The Truth About The Rapture Theory Part 1

The Truth About The Rapture Theory

In this study we will show scripture that disproves the rapture theory beyond any shadow of a doubt.

First thing to note is the word rapture is not even in the Bible nor implied if we follow God's word chapter by chapter and follow the subject and the object and keep things in the context in which God has written it.

To cover this topic I have chosen the 13th chapter of Mark, as well as a few verses from Ezekiel 13, 2Thessalonians 2 and 1Corinthians 15. In this chapter Christ gives us all the signs that shall happen before His return, which includes the antichrist coming first to play Christ or pretending he is Christ to cause many who have not read God's word indepth to worship him as Christ. Just as he tried to get Christ to do in Matthew ch. 4 when Satan tried to tempt Christ to worship him.

This is what Satan wants. To turn God's children away from God and try and make them worship him instead. The antichrist is not a man in red long handle underwear with horns and a pitchfork, but is Satan [son of perdition spoken of in 2Thessalonians 2] trying to play Christ so he is going to look like what most think Christ shall look like.

So with that said lets take an indepth and close look at these verses in Mark 13, as well as all which align with it.

Mark 13


Mar 13:1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings [are here]!

Mar 13:2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down.

This is what shall happen when the true Christ returns.

Mar 13:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

Christ is going to explain this to them and only them and not to the multitude. This is why Christ spoke so many things in a parable form. So that only those who are meant to see at that time shall see, as noted in Matthew 13:10-17 below.

Matt 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 

Matt 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Matt 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Matt 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

Matt 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

Matt 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Matt 13:16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

Matt 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].

If one were to have eyes to see and still worship antichrist as Christ it would be the unforgivable sin, as noted in Luke 12:1-12. For it is the elect [those who have eyes to see and know the false messiah shall come playing Christ before the true Christ returns] that shall be delivered up before Satan when he is playing Christ for the Holy Spirit to speak through them, as noted in Mark 13:9-13. Some are blinded from seeing the indepth meaning and that the false one shall come first playing Christ for their own protection, for to know who the false one is and still worship him as Christ is the unforgivable sin. Romans 11:7-8 shows where some were blinded except for the elect, as noted below in green.

Rom 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

Rom 11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

Mar 13:4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

The disciples [students of God's word] are asking Christ when is all this going to happen? Just as we today if we have a question should always search for the answer in God's word and not take on to any doctrine that comes along.

Mar 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any [man] deceive you:

Christ first words to them and us today is to take heed [pay attention and stay sharp] and allow no man to mislead or deceive you with teachings that are false and do not align with God's word.

Mar 13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and shall deceive many.

This is why Christ is warning us to learn God's word and stay sharp, for many false pastors, as well as the antichrist himself, shall come saying they are Christians and sharing God's word or in antichrist sake saying he is Christ to mislead many. We have some false pastors in sheep’s clothing that are inwardly ravening wolves ready to devour one with lies and this is why we should check ALL out in God's word and only listen to what aligns with God's word.

Mar 13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled: for [such things] must needs be; but the end [shall] not [be] yet.

Wars and rumors of wars many of which we see and hear of today are all part of God's plan. But we as Christians are to not be troubled or worried or afraid for Father is in control. These are all part of the signs that lead up to Christ return. The end is not yet when you see these going on. Close but not yet.

Mar 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these [are] the beginnings of sorrows.

We see this today and many more earthquakes and tornados and even hurricanes than in the past. God promised us we would see signs in heaven above and earth beneath. Look at the weather and the solar eclipse and the planet alignments. God is really showing us signs in heaven above and earth beneath, as noted in Acts 2:19.

This famine here is not just physical but is spiritual also for God promised us in the last days there would be a famine for hearing His word taught, as noted in Amos 8:11-14. Many churches, but only a few of those are teaching God's word. These are only the beginning of sorrows, for the worst is yet to come which is the biggest spiritual deception known to man when the antichrist is thrown out of heaven [Revelation 12:9] to play Christ to deceive all who have not studied God's word.

Mar 13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

This is speaking to the elect. Those that know God's word and that the false one shall come first pretending he is Christ. For all else will think this one is Christ and worship him as Christ. These will be mentally brow beaten with twisted scripture to try and make them worship the false one as Christ. Just as Satan tried to tempt Christ with twisted scripture in Matthew 4. For Revelation 9 and Luke 21:16-19 declares that not one hair of our heads shall perish. They can kill one spiritually speaking if they know the false one the fake and worship him as Christ, for that is the unforgivable sin.

Mar 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

That is what God's children are to be doing today, as well as when delivered up before the antichrist is holding fast to and sharing God's word.

Mar 13:11 But when they shall lead [you], and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

We are not to premeditate what we shall say when delivered up for it will the Holy Spirit that speaks through us at that time, as He did on Pentecost day in Acts.2. That is where everyone will hear what is said in his or her own language all at one time. Not some blabbering that no one can understand, for God is not the author of confusion, as noted in 1Corinthians 14:33.

Mar 13:12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against [their] parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

This death is none other than Satan, for that is one of his names, as noted in Hebrews 2:14. Many of our family members who think this one is Christ come to rapture them away will deliver us up to him thinking they are trying to save our soul from hell. If they listen to Satan’s lies when delivered up it shall kill them spiritually and cause them to commit the unforgivable sin.

Mar 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

The whole world except for the elect shall worship the antichrist as Christ and will not like to hear anyone say it is not Christ. But if we hold fast to God's word and do not bow to Satan we shall be saved and have eternal life with God. Some will probably even be converted at that time as the elect are being delivered up, for Daniel 11:30-35 tells us some shall stumble but get their act together. Also Ezekiel 44:10-end tells us that some shall stumble and get their act together and that the Zadok [elect] shall not be deceived for one second.

Mar 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

When we see the antichrist the desolator which is what desolation means here. Sitting playing Christ where he should not be sitting, as noted in 2Thessalonians 2. This means we are to flee his deception and lies. Come out of confusion and do not let this one mislead you.

Mar 13:15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter [therein], to take any thing out of his house:

Because once antichrist is here playing Christ he only has a 5 month reign, as noted in Revelation 9 and then Christ shall return. So close to the end at this time don't worry with fleshly things.

Mar 13:16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

Same as above keep working and teaching God's word and sticking with God's word, knowing Christ is soon to return.

Mar 13:17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

This is not a physical pregnancy but a spiritual one by those who are spiritually deceived and have had Satan’s lies implanted in their mind. For God created man for woman and woman for man to replenish the earth.

Mar 13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

Harvest time is not in the winter. This is Christ way of telling us not to be harvested out of season by the antichrist when he comes playing Christ, for the true Christ does not return UNTIL the 7th / last trump.

Mar 13:19 For [in] those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

Going to be the biggest time of deception you have ever seen with Satan playing Christ.

Mar 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

If God had not of shortened the false one's reign to 5 months he would have been so good at playing Christ that he could have maybe deceived even God's elect who did know he was the fake.

Mar 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here [is] Christ; or, lo, [he is] there; believe [him] not:

Do not let people make you think this false one claiming to be Christ is Christ, but wait for the true Christ to return.

Mar 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect.

We have false prophets/teachers now who try to seduce and mislead people and in the future shall have one that claims to be Christ and is none other than Satan in disguise.

Mar 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

Christ has foretold us all things right here in Mark 13 if we have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Mar 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation[antichrist reign when he plays Christ], the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

The following is what takes place after the antichrist reign.

Mar 13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

Mar 13:26 And then after the antichrist reign is over] shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

This is when Christ returns AFTER the antichrist reign not before. This will come on all the world to try and test us all to see whether we are going to listen to God and wait for the true Christ, or hop in bed with Satan, as noted in Revelation 3:10. This word keep in Revelation 3:10 means to guard or protect. It is God's word that guards our mind and keeps us from being tempted into worshipping Satan as Christ.

Mar 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Again only after the antichrist reign does Christ return for the children of God.

Mar 13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near

Mar 13:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, [even] at the doors.

Just as when the fig tree shoots forth leaves you know that summer is nigh. Likewise, when you see all the signs just mentioned come to pass know that Christ return is nigh. The last sign will be Satan playing Christ.

Mar 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

Christ is telling us here that this generation we are in shall not pass and we shall not return to Him UNTIL all these things / signs are done and accomplished.

Mar 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

When Christ returns the flesh age or 2nd earth age shall pass away and be no more, but God's word shall never pass away for God is the Word, as noted in St. John 1:1.

Mar 13:32 But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Only God knows the exact instant or moment Christ shall return. This word hour in the Greek means instant. We will not know the exact instant or moment that Christ shall return, but we shall know the season if we watch for the signs mentioned here in Mark 13, as well as all of God's word.

Mar 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

We are to study and pray and take heed to God's word and know that season even if we do not know the exact moment.


If one does not realize the false one / Satan playing Christ is the last sign we see to happen before Christ returns, then they may think he is Christ and worship him instead of waiting for the true Christ to return. This is why we are to watch and not fall asleep spiritually speaking.

Mar 13:34 [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

Christ left us this Word and return to Heaven and He expects us to watch and stay spiritually on guard and to not allow the enemy Satan to mislead us.

Mar 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

We do not know the exact instant, but we do know the season and that the false one MUST COME FIRST. Which I will cover in more depth from 2Thessalonians shortly.

Mar 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

Christ return will come upon some unexpectantly, because He returns after the antichrist reign when many have been lulled off to sleep Satan’s lies and are now spiritually asleep and worshipping the false one when the true Christ returns. Stay alert and do not let Christ find you in spiritual slumber when He returns.

Mar 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Watch in the Greek means to stay awake spiritually speaking. Do not let man lull you to sleep and hide the true word of God from you. Arm yourself with God's word, whereby man and Satan cannot deceive you.
