I read an article in the Biblical Insight Magazine that
really caught my attention, and I would love to share it. It’s all about a
brethren that was left behind after the rapture had occurred and he witnessed
all the indignation, torture and pains meted out on the remaining populace of
earth, below is the story. Enjoy your read,
True to his word, God is doing all that is possible to
ensure that as many as are willing to escape the great indignation that will
follow rapture, are able to achieve their aim. Through His word as written in
the Holy Scriptures, divine revelations and every other means possible, God is
daily warning and reminding man, more than prophet Noah did in his days, of the
urgent need to heed the warning of Christ with respect to His second coming.
Going by the so many unbelievable things and priviledges, particularly, within
the Christian community, it is obvious that God by virtue of His Fatherly magnanimity
has already granted the request of the rich man in Luke 16:27-28. The said rich
man having realized that hell is a no-go area for anyone, requested father
Abraham to send Lazarus from the dead to his five brethren who were still alive
then to preach repentance to them. He did not want his brethren to come to hell
and experience the torment he was going through. Unfortunately, father Abraham
could not help his case.
According to Luke 16:22-31, “And it came to pass the beggar
died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also
died and was buried. And in hell, he lifted up his eyes being in torments, and
seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, father
Abraham have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his
finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But
Abraham said, son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receiveth thy good
things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted and thou art
tormented. And besides all this, between us and you, there is a great gulf
fixed: so that they which would pass from thence to you cannot; neither can
they pass to us that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee
therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father’s house: For I have five
brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of
torment. Abraham saith unto him, they have Moses and the Prophets,; let them
hear them. And he said, nay father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the
dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, if they hear not Moses and the
prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.”
Three facts are quite obvious from the above reference. Once
in hell, no request can be granted anymore. Secondly, there is a great
demarcation separating those in Heaven from those in hell to avoid the exchange
or transaction of any sort. Lastly, as long as a man is still alive, he has the
opportunity to avoid going to hell. However it is my through belief that God
has granted that very request of the dead rich man for the sake of those of us
still living. Even though father Abraham made it clear that sending one from
the dead back to life to testify of Christ would not make much difference, God,
in His Fatherly gesture, has equally granted the request severally. That is why
it is a common knowledge today that we hear of people who died and came back to
life after a day or two, to testify to the truth. That is why a lot of people
are being priviledged to have revelations, dreams and comings of the second
coming of Christ. Many are daily having the revelation of rapture. Therefore,
what you are about to read is a true story of a revelation of rapture by the
author of this write-up. As you read may the Lord help your understanding and
make you ready for the return of the Saviour.
Thus, on the 27th day of October 2012, at about
4.28am, I suddenly woke up from a frightening revelation of rapture. In the
revelation, it was obvious that rapture had taken place but so many Christians were
left behind. Of those left behind, very many are fellow brethren that I know
well. They are brethren who are supposed co-worker in the vineyard of the Lord.
Then I saw a very long queue of Christians waiting to take the “666” mark on
either their forehead or arms. Clearly, everyone left behind has only two
options: either to join the queue and take the anti- Christ mark or suffer the
cruel torture being meted out on those who refused to receive the mark of the
beast. A particular brother, when I demanded to know his reason for wanting to
take the mark, said he could not bear the punishment but would rather take the
mark. Surprisingly, I noticed that some of the wicked task-masters helping the
anti- Christ to afflict Christians who refused the mark were fellow brethren I
know very well from two of the branches of the same church. Sadly, these
fellows helping the evil one are, in real life, workers in the Church. It
pained my heart that they were not only helping the anti- Christ but equally
executing their assignment very willingly and happily. Then I sought to know
why fellow workers in the house of God, whom I believed to be born again,
should be assisting the anti- Christ to afflict their fellow brothers and
sisters in the Lord: I was told that it meant that they (those brethren helping
the anti- Christ) “are neck deep in sins and iniquities.” I was dumbfounded and
could not believe what I was seeing at that moment.
However, while all the happenings were still on, I kept on
hearing a particular statement. Any direction or place I went, I continue to
hear the same statement. The statement is “it is urgent and delay is
dangerous.” At first, I could not understand what it meant because, in that
rapture had taken place. I felt since it has happened the warning was not
necessary. I was still standing helplessly, brooding the fate of those left
behind, seriously grieved in my spirit, when I woke up. Expectedly, I began to
pray immediately. Then I decided to forward text messages about the revelation
to some brethren and continued in prayer for about an hour. When I finished, I
slept back. But to my least expectation, the revelation continued from where it
stopped at first and lasted till around 7.45am. It was amazing. In this second
part of the revelation I saw additional brethren whom I did not see at first
and the torture being meted out to those who refuse the mark was becoming
exceptionally unbearable. Surprisingly, I observed that the queue had doubled
and stretched further, continuously increasing every second.
Consequently, when I saw the hopelessness on the faces of
those left behind, was almost crying and screaming”that they should have
allowed me to speak (testify) to them again before allowing rapture to take
place.” Quickly, I was told that many had done that but they ignored the fact
that “it is urgent and delay is
dangerous.” Then I truly realized I could not help them at that point, just
as father Abraham could not help the dead rich man. Suddenly, my attention was
directed towards myself and I asked question: “Since the saints have been raptured
why I didn’t go with them, what am I doing in the midst of those left behind?”
I was told it was for two major reasons: Firstly, I was told I have an issue to
settle with the Lord. Angrily, I asked what issue?, one of the evil
taskmasters, a supposed worker in the church, brought out a piece of paper,
which contained my full name and the very issue marked against me. Then I began
to protest, saying “is it because of this minor thing.” I was told it might be
minor to me but as long as I have not settled it with the Lord it is enough to
hinder anyone from making Heaven. In other words, there are a lot of things
which we might consider minor in our own eyes but of great consequence. For
anyone to make heaven he or she must take everything, I mean everything to the
Lord in prayer. The slightest sin, without God’s mercy, is potent enough to
debar entrance into Heaven.
The scriptures in Luke 13:23-24 says, “Then said one unto
him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, strive to enter
at the strait gate; for many I say unto you will seek to enter in, and shall
not be able.” Now I know why Jesus made the above statement. He says “Strive to
enter…” in essence; to enter heaven one must “earnestly contend for the faith
which was once delivered unto the saints.” To strive is to earnestly contend
for. Thus to take certain things for granted is to tilt towards complacency. In
Genesis 19: 17, 26 Lot’s and his family were warned not to look back at Sodom,
but the wife was complacent and took the angelic warning lightly. She looked
back but never lived to tell the story:
She ended up in destruction, having escaped the consuming fire of Sodom.
What a tragedy! Like has been previously stated, complacency is one of the
diseases of the end time, designed to lead astray. By His grace, as soon as I
woke up, I had to quickly settle that very issue wit the Lord. For I do know it
is a priviledge, opportunity and to Him am grateful.
Moreover, the second reason is for me to let all know,
especially my fellow brethren and as many as are interested in making Heaven
that “it is urgent and delay is dangerous.” I was instructed to see some of
those I saw in the revelation. This
assignment I have already carried out immediately. Like I said earlier, at
first I did not understand what the statement meant. That is why I kept on
screaming, asking why people should go through this cruel torture. As if my
protest was disturbing, suddenly one of the task masters came over and asked me
if I wanted the mark. I bluntly said, “No Way!” the he said, “you will have to
experience the pain of those left behind.” I was shocked to hear him say that
and before I could utter a word, I saw another uglier and wicked demonic
creature fast approaching me with a very long sharp sword to chop off one of my
legs and I suddenly woke up. Then it dawned on me what they meant by “it is urgent and delay is dangerous.” it simply means it is urgent to get on
the Lord’s side. Yes, it means it is dangerous not to be saved or born-again by
now. Put differently, it means that rapture is imminent and it will be a
tragedy to be left behind. Besides, I was made to understand that during the
reign of the anti- Christ, after rapture, some fellow Christians who are left
behind are the very ones that will be helping the beast to find those refusing
the mark. Many supposed Christian parents, brothers and sisters will deny their
children, relations and friends. They will help the evil one locate the
hideouts of those left behind “believers” refusing the ‘666’ mark. Behold it is
better to escape now for one’s life.
That is why Prophet Isaiah, in Isaiah 26:20 says, “come, my people enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about
thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be
overpast.” To hide thyself is to be truly born-again. It is to be genuinely
saved. It is to be ready for rapture so that when the great tribulation
(indignation) comes you will not be around to experience the effect. In other
words, anyone genuinely saved is already within his chambers and his doors shut
about him.
Convincingly, I sincerely believe that rapture may take
place in these very early hours of the third day. Remember, this very early
hours are already in progress. Truly, it is urgent and delay, certainly, is
dangerous. It is true no one knows the exact time and date of rapture, but one
thing is obviously needful. Anyone hoping to see Jesus and live in His sight
forever must be watching and praying daily. When heaven makes a final
roll-call, only those who are truly ready, like the five wise virgins, shall be
raptured. I pray that you will become rapturable by Gods grace. Again, from the
revelation, I understand, in line with the dictates of the Bible that Church
attendance, position of leadership, financial commitment, preaching and
teaching in the Church, etc, are all good works, but all these do not guarantee
a place in Heaven. Jesus expressly told us that “except a man be born-again”, he cannot make heaven, his name cannot be
found in the book of life; meaning he is not rapturable.
Finally, my prayer for everyone reading this write-up is
that the grace of God that makes one rapturable shall rest upon you from this
very moment henceforth. God bless you, as you consciously retrace your steps
back to Jesus, the only true savior of humanity.
