Terry James: Rapture – Answering the Critics


Rapture – Answering the Critics
Terry James


This generation is full of scoffers, mocking the prophesied return of Jesus Christ to Planet Earth. This is as the great Apostle Peter foretold it would be at the end of the Age of Grace (Church Age).

“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation” (2 Pet 3:3-4).

God’s prophecies are 100% accurate, so it doesn’t surprise in the least that there is scoffing and mocking today, exactly as one of God’s prophets said there would be as time nears the Lord’s return. There are many signals occurring simultaneously, and with phenomenal frequency and intensity, pointing to where we are on God’s Prophetic Timeline. Chief among these are all of the geopolitical dynamic intrigues surrounding the nation Israel – God’s Prophetic timepiece. The sneering at the thought that there could possibly be a Rapture just throws fuel on the fire of the end of days deluge – the end that is coming in with a flood of last days indicators as foretold by Daniel the prophet.

“And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined” (Dan 9: 26).

Daniel was foretelling what would happen from the time the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would die for the sins of mankind, until the very end of human history at Armageddon. Great, convulsing, prophesied issues and events would, near the very end of the age, he forecast, gush through the generation alive at the time like a flood.


Daniel’s end-time flood

One of those predicted events of the end-time flood is the level of anger that will be against believers who proclaim that one of the most stupendous events of all human history will one day – perhaps very soon—take millions upon millions from the earth’s surface in a fraction of a second.

We receive in our e-mail each week any number of messages declaring that the Truth we champion regarding Bible Doctrine and prophecies – particularly the Pre-Trib Rapture of the Church — are everything from ludicrous to heretical. This criticism gets especially intense whenever the raptureready.com website is written or spoken about in a major media outlet. That is to be expected, because there can be no spiritual discernment among those of the lost world. Believers in Jesus Christ can understand, while those who do not belong to God’s Family through belief in His only begotten Son cannot understand.

“For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Cor. 2:11-14).


We can go through the vast body of scriptural text, laying out the Bible facts, as we are confident God’s Word presents Truth about the Rapture. But, unless and until one is capable of spiritual discernment from the Holy Spirit, a person, no matter how intellectually brilliant, can never come to believe those facts. They might even come to understand the facts in a purely cerebral sense, but never truly comprehend them to the point of knowing that the Rapture is a cataclysmic event in the future of one particular generation of earth’s inhabitants.

Dealing with the Body of Christ –all born-again believers—is quite another thing when it comes to our frustration meter. It becomes a bit more disconcerting when our efforts to put out Truth about prophecy, and the Rapture in particular, are met with the same arguments, no matter how thorough and how cogently we organize and present what God’s Word has to tell His children about these matters.


There are, of course, the die-hard preterists (believing that most all prophecy has been completed or should be spiritualized) and the reform replacement theological enclaves (those who declare God’s promises have been taken from Israel and given to the church). These make their living throwing mudballs – usually with stones at the centers—at those of us who proclaim the Truth that Jesus will come for His Church –all born-again believers—BEFORE the Tribulation era – the last 7 years of human history that culminates at Armageddon.

Those who refuse to see 2 programs of God’s dealing with mankind, Israel, and the Church — these two dovetailing into one magnificent prophetic culmination — castigate us who believe that God deals with His creation called man dispensationally (the ages of Adam, Noah, Moses, Abraham, David, the Church, Tribulation, Millennium, etc.).

The Emerging Digital Beast System


New World Order is here and in your face: Critical timeline exposes freedom-killing plot quietly empowered by emerging digital beast system


Some people call it the digital control grid. Others call it the surveillance state. Still others refer to it as the matrix, the panopticon, or skynet. I call it the beast system.

Whatever you wish to call it, I think it’s fair to say that it’s growing. And it keeps growing no matter which political party holds power in Washington. But it advances in drips and drabs, it creeps in quietly, one law, one executive order at a time, with little to no media coverage. Like a slow-growing cancerous tumor, it functions as a silent killer. A killer of freedom.

Context is everything when trying to understand the globalist plan for a one-world system of total control over all human behavior.

And context is what’s often missing from most reporting on the subject.

So, I’ve constructed a working timeline showing various highpoints of the emerging beast system as it relates specifically to the methodical, step-by-step crushing of freedom in what was once the freest country in the world, America. Keep in mind that the devastating trendline I’ve exposed in this article speaks not only to the loss of freedom in America but the entire world, because once you eliminate the idea of America being the global beacon of individual freedom, the rest of the world will fall like dominos.

I would argue that freedom has already been 90 percent eliminated in America, but the idea or perception that America stands for freedom still persists in the minds of many around the world, even if not nearly as powerfully as it did 50 or 60 years ago.

It is my belief that the billionaire globalist power elites entered their final phase of a global takeover during the Covid pandemic, when they began taking off their masks and no longer pretending to be running a free country. People like Dr. Anthony Fauci openly mocked those who chose freedom over his iteration of “safety” and “security.”

Since then, the technocrats see it as crucial to eliminate even the perception of America as a beacon of freedom. If it takes a world war to finish the job, then they will take us to World War III. Since depopulation is also a major component of their takeover plans, you can bank on World War III continuing to heat up around the world at key flashpoints – Ukraine, Iran, Lebanon, and new fronts yet to be opened such as Taiwan, Cuba and other places.

But while wars tend to steal the headlines, it’s what’s happening in the shadows, where few are watching, that delivers the real goods in terms of government and corporate power over the individual. Global financial oligarchs and their allied tech bros are constructing a digital noose they intend to hang around every person’s neck, starting with smart phones, tablets and TVs, and moving on to autonomous smart cars, smart appliances and digital gauges of all sorts, some of which will ultimately be implantable as part of your “health.” 

These devices, promoted on the basis of health, safety, and convenience, are being used to spy and create a social-credit scoring system that rewards the compliant and punishes the non-compliant. This digital scoring system, powered by AI, will include not only your actions, your purchases, your eating and travel habits, but also your opinions expressed in online platforms. Rights will be terminated, replaced with privileges granted by nameless, faceless overlords and enforced by digital algorithms.

Below is my timeline, which taken in its totality point towards something bigger than what is typically thought possible when these events were reported in isolation. I have reported on almost all of this previously, but to see it all in one place in a timeline is, I believe, incredibly powerful and worthy to be shared with your friends and family who doubt the existence of an emerging digital control grid.

Israel bombs Lebanon as Hezbollah rejects ‘shameless surrender’


Israel bombs Lebanon as Hezbollah rejects ‘shameless surrender’
RT


Israeli strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon have injured and killed dozens of civilians, less than 24 hours after West Jerusalem and Beirut agreed to a US-mediated ceasefire proposal.

At least eight people were killed and 15 others wounded on Thursday in a series of strikes targeting the towns of Sohmor, Masaken and Arab Al-Jalil, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.

Meanwhile, the IDF said an anti-tank missile fired by Hezbollah killed an Israeli soldier in southern Lebanon. Israel also blamed Hezbollah for the death of a UN peacekeeper wounded in a mortar shell attack the night before.

The US State Department said on Wednesday that Israel and Lebanon had agreed to implement a ceasefire contingent on “a complete cessation”of Hezbollah fire and the evacuation of its fighters from the South Litani Sector. The statement said the two sides had also agreed to advance “pilot zones” where the Lebanese Armed Forces would eventually take exclusive control, “to the exclusion of all non-state actors.”


Hezbollah was not a party to the Washington talks and has said any arrangement that demands its withdrawal while Israel keeps troops in southern Lebanon would reward occupation rather than end the conflict.


Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem called the Washington-backed arrangement a “shameless”attempt to force Lebanon into surrender, saying it amounted to a “roadmap to annihilate part of the Lebanese people.” Qassem said Hezbollah would not leave southern Lebanon while Israeli forces remain inside the country, and warned that northern Israel would also remain under threat as long as Lebanon is bombed.

US President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday that he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and “actually spoke to Hezbollah about it,” dismissing the notion that the group was rejecting the initiative.

“They wouldn’t reject me, they didn’t reject,” he said, insisting that “progress” was being made between Israel and Lebanon. “It would be really nice if Lebanon could have some peace. Lebanon’s been under attack for so many years.”

The latest fighting followed weeks of Israeli strikes and ground operations in Lebanon, including the capture of Beaufort Castle, also known as Qalaat al-Chakif. The medieval fortress, located on a strategic hilltop in southern Lebanon, was previously used by Israel during its two-decade occupation of the region, which ended in 2000.
