The 50 Days Between Rapture and the Great Tribulation   

The arrival and departure of the Holy Spirit on the earth are the bookends of the Church Age.  

The Church Age begins with the arrival of God's Holy Spirit (Acts 2). It is the only time God's Holy Spirit permanently indwells living/breathing humans, who by faith, trust in God's Messiah's shed blood for their salvation. The Rapture (the departure of the Holy Spirit from earth) signifies the end of the Church Age.

Prior to the Church Age, the time between Jesus' death on the cross and the arrival of God's Holy Spirit, was 50 days (see graph above). As balanced as God's Word always is, and understanding the incredible importance of the meaning of numbers in scripture, we theorize that there will be another 50 days between Rapture and the beginning of the Tribulation.

In that brief, 50 day, post Church Age period, here is what we think has to happen:

· First God suddenly removes the Holy Spirit Restrainer from the earth (the Rapture, 1Cor 15:50-53; 1Thes 4:13-18). 

· A coalition of countries (Ezek 38:5,6) led by Russia (Gog) and Iran (Persia) "think an evil thought" (Ezek 38:10) and invade Israel for her riches (Ezek 38:12).  

· Israel defeats the invading armies in what sounds like an atomic exchange (Ezek 39:12; Zech 14:12).  

· Israel then takes it a step further. In an attempt to rid herself of those who have continuously been at war with her, she takes the opportunity to begin systematically wiping out the rest of her enemies surrounding her borders (Zech 12:6).  

· This brings humanity to the brink of disaster as the whole world realizes that Israel has God with her.

"And My holy name I shall make known in the midst of My people Israel; and I shall not let My holy name be profaned anymore. And the nations will know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel." Ezek. 39:7

· Out of the smoke and confusion comes the bold voice of a mortal man, a man who will eventually become the Satan-indwelled Antichrist. He outlines a grand plan that will save the world. He will entice Israel to stop the wholesale destruction of her enemies by guaranteeing her peace and safety. He even includes in the framework of the peace treaty the right for her to rebuild the Jewish Temple (Dan 9:27).  

· At the moment Israel inks her signature on the treaty, the last seven years of the 70 Week of Daniel begin.   

That will be one wild 50 day period! 

Isn't Bible prophecy great?

Tom Cloud- Metals Consultant-GA   

· How to Buy Gold without   

  getting ripped off!

· How to Buy Silver without   

  getting ripped off!

It's amazing that tens of thousands of well meaning Christians have called companies advertising on national radio or network television in response to ads offering to sell gold and/or silver. Is gold or silver a good investment? For the long term, probably. But unsuspecting and trusting Christians are usually steered into the gold or silver investments with the highest commissions that may never turn a profit!  

Before you purchase precious metals, watch this DVD! Learn what to buy and what to avoid. Nothing is offered for sale, just the facts! Both Gold and Silver on one DVD, and it's free if you order two or more DVDs. (We will take it off your bill before we charge your card)

Josh McDowell-Josh McDowell Ministries-CA

· Love Is Not A Feeling!

A presentation for the ages! His message on love, romance and keys to longevity, often humorous and often pointed, brings marriage into sharp focus. Let's just say he gets right to the heart of the matter! (Yes, the slide above is from this talk.)   

Funniest Conference Presentation Ever! 

David Moore - Moore on Life Ministries - California

· Why Women are Weird and Men a Mess

Well this is an absolutely must see DVD. In a nutshell, this is the funniest presentation in the history of Steeling the Mind! People were crying they were laughing so hard as Dave showed the quirks of males and females, married, and trying to live together. Married or not, this is a must see! (Note: I learned more about my wife in 45 minutes than I had learned in over 35 years of marriage! - BP)

Mike Gendron

Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries  -  Texas

· False Conversions  

  in the Church!

Yes, there are those pesky little verses that suggest there are false conversions in the church today. Who are these people? What is the difference between a false and true conversion? Mike, doctrinally sound and armed with excellent graphics, delves into a traditionally untouchable subject. Oh dear!

Josh McDowell - Josh McDowell Ministries - California

· Tolerating the Intolerable

This is the proverbial "barn-burner!" Josh, not one to mince words, gives an incredible let-the-fur-fly, tell-it-like-it-is presentation on being used by God in the wild politically correct world in which we live! Josh shows in no uncertain terms that tolerance is NOT Biblical!  

Paul Van Noy - Candlelight - ID

· Problems With  

  Covenant Theology

It's hard to believe but about 80% of all Christians are in churches that embrace some form of A-millennial theology! They teach Israel is not in the future, we're now in the Millennium, and the tribulation has already happened in 70 AD. Really? Paul shows the absurdity with this doctrinal bent and the problems created worldwide. He also gives five good reasons to be pre-millennial, pre-tribulational and dispensational in your umbrella doctrines. Solid stuff!

Eric Barger- Take a Stand Ministries - Texas

· Divorced from  

  the Church

It's happening all across America, even the world. A local church, that has for a long-time defended the inerrant Word of God, changes doctrinal direction almost overnight. Those who oppose the "new direction" are ushered out of the church, or often forced out, by those who were formerly part of their church "family." What is it that is sweeping the world causing good churches to go bad? Eric's presentation will explain it all!

Mike Riddle - Answers in Genesis - Kentucky

· Apologetics and  

  Bible Prophecy

Mike, one of the top two presenters at Answers in Genesis in Kentucky for the last six years, will tie Genesis directly to Revelation! Mike shows that if you don't understand the beginning, you can't understand the end. And if you can't understand the end, you won't understand the beginning. Too cool!

David Moore-Moore on Life Ministries-CA

· Will the Real CEO  

  Please Stand Up!

Dave, using his vast presentation skills, shows what it takes to be a leader.... whether in your house, in business, in church, organizing an event, or even an athletic coach. If you want to lead, or are a leader in any area, this presentation will give you a kick in the pants!

Tom Cloud - Christian Financial Consultant - Georgia

· The Biblical Outline Of A Christian Business  (Plus a stunning precious metals financial update!)

Using a perfect scriptural model in the Bible, Tom outlines the key components of a Christian business. You might call it "God's outline of a business plan." Pretty cool.

And that alone is awesome but Tom also updates his precious metals forecast at the end . . . which could affect most everyone attending! Take it to the bank!

John Loeffler-Steel on Steel National Radio Show  ID  

· The Slow & Painful Shift of American Values

John and his staff probably do more research than anyone on the planet! From his platform on his daily national radio show, he meticulously weaves together the behind-the-scenes maneuvering that is fundamentally changing the way we live, and even the decisions we are allowed to make. This opened a lot of eyes! You will definitely pass this one around!!
