Sermon #068 - 1 Thessalonians Ch 5 - The timing of the RAPTURE is now crystal clear...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams with Abundance.Church.
And this is one you've been waiting for because today we answer the question of the rapture.
And we have the answer of the timing of the rapture.
And we have this, interestingly, from Paul's letters, which is incredibly fascinating because it shows that Paul has knowledge of the end times events that are described in Revelation and Also in Matthew 24 that we've covered in previous sermons.
Now, in order to understand this, though, and we're going to cover 1 Corinthians 15 now, chapter 15, in new context, understanding what we've covered in the last...
Maybe eight or nine sermons.
Because now we have a very clear picture of how the world ends and what happens to those who are faithful to Christ when the world does end.
And it's very clear now that the seven trumpets, the seven seals, and the description in Matthew chapter 24...
And also the great battle of Armageddon that's described in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39.
They all refer to the same series of comet impact events, especially impact number six, which strikes the Middle East, and that's what wipes out most of Israel and Israel's enemies in the Middle East, plus the river Euphrates at the same time.
And we know that these impacts take out human civilization and that the seventh trumpet, which is the extinction-level event, ends all human life on Earth.
We also know that the so-called return of Christ out of the sky on a white horse is not actually Jesus on a horse.
It's a comet, and this comet is what defeats evil.
So it's not even that Christ comes back to Earth to defeat evil, but rather God sends a comet that has a name that refers to God.
That actually strikes the earth and ends all evil, destroys wickedness across the planet, and then people are resurrected in their souls in order to join God and Christ in the heavenly dimension, which is referred to as the new heaven, while the new earth is also described because that's what's left after the total destruction of the old earth, the wicked earth in which we live right now.
But what's fascinating to me about all of this is that then John describes this, and of course I didn't recognize this the first time I was reading 1 Corinthians, but now that we know what we know about Revelation and Matthew 24, then we can read 1 Corinthians chapter 15, and let's see, let's go to verse, we'll start with 46.
And check this out. This is what Paul is saying to the Corinthians, and it shows you that Paul has knowledge of the end of days.
Obviously, he must have received this information directly or indirectly from Jesus himself.
And even Jesus said, of course, he did not know the day or the hour.
Only God knows that.
But Jesus knew what was coming because he described it As recorded in Matthew.
So here we go. Verse 46.
Again, this is Paul. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural and afterward the spiritual.
The first man was of the earth made of dust.
The second man is the Lord from heaven.
As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust.
And as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are heavenly.
Now, why does this matter?
Because he's saying that man exists in two different realms.
There is the earthly realm, which I call the simulation.
It's the realm of dust and physical matter, 3D space, you know, the stuff that you can touch, the table of elements.
Matter, all that stuff.
And then there's the heavenly realm of man.
That's the realm where we go to, if we are worthy, if we're judge-worthy in the book of life, after the final trumpet sounds, by the way.
And he even says that, as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are heavenly.
He's saying that you have to be heavenly and In character, in order to join in the heavenly realm.
He's implying that here.
That's verse 48. And then verse 49 says, So in other words, we've lived in the body, the physical body.
And after this, we're going to graduate and live in the spirit body with God.
That's what that means.
And then, verse 50, this is where it gets really interesting.
This is where it has everything to do with the book of Revelation and the trumpets and everything else.
Here it is. Verse 50.
Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
Okay? So, you can't go to heaven in your physical body.
Right? Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
This tells you right away, there's no rapture where your physical body floats up into the sky and then you join heaven in your body and you walk around in heaven in your body.
Your body's gone.
You are in spirit.
You have the spirit body.
Because remember, this is all a simulation.
This is a testing ground created by God.
Your physical body is no longer needed.
It is obsolete. Paul even says, the flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
So, I've heard a lot of people say, well, no, Christ returns, and then there's the kingdom of heaven on earth for a thousand years.
No, you can't inherit the kingdom of God in this body.
It doesn't happen on earth.
It happens in heaven, which is a different dimension.
Totally different dimension.
We covered that in a previous sermon.
Anyway, continuing, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
You know, just the morality factor.
If you have a corrupt soul, you can't just automatically be elevated and saved by God to be a non-corrupt person.
You actually have to earn it, it turns out.
Verse 51. Behold, I tell you a mystery.
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
Oh. See?
See what he's saying? We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.
And I think that he means transformed.
We shall all be transformed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
Now, we know the last trumpet is the seventh trumpet, and this is the seventh great impact on planet Earth.
This is the trumpet that wipes out all humankind on Earth, ends every nation, every civilization.
It ends the whole planet in terms of life.
It melts Earth's crust and it flattens the mountains and so on, okay?
So in the twinkling of an eye, because the speed of these impacts is so fast, it will just happen in an instant.
You won't even probably hear it because they're going to be moving faster than the speed of sound, by the way.
There's going to be a giant fire in the sky, then you're physically dead, but you're transformed.
So when he says, we shall all be changed in a moment, what does it mean?
We're all transformed into the soul world instantly.
Your body's toast.
Your body's vaporized.
Your body's turned into dust, okay?
Back to dust, which is mentioned in the previous verses.
You know, the first man was made of earth, made of dust.
You're going to go back to dust, right?
But your soul is what is resurrected.
Your soul is what is raptured.
And he even explains this, continuing, Well, let me just read that.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
So what is he saying? That even the worthy ones who died previously shall be changed, i.e.
transformed and brought to the heavenly realm.
In other words, this is...
This is a much better description of the rapture than the way a lot of people describe it.
This is saying that at the end of the seventh trumpet, not only is everybody killed, but the previously dead and the recently dead, if they are morally good people, i.e.
incorruptible, then they shall be changed and transformed and they will rise to heaven.
But he said earlier that Nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
In other words, if you have a corrupted soul, you don't get to be incorrupted.
You didn't earn it. You don't get to be resurrected and join Jesus and God in heaven.
I suppose you're just thrown into perdition, which is, I mean, the earth is opening up at this point anyway, so it's a giant lake of fiery lava that your dust body is thrown into.
Verse 53, for this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
You see what he's saying?
This mortal must put on immortality.
It's as clear as day.
He's saying that your mortal body is transformed into the immortal soul.
He's not saying that your mortal body is going to live forever, that you're now bulletproof and cometproof, and you're going to have your physical body.
No, your physical body's gone.
You're going to put on immortality.
And then verse 54, so when this corruptible has put on incorruption, that is, when a person is saved by...
Morally asking for forgiveness, repenting against their sins, and living a life in alignment with God's teachings.
And this mortal has put on immortality, which again means your physical body has been vaporized, you're transformed into your soul.
Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, death is swallowed up in victory.
You see? Death is swallowed up in victory.
You die.
We all die.
But the death is overshadowed by the great victory, the spiritual victory, the victory of rising up to join God and Jesus in the heavenly realm, which is a completely different dimension where there isn't even 3D bodies and physical space like this.
And it's also shaped like a A giant glowing crystal cube.
We covered that. It's literally described as a cube, which I find interesting because that's a form of sacred geometry.
But death is swallowed up in victory.
So in other words, the death becomes inconsequential.
It's just the death of the physical simulation.
Your victory is your soul's victory.
Okay? And then there's even a little couple lines of Poetry here.
Verse 55. Oh, death, where is your sting?
Oh, Hades, where is your victory?
It's kind of like mocking Hades and mocking the idea that death is some kind of, you know, victory over you.
It's like, hey, yeah, we died and we transformed and the death wasn't that big of a deal after all, was it?
Verse 56. The sting of death is sin.
See, the sting of death is sin.
If you die as a sinful person, then it sucks, because then you are not saved, you are not raptured, you are not resurrected.
Now you're stuck, forever separated from the Lord, separated from heaven.
And that's hell. Eternal separation is hell.
comma, and the strength of sin is the law. The strength of sin is the law. In other words,
he's saying this is God's law that sin, if you live a life of sin, then it is a rule, it is a law
that you are not qualified to enter heaven. Then verse 57, but thanks be to God who gives us the
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. So because Christ died on the cross,
Christ demonstrated the transformation from the body of dust to the body of the Spirit
through his resurrection and through his burden of carrying and washing away the sins of humankind.
As a result, you don't have to be a perfect person because Christ died for your sins.
So you actually can be resurrected.
And I don't know what the dividing line is on this.
I wish I knew. I don't know.
I've often thought that if you've done horrible, horrible things in your life, that maybe you never get into heaven.
Or maybe you can earn it back.
Maybe there's a statute of limitations of like 20 years.
I have no idea.
I don't know. But since we don't know, just be a good person as much as you can from this day forward.
Repent for your sins and try to treat people with dignity and try to save lives.
Try to be a good person.
I shouldn't even say try.
Be a good person.
Be a good person.
It is what is commanded of you by God and give thanks to God and give thanks to Christ for creating this opportunity for your eternal life.
Transformation. You are not going to live in your current body for very long.
Even if the seventh trumpet doesn't happen in your lifetime, your lifetime is still very short.
My lifetime is short relative to cosmic events and all of time.
But no matter when we die, we are resurrected, if we are worthy, in the soul form.
Okay? So, and this is what Paul says in verse 58.
He says, therefore my beloved brethren be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in
the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Right.
You know why your labor is not in vain?
Because it counts after the seventh trumpet.
That's when it counts. That's when the judgment counts.
Your book of life is open and read and reviewed, and remember that the angels of heaven are pretty good border patrol.
They have good border control systems.
They only let worthy people in.
And how are you judged?
It's by your actions.
And so you need to stack your book with really good things.
You know? I mean, if you want to think about this economically, it's like, yeah, you want to have the VIP backstage pass with God in heaven.
You want the good seats, you know?
So do good deeds.
Be a good person. And the angels will welcome you in.
And you don't even have to be perfect, by the way.
Because Christ gave you that buffer.
Christ died for your sins.
How many of your sins? I'm not sure.
Try not to make it very many.
Clean up your life, folks.
Be a good person.
And don't rely on Jesus to cover you, you know?
Because we don't know how much he's covered exactly.
But what's really compelling about this from 1 Corinthians here, Paul, the apostle, writing to the congregation, what's really compelling is when he mentions the trumpets.
And so let me just read that verse for you again.
It starts in verse 52.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet...
Well, before that, he said, we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
And then death is swallowed up in victory.
Yeah? See?
He's talking about the trumpet.
He even says the last trumpet.
We know the last trumpet.
That's the seventh trumpet. That's the seventh comet.
That's the comet that obliterates the entire planet and kills all remaining living people.
So that passage clearly reveals that there is a rapture.
It's a rapture of the soul.
And that this rapture occurs when?
It occurs after or at the seventh trumpet.
The seventh trumpet is the end of the tribulation.
So, previously, before I was teaching all of this, I had no idea.
First of all, I didn't even believe in the concept of the rapture as it was being described to me by a lot of Christians.
It seemed like they were just making it up.
So, yeah, we all just float up into the sky.
And, oh, when does it happen?
Oh, it's pre-tribulation.
Why? Because we think it is.
And... And this was being used by a lot of Christians to say, we don't need to prepare.
We don't need to have stored food.
We don't need to do much of anything.
Jesus is going to save us.
We're going to float up into the sky altogether.
He's going to take us out of this hellhole before anything bad happens.
And I always thought that was kind of a spiritual laziness, actually.
Yeah, I know. Maybe that sounds harsh.
So what? I thought that was a spiritual laziness.
It's like, that's a pretty convenient belief that you're not going to have to go through any of these difficult times.
You think Jesus is just going to bring you out of this.
What if you're wrong about the timing?
What if it's actually mid-trib and you're going to have to endure maybe three and a half years?
Turns out it's post-trip.
It's like, oh no, it's the worst case.
You're going to have to live through all the impacts or be killed by them, and then you're raptured.
But hey, let's go to, how about this, let's go to 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, which is another section that a lot of Christians quote to talk about the rapture.
And let's see what it says.
Does it agree with what we just read in 1 Corinthians about the rapture?
The rapture being post-tribulation?
I don't know. Let's find out together, okay?
So let's go to 1 Thessalonians 4, and then we'll skip ahead to verse 13.
This is also Paul, of course, writing.
So remember, Paul has this knowledge of what's going to happen.
Obviously, somebody told him about the revelation.
Could that be, you know, how did he get that information?
Well, maybe that's another topic. Somebody emailed him, I think.
But verse 13. But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, i.e., like those who died before us, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again...
Which is the transformation from dust to spirit, right?
If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, God will bring with him those who sleep in Jesus.
There it is. It's right there.
God will also bring with him or to him those who died but were followers of Jesus.
So as Jesus made the transformation from dust to spirit, Mankind can also make the same transformation if they are followers of Jesus.
And then, verse 15.
Here's the big clue, okay?
You're going to go, no, that's amazing!
Verse 15. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord...
We'll by no means precede those who are asleep.
Okay, so in other words, for those of us who live all the way through the tribulation, we're surviving until the last trumpet.
It says, we will by no means precede those who are asleep.
We're not going to go first, in other words.
Verse 16, For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.
Oh! Oh! See?
You see what he's talking about here?
So, what's he talking about?
He's talking about the comet that is described in Revelation 19, which has a name on it.
First of all, this comet is called the Word of God.
And the name that's on the thigh of this comet is, quote, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
And remember, this comet, here it says, Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse.
And he who sat on him was called Faithful and True.
And in righteousness he judges and makes war.
This is the comet of judgment against the wickedness of earth, the wickedness of human civilization.
And I'm reading from Revelation 19.
His eyes were like a flame of fire, because it's a comet.
It's on fire. And on his head were many crowns.
We talked about the crowns, the cryovolcanic ejections out of the comets.
He had a name written that no one knew except himself.
It goes on. Out of his mouth goes a sharp sword.
With it, he should strike the nations.
You know, these are the The ejections out of the comets and all of the comet fragments are also referred to as white horses.
The armies in heaven following him on white horses.
What are the armies in heaven? It's a bunch of rocks falling out of the sky that are on fire, is what that is.
Armies of heaven. And then he himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
And we talked about the winepress.
This is the region near, well, involving part of Israel and part of Lebanon.
And we talked about that, what the winepress represents, and the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
This is the comet impact that strikes the Middle East.
We believe this is actually the sixth comet, but the sixth and seventh, sometimes they blend a little bit.
It looks to me like the sixth comet hits the Middle East and then there's a seventh trumpet that ends everything.
But All of these comets descend from heaven, in other words, from the sky, and all of them are sent by the Lord.
They're all sent by the Lord as wrath and vengeance against the wickedness of humankind.
So now if we go back to then 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, Let's read again verse 16.
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout.
Why a shout? Because of the boom.
Remember, all the trumpets have the booms with them.
This is the loud shockwave sound of the comets entering Earth's atmosphere.
They always have a boom or a shout or a trumpet.
And it even says, comma, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God.
What's the trumpet of God?
That's what we're talking about. The loud booming sounds of the comets.
And it says, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
So the dead, like the souls of the dead will be saved first.
They will ascend. And then verse 17 says, then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
This is the verse that a lot of Christians cite to talk about the rapture being somehow a pre-tribulation rapture.
But the timing's all wrong.
This is after the trumpets.
Even in this book, even in 1 Thessalonians, it's after the trumpets.
And it even says, then we who are alive and remain.
Why does it say, and remain?
Because most human beings have been wiped out by the sixth comet.
Almost all humans are dead. Almost all of Israel is destroyed. Very few survivors.
That's why it's talking about those of us who are alive and remain. There's not that many. It's kind of the remnant of
humankind that are still able to exist.
And again, most of the population of earth is gone.
Every nation is gone. Every mountain has been shaken.
Every wall has fallen. The cities are gone.
Infrastructure is gone. There's no modern civilization at this point.
So again, it says, then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
What is he talking about?
He's talking about the final impact wiping out everybody else, killing every human, and causing the transformation.
And if you go to Revelation chapter 20, it talks about this very clearly.
The first verse, then I saw an angel coming down from heaven.
This is the comet having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
What's the key to the bottomless pit?
It's opening up the earth and revealing the bottomless pit, revealing a great fracture of the planet.
He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and he cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal on him, and so on.
This is the comet defeats Satan.
It defeats evil.
It defeats wickedness.
And then later on in that chapter, Verse 11, this is judgment, and this is essentially the uplifting of those who are qualified into heaven.
Verse 11, that I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them.
In other words, we're talking about a different dimension here.
Not the earth as you know it.
Verse 12, And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and the books were opened.
All right, so all the people who have ever died are now standing in judgment before God.
And another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged according to their works by the things which were written in the books.
What's written in the books?
It's a log file of everything you've ever done.
Yeah, including...
Those crazy wild parties that you went to when you were 17.
Okay. Or maybe that's just me.
I don't know. Actually, I did not go to too many crazy wild parties because I was so nerdy in high school.
I wasn't invited so much.
And we weren't even that crazy back then in the 1980s compared to today.
But whatever. We didn't have ditty parties, that's for sure.
We had, like, backyard croquet parties.
It was very nerdy stuff.
In any case, maybe you went to some crazy wild parties.
It's in the book. You know, it's in your book of life.
But don't worry, you don't have to be perfect.
And the dead were judged according to their works by the things which were written in the books.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them.
And they were judged, each one according to his works.
Got it? So what's interesting about this is that it shows that for a time after people die, they may be in a kind of purgatory until God is finished with earth, and then they are all judged and they are all lifted at that time.
It says, then death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire.
The lake of fire is the giant opening of earth down to the magma core caused by the seventh impact.
And it even says here, this is the second death, and anyone not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
So, if you don't have a book of life, if your book is really bad, you end up in the pit with the beast and the devil and the sorcerers and the antichrist.
So, good idea to have a good book.
You need some recommendations from God in your book.
Alright, so then, if we go back to 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, let me just read these last few verses for you again.
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.
This is the comet impact that ends it.
It ends all life on earth.
And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
Now, do they really mean the air?
No. They mean in the heavenly dimension.
But maybe Paul didn't.
He didn't have the words to really describe that.
So he's describing it as best he can.
It's in the air. It's up there somewhere.
It's He couldn't really say, like, it's string theory, M-theory, wormholes into alternate dimensions.
He's like, it's in the air.
It's up in the clouds somewhere.
It's up there. You know?
He's doing the best he can.
Give him credit, right? But we're going to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.
And that is...
What is referred to then, let's see, in Revelation chapter 21, the new heaven and the new earth and the new Jerusalem and so on.
You are with God forever.
And you get to see the river of life.
That's in Revelation verse 22.
You're with God and the Lamb, with God and Christ, and this is the end of the simulation, okay?
You've made it through your life on earth.
You're no longer made of dust and carbon.
You've even survived the war on carbon being waged by satanic forces that are the climate cultists in our world today.
And now you've joined with God and Christ in the heavenly dimension.
You know, mission accomplished.
You did it. You won.
You won the game. I mean, if you call it a game, it's actually a test, okay?
So you won the game. And then verse 18 here says, therefore comfort one another with these words.
All right. So, conclusion.
1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians chapter 15, starting with verse 52, both refer to The trumpet and then the raising up, the transformation of the dead and the raising up of those who are worthy.
They both refer to the trumpet and the heavenly shout, the voice of an archangel, and something from the Lord descending from heaven.
So it's crystal clear.
Yes, there is a rapture.
The rapture is the raising of the souls of those who are worthy.
The rapture happens after everybody dies, and everybody who hasn't died by the time the seventh trumpet arrives is killed by the seventh trumpet, which is at the end of the tribulation.
Thus, the rapture is real, and it's post-tribulation.
So, there you go.
That's how it all fits together.
Now, I want to reiterate that Christ does not come back to earth in any of this.
A lot of Christians misread this and they think Christ is coming back and there's going to be a new heaven on earth.
Nope. There's going to be heaven in heaven.
There's going to be a new earth without us.
The post-comet Earth.
Yeah, that's all.
That's a totally new planet there.
Everything is reset.
Jesus does not come back to Earth.
God sends comets to destroy the Earth and destroy evil and destroy all bodies.
And then those who are worthy join God and Jesus in heaven.
That's what happens.
So, kind of forces you to rethink if you've been taught...
You know, the typical stories in Bible school or from more mainstream churches or pastors, you've no doubt never been told these things.
So I encourage you to read the Scripture yourself.
Don't take my word for it, although I'm giving you chapter and verse here.
But read the Scripture yourself and notice the trumpets.
Notice the signs of the comets.
It's a trumpet.
It's an angel from heaven.
It's a loud voice.
It's often a bright, shining thing.
Sometimes it's pillars of fire.
Sometimes it's swords and things coming out of the mouths.
These are all comets.
And as we saw in Revelation 19, although many people believe that it's Christ coming on a white horse, there's nothing in that section that refers to Christ on a horse at all.
I mean, it's not Christ. It's a comet.
And it's a bunch of comet fragments.
Those are the armies in heaven.
And it's given the name of King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Now I know, some of you might say, well, King refers to Christ.
Yeah, but this is the King of Kings.
This is the King of Christ.
Who's the King of Christ?
It's the Lord of Lords.
It's the Lord. This is the comet from the Lord with a name tag on it.
You know, just in case anybody was wondering, like, a little gift from God, delivery, coming
out of the sky at 50,000 meters per second to judge humanity for all of her sins.
All right, so what's the practical takeaway from this?
If we know that, yes, there is a rapture, but it occurs at the end of the tribulation,
and I mean, number one, the first priority is, of course, earn your place in heaven through
good deeds and things we've talked about.
Secondly, if the trumpets were to start occurring during your lifetime, you look up and there's
like six or seven bright stars that don't belong there, and they seem to be getting
bigger by the day.
Like, hey, that's interesting.
And then there's a first impact somewhere on Earth.
You're like, whoa, that was trumpet number one.
Then you need to make a decision.
Do you want to prepare to try to survive the trumpets?
As we know, the seventh trumpet is a total killer.
The good news is it'll probably be painless for most people because it'll be so rapid.
But, you know, what's your plan here, you know, for the tribulation period?
It's got to be hell on earth, that's for sure.
But maybe that would be a time to try to bring a lot of people to Christ.
You know, if you really want to save souls, there's the time to do it.
First impact happens, and people start reading Revelation.
Maybe watching my videos and sermons because I'm going to be documenting this in a lot more detail.
Maybe we could save a lot more souls during that time.
That would be cool, right? Imagine comets raining down and you and I are running mission programs trying to teach people the Word of God in the last few years as there's global famine happening.
Nations are falling and everything.
That might actually be a good time to teach the Word of God because people would be open to it given that mankind's systems aren't working.
Everything's failing around them.
You know, all the systems they thought were going to save them, like the science, that's not working.
You know, the internet, not working.
People's Bitcoin, you know, not working.
The government didn't save you.
No, there's only one path to being saved, and that would be an incredible time, an incredible opportunity to do that.
So imagine if this happens in our lifetime.
How amazing it would be to be on a mission from God to save souls as the seven trumpets are slamming into the planet.
Talk about being behind enemy lines.
You're like, you're in Satan's territory dodging meteors and working to bring people to Christ.
Wouldn't that be a really sacred mission to take on?
You know, just do it!
It's like, whatever, we can dodge meteors and we'll bring people to Christ, especially since they can't deny the book of Revelation at this point because, well, the trumpets are here.
The bowls have been poured out upon all the various targets, you know?
It wouldn't be very difficult to convince people at that point, perhaps.
But since there would probably be no electricity functioning and no nations functioning, you'd have to have You know, the physical Bible, you'd have to have a book, you'd have to have something that you could show people, I don't know, something on paper, or something that would survive the collapse of civilization as we know it.
So that would be interesting to think about.
Could there be some kind of, like, I don't know, ruggedized, waterproof, printed paper presentation in a bulletproof Kevlar binder that you can show people?
It's like, okay, let me walk you through it.
Here's the seven trumpets. You know, here's the seven bulls.
Here's the seals. Here's Matthew 24.
Let's walk you through it. And you get through all that.
People are like, oh, you mean I should be a good person and try to earn my way into heaven?
Yes, that's what I'm trying to say.
That's exactly it.
Because time is growing short.
But if you think about it, shouldn't that be the message anyway?
I mean... Because any of us might die on any given day, and if you're dead, you can't then do more good deeds to fill your book of life.
So you should do good deeds while you can, no matter when that is.
Do good deeds while you can.
While you're alive, regardless of the timing of the comets, be a good person.
And then you too shall earn your inheritance.
And when this simulation is closed out, We will get to have fun discussing this in the heavenly realm.
Like, whoa, did you see that second comet?
Yeah, I was nearby.
That was like a trumpet.
I joke.
I joke a little bit. We won't be having English conversations, but you get the idea.
All right, so that's my take on the rapture.
Post-trib for the reasons I have mentioned here.
All right. So we're going to get back to some foods and herbs and superfoods and so on soon, maybe with the next sermon.
I've been meaning to get back to that because we do need to be healthy and nourished while we're here.
And God's gifts in the form of foods and molecules and so on can help us with this journey, help us survive, help us be healthy.
And so we need to learn about those things.
So we'll get back to that. But let us not forget what we have learned here about the book of Revelation, Matthew 24, Ezekiel 38-39, 1 Thessalonians, 1 Corinthians, and also there are some other books that we need to cover as well.
In particular, we need to cover Zechariah from the Old Testament.
So that might be next.
We'll cover Zechariah, and we'll see where that leads us.
Should be interesting.
Alright, thank you for listening.
Mike Adams here. Abundance.church is the website.
Be sure to join the email list there so that you can be alerted as I publish maybe PowerPoint presentations, videos about all of this.
I'm going to document a lot of this because it can get complex and it would be good to have it all in one place.
So I'm going to be putting that together over the next few months, God willing, if we're all still here.
And we'll see what we can do together.
But God bless you.
Thank you for listening. Thank you for your support.
Abundance.Church. Oh, and I forgot to mention, our church is making its first donation, its first food rescue donation.
And you know how we have all these victims of the hell storm or Helene storm that's been affecting Tennessee and North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia.
A lot of people there are hungry.
And I don't know if you know this, but one of the missions of our church is to, well,
the primary mission of the community help side of our church is to provide emergency
food to people.
That's been the vision from day one.
And so we had planned to kind of crank this up and have what are going to be called health
ranger rescue packs, maybe sometime in 2025.
That was the vision because, you know, I have a commercial side of operations that earns
profits and then the commercial side would be manufacturing these rescue packs, donating
them to the church, and then the church would be responsible for distribution.
Well, God had other plans and kind of moved up the timetable with this storm, Helene.
And so now, all of a sudden, God commands us to just accelerate this mission.
And so we have.
And so we announced a program.
I'm not going to promote it here because this is entirely non-commercial.
But we did announce a program in our regular store, the Health Ranger store.
A buy one, gift one program on the food buckets.
And I actually only announced that a few hours ago, that every time a person buys an organic food bucket, we donate one bucket of the same value to the people in Tennessee or North Carolina, Asheville in particular.
And I'm happy to say that in just a few hours, we've already raised $22,000 worth of food.
I mean, donations that we're going to organize a trucking company, pick it up at our warehouse where we have the loading docks, and then to deliver it to...
What's the town...
Here it is. Iron Station, North Carolina.
Yeah. Iron Station, North Carolina.
Apparently there's an airport there that's a staging area.
So we're sending food there.
I'm only telling you this not to even...
I'm not asking you to buy anything or donate anything.
I'm just saying that the mission of the church has been moved up because of the storms.
And... It actually gives me a very strong feeling of fulfillment to be able to do this and to carry out the mission of the church even though we're all scrambling to try to get all the pieces in place.
It's way faster than we had anticipated.
But We're able to do this.
And to know all the right people to arrange for the transport to the staging area and distribution.
And we are distributing God's molecules because our foods are very nutrient-rich.
We specialize in superfoods and organic foods.
So we are literally distributing God's molecules that we teach here.
We are now distributing them to the American people who are being mostly abandoned by the federal government.
So we are carrying out the mission of the church.
God called on us to start this church.
And I didn't even, I had no idea that I was going to be doing sermons like this.
It wasn't even on my life map or my list of things to do.
It was nowhere in my sight to do this.
But God called me to do it.
God called me to set up the church.
We just got the federal tax ID like 10 days ago, and then boom, a storm hits, and then boom, we're able to pull together these food donations, which I think are going to be massive, because I've barely even announced this.
I think we'll have $100,000 worth of food going to these people in need, and that is, that's, I feel a great sense of joy to be able to help out my fellow Americans through the church, To do God's work.
And I just want to share that with you, and I want to thank you for your support.
I'm not asking you to buy anything or donate anything.
I'm just telling you that we're doing this.
And it's desperately needed, and God actually lined this up.
God ran my timetable, actually, to get us to this day to be able to do this when this storm hit.
Seriously. Just walking in faith, just day by day, putting one foot in front of the other, like, oh, we need to start this church.
And, you know, half my staff was like, what?
You know? It's like, what are you talking about?
What do you mean start a church?
Just getting called to do it.
What do you mean? Explain it.
I can't explain it. We're just supposed to do this.
And here we are. And isn't that the way God works?
God works just like that.
So be open to God working like that in your life, too.
And don't worry about what other people think or say.
If you are compelled by God to move in a direction, and you do it in service...
To Christ's teachings and to what God wants of you.
And if you're certain about that, if you're authentic about that, you're doing it for the right God reasons, and it's happening for you, it's working, that's a sign from God that you're supposed to be doing that.
So be open to that.
Be open to miracles in your life.
Because you are a miracle.
We're all miracles. We're miracles of God, an extension of His Spirit.
Our life, our consciousness, our free will, our very existence is because of His blessings.
Remember, He created the whole simulation here.
And He's going to take us out of it, too, by the way.
So be ready for that day.
All right. Thank you for listening.
God bless you all. Mike Adams here.
