Evidence that the great tribulation has been shortened from 7 years to 5 months:

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

- Matthew 24:22 (KJV)

Shortened to:

And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

- Revelation 9:5 (KJV)

So then, according to Revelation 9:5, we can see that the 7 years have been shortened to 5 months—2 x 3 1/2 years shortened to 2 x 2 1/2 month segments.

The 5 months is for the locust to torment those without the seal of God. That isn't the trib. The trib is when the enemy persecutes and kills Christians. That happens in the 6th trump and it is 42 months not 5.

The Stars were given to us as signs, they proclaim the glory of God.

Genesis 1:14 Then God said, “Let there be light-bearers (sun, moon, stars) in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be useful for signs (tokens) [of God’s provident care]

Psalms 19:1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And the expanse [of heaven] is declaring the work of His hands. 2 Day after day pours forth speech, And night after night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech, nor are there [spoken] words [from the stars];
Their voice is not heard. 4 Yet their voice [in quiet evidence] has gone out through all the earth, Their words to the end of the world.


One constellation is a lion, one is a serpent, another is a dragon and another is a lamb that is sacrificed for us. The story is in the stars telling us the glory of God.
I apologi for asking but he has been speaking to me a lot of what he has been speaklng the three wismene or rather the mere fact they were not in any anay way connected to the bloodline of Christ knew the timing of the Lotds birth were able to decipher his birth and coming

specifically psalms 23 That has been a constant thing I have seen constantly and I don't know why but I know it has something to with this so called rapture or harpazo
it never goes away the verse is everywhere I look and I cannot help but feel Davide was speaking of something that goes into centuries something that has to with the rapture but more than that is it as if he was speaking of things foreseen in heaven even just a taste the number 23 follows me everywhere I never have to even look for it it shows up everywhere in everything and psalms 23 always pops up in my mind.

If you have any understanding in this I would be very grateful

show me where he says or even hints at this. believe me you won't be able to work in the state you are in now when this time comes. can you imagine the smell of melted flesh on the gorund the sickness and desease in the air where even water the most basic need and food are eaten only to make you sick? can you imagine going against all luxeries you enjoy even just the internet being taken away?

the rapture is not an escape it is the bringing to what is to come and you who even doubts him snatching away those who are his if you have any doubt that he would cover his own in his wings as hen does for their chicks then I am sorry you are not prepared.

This is not a theologocial event it isn't something you doctrines or your demoninations or your own beliefs or truth of what you percieve it to be matters
If you want to work in such a time then you have to be resurrected you have to be changed this is a spiritual warfare right now but it will manifest as real as anything else the horror and even the most twisted movies don't begin to compare.

Don't assume that just any believer can stand against what is to come this is a war a battle that can only be done with those who truly have faith in their god relying his strength his glory his majesty you think you can handle the worst of the worst in your state when you can't even believe and accept what he has said in his word how he warned us ahead of time?
i'm sorry but you are not prepared
Are you serious? I’ve noticed you speak much but post no scripture!

Let me make this plain and simple…

Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.
-what do men do in the field? They work!

41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
- what do women do at the mill? they work!

42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord (boss) will come.

You can’t keep watch if you’re not there.

45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?

Who is the good servant (worker) the one who stayed or the one who left!

48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

You don’t want to wait on the Lord! He’s taking to long for you… So you want to leave your watch (job) and go play Peter Pan in the clouds.

Laughing doesn’t make you correct…
The text says when Jesus returns He will gather up the living believers in a big group as they are transformed into there spiritual bodies..
If you are unfamiliar with the manuscripts, then that is you… but don’t trying and cast your ignorance and lack of understanding Greek as a promotion for genuine study.

We were told to study the word, not just read it as a kindergarten book.
Enoch is a type of the rapture, he was taken while he was alive.

Elijah is a type of the rapture, he was taken while he was alive.

Paul told us the church is the pillar and base of the truth. This is because the gematria for the church is the same as for the pillar. When Samson pushed out the two pillars causing the temple to collapse that was a picture of the rapture and the church being removed.

Jacob had two wives. The first one, Leah, was "weak eyed" actually referring to blue eyes signifying the Gentiles. She married Jacob seven days before Rachel, who is considered the mother of Israel. The church will marry Jesus 7 years before Israel does.

David reigned in Hebron for 7 1/2 years before coming to Jerusalem. The church will be raptured to the coronation of Jesus 7 1/2 years before Israel is rescued.

There is nothing in the Bible, anywhere, that would suggest that everyone who claims to be a child of God will be raptured, that is a bogus teaching. The Lord tells many "depart from me, I never knew you" and they get cast out into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. On the other hand there is nothing in the Bible that says only those who get their heads chopped off can be raptured.

The Lord was clear, there will be those in the church that beat their fellow servants, insulting them, calling them ignorant, saying they lack understanding of Greek, and saying they are reading the Bible as a kindergarten book.

The Lord was clear there will be foolish virgins who don't have a relationship with Jesus and so they don't have any oil in their vessel. Instead of expressing the light of the gospel of peace, they are spewing insults that express the accuser of the brethren.

He also said that there would be those servants that buried their talent, He calls them lazy. So we will have evil workers, foolish virgins and lazy servants.

Proverbs 24:30 I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man lacking understanding and common sense; 31 And, behold, it was all overgrown with thorns, And nettles were covering its surface, And its stone wall was broken down.

Thorns came in when man sinned. Nettles are stinging like the little petty insults calling people ignorant and kindergarteners. Stone wall is broken down means you have no defense against predators.

32 When I saw, I considered it well; I looked and received instruction. 33 “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest [and daydream],” 34 Then your poverty will come as a robber, And your want like an armed man.

The Lord warned Sardis if they didn't wake up, repent, and do the first work He would come as a thief. This is the judgement that comes on the lazy servant.

I agree…. But this has no bearing on what the word “air” and “cloud” are in Greek, regarding subject and object.

Where does it say that the 144,000 were the only saints around when they were sealed?
Verse 4 says ONLY 144k were sealed.
that means no more were sealed.

4 And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel

the Bible says only 144k were sealed.

who else were you thinking about?

You can’t just see the word “field” in Matthew, then go find the word “field” in Proverbs and conflate them…

Fine; Jesus told the thief “today you will see me in paradise” guess the thief got raptured.

I'll stick with my KJV. Clouds mean clouds...the white things in the air...it specifically states in the air....no need to Greekify it.
Hebrews says we have a GREAT CLOUD of Witnesses watching us.
so clouds, also can mean great multitudes of people.

All Christians have been sealed, starting long ago. The 144k is just one group that Rev focuses upon. It doesn't mean no other Christians are sealed.

2Co 1:21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
2Co 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

Not all servants preach. Is there anything in the bible about them preaching?

There is nothing, literally nothing, that says the 144k preached to them, nor that they were saved or converted to Jesus during the tribulation.

You have used pure imagination to come to that conclusion.

so, How did the people, the GREAT MULTITUDES of People from every nation, get Saved during Tribulation without being Beheaded.

did they just come to the conclusion, on their own mental capacity to seek out Jesus?

or, were they Preached to.

Witnessed to by someone.

someone went door to door and offered Jesus to them?

there's 144,000 men doing something.

what are they doing?

I saw a video this week about the Revelation 12 sign that is in the heavens right now and they specifically mentioned that Psalm 23 was also written in the stars in that sign.

I know all Christians are sealed. but we are discussing Revelation during the Tribulation. the Events taking place. nowhere else does it mention others being sealed in this immediate picture. and yes, Christians are sealed during this time but they are not mentioned, they are just assumed.

why are you making points NOT relating to Revelation?


maybe i could separate the 144k from Christians.

the 144k are Virgins.

how many current Christians are Virgin, knowing, more young girls become pregnant in the church than on average anywhere else?

It can sure, but when the bible speaks of a group of people being raised UP into the air, to the clouds to meet others, context dictates that the clouds and air are literal. It's improper to say a cloud of air people will be raised up into the clouds of the air to meet another cloud of people. Sometimes clouds and air are exactly that.

Hebrews 11:5 Enoch was caught up and taken to heaven so that he would not have a glimpse of death; and he was not found because God had taken him

1Corinthians 10:11 Now these things happened to them as an example and warning [to us]; they were written for our instruction [to admonish and equip us], upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter your chambers And shut your doors behind you; Hide for a little while Until the [Lord’s] wrath is past.

Revelation 3:10 Because you have kept the word of My endurance [My command to persevere], I will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial, that hour which is about to come on the whole [inhabited] world, to test those who live on the earth.

Rev is one part of an entire book written by God. Rev cannot and should not be used alone.

The 144k are sealed BEFORE the tribulation and the scripture I posted is also before the tribulation. Christians being sealed is not just a book of Rev concept.

That is because I use scriptue to give hope life to build encourage it is not a tool to prove my theories or my own beliefs right. everyone posts scripture but only to prove theories own beleifgs and their own doctrines to be correct. Yet all it does is cause confusion more debates more arguments this is what you call truth? this is what you call the holy sacred word of God? if you can casualually quote scripture then you have no reverence for his word.
remember his voice alone created creation it is not something you can just take and speak casually so yes I don't use scripture because I have seen the absolute disregard for his voice and word so easily taken into peoples doctrines so casually seen as somethin that you better be careful as to how you speak it. his word is not a toy it is not something you can just use to prove or disprove that was never the point.

So instade my doctrine my proof is based on what he has written on my heart we are fallable we can confuse what he says and what is truth but he doesn't instead of leanig of my own understandings I take his word as a voice not words I take him at his word not what I think I understand.

On top of that he has shown m,e what is coming only because I was sick of being the average Christian all that he said and yet we cannot even make bread multiply you tell me the comparrision of what he said would do compared to what he did. believe it or not all he did was just a taste can you say in confidence that you can stand alone against the armies of satan and that you would only have to kneel the he would strike down the entire armie on one blow?

I can and without hesitstion would because4 I trust and believe in him you are relying on your own understanding without knowing or realizing he gave all authority all power more than what Jesus did to us even we would only believe.

The fire the wind the water the flowness of his being you were meant for more than being a human who believes you wrre a vessel to let him take over to who who and what he really is and the rapture is what stumbles you? seriously?

What was this to you what was your reason to be strong him him why did yopu fight against everything that came against you w what is the kingdom to you? Did you think the tribulation or the end times was something you can just go through because you didn't want to escape? This isn't a thing you can be a casual Christian to get through it requires the heart to go all the way to dare to believe when pthers won't your own username makes me sad why did you seek the truth? why do you call yourself a Christian and mjore importantly instead of merely speaking it online how far are you willing to go for him to prove it?

This is a good point to make? Really? Many Christians are literal virgins but no one knows how many.

The 144k are spiritual virgins (maybe physical virgins but this is not a requirement or important) as all Christians are meant to be virgins as presented to their spiritual husband:


2Co_11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Married, non-virgins are chaste virgins in the more important sense.

Agreed!

3 ... No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.
4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins.

it's physical Virgins!

those who never had any form of sexual activity.
