Pre-Trib Trigger Points <\/strong>\u2013 Terry James – https:\/\/terryjamesprophecyline.com\/2024\/05\/12\/pre-trib-trigger-points\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many within the Pre-Trib Rapture belief camp understand that the Rapture is dealt with in Jesus\u2019 Olivet Discourse. My dear friend, the late Dave Hunt, gave an excellent session on the subject, which he was assigned to address at a conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in his uncompromising, straight-ahead way of exposition, Dave changed the title of that session early on the morning of December, 1998, at the Pre-Trib Study Group gathering in Dallas from \u201cIs the Rapture in the Olivet Discourse?\u201d to \u201cThe Rapture Is in the Olivet Discourse.\u201d He told us who were in attendance that he just couldn\u2019t see how the Rapture of the Church was not in that tremendous prophetic teaching the Lord Himself gave as an answer to His disciples\u2019 question: \u201cWhat will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world [age]?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have both the transcript and the audio of that session; they are treasures I pull out every once in a while to bolster my understanding of God\u2019s Holy Word on the profound matters involved in the pre-Trib Rapture of believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus, in the discourse, gave a number of signals that would be prevalent at the time of His return to earth in the Second Coming. Mixed within His description of coming back in the Second Advent was the first phase of that return to the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first things He said to look for were deception and deceivers. He went on to say there would be great upheaval among the populations of earth. There would be, He said, great ethnic strife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further said there would be signs in the sun, moon, and stars. There would be pestilences and an increase of earthquakes in many places, He said; eventually, these terrible things going on would get so frightening that people\u2019s hearts would fail them when they look at what is coming their way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated that the entire world of rebels against God and His order would increasingly come to hate both the disciples\u2014who, of course, were Christians by this time\u2014and the Jewish people. The people with reprobate minds (Romans 1:28) would think to kill both classes of those who are associated with God. For unbelieving Israel, the Jews of the seven-year Tribulation era, persecution by the one who will become Antichrist, the world\u2019s final great dictator, would eventuate in the most terrible time in human history. It would be the same for those, both Jews and Gentiles, who will have accepted Christ for salvation during that horrendous time. Most of these would be martyred\u2014many beheaded\u2014for their belief. For those accepting Antichrist\u2019s satanic mark (Revelation 13:16\u201318), the wrath and judgment of God would be even worse than for the martyred saints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we come to Luke 21:28. Jesus commanded all who are alive when these signals become obvious to do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this great commandment by the Lord Himself to look for these signals of His return in the first phase of His Second Advent\u2013that is, when they begin to come to pass\u2014we must consider whether we\u2019re now witnessing the pre-Trib trigger points to the Rapture of the Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The things we\u2019ve seen \u201ccoming to pass\u201d for quite some time include the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deception in every direction we look. Just the political deception alone is in our faces daily. But the lies coming even from governmental institutions, attempting to change America into anti-God mindset, cannot be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seas of humanity are roaring; there is great ethnic upheaval. Protests are no longer peaceful, but are turning into physical battles, especially among the young on the campuses of higher education. Much of this turmoil is being fomented by the very professors who are supposed to be teaching the young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hatred of the Jews is on the rise as it was in the late 1930s of Nazi Germany, bringing to mind our Lord telling about the hatred that would eventuate. Zechariah\u2019s words (Zechariah chapter 12) are being borne out. Israel and Jerusalem are becoming a \u201ccup of trembling\u201d and a \u201cburdensome stone\u201d for the entire world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, we see the stage being set for Antichrist controls once the Rapture takes the Church to Glory. Artificial intelligence, fused with demonically inspired acumen, will give Satan\u2019s man of sin godlike powers in the eyes of those left behind on earth to suffer under Antichrist\u2019s rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, of course, there is the unmistakable pre-Trib trigger point of looming globalism storming upon the world scene in preparation for that son of perdition. Antichrist will take over when the Restrainer resident within the Christians who are with the Lord in the Rapture no longer holds back evil. Antichrist\u2019s dictatorship is even now in its late stage of development, as the following analysis indicates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planetary Emergency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last couple years, the phrase \u201cplanetary emergency\u201d has become increasingly used by the United Nations and aligned organizations to describe their belief that the planet is passing from various states of crisis to emergencies from which humanity might not return, unless drastic action is taken. We have even seen the release of opinion pieces calling for \u201ca formal declaration of a \u2018planetary emergency\u2019 by the UN General Assembly at the Summit of the Future in September and the activation of an \u2018emergency platform.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The calls for declaration of an emergency have also reached the White House. Last week, Bloomberg reported the Biden administration is considering declaring a climate emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhite House officials have renewed discussions about potentially declaring a national climate emergency, an unprecedented step that could unlock federal powers to stifle oil development,\u201d Bloomberg wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White House spokesperson Angelo Fernandez Hernandez told Bloomberg that Biden \u201chas treated the climate crisis as an emergency since day one.\u201d (\u201cUN 2.0 Coming This Fall\u2014Setting the Stage for Global Government,\u201d Derrick Broze, Activist Post, May 1, 2024)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All we must do is observe the anti-Semitism\u2014the growing, worldwide hatred of Jews\u2014to know we are very late in the final hours of this Age of Grace. I believe that soon Jews in America will become so fearful as to want to move to Israel, where God\u2019s Word says all of Israel will eventually accept their Messiah. Now, of course, that means only the prophesied remnant of Israel will believe and be saved to go into the Millennium under the King of all kings. But the things that are coming against Jews of America at this very moment look to be something that will only grow worse in the prophetic sense. Likely this movement to Israel in total won\u2019t happen until all Christians have gone to be with Christ. Few defenders of Israel will be left once the Rapture happens. And all the pre-Trib trigger points seem to be in place for that to occur very, very soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether Jew or Gentile, here is how to go to the Lord Jesus Christ when He calls all believers to Himself, thus fulfilling His promise of Revelation 3:10:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That if you will confess with your mouth the lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9\u201310) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
