Six: The Mark Unleashed 666 Part V: The Second Coming

The Second Coming of Christ

Will it really be silent and no one will see it? Will everyone dissappear in thin are as mentioned in the Left Behind movies and in "The Moment After" and of course taken for granted in the movie "Six: The Mark Unleashed" 666?

The Bible is simple and clear. But many have twisted it's meanings.

What does the Bible teach in regards to the Second Coming of Christ?

Act 1:9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Act 1:10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Act 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

OK. Here are the clear principles given by the Bible.

• First we can see that Christ was "taken up and a cloud receive Him out of their sight". He just didn't vanish but Jesus ascended and received in the clouds. (verse 9)
  
• Second important point is that as Christ ascended they all looked up until they could see him no more (why else would they be looking up)

• Third crucial point. Verse 10 says "shall so come in like manner" as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Now this is very important to undersanding the Second Coming. Because the disciples SAW Christ ascend he didn't just vanish. And those two men in white apparel are saying clearly that Jesus will return the same way! Which way? The Same way He Left!

In other words, Jesus will come VISIBLY and not SECRETLY. And we shall SEE HIM as the disciples saw Him when He ascended.

Check out this text in Revelation 1:7:

Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Does that seem secret to you? I don't think so. Okay. Let's go to Matthew 24 where Christ Himself talks about His coming and see what He has to say about His own coming:

1. Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. When there is lightning every one sees it. See how the text is emphasizing the "shining" of the lightning and not the noise. It says that as the lightning "shineth" in the same way Christ coming will shine all over the world and every one will see Him.
2. Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
   Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
   

Wow! That sound very visible to me. All the tribes shall mourn when Christ comes. Christ will come with great glory and there shall be a great sound of a trumpet. NO ONE WHO BELIEVES IN THE RAPTURE EVER SAYS THAT! THEY SAY IT'S SECRET!

I'll come to chapter 24 of Matthew later on since there are a few texts that some have misinterpreted there.

Let's check out what Paul says about the matter:

1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep .
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

What points does these verses present? Do they favor a secret rapture? NO NO NO NO.

It does talk about a rapture but it is a "public" rapture. One that happens when Christ comes in the air. Does these verses say anything about Christ coming secretly? NO NO NO. Let's see.

1. verse 16 Christ comes with a "shout", "with a trumpet of God". Doesn't sound silent to me. Never heard of a "silent" Shout!
2. verse 16 the "dead in Christ rise first". There is a resurrection when Christ comes.
3. verse 17 it is at this time that we are "caught up" or as the greek says "harpazo" which means caught up. But it doesn't happen secretly it happens at the moment of Christ's Glorious coming.
   

No secret rapture is mentioned in these texts.

Six: The Mark Unleashed 666 Part IV: The Tribulation

The Truth About the Rapture and Christ's True Second Coming

Note: Please read all the previous posts before reading this one. that way you'll get the complete thrust of this blog.
The whole purpose of the movie is to show the prophetic events that will take place in the future following the rapture. This is based on what many christians believe to be the pre-tribulation theory. John Darby was the proponent in the 1820's and the concept has be popularized by others such as Hal Lindsey, Scoffield - the author of the Scoffield's Bible, and in these "last days" by Tim La Haye. But what many do not know is that this theory was a pre-meditated attack initiated by the counter-reformation with the purpose to deviate the minds from the real Antichrist to an imaginary and mysterious antichrist that will come in the future. Protestants in a whole have swallowed this deception "hook line and sinker"( with the exception of a little group of churches who have maintained their protestant roots).

Truth:

There will be a future tribulation that will be "as never was before".
Mat 24:21 "for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. "

If we read Matthew 24 leaving out all pre-conceptions we can get a clear understanding of what this tribulation is and some of the things that will happen.

During this time real christians will be thrown into prison because of their faith and many will be killed:

Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.

One of the methods of destroying the saints is also mentioned in the Bible:

Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

So you can see that these things mentioned in the movie are in fact in the Bible.

False

The problem is when will the tribulation take place? Will there be a rapture to precede it? Is the rapture really Christ's second coming? Will the church, the "faithful" go thru the tribulation?

These questions need to be answered with the Bible to really understand what it really teaches.
So I am going to concentrate on answering in this post the following questions: Will there be a rapture? and Is the rapture really Christ's second coming?




I recommend you see the whole seven part series of this video. I have included them in this post so stick around. I'll place a video in between comments.

I'm only going to use the Bible as my source of info in this post. You'll be surprised how clear it speaks to us today. I recommend you clear your mind of any prior belief so the Bible can speak to you. Well anyway, I'm going to try and not make this post too long. I'll separate this post in to other posts if necessary. Actually, this post has already gotten a little too big so check the next post to continue in this evaluation of the rapture from the movie Six: The Mark Unleashed.
