It is very disappointing that the dispensational church makes little to no effort at all with instructions on what to do for the folks who do not believe or have not heard the Gospel and that will be left behind after the sound of the last trumpet. https://maplehollows.com/books/index_sg_audio.php

When Noah was here he made a boat (Genesis Chpater 6, The book of Jasher, The book of Enoch). Some were taken in the boat and many were left. No one disappeared in thin air in the days of Noah BEFORE THE FLOOD and just as in the days of Noah, (NO ONE WILL DISAPEAR BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION). Just as verse 39 happened, first “the flood came, and took them all away,” “THEN,” shall verse 40-41, “then, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” The context proves that the tribulation comes before the return of Christ and that the idea of the “Pre-Trib-Rapture” is not supported in this context. The only ones on the ark were the ones that had not corrupted themselves with the mixtures of man and beasts and species of the world. The only ones taken are those sheep that hear his voice and follow him. The only animals taken were the ones that had Gods breath of life in them. Noah endured to the end in the safety of Gods protection on Earth just as the few remaining believers of Christ’s Church must endure life on Earth trusting in God for their safety, food and continuous life during the “flood comparison” of the great tribulation spoken of in Mathew 24. Being “taken” or raptured, is the harvest where the wheat is separated from the chaff (in the wind). It does not say that those that are “left” must endure to the end because he is declaring that the end (verse 3) being referenced is happening at the point where he returns. (verse 42) Those that are “left” face the fire of destruction just as the chaff is burned. “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.“ Isa_29:5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. Mat_3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. “Mat 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” When Christ returns, he is not coming to take the western culture church body; he is coming for his bride that he went to prepare a place for as promised. His bride is and always has been Israel that Jesus came to when he came to his own and his own did not receive him. Those that are saved by grace that are not of Israeli blood line are grafted into that bride. Those grafted in that are not of Israeli decent are grafted in to Israel do not take the place of Israel, by becoming Christ’s new and separate bride. They are grafted into the same or original bride and become part of her as one body or one kind. The following verses are used by many churches to support the end of the grace periods’ “rapture” event. With that said, I sugest you go through each verse to reveal and comment on the context to see what the actual context is about. My questions for each verse are as follows: 1. Does the pre-trib-rapture event that the main stream church believes in give the church immunity from the tribulation period spoken of in Mathew Chapter 24? 2. Is this verse talking about a pre-trib-rapture event, the second coming or something else? 2 cor 5:10 John 14:3 Luke 10:20 Mark 13:32 Rev 3:10 Mat 24:30-31 Phil 3:20-21 Rom 8:18-19 Acts 1:7-8 Daniel 12:1-2 1Cor 15:51-53 1Thes 4:16-18 Luke17:34-37 Mark 13:24-27 Rev 20:2-5 Rev 11:15-19

Once I embraced that the Earth is contained within a snow globe as defined in the Genesis creation story, the presence of God over everything contained within and without became a fearful and sobering understanding.

While the birth of Christ is a cause for celebration it is also a cause for mourning because the news of his birth made the king in Israel order that all the male children 2 years and younger be killed in Bethlehem and the surrounding areas.
