Christian End Times Movie ‘Before The Wrath’ Makes A Very Compelling Case For The Pretribulation Rapture With An Unexpected Twist At The End

Christian End Times Movie 'Before The Wrath' Makes A Very Compelling Case For Pretribulation Rapture With An Unexpected Twist At The End
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Researchers in the Middle-East have rediscovered ancient anthropological evidence from the time of Christ that reveals exactly how and why the Pretribulation Rapture must occur; unveiling new biblical insight that will reignite hope for believers and prepare the world for what’s coming.

Let me just say at the outset of this review, I very much enjoyed the movie. The production values were high, the music was great, and the storyline very compelling as it unfolded with a beautiful story of a Galilean wedding in the First Century AD. The best part, of course, was the fact that it accurately defended the biblical doctrine of the Pretribulaton Rapture of the Church, a subject all of you know, is one of my favorite things to discuss. I highly recommend people watch this movie, but fair warning, it has a few notable misses we also need to discuss.

“For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 (KJB)

‘Before The Wrath’ is an excellent movie to watch if you have some friends who attend doctrine-deficient megachurches and are not really sure what the Pretribulation Rapture is all about. It will be quite the eye-opener for people like that. It is also a very good movie to watch with your Post Toastie friends, as it makes a great case for the Pretrib being a must for the born again Church. But it has one or two notable misses that must be addressed if you believe in rightly dividing and being dispensationally correct, as we do here at Now The End Begins.

THE TRUE IDENTITY OF THE TEN VIRGINS FROM MATTHEW 25 REVEALED AND IT JUST MAY SHOCK YOU

The Ten Virgins Are Not Any Kind Of Christians Doctrinally

The Ten Virgins we see in Matthew 25 are not Christians doctrinally, they represent Jewish Tribulation Saints who will go through the time of Jacob’s trouble, a time where people are saved by a combination of faith plus works, and not by grace through faith alone as it is for us in the Church Age. The “works” they will have to do is to not take the Mark of the Beast, and to not worship the image, name or number of the Antichrist. In ‘Before The Wrath’, at around the 0:58:00 mark one of the commentators says that the Ten Virgins represents Christians waiting for the Rapture, when in fact they represent Tribulation Saints waiting for Jesus to return at the Second Coming, and that brings us to our next point.

“Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.” Luke 12:35,36 (KJB)

The Ten Virgins do not attend the wedding, for when King Jesus returns He is already married. See the verse from Luke 12 with telling them to have their loins girded and to have their ‘lights burning’ as they wait for the Groom to come from the wedding? The 5 virgins with oil in their lamps will be allowed to come into the wedding reception, the ones with no oil in their lamps will not. Only those with “burning lights” allowed in, and you need oil for that to happen. These are Jews coming out of the Tribulation, not Christians who were already raptured 7 years earlier! So where did the wedding take place? Right here:

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” Revelation 19:7,8 (KJB)

The wedding does not take place on earth, it takes place in Heaven before King Jesus returns with His Bride at the Second Coming. The parable of the Ten Virgins is such a great place to do some teaching on rightly dividing, but ‘Before The Wrath’ completely misses the boat here. It takes the Ten Virgins, spiritualizes a doctrinal teaching on the Second Coming, and makes them people who miss the Pretribulation Rapture, which is not the Second Coming. Speaking of the Second Coming, that brings us to my next point.

The Pretribulaton Rapture Of The Church Is Not The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ

Sadly, ‘Before The Wrath’ makes another major stumble here and over and over refers to the Rapture and the Second Coming as if they were the same event. Not only do most of the end times ‘featured experts‘ make this error, the script also has narrator Kevin Sorbo, who does a great job vocally, also superimposing language related to the Second Coming over the teaching of the Pretribulation Rapture. When Jesus comes for His Church, to catch us away in the clouds, that is not the Second Coming, it is not the return of Jesus. The Second Coming is Revelation 19, the Pretribulation Rapture is Revelation 4. Jesus only returns once, not twice.

“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.” Revelation 4:1,2 (KJB)

The movie seems to merge Jesus returning at the Second Coming as King of Kings, with Jesus pulling us up into the clouds to take us to the home He’s prepared for us. The two are not connected doctrinally at all. At the Pretribulation Rapture, Jesus pulls us up to be with Him in the clouds, at the Second Coming, Jesus physically returns to the earth with us, His redeemed and raptured Bride. The movie also misses by not consistently using the term ‘pretribulation rapture’ opting instead for simply ‘the Rapture’ in most places. This is confusing because there is a rapture of the Tribulation Saints in Matthew 24 that has nothing to do with the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. This is where the Post Toasties who don’t rightly divide get all messed up. They see a rapture  at the end of Matthew 24 and just assume it’s Church Age Christians when it is not.

HOW THE BORN AGAIN NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH CAN BE BOTH THE BRIDE AND BODY OF JESUS CHRIST AT THE SAME TIME

The Beautiful Wedding Of The Bride

Now this is the part of ‘Before The Wrath’ that I liked the best, how they show us what a First Century wedding was like in Galilee, and the awesome and beautiful connection that has to the doctrine of the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. It is, without a doubt, the best part of the movie and the most-powerful point it makes for the Pretrib. It is so powerful, that I will leave it as a complete surprise for you to experience yourself.

“Before The Wrath’ features commentary from some well-known favorites like Jan Markell of Olive Tree Ministries, Amir Tsarfati of Behold Israel, and Pastor JD Farag. I absolutely recommend you see this movie, I bought it on Amazon Prime and streamed it last night. You will definitely enjoy it, you will learn something new about the Pretribulation Rapture you didn’t likely know before, and if you adjust for the two places where they missed the mark, it will be an highly edifying cinematic experience.

The United States And Israel Launch Major Joint Combat Operation On Iran As Tehran Strikes Back With Missile Attacks On US Bases In Middle East

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

U.S. and Israel forces launched a broad, coordinated military offensive against Iran early this morning, targeting Iranian military infrastructure, missile sites, and leadership compounds

On our Podcast yesterday, we told you that war with Iran would come within 24 hours and that’s exactly what we are watching here in the early morning hours on this Saturday. The goal of this attack is to remove the current leadership of the Ayatollah and restore Iran to their pre-1978 Persian heritage. Iran becoming Persia again? That put’s us squarely back on the end times timeline and Middle East Bible prophecy as we draw closer and closer to the final countdown. Trump said on Truth Social this morning “We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally… obliterated. We are going to annihilate their navy,” Let’s see what actually happens.

“The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.” Daniel 8:20 (KJB)

Israel has named this campaign ‘Operation Lion’s Roar’ which from a prophetic perspective is quite tantalizing. You see, Israel may be far removed from a right relationship with the Lord, and they are, and the Jews may be strangers to the Book, and they are, but you are never going to get away from the Lord’s hand on them in the end times. They will soon come face to face with the actual Lion from the tribe of Judah in the upcoming time of Jacob’s trouble, and in that day they will mourn and wail. In the meantime, pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the salvation of the Jewish people, that many might turn to Jesus of Nazareth in these closing moments of the Church Age.

Trump announces ‘major combat operations’ in Iran

FROM THE AP: The U.S. and Israel launched a major attack on targets across Iran on Saturday. U.S. President Donald Trump urged Iranians to take cover during the strikes, but then: “When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take.” It was an extraordinary appeal that suggested the allies could be seeking to end of the country’s theocracy after decades of tensions.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed that sweeping goal. “Our joint operation will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their fate into their own hands,” Netanyahu said.

In a video posted on social media, Trump claimed Iran has continued to develop its nuclear program and plans to develop missiles to reach the U.S.

The first strikes of the attack appeared to target the compound home to Iran’s 86-year-old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in downtown Tehran. It wasn’t immediately clear if he was there at the time. Smoke could be seen rising from the Iranian capital.

The attack quickly expanded beyond Iran. Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard said it responded by launching a “first wave” of drones and missiles targeting Israel, where a nationwide warning was issued as the military said it bring down Iranian fire. READ MORE

OPERATION EPIC FURY has struck a girl’s school in Iran, killing 51 children and wounding 60 more. This is an absolutely terrible start, and borders on the level of war crimes. The US and Israel need to issue an immediate statement and apology.

The Garza West Unit In Beeville Texas Which Houses Up To 2,278 Inmates Has Reached Out To Us For King James Bibles And Christian Literature

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Garza West Unit in Beeville Texas is a hotbed of soulwinning and gospel preaching and now they need King James Bibles

The Garza West Unit Transfer Facility is a mixed medium security prison located in Beeville Texas.  The unit can house up to 2,278 male offenders of G1, G3, and transient custody levels.  Co-located with Garza East, Garza West is situated on 304 acres.  Garza West Unit is responsible for the initial intake and processing of offenders from the surrounding region into the Texas Department of Corrections. While incarcerated at Garza West, inmates can receive medical, dental, and mental health services. But what they really need is the gospel and the King James Bible, lots of them, amen?

“To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.” Isaiah 42:7 (KJB)

Chaplain Hall writes to say “We have about 4 different Christian services with volunteers who travel anywhere from 1-2 hrs to either speak in a service or conduct a class in our Faith Based Dorm.  My favorite ministry related activity is teaching in our Faith Based Dorm.  While I am a Baptist Minister and Chaplain I push for real change in the inmate’s lives and tend not to push a sinners prayer or altar calls as I believe they usually produce shallow converts.  I ask for Bibles because we have a constant stream of NEW inmates who come in weekly from county prisons. We do not receive funding from anyone and rely exclusively on donations from outside ministries.” And there it is, chaplains and jail ministers all across America have an urgent need for Bibles, and Bibles Behind Bars stands in the gap to make sure they get them. We need your help to make sure the flow of Bibles doesn’t stop going out, come help us!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between.

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS UPDATE: American Citizens At Embassy In Israel Are Ordered To Get Out As ‘Peace President’ Trump Prepares For Massive Iran Attack

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

All signs are pointing to an imminent Trump led invasion by the US military against the Khomeini regime in Iran

The headlines are swirling again — aircraft carriers repositioned, bombers forward deployed, evacuation advisories issued, Iran threatening retaliation, and President Trump warning Tehran that time is running out. Whether a strike comes this week, next month, or not at all is almost secondary to the larger reality staring us in the face: The Middle East is once again the prophetic epicenter of the world.

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3 (KJB)

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, Iran has been tightening its grip around Israel for years — through Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, militias in Syria and Iraq, and direct missile and drone capabilities. Meanwhile, America — whether under Trump or any other president — is pulled deeper into the region’s unavoidable gravitational field. Why? Because Jerusalem is the burdensome stone. Notice what that verse says — all the people of the earth. That includes superpowers. That includes alliances. That includes nations that think they can manage the situation through deterrence, diplomacy, or force projection. Making its debut in this conflict will be the brand-new kamikaze drone unit known as Task Force Scorpion. And what about the Board of Peace? We have all the updates you need to know about what’s happening in the Middle East, and all around the globe.
