CHRISTIAN GATHERING
CHRISTIANITY OASIS HAS PROVIDED YOU WITH THIS CHRISTIAN GATHERING STUDY. THE CHRISTIAN GATHERING IS PART OF THE SIGNS OF THE END TIMES STUDY. MANY HAVE HEARD OF THE CHRISTIAN GATHERING AND THE SIGN OF THE END TIMES BUT WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN GATHERING AND HOW DOES IT PLAY A PART IN THE END TIMES?  LET US SEEK AND FIND THE TRUTH OF THE CHRISTIAN GATHERING TOGETHER, SHALL WE?

Good, you're back. Getting interesting is it not? I know I sound like a broken record but I REALLY hope you are checking scripture and reading along in your Bible as we study the End Times. If so, you KNOW what we have discovered is the TRUTH. We now know that Antichrist will be an evil world leader that will rule over an empire for 3 and 1/2 years, that will consist of many countries around Europe, Russia and the Middle East.

Now, I want to take this time to explain this once again. After we learned earlier of  the 2nd "Rapture" in between the 6th and 7th Trumpet and the Kingdoms of this world becoming the kingdoms of the Lord. We then learned about the Two Witnesses (Revelation, chapter 11) The woman in the wilderness (Revelation, chapter 12) and about Antichrist and his empire (Revelation, chapter 13). This is very important for you to understand ... Revelation, chapters 11-13 each speak of a 3 and 1/2 year period that the Two Witnesses prophecy during, the believing Israelites and Christians are hidden in the wilderness and Antichrist reigns with terror.

ALL 3 of these events happen during the same 3 and a half year time period.

Is it coincidence that Jesus the TRUE Christ had a ministry that lasted 3 and a half years
and ANTI-Christ will reign terror the same amount of time?

Satan is trying to mirror image what God did as to deceive mankind.

Let us continue our journey into the End Times. The Bible has just shared with you THREE different events that occur within the same three and one half years period. The Two Witnesses ministry, the Woman hidden in the wilderness and Antichrist reign of terror. In others words ... Revelation Chapters 11, 12 and 13 are all occurring during the second three and one half years of the seven years of Tribulation. It is VERY important to understand this.

Now let us proceed. We are now in Chapter 14 of the book of Revelation. It begins by discussing what became of the 144,000 Jewish males that had the mark of God placed in their foreheads. As you recall we learned of these fellas earlier when they received the seal of God.

We have a lamb (Jesus) standing on Mount Zion, which is located in Israel and with Him is the 144,000 that were given the seal of God. Remember these were virgin, Jewish, male Christians which are now being "redeemed from the Earth" (Taken to Heaven)

Now they are on Mount Zion with Jesus.

Another angel with the everlasting Gospel told all mankind to fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of judgment had come.

Another angel said Babylon is fallen, because it made all nations to "drink of the wine of her wrath of her sin."

Another angel came and said, if anyone worships Antichrist or the image that is made or takes the mark of Antichrist (which we learned about earlier) would be tormented with fire and brimstone FOREVER.

Then we are told, blessed are they which die in the Lord from this point on. Does this not FURTHER suggest that there are Christians dying for the cause this late in the End Times?

In other words, when Antichrist demands that you worship him and his image and take the mark, it is better to die than accept his terms, because to say yes, means you go to Hell and then to the Lake Of Fire, forever ... My friend, forever is a long time.

Now I want to take this opportunity to remind you of this TRUTH. There will be Christians ON EARTH dying for the name of Jesus AFTER the Raptures at least up to chapter 14 in the book of Revelation. So if anyone tells you that ALL Christians will be Raptured and even adds that they will be Raptured BEFORE the End Times ... Lift your eyebrow cuz the Bible says that is NOT true.

Gathering

There is one like the Son of man with a crown on his head (Jesus) and in his hand was a sickle.  Another angel told Him to thrust in His sickle to the Earth and to separate the good people, from the bad.

Then another angel with a sickle comes and gathers the bad people and "casts them into the winepress of the wrath of God." It is said that it will be so bad on Earth that the blood will be up to a horses bridle.

We are now in chapter 15, Jesus has just gathered His Jewish elect (First fruits) that were still on Earth and taken them to Heaven. These are they who did not accept the Antichrist or worship him or his image.

This event of the gathering and these Jewish people showing up on the "sea of glass" in Heaven.

This IS the same event as the 2nd "Rapture" and is at the same time.

Now ... What about this 2 Rapture thing. Why, 2 "Raptures"?
It is simple. The first Rapture is for "Gentiles"
Check this out ...

Note that it says all nations and kinds of people show up in Heaven before the throne of God. This means the "gentiles" (non Jewish people).

However, in the second Rapture ...

This says that those that knew the song of Moses, show up in Heaven. Again, in chapter 14, right before these Jewish people show up in Heaven, he gathers his "first fruits", which are JEWISH. First fruits are the BEST sacrifices that were given to God by Israel, in the Old Testament.

But why would God "Rapture" the Gentile believers before he would "Rapture" the Jewish people? The answer is simple. The Jewish people had the opportunity to accept Jesus as their Lord and crucified Him instead. Now, they must encounter Antichrist and many will see TRUTH and accept Jesus as the Lord, and many Jewish souls will find TRUTH before the end.

Note, that in the first "Rapture" there had been no mention of Antichrist ... This is because the Gospel (Truth of Jesus) was not taught to the "Gentiles" during the time of the Jewish people as for them to be able to accept Him as their Lord until after Jesus' death and resurrection.

So the "Gentiles" do not have to experience Antichrist, because they were not AWARE of the TRUTH and were not participants of the Time of the Jewish people. In short ... If a "Gentile" believes in Christ, they will be taken to Heaven at the 1st "Rapture" ... The only way Gentiles will experience Antichrist is if they were non-believers. (Or are CALLED to Preach during the End Times even unto death or are the ones that stay hidden as to replenish the Earth as we found to be TRUTH)

But in the 2nd "Rapture"

REMEMBER ... It says that these that were raptured are they who did not accept Antichrist, and were brought to Heaven at this "Rapture"

See, many people will figure things out as time passes during the End Times, because there will be CALLED Christians with the Truth and will be on Earth preaching to everyone, like the Two Witnesses will be.

In short ... "Gentile" believers will be taken to Heaven, 3 and 1/2 years before the Jewish people that do not accept Antichrist as their Lord, because there will be preachers such as the Two witnesses and Called Christians exposing the Truth and many non-believers will become believers during that 3 and 1/2 year period at the cost of the lives of those who CHOSE to share TRUTH ... Those non-believers that are left here on Earth will experience God's wrath, which we will look at next, as we continue on into, the End Times.

Let us continue our quest into the ...
End Times
