PROGRAM OF GOD
Pre-Flood Era: The rapture of Enoch who walked with God.
Old Testament Period: The rapture of Elijah.
Church Age (beg): The resurrection of Jesus Christ and the Old Testament saints at the Feast of Firstfruits.
Church Age (end): The translation of the Church will occur before the Tribulation Period.
Great Tribulation (beg): The two witnesses will be killed, resurrected 3 days later and taken into heaven.
The Millennium (beg): Resurrection of the Tribulation saints.
PROGRAM OF SATANIC DUPLICATION
Pre-Flood Era: Occultists believe that the ancient gods were once mortals who became divine by ascending or transcending the material.
Old Testament: In the initiation rites of cultures which worshipped the sun, sunrise was regarded as the time of resurrection.
Church Age: The apostate church promulgates many false doctrines concerning the rapture; one false teaching is that the wicked will be raptured.
Tribulation: The rapture/translation of the true Church will be rationalized on earth and celebrated as God's removal of the wicked.
Great Tribulation: The Antichrist will refer to the resurrection of the Church as 'the rapture of the wicked'. A false resurrection - the transfiguration or deification of mankind - will occur under the oversight of the False Prophet and a counterfeit 144,000 (monastics).
PROPHETIC DISPENSATIONS
PROGRAM OF GOD
PRE-FLOOD ERA
· The rapture of Enoch.
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. - Gen. 5:24
OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD
· The rapture of Elijah.
And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal... And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by the whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more... - 2 Kings 2:1, 6-1
CHURCH AGE (beginning)
· The resurrection of Jesus Christ and the Old Testament saints at the Feast of Firstfruits (Easter).
God is gone up with a SHOUT, the Lord with the sound of a TRUMPET. - Psalm 47:5
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. - Matt. 27:52-53
And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven - Acts 1:10-11
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. - Lev. 23:10-11
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the FIRSTFRUITS of them that slept. - I.Cor.15:20
CHURCH AGE (end)
· The rapture of redeemed humanity out of every kindred, tongue, people and nation BEFORE the Tribulation Period.
"And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. - Rev. 5:9-10
o The rapture will be a bodily resurrection.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised...- I Cor. 15:52
o The rapture will be a physical transformation.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. - I.Cor.15:51-3
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the FIRSTFRUITS of the spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. - Rom. 8:23
o The rapture will be an ascension.
...the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a SHOUT, with the voice of the archangel, and with the TRUMP of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord...But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you... But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. - I.Thes.4:15-5:4
After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne...- Rev. 4:1-3
· Only the TRUE CHURCH of Jesus Christ will escape the Tribulation period.
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. - Rev. 3:7-10
GREAT TRIBULATION (beginning)
· The two witnesses will be killed, resurrected 3 days later and taken into heaven.
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. - Rev.11:7-12
MILLENNIUM (beginning)
· Resurrection of the Tribulation saints.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. - Rev. 20:5-6
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. - Hosea 6:1-3
PROGRAM OF SATAN
The mystery of the Church, more properly termed "the called out ones" or ekklesia in Greek, is that the Bride of Christ holds a special position in dispensational history and will reign with Christ on earth during the Millennium. Modern translations try to obscure the special relationship of Christ to His Bride and her catching away prior to the Tribulation Period, at which time the dispensation of God's dealings with Israel will resume. When the resurrection of the true Church occurs, the occult will do damage control by claiming that this event was the removal of the wicked from the earth.
PRE-FLOOD ERA
· Occultists believe that the ancient gods were once mortals who became divine by ascending or transcending the material realm.
"How can it be that the gods Ast (Isis), Asar (Osiris), Suti (Set), and Nebt-Het (Nephthys) were born as mortals according to some legends, yet born divine (from the union of Nuit and Geb) according to others?...
"So let us suppose that [Nuit's] children were born and lived as ordinary mortals on some other world within the vastness of space, until the moment that, for whatever reason and by whatever means, each in turn 'ascended' to divinity -- escaping the gravity well of their own native world -- and were born, or rather bourne, through Nuit's gate to become as gods in this world. It is said that Asar was the first born of Nuit, followed in turn by Suti, Ast, and Nebt-Het. Taking the lifestories of each of these four and assembling them chronologically allows for the maintenance of the order of ascension that this new theory suggests." - 877
OLD TESTAMENT
· In the initiation rites of cultures which worshipped the sun, sunrise was regarded as the time of resurrection.
"A symbol both of the rising sun and of the dead sun god Osiris, from whom it sprang and to whom it was sacred...the Benu [the phoenix] not only typified the new birth of the sun each morning, but...became the symbol of the resurrection of mankind..." - 1127:371 (Vol. 2)
"...Since the times of the Ancient Egyptian kings, resurrection has always occurred at dawn with the rising of the morning star." - 96:203
· Egyptian initiates were taught to ascend by demons posing as the pre-flood gods.
"Egyptian civilisation was deliberate alchemical experiment. It was recognised that the lives of a large number of people would be lived in the pre-initiatory states of imperfection, but that they could be brought to the portals of initiation through the help and example of others who were on the path of initiation.... Out of these disciples and initiates there were always a few who were able to go beyond the Lesser Mysteries and enter the Greater Mysteries of Light - the 'reddening'. Those who entered the Greater Mysteries (in the four great temples) represented the 'exalted' or 'chosen ones' of Is-Râ-El - the 'golden suns' who were raised up and, 'in the twinkling of an eye', transmuted into the 'fiery light' of celestial being." - 889:47
