What About The Rapture?

[DarkGlass1312]

Here is what happens in Revelation: some time after Paul died, Satan would be bound for 1,000 years. This was not in John the Apostle's time either, as he said that Satan's seat was in Pergamos (Revelation 2:13), so Satan was still unbound. Peter also said that Satan was walking around like a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8). Paul was given his thorn in the flesh by Satan as well. So Satan was bound after the New Testament was completed; when, I don't know. It had to be after 1008 AD, because he would have been freed last year. BUT HIS ANGELS ARE STILL RUNNING FREE. That's the bad news. Anyway, after Satan is set free sometime in the near future, he will make war with the angels of heaven. He will lose, and knowing his time is short, he will make war with the saints. The Antichrist, a Jew, will come to power in Israel. The False Prophet, probably the Pope at that time, will force everyone to take the mark of the beast. Some will give in and go to the lake of fire forever, while others won't (even if you don't take it, you may suffer eternally). Many Christians will take the mark. It will be visible, not some chip under the skin. THERE WON'T BE A RAPTURE UNTIL AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION! Enoch and Elijah were special cases, and only those two were ever 'raptured'. Noah did not rapture up to God when the flood came; God took him through it. The three Hebrews went through the fire, and they came out. Millions of Christians suffered over the centuries. We must do the same.
