Will There be other raptures after the rapture of the Church?
YES! those who accept Christ and are martyred will be resurrected and ascend to Heaven (Rev. 7:9-17)
What about the 144,000 Jewish evangelists....who are seen in Heaven after these things (Rev. 14:1)?
The 2 mighty witnesses will be resurrected for all to see after laying dead for 3 days. (Rev. 11:11-13)
 
What is the Battle of Armageddon?
It will take place during the last days of the Tribulation.  It will take place on Mount Megiddo (Valley of Jezreel) in Israel.  This Armageddon is in Northern Israel.
The global armies will cover an area of about 150-200 miles from north to south.  The world military forces will fight against the Antichrist (leader of European Union--Revived Roman Empire and "New World Order").  Many think that the Antichrist will also command the armies of the West.  Zech. 14:1-3 describes house-to-house combat in Jerusalem.
1.  "The Kings of the south" (Egypt and her allies)  Dan. 11:25
2.  "The Kings of the North" (Syria and her allies which will include Russia)  Dan. 11
3.  "The Kings of the East" (200,000,000 man army from the Orient)  Will kill 1/3 of humanity as they march toward Israel. Rev. 16:12
The Ataturk Dam will stop the flow of the Euphrates River.  There is word of a costly superhighway being built from China to the Middle East currently.
It will be the worst war ever  Rev. 14:20.
100 lb hailstones will fall from the sky (Rev. 16:21)
Rev. 14:15
Rev. 16:17-21....world-wide earthquake...which will prepare the earth for the Millennial reign of Christ.
Babylon will be destroyed in one hour....flames...Rev. 18.
Violent Natural events will destroy much of the earth...volcanoes, hurricanes and floods.
Luke 21:25-26  "And there will be signs in the sun,....."
Before this great battle, there will be nuclear, biological and chemical warfare around the world.
*****The battle will be brought to an end by the appearance of Jesus who puts an end to a nearly gobal-sized battle that would otherwise finish all life on earth.********
Zech. 14:12...the plague against all who fought against Jerusalem....
 
AUTHOR'S NOTE:  THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON AT THE END OF THE SEVEN YEARS OF TRIBULATION IS NOT THE LAST WAR...THE LAST GREAT WAR WILL OCCUR AT THE CLOSE OF THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST (P.53).
 
Let's Share our Faith in Christ with everyone we meet,

What is the Tribulation?
7 years....last 3 1/2 are the worst  Matt. 24:22.  It will be worse than all terrible events in history combined.  "Jacob's Trouble", "Wrath of the Lamb", "Wrath of God", or "Day of the Lord."
 
The Four Horses of the Apocolypse:
1.  a White Horse
2.  a Red Horse
3.  a Black Horse
4.  a Pale Horse
Rev. 6:17
As the 7 years progress, the judgments increase in intensity.  (see page 30 list)
It is estimated that 2/3 of the earth's population will die during the Tribulation.
 
Who is the False Prophet?
A false prophet is either called by himself, a false religious leader or Satan.  Rev. 13 porphet is commissioned by the Deceiver and Destroyer of the Ages, Satan, himself.
He will be a master deceiver and very influential religious leader who will assume spiritual control over the entire world, prepare the way for the Antichrist, mimicking the way John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus Christ.
False Prophet described in Rev. 13:
Will be able to perform miracles,  promotes worship of the Antichrist,   Controls the "Mark of the Beast" (666), and empowers the image of the Beast.  
Luke 21:8....protect yourself from deception.
 
The Apostate--False Last Days' Church
The Great Harlot   Rev. 17
The apostate church believes there are many ways to Heaven.
Traits of the apostate church:
1.  Deny the infallibility of God's Holy Word
2.  Deny the power of the Cross, Christ's atoning Blood and the power of the Holy Spirit
3.  Deny Jesus is the only Way to Heaven (I John 4:3)
4.  Draw attention away from Christ and to themselves or another (2Pet. 2:18)
5.  Greedy for fame and fortune (2 Pet. 2:15)
6.  Will not address sin or its consequences (James 4:8-10; 2 Pet. 2:19-21)
John 14:6    I Pet. 1:18-19
 
Blessings to you,
Becky

Read Pages 23-26 "Jesus is Coming" by Diana Schiech
Read Ezekiel 38-39
Israel is the center of all end-time prophecy.
Zech. 12:2 (read)...a country less than 8,000 square miles!
After the prophet Ezekiel was taken captive by the Babylonians in 597B.C., the prophet Jeremiah prophesied that one day Israel would be reborn.  Ez. 37:21
Israel was allowed to return home and being rebuilding their temple in 537B.C....but they were never a nation again until May 14, 1948.
Its almost like reading today's paper when we read about how surrounding hostile nations will rise up against Israel in the last days soon after they are reborn (Ez. 38-39). Prime Minister Netanyahu recently stated that Ezekiel 37 had been fulfilled. So when will the Ez. 38-39 war take place?  Practically all Islamic countries want to see Islam retake Jerusalem and the entire country of Israel.
read Ex. 38:9-10.
8 participants:
Russia (Rosh), Central Asia (Magog), Turkey (Meshech), Turkey, southern Russia & Iran (Tubal), Iran (Persia), Sudan & Libya (Ethiopia/Cush), Turkey (Gomer), southern Turkey (Beth-togarmah), Leader of Coalition (Gog)..."and many peoples with you."
Ez. 38:13 indicates that possibly Spain and English-speaking nations will weakly protest the invasion but will not be able to help.  This is because God Almighty, Himself will take over this battle!  It will take seven months to bury the Dead (Ez. 39:12) and Israel will use the discarded weapons for firewood for seven years (Ez. 39:9).
Scholars believe that this war will take place right before or soon after the Antichrist and Israel sign a 7 year peace treaty that marks the beginning of the Tribulation period (Dan. 9:27).
After the 7 years of Tribulation, there will be a massive world war at Armageddon.
Rev. 6:4 describes the Second Seal....the Fiery Red Horse of the Apocalypse.
It is amazing to learn that only one-sixth of the opposing army will remain (Ez. 39:2).  God's Victory!
However, After the Islamic army suffers such great defeat, the way will be clear for Antichrist to gain influence and control over the world without much resistance.  There will be a false peace when Israel rebuilds their temple the first three and one half years of Peace Treaty.      
 
May we be keenly aware of the nearness of Christ's Rapture of the church.  Any day now!....!....!
 
Excited about God's plans,
Becky
