Is there a judgement and rapture?

---

Matt. 24:11 “Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” 1 Pet.4:17 “For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 Now “If the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?” 19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.” Dan. 7:9 “I watched till thrones were put in place, And the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, And the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, Its wheels a burning fire; 10 A fiery stream issued And came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, And the books were opened.” Here we have the support that Judgement starts when the small horn power is in control and eventually fails. Do you understand Daniel 7-9 in terms of the time prophecies? Did God miraculously raptured Noah and his seven family members, or did he protect them through the flood? Did God protect Israel in Egypt from the 10 plagues or did he rapture them from Egypt? Were there not Egyptians who believed and Jews together in the crisis? Matt. 24:4 “And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. One only prepares for something that you know about! Consider this; is Satan not brilliantly sly in his ability to sell a concept to Christians, that they will be raptured before the trials and tribulations. In this manner, he ensures that they don’t prepare for this time of trouble. It is critical that we keep in mind, always, that Christ’s conduct is very predictable, and the way He managed certain circumstances in history is how He remains His modus operandi … Forever! Heb.13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Jesus does not change, and the God of the OT is the God of the NT.
