On a pre-trib rapture

The Watchman’s Bible Study

With their parasitic lives revolving around sit-coms, celebrity scandals, the latest sport event and the mall, the vast majority of Americans pay little heed to our nation's impending date with destiny. Refusing to acknowledge the clear warning signs that all is not well, they instead prefer to inoculate themselves against such painful realizations with the narcotic mantras of their marionette leaders; or the altered reality of the spin-doctored mass media. As the band plays on, few notice the slide of our beloved America into the dark night of a police state and the chains of slavery.

Where are the cries against the tyranny of the 'all powerful' federal government and the destruction of the Bill of Rights by executive order from the pulpits that once sang with the hollowed proclamation "Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God"?(Thomas Jefferson) Where is the united voice of the leaders of this Republic declaring "Any people that would give up liberty for a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety."? (Benjamin Franklin) They have been silenced to the tune of “I’ll fly away…” in a secret rapture, or kept busy playing the Manchurian Candidate’s game of the Republican or Democratic fantasy of real elections – all the while mindlessly busy arranging the chairs and furniture on the Titanic.

It is therefore certain that this mindless charge into destruction can only be quelled by a return to the understanding of the prophetic scriptures held by the first and second century Church; a purity of the Word of God unpolluted by the vain traditions of the twentieth century, and a heart felt return to the God of our fathers. Without which we will face the evil of the Anti-Christ in the New World Order powerless, as this battle can not be won by force of arms, but the Spirit of the Living God working along side us confirming the Word with signs and wonders; never by believing some ear tickling pipe-dream of flying away before the tribulation, while blindly following the “trust me” politicians that have sold our birth right.

“And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever.” Thomas Jefferson

“There are some among us teaching there will be no tribulation, that the Christians will be able to escape all this. These are the false teachers that Jesus was warning us to expect in the latter days… I feel I have a divine mandate to go and tell the people of this world that it is possible to be strong in the Lord Jesus Christ. We are in training for the tribulation, but more than sixty percent of the Body of Christ across the world has already entered into the tribulation. There is no way to escape it. We are next.” CORRIE TEN BOOM AND THE ‘RAPTURE’.

On fighting terrorism and the passage of anti- terror legislation:
"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier ...just
as long as I am the dictator."
