Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Be encouraged. Every single person who has been saved has sinned and has had to confess and repent of those sins. The blood that washed any other believer will also wash away your sins, you simply confess and repent. No one will be able to judge you. The accuser of the brethren is cast down, we overcome the accuser by the Blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony. Confess your sins and testify that Jesus is Lord and you shall be saved.

Revelation 12:10-17 A Demonic invasion like a flood

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.

January 6th is a great example of “the accuser of our brethren”. Videos are coming out exposing all the lies and nasty accusations. We can see the police waving people in, we can see people in the crowd running to the police to do something, we can see the people in the capitol acting like respectful tourists. The facts come out as well, we can see the false accusations of “insurrection” yet no one is charged with having a weapon. We see the false story about the officer being beaten to death changed to dying from Bear spray changed to dying from a stroke that was not related to the event. We can see Ashley Babbit being shot and killed and those in charge hiding the identity of the person who shot her.

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

There are two sides to this story. If you are raptured to the heavens it is a time of rejoicing. If you are left on the earth it is a time of woe. For many Christians it will be a time of weeping and gnashing of teeth. Once again, we see another reference to this “zombie apocalypse”. The inhabitants of the sea are the demons. There appears to be a number of bread crumbs concerning this. The most vile of people who are guilty of bloodguiltiness get expelled from the cemetery, so even though it is the dead in Christ that rise first, the damned also rise and fallen angels who have been kept in chains in gloomy bonds apparently go to and fro on the earth gathering these ones up. It is described as “three days of darkness” though I have yet to confirm that it is actually three days. But the damned being raised is Biblical, the angels being held in chains released to the Earth is Biblical, and the description of this being “gross darkness” is Biblical. Woe to those inhabiting the Earth and Sea is also Biblical and that is because the Devil is come down unto you.

13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

Already in many countries on earth the church is persecuted, but apparently it will become really horrific at this time. The dragon wanted to devour the child but was restrained, held back and unable to. But once the restrainer steps aside the devil is released to terrorize and persecute those who remain on earth. However, this turns God’s people to trust in God and there is a great revival. They want to turn the saints into slaves, but failing to do that the only option left is to cut off their heads lest the whole world follow them in the revival.

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

My understanding is that “the great eagle” signifies the US. True, Mexico also has an eagle as their national symbol, but they would not be the “great” eagle. I understand this as being a flood of immigrants to the US across our border, even flying in from all over the world. Obviously before that could happen the laws concerning immigration would have to be loosened. But we already accept those fleeing persecution so there is already a solid basis for this. Also the Democrats have thrown the border wide open for political advantage, but once the bums are thrown out we’ll lose many believers but they will be replaced with all those fleeing persecution from Satan. A time, and times and half a time is understood as 3 ½ years which is also what the 1,260 days represents in the Jewish calendar. As a rule our tribulation is only for a short period of time compared to the eternal weight of glory. If I was left on the earth for the 1,260 days I would be counting each day, focused on preparing myself to be taken.

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

So here is another example, you have the man child, you have the woman and you have the remnant. The word remnant means “a small remaining quantity of something”. Some are taken, some will remain. Two are in the field, one is taken, one is left behind. In Greek the word for the one left behind is used to indicate divorced. This is a common thread whenever the rapture is discussed. This flood that they are referring to is quite unnerving, how many times does the Bible refer to a “flood”? How many times does the “earth open his mouth to swallow up a flood”. As bad as the floods are now in Europe and China I don’t believe this rises to what John is referring to, at least not yet.

However, I think that it is related to the meteor shower on September 23 and 24th. If 3,000 meteors hit the Earth you would expect 2,000 to hit the ocean. They would cause massive evaporation and steam. This would rise and when it is forced over the mountain ranges, particularly the Rockies and the Himalayas it will become rain. We will see floods that are truly Biblical, in fact it was a large asteroid hitting the ocean that caused Noah’s flood.

Zephaniah 3:6-20 I will undo all that afflict thee

6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.

Just look at history. French Revolution, Russian Revolution, Roman Empire, there is a long list of those He cut off.

7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.

All these corrupt and wicked politicians think that because they “worked hard” they deserve to be where they are. Yes they rose early, and they also corrupted all their doings. The purpose of the Twin Towers being brought down is that we would be humbled and fear God. The purpose of the humiliating defeat in Afghanistan is that we would be humbled and fear God.

8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

He is talking about Armageddon. You want to see some scary youtube videos, watch the videos of both the Russians and Chinese military reviews. They are going to pour people into Armageddon just as the Bible said. Our withdrawal from Afghanistan has made them one of the best equipped militaries in the world. If they make an alliance with Russia, Pakistan, and Turkey they would have the manpower and military might to be the power in the region. This is why Saudi Arabia just made a treaty with Russia.

9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.

This is the problem and it dates all the way back to the tower of Babel. When you worship idols it creates a language barrier, because of uncleanness. Why do people speak in “forked tongues”? Uncleanness, deceit, cunning craftiness all designed to hide evil intentions. One language doesn’t mean English or Chinese, we have technological solutions for that. No the issue is some speak with a forked tongue and some speak truth. Some call on the name of the Lord and some worship idols. They call a humiliating defeat a success, one month they say there will be no vaccine mandates, the next month the President is declaring vaccine mandates for all federal employees. Biden says we cannot allow Putin to remain in power but denies he is calling for regime change.

10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering. 11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.

This is the purpose of the great tribulation, to remove these proud and haughty people.

12 I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the Lord. 13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

Simple really, the judgement is due to people doing iniquity, speaking lies and having a deceitful tongue. The ones who survive are those who trust in the name of the Lord.

14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. 15 The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.

This is why all these debates about climate change are stupid. You can’t deal with any of these problems until you first remove the enemy. The more they discussed protecting the Amazon rainforest the faster it was burned. The more they talked about protecting the fish in the sea the faster they were harvested. If you really are concerned with the environment then the first step is to remove the enemy, those who commit iniquity, those who lie and speak with a deceitful tongue.

16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack. 17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

If we have one pure language then we can all come together with joy and singing. The world is so corrupt, they want to control, package, and sell to you “joy and singing”.

18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.

What is this entire movement about respecting everyone, no judgement, etc? What they are actually doing is judging and reproaching Christians and their solemn assembly. They reproached us for speaking of Jesus as a savior and one who delivers from sin. Everyone has a right to believe as they wish without judgement really means everyone but Christians.

19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.

The cancel culture is all about “driving out” and “putting to shame” anyone who speaks for the Lord or from the Bible. The tribulation will be a time of gathering the believers together with a great revival.

20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord.

Just like the Gospels, they will realize that if they don't kill the believers the whole world will follow the Lord.

Lazarus being raised from the dead is the single best NT picture of the rapture. After that event Jesus eats with Mary, Martha and Lazarus six days before Passover. This is confusing.

However, the way I look at is this: There are two groups of Christians, those that will be raptured at the pre tribulation rapture and those that will wake up and be chastened at that event because their vessels are not filled with oil. Miriam was kicked outside the camp for 7 days, I would say this chastening and rebuke will be for seven days. Then on the eighth day you will have the Lord eat with the left behind saints to strengthen them so that He can now enter Jerusalem triumphantly. Why does the whole world go after Jesus, because of the resurrection of Lazarus, a type of the rapture.

So then after this meal you have Jesus triumphant entrance into Jerusalem.

In my view the Passover event is the beginning of the year, it is how we start our Christian life, not the glorious conclusion. For those who are left behind they must start over, they must leave the world, they must clean out the old leaven from the house, they must put the blood of the lamb on the door of their heart.

It is not a rapture event, the rapture is a confirmation that there is only one way to the Father, to take up your cross and follow Jesus.

These Hidden Devices Revealed Dream 8-25-21

(I had one person think that referencing dreams is "gibberish"). Foolish comments like that demonstrate a lack of knowledge of the word of God. The prophecy is clear that the Lord will give us a whole lot of dreams before the great and terrible day comes. If there were no dreams then that would be troubling. Dreams do not in any way change the word of God but they do give us a variety of perspectives and details that we might not be able to see simply from the word of God.

Rapture before Passover

1. Pastor Sandy has shown that the year 2021 is the year of the ascending or going up. The last day of this year is April 1, 2022.

2. The crossing of the Jordan when Joshua led the children of Israel into the good land was before Passover.

3. Lazarus rising from the dead was before Passover.

4. 16 for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

Jeremiah 6:1-12 -- I will turn away from you and make your land desolate so no one can live in it.”

“Flee for safety, people of Benjamin! Flee from Jerusalem! Sound the trumpet in Tekoa! Raise the signal over Beth Hakkerem! For disaster looms out of the north, even terrible destruction.

What a picture. The Southern kingdom was composed of Judah and Benjamin. Here we see that this kingdom is split in two just like what we are seeing today between the “Leftists” and the “Conservatives”. These two locations are the southern border of Judah with Benjamin. Again, if this were the US then Jerusalem would be Washington DC. To flee from Washington DC would then have a double meaning. Yes, the capital is surrounded by troops and fences, but it is also the “heart of the corruption”, some are now calling it “the district of corruption”.

2 I will destroy Daughter Zion, so beautiful and delicate.

I prefer the translation that describes the daughter of Zion as a beautiful pasture. For the last century the world has looked at the US as a great place to do business, but that will be destroyed.

3 Shepherds with their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents around her, each tending his own portion.”

Again, I prefer the translation that describes them each with their hand out. Why is the US being destroyed as a place to do business? It is because of the government mandated shutdown as well as the schools being shut down. What is keeping them from lifting the mandate? Not the science (as a rule kids are at a very low risk). Not the hospitals, the cases have dropped significantly. We now have treatments that work and three different vaccines. No, what is keeping them from reopening is the teachers unions. “Offspring of vipers” they have learned to “never let a crisis go to waste” and have their hand out demanding all kinds of money from the federal government.

4 “Prepare for battle against her! Arise, let us attack at noon! But, alas, the daylight is fading, and the shadows of evening grow long. 5 So arise, let us attack at night and destroy her fortresses!”

Wow, how appropriate. The pandemic was designed to destroy the positive economic news and help get Biden elected. The idea was to reopen after the election but now it is dragging on and on. This was designed to unseat the Republicans but now it will destroy the fortresses of the Democrats. Cuomo, Whitmer and Newsom are now coming under intense pressure to either be recalled, impeached or resign. Fauci is being mocked as a liar and a joke. The CDC and the WHO are losing credibility. Biden's poll numbers are at an all time low for him, and never in US history have we had a president have such low poll numbers, especially this early in his administration. I would liken Biden to Ishbosheth who reigned for 2 years in Jerusalem.

6 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Cut down the trees and build siege ramps against Jerusalem. This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression.

Fair enough, lay siege to the Capital. Every day the news is being proclaimed, Biden is causing jobs to be lost, he is damaging our industries, he is being controlled by radical leftists. The censorship is being exposed. People are building alternative platforms from which to proclaim the facts. For someone who is supposed to have had the most massive turnout in election history this is the most epic drop in support ever. Meanwhile the evidence of voter fraud continues to press the case. People are being arrested, States are passing legislation, courts are upholding subpoenas. And it is filled with oppression, Biden mandating the vaccine for everyone and talking about sending the military into the states to enforce it. The hypocrisy and criminality in their attempt to get Jackson's nomination for the Supreme court approved is on full display. Biden's atrocious handling of the economy bringing us into massive inflation is on full display, and Biden's horrendous comments concerning the war in Ukraine are enough to make many demand he be removed from office. Not only so but Hunter is about to be indicted. Biden is under seige.

7 As a well pours out its water, so she pours out her wickedness. Violence and destruction resound in her; her sickness and wounds are ever before me.

We are now seeing the violence and destruction of Antifa and even the January 6 riot in a new light. The evidence and facts are changing the public's opinion. Over 70% of Americans view Antifa as domestic terrorists while the evidence that any Trump supporters committed any acts of violence on January 6 is becoming thinner and thinner. The lies and falsehood were poured out as water. AOC crying about how she felt threatened, FBI claiming a policeman was bludgeoned to death, Antifa is not committing acts of terrorism because they loot at night.

8 Take warning, Jerusalem, or I will turn away from you and make your land desolate so no one can live in it.”

Could anyone have believed this a year ago? March 3,2020 there was no pandemic, no shutdown, no Stop the Steal rallies, and very little in the way of rioting and looting by Antifa. Two years later we are concerned about being in a nuclear war, 2 million illegal aliens in our country, hyperinflation and a deep recession.

9 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Let them glean the remnant of Israel as thoroughly as a vine; pass your hand over the branches again, like one gathering grapes.”

This is what we are hearing out of the left. They have thrown open our border, they want to keep the schools closed, and the government is gleaning the US, they want to pass another 3.5 trillion dollar stimulus plan after having just passed a previous one of 1.9 trillion. The yields on our bonds have spiked up and now they are doubling the amount of bonds they are trying to sell. For those who don’t understand if the yield on the bonds goes up the US debt will skyrocket and when that happens you will see inflation, perhaps even runaway inflation. Saudi Arabia may have already made a covenant with Russia for security, replacing the dollar with the Ruble.

10 To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed so they cannot hear. The word of the Lord is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it.

Just like today. It is like two completely different worlds, those that listen to CNN cannot listen to warnings from people like Tucker Carlson or Steve Bannon.

11 But I am full of the wrath of the Lord, and I cannot hold it in. “Pour it out on the children in the street and on the young men gathered together; both husband and wife will be caught in it, and the old, those weighed down with years. 12 Their houses will be turned over to others, together with their fields and their wives, when I stretch out my hand against those who live in the land,” declares the Lord.

This is what we are seeing, small businesses are getting hit very hard, the bankruptcies will sweep across the country. Especially small landlords who have not been able to collect rent for more than a year. Restaurants that were forced to close. Cuomo and four other governors mandated that people sick with Covid had to return to the nursing homes guaranteeing that many elderly would get sick and die. Mental health issues among kids who have had to study remotely for the last year have increased 100%. Young people cannot find jobs.

There are those who attacked Dana Coverstone as a false prophet based on his dreams "not being fulfilled". However, this was one of the key things he saw and it appears it will be true by this weekend. See post #3938

Jeremiah 6:13-30 The Lord has rejected them

13 “From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. 14 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace.

The hypocrisy and lies are repulsive. All the courts refusing to listen to evidence of election fraud. This is not helping the situation. They are trying to say that there is nothing to see here and yet the lies and hypocrisy are overflowing, no one believes a word they say. All of these mainstream media outlets and tech giant platforms and politicians and pundits practice deceit. The most vocal advocates of the “#MeToo” movement when one woman brought a charge against Kavanaugh from 20 years previously, a charge that could not be substantiated, these same people are refusing to listen to multiple women bring charges against Biden and Cuomo. Joy Behar and Kamala Harris are two prime examples of the most deceitful and hypocritical women. This confirmation hearing for judge Jackson when they lied saying repeatedly she had 7 cases involving pedophiles when they were hiding the fact that there was an eighth case. Apparently the case against Karl Rove in his detestable smearing of Greitens is an even worse example of how they have no shame.

15 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them,” says the Lord. 16 This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

Right now there is a fork in the road, some will find the path that leads to life, but only a few, the rest will take the broad way that leads to destruction. Not only so but when they heard people preaching and warning and telling them to take the path that leads to life they were obstinate “we will not walk in it”.

17 I appointed watchmen over you and said, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But you said, ‘We will not listen.’

There are Christians everywhere on the internet sounding the alarm and their response is “we will not listen”.

18 Therefore hear, you nations; you who are witnesses, observe what will happen to them.

The whole world is watching what is happening in the US. God punishes the US and the rest of the world is warned.

19 Hear, you earth: I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my word and have rejected my law.

The disaster is self inflicted. Just like the blackouts in Texas, or the people dying in nursing homes, or the laws being passed concerning the tech giants and censorship.

20 What do I care about incense from Sheba or sweet calamus from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable; your sacrifices do not please me.”

Do you think that God cares if Joe Biden shows up at Mass? Do you think that he tells a few “hail Mary’s” and then it will be all fine?

21 Therefore this is what the Lord says: “I will put obstacles before this people. Parents and children alike will stumble over them; neighbors and friends will perish.”

Deceit like the SAT scandal, election fraud, drugs, etc. The schools are closed, Antifa continues to riot in the street, now that the borders have been thrown open we’ll see drugs flooding back into the cities. Mental health issues with kids.

22 This is what the Lord says: “Look, an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is being stirred up from the ends of the earth.

They refused to listen to the warning, but more than a year ago Steve Bannon started a daily broadcast called “War Room Pandemic” because he saw that the virus in Wuhan had the potential to become a pandemic. They mocked and ridiculed him as a tin foil hat conspiracy. But he was right. We now have the evidence that this came from the Wuhan Bio weapons lab and that the CCP has done many things to obstruct a thorough investigation. The only reasonable attitude at this point is that we view this pandemic as an attack with a bioweapon from the CCP until we can get the evidence to prove otherwise. Then we also have evidence that the CCP was involved in stealing the US election. This has been published in Mike Lindell’s movies exposing the fraud. That should also be viewed as China’s being complicit in a coup in the US. These are acts of war. The nation being stirred up is Russia.

23 They are armed with bow and spear; they are cruel and show no mercy. They sound like the roaring sea as they ride on their horses; they come like men in battle formation to attack you, Daughter Zion.”

Wake up! Anyone who would attack with a bioweapon that destroys the world’s economy is not going to show any mercy.

24 We have heard reports about them, and our hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped us, pain like that of a woman in labor.

Nice, I wonder if this is a reference to the birth pains of the woman who is bringing forth the Man Child. In the gospel of Luke the Lord said that when we see Jerusalem compassed about with troops that this is the last sign prior to the rapture at the beginning of the tribulation. Now here in Jeremiah there appears to be a confirmation of that.

25 Do not go out to the fields or walk on the roads, for the enemy has a sword, and there is terror on every side.

After the rapture there will be a dramatic collapse in law and order. Imagine what the US would be like if you don’t remove any of the Antifa or people who are rioting and looting but you do remove a third of all the cops, a third of teachers, and all the people standing with the Lord for righteousness.

26 Put on sackcloth, my people, and roll in ashes; mourn with bitter wailing as for an only son, for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.

When they say “peace and security” then there is sudden destruction. The claims of “peace, peace” were fake news. This is the problem with deceit, people don’t see the destroyer that is coming.

27 “I have made you a tester of metals and my people the ore, that you may observe and test their ways.

This is a test, we are being tested, will you stand for the Lord, are you truly walking by faith or by sight?

28 They are all hardened rebels, going about to slander. They are bronze and iron; they all act corruptly. 29 The bellows blow fiercely to burn away the lead with fire, but the refining goes on in vain; the wicked are not purged out. 30 They are called rejected silver, because the Lord has rejected them.”

“They are called rejected silver” -- can’t get any clearer than that. He is talking about those who are left behind after the rapture. He accused them of going about to slander, that is what he accused the ten spies who brought an evil report of doing. God was greatly offended at them slandering trees and rocks, you can imagine what He will do to those who are slandering His believers, His church, and those who are trying to walk the narrow way.
