Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

Deuteronomy 28 -- If thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord

15 But it shall come to pass if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to take heed to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee. 16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.

American cities have become progressively more and more cursed. We had organized crime and drugs, followed by gangs and the crack epidemic. This was followed by Methamphetamine which hit the rural populations as hard as the cities. That in turn has been followed by prescription drugs which have started to be abused, the opioid epidemic. Gun violence has gotten progressively worse starting with kids getting shot in the inner city, followed by Columbine in a Colorado suburb, up through the Sandy Hook tragedy. But the knock out blow appears to be this pandemic. People are fleeing the cities. Businesses are moving their employees online and no longer need expensive commercial buildings. Retail businesses like shopping malls, theaters, and large arenas are all getting shuttered. This in turn will result in a curse on the fields. Our economy is set up to take money from these cities and disburse it to the rural areas. Cut that off and disrupt the supply chain and we see farmers forced to pour milk down the drain. Now compare this picture to a Norman Rockwell painting. Again, Norman Rockwell lived in the same place I did and went to the same high school. The first time a person was murdered in our town was in the late 1970s. The world has changed dramatically from the 1950s to today.

17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough.

More and more we are seeing issues with our food. Whether it was the issue with trans fat killing people in their 30s, or the use of teflon pans killing people with cancer, or the use of pesticides, herbicides, steroids, growth hormones, and antibiotics.

18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, the offspring of thy kine, and the increase of thy sheep.

Zika virus was horrifying. Thalidomide was horrifying. Pesticides have also been linked to birth defects, not only in humans but also in animals. Mothers who were vaccinated are having miscarriages at a far higher rate than usual.

19 Cursed shalt thou be in thy coming in, and cursed shalt thou be in thy going out.

You can find a list of 25 countries that hate Americans. Many of these countries like Egypt, Germany and Austria have received huge financial assistance from the US and 50 years ago were very friendly to the US.

20 Jehovah will send upon thee cursing, confusion, and rebuke, in all the business of thy hand which thou doest, until thou be destroyed and until thou perish quickly, because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.

No one can deny that the US has forsaken the Lord. Under the guise of ecumenism they forsake the Lord and pray to all sorts of pagan gods while prohibiting prayer to the Lord. NAFTA gutted our manufacturing turning Detroit into a cursed, confused and rebuked land. China and Walmart have cursed US businesses. Businesses that have tried to compete using overseas labor have been caught up in scandals either with childhood labor or unsafe working conditions.

21 Jehovah will make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.

AIDS and Covid19 are two examples. But there are much more. Alzheimers has become an epidemic and autism has become an epidemic.

Like a bear robbed of her cubs

Hosea 13:8 Like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will attack them and rip them open; like a lion I will devour them— a wild animal will tear them apart.

The tribulation will be "like a bear robbed of her cubs". I have heard they are forcing people in some countries to get the vaccine otherwise they will hit them with a $20,000 fee. Kids are being forced to be vaccinated. And yet, the death rate from those who are vaccinated is us 50 fold.

Elohim Reveals the Rapture by Holy Spirit to his servants!


Ecclesiastes 1:9. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

Since the thing that has been will be we expect examples of the rapture that we could refer to. Jesus talked about Noah entering the ark and Lot being rescued from Sodom.

Ecclesiastes 3:15. That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

God requires certain things. God required Abraham’s prayers, He also required that Abraham be told and God required Noah to preach the gospel for 120 years and Noah was told what was going on. In both cases Abraham knew ahead of time when the judgement on Sodom would come and Noah knew a week beforehand when the flood would come.

John 13:19. Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

This is why we must speak concerning the rapture in our gospel. Surely Noah did. The enemy is not going to allow a “come to Jesus” moment after the pre tribulation rapture. You have to tell people before Satan has a chance to twist the story into some kind of “close encounters of the third kind” story.

Matthew 24:35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

God, the Father does know. We should ignore the words of man on this as well as their logic and all the other things that they say. We should also ignore the words of angels. For example the books of Enoch are considered genuine by the apostles as they referenced it several times in the New Testament but they don’t have special insight. There are also fallen angels as well that we should ignore. No, what we should do “as we see the day approaching” is to look up. God the Father can give us the word that we need at the time we need it.

1 Corinthians 2:10. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

I feel there are a lot of deep things that are to be revealed concerning the end of this age, the least of which is the date. I like to compare this to a final exam for school. You can go the entire year without knowing the date. During the first few months of school the date of the exam in June is trivial. What is important are the things you are learning at the time. If someone thinks that knowing the date will somehow help them they could be terribly mistaken. That said the Lord talked about “those that love His appearing” and commanded that we watch. This is why I feel it will be very tough on those who are pan tribulationists (“it will all pan out in the end”).

Amos 3:6. Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it? 7. Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Do you think we had WWII, the holocaust, 9/11, the Gulf War, the Mortgage meltdown or a hoast of other huge events these last two thousand years and the Lord hadn’t done it? Consider the pandemic, some argue that we have had other pandemics (Black plague, Spanish flu) before. They even argued that this one was far less severe (foolish since the Spanish Flu took place over several years and they were saying this after several months). It is true that we have had two or three major pandemics in the last two thousand years, but this is the one and only time the entire world operated as though there were one world government and shut down the economy. That has never happened before, unless you wish to compare an economy to a river, then the only time this happened previously was when the Israelites crossed the river Jordan. Therefore it is contrary to the word of God to think that God is not behind this pandemic or that this pandemic is not revealed in the word of God. If you do open the word and ask “where is the pandemic revealed” then obviously it is the book of Joel and this signals that the day of the Lord is near.

John 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

God declares the end from the beginning. We can look at the beginning of the Bible to see the end of man. We can look at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry to see the end. This is a key principle.

Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou has received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

He doesn’t say “remember what thou hast received” but rather “remember how thou hast received”. The Lord can give us a fresh and new word when we need it. For two thousand years Christians have done just fine not knowing how the calendar worked. Seventh Day Adventists have been preaching that you need to keep the Sabbath day and yet didn’t even know when the Sabbath was. Paul said don’t let anyone judge you for this because keeping those days and that calendar were not part of our covenant. However, Paul also said that those days were a shadow of things to come, so as the day approached we needed to understand and as a result we have been on a short learning curve concerning the various Old Testament feasts and how to calculate the day. We were commanded to keep the Lord’s table and were told “whenever you keep it” indicating that there is no judgement on us for not knowing when the Lord’s day is.

1 Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon then, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

9. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.

These verses really bring home the point that knowing the day or the hour is the least important thing. If you knew a thief were coming there are things you need to do to prepare. If you don’t prepare knowing the thief is coming may not help and in fact could make things worse. This term “the day of the Lord” does not simply mean the pre tribulation rapture. Rather the day of the Lord refers to a whole host of things, judgement on all, the establishment of His kingdom, the wedding, etc. The day of the Lord is likened to the birth of a child. When a baby is born there is a lot of blood and guts. The baby will be caught up and taken to the nursery while everything else will go into the trash and be burned. But look at this verse, can you imagine a pregnant woman who is nine months pregnant not realizing that the day of the birth is approaching? She doesn’t know the day or the hour but she is supposed to be watching and ready, just like a pregnant woman who knows it could be any minute. Suppose a pregnant woman had been clueless, had not been going to the doctor, had been eating and drinking with the profligate in the world, what would you think of her? That is the analogy the Lord has given us for “you don’t know the day or the hour” and “you are not in darkness that that day would overtake you as a thief”. You have to prepare for a baby otherwise that day will overtake you as a thief. In this context “we are not of the night but of the day” and “we have not been appointed to wrath but unto salvation”.

Tribulation -- Being cast into the den of lions

World history since the cross of Christ has been about the battle between the kingdom of the heavens and powers of this world.

When the economic system based on slavery in the US collapsed we had a civil war. Slave holders used every lie and artifice to justify their cruelty and criminality. The collapse was due to a large extent with the industrial revolution starting a new economy. You could see this as a victory for the gospel but also it was two steps forward and one step back. Likewise we have seen the collapse of the Feudal system in Europe. In part this was due to the bible being printed resulting in revivals and the powers that be being shaken. WWI and WWII were the reset for a new economy. First we saw a communist revolution in Russia followed by Nazis in Germany protecting the Aristocracy from communism. Interestingly the other enemy of the Aristocracy were the Jews who had created international trade, foreign exchange and a capitalist system that undermined their power. What we are seeing is a battle between the 90% and the 1%. Every 50-70 years we are seeing a reset in the world order. We have seen the gospel move forward, first with the printing press, then the radio, TV and now internet. At the same time we see the corruption of the gospel with the apostasy and Hollywood.

During the height of the imperial powers the navy decided who was king. "Might makes right". When kings ruled it was "the law of the land". Whoever owned the land made the laws. This is why those who owned land were called "Lords". After WWII capitalism dominated the landscape and it was the "golden rule", "whoever has the gold makes the rules". Fifty years ago Nixon got us off the gold standard and we went to a fiat currency. You could say that it was based on the faith in the US government, but in reality they were "petrol dollars". You couldn't buy oil without using dollars. But now we are coming to "climate change" which is really an energy change. If no one needs oil and gas anymore then no one needs dollars anymore. The bottom line is that you need something of value to make your currency valuable.

So then what does the US have? We used to have manufacturing, but that has been sent abroad. We used to have gold but that was 50 years ago. The one thing we do have is agriculture, but there is nothing unique about that. We used to have the biggest market in the world, but not anymore. We are 5% of the world's population and our influence as a market is diminishing rapidly. Multinational corporations may have started in the US but they have no allegiance to us, instead they are focused solely on profit and earnings.

No, the only thing the US has that the rest of the world doesn't is a desirable place to live and work. That has been under attack. Antifa riots, LGBTQ laws, CRT, inflation, throwing the borders open to immigrants, all this is designed to destroy the US as a light set on a hill for other nations. The only thing the US had was the gospel, they were a country dedicated to the belief that all men were created equal. If you lose the gospel you lose everything.

The reason the world has moved towards freedom over the last two thousand years is because of the gospel, because of the word of God, because of our faith in the Lord Jesus. If you abandon that you lose everything.

What a shame, right when the corrupt leaders and oligarchs have been exposed. They have looted Social Security. Every dollar we pay in taxes has gone through their hands. They are no longer acting as servants for the people but rather an elite class that rules the people. The plan is very simple: absolute power. Imagine people are like cattle. They decide if you live or if they sell you to market. They decide when to thin the herds. If we go to a system where the government pays everything then the government has maximum motivation to eliminate retirees. If you are no longer productive you are simply a drain on the economy.

Think of our biggest problems -- Social Security is bankrupt. That is no longer a problem if all retired people were to die. Climate change would no longer be a problem if 7 billion people were to die (a stated goal of the 1% is to reduce world population to 500 million). It cannot be any clearer than this, the battle we are seeing is between the kingdom of heaven and the spirit of this age, between life and death, darkness and light.

Tongues of fire

Acts 1:14 These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, [j]with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

This verse suddenly struck me, the word "one accord". Suppose prior to the ascension they weren't in one accord. Suppose some wanted to go back to fishing, others wanted to start a revolution. Suppose there was bickering, fighting, and many different opinions about the way forward. In other words, suppose it was just like today with all the polarized, politicized, speech flying back and forth. There are people who want to riot in the streets, others who want to return to the way things used to be, still others who have gotten involved in politics, others concerned about "stopping the steal", etc. But once they saw the ascension of the Lord it was the fulfillment of the word about "his fan is in his hand". All of a sudden all those opinions were like chaff, blown away by seeing the Lord ascend. It could be the same thing with the rapture.

Imagine all the different Christians with all the different opinions about what is going on right now and they see the rapture. Then for the next two months the genuine ones are doing what? They are in an upper room in one accord. All those denominational differences and theological disputes get thrown out the window like chaff being blown away in the wind.

But now instead of 120 there are 144,000 in this upper room praying (cyberspace?). What happens on Pentecost? These 144,000 go forth into the whole earth with tongues of fire preaching and witnessing. We are seeing the multiplication of this gospel, Satan has been able to do nothing to stop it or slow it. It is multiplying exponentially.

If you don't watch I will come as a thief

No one knows the day or the hour and yet doctors will frequently give pregnant women a "date". No one gets bent out of shape if the baby is not born on that date, everyone understands that this is not some witch doctor prophesy, rather it is because we are not ignorant of the process nor are we ignorant of the time involved. Doctor's can calculate accurately the date of conception and based on that give a date. Using this analogy of a baby being born we can understand the Lord's charge that we are to watch as being similar to our use of the term "expecting" for pregnant women.

I was also struck by the verse that says "if you don't watch I will come as a thief in the night". This struck me for two reasons. First, the Lord said that a thief comes not but to kill, steal and destroy. How can the Lord come as a thief? That sounds much more like the antichrist. There are two sides to the Lord's coming which many have described thus "as we go up Satan comes down". Others refer to the story of Noah releasing the dove and the raven. The dove represented the Holy Spirit and the Raven represented the Antichrist. Still it is hard to understand this verse, but consider this. The Lord's coming prior to His appearing is secret, it is a "still small voice". You have to "love His appearing" and be "watching" intently, noticing "the day approaching" and "looking up". Not all believers will. However, the coming of the Antichrist is not subtle. If you missed the signs of the Lord's coming prior to the pre tribulation rapture then you will certainly not miss the signs of the antichrist. Kind of like telling your teenage kid that you will knock on their door at 6 to wake them up and the alarm clock will also go off at that time. However, if they still refuse to get up then at 6:30 you will dump a glass of water on them. One way or another the Christians are going to wake up.

The point is pretty simple, some people don't want to watch, they want to sleep. If you watch you will not be caught unawares, if you sleep you will. Being caught unawares also means you will suffer loss.

We see this in everything we do. As a teacher I saw both kinds of students, those that took the class seriously and prepared for the exams and those who didn't. If you don't prepare for the exam you suffer loss. Think about it, many people don't like exams! Why? I used to always tell my students it was an opportunity to shine. The exam is a light, it reveals those who are sleeping and it reveals those who are watching.

Exodus 19:1-13 -- The rapture is our Graduation ceremony

It is fitting that the book of Exodus would discuss the rapture. The following chapters appear to discuss the other raptures as well but to simplify this topic I have specifically focused on the pre tribulation rapture. Many have likened the rapture to the Bema judgement and this feast (Shavuot) appears to be like a graduation ceremony. A high school graduation is a good analogy for a Bema judgement, everyone has fulfilled the requirements for their “exodus” from High school. The “valedictorian” is the one with the most honorable word, and this chapter focuses on us internalizing God’s word, His law.

The atheists love to refer to Darwin, the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, as the “natural law”. This is true for millions of species, but not for 18. There are 18 species that are classified as “eusocial” and these do not follow the law of the jungle. These 18 species dominate the earth. Man is one of them, ants are another and I have heard that the total weight of all the ants on earth would equal the weight of humans. I saw a set of termite mounds in the Amazon that housed more termites than live in the UK. These 18 species change the environment for their good, they can live together in colonies greater than 100 individuals, they have diversified jobs, they can take care of others young. The atheists and FreeMasons want us live like apes. The problem is that the alpha male of the apes will kill all the young that are not his as soon as he takes power. You have these very intelligent creatures with opposable thumbs and yet they live like brute beasts. If the atheists have their way that is what we would live like.

The antichrist is this "alpha male" and the book of revelation describes how he will kill all the children of God as soon as he takes power.

Unlike ants and termites and bumble bees man is not born eusocial. We have to learn it. God gave the law to the Israelites on tablets of stone and they could not keep it because they are flesh. We are born with the natural man, born selfish, fleshly. That is why the New Testament is writing these laws on the tablets of our heart, on tablets of flesh. This is what Shavuot and the Bema judgement are all about, have you received that word, is it written on your heart?

1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. 2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.

God’s plan is to take us out of the bondage in Egypt, signifying this evil worldly system, and bring us into a good land where Jesus is King. It appears from this verse that this took place on the first day. The first day is a new moon and this will usually involve a two day interval where they study the sky to see the new moon. So this verse is somewhat vague, did they come out the day the new moon was spotted, or was it during the New moon sabbath (two to three days). The point is it was a new period of time. Right now if you are paying attention you will agree that we have entered a "new period of time". If we are walking by faith we will realize this period of time is "the third month", the month of resurrection. The month of the salvation of the triune God.

3 And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

Moses said that a prophet like unto him would come, prophesying concerning Jesus. Jesus was taken up unto God in the resurrection and ascension. This age of grace has been a time in the wilderness of Sinai where we remember the Lord, we remember what He did on the cross, we remember how He redeemed and brought us into fellowship with Him. For two thousand years grace has been imparted to us. Shavuot requires that you count 50 days, the number 50 refers to grace and to the jubilee. We have had much grace imparted to us during these 2,000 years and we need to remember that.

5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

This is our hope of glory. It depends on us obeying the voice of the Lord and keeping His covenant. The Shavuot also requires that we count seven complete sabbaths. These are seven times we are tested, will we obey the Lord’s voice, will we keep His covenant? Will we deny the Lord’s name? Will we keep His word? Philadelphia did not deny His name and they did keep His word.

7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him.

This is what we have been doing for the last 2,000 years in the church. Jesus spent 40 days with the apostles prior to his ascension and after His resurrection laying before them all the words the Lord commanded them. They in turn shared that fellowship with us in the New Testament.

8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord. 9 And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord. 10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, 11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

One day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day to the Lord. The last two thousand years have been “two days” where we have been washed and sanctified in the word. You need to ready on the third day. According to the Jewish Calendar this is the both the year of Jubilee and the first year of Jubilee after the 2,000 years.

12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: 13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.

This appears to be a reference to the trumpet blast at the time of the rapture. Shavuot is a strange feast day in that God doesn’t tell us the day or the hour. The other feast days can be very precise as to the timing, but not this one. Even here all we know is that it is the third month, could be the first day, could be the third day, it seems intentionally vague. But graduation is like that, we don't graduate the day we complete all our assignments and tests. The ceremony can be a week later. Still, this is the basic teaching concerning the rapture, the trumpet sounds and you are called up to heaven. This is also how we do a graduation. The music plays and all the graduates march in. We honor the graduates, they are “called up”.

Let's review what we know to be true and what we know to be lies

1. Several scientists both in the China and the US warned that Covid19 could turn into a pandemic. This was in the Fall of 2019 and January of 2020. They were attacked, killed, ridiculed and canceled. Yet we know everything they told us was true and it was based on science.

2. Steve Bannon began "War Room Pandemic" a podcast that was warning concerning China and the pandemic in January of 2020. He was attacked, ridiculed, mocked as a right wing nut pushing tin foil hat conspiracies, yet he has been fully vindicated. His podcast recently passed the 100 million mark, his ratings have been destroying CNN which doesn't have a single show with a million viewers anymore.

3. President Trump shut down travel to Wuhan and he was attacked for being xenophobic.

4. Fauci undermined President Trump saying there was no reason to shut down travel to Wuhan, a major error of judgement on his part.

5. Fauci was responsible for making sure the US had enough PPE and this was a second major error on his part.

6. Fauci claimed the pandemic came from a Bat cave and a wet market and that there was no evidence that it came from a bioweapons lab. This was a bold faced lie, even more so since he funded research at the Wuhan bioweapons lab using these very same viruses and since emails flew back and forth thanking him for taking the spotlight off of Wuhan.

7. Fauci and his friends put together a phony scientific document claiming the pandemic came from the Bat cave only to later be shown to be bold faced lies.

8. Fauci told us that masks don't work to prevent you from getting the disease, then told us they do, then told us two masks are better than one, then mandated the masks to everyone including kids.

9. Fauci pushed social distancing of 6 feet based on studies that were done, however the study that was done said that 3 feet was virtually as good as 6 feet. 3 feet would have allowed schools and businesses to stay open, six feet (an arbitrary number not based on science) forced all the businesses and schools to close.

10. President Trump said that HCQ, a simple substance that can be bought online, no need for a prescription (or you can make it from lemon peels and grapefruit peels) could be used to help those who have Covid. He was mocked, attacked, ridiculed and became the butt of all these jokes for suggesting we could inject bleach. As it turns out the science does support the use of HCQ and it has been proven to be both safe and effective against virtually any virus.

11. Fauci banned the use of HCQ and supported the mockery of Trump. Once again completely wrong on this decision. This decision is estimated to have killed tens of thousands of people.

12. Fauci called Cuomo the "gold standard" on how to deal with the pandemic. We now know that Cuomo killed over ten thousand seniors by sending contagious people to nursing homes.

13. During the election Harris made disparaging remarks and expressed concern over the vaccine and said she would not get it. After the election she is all for mandating the vaccine.

14. Biden and Psaki both said it was unconstitutional to mandate the vaccine and they wouldn't do that. They lied.

15. The "vaccine" is not a vaccine. The definition of a vaccine is that it makes you immune to the disease (this does not do that) and it prevents you from transmitting this disease to others (this does not do that either). So calling this a vaccine is a lie.

16. We were told that the vaccine gave you better protection against the virus than natural immunity you get from recovering from the disease. That has been proven to be false, natural immunity is about 20x better according to scientific, peer reviewed studies, and it is more durable lasting perhaps as long as 10 years (based on immunity to SARS that we can measure).

17. We were told that they would not mandate booster shots. Another lie.

18. We are now being told that this life saving medicine, a wonderful blessing to humanity to save us all alive, is being offered to us free of charge and if you don't get this medicine you will lose your job and will be excommunicated from society. If the vaccine is so great why do you have to force people to take it?

Psalm 120
1 In my distress I cried unto Jehovah,
And he answered me.
2 Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips,
And from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee,
Thou deceitful tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,
With coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul hath long had her dwelling
With him that hateth peace.
7 I am for peace:
But when I speak, they are for war.

He that keepeth thee will not slumber

Psalm 121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come?

Right now people are looking for help. They appealed to the courts, to the unions, to the US constitution. They looked to the church and their pastors. The vaccine mandates are causing people to seek help. They don't trust them, they have seen the government has lied to them, and yet if they don't get the vaccine they lose their jobs.

2 My help cometh from Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

Step 1 you lift up your eyes to the mountains, step 2 you see that your help comes from the Lord and not from anyone else. It doesn't come from Trump, or the Supreme court, or your union. Instead you see that Jesus is Lord, He warned you all this would happen thousands of years ago, He saw all of this, He made all of this, you can trust Him.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Right now it is like a tug of war, the government, the mayor, the president, the FDA, the WHO all of them are aligned on one side trying to pull the entire world to take this vaccine. If you try to pull against them with your unions, and your own strength you will be moved. Instead, take this rope and loop it around the word of God. The word is like a solid, immovable pole. They can pull as hard as they wish and your feet will not be moved.

He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Wow, I love how these two are in apposition. The word was once for all written down, we have the written word, immovable. However, at the same time we have the Lord's spoken word, He is the one speaking to us, encouraging us, strengthening us to stand in the faith. He will not slumber as the instant speaking word, the Rhema, the life giving Spirit.

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep.

Step 1 we look to the hills, step 2 we realize our help comes from the Lord, step 3 we are one with the word of God both the written and spoken word, and now step 4 we behold the Lord. Focus on the Lord of all. How? He will not slumber or sleep. He told us to watch with Him. There are believers who are one with the Lord and they are one with the Lord who is speaking, who is keeping Israel, who is not slumbering or sleeping.

5 Jehovah is thy keeper: Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day,
Nor the moon by night.

If we lose our job will we be smitten by the sun by day or by the moon by night? Will we have to work digging ditches or will we be homeless? We have a promise here, the sure words of God, the answer is no.

7 Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; He will keep thy soul.

Right now we are surrounded by all evil, yet we have a promise that we will be kept from it. We will be like Daniel in the Lion's den or like his three friends in the furnace of fire.

8 Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth and for evermore.

What time forth? We are at the doorway to eternity!

7 years of famine

Exodus 19:14-20 That which has been is that which shall be

14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. 15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives. 16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. 17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. 18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. 19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. 20 And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

This is a beautiful depiction of the rapture. The Lord descends in the clouds at the voice of the Trumpet of God and the Lord (Moses) leads the people out (carries them forth, raptures them). The Lord called Moses up. At the beginning of the age Jesus was called up, at the end of the age all the raptured saints will be called up.

1Corinthians 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ? 17 seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we all partake of the one bread.

This is what we have been doing for 2,000 years. We have become “one bread, one body”. On Shavuot you present two loaves (the Jews and Gentiles have become one sacrifice). By partaking of the Lord we have become one with Him. When Moses is called up He is a type of Christ and if we have become the body of Christ we are included in that.

Ecclesiastes 3:15 That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away.

Paul said that he had been crucified with Christ and if we are in the likeness of His death we will also be in the likeness of His resurrection. Well, the Lord ascended, why wouldn’t we ascend with Christ if we have been in the likeness of His death wouldn’t we also be in the likeness of His ascension? The Lord was the incarnated word. He manifested the word. He made the word real to us. If we have been communing on the body and blood of Jesus for 2,000 years then we will be filled with this word and express this word. Jesus was the valedictorian, the one with the most honorable word. But that is what we see in the age of grace. Read the biographies and what do you see? Each one had a word from God manifested in their lives. They lived by faith in that word, not by sight.

We need to be sanctified in the word of God

21 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish. 22 And let the priests also, which come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them. 23 And Moses said unto the Lord, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it. 24 And the Lord said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the Lord, lest he break forth upon them. 25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.

If you have not been sanctified by the washing of water in the word, then you will be left behind. However, it also tells you what you need to do over the next 3 ½ years. Read the word, pray over the word, fellowship with other believers concerning the word, sing psalms and hymns to the Lord, read spiritual books. What you are lacking and what you need is to be sanctified, and that happens when we are washed by the water in the word.

The apostasy is people leaving the word of God, saying that it no longer applies, deciding what to listen to and what to ignore. Paul makes it clear there must be an apostasy so that you can see those who have been approved by God.

1Corinthians 11:19 For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you.
