MESSAGE TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES

CHAPTER 4) OVERCOMER TYPE CHRISTIAN RAPTURE TO START TRIBULATION WHICH SHALL BE HEREAFTER: {REVELATION 4:1-2 ON 22:21

The Tribulation purposes are to bring Israel and Jewish people to the place that they recognize Jesus as their Messiah (Christ). To judge the Gentile nations and people for their sins against God (rejecting the gospel) and the Jewish people (exterminating Israel). To punish Satan, anti-christ, false prophet, with all those that follow them. God uses the raptures to remove people and groups out of the tribulations and many other events as show in the examples that follows.

Revelation 4:1-2 on 22:21

A) END TIME EVENTS HAS A BEGINNING OF SORROWS/1^st - 3 & ½ YEARS TRIBULATION/2^nd - 3 & ½ YEARS GREAT TRIBULATION:

The Matthew 24 scriptures are not in chronological order of time. The events of Matthew 24/Luke 21/Mark 13 are as follows: The beginning of sorrows period {Matthew 24:7-8} of wars and earth pestilences. The fig tree {Matthew 24:32-34} is a sign of of near start of End Times. The End Times has a 3&½ years periods for Tribulation {Matthew 24:29}. The first Tribulation 3&1/2 years has 2 sets of 7's - God's judgments (7 Seals) Revelation 5-6} and (7 Trumpets) Revelation 8}. The abomination of desolation {Matthew 24:15} starts the 2^nd 3&1/2 years Great Tribulation {Matthew 24:21}. The second Great Tribulation has (7 Vials/Bowls) Revelation 16}. God wrath on evil has many people killed (During the fourth seal ¼ of earth's people will be destroyed) Revelation 6:7-8}. God's wrath in Great Tribulation 2nd 3 & ½ years, has more than 1 billion people die. Over ½ earth's people die Revelation 16:1-4}. God will rapture His people out of some of those punishments and have His witnesses proclaim the gospel to saved many Revelation 7:3, 11:3-12, 14:6-11}. Anti-christ loses war to Jesus and is sent to lake of fire. God will rapture evil people from the earth. Jesus will be king over the earth for 1,000 years. God will resurrect both good and evil people. Several judgments nations, of peoples, and evil people will occur before God destroys this heaven and earth and creates a new heaven and earth.

For those who assumed Matthew 24/Mark 13 scriptures are in chronological order, I have included this in my paper. Pre-Wrath-Rapture Christians believe the Tribulation is the full Daniel 9:27 week or 7 years period. The first 3&1/2 years being the Beginning of Sorrows. They have the Great Tribulation being part of the last 3&1/2 years period and the Day of the Lord being the other part. The abominantion of desolation {Matthew 24:15/Mark 13:14/Luke 21:20} starts the 2^nd 3&1/2 years period. What follows in the Great Tribulation is the sun/moon.stars becoming dark and Jesus returned in the clouds with angels gathering the elect for rapture {Matthew 24:31/Mark 13:27/Luke 21:27} (See Pre-Wrath-Rapture). Luke 21 does not include the word Tribultion or Great Tribultation but uses days of vengence. All of this is assumed by making the Matthew 24/Mark 13 scriptures in chronological order. The Fig Tree parable {Matthew 24:32/Mark 13:38/Luke 21:29} is however not in chronological order here. I assumed an out of chronological order {Matthew 24/Mark 13/Luke 21} scriptures assumptions. This approach, has a single rapture. If you study my paper, with most End Times scriptures, you can not agree with this single rapture during the 2^nd 3&1/2 yreas. I believe this is one of the raptures as shown in my paper.

They preach and witness righteousness for some of the Tribulation and Great Tribulation periods and then are raptured with many believers to God. These 144,000 are raptured to heaven {Revelation 14:1-5} and are blesses by God for their ministry to Jews and Gentiles.

The Abomination (image of anti-christ) of Desolation, with the rapture of the Church (woman of Revelation 12, John 3:16) starts the 2nd 42 months period of the Great Tribulation. The anti-christ brakes his covenant with Israel, stops the Israel sacrifices to God, and offers sacrifices to himself, making an image of himself, ain the Jerusalem temple.

Abomination of Desolation {Revelation 11:1-2} Anti-christ in Jerusalem Temple as a god sacrificing to himself.

Revelation 12:5-6

Two Witnesses {Revelation 11:3-12} Two: Witnesses, Olive Trees, and Candlesticks

The two witnesses have been suggested to be Enoch and Elijah because they never died. It is also possible that they are Elijah and Moses because of their signs and powers of: fire, stopping rain from occurring, water turned to blood, and smiting the earth with all plagues. Whoever they are, God uses them as His witnesses and prophets for 42 months in Jerusalem. Many people receive their prophecy and repent, but most people rejected their witness and prophecies. In the end, they are killed, resurrected and raptured to heaven.

Revelation 11:3-12

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Genesis 5:21-24

Malachi 4:5 Elijah may be one of the two witnesses.

Matthew 17:10-11 Reason for Elias being one of the two witnesses.

Luke 9:30 This is why some believe that these are the same two witnesses in the End Times.

Hebrews 9:27 Since Enoch and Elijah never died, they may be the two witnesses who are killed by the anti-christ.

Hebrews 11:5-6

CHAPTER 12) OVERCOMERS & SEVERAL OTHER RAPTURES: {REVELATION 12:1-14:20}

The Prophet John wrote Revelation about 90-96 AD. This paper addresses multiple raptures. From the Revelation 12 viewpoint, this starts with these three believers groups: Man-Child (Elected Overcomers on fire Christians), Woman (John 3:16 Church), & Remnant of the Woman's Seed (Tribulation and Great Tribulation Jewish and Gentiles Believers).

The Man-Child is the Elect Overcomer Christians who are living in the deeper things of God. God rewards them by caughting (rapture) them up unto God and His throne. The Overcomers of the churches will rule 1,000 years with Christ (with a rod of iron) when Jesus is on His Jerusalem New Temple, earthly throne. In no other scripture period of time do we see the Revelation Chapter 2-3 Overcomers scripture promises fulfilled.

The Woman does not match Israel scripture (Genesis 37:9) wording or type. I assumed the Woman to be the Church with a John 3:16 salvation message only. She has not gone into any of the deeper things of God. During the Tribulation she is cared for by God, but goes through half the End Times period before being Mid-Tribulation raptured. The Woman – John 3:16 Church goes through 1260 days of Tribulation. The Church delievered the Elected of fire Man-child who is Pre-Tribulation raptured. This group is protected and supplied by God for 1260 days even from attacks by Satan before she is raptured.

The remnant of the Woman's Seed goes through much of the End Times Events and is the Jewish & Gentile Tribulation Christians being saved through the ministry efforts of the two witnesses and 144,000 Jewish believers.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Genesis 37:9 Does not compare with Revelation 12:1 A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.

1) Ephesus: Revelation 2:7

2) Smyrna: Revelation 2:11

3) Pergamos: Revelation 2:17

4) Thyatira: Revelation 2:26-28

5) Sardis: Revelation 3:5

6) Philadelphia: Revelation 3:12-14

7) Laodiceans: Revelation 3:21

Revelation 6:9-11 The remnant of the Woman's Seed goes through much of the End Times Events and is the Jewish & Gentile Tribulation Christians.

Revelation 7:14-17 The remnant of the Woman's Seed either raptured in the pre-wrath rapture or dying during the Great Tribulation.

Revelation 12:1-3, 5-6, 11, 13-17

A) ALL RAPTURES - GENERAL CHURCHES RAPTURES DOCTRINES: There are six views on the rapture:

a) PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE: (Church is raptured before the Tribulation begins). General Church teaching has the purpose of the Tribulation is to punish the ungodly, the Church can not go through the Tribulation. There are a few scriptures that teach this rapture. This view does not address the many scriptures on raptures. I believe this is one of the raptures as shown in my paper.

b) MID-TRIBULATION RAPTURE: (Church is raptured between the Tribulation and Great Tribulation periods). General Church teaching has the purpose of the Tribulation is to punish the ungodly, the Church can not go through the Tribulation. There are a few scriptures that teach this rapture. This view does not address the many scriptures on raptures. I believe this is one of the raptures as shown in my paper.

c) PRE-WRATH-POST-TRIBULATION RAPTURE: (Church is raptured near the end of the Great Tribulation period). General Church teaching has the purpose of the Tribulation is to punish the ungodly, the Church can not go through the Tribulation. There are a few scriptures that teach this rapture. This view does not address the many scriptures on raptures. I believe this is one of the raptures as shown in my paper.

d) POST-TRIBULATION RAPTURE: (Church is raptured as the Great Tribulation ends). General Church teaching has the purpose of the Tribulation is to punish the ungodly, the Church can not go through the Tribulation. There are a few scriptures that teach this rapture. This view does not address the many scriptures on raptures. I believe this is one of the raptures as shown in my paper.

e) MULTIPLE RAPTURES OR PARTIAL RAPTURES: (my view). The only view that support the many scriptures on raptures that supports Pre, Mid, Pre-Wrath-Post, & Post Tribulation scriptures. This also supports special raptures: 2 Witnesses, 144,000, All Israel Saved, 2nd Coming pre-Millennium, and Judgment, Resurrection scriptures raptures.

f) NO RAPTURES: General Church teaching has the purpose of the Tribulation is to punish the ungodly, the Church can not go through the Tribulation. This view does not address the many scriptures on raptures.

Raptures: The word rapture is not found in Bible. Judgments/awards may occur to the person who is raptured. Translation of peoples to heaven/hell/earth include: Enoch {Genesis 5:24, Hebrews 11:5}, Elijah {2 Kings 2:1, 2:11}, Jesus {Mark 16:19, Luke 24:51, Acts 1:9}, Phillip {Acts 8:39-40}, Paul {2 Corinthians 12:2-4}, John {Revelation 4:1-2}, Overcomers/Man-Child {Revelation 2:26-27, 3:21, 12:5}, John 3:16-Church (Women) {Revelation 12:6}, Tribulation-Saints {Mark 13:24-27, Revelation 12:17}, Post-Tribulation Pre-Wrath {Revelation 7:9-17}, 144,000 {Revelation 7:3-8, 14:1-5}, 2 Witnesses {Revelation 11:3-12}, Israel {Psalms 50:3-5, Jeremiah 30:7, Daniel 12:1}; All Believers {Matthew 24:30-31}, & All Unbelievers {Matthew 13:30, 39-43, 49-50}. The first Resurrection {Revelation 20:5-6}, Second death {Revelation 2:11, 20:5-6}

Other Scripture words for rapture: Caught Away/Went Up: {2 Kings 2:11}; {Acts 8:39}; {2 Corinthians 12:4}; {1 Thessalonians 4:17}; Revelationelation 12:5}; Taken/Took Away/Come Up/Out: {Genesis 5:24}; {Isaiah 57:1}; {2 Thessalonians 2:7}; {Revelation 4:1}; {Revelation 12:12}; Changed & Raised: {1 Corinthians 15:51-52}; Delivered: {Daniel 12:1}; Gather Together: {Matthew 24:31}; {2 Thessalonians 2:1}; Translated: {Hebrews 11:5}; Ascended Up: {Revelation 11:12}; Redeemed: {Revelation 14:3-4}; 1^st Beast = Anti-Christ Out of sea {Revelation 13:1}; Devil to the earth from heaven {Isaiah 14:12, Revelation 12:9}; Sinners, False Prophet, and Anti-Christ to Lake of fire {Revelation 19:20}; Devil to Lake of fire {Revelation 20:12}; Unbelievers to Lake of fire {Revelation 20:15}

B) MAN-CHILD:

The Man-Child can't be Jesus since this is in a future period after 90AD when John wrote Revelation. Jesus lived to about 33AD.

The End Times people who rule with a rod of iron scripture applies to Jesus and the Overcomers. The Man-Child is fulfilled by the Overcomers who are caught up to God and His throne & rule together.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Isaiah 66:7-8

Revelation 2:25-27 Man-Child is fulfilled by the Overcomers who come back to rule with Jesus.

Revelation 12:5-6 Jesus (is not the Man- Child). Overcomer's fulfill this, but Jesus did not come out of church as he came by Jewish parents, Mary and Holy Spirit then Joseph.

C) PRE-TRIBULATION-RAPTURE:

Overcomer Christians caught up from going through the Tribulation period. They will return later with Christ to rule with Him for the 1,000 years.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED: See Overcomer in: 1 John 5:4, Revelation: 2:7, 2:17, 3:5, 3:12, 21:7

Revelation 3:21 The Overcomers' will rule with Jesus.

Revelation 12:11 Their life is centered on Jesus.

Revelation 19:13-15 Overcomer's (who are Pre-Tribulation raptured and return with Jesus) rules with iron rod.

D) WHY DOES GOD REMOVE THESE OVERCOMER CHRISTIANS?

The Overcomer is set apart from the evil & temptations to come because they are a part of the elect who are worthy to escape God's wrath because they lived a godly/righteous life, prayed, & kept the word of God in patience.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Psalms 4:3 Set apart godly men, Overcomers, who live a godly life.

Isaiah 57:1 Take away men.

Luke 21:36 Escape Tribulation.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 Wait for Jesus to deliver us from wrath in End Times.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 Jesus saved us so that we be forever with Him starting from our earth existence.

2 Peter 2:9 Deliver Overcomers before Tribulations.

Revelation 3:10 God will keep Overcomers from temptation because they live in the deeper things of God.

The rapture of the Overcomers: Man-Child - the "He" is taken out of the earth which starts the End Times Events? The Church is referred to as the body of Christ who is male.

E) WOMAN - JOHN 3:16 CHURCH MID-TRIBULATION RAPTURE:

The Woman does not match Israel scripture (Genesis 37:9) wording or type. I assumed the Woman to be the Church with a John 3:16 salvation message only. She has not gone into any of the deeper things of God. During the Tribulation she is cared for by God, but goes through half the End Times period before being Mid-Tribulation raptured.

SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

1 Corinthians 12:3 The Holy Spirit can not be the HE since if He is removed no one can call Jesus Lord. This is a clear Pre-Tribulaion-rapture scripture of the He (group) to be taken out of the way not being the Holy Spirit. He can not be Holy Spirit or no one could be saved after He is removed.

Ephesians 1:22-23 The Church is referred to as a male (Jesus) and can be the He.

2 Thessalonians 1:10-12, 2:1

2 Thessalonians 2:6-9 He is the Overcomers Elect who when they are raptured will allow the Anti-christ to come and start the Daniel 9:24-27 70^th week, 1^st half 3&1/2 years, End Times events.

Revelation 12:1, 6, 13 Jesus (is not the Man- Child). Overcomer's fulfill this, but Jesus did not come out of church as he came by Jewish parents, Mary and Holy Spirit then Joseph. The Woman (John 3:16 Church) God cared for her 3&1/2 years, 1st Tribulation period then I assume she is raptured.

F) PRE-WRATH-POST-TRIBULATION RAPTURE: After the Mid-Tribulation at the opening of the 6th seal.

Pre-Wrath-Rapture Christians believe the Tribulation is the full Daniel 9:27 week or 7 years period with the Great Tribulation being the last 3&1/2 years period. The abominantion of desolation {Matthew 24:15/Mark 13:14/Luke 21:20} starts the 2^nd 3&1/2 years period. What follows in the Great Tribulation is the sun/moon.stars becoming dark and Jesus returned in the clouds with angels gathering the elect for rapture {Matthew 24:31/Mark 13:27/Luke 21:27}. Luke 21 does not include the word Tribulation or Great Tribulation but uses days of vengence. All of this is assumed by making the Matthew 24/Mark 13 scriptures in chronological order. The Fig Tree parable {Matthew 24:32/Mark 13:38/Luke 21:29} is however not in chronological order here. I assumed an out of chronological order {Matthew 24/Mark 13/Luke 21} scriptures assumptions.

The Pre-Wrath-Rapture approach, has a single rapture. If you study my paper, with most End Times scriptures, you can not agree with only this single rapture near the end of the 2^nd 3&1/2 years. I believe this is one of the raptures as shown in my paper.

PERSON/GROUP: SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:

Joel 2:31-32

Mark 13:24-27

Revelation 6:12-13 Gentile and Jewish Christians are saved as a results of 144,000 and 2 witnesses.

Revelation 7:13-17 Saints will be killed by Anti-Christ and his armies who hate Jesus.

G) GREAT TRIBULATION IS WRATH OF GOD: The Great Tribulation, 2nd three & half years of 7 years end times is the wrath of God against un-believers and not against the saints. The Pre-Wrath-Post-Tribulaions believers use the wrath of God as a basics for their theory.

PERSON/GROUP: SCRIPTURES FULFILLED:
