Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

Because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

The Bible does tell us the year Jesus will be born (Daniel taught the Magi the signs in the heavens based on a prophecy in the book of Numbers). So they see the sign they know He is born. The Bible also said the city in which Jesus would be born. It also said that He would go to Egypt and then come back to Israel from Egypt. Then in Daniel the Bible tells us the year Jesus will be crucified. Some have shown how this was based on the laws in the Torah about how many years the land was to rest. But it gets better, there is a prophecy from Ezekiel that says how many years the ten tribes would be punished before being able to return to the land and how many years Judah would be punished before returning to the land. If they refused to repent then the punishment would be increased by seven, again referring to the books of Moses on how God administers punishment. Interestingly the only year when both Judah and the ten tribes would be able to return at the same time using that formula was 1948. But it gets better. Not only does the Bible tell us the year Jesus will be crucified, it also tells us in Isaiah He will be crucified and then John the Baptist told us that "He was the lamb of God". Even if you didn't put 2 and 2 together at that point for months before the Passover Jesus told the disciples that He was going up to Jerusalem and they would crucify Him. This means not only did the Bible tell us the year, it told us the day and even the hour that Jesus would be crucified. But it gets better because the wave offering on the Feast of First fruits depicts the resurrection of Jesus on the same day He was resurrected and you need to take a sheaf of barley indicating the saints that were raised from the dead as well. The seven day feast of unleavened bread which begins at Passover depicts the church age. Then Shavuot depicts the ascension of Jesus into heaven which took place on Ascension day. Then 50 days later you have the Feast of new wine where the Priests pour out the wine depicting the Spirit onto the earth. They do that at 9am. Sure enough at 9am on Pentecost (feast of new wine) the Spirit was poured out onto the earth. But it gets better than that. Jesus said this evil and adulterous generation would be given the sign of Jonah. Halfway into the year the disciples of Jesus begin to preach in Jerusalem to repent, just as Jonah took a half day journey after being spit up onto the beach by the great fish and then began to preach that in 40 days the city would be overthrown. At exactly 40 years to the day the temple was cast down (the 9th of Av, the Feast of New wine is on the 8th of Av). But are the Jews the only ones in this evil and adulterous age, what about the world? In the story of Jonah Nineveh gets a reprieve because they can't discern, Jerusalem didn't get a reprieve because as the Lord told them since they claim they can see their sin remains. But wow, it gets even better, if we go 40 jubilees from Pentecost we arrive at the 9th of Av in 2031. Is that when Armageddon will be? If so we would expect the seven year tribulation to begin 7 years earlier in 2024. So why do people say it is a seven year tribulation? Because the Bible is very specific about that. How specific, you would be amazed at how specific. For example, the feast of Atonement is when the books are opened and you get to see who is in the book of life and who is in the book of death. The Feast of Trumpets is a two day event that kicks off "Jacob's trouble", ten days before the Feast of Atonement. Seven days before the Feast of Atonement the High priest changes into a linen garment and is taken to the Temple chamber to be kept safe for one week while he learns all that is necessary for the upcoming ceremony. This is a type of the rapture. So if Atonement is 2031 seven years earlier is 2024 and three years before that is 2021. Check the dates, the worldwide Pandemic began on Feast of Trumpets in 2020 with global shutdowns and on the Feast of Trumpets in 2021 they began illegal vaccine mandates. It was a two year period marking the beginning of Jacob's trouble.

In 2017 there was a sign in the heavens called the Revelation 12 sign, that took place as a four year warning, similar to the parable about the fig tree being given four years to produce fruit before the order being given to cut it down.

Now if the tribulation begins in 2024 that would mean the halfway point would be around May of 2028, exactly 80 years after Israel was formed, similar to the prophecy in Psalm 90. That would be when the Jews would have to flee from the Antichrist.

1Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels?

This word "judge" means to pick out, to esteem, to prefer, to rule, to govern. It is used in the verse "judge not that ye be not judged". It is also translated as condemn in "God sent not His own son into the world to condemn the world". It is translated as "determined" in this verse "and when it was determined that we should set sail".

So this is strange that beings that are greater than us, that have been around much longer than us should be judged by us. Why is that?

The angels know God the creator but they don't know Jesus the Savior. Who do you want judging you, someone who knows all about how things should be and how they were created, or someone who knows all about a savior that can save someone who has fallen?

I was a teacher and a teacher is a judge. You will be grading kids, judging their work, and having an impact on their life, probably as much as any judge in a law court will and for most of these kids a lot more than any judge. Your job is not to say "guilty" or "failure". Your job is to be a savior. Ignorance is like a pit, if you can't pull the kid out now while their young you know they will suffer the rest of their lives. So as a teacher you are trying to pull the kids out of this pit. Half the kids are diligent little hikers and will climb out themselves. What makes a good teacher is determined by what happens with the other half. If you have been saved you know what I am talking about. But imagine this, angels don't know what I am talking about!

Do we ever see angels in the Bible judging Lucifer? No, instead we are told they don't dare bring a railing accusation against him (Jude 1:9). Apparently Michael was to get the body of Moses and Lucifer tried to take it. Michael had to claim that his orders came from the Lord and hence outranked Satan. But that is not judging. If a captain has orders to seize evidence in a crime and a general wants to take that evidence, the captain shows that his orders come from the Commander in Chief and hence outranks the general. That is not judgement, rather it is simply following orders. That is mind blowing to me.

Jesus is the judge and He was not sent to condemn the world but to save it. In the same way teachers are not hired to fail kids but to teach them so that they will pass. This is probably the single biggest lesson that a principal will try to instill into their teachers. Whenever you meet with the principal they want to know who is failing and why and what have you done about it. Obviously it is very easy to just pass everyone, but then they want to know why kids who passed your class fail the year end exam.

So likewise, imagine we are sailing in a ship and we have to determine the best course. We look at the weather and the predictions and we have to decide if we can make it to the next harbor or if we'll be caught in the storm. Surely angels can do that. We were made lower than the angels. But sailing a ship is an analogy, what we are determining is the best way to save someone and that is why being made lower than the angels helps. It is very difficult for a superstar like Michael Jordan to be a coach. On the other hand it is much easier for Steve Kerr, or Phil Jackson to be a coach. These guys were role players, they can see how all ten players can play a role, they can help the less talented to do what they need to be a contributing member of the team. Because we were made lower we can empathize.

James said that we can look in the mirror. For example, I used to hear many teachers talk about the kids being lazy. I looked in the mirror and knew that I was very lazy when I was a student. During my first three years in high school I didn't take a book home once, never studied for a test, didn't take notes in class and yet the school I was at considered me "the hardest working student they had ever seen". That is because I made sure I did 100% of my school work at school and to study for tests I simply gave 100% of my attention during class. So when I look in the mirror I know that I was lazy and yet I did well in school, so I don't have an issue with kids who appear lazy. I can show the lazy kids how to be successful. Maybe angels have no idea what it is to be lazy, so they can't empathize and they can't determine the best way to help that lazy kid to succeed.

They want a sign that proves Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath (1)

12 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

This is a very difficult time, in the previous chapter Jesus gets a message from John the Baptist who has been imprisoned. They were using lawfare against the disciples, kind of like what they did recently to the January 6th political prisoners or what they are doing to Trump. John the Baptist got caught up in politics, got imprisoned and soon would be beheaded. What becomes abundantly clear in the gospels is how everyone, from all 12 disciples to John the Baptist, to even Jesus family did not understand the plan of salvation. It had not been revealed to any of them yet, only to Jesus. Later, Paul would get the revelation and say that what he was unveiling had not been previously revealed. But now in this chapter we see them accusing the disciples of Jesus of breaking the sabbath. That is a very serious charge, you can get stoned to death for that. You could compare that to what they are doing today trying to make the Bible "hate speech", trying to make preaching the gospel illegal, and even in the church they attack those who are talking about prophecies being fulfilled. It is a forbidden topic much like the Sabbath was 2,000 years ago.

3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; 4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

Jesus compares himself and his disciples to David and his men when they fled from Saul. That is awesome, imagine today you are preaching the gospel, speaking the word of God, or sharing about the soon coming of the Lord and you are attacked. It is like being one of David's mighty men.

5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? 6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

The priests need to circumcise children on the 8th day, it doesn't matter if it is a sabbath or not. Circumcision is a sign that you have a covenant with God. Today the sign that we have a covenant with God is the work that the cross of Christ does on our heart. That is the true circumcision according to Paul in Galatians. So when you are out preaching the gospel, or speaking the word, you must do it "in Christ". If you do that then you are a priest, performing the priestly service and you are guiltless.

7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

With what judgement you judge you shall be judged. This is the main lesson we are all to learn in this lifetime. You reap what you sow. Now do you want to be judged by a judge who demands sacrifice or one who seeks to show mercy? If you know that this is the case and that one day you will be judged in the same way that you are judging people today you would never condemn the guiltless. You would never be demanding sacrifice. Instead you would be seeking to show mercy at every possible opportunity.

8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

This is a major revelation. This was not revealed prior to Jesus ministry. But David was Lord of the sabbath day when he got the bread for his men and the priests are Lord of the sabbath when they are circumcising the new born babies. The Messiah is called "Lord" by David and so if David was Lord of the sabbath then the Messiah surely is. Jesus is also the High Priest who enters into the Holy of Holies and offers up His own blood to redeem us. Therefore He is clearly Lord of the sabbath. The ultimate sabbath rest is death, Jesus was crucified and put to death right before the sabbath and was in the grave for the entire sabbath. So being raised from the dead was the ultimate proof that He is Lord of the sabbath.

9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

He spoke to the disciples of John the Baptist who were upset that John was in prison and He spoke to the Pharisees that were upset that His disciples were eating grain on the Sabbath. He compares this part of His ministry to David fleeing Saul who is trying to kill Him and He compares the work His disciples are doing to the priests ministering in the temple.

10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

The way on which you phrase the question is critical. It is not legal for a doctor to work on the Sabbath.

11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

But He speaks in a way that they all understand. This is an agricultural community. A sheep does not understand that it is the sabbath. They have a survival instinct and they would harm themselves trying to get out of a pit in a panic. It would be cruel for the farmer to see this sheep but then say "sorry, I'll pull you out tomorrow". That is not what a "good shepherd" would do. Notice how no one says they would not lay hold of the sheep. Even the rabbis know this and keep quiet because they in turn rely on the farmers offering sacrifices from the herds.

12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

This is truly stunning. When you read the Old Testament people are put to death for violating the sabbath. So you have to see the heart, those that were put to death were not doing well, they were trying to get ahead of the other businessmen. They were motivated by greed. There is no instance of anyone in the Torah being put to death for doing well on the Sabbath. So let's return to my example of the watchmen "doing what is not lawful on the sabbath". Throughout church history there have been many false prophets saying they were anointed, the Lord is about to return, and creating a cult or sect to follow them. The Lord warned us to not be deceived by them. But these watchmen are not claiming to have a special anointing, nor are they creating a new sect or trying to make merchandise of anyone. All those false prophets, they weren't "doing well" they were acting out of greed. They were snake oil salesmen. But it is lawful to read the word, and to speak the word.

13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

Think about the church today, there are so many in the pews with a withered hand. They need to stretch it out. They have one hand that is very well practiced at preaching the truth about forgiveness, God's love, and how we can be saved from sin. But the other hand that speaks of spiritual warfare, the coming Antichrist, and our job as a watchman to watch for the Lord's coming is withered. It needs to be stretched out like the other hand.

They want a sign that proves Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath (3)

14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

They have tried to mock us, ridicule us, shut us up, censor us, ban us, make the Bible illegal, etc. We are not stopping. So know assuredly behind closed doors they are planning how they might destroy us. We are in a spiritual warfare. What you are seeing with Trump and MAGA is simply a shadow of the real war. We can all see how they have been plotting to destroy them, so know assuredly they are plotting to destroy Christians who are sold out for the Lord.

15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; 16 And charged them that they should not make him known: 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. 19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. 21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

We need to be prudent. January 6th showed many who were not prudent. We need to understand they are trying to destroy the gospel just as Saul was trying to destroy David. They are motivated by jealousy. On the one hand we are fighting a spiritual battle, we are cutting off the flesh, we are bringing people into covenant with the Lord. On the other hand we need to be prudent, we don't need to cry out, we don't need to strive, we don't need to advertise.

22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

On the news, in social media, on youtube you can find many complaints about people who are possessed by the devil, complaints about those who are blind to what is going on and who are dumb refusing to speak and do what is right. But what about healing them? Is anyone healing them?

23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

Civil war is a fleshly response. Healing people so that they can see, they can speak, they can do what is right, that is a sure sign that you are a peacemaker, a son of God.

24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

This doesn't just reveal that Jesus is the son of David, it also reveals that the Pharisees are in the kingdom of darkness. Slander is what Satan does, when you slander others you are one with Satan.

25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

This came true in 70AD. We see the split right here. There are those who recognize that Jesus is the Messiah and there are those that are trying to cling to their power. What we are seeing is similar to what we saw when King Saul was jealous of David. It led to a split and ultimately to Israel being divided and then Saul's house was brought to desolation. When the Jewish leaders decided to reject Jesus as the Messiah they became a house divided against itself. There were many Jews looking for the Messiah and the truth is the truth. Soon everything they were trying to hold onto would be gone, thrown down, and they would be scattered to the four corners of the earth. The same will happen when the rapture takes place. Some will be with Jesus but many will become desolate and their kingdom shall not stand.

26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

Sometimes the easiest way to know if someone is truly a man of God is whether or not there is an attack from Satan against them. When Saul attacked David everyone had to choose a side and soon those following David became fully convinced that they were on the right because they could see the attacks were baseless, they were lies and they were slander.

27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

We see this in the Old Testament. When the Israelites refused to go into the good land they tried to justify themselves saying it would be too dangerous for their children. So God told them they would not enter in, but their children would. The truth is they were afraid, what Jesus was doing was risky, so like the Israelites they made up excuses for why they rejected Him, and that is what this slander is, accusing Him of working for Beelzebub is the worst slander.

28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

During a spiritual warfare there is a "fog of war". Who do you believe, the Jewish leaders who are experts in the Bible and who have helped you your whole life, or these young "watchmen" who are younger, less experienced, and self taught in the Bible? One thing to look at is which of these two groups is casting out devils by the Spirit of God. Anyone can claim to be walking in the name of the Lord, but who actually is doing something?

29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

MAGA thought they would enter the strong man's house and spoil his goods. But you can't do that unless you first bind the strong man. John the Baptist learned that the hard way. One of the main weapons of the "strong man", the deep state, is the Main Stream Media. Their credibilty has been destroyed over the last few years, they are unable to manipulate the majority of people the way they could in 2020. Also election fraud has been exposed and many measures taken to prevent it in the future. As a result they are not in the position to steal an election the way they were in 2020. What you have seen in the last four years is "the strong man being bound first".

30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

This also has been revealed. In 2020 you thought there were two parties, Republican and Democrat. But it is has become clear that there are RINOs, and that in reality you have the "uniparty" and "the populists". By revealing who is who the RINOs can be voted out in the next election. I am not equating what we are seeing take place in our government with the spiritual warfare. What I am saying is that what you are seeing in the government is a shadow of what is taking place in the Spirit.

31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

This verse bothers so many people which is why we need all these things to illustrate it. If you voted for Biden that is forgiveable. If someone hired you to stuff ballots that is forgiveable. If you worked for the MSM and pushed the official narrative that is forgiveable. But when you see the Holy Spirit working and you decide that He is a threat to your power and position and so you slander and try to destroy Him to keep your position in Satan's kingdom. That is no longer a mistake, or something done in ignorance, you have knowingly chosen to be one with Satan. This is what "taking the mark" will be in the tribulation. You will be choosing to worship Satan and you will know it.

They want to see a sign that proves Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath (4)

32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

If you did not believe the miracles done by God the Father you still could received Jesus as Christ, be forgiven of your sins, and be saved. If you spoke a word against Jesus as Paul did, but then fell on your face and worshipped God when you saw the Holy Spirit act you could be saved. But if you reject God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit there is no chance for you to be saved.

33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

In this case the tree is the system, the government, the church, the school, the business, etc. Is Pfizer a good tree or a corrupt tree? Well look at their fruit, their vaccine, and you can know the tree by its fruit. How about the US public school, with 50% illiteracy rate, is that a good tree or a corrupt tree. How about the US government and the money sent to Ukraine, the lawfare against political opponents, the 10 million illegals brought in, and the inflation and all the other things they have done like $34 trillion in debt. Is that a good government or a corrupt government?

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

If we are going to be a good tree it isn't by wanting to be good, we are incapable. We are a generation of vipers. We have to fill our heart with the word of God. We have to be washed white as snow by the blood of Jesus. Only then, if the abundance of our heart is the word of God, only then can our mouth speak words of life, words with the resurrection power, the power to heal.

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

Each of us has a treasure chest in our heart. Perhaps it is revelation you got from the Holy Spirit in the word of God. Or perhaps it is little tricks and traps you have learned on how to scam other people.

36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

An idle word is a non working word. A word that wastes people's time. Jesus Christ is the incarnated word that has brought all things into being. Satan's words are not idle, they are designed to kill, destroy, and malign. They said Jesus was operating under the authority of Beelzebub. That was not an "idle word". That is unforgiveable. However, idle words must also be answered for at the judgement seat. When the word of God is so powerful to save, it is criminal to be wasting your opportunity by speaking useless words.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

This is why I speak so much. This is why I try to post something everyday. I want these words at my trial when I appear before the Lord. I know that I have spoken words that will condemn me, so I am repenting for that and hopefully the words that justify me outweigh the words that condemn me.

38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

And this is what leads them to ask for a sign. They are condemned by their words. They condemned the guiltless, and they rejected the Messiah saying He was working with Beelzebub. So they are now grasping at straws. The argument is that they need a sign to know that Jesus is the Messiah, without that sign they can't be condemned for rejecting Him.

They want to see a sign that proves Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath (5)

39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

A couple of key points here. In the Psalms David said his heart panteth after God. His heart sought God the way a thirsty animal sought after a cool spring. Seeking after God is not the same as seeking after a sign. When you talk about the judgement evil and adulterous people try to see a sign. You see, should I surrender or should I run? Remember the story of "Catch me if you can". This kid is counterfeiting checks and the FBI agent comes to arrest him. He doesn't know if he is bluffing or not. He tells him if he runs they will kill him. He convinces him to surrender. He wanted to see a sign that the FBI agent was telling the truth.

41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

So in the story of Jonah the men repented at his preaching. They needed to see a sign. They saw a man come out of a great fish which had been prophesied to them. They saw an eclipse over the city. They knew they were sinners and so they repented. This is the same sign given to the Jewish leaders when Jesus was crucified, resurrected and ascended. Then the disciples preached repentance for the next 40 years.

42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

This is an interesting juxtaposition. Not everyone "rejects" the savior. You see this with the watchmen. Some people will mock, ridicule and slander. But not all. Others will do nothing, they simply ignore you and hope you go away. Nineveh will condemn those who were sinners and did not repent at the preaching during the church age. The Queen of Sheba, the Queen of seven, this refers to those who are raptured before the tribulation. They will condemn the left behind because the left behind didn't so much as lift a finger even though they heard the warnings and everything that was going on.

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

This is a reference to the "wicked generation". Think of the Spirit filled believers as those that cast the unclean spirits out and led people to sweep and garnish the community. But once these spirit filled believers are raptured the unclean spirits will come and find the community "empty". No one is there to kick them out this time and so the state of the man will be seven times worse, this is the great tribulation. At the time of the rapture all these unclean spirits will be poured upon the earth.

Whosoever shall do the will of my Father

Luke 12:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. 47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

In this chapter we see the attack of the enemy, the slander, the lies, the deceit. We see those who are influenced, manipulated, and those who just don't care. We see those who have had the demons cast out but after the rapture will be left without any defense against demon possession. But then we see the ones who do the will of the Lord's Father. We may see ourselves as the weakest, poorest, and the least beneficial. Like Paul "less than the least". But think how much glory there is to the Lord that He uses the "less than the least" to defeat all these elites.

Are we on the Brink of Armageddon? 05/14/2024

Rise and walk.

John 5:3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

I was struck by this phrase "impotent folk". Blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. It is like the reference to Christianity waiting for revival with all the pews filled with spectators. I have some vague memories of some really exciting games that I watched in football and baseball. But those memories are nothing compared to my memories of competitions I was in. It is so much better to be a participant than a spectator.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

Again this reminds me of the revivals, especially the recent ones where you see Christians worshipping the Lord continuously for a couple of days straight. It was as though an angel came down and moved the water.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

How many have been sitting in the pews for 38 years? That would be since 1986. What are you waiting for?

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

This is the real question. Forget about the angel or the man who will put you in the water. Will you be made whole?

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

He doesn't answer the question. It seems he understood the question to be asking why haven't you been made whole and he blames it on "not having a man to put him into the pool".

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

Jesus is the man. If you want to be made whole ask Him. If we will obey His commands we will be made whole. His command to this man and all others that are impotent is "rise, take up thy bed, and walk".

Many of the older generation are concerned that all the young people seem tethered to their phones. It is as though they are chained to the phone. That is their bed and the longer they are chained the more they will become impotent. Rise and walk.

Interestingly the Lord told him to take up his bed as well and since this was the sabbath day that was "illegal" and a clear provocation to the Jewish leaders. For example when I was on Facebook they suspended my account for a month. I didn't break any rules and they wouldn't identify any offending post. The bottom line is they don't want me speaking the word of God and sharing the gospel. It was "illegal" to do that. Don't let the thought police keep you tied down and impotent. Facebook was the "bed" and the same day they suspended me I deleted my account. I was on a previous chat room and they did the same thing to me, so I moved my account to this chat room. They will try to make it illegal for you to speak, don't listen to them, listen to Jesus.

Torah ➡️ Christ✝️ יהוה ⬅️ haroT Bible Code

The odds of this pattern being a coincidence is 24^16 or one. in Ten sextillion.

So either you believe in coincidences or you believe that God wrote the Bible and put this Bible code into His word.

The kid the Father has prepared for the 144,000 to enjoy with their friends

Exodus 33:11 And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

Compare this verse with this verse in Luke

15:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

Joshua was ever with the Father, departing not out of the tabernacle, all that the Father had was his. This verse in Luke is a reference to the prodigal son's older brother. He is usually portrayed in a negative light, but why? According to the account the closest person we could compare him to in the Bible would be Joshua who is a type of Jesus and is only seen in a positive light.

Now consider his question to his father:

29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: 30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

The father doesn't dispute this, nor does the father seem to be playing favorites. He simply says that because the younger son was dead and is now alive it is fitting to celebrate with him now. That doesn't mean that he doesn't plan to give the older son a kid to make merry with his friends. This does not seem like an unreasonable request. I was recently at a Christian event where they had a very powerful testimony of a man who had been a an addict and a felon. After the event I went down to the room where a 20 year old girl was watching some young people, she was the daughter of one of the families so I asked her if she had ever done crack. She was visibly shocked that I would ask and the answer was no. My point was that very few people at this event did crack or had been felons but it seems the testimonies they have of salvation were always from people who had been. That is when I thought of this verse, now is the appropriate time to celebrate people getting saved from these things, but there is also an appropriate time to celebrate those who have given their whole life to the Lord.

Numbers 14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: 7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. 8 If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. 9 Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.

Has anyone ever considered that the 144,000 are the Prodigal son's older brother? That they are like Joshua and Caleb and that the tribulation is God giving them a kid?

When I was a kid I was on a Boyscout swim team. We won every race and I was the anchor. I remember that much, but that is all I remember for all but one of the races. The one race I can remember every single thing and thought. It was my most enjoyable race and for the first time in my life I understood the phrase "it is not whether you win or lose, but how you run the race". Prior to this race I always thought it was about winning.

This was the first race of the season for us. We had had tryouts and I had won the spot as the freestyle anchor. But the other three swimmers did not agree. I did an open turn and they all did flip turns. They felt I was clearly not the best choice. (I had been on a swim team that swam in the ocean, our float that we would swim to and make our turn was covered in barnacles. It was impossible to time a flip turn with the waves, the dark water, and the risk of slicing open your leg is why we did an open turn). So in our first race they decided to protest. After the first swimmer went we were behind by two body lengths. My thought was the next two swimmers can make cut into that lead and by the time I swim it can be an even race. You always hope to get a lead but now I figured it would be an even race. But after the second guy he gave up another two body lengths. So now I realize we have no chance to have it even when I go, but I figure if the third guy can win back half I'll have to win back the other half, so I get more psyched up. But he also gives up two body lengths. As I am getting ready to go in I realize they have a six body length lead, I have no chance to win. However, the adrenaline was pumping, so I thought "I know I have no chance but so does my opponent, I'll swim the first leg as hard as I can and if I have a chance then I'll lay it all out on the line". The problem was I had no way of knowing how much I had gained on him or if I had a chance. When I made the turn the coach was right in my face yelling for me to go, go, go! I realized he thought I had a chance so I laid it all out on the line. I didn't take another breath, I became desperate to get to the wall, I could tell I had caught him which meant I had made up 5 body lengths and then it was as though I was climbing a hill and at the last second I was surfing down the other side of that wave. It was obviously a photo finish because they took a long time to figure out who won. But I didn't care. I had poured everything out in that pool. It turns out we had won. After that there was no discussion about who should be the anchor. The other three kids knew they never would have even tried to win, they would have simply quit from the get go.

To me I think this is what the tribulation will be like for the 144,000. Something they will be able to enjoy and remember for all eternity. This is the "kid" that the Father has prepared for them to enjoy with their friends.

What's Causing the Aurora Lights Dream 5-13-24 to 5-14-24

I have been very much focused on the "sign of Jonah". It seems clear to me that Jesus gave "this evil and adulterous generation the sign of Jonah". His death and resurrection followed by the disciples preaching to repent in Jerusalem for 40 years was that sign. On the first day of the 40th year it appears that judgement fell on Jerusalem. Unlike Nineveh they could discern and they did claim to see and so the Lord told them because of that their sin remained. No reprieve for them.

However, 40 Jubilees from the crucifixion in 31 AD would be 2031. That could be when Jesus steps down in Jerusalem, rescues the Jews and then on 9th of Av we have Armageddon. If that were so we would expect 2024 to be the start of this seven year tribulation. April 8th 2024 would be a 40 day warning. Think of everything that has happened in Ukraine, in Israel, in Taiwan, and all the storms, and signs in the heavens to be a warning, beginning on May 19th the warning is over and we will see something akin to the Lord returning followed by Armageddon, only on a smaller scale. Then when the tribulation begins you get a 40 month warning as those left behind with the two witnesses and the 144,000 preach to repent for 40 months. After that you have the great tribulation, the pouring out of God's wrath, and the fulfillment of the sign of Jonah with Armageddon. Interestingly, 40 years before we had the fall of the USSR when everyone said "peace and security". That was December 26, 1991. That also makes a 40 year warning for 2031. In 1984 Dimitri Duduman came preaching repentance through the streets of the US saying the church would be utterly destroyed. That gives a 40 year warning to the church to 2024. Chernobyl was 1986, giving the world a 40 year warning to nuclear catastrophe to 2026.

What does this mean? It means that the warning Dimitri Duduman gave to the church in the US will be fulfilled in 2024. I will try to enumerate his warning, but essentially he said the US is the Great Babylon. We know from Revelation 17 and 18 what her judgement will be and we know it takes place in an hour. It will happen very quickly, like the fall of a jenga tower, or the collapse of the temple after Samson pushed out the pillars.

In 2026 the world can expect nuclear catastrophe. In 2031 we can expect Jesus returning in great glory, Armageddon and the collapse of Antichrist's kingdom.

Comparing Dimitri Duduman to Jonah.

He was put to death twice on the electric chair by Russia. Not that different from Jonah being thrown overboard in a huge storm and then being swallowed by a great fish. He was then "spit up" on the shores of the US just as Jonah was spit up on the seashore near Nineveh. He then spent years preaching to the churches in the US to repent of their sins, similar to Jonah preaching in Nineveh.

According to Dimitri God showed him that the US was Sodom and Gomorrah, in one day it will burn, and that its sins had reached heaven.

In particular God pointed to California, Las Vegas, NYC, and Florida.

God told Him the goal of His ministry was to wake up many people in the US because God loved them. His message was to stop sinning, repent, and God would forgive.

God told him that He would save the church the same way He saved the three friends of Daniel from the fire and the same way He saved Daniel from the Lion's den. (I think Daniel represents those who are raptured at the start of the tribulation and the three friends to the left behind saints).

He said that when God hits America the whole world will be terrified. That describes the fall of the Great Babylon and the start of the tribulation.

God told him that Israel doesn't have the help of the Jews in America anymore. We see that taking place today. In their terror Israel will call on the Messiah to come save them.

So then because of the pattern of the sign of Jonah I believe we'll see this prophecy fulfilled in 2024.
