The Bible declares that there is a FINAL GENERATION. Due to the miraculously restored existence of Israel and the rapid convergence of all the end times biblical signs, many prophecy teachers sincerely believe that this is the FINAL GENERATION. More prophetic information is devoted to them in the Bible than any other generation that ever lived, including those who were alive at the first coming of Christ! Apocalypse Road is written primarily for that FINAL GENERATION!

There is a strong possibility that the FINAL GENERATION is alive today. If so, some members within this specific generation will undoubtedly experience both the Post-Rapture / Pre-Tibulationgap period and the ensuing seven-year Tribulation Period. If this is the case, then everyone that is alive today, and up until the time of the Rapture, is written about in some unfulfilled end time’s Bible prophecy. This means that you, the reader can know your future!

If you are a believer and the Rapture has yet to occur, then you will be Raptured, providing that you don’t die beforehand. If you, or someone you love, are an unbeliever at the time of the Rapture, then you or that loved one fall into one of the Post-Rapture people groups listed below.

The Post Rapture People Categories:

1. Saved Jews

1. 144,000 Witnesses, (Revelation 7:1-8 and 14:1-5)
2. 2 Witnesses, (Revelation 11:1-12)

CAVEAT: Please note that these two witnesses may not presently be on the planet, but instead might miraculously appear on the earth when the timing of their ministries commences. The biblical precedent for this occurred at the Mount of Transfiguration with Moses and Elijah in Matthew 17.

c. Faithful Believing Remnant of Israel, (Zechariah 13:9) – who make Jesus “Little flock” of that coming day (Luke 12:32).

2. Saved Gentiles
a. 5th Seal Saints, (Revelation 6:9-11) These are people who appear to become believers in the Post Rapture-Pre-Tribulation gap period. The 5th Seal Saints will be martyred for the word of God and their Christian testimonies. They are portrayed in prophecy as slain souls.

b. Fellow Servants of the 5th Seal Saints, (Revelation 6:11) These are people who appear to become believers during the first half of the Tribulation Period. They will also be martyred for the same spiritual reasons as the 5th Seal Saints.

c. The Brethren of the Fellow Servants of the Fifth Seal Saints, (Revelation 6:11, 7:9-17, 15:2 and 20:4) These are people who appear to become believers during the second half of the Tribulation period, i.e. the “Great Tribulation.” They will be martyred for refusing to worship the image of the Antichrist in Revelation 13:15.

d. The Sheep Gentiles, (Matthew 25:31-40) These are Christians that survive through the Gap and the Tribulation Periods. They will likely include the faithful remnants from Egypt, (Isaiah 19:23-25) Assyria, (Isaiah 19:23-25) Jordan, (Jeremiah 48:47, 49:6) Iran, (Jeremiah 49:39) and elsewhere.

3. Unsaved Jews

a. Orthodox Jews, (Isaiah 28:15, 18) These Jews will rebuild the third Jewish temple and reinstate the sacrificial system of the Mosaic Law. They will be among the two-thirds of the Jewish peoples that are killed by the Antichrist in Zechariah 13:8.

b. The Apostate Secular Jews, this is a presumptive category for Jews that may not be classified as either the faithful remnant of saved Jews, or unsaved Orthodox Jews. Since they remain as unbelievers in Christ, their prophetic future is the same as the unbelieving Orthodox Jews.

4. Unsaved Gentiles

a. The Harlot World Religion Worshippers (Revelation 2:20-23 and 6:7-8 and 17:6, 15)

b. Antichrist worshippers, (Revelation 13:16-17, 16:2) These are those who receive the “mark of the Beast.”

c. Goat Gentiles, (Matthew 25:41-46) Unbelievers that survive the Trib-period. (Some of these may have or not have believed in either the Harlot or Antichrist systems).

Why Should a Believer Care About Those Left Behind?

When a Church age believer truly comprehends the tragic plights of the Post Rapture populations, they should be burdened with a sincere concern for their well-being. If this is the FINAL GENERATION, then these peoples are among us today. It could be a spouse, child, grandchild, friend, neighbor, co-worker, business associate, or someone else within the sphere of your influence. If they don’t accept Christ as their Savior prior to the Rapture, they run the high risk of being killed for their faith, or being eternally damned for their lack of it.

The Apocalypse Road is a FINAL WARNING to the FINAL GENERATION to get right with the Lord NOW, before it’s too late!

The Beginning of the ‘Birth Pangs’ (v 8) Explained:

Today many Christians today are looking for the signs of His coming but they likely will not see any such signs. This is because the birth pang signs Jesus spoke of will begin during the time Gap between the Rapture and the 7-year Tribulation period.

¹ And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. ² And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down [a prophecy fulfilled in AD70].

³ And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? ⁴ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. ⁵ For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

⁶ And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. ⁷ For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. ⁸ All these are the beginning of sorrows [ some say ‘birth pangs’]. Matthew 24:1-8 (KJV)

⁹ Then shall they deliver you [Jesus’ little flock of the time of the Tribulation period, Luke 12:32] up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. ¹⁰ And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. ¹¹ And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. ¹² And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. ¹³ But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. ¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations [by the 144,00 witness]; and then shall the end come.
