158 DAY OF THE LORD And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. (ZEC 14:12) Jerusalem here refers to the Church, the true Jerusalem rather than the earthly Jerusalem that killed the prophets and stoned those that were sent unto her, and to whom the Lord said, “Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.” (Matt 23:37-38) The people that are fighting against her are Gog and Magog and all the earth that is now gathered around Satan in his final assault on the Church. There was a movie made about what would happen in a Thermo-nuclear war. The movie was actually very well researched, it was called “The Day After.” Any one who had watched that movie will relate to the words “Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.” The Bible even tells us how this massive thermonuclear war will come to pass: And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour. (Zec 14:13) And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man's sword shall be against his brother. (Eze 38:21) What this suggests is that the Lord will cause confusion among the multitude of nations coming to destroy the Church, so that, instead, their weapons shall be deployed against each other. Imagine if all the nuclear warheads that are left in the apostate world would be fired in all directions. That is what these passages suggest to me. The whole earth will be a gigantic ball of fire. The prophet Isaiah gives us the grim result in Isaiah 34:9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
DAY OF THE LORD 159 The elect, of course, will be spared this, since they will be “caught up to meet the Lord in the air” moments before God passes His righteous judgment against the world and the prince of the world. The general resurrection will have to follow so that the judgment takes place. Those who died in Christ will be resurrected first, and will come with the Lord in His second coming. Those who are alive at the Lord’s Parousia will change and will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. The rest of the dead will then be resurrected to be judged. That is why we say that Christ will come to judge the living and the dead. THE HERESY OF THE “LEFT BEHIND”: For 19 centuries, the Church believed that the “rapture” or the snatching of the elect from earth will happen on the great day of the Lord, just before the end of the world. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, a mercenary preacher decided to change this universal understanding of the rapture and substitute it with his own erroneous views. The error spread like fire among many who call themselves “Evangelicals” and millions are now lead astray by this fallacy. Here is what Time Magazine recently wrote about the preacher and his innovation: An Anglican priest turned travelling evangelical preacher named John Nelson Darby, who arrived in the U.S. in 1862 for the first of seven visits, bearing a radical new eschatology. His most striking innovation was the timing of a concept called the ‘Rapture,’ drawn from the Apostle Paul’s prediction that believers would fly up to meet Christ in heaven. Most theologians understood it as part of the Resurrection at time’s very end. Darby repositioned it at the Apocalypse’s very beginning, a small shift with large implications. It spared true believers the Tribulation, leaving the horror to non believers and the doctrinally misled, thus moving Christianity’s us-vs. -them concept of heaven and hell into a new and exciting theatre. 1 1 Time Magazine July 1, 2002
