’t wnat us out their saving souls that he won’t have! I realize that in many ways I’ve been spared from what my family goes through daily having to ‘ go out into the world to work, shop and study. Often, when they encounter believers in their daily lives they are able to give support to each other in institutions that seem to be getting further from any moral or ethical principles.My family is at the top of my prayer list. Thanks for your ministry! Linda Joy Adams

    If I may, just one more response: Karen, LOVED it!! Thank you for taking the time to encourage & edify us! And your last line was a keeper!!

    Thanks Ed Wood, that does make sense. Certainly, we’ll find out soon enough!

    And to you guys who think/teach/believe there is no rapture, well each to his own I suppose. I definitely cannot see anyone going anywhere when the trumpet sounds if one out & out claims that Scripture is incorrect!
    I just do not *get* why certain comments are even allowed on here?? When they are directly contrary to the Word & to what Bro. Chambers is teaching??!! [his site, I mean] Makes zero sense. But you’re not going to stomp on our Blessed Hope ~ all the more reason we’re going up SOON!! You’re only fulfilling 2 Peter 3:3,4

    And Scripture does say one is to be an overcomer! This means we’re never perfect as long as we’re in this flesh & in these bodies, but we at least do not set out to purposely sin agsinst Him. Our highest aim should be to please the Lord with our lives. I’d suggest people go back and reread the entire N.T. & pray for your eyes to be open. No one needs to be a foolish virgin or ignorant of the Scriptures.

    Even so, COME Lord Jesus! Thank You Father, for telling us what to expect so we can know the signs and be ALERT BRIDES, waiting for Your Blessed Son’s return! We cannot wait to come Home to be forever with You! Amen! Reva (“RJ”)

    Especially to Melvin & Richard – Thank you for fulfilling Prophecy!

    2Pe 3:3 Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires.
    2Pe 3:4 They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.”
    2Pe 3:5 They deliberately forget that God made the heavens by the word of His command, and He brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water.
    2Pe 3:6 Then He used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood.
    2Pe 3:7 And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.

    “Things are going on just as they always have,” says the skeptic. “We’ve heard all the prophecy update tapes. We’ve read The Late Great Planet Earth. But where is this Second Coming everyone keeps talking about?”—little knowing that his very scoffing fulfills Bible prophecy.
    The root of skepticism and cynicism lies in a desire to follow one’s flesh and fulfill one’s lust. A denial of the return of Jesus allows people to live however they want because it removes accountability to the God who made them and who will return for them.

    How many times did Jesus say “one will be taken, and the other left”? Not everyone that says
    “Lord,Lord” will go. We had better wake up, read God’s word and understand what is about to
    take place. As we “walk curcumspectly, not as fools, but as wise” let us redeem the time! Those
    who once preached the Rapture lived like they were looking and ready. Now, many are like the evil
    servant that said, “My lord delayeth his coming,” and then began to act just like the world.
    May our vessels be filled with the oil of His Spirit and our lamps trimmed and burning brightly.
