Is There a Pre-tribulation Rapture?

Time Text
The Rapture Delayed 00:03:43
This is how it's falling together as I see it.
Now, you see, number one, I do not see a pre-trib rapture.
But we're having a hard time convincing them that it's not pre-trib.
Well, all of the prophetic teachers have been teaching that it's going to happen this month, and it should actually happen today or tomorrow.
But when the rapture doesn't happen today or tomorrow at the last trumpet of the Feast of Trumpets, what's going to go through their mind?
This is what I conjecture.
Okay, the Bible says the sun will go dark, and the moon will not give its light, and at that time we'll see the sign of the Son of Man.
Well, the sun going dark yesterday was a solar eclipse.
NASA only has two solar eclipse showing on their site.
One was in March and one was yesterday.
Solar eclipse yesterday, the sun will go dark.
The moon will not give its light.
That's September 28th.
The fourth blood moon.
So if the rapture doesn't happen by tomorrow, well, I guess we have to wait for the fourth blood moon.
So the fourth blood moon comes on the 28th and no rapture.
Now here's where some people would like to kick it down the road.
They'd say, well, I guess we're going to have to wait another seven years.
But this is what I'm saying.
I believe before September is over, and you know, a lot of people are saying that the economic collapse should start Monday.
The stock market should be just going off the charts, totally collapsing on Monday because that's the end of the Shemitah cycle.
Well, you know, if you study all the Shemitah cycles, the last two Shemitah cycles, an economic drastic correction, happened on the very day.
But if you go back and look at other Shemitah cycles, many of the corrections happen days to weeks after the end of the Shemitah cycle.
We can't put God in a box and say, God, you've got to do it this day.
Just because it was to the exact day for the last two Shemitah cycles, it doesn't always happen on the exact day.
But the prophetic chatter is so loud that an economic collapse is coming this year.
This is how I see the possible setup for the great falling away.
Okay, rapture doesn't happen tomorrow.
The rapture doesn't happen on the fourth blood moon.
But what is happening?
I believe before the end of September, we are going to see the beginnings of an economic collapse that will domino around the world.
And when the Christians that are expecting the rapture see the beginning of an economic collapse that will start spinning out of control, that they're not going to be able to stop it.
They're not going to be able to prop it up.
The pre-trib people are going to have to sit back and say, uh-oh, what happened to the rapture?
And as the months progress between September and the end of the year, I believe we are going to see such a collapse that it is going to go global, that by January, I honestly believe we will be seeing a global solution offered.
A new global currency and a new global one-world government.
And with that starts coming together, you're not going to be able to kick the ball down the road for another seven years.
The Fig Tree's Blossom 00:04:55
And you see, I see this backed up by scripture.
Can I go into this?
Yes, yes, yes.
Well, do you know, a lot of people have talked about a generation from 1948.
And I used to hold to that the 70 years was from 1948.
But last January, God opened my eyes to a little study that I put in my new book called The Mystery of the Fig Tree.
And you see, in Matthew 24, it talks about the budding of the fig tree.
And it says, and then it closes by saying, this generation shall not pass away until the coming of the Son of Man.
Well, 1948, Israel received their own land.
In fact, in Amos, it says, I will bring Israel back, I will plant Israel in their own land, never to be uprooted again.
That's Amos.
I will plant Israel in their own land, never to be uprooted.
You know, the example of the fig tree.
You plant the fig tree in 1948, when Israel was planted in their own land, the enemy immediately tried to pull it out by the roots.
When a tree is planted, it is most susceptible to dying at the first few months that it's planted.
That's when you've got to nurture it and be able to get it to grow and to flourish.
And immediately in 1948, the enemies tried to pull out the fig tree that God had just planted.
But what did he say in Amos?
I will plant Israel in their own land, never to be uprooted again.
And what happened when the enemies attacked Israel in 1948?
They got a nosebleed.
I'll tell you, Israel, with the help of God and miracles that were just unexplainable except by God, they literally not only defended themselves, but they expanded their borders.
And the enemy cried, Uncle, and said, please, will we give up?
You can stay in Israel.
Just quit destroying us.
And in March of 1949, a peace armistice was signed in Israel.
And when it said in Matthew 24 that the fig tree would bud and blossom, put out new leaves, I believe the fulfillment of that verse in Matthew 24 was the signing of the armistice in 1949.
And in 1949, you know, so the people that are saying we can kick it down the road, what they're trying to say, and I don't see a Bible basis to back it up.
What they're trying to say is that Israel didn't control Jerusalem until 1967.
So we got a couple of seven-year Shemitah cycles that if we need room, we could just kick it down the road another seven years.
But you see, Amos did not said, I will plant Israel in Jerusalem.
The Bible does not say that I will bring Israel back to Jerusalem as a fulfillment of prophecy.
It says, I will bring Israel back to their own land, never to be uprooted again.
That was 1948.
Matthew 24 was fulfilled in 1949.
And 70 years from 1949 is 2019.
And I see a collapse coming to the world right now that would literally bring a global solution by early 2016.
I believe we'll see the rise of the Antichrist by maybe even by February, by March of 2016.
And I think one of the first things on his agenda will be to sign a peace in Israel.
And I'll tell you, Israel is on the verge of war.
But here's the point.
When the peace is signed, seven-year peace is signed between the Middle East and Israel, that is what Daniel said would be the beginning of a seven-year, the Daniel's 70th week, that would be broke in the middle.
So three and a half years from March of 2016 is September 2019, That the same time as the feast of trumpets,
