On September 27th we had 354 earthquakes worldwide with a magnitude of 2.5 or higher.

By comparison

During the first 8 months of 1950 we had 375 earthquakes of 2.5 or higher worldwide.

When did the 69th week "end"

Daniel 9:24 “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.

25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.

On the cross the Lord declared "it is finished". His crucifixion put an end to transgression and sin, it was an atoning sacrifice for wickedness. The blood that was shed was an eternal righteousness, no longer was it necessary to keep sacrificing bulls and sheep. His blood anointed the most holy place in the heavens and we now know from the work of some archaelogists that His blood also dripped down through cracks in the mountain after the earthquake and anointed the mercy seat hidden in a cave beneath the cross. We also know that "after 62 sevens" Jesus was crucified. Therefore I would argue if this "seven" ended at the cross, the next seven should begin the next day. The Lord said that "all things would be fulfilled during the generation where Israel was restored. They were restored on May 14, 1948. Based on His word all things should be fulfilled by May 13, 2029 as the next day would begin the 81st year. Interestingly, some have theorized that Jesus was crucified in 28 AD, so this would be exactly 2,000 years later. This is one month after NASA is saying Apophis will brush the Earth, what many consider to be "Wormwood". https://www.apophis.us/ Although NASA is saying "it won't hit the earth" it will be 11x closer to Earth than the moon and other astronomers are saying there is no way to know what an object that large and that close will do.

The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.”

This is a second end. This appears to signal when the times of the Gentiles begins. This took place on Tish B'Av, the cursed day for the faithless on the Jewish calendar. So this is a day in which transgression is finished from the other perspective. When a person dies, that is the "end" and yet we still need to bury them. We often refer to "death and burial" as "the end", however they are rarely on the same day. The way to the holy of Holies was opened at the time of Jesus crucifixion, but it was after the Jewish nation was buried that the times of the Gentiles truly begins. Before that time Christians were a "jewish sect" and after this time the New Testament was seen as being distinct from the Old Testament. We see the effect that the Temple had on the early church in the book of Acts. The church was divided with Paul having a somewhat clear vision (he did get involved in the Nazarite vow which includes making an animal sacrifice, that would have been a big insult to the Lord) and James leading the primary sect of the Christians as simply a sect of the Jews. This is why I think it was Paul and James who wrote the book of Hebrews, a uniting vision for the whole church. I also see the book of James as his ministry on dealing with cults and false prophets.

So then, what is the point? The Feast of Trumpets announces the coming of the King and the marriage of the King. It is a time where we blow the trumpets to remind God to remember mercy in judgement. It is also when the gates of heaven are opened and the king is coming forth. It will be a very big day on Earth to let the whole world know that the Day of the Lord is here. However, the 70th week may begin the day after Passover, six months later. The 70th week is about finishing sin, atoning for wickedness, putting an end to transgression. These things all point to the cross of Christ.

The Feast of Trumpets takes place in the Fall at the end of the harvest season and points to the season of the rapture. The rapture will wake up the sleeping church and from that point on they will be blowing the trumpet seeking mercy from the Lord. They will know then of a certainty that the Lord is coming, the gates are opened and the day of judgement draws near. Doors and gates are not the same thing, we know that but get confused when we read the Bible. Doors are for people to enter, gates are for chariots, horses, cars, and armies to exit. In the parable of the ten virgins the door is shut on some of them, however the gate could then be opened for the Lord's wrath to be poured out.

This article was posted by Pyton on his website endtimes-study.com/pyton/rapture-dates. My commentary will be in black, his article will be in purple. I am breaking it into several parts.

RAPTURE CONFIRMED OCTOBER 7-8, 2021!🎺

RAPTURE CONFIRMED OCTOBER 7-8, 2021!🎺


I have an issue with this sentence and will explain why further down.

What I will proof is how every prophetic event of the last days that has a specific day count attached to it in scripture, falls on one of the LORD's appointed times (Lev 23:2), no exceptions!

Lev 23:2 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed festivals, the appointed festivals of the Lord, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. So I do agree that the appointed festivals will occur on these dates. The issue is if any of these festivals refers to the rapture.

This reveals the PERFECT and IRREFUTABLE timeline of the end times, which our Lord Jesus Christ revealed in His word, before it came to pass, so that when it comes to pass, the world may know that He is God (Isa 46:9-10).

Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. 10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.’

Excellent point, these prophecies are in the Bible to give irrefutable proof of God who is omniscient and omnipotent.

This is how the Lord glorifies Himself, by showing proof of His divinity, and not by acting randomly, for the Gospel of our salvation is that Jesus died, was buried and rose again ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES and NOT randomly! (1 Cor 15:3-4)
Many watchmen already figured out the exact date of the Second Coming of Christ.


I have a real problem with this. Every single watchman who has predicted the start of the 70th week has been wrong, yet we should believe they have figured out the end date of the 70th week? That said there is a very strong consensus that the fall feasts need to be fulfilled, that the Day of Atonement will be fulfilled by the Great White Throne judgement where God determines if your name is written in the book of life or not.

The date is September 30th, 2028. This is Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), the 10th day of the 7th month on God's calendar and the true fulfillment of that Feast by Jesus Christ. This is the last Yom Kippur before Israel would turn 81 years old, satisfying the fig tree prophecy (Mt 24:32-34, Ps 90:10), the fulfillment of all the fall feasts, as well as the fulfillment of the Jubilee Year (Lev 25:8-10).

Everything in this paper hinges on this. However, I am not fully persuaded that this is truly Yom Kippur, based on my reading of the Bible the Feast of Trumpets should take place after the Equinox. That would make this date iffy. If it is the 10th day that would make the first day September 20th which is before the equinox. But worse case scenario this only puts all of this off by one month and probably does not impact it any more than that. The second issue is what did the Lord mean when He said all these things will be fulfilled? He surely didn't mean the millenial kingdom.

Matthew 24:30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. 32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

The question Jesus was answering was about the signs of His coming. He tells us all the signs of His coming right up to Him appearing in the clouds in great glory will take place during this generation. He does not in any way refer to the Great White Throne of judgement taking place first. Therefore all the people of heaven could see the Son of Man coming in the clouds in March, it would not violate this prophecy. This entire thesis hangs on the premise that this prophecy tells us that the day of atonement will take place prior to this date, but that is not what the Lord says. He says the signs of His coming will all be fulfilled before this date.

With this key date we can now unlock and reveal all the other dates of significant end time events, including the rapture, if we apply the day counts provided in the Book of Daniel and Revelation appropriately that chain all of these events together. Additionally, the Lord CONFIRMS all of these dates we land on by matching them with His holy appointments with mankind, which the jews celebrate as a dress rehearsal, but are ultimately fulfilled by Jesus Christ (Mt 5:17).

Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

First of all, we know that what we commonly refer to as the "Tribulation" consists of 7 prophetic years, or 2520 days (Daniel's 70th week). This 7 year period is divided in two halves by the Abomination of Desolation that will be set up, each consisting of 3.5 prophetic years; exactly 1260 days (Dan 9:27). The Second Coming ends the Great Tribulation, which is the latter half of Daniel's 70th week (Mt 24:15-30), which also coincides with the reign of the Beast (Rev 13:5). So we can take that date of the Second Coming of Christ we already established and substract 1260 days to reveal the midpoint of Daniel's 70th week.

I have a big issue with this. Daniel 9 says the 70 weeks are concerning finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place. This all points to the cross of Jesus Christ. Jesus crucifixion was when the 69th week ended, it was when the finished work of redemption was done. If the 69th week ended with Jesus on the cross, the earthquake that kicked the Sanhedrin out of their place, the curtain of the temple being rent indicating God had left the temple. Then it seems to me that the 70th week should start the next day. Perhaps the 69th week ended with the Sabbath when Jesus was in the grave and the 70th week would begin on the day of Resurrection, the 8th day. Since the deadline on the Fig tree prophecy is May 14th, you have until May 13th. If you use the Hebrew calendar you have until May 18th, 2029.

September 30, 2028 - 1260 days = April 19, 2025. This is the day the Abomination of Desolation will be set up in the Holy place. This date falls on the last day of Unleavend Bread, which is a 7 day feast. Together with the two other feast days within that week (Passover and First Fruits), it provides the perfect template for Revelation 11, revealing the dates of the death and resurrection of the 2 Witnesses at the perfect time!

I agree that April 19, 2025 is during the Feast of unleavened bread. I have no idea when the perfect time for the death of the two witnesses will be.

RAPTURE CONFIRMED OCTOBER 7-8, 2021!🎺

April 19, 2025 - 3,5 days = April 15, 2025. This is Resurrection Day / First Fruits. On this day the 2 Witnesses resurrect and ascend. It was foreshadowed in the resurrection story by the 2 men at the tomb (Lk 24:4) who were exactly described like Moses and Elijah in the transfiguration story (Lk 9:30-31), depending on your translation; and appear again when Jesus ascended (Acts 1:10). The connection is undeniable once you notice. Furthermore, the 2 Witnesses have the same powers as Moses and Elijah (Rev 11:6).


Luke 24:4 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. I have never heard this interpretation. He is saying these two men represent the two witnesses. Acts 1:10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” Interesting interpretation. Especially the word that "he will come back in the same way you have seen him go".

We know that they lie dead on the streets for 3.5 days after their ministry (Rev 11:11).
April 15, 2025 - 3.5 days = April 12, 2025 The date the 2 Witnesses will be killed by Abbadon in Jerusalem (Rev 11:7-8), falls on Passover - The day Jesus was cruxified as our Passover Lamb. This fulfillment was the topic of the conversation between Moses, Elijah and Jesus in the transfiguration story (Lk 9:31). However, Jesus didnt die alone on that day. He was cruxified alongside 2 other jews (Lk 23:32-33), foreshadowing the death of the 2 witnesses, as Revelation 11:8 specifically refers back to Jesus' cruxifiction.

This is an interesting interpretation and certainly has a lot of validity. However, we have an issue here. If He will come back the same way He left and that includes raising Lazarus as a type of the pre-tribulation rapture then that event took place right at the time of the Vernal Equinox. We know it took place shortly before Passover and we know that Jesus said "there were 12 hours in the day".

We know the 2 Witnesses' ministry is for 1260 days (Rev 11:3) so we can easily calculate when they will show up. This 1260 day period is the first half of Daniel's 70th week.
April 12, 2025 - 1260 days = October 31, 2021. The day the 2 Witnesses will arrive and begin their ministry. I mentioned the transfiguration story (Lk 9:28-36). It happened at the 8th day of Tabernacles.

Peter's rebuking Jesus about going to the cross and Jesus telling Peter to "get behind me Satan" stands out as a Tu B'Av event in the gospels. Six days later as recorded in Matthew and Mark suggests the 15th of Av, a wonderful day for the rapture. However, Luke says it was about the 8th day and Luke does not have the account of Jesus rebuking Peter. So I think it is not at all clear, was it the 15th of Av, was it the 8th day of Tabernacles or was it on the Vernal Equinox. Perhaps it is pointing to three rapture events.

And guess what: This date lands exactly on Simchat Torah, the 8th great day of Tabernacles. Simchat Torah is the day when the jews restart with the reading of Torah from the beginning. When the 2 Witnesses show up, they will reveal their Messiah Jesus in Torah to them; the same way Jesus revealed himself in Torah to the 2 disciples on the road to Emmaus (Lk 24:25-27).


That is a good point, it does seem that Moses and Elijah are there to reveal Jesus to the Jews.


Moses reveals Jesus in the law and Elijah reveals Jesus in the books of the prophets. Moses wrote about the beginning and the prophets wrote about the end. Jesus is the beginning and the end (Rev 1:8).

RAPTURE CONFIRMED OCTOBER 7-8, 2021!🎺

October 31st is the end of Summer in Israel. After the summer harvest, that is the rapture of the church, the jews will lament (Jer 8:20) and be provoked to jealousy (Deu 32:21), because they are still not saved, unlike the raptured gentiles, who followed Messiah Jesus, and not them, as the chosen people, who were spiritually blinded and left behind. This mystery was revealed by Paul, that the spiritual blindness of the jews will only be removed, after the fullness of the gentiles has come (Rom 11:25). The 2 Witnesses will play a major role of revealing the truth to the jews, causing them to repent (Zec 12:10) and to prepare to flee into the wilderness at the midpoint (Rev 12:14), to endure there, until their day of redemption.


Jeremiah 8:20 “The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved.” I think of Jeremiah as the prophet to the sleeping church that is left behind. This does suggest strongly to me that the pre tribulation rapture takes place at the end of summer, which is also when the harvest takes place.

This is also the day the 7 year covenant with many nations will be confirmed by Antichrist. In fact, October 31st starts the UN Climate Change Converence (COP26). The Pope will also be present there. This event is the perfect footstool for the Antichrist to propose his own deal!

Here is another place where I have great difficulty in accepting this. If the 70th week begins the day after Jesus crucifixion or on the day of resurrection, then that should also be the day the treaty is signed. There are 4 things that need to happen prior to the Antichrist signing that covenant. The pre-tribulation rapture, the judgement on the Great Babylon, the Gog Magog war in Ezekiel 38 and the revelation of the Antichrist. I can see all of that taking months. I could definitely see the rapture taking place months before Antichrist makes the covenant. If the pope is the false prophet I could definitely see this conference to be timed for the judgement on the Great Babylon. So I see this conference as significant stepping stone for the false prophet to introduce the Antichrist, not for the Antichrist to make a covenant with Israel.

But before Antichrist can propose a covenant and have it signed by many nations, he has to be publically revealed and start his campaign first. And this can only be after the rapture! (2 Thess 2:1-8) To find out when the Antichrist will be revealed and the Rapture occurs, we have to look at Daniel 12's two other day counts which go beyond the 2520 days of Daniel's 70th week and reveals what happens shortly before and after this timeframe. We can substract 1290 days from the date of the Abomination of Desolation to find out the day when the daily sacrifices are removed (Dan 12:11), which is the church as the living sacrifices, made acceptable onto God (Rom 12:1).

OK, that is a tremendous interpretation. He is equating the removal of the daily sacrifices with the rapture. Interesting, the raptured saints are those who are offering a daily sacrifice to the Lord. Everything seems to fit (except for the issues I have already raised)

April 19, 2025 - 1290 days = October 7, 2021 This is the Feast of Trumpets and the actual fulfillment of that Feast. The day of the Awakening Blast, when the dead in Christ will rise and we who are alive and remain, will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air! We are the living sacrifices, that will be removed, snatched away, in the twinkling of an eye!
When I say "October 7", what I actually mean by that is Tishri 1 starting sundown October 7, and ending sundown October 8, Israel time. That is the timeframe for the rapture and the true 4 year anniversary of the Rev 12 sign.


OK, I agree that this Feast of Trumpets should be a very big day. The reference to the awakening blast is not a reference to the Trump of God but rather to the sleeping church waking up. So even if it is not a direct reference to the rapture it could be a reference to the day after the rapture.

RAPTURE CONFIRMED OCTOBER 7-8, 2021!🎺


I'm not done yet. We still have to see if the other day count given in Daniel 12:12 lands on a feast day.

April 19, 2025 + 1335 days = December 14, 2028 The blessed day lands on Hanukkah! After Jesus comes back with us, He will build and dedicate His own temple in Jerusalem (Mk 14:58), where we will rule and reign with Him for 1000 years.
There might even be a double fulfillment since Daniel 12:12 doesnt state when to start the day count. What happens when we count from Feast of Trumpets this year?
October 7, 2021 + 1335 days = June 3, 2025 This lands on the only Feast that is still remaining: Pentecost! This most likely fulfills the Revelation 14 fruit harvest and the secret of the 7 thunders in Revelation 10.
The fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles will be on October 5, 2028, 5 days after the Second Coming. We know that on that day the Tribulation Saints will be resurrected on earth (Rev 20:4) and all the Saints will be gathered in one place for the first time in history (Mt 24:31).
But I'm still not done yet! David was King over Juda for 7.5 years before he was King over all of Israel (1 Ki 2:10-11) And Solomon's temple was built for 7.5 years (1 Ki 6:37-38). These are types and shadows. (David = Jesus Christ, the temple = the Church / Body of christ) What it suggests is that Jesus will be our King for 7.5 years, when we are gathered onto Him, before He will be King over every nation. 7.5 years = 2700 days
October 7, 2021 + 2700 days = February 27, 2029 This lands on PURIM! We can assume that on that day Jesus Christ will be crowned as the King over all the nations of the earth. At the very least this calculation further solidifies our rapture date.
Ez 39:12 demands that the land must be cleansed for 7 months after the war. The war ends at the Second Coming. 7 months = 210 days
September 30, 2028 + 210 days = April 28, 2029 PASSOVER again! This might be the official start of the millenial Kingdom; only days away from the May 14, 2029 deadline to fulfill everything!
Here is the website to my article: endtime-studies. com/pyton/rapture-dates

Even so, come Lord Jesus! Amen.

I don't know what to think about the rest of this.

I would just remind everyone that this entire exposition hangs on interpreting the Lord's word that all these things will be fulfilled as including the Great White Throne Judgement even though that is not clear from the context. I would also point out that there is the assumption that the 70th week begins with the Feast of Trumpets which is also not clear.

There are a couple of very interesting revelations about the two witnesses and also about "the daily sacrifice being removed" as a reference to the rapture.

What is quite interesting to me concerning Pyton's exposition is that although we have some minor quibbles we both are concluding that the Feast of Trumpets in 2021 is a really big day, an awakening blast.

October 31st seems like a very fitting day to reveal the false prophet.

Passover in 2022 seems like a very fitting day for the 70th week to begin (or the day of resurrection).

Isaiah 59:1-10 -- They have turned their roads into crooked paths

1 Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.

Election fraud is not a constitutional crisis. Read Federalist 68, this event was foreseen by the founding fathers. The Lord is well able to save and He is listening for your prayers. Every state has provisions for overseeing and auditing the election, there is a standard procedure for this.

2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.


It is possible that the ballots have become irredeemable, that it will be impossible for a court to select the legitimate ballots from the illegitimate. In that event the state legislators who are elected representatives of the people can be empowered to select the electors for the electoral college. There was a remedy but they sinned, they refused to even consider any form of justice and righteousness. So when God does step in to judge, and He will, the government has a covenant with God since the days of Noah. They are violating that covenant and every time they do that He has stepped in. We call these “revolutions” when God dispossesses evil rulers. This is government of the people, by the people and for the people. Our "leaders" forgot that so they are now being reminded of it.

3 For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt. Your lips have spoken falsely, and your tongue mutters wicked things.


We now know that significant fraud (enough to change the outcome of the election) has taken place in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Georgia. If it turns out that there is no way to remedy this the next step is for the state legislature to appoint the electors. Between Peter Navarro's three volume report on the election fraud, the movies Mike Lindell has produced on the election fraud, and the various discoveries from the forensic audits it is clear we have significant fraud in enough states to invalidate the election results. We also know that the January 6th event was a false flag event they used to try and cover up their crime.

4 No one calls for justice; no one pleads a case with integrity. They rely on empty arguments, they utter lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil. 5 They hatch the eggs of vipers and spin a spider’s web. Whoever eats their eggs will die, and when one is broken, an adder is hatched. 6 Their cobwebs are useless for clothing; they cannot cover themselves with what they make.

The press keeps making empty claims that this is unprecedented, it happened a few years ago in 2000, Hillary claimed it happened in 2016 and it happened with Rutherford B. Hayes. Why isn’t Biden calling for justice? Why isn’t he saying these are serious allegations of voter fraud and it is essential to the preservation of democracy that we resolve this? Instead empty claims of a “coup” with ridiculous comparisons to Hitler and Scarface. Biden says that this will not look good for Trump’s legacy. His silence is not going to look good for his legacy. More than 50% of Americans feel the elections are illegitimate. You have to respond to that.

Their deeds are evil deeds, and acts of violence are in their hands. 7 Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways. 8 The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. They have turned them into crooked roads; no one who walks along them will know peace.

Biden called for unity, healing and peace. At the same time he did this other leaders in the Democratic party were calling for “accountability lists” so that anyone who supported Trump could be punished. They want to put Trump supporters on no fly lists and have anyone refusing to be vaccinated fired from their job. This message was further pushed by leaders in the media. There was a clear threat to have people removed from their jobs, to black ball them, and in any way possible to excommunicate anyone who publicly supported Trump. There were clear legal and constitutional remedies which they turned into crooked paths.

9 So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows. 10 Like the blind we grope along the wall, feeling our way like people without eyes. At midday we stumble as if it were twilight; among the strong, we are like the dead.

This has taught us how few people actually understand our laws. There are “well educated people” who actually thought that the Media gets to call an election. There are people who we might otherwise consider to be knowledgeable who did not realize that States certify the election in each State or that the Constitution has taken into account a period of 40 days to contest the election in the courts. They thought that it was insurrection to question the outcome of an election, not realizing that Democrats have questioned every Republican victory since 2000 or that Stacy Abrams has refused to acknowledge her defeat or that it was fashionable in 2016 to say #Notmypresident. This is what God said concerning Sodom and Gomorrah, He would come down and see if the outcry was true. We need God to judge, they have violated the Noah covenant.

A storm is coming

Exodus 9:24 hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.


Job 38:1 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said: 2 “Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? 3 Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.

Psalm 83: 13 Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like chaff before the wind. 14 As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze, 15 so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm. 16 Cover their faces with shame, Lord, so that they will seek your name.

Proverbs 10:25 When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever.

Isaiah 4:6 It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.

2Peter 2:17 These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.

The age of Grace began when Jesus resurrected from the dead. The age of Grace ends during the middle of the tribulation when an angel goes around proclaiming the eternal gospel.

The tribulation begins 3 1/2 years earlier. This suggests the tribulation begins at FOT and the pretribulation rapture would be before that point.

The age of grace also began as soon as the 69th week for the Jews came to an end. This suggests the tribulation begins at FOT and the pre-tribulation rapture would be before that point. It also suggests that the 70th week begins around the time of Passover.

Again, this is assuming that a "week" in Daniel would begin the day after the previous week ended. That was true of the first 69 weeks.

Isaiah 59:11-16 Whoever shuns evil becomes a prey

11 We all growl like bears; we moan mournfully like doves. We look for justice, but find none; for deliverance, but it is far away. 12 For our offenses are many in your sight, and our sins testify against us. Our offenses are ever with us, and we acknowledge our iniquities: 13 rebellion and treachery against the Lord, turning our backs on our God, inciting revolt and oppression, uttering lies our hearts have conceived.

This is the heart of the matter. The poor state of the public education has been decried for many years, but the heart of that is our rebellion and treachery against the Lord. People have been outraged at the vile rhetoric in this country, but the heart of the matter is that we turned our backs on the Lord. In just the last few years the lies uttered by the media are too numerous to mention. The NY Times resorted to fabricating a “high level anonymous source in Trump’s administration” out of a low level staffer that no one had ever heard of. The FBI colluded with political leaders to fabricate charges against President Trump based on the “Logan Act”. Flynn was charged because he talked to foreign leaders during the transition as Trump’s administration got ready to take the helm. The hypocrisy of this is overwhelming as Biden is currently talking to foreign leaders and is therefore guilty of exactly the same thing they charged Flynn with. They have incited revolt with their rhetoric even justifying the occupation of Portland. They based the Mueller investigation on lies that were conceived in the mind of Hillary Clinton. Finally, this 2nd impeachment with 1 week to go till the end of Trump’s term (the hearing starts on the 13th, the term ends the 20th). The charge is that he incited a riot. Interestingly enough here the Lord says that the guilty have “incited revolt and oppression”. No one is charging Trump with inciting oppression, that would be from the tech giants who are censoring conservative views, Christian views and any call for justice. We now know this was an intelligence operation run by the FBI, they were the ones responsible for January 6th.

14 So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. 15 Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.

You cannot even “shun evil”. The cancel culture will pounce if you don’t repeat their claims. Dan Bongino “shunned evil” and his platform “Parler” was taken down by Google, Apple and Amazon.com. These three giants worked together to make him and his site a prey.

The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice. 16 He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm achieved salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him.


This is a very important point that many Christians, myself included, have missed. Daniel says that the antichrist brings down the mighty, but not by his own power. It will be the Lord that brings down the mighty while the antichrist takes credit for what the Lord does. In Jesus ministry He exposed the unrighteousness and corruption of the leaders of His day. He was accused of casting out demons by the Prince of demons. He made it clear at the time that a house divided cannot stand and that if they condemned Him what do they say when their children cast out demons at the end of this age. When the Lord returns at the end of the age He is not simply the only begotten Son of God but “the firstborn among many brethren”. It will be the Lord’s arm that will get the victory, yes, it will be the strongest members of the Body of Christ that achieve salvation.

The other thing is that the Lord saw that there was no one. That means He had to give the state legislators a chance, He had to give the courts and judges a chance, He had to give the Federal government a chance. Only after He sees that there is no one, only then does He intervene with His right arm.

The Lord told us about this, He said they made monuments to the prophets that their fathers killed. The Democrats were the party of the Southern States, the party of slavery,. the party of the KKK. Today they rail against white supremacy and racism. But it is hypocrisy. Kamala Harris thinks that because she is black she is somehow innocent and whitewashed, she is descended from slave holders, not slaves but slave holders. She put many blacks into prison in California, often on questionable evidence. If anyone is stained with the guilt of systemic racism it is her. Of course Joe Biden is even worse. Some think that being Obama's VP means he had the good housekeeping seal of approval. Nothing could be further from the truth. Biden was the most racist senator and putting him on the ticket assuaged the fears of many in the party. Biden was against desegregation of the schools and he was the sponsor of the crime bill. These were the two most racist positions to take in the last 40 years. Not only so but many of his quotes are utterly racist. If anyone else said them they would be cancelled immediately. The same people dressing up as "civil rights activists" were in fact the biggest liars and racists we have seen.

This is one of Dana Coverstone dreams that many think have been proven to be false. It is now 11 months after he gave it, let’s reconsider this.

The Data Dream -- The Dream the mockers love to say was false


1. An interstate Atlas with flashing lights that looked like a data map. It looks like what we have seen in the Mike Lindell movies concerning the Dominion voting machines and what we learned in the Arizona audit about data being deleted and data from other states showing up on the Arizona machines.

2. Those circuits are going to go hot and if they go hot they are going to fry if they cannot slow the system down. This reminds me of how a number of states all shut down their vote counting at the same time when Trump was well ahead and then several hours later when they resumed they each got a big boost of votes for Biden to put him ahead. Remember, this dream was given two weeks before the election took place.

3. The bigger cities were sending up smoke clouds — something interrupting it sending up a signal of information. — Yes it was the bigger cities that sent out all kinds of signals of fraud. Statistical analysis of the vote proved to statisticians that the election was fraudulent in the big cities. Detroit, Las Vegas, and Phoenix all gave all many signals as well as Milwaukee, Detroit and Philadelphia.

4. When the flashes reached Philadelphia — At this point we have an audit which proves Arizona should be decertified and we have sufficient evidence in Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan to demand similar audits there. However, recently we have gotten sufficient evidence concerning fraud in Philadelphia to demand a complete audit there as well.

5. When the pressure began to build up — this is what we are seeing, the pressure build up for audits. Nov 5th the Stop the Steal rallies began, by January 6th it was a significant movement but the riot put a stop to the rallies. We now know that the riot was an intelligence operation from the FBI designed to put a stop to the movement. We also have thousands of affidavits of a crime, we have all the captures from the military of election fraud using the Dominion machines, we have video evidence, we have evidence from spot canvasses, and what was a minority of Republican voters has turned into a majority of Americans demanding election integrity and audits. At this point the pressure to get to the bottom of this is blowing up. If it results in a civil war so be it.

6. The liberty bell split in half. This is what people are saying today, we don’t have liberty, we have a tyranny.

7. The liberty bell melted. This reminds me of when the 2nd temple was destroyed. They set fire to it and the gold melted. That is why they tore down every stone to get to that gold which had melted. I suspect the whole US will be torn down stone by stone as well.

8. The lines of data were all headed to Washington DC — again, quite true. Why is it that the judges, and the legislatures do nothing, because whatever they do will lead back to them. He saw judges and professionals trying to pull the line away from DC. It finally blew up and the Capital building cracked in half.

9. Discovery — once again Mike Lindell’s movie, Peter Navarros’ three volume report, and the Arizona audit.

10. Closed casket — “Here lies” Joe Biden. We all know that Joe Biden is a liar, a big liar, a liar who has been lying since day 1. The Hunter Biden laptop, the border, his handling of Covid, and his handling of Afghanistan — lies, lies and more lies. December 17th — the day the election was certified by the states.

11. Demand to see the body — are we talking about the body of evidence of election fraud? It is very interesting that he saw the Date — December 17th but not the year. December 17th is the date that every state legislature would be guilty of certifying a fraudulent election (lies). Everyone is barefoot indicates that none of them are shod with the gospel of peace. But I wonder if December 17th is still prophetic for this year?

12. Halls of Congress, “a house divided against itself shall not stand”. That is what we have seen this year, you can’t run a democracy when the country is divided against itself. He turns off the lights and guess what, they are turning off the lights today if the debt ceiling is not raised.
