The Rapture / Arpazō

Updated: Sep 7

Quick one from us folks. Something that needs to be addressed. The English might be lacking in some parts of this as it was written not long ago, but this needs to get out. Make sure to share this one as there are people that have not been fully educated on this so-called Rapture event. Anyone on social media will have seen this latest craze, the Rapture is happening on the 23-24 September. People should not be surprised because this rootless fear-mongering does indeed come every year. We are here to tell you NO, we do not think "it" is happening at that time. The Rapture as an event itself, is not something we believe is not even described and interpreted correctly. It is simply a misunderstood word. And furthermore, it is an addition to Scripture, which is punishable by Law as written in the books of Moses. And this addition and reading into Scripture has raised up churches around an interpretation of one single word.


Now, there are so so many Scriptures we could quote of things we believe has not happened yet, things that must happen, before the end will come. This is not the end folks. And for us to even get involved in contemporary eschatology is unlike our style we admit, as these waters are very much areas we stay far away from. Because they are not conducive for research, and social media created events like these should not be taken seriously. We only feel urged to mention it because well, there may be a plan to take out large electricity grids and to shut down the Internet. This is all in connection with other world wide plans, digital currencies and those 2020-2030 agendas. We will not go to much in to them here, but the planned timelines are all on the web and people can find them on their own. Roadmaps for coming Diseases, vaccines filled with all kinds of things and several economic resets. Digital IDs, project blue beam, a popular rise and surge of countries starting to use digital currencies, then the all familiar MARK will become the next topic. And my oh my what a Topic that will be. Anyways, its all there online, detailed plans for each continent. We cannot really go into much here because well even less people will frequent our sites if we do, and as we may even be totally shaddow-banned, so we will just leave the research up to you. Oh, family please download and use Brave browser, use private search tab, that way you wont be tracked to much. At least for now.


Now, back to people spurring such things as the 3 days of darkness are happening in but a few weeks. Can good things come from such prophecies? Well sure, people tend to repent. That is good. However, is it a true repentance? Thats another topic. The prophets or should we say people that spew this should however be disbarred from ever being able to speak in public as their words have fallen flat on the ground. Spreading fear and having no root, comfort or peace in Christ words. They are the ones that yell there is a lion in the streets. When there indeed is no lion there, just misplaced fear.

Guys the Rapture does not exist in any of the early Southern African Bibles, but in the American Bibles after 1830s there are plenty of eschatology built around that one word. Rapture. The Great Snatching away. The origins can be traces to a an Edward Irving (1792-1834) that came out of a Catholic High Church with the speaking in gibberish tongues and so-called charismatic. These are the humble beginnings of Pentecostalism. Then comes John Darby (1800-1899) with his secret rapture, supplanted by Dwight L. Moody (1837-1899) with further refining of the rapture doctrine, with more dispensationalism doctrine.  We have other men like Cyrus Scofield (1843-1921) that added Christs Matthew 24 with the heading Jesus predicts the Rapture, which is quite the addition. Then came Lewis S. Chafer (1871-1952) that took the dispensationalists even further, and it all culminates in the Hollywood Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye (1926-2007). All this has given birth to a branch called dispensationalism, which is even more confusion, a full doctrine of how "god" speaks to us during certain times, all built upon one word misinterpreted. Haibo. It truly is the blind leading the blind. They are bound to fall into a ditch. Lets throw down a rope so some can get out. This is a Babylonian teaching from Babylon. Before these clergy and popular writers mentioned here, no one single person from the before the 1800s had ANY understanding of the rapture. It is a new phenomenon in the western world. Now it has become a Hollywood creation upon all the sudden it being empty streets, some went to heaven and the rest stayed behind. Lets get into it !


The word in the original Koine Greek is ἁρπαγησόμεθα (arpagēsometha) which means something like we shall be caught up or we shall be taken away. These words are from the word arpazō (ἁρπάζω) which we can find in Acts 8,39:

39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of SoNiNi suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

And then in 2 Corinthians 12,2-4:

2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. 3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— 4 was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.

Here it simply says Paul was, indeed caught up in the Spirit and this has happened to the person writing to you also. When you get taken up in Spirit it fells like you are taken up into higher realms, either carried by wings or flying on your own. Depends of your chariot / wings. Anyways, this verse from Paul is a description of that, how you travel when in the Spirit. You are quite literally taken out of your body, just like when you sleep and dream. There is another mention in Revelation of someone being taken up, it is slim but its part of what these Rapture theologians cling to (Revelation 12,5):

5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron sceptre.” And her child was snatched up to SoNiNi and to his throne.

Again here is a snatching or taking away. This is the only mention of the Rapture in Revelation, and you would think if this was something Christ wanted us to be aware of He would indeed have told us more clearly. If the Rapture and the Day of SoNiNi is the same event. It would be the easiest to just tell us. He predicted just every single thing we would experience up until now why leave this part out or up for interpretation? We do not think He did leave it for us to interpret. What these people essentially have to go, that the rapture is built upon, is the verses in Matthew 24,36-44:

36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day SoNiNi naNiNi will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

There is also a version in Luke chapter 17. Now here it is talking about the righteous being raptured or taken from the earth, while the wicked are left behind to feel the wrath of SoNiNis judgement. Although there is a lot of reading into these verses here, there is no mention of the nature behind the people being taken away. Though before Christ says that upon His return it will be like the days of Noah. And in the days of Noah the People left behind on the boat where saved and all others perished. The wicked where swept away by the ocean. So we see here the righteous were left behind on earth to live. And again we can find examples in Scripture in the Exile to Babylon. The ones taken into exile where judged, and the ones who stayed behind, the remnant, received grace.


Now in 1. Thessaloniki, Paul is talking more about what he has seen related to end time things (1. Thessalonians 4,13-18):

13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Christ died and rose again, and so we believe that SoNiNi will bring with Christ those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to SoNiNi’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of SoNiNi naNiNi, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For SoNiNi himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of SoNiNi, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet SoNiNi in the air. And so we will be with SoNiNi naNiNi forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

So believers who have died and those who are still alive will be caught up or brought up from where they are (in Spirit not mortal flesh), to meet SoNiNi in the air. This is supposed to refer to the rapture and meeting "Jesus" in the air. This verse talks about so so much more. People that have already died will rise up on that day. Nothing to do with some people just being beamed up like into a space ship. It will not happen like that. This event is something none will miss. The trumpet is blown for all to hear, not a secret event where people just go missing. It will not go down like that. The dead will literally be resurrected and be joined in with those that are alive and also going up into the clouds to meet SoNiNi and Christ as they and Jerusalem move closer to earth.


Rapture eschatologist also like to use this Scripture, as some kind of proof for the rapture, rather is shows us something else, 1. Corinthians 15,50-54:

50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of SoNiNi, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

These are beautiful words that are talking about something to come. No more death people. Not at all an event where some people will leave and others stay behind. This is a description of the Heavens as having its great moving-in party, and likely the old earth will pass away with all that are left in it. This Scripture has no connection whatsoever to the Rapture or whatever the Rapture really is, but is describing what things will look like in the Heavenly realms. Again different event, different timeline. This is about resurrection and transformation in the next life. Now if the rapture was a significant event then we would read about in more then 3 rather vague passages.


Furthermore, Scripture makes it so so clear that the main event of the return of Christ coming on the clouds of heaven, will happen when no one expects it. and it will be seen by everyone (Matthew 24,22-29):

22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days: “‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’

We see here remarks about being aware of false prophets, and one who gives false information is a false prophet. The rapture theory is coming from false prophets left right and centre. And look it says that even great wonders they will produce, like an image in the sky (project blue beam). We can see that Christ says that people will come, especially one claiming to be Christ in the Wilderness. How many will that one lead astray. we must be on guard against that.


There is more 1. Corinthians 15,50-52:

50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of SoNiNi, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of SoNiNi. We will all be given light bodies, walking in white robes (without stains and bad seeds in the heart). We will go to that mountain singing those old songs, all of us bearing gifts (our most precious gifts), bowing down to give before His feet.


Now, none of us should go into times and dates, well because Paul told us a head of time in 1. Thessalonians 5,1-2:

Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of SoNiNi will come like a thief in the night.

And again in 2. Peter 3,10:

10 But the day of SoNiNi will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.

With both Paul and Peter laying it down, why are we still setting dates? In the Rapture theory, all believers are raptured, and then Christ comes back after seven years. We are not on board with any of this. None of it holds water when you scrutinise it. And look at every Biblical case or event where people have been judged, they were removed from this earth. People of the flood were destroyed in judgement, but Noah and his family were preserved. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed in sever judgement, but Lot and his family were preserved. The Egyptians were destroyed in harsh judgment, the Ancient Israelites were spared and preserved on the earth. The Rebellious Israelites were destroyed in the wilderness, the faithful were preserved. Jericho was destroyed in judgement, while Rahab and her family were preserved. Israel and Juda was taken and destroyed during the reigns of the Kings, by Assyrians and Babylonians, though a faithful remnant were preserved. This is the pattern, so we should seek to be preserved, not raptured into the Sky in our flesh bodies before things go down like they are supposed to go down. People are wanting and asking for the wrongs things, and ask enough and SoNiNi might even give it to you.


So much so is the focus on this time - we think there might even be a judgement coming, one that could even be vaccine related. SoNiNi did not want people to inject themselves with DNA changing substances. And the spin will be that people, if they do disappear or something happens to them on mass, they all got raptured or something like that. And so (we) the sinners are left behind, according to them. Are you following this. What if 50 million people fall over from heart attacks, people are going to need to blame it on something or explain it somehow right? We are not saying this is how it is going to go down, but people need to keep their wits about them. There are dark things being planned in the shadows. We should prepare for worst case scenarios, so that we are not caught by surprise.


So keeping most of this in mind, if they take the power and internet in September or October, or even sometime later. Followed by years and events of disease, lockdown or mass illness. Or all of the above. Ungesabi lutho, Remember these events that might be coming are certainly not that Great and Terrible of SoNiNi as spoken by the Prophets of Old. There is to much Scripture unfulfilled yet. The fruit is indeed not yet ripen, still to green. Go, read and remember the vivid descriptions given by Ezekiel and Isaiah (and others), they all give the feeling of that Day of SoNiNi being the very last of days. He will come like a thief in the night. Just like He said, unannounced. However, be as prepared as you can for the preplanned things of men. And they tend to announce their mischiefs, to see the reactions of the people. Then they make their calculated moves. See, we have all been told ahead of time by Christ, so let us remain calm and prepare.
