The Future Foretold
Perhaps Nostradamus is your source for seeking knowledge about the future. He may have been pretty good at foretelling the future, but there's only one source that has proved to be 100% accurate. That's the Bible, the Word of God. So, you don't have to take my word for what I present in this video, and you certainly don't need to look any further for the truth.
It's time the church discovers our true destiny. With so many complicated, competing, convoluted ideas of what, when, and even if there is to be a rapture, with pre-trib, post-trib, mid-trib, pre-wrath, amillennial, and whatnot opinions, we need the truth. Unfortunately there is much lacking in the pre-trib teachings as well as the other camps of opinion. The pre-tribbers appear to be escapists. 'We're going to escape the tribulation. Just before all the bad stuff happens, Jesus will come and take us home.' The others, with great annoyance and disdain for such dribble, actually see the truth that the church will suffer persecution and tribulation before we see heaven. This documentary will clear up that confusion, as long as the listener is willing to adjust to the Word of the Lord.
Final Deception: Contradicting Pre-Trib Rapture
The Final Deception Confronting the Body of Christ: A Clear Refutation of the Error that Contradicts the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church - by Pastor Doug Riggs
This message was originally recorded March 4, 2015.
"The last and great and final deception that will be in the body of Christ – [is] the agenda of false teachers". According to Dr. Michael Lake, the doctrines of demons come from the watchers (fallen angels) and the Nephilim (hybrid offspring). The final deception confronting the body of Christ is the false teachings so prevalent in our generation related to eschatology. The confusion and deception is because the church today is not instructed sufficiently in the revelation of the mystery of the Christ, the singular and corporate aspect of the one New Man, Christ the head, the church His body. Without this key to properly interpret scripture, false teaching about the end times abounds. How many will apostatize and abandon their faith when tribulation comes on the church (not "The Tribulation") and Jesus isn't here to deliver us? The saints at Thessalonica experienced this confusion and had to be corrected.
It's important to see the distinctions between the prophecies in the Old Testament and the gospels relating to Israel and the second coming of Jesus, and the teaching on the coming of Jesus for the church (i.e.: the rapture), two completely different events soon to come. "The message for the church is very much different than what you see in Luke 21, Mark 13, and Matthew 24. Luke 21 is actually the Temple Discourse which sets the stage for the Olivet Discourse in Mark 13 and Matthew 24 that is focusing on the 2nd coming of the Lord. In other words, you look at the events leading up to the 2nd Advent of Christ when He returns from heaven to earth to establish His kingdom, that's what those passages are focusing on. There's nothing in there of the church; absolutely nothing." Remember, the revelation of the mystery of the Christ (corporate body of Christ) was not yet revealed, so the Gospels do not prophecy the rapture of the church, only the prophecy of Israel.
The "day of the Lord" is not the same as when Jesus comes for the church. The day of the Lord is that 7-year period of time prophesied in Daniel (and other places) that pertains to Israel. The "day of Christ Jesus" ("day of Christ") refers to when Jesus returns for the church. For those confused about the 2nd coming of Jesus, it's in two phases: first He comes FOR His church; then He comes WITH His church at the 2nd Advent when He will establish His throne on Earth. Doug also clears up the confusion about the trumpet of God blown when Jesus comes for the church and the trumpets blown by angels during the tribulation... not the same. "The eschatology of the church, that is, the last days prophetic plan for the church, is distinct from Israel and the nations... There's at least 7 years separation between the translation of the church and Jesus returning with His church to this earth 7 years later." "The rapture precipitates the day of the Lord."
Doug takes us into the context and framework of the letters to the Thessalonians. "Why is he (Paul) addressing this issue (false teaching) in 2 Thessalonians? Because the suffering they were going through was being interpreted as that they were in the day of the Lord... This is not just about Thessalonica. This is about the church at the end of the age. This is giving us the framework of what it's going to be like prior to the rapture. There's going to be universal suffering."
In this message, Doug gives a scenario that the falling away (apostacy) of the church prior to the rapture will be precipitated by the Disclosure Event, the public unveiling of the "aliens" and “extraterrestrials” among us. In other messages, Doug has suggested it could happen after the church is removed and that will be used to explain the sudden disappearance of Christians at the rapture. Either way, the Disclosure event "will be the precipitating factor that will prepare the stage for Antichrist."Doug stresses the importance of the Apostle Paul's clear teaching on the pre-day of the Lord (i.e.: pre-tribulation) rapture and it is not his private interpretation. "Pre-day of the Lord is not a position; it's the truth. You can't have 'pre-day of the Lord', 'mid-day of the Lord', 'pre-wrath', 'post-trib', 'post-day of the Lord'; only one can be right, and this is the right one. And, if you're certain about this, you're in sync with Paul. If you're not, you're not in sync with the Holy Spirit who's speaking through Paul to Gentile believers." When the doctrine of the rapture of the church is accurately taught, it should be an encouragement. "There's no encouragement about going through any phase of the day of the Lord - zero encouragement!"

God's Abandonment Judgment
Before Pastor Doug Riggs' message, you will hear many scriptures that warn of God's judgment on His people in covenant relationship with Him, whether Old or New. God's mercy endures, but there comes a time His mercy is exhausted and He has to judge. This is not a threat of losing the promise of eternal life. That is a gift free to us and paid for 2,000 years ago on the cross of Calvary by Jesus Christ.
However, how we live our lives upon receiving this gift ultimately determines our eternal destiny, either 30-, 60-, or 100- fold blessing and reward, or 'saved so as through fire' with no reward. As Christians, members of the body of Christ, we were bought with a price and our lives our not ours to live for ourselves and fulfilling our own pleasures. We must learn that any habitual or continuation in sin will lead to serious consequences. That's what this warning is about, and especially significant due to the shortness of time we have yet remaining here on earth.
This is one of Pastor Doug's shortest but most powerful messages on what God does to His people when they refuse to come under His authority and lordship and continue in idolatry, even though He warned them over and over. There is a point where one crosses the line, and incurs this judgment of God:1) The instruction to not pray nor intercede for them, as God will not hear;2) God's wrath poured out on His people (O.T.- Israel; N.T.- the church);3) God brings inescapable disaster on them;4) God will not listen to their cries;5) Abandonment judgment (see Proverbs 1:20-33); God withdraws;6) Results with sword, famine and pestilence (disease/sickness).
The background to this warning had to do with an SRA survivor who was not willing to come under the lordship of Christ. However, this message applies to all of us who are lured away from the Lord into idolatry and recurring failure.
Often we've heard that since Jesus paid for all our sins on the cross, that God remembers them no more - they're as far away as the east is from the west, it doesn’t mean that what we sow won’t be what we reap. There are consequences to sin – and this message addresses the more dire ones to consider. God’s forgiveness is no license nor is it an excuse to sin. God disciplines and scourges every son He receives. 'Discipline' means to child-train; 'scourge' is a whip made from strips of leather embedded with broken glass, metal shards, and what-not used to whip the back of the one punished, stripping away the flesh, exposing the bones. The term 'forty lashes less one' meant that 40 could kill the one being whipped, so 1 was withheld so that person doesn't die. In this message, Doug equates this very extreme judgment on His people as a visitation - and the day of visitation is here.
What should be our response in such a visitation? "The only response to something like that (i.e.: warnings of judgment) - a word like that - is humility and repentance."
Speaking of coming judgment, "If we have multiple-pronged asymmetric strategies against this nation; multiple biological, chemical, or even nuclear things going off simultaneously in different cities; multiple attacks through whatever it would be; 'Black Lives Matter' (which is a Marxist/Communist-run organization) - whatever the combination will be, it's considered asymmetrical warfare. It's not like the invasion of a top military force. That will occur first - break down the infrastructure, and then Russia will take care of the rest, according to Jeremiah 50 and 51." Doug reminds us, "There is no hope for America." So, what about the church of Laodicea, Sardis, Thyatira and Pergamum? Since judgment begins with God's household first, what should we expect? How much of this will be before the rapture??? I believe some will be before - and the rest after we're gone. God will use this to sift out from the church what does not conform to the characteristics of Philadelphia. I also believe in the next couple months we will see drastic changes with reference to the unraveling of banking, infrastructure, food availability, pandemics, and societal disintegration… and very possibly worse.
But, we don't languish in hopelessness. Doug assures us, "There is hope for that which will represent a remnant church rising up in the midst of disaster. And in that day of visitation, what the revival will look like is the fullness of the Gentiles coming into the body of Christ out of disaster."

Pioneers of the Heavenly Way
by T. Austin-Sparks was first published as a book by Witness and Testimony Publishers in 1953.
"Some time before these messages were given, desiring to be quiet and away from many things, I went down into the country with my heart very much to the Lord for His word. In the early hours of the morning it seemed as though the heavens opened and everything became alive: it all opened up wonderfully, and centred in one phrase - 'Pioneers of the Heavenly Way'. That really does sum up the verses that we have just read, and, while we are going to think and perhaps say much about the heavenly way, it is this matter of pioneering the heavenly way that will be our main concern. It is necessary, to begin with, for us to consider to some extent the heavenly way itself, but I repeat that it is this whole tremendous business of pioneering that way that I believe to be the main concern of the Lord, and hence of ourselves, at this time." T. A-S.
