Nuggets from Occult Invasion—Replacement Theology

Jay Gary writes, “For on January 1, 2001, we will celebrate the start of the third millennium of the Christian era. Truly kings and prophets longed to see our day!” What an astonishing statement! In fact, kings and prophets and true Christians through the centuries have longed for Christ to take them to heaven as He promised, not to see the world continue for a third millennium since Christ.

“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also” (John:14:3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

“…how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come” (1 Thessalonians:1:9-10 [9] For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; [10] And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

“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:4:16-18 [16] 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: [17] 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.
