Whan will be the rapture of the Church and the coming of Christ?
- I believe in the possibility of this happening at the beginning of the 
Third millenium (the XXi st century).

Are there signs of the rapture of the Church and the coming of Christ?
- Yes! 100 signs in this apostil.

If God warned noah about the flood why he wouldn't warn the world about the
Epoch (the beginning  of the third millenium - the XXi st century) when the 
Evangelical Christians (believers) will be raptured from the earth?

The AntiChrist, the best and the false prophet are  already in the world?
- It seems to be true, they are here waiting the moment to manifest 
themselves.

The sign. The name of the beast, the number of the Beast(666), the image of
the Beastwill be used someday?
- Yes! In the great tribulation that will happen after the rapture of the
Church.

And the inhabitants of the window 10/40?
- There's the possibility to be saved in the great tribulation because thet
Don't worship the image of the beast.

And the future of the nation of israel?
- Everything shows that the AntiChrist will pretend to be friend of  the 
Jewish people but at the half of the pact the AntiChrist will break this
pact. So he will join morre 75 %  of the nations to war against israel. Only
the arriving of the  jewish messiah on the clouds will free israel from the 
total destruction.

is the AntiChrist already on the earth?

Why he didn't manifest himself yet?

The Church of Jesus Christ lives in the sixth dispensation; the desire of 
Jesus is that, it remained here eternally or it is finishing its time to be
on earth?

Will the Church of Jesus be the bride forever? Or it will be coming the time
of the lamb's wedding?

Will the bride be ignorant of the coming of the bridegroom or she will be 
warned?
- See, Mattew 25:6.

Will the window 10/40 be reached before or after the rapture of the Church?
- There is the possibility tobe reached in the great tribulation.

Will the great  crowd of saved people of the  revelation 7:9 refer to the 
window 10/40?
- Everything shows that is true.

Will God be letting: asia, middle east, africa, after the rapture?
- May be?

Everything shows taht the americas (north - south - and central) won't 
betarget of evangelization at the beginning of Christianity by the reasom
that they didn't be discovered yet. Now,  perhaps the window 10/40 is being
reserved to another process in God's agenda, after the rapture of the Church.

We believe that we are delivering a prophetical message that will awake, the
Evangelical Church in the world and  it with serve as a compass to mankid 
take a position with the creator, in this end of epoch, and beginning of the
third millenium.

And the two witnesses of the revelation perhaps will be two representatives
of the world monotheism (a jew and an arabian)?
- It's a true possibility.

Will Abraham's descendants worship the image of the  AntiChrist?
- I believe that neither one nor the other be idolater to bow down in front
of the image of the beast: neither jew, neither arabian, neither the 
ethno/people descendant from Abraham with Keturah, neither the true Chris-
tians (evangelical and protestants) - Genesis 23:2-19; 25:1-2.

Observation:

Descendants of Abraham:

Abraham had four descents:

Three descents in the blood/physical
Happened in the old testament:

With Sarah o begat isaac - born the jewish people, the israel in flesh.
With Hagar - begat ishmael - born the arabian people.
With Keturah (second wedding after Sarah's death) - begat Zinrah, Jocsan,
Medan, Midian, Jisbach and Suah. These descents constitute peoples/ethnos 
unknown ( we believe that these peoples won't worship the image of the 
Beast,too).

One descent in spirit
Written in the new testament
Through hos descedant - Jesus Christ, through the Holy Gihost originated the
Evangelical/protestant  Church which means the spiritual israel 
- Genesis 3:15.

Note 1:  the descent of Abraham has been truly numerous as the stars in 
Heaven and it will be still miore numerous

Note 2:   the islam seems to be a spiritual descent of Abraham, too 
(Abraham: ibrahim in arabic).

Observations:

1 -  the expressions "at the beginning of the third millenium"and  "the XXI 
is century" don't mean an affirmative but they intend just shoe possibility.

2 - the sign of "more or less" (+ -) means: "approximately"ou "near". This 
means that it  can be more or it can be less.


   The rapture of the  Church and the coming of Christ are two biblical 
prophecies that will be happening in a short space of time. Many evangelicals
and different people think we won't wnow  the epoch of these events and for
this reason they live in an idle way and they don't worry about these 
prophecies. 
   The lord Jesus Christ emphasized these doctrines and exhortedus to be
ready to these events that will be executed at last. People say that the
Bible doesn't reveal the epoch of these events, so they don't worry about
studying God's word regarding  to this odd and blessed subject. The biblical
eschatology is useful to study the doctrines of the last things and to give
a position to us regarding to the future happening. The rapture of the
Church and the coming of Jesus Christ are two future and  next things, 
deserving our attention, zeal and expectancy.
   We let some verses that prove these doctrines very much shown on the pages
of the Bible what means "The rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ and the
coming of Christ":
   John 14:3... "and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again,
and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also".
   Hebrews 9:28... "shall he appear the second time unto them that look for
him, without sin, unto salvation".
   I Thessalonians 4:15-17  "...we which are alive and remain unto the 
coming of the Lord ... Shall be caught up together with them in the clousd 
to meet the Lord in the air...".
   I Corinthians 15:51-52-53... "behold, I shew you a mistery; we shall not
all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at last trump:  for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be 
raised incorruptible, and we shallbe changed ... And this mortal must put on
immortality".
   Hebrews 11:5  "... By faith enoch was translated, that he should not see
death; and was not found, because God had translated him...".
   II Kings 2:10-11  "...Elijah answered: you asked a difficult thing.If you
saw me when you where took by yourself so it will be... Walking and speaking
suddenly  a chariot of fire and horses of fire, separated each other and
Elijah rose up to the heaven in a whirlwind".
   II Peter 3:4  "... And saying, where is the promise of his coming?" 
   Revelation 22:12  "...and behold, I come quickly..".
   Mattew  24:3  "...tell us, when shall these be?  And what shall be the 
sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?".
   Revelation  22:20  "...he which testifieth these things saith, surely I
come quickly.  Amen. Even so, come lord Jesus". 
   So, the Bible is very rich in texts that speak about the rapture of the
Church an the coming of Christ.
   It's  almost two thousand years of history of Jesus Christ's  Church os
Earth and with the coming of the third millenium we must think really about
the events that will mark the end of times to all mankind, specially the
rapture of the Church and the coming of Christ.
   Bible give us a great number of references about these events and others
eschatological occurrances that come first, will be together and will follow
the same, if we examine the scripture for this reason we invite you to 
meditate with us with open  heart and in prayer and reverence to receive 
God's  orientation on this so important subject. We know that he will guide
us because  so it's written: "surely the lord God won't do anything without
revealing his  secrets to his servants, the prophets (Amos 3:7) and so:
call me and  I will answer you, I will show you great and hidden things  
that you  don't know (Jeremiah 33:3) the lord said: I will hide from  
Abraham what  I do ...? (Genesis 18:17). The secrete of the lord is to 
people who  fear him, he will let them know his... (Psalm 25:14).
   The succession of lord events in perfect  conformity with the 
eschatological biblical sayings lead us to  conclude surely that the rapture
of the Church and the coming of Christ is near. We, that  constitute the
Church of lord Jesus, can't be indifferent to this  circunstamce or we can
be put in risk of  being unprepared and  sinners by omission.  We must trust
the promise of our lord Jesus Christ in John  16:13 "... Howbeit  when he,
the spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall
not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hearr, that shall he speak: and
he will shew you things to come". So, beloved friends, don't be afraid, but 
with zeal and confidence let's examine the Holy scriptures to be  prepared 
and wait with joy the glorious day of the rapture of the Church.
   One of the riggest signs of the rapture of the Church and the coming of 
Christ is the jewish state. (the israeli nation) matthew 24:32-33-34 - "Now
learn a parable of the  fig tree, when his branch is yet tender, and putteth
forth leaves, ye know  that summer is nigh. So likewise ye, when ye shall 
see all these things, know that is near, even at the doors. Vericy I say unto
you, this generation shall not pass not pass, till all these things be 
fulfilled". (in may, 14 or 15, 1948 this text happened or this prophecy 
succeed. We mean: the germination of the fig-tree).
   Luke 13:6-7-8-9. So Jesus spake this parable: "a certain man  had a fig
tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit therean and found
none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, behold, these three
years I come seeking fruit on  this fig tree, and find none: cut it down!
Why cumbereth it the ground? And he answering said unto him, lord, let it 
alone this  year also, till i shall dig about it and dung it:  and  if it
bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down".   
   Matthew 21:18 to 20 - "now in the morning as he returned into the city,
he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it , and 
found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto  it, let no fruit grow
on thee henceforward for ever, and presently the  fig tree withered away...
They marveled saying: how soon is the  fig tree withered away? "in august,
10 of the year 70. Executed this text or this prophecy. The Israel fig tree
was cut down of the communion with God").
   Matthew 21:43-45  therefore say I unto you, the kingdom of God shall be 
taken from you and given to a nation (Christian evangelical chucch) bringing
forth the fruits thereof. And when the chief  priests and pharisees had heard
his parables, they perceived that he spake  of them (of the Israeli Nation).
   We perceive, beloved brothers,that the fig tree was and is the Israeli 
Nation. The fig tree what means israel was cut down because dion't give the 
fruits wished by the eternal father. For more than  reject the father's 
messenger. 
   (His son) they killed him. Then God took off the ministry of annowcing 
the kingdom of God fromm the hands of the jews and delivered it to the Holy 
Nation that is the body of Christ (evangelical Christian Church).
   John the baptist had preached and exhorted the jewish people that the 
tree that coldn't give fruit would be cut down: "the axe is to  the root
of the trees and every  tree that doesn't give good fruit  will be cut 
down..." 
   Then, israel was cut down from the  communion with God about august,
10, 70 A.D. a roman general invaded jerusalem/israel and burnt with fire the
temple and destroyed/burnt the city and the jews were sold as slaves and 
divided among the nations  (their nickname was: jews without mothrland).
Israel was really cut down which means, the fig tree was dry and it was cut 
down. But don't forgetthat still divided among nations and without 
lands/territories, the root of the fig tree remained on earth (God cut down
the fig tree but didn't dig up the root). Prophet daniel had prophesied: 
"After the sixty-two weeks will be cut the anoited (Jesus) and  won't be 
more, and the prince's people that will come (the romans) will destroy the
city and the sanctuary. Their end will be like a flood: till the end there
will  be war. And it was determinated devastations" - daniel 9:26.
   For this reason in 1948 the root of the fig tree grew up when  the un 
(united nations) recognized the  right of israel to  return to its lands. 
and the jewish people that was without motherland since 70 a.d. returned to
their sweet land. Don't forget that Jesus prophesied: (look the fig tree) 
because a great sign to his Church  regarding to his coming/rapture is the 
rebirth of israel/fig tree. in isaiah chapter 60:8 and others was prophesied
the returning of israel to  its lands and to jerusalem "who are these persons
flyingas  clouds and  as doves to their nests?" Here is prophesied the 
Returning of the israel's children from the nations where they were sent in 
70 a.d.  crowds of jews returning by airplaine to israel's land (clows,
flying, nests) . Here is another prophesy too. About the invention of thw
airplane (1906) , the jewish people only to their lands after 1900. What 
means after the invention of the airplane because  without this device how
to execute the Prophesy? The chapter 60:8  of the book of the prophet Isaiah
is a prophesy that was executed  and is going on to israel and jerusalem.
   Although Israel or the  fig tree has been growing up an important thing 
didn't happened in 1948. Jerusalem, the capital of israel, wasn't conquered 
in 1948. The jewish people got their land but not their beloved capital.
   Only in 1967 or 19 years after its returning, israel through  the 
lightning war (blitzkrieg) during more or less six days, reconquered  its 
Holy capital - Jerusalem. This is very important to the Church of Christ 
because it was prophesied (when israel won the war against jordan - the old
city was dominated by jordan since 1948 - jerusalem is formed by the old city
and by the new city. Israel just had possession on the old city, now the two
cities are under israeli power - halleluia).  Syria, egypt and lebanon - when
they took possession on jerusalem, the un declared the end of the war. This
war won with a supernatural way,  june 7, 1967, we believe that  angels of 
God were like warriers protecting Israel because the prophesy of Luke 21:24
needed to be executed - the part of the place of the jewish temple construc-
tion wasn't conquered because didn't arrive God's time. This will happen 
after the rapture of the Church of Christ or near it. in this war of 1967,
Yitzhak rabin participed actively (yitzhak rabin, nobel peace prize in 1994
and prime-minister of/israel, killed in an attempt in 1995, november - in his
place as Prime-minister is simon peres - more than 80 countries were repre-
sented in this burial) and it was great the victory of israel because besides
conquer Jerusalem cold city and west wall of jerusalem) conquered: Cisjordan,
Egypt (gaza's belt and sinai peninsula) and  syria (golan heights).
   Luke 21:24 - "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be 
Led away captive into all nations: and jerusalem shall be trodden down of 
the gentiles (pagan nations) uwtil the times of gentils be fulfilled".
   The time of Christ returning and the rapture of the Church/saved, seems
to begin its back cowting since this date because at the beginning of the 
third millenium (XXI st  century) willhappen the rapture of the Church and
the coming of Christ. Note the prophetical conquest of jerusalem by the 
Jewish people after almost 19 centuries. The expression  "Till the end of 
times" reveal that.      
   The time would come and the dewish people will have back their capital 
Jerusalem. ( it was a miracle get back to  jerusalem because the owners had
more war power thaw the jewish  people - the jewish  nation just had 19 
years as a reappered jewish  state).
   And Jesus Christ prophesied that this generation wouldn't pass without 
his people being raptured what means his bride/Church.
