THE CULTING OF CHRISTIANITY

The Occult Roots Of

The Rapture Cult - Part XIII

 

 

 

 

 

In American evangelical presentations of prophecy, one of the most common assertions put forth by the Rapture Cult is related to Jesus Christ's sermon found in Matthew 24 (and its parallel in Mark and Luke). Known as the Olivet Discourse, the quintessential teaching of the so called Rapture is thought to be prominently featured in the LORD's summary of end time's events. In fact, the analogous connection to the story of Noah, as well as Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah, as alleged comparisons to the pre-tribulation Rapture, have become the basic bible study for preachers and evangelists everywhere.

 

Most know the LORD described the days of Noah – complete with characterizations of several circumstances surrounding the famous boat builder's generation – as a template for how things will be at the end of the age:

 

"And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man, For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be"

 

"Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left" (Matthew 24:37-40).

 

This passage, perhaps more than any other, has been cited millions of times to present the concept of the pre-tribulation Rapture. In the youthful exuberance which accompanied the Rapture centered revival which occurred in my generation's youth, millions were told they need Christ, and they had better be ready for His supposedly secret coming, based on these verses. From Hal Lindsey's epic Late Great Planet Earth back in the 1970's, to the gargantuan hit series Left Behind which has spawned several motion pictures, these passages have impacted vast numbers of America's rapidly aging baby boomers.

 

Yet almost no believers who can recite these prophetic sequences are aware they were also recorded in Occult documents preceding their famous utterance by the LORD of glory.

 

In the Apocalypse of Adam, which carries evidence of being a pre-Christian era Gnostic document featuring Seth as the Saviour, we have several important references to Noah. This account, which features the pre-tribulational Rapture of the followers of Adam's supposedly semi-divine third son Seth, connects those who are delivered by angels, to the descendants of Noah. Like most Gnostic writings, the flow of the narrative is confused and convoluted, but it is clear the Sethian Rapture is directly related to the blessed offspring of Noah in the Occult document:

 

"And God will say to Noah – whom the nations will call Deucalion – Behold, I have guarded you in the ark, together with your wife and your sons…For this reason I will give the [earth] to you and your sons. In sovereignty you shall rule over it, you and your sons. And from you no seed will come forth of the men who will not stand in my presence in another glory" (Apocalypse of Adam, Old Testament Pseudopigrapha, Charlesworth edition, page 713).

 

The reference to Noah being identified as "Deucalion" (who was the son of Prometheus in the mythic Grecian echo of the Genesis account of the flood) also points to a pre-Christian era dating for the Apocalypse of Adam. The above citation has just told us that Noah's righteous "seed" will be the only ones to stand in God's presence, thus connecting the Noah account with the later Rapture of that "seed." Further, the Apocalypse of Adam calls the descendants of Noah the "great men who have not been defiled" (ibid page 714), and tells of a future trial of "fire and sulfur and asphalt" from which the "seed" will be delivered:

 

"And great clouds of light will come down and other clouds of light will descend on them from the great aeons. Abrasax and Sablo and Gamaliel will come down to take those men out of the fire and the wrath and bring them above the aeons and the rulers of the powers and take them away" (Apocalypse of Adam, page 715).

 

The Gnostic letter tells us how "a remnant" of the descendants of Noah, a group who are considered worthy, will be rescued by angels. These angels (who are also named in the Christian era Sethian document The Gospel of the Egyptians), will allegedly descend from "high clouds" to "take away" the righteous descendants of Noah (who is obviously descended from Seth), and they will not die:

 

"And great angels will come on high clouds to bring those men to the place where the spirit of life dwells…but the whole [multitude] of flesh will be left behind….But those who reflect upon the knowledge of the eternal God in their hearts will not perish" (Apocalypse of Adam, Page 713, 715).

 

The genuine Scriptures in the Holy Bible make it clear in the book of Genesis the flood of Noah will never be repeated, and even the Old Testament hints at the watery death as being a symbolic type of a future cataclysm. Thus, there is no mystery as to how the devils being channeled in the Apocalypse of Adam anticipate the flood of Noah serves as an example of an end time's conflagration:

 

"And God said…I do set my [rainbow] in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth…neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood…." (Genesis 9:13, 11).

 

Since God repeatedly vowed to shake the earth once more, in a future cataclysm, it's hardly prophetic for the devils to recognize a horrific conflagration to come, and channel that information through the Antichrist Sethians. Indeed, many of the Apocalyptic themes detailed in Revelation were originally seen in the Old Testament book of Isaiah:

 

"Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place…And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD" (Isaiah 13:13; 2:19).

 

Thus, for the devils to anticipate that the end of the age may be compared with the great judgment in the time of Noah by the LORD of glory is easily understood. Further, the related Sethian document, The Gospel of the Egyptians, was ported to humanity after the time of Christ, so the wicked power was aware the LORD also analogized the end of days with the story of Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah. Predictably, the New Testament era Gnostic document incorporates references to the two cities and the flood of Noah, thus subtly connecting Christ's Olivet Discourse, which features Noah's flood and Sodom and Gomorrah, with the Sethian documents mentioning both episodes in conjunction with the Sethian Rapture:

 

"Then the great Seth came and brought his seed. Some say that Sodom is the place of pasture of the great Seth, which is Gomorrah. But others [say] that the great Seth took his plant out of Gomorrah and planted it in the second place to which he gave the name Sodom. This is the race which came forth….And the flood came as an example for the consummation of the aeon" (The Gospel of the Egyptians, Nag Hammadi Library, Robinson edition, page 215).

 

It's crucial that we communicate how the Occultists show Seth and his angels will "bring those men to where the Spirit of life dwells" – in his supposed Rapture in the Apocalypse of Adam – confirming the Sethian statement in the Gospel of the Egyptians showing that those who are "taken away" are preserved. This is the precise opposite of Jesus Christ's statement in the Scriptures. Unfortunately, to this very day, only a few who are ordained to receive the truth realize that Christ plainly indicated those who are "taken away" are destroyed, whereas those who are left are preserved!

 

If we follow the flow of the analogy, the LORD compared the two groups in Noah's time – the saved and the unsaved – with the "two men [that] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left" (Luke 17:36).

 

In the Noah analogy, Jesus tells us the lost were those who were not in the ark, as they "knew not until the flood came and took them all away" (Matthew 24:39). The obvious question is, who "knew not" that the flood was coming? The answer is, the entire world, for you could not say that Noah and his family were unaware that the flood was coming. The text tells us they had just spent many years building the ark, enduring mocking and scorn in the process. This leads to the 2^nd question which is, who was taken away? Obviously, everyone who was not in the ark.

 

Thus, when Jesus says there were two men in the field (or two women grinding at the mill), and one is taken – the one taken away is destroyed, and the one that is left is preserved. Further, Luke's parallel to Matthew immediately follows with the Disciple's question of "where, Lord?" – which could be paraphrased as where were they taken? It is here that Christ responds with the cryptic statement about carrion circling a carcase:

 

"And they answered and said unto him, where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together" (Luke 17:37).

 

In this stunning truth, the LORD has just said that every person caught in the Rapture Cult who expects to be "taken away," is actually identified with a dead body being eyed by vultures (eagles in the text). Further, although virtually all Rapture Cult teachers think they're accurately following the prophetic teaching of the Holy Bible, the truth is, the demonic spirit that animated those writings was preaching about "Seth," and that unclean spirit is the true source of the unholy "Christian" doctrine of the Rapture Cult.

As we continue to Eblast our new multi-part series on the discovery of the Old Testament era Occult source of the pre-tribulation Rapture doctrine, the Christian Media ministry is still under an all out attack by forces which are seeking to stop people from reading (or forwarding) our material. This writing addresses how the Spirits allegorically seen as Antichrist and the False Prophet penetrated the body of Christ long ago. It further relates the astonishing Good News of how the LORD of glory has called out a singular body of people unto Himself – "that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:7). An important look at how the Spirit of Antichrist functions may be found by Googling the James Lloyd book THE CULTING OF CHRISTIANITY.  

God has revealed the New Testament Gospel has been steadily leavened, and true discernment in the realm of the Spirit, which is the place where our lives in Christ continue after our physical existence comes to an end, is regularly addressed on the James Lloyd TV broadcast The Apocalypse Chronicles.
