Will We Go Through the Tribulation? (Pt. 4)

By Jim Bakker | | Filed in Last Days | Tags: , , , , ,

The word rapture comes from the Latin rapiemur and means “we shall be caught up”.  Although the word rapture does not appear in the Bible, we based our concept of it on a passage in Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, in which he encouraged the believers:

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.  Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.  Therefore comfort one another with these words.  (4:16-18 NASB, emphasis mine).

This catching away of the saints was to take place secretly, at least as far as unbelievers were concerned.  Only believers, it was thought, would be able to witness the appearing of the Lord.  Suddenly, Jesus was to appear for us, and in a twinkling of an eye we would be gone, whisked off the ground to meet the Lord in the sky.  The dead in Christ, believers who had died prior to His coming, would rise first and together we would all meet Him in the air.  From there He would take us to live with Him eternally.  Later, Christ would return again, this time in power and glory to judge the word and set up His eternal kingdom.  Some Christians who agreed on a pretribulational Rapture had more difficulty agreeing on just how much time would elapse before Christ’s final return – some thought it to be after the one thousand years of peace predicted in Revelation 20:3, others thought it might be before that millennium – but all pretrib preachers and teachers were confident of Christ’s final victory over Satan and the Lord’s return for His people.

Many Christians plastered bumper stickers on their cars with slogans such as, “If Jesus comes, this car will be driverless.”  Pastors sometimes quipped, “If the Rapture takes place while I am preaching, you’ll have to get someone else to finish this sermon.”  Christians often joked, “Imagine what a mess it’s going to be when the Rapture occurs – when millions of people don’t show up for work the day after the Rapture because we are all in heaven!”  Those with a more morbid outlook fretted over what would happen to planes being piloted by Christians, or buses being driven by Christians, or patients being operated on by Christian doctors at the moment the Rapture takes place.  Planes spinning out of control, buses careening off highways, and patients left to die on the operating table were part of the down side to the Rapture.

Although most of my pretribulational mentors were relatively unknown, some of the more recognizable names associated with pretribulational Rapture position include C.E. Scofield, whose notes in the Scofield Bible influenced many of the preachers of my generation; Hal Lindsey, whose book The Late Great Planet Earth did much the same for many laypeople; John F. Walvoord, a Dallas Theological Seminary professor whose book The Rapture Question has impacted many who have studied the issue from a more scholarly approach; and Charles C. Ryrie, whose study Bible was one of the best-selling study Bibles in the 1980s.

Will We Go Through the Tribulation? (Pt. 3)

By Jim Bakker | | Filed in Last Days | Tags: , , ,

Believing and expecting the return of Jesus Christ is something most Christians can agree on, but the question that rankles the hearts and minds of many believers – and sometimes even divides Christians into separate camps and denominations – is the issue of whether believers will have to experience some or all of the rough times described in the book of Revelation and other prophetic Scriptures.

Basing their beliefs on information found in the Old Testament book of Daniel and the New Testament book of Revelation, conservative Bible scholars generally concur on the fact that the Great Tribulation will last a total of seven years. During that time the earth will undergo a horrendous time of chaos, including unparalleled earthquakes, floods, famines, pestilences, meteor strikes, and wars. Out of the chaos, rising on a platform of peace and security, will be the Antichrist, a powerful world leader under the direct control of Satan himself. The question is this: will Christians who are alive at that time (which I believe is coming upon us in the near future) escape the Tribulation, or will we have to go through part or all of it? Sincere Christians and intelligent Bible scholars can be found on both sides of the issue, holding to radically different opinions of just when Christ will come and when His church, the body of true believers, will be removed from Earth.

For many years I believed and preached adamantly that Christians would not be here to see the horrors of the Tribulation period. Admittedly, most of my thoughts on the matter were not original; nor were my views arrived at by years of studying the Scriptures and coming to biblically based conclusions. For the most part I simply believed what my mentors had taught, naively accepting their positions as absolute truth. When I continued to teach the things I had heard other sincere men and women of God proclaim – namely, that Jesus was coming back before the seven-year Tribulation, in an event we called the Rapture.

This Generation Will Not Pass…

By Lori Bakker | | Filed in Last Days, Teaching | Tags: , , , ,

Matthew 24 is a passage of Scripture that tells what to look for just before the Lord returns.  Jim preaches from it often.  Right after the Word tells about wars, earthquakes, famines, etc., it says that this generation will not pass away before we see the coming of the Lord. 

What generation?  The generation that is living at the time those things spoken of in Matthew 24 are happening. 

The New Living Bible says it like this:  “I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take place.”

Unless you completely ignore the signs of the times, you must know that we ARE the last generation – it’s not a cliche’, it’s a reality.  We are truly a chosen generation – chosen to occupy this earth and see the Lord coming again in great Glory and Power.

Have you ever thought about why He would choose you and me to be here at this time in history?  Some think we’re here by accident – the product of happenstance.  Yet, those who are truly believers of Jesus Christ know that nothing in this universe is happenstance with our God. 

There are so many scriptures that tell us we are not an accident – we were planned before the foundations of the earth.  Think about that for just a minute.  Before our Creator made the earth that we live on, He knew us and knew we would occupy that earth at this crucial time in the history of the world.

We are a chosen generation.  With that, comes privilege, and with privilege comes responsibility.

Spiritual truths are being revealed every day that herald the Second Coming.  Light is equivalent to truth, and when we receive light or truth we have more responsibilities. So not only do we have more light today, but we also have more accountability.

The more truth that we understand, the more you and I are required to walk in the level of understanding we have been given and to carry that light to others.  That’s why many people will only go so far with God and then they balk at knowing the deeper things.  They know they will be held accountable!  I wouldn’t want to stand before God and tell Him that I refused His gifts because I didn’t want to be accountable for them.  As a matter of fact, there is a parable about that in Matthew 25, and the end of the one who would not use what God had given him wisely – well, let’s just say it doesn’t end well.

In the last generation, God is sending a message of truth to the entire world, and after you receive that message of truth, it draws a line in the sand for you. 

Now in the last generation, Jesus has chosen you to carry the message of truth to a sin-sick world.  Much of this world has so twisted things that they now call evil good, and good evil.  But truth is always the standard bearer in this earth.  The scriptures tell us that when evil comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God will lift up a standard against it.  Will you do it?  Will you be His standard bearer in these Last Days?

There has been so much talk and preaching about a purposeful life – but there is no greater purpose under heaven than to be a standard bearer for the Lord Jesus in these Last Days!

Will We Go Through the Tribulation? (Pt. 2)

Procrastinators, Beware!

Maybe Jesus did not get more specific so we would live with a constant sense of expectation, looking for His soon return.  Clearly that was the message of His story about the ten virgins (Matt. 25:1-13), five of whom were prepared for the bridegroom’s coming and five of whom were not.  Jesus emphasized the point of the story:  “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming” (25:13 NKJV).

God knows that some of us are terrible procrastinators.  We would gladly put off until tomorrow what we should have done yesterday.  On the other hand, my mother always prepared well in advance.  She had a disciplined manner, and my family members could set their clocks and calendars by Mother’s schedule.  She washed clothes on Monday; she ironed on Tuesday.  She bought groceries on Friday.  Her pattern rarely changed.  If we planned a picnic, and something happened that we could not go, my mother cried because her plans had changed.

Perhaps as a reaction to Mother’s rigidity, I have always been just the opposite.  I hate to prepare for trips ahead of time.  An hour (or less) before it is time to go, I will be scouring my clothes closet, tossing shirts, socks, and underwear every which way, trying to figure out what I should pack.  Similarly, if I am preaching at a church, I wait until the last minute before getting dressed, usually arriving just in time to walk onto the platform.

By not telling us the exact time and date of His coming, perhaps Jesus was being especially gracious to procrastinators like me.  If Jesus had given us an exact date for His return, some people would no doubt waste much of their time, talents, and treasures on meaningless or trivial pursuits.  They would wait until the last minute to prepare to meet the King of kings face to face.

When it comes to the Second Coming, we will not read an announcement in the newspaper the day before Christ’s return.  You will not hear an anchorman declare on the evening news, “And tomorrow at five o’clock, Jesus Christ will return to earth in power and glory, with His holy angels, Film at eleven.”

Yet, if you listen carefully, you will hear prophetic “voices in the wilderness” proclaiming the message that Christ’s return is imminent.  It is “gettin’ ready time.”  This is no dress rehearsal, this is the real thing.  Furthermore, we need to fall in love with Jesus now, and not wait until the last minute.  If Jesus really is coming soon, how much more important it is that we get to know Him better, and that we center our lives around the things that are important to Him.

Years ago, an artist painted a scene in which a young woman was standing on a cliff, looking out to sea, her hand shading her eyes as she eagerly scanned the horizon, watching for the first sign of her husband’s returning ship.  Her face is filled with love and desire, as though she is recalling exactly what he had promised her concerning his return and when she might expect to see him again.  As she looks for his ship, she is already preparing a welcome for him in her heart.

Christians who truly love the Lord Jesus will have a similar attitude as we look for signs of His soon appearing.  We should be recalling His every word, studying the Scriptures to help us remember what is important to our loving Lord, scanning the horizon, watching for hints that the time is drawing near, and preparing our hearts in anticipation.

Will We Go Through the Tribulation? (Pt. 1)

By Jim Bakker | | Filed in Last Days, Teaching | Tags: , , , ,

Some dramatic events on God’s calendar must take place before the Lord returns to earth, and many of these are not going to be pretty.  Those Christians who have adopted a materialistic, escapist view of the Christian life may be terribly surprised.

Many of the world crises we are beginning to experience were predicted in the Bible hundreds of years ago.  What is shocking, however, is the rapid-fire speed at which these events are now racing ahead.  Against all odds, the frameworks of the world’s economic, political, and social systems are being shaken and are beginning to crumble.

Before going any further, allow me to make a confession:  I do not understand everything the Bible reveals to us concerning the Second Coming.  I consider myself a student of the Scriptures, but I must admit, I still have questions about many aspects of eschatology, the study of future things.  I do not know when Jesus is coming – it may be in my lifetime or it may not – but I believe He will return to Earth in power and glory, just as He said.

I used to listen in amazement (and sometimes with amusement) to some of the prophecy teachers we hosted at PTL.  With their charts and graphs they would dogmatically teach exactly when the events described in the book of Revelation were going to come to pass.  “This is going to happen, then this will happen, and then will be the Battle of Armageddon…” on and on they would go.  I do not mean to imply that these teachers were insincere in their teaching or unlearned in the Scriptures.  They were godly Bible teachers who felt strongly that they had exceptional insight or an unusual understanding of a complicated message.

Yet the truth is, we do not know when Jesus Christ is going to return.  I can point you to the Scriptures that describe what will happen before His coming; I can (and will in the pages ahead) show you Scriptures that describe His return in power.  But to set a date for His return is not my intention.  Jesus said, “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Mark 13:32 NKJV).  In one of His last statements to His disciples, after the Resurrection and just before He ascended into heaven, Jesus said, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority” (Acts 1:7 NKJV).  For me to give you a play-by-play description of the events scheduled to take place in the future, events whose timing is known only to our heavenly Father, would be the height of presumption on my part.

On the other hand, I do not subscribe to the popular notion that it is impossible for us to know approximately when to expect our Lord’s return.  Many Christians are fond of saying, “I am neither pretribulational or posttribulational.  I am pantribulational.  I just believe it will all pan out in the end.”

That’s a cute (and non-confrontational) way to look at the last days, but it flies in the face of Scripture.  Jesus definitely gave us a lot of information concerning His return and, as I noted previously, numerous signs to watch for, signs indicating that the time of His return is near.

Sometimes I wish Jesus had been more specific in the information He gave to us.  Imagine all the theological arguments He could have prevented if He hand only said, “I am coming back at the beginning of the Tribulation period, or the middle, or the end of the Tribulation.”  Better yet, He could have said, “I am coming back on January 1, 20XX, so be ready.”

Busy, Busy, Busy…

By Lori Bakker | | Filed in Last Days

It’s really unbelievable that so many people are just too busy to pay attention to what the Bible has to say about the Revelation Days!  Even those who are Christian and attend churches regularly seem to have just too much going on to be very bothered at all by what we see and hear in the news or what the occasional preacher may say.  It’s a well-known fact that most Americans believe they’ll never go hungry! 

Oh, how proud we are!  How arrogant are those who have always had more than enough to think it will always be that way!  I’m very concerned about people, even Christians, who think they can ignore the signs of the Last Days.  But the Bible says that it will be this way.  In fact, the Bible says in the Last Days that it will be like in the days of Noah.  In Noah’s days, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, and in essence, carrying on with life as if it would always be that way.  That is… until it started to rain!

Even the ordinary everyday things a woman must do to keep her family going, echo the book of Revelation’s warnings for the End Times.  Have you been grocery shopping lately?  Have you noticed that you can’t get the same things you did six months ago for the same prices!  The prices of food are going up phenomenally!  Feeding Ricky is not easy lately (ha)!   And don’t mention the price of gas! 

Hyper-inflation is directly out of the Book of Revelation!!  Look at Rev 6:5,6  “When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard something that sounded like a voice coming from the middle of the four living creatures. The voice said, “A quart of wheat for a day’s pay, and three quarts of barley for a day’s pay…”

There are some who think that what happened in Japan can’t happen to us… oh people, please read your Bible!

It’s time to unburden your everyday life with the cares of this world, and remember what really matters for you and your family!  Give your family the gift of wisdom!  Prepare your own heart and prepare as much as you can in the natural, and then teach your children and family members to prepare theirs!  Get your house in order!  Jesus is coming soon and THAT should be our priority!

Love,

Lori

The Pressure of the Ages

By Jim Bakker | | Filed in Last Days

In 1997, I traveled to L.A. to appear on the CNN broadcast of Larry King Live.  As we drove from the airport toward the bright lights in the heart of L.A., I experienced one of the strangest sensations of my life.  It was as though my body became a human Geiger counter; I started resonating with the earth deep below Los Angeles.  I began to shake and suddenly, in the Spirit, it was as if I could see down into the earth.  I saw huge boulders, bowed upward and grinding against each other, like one fist pushing against another.

The Lord began to speak to my heart and mind as clearly as if He had called me on the limo’s car phone.  “This is the pressure of the ages,” the Lord revealed to me.  “And it’s about to let go.”  Trembling, I looked out the car window just as we whisked past the beautiful, statuesque skyscrapers in downtown L.A.  It was then that I sensed God speaking to me, words I am reluctant to actually put in print, yet words that have been seared for all eternity into my spirit.

As I stared at the tall buildings, the Lord said to me, “Not one of these buildings will be left standing.  There is going to be an earthquake unlike any other earthquake this area has experienced.  There will be nothing left.”

I shuddered in shock, shaking as if trying to awaken from a bad dream.  But this was no dream and I was fully awake.  As we drove further away from downtown, the sensation subsided, and the Geiger-counter effect stopped.  Looking back, I believe God was impressing upon me once again that I must proclaim this message before it is too late.

~ Excerpt from “Prosperity and the Coming Apocalypse” by Jim Bakker, published in 1998 ~

There are many things shaking in the natural that we can see and feel.  While this natural shaking is going on, there’s a shaking in the spirit world as well.  Though I cannot reveal the entirety of what I have heard from God about this yet, I know that the Church world is going to experience a tremendous shaking very soon that will be very unsettling.  Be strong in your faith – and remember that we must look to God alone for our surety.

All this week, our guest on the show is Rick Joyner.  Rick said up until this point, he has been counseling people not to leave California unless they had a direct word from God to leave.  Now however, Rick said he feels very strongly that people should not stay in California unless they have a direct word from the Lord.  You can imagine the impact of that counsel.  Rick said that he has many who are upset with him about it – but he dare not be afraid to warn them.

It’s time to pay attention to the warnings that a loving God is giving to those who will hear.  It’s time to prepare in your heart and spirit, and in the natural as much as possible.  This is a time like has never been before.  It’s an exciting time because our Lord is coming soon, and we can take comfort in that fact!  But we need to have our “eyes wide open” and be looking for that coming with great expectation.

Love,

Jim

Spiritual Warfare and the End Times

By Lori Bakker | | Filed in Last Days

There are times when I get weary of the battle.  I know the Word says not to be weary in well doing, but I’m not Sister Super Saint and I doubt you are either.  Is it just me, or does it seem like the spiritual battles are getting stronger and closer together in the last few years? 

In Matthew 24, the Lord says that the signs of His coming (wars, earthquakes, signs in the heavens) will get closer and closer together and increase in intensity, like labor pains in a woman that is about to give birth.  I feel like the frequency and the intensity of the spiritual battles are picking up too.  Does anyone else out there feel the same thing?

In ministry, there are always battles to be fought and won.  We are not strangers to the wiles of our enemy, the devil, who does not want the word to go out that JESUS IS COMING SOON!  Our enemy is trying to get us to focus on things that are temporary, not eternal.  The devil will always do whatever he can to steal, kill and destroy everything and everyone that belongs to Jesus.  And the devil is mad – very mad – that his time is short.  But GREATER IS HE THAT IS WITHIN US – than he that is in the world.

Jesus, our Bridegroom, is coming soon – and we, His Bride, the Church, are looking and preparing for His coming!  The Bible tells us to  be ready!  In Matthew Chapter 25, we read about the parable of the ten virgins.  The Bible says that five were ready to meet the Bridegroom and these were called “prudent” or sensible, and five were not ready and these were called “foolish”.

Every single day, the Bible’s prophecies are coming to pass before our very eyes.  I’m convinced that the enemy of our souls is doing his best to distract us with the concerns of this world, so that we will not be focused on our Bridegroom and will not be ready, i.e. “foolish”.

Whatever is happening in your life, whatever mountain you face, whatever circumstance is preying upon your emotions – keep your eyes on the Prize!  We overcome the devil by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.  In Hebrews, Chapter 11, the Bible tells us to recall the times of the faithfulness of our God – the spiritual battles He has brought us through – and every time He worked in our behalf.

The Bible says that God will never, never, never leave you nor forsake you.  He will arise and fight our battles as we praise Him and recall His goodness towards us.  Let’s learn to fight our spiritual battles skillfully – and as Jims says “stop fighting each other.”   

We need your help!  The battles may be great, but the rewards are greater!  When the Church comes together, we are stronger.  One can put a thousand to flight, but two can put ten thousand!  The Lord opened Elisha’s eyes during a battle, to show him that the hills were lined with chariots of fire all around them!  The Lord has not left us alone in the End Times!

Jim and I will continue the fight to tell as many as we can, for as long as we can, that JESUS IS COMING SOON – BE READY!    We need you to help us – fight the good fight of faith!

Love,

Lori

God Remembers Mercy in Judgment

By Jim Bakker | | Filed in Last Days, Prophecy

There is a lot of chatter in the Christian community and even in the secular world about the End Times and whether these natural disasters like Katina, the Haitian earthquake, and the Japan earthquake were the judgment of God or merely the results of a world gone wild. 

Rick Joyner is with us this week, and he emphasized that even in God’s judgment, He always desires to show His mercy.  Romans 2:4 says “Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?”

The Lord always wants to show mercy rather than judgment.  The kindness of God really does lead to repentance.  When Nineveh repented, they averted God’s judgment.  But even when judgment is necessary to bring repentance, God still remembers mercy. 

The economic unraveling is coming and Rick said that it could be a major positive – a jubilee where we can start over.  Hundreds of years after King David lived, God would still do things for Israel for the sake of his servant David because David’s righteousness still had currency with God. 

America still has a foundation of righteousness with God, but we’ve departed from our Godly foundation – departed from righteousness and justice, but the Lord will give us a reset if we repent.  (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Rick went on to say there will be a shaking first.  The economic unraveling is the grace from God to give us a reset where we can start again.  There will be a period of time when our dollar won’t be worth anything, but we have another source.  We have a kingdom that is above all of our natural circumstances and every Christian is going to  have to come to the kingdom.

Rick said he talked to Bob Jones (another Prophet) the Sunday after the big quake hit in Japan, and Bob said  “it’s coming to California.”  This confirms what the Lord showed me in the “31 Things” he gave me in 1999.  When the Lord speaks something like that, He will usually confirm it with two or three witnesses. 

Rick said up until this point, he has been counseling people not to leave California unless they had a direct word from God to leave.  Now however, Rick said he feels very strongly that people should not stay in California unless they have a direct word from the Lord.  You can imagine the impact of that counsel.  Rick said that he has many who are upset with him about it – but he dare not be afraid to warn them.

Why is all this happening?  Is it the judgment of God? 

Many people want to remember only the goodness of God but the Bible says in Romans 11:22 NKJV “Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise you also shall be cut off.”

Rick said that destruction is only one form of judgment, but discipline is up to us in America.  If the church in America wakes up, we can be a blessing to the world if we respond and repent!  That’s right – it’s the CHURCH who needs to repent! 

We have stood by as America has told God we don’t want you anymore – not in public – not in our schools – not in our judicial and government systems, and He is withdrawing His grace from us!

Whom God loves He chastens and  America will be chastened.

Rick reminded us that the Bible says to judge yourself lest ye be judged – fall on the Rock or He will fall on you!  Every one of these events are calls to His people – do it now!  Repent and return to Him, know that God always desires to show His mercy!  Intercede for America, and for the world.

Don’t miss a single show this week.  Together, we can mine the richness of God’s wisdom in all this and be prepared, both spiritually and naturally.

Love,

Jim

The Coming Apocalypse

By Jim Bakker | | Filed in Last Days, Prophecy, Teaching | Tags: , , ,

The signs of the end times are all around us.

The recent earthquake in Japan is presenting an abundance of end-time catastrophes that will ripple through the entire world.  Our country is certain to be impacted by the economic crises these events have triggered.  Already they are closing auto manufacturing plants that are dependent on Japanese supply chains which have broken down.  I believe this earthquake in Japan is going to trigger an economic meltdown worldwide.

A dear friend and prophet, Bob Hartley, brought a message recently about five supernatural waves that will impact our nation, and the first of these is an economic wave.  That wave is about to overtake us!  We must be prepared!

In 1998, my book “PROSPERITY and the COMING APOCALYPSE” was published.  Even as I was in the process of writing the book, I felt like the Lord was saying that although it was noteworthy information for the year 1998, it would be much more received in a future time, a time when people everywhere were seeking answers for the turmoil in our world.  I believe that time is now.  This is not just a book of prophecy, it is a book of survival.  It is available in our online store or by calling 1(888)988-1588.

“PROSPERITY and the COMING APOCALYPSE” addresses such issues as:

  • Why I believe a coming world economic collapse will lead to terrorism and possibly war.
  • How recent weather patterns, violent tornadoes, and earthquakes are just the beginning of a world out of control.
  • When and why meteors will hit the earth, causing massive, unprecedented destruction.
  • What Christians ought to be spending their time, energy, and resources doing in these “last days”.
  • How to have hope in the face of difficult times and survive the coming apocalypse.

In the days ahead, you may be stripped of everything you have ever held dear.  You may lose your money, your home, your material possessions, your career, your spouse or other family members.  Please do not be dismayed.  I have been through the stripping and I can tell you that the Savior will never leave you nor forsake you, no matter how dark or difficult the days ahead.

God will take care of us through the coming apocalypse and beyond!  And we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever!

Love,

Jim
