The Anti-Rapture
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; (Matt 13:41)
Iniquity in Kingdom of God? No! The context of this “kingdom” is the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt 13:24).
We all are familiar with the idea of the Rapture - the gathering of the Believers out of the world. There is another “rapture”, as it were – a gathering of the wicked out of a kingdom. You mean there is wickedness in the Kingdom of God? No, but there is in the Kingdom of Heaven.
The Rapture belongs to the Church Age, the Kingdom of God. The Anti-Rapture belongs to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Today, theologians burden themselves with the impossible task of trying to reconcile Kingdom of God with Kingdom of Heaven principles. This produces a lukewarm mixture of confusion and fear.
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Rom 14:17)
