Judgment from God on the Earth will come

2 False doctrines being taught today

( from “Light Out Of Shadows” by Bill Britton, Church in Action, POB 707, Springfield, MO 65801-0707 )

Certainly there will be judgment on the earth. For during this glorious Day of the Lord, Satan and all his hordes will be raging, having been cast out of the heavens and knowing that his time is short. ALL who are not sealed by God in their foreheads ( REV 7:3, 14:1 ) will suffer the wrath of that awful day. But we are not appointed unto wrath ( 1 Thess 5:9 ), but to obtain full deliverance and salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. And though Satan rages for awhile, he is defeated. And though the nations drink of the cup of the wrath of God, as they certainly deserve, yet in His mercy He shall send them deliverance in the person of His Son, His many membered Son! GLORY TO GOD! The world of men has never dreamed of the glory that shall be manifested in these last days. Right here on this earth. Well, wait and see, if you cannot believe. Or be a part of it, if you can believe for it.

There are several false doctrines which keep men from believing the Truth of what God is doing. One of these … and one of the most widely accepted … though doctrinally weak and scripturally unfounded, is the traditional doctrine of the so-called “rapture”. I teaches that God is going to spend 2,000 years building an army and girding them with a spiritual armor (helmet, breastplate, shield, sword, etc ) and them jerk them suddenly from the field of battle just as the real war of the ages begins. It implies that God’s poor little weak Church is just not able to overcome the Anti-christ, so they must be taken off to get a glorified body and escape the battle. It tells us that God actually did let some of His children be thrown into a fiery furnace, let some be sawn asunder, be fed to the lions, be tortured on the Roman rack, burnt at the stake, and only God knows what all else … but that He is too good to let us easy-living Americans of the last days be on this earth during a time of great trouble and tribulation ( though we are promised the seal of God to protect us).

Another false teaching ( made necessary to bolster up the first one ) is that God is going to train His Church to be good soldiers of Jesus Christ for 20 centuries, opening up New Testament revelation to them and giving them a burden for lost souls and for the evangelization of the billions of the earth … and then at the last minute take the end time church out and give the job of evangelization over to the Jews, who are supposed to all become transformed into great evangelists in 24 hours. And the natural Jews who never knew the truths of the New Testament, who never had the ministry of Apostles and prophets and pastors to perfect them, are supposed to go forth and do what the Church has failed to do in 2000 years. Does this make sense to you?

Of course not! People only believe it because it is tradition, and because they have heard it preached all their lives. The Holy Ghost never gave any such revelation.

Comments: I have for years heard the expression in churches about “getting up a load to go” just before the Great Tribulation hits the earth. I asked several pastors WHY we are doing all this training now, overcoming, etc, just to be taken out when real trouble comes and millions are left to fend for themselves without having trained believers to lead them to Christ. The silence, and the look on their faces, spoke loudly to me about what they believe.

Jeremiah has some interesting comments to say about such pastors and teachers (“prophets”) in LAM 2:14. ( NKJV )

“Your prophets have seen for you False and deceptive visions; They have not uncovered your iniquity, To bring back your captives, But have envisioned for you FALSE PROPHECIES and DELUSIONS”

True and honest believers stand on the WORD of GOD and believe and know without doubt that they are covered by the full armor of God. HE will sustain, feed, and protect each of us supernaturally during today and the hard days that are coming when HIS judgment falls on America and other nations. I want to be here to help those who are lost and who will be terrified at that time of “God’s wrath” upon the nations. I have no desire to go off someplace and not be here to comfort and assist those in bondage, fear and need. The “rapture” is escapism, pure and simple, and a cop-out teaching. The Bible nowhere teaches such nonsense and falsity. Paul Nowlen.
