The Church and the Mark of the Beast

1.  We know that the dead in Christ are to be raised at the 1st resurrection.  I Thess 4:16

2.  Then we which are alive and remain will also be caught up in the 1st resurrection.  I Cor. 15:51

3.  The rest of the dead live not again until the 2nd resurrection.  Rev 20:5

4.  Those who take part in the 1st resurrection will rule and reign with Jesus for 1,000 years in the city of Jerusalem in Israel.  I Thess 4:17

5.  We have been falsely taught that we will not be here during the Wrath of God, or Jacob's trouble, but will float away on flowery beds of ease in a pre-tribulation rapture.

6.  Falsely taught:  The Mark of the Beast and the Anti-Christ reign will be AFTER the Church has been caught up in the 1st resurrection, according to modern church teaching call a pre-tribulation rapture.

7.  Unfortunately the Word says that the martyred during the Mark of the Beast will take part in the 1st resurrection (Rapture).  Rev 20:4

8. Fact is the Church will be here during the reign of the Anti-Christ and the Mark of the Beast and will not be caught up until the 1st resurrection which is when Jesus comes back to rescue natural Israel from total destruction.  Matt 24:22

9.  The modern church is ill- prepared to face persecution because of the false teaching of the pre-wrath rapture doctrine.

10.  The pulpit has failed in their job to prepare us to face hard times, by teaching the prosperity doctrine of building men's kingdoms and the "Rapture".  When hard times do come will He find faith on the earth?  2  Thess 2:3, Luke 18:8
