Question: You said, 'That because there is no way to look on earth for anyone to rescue us except knowing that the Antichrist is forcing his 666 mark of the beast. So midway through the Daniel 70th week, LORD asks us to look up and also flee away from Jerusalem from where the 666 sealing of the mark of the beast will start. To flee in faith, is to be Raptured....the righteous will live by faith for the Glory of God'
'To flee in faith'... Seriously?
Matthew 24:16-22 KJV, "Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: [17] Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: [18] Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. [19] And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! [20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: [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. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened."
Answer: Judaea is nothing but today's Jerusalem and it's mountainous surroundings, where the third temple is going to be built soon by the deceitful covenant of peace with many nations that Antichrist is going to bring (Dan 9:27). We know that Jesus told the believers to flee to the mountains first in faith, because they can go no further up. I mean, except the Lord intervenes and Rapture them straight in to New Jerusalem of the Father's House. So we know that Jesus told that the time of Rapture will be like in the time of Noah and Lot. In the time of Noah, 8 people of Noah and His family were saved by faith. So also those who with prayer and faith look forward to the Lord's coming to take them into the ark of the Father's House of New Jerusalem through Rapture will be rewarded. Faith with little actions and expectations will help these people escape the Great Tribulation like Noah escaped the worldwide flood that destroyed all humans. And the same applies to Lot and his family, who were all saved from the fire of God's judgment that destroyed the godless people of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Then further Jesus said, "[17] Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: [18] Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes." Those who are in the house tops and fields, looking up with expectation of Rapture to happen soon. These by their works of faith should reject the opportunity to turn aside and look for earthly survival and for taking valuables, thinking with a double mind and unbelief whether Rapture will really happen or not. These with a double mind will reveal to all that they were looking for earthly survival if in case rapture doesn't take place as expected (Acts 5:1-11; Jam 1:2-8). This is a test whether someone is coveting earthly survival and also want the benefits of heavenly reward of Rapture escape and protection from God, they will come to know that a person cannot love both God and mammon of earthly riches (Matt 6:24), thus these people who covet for temporal earthly survival more than heavenly eternal life with God, will become a testimony of salt pillars like the wife of Lot to awaken the left behind world to repent of their violence, evil thoughts and deeds to get right with God and prepare themselves for the Kingdom of God which operates from heaven, and that which is coming upon the whole earth in Power and great Glory (Matt 5:13; Luke 1:37; Zec 13:9; Rev 3:10).
Jesus further said, "[19] And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! [20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: [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. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved." The above verses explains, that just before the Great Tribulation, those women who are pregnant and nursing babies if they are saved, together they will be Raptured, but in case they are unsaved it will be a terrible loss for them during the rapture, as their babies in the womb and as well as in their hands will be part of the rapture, but the maternal mother will have to go through the hardships of Great Tribulation. Woe to mothers who not only lost their babies in rapture, but also in that depression and sorrows will have to go through unprecedented Great Tribulation too! Jesus not only sympathizes for the state of these women who lost their babies through Rapture, but also in empathy has told that if they pray in faith, even the Great Tribulation days will be shortened, or in other words they will be given great grace to overcome it by faith even through martyrdom or living through it for the glory of God to enter in to the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus and the Church!
For every believers, Jesus told these, who liver in the last and final generation before His Millennial rule, that they should be in faith and with much prayer expecting the Rapture, so that they will not be left behind to face the Great Tribulation winter to die as a martyr and be a part of the first Resurrection that happens just before Millennium, and the second that happens just before the end of the Millennium. Or even if they other wise escape through the Great Tribulation untouched by Antichrist to enter in to the Millennial rule of Jesus by the grace of God, to enter in to it physically and multiply their offspring through it to be part of the second resurrection at the end of Sabbath Millennium. Yet in both ways, they as believers who were left behind will have to face the unprecedented Great Tribulation, but through it in faith if they are not martyred by Antichrist but remain hidden some where physically alive on earth to pray through, God has promised to reduce the intensity of tribulation upon these through special angelic protection and giving great grace for the living saints sake, so that they will remain physically alive to enter in to the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus on earth. Hallelujah! Glory...!
Just as Lot was led away from the wrath of God and was made to flee away in faith towards the mountains, so also the Church is expected to flee away from doubt and backsliding heart of unbelief, to expect the Rapture in faith through hope and love, overcome the wrath of God for the Glory of God. Praise the Lord!
