Junkyard Theology

A new email friend shared this with me:

“Junkyard is a cautionary story of what will happen to some preachers near the end of the tribulation.” — from the Youtube page about the video clip below.

This is a fictional story about two men who meet each other in an automobile junkyard. The scene is set after a great catastrophic event has taken place during which 2,000,000,000 people have been killed. The implication is strong that this occurred during the Great Tribulation period of most evangelical and charismatic Christians today believe will happen during the last 7 years just before Jesus will return. The Antichrist has been revealed, and Jesus has not returned to take away the Believers before the Great Tribulation!. The man who entered the junkyard learns that the other man living in the junkyard is a famous preacher who was teaching that Jesus will return before the Great Tribulation! He accuses him of lying from the pulpit. Of course the preacher wasn’t intentionally lying, he was merely repeating the lies he learned from other preachers who got them from the Scofield Bible which C.I. Scolfield wrote the footnotes from inspiration of the teaching of John Nelson Darby. And guess who Darby ultimately got his inspiration from? The DEVIL’s people, Jesuit priests!!

The Bible in Matthew 24:29-31 very clearly states that God’s Elect — the true Church — the saved in Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha-Mashiach, will be gathered together by the Lord’s angels AFTER the Great Tribulation.

Matthew 24:29 Immediately 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.

When I first posted Junkyard Theology several years ago, I was still a follower of the school of Bible prophecy interpretation known as Futurism. The other two schools of Bible prophecy interpretation are called Preterism and Historicism. You can read about it on this website: Preterism, Futurism, Historicism – 3 Schools of Interpretation of Bible Prophecy.

I came to hold the Historicism view of interpretation of Bible prophecy as the correct one and no longer believe in a final seven year scenario of the Antichrist rule on earth. The Antichrist HAS been ruling since the end of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the Roman Catholic Church through the Popes. It’s now called the “Holy See” which has infiltrated all the major and powerful nations of the earth!

The Church has already gone through centuries of tribulation which continues to this very day! Hundreds if not thousands of Christians in Africa have been killed in recent years. Jesus did not spare them from death. God has not promised to save all His children from death and persecution.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Coincidence or miracle?
Just the day you posted this video we received a DVD from one of our friends. It detailed all the current technology and their relevance to the Endtime events, nearly three hours long! We copied it as it was in a native language.

After those three hours, with great fervor, hilariously, at the very end, the guy says receive Jesus and you won’t need to face all this, ’cause He’ll rapture us before it happens!

Needless to say, I stick to Beyond Armageddon by Aurora. Period.

Thanks for the video, I’m downloading it right now!

I believe there is still going to be a 7 year tribulation. Why? Because testimonies from people leaving the occult imply that there are plans for world government. Sure, the anti-Christ spirit has been at work through all false spirituality. There are also implications of one world religion or at least a common religious perspective through the interfaith movement. With the climate change agenda and sustainability goals and the decline of Christianity the world is ripe for the antichrist. God says the rule of the antichrist is God’s judgement upon humanity for rejecting Jesus. As you quoted that the rapture occurs immediately after the tribulation of this those days. There is going to be a climax of tribulation when people can’t buy or sell without the mark. There is and has been talk of microchipping people. And we are now virtually using one financial system.

  Unless our beliefs are based on Holy Scripture, we may be believing false doctrine. You say there will be a 7 year tribulation. Where does it say that in the Bible? Or are you merely repeating what you heard from some preacher? I for one am done with repeating doctrines I hear from a preacher. I don’t want to know what some preacher says the Bible says, I wanna know what the Bible says it says.

I know what you mean, James, by not listening to preachers but examining what they say through the Scriptures and by what the Holy Spirit has taught us (Acts 17:11, 1 John 2:27). I find it interesting the many misinterpretations of the Revelation (Apocalypse) of John.

There is much to discuss, as you have quoted Matthew 24:29-31, it has crossed my mind that it could be even possible that at the time of Christ’s appearing, the earth will have already been set afire by the fountains of the deep welling up lava with sulfurous salt all over the place. Mark 9:49 (WEB) “For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.”

Like Shadrak, Meshak and Abednego, we are spared by the power of God in the furnace, the dead in Christ arise, and we join them to be with the Lord forever. The unrighteous perish in the flames about us before the deceased in Christ are taken first, then us.

This reminds me of the Star Trek movie, In Search of Spock where Captain Kirk shouts in Klingon to beam him up to the Klingon starship as the planet below his feet is disintegrating. (I’m a Trek fan. 😉 )

I’m not saying my interpretation is correct, but I am seeing that the things I believed as a new Christian in the early 1970’s such as Hal Lindsay’s books and Schofield Dispensationalism are all false. There will be no early rapture, and that many Christians may have to die at the hands of others to prove that their faith is worth more than gold perishable by fire (1 Peter 1:7). But, the Lord will give us the strength to withstand even to death, because there is nothing more the Devil can do to us (Luke 12:4).
