What I feared would happen came TRUE yesterday!
Kay and I were watching DAYSTAR television when a program came on that caught my FULL ATTENTION. It was entitled, "Did We Get It Wrong?" 
|
I have had a burden on my heart for several years that has had me interceding for CHRISTIAN TELEVISION NETWORKS to have their "THEOLOGICAL EYES" opened concerning the "TIMING" of the RAPTURE.
Since we are SAVED by GRACE and NOT by CORRECT THEOLOGY, we can be totally mistaken as to the "TIMING" of the RAPTURE without directly putting out ETERNAL SOUL at RISK. However, I believe that is about to change!
As I have expressed, my DEEP CONCERN is that the CHURCH when faced with the REALITY of the KILL SHOT, will be so utterly challenged to justify why GOD would allow for such HORRIBLE TRIBULATION that it would open up CHRISTIANS to DEMONIC DOCTRINES that could ENDANGER ETERNAL SOULS!
To put it another way, once "ALL HELL" breaks loose within the Northern and Southern Hemispheres upon the arrival of the KILL SHOT'S CME/EMP, if a given CHRISTIAN had wholeheartedly "bought into" the PRETRIBULATIONAL RAPTURE point of view, then how on Earth will that person be able to face the resulting CHAOS THEOLOGICALLY?
To summarize the "flawed theology," GOD LOVES HIS CHILDREN TOO MUCH TO ALLOW FOR THEM TO GO THROUGH THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
Let me open up a PARENTHESIS. I find that statement to be EXTREMELY FLAWED and NAIVE based on CHURCH HISTORY and the PRESENT CONDITION of CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION that exists in many areas of the world today. It seems to me to be an AMERICAN, a BRAZILIAN, a CANADIAN, an ARGENTINIAN etc. DOCTRINE that is NON-EXISTENT in countries like IRAN, NORTH KOREA, CHINA etc.
BIBLICAL DOCTRINE is UNIVERSAL in its APPLICATION! If a given doctrine has a huge number of "EXCEPTIONS," then said doctrine is FALSE!
BIBLICAL DOCTRINE has to "play just as well" in IRAN as in ILLINOIS!
One other CLARIFICATION before I continue is that even though I believe that the USA is going to be THRUST into a time of GREAT TRIBULATION, it STILL will NOT be THE GREAT TRIBULATION that begins with the opening of the FIFTH SEAL when "souls under the ALTAR are given 'white robes' and told to be patient concerning their request for the VENGEANCE of GOD to be poured out upon those who caused their MARTYDOM."
Let me reword that RUN ON SENTENCE! When the KILL SHOT "HELL" begins, it will feel like we are in the GREAT TRIBULATION! No electricity, no running water, no internet, no electronic communication! JUST TOTAL ANARCHY and EARTHQUAKES! If that isn't "TRIBULATION," then what is it?
However, it still will not be THE GREAT TRIBULATION because that will ONLY BEGIN on DAY 1260!
THE GREAT TRIBULATION when compared to REGIONAL TRIBULATIONS has NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH INTENSITY OF SUFFERING, BUT RATHER WITH THE SCOPE OF SUFFERING!
Even when all HELL breaks out in the two hemispheres following the KILL SHOT, in some places of the world, the CHURCH may still be living "UNSCATHED" by HELL'S WRATH!
That CHANGES when the ANTICHRIST on DAY 1260 enters the REBUILT TEMPLE to prophetically fulfill his ABOMINATION! On that day, every person who names the NAME of CHRIST will be TARGETTED by the ANTICHRIST SYSTEM, HENCE THE GREAT TRIBULATION!
Since I dealt specifically with the PRE, MID, POST, PRE-WRATH of GOD doctrinal considerations in YESTERDAY'S EDITORIAL (still a work in progress) I won't delve deeper into the subject here, but suffice it to say that several months ago, I felt that once it became APPARENT that the PRETRIBULATIIONAL RAPTURE THEOLOGY was errant, then the SECOND PHASE of the DIABOLIC DOCTRINAL FIASCO would kick in. My theory was that when "PRESSED" to justify obvious DOCTRINAL MISSTEPS, that some PRETRIBULATIONALISTS would MORPH into MIDTRIBULATIONALISTS!
I hope that I don't "LOSE" you in the THEOLOGICAL WOODS!
Yesterday's DAYSTAR program began with a DEAR BROTHER in CHRIST giving his AMAZING TESTIMONY that had tears welling up in my eyes. The "TEASER" of "DID THE CHURCH DOCTRINALLY MISS IT" had me anxiously awaiting when Pastor Alan DiDio would DIVE into the DOCTRINAL REVELATION.
Then the "SHOCK and AWE" moment came!
I didn't even finish watching the program after I saw where Pastor DiDio was headed! My concern of a SECOND DOCTRINAL HELLISH COUP turned into reality on DAYSTAR! Instead of stating clearly that the CHURCH would still be present during THE GREAT TRIBULATION, he MAINTAINED his PRETRIBULATIONAL RAPTURE INTERPRETATION intact.
Without listening to his doctrinal justification, it became rapidly apparent that Pastor DiDio is a CLASSICAL "MID" TRIBULATIONAL RAPTURE adherent! To be FAIR, I did not listen to his CONCLUSIONS, but just to say that the CLASSIC MID-TRIB interpretation has SERIOUS EXEGETICAL ISSUES, namely, that it still removes the SCRIPTURAL "TARGET" of the ANTICHRIST before he begins his TOTAL GEOPOLITICAL CONTROL of the entire GLOBE! He will achieve this feat by GLOBALLY REQUIRING submission to his ECONOMIC SYSTEM involving a "MARK" implanted in the RIGHT HAND or FOREHEAD of every single HUMAN BEING!
Pastor DiDio made a statement that the CHURCH will NOT be here for the WRATH of GOD during the GREAT TRIBULATION!
WRONG! WRONG! A THOUSAND TIMES, "WRONG!"
The ANTICHRIST WILL NOT PREVAIL for a SECOND once the WRATH of GOD STARTS!
I was SO hoping that DAYSTAR had "seen the DOCTRINAL LIGHT" by having a guest who was NOT still expounding a PRETRIBULATIONAL RAPTURE interpretation!
As it becomes more and more difficult to DOCTRINALLY hold to the CLASSICAL PRETRIBULATIONAL RAPTURE view in light of current events, MID-TRIB RAPTURE will greatly gain popularity amongst the former PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE scholars! This second "FLAWED DOCTRINE" will still offer great "HELLISH FODDER" for DEMONS to cause PERPLEXED CHRISTIANS to "ABANDON their Faith and accept the DOCTRINE of DEMONS!"
The DOCTRINAL "ELEPHANT" in the "ROOM" of the Western Church is evidently not finished CRUSHING CHRISTIAN NAIVETE!
Instead of taking this OPPORTUNITY to PREPARE to face HELL'S FINAL MEGA STORM, we will WASTE our TIME, EFFORT and RESOURCES on demonically invented THEOLOGIES!
GOD'S WRATH begins with the opening of the SEVENTH SEAL which takes place only HOURS after the SIXTH SEAL is broken which is the RAPTURE of the CHURCH immediately following the RESSURRECTION of the REDEEMED of ALL AGES since ADAM and EVE!
If we would focus on how very close we are to seeing the FULFILLMENT of ALL PROPHECY, possibly with our own eyes, and get EXCITED about SEEING our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST up-close-and-personal, then our MOMENTARY SUFFERING which may even include a HELL ON EARTH KILL SHOT SCENARIO, we would keep our heads held high due to OUR BLESSED HOPE of HIS APPEARING!
SHALOM!
