Belief or Faith, what do you have? part two

If you overestimate your belief you will be left behind. The evangelical theology in today's church is primarily based on BELIEF and not on FAITH. The reality is very few ministries and evangelicals teach or preach salvational faith, the majority teach or preach salvational belief. The fact is if you have a very strong, immensly strong salvational belief system you are going to be left behind, unless you heed this (Holy Spirit) warning.

Belief will put you before the pulpit,

Faith will put you before the Lord!

I want to make it very clear I AM NOT DENOUNCING YOUR PULPIT TEACHING, however I am denouncing that as the only teaching. You need to teach yourself, you need to sit before the Lord in faith and study His word daily. You need to prepare for what is coming upon the earth. We have stayed away from the book of revelations for far too long, long enough to miss the fact that WE ARE IN REVELATIONS RIGHT NOW!! I believe many have a belief in the rapture but not a faith in the rapture and their belief is going to fail them and I wish too use the scripture to prove it.

Let's look at what several scriptures read and see what our belief or faith is:

Matthew 24 vs 30 and 31 read;

"Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (31) "And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

1 Corinthians 15: vs 51 and 52 reads;

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but shall all be changed (52) in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Now our belief of these two scriptures as taught from the pulpit is that they cover the RAPTURE ideology which has led to the teaching of the rapture theology, to which I agree. The scripture does teach of a taking away, those dead in Christ and those alive who will be changed in the twinkling of an eye.

Now, the fact is each and every believer in Christ BELIEVES this teaching and has built their faith around it, which I believe is a fundamental mistake, your belief should be built around and supported by your faith, not your faith built around and supported by your belief.

Lets read a couple other scriptures concerning the rapture;

Revelations 10: vs 7 reads

but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

Ok!! now the study begins;

• Matthew 24: 31 it talks about; WITH A GREAT SOUND OF A TRUMPET.
• 1 Corinthians 15: 52 it talks about; AT THE LAST TRUMPET, TRUMPET WILL SOUND
• Revelations 10:7 SOUNDING OF THE SEVENTH ANGEL

In looking for the seventh angel or sounding of the seventh angel or even looking for the trumpet we must move to Revelations 8 vs 5-13 and 9 vs 1-21. Please read these scriptures and study them because these are the facts of what is going to happen, the beginning of the trumpets. I will encapsulate the subject of each trumpet here, you should read the entire scripture.

1. 1/3 of earths vegitation destroyed (First trumpet)
2. 1/3 of the sea turns to blood (Second trumpet)
3. 1/3 of all rivers become contaminated (Third trumpet)
4. 1/3 of ALL light lost (Fourth trumpet)
5. Plague of Terrible locusts (Fifth trumpet)
6. 1/3 of mankind is killed (Sixth trumpet)
7. WAIT WAIT Where is the Seventh Trumpet?

HMMM! The seventh trumpet is not within those verses, why? Because the seventh trumpet is in Chapter 11 vs 15-17 please pay attention;

vs 15 Then the seventh angel sounded; And there were loud voices in heaven, saying "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!" 16 And the twenty four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshipped God, 17 saying: "We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The one who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned. (This is the celebration of the RAPTURE)

Now, if you BELIEVE you will be raptured before #1-6 above please re-evaluate your FAITH. I put forth the FACT THAT THE RAPTURE takes place in Rev 11: 15-17 thus removing any doubt that Christians will NOT be removed from the earth before the first six trumpets blow, as we have been taught.

I also want to make it clear, the trumpets are NOT DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION which is the wrath of God, the trumpets are the JUDGEMENT OF GOD, NOT THE WRATH OF GOD, and if you do not have faith in this your belief system will fail you during these times, because Christians should not be going through this, again it's what we have been taught, or maybe led to believe, either way WE WILL GO THROUGH THE JUDGEMENT TRUMPETS~~~

We were (maybe I misunderstood) taught we would be raptured before any judgement, we would be spared. You will be, it will just be after the judgement and before the tribulation. You must have a STRONG STRONG FAITH TO make it through the above six trumpets, you WILL EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE. Just believing in the rapture will not sustain you through the six trumpets, you must have faith to make it through.

IF your a believer build your faith. If your not a believer REPENT NOW, do not wait.

Evaluate your faith, welcome to the revelation.

God Bless the repenter
