Please read the following, it may help:

 

Many ask the question, what happens to those who are born Brain Dead or who have had some type accident or sickness and are in a Comatose state and have not had the chance to confessed and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior? People wonder, are those individuals saved or what is the Fate of that individual? This is a good question and should be answered inspiration of God and by Scripture. The reason many individuals do not understand is because they have been deceived by what their Ministers have said.

There are many individuals to who have never heard of or had the opportunity to confess that they will accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Considering this subject from an "orthodox" Christian worldview, it is apparent that untold millions or perhaps billions of human beings lived before the time of Christ's advent. Most of these lived in lands far distant from Israel. Thus, most humans never had the opportunity to hear an Israelite prophet like Moses or Isaiah. Most of them never heard of the Prophecies or a Messiah while they lived out their mortal lives. Is it fair that God would create a situation in which most of humanity would live out their lives never
having the opportunity to hear about Jesus?

What becomes of those who walked this Earth 1000’s of years ago living in the Wilderness, having no contact with humanity? What becomes of the African tribesman to whom no apostle of Jesus ever came and preached? What of the Indians, Polynesians, and other scattered peoples to whom no preacher ever came to declare salvation through Christ?

The Bible makes it clear that people are condemned to hell on the basis of their sins and their rejection of Jesus Christ as the remedy for their sinful condition. However, infants and young children are incapable of fully understanding either their spiritual condition or God's requirements for salvation. Can God judge them even though they don't understand the basis of that judgment if they die before they get to really know and understand God?

The key words above are “rejection of Christ”.

Act of rejecting: the rejecting of something or somebody, or the fact of being rejected:

All people are guilty of sin, and to confess this is good. In fact, children of God who sin are required to confess sin to be forgiven (1 John 1:9; Matt. 6:12; etc.).

And people who are not children of God must recognize their guilt and repent of it (Acts 2:38; 17:30).

Romans 10:9;

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved”.

Confession is saying the same thing God says about His Son, Jesus Christ. Salvation comes through confessing with our mouth that Jesus Christ is the Savior and He gave His Life for us. We are to believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead to give us this miraculous life Eternal.

Our human spirit is regenerated by the Holy Spirit when we are in the process of being called by the implanted Holy Spirit, which is able to convict us.” Salvation works by confession with our mouth that the Jesus is the Christ. “For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Confession is made unto salvation, which means to be made whole, well, delivered, healed, made sound, liberated, given victory and to be rescued when Christ returnes. The revelation of Jesus Christ provides this and more, but for now, our confession will be only what the blood of Jesus Christ means to us. Our voice is to be loud, saying: "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren [satan] who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him [the accuser of the brethren] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony [His blood and righteousness], and they did not love their lives to the death. Therefore rejoice 0 heavens, and who dwell in them!”

We are purchased from the slave market of sin with the blood of Jesus Christ. We are justified by grace, redeemed by Christ and declared His by faith. We are made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ and will be born into His Kingdom, saved from His judgment. We are bought with a high price. We are to glorify God in spirit and body. We are blessed because we share in the benefits of the blood of Jesus Christ. We are God's property, once far away, but now we are near to God by the blood. We have peace with God through His blood and reconciled to God. We are forgiven of our sins which would be impossible without the shedding of His blood. We have a new and living way to enter into God's presence through the sacred veil by Jesus' death. We have fellowship with God because the blood of Jesus cleansed us from all sin. We are blood bought for God's purpose and will give us the opportunity to reign as a priest in God’s coming kingdom. We overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb when we confess Jesus as our Savior.

But those who have not confessed Jesus Christ, will they be given the chance to do the same?

Rev.Ch.20:

Verse 5; "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection." Verse 7; "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison," Soon as Satan is loosened, he will have the same mind as before! When Satan has been loosed he will began broadcasting his influence on those now physical. Verse 8; "And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea." Notice the statement “the rest of the dead” in verse 5; what exactly does that mean? What about the “Lambs Book of Life”? If only those who have Confessed that Jesus is the Christ are in that book, does that leave those out that have not confessed Him or knew Him? Is God a just, good and loving God and will He give ALL MAN KIND a chance to be a son and or daughter in His Kingdom? Does this includes those that have not had (not a second chance) but a chance to know Him? Will this also include those that may have been killed in a car wreck, may have drowned, may have overdosed and killed in the many Wars? Those born with birth defect and those who are with abnormal brain malfunctions? Is God some king of Monster that would deprive those individuals from the greatest event to ever happen to mankind?

Ezekiel 37:1-28

1: The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; it was full of bones.

2: And he led me round among them; and behold, there were very many upon the valley; and lo, they were very dry.

3: And he said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "O Lord GOD, thou knows."

4: Again he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

5: Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live.

6: And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the LORD."

7: So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.

8: And as I looked, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them.

9: Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live."

10: So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great host.

What is being described in the above scriptures is the resurrection of the dead of those who have not had the opportunity to know and accept Jesus Christ and confess that He is Christ with their own mouth. This will be A Physical Resurrection of Bone to Bone covered with sinews, then flesh and skin to cover the body. This Prophecy is duel in nature. It is also speaking of the resurrection of the Nation of the House of Israel and a Physical resurrection of those dead not yet having the opportunity of knowing Christ. This will include those who had lived and are now dead during the time of the Old Testament era. All of those individuals will be resurrected after the 1000 year reign with Jesus Christ. Satan will be loosed for a little season because they to will have to have the influence on them as he did to those in the past, to test them.

After that period of time those who reject Jesus Christ will then be put to death. The second death and it will be eternal death in Hell fire. Not eternal punishing, but eternal punishment. No knowledge, not anything, just dead, turned to ashes.

ISAIAH 2:2-4

2. “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it”.

3. “And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem”..

4. “And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war any more”.

Those who are alive physically, not changed to Spirit, when Jesus returns, will also be taught the way of God. This will be done by those who were changed to Spirit when Jesus came back to this Earth. Those individuals will be taught about Gods Feast day, the days that He has set aside for us to keep and not the pagan days that are now so relevant.

What about those who are called now.

What about those who are now called and are following God and His Laws. What is their destiny when the “Great Tribulation” does come? Will they be raptured off into Heaven as they have been taught?

Did Jesus, Peter, Paul, James, John, and Jude say that the Church would be raptured out of the tribulation? No. Not one person has ever found a single scripture that states we will be Raptured before the tribulation although they may present scriptures that mean the complete opposite.

Those who hold to what is called the "Dispensational" interpretation of prophecy teach that the second coming of Christ will be in two stages: first, the Rapture, His coming for the saints, and then later His coming with the saints. The interval between these two events is generally regarded as seven years (Daniel's 70th week). During this time, according to this view, the Anti-Christ will make a seven year covenant with the Jews in which he will allow them to offer sacrifices in a rebuilt temple at Jerusalem. But then after three and a half years, he will break his covenant and place an Idol (the abomination of desolation) in the holy of holies of the temple. The Jews will refuse to bow, and a great persecution will result--the time of Jacob's trouble. Finally, at the close of the tribulation period (the end of the age), Christ will return in power and great glory, and then He shall send His angels to gather together His elect.

There is a big difference between the Rapture and the Resurrection. There are thousands of people who think that the Rapture idea--with driverless cars and crashing airplanes--is nothing but an emotion packed made up story with no Bible basis. But all Christians agree that there will be a resurrection in the future. The sensational display of the terror filled tribulation really has nothing to do with when the resurrection will take place. We are convinced that the Bible teaches that the resurrection will take place at the end of the tribulation, not before it.

There will not be rapture before the tribulation; the resurrection will be at the end of the trouble. There is no scripture anywhere that proves that the rapture is first. The note in Scofield's Bible is the biggest offender and has done the most to project the error.

Noah was not raptured out of the flood water; he went through the water. God said, "when thou passes through the water, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee" (Isa.43:2). Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego saw the fourth man and went through the fire. They were not raptured out. Daniel was not raptured out of the Lion's den; he went through it. God poured out His wrath in Egypt during the plagues but Israel did not suffer from them. Just as God protected His people from His wrath in Egypt, He will also protect His people from His wrath in the end time. God has established a pattern of providing supernatural protection for His people. Jerusalem, there is no question about the brutality and complete overthrow of that city in 70 AD. Why would He change His pattern for the last great tribulation? A mighty supernatural deliverance was wrought by God for protecting all His children in Egypt.

Matt 24:27-31

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Rev 1:7
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindred’s of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

1Thes 4:16
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1 Cor 15:52
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Jesus placed the sign of His second coming "immediately after the tribulation." The central event, "the Son of man coming in the clouds." The appearance of the Son of man is after that tribulation. Only the elect are gathered from the four winds; there being no mention of the wicked. The judgment scene one might expect is left out.

The believers will be "caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air." This verse explains where believers will meet the Lord. The place of meeting will be just above the earth--in the clouds, in the air. There is nothing in this verse to indicate that Christ will then turn around and take the Saints to heaven. Notice that believers will rise to "meet" the Lord. The word that is here translated "meet" is a word that was used in reference to the coming of a king or governor to visit a city. As he approached, the citizens would go out to meet him and then escort him on the last part of his journey into the city. We believe it has precisely that same meaning here. As the Lord descends from heaven, believers will rise "to meet the Lord in the air" (1Thes.4:16-17).

But do the scriptures teach that the rapture will be a secret, invisible, and quiet event? Let us look at the main verse on the rapture and see in 1Thes.4:16-17. To us, this verse indicates anything but a quite, secret rapture. Whether we take the "shout," the "voice," and the "trump" in literal sense or as having a figurative meaning; either way, this passage does not convey the idea of a secret and quite event! If anything, it would indicate that the coming of the Lord will be a loud, noisy, open, and wondrous event. Amid the sound of the Lord himself descending from heaven with a shout; the voice of the archangel, and the trumpet of God, there will be the sounds of praise and rejoicing from vast multitudes of saints as they are caught up to meet the Lord! Where is any secrecy here? This is not the description of a hidden and quiet event. Nevertheless, in spite of every indication to the contrary, this verse is constantly used as a text for sermons which describe the rapture as a secret, hidden, and quiet coming of Christ.

The scriptures do teach, of course, that Christ will return "as a thief in the night." This means that the time of His coming is unknown. It will come as a complete surprise to those who are not watching for His return. But the use of this term never indicates in any way that the event itself will be secret and quiet. The "thief" passages are found in the words of Jesus, Peter, and Paul, no one will know the time of His return.

What has been described in this Article has the complete plan of God for Everyone who has ever lived or ever will live from here own. We will soon see this plan of sequences take place in the not to distant future. My prayer is that we all understand this awesome plan of our Father, God.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
