The Truth About The Rapture: Its Significance And World Control
Posted by Job on July 22, 2008
From Joeland7s Sword of Truth site.
(My failure to properly credit this initially was a MAJOR ERROR on my part … will do my best to prevent it from happening again.)
The rapture theory is not Biblical and was founded as an Anti-Reformation tool of the Catholic Church. The purpose of the rapture theory was to destroy the reformation or control protestantism, recapture the Holy Land and establish the New Word Order and the One world government.
Barbara Rossing said in her book The Rapture Racket,
” the Rapture is a fraud of monumental proportions, as well as a disturbing way to instill fear in people.
“Whether prescribing a violent script for Israel or survivalism in the United States, this theology distorts God’s vision for the world,” Rossing writes. “In place of healing, the Rapture proclaims escape. In place of Jesus’s blessing of peacemaking, the Rapture voyeuristically glorifies violence and war …. This theology is not biblical. We are not Raptured off the earth, nor is God.
Where did the rapture theory originate and why?
Reformers such as Luther, Calvin, Huss, Zwingli, Melanchthon, Bullinger and others had identified the Catholic Church as Mystery Babylon in Revelation and the Popes as the Anti-Christ. Millions of sincere Catholics were leaving the mother church and joining the reformation movement.. The church set out to neutralize and destroy the protestant movement.. What they could not do through brute force and the military inquisitions they did through political espionage, spiritual intrigue, and using mind control techniques by secret societies. Most of the books published on the rapture are brainwashing the readers mind. All of the books writen by Tim Lahaye’s, John Hagee, Jack van Impe, Jerry Jenkins , John Walvoord and movies such as the Omega Code and Megiddo are design for mind control. This anti-protestant doctrine is taught in many universities and seminaries such as Dallas Theological Seminary, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Southwestern Assemblies of God, Zion Bible College, Moody Bible Institute, Global University, Liberty and Regent University and well as a host of other leading colleges and universities The rapture cult has the largest following than any cult in the US or Europe.
Why were sincere Catholics, priests and monks leaving the Catholic Church.?
People were leaving because of corruptions in the church. If one look at the Babylonian sun worship, and the present Roman Catholic Mass there are many similarities. Baal worship seem to have taken over the Catholic Church. The icon of the virgin mother and child with halos (representing the sun), Mary as the queen of heaven, (Isis – queen of heaven) confessionals, wafer worship, transubstantiation, and priests as exclusive mediators of God were all derived from the Satanic Babylonian religion. Roman Catholicism became a mixture of witchcraft, Judaism, paganism, and perverted Christianity. When this corruptions was exposed by the reformers, Rome was outraged, and staged Holy Inquisitions, design to rid the world of heretics. The Inquisition included torturing and murdering people who didn’t not agree with the Catholic views. Ten of thousands of people were killed and some historians even put the numbers in the millions. Later, in response to the Vatican’s oppressive dogma, Martin Luther, a former Augustinian monk, nailed his 95 theses to the wall of a church in Germany, heralding Protestantism. The Vatican was shaken as Protestantism spreads rapidly through Europe. In order to stamp out the spiritual rebellion, Pope Paul III ordered Ignatius de Loyola to found the Order of Jesuits, which would act as the intelligentsia and secret militia of the Vatican. Loyola had already founded the occult Illuminati, which he then placed under the umbrella of the Vatican ” Ignatius a Merovingian Jew from Loyola Spain was a member of the Alumbrados before he founded the Illuminati and the Jesuits. The Merovingian Jews claim to be decedents of Jesus and Mary of Magdalene. Thus you have books and movies like DaVinci Code, Prieure de Sion, Passover Plot, Holy Blood Holy Grail, Bloodline of the Holy Grail, being produced and circulated by Hollywood Kabbalist movie studios and publishing houses controlled by the Illuminati. These books are blasphemous teachings design to nullify the true Gospel of Jesus. Many of the Popes, Cardinals, Bishops and Priest were Merovingian Jews whose agenda was to destroy true Christianity and pervert the true gospel.
The Jesuits Oath:
“I furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants’ heads against the walls, in order to annihilate forever their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus.”
It was when Pope Paul III convened the Council of Trent that the church formally addressed the protestant reformation with edicts, dogmas and doctrines. A disciple of Ignatius, Francisco Ribera came up with a theory that would take the attention off the Pope as being the Anti-Christ and put it on some future individual. This was the beginning of the Rapture doctrine. The Jesuits infiltrated the protestant movement, developed protestant theology, and purposely mis interpreted scriptures relating to Bible prophecy. They also controlled the educational system and bribe and blackmailed governments of Europe and America to promote their agenda. Two other groups that were instrumental the origin and development of the rapture theory were the Knights Templars (Masons) and the Knights of Malta (Knights of Columbus).
Barbara Aho said in her article (The Merovingian Dynasty) “it was also the The avowed objective of the Templars was to protect the Christians who came to visit the Holy Places: their secret objective was the re-building of the Temple of Solomon on the model prophesied by Ezekiel. “This re-building, formally predicted by the Judaizing Mystics of the earlier ages, had become the secret dream of the Patriarchs of the Orient. The Temple of Solomon, re-built and consecrated to the Catholic worship would become, in effect, the Metropolis of the Universe.”
In my up coming blog I will go into more detail about how the Jesuits and the Illuminati set about to implement the Rapture theory to achieve their goal.. Protestant churches, Evangelical seminaries, and bible talking and Bibleprobe preachers like John Hagee, Jack van Impe, Jack Hayford, TD Jakes, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Pat Robinson, Creflo Dollar, Bishop Charles Blake, Billy Graham, and masons who promote the rapture have been seduced by Jesuits theology and manipulated by the kabbalist practitioners, thus they are part of the world-wide Anti-Christ conspiracy.
If you are reading this document, I strongly suggest you print it out, send it to your friends and family members, because it would be taken off this web site by the workers of the prince of darkness. May the Spirit of God lead you into all truth. God Bless.

Why does anybody believe this nonsense about the Catholic Church. Don’t get me wrong the Catholic Church IS apostate but really do you think the Pope is going to make the world receive the mark. LOL! Ha ha ha! Enough of the Catholic as the beast stuff. The Catholic Church is NOT this powerful. It is nothing more than a large apostate religion. Sigh!

Kyle said
The book of Revelation was written late in the first century AD. Did the Catholic Church exist then? NO! So explain this.
“The beast that thou sawest was(Past tenths), and is not(currently not); and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit(later)”
How could he be in the past, but not the present(AD 96), only to rise again(End times). What “beast”? Not the catholic Church.

The Rapture as it presented today was created by the Jesuits by the late 1500’s. Although, the Bible does speak of the Lord Jesus Christ taking away of the saints from the Earth after Tribulation in 1 Thes. and Matthew 24. Now, most people who believe this aren’t in some plot to take over the world. Prophecy is clear that the Antichrist will come and Israel (though apostate) will exist before the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. If God didn’t want Israel to exist, Israel wouldn’t exist now. Also, the Khazar is Jew baiting lies. Sephradic, Lemba, etc. Jewish people historically and genetically are proven to Semitic and live in Israel today. So, the Khazar myth is refuted. Also, Ignatius wasn’t a Jewish person and no evidence exists that all Merovingians are Jewish. Merovigians were Germanic who are related to the Franks from the 500’s A.D. ALso, the Merovingians intermarried with the Saxe Coburg Gothas, and other tribes that aren’t Jewish. It’s hypocritical for some to deny many Isrealis their Jewish identity (by calling them Khazars) then call the Merovingians Jews. The Replacement crowd needs to make up their minds. Also, ROmanism is the opposite of Judaism evident on how Papists murdered many Jewish people. The idol of the Mass and calling Mary the Queen of Heaven isn’t Torah based at all. So, half truths while ignoring Jewish people being murdered then and now isn’t my cup of tea.

Catholics only believe in a post tribulation rapture. according to what Jesus said in Matt 24:
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.

Jesus did say it, but obviously the Roman Catholic Church encorporates a lot of false doctrine in its church.

Kyle, The Catholic Church is still very powerful. The Knights of Malta control many corporations. The Jesuits are one of the largest religious groups in the world with ownership of universities like Georgetown, etc. Rupert Murdoch is a Papist, billionare, media kingpin, and the member of the Papal Knights of St. Gregory. The Vatican has over 1 billion membership. Also, the Book of Revelation talks about the New Jerusalem, the new Heaven and New Earth which didn’t exist in ca. 95 AD. at all.
Kyle said
Tim,
You sound like a 7 day Adventist with your response. Very laughable. I’m sure the Vatican keeps files on every living person in the world too? LOL! Sorry man but no I don’t believe in this conspiracy theory at all. The day I see some old head Pope pointing his finger at the TV screen telling me to take the mark or the day the “Swiss Guard” LOL! with their kooky outfits knocks on my door and arrests me is the day I will believe you. But seeing that it will never happen I can rest easy. This Catholic as the Beast is such a scream.
Now as for your response regarding the New Heaven, New Earth, and New Jerusalem not existing before AD 95 that is weak. First of all Jerusalem, the current earth, and the current Heaven exist. There all “known” entities which will become new. The beast clearly WAS in the past tenths. Re-read it and grasp the simple language.
Lastly, I grew up Catholic. I was baptized, went through first holy communion, was confirmed, went to mass every week, and yes even confession every month or so. The Catholic Church is absolute apostasy. However, they in no way can yield the power attributed to the beast.
This Catholic Church as the beast is very very funny.

The beast will be a literal person. He will work through, however, every government and every established respected religious system and every economic and political and military system in the world. The beast will use the Roman Catholic Church, but he will use the Protestant churches as well. The beast will use the charismatic and Pentecostal churches, but he will also use the Reformed and Messianic churches as well as Judaism, Islam, New Age, Hinduism, atheism, etc. The beast will use communism and socialism, but also capitalism. (If anything, the descriptions of Babylon and the harlot in Revelation are entirely capitalistic!) And the beast will use Iran, Russia, the EU, the Vatican, and the UN sure, but the beast will also use the United States. The beast will use lawlessness and crime, but also the police. The beast will use both the peace movements and the military. And the beast will use both globalism and nationalism.
What that means is that the actual identity of the beast is almost of no consequence. Keep in mind: the man of sin won’t even be revealed until halfway through the great tribulation! So the issue is not the identity of the man of sin himself. For instance, let us assume that a person IS NOT a hyper Calvinist with a strong view of predestination (which incidentally describes my own beliefs at this time, not that will go into that area or its implications) … in that case the anti – Christ could wind up being one of any number of people and could come on the scene at any time (by the way, being a free will Arminian and believing that the anti – Christ will be a set person and Jesus Christ will come at a set time is very contradictory).
Instead, the issue is being fully aware that if something is not of God and your heart is invested in it, then you have a powerful stake in something that the anti – Christ will use to defy God and persecute the church. The solution? DIVESTMENT! My purpose in putting articles like this up is not so much trying to interpret specifics of prophecy as it is exhorting Christians to divest themselves spiritually and emotionally of the things that are of this world. As someone who once had a heavy stake in black nationalism/identity politics and then went on to replace it with an even bigger stake in the religious right (in addition to having a somewhat unhealthy preoccupation with sports!) I am only warning people against being what I myself was a short time ago.

Kyle,
A Response to you would be simple since you mention a lot of omissions and slick comments.
I’m not a 7th Day Adventist. Ellen White was a notorious false prophetess. My response wasn’t laughable. My response was accurate. I’ve listed example, and you’ve listed no refutation of what I’ve said about the Vatican’s power. It’s a fact that the Knights of Malta own many corporations or have ties to international institutions like Greoffrey Biosi, Steven Saxton, and others. I think you need to comprehend that. Never did I outline my views on the identity of the Beast. The Beast is one man. The Vatican’s leaders as you admit are apostate. They are also in league with the new world order as Pope Benedict XVI admitted to. Also, you make silly words like the Vatican monitors everyone globally. Of course they don’t. Yet, the Vatican own acres of land worth billions of dollars, they are leaders of supporting illegal immigration in America, they have a key role in the Ecumencial MOvement, and they are influencing the White House (evidence on Bush might being a Catholic). To believe that a group with over 1 billion members, has corporate ties, meets with world leaders, etc. has little power is a lie. You know it’s a lie also.
I talked about the new Heaven and the New Earth. I never outlined the composition of them. Also, I do realize that they will be new. You need to use context instead of adding to the meaning of my own words. I do grasp the simple language. You need to grasp that the Beast also involves the future in a great extent. Also, my argument wssn’t weak, but your words was full of distortion.
You growing up Catholic has no revelance on the identity of the Beast. Many folks growing up Catholic have no idea what it’s about totally just like many in the Masonic Lodge. In here, I’ve never called the Vatican the Beast. The Beast is one man, yet the Vatican does have a big role in globalism and the new world order. You awaken me from my slumber Kyle. Thanks for that.

I was wondering if you mind taking a moment and sharing something with me about your beliefs? This could also apply to any of your visitors here at the blog: if anyone reading this would like to email me your answer, I’d greatly appreciate it.
The question is this: thinking about your religious belief and its importance to you, what is the SINGLE greatest thing that you think your faith gives you know or will give you in the future? When thinking about it, please consider that you are trying to convince another human being that your faith is the one they should choose and you can only make one single argument for accepting it.
I greatly appreciate the help. Again, I’m not looking for a series of good reasons for believing what you do. Please limit your answer to ONE thing or advantage that your faith gives you.
Email me at hoopman4you@yahoo.com is you would like to participate.
Thank you!

Tim,
I think you need to read Job’s response. It is quite thorough and complete. It is the most plausible also. So please don’t think I’m the only one who disagrees with the kooky Catholic Church theory.

Here is some speculation that might be interesting to explore.
About the beast….We are told he will be assasinated, then rise from death. Could there be info somewhere in the Word to give more light on this? Maybe the book of Jude has some info to help us. There, we are told that satan wanted the body of Moses, and the archangel Michael had to stop him from having that body.
Then we must ask why satan would even want that body. Could it be that satan wanted to put it on like an old suit and mislead the Israelites, thus foiling God’s plan? That has always been his goal.
So suppose there is a famous man on the scene today, a charismatic man who even does miracles and is well known around the world and has entertained kings. Maybe his mother is Jewish.
It could even be a Christian, whose soul and spirit had gone to Heaven when assasinated, leaving his body behind with an already built in reputation. If this scenario is right, wouldn’t that fill in a lot of blanks in our search through the Word? Comments? …DavWms

David,
Hi hope you are well.
The beast’s head was wounded.
Love,

David L. Williams said
John, I am well, thank you. And I hope the same for you.
Yes, the head of the beast was wounded, with a MORTAL wound. RSV, Rev13:3. KJV says, “And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death;….” In any case, the beast will amaze people by his recovery and people will follow him with wonder.
Love, DavWms

If there was anything the came out of the many conspiracies that the Catholic church has said it’s led, preterism would make the most sense. Once the reformers made their ideas know some would say that preterism was born out of this.
If the Catholic church was going to shed the appearance of the whore church of Babylon it would have behooved the many to think that much of what was said in Revelation had already taken place in 70 A.D. We can only speculate at best. But the preterist theory would make more sense.
Funny thing about conspiracies if one says there is no conspiracy then that is seen as a conspiracy in itself. You can’t win. Also, once a conspiracy is shown, it isn’t much of a conspiracy after the fact because once it is proven there is no longer a conspiracy!

666 – The Beast of Revelation Identified

Joe Ortiz Associates said
Former Talk Show Host’s Two New Books
Challenge Evangelicals’ Theology and Politics
Redlands, CA – A former Los Angeles-based talk show host has written two books that challenge the Pre-Tribulation Rapture and evangelicals that attempt to influence the U.S.’s political decisions concerning the state of Israel.
Joe Ortiz, the first Mexican American to host and English-language talk show on a commercial radio station, claims evangelicals who support the dispensational, premillennial and Left Behind doctrines have been misinformed by proponents who have misinterpreted the Bible.
Ortiz claims in his two recently published books, The End Times Passover and Why Christians Will Suffer Great Tribulation (published by Author House) that careful scrutiny of the Bible proves that the Promised Land is not in the Middle East, the state of Israel is not God’s time piece to Armageddon, that there will be no Pre-Tribulation Rapture, and that God’s true disciples will experience great tribulation.
“Right wing evangelicals who promote the Left Behind doctrine (like Tim LaHaye, John Hagee, Hal Lindsey and others), believe the State of Israel is key to Bible prophecy,” said Ortiz. “The proponents of this erroneous doctrine have unwittingly been pounding their theological hammers on U.S. foreign policy for over a century, only to drive a bigger wedge between Jews and Arabs who want peace in the Middle East.
Ortiz stated his book is not a politically-motivated treatise designed to influence people to choose sides between Palestinians or Jews. He said his is an academic polemic designed for people to recognize their role should be one of peacemakers rather than promoting military solutions to a feud that’s been going on for centuries. He said his research was based on analyzing the etymology of key words in the Bible that prove conclusively that the Left Behind notion promoted by many evangelicals begins to fall apart when examined carefully.
“It took over 20 years of research to provide conclusive answers to the premillennial, dispensational debate,” said Ortiz.
The author’s media experience includes more than 20 years of news reporting and hosting programs on TV and radio, as well as writing for a syndicated publisher in California.
Ortiz claims that “when those preachers and teachers of Bible prophecy read this book, they will soon realize they have been promoting a militant and destructive doctrine instead of a genuine gospel of peace.”

David L. Williams said
Somehow, the 20 years of research Ortiz did does not impress me. I can read the Bible and come to conclusions different than his, easily. Nor do I follow LaHaye, Hagee, Lindsey, or any other man.
We often talk of “rightly dividing the Word.” But few do. Few actually see the vast difference between those who will become the Bride of Christ, and the Jews who will not receive the same reward. Few see that Paul brought a different Gospel than the other Apostles brought to the Jews. Yes, it is open for Jews to also be part of the Bride, but generally, that is not the portion for the Jews.
Without seeing this separation of destinies, it is futile to argue pre or post tribulation. It is like arguing apples and oranges, both fruit, but not the same….DavWms
