Author’s note: This is a Christmas gift of forewarning. It is the order of terrible events prophetically scheduled to take place during the Tribulation. The memorandum is given in love and in advance for those who will choose to be left behind after the removal of believers to Heaven rather than accept God’s grace gift of salvation through His Son Jesus Christ, whose birthday we celebrate today.
Please consider the following grace gift from the Lord who created you and who desires that you be part of His family for all eternity. Follow God’s prescription in this promise. Then, the memorandum that follows will not be for you but for others who have rejected the grace gift offer prior to the Rapture of all believers in Christ for salvation.
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).
MEMORANDUM
Date: (Unknown)
To: Everyone left on planet Earth
From: Those who have vanished
Re: The truth about what happened
This is to tell you exactly what is involved in the sudden disappearance of people around the world. It’s as simple as this: We who belong to Christ were called into the air above the planet in the Rapture. Yes, that kooky, ridiculous, pie-in-the-sky, fly-away event that Tim LaHaye and other preachers of what you’ve thought of as fantasy have been proclaiming could happen at any moment did, in fact, happen.
You are hearing, or will soon hear, every conceivable explanation of what caused this astonishing disappearance. Here are our guesses as to what some of those explanations will be:
- It was some sort of quantum evolutionary leap, which will ultimately be great for mankind.
- It was a mass abduction by extraterrestrials—an outgrowth of the singular abductions that have been reported over the years.
- It was a natural, scientifically explainable cosmic interaction that some human physiologies could resist and others couldn’t.
- It was a supernatural movement into a higher form for those who disappeared–an ascension to godhood.
- It was punishment from the great cosmogonical mind, removing the evil from the world.
Don’t believe any of these or other explanations. To find out the absolute truth about what the mass vanishing actually involves, read in the Bible 1 Corinthians 15:51-55 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Also read John 14:1-3 to find out where we who vanished are presently located.
Now that we are gone, and our leaving has everything to do with your immediate future—the following will happen in order very similar to that listed here.
These and other events will occur over the next seven years:
- Total chaos will rule for a time. (Lk. 21: 25)
- Governments will get control through sometimes harsh methods. (Rev. 17: 12-13)
- One world government will come together. (Ps. 2: 1-3)
- A one-world church will form. (Rev. Ch. 17)
- A world leader from Europe will step to the forefront and take charge of the peace process. (Dan. 9: 26-27)
- Israeli government and Israel’s enemies will sign an agreement of peace that ensures peace and safety. (Dan. 9: 27; Isa. 28: 18; 1 Thes. 5: 3)
- Peace will not last, as a coalition of nations—led by Russia—will invade the Middle East. (Ezek. 38:1-12)
- God, himself, will destroy all but one-sixth of the invader forces. (Ezek. 39: 1-5)
- Much of the world will be hit by the deadly effects of the invasion. This will possibly include chemical, biological, and nuclear aftereffects. (Ezek. 39:6-7; 11-16)
- The world leader will solidify his power following the Russian-led coalition’s destruction. (Dan. 8: 23-25; 11: 36-39)

- At the same time, God will allow strong delusion to come over all who heard the Gospel before the Rapture, but, fully understanding the offer of salvation, refused to accept Christ. These will believe the lies of Antichrist and Satan. (2 Thes. 2: 11-12)
- Antichrist, after months of trying, will finally murder the two Old-Testament-type prophets. But they will come back to life and be taken into Heaven while the world watches. (Rev. 11: 11-12)
- Antichrist will receive a supposedly deadly head wound (Rev. 13: 3).
- Satan and his fallen angels will fight God’s forces, be kicked out of Heaven by Michael and his angels, and will be exiled to planet Earth, where Satan will bring great anger against those who live there (Revelation chapter 12).
- The False Prophet will perform supposed miracles and will call fire down from Heaven –which likely will involve light-like orbs that are those of Satan’s force thrown down to Earth (Revelation chapter 13).
- Antichrist will appear to resurrect from the dead, being then possessed by Satan. (13: 3-4)
- Antichrist will sit in the Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. He will claim to be God and demand worship. (2 Thes. 2: 3-4)
- The False Prophet will direct all worship to Antichrist, and will erect an image of him. (Rev. 13:11-17)
- Antichrist’s regime will institute a computer mark-and-numbers system. It will be both to control the world’s populations and to cause all to worship Antichrist, whose number in all of this is 666. (Rev. 13: 16-18)
- Those who refuse to accept Antichrist’s mark will be murdered. Beheading will apparently be the regime’s chosen method of offing these “traitors.” (Rev. 13: 15; 20: 4)
- Antichrist will begin a systematic genocide against the Jewish race that will make Hitler’s Holocaust look mild by comparison. (Rev. Ch. 12)
- He and the False Prophet will also have all the new believers they can find rounded up, tortured, then murdered. (John. 16: 2; Rev. 13: 8)
- While Antichrist hunts down and murders people by the millions, God’s judgments will begin to fall directly on the rebellious people of the planet. (Rev. 6: 17)
- Millions upon millions will die while God’s wrath pours out in a series of three types of judgments, each consisting of seven specific judgments, for a total of 21 judgments. (Rev. chapters 6 through 18)
- When all is said and done, more than half, possibly as much as two-thirds, of all human life will die of the plagues. (Rev. 6:8; 8:8; 9:18)
- God will prepare, and the Jewish remnant will flee to, a hiding place, probably Petra, the ancient city carved in the rose-red-colored rocks of the Jordanian wilderness. (Rev. 12: 6, 14)
- Antichrist and his forces, led by Satan, will pursue the Jewish people and try to murder them, but the pursuing forces will be swallowed up by the earth. (Rev. 12: 15-16)
- While the Jewish and many of the Gentile people still alive remain safely protected, God’s wrath will fall in greater force. (Rev. 16: 1)
- The sun will go partly dark while at the same time heating up to seven times hotter than normal. (Rev. 16: 8-11)
- A great object will fall into the ocean from space. Its impact will kill life in the sea and most likely will destroy coastal areas with tidal waves. (Rev. 8: 8-9)
- Another asteroid or other mass from space will strike Earth and will poison much of the planet’s fresh water sources. (Rev. 8: 10-11)
- Great, unprecedented earthquakes will happen simultaneously all over the earth. (Matt. 24: 7; Rev. 16: 18)
- People will be so frightened they will have heart attacks just from the things they see are yet to come. (Lk. 21: 26)
- A supernatural plague of huge insect-like creatures will be released from the abyss, and they will sting all who have the mark of the Beast. Men and women will try to commit suicide because of their great pain from the stings and bites of these demonic creatures. (Rev. 9: 3-6)
- God will then move in the minds of all military forces on Earth to gather in the valley of Jezreel, the plains of Esdraelon, near the ancient city of Megiddo. This is Armageddon. (Joel 3: 14; Rev. 16: 16)
- The “Kings of the East,” a huge army out of the Orient numbering more than 200 million troops, will invade to make war with Antichrist’s and the other world’s forces. (Rev. 9: 15-16; 16: 12)
- Jesus said of this time that if He didn’t come back, everyone and everything would die because of the fighting about to take place. (Matt. 24: 22; Mark 13: 20)
- Jesus will return with the armies of Heaven. His armies consist of the mighty angels and Jesus’ Church, which will have been raptured at least seven years earlier. (Rev. 19: 11-14)
- Antichrist’s armies and all others will try to prevent Christ’s return. (Rev. 19: 19)
- Jesus will simply speak, and all armies on Earth will be rendered helpless, most killed. (19: 15-18)
You have only one chance to survive:
Accept Jesus Christ as Savior (read John, chapter 3).
This will involve refusing to take Antichrist’s mark when it is instituted. If you accept the mark, you are eternally doomed.
To those not appointed to God’s wrath (1 Thes. 5:9-11): perhaps you should pass this memorandum to your lost family and friends before you vanish.
Then, post it on your refrigerator.
