“And what of your country and people, little flock? What of this mighty nation? Prepare your hearts, beloved, prepare your hearts for death. For the end of all things is at hand. For the Day of The Lord shall declare it; in the Day of The Lord’s Anger, it shall surely be made plain! Therefore, I have commanded My servant that he not celebrate this holiday[1] with his peers, nor with his community, for he must remain separate. For if he were to join them in their celebration, I tell you the truth, it would be death he celebrates and captivity he honors. For this nation’s independence is lost, its freedom REVOKED!” ~ Says The Lord

REVOKED - Thus Says The Lord Regarding the United States and the 4th of July (Independence Day)

"Thus says The Lord: From the beginning I had written to you by the pen of My prophets, even to the showing of great signs and wonders. Behold, I came down in the flesh, and spoke with My people face to face. And in one day the sins of My people were purged, in one moment the pain of death was overcome. For I am The Lord. I have declared the end from the beginning, I have spoken of things to come, many wondrous and terrible things. I have set up great kings, and I have cast them down. I have called forth armies to conquer, and I Myself have conquered great armies. I have humbled whole nations and scattered their peoples, and behold, I have also brought them back again. For I am The Lord, and there is no other; there is none like Me.

And thus I speak to you now, little flock, even as I have spoken it to My servant already: All of you have stumbled. Yet some of you have departed, returning to the world and the ways of men... A world which hates Me and blasphemes My name at every turn, a world which pollutes My name without ceasing, a world which loathes its Creator! A world which loves abomination and from righteousness is far removed, a great multitude of dying people who hate LIFE! A world which destroys MY EARTH AND MY CHILDREN, a most wicked generation who MURDERS WITHOUT REMORSE!... A world which even now breathes its last... Beloved, I weep! My heart is rent inside Me! And what of your country and people, little flock? What of this mighty nation? Prepare your hearts, beloved, prepare your hearts for death. For the end of all things is at hand. For the Day of The Lord shall declare it; in the Day of The Lord’s Anger, it shall surely be made plain! Therefore, I have commanded My servant that he not celebrate this holiday[1] with his peers, nor with his community, for he must remain separate. For if he were to join them in their celebration, I tell you the truth, it would be death he celebrates and captivity he honors. For this nation’s independence is lost, its freedom REVOKED!

Beloved, your nation has come to its end; I give it over!  No more shall I defend its people  And protect its borders!...

For they have utterly forsaken Me,  And now must I also forsake them!...

Therefore cry bitter tears, little flock,  And weep, be overcome with sorrow,  For the end of a nation is a terrible thing...

It is wrought with much betrayal  And falls with a mighty crash,  Bringing forth death and great mourning;  The sound of which shall shake every land  And every people, and they too shall fall!

Yet from ruin they shall arise and band together. And in desperation, they shall make a covenant and sign an agreement. And once again they shall blaspheme the name of The Lord Most High, and walk proudly. Thus upon the heels of desolation shall their final destruction be written, in the blood of the slain.

Thus I shall send forth My witnesses, 144,000! They shall run as one mighty in battle, breaking through the lines, tearing down the walls, leaping over every barrier! From city to city they shall declare The Lord’s Rebuke, pronouncing My judgment upon the multitudes!

And thus shall I bring great calamity  Upon the cities and high places of men, Until My wrath is satisfied  And My fierce anger has abated...

Until the feet of The Holy One of Israel  Stand upon the Mount, bringing forth  Judgment unto victory absolute...

I AM THE LORD."

A Testament Against The World: THE LORD'S REBUKE

Can People Be Saved After the Resurrection & the Rapture?

By Bible Researcher Eli Kittim 🎓

The pretribulational view teaches that there will be many who will be saved during the great tribulation, AFTER the Resurrection & the Rapture take place (cf. 1 Thess. 4.16-17). Is this possible, or does it contradict scripture? Just like the parable of the 10 virgins suggests, when the doors of salvation are finally slammed shut, no one else could be saved. It’s all over. No one can go in or out. The rapture is that end point. Once the church leaves, it’s game over! And even if the tribulation saints could be saved, where would they go? How would they be *rescued* by God, given that the rapture was that final ticket out of here?

Let’s not forget that there are certain contemporaneous events that have to occur during the resurrection and the rapture, just prior to the departure of the church. For instance, scripture affirms that Christ will radically transform God’s elect so that they will resemble his glorious appearance (Phil. 3.21). What is more, 1 Cor. 15.52-53 reveals that the elect will attain a glorious immortality, during the resurrection/rapture process, so that they will never ever die again! That’s when Christ will finally grant God’s elect his “exceeding great and precious promises” so that they can become “partakers of the divine nature” (2 Pet. 1.4), what Eastern Orthodox theology calls "theosis." But these divinely transformative events can only occur *once for all* during the resurrection & the rapture. So the question arises, if these momentous events take place once for all, and the elect eventually partake of the divine nature and are raptured out of here, how then can these glorious transformations reoccur over and over again in the absence of Christ, the Spirit, and the Church?

This demonstrates the fallacy of pretribulationism because it falsely maintains that people will continue to be saved even after the resurrection and the rapture. Really? And even if they could be saved, where would they go? The church has already left. How would they be rescued after the church has permanently left? Once again, it shows that pretribulationism is based on fallacious reasoning!

And how could the tribulation saints escape God’s wrath? If they die, how would they be resurrected again, given that the one and only resurrection of the dead already happened? Remember that there’s only one general resurrection of the dead in which both the saved and the damned will be raised together (Daniel 12.2). So, if the rapture already took place and the tribulation saints can no longer be resurrected, how could they escape God’s judgments? How would God rescue them? They would simply be forced to stay here on earth in the midst of unbridled terror? Would God allow his precious elect to remain here on earth during the zombie apocalypse, while his wrath was being poured out in judgment, and while all the rest of the elect were enjoying heavenly bliss?

So, if the tribulation saints could neither be resurrected nor raptured, what would be God’s rescue plan for them? In other words, *after* the resurrection & the rapture had taken place, what could the tribulation saints do here on earth? Would their task be to ride out the storm of God’s wrath during the day of the Lord? It’s reminiscent of Jean-Paul Sartre’s play, “No Exit.” It demonstrates the faulty reasoning and unscriptural position of the pretrib rapture view!

Conclusion

Mt. 24.29-31 says that the “gathering” of the Son of Man’s elect (i.e. ‘the rapture’) occurs AFTER the Great Tribulation (Gk. *μετὰ* τὴν θλῖψιν τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων). The clincher, the passage that settles the matter conclusively is Rev. 20.4-6. This passage tells us that those who were killed during the Great Tribulation took part in the first resurrection. However, given that the rapture is contemporaneous with the first resurrection (1 Thess. 4.16-17), and since those who took part in the first resurrection came out of the Great Tribulation, it means that the rapture must also take place *AFTER* the great tribulation. Hence, if this is the first resurrection that takes place AFTER the great tribulation, then there can’t possibly be an earlier one, as the pretrib doctrine assumes. Any way you look at it, the pretrib position doesn’t make any scriptural sense at all.

The reason people will continue to be saved during the great ordeal is because the *rapture* will take place at the *end* of the tribulation period, so that all God's elect will leave together as one church. Once the resurrection & the rapture take place (posttrib), it’s game over. No one else can be saved, or be resurrected, or go to heaven! Once again, these robust and cogent arguments prove that the pretrib position is completely bogus and misinformed.

“Behold, Sodom and Gomorrah[1] are revived and  Thrive before your face,[2] yet you stand up in  Agreement and clap your hands!...

Sin and violence spread forth in every direction,  Overflowing your nation as a flood, yet you remain  Unmoved, having no regard for your neighbor!...[3]

Therefore, you have hastened the Day!...

You have surely aroused Me to anger!” ~ Says The Lord

“…Therefore trust these I have sent and am sending, for they are My witnesses; they hear My voice and prepare My way before Me. For My judgments shall fall from Heaven, upon every tribe, tongue, people and nation; My punishments shall rain down hard upon the earth and break the pride of man! Behold, I shall remove all from their places; in My fierce anger I shall drive them out! The cities shall be laid waste and the houses shall be left desolate, for the earth shall become one vast desolation!

Yet there is sanctuary from this storm,  A way of escape has been provided; For He is called Jesus and Christ; YahuShua[8] HaMashiach is His name!...

Call upon Him, do not wait!...

Call upon His name in sincerity and in truth,  And you shall surely be delivered...

Says The Lord.”
