Events have become very perilous and you are starting to wonder if the minister you trusted with your life is actually wrong about the timing of the Rapture. He said, "...if you don't believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture...you won't get to go..." And you believed him. Now it's becoming clear to you that he was at best...wrong. Should you cave in and take the Mark of the Beast? Some will think "...it can't be the Mark of the Beast...the Pre-Trib Rapture hasn't happened yet". Is this the justification you will use to deny the reality that tough times are ahead? But it looks like the Mark of the Beast...everyone is being forced to take it...but it can't be the Mark of the Beast...I'm going in the Pre-Trib Rapture. What now? This is where we learn about the "Patience of the Saints" and the crucifixion of the Divine Mine and your end time service to God.
You just discovered there is no Pre-Trib Rapture...what now? Why do bad things happen to good people? The world seems slanted that way. We've all seen it happen...the wicked seem to prosper and the people trying to live righteously seem to be rewarded with never-ending problems. The modern Christian is laboring under the false assumption that being called by God means that you will have a worry free and prosperous life. But if you do a basic study of the servants of God you will find a litany of frustration, disappointment, setbacks, and outright confusion. Can you be both inspired by God and be wrong? Can you be chosen by God and suffer great difficulty? It is time we learn the lesson of Rachel.
