The Timing of the Rapture is Revealed by Comparing Scripture!

 


Have you ever compared the end time discourses by Jesus in the three Gospels; Matthew, Mark, and Luke and then compared them with the events listed in Revelation. If you do, it will yield an interesting result. Take a look… 

 

 

Matthew 24

Mark 13

Luke 21

Revelation 6,7

Deception

5.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

8.  And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived

2.  And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

War

6.  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars:

7.  And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars

9.  But when ye shall hear of wars and commo-tions

4.  And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth

 

Famine,

Pestilence,

Earthquakes

7. and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8. there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles

11. And great earth-quakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences

5. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.  6.  A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

 

8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Sorrows

8.  All these are the beginning of sorrows.

8. these are the beginnings of sorrows

 

 

Persecution

9.  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you:

9. for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten:

 

9.  And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

A of D

15.  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation

14.  But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation

 

 

Great

Tribulation

21.  For then shall be great tribulation

19.  For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation

23. for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people

 

Signs in sun, moon, stars

29. Im-mediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven

24. after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25.  And the stars of heaven shall fall

25.  And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars

12.  And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13.  And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth

See the Lord

30.  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven…and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds

26.  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds

27.  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud

16. Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

Rapture

31.  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect

27.  And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds

 

7:9,14. lo, a great multitude, which no man could number…These are they which came out of great tribulation,

 

So, what do we see? 

In all 3 Gospels Jesus starts off talking about deception which undoubtedly emphasizes the fact that one of the underlying tenets of the end times will be deception. That is what the devil and his workers are all about—deception. And it is interesting to note that the first event of the end times is the Seal 1 rider on the white horse that conquers the world with no arrows—undoubtedly through deception. 

Then Jesus talks about wars and rumors of wars, which aligns with the Seal 2 red horse that removes peace from the earth. 

And then next Jesus speaks of famines, pestilences, and earthquakes. This aligns with the 3rd and 4th Seals—the black and gangrene horse that bring a scarcity of food and death. 

Thus, so far what Jesus tells us will happen in the end times aligns perfectly and in chronological order with the first 4 Seals of Revelation 6. Jesus further tells us that these are only the beginning of sorrows 

And what comes next in the end times timeline explained by Jesus? He says Persecution will come, which also aligns with the next event in Revelation—the Seal 5 persecution—the great tribulation. 

And then Jesus tells us when He is coming back at the rapture, He says. 

29. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven 

30.  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven…and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds 

31.  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect. 

Are you getting this? After the tribulations of Seals 1 to 5 Jesus says the sun will be darkened, the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven. Seal 6 is the time when the sun is darkened, the moon does not give its light and the stars fall. 

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 

Then Jesus tells us that He will appear in the clouds and the saints are gathered to Him at the rapture.

Thus, an examination of the end times chronology presented by Jesus in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and then comparing it to the events of Revelation 6, this clearly shows that the rapture follows the opening of Seal 6. 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

  1. This author is biblically illiterate... The rapture happens before the seven year tribulation period... Now while this is not a salvation issue, the slide to apostacy always begins with misquoting misusing twisting scripture into your own agenda... Scripture is not of private interpretation.

    1. I could say the same about you but instead of name calling how about we engage in an exchange of ideas. I will start.

      Do you agree that the rapture occurs at the Day of the Lord?

    2. William...In my opinion...no amount of words will change "most" pretribbers....and it will probably take them experiencing lots of tribulation before they realize the other view was correct and we were just sincerely trying to give a heads up warning so they could better prepare. Some will see their folly immediately and will adapt. Unfortunately many will fall away , not believing God would allow such to happen....but...hey...He has been warning us in so many places in His WORD!
      Then there will be many that will be behind the 8-ball and they will be of the 5 foolish virgins wanting our stuff.

      There is a scripture I can't quote the book/chapter/ and verse of...but paraphrasing it basically says to shake the dust off our feet and move on from people. You will sense that any more effort to help will just be a useless waste of time that only provokes anger.
      I pray we ALL are enlightened.

    1. The pretrib trap locking Christians in a state of unpreparedness is a very important current affair. And whenever the nukes detonate many pretribbers will be shaken to the core--hopefully they will have an epiphany

    2. No William..we are prepared and we will fly when WW3 is about to begin. No true believer will be left behind into Tribulation period which will follow when first nuclear bomb has blown up.

    3. So Olli after the first nuclear bomb goes off and you are still here, what will you believe then?

  3. William what do you believe will happen our our children during the tribulation? I have a 2 yr old and 6 month old and the thought of them suffering hunger disease or persecution because of my beliefs worry my soul...I know the Bible says woe unto them who gives suck in those days or with child....will God spare the children of believers or will we watch our/his innocent child starve or suffer disease or possibly killed due to my beliefs... Didn't God allow Herod kill all the children under 2 during the time of Christ...I don't know as strong as my faith is could I watch that...

    1. Until a child reaches "the age of accountability" where they have enough mental capacity to understand the gospel, I believe that these little ones will be raptured alongside the saints.

      14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

      15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:

      16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

      17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

      18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

      19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

      This passage is describing the great tribulation and includes a discourse to the nation of Israel. Unsaved Israel will flee into the wilderness, and it will be a time of great distress.

      Christians will be persecuted too and will face hardships too, but remember Christians are children of God and as the Bible says, I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

    1. Many children do suffer from the sins of adults including parents. I do not think God will send a person under the age of accountability because of the sins of parents or any other adult.
