Show: Nowhere to Run
Full Video: The Prewrath Rapture – The Rapture Puzzle Solved with Matthew 24
Date: 4/2/11
Host: Chris White
Notes: Matthew 24:29-31; “tribulation” = “thlipsis” in the Greek; There’s so much confusion about this verse because we have defined this word “tribulation” incorrectly as the wrath of God; If we do that, then we have to pretend this verse isn’t talking about the rapture, even though it’s a mirror image of the famous verse in 1 Thess. 4; This is talking about a great affliction/persecution being cut short by the rapture; Mark 4:16-17; John 16:33; Acts 14:22; Romans 5:3; Romans 8:35; Romans 12:12; We are not going to go through the wrath of God, but to say that we aren’t going to go through “thlipsis” is quite simply unbiblical; There will be great tribulation–a great “thlipsis”–the persecution by the Antichrist that Christ describes, but we are promised that we will be raptured out from the midst of it, just before the Day of the Lord and the wrath of God against the wicked will begin; The wrath of God is poured out on the Day of the Lord; God alone, not the Antichrist, will be exalted on that day; The Day of the Lord is a long period of time–at least 5 months, but probably longer; The sun, moon, and stars sign will precede the Day of the Lord; The rapture and the Day of the Lord are back-to-back events; Imminence is not able to be found in Scripture or the early church

Chris Pinto discusses the true beliefs of the founding fathers with Dr. Future and Tom Bionic on the Future Quake Show…

[Part 19 of an ongoing series. Click here for Part 1.]

Show: Future Quake
Full Podcast: The “True” Faith Of The Founding Fathers, And The Roots And Premises Of “Patriotic” Christianity
Date: 3/22/10
Hosts: Dr. Future & Tom Bionic
Guest: Chris Pinto
Topics: The sacrifice of the saints that have come before us; They endured what they did not for the cause of their own liberty, but for the cause of the gospel; Jesus says “if any man would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me“; The cross is given to a condemned man… it’s the acknowledgment that we are dead to this world; Paul says “I am crucified unto the world, and the world is crucified unto me“–that is the example that millions of saints in centuries past have given us; The documentary “A Lamp in the Dark“; We can see things getting darker and darker in this country; We can see the New World Order/Kingdom of Antichrist emerging day by day on the world scene–prophecy tells us it’s going to happen; Ultimately the only real salvation is eternal in the Lord Jesus Christ; There’s coming a day when all else is behind us and it’s time to suffer for our Lord, and nothing is going to change that; We need to get our hearts ready and be encouraged by the testimony of the saints

[Editor's note: If you have not yet listened to the previous series featuring Charles Cooper (The Great Tribulation: Is Fighting An Option?), I highly recommend you check that out before beginning this new series.]

Regardless of where you stand on the timing of the Rapture, I believe this teaching from Charles Cooper is of utmost importance to the Church today.

For the majority of my life I held to a Pre-Trib Rapture position, but about 9 months ago I began to be challenged on the soundness of the Pre-Trib doctrine. When I started reading the Scriptures with more of a normal, natural, face-value approach I was quite shocked at what I discovered.

One thing I can tell you for certain is that it’s worth your time to look into the Pre-Wrath Rapture perspective. If you aren’t able to dive into a full-blown study of it right away, at least go to the prewrathrapture.com website and subscribe to the email updates. You’ll be sure to get some posts sent your way that will really make you think…

I believe the teaching presented by Mr. Cooper is highly relevant for both current and future generations of believers. Whether you think we will personally face Antichrist or not, the bottom line is that a generation of Christians most certainly will.

Either way, it’s a worthy endeavor to study what the believer’s response to intense persecution should be, both before and during the Great Tribulation. Whether it’s us that goes through it, or some future generation of “tribulation saints”, we need to be speaking and writing about these things so Christians know how to lean upon God, not their own understanding, during the End Times.

This will make more sense as you work through the series, and my hope and prayer is that you’ll stick with it, even if you don’t agree with everything Cooper is saying. This teaching, as with the previous series, is difficult and weighty… but in my own personal experience, blessings abound when you consider what God’s Word has to say about these matters.
