On the rapture

On the Rapture of Souls

Some people say the Rapture of Souls, which will be before some of the heaviest chastisements to come, is not according to Catholic teaching. These people also say, that would the Rapture be true, Jesus would have to come back three times. Now, the position on the Rapture and the possible third time of return of Jesus, according to recent catholic prophecies, is as follows.

In a certain sense Christ will indeed come, and act, three times.

1. First He was born 2000 years ago.

2. Second: After the time of tribulation during the Endtime He will come to throw Satan and all evil spirits in hell forever.

This time of tribulation has already begun, and will last a few years, may be till 2006 or 2007, or a bit longer.

The three main happenings of this Endtime are: The Great Warning, The Great Miracle, the Great Chastisement. We are now, to-day, some time before the Great Warning.

Now, the Rapture will be partly before the Great Warning, and partly before the Great Chastisement. Not all people, not all christians, not all catholics, will be raptured, that is taken up, body and soul, into a place up high, where God will take care of them during a certain, limited timeperiod. Some will be taken up before the Great Warning, some will be raptured before the Great Chastisement. Many will remain on earth.

Bear in mind that after the Great Warning there will only be catholics on earth, because the shock of the Warning will convert all people of other religions. But many, very many, people will have died because of the tribulations and chastisements.

At the end of the period of chastisements will come the comet of the Great Chastisement and then the earth will be pured by fire. The true catholics, still being on the earth, will be kept safe and sound by God. All other people on earth, followers of Satan and the Antichrist will be thrown in hell forever, together with all evil spirits, all devils, and all souls of damned people.

Thereafter, Jesus will return, and the earth will be re-created by Jesus, and the true catholic people (there will be no other people alive then), still living on the old earth, will move to the New One and will live on the New Earth together with Jesus, Mary, & Joseph in the Reign of Peace. Also the people taken up before in Rapture will be brought back to the New Earth and will also live there bodily.

This period of the Reign of Peace will take some 1000 years. During that timeperiod there will exist heaven, hell, purgatory and the New Earth. It will take some 1000 years to get all souls removed from purgatory by the prayers of the people on the New Earth. Realise, that all people on the New Earth will go to heaven. They have lived through their own personal purgatory on the old earth because they had to live through all the chastisements.

3. After that time of some 1000 years of peaceful living without sin, without death, without illness, the Resurrection of the Body will start, and also the Last Judgment. This period will start when purgatory has completely been emptied and won't thereafter exist no longer.

The two closely connected actions of Resurrection & Judgment will take a time of about 500 years, because there are many, many people to be resurrected and judged, and God wants this to be done calmly and in such a way, that everybody gets the time to acquaint himself to the new circumstances. Because people will get their bodies back, there ought to be some place to put them temporarily. The New Earth will serve that purpose.

Together it will take about 500, may be 700, years to resurrect all. This will be when heaven, hell and the New Earth will exist.

Now, sometimes the start of this period is called the third time of Jesus Return. But this really is not completely correct, as on the New Earth everybody will live in Jesus' vicinity. After His Return (and when having recreated the Earth) He will not again truly go back to heaven, because the New Earth and Heaven are very closely connected.

When the Last Judgment has finished, afterwards there will only exist heaven and hell, because the people on the New Earth will go to heaven, and the Earth will be annihilated, and will not exist any longer as such.

So, it all depends on the right interpretation.

The sequence iterated is based on numerous heavenly messages, given to numerous catholic see�rs in many different countries. It is not against catholic traditional teaching if understood correctly.

It is correct this website in principal only gives messages to catholic see�rs, with a few exceptions. There exist, however, trustworthy protestant see�rs too, because God of course loves all His children, and He wants all His children to be warned, which He does via heavenly messages. The website also carry messages to these few protestant see�rs.

There exist protestant groups which have a detoriated view on the Rapture. They believe all true christians will be raptured at one time, and all together. Only sinners would remain on the earth and die. That particular view is totally wrong, as described above.

Mostly that distorted view originates in an explanation of Bible verses without the catholic Magisterium and the catholic Tradition to guide, which, of course, is a purely protestant view. One should realise the explanation of Bible texts by many good people, protestants, based on the Bible only, is not sufficient to get a true understanding of events to come. The Bible does not give all information, neither all details. One also needs more recent visions and heavenly messages to get a complete view and insight. There exists a book called: 'the Rapture Trap', but it seems the writers views are not based on sound catholic visions too.

Again: God is a good Father, and He will let his children know through the true see�rs, catholic and protestant, what will happen, and what they ought to do. This is very old catholic teaching. Saint Thomas Aquinas already taught this view.

However, if one excludes modern catholic prophets from views and arguments, one is not able to grasp the complete truth on events to happen. To get a really complete view one has to merge the information of the Bible, the traditional catholic teaching, and the true catholic visions and prophets of our times. Only merging these three sources will give a really full insight !

By the way: One may correctly use the term 'protestant brothers & sisters' in a sociological, or general human, sense, but one should realise, that theologically speaking, the protestant doctrine is a heresy of cathilicism. Historically protestantism originated in the 16th century as a distortion of catholicism. Realise catholicism already was some 1500 years old at that time, and the dogmas and the doctrine of faith were firmly established. Therefore only part of the truth exists in protestant theological views. The ideas of some protestants about the Rapture are only one example of a wrong interpretation of information given by Heaven.
