Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

Interesting point

Revelation 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

So Stan points out you can't have the judgement on the US until after the rapture. Since he doesn't believe in a pre trib rapture he believes this will happen near the end of the tribulation before the wrath of God is poured out. I disagree with him on this point and so I think this will happen at the start of the tribulation.

However, he thinks this verse is referring to those who are beheaded because they wouldn't take the mark of the beast. I don't agree with that. My understanding is that the mark of the beast is primarily in Europe. Also I believe there is another verse in Revelation that talks about all those who were beheaded rejoicing.

About a year ago I was praying and told the Lord I needed help understanding the calendars. That night I had a bizarre dream which showed me working with the triune God to write a report and they assigned this really strange brother to help me. There was a play on words with the month of Nisan. The brother reminded me of Badger in Breaking Bad. I had no idea what it meant until a few hours later when I heard someone mention Dr. Barry awe in a comment, so I opened his video and immediately realized that was the "strange" brother in my dream. So I can confirm that the Lord has called him to help us with the appointed times.

Wow, 30th of October is the end of summer

Predicting Russian Attack on America – Part 3 - 10/21/2022

https://rumble.com/v1opnpr-predicting-russian-attack-on-america-part-3-10212022.html

I do not like him calling him the false prophet, he might be one of the two witnesses. If you remember they asked John if he was the Christ and he said no, just like this guy.

The Flesh of horses?

Revelation 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

I thought that the use of horses in this battle was figurative, but you would not have birds eating the flesh of tanks or jeeps.

So imagine we have terrible EMP attacks all over the world. This fry's out computer chips and most electrical components like those in cars, tanks, and gas stations, and supply trucks, etc. Imagine that oil refineries are knocked out and tankers are sunk. We could have a situation in a few years where they would need to ride horses!

Regardless of what is what, horsemen are far superior to foot soldiers. You can carry more stuff, travel further and faster and you are much more formidable in battle.

This explosion occurred on Day of Atonement


Technically it happened a long time ago but the light just arrived on Earth.

Hebrews 11 -- Do not be deceived, cont.

8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.

We have had many smaller experiences of this, but in the grand scheme of things, we obey the Lord’s words and follow Him and ultimately this will include the rapture, where we will be going to a place where we don’t know. We don’t know where it is and we don’t know how to get there. This means he left his family, he left his friends, he left the community he grew up in. Many Christians are "set, settled", and would refuse to do such a thing. Babel was the place of the great one world religion, by comparison Abraham was a stranger in a strange land.

9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.

Living in tents is a big deal to God. The feast of tabernacles celebrates this every year. It gives you a feeling of confidence to know that you could survive in the wilderness. "Stranger in a foreign country" indicates he didn't fit in. Compare this to the Pope who lives in a palace, worships in a cathedral, and these places are considered the very heart of our civilization and culture.

10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

They talk about people pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. If you live on the land in a tent while you build the city, that is a great heritage. You are imitating God who called not being as being. There are a lot of reasons that someone might not "assimilate", they might not fit in, they might act strange (living in a tent). Being strange and not assimilating is not evidence of faith, no the reason was simple, he was focused on the city of God. That implies a judgement on the cities of man. The reason he left his country, his land, his community was because he was looking for that city, he is not about to exchange the city of God which was promised to him for a very poor substitute.

11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise. 12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

How remarkable is it that the Jewish people can trace their lineage back all the way to Abraham. People do not forget faith and they don’t forget men of faith. Now compare that with the Popes. Just tracing back the lineage for 1,000 years will give you a list of despicable, evil and fleshly Popes claiming to be God's representative on earth.

13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

Once again, those who are raptured are those that God is not ashamed of to be called their God. This implies that there are others that God is ashamed of to be called their God. We have been looking for a country of our own and have no interest in returning to the world we left behind when we were baptized. Again, there is this deception out there about what these ones that get raptured are like as though as soon as that last person is saved then the Lord returns. Seriously, the Lord's return will be held hostage by one lone holdout to the gospel?

Look at these people, none of them fits that profile. Abel provoked jealousy and envy and was killed, Enoch walked with God (something of a loner), Noah was a preacher of righteousness, very few were saved through that preaching but the world was condemned by it, Abraham became a stranger in a foreign land living in tents because of faith, Sarah believed that the one who promised was faithful.

Faith is expressed in many ways, but so far in Hebrews we have yet to see the tele evangelist listed in Hebrews 11. This is not a pet peeve, it is a carefully crafted stratagem of the evil one to get believers to be focused on being popular. Others like the Pope want to be powerful. You see this today, people want to just "go along" with the censorship, "don't make waves". "Just because you aren't allowed to speak certain things doesn't mean they control what you think". Really? They control what you hear, what you see and what you say, but you don't think that will control your faith? Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. If you are not allowed to speak the word of God or hear the word of God how is it they aren't controlling your faith?

The Pope speaks of working together to solve world problems and bring peace. How has that worked out so far in human history when the Catholic church was in charge? What the Pope wants is to be in charge. Biden told people whatever they wanted to hear and they believed him. All they had to do was look at his record to realize he was lying. How can anyone listen to the pope and not want to compare that with his record?

Are the tares burned before the wheat is gathered into the barn?

24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

Jesus sowed the good seed in His field. He said that He was like a grain of wheat being sown into the ground and that by dying He would rise again and bring forth fruit 100 fold.

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

I think all believers are stunned when they discover that there are satanists who actually worship Satan. They believe the Bible, they believe Jesus is going to return, and yet they are worshipping Satan and have actually sold their soul to Satan. They are involved in child sacrifice, human sacrifice and drinking of blood. So yes, the world does have seeds that have been sown by the enemy (Satan) that are growing up with the wheat.

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

Tares look like wheat. It is very hard to tell the difference until you see the fruit (seeds). Wheat seeds are golden, tare seeds are black. This is what has happened just recently in the US. We saw bizarre trans people made high ranking officials in our government simply because they are trans. We saw horrific policies in our schools which were profane and disgusting. I could go on but the point is the tares have recently brought forth fruit and so we can all see them now.

27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

This has caused Christians to wake up especially in the US.

28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

So here we come to your question. First the Tares are gathered up and bound into bundles first. The bundles are to be burned but that is future tense. The first thing is they are gathered up into bundles to be burned, meaning all the crooks, pedophiles, murders, etc will be gathered up to await trial and to be sentenced.

Then the wheat is gathered into the barn. This is present tense, so it is before the tares are burned. The tribulation involves the wrath of man, natural catastrophes and then at the end the wrath of God. This is how the tares get burned up. However, prior to this burning the wheat is gathered into the barn (church is gathered into heaven).

4 Reasons to consider October 30th

There is a concept in the world that the halfway point between the equinox (Sept 21) and the solstice (Dec 21) is around October 31/Nov 1 and that October 30 is the last day of summer.

There are a few interesting things here.

1. The word in the book of Jeremiah 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

This is when that would be the case.

2. The sun is going down from June 21 to Dec 21. But from the Equinox to the Solstice this is pretty much halfway.

1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

So you could say that meeting the Lord in the clouds is meeting Him halfway. If Jesus is the sun, halfway would be around October 30-Nov 1.

3. The Christmas season officially begins the day after Halloween.

Amos 5:20 Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? 21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

Look at how Amos puts these two together. It will be darkness and not light sounds like the winter solstice time. I despise your feast days -- we have a whole lot of feast days that begin with October 31, then the 4th Thursday in November, and then in December we have Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza. There is no other period like this for feast days. Not only so there will be many "Christmas parties". There will be office parties, school parties, and big Christmas pageants, etc.

22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. 23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

Also no other time is so closely associated with religious songs. The airwaves will be filled with Christmas songs.

24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. 25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? 26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

However, this festival of Christmas has its roots in Babylonian worship, it is filled with idols and on top of the tree they put the star which is also an idol.

These are three things that I feel suggest a rapture at this time.

Also, according to the history of this three day festival October 31 to Nov 2, it is supposed to be a remembrance of the flood.

Some have argued that the flood began on what would be Nov 11th so if the rapture took place then it would be according to the pattern of the rapture. Others say that Noah entered the ark one week before the flood, so that would be November 4th. So there is some connection to Noah. In Hebrew the number 7 means a crown, the number 12 means God's perfect governmental foundation and divine authority. Noah received the Noahide laws and he got a covenant for the world and you could say his crown was the number 7, the church has the New Covenant and this will result in God's perfect authority and so you could say our crown is the number 12.

4. The demons know when the appointed time is, they also know the Bible.

Matthew 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

We know that while we are looking for the rapture they are looking for the time that they will be released and no longer restrained. That is where Halloween comes from, the day the veil separating the demons from this world is the thinnest.

24 Signs of the end of the Age

No special order. This is an off the top of my head list.

1. 2017 Revelation 12 sign in the heavens at the time of the Feast of Trumpets, the woman crowned with 12 stars travailing to give birth to the Manchild. The signs are to wake people up and alert them that the end of the age is at hand. This sign will not return for such a long period of time that you know it has to be pointing to right now.

2. The pandemic in 2020. According to Joel there will be a worldwide pandemic that shuts down the world's economy because God is proclaiming a sabbath for people to fast and pray. He says that this pandemic is a sign that the day of the Lord is at hand.

3. We saw two cows in 2015, a black one with a beautiful 7 and a red one with the simplest 7, both were born with this number on their forehead. Both were born in the US. This took place right before the feast of trumpets. It was seen as being prophetic that the 7 years starting at that time would be years of plenty followed by 7 years of famine. Based on that prophecy the famine began in September of 2022 and we are seeing that. Since one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse is famine we expect the apocalypse to begin shortly.

4. 5 Red heifers arrived in Israel on September 15th, they went through ten days of quarantine and so officially arrived on the 25th of September 2022 which was the feast of trumpets. Many see this as the beginning of the 70th week in Daniel, the last seven years of this age. The Hebrew term for week is "shemitah" and it is a specific reference to a seven year period where the seventh year is a sabbath year. This feast of trumpets begins a new shemitah, therefore if this is not the 70th shemitah you have to wait another 7 years. That would destroy all 24 of the signs I am providing here. Therefore many believe that this will be the 70th Shemitah.

5. There is a prophecy from a Jewish rabbi that when the sea of Galilee is full the Messiah will return. This is the first time since that prophecy that the sea of Galilee is full and already many rabbis are proclaiming that they are talking to the "messiah". This could be the false prophet who many interpret to come out of Israel, or it could be the two witnesses that appear during the tribulation. Either way, another big sigh.

6. The US moved the embassy to Jerusalem in 2017. This confirmed that 1967 and 1917 were also jubilee years. It also refers to a prophesy from a Jewish rabbi hundreds of years earlier which said that Ottoman empire would give up Israel in the jubilee in 1917, that the next jubilee Jerusalem would return to Israel and that the next jubilee after that would be the end of the age.

7. The Abraham accords where several countries made peace with Israel saying they could rebuild their temple is a major sign referred to in Daniel.

8. The 120th jubilee of human history was 2017. There is a prophecy that it takes 6,000 years (6 days) to make men and that the seventh day is the day of rest with the millennial reign.

9. The war in Ukraine is fulfilling the prophecy in Ezekiel 38. A rabbi prophesied years ago that when the war in Ukraine starts the Messiah would appear (false prophet?)

10. Earthquakes have increased 1,000% since the 1950s.

11. Stolen election and the stop the steal rallies along with the weaponization of the DOJ and FBI indicates we have an internal coup just as in the days of Esther. Steve Bannon is clearly a modern day Mordecai.

12. The US has become Sodom and Gomorrah, they rebel against God's word and they are proud of that.

13. The apostasy of the church "has to come first". Many churches have left the word of God, they ignore verses in the Bible, they explain away other verses. It is no longer "Jesus is Lord" in the church but rather "their church, their rules".

14. BLM protests were the sign of Jonah given to this evil and adulterous age. Jonah protested in the streets of Nineveh for 40 days over their abuses as a slave holding city. Jonah was spit out on the beach after traveling across the ocean in the belly of a beast just as the slaves brought from Africa were.

15. 911 was a harbinger of God's judgment on this nation. We were given 19 years to repent. Instead we claimed we would build back better, ignoring God's warning and 19 years later the pandemic hit.

16. Knowledge has increased exponentially with smart phones, AI and the internet.

17. People are flying all over the earth (Daniel said they would run to and fro).

18. The Pope has just begun something called Chrislam where all the monotheistic religions unite, excluding evangelical Christians and ultimately leading to them persecuting the church.

19. They are using RFID chips in people's hands to buy and sell along with requiring social credit scores and vaccine passports. It is very clear that a digital currency as the mark of the beast will be implemented shortly.

20. Many are saying they are the anointed of God (ie the Christ) and are deceiving many on Youtube and the internet.

21. The entire world is watching what is happening and is effected by what happens. Never before in human history has that been true to this extent. TV's did not become common until after WWII. Radio just came out at the time of WWI.

22. The gospel is preached worldwide on the internet.

23. Lawlessness is increasing. We see things happening everyday that are stunning concerning how lawless they are.

24. The church will be hated. It is so obvious where a pastor who sings hymns outside an abortion clinic is arrested by a swat team at his house while people who fire bomb churches are ignored.

Seeing Jesus in the Flesh, part 2

Recently a brother questioned the authenticity of Paul's ministry since he never met Jesus in the flesh. I addressed that, but then it recently occurred to me that we are seeing many of the people described in the Bible today.

1. Mordecai -- It is so clear to me that Steve Bannon is clearly the modern version of Mordecai in the book of Esther.

2. Q -- this mysterious group in the US government is clearly the modern version of Esther. They aren't the king but they are key members of the administration.

3. The widow who threw in her whole living into the offering box -- clearly you can see this widow by looking at Mike Lindell.

4. Jezebel -- Hard to dispute that Hillary Clinton is a wonderful depiction of queen Jezebel.

5. Ahab -- That in turn means that Bill Clinton is a wonderful depiction of her husband.

6. Naboth -- There are 100 people who have been suicided associated with the Clintons.

7. Mockers and Scorners described by Peter -- easy to see these today.

8. Watchmen on the wall -- many of these as well who are posting warnings concerning the Lord's soon coming.

9. The Assyrian -- I think Obama makes a great depiction of this character.

10. The false prophet -- The false prophet comes out of Jerusalem and right now the rabbis are saying they are talking with "the Messiah".

11. The prophets of Baal -- so clear that people like Newsom who thinks it is love to offer to people outside of California to come there so they could sacrifice your baby. All these crazies throwing blood on churches and acting like lunatics.

12. The prophets with Elijah -- there are those who are getting dreams and visions and delivering them to the church as messages from God. It isn't all false prophets and prophets of Baal.

13. I have heard the two witnesses are ready to go as soon as the Lord gives them the go ahead. Probably after the rapture, but if you are left behind you'll get to see them.

14. The rapture is about to take place which means you will see the church in Philadelphia along with all the overcomers.

15. Sorcerers -- we can see these guys with the Vaccine.

16. The woman riding the beast, mystery Babylon -- we have seen these ceremonies depicting this woman riding a beast at various international sporting events/olympic events.

17. Nephelim -- I have heard that they also will be returning after the rapture.

18. Demon possessed -- You can see a number of youtube videos with the demon possessed.

19. Jehu -- If Hillary is Jezebel Trump is Jehu.

20. Samson -- The strong man is Jesus, but this January 6th trial reminds me of when Samson is brought out into the temple of Baal for them to all jeer and that is when the two pillars are pushed out of the way causing the total collapse of this temple. The numeric value of pillar in Hebrew equals the numeric value of the church. Paul says the church is the pillar, and pushing them out of the way indicates the rapture of the church.

This is an awesome time to be alive! Thank you Jesus your word is true!

These men will be punished most severely

Luke 20:45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples, 46 “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 47 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”

Isn't that incredible? Beware the teachers of the law! The Bible charges you repeatedly to be in the word, to study the word, to bind the word to you and yet the one you really need to beware is "the teacher of the law"? But the Lord didn't stop there, they like to have fancy robes, be treated respectfully in the marketplace and have the most important seats of honor. This is not referring to John the Baptist who was wearing the weirdest robes, he was shunned from the marketplace and wasn't invited to their feasts choosing to eat locusts instead.

And how do they pay for these fancy robes, why are all those in the marketplace so deferential, why do the banquets honor them with the best seats? It is because they devour widow's houses, that his how they are enriched and how they enrich others.

The whole thing is an act, a big show, a pretense.
