In the Event of Global Vanishings – Read This!

To:     A Concerned Person who has no doubt been LEFT BEHIND.

From: Pastor Rob Lee

Re:     Instructions on just what to do, and not do, right now.

The fact that you are reading this tells me that you have experienced a traumatic event that has taken place.  Millions of people all over the face of the earth have mysteriously disappeared.  Millions of men, women, children, toddlers, infants, and even unborn babies are now gone.  Although widespread panic has most likely accompanied this phenomenal event, there is an explanation.  Please read the following.

I am sure by now people are saying that it was UFO’s, aliens from another planet, or a change in the evolutionary process; a ‘selective elimination’ of sorts that caused the disappearances. Some may be saying that the global vanishings were caused by some kind of high tech weapon that can vaporize people, and children are more susceptible to it.  Perhaps there are many other crazy theories.  The bottom line fact is that Jesus Christ has returned for His Church just as He said He would.  Just find a Bible and read the following passages:

• 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 – Referring to the “catching away” of the saints. 
• 1 Corinthians 15:51-54 – Referring to those who “shall not all sleep.”
• John 11:25,26 – Referring to the Resurrection of Christ’s Church

This is an event that has been prophesied in both the OT and NT books of the Bible.  Many pastors, teachers, scholars, and Christians have also believed in this global rapture event.  Christians may have differed on just when the rapture event was to occur, but the fact that you are reading this speaks clearly that it, the rapture, has finally occurred.

The global vanishings that have occurred is an event that is referred to as the Rapture of the Church.  The term “rapture” is not in our English Bible, however it comes from the word “raptis” meaning “caught up” from the Latin Vulgate (a Latin version of the Bible).  Make no doubt about it, the Rapture has occurred and you have been left behind.

This thought may sound foreign to you or perhaps you already understand about the Rapture of the Church and you are just plain scared.  Even in the midst of your fear may I encourage you to take courage and do what Jesus would have you do for such a time as this and in the end, you will find your way home.

2 Timothy 1:7 – “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power                           and a sound mind.

”WHAT TO DO NOW!

1. Don’t Panic.  God is still in control and His Holy Spirit is still present in the earth.  His promises are still just as true and His Word, the Holy Bible, it is God’s truth.   Even though you have been left behind, it’s not too late to accept the Lord into your life as your personal Lord and Savior.

The fact that you have been left behind reveals the unsaved condition of your heart.  You should be thankful that you didn’t die before the rapture, because if you had, you would be in hell right now.

            >>> If you are truly repentant of your sin and you truly believe that Jesus

                    Christ is God Almighty and only He can forgive your sin and save you;

                    than pray this prayer, believing in your heart and you will be saved.

“Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner and I know that you died for my sins.  I want you to be the Lord of my life, my personal Savior.  Please forgive me of my sins and cleanse me from my unrighteousness.  Make me a complete person, forgive me, and empower me with your Holy Spirit.  Please help in the days and weeks (months or years) to come for I know they will be difficult.  I know I missed the rapture, but I know I can still be saved.  I ask you into my heart right now Lord Jesus – Amen.” 

If you prayed that prayer than you are now saved and you can begin a new life in Christ, one that will insure your eternal residence in heaven after you die.  This is an assurance (a guarantee) that can only come from the Lord.

2 Corinthians 1:22 – “…who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a  guarantee.” 2 Corinthians 5:5 – “Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.” Ephesians 1:14 – “…who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”

You can be saved and know it for sure, by faith in Jesus.

Read – Romans 8:16-18 – You are saved if you accept Jesus into your heart.

• Understand: The devil will now move to take control of the earth now that the true Church of Jesus Christ has been removed.  The devil couldn’t do this before because the believers in Jesus would have taken their rightful authority over him in Jesus’ name. Now that the church has been removed via the rapture, the devil will move to rule over it, but in the end, he will fail, and thus, fulfill biblical prophecy.              
• >>> Read – 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Please know that many Christians who have just received Jesus will be persecuted and killed.  The anti-Christ system can’t have ‘tribulation saints’ as they are called (that’s what you are now if you accepted Jesus) blowing his cover. 

Besides all of this, the mass persecution and murder of tribulation saints has also been prophesied in Revelation 6:9-11 as the 5^th of 21 separate judgments that will be placed upon the earth over the next 7 years.

“When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. ¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” ¹¹ Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.”                                                              – Revelation 6:9-11 

WHAT’S NEXT:

What will now happen is that the central focus on the entire world will move to the middle-east.  A 7-year peace accord will be strengthened and signed between a mysterious unknown political leader who will have global influence and the nation of Israel. This person will no doubt become a world leader, one that will be received by the world as their new savior.  This man is none other than the anti-Christ himself; anything he promises to do is nothing more than a lie (see Daniel 9:24-27).

From the exact day this peace accord is signed, you can count the days: It will be 2,520 days or seven Jewish years (360 days per year) until Jesus Christ will return to the earth in His glorious physical appearing.  This is known as the Second Coming of Christ.  Jesus will establish His millennial kingdom in Jerusalem and for 1000 years, the earth will have peace and prosperity.

For now, you will now have to endure a total of 21 separate judgement events from the throne of heaven that will be thrust upon the earth as the Lord judges the people of the earth for their sin.  No doubt many people, including many believers, will be killed – perhaps even you.

If you accept Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior, you will be saved and when you pass from this life into the next, you will go to heaven because you have confessed Jesus as Lord.  The Lord has promised His people a place with Him in heaven if they believe in their heart that He is Lord and confess Him as their personal Savior (John 14:1-4).

• The anti-Christ: This political leader will work alongside another man known in biblical terms as the “False Prophet.”  One will be a political leader and the other will be a religious leader.  Their religion is false because it denounces Christ as Lord.  Their false religion basically says that there are many ways into heaven; but this is just not true.  The Bible is clear on this point, there is only ONE WAY into heaven and that is through Jesus Christ (John 14:6).  These leaders will eventually get people to take a mark or chip of some sort as an identification device in the right hand or the forehead. 

Whatever you do, DON’T TAKE THIS MARK!  It would be better for you to thirst and starve to death than to take this mark because as sure as you take it, you will have chosen to follow this new world leader and you can’t serve the Lord and the devil.

• America?

We don’t know for sure what happens to America during the tribulation, however we do know that it is no longer the dominant world power. During the “end times” or the “tribulation period” America is no longer a global super power and we are not sure what happens that causes her demise. 

                 Three things are speculated as to the outcome of America.

1. It is absorbed into the UN and becomes part of the global community.
2. It experiences a natural decline, partly because of the Rapture.
3. It is attacked with nuclear weapons and destroyed.

America as a nation, began as a Christian nation, but it has strayed. As a result, she has brought judgement upon herself.  The Church, the body of Christ in America, was the remnant that held back the severe judgement from the Lord.  Now that the Church has been removed, America’s days (and the earth) are numbered unless she repents and asks God to forgive her sin (2 Chronicles 7:14).

The immediate thing you should do right now it to get saved, get a Bible and get into a good Christian support group.  I am sure there will be many to choose from.  You also need to read up on anything that has to do with end times or the last days.  If you can access a local Bible teaching church, Christian bookstore, or Christian websites that will provide information on the Rapture of the Church.  I am sure you will have ample information to review.

The main purpose for the above advice is get you to familiarize yourself with the truth so you can in turn, help others.  Read up on the gospels, the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the New Testament.  Get to know Jesus through His Word, the Holy Bible.  Jesus does love you, but in the end, He will either be your savior or your judge.  You must choose, but choose wisely.  Jesus is the right choice for you to make.

• Secure your Dwelling:

Store up food and water and any supplies that you will need for the long haul.  You don’t have to go it alone as I am sure there will be many other people like yourself who will need assistance and who are just as scared.  You can get cash from the pockets of the believer’s who have left their clothes behind.  I am sure they won’t mind.  Just don’t mess with their credit cards; that’s stealing from the credit card companies that is.

• Help Others:

Your life as you know it will be changed forever.  It’s not about materialism; it’s about survival and spreading the gospel.  You will be like the first century Christians and the world will grow to hate you because you have chosen Christ (Matthew 24).   Just make sure that your decision sticks because in the long run, your decision for Jesus is ALL that will matter.

The tendency will be to hoard your resources and to shut others out. You will find that including the right people, safe people, will only help you as you engage your new life in Christ in a post-rapture world.

• Where are the children?

They have gone to heaven in the Rapture and the only way you will see them again is to surrender your heart to the Lord Jesus.  They were too young to make the decision for themselves so they are with Jesus because of His mercy upon them.  You may have lost a son or daughter in the vanishings, (the Rapture) but you must know that they are with Jesus in their heavenly bodies; totally loved and totally secure in heaven.  If you are not saved and you have your lost kids in the Rapture, this fact alone should be enough to motivate you to surrender your heart to Christ, not to mention the fact that you will not go to hell forever.  Remember, your children are in heaven with the Lord.  They are home and you can be reunited with them if you choose to serve Jesus and receive Him as your Lord and Savior.

• The two men on the Temple Mount:

Two men will mysteriously appear on the temple mount in Jerusalem.  They will preach the gospel morning and night for 42 months (3&1/2 years).  They will be dressed in sackcloth and it is believed that these two men are the two witnesses spoken of in Revelation 11:1-14.  These are most likely the resurrected Elijah and Enoch.  These Biblical characters never actually died, but they were taken up into heaven before their time.  These two men are men of God and not to be messed with.  They will have supernatural powers that will affect the weather conditions of the world and they will destroy anyone who tries to stop them from preaching the gospel.  They are sent by God to preach the gospel to the world.  No doubt CNN and other media new outlets will dedicate serious airtime to them, at least in the beginning.  They will be able to speak in several different languages at one time.  If you speak Russian, you will understand them in Russian.  If you speak French, you will understand them in French and so on.  Listen to them, they are speaking God’s truth!

These men really are Old Testament prophets, men of God, who will be killed at the end of the forty-two months only to be resurrected three days later.  Their purpose, to preach the gospel to the Jews and all others who will listen.

• The 144,000 Servants:

A group of 144,000 Jewish evangelists will unleashed upon the earth during this time to preach the gospel as well.  These young men will be pre-selected by the Lord for this purpose and time.  God’s goal is to get as many people saved as possible and this seven-year tribulation period which will bring more people to Christ than in all of church age.

The first 3&1/2 years of the tribulation will be bad, but not as bad as the second half of the tribulation.  If you make it to the second half, it is going to be tougher.  The first half of the tribulation brings upon the earth the seven seal and seven trumpet judgements.  These 14 judgements are unleashed as judgements from the Lord.  As a believer, you will be spared from some of them.  Again, this is God’s mercy and grace coupled with His judgment in an overall plan to restore your eternal soul, and the souls of all who would receive Jesus as Lord. 

God will meet your needs during this tribulation time (Matthew 6:25-34) and in the event that it doesn’t happen the way you think it should, He still is faithful and you must be also.

There will be widespread panic, rioting, and much death all around you as a result of the judgements and fear that the people in crisis will experience.  You should not fear death as a believer nor should you try and kill yourself either.  You have a duty to the body of Christ during the tribulation hour to be a light in a very dark place.  This is a time to trust the Lord and His leading in your life.  Remember, it’s not about you anymore, it’s about your life being totally dedicated to Jesus.

Galatians 2:20 – “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God,  who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

Israel will become the center of the world focus and much activity will occur in the Middle East. 

10. How does it end?

     After the seven-year tribulation period; 2,520 days from the signing of the peace treaty

     between Israel and the anti-Christ, Jesus will return to earth. 

He will come back in the clouds and with great glory.  The first place He will go is over the plains of Megiddo in Northern Israel.  There He will defeat the armies of the earth who have assembled themselves to overtake Israel.  They will lose and Jesus will win.  Jesus will then set His feet on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem and when He does, there will be a great earthquake. 

There and then Jesus will begin the process of setting up His earthly millennial kingdom.  This process takes 75 days and then the world as we know it will change again.  We will enter into a time of global cleansing of the earth, where Jesus will rule the world from Jerusalem and life will get seriously better.  People will live longer and prosper in health, wealth, and they will love the Lord and worship Him ONLY. 

It will be like no other time in earth’s history.  This period of time is known as the Millennial Reign of Christ and it will last 1,000 years.  During this time, the devil will be bound and his influence upon mankind will be halted. 

I am sure you have a million questions about a lot of the stuff mentioned in this pamphlet.  I offer you this advice, read the Bible, expose yourself to material that will support the Bible and bring you a better understand to the Word and the times you are now living in.  Get into a good group of believers who will help you to know what to do for such a time as this.

There are many more believers out there; help each other out. The local church will be different now but it’s where other believers will be gathered, it may not be an actual church, it might be in someone’s home, a garage, an abandoned warehouse or some place in the wilderness.  These other ‘tribulation saints’ will not doubt be confused, scared, and wondering what to do also. 

Love and support each other and know that the Lord has not left you or forsaken you even in this hour, He is with you, He loves you and knows that it has taken an event like this one to get you to realize the plight of your sin nature.  I beseech you to choose the Lord this day and begin that new life in Christ, no matter how long or short of a time you may have.

Let’s Review:

Change your ways and choose Jesus.  His Holy Spirit will guide you.  Remember, many Old and New Testament believers who went before you also had to suffer for the kingdom’s sake; so this trip may get a bit rough at times.  Just focus on your decision for Christ and pray for guidance as you organize.  Feel free to use the church facilities and resources.  We are hoping, praying and believing that you will make all the way home.

May I pray for you?  

“Dear Jesus, I pray for this person who is reading this right now.  I pray for them to be secured in You.  I pray they choose to accept You as their personal Lord and Savior.  I pray they will be comforted during this time of tribulation and I pray that they will be provided for as they try to survive during this time of trial upon the earth.  Please give them the wisdom and direction to know what to do next and I pray that You will send others to come alongside this one who is hurting and scared.  I bless them Lord and pray Your mercy will prevail upon their lives.  Should they die before Your glorious appearing, may they prove themselves faithful all the days of their life and may You give them a desire for the Word and a hunger for the truth.  I ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

God Bless you, He is with you,
