One Minute After The Pretribulation Rapture Of The Church, The Bible Becomes A Closed Book For Those Left Behind

The people left behind after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church
are boxed in on all sides. They can't understand the Bible, there are no
Christians to witness to them, and God sends them a strong delusion to
guarantee they will fall for a lie.  This is the famine for hearing the
word of God that Amos saw, and it is truly terrifying.

One minute after the
Pretribulation Rapture takes place, a worldwide famine will instantly
transpire. It won’t be a famine of food, it will be a famine of not
being able to have the word of God.

“Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the
land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the
words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the
north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of
the LORD, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.” Amos 8:11-13 (KJV)

The Bible doctrine of the Pretribulation Rapture
is so entrenched in Scripture that it’s not only in the New Testament,
it’s also in the Old Testament as well. Enoch, living before both the
Flood of Noah and before the Law of Moses is a type of a Christian who
never sees death and is translated directly to Heaven in his own private
rapture. In Song of Solomon 2:8-10
(KJV), we read the glorious story of the Bride, a type of the Church,
being called “up and away” by her Beloved, who is “looking down” through
the lattice work from up above.

But one minute after
this amazing event takes place, a worldwide famine will instantly
transpire. It won’t be a famine of food, it will be a famine of not
being able to have the word of God. Those are the verses we quoted at
the very top of this article. Go back and read them again, and let it
sink it.

Amos is one of my favorite OT prophets,
God gives him an amazing set of revelations and visions. Historically,
Amos was a peer with Hosea, and he came after Joel. He prophesied
judgment on Israel at the hands of the Assyrian army, which absolutely
came to pass. But if all Amos has to say was simply an accounting of God
judging Israel, it would have limited application for us today. But the
prophecy of Amos, like most prophecy, has a double application. It
applied to the Israel then, and it will apply to Israel in the time of
Jacob’s trouble, after the Rapture of the Church.

WHO ARE THE 144,000 SERVANTS OF GOD IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?

Back in March, we did an article entitled “The Book Of Amos Reveals Amazing Insight Into The Time Of Jacob’s Trouble And The Battle Of Armageddon“,
and it would behoove you to take a moment and read it now if you have
not already done so. Today, I want to bring to your attention another
aspect of what life in the time of Jacob’s trouble will be like.

And it’s not a pretty picture.

One minute after the Rapture of the Church takes place, the entire Body of Christ is removed from off the Earth and taken to meet Jesus in the clouds, as we see here:

“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. 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: 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. Wherefore comfort one
another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 (KJV)

Comforting words indeed, for us, but what about for those left behind?

After the Church is removed,
the Bible becomes a closed Book. I say this because even though the
world will still be filled with Bibles, physically, there will not
remain even one person anywhere on the globe who can understand it. No
one. The unsaved or “natural man” is not capable of understanding God’s
word because they don’t have the Holy Spirit in them.

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV)

IF YOU’RE LEFT BEHIND AFTER THE PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH, YOU MAY NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO GET SAVED

The God-approved method of unsaved sinners getting saved
and learning the Bible has always been through the ministry of already
saved Christians who know the Bible. We see this illustrated beautifully
in Acts 8 with the salvation of the Ethiopian eunuch.

“And Philip ran thither to him,
and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou
what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide
me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. The
place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to
the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not
his mouth:…Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same
scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.” Acts 8:30-32,35 (KJV)

The eunuch has Phillip sent to him by God for Bible study, but one minute after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church, all the ‘Phillips’ will be gone. Movies like Left Behind and others
like to show people who, after realizing thier loved ones were taken in
the Rapture, picking up theirs Bibles to read them and get saved. But
how can they do that if there are no more saved Christians in the world
to teach them the Bible? Not only that, Paul says that people who reject
the gospel of the grace of God in the days before the Rapture of the
Church get tagged with the “strong delusion” so they believe the lie of
Antichrist instead of the truth. Don’t believe me? Read it:

“And
then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with
the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his
coming: Even him, whose coming is after the
working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with
all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they
received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for
this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe
a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but
had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 (KJV)

See that?
The people left behind are boxed in on all sides. They can’t understand
the Bible, there are no Christians to witness to them, and God sends
them a strong delusion to guarantee they will fall for a lie.

“Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the
land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the
words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the
north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of
the LORD, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.” Amos 8:11-13 (KJV)

This is the famine for hearing the word of God that Amos saw, and it is truly terrifying.

My soul thrills whenever I think about
the coming Pretribulation Rapture of the Church, and what a glorious
moment that shall be. But when I think about what life will be like for
those left behind, it becomes heartbreaking to contemplate. Imagine
people’s very souls drying up because there won’t be any nourishment
from the Bible to feed them, and worse, there won’t even be the chance
that they will somehow “figure it out”.

God in His mercy sends the 144,000 Witnesses
to teach and preach the Bible one last time, and to open people’s eyes
to the truth one last time. But oh, at what a price does it finally
come. You have to successfully resist taking the Mark, resist
worshipping the image or name of the Antichrist, and if you are found
with a Bible you are put to death immediately. Whew! No thank you,
please have me excused from that mess.

Job, a type of the Jews in the time of Jacob’s trouble, said that the word of God was more than his “necessary food” in Job 23:12 (KJV).

Feast on it while you still can.
