The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the Lord said, ‘I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.’ But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. ~ Genesis 6:5-8, ESV

For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. ~ Matthew 24:37, ESV

We are living in a revived Hybrid Age—an Age prophesied about in the books of Enoch, Jubilees and Jasher. In these three ancient texts are passages that describe the original Hybrid Age—the Age in which Noah lived as being the first in which DNA was genetically manipulated, and the generation in which Nimrod lived as the first generation in which cosmic-scale technology was pursued.

After the Watchers (angelic class) during Noah’s day revealed some secrets of creation and important building blocks of society to mankind, many of the pre-Flood human beings quickly desired to produce a superior race that would make slaves out of the Adamic race. Even the Watchers desired to produce their own advanced beings. This is the reason why these Fallen Angels created a genetically altered human race—the giants or Nephilim.

According to Jasher 4:18, pre-Flood mankind also began to experiment with genetically manipulated animals (the mixing of incompatible animals of one species with another species; e.g., the blending of a horse with a human). In the extra-biblical text of Jasher, these words are written:

And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals. ~ Jasher 4:18; Internet Sacred Text Archive, Book of Jasher, Chapter 4

This ungodly tampering with God’s creation—altering mankind’s DNA—no doubt is what provoked God to the point that He finally was fed up with mankind. The end result is that He destroyed the entire world with a Flood.

In the Ancient Book of Enoch, Enoch prophesies that the Watchers or Fallen Angels would be bound in the Abyss for 70 generations—after the Flood. At that time, they will be set free to receive their final judgment—their place in the Lake of Fire. The following prophecy attributed to Enoch is recorded in Ken Johnson’s Ancient Book of Enoch:

The Lord said unto Michael: ‘Go, tell Semyaza and his associates who have defiled themselves by marrying women, that they and all those they contaminated will be destroyed. When they have seen their sons slay one another and all their loved ones destroyed, bind them for seventy generations under the valleys of the earth, until the day of their judgment and of their end, till their last judgment be passed for all eternity. In those days they will be led off to the fiery abyss, to the torment and the prison in which they will be confined forever. And whosoever was condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations. Destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because they have oppressed mankind. Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear, and it will prove a blessing; the works of righteousness will be planted in truth and joy forevermore. ~ Enoch 10:11-16, pp. 23-24

Now in many biblical Scriptures, it is evident that after the Flood the lifespan of mankind leveled off at 70-80 years. The Psalmist also describes the length of a generation as 70-80 years (cf. Psalm 90:9-10). While wars, diseases, famines, and other factors down through the years have caused the number of years to a generation to fluctuate, the length of a generation today is still pretty much 70-80 years—the length of a generation since King David’s generation. Therefore, if Enoch’s prophecy is right and because the length of a generation is still 70-80 years, then that means that our generation is very close to the end of those prophesied 70 generations or 4,900 years Enoch said would pass before the chained in the Abyss Watchers/Fallen Angels would be released.

As already mentioned, Nimrod’s tower, stairway to Heaven, or stargate—the pinnacle of occult knowledge—was Nimrod’s example of the available cosmic-scale technology in his day (in his wicked generation). He wanted to use his tower not only to spread his occult practices upward into Heaven but also to make a name for himself by being the first person to pry open a portal/gate that leads to God. More specifically, Nimrod was seeking to open an interdimensional doorway into the spirit realm/eternal realm (i.e., time travel), because he was trying to maintain technology and physics—the secret creation knowledge the Watchers had shared with pre-flood human beings, who didn’t get the chance to apply all that they learned. Nimrod didn’t get the chance either, because God confused the language and scattered all of the people.

However, the human race is now right back where it was in Noah’s day. Additionally, some 4,500+ years later, CERN scientists are hoping to get a shot at achieving what Nimrod failed to do.

What is all this hullabaloo about Noah and Nimrod’s days? It is this: Just like the genetic manipulations in Noah’s day have come full circle with our 21^st century’s Transhumanistic Revolution, the strange events (the activity of Satan and the spirit of the antichrist) surrounding the construction of Nimrod’s Tower of Babel (a portal/gateway intended to reach into the heavenly realm) have come full circle with the strange events (the activity of Satan and the spirit of the antichrist) taking place inside of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (a portal/gateway intended to reach into the heavenly realm).

There is no doubt that 21^st century’s human beings definitely are technologically competent to do whatever they imagine to do. This truth is ever-so evident wherever there are human enhancement experiments (genetic manipulations), and evident wherever present-day scientists are searching for interdimensional portals (seeking time travel)—the former of which is happening in laboratories all over the world; the latter is happening primarily in CERN near Geneva, Switzerland.

The only good news in all of the prophesied doom and gloom is that God will not let today’s scientific community succeed where the genetic manipulators in Noah’s Age failed (e.g., the Watchers with their Nephilim and mankind with its hope to mix two entirely different species), nor where the cosmic-scale technology in Nimrod’s generation failed. There can be no doubt that for God these two repeat attempts—the altering of mankind’s DNA structure and the opening of an interdimensional stargate—have to be the last straw. God is not going to allow mankind to shake its fist in His face, as it were—always be at odds with God (cf. Job 15:17-26).

Just like God used the prophesied Flood judgment to wipeout genetic mutations that happened in Noah’s day, He is going to use the prophesied Fire judgment to cleanse this Earth of the genetic mutations and the released Fallen Angels (Watchers) plus the 200 million demons they rule that enter through the open portals in our time. Out of the Abyss—the portal to which is located at the River Euphrates, where the wickedness in Noah’s day caused the Flood and where the wickedness in Nimrod’s generation caused God to confuse tongues and scatter mankind—will come an army of 200 million locust-like demons that have the power of scorpions, which the prophet Joel and apostle John describe as warring horsemen. Not only do these locust-like demons torment left behinders with powerful stings that cause excruciating pain, which makes the stung people wish they were dead, but also the horse-like demons the locust-like demons ride cause physical death—with their mouths and serpent-like tails—to one third of mankind (cf. Joel 2:1-11, Revelation 9:1-11 and Revelation 9:13-21). Both of these demonic spirits will be some of the most evil spirits ever that enter through the end-times portals scientists like those at CERN open.

Today’s Laodicean Christians need to wake up and discern the signs of the time. A word to the wise should be sufficient. Shalom . . . .

Avraham approached and said, ‘Will you actually sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Maybe there are fifty righteous people in the city; will you actually sweep the place away, and not forgive it for the sake of the fifty righteous who are there? Far be it from you to do such a thing — to kill the righteous along with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike! Far be it from you! Shouldn’t the judge of all the earth do what is just?’ ~ Genesis 18:23-25, CJB

For God has not intended that we should experience his fury, but that we should gain deliverance through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who died on our behalf so that whether we are alive or dead, we may live along with him. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10, CJB

In necessary things unity; in uncertain things freedom; in everything compassion. ~ Unknown Author; most often misattributed to Augustine

God help us all who call ourselves Christians, for even in a time such as this we still remain unable to become ONE. We primarily are divided by doctrines, issues, and practices. As a result, we who profess to be Your holy and righteous sons and daughters, joint-heirs with Your only begotten Son (Jesus the Christ), frequently end up treating each other like notorious enemies instead of like venerable brothers and sisters in Your Household of Faith.

There continues to be too much arguing among followers of Christ Jesus over doctrines, issues, and practices that neither are crucial to the Gospel of Christ nor to how anyone obtains eternal life (how someone is saved). Christians’ most commonly debated doctrines, issues, and practices include, but are not limited to: the Rapture, the Millennium, the Earth’s Age, Life on Other Planets, Food and Drink, Female Pastors, Observing the Sabbath vs. Worshipping on Sunday, Speaking in Tongues, Performing Miracles, and various legalistic Do’s and Don’ts (like going to the movies, dancing, smoking, drinking, playing cards, wearing makeup, and so forth).

How horrible our arguing with and our mistreatment of Body of Christ members must look to the unsaved world. No wonder the masses of lost souls in today’s world are not coming to Christ Jesus. Why would any of them want to be a part of this current 21st century body of believers who vehemently disagree with each other? These quarrelsome believers not only refuse to tolerate but also choose not to be civil to their brothers or sisters in Christ Jesus who think differently about things that usually have nothing to do with a person’s salvation nor with the Gospel of Christ!

If we agree on the essentials, yet disagree on the non-essentials, then let us learn how to agree to disagree without becoming/being disagreeable (unloving, compassionless, coldhearted, intolerable, argumentative, hostile, inhospitable, bad-tempered, grouchy, snarky, sarcastic, stubborn, nasty, offensive, unpleasant, unfriendly, rude, legalistic, insulting, disrespectful, and the list goes on). Let us learn how to remain loving, caring, and kind to each other. After all, one of the most crucial lessons Christ Jesus taught is this one: “This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other” (John 13:35, MSG).

Having said that, let me say this: Because I know that the Rapture is one of the most commonly debated doctrines, I would like to share, strictly from a general theological perspective, two biblical proofs favoring a pre-Tribulation Rapture. Not only do I find these proofs to be two of the best but also I agree with them, as do so many theologians, countless other followers of Christ, and even copious churchgoers. For this reason, I am certain that numerous individuals who will read this blog entry probably already know these proofs, and I equally am certain that various other individuals who will read this blog entry neither had read nor had heard of these proofs before now. My hope then is that the end result of having read this article will be that those readers who didn’t believe will have come to believe what so many present-day followers of Christ already accept to be true about the Bride of Christ’s pre-Tribulation Rapture.

Biblical Proof Number One—from the Old Testament:

Anyone who believes that there is a radical and ESSENTIAL difference between the righteous and the wicked should agree that God knows the difference, and he or she should agree that God is the One who makes the distinction between those who are “righteous” and those who are “wicked.” Additionally, anyone who believes that there is a radical and ESSENTIAL difference between the righteous and the wicked also should agree that righteousness and wickedness are exact opposite spiritual (heavenly vs. hellish) characteristics, which is why God never wanted His righteous children and the world’s wicked persons to mix.

Furthermore, since God knew there would be a nonstop righteous vs. wicked battle taking place on this Earth, that is why He had some undeniable proof of His timeless pattern of Judgment placed in His Word. Biblical proof number one, therefore, is that God does not judge His truly righteous believers with the world’s very wicked unbelievers. This biblical pattern is most noticeable in the Scriptures describing the time of Noah, and it continues to become more evident throughout the rest of the Old Testament. God’s pattern of Judgment also is found in the New Testament, especially in end-times verses. That’s why there really can be no denying that God clearly is represented throughout the Holy Bible as a righteous Judge who pronounces Judgment that always is correct and fair.

For example, in the Old Testament, Abraham, who is one of Noah’s after-the-Flood descendants, knew quite well that God never would judge the righteous with the wicked, and that is why Abraham doesn’t shy away from reminding God of His existing Judgment pattern. Abraham says to God:

…Will you actually sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Maybe there are fifty righteous people in the city; will you actually sweep the place away, and not forgive it for the sake of the fifty righteous who are there? Far be it from you to do such a thing — to kill the righteous along with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike! Far be it from you! Shouldn’t the judge of all the earth do what is just? ~ Genesis 18:23-25, CJB

The point here is that it had been established before Noah’s day that God is a just and righteous Judge who only punishes (pours out His Wrath only upon those whom He has judged as) the wicked, and then only AFTER He has removed (separated) the righteous from mingling with the wicked. Righteous Noah, his sons, and his sons’ wives were saved from God’s 40 days and 40 nights of the falling rain Flood Judgment, while God poured out His promised diluvial Wrath upon all of the Earth’s wicked inhabitants, as well as upon the Earth itself!

As already mentioned, this pattern of God’s Judgment runs all through the Testaments. Of course, there always is an exception, and the exception that must be noted here is that, although there are many New Testament verses that chiefly emphasize God’s Judgment, there is NO mention of God’s Judgment in the New Testament passages considered as Rapture passages. This observation leads to the second biblical proof.

Biblical Proof Number Two—from the New Testament:

Since there is no mention of God’s Judgment in the New Testament’s Rapture verses, then it is decidedly possible that the Rapture of the Bride of Christ happens at a separate time from when God judges and then punishes the Earth and the left-behind wicked, many who are followers of the Antichrist, with His fiery Wrath. The apostle John writes:

Then I saw another sign in heaven, a great and wonderful one — seven angels with the seven plagues that are the final ones; because with them, God’s fury is finished. ~ Revelation 15:1, CJB

Apostle John most assuredly is describing the last Judgments—the last of God’s judiciary righteous Judgments issued against the left-behind ungodly (His Wrath or Fury). The apostle also is describing God’s righteous Punishment for committed crimes His enemies are guilty of (His Wrath or Fury). Without doubt, these seven plagues (seven bowl judgments) are the last of all of God’s promised righteous end-times Punishment (His Wrath or Fury).

All the same, it must be noted here that apostle Paul says when Christ Jesus died on the Cross, His atoning sacrifice not only had made the gift of eternal life (Salvation) available, but also He had saved (rescued, delivered) believers from God’s end-times Judgments and Punishment (outpouring of Wrath). In other words, so that God’s righteous would not experience any of His end-times Wrath, Christ Jesus’ sacrificial dying absorbed it ALL. Thus, biblical proof number two is Christ Jesus already took the Wrath of God in place of God’s Household of Faith believers—bore the FULL brunt of God’s Wrath for the Body of Christ, also known as the Bride of Christ (both saved Christian Jews and Gentiles). Apostle Paul writes:

…you turned to God from idols, to serve the true God, the one who is alive, and to wait for his Son Yeshua, whom he raised from the dead, to appear from heaven and rescue us from the impending fury of God’s judgment. ~ 1 Thessalonians 1:9b-10, CJB

~ and ~

The point here is that it already had been established before Christ Jesus’ day that God still is a just and righteous Judge who only punishes (pours out His Wrath only upon those whom He has judged as) the wicked, and then only AFTER He has removed (separated) the righteous from mingling with the wicked. Therefore, it stands to reason that the Lord’s righteous Bride first will be saved (rescued, delivered) from any part of God’s seven years of the end-times Tribulation Judgments, after which God then will pour out all of His promised fiery Wrath upon all of the Earth’s left-behind inhabitants!

The bottom line is this: As it was in Noah and Abraham’s days, so will it be in these current last days. God will NOT have His spiritually renewed, saved, and reconciled back to Himself sons and daughters endure any of His prophesied end-times Judgments and Punishment that are reserved for His and Israel’s enemies. There is absolutely no way that God could explain or defend why He would let those individuals, whom the beaten and crucified Christ Jesus’ Blood has justified as righteous, and whom the mighty workings of the Holy Spirit completely has sanctified as holy (sinless), go through any of the seven years of the end-times Tribulation. That is why the Bride of Christ will NOT be in the Tribulation Period!

Once again, the two biblical proofs favoring a pre-Tribulation Rapture for the Bride of Christ are that God never would judge His righteous when He judges the wicked, and Christ Jesus already has emptied God’s full cup of Wrath so that born again, saved, justified, and fully sanctified followers of Christ would never have to experience any Wrath of God. AMEN!
