If you are reading this because there has been a mass disappearance of millions of people simultaneously from around the globe then I want to explain to you what has happened. I am writing this in advance as I expect to be one of those who disappear. If however you have found this page and this has not yet happened do read on as it will explain what many Christians expect to happen in the near future.

I’m sure there are already many explanations and theories as to why so many vanished from the earth. Ideas such as “a mass abduction by aliens” is likely to be popular. Another might be “all the problem people have been removed so we can get on without being held back”

If you look at all the lives of all who have disappeared you will find one thing in common to them all. All of them were bible believing Christians. It is also possible that all children under a certain age have also disappeared as they are “below the age of accountability”. This event is known in Christian circles as “the rapture of the church” (or sometimes “the rapture”. It is the case that not all Christians believe in this event and there is much discussion about the timing of this event amongst those who do believe in it.

For the purpose of this post I am assuming a “pre-tribulation” rapture. This means that the rapture occurs before the start of a 7-year period known in the bible and Christian circles as “the tribulation” or “Daniel’s 70th week”. The bible talks of a 7-year period of tribulation – in which there will be a series of judgments on the earth and its inhabitants. These judgements will increase in severity of the 7 years culminating in the second coming of Jesus Christ. You can find details of these in the book of Revelation (the last book in the Bible).

We also know from the Bible that this 7-year period is triggered when a character known as the antichrist will make a 7-year agreement with the nation of Israel. This character called the antichrist is a world leader that will arise shortly before this agreement is made. It is likely that he will become known as a result of the rapture of the church. After about 3 1/2 years he will break the agreement and trigger a set of severe judgements.

I will not go into more details in this post, but rather would encourage you to look directly at the Bible. If this has yet to happen then I would urge you to surrender your life to Jesus before it is too late. If however you are only finding this because of the rapture then I urge you not to surrender to the demands of the arising world leader – no matter how good this person appears to be.
