A Letter for Your Rapture Box

Psalm 39:4 “Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is.”

Rapture Box

The saddest thing that will ever occur is a soul that dies without Christ.  There comes a point in every person's life where they either accept or reject the free gift of Salvation that was purchased for them at the cross by the blood sacrifice of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

There was a time limit on this Age of Grace.  We do not know the exact hour or day when it will end, but the ancient Scriptures are quite clear about the signs.  Careful study shows that we are in that time.

The Age of Grace is when mankind could freely receive the gift of salvation and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, it is coming to a close.  As I write these words the hour is late.

I am not a prophet and I do not claim to have secret knowledge or insight into the vast mysteries of the Lord.  I am a simple woman who inherited a love of Bible prophecy and was given a modicum of talent for writing.

As such, I felt compelled to prepare a letter for my friends who would be left behind at the Rapture of the church.  I did this originally in 2015, but given that so much has happened in the last two years, I have been compelled to update it.  I share this with you today, in the hope that you might print and share a copy as well.

Honestly, it has been quite a struggle.  I’ve lost the work several times.  The formatting has been crazy.  I’ve published and unpublished the letter throughout the day, the importance of it weighs on me.  I’ve also tried desperately to remember who will be reading this, my typical audience is well versed in Scripture, those Left Behind will not be.

------------------------------

Dear Friend,

If you are reading these words, we are gone.  Peace be with you.  You will need that peace to carry you through what you are facing.

Jesus tells his disciples, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27).

I pray for you: “Lord, please comfort my Friend.  Please send your presence upon them now, please open their eyes and enable them to read and understand the words you have had me write.  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.”

Please do not worry about where we are, we are safe and secure with the Lord Jesus.  No matter what you are being told, hold fast to that truth, your eternal soul depends on it.

This letter is going to be the most straightforward and frank piece that I’ve ever written, for the time has passed for smooth words that cajole and coddle.  You are in dire straits and the words I am about to write are the only way to save your eternal soul.

The Church and with it the restraining goodness of the Holy Spirit on this Earth is gone.  

A Pure, Righteous and Holy God is about to begin the Judgement of His Creation.  

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is giving the Nation of Israel one last chance to return to Him.

 
I am sure that the world is spinning in chaos now with the disappearance of so many people.  Whatever you have heard, do not believe it.  Jesus has returned to take His people to Heaven and the much-anticipated Rapture has occurred as was foretold in the Scriptures thousands of years ago.

The Great Disappearance

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we who are living, who are remaining over, together with them shall be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in air, and so always with the Lord we shall be.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 lo, I tell you a secret; we indeed shall not all sleep, and we all shall be changed; in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed:

I am deeply sorry that you were not with us, I cannot imagine the fear and chaos that has come upon the world after millions of Christians and all the babies and small children have instantly disappeared.

Your Last Chance

Have no doubt, these events have been established by God since the foundation of the Earth was laid.  He has a specific purpose for His Creation and you have just witnessed the greatest sign and obvious fulfillment of prophecy ever given to mankind.  You can either accept it or reject it, the choice is yours but do it now because if the window is open, it will close quickly; this letter may be your only chance.

If you have heard and rejected the Good News of Salvation through faith in Jesus Christ before the disappearances, you are in the gravest peril imaginable.

There is a chance, it is already too late and that these words I am writing to you are in vain but I must try.

In your heart, you did not believe that “for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Jesus will not die but have everlasting life.”  (John 3:16).

God will be sending a powerful delusion to those who have heard and rejected the gospel of Jesus Christ.  (2 Thessalonians 2:11) If you do not repent and accept Jesus as your Savior, you will believe the lies.  You will not be able to resist.  Once that happens, you are lost forever.

It is not scriptural, but there is an old Jewish tradition called the Days of Awe which says that on Rosh Hashanah the Lord will write the names of the Redeemed in the Book of Life.  People whose names are not written in the book have a grace period of ten days, to repent and profess their faith in God, and by their actions of faith to "appeal" the verdict.  The final determinations are made and the book is sealed on Yom Kippur.

Many Christians in the prophecy community look for the Rapture of the Church to happen on Rosh Hashanah if that timing were to happen on that day then perhaps God in His mercy will grant this brief time for repentance for those left behind.  I pray that He does.

Why Has This Happened:

To truly understand what you are facing, you must go back to the beginning.  In the time before recorded Scriptures, there was a rebellion in Heaven.  This rebellion was led by Lucifer, who recruited one third of the angels to fight with him against the Almighty.  At some point afterward, God created the Heavens and the Earth as it exists today.  He created a perfect, sinless paradise and populated it with an image bearer, Adam and Eve.

Among the perfection of Eden; enter the Deceiver; the Hater of all that is good and pure and wholesome. This envious monster loathed Adam and Eve with an unmatched fury because he hated the Almighty.  He looked upon the earth and coveted it.  He could not take it by force, his war in the Heavens had taught him that, but he could steal it.

He would have to make the man rebel.  Satan knew that if the man sinned against God that the glory and protection that allowed Adam to walk with God would depart.  Subsequently, God would not be able to be near Adam without destroying him.  God would have to leave the Earth and the Devil could take over.

His plan worked.  God is a just God and Satan knows the laws.  By causing man to sin, Satan did not receive the Earth, but some type of lease on it.  Some say this is a 6000-year period, we do not know for certain but three things are clear:

• Satan is allowed to rule the Earth for a time and is described as the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4) and Jesus does not refute his claim (Matthew 4:8-9)
• Satan knew the Laws of God and manipulated the circumstance and man in the Garden to gain control of the Earth
• Satan knows when the Earth Lease is Up (Rev 12:12)

Right now, the lease is up and the true and rightful owner is taking the Earth back.  Christ redeemed not only mankind at the cross, but God’s claim and dominion of the Earth.

Blood Sacrifice and the Cross

We do not have any concept of blood sacrifice but it is fundamental to God’s justice.

Since we have been talking about the Garden of Eden, let me pick up where we have left off, after Adam and Eve had disobeyed God.

We know that when Adam and Eve sinned, they realized they were naked (Gen 3:7).  I believe it is because the glory of the Lord no longer covered them, they were ashamed and tried to hide and cover themselves with leaves.    They were trying to cover their sin; yet mere leaves and their own efforts could not protect them from what they would face.  That is why your efforts to be a good person have found you in the quandary you are in now, you could not cover your own sin.

The Bible says that God himself killed an animal and fashioned clothing for them, thus the blood covered their sins. (Gen 3:21)  A sacrifice of blood covered their sins, but did not restore their former glory to them.  They were still alive, but no longer had fellowship with the Lord.  Their sin had caused death.  Even then, the Lord had a plan for their ultimate redemption.  (Gen 3:15)

Between Eden and the cross, the Lord instructed His people to sacrifice animals as an atonement for their sins.  The Old Testament rituals were very important because it was a legal and spiritual act that the priests were performing, but it was imperfect and had to be repeated over and over.  We see that in the garden, the sin was covered but the glory was not restored; we were still cut off from God.

In God's perfect way, He provided the sacrifice.  A perfect man, fully God and fully man, to redeem mankind and redeem the Earth.  So He came to the Earth, he lived this painful life of a man in a fallen and hurting world.  He allowed himself to be beaten, scourged, and crucified that each precious drop of His blood was the sacrifice perfect justice demanded. (John 19)

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that who so ever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

For 2000 years, this invitation has been open to all mankind.  A gift bought at a great price, but there was a time limit on the Age of Grace and that time ended with the Rapture of the Church.

Now the Judgement Begins

This seven-year period known as the Tribulation, or Jacob's Trouble.  It is set aside to bring the Jews back into relationship with God and to judge the nations over how they have treated Israel.  This is also the judgment of Satan and his fallen angels and their eviction from the Earth.

If you value truth, believe what I say to you.  Perilous times are ahead.  The painful fact is that most people that remain on the earth today will die over the course of the next 7 years.  Odds are, you and your family and friends that remain will not survive to the Second Coming of Jesus.

What is coming upon the earth is well documented; from the time Israel signs the peace treaty with the man of sin, the clock will start on the final 7 years.  There may be a lag time between the Rapture and the treaty, but we are told in Scripture that this period will be the most horrific ever recorded.

Pray this Prayer to be Saved:

To avoid eternal damnation in the fires of Hell and get to Heaven, you must pray this prayer: “Dear Lord Jesus - I am sorry that I have hardened my heart to you, I am sorry that I did not believe that you came to save me.  I am sorry that I have tried to find you with my own righteousness.  I am a sinner, please forgive me, Lord.  I confess that I believe that Jesus Christ is your Son, that He died on the cross for my sins, and was raised on the third day.  I believe that there is no other name under heaven or on earth by which we can be saved.  I ask for you to come into my life, to come into my heart, and I ask you to seal me with your mark.  Lord strengthen me for the trials to come.  Create in me a clean heart, oh God, and renew a right spirit within me.  Cast me not away from your presence and take not your Holy Spirit from me.  In my own strength, I can do nothing but I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.”

Hold on Tight

If you have prayed this prayer, memorize it and pray it often.  You have been sealed by the Holy Spirit.

You must hold tight to your salvation.  For unlike the church age, this salvation demands obedience, vigilance, and faith.   “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.” (Matt 24:12-13).

Persecution and great danger will follow, “This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God’s commandments and remain faithful to Jesus." (Rev 14:12)

The Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25 describes what will happen to believers who survive the Tribulation.  Half of them were found to have not retained their salvation.  Oil in that parable is the Holy Spirit, whom you have received a portion of if you prayed the above prayer.

This will be no easy task and many will not make it, I pray you are among those that overcome.

Truth Will Come From Israel 

You will need to study the Bible, it is logical to determine that an understanding of the Scriptures you will need to survive this time may have been hidden from us in this Age will be revealed by the Holy Spirit now.  Great teachers that will emerge from Israel.

The Bible prophecies that the Lord will raise up 144,000 Jews from the Nation of Israel (Rev 7:4) who will proclaim the Word of the Lord.  They will be the truth tellers and the teachers and will understand and proclaim what people must do to retain their Salvation during this time.  They will be the great evangelists and will be protected from the perils to come.

Revelation 11 tells us of two prophets that are sent to Israel that will prophesy at the Temple for 1260 Days.  If anyone tries to harm them they will spew fire from their mouths and consume their enemies.  When their time is finished, the AntiChrist will be allowed to kill them, their bodies will lie on the ground for 3.5 days and all the world will celebrate and give gifts to one another.  Then the Lord will breathe life into their bodies and they will be raised to life in front of the entire world.  He will call them back to Heaven and a great earthquake will shake the city.

Deception Planned for Thousands of Years

Do you think for a moment that the Rapture of the Church would have caught the Devil napping and not ready to fight his last battle?  He has always been ready.

The world will have many stories; Satan and his minions will come with many lying signs and wonders, (2 Thessalonians 2:9) they have prepared for this hour since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden when they received the lease to planet Earth.  Revelation Chapter 5 starts with the breaking of the seals on this lease.

These fallen angels are powerful beings and will amaze mankind with their tricks, Scripture says that if it were possible they would even fool the very elect.  They will have elaborate explanations as to where we have all gone.

Who They Really Are and What They Will Do

The old Enemy Satan and his demons will demonstrate amazing power and spin false tales.  Satan always tries to counterfeit God.  We see it throughout Scripture but especially in the Book of Revelation where he mimics the Triune God of the Bible with the Beast, the False Prophet, and the Anti-Christ.  Often overlooked are the “disciples”, described in Scriptures as the 10 kings.

A benevolent New World Government will emerge from the chaos.  The Bible says they will organize themselves into Ten Kingdoms (Rev 17:12).  They will claim to be the good guys, they are not.

We meet these nefarious 10 kings several times in Scripture, (Dan 2:31-35, Dan 2:40-45; Dan 7:7-8, 19-24; Rev 13:1-2; Rev 17:3,7) but most explicitly in Daniel 7:24 and then again in Revelation 17:12,16.

The imagery of Revelation requires and understanding of the symbols, a horn in ancient culture was a symbol of royal power.  It is why today, crowns have spires resembling horns.  The 10 kings, the False Prophet, and the Anti-Christ are all subservient to the Beast who is Satan.  Thus, we have the counterfeit 12 Apostles.

A leader, the Anti-Christ, will emerge from them that will be the most amazing orator, peacemaker, and problem solver the world has ever known.  He will inspire the world and they will fall at his feet.  The Apostle John is the first to use the term Anti-Christ in 1 John 2:18, 1 John 2:22, 1 John 4:3, and 2 John 7.  It is interesting to note that the term, is only used four times and never in Revelation.  We can see from the above Scriptures that the spirit of Anti-Christ was on the Earth in the 1st century.

It is smoke and mirrors, he is an evil man and midway through the Tribulation will seem to take a fatal wound to the head.  When he rises from the dead, there is no other than Satan possessing him.

In 600 bc, the prophet Daniel wrote: "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all."  Since the prophet makes sure to include that the man does not desire women, it is reasonable to conclude that this new leader will claim some sort of androgynous status.  His identity remains veiled during the Age of Grace when I write these words but you will soon know of whom the prophet spoke.

A New Religion

The False Prophet will emerge and proclaim the AntiChrist has been raised from the dead and is god.  He will erect a statue to him that will move and will direct the world to worship this leader.  Anyone who refuses will be murdered. 

Prior to this time, there will perhaps be some sort of All-inclusive religion with strong elements of Mother Nature and Gaia worship interwoven through it.  This mystery religion is as old as post-flood Mesopotamia and has come in many forms and faces, it is the Great Harlot, Mystery Babylon.  (Rev 17)

Commerce and the Mark of the Beast:

All will be required to receive a mark, either on their forehead or their hand that will allow them to buy and sell.  Anyone who refuses the mark will have their body killed, anyone who accepts it is damned to hell forever.  (Rev. 14:9-11).

Given the revelations of the Equifax massive security breach, roughly half of the American public has had their full credit history, their Social Security numbers, their addresses, and their birthdays stolen.  Couple that with millions of disappearances and there is no conceivable way for the financial institutions to know if you are who you say you are when you go to the bank to claim your money.  Thus, this will be the rationale for a new identification and worldwide payment system and financial system; the Mark of the Beast.  Under no circumstances take this mark, it will doom you to eternal fire and damnation.

Prepare For The Future

I suspect that reference material, books, websites, and bibles will be systematically eliminated.  Find a Bible and keep it with you.  Take it, use it, read it - it will be your most important weapon moving forward.  Go to gracethrufaith.com and print off as much as you can about what is coming, the doctrine and teaching on this site is solid.  RaptureReady.com was designed to survive but recent events even call that into question as they were brought down recently.  If they are up, they will have articles and research.  If you do not understand something, ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom.

Information will be quickly shut down and controlled.  We see this now, Google controls the internet, the satellites, the flow of information.  Facebook has facial recognition software for just about every human on the planet.  Amazon will quickly control commerce.  Our phones have tracked us everywhere we have gone, our cars GPS's pinpoint our exact locations.  The media companies are owned by less than a dozen companies and the entertainment world is poised and ready for propaganda the likes of which has never been seen.

How it Ends:

Now for the Good news, God wins.  He will triumph over Satan and will usher in His glorious millennial kingdom.  The earth will be restored to its original perfect state, justice, kindness, goodness, and prosperity will blanket the inhabitants.  Many that survive the Tribulation will not die but will have their bodies healed and renewed.  There IS hope.

Weapons of Faith

You can do this and the Lord will help you.  You are no longer on your own, the Holy Spirit will guide you.

Memorize the Lord’s Prayer:

Matthew 6:9-13 After this manner, therefore, pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Memorize the Full Armor of God: 

Ephesians 6:10-18 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 
Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.
For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle, you will still be standing firm.
Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 
For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.  
In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.  
Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

I wish I could tell you all that I know but I feel this letter drawing to a close.  I have not gone into detail of the consequences of not choosing the path I’ve laid out for you, I trust that you will not choose foolishly.  Know this, everyone lives forever - this puff of smoke we call life determines whether you will spend it in paradise or whether you will be tormented in the fire, sulfur, and violence forever.

There will be only one source of truth, the Bible.  Cling to it for your life, guard it, protect it - if discovered, it will get you killed but it will save your soul.

Sadly, every day it will get worse.  The judgments to come upon this Earth will get more severe.  Gather as much, food, water, and medicine and medical supplies as you can.  Download and print as much survival information on how to build shelters, ovens, and purify water.  Stash supplies in varied hiding places; much destruction will befall the world.  You are going to have to be a bad ass to survive.

Make no mistake, you are still here because you chose to be.  There is no one to blame but yourself, don't blame God, and don't blame me.  He has sent you one last lifeline, I've written it, it's up to you to act upon it.

At some point during the judgments to come, everyone will believe in God but most will hate Him.  Revelation 16:11 says, "and they cursed the God of heaven for their pains and sores. But they did not repent of their evil deeds and turn to God."  You see He will make Himself known to everyone that none will have an excuse.  I beg you now, to choose the right path.  I love you and I have prayed for you.

In Christ,
Your Loving Friend
