What
is the danger in having an incorrect rapture view?
The main danger I see in not
having a correct rapture view is that a Christian could be caught unawares in
the midst of the tribulations of Seals 1 to 5. Jesus warned against this;
Luke 21:34
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts
be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so
that day come upon you unawares.
Being caught unawares would
leave a person unprepared and subject to greater suffering.
Having an incorrect rapture
view could also land someone in hell. Let me give you an example, suppose that
the last 7 years has started, but a “Christian” person does not believe they
are in the last 7 years because the rapture has not occurred yet. And then the government
pronounces that in order to buy or sell you have to have a biometric identifier
in your right hand or forehead. The “Christian” person does not believe it is
the mark because they reason that the mark comes about after the rapture. So
they take it and now they are damned to hell.

is the danger in having an incorrect rapture view?
Answer: It would cause someone to be caught unprepared for the tribulations of seals 1 to 5 and it could land someone in hell.

Review:
Question:
Is the rapture in the Bible and if so what does the rapture entail?
Answer:
The word rapture describes the end times Biblical event where the saints are
taken up into heaven.
Question:
What is the reason for the rapture?
Answer:
The reason for the rapture is to remove Christians from the earth before God’s
wrath is poured out upon the world.
Question:
Where in the Bible is the rapture mentioned?
Answer:
It is plain to see that the rapture is mentioned many times in the Bible.

Jesus comes to the clouds, a trumpet sound is heard, the dead in Christ rise,
and the saints are caught up to heaven.
Question:
What phrases or words in the Bible refer to the rapture?
Answer:
“Caught up,” “our gathering together unto him,” “we shall be changed,” “shall
gather together his elect,” “one shall be taken.”
Question:
What other name is given to the rapture event?
Answer:
The synonymous terms the Day of the Lord or the Day of Christ.
Question:
What must occur before the rapture?
Answer:
A falling away, the man of sin or antichrist revealed, the abomination of
desolation, the sun darkened, and the moon turned to blood.
Question:
Is the rapture imminent?
Answer:
No, because several things must occur first, which have not occurred yet.
Question:
When in the end times does the antichrist perform the abomination of desolation
and take over the world?
Answer:
Respectively just before and at the midpoint.
Question:
When in the end times are the sun darkened and the moon turned to blood, etc.?
Answer:
After the opening of the sixth seal.
Question:
What else occurs after the opening of the sixth seal?
Answer:
A great earthquake moving every island and mountain, a meteor shower, the sky
splits open, men see Jesus in the sky, and God’s wrath begins.
Question:
Considering all the previous scriptural facts, when in the end times do the
facts tell us that the rapture will occur?
Answer:
After the opening of the sixth seal.
Question:
When in the end times is the sixth seal opened and the rapture occurs?
Answer:
The sixth seal is opened and the rapture occurs at an unknown time after the
midpoint.
Question:
What are the most prominent objections to the sixth seal rapture and why are
those objections incorrect?
Answer:
One prominent objection states that God’s wrath begins at Seal 1 and thus the
rapture must occur before Seal 1 is opened. This is incorrect because Seals 1
to 5 are tribulations; scripture succinctly tells us that God’s wrath begins
after the opening of Seal 6.
Another
prominent objection states that Rev 3:10 infers the rapture occurs before the
last 7 years begin. This is incorrect because an examination of the Greek words
in the passage tells us that the rapture removes Christians out of the midst of
tribulation.
Question:
If the rapture does not begin the last 7 years, then what does begin the end
times?
Answer:
A peace treaty made with the many.
Question:
Will the antichrist be involved in the signing of the peace treaty?
Answer:
He may be involved in the initial signing of the peace treaty with the many,
but does not have to be.
Question:
Are we in the last 7 years now?
Answer:
If the Dan 9:27 treaty with the many was signed on October 13, 2025, then yes,
we are in the last 7 years now.
Question:
What will a Christian be faced with during the end times?
Answer:
The tribulations of Seals 1 to 5 including not being able to buy or sell
without the mark.
What
is the danger in having an incorrect rapture view?
Answer:
It would cause someone to be caught unprepared for the tribulations of seals 1
to 5 and it could land someone in hell.
Conclusion:
Here
is the shocking truth; the rapture will not occur until after the opening of
the sixth seal. Thus, a Christian will be
faced with living through the first five seals including not being able to buy
or sell without taking the mark.
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free. Jn 8:32.
It is the truths of God’s Word that gives us freedom.
Aren’t you glad you know the truth about the rapture now and don’t you wish you
would have known this a long time ago?
