A GUIDE

To Those Who Are Left To Go Through The Great Tribulation

AFTER THE RAPTURE

Of The True Church

Many true Christians are deeply concerned about those who will be left to

suffer in the "great tribulation" after the Lord Jesus Christ has called His

true Church to meet Him in the air. This meeting is referred to as the

rapture.

We do not believe in a second chance, but we do believe that salvation will be

offered to a person until his death. The opportunity of salvation during the

tribulation is merely a continuation of the present opportunity now offered to

accept the Lord Jesus as Saviour. Faith in the atoning work of Christ is the

only hope for lost humanity, sold under sin, either before or after the

rapture.

This message is especially for those who are left in the great tribulation

(Matt. 24:21), and its object is to bear witness that the Scriptures teach

that even then many will be saved by giving their lives as martyrs (Rev.

7:13,14) and will escape the final doom of the eternal lake of fire (Rev.

20:15).

TO THOSE WHO ARE LEFT:

THE GREAT EVENT foretold in the Holy scriptures (the Bible) and which is

believed and taught by the evangelical and true blood-bought body of Christ

concerning "the rapture of the Church of the living God" from this earth to

glory HAS TAKEN PLACE. Both the living believers and the dead in Christ (who

have been raised from the dead) have been caught up to meet the Lord in the

air, in accordance with the following Scriptures:

"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, md 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" I Thessalonians 4:15-17.

Now that the true Church (all believers and followers of the Lord Jesus

Christ) have been taken from the earth, the powers of Satan will have full

sway, and the terrible, indescribable tribulation will take place during which

the inhabitants of the earth (Jew and Gentile) will suffer much.

To live for Christ now, under the reign of the antichrist, and to confess

Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, that you may escape the eternal damnation of

hell, may cost you your very life. But salvation is still promised to those

who endure to the very end (Matt. 24:13).

Those who are saved out of the great tribulation are described in Rev 7:14 as

having 'washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

Your robes are stained with UNBELIEF, WORLDLINESS, PLEASURE-SEEKING and OTHER

SINS. Separate yourself unto God absolutely, and seek cleansing by believing

in the blood of Christ which was shed on Calvary for the remission of sin

(John 3:16). "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be

saved" (Rom. 10:13).

Study your Bible earnestly while you have it, and memorize as much as possible

before it is taken from you.

The antichrist will be the great world dictator; he will compel men to wear

his mark, and worship him and his image.

REFUSE THE MARK and REFUSE TO WORSHIP THE ANTICHRIST or his image at any cost

(Rev. 13:15-17). It is better to suffer for a little while, now and soon be

with Christ, than to escape suffering by yielding to the beast and suffer the

torments of hell forever (Rev. 14:11).

Be of good courage. Hold fast to the Word of God. Be kind to the Jew. "He that

shall ENDURE unto the end, the same shall be saved" (Matt. 24:13).

Perhaps even now as you are reading this tract the rapture is history, and you

are left.

If so look to Him, Jesus Christ, for the strength and courage to suffer for

Him, for He suffered for you even unto death.

The Bible bears testimony that during this period you can neither buy nor sell

without the mark of the beast, and this will bring great suffering and death

to those who refuse the mark. BUT HE THAT RECEIVES THE MARK IS ETERNALLY

DAMNED, AND THE WRATH OF THE LIVING GOD ABIDES ON HIM."

Whether the RAPTURE has taken place or is still future when you read this

message.

ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST NOW as your personal Saviour, by believing that He died

and shed His blood for you. Surrender wholly to Him.

"Ye must be born again" John 3:7

"Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the

remission of sins" Acts 2:38.

"If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (as Saviour), and shalt

believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be

saved" Romans 10:9.

"And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are

arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou

knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great

tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of

the Lamb" Rev. 13-15.
