I hope by now you understand that the Rapture of the church has
occurred and that’s why millions and millions of people (Christians) are
missing. If you don’t fully understand it, just accept it. Give yourself time. Get a bible and read John 14:1-3; 1 Thess.
4:13-18; Titus 2:13; 1 Cor. 15:51-53; Philip. 3:20-21).
Now, we got to move on. If
you become a Christian and you submit to the Lordship of Christ and believe in
Him as your Lord and Savior, then you need to start a church.
Before you start establishing the church, make sure everyone in
your group has a Bible plus a writing tablet and a wooden lead pencil with an
eraser. Try to get as many bible collected as possible. You will probably come
across various translations. Don’t be stuck on any particular one right now.
But below are some of the reliable ones you can trust:
King James or New King James
New International Version
New American Standard
English Standard Version
Net Bible (New English Translation)
New Century Version
Geneva Bible
Revised Standard Version
New Living Translation
You may come across others, but the ones mentioned above God will
use as His mouth piece to guide and lead you.
Just remember that out in the wilderness, there will be various
degrees of dangers, such as wild animals, weather conditions, and natural and
man-made disasters. Be mindful of such.
Another survival threat is the fact that there are thousands of
state, county, city and federal park rangers in the U.S. employed by the
various levels of government. Add to that a variety of nature groups such as
the Sierra Club, Green Peace, etc., that regularly patrol and oversee many of
America’s parks and wilderness areas. You must also beware of area residents
and farmers.
Some of these rangers, club members and area residents will be
raptured, but many will be left behind. Some of those left behind will see the
light and decide to follow Jesus, but many will take the 666 mark and become a
part of antichrist’s gestapo. In all probability they will all know your
wilderness areas much better than you, so you must be on guard for these
threats.
Therefore, when I speak of building a church, I do not mean one
with a literal building or structure. I am talking about a gathering of
Christians – those of you who are left behind who have given your life to
Christ.
In the first century, after Christ’s Resurrection and the
Christian church was established (Acts 2: 1-4), nearly all church meetings were
held in members’ homes. Even meeting in homes may not become practical and
safe.
You should hold services, prayer meetings and Bible study anywhere
that is safe and concealed from detection. This wilderness church will no
longer have a bowling team, hold fund-raising chili dinners or have a co-ed
volleyball league!
Get out of the present-day habit of church services on Sunday at
10 AM and Bible study on Wednesday at 7 PM. You should be holding these church
functions anytime you can. Don’t cancel due to bad weather. Instead be blessed
that God provided your group with a day and night of heavy rain. This way you
can spend that day and night praising Him by giving Him all the Glory, plus
studying His Word, singing hymns of praise and holding group prayer meetings.
If it rains all week, then God has blessed you with the time for a camp meeting
and revival. You no longer have distractions like the Super Bowl, kid’s soccer
games, mowing lawns, TV, cell phones, 18 holes of golf, etc.
Get everyone in your group involved. Try to avoid those who just
want to sit there and listen (1 Corinthians 12:4-31). Many of today’s churches
center their teachings on undermining the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some of
them will be present in your left-behind church.
Give them something to do within the church so they will soon feel
they are a part of the church. You don’t want anyone there just because
everyone else is doing it. Getting them active and involved is a way you are
witnessing the Gospel to them, and it is also good for your own personal
spiritual growth.
Remember that Satan is just as active (via his demons) in your
underground church as he is in today’s pre-rapture churches. This is where all
of his future customers are, and he is on a selling spree with his intense lies
and deception.
Read Revelation chapters 2 and 3 on Christ’s message to the seven
churches in His day, which is the same as now in our day. He is very critical
of five of the seven churches. So be sure your wilderness church is not in that
group of five.
Take God’s Word literally. He means what He says. He is not the
author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). He is not wrong on anything.
Everything is possible with God (John 1:1-5; 2 Corinthians 4:18). His Word is
His Word (Revelation 1: 1-3). Any time you disagree with God’s Word or
reinterpret what He says and commands, you are calling God a liar!
One function your church should perform immediately is a group
baptism by total immersion (Matthew 4:13-41; Mark 1:9-11; John 1:29-31; Acts 3:35-41).
A church leader should come forth. Maybe a joint leadership, which would be
better, as the two could discuss the church agenda, plans and problems
beforehand. But whoever leads must either lead or get out of the way!
You don’t have to be an ordained preacher to baptize people. You
just need to be a Christian who will ask those to be baptized if they accept
Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Then say these words before you immerse
them (briefly down & up):
“Because you have confessed Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, I
now baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit, Amen.”
Here is a suggestion: If
you have ten people to be baptized, have five do the dunking of those to be
baptized, and then have them swap places and do it again. Make sure that nobody
gets left out! Or you and another leader
can do all ten. Just make sure no one is left out. Start and end all church
functions and events with prayer.
By the way, here are a few more items to ask your members to
collect as they come across them: Fishing
gear, poles, hooks, sinkers, line, floats; seine nets; snake bite kits; rolls
of wire, cord, rope; wire cutters; hatchet, axe, shovel, hoe, pick axe, rake;
everyone should have a Swiss Army knife;
hymn books; silverware; boxes of stick matches, cigarette lighter
with extra flint and lighter fluid (or cans of naphtha); bundles of legal pads
or tablets, packets of wooden lead pencils with erasers; wood chisels, small
hand tools (pliers, hammers, saws, etc.)
All clothing should be camouflage design; extra hiking, thermo and
work boots for men and women; insulated underwear; jackets; overalls, hats;
lots of extra socks; gloves; full coverage rain gear.
When the left behind find their camp area, they should make sure
it has fairly steep hills so they can dig out food cellars and caves, where
their group can have shelter from the elements and hold Bible study and other
functions. I would suggest crawl-in entrances instead of walk-in for the sake
of concealment from the outside. I advise against constructing shacks and
out-buildings, as they are easy to spot from the air and also by foot troops.
I doubt if the antichrist’s gestapo will do much Christian hunting
on foot while looking behind every tree over millions of acres nationwide.
Instead they will use the helicopters and light planes that can fly low and
cover more area, trying to spot “unauthorized activities.” Three people in a
low-flying plane or chopper can cover more area than a company of foot troops
on the ground. When those so-called “evil Christians” are spotted, the pilot
radios in the location to the gestapo and they will send in their troops.
When digging out caves and food cellars, you will need to cut down
trees to reinforce the interior walls and ceilings. Cut these trees close to
the ground so not much stump is showing. Then cover the stumps with fill dirt
and plant any kind of seed on top whose growth will conceal the stump. Don’t
cut trees in the open but rather back in the thickets where cuttings won’t be
noticed.
Don’t leave piles of dirt after you’re through digging caves,
cellars and other dirt work. Move it somewhere else and hide it or use it as
fill dirt where needed.
The food cellar can be used to store potatoes, onions, cabbage,
carrots, sweet potatoes (very healthy), peanuts, field corn, etc. Be sure there
is plenty of brush and underbrush to hide and camouflage the cave and cellar
areas. Save seed from produce like cantaloupe, squash, zucchini, beans, peas,
sweet corn, etc., for next season’s planting. Keep your eyes open in the woods.
You might come upon an old wild pear tree. Plant an herb garden and perennials
like asparagus.
On the practical side, most of what I’ve written thus far sounds
pretty elementary to some of you. But please
remember this: Life as you once knew it is now over with. If you have given
your heart to Jesus, you have become public enemy #1. If caught, you will be imprisoned and most
likely killed.
Also, here is something to keep in mind. Depending on when you are
reading this, remember after the Rapture, the Tribulation is only seven years
long (Dan. 9:27). Therefore, for those of
you left behind, I would urge you to max out your credit cards while you still can
buy. Don’t worry about debt. It won’t
matter when Jesus comes back at the end of the Tribulation to inaugurate His
kingdom (Rev. 20).
Get as much of the essentials as you can while you can. When you
can’t buy or sell, you can’t pay your credit card bills either! If the stores you
buy from are still in operation, that means they are left behind too, and they
might have already taken the 666 mark. You don’t want to be doing business with
establishments that can easily turn you in. Antichrist doesn’t care about you
paying your bills. His time is short anyway (Revelation 12: 12). He wants your
soul, so don’t worry about your low credit rating scores.
And remember that if you hear helicopter blades above whirling
loudly, don’t look up. Just run for cover as fast as you can!
