Opps! I guess I wasn't ready
Author: Greg Chrisensen

I realize this web page will be addressing two audiences: those of you who read
this, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he
that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience
and the faith of the saints." (Revelation 13:7-10)

"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them
that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And
they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou
not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes
were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should
rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren,
that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." (Revelation 6:9-11)

At first it may seem rather easy to secretly be a follower of Jesus Christ.
Unfortunately, very soon the Antichrist will be requiring everyone to receive a
mark in their right hand or forehead. This electronic implant will be the means
by which everyone buys and sells goods and services. If you do not have this
implant, it will become quiet obvious.

"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the
beast, or the number of his name." (Revelation 13:17)

Because the Bible says that everyone who receives this implant (mark of the
beast) will be eternally lost, I'm going to highly advise you to decline the
offer when the government informs you, they have your implant ready for
insertion.

"And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no
rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth
the mark of his name." (Revelation 14:11)

In the coming persecution, you will likely be faced with the greatest amount of
trials that Christians has ever had to endure in world history. You will know how
long you will have to endure. From the time the Antichrist declares himself to be
God, there will be only 1260 days until Christ returns to earth.

As time passes and the sufferings of the tribulation grow more severe, your
desire to see Christ should grow all the more, stronger. If you are required to
lay down your life, I promise you, the moment of pain, regarding your death, will
be nothing compared to the pleasures of an eternity in God's glory.

"And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to
the end shall be saved." (Matthew 10:22)

is page before the rapture and the those of you who read it after the rapture.
My focus here will be on those of you who have found this page after the rapture
of the Church. For anyone reading this material before the pre-trib rapture, I
highly recommend that you ponder the negative consequences of being left behind,
and seriously consider committing your life to Jesus, if you have not already.



What's Happened?

Right now, I'm sure there's a tremendous battle going on, with various points of
view trying to explain why millions of people just suddenly disappeared into thin
air.

Because it's likely that the media will be teaming with possible explanations for
the disappearances, I'll pass on trying to guess at what they all might be. What
I will do is tell you what caused this supernatural event. The mass disappearance
of all these people was the result of the Lord Jesus Christ removing all
believers that were spiritually ready, from off the earth. This catching up of
the Christians into heaven is referred to as the rapture of the Church.

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of
the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise
first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them
in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the
Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." (1 Thes 4:16-18)

"Behold, I shew 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 trump: for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be
changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put
on immortality." (1 Corinthians 15:51-53)



Why Didn't He Take Me?

If you are reading this after the rapture, you need to realize that that you have
been left behind.

At this time you may be feeling rejected by God. You might be saying to yourself,
"Why didn't he take me?" or "I don't understand; I've led a good life." The
problem wasn't that God rejected you; the problem is that you have rejected him.
By not committing your life to Jesus and by not following after him, you have
left him with no other choice but to leave you behind.

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." (Matthew
7:21)

"For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my
brother, and sister, and mother." (Matthew 12:50)

"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as
scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they
shall be as wool." (Isaiah 1:18)



Is There Hope For Me?

Depending on how early you read this article, you may have heard people say,
"Because we've missed the rapture, we are lost forever." If you do hear something
like this, whoever they are, their assumption is wrong. The only way you can find
yourself eternally lost is to receive the mark of the Beast on your right hand or
forehead. Barring that, as long as you have breath in your lungs, you can gain
salvation by trusting in Jesus Christ as your Savior.

"... him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:37)

"Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest." (Matthew 11:28)

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
[even] to them that believe on his name:" (John 1:12)

According to Revelation, there will be a huge number of people saved during the
tribulation. Some scholars have predicted that tribulation believers would grow
to out number the saints that were just raptured.

"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of
all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and
before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;" (Revelation
7:9)

"And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have
washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." (Revelation
7:14)

Why do I need Jesus Christ to be my Savior?

To be allowed to pass through heaven's gate you need to have all your sins
removed, and the only industrial strength cleanser that I know is strong enough
to thoroughly remove sin stains is the blood of Jesus Christ.

You could say heaven is much like the "clean rooms" where computer companies make
their microchips, and sin is like any dust or dirt that might try to find its way
into one those rooms.

The manufacturing process for microchips requires "clean rooms" to be absolutely
spotless, having virtually zero free-floating dust or dirt particles that could
damage the delicate microchips.

Because humans are naturally contaminated with all kinds of dirt and dust
particles, whenever a worker enters one of these "clean rooms," they need to wear
a special suit that prevents them from giving off particles.

To prevent heaven from becoming contaminated with sin particles, God has long set
the requirement that anyone desiring to enter into his untarnished dwelling place
needs to be covered in the blood of Jesus.

The sin decontamination process is very simple - you simply ask Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, for it. First you admit your sinful state, then you ask Jesus to
forgive you of your wrongdoings, and then you make him Lord of your life.

By dying on the cross, Jesus has made it possible for each of us to be granted a
full pardon from the punishment of eternal damnation. The reason so few people
take God up on the offer of being pardoned is that most people don't think they
need a Savior or they want to find their own way of salvation.

"...if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with
the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10)

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)



Changing Your Direction

After making Jesus the Lord of your life, you need to change the direction of
your life.

I remember when I was a young lad, I was on vacation with my parents, and we were
headed to some city up in Minnesota. While driving, we made a turn that some of
us in the car questioned. It wasn't until almost an hour later that everyone
realized we were definitely headed in the wrong direction. Well, after having a
spirited debate about proper automobile navigation, we found our bearings and
proceeded to head towards our originally intended destination.

Once you realize you have been heading in the wrong direction, the best and only
thing to is to turn right around and start heading in the right direction.

You cannot just mouth a few words, and then continue on your merry away. You need
to make a full commitment to Jesus Christ by reading his words and following his
examples of holy living.

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that
leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is
the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that
find it." (Matthew 7:13-14)



There Will be Strong Delusion

I Would imagine the next Sunday, after the rapture takes place, every church on
earth will be filled to overflowing. Suddenly, everyone left behind will discover
a need to renew their faith.

Unfortunately, the revival is going to be very short lived. The apostle Paul in
Thessalonians predicts, because most men's hearts will still love unholy living,
they will turn and follow after a deception that God himself will send. Jesus
foretold that the false prophets would arise using "great sign and wonders" to
trick people into believing satanic lies.

"And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they
received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause
God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they
all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness." (2 Thes 2:10-12)

"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great
signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the
very elect." (Mat 24:24)

During the next few years, there is going to arise a world leader, which the
Bible calls the Antichrist. At first he will seem like the most benevolent leader
that has ever held office. However, by the end of the tribulation, he will easily
put the likes of Hitler and Stalin to shame.

Because the lies of the Antichrist and false prophets will be so pervasive, you
will need to assume everything and anything in the mass media is tainted
doctrine. Your only source for the truth must now exclusively come from the
Bible.

Do Not Trust Christian Leaders

In the coming days, you are going see and hear messages from some of the biggest
names in Christendom on radio and TV, and these messages won't be ones recorded
before the rapture. The broadcasts you'll be hearing will be either live or taped
after the rapture. They will be from Christian leaders that have also been left
behind.

Millions of people will be reassured by the fact that their favorite Christian
celebrity is still here on earth. I expect most of these well-known leaders,
possible out embarrassment, will be working feverishly to disprove the rapture
event. They may say things like, "I don't know where or why those people
disappeared, but I will tell you this - That was not the so-called rapture of the
Church."

I'm sure it will be quite confusing to hear men that were regarded as the leading
authorities on the pre-tribulation rapture, now proclaiming contradictory
theories. Don't listen to them no matter how well respected they appear.

Many religious and political leaders will be attempting to persuade you into
believing some logical explanation for the rapture. All of their lies will be
contrary to the Word of God. If they give you any doubt, just remember they were
left behind just like you, so what business do they have instructing you?

Enduring to the End

Well, folks here comes the unpleasant news. Most of you will likely have to
choose martyrdom if you wish to maintain your commitment to Jesus Christ. There
will be no middle ground. During this tribulation hour, you will have to choose
between two masters - the Antichrist or Jesus Christ.

Your decision to follow Jesus will not be a popular one. The majority of the
world's populous will soon be falling captive to the Antichrist's hypnotic words.
Because true believers will refuse to join the chorus of praise, the Antichrist
will demand that all nonconforming Christians be put to death.

"And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and
power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that
dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book
of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an
