And I saw thrones and they that sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them. And I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the Word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast, nor his image, nor had received his mark upon their foreheads or on their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (Revelation 20:4)
The above could be considered a very troubling verse. I would like those who believe in the rapture to tell me how this verse and the rapture can co-exist. (Also, Revelation 6:9-11 and many others.) We will see persecution on a massive scale, just as Christians before us did. The proof of a doctrine is the fruit. In the case of the rapture doctrine, I think it can make Christians lazy, passive, disconnected, and ineffective. (Because "Imma just be raptured out.") I can go in depth about that, but I'd rather not in the post. Suffice to say I do not believe in a rapture, either pre- or mid-tribulation. If God's people are raptured out, even in part, then who are these numberless people who are beheaded in the end times, choosing to die instead of taking the mark of the beast? If you feel I am in error, pray God will correct me, but I feel the Bible is clear many saints will die in the end times, and in a variety of ways. If I am wrong about the rapture, then no harm done (if not, it won't hurt to be prepared, right?), though some say if I don't believe I won't be raptured. That last part is clearly not in the Bible. Revelation 20:4 is a very intriguing verse. Not long ago, I had a hard time believing we'd ever see such a thing happen. Millions of people killed by a barbaric, archaic method such as guillotine? Wasn't that used to great effect a long time ago during the French Revolution? Indeed, and the implications are clear that those using the guillotines are ushering in a new revolution. The French Revolution was masterminded by the Illuminati. This one is, too. But before I go further, consider this. We all lose our lives for something. Not all of us lose our lives for something worthwhile (also, not all of us live for something worthwhile). Anyway, my point is that, if we must lose our lives anyway, why not lose them in a meaningful way? I would gladly lose my life for Jesus Christ. Those who do so get a crown. And those who do so by beheading in the end times will get to live and reign with Jesus Christ on earth in the millennium before the battle of Armageddon. That's quite a reward: getting to see God's kingdom brought to earth, peace for a thousand years, etc. A careful observer of our times has probably noticed the headlines recently involving beheadings. There are many. The BLM brigade in this country used guillotines as a scare tactic, placing them on lawns of people they wished to intimidate. Trust me, they intend to use them when the time is right. There exists only a handful of instances of beheadings in the Bible, as I can recall. One is John the Baptist. It is considered an ignominious end to one's life. But, in light of the verse we are discussing, I'd gladly sign up to die that way. Some recent news stories about beheadings are as follows. A teen killed a teacher in Paris. A father beheaded his children. Islam killed some people (a common thread, it seems). An "activist" was randomly, accidentally decapitated. Statues, even. You can look up more if you want. But I've never seen so many beheading/decapitation news stories in my life. I wish I could find it again, but I came across an article I think that came out of Canada about the humaneness of guillotine as a means of executing large numbers of people. The study concluded gas chambers are not as humane as beheading, as the spine is instantly severed (given the blade is sharpened between uses) and those in gas chambers may feel pain. This was an actual study. So, therein lies the justification (crown virus or no crown virus) to use this archaic method of execution and also fulfill scripture. Many times when I read Revelation in the past, I wondered at it, thinking, "How could this ever be?" But we are seeing scripture fulfilled at a rapid pace. We live in very interesting times. All those people who thought the "conspiracy" folks were crazy all those years have a chance to take pause as well as correction. Will they? That's up to them. They said we were in a cult of a sort all those years, and now we see who was really in the cult. But that's more of the perversion of right and wrong, and they may never admit they were wrong. I recommend reading this page, as it relays important information. If you don't read anything else in this post, please at least look at that page. This is corroborated by many sources going back decades. I do not post this to scare anyone, but if you are scared, run to Jesus. Please, wake up, Church of Christ. There will be no rapture. There will be a blood bath, instead. Lambs to the slaughter. It is possible, through spiritual warfare, we can put it off. I believe a revival is coming. Please, Lord, let me be a part of it! These executions may start slowly, but they will ramp up eventually to millions. It may start with people being sent to "quarantine" camps, but they never return. We are told they didn't make it. But they were executed instead. Same result. The virus scare is an easy way to implement the beast system. Consider the 2020 Vatican nativity scene, which features a masked executioner. If anyone knows what is coming, it is the Vatican, as they have one of the largest concentrations of warlocks on the planet. Many years ago, I began praying a different way. I took my battle to the heavenlies. My life immediately got much worse. I cried out to God and asked why. He told me, "It is coming from the Vatican. You are fighting their witchcraft, and now they are fighting you." In case I haven't offended everyone enough, I consider Islam the military arm of the Roman Catholic church, aka the Great Whore of Babylon (it is a city, it sits on seven hills, it represents a church system, etc.). It was created to make war with true Christianity. If you are incredulous any of that, I'd be happy to direct you to some resources. And, as always, pray and seek the Truth. I'm certainly not saying all of those people trapped in that system are evil. No, many are very good people who are seeking God. But God is calling them out now. Do not be destroyed with that whore system. Those who believe the United States is the Great Whore of Babylon are in error. The United States will be destroyed, but not because it is the Whore. Until that time, we will witness some interesting things. I believe there will be a land of Goshen for God's people, a place where they can continue to live and work for some time. It may be they need to flee "to the wilderness," but eventually, they won't be able to run anymore. My conjecture is in that time in the land of Goshen, we will see a magnificent revival or latter rain, which will be greater than the former rain. I can't wait to see that. All of the trials and tribulations are but for a moment, and then we will live with God and the saints for eternity. What a wonderful thing to which we can look forward. Pray with me if you'd like. Heavenly Father, we come to you united in prayer and supplication. We lift up to you our concerns for the future of our families, communities, and countries. We know you consent to the immense evil coming upon our lands. We pray you will guide us to where you want to live in the future, where you want us to continue raising our families, and how you would have us comport ourselves in this increasingly evil world. We pray for a land of Goshen. We pray also that you would lift up a standard against the enemy, as he is coming against us like a flood. Prepare us to fight and not shrink away. Teach our hands to war and fingers to fight. We also ask for a place of safety for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren, away from the coming indignation. We ask that you would not punish the righteous with the unrighteous. As always, we humbly submit our lives to you completely: our thoughts, feelings, desires, expectations, and plans. We ask for a revival in your church and that you would allow us to be an important part of it. And we thank you for all of your many blessings and for choosing us to live during this time in history. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. *** As a side note, I contacted Weebly customer service to figure out why my posts weren't posting in order, and they showed me how I can change that. Thumbs up. With all of the attacks, we are also witnessing good things. Consider all of the things that are being revealed. God is making clear who works for whom, and there are only two sources of inspiration in this world. Recently, we saw PornHub gutting 80% of its content. Still, there are thousands of videos left, and many other places to find obscene content, but that is a great victory. Every day, it seems there is a new revelation of wickedness in high places. We are called to pray about these things. God reveals things for a reason, and that reason is not for us to sit back and do nothing. To whom much is given, much is required. Today, we are given much knowledge. I pray we use it in a godly way. Thank you for reading, and God bless.
