The Pre-Tribulation Rapture, The Tribulation Period To Come, Judgment On The World & Noah
I always looked at Noah and the Ark as a foreshadowing of the Rapture. Where Noah and his family, the believers are TAKEN and protected from the judgment in the Ark and the unbelievers who died in the flood. I have seen some believers saying that the church will go through the Tribulation because Noah and his family got a protected ride IN THE ARK, ON THE EARTH, through the flood. And they use that as a proof that the Pre-tribulation Rapture is a false teaching.
Now I am seeing this in a different light! Why is Enoch mentioned in the Bible? That question has brought me a huge light bulb about this foreshadowing and has brought me to a place where the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is even more convincing.
. : : First a few points
1. We see in the story of Noah that before the flood was this guy called Enoch who believed in God. This guy was actually Raptured off the planet by God and was seen no more.
2. In Genesis 6, we see that the ‘sons of God’ had children with the human women. Where ever in the Bible we see the phrase ‘sons of God’ it is talking about a being that was CREATED by God at some point as eternal from the moment of their creation. This describes angels perfectly. They were at some point CREATED by God but created to live forever. This caused a hybrid race of beings called the Nephilim. They were not born as pure humans. They were a hybrid and this combining of genes from two different types of beings caused severe evil in the world at that time (Genesis 6:5).
“And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, IT WAS CORRUPT; FOR ALL FLESH HAD CORRUPTED HIS WAY upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end OF ALL FLESH is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence –THROUGH THEM–; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” (Genesis 6:12-13 KJV)
Extreme violence and evil through who? Noah and his family? No. Through “THEM”, through the Nephilim hybrid humans. They kept procreating and the pure humans kept dying off until only Noah and his family were left as pure humans. All the rest were just evil doers continually with extreme violent intent and works. They were no longer human.
God created all creatures on Earth to mate only with their own kind. But satan tried to corrupt all humans to destroy us and to stop the blood line to the Messiah who would save the world from it’s sin problem.
3. Noah and his family is said to be the only humans left on Earth because they were ‘perfect in their generations’ (Genesis 6:9). It reads in Genesis 6 that all flesh had been corrupted (This word generations is actually where we get the word Genetics from today! A light bulb went off. The Bible tells us that during the Tribulation Period that the Antichrist will demand to be worshipped as God and mandate that all receive the Mark Of The Beast or be hunted down, imprisoned and put to death. The Bible shows that this Mark will be required to be able to buy and sell (new global economic system) in the Tribulation Period and hints that it will also be a medical device. A deception upon the whole world which they will be judged for and will end in disaster.
The English translated word “sorceries” from the following passages about the Tribulation Period is the Greek word “pharmakeia” and is Strongs concordance G5331. This Greek word is where today we get the word “Pharmacy” from!
“Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their SORCERIES G5331, nor of their fornication, nor of their THEFTS.” (Rev.9:21 KJV)
Speaking about the destruction of End Time Babylon being destroyed by an asteroid that will strike the ocean near it, we read that it is a judgment on that nation. Why? Because of their deceptive “pharmekeia”. All the nations were deceived and affected by this medical technology which today we would know as an injected material that will reside in the hand/forearm or head. We can already see today that we are headed for this technology. I believe now more than ever that this Mark of The Beast that Antichrist will mandate world wide, will be a medical injection technology or perhaps a medical tattoo technology (which is already being created today – search it out on youtube).
“And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy SORCERIES G5331 WERE ALL NATIONS DECEIVED.” (Rev. 18:21 KJV)
We also see that those who take this mark at one point will be attacked by locust looking creatures that will sting them and cause boils on their body. We also read that those who take this Mark of the Beast will SEEK DEATH but not find it! (Rev. 9:4-6).
Could this Mark of the Beast technology be something that ALTERS THEIR DNA? In Matthew 24, Jesus spoke of the Tribulation Period to come stating that as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be when He returns at the Second coming event (Matthew 24:36-39). We see that during the Tribulation, those who refuse the Mark will be persecuted and put to death. They will refuse an done day the people who took the Mark will be judged and condemned. I also think this is even more significant than that folks! Is there a foreshadowing from Noah’s story that include the Tribulation Period and also the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of Church Age Believers? I think this goes beyond just evil abounding in the world.
4. After the judgment on the unbelieving world is complete, God makes the waters recess and Noah and his family walk off the Ark onto a new cleansed Earth.
I still think the story of what happened with Noah is a foreshadowing of future events in the End Times but now I see it more clearly and in support of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of Church Age believers.
. : : A thought….
- First Enoch was TAKEN by God. He was Raptured. Gone! Never to be found by anyone back in those days! (He is likely one of the 2 Witnesses that God will send in the Tribulation Period as seen in Rev. 11)
- Years and years later, Noah and His family were sealed in the Ark and protected through the judgment flood on Earth.
- The unbelieving world was judged and perished in the flood.
. : : Look At The Foreshadowing!
Enoch represents the Church Age believers Raptured before the Tribulation Period judgment falls. They are taken off Earth before satan indwells the Antichrist and starts changing peoples genetics with the Mark of the Beast medical technology, making them a hybrid human race, no longer pure humans. Evil will abound.
Noah and his family represents Israel in the Tribulation Period. The Unbelieving world in the tribulation period is judged. The survivors are who? The ones that refused the Mark of the Beast medical technology. They will be the only pure humans left.
Christ returns to Earth and His feet land on the Earth, He judges the goats (all who took the Mark of the beast) and puts them to death. The sheep (believers who refused the Mark under great persecution of Antichrist) that survived will now enter the Kingdom Age promised to the Jewish believers in Christ from Old Testament times. This new age on Earth is where we see Christ restore all things, the Earth was cleansed by fire and is renewed and the surviving believers in Christ who refused the mark will have been seen as ‘perfect in their generations’ and refused to worship the Antichrist as god but instead believed on Christ to come.
So Noah’s story does fit a foreshadowing of End Time Events perfectly and in depth, as signs for us that Jesus gave Israel in Matthew 24 when He foretold what will happen in the Tribulation Period and it being as the time of Noah.
When we see Enoch in part of this story who was Raptured off Earth and went with God, That INCLUDES the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of Church Age Saints.
A Personal Note:
I am not an expert in End Time Bible Prophecy. There are those that dedicate their ministry to just the topic of End Time Bible Prophecy. My personal ministry’s main focus is teaching against the false ‘works for salvation’ gospel running rampant in these end times. That said, with 2/3 of Scripture on the topic of Bible Prophecy, I believe it is an important topic that most pulpits are just ignoring. I have learned a lot over the years and still am open to learning more and more on End Time Prophecy.
