Rapture

[empireuniverse]

One thing that I've come to realize, is that even though a message is
received, it doesn't answer all of the questions. Let's just say for
sake of argument, that you completely believe me and that this message
is from God. What I would like to know, is what we can conclude from
this one line statement.


Let's break it down. Some logical assumptions based soley on this one
line:


"The alien/UFO phenomenon will be used to explain the rapture to non-
believers."



1. There is going to be a rapture. We know this for sure because it's
clearly stated.



2. The Saints will be 'taken' in the rapture. We know this for sure
because all that is left are "non-believers".



3. The alien/UFO "phenomenon" will be a false explaination for the
rapture. We know this for sure because the sentence states "will be
used". The truth of the rapture is that it will be done by God.



4. The entire alien/UFO "phenomenon" is a satanic lie. We know this
for sure because it's being used as a false explanation.



5. As we get closer to the tribulation, there will be more and more
signs that the end is near. We can only assume, that the "alien/UFO
phenomenon" will increase...with close to the height of the activity
during the time of the rapture and into the tribulation. We can assume
that this is correct, because satan knows he only has 7 years left
(assuming that it is infact pre-trib). Furthermore, satan does not
know exactly when the rapture is going to take place. We can assume
that satan is carefully watching the signs of the coming end as well.
Additionally, satan needs to time these false signs and wonders to
match the actual rapture. It's very much like a magic trick that uses
smoke and mirrors. satan needs to have the timing set perfectly to
match the rapture and get the most 'bang for the buck' out of his
deception.



6. Thus, it would be fairly accurate to assume that when the media
reports more and more "alien/UFO" stories, the rapture is getting
closer. If some Major signs and wonders occur regarding the alien/UFO
phenomenon unlike has ever been seen before, we can assume that the
rapture is imminent. For instance, a mass media "Official contact".



7. This alien/ufo lie that satan is spreading will be around for the
rest of our lives, whether the rapture occurs in our lifetime or not.



8. We can assume in all likelihood that the rapture will be pre-
tribulation. Is it possible to read this as mid-tribulation? It's
possible, but to me the sentence flow seems to indicate pre-
tribulation.

I wonder if possessed Christians will be raptured?

I certainly hope so because I worry that I may have demons inside.
Thanks though, one more thing to worry about :)
