The Rapture is Imminent
Church to Be Raptured before Antichrist Appears
May the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua the Messiah, Bless You and Keep You in the Peace Which Passes All Understanding – Amen.
In my utterly humble and shaken opinion, what I am about to present to you is the single most ASTONISHING piece of information Tribulation-Now has ever published. Many will not grasp the significance. This is understandable. Many will “pass judgement” upon Pastor Hagee, and for that my heart is saddened. Nobody is perfect. And without utter humility many will not be found worthy to stand before the Son of Man.
Tossing a Serious Blow to Pre-Trib Doctrine
It is with humble amazement I present to you John Hagee’s warning. As a person who was raised “No Rapture” then “Pre-Trib” rapture, then “Pre-Wrath” rapture, I always found myself confused to understand how one could suggest that “imminence” was the key to being prepared, but emphatically point to a set of “pre-requisite” happenings that MUST occur before the “Bride” could be “called up”.
It is not out of lack of humility that many of these wonderful teachers stand their ground. I really don’t think that’s the case. It’s just that they have been studying the Bible for their entire lives and have based their foundations on established “belief systems” and truly believe from the bottom of their heart that the Lord has given them the understanding they needed.
The truly bad “shepherds” are those that do not preach being “ready” and “sin free” at all. The really frightening ones are those that preach “prosperity doctrine” and tell you if you “come to their church” you are “on the fast path” to salvation. And indeed there is a mixture of all these “beliefs” throughout most of the “mega churches” out there. Yes, probably even Pastor Hagee’s flock. But we should be praying for the “sheep”. Our hearts should “cry out” for the “sheep”. We should be begging our Father to have mercy on those “sheep”.
Spend no time in Judgement and humble yourself before the Lord Your God immediately in Jesus name. This statement by John Hagee is UNBELIEVABLE.
By “breaking rank” and making this statement publicly, John Hagee tossed a metaphorical grenade into the “Pre-Trib” rapture believers doctrine and “demolished” their understanding of Daniel’s 70 weeks in one short letter.
“Pre-Trib” Rapture Pre-Requisites in a Nutshell
This is a very short summary of the “pre-trib” rapture belief system. It is by no means complete and I’m not going to bother explaining the scriptures they espouse as proof. There’s simply nothing to be gained by taking that approach.
The basics of “pre-trib” rapture pre-requisites include:
- A “tribulation period” of 7 years which equals Daniels 70 weeks
- The “signing of a covenant with many” spoken of in Daniel 9:27
- It is commonly believed this “covenant” will be signed by the Antichrist
- It is commonly believed this “covenant” will cause “jubilation to cease” in the 3rd Solomon’s Temple
- It is commonly believed they will SEE with their own eyes a “great falling away” from Christianity
They believe that the BEGINNING of the 7 year “tribulation period” CANNOT begin until these requirements are met and they SEE it happen with their own eyes on a global level. They must SEE the Antichrist and know it is HE. They believe this series of events will be very obvious and mark the beginning of the 7 year “tribulation period”.
Until that happens, they believe the church will not be raptured. Period.
If you care to understand what “I” believe, you can go back and read the articles I’ve published since January. When you have a “brown dwarf” heading straight toward earth (albeit on an elliptical path) and imminent warnings of a possible “pole shift”, you have a tendency to “rethink” things a little. Particularly when these events were prophesied in the 2nd Book of Esdras, Chapter 15, with verse 40 mentioning the “Horrible Star” and the events in Egypt reading like a “newspaper” in prior verses.
First John Hagee’s Astonishing Summary Statement
The following is the “summary statement” Pastor Hagee released in his letter from Tuesday, February 22, 2011 at 9:47.
Jesus said: “When you see these signs, lift up your head and rejoice. Your redemption draweth nigh.” Simply stated: The King is coming! Get ready! Planet earth is about to become the playground for the Anti-Christ and his New World Order. The church will be raptured before the Anti-Christ appears; and I believe he could be introduced in Europe at any time. Pray up! Pack up! We’re going up…and very soon. I’ll chat with you next week!
– Pastor John Hagee
Please notice the statement he made here. I underlined it to call it out. This statement “flies in the face” of 100% of all “pre-trib” doctrine. This was a metaphorical “ice pick into the forehead” of every pre-trib rapture preacher that has existed in the last 150 years.
HALLELUJAH!!

FROM THE DESK OF PASTOR JOHN HAGEE

For the past few days the world has been watching the Middle East implode! The streets of the nation of Egypt have been packed with riots and bloodshed. The Administration of Mubarak is apparently coming to an end. From my sources of information, I believe the Muslim Brotherhood is now in the driver’s seat to determine the future of Egypt .
The American media, with the exception of FOX News, is presenting the Muslim Brotherhood as moderate and lovers of democracy. This is utter nonsense. This is the hysterical jabber of our State Department that once again has fumbled the ball in the Middle East .
Making a long story short; if the Egyptian drama works out like the Fall of the Shah in Iran in 1979 (and I think it will) there will be a person approved of the Muslim Brotherhood to become Egypt’s new leader. He will appear initially as a moderate and within a few weeks embrace Sharia which is the Islamic law that now governs Iran .
Israel will be surrounded by hostile nations screaming for their blood! America ‘s economy is determined by the price of oil and Egypt will have the power to block the Suez Canal and Iran will have the power to block the Straight of Hormuz.
Result? America ‘s economic future will be determined by nations that hate us and call us the Great Satan.
What are you seeing happen in the Middle East prophetically? You are seeing the King of the South come together with lightning speed.
Egypt has an army of one million men armed with 1500 Abram Tanks which are America ‘s best. We sold them to Egypt along with hundreds of our latest and greatest fighter jets because Egypt was controlled by Mubarak who was America ‘s friend.
Can you imagine what Israel faces with Iran , Egypt , Syria , Turkey and Russia coming after them? The prophet Ezekiel clearly predicted this battle thousands of years ago and you are watching the players get into position with lightning speed.
Jesus said: “When you see these signs, lift up your head and rejoice. Your redemption draweth nigh.” Simply stated: The King is coming! Get ready! Planet earth is about to become the playground for the Anti-Christ and his New World Order. The church will be raptured before the Anti-Christ appears; and I believe he could be introduced in Europe at any time. Pray up! Pack up! We’re going up…and very soon. I’ll chat with you next week!
Pastor John Hagee
Summary in Jesus Name
If a Pastor like Hagee can humble himself before hundreds of pre-trib rapture “experts” and launch a statement of this magnitude and it doesn’t utterly humble you in tears before your King Jesus Christ, then nothing will.
I am speechless.
and most of all….
BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME
I was a very big supporter of John Hagee before he boasted that Jews don't need salvation through Jesus and Jesus did NOT say He was their Messiah or THE SON OF GOD…. WRONG! I also did not like that fact that he cruised around with prosperity teachers like Jessie Duplantis, Jerry Seville, Copeland Ministries, and TD Jakes to name a few! BUT, I do like much of his Tribulation studies. I have known that he has always favored pre-trib, and I still have some of his books that support his position. His nephew went to CBC with my daughter and she said his nephew always claimed that his uncle was a fake and not what he appeared to be. I know he appears to care a great deal for the Jewish people, but his claim to them has been VERY disturbing and detrimental to them as needing SALVATION THROUGH JESUS JUST LIKE NICODEMUS WAS INSTRUCTED! His voice has been
a huge problem for Messianic Jews trying to witness.
The church of Philadelphia(your post) is alarming! I can't get that out of my mind, and DO believe SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN SOON! I hope it is the
rapture/escape from this demon infested planet like you! Keep looking up!!!!!
Blessings ~
Humbly yours Tamra, Amen
Almost all futurist Bible prophecy students will agree that there are three end time wars involving Israel. However, we disagree somewhat on the timing of first two wars. Those wars being the Ezekiel Chapter 38 and 39 war where Gog comes down with a host of nations and the Psalm 83 war where a confederacy of nations attempts to cut Israel off from being a nation. In the mix somewhere is the destruction of Damascus since the prophecy has never been fulfilled yet.
I believe the premise is that after the aftermath of the Psalm 83 war that brings the destruction of Damascus, Israel will expand its borders. That will allow Israel to have the security that is implied by Ezekiel at the time of the Gog invasion. At that time Russia will come down with a host of nations against Israel and God will intervene.
Amen and none of which has any bearing whatsoever on the timing of the rescue mission for the Bride. Amen
Hagee is not a good source..he's one of them. I wouldn't use him as a source or you'll eat pie one day for it. He's big-time Zionist tool so you know.
Easy brother. Everyone is eating humble pie these days. 🙂
I certainly hope you are right John, nothing would make me happier to get off this rock. Big event soon…yes probably, rapture…hope so, but dont think so.
Your redemption draws near. NEAR. It doesnt say IS HERE. My bet is we are going trough som tough times ahead…tribulation saints. Maybe some go and some stay for tribulation.
No matter what, I am looking forward to giving you all big hugs at the wedding feast. Peace and love to all of you in Jesus name!
I do not trust John Hagee for a second. He is a judiazer. He stated in his book In Defense of Israel, that Jews DO NOT NEED Jesus to be saved. John has a history of date setting. In Jerusalem countdown, (actually it was live on a speaker tour in support of that book) He stated that his secret contacts atthe pentegon told him we will be at war with Iran by March. Of 2007! Wrong.
Hagee supports the STATE of Israel and Netenyahu who is a freemason. The State of Israel today is secular and even run by the same globalists that run the world.
He also stated that Catholicism is the Scarlet Women and he may be right….but repented and turned from his own statements after backing John McCain, when he came under fire by the Catholic watchdog groups.
Tribulation-Now does not encourage people to post their feelings about other churches or pastors for any reason. The point of this article was that MANY churches and pastors are warning people about the forthcoming rapture of the Bride of Christ. That being said, you have some good points that I agree with, but for the RECORD it is "wise" to remain humble and be careful about judging ANYONE at this time.
John Hagee is right on! We had better be prepared and pray for those who aren’t. Instead of acting pious like the Saducees and Pharisees, we had better humble ourselves before our Lord. We have to pray that God will remove the blinders over our eyes, so we can see what is really happening in the world. The Bible is more current that the evening news. I am just thankful we will be kept out of the the great tribulation.
Amen … the ONLY word of caution is that the Bride MUST BE HOLY AND SIN FREE!! We all must REPENT morning and night and ask God to CLEANS AND PURIFY US WITH HIS HOLY FIRE AND ASK JESUS TO CLEANS US WITH HIS BLOOD. REPENT!! REPENT!!!
AMEN TEXAS GIRL.
I Don’t look at John Hagee report so much as I look at the backing up of what the Bible says about the end times. I also find it very interesting on how so many teachers of the word are all on the same mind set all at the same time. I believe God has put this together as it is almost impossible to have so many in aggrement at the same time!! Have you ever tried to get lets say 10 people together in aggrement on one thing, it is far and few between. John Hagee gives us the word and even quotes the Bible passages for us to back up what he is saying. I believe what is happening, and why so many question him is because this has been predicted so many times before and even with dates involved ( we all know GOD has forbidden this ) that its the same story about the sky is falling theory. It is predicted so many times that people don’t believe it anymore. But we as Christians all know it is going to happen sometime because the Bible says so, and in saying so God did leaves us some signs of the times, which John Hagee is trying to get accross for us. Does it hurt to listen,or be ready for that time. Clearly not!!! So I say to you have some Faith because we do know its coming.
The King is Coming
“It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions.” Joel 2:28-29
I, as an old man of 73, dreamt recently that I was walking on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem (I last walked there in 1973) when in the dream I picked up a silver coin. On its tail end stood “Nil 0 Value”
I was stunned. Where in the history of the world did anyone ever strike a coin with Nil value? Even in days gone by the old quarter penny had a value.
I showed the strange coin to The Jerusalem Post and the Times of Israel. They have never seen such a coin and had no explanation for it.
Both newspapers took photos and publish it together with a story asking its readers whether anyone could shed any light on the said coin.
The only reply they got was from collectors making offers to purchase the coin for their collections. The last offer just before I woke up, was R3 billion rand (some $208 million)
I did not want to sell the coin. To me it had some greater value.
It was an End-time warning… “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto his servants the prophets.” Amos 3:7
The Lord has always warned the world of coming judgement… so Noah was warned of the coming flood: So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.” Gen 6:13
Abraham and Lot were warned about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. (Gen 18:17; 19:14), Moses and the ten plagues (Ex 7:1), Amos and the fall of Syria, Philistia, Tirus, Ammon, Moab, Judah and Israel (Amos 1 & 2).
In Ezekiel 7:3 the Lord says: “The end is now upon you, and I will unleash my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices.”
Across the world people’s trust in God had faded. Their trust is now in silver and gold.
The coin with Nil Value is God’s message that time is up. We are in the last hour.
“‘They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath. It will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs, for it has caused them to stumble into sin” Ezek 7:19
Why would so many collectors wanted to purchase the coin with Nil Value?
“And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it. My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.” Ezek 7:21-22
God allowed it. That which had become their idol, is now the well they are falling into.
Even the leaders and the nations of the world will soon be helpless.
The Lord said that before His return we would be living like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.
There are wars in 69 countries of the world. All in all 754 armies and militant terrorist groups are involved. It is already worse compared to the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Christians are being brutally persecuted in 50 countries. More than 29 million people mostly woman and children, have been abducted and sold as sex slaves across the world.
Millions of people are fleeing across the world to what they hope will be places of safety and hopefully new beginnings.
Israel is encircled by warring parties and anti-Semitism is on the increase.
The dream that I had took place on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the city which is regarded by many as the barometer in End-time prophecies.
We will soon experience a Great Awakening (Revival) as God’s people are gathering themselves together for the Rapture,
The King is coming. Prepare! – Sjibbolet
Thank you James. This is a Great Share! May all posts not judge but some which could encourage, shed light and lead on to unity and understanding in the Body of Christ. Truly wisdom is with those with grey hair but only with those whose lives are hidden in Christ. To God be the glory!
