"Immediately after the tribulation of those
days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and
the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken:
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. 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 (Mat
24:29-31)."

This article is many pages long and when
each part is loaded will be divided into about 9 segments consisting of 10-12
pages each. It is crammed full of insights, perspectives, and Biblical
truths challenging to everyone. It is now adapted to HTML for the internet
and taken from a book by the same title by Cohen G. Reckart, Pastor. It
was felt that the contents of this book was of extreme importance to Christians
of Faith and so it has been made available via the Apostolic Messianic Fellowship
Web Site. It is dedicated to the Lord Jesus Messiah for a better
understanding of the truth of his Kingdom and his Post-Tribulational coming
as he taught it in Matthew Chapter 24. It is sent with prayer to the
Brothers and Sisters who dare to stand in the faith and the doctrine
of Messiah, without the falsehood of Jewish eschatology and it's Christian
dispensationalism version.
Why the need for
this book?
False prophets and teachers will arise before the second coming of Jesus
and their heresies will deceive many. The final result of these heretical
antichrist reinterpretations of Scripture is to cause souls to be lost by
subverting them to believe lies and have a false faith and a false hope.
Prophecy is the basis of all doctrine
and truth. The angel told Apostle John: *the
testimony of Jesus Messiah is the Spirit of Prophecy (Rev
19:10).*
Prophecy is the foreknowledge of God spoken
or written before an event comes to pass. No prophecy of the Scriptures
is subject to or controlled by private interpretation (2Pet 1:20). Meaning
that no Jew or Gentile can structure or manipulate the interpretation of
prophecy to suit their private purposes and objectives (whether for world
control or to claim being God's people). When this happens, God will
raise up Prophets to bring correction upon these re-interpretations and this
will bring rebuke upon those who are giving out false teachings. This
rebuke will bring retaliation from the snake throne and cause persecution
and death upon those who expose error and who preach the truth. Case
in point: Jesus and the Apostles. Therefore, all Scripture interpretation
must be filtered through the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles. Upon
that foundation the entire eschatology and doctrines of the New Testament
Church is built.
Prophecy will always be fulfilled exactly
as God predicts it. No man or nation can alter that fact. Time
will prove God is correct and all men in disagreement with him liars (Rom
3:4). In the end all liars and deceivers, like their daddy the devil, will
be cast into the Lake of Fire! If a man wants to lie and manipulate
the truth to achieve a great name and fellowship with antichrist Talmudic
Pharisees, then he has his reward like Judas. Money now and rubbing
shoulders with the antichrist will be rewarded with a hot eternal
vacation.
Prophecy, setting
the stage of Truth against heresies or false
interpretations:
The first event of Prophecy is in Genesis
2:17--"But of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die." The first lie
was against that prophecy and was done by the serpent in Genesis
3:4--"And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye
shall not surely die."
Here we observe that when a prophecy is
reinterpreted and given a false rendering, the purpose is to deceive and
through that deception to entice souls to do what they are forbidden to do
and thus be damned. Any reinterpretation of Prophecy has only one purpose
and that is to deceive and thereby cause souls to sin by disobedience and
then be damned. Any false interpretation of endtime Prophecy then will
cause souls to be deceived and to be damned owing that they will do what
is expressly forbidden them to do. In this case a reinterpretation
that turns souls from Christ to antichrist, will cause them to be damned
because they will do and believe as the antichrist bids, and not as Jesus
Messiah bids. For this reason, Jesus prefaced his Matthew 24 eschatology
with the caution: "And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you." He
was speaking here specifically to the Apostles as representative of the entire
New Testament Church about current Jewish deceptions regarding eschatology
and the plan of salvation. This transfers over to the whole world and
is the substructure of TRUTH (do not be deceived). Yes, Jesus warned that
the devil would be out again in the endtime with his personal antichrist
to deceive if it were possible the very elect. And the devil will use a false
reinterpretation of the plan of salvation and a false eschatology interpretation
to do the deceiving.
ENDTIME magazine leads from Christ to
Antichrist
In May 1992 I received a new magazine named
ENDTIME. Its owner and editor is Rev. Irvin Baxter. Not since 1988
when the Pre-Trib rapture group went mad over the book entitled
*88 Reasons Why Jesus Will Return in 1988.*
have I been so troubled in the Spirit. In that May issue on page 19,
there was a full page *Emergency* request for a million dollars and a prophecy
by Rev. Baxter. It was the prophecy that grabbed my attention and I
quote it below:
MIDEAST TREATY
MOST IMPORTANT PROPHETIC FULFILLMENT SINCE THE
CRUCIFIXION
*The signing
of an Arab-Israeli Peace Treaty will be the most important prophetic fulfillment
since the crucifixion of Jesus. According to the Bible, the signing
of this treaty will begin the last 7 years before the final "Battle of
Armageddon."
In the middle
of this 7 year period the Great Tribulation begins. This time of religious
persecution will last for three and one-half years (Revelation 12:14. 13:5.
Daniel 7:25) (italics used to identify the quote).*
What was Rev. Baxter prophesying?
1.) A treaty between Arafat and Israel would
signal the beginning of the great tribulation (the treaty was signed on September
13, 1993).
2.) The seven years of tribulation according
to Rev. Baxter would begin on the date the treaty was signed. It was signed
on 9-13-1993. Did the great tribulation start as he prophesied?
3.) His prophecy inferred that the Arabs
are the antichrist. Can this be found anywhere in prophecy? Did
not Jesus warn the Apostles that antichrist or a false messiah would arise
from among the Jews themselves, since the coming of a Messiah concerns only
fulfillment of Jewish eschatology in Daniel 9:25? How could a false
messiah come from Arabs or Gentiles then? Jesus warned only of false
Jewish messiahs and Christs, so this automatically rules out any non-Jew
regardless of how many may make the claim. Rev. Baxter goes directly against
the teachings of Jesus, corrects Jesus, and alleges that antichrist is coming
from among the Arabs. This is Arab hatred plain and clear, passing
on to Christians Jewish hatred of that people for whom Jesus also died.
Let's recap what
Rev. Baxter is teaching:
1.) The Arabs are the
antichrist.
2.) The temple will be rebuilt before
the middle of the week so Arafat can sit in it as the
antichrist.
3.) Arafat is the man of sin and the
antichrist.
4.) Arafat will break the covenant in
the middle of the week.
5.) Arafat will sit in the temple as
God.
6.) Arafat will stop the animal sacrifices
and this makes God really mad.
7.) God will then pour out his wrath upon
Arafat and the Arabs because they made the temple into the abomination of
desolation by ending revived blood sacrifices.
8.) Arafat and the Arabs will issue the
mark of the beast and make all nations receive it.
9.) God will come and fight against the
Arab nations and destroy them in the battle of Armageddon.
Let me say here that Mount Moriah has been
more holy and more sacred under Arab control than at the majority of the
time the Jews had it in the Old Testament. Arabs have not sacrifice
children here; Arabs have not killed Prophets here; Arabs have not
set up abominable idols of Baal, Molech, Ashtoreth, or Tammuz here;
Arabs have not offered up worship in the form of sorcery or black witchcraft
here; Arabs have not used the Temple mount as a headquarters of the
Iscarri to send out murderers to kill Christians; Arabs have not used
the Temple Mount for blasphemy against Jesus Messiah; Arabs have not
defiled the Temple Mount with mysticism and devilish doctrines of (Kabbalah);
Arabs have not permitted fornication and homosexuality upon this mount;
And Arabs have not allowed profane Priests who masqueraded as did the
Pharisees whom Jesus said were children of the devil; Arabs have not
killed Christians and secretly buried them in the walls of the caverns under
the Temple and RIGHT under where above the ALTAR was situated (Rev 6:9-11).
If anything, the Arabs are more devoted to the God of the Old Testament
than any Jew presently making his voice heard in the world. Let the
Jews forsake their abominations, their sins, and come to repentance and show
the world by righteousness in attitude and in conduct that they will forsake
their Talmud and turn to God with all their heart through the Lord Jesus
Messiah or they are not entitled to have a place once so sacred, to set up
again a bloodly killing religion or headquarters. Mount Moriah is to the
Prophets, Jesus, the Apostles, and Christians what Berlin, Nurnburg, Triblinka,
and Dacha were to the Jews.
From Jerusalem and Mount Moriah came over
a hundred years of Jewish hatred and killing of Christians in Israel and
all over the Roman Empire (Jews and Gentiles were victims of these pogoms).
Even after the Temple Mount and Jerusalem were destroyed by God, Christians
were blamed, persecuted, and killed because of Pharisee devotion to that
abominable and desolate hill (Mat 23:38). In the endtime, antichrist
Pharisees will once again get control of that Mount and run the Arabs out,
and then after the world wonders after the head that had a wound by the sword
and did live again, and the temple is rebuilt, and the red heifer is sacrificed,
and the Pharisee Talmudist are in power, and they anoint their antichrist
son of David, and the hex (the symbol of 666) is hoisted above all religious
symbols of the world: then death and destruction will begin to reign upon
Christians around the world, orchestrated out of the secret chambers of that
house of horrors again.
And make no mistake, to Jesus and the early
Apostles, this hill and temple became a place and house of doom. And around
67AD the snake throne cult grabbed the Apostle James the half brother of
Jesus Messiah, and threw him down over the 300 foot wall of the temple. His
head was smashed and his royal blood splattered upon the very stones used
today in the wailing wall, killing him instantly. Jesus had ENOUGH of that
house of doom and the blood of the last prophet, his half brother would be
the last before the temple of doom was set on the fire of hell by a Roman
soldier.
That Pharisee killing signaled God in 67
AD to send Titus and his Roman legions storming down upon that place, and
in 70AD fulfilled that prophesied in Matthew 24 by Jesus. God could
have stopped this but he didn't. God could have fought for the Pharisees
but he refused! God could have punished the Romans but nothing ever happened.
This was the divine will and Jews to this day know why God did it,
they just won't confess it. Now God has forsaken that hill forever.
If you go to this city, do no put on one of those snake-throne Synagogue
god-hats. Put on a crown of thorns and curse the city on behalf of the
blood of those slain in it, and cry for the vengeance of God as are those
under the altar in Revelation 6. If the living endtime Prophets will
not cry out, then the voice of the dead shall cry out from beneath the altar
for that silence.
Only Mount Calvary and Mount Zion which are
NOT Mount Moriah, can be a touching point in that bloody city to reach God.
For there on Mount Calvary, the most holy place in all the world, the sacrifice
for sin was offered. And on Mount Zion the foundation stone for the
New Testament Church was laid: there the upper room was located, there Apostle
Peter commanded all Jews to Repent, be Baptized in the name of Jesus Messiah,
and to be filled with the Spirit of God (Acts 2:38), and there the Lord raised
up the true Tabernacle of David (The Church Acts 15:14-17). Mount Moriah
is a nightmare of the past where the snake throne guards the mystery of iniquity
and should God ever go back to that hill, he will have to repent to Sodom
and Gomorrah and other blasphemous cults whom he judged unfit for his presence.
The most sacred hills in Jerusalem are and will for ever be, Mount Calvary
and Mount Zion, and these have nothing to do with Mount Moriah now or
forever.
Although Islam is an enemy of Christianity,
it is far less an enemy than Judaism. Contrary to Rev. Baxter, it will not
be Arabs behind the evil of antichrist, it will be Talmudic Pharisees
masquerading again under a new name, a new religious facade, and a new *mark*
of identity. That these openly claim they are antichrist and their
Talmud says
Christianity is to be destroyed, gives us all the information we need to
know the coming source of Christian persecution, hatred, and killing in the
endtime tribulation.
Rev. Baxter proclaimed that his prophecy
of the Arab antichrist would be the most important prophetic fulfillment
since the crucifixion. Did Rev. Baxter prophesy by the Holy Ghost or
out of his Talmudic Pharisee eschatology? It certainly was not out
of the Holy Spirit! That leaves only one other source for his
inspiration.
Contrary to Rev. Baxter's claims that what
happens to Israel is more important than what happens in the Church, the
most important prophetic fulfillment after the crucifixion was the Israel
of God, the Kingdom of God, the Church that was born on the day of Pentecost,
and then the evangelism of the Gentile world into Christian Judaism. The
events of the tribulation although dramatic and upon Israel, still do not
have a more important place in Prophecy than the endtime Saints and their
overcoming victory during this horrible and dreadful time of a Jewish antichrist
revival.
I contacted Rev. Baxter about his false prophecy
in 1992 and his attitude was one of conceit and aloofness. His America in
prophecy and his Letter To The President (book), are both filled with false
doctrines. The Baxterite followers have eaten his diet of false doctrine
so long now that they are self-blinded to his errors. They are drunk
on the wine of false eschatology of the great whore of Babylon, and defy
anyone to sober them up and question them or challenge Rev. Baxter.
Rev. Baxter was positive God had showed him these things and
would not at all reconsider his error. Six years have passed and either
he or God is a liar. Did the tribulation start in 1993? Did Arafat
materialize as the antichrist in 1997? Did the temple get rebuilt for
Arafat to plop down on a throne 3 1/2 years after Sep 13, 1993 which would
have been on or about Feb 23, 1997? Since Rev. Baxter's prophecy did
not come to pass, does that not make him a false prophet according to Deut
18:22. I ask you to be the judge. Rev. Baxter has not retracted
his false prophecies nor has he repented of any of his Talmudic fornication
he mixes in his brand of prophecy reinterpretation.
Consider the impact of Rev. Baxter's errors:
1.) Souls were deceived God is returning to Pharisee Talmudism and
accepting it as his holy religion; 2.) Souls were deceived that God
will accept animal sacrifices while at the same time Jesus is offering to
the world salvation through the blood shed and the finished work of Calvary
(Baxter has two covenants in force at the same time?); 3.) Souls were
duped to believe God is behind the building of a new Temple and Christians
should pray for it and give money for its cost of building; 4.) Souls
were deceived with Rev. Baxter's constant hammering about the red heifer
and now several Ministers have given up their Churches and are now engaged
in that blasphemy (one just recently ran off with a woman and is in adultery);
5.) Baxter has usurped a position of high priest over Bible Prophecy
among Jesus Name Pentecostals; 6.) He has bewitched thousands with his slippery
*suggestive* hints so that they will not listen to any other Ministers on
Bible Prophecy; 7.) He has fed his devotees a steady diet of antichrist
Talmudic Pharisee eschatology and lies, causing them to become antichrist
in spirit and in doctrine and he promotes the inviting of antichrist Rabbis
right into Churches.
For several years I watched from the sidelines
to see who if anyone among his denomination would rise to the task of reproving
Rev. Baxter for his spiritual fornication with Rabbi Gershom Salomon,
Rabbi Chaim Richman,
and Talmudic Pharisees and none arose. I read in horror Rev. Baxter's
publication of statements by these antichrist denying Jesus was the Messiah,
...and he did not refute them in his own magazine with a single word nor
did anyone in his denomination in their publications?
The truth about Rev. Baxter's deceptions
became a passion of my soul and so in 1995 this book was written and a few
hundred copies made their way into the world. Now, this information
will be on the internet for all 5.5 billion to read and to take warning that
Rev. Baxter is a deceiver and his eschatology along with all and any Jewish
eschatology is FALSE. To my knowledge, nothing he teaches on Bible
Prophecy is that of Jesus or the Apostles. Rev. Baxter's ENDTIME magazine
is not the voice of God. It is the false teachings of Talmudic eschatology
in disguise of Dispensationalism with a Post-Trib slant for the time of the
rapture. I call Rev. Baxter to repent and turn from the antichrist and see
if God will use him to preach the TRUE endtime truth. And if he will
not repent, then he has his reward.
When Is The
Rapture
When is the rapture? From the very moment
that Jesus said he would come again, saints have desired to know when. We
do not know the day Jesus will return, but we do know the sign of his appearing.
This booklet examines two teachings now circulating among many Churches.
I will challenge them and bring open discussion upon the issues. The falsehoods
of dispensationalism can no longer trick us. Many men, full of the Holy Ghost,
can now see through the dispensational hoax. They are taking the bold step
of faith, and returning to a strict adherence to what Jesus taught in Matthew
24, concerning his coming. This automatically leads to a fresh look at Scripture,
and rejection of the false schemes, that the Pre-Trib, Mid-Trib, Pan-Trib,
and Pre-Wrath groups continue to teach. It also gives us fair warning
not to turn to any interpretations by Jewish Rabbis and their antichrist
eschatology.
This booklet fulfills two needs. First, it gives men something to read that
offers points to think about. Second, it challenges Ministers to examine
the falsehoods of dispensationalism, which up to the present has been considered
unimportant to salvation. But this latter is a false doctrine especially
for those alive when the endtimes are upon the world. For then, salvation
will depend upon not being deceived and continuing in the Faith Of Jesus
Messiah. From the very moment Jesus said, "Let
no man deceive you," men have tried to make the words of Jesus
to mean something that he did not say. There is only one coming in Matthew
chapter 24. Jesus said he would not return until
after tribulation. You can take that
promise to the bank. Men will twist and manipulate that with all manner
of lies and trick-talk but the elect will not be deceived by these heresies.
Jesus warned us about them, and when they deny what Jesus said, they
expose themselves as false teachers.
There is only one reason why it is important
for Jews and dispensationalist to teach a false doctrine about the time of
the rapture of the Church. That reason is to validate that the Jews still
have a chance of salvation through the Law and Abraham's Covenant without
need of faith in Jesus Messiah and obedience to Acts 2:38. It is a
way to excuse Jewish hatred against the blood of Jesus Messiah and the Cross,
claiming God still has a Covenant with Talmudic Pharisees that he must honor
and fulfill. This position and doctrine is never mentioned or taught by Jesus
or the Apostles. Their words and the Scriptures are manipulated to
make them say or hint of this new salvation and dual covenant theology.
Jews revile the name, person, and blood of
Jesus. Dispensationalist, by grafting Jewish eschatology to Christian eschatology
have formed an elaborate theory that gives the Talmudic Pharisees a way to
smile and gloat, that God will still have them in spite of their hatred of
Jesus Messiah and Calvary.
But this is not so. The Scriptures
teach: 1.) That old Israel as a nation rejected Christ and his salvation
(Luke 23:18); 2.) The old Covenant of the Law was totally abolished at Calvary
(Rom. 7:4, 2 Cor 3:13, Heb. 8:7); 3.) All Jews must come into the Church
or be damned (Mark 16:16, John 8:24); 4.) The Covenant of Abraham was
confirmed by Messiah to New Testament Christian Judaism (Rom. 15:8, Gal.
3:29); 5.) The Priesthood of Israel is fully abolished and the Priesthood
of Christ replaces it forever (Heb. 7:12-17, 1Pet. 2:5-9).
Dispensationalist, now pushing Jewish eschatology and not the doctrines
of Jesus or the Apostles, are teaching in theory that all five of the
above facts are false doctrines.
Another focus of this book is to force the
snake throne in old Israel out in the open. Jews believe the throne of David
remains among them but they have instead the snake throne of Mystery Babylon.
In their mysticism of Kabbalah this snake throne of the Malkuth is
openly confessed. They deny Jesus the throne of David to establish
their snake throne. The Scriptures teach Jesus did inherit the throne of
David and it stops at Messiah (Acts 2:30). According to the Revelation, satan
will give the beast his seat (snake throne, Rev. 13:2). This Jewish Pharisee
antichrist, in order to fulfill the type of Mystery Babylon, will accept
from satan the snake throne Nimrod accepted. This lofty position was
offered to Jesus and he rejected it (Mat 4:8-10). This antichrist will
palm this snake throne off as the true throne of God like Nimrod. And
like Nimrod he will deceive millions. Babylonian Talmudism is the religion
of the snake throne and in the days of Jesus was the Pharisee sect (harlot)
of apostate Judaism.
Many Christians are keen on the trinitarian
mystery religion of Babylon, but few have examined the snake throne of Babylon
that satan set up there reinforced by the secret Kabbalah behind the trinity
doctrine. Where ever this snake throne sets up, satan rules and creates hatred
against God and his people and sets up the trinity either exoterically or
esoterically. Being filled with all evil, this snake throne contains
the power of satan's kingdom upon earth. This throne came from Babylon to
old Israel before the time of Christ among the Talmudic Pharisees, and emerges
there again in the endtime among the same group. This snake throne is identified
as the beast throne. It will be adversarial to the Kingdom of Messiah, because
the true throne of Messiah is found in the Church. There is war then
between the seed of the woman and the serpent's seed (Gen 3:15). The
tribulation is the final war between the snake throne, old Israel the great
whore of God, and the throne of Jesus Christ within the New Israel of God,
his new Bride the Church. It is indeed unfortunate that Talmudic Jews will
accept the snake (beast) throne, and out of Jerusalem, the final war against
the Kingdom of Messiah, the New Israel of God, the Church, is waged. But
they shall not win! The last and final revolt against God will not
stand.
If the Arafat peace treaty with old Israel was the
"confirm the covenant with many for one
week,@ the scheme of events developed from the predictions
and suggestions of Rev. Irvin Baxter would give us the exact dates of all
the possible raptures, and would set the time frames for what would follow
over the next seven years:
Treaty signed on Sept 13, 1993
Pre-Trib rapture must take place on this date
Seven years of tribulation begins on Sept 13, 1993
1,260 days would end on or about Feb 23, 1997
Arafat would take over the new temple on or about Feb 23, 1997
Mid-Trib rapture must take place on Feb 23, 1997
The end of the tribulation would be on or about Aug 6, 2000
Post-Trib rapture must take place on Aug 6, 2000
The millennial would begin on or about Aug 6, 2000
Using Clarence Larkin's Talmudic dispensational
agenda for the Seals in the first 1,260 days and the Trumpets and vials in
the last 1,260 days, anyone can figure in the judgments and wrath of God
to fall in the first and second halfs of the tribulation period. Did
they happen? Rev. Baxter has tried to make them happen with his
manipulation of world events, like he is trying to self-fulfill his own
prophecies. But they have NOT HAPPENED!
Rev. Baxter applies Jewish eschatology and
dispensational theory of the postponed 70th week of Daniel, to the Covenant
of Arafat with Talmudic Israel that was signed on Monday, September
13,1993. 1,260 Days would commence leading to Arafat and
the Arabs stopping the new blood sacrifices in the middle of the week.
This 1,260 days expired on Feb 23, 1997 and no temple and no Arafat
sitting upon a throne as the antichrist. The Scriptures are still true,
but we have found man to be a liar.
Pre-Trib Prophecy and Predictions
Daniel's 70th Week is
taught falsely by Pre-Tribs, Mid-Tribs, Pan-Tribs, Pre-Wraths and many
Post-Tribs, who are using Talmudic Pharisee eschatology called dispensationalism
as their doctrine (that is the Lord must return upon the Jews before the
final end).
If the Pre-Trib claims that the treaty between
the Catholic Church and old Israel is the
confirm the
covenant with many for one
week, the Pre-Trib scheme
that follows would give us the exact dates of all the possible raptures,
and would set the time frames for what would follow the next seven years.
I will prove this also is a false doctrine
in this material. After reviewing the following evidence, the reader will
see that the dispensational theory of
Daniel's seventieth week being postponed
and the seven years of tribulation that postponed time, is false doctrine
whether it is used and applied by Rev. Baxter or the Pre-Tribs to their heresies.
These false doctrines must be exposed so
that the the true Post-Trib doctrine contained in the teachings of Jesus
concerning his own second coming can be accepted. Until the masses accept
and receive that their is no special Jewish time period left for salvation
by Law-keeping, a new Temple, a new Pharisee priesthood, and revived animal
sacrifices: they will continue to be victims of false prophets who want their
praise and their money. Until the masses full understand that
the Church fully replaced old Israel and is now the New Israel Of God
all the way to the Post-Trib Rapture, they will likely fall for the Baxter's
and other schemes and false doctrines as proposed by dispensationalist.
Dispensationalism is the very doctrine that
Jesus warned would deceive many to accept antichrist. Dispensationalism denies
Jesus Messiah the dignity of the truth of his own predictions, and replaces
his teaching with false Jewish eschatology. That is why Israel and
Talmudic Pharisee eschatology plays the central focus of that heresy. Many
Pre-Tribs, Mid-Tribs, Pan-Tribs, Pre-Wraths, and come Post-Tribs believe
the Rome peace treaty with old Israel, on December 30, 1993, was the man
of sin confirming the covenant. But time has prove it all false.
Pre-Trib dispensationalist believed the great tribulation would start
on that date. Some really worked the congregations on Dec 31, 1993
scaring the people that the Rapture should happen before midnight and the
beginning of 1998. When it did not happen, they have been quite ever
since. If they believe the Rome-Israel peace treaty is the antichrist
making a covenant, then they must admit that Baxter's scheme and evident
time lines nearly correctly depicts the seven years of future prophetic events
of their own, separated only by 108 days.
But the Pre-Tribs have missed their own rapture.
They have missed their mid-trib rapture which was to occur on June
12, 1997. And those who follow Baxter have missed their raptures also
the first on Sept 13, 1993, the mid-trib on Feb 23, 1997. The Pre-Wrath
rapture is scheduled for Oct 15, 1998 and the Post-Trib rapture on August
6, 2000. These should now be looking for a Pre-Wrath rapture,
since the Pre-Trib snatch evidently did not happen before September 13, 1993
and the revealing of Arafat as antichrist in the new rebuilt temple on Feb
23, 1997 did not materialize.
Because the Pre-Trib and Mid-trib
raptures did not occur, many Pre-Tribs have now switched to the Pan-Trib
theory. They now make a joke out of the Lord's Coming, when before they were
so serious about it. Some refuse to even allow anything on Prophecy
preached in the Church. These new Pan-Tribs now take the attitude that
the doctrine of the coming of Christ is to divisive, so they don't care one
way or the other what happens now or who might be deceived. They still expect
a quick secret snatch out though. They say we should seek unity, fun,
and a good time (riot see 2Pet 2:13); like spending some time on the golf
course, going to the amusement parks, watching television, throwing bowling
balls, roller skating, going out to a ball game, or renting a movie. This
is how they plan to stick around to see what pans out.
Most of the Pan-Trib have become bleeding
heart liberals who have lost touch with the message of Messiah about the
end times. They are novices in the Word, but parade around like they have
the knowledge and authority of an Apostle. Most Pan-Tribs are former Pre-Tribs,
who have embarrassed themselves by believing and teaching false predictions
of the rapture that did not come to pass. They now admit by silence that
they are shallow in understanding Bible Prophecy. Because of this,
they are unable and refuse to make a public stand on the teachings of Jesus
Messiah concerning his own second coming for the Israel of God.
Some Pre-Tribs, Mid-Tribs, Pan-Tribs, and
Pre-Wraths, claimed Baxter picked the wrong date and they point to Dec. 30,
1993 as the revealing of the Pope as the antichrist and the start of the
great tribulation from that date. These are placing a lot of hope that the
Pope's alleged visit to Jerusalem in 1997, (three and one half years after
the Dec. 30,1993 treaty between the Vatican and old Israel, and falling on
June 12, 1997), will mark the middle of the latest Pre-Trib, Pan-Trib prediction
of antichrist taking over Jerusalem (the middle of the week).
When Is The Rapture
Part II
