God's Electronic Rapture

God's Electronic Rapture

Many people look upon the growing surveillance by governments and other entities as a ominous sign of the end times, and they are right! But I look upon the surveillance of people, especially Christians, by governments as a hopeful sign that the rapture draws near, very near!

Just look at Matthew 24:36-44....
Matthew 24:36-44
New International Version (NIV)
The Day and Hour Unknown
36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Notice that the people taken up at the rapture are part of a pair where one goes up to be with Jesus Christ and the other stays behind. I believe that the pair is actually a representation of a person and his electronic double. Our government is amassing a huge database of every person which represents our electronic twin. In Matthew 24: 40-41 the two men, and two woman, are actually one in the same person. One person is the actual person and the other is the electronic version stored in some electronic computer. When the rapture takes place the living breathing person, who believes in Jesus Christ, will go up to be with Christ in heaven and the other other person who is left behind is only an electronic representation in some government database. This is how the bible prophesies about the rapture centuries before the existence of electronic computers without giving away any of the details beforehand.

If you are unsure you will be included in the rapture when it happens then just believe in Jesus Christ and stay diligent by never falling back into a life of sinful pleasures. When the rapture takes place all that will remain of God's faithful on this earth will be an electronic record in some government database taunting the sinful who where foolish enough to dismiss Jesus Christ as the true messiah who offered everyone salvation to all those who believe in his name.

God Bless
note:

Notice that both the men and woman were working when the rapture occurred. Noah was hard at work building an Ark when the flood started so those who neglect their own Ark Building today will be left behind. We should all be diligent and working when Jesus Christ returns which means, going to church, becoming a member of a church, getting baptized, and spreading the good news about Jesus Christ. I call all of this work extremely necessary in order to be included in the rapture. Its our 'Ark Building' duty!

Our human DNA goes upward while our electronic DNA stays behind!

I can honestly say. I have never heard this understanding before.

Please understand that it is the evil ones that were taken by the flood, thus those taken at the second coming shouldn't be expecting salvation, but instead judgement, because it was Noah who was left behind to rebuild the world. I suspect 'taken' in this sense is similar to the OT idea of being 'gathered'.

Mat 24:37 - But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38 - For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 - And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:40 - Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:41 - Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:42 - Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Right on target. I'm not so sure them left will rebuild the world, but they will have endured unto the end physically to enter the millennium.

 

[Brother Mike]

That is an interesting take on it that I have never heard before! Two men will be in the field, one will be taken, his I-Phone left behind..

So the I-pods and apple products get taken first. Then it's true, the tares are removed first. I suspected as much but now have biblical proof.

That sounds plausible but .................. If the Lord comes it's to get his. The angels take the bad guys in Rev 14........... The whole idea is the flood and being rescued from that. Noah was put in a boat, we are taken. Peter also connected the flood to the end but the flood was for the ungodly in Peters version to wipe them out. We are already told that at tribulation those that are in the book of life will be rescued. Not to be set aside somewhere safe and do nothing. If we are left here, then we have work to do, but no gospel or any of the Church language is present during Tribulation. That means we are not here.

I'm thinking your theory is something new ugmug would you mind sharing how you came to this conclusion..

Thanks..

That's because Jesus told them to "flee the city" and they did.

 

[John 8:32]

When the rapture takes place the living breathing person, who believes in Jesus Christ, will go up to be with Christ in heaven and the other other person who is left behind is only an electronic representation in some government database.

No one ever goes to heaven...

Joh 13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.

This was said to His closest disciples the night before He died. We don't go there, Christ comes back here and stays. After the Millenium, the Father brings New Jerusalem down to earth. We NEVER go there, He comes here.

 

[Pizzaguy]

"To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord..."

""I go and prepare a place for you..."

Hmmm, where DID I read those lines? Was it Dr. Suess? One of Rush Limbaugh's books? The Magna Carta?

Bring some Board Games Deborah13 so we can play together while we sit this one out.

[John 8:32]

"To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord..."

""I go and prepare a place for you..."

Hmmm, where DID I read those lines? Was it Dr. Suess? One of Rush Limbaugh's books? The Magna Carta?

Well let's read that...

2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Since you are quoting Paul, let's stay with Paul...

1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

When?

1Co 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Co 15:52 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.

When?

1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1Th 4:16 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:
1Th 4:17 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.

When? At the RETURN OF CHRIST!

Now for John 14

Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Now let's jump to Luke...

Act 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Christ is coming back to the earth and that is the time of the resurrection. Then we shall be absent form the body and present with the Lord.
