FAKE NEWS AND FALSE EXPLANATIONS

There can be little doubt that many friends, family members, and neighbors who are still here—and especially media talking heads and social influencers—will suggest that what just transpired was not the rapture of the Church. Indeed, the "rapture" explanation will likely be mocked as too simplistic and primitive.

It is also likely, bearing in mind the scriptural truths conveyed in 2 Thessalonians 2:5–12, that deceptive signs will have occurred simultaneously with or in close proximity to the rapture itself. It is likely that the explanation given for what just transpired will be that a mass alien abduction occurred, or there was a terrible scientific/technological mishap (perhaps an issue with the Large Hadron Collider), or even that God or other supernatural entities destroyed millions of people to save the earth from a climate catastrophe.

All of these explanations are false and it is incumbent upon you to realize this, explaining the truth to your friends and family. The rapture is the real explanation and the only explanation that predicted this pivotal event thousands of years in advance.

Whomever you knew who has disappeared was not abducted or destroyed. To the contrary, they have been safely removed from the world by God—the supreme, self-existent Being—Himself in order to be protected during the subsequent seven-year Tribulation. According to the words of Jesus, the last half of this seven-year period, called the Great Tribulation, will be the worst time in human history (Matthew 24:21).

Any alien-like entities that may show up are not extraterrestrial beings, but are interdimensional—fallen angels and demons sent to deceive the world (2 Thessalonians 2; Revelation 12:3–9). Relics, supposed new manuscript evidence, or other materials may be made public to bolster the great deceptions that will surely follow the rapture of the Church. Social pressure to accept the lie will be absolutely immense, so prepare your mind and heart to believe the truth.

THE TRUTH:

1. Those who believed in Jesus Christ and His physical resurrection, accepting His atoning sacrifice for their sins, have been removed from the earth and are being kept safely in Heaven, in the very presence of God.

2. The seven-year Tribulation has begun or is about to begin.

3. A world ruler, in the Bible called the Antichrist, man of lawlessness, and the beast, will soon arise to deceive many. He will rule the world for a short time.

4. Everyone will be required to received a mark of some sort in their forehead or right hand in order to eat and do commerce.

5. Anyone following this man or receiving his mark will perish forever under the wrath of God.

6. Everyone who refuses the mark, worships God alone, and believes in Jesus will have eternal life and will be assured of a resurrection from the dead at the end of these terrible seven years. They must endure patiently with love and courage, even submitting to death if required.

THE LIES:

1. A mass alien abduction caused the disappearances.

2. A technological, scientific, or industrial accident of any kind caused the disappearances.

3. That God, gods, or other supernatural entities judged and destroyed those that disappeared; to the contrary, those left behind on the earth are actually those facing judgment.

4. That any newly revealed manuscripts, relics, or other material evidence can change the words of the Holy Bible or otherwise disprove or reinterpret the rapture explanation.

HOW THE BIBLE DESCRIBES THE RAPTURE:

We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. So encourage each other with these words.

Now concerning how and when all this will happen, dear brothers and sisters, we don’t really need to write you. For you know quite well that the day of the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night. When people are saying, “Everything is peaceful and secure,” then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape. But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief. (1 Thessalonians 4:15–5:4, NLT)

WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE WHO WERE RAPTURED?

What I am saying, dear brothers and sisters, is that our physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. These dying bodies cannot inherit what will last forever.

But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies. (1 Corinthians 15:50–53, NLT)

WHERE DID THEY GO?

Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. (The words of Jesus as recorded in John 14:1–3, NLT)

Go home, my people,
and lock your doors!
Hide yourselves for a little while
until the Lord’s anger has passed.
Look! The Lord is coming from heaven
to punish the people of the earth for their sins.
(Isaiah 26:20–21, NLT)

Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven [promised to the Church in Revelation 3:8–10], and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. The voice said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.” And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it. The one sitting on the throne [God] was as brilliant as gemstones—like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow. Twenty-four thrones surrounded him, and twenty-four elders sat on them [Leaders of the Church and representative of the Church now dwelling in Heaven]. They were all clothed in white [representing Christ's goodness/righteousness given to them as a gift] and had gold crowns on their heads [representing their victory over the world through faith in Jesus]. (Revelation 4:1–4, NLT)
