    1, 2 & 3: God's pattern of Tribulation then Rescue then Wrath from Genesis to Revelation

    4: Day of the LORD

     "what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age ..." the disciples asked Jesus. His reply was direct and in plain language.. "... just as in the days of Noah" and in Luke's Gospel he says "just as in the days of Lot." Note that he said "just as" and not simply "as" which should point our attention sharply to the examples of Noah and Lot. What happened in the days of Noah and Lot in terms of the rescue, rapture or harpazo as it is also called? Simple: in the days of Noah, his family of 8 were rescued just in time before the wrath of God poured out and in the days of Lot ... same. "And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all" (Luke 17:26-27 NASB emphasis mine). What about Lot? "... but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed" (Luke 17:29).  So it will be when the Lord descends in the clouds with his holy angels to rescue his faithful ones, just in time, before he pours out his wrath on the ungodly, just as in the days of Noah and Lot. If you prayerfully and patiently study the scriptures at the links below, this key sign that Jesus foretold should be confirmed to you as our unchanging God has foreordained this pattern of Tribulation, Rescue and Wrath to repeat itself continually from the beginning of history (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8).

    Files have been tested on computers, tablets, smart TVs and hard copy print out. These online resources are intended as an exhortation for those who hunger after God's truth. Go back to the pure word of God for spiritual understanding. With that in mind, every attempt has been made not to impose anything on the text but to present the text in a way that the reader(s) will simply hear what the Bible is saying especially where passages are "singing the same tune" so to speak. Pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance, compare scripture with scripture and draw your own conclusions.

Here's a  Youtube movie that explains this in more detail. But please read it straight from the Bible as well. The outlines below will get you off to a good start.
