The Rapture Force

What is Eschatology?
How does it affect every one in the world?
Why should we study the end of things?
When people say the end of the world, they are really basically misunderstanding what the end times means. It will not be the end of the world. It will be the end of the way things have been for nearly 6,000 years. It will be Christ our Messiah,coming to rule the world, a thousand years of peace and prosperity. A wonderful life, that people the world over, wish it was right now. In fact the people who are involved in trying to make the new world order, the one world government are in fact, hoping to achieve this utopia, where there is no crime no sick people, only wealthy, healthy, people. The sad fact is, it can never be done without God.

Eschatology is the study of end times prophecies in the bible. It is a deep look at what is coming, and how it will all start and end. This is the study of the ultimate destiny of human kind. The study of the final confrontation between the forces of good versus evil, and the establishment of a realm of deliverance from suffering and sin based on the restoration of an original world of goodness. There are many forms of Eschatology,such as the Jewish, the Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist,and of course Christian. I pay attention to the Jewish,and the Christian,with a bit of study on the Muslim end times study as well.

I am not in any way shape or form a Muslim,but being aware of the biggest enemy of the Christian religions eschatological views, is quite important. It parallels ours (Christian) so very well. Where we have our savior coming back to the earth, at the end of the whole thing, with the culmination of Armageddon. The Muslims expect their messiah to come as the twelfth Imam or the Mahdi, at the beginning of troubles. They believe they must create Chaos on the earth, to usher in their messiah. While our beliefs are, we must tell the whole world of Jesus Christ, and then the bad times come, then the taking away of those who are truly Christs own.

That is called the rapture to most people. There is no such word in the bible as rapture. It is either called harpazzo the Greek word, which means caught up, or parusia, another Greek word which means, to be present with,such as being present with the Lord. Then comes the battle of Armageddon, in which all the armies of the world come together at the valley of Meggido, to come against Israel, and that is when the Lord steps in.

There is a great need today to study eschatology (the doctrine of future things) as God’s Word unfolds before our very eyes. There are many Christians today who know very little about God’s plans for the here-and-now, and they know even less about God’s plans for their future. The Scriptures give several reasons why the study of eschatology is profitable for us. First of all it is for the purity in the believer’s life 1 John 3:3. It comforts the believer in their time of bereavement 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Thirdly, the study of eschatology gives us a divine viewpoint in our outlook 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. And finally, study produces motivation for the believer’s faithful service 2 Timothy 4:7-8.

Now Matthew chapter 24 is the best New Testament start to finish explanation of the end times, by Christ to His disciples. The book of Revelation is the explanation of what will be happening through the tribulation period into the millennial kingdom,which is when Christ will reign on earth with His elect or saints,which are those of us who are Christs own. We have been chosen by God to receive salvation,and we have accepted the free gift of God’s grace for the forgiveness of our sins. The bible tells us many have been called but few are chosen. Matthew 22:14.

Here is a link to be able to read all of Matthew chapter 24 for yourselves. If the link is not click able please copy and paste into your browser. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2024&version=AMP
I would ask that you who read that chapter, would pay close attention to the words of Jesus in verse 29 when it says AFTER those days of tribulation. Too many people do not seem to see those words,or they disregard them.

The end times are through out the entire bible, but there are some that are much deeper involved in the study, of end of the age studies than others. In the Old Testament the book of Jeremiah,the book of Daniel,the book of Isaiah,the book of Ezekiel,the book of Amos and Joel and Zechariah ,Malachi and more. It is amazing to study these prophecies, and then watch the world news, at least world news that tell you the truth, and do not hide information from you. Watching the news these days is like reading your bible,and suddenly getting an understanding you never understood before. Seeing the very steps that are being taken world wide, to bring us to the end of the age.

The New Testament, has many prophecies of the end of the age too. It is exciting to this writer to read and get understanding, of what the Lord is telling us. The preparations He has set in His Word for us. But to get the blessings that are coming in the end of the age, you must be one of Christs own. To become one of Christs called ones, or chosen ones, we must become born again in order to receive the promises in the Word of God.

Here is the prayer you say to become born again. No one needs to know you said this prayer, but eventually the changes that take place in you are going to show up, but by then you will be proud to let the world know you are one of Christs.

“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

I’ve Prayed It; Now What? If you’ve prayed this prayer of salvation with true conviction and heart, you are now a follower of Jesus. This is a fact, whether or not you feel any different. Religious systems may have led you to believe that you should feel something – a warm glow, a tingle, or some other mystical experience. The fact is, you may, or you may not. If you have prayed the prayer of salvation and meant it, you are now a follower of Jesus. The Bible tells us “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

Welcome to the family of God! I encourage you now to find a local church where you can be baptized and grow in the knowledge of God through His Word, the Bible.

As we go along, my hope is that you will understand very well the end times prophecies. May God Bless and watch over you. May the Lord guide you in wisdom and knowledge,and grow you into a strong and joy filled Christian.
Love in Christ, Tammy

They (the media and government) tell us all this bad news in hopes that we will lose hope and then begin to think of a man being able to see us through our turmoil. Hoping that we will turn to them and trust them implicitly to see us through. Yet they are just men. Just human being ,with all the same hang ups and fears and mistakes as every other man. They cannot save us,they cannot heal us,nor our grievous wounds. In fact if we follow men we are being led to our own doom. God is all powerful,all knowing and everywhere at once. He is WISDOM!!!

Every day we hear more and more about how everything is falling apart, and they do not see that the mistakes they are making are just making it all worse.Nor do they see they have made all the same mistakes in the past. I look at our world today and say man it is all falling apart before our very eyes. But I know in no uncertain terms I am not of the world and the world holds no hope for me. The Lord is my hope,my strength and my courage. He makes me bold when I would turn tail and run. He pushes me to do things I could never have imagined in my life prior to knowing him. I am so thankful to God that he is my everything. I am so thankful that he saw me in my sin and said here is one of my own,then called me by name to come and join Him.He chose me,He pursued me,and he wooed me. He has won my Love and my life. We are His portion and He is our prize.

I watch how every day in thousands of different ways Americans are getting more and more hurt, and not knowing how to fix their lives, and their selves,turning further away from God.Here is a nugget of truth. We cannot fix ourselves. We must must must turn our lives over to God. Hand Him the reins of your life and watch your life soar to new heights. Watch all your worries all your fears disappear. Be healed of everything that ails you.

Are you angry all the time? Is it because you are hurting so much over your past life that you cannot move forward? It is time to put your trust in God and let go of the past. The past is over. There is no going back and fixing any of it. If we sit there going ,”if only I had done this? Then maybe this would not have happened? It is time to come to perfect peace and rest that can only be found in Gods perfectly capable,and beyond able hands. You dear friend,are not here by accident. If your reading this God has a message for you. He wants to love you. He wants to smooth the road ahead for you. He wants to make all of your days good days. He loves you more than you could ever know. He is not saying their wont be trials ahead for you.But those trials in His capable hands makes you get through it all, with a smile on your face.Knowing He has your back is something that is unbelievably comforting.

Just think about it,He sent us the Holy spirit to be our comforter. To hold us up no matter what we face as long as we hand it all to God. Allow the Holy spirit to guide you in this life. I can personally promise you will not regret it. More than that God is right there walking you down the correct paths of life. Guiding and directing you. Loving you all along the way. You see God will not ever stop loving you. No matter what we do wrong,God does not reprimand us he corrects us with love and perfect guidance. He will never ever leave your side. If you feel a distance with Him it is due to something your not doing right. Because He does not leave your side. Not even for one moment.He is always present with us,as soon as you invite the Holy spirit in and give your will over to God’s will,He will not forsake you for one moment not one second. You are His and He is yours forever more. Your life becomes one big huge love fest.

Knowing your loved of the father no matter what ,knowing that He will comfort you if you but ask,is a huge weight lifted off ones shoulders. What can’t we face, with Gods love standing right there beside us? No better yet Living inside of us, showing us from our hearts how to live life, AND IT IS A GOOD LIFE!!!!! Let me say this in plain speaking. God is all up in your stuff. He knows your business,He knows your heart. He knows your every want need and desire. Do you know His desire for you? He wants us to know That he Loves us unconditionally. There have never been any conditions placed on you by God. He has loved you long before you were even born. He might be disappointed with you when you make a mistake.But He just wants you to know He loves you.He desires your love in return,and then my friends let me tell you something,When you give your heart to Him He fills you up to over flowing, with love and comfort and knowledge,and strength. He desires to make you so strong in Him that you will not have to even ask a question.

He will fill you with His knowledge. Strength as we all know is in Knowledge of every form. When
you have knowledge on any subject you are prepared for any single circumstance.Rather that be your job or any circumstance in life you can think of.The more we know of anything, the more ready we are for what life throws at us. God wants to fill us up to overflowing with his knowledge and love. So that we can pour our excess into others. He blesses us abundantly in expectation that we will,pour our overflow onto others lives. Faith comes by hearing. We have to share our knowledge of the Lord with people everywhere. If you do not know the Lord and you are reading this ,He is calling to you. Have you had an abundance of mentions about God? Are you seeking for yourself? He will not leave you empty. If you seek you will find. If you knock the door will be open to you.Ask and you shall receive.

You cannot lose in seeking God. He loves you no matter your sins in the past. For all sin is just as bad as any other sin. He forgives every manner of sin. God finds you in the midst of your sin filled life, and calls you. He pursues you. He gives little nuggets of knowledge of Himself to us. He loves us and blesses us in every imaginable way. Life does not have to be hard and broken. It does not have to hurt you always. Life in Gods hands is peace and calm.“The fruit of the Spirit is… peace” -Galatians 5:22.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” -Isaiah 26:3. We can trust God with all things. He will not ever stop loving you. And if you did not know that He loves you unconditionally,now you do. Human love I know is so very fickle. If we disappoint people we have a chance of losing their love, and or respect. Not with God He loves you no matter what you have done.

Once you have decided to give Him your life. Once you have accepted Jesus Christs shed blood covering over your sin. God throws your sin away so far it can never be seen again. He never looks back in time. He only looks forward. Yes you can disappoint the Lord ,but His love is never removed from you. Even sinners who wallow in their sin and enjoy it,are loved by God unconditionally. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. This is not just a fly by night promise.This is more of a covenant with you. They live with you inside you from that day you accept Jesus, for eternity.

John 10:27-29
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. God chooses you,Jesus pursues you,and woos you forever more.He never stops loving us. As a matter of fact it is safe to say He loves us before we are even conceived.in closing I just offer you some good advice,come experience the joy of knowing the Lord. He already knows you ,mind,body,and soul. Come get to know Him and His ways.You have nothing to lose by giving God your trust,you have everything to gain.

Love in Christ Jesus, Tammy

I am a Christian, and no I am not surprised by the fact that more and more people are saying that we Christians are hate filled, angry, intolerant, and the worst people on earth. Why am I not surprised by this? Because in the bible in Isaiah The Lord informed us that one day there would be people calling evil good and good evil. This causes us Christians great pain in our hearts. Sometimes that ache feels like our heart is literally breaking apart.

It is not our intention to force our views on anyone. Nor is it our goal to make anyone believe as we do. Our hope is to help people to see our point of view. Our goal is to help people to come to the absolute joy it is to know the Lord personally. To grow in Knowledge and wisdom daily in the Lord. He is our strength, he is our Jehovah Jirah (God our provider). He not only provides all daily needs to those who believe and trust Him to do so. He also fills us to overflowing with blessings, some carnal blessings, most spiritual blessings. He fills us with understanding of Him. He opens our eyes to knowledge of good and evil, that we may know what is good and righteous. We are not any of us perfect,but we are being perfected daily to receive eternity.
We ache to know people are lost. We ache to see people we love going down the winding crooked path, that leads to death. We want for everyone everywhere all peoples of the earth to understand God is LOVE!!! Yes he rebukes and chastens those he loves. Yes he will punish those who do not see what he puts in front of them daily. And that is that He is so wonderfully faithful to those who just believe in Him and trust Him. He says in the bible all things are possible to those who believe. So many people sadly do not see what that means. It is so simple as to be juveniley simple. Just trust Him and believe in Him to do all He said He would do and it all comes to pass.

Our Pastor ,Pastor Jeff Knight is so great at visuals. I always think of his preaching on the Lord telling us just trust and obey me, all the while holding his new baby girl in front of the church. Saying first before we begin, just look on me as God (now no hate mail please I am not God nor do I think I am God this is for visuals sake people). This baby in my arms is you, all of you in the service. He looks in her eyes, to which she opened her eyes and looked into her daddies eyes and he said, I promise you I love you now and always. I promise to always guide and protect you. I promise to Love and cherish you.  All I ask of you is that you trust and obey me, trust and obey me.  He said it many times over and every one in that house of God was enthralled, and I am sure as was I, so was everyone in that house putting themselves in the place of that baby. Putting God in place of that man, and understanding like we have never understood before.God wants to Love and protect you, cherish you, guide you, and lead you down the path of righteousness. Just trust Him and obey Him.
This is why we Christians ache, because we know all too many of our family members and friends, and coworkers, do not understand that God is there for all of you. We ache because rather than being hate filled and intolerant, we are on the contrary, loving and so tolerant it is unreal. We do not tell anyone it is wrong to sin, to hurt them. We point out sins we have ourselves at one time been guilty of. The road to salvation is paved with sinners. Knowing that if people can but see their sin, they can then turn from it. Finally maybe going into the light, turning over a new leaf. Growing in knowledge and wisdom of the Lord, and being fulfilled beyond your wildest imaginings.

Even so many Christians today think their pain is unimaginable to be talked of in such a horrible way. They think this is the persecution Jesus speaks of. I know there is much more to come, much worse than mere words. There will be much more physical pain to come. I pray always that my brothers and sisters in Christ, who believe we are to suffer none of the real persecutions of the body, rather than just of the mind, will stay steady and strong in their first love, which is the Lord. I ache personally to know that so many who think they suffer unbearably now in the USA, have seen nothing yet. That they will indeed turn away from God, thus making it possible for the antichrist to be revealed.

I know so many people who walk a half way walk with the Lord and call themselves true Christians, but the Lord said all of you or none of you. Meaning, he wants all of your life, your every thought, your every moment on how to further His kingdom, and how to walk more righteously with Him. Those halfway Christians will be the first to turn away from Christ in the not so distant future. If you are half way into the Lord then you are none of his. This planet we live on is temporary we all must die. The difference is, we Christians know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are going to live forever more in perfection, and in glory. My daily thanks to the Lord is Lord thank you for being you and showing me yourself. Lord I praise you for all that you have done in me, on me and my life. Lord I thank you for all that you will do in the future, for me with me, and in me.

Today in this state the great lovely state of Washington, our governor apparently put some kind of sign out on one of the city buildings renouncing God, Heaven, hell, and anything to do with religion as a whole. My heart skipped a few beats at that. If we take God out of our state we have nothing. It is so sad to see God being taken out of everything these days. Not so surprising is how much the United states is falling apart. Why because God has been removed from everything. Teachers are fired, kids expelled from schools for saying Jesus, or praying. Coaches of every sport being ridiculed for praying with their teams,as well as fired. People being arrested for praying on sidewalks and in parks. Little do they know we are praying for them to realize since they decided to remove our Lord from all things, how much we have all suffered for it. Never realizing that if they just repented, the things gone wrong would turn around so fast, it would make their heads spin.

Our world is falling apart due to removing God from everything. The earth is rebelling at the sins going on in it. The earth was made by God therefore it was good and that also means Holy. Like God the earth was not made to take sin it hates sin, as much as God does. The earthquakes the waters raging, the signs in the stars and heavens, our very atmosphere is crying out and rebelling or repelling the sin that is in it on it, and surrounding it. The devil has not even come down yet in anger, but he has certainly been busy for centuries anyway. In all that time satan has been planning his take over bid . Just like any corporate raider he has been scheming, planning, devising, his destruction of man kind. Every month it seems there are more and more things science cannot explain going on with our planet, our sun, our entire solar system. This is another reason we Christians ache. Man is destroying themselves allowing evil in all over and do not even come close, to accepting their responsibility for it. Oh yes we ache for the lost who are so blinded by their own understandings.

If people would just give the Lord our God, just three hours of their time, and truly believe in Him, for just three hours, they would be astounded at how much of Himself He would reveal to them. The Joy that is simply unexplainable but must be experienced for ones self. Would make so many cry with it. Not a sad cry, but a joyful, I cannot believe it, better than winning the lottery, kind of joy. Because as cool as winning the lottery would be (even if chances are one in 700 million or so) that is temporary too. We will not need anything in Heaven God is the entire provision. We are Jesus portion and He is our Prize. Oh what Joy that is to know. What God has prepared for us no mind has imagined, no eye has seen, no ear has heard. I know that has got to be something beyond the realm of spectacular. Besides the fact that for eternity there will be no boredom God said behold I make all things new. He did not quantify that. So from my point of view there will be no end to Him making all things new.

God has given this woman a heart to love endlessly. I always ask Him, Lord give me your heart for the other people of this earth, boy does he ever. I no longer look at those people who call us haters, as mean and evil . Now I see them as lost, and so in need of salvation. I am going to hate one day seeing anyone even the worst human being going to hell. I know I am going to seriously need God to wipe away the sorrows, mourning, and tears from my eyes forever more. Because I can almost feel that heartache now. Imagine being surrounded by 100% Love and seeing those we love and care for, or anyone for that matter going to hell? I know we will be understanding that it is just rewards, but that does not mean it is going to hurt us any less.

But there is GOOD NEWS!!!  For every time we are thrown down verbally or physically. For every time we are persecuted for Christs sake, there is a jewel added to our crowns. We must be thankful for our persecution as this grows us and leads to perseverance. We must praise God even in the midst of our worst hardest trials. He blesses us even more for our praise in the midst of our storms. How we react to those storms proves our trust of Him. By trials and tests we are being refined. Do not ever blame God for your trials, rejoice that he thinks us worthy of going through them. God says for he who endures till the end, great is his rewards in Heaven.

Thank you for reading this and sharing in my ache. The fact that I have had readers from all over the world, just makes me want to write more. When someone comments on my articles it just makes my head flood with more articles and thoughts to share. So Thanks everyone for your reading my lessons in this life, and for allowing me to share my thoughts with you.
God Bless and keep you all safe, happy, and healthy in his hands.
Love in Christ Jesus, Tammy
