The flesh-indulging deception of the pre-tribulation rapture (which claims those in the end times too scared to stand up for Jesus will somehow be whisked to heaven while those willing to die for Jesus are “losers” who are “left behind.”) might not have any support in the Bible, but it has plenty of support among the deceptive leaders of the New Age movement.
“The people who leave the planet during the time of Earth changes do not fit in here any longer, and they are stopping the harmony of Earth. When the time comes that perhaps 20 million people leave the planet at one time there will be a tremendous shift in consciousness for those who are remaining.”
–Barbara Marciniak, Bringers of the Dawn
Another woman, a channeler of a space alien she calls “Ashtar,” claims aliens will use energy beams to bring about a Great Evacuation.
Those who nervously cling to the unbiblical pre-tribulation rapture deception will use New Agers’ testimonies as “proof” to validate their fantasies over the clear teachings of the Bible.
Some even use the testimony of those in Theosophy (basically the worship of Lucifer) to “prove” the pre-trib rapture.
These (for the most part) channeled (demonic) fables give aid and support to the unbiblical pre-tribulation rapture deception. In fact, the ONLY group boosting the yarn of the pre-tribulation rapture more than apostate teachers is the New Age.
Why would the New Age help to publicly promote the idea of a pre-tribulation rapture?
Call it a professional courtesy between two groups with similar goals.
“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.”
–Mark 13:24-27
In the parallel account in Matthew 24:31, Jesus adds: “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet,”
So, Jesus is in the clouds (at His Second Coming, NOT His Third or Fourth): he sends His angels to gather together His elect with a great sound of a trumpet, the angels gather His elect and take them to meet Jesus, who’s waiting in the clouds.
Wonder what that’s all about?
NOTE: Someone asked “If the rapture is not a ‘salvation issue,’ why discuss it?”
Because the rapture is a END TIMES DECEPTION issue and Jesus commanded his followers to not be deceived.

“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”

THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

End Times Prophecy Report 
You’re headline is correct: Pre-Tribulation Rapture Promoted by Enemies of Jesus Christ
The phony “pre-trib rapture” is definitely a hate filled doctrine of Satan.
Christ Lord Jesus Tells us in such simple terms through His Word; IF?/WHEN? people would go to Him and Him only.

I was sitting here enjoying your articles until I came across this one. I have studied bible prophecy for years and prescribe to a pre-trib rapture view. Not because that’s what I’ve been taught but because I’ve studied all the view points and came to my own conclusion. The way you unfairly describe your fellow brethren who happen to believe differently than you do on a doctrine that does not hinge on one’s salvation is harmful to the body of Christ and divisive. Most Christians that I know that share my pre-trib view do not do so because we’re somehow deceived into believing that severe persecution will not likely come first before we meet the Lord in the air. Any serious student of eschatology and bible prophecy can clearly see the signs of the season we’re in and that persecution is coming to America. I am trusting the Lord will prepare me for whatever happens and to equip me with all that I need spiritually to stand firm no matter what comes my way. It just saddens me that there’s so much unnecessary divisiveness in the Church over this. Didn’t Jesus say that they would know that we were His by the way we, within the body, love one another? Your tone in this article is condescending and not loving at all. I pray the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to see that.

Marissa McGee,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
You disagree: that is clear. But you do not say what it is with which you disagree (other than the “tone”).
Do you disagree that the enemies of Jesus Christ promote the pre-tribulation rapture?
Do you disagree that the pre-tribulation rapture is an extremely new idea; one that was unknown the first 1800+ years of Christianity?
Do you disagree on the Bible verses used? When there’s a disagreement over something in the Bible, it helps if you quote the portion of God’s Word with which you disagree.
There’s no argument here: this is Scriptural.
“Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?”
–Galatians 4:16
“And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.”
–John 8:45

I agree with Marissa ,,you are putting fellow Christians down. .there are many Christians who believe in the pre-trib rapture and they are not evil they are true followers of Jesus Christ. .how others discern the scriptures and come up with a different view point as you does not in anyway make them liars or evil. ..would be nice if you showed some respect to your fellow christians. ..God Bless Maranatha Speed The Day

annime5,
Thank you for taking the time to stop and leave a comment.
Actually, “fellow Christians” are very few.
Is there a specific problem with any doctrine? Do you believe that any Scripture was misapplied?
IF ‘yes’, specifically, what is it?
“Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.”
–2Peter 1:20
“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.”
–Romans 16:17
“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”
–1Corinthians 14:33
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
–Galatians 1:10
“…narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
–Matthew 7:14
