The questions on the cover are some you might be asking if you miss the first phase of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to the earth, called THE RAPTURE. WHAT IS THE RAPTURE? This is when Jesus Christ comes for His saints, those who have by faith completely trusted the eternity of their souls to His saving power with nothing else added. “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 arise 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 4:16-17

WILL YOU BE LEFT BEHIND? Those left behind will cry out for help and comfort. Questions will rise in every heart. Where did the “Christians” go? One man, Satan’s soul-incarnate, the antichrist will have all the answers. “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 in truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” II THESSALONIANS 2:9-12 THE GREAT TRIBULATION Peace will reign for 3 1/2 years. Then, in this time called The Great Tribulation in Rev. 7:14, all of God’s judgment will be meted out on this world as Satan’s emissaries, the beast, the antichrist, and the false prophets wreak havoc on mankind. The Second Coming, Fellowship Tract League

Revelation 16 records 7 great judgments poured out on a God-forsaking world and its Satanic leaders! Putrifying painful sores, seas of deadmen’s blood, rivers filled with blood, and the stench of dying aquatic life will plague man and beast. The sun will scorch the flesh of blasphemous man, and then disappear into the blackness of full darkness, as men gnaw their tongues for pain. The Euphrates River is dried up and God sends great earthquakes, tremendous thundering, and lightnings, as huge hail stones pound the remnant of earth’s inhabitants. “It is done”, thunders from heaven as God’s wrath is satisfied. THE SECOND COMING And then, the second phase of Christ’s Second Coming transpires! “… the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.” I THESSALONIANS 3:13b. He comes and defeats the armies of the anti-christ. The Lord Jesus will then reign for 1000 years! You say, “I just can’t believe it. I’ve so many questions.” Let’s allow God’s word to answer them for you. WHEN WILL THE RAPTURE TAKE PLACE? SOON! “… for in such as hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” MATTHEW 24:44b “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” MATTHEW 24:36 The Second Coming, Fellowship Tract League

WILL IT AFFECT ME? YES! “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” MATTHEW 24:40. If you miss the rapture you will be left behind to go through the Great Tribulation, then, as a deluded non-believer, you will end up in hell for all eternity. HOW CAN IT BE TRUE? JESUS SAID SO! “… I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” JOHN 14:3b. Jesus would not lie. He promised to come again, and He will, for those who are ready, THE SAVED. WHAT SHOULD I DO? REPENT-BELIEVE-BE SAVED!! “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sin may be blotted out,” ACTS 3:19a “ … Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” ACTS 16:31b “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” EPHESIANS 2:8.

The Land Promise Josh 21:43 And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. (44) And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. (45) There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

Retention of the Land Was Conditional Josh 23:14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof. (15) Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you. (16) When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

Jesus Intended To Establish An Earthly Kingdom Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Christ Was Rejected And His Plans Foiled John 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. (15) When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. (18) No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

The Church – Planned/Afterthought? Eph 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, (11) According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

The Church – Planned/Afterthought? Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (19) And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

The Church – Planned/Afterthought? Mark 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

The Church – Planned/Afterthought? Mark 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

The Rapture 1 Th. 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. (14) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. (15) 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. (16) 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: (17) 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. (18) Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

The Rapture John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, (29) And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

The Tribulation Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Rev 1:9 (NKJV) I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Jesus and David’s Throne Mat 1:1 (NKJV) The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham: … (12) And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel.

(16) The sons of Jehoiakim were Jeconiah his son and Zedekiah his son. (17) And the sons of Jeconiah were Assir, Shealtiel his son,

Jesus and Coniah Jer. 22:24 As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence; (25) And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. (26) And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die. (27) But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return. (28) Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not? (29) O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. (30) Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.

Jesus and Coniah What About Zedekiak? Ezek 21:25 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, (26) Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. (27) I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.

Jesus Currently Reigns From David’s Throne Acts 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. (30) Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; (31) He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. (32) This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. (33) Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. (34) For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, (35) Until I make thy foes thy footstool. (36) Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Jesus Currently Reigns From David’s Throne Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, (21) Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (22) And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, (23) Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

1000 years? Rev 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (2) And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, (3) And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. (4) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (5) But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
