Every since I became a Christian one of the things I have asked of Jesus Christ was that if I were to ever say or teach anything that was not correct that you would step in and show me what wrong I have commented so that I may always be right with Christ. A real follower of Christ will always seek to teach all things in accordance with the word of God. I take what Jesus told Paul to heart in Galatians 1:10 which says, “10 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.”
For some time now I have been continually bugged by the doctrine of the rapture of the Church. Jesus just would not let up on me until I did what I read about for the Bereans who checked the word daily as you can read about in the book of Acts 17:11 I quote, ” These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”
Since I became a Christian every Pastor that I have ever sat under taught that the rapture of the Church would be before the tribulation. I can honestly say for years I did not feel the need to even change my views on this doctrine because I really felt that the way I was taught was the way it is to be believed.
Two weeks ago I prayed to Christ a prayer because I just had this feeling in my spirit that I had been teaching something that needed to be changed. So I did what I normally do I asked Jesus to show me what was wrong! After speaking to Christ about this He began to speak to me about this pre-trib rapture doctrine.
I came to find out that if a person were to put aside all the teachings that he or she had gotten from some one and, went solely by what Jesus says via His word in the Bible than truth would come into focus. Little did I know that what I saw from such a study would rock my world. I ask you this question. What if you were taught something by your pastor that you came to find out was a false doctrine. Would you be man enough to hold to what Paul wrote us in Galatians 1:10 which says, “10 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.” ? Life is very short and if you truly want to make an impact for Christ you will follow Galatians 1:10 to the letter. I want to thank Jesus for doing what I asked, to give me correction though my own son Adam DiMora. I came to learn that my son Adam was also going though the same thing I was with the pre-trib doctrine. I was going to make an in depth video on this issue but again the Lord me a video that sums it up best. I will say this, this video did not cover the issue of who it is that is withholding the Antichrist back before the Antichrist is revealed. If you do a in depth study of who has been holding the force of Satan back you will discover it has been Michael the archangel. I will cover this issue below as well.
For years I have been warning that Christians were not ready for what is coming on this Earth. After coming to see what Jesus has given me on this topic from His word it is much worse than I ever realized. I welcome your comments after you watch this long video.
Today someone emailed me to tell me that Michael archangel cannot be the one holding back the Antichrist from being revealed. He cites Jude 9 and says that Michael wasn’t even strong enough to handle getting Moses body. Which by itself may appear to be true but it is not. Let me explain.
In the Book of Jude, we read that Satan and the Archangel Michael were having a dispute, and the text says that Michael dared not rail against Satan:
But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” (Jude 9)
Michael deferred to Satan; so apparently, [before his fall] Lucifer was higher than Michael. Lucifer never had more inherent authority than the other highest created angels; however, initially God granted him administrative authority over all the angels: You were the anointed cherub who covers. (Ezekiel 28:14)
Who covers tells us that Lucifer was the ruler over all of the innumerable angels. It seems that he had the top position in the governance and control among the angels in God’s service on behalf of the entire created realm until he fell [and became Satan]:How you have fallen from heaven O star of the morning, son of the dawn! (Isaiah 14:12)
Today, Satan has remarkable forces (the one third of the angels who defected), but he is not more powerful than the other Archangels are — including Michael. That is important to say because if Satan has more inherent power than the others do then he would be stronger than they are, and he is NOT. Michael Michael is the only Archangel who is named and identified as Archangel in the Bible. In 1 Thessalonians 4, we read:…with the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of God… (1 Thessalonians 4:16)
Did not God promise in Daniel 12:4 that in the last days knowledge would increase? I do believe this is part of this last day knowledge. For many Pastors they will not change course in the matter of this doctrine but I like Paul want to preach what Jesus has given me from His word!

Totally correct Frank
I thank you for your service, Frank. You have studied “to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). God bless you and your ministry, brother!
Frank, I have followed your work for many years, as you may recall. I respect yours and everyone else’s right and responsibility to interpret the Scripture as you become convicted. Unfortunately, it appears that for some reason you have chosen to follow the teachings of individuals regarding the doctrine of the rapture who, in the name of straightforwardness, have chosen to ignore the essence of the Bible’s teachings on the subject pronounced by the Apostle Paul and even confirmed by Peter. I will not attempt to rehash these issues as you no doubt have had ample time to consider your position thoroughly prior to taking a public stance on the matter. While I regret the amazing lack of scholarship that leads you to your position, I wish the best for you as you continue to seek your way in the things of the Lord. Blessings to you.

Those who don’t like what I said are writing me and so far only one person
has taken the time
to tell me why they think this view I gave was wrong. Even that person had
holes in his view
that can not be answered unless you hold to the mid-trib view. As I tell
everyone, show me how
I have missed the mark. If you write me back cite the scriptures you are
using to defend your
view. Let us reason together in love.
Thank you
Frank
Frank, I have just watched this video as I hadn’t had time when it first came out. I now believe that we WILL go through tribulation before that day of the Lord comes. Never had I looked at it this way before. The Bible is definitely very clear on this point that the “rapture” will only come after the tribulation and THEN the sun and moon no longer give their light; then He will take the dead first then we who are still alive will be gathered together with Him in the air. My hope and prayer is that I will be able to endure all the tribulations to come should I still be alive when this happens. Thank you for opening my eyes to the scripture on this.
