Muslims and the Rapture

[Salty]

After the (pre-trib) Rapture, what will be the role of Muslims of the world?

Since all (born-again) Christians will be gone - the Muslims (as well as all other religions) will have a higher per-cent of the population.
Will they have greater political power in the US. Will radical Muslims slow down their attack against the US, and maybe beef it up against Israel?

This is not so much a theological dissuasion as it is a political/ (future) news event.

Post Rapture Earth will be very interesting?

Great.. I love using my imagination...

Let's see,

The rapture happens, the world is thrown into Chaos... Out steps one man.. .probably a man that will be good with words.. able to unite the world, including the Muslims.. .this man will also give away the sovereignty of the USA (from within or destroy it from without)... and the American people will fall head over heels for this man who will be able to bring hope and change to this terrible world. People will be willing to give up Privacy, and their rights in order to restore peace to the world.. ONLY they won't have true peace..

Why, he may even win a prize for his ability to bring peace to the world. Although he doesn't bring it...

I would bet that the Muslims will stop attacking the US.. .because at that point the US will be Muslim territory... The world will then turn on Israel... completely...

OUR job today:

Romans 13:8-14
(8) Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.
(9) The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
(10) Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
(11) And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
(12) The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
(13) Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
(14) Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

You might be right, Salty. I do believe that Christians are the reason the USA is friends with Israel and once the Christians are gone, that will allow world leaders to try to destroy them completely.

I've often thought of this country AFTER the rapture, and these liberal yo-yo's (R's, D's, I's, or whatever stripe) that are so convinced that the constitution AND Bible are living documents subject to their whims of change.

Can't you just visualize this nation with the libs (D's R's --) in complete control passing tax after tax, legislation after legislation, shredding the constitution and butchering the Word --- after a few months to a year max, this country will be so flubbed up that nobody will know what freedom is anymore.

Not only that, but nobody will trust anybody, and everybody will be spying on everybody else.

I'm ready for the rapture and letting these egotistical, prideful, dogmatic idiots have the country and just see how long it does takes for complete chaos to reign supreme.

Tim,

At first I started laughing at your post and by the time I finished I wasn't laughing anymore. Your scenario is all to possible. Our anointed one does seem to loath Christianity and he definitely snuggles up to Islam. hmmmmmmmmraying:

 

[Nonsequitur]

O.K.
As always I will be the fly in the ointment.
Who cares what the non-believing muslims care about?
In the end, it will be their families who go through the tribulations. (Unless of course, one of them comes to the Lord.)
This time WILL come.
The unbelievers WILL go through it.
The muslims, buddists, confusians, the new agers, the wiccans, the oracles, the masons, the catholics, the new seers, and the Dionne Warwick psychic Hot-Liners, and etc......

 

[Salty]

Any new thoughts?

 

[SBCPreacher]

I'm not sure what it will be like, and thank God I won't be here to find out. Me and my family will be outta here! And we're trying to take as many as we can when we go.

 

[Salty]

... And we're trying to take as many as we can when we go.

raying: Amen and Amen!!! :thumbsup:

Has anyone mentioned that the Muslims are already awaiting the arrival of the 12th Imam? That sets the stage entirely, with his arising and their acknowledgement of who he is, they would follow him no matter what, therefore you have one world religion and one world government.

 

[glfredrick]

The rapture happens... Tons of American Christians are sitting in their churches the next Sunday wondering where all the weirdos went. :laugh:

Still stand by my original thoughts...

YEP... interesting

I pay a little bit more attention to the Muslims than I do Catholics, LDS, different cults or the occult.

From what I have read, listened to, and studied; this religion is probably the complete opposite of Christianity. But that's my opinion.

I don't believe there is going to be a pre-trib Rapture as so many evangelicals do. Jesus is coming only one more time - and at that time those who are still alive will be caught up in the air to meet him, then he will judge the living and the dead. There is not going to be a secret Second Coming, nor is there going to be a public Third Coming. Jesus is coming again once, for all. So all speculation about what is going to happen to non-christians is pure fantasy, like the "Left Behind" books. Non-Christians and Christians alike will be judged at the Second Coming.

The pre-trib rapture doctrine was invented about 150 years ago. It is a false teaching that people embrace because it makes them feel good about not having to endure any tribulation period on earth. This false doctrine also promotes the idea that the Jewish people will reinistate animal sacrifice in the Temple, although with the coming of Jesus Christ as the Messiah for all people, Temple sacrifice is no longer commanded by God.

Muslims don't get raptured.

Islam is a perversion of both the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures. Every place where the Scriptures show that one in the line of Christ was the preeminent figure (Issac, Jacob, etc.) Islam will pick the other (Ishmael, etc.).

Surprisingly, they do recognize Jesus (Isa in the Q'ran) as the "supreme prophet". They do not recognize His resurrection, however. Therein lies the problem. If Jesus IS the supreme prophet (He IS!), and what the supreme prophet says is truth, then they need to bow before Jesus as their Lord and Savior, but they, of course, do not.


After that, the story of Islam almost mirrors the story of Mormonism. Both "prophets" (Mohamed and Joseph Smith) received their revelations from "angels" who in both cases told the prophets that every other religion was incorrect and that a "correct" version would be revealed and needed to be followed. Both have led large numbers of people astray from the One True God, and both have done "deeds" that are not in keeping with Christian doctrines. This, then matches up to Paul's warning in 2 Cor 11:14-15:

And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

Well, if it happens at the Rapturist explain. Assuming this is true. Then People would be in survival mode competing for the most resources.

Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion...Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven. 6And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, "There will be no more delay! ...I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. 3And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth....and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up... A third of the sea turned into blood, 9a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed... fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11the name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter...

Sounds like a nightmare world. People will resort to their baser instincts. A Terrible world to visit surely. As far as Muslims. I don't think they will care too much beyond how to survive
