When I first believed I thought I knew so much about the bible!! Since that time (over the past 29 years), I realize how much I don’t know and am still blown away on a regular basis with how deep and complex the bible is. Over the years I have been fascinated with types and shadows in the bible and was so excited when the Lord put it on my heart to search for types and shadows of the pre-tribulation rapture. This is the first in a series (God willing) since there are too many for one video. Join me today as we learn about the open door and how Lot was pulled out of danger before destruction.
Please consider subscribing to my channel, and feel free to provide feedback so that we can continue the discussion on this topic.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9
And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.” Genesis 19:5
And they said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.” So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door. But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door. Genesis 19:9-11
For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; 2 Peter 2:4-6
and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)—then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, 2 Peter 2:7-9
After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” Revelation 4:1
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:17
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 2 Thessalonians 2:7
The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Revelation 3:7-8
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:9-10

Hey Carol, here is my irrefutable evidence we are not in the Tribulation! When we get saved in the Church Age, we get a redeemed soul and a quickened (or made alive) spirit and the Holy Spirit moves in us forever! Jesus calls us a new creature and it's SEALED until the Day of Redemption and it's circumcised from the flesh without hands! Also, the Church is promised up to five crowns.
The ones beheaded in Revelation 6:9 & 7:9 are JUST SOULS and they are NOT wearing crowns!!
This alone completely disqualifies the Body of Christ Church in the Tribulation!!! We escape JUDGMENT as Days of Noah and Days of Lot!
Keep up the great work! See you in the clouds! Maranatha
Awesome breakdown!! ❤️👑
It’s hard to like or comment because one is required to sign in to google with their google password.
I enjoyed your teaching! I love “types and shadows”! God is so merciful and yes it would be out of character not to have a rapture. 😀
Thank you for pointing out another type for me, also love uncovering types and foreshadows. I had the same idea about the blindness of those men.
I love this so much…the connections you made here between Lot and us. Amazing that Lot was snatched through the door to safety as we will be snatched through the Door Who is Christ! Love it!
I am excited to be new to your channel. God bless you!
Thank you for your awesome message, brother Tom mentioned you on his channel today ❤️🙏
From today I am a new subscriber 🤗
Brother Tom / Watchman River told us about your channel in his video today. It's nice to see someone else posting videos about the rapture. I liked and subscribed. Please capitalize the word Bible when you type it because it is God's Holy Word. Thank you for encouraging people about the soon-coming rapture and how our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is about to call us home. See you in the clouds soon.
You are very correct about all those Scriptures you've read. I also believe Revelation 4:1 is a picture of the rapture. If you noticed, it starts with "After this" and ends with 'after this." After what? After the Church Age! Jesus just spoke in chapters 2 and 3 to the churches, so it really makes sense. I really enjoyed this video. God bless you richly, Carol. I can't wait to see you in heaven. Please keep the videos coming. Jesus IS Lord !
Tom mentioned you today and he's right… you speak so well and I really enjoyed watching! Thank you for sharing such good content! New sub!
Tom from Watchman River got me to you sister in Christ! This is the first video I'm listening to by you! God's richest blessings!!!
Tom sent us here, Carol. Blessings, my sister in Christ. Maranatha
Thank you, my Sis!!! Do you know there isn't Any Greater Gift you could share with the world (your viewers/listeners) than the Word of God!
"Beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of Life…."
Words by P.P.Bliss
So I thank you so much and keep up the great work! Prayers to you and the lost!!
God Bless you Carol…Watchman River mentioned you!
It is just a beautiful message. Thank you so much sister
God sent his Son Jesus to die for us. Returning faith, love and obedience is the only response I could give for such a loving sacrifice. Praise Jesus Christ for all your preaching of his Word to the lost.
I love your story about how you joined the Bible study to try to prove the Bible wrong and then became a believer. Oh the power of the Holy Spirit!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Watchman River mentioned your channel and I wanted to check it out! New sub 🙋🏼♀️🤗
Look forward to listening and watching more!
Maranatha!
Hello
The rapture is the catching up to meet Jesus as he descends earth at the second coming
The Christian hope is not to “go to heaven” but to inherit the earth made new
When a royal visitor or important figure would come you would go out to meet them and escort them into the city
Jesus is coming to the earth to rule the nations with believers
Believers will go up to meet him and descend to the earth with him
There is no pre second coming resurrection
The resurrection of believers is at the second coming
1 Cor 15
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.
Not before
The Christian hope is not to “go to heaven” but to inherit the earth made new
Praise the Lord 1993 was when I was saved the Best thing to happen to me was accepting Jesus as my Savior and telling others of our Wonderful Saviour. Last of all Jesus is going to Rapture us soon😊
Thank you! MARANATHA! 🕊❤️✝️🙏
Hi Carol, when I heard about you on Tom's channel I came over to see, wondering why your channel isn't growing as fast as others. The thing that jumped right out at me was all of your videos have a cover photo of yourself. Not to criticize, you are a sister in the Lord and an attractive person, but the point is that it gave the impression of…well, let's just say that if you look at Tom's videos for instance, he doesn't have cover photos where you see him first and that being the primary focus.
These words are intended for good. To build up and not to tear down.
You have another new subscriber! I thank Tom-Watchman River- for sharing your name and channel! You have a wonderful testimony, and your love for Jesus shines through you! Thank you for your time and obedience to the Lord in starting this channel! Jesus IS coming so very soon! We will all meet one day – before we know it!!
Thank God for you sister Carol and brother Tom, both of you know your Lord Jesus and it just warms my heart and soul to listen to both of you, God's love comes into my very soul and you both lift me up to my Lord Jesus and he just carries me away into his loving arms and fills my every being of life! I wanted to share with you that my Birthday is 7-7 and when I clicked on your count button it went on 77, I just wanted to share that with you, how God does such sweet deep things with us and makes us feel special! Thanks, Carol, for your loving blog on our Lord and Savior Lord Jesus Christ and know the time is close!
GBU too Carol…a wonderful elaboration of the pre-trib signs
Come to the Lord for salvation. This is coming soon. Frightening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiUHDhniho8
Jesus Himself told us when He would come.
Matt 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.
You can eisegete the scripture all day long, but it will never happen as you say. Jesus is the one to trust on the matter, and He will not be coming anytime before the Tribulation.
