“LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU BY ANY MEANS…” 2Thess. 2:3

Over the last four newsletters I have sought to                           1Cor. 15:51-53
reveal the errors that surround Paul’s teachings
on the rapture. This is a chart which reveals the                            MISAPPLICATION
essence of those errors.                                                    OF REVELATION’S
                                                                         “LAST (7TH) TRUMPET”
God’s intention for the rapture is to impart to God’s
people the vision of “The Blessed Hope” as revealed
in this flowing continuous sentence of Paul which
depicts the fullness of what the Christian life is
supposed to be:

“FOR THE GRACE OF GOD THAT BRINGS        1Thess. 4:15 - 5:10              2Thess. 2:1 -12
SALVATION HAS APPEARED TO ALL MEN,
                                                  OMISSION                MISTRANSLATION
        TEACHING US THAT, DENYING           OF PREREQUISITE:               OF “APOSTASIA”:
UNGODLINESS AND WORLDLY LUSTS, WE      “THE DEAD RISE FIRST”             “THE FALLING AWAY”

  SHOULD LIVE SOBERLY, RIGHTEOUSLY
     AND GODLY IN THIS PRESENT AGE,

 LOOKING FOR THE BLESSED HOPE AND
  GLORIOUS APPEARING OF OUR GREAT
  GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, WHO
GAVE HIMSELF FOR US, THAT HE MIGHT
REDEEM US FROM EVERY LAWLESS DEED

    AND PURIFY FOR HIMSELF HIS OWN
                   SPECIAL PEOPLE,

        ZEALOUS FOR GOOD WORKS.”
                        Titus 2:11-14

I pray that the last four newsletters have brought you understanding in the midst of the confusion that
surrounds the subject of the rapture. If you would like a more in-depth look at this subject then consider
