Memorandum
Date: (Unknown)
To: Everyone else
From: Those who have vanished
Re: The truth about what happened
This is to tell you exactly
what is involved in the sudden disappearance of people around
the world. It’s as simple as this: We who belong to
Christ were called into the air above the planet in the rapture.Yes,
that kooky, ridiculous, pie-in-the-sky, fly-away event that
preachers of what you’ve thought of as fantasy have
been proclaiming could happen at any moment did, in fact,
happen. You are hearing, or will soon hear, every conceivable
explanation of what caused this astonishing disappearance.
Here are our guesses as to some of those explanations: It
was some sort of quantum evolutionary leap, which will ultimately
be great for mankind. It was a mass abduction by extraterrestrials
-- an outgrowth of the singular abductions that have been
reported over the years. It was a natural, scientifically
explainable cosmic interaction that some human physiologies
could resist, and others couldn’t. It was a supernatural
movement into a higher form for those who disappeared –an
ascension to godhood. It was punishment from the great cosmogonical
mind, removing the evil from the world.
Don’t believe any of
these or other explanations. To find out the absolute truth
about what the mass vanishing actually involves, read in the
Bible 1
Corinthians 15: 51-55 and 1
Thessalonians 4:13-18. Also read John
14:1-3 to find out where we who vanished are presently
located.
Now that we are gone –
and our leaving has everything to do with your immediate future—the
following will happen in order very similar to that listed
here. These and other events will occur over the next seven
years.
Total chaos will rule for a time.
(Luke
21: 25)
Governments will get control
through sometimes-harsh methods.
(Rev.
17: 12-13)
One world government will come
together.
(Psalm
2: 1-3)
A one-world church will form.
(Rev.
17)
A world leader will step to the
forefront and take charge of the peace process.
(Dan.
9: 26-27)
Israeli government and Israel’s
enemies will sign an agreement of peace that ensures peace
and safety.
(Dan.
9: 27; Isa.
28: 18; 1
Thes. 5: 3)
Peace will not last, as a coalition
of nations--led by Russia--will invade the Middle East.
(Ezek.
38: 1-12)
God, himself, will destroy all
but one-sixth of the invader forces.
(Ezek.
39: 1-5)

by the deadly effects of the invasion. This will possibly
include chemical, biological and nuclear aftereffects.

39: 6-7; 11-16)

his power following the Russian-led coalition’s destruction.

condemning the world’s evil.
(Rev.

Meanwhile, God will put His protection
upon 144,000 Jews who have converted to Christianity so that
they can begin to preach God’s saving message to the
people of the Tribulation.
(Rev.
7: 3-8)
At the same time, God will allow
strong delusion to come over all who heard the Gospel before
the Rapture, but, fully understanding the offer of salvation,
refused to accept Christ. These will believe Antichrist’s
and Satan’s, lies.
(2
Thes. 2: 11-12)
Antichrist, after months of trying,
will finally murder the two Old-Testament-type prophets. But
they will come back to life and be taken into Heaven while
the world watches.

deadly head wound.

Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. He will claim to be God,

all worship to Antichrist, and will erect an image of him.
(Rev.
13: 11-17)
Antichrist’s regime will
institute a computer mark and numbers system. It will be both
to control the world’s populations, and to cause all
to worship Antichrist, whose number in all of this is 666.
(Rev.
13: 16-18)
Those who refuse to accept Antichrist’s
mark will be murdered. Beheading will apparently be the regime’s
chosen method of offing these "traitors."
(Rev.
13: 15; 20:
4)
Antichrist will begin a systematic
genocide against the Jewish race that will make Hitler’s
Holocaust look mild by comparison.

also have all the new believers they can find, rounded up,
tortured, then murdered.

16: 2; Rev.

murders people by the millions, God’s judgments will
begin to fall directly on the rebellious people of Planet
Earth.

while God’s wrath pours out in a series of three types
of judgments, each consisting of seven specific judgments,
for a total of 21 judgments.
(Rev.

When all is said and done, more
than one-half, possibly as much as two-thirds, of all human
life on Earth will die of the plagues.

God will prepare, and the Jewish
remnant will flee to, a hiding place, probably Petra, the
ancient city carved in the rose red-colored rocks of the Jordanian

by Satan, will pursue the Jewish people and try to murder
them, but the pursuing forces will be swallowed up by the
Earth.

While the Jewish and many of
the Gentile people still alive remain safely protected, God’s
wrath will fall in greater force.
(Rev.
16: 1)
The sun will go partly dark,
while at the same time heating up to seven times hotter than
normal.
(Rev.
16: 8-11)
A great object will fall into
the ocean from space. Its impact will kill life in the sea,
and most likely will destroy coastal areas with tidal waves.
(Rev.
8: 8-9)
Another asteroid or other mass
from space will strike Earth and will poison much of the planet’s
fresh water sources.

9: 3-6)
God will then move in the minds
of all military forces on Earth to gather in the valley of
Jezreel, the plains of Esdraelon, near the ancient city of
Megiddo. This is Armageddon.
(Joel

16: 16)
The "Kings of the East,"
a huge army out of the Orient numbering more than 200 million
troops, will invade to make war with Antichrist’s and
the other world’s forces.
(Rev.
9: 15-16; 16:
12)
Jesus said of this time, that
if He didn’t come back, everyone and everything would
die because of the fighting about to take place.
(Matthew
24: 22; Mark
13: 20)
Jesus will return with the armies
of Heaven. His armies consist of the mighty angels and Jesus’
Church, which will have been raptured at least seven years
earlier.
(Rev.
19: 11-14)
Antichrist’s armies and
all others will try to prevent Christ’s return.
(Rev.
19: 19)
Jesus will simply speak, and
all armies on Earth will be rendered helpless, most killed.
(Rev.
19: 15-18)
You have only one chance to survive:
accept Jesus Christ as Savior (Read John
3)
This will involve refusing to take Antichrist’s mark
when it is instituted. If you accept the mark, you are eternally
doomed.
Note to those not appointed to
God’s wrath (1
Thes. 5: 9-11)
Perhaps you should pass this memorandum
to your lost family and friends before you vanish. Then, post
it on your refrigerator.
