Don't Miss the Rapture! What Should I Do? - Dr. Gene Kim

we believe in a doctrine called dispensationalism in other words we believe in dividing verses to the right group of people and the right time period because if you don't do that you're gonna combine all the verses together and come up with major wrong doctrine and one example is about different raptures dispensational raptures there's not just one there are different ones that's extremely important because if you don't do that then you're going to have many Christians worried about am i worthy to go to the rapture there are people and comments online that I saw about that too listen I want to tell you something if you're saved by the blood of Jesus Christ you trusted in him alone for your salvation not of your works you're going to have no matter what sin you committed in the future and you're gonna get raptured up to heaven no matter what sin you come in in the future you're a raptured up to heaven some people may argue but there are verses that show you have to be watching you have to be counted worthy so that you can be raptured up to heaven that's right there are verses that show that but that's not for Christians Christians in their rapture what they are is that because they're saved in Jesus Christ they're raptured up to heaven but then there's a group in the tribulation called tribulation Saints and these people they have to follow certain conditions to be raptured to heaven do you know why because it makes sense in the church age that's why salvation is faith not works but here in the tribulation the salvation system is faith and works ah that's why they there are verses that show certain conditions you have to follow to get raptured up to heaven that's why this doctrine is important dispensational raptures it solves a problem so let's look at several verses that show conditions to the rapture whether you like it or not there are conditions let's start out with mark chapter 13 and we will look at verse 31 five chapter 13 and we will read verse 35 the Word of God reads in verse let's start with verse 34 verse 32 though 32 would be better but of that day in that hour knoweth no man no not the angels which are in heaven neither the son but the father so talking about the coming of Jesus Christ when he raptures them so that's the famous passage people use for the pre-tribulation rapture but this passage is not pre-tribulation rapture this is post-trib you understand some references to the second coming of Jesus it's a post-trib rapture it's not pre trip we're gonna keep reading right here verse 34 no verse 33 taking heed watch and pray for ye know not when the time is see you don't know when that time when Jesus will come to rapture you so you have to be praying and watching Christians don't have to do that how many of you have been backsliding on your prayer huh excluding today's altar call time has Sunday how many of you have been backsliding on your prayer a lot of you will be left behind for the tribulation keep reading for the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey who left his house and gave authority to his servants and to every man his work and commanded the porter to watch look at that these people are to work and to watch keep the things what God has given them to do they got to be doing that wide because verse 35 watch he therefore for you know not when the master of the house cometh or even or at midnight or at the cock-crowing or in the morning less coming suddenly he finds you notice sleeping and what I say unto you I say unto all watch you have to be doing that look at this group look at Matthew 25 Matthew 25 here's a group of people who are tribulation Saints but five of them maintained it their salvation by faith and works were watching and they got raptured the other five were left behind and this passage is infamously used to refer to Christians today Lu the Holy Spirit and losing their salvation no this is tribulation Matthew 25 well in order to know Matthew 25 is tribulation let's follow context Matthew 24 and verse 3 notice the disciples asked Jesus what's gonna happen at the end of the world so Jesus Christ he's explaining the end of the world at verse 4 and guess what he doesn't stop at the end of chapter 24 he continues talking about the end of the world at chapter 25 so let's see what's going to happen at the tribulation the end of the world verse 1 of chapter 25 then shall the Kingdom of Heaven be likened unto ten virgins which took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom and five of them were wise and five were foolish they that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps while the bridegroom tarried they all slumbered and slept remember mark 13 when he comes you better be watching and praying and working why lest he find you sleeping because you're gonna miss that rapture keep reading they were sleeping verse 6 and at midnight there was a cry made behold the bridegroom cometh go ye out to meet him see the coming of Jesus comes down and then he takes them up for his wedding remember the marriage supper of the lamb at revelation 19 see that so he's starting something up there he's getting everything going they're gonna get raptured up to heaven now keep reading verse 7 then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps and the foolish said unto the wise give us of your oil for our lamps are gone out but the wise answered saying not so lest there be not enough for us and you but go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves and while they went to buy the bridegroom came and they that were ready see that watch be ready you don't know when the hour he's gonna come now look what happened they that were ready went in with him to the marriage and the or was shot see that up in heaven revelation 19 correct marriage supper of the lamb they went up with him and the door was shut Revelation chapter forces there's a door in heaven let's keep reading verse 11 afterward came also the other virgin saying Lord Lord opened to us but what did God say look at verse 12 a sign that they're not his saved children but he answered and said verily I say unto you I what know you not if God says that to you that means you're not saved oh no that's not true yeah look at Matthew 7 for example Jesus What did he say to those when he was going to cast them to hell I never knew you depart from me and cast them into hell what did jesus said about say people I know them I know them see you got a watch C script do you notice these pieces are connecting now isn't it that's right this is important dispensationalism but people don't believe in different salvation plans they don't believe in different raptures oh you know that's so controversial no it's not controversial it's your tradition your denomination that you're used to that makes it controversial this makes a lot of sense actually when you do that it clicks it clicks that's why verse 13 watch therefore for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh look at that and silly sort of the Lord fundamentalist KGB Baptist churches Tim LaHaye and all those guys they give this weird teaching that says oh you know you know why you can't time the rapture because of these verses that verse is talking about some time at the tribulation see because it's not we're not at the actual end yet some time there's a rapture so you don't know when so you got to be watching see that that's a silly silly argument they're using it's not gonna work it makes more sense with this one not with this one now let's keep not only that with this rapture God showed you several signs on what's going to take place when this rapture occurs but in this one it doesn't it doesn't you got to get ready you got to get prepared now obviously I'm not saying that you can tell me that it's going to be September 23rd 2017 for the rapture of the church I'm not saying that okay I'm not saying that you can pinpoint the exact day an hour to do that but here's the thing is that the Bible does show you an approximate time range on how close we are this one you definitely can't all right now let's keep reading right here we're going to look at Luke chapter 12 Luke chapter 12 and verse 37 Luke 1237 Luke chapter 12 and verse 37 and then we're gonna jump to Luke 17 because I got to tell you I got to teach you this this verse has been greatly miss applied for pre-tribulation rapture look at Luke chapter 12 and verse 37 first of all I don't have a problem with post tribulation rapture I agree with that but it's for tribulation Saints not for Christian Saints we have our pre-trib rapture okay so we look at Luke 1237 we saw Luke 12 we also saw mark 13 and we saw Matthew 25 and these are conditions involved now let's look at Luke chapter 12 and then we will read verse 37 the Bible reads right here blessed are those servants whom the Lord when he cometh shall find what watching verily I say unto you that he shall gird himself and make them to sit down to meet and will come forth and serve them and if he shall come in the second watch or come in the third watch and find them so blessed are those servants verse 40 be therefore ready also for the Son of man cometh on an hour when ye think not repeating again condition see conditions involved is that for Christians no this is for people in the tribulation it's not for Christians we're also going to look at Luke 17 Luke chapter 17 now I will show you the Christian one later in case people are not convinced but let's jump to Luke 17 this passage is greatly miss applied to prove pre-tribulation rapture that you can escape the tribulation it's greatly miss applied we're gonna look at Luke chapter 17 Luke chapter 21 I made a mistake Luke chapter 21 Luke 21 this is a verse that is used for pre-tribulation rapture but when you teach this as pre-tribulation rapture then you're saying that Christians are supposed to follow conditions look at verse 36 Watchi therefore and what pray always that ye may be accounted what worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the Son of man this verse is used to prove pre-tribulation rapture and you know that's a silly argument because this argument is used then you're teaching that they have to pray they have to be worthy so that they can get raptured eventually no that passage that wording is similar with what you noticed Luke 12 Mar 13 month II 25 its tribulation rapture however you can use this so that I can join the pre-trib side so that post rivers don't jump their hands and join and do jumping jacks and acts silly Luke 21 actually can still prove pre-trib rapture do you know why why preacher because it says right here even though verse 36 you have to follow these conditions to be raptured and to escape look at the rest of the verses right right here watching therefore pray always that notice who's part of the group that escapes that he may be accounted worthy so you're accounted worthy another one verse 35 he comes as a snare unexpectedly verse 34 this is very plain you're not part of the drunkenness you're not part of the night didn't you know Christians say by the blood of Jesus and even if they sinned they're still automatically counted this group of people who are not drawn can part of the night and worthy because of the blood of Jesus if you don't believe me look at 1st Thessalonians 4 and 5 now let me show you why Christian this is not for Christians why pre-trip look at 1st Thessalonians oh you think Steven Anderson Alex Jones texe Marrs all those guys they know a lot of Bible you never heard this stuff before did you people and I'm this is not a new doctrine this is taught by Bible believing preachers see how bad and rare truth is you really don't know that much for the Bible after all look at 1st Thessalonians 5 let's now look at verse 1 but of the times and the seasons brethren you have no need that I write unto you well look at that at this particular passage you can know an approximate timetable how close the rapture is see very different from the other ones but let's keep reading for yourselves know what perfectly you know that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night now look at verse 4 but a breath Rijn are not in what darkness that that day should overtake you as a what thief you're not overtaken unawares like a snare like Luke 21 said you're not part of the night like Luke 21 says look at verse 5 ye are all the children of what the light and the children of the what day see that look at verse 7 for they that sleep sleep in the night and they that be drunken are what drunken in the night you're not part of that verse 9 but let us who are of the day be sober see that you're automatically counted that bunch that's why Luke 21 just proved pre-trib rapture but you'll notice that Luke 21 because Jesus was talking about going through the tribulation and it was all tribulation context Jewish context not Christian context you'll see that there were all these conditions involved similar to these wordings right here so this is Luke 21 doctrinally you have to realize this it's four posts violation rapture you have to follow conditions but what Paul did see Paul he's different he's speaking to the church what he did was is that he realized the condition the conditions to escape the tribulation and to get raptured so then what does he do in first Thessalonians 5 he elaborates on the conditions that are different from this one if you're safe Christian you're automatically counted as that and you're raptured up to heaven if that's not enough to convince you look at chapter 4 the famous passage about the rapture look at verse 13 but I would not have you to be ignorant brethren concerning them which are asleep that II sorrow not even as others which have no hope for if we what believe have you believed that Jesus died and rose again did you believe in that okay if you believed in that look at this even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him look at verse 17 then we which are what alive and remain shall be what caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord look at that see you're automatically counted if you believed in Jesus Christ for your salvation Paul automatically counted you we were all going up together he even says those that are alive and what remain so there's no remaining Christians left behind going through the rapture because they're there counted unworthy no all of them going up even the leftovers see there is no doubt there's a difference with these raptures there is absolutely no doubt you have to divide raptures these raptors are different you have to divide different groups of people these are Christians these are Jews in the tribulation by context there's a different rapture different group of people different conditions this do you know how to get raptured and not go through the tribulation you believe on Jesus Christ for your salvation boom you're done but here it's a faith and work system you have to follow conditions and not just believe and then be cut when you follow the conditions you're raptured up to heaven that's why this doctrine dispensationalism is absolutely important and clears up heresy
