Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

Proverbs 28:17-28 Who will be delivered?

17 A man that is laden with the blood of any person Shall flee unto the pit; let no man stay him.

This chapter began by saying the wicked flee when no one is pursuing them. It also told us that the wicked will fall into the pit they dug for the upright. In conclusion, anyone who is laden with the blood of any person will flee into the pit. Don’t try to stop them. I have seen that in the last decade the Billionaires and the elites and the powerful have been digging bunkers. They are preparing for a cataclysmic event or a nuclear holocaust. Either way they are fleeing to the pit. Don’t worry about them, the Lord will deal with them.

18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be delivered; But he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

This is what we see during the tribulation and the rapture. The upright are delivered (harpazo -- snatched out of the way), the perverse fall at once (about a third of the people on the earth die) and the elites run and hide in caves and pits. They will be dealt with during the tribulation and the great tribulation.

19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

Let’s focus on the believers. You have the wise virgins whose vessel is filled with oil and you have the foolish virgins who have empty vessels. What does it mean to “follow after vain persons”? They waste their time watching Hollywood movies, or trivial TV or they read all kinds of vain books that waste their precious time. We were told to redeem the time because the days are evil, but instead of tilling their land and sowing the word of God in their heart they follow after vain people who don’t have the word of God.

20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings; But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished.

You don’t need to be rich. You simply need to move in that direction. For example, if I put a small part of every paycheck into the bank I am increasing my net worth with each paycheck. I am moving in the right direction. The same is true of the word of God. You don’t need to know all mysteries, simply add more word this week than what you had last week.

21 To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.

Both of these things are “not good”. People will often have respect of persons to help their career. We call that “brown nose”. It is not good. This is what happens if you lack faith. When I was a teacher half of our review was based on the observation from the principal and half was based on how our kids did on the exams. If you lack faith you have to go all in on the observation from the principal. I taught Earth Science and there was another woman who also taught this at my school. She went all in on her observations, the principal loved them, and I was encouraged to observe her. I did observe her and although she was very well prepared and did everything the principal asked I never saw a lesson that I thought “hey, I should use that”. Instead they always seemed very elementary, something you would teach in sixth grade even though we were teaching high school. Instead I went all in on my kids performance and every year we saw improvement until we had the best performing kids in NYC. Meanwhile this other teacher who was praised by the principal and moved on to become a principal, the best her kids ever did was a little better than average. That makes sense, if you do exactly what everyone else is doing then of course you should expect to be “average”. Being “average” is not good, neither is it bad, it is simply average, typical, common.

22 He that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches, And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.

As a teacher I saw this as well. There is a lot of pressure for your kids to do well. If you lack faith, lack a vision, lack wisdom then your kids will not do well. If you have a bad observation then you know this exam could sink you and so some teachers and some principals cheat. I have seen a great number of different cheaters during my career, it isn’t just students, it is also teachers and administrators. Fortunately most of the ones I saw were on the news at other schools. There is no excuse for this. Teachers have five years before they get tenure. During that time you can really improve your performance quite a bit without worrying about the ultimate results. All you really have to do during those five years is follow the principal’s instructions to the letter. As long as you do that they won’t fire you. Then you should at the very least be “an average teacher”. As long as you are average they won’t fire you. But take a short cut, choose to cheat, and it is only a matter of time before your whole world comes crashing down on you.

23 He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor Than he that flattereth with the tongue.

As a teacher you get observed several times a year by both administrators and colleagues. Any time someone observes you they will give you feedback. Telling you “great job, I wouldn’t change a thing” is not feedback. So you will get a lot of suggestions on possible improvements. Sometimes the advice can be difficult to take, but whenever someone gave me advice that made me a better teacher I really appreciated it. Often you don’t know that until a month or two later. You try it, you see it works, you appreciate it, and then in your mind that person has gained favor and respect.

24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, The same is the companion of a destroyer.

I am disgusted by what I am seeing on the news with these school boards attacking the parents and robbing them of their children. School boards work for the parents, not the other way around. These people are “a destroyer”. Trying to groom kids for the LGBTQ lifestyle, teaching CRT, and trying to shut the parents out of the process. These ones teach the kids to rob their parents. Do not let your kids be a companion of the destroyer. The devil comes to destroy, he prohibits prayer, he prohibits the name of Jesus, he prohibits the gospel or even the ten commandments. Public school has become a toxic environment for kids.

25 He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife; But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat.

We saw this during 2020. They stirred up riots across the country as a political tool to win the election. But all that is coming back to bite them. We now have rampant crime nationwide in all the cities that had pushed the whole “defund the police” movement. They ridiculed Trump when he suggested you could use HCQ to treat Covid so now what do they do? Cities and schools shut down due to a contagious cold because this is what you told them to do. Biden said that Trump should have resigned having so many dead on his watch, yet Biden now has more dead on his watch. All of these things are causing their poll numbers to absolutely collapse. Meanwhile states like Florida and South Dakota that put their trust in the Lord are prospering and becoming fat.

26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool; But whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

What an important clarification. It seems everyone thinks they are right and are unable to listen to anyone else. Yet he makes this very clear, if you trust in your own heart you are a fool. Stop pretending you are walking wisely, you are a fool. Walking wisely is to pray to the Lord for wisdom, to turn your ear to listen to the Law, to keep the commandments, to avoid evil companions, to love mercy and to do justice.

27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; But he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

The Lord knows what is going on. Don’t pretend you didn’t see the poor, the Lord knows the truth.

28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase.

Yes, the wicked will rise like weeds. We have seen this in history. We saw this with Hitler, we saw this with the Caesars, we saw this with Stalin and Mao. But the wicked will also perish just like weeds being tossed into the fire. Again we saw this throughout history. The Bible refers to the rapture as the Lord “hiding us” for a short period of time until the wrath has passed.

10 DAY WARNING

Jeremiah 6:1-8 -- I will make your land so that 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 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. Now Kerry is telling us US taxpayers need to pay reparations to the rest of the world for climate change. This is a shakedown.

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 it dragged on and on. This was designed to unseat the Republicans but now it will destroy the fortresses of the Democrats. Cuomo is out, all those republicans that voted to impeach Trump are out, 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. The Twitter files are exposing the big tech collusion with the deep state.

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. Biden’s support was down to the twenty six percentile range after only 12 month in office. 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.

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, and the absurd claim that 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 two and a half years 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. A year later homicides are up by 300% in some cities. Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle are becoming unlivable.

Elon Musk Takes a Swipe at Former Twitter Execs Following Release of Twitter Files Pt. 2 — Announces BIG CHANGE Coming to Twitter

Hold up a mirror and tell me do you like what you see?

Hosea 1:2 When the Lord began to speak by Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea:

“Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry
And children of harlotry,
For the land has committed great harlotry
By departing from the Lord.”

I hate this book. Hosea is walking the narrow way that leads to life and that few find, no wonder. You assume if I am following God and faithful to Him that He will not lead me to take a wife of harlotry. However, if you are truly following God and are faithful to Him wouldn't you want to be able to serve Him? This is a very complicated situation and I think it is very hard to understand God's word without experience. To depart from the Lord is the "apostasy" and no doubt this book describes an apostate church and the Jews in the diaspora.

3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

Many expositors point out that Gomer is a reference to Germany and so this is prophetic of the Jews at the time of Hitler. However, it is also prophetic of the Jews at the time of Hosea. God's word is living and active and sharper than any two edged sword dividing the soul from the spirit. I would say this word is also prophetic of the apostate church in the last days.

4 Then the Lord said to him:

“Call his name Jezreel,
For in a little while
I will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu,
And bring an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 It shall come to pass in that day
That I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”

Here is an example of how complicated things are. First, what does Jezreel mean or refer to? There are several plausible ideas. Second, the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu refers to the 70 sons of the kings family that Jehu killed following God's orders. They were idolatrous, they worshipped Moloch, Jehu wiped them out according to God's word or did he? This is what the idolatrous, and cheats and adulterers always say. Just like Saul "I did what you told me to do". If Jehu did what God told him to do in wiping out the idolaters then why did he set up his own idols? This is the problem that God has, all men are liars, they are all sinners, they all fall short of the glory of God. As a result there are no "white hats" and "black hats", so if God is going to judge one group of sinners He must use another group of sinners to do it.

6 And she conceived again and bore a daughter. Then God said to him:

“Call her name Lo-Ruhamah,
For I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel,
But I will utterly take them away.
7 Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah,
Will save them by the Lord their God,
And will not save them by bow,
Nor by sword or battle,
By horses or horsemen.”

I'm starting to feel sympathetic to Gomer. How would you like to married to Hosea, he says you are a wife of harlotry and this is the names he gives to your first two children? It seems to me that God is steaming over the last thousand years or more of Jewish history and taking it all out on this one woman. Imagine if you said this today, there are many women these days that are promiscuous prior to marriage. Still they would be offended to be called "a wife of harlotry". Can you imagine having a baby girl that the father names Lo-Ruhamah? The name means unloved or unpitied or one who has not obtained mercy. Again it is complicated. I feel pity for a baby girl that is unloved or who has not obtained mercy. How can this be? Well, this is what happens with an adulterous wife, the children are the victims. It was the same with the Jews in Germany. Many were born there through no fault of their own, think of Anne Frank. But because of the sins of their parents they go through hell.

8 Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son. 9 Then God said:

“Call his name Lo-Ammi,
For you are not My people,
And I will not be your God.

How does Gomer put up with this? Not my people, you call your son that? Imagine a father naming his son "not my son"! Everyone understands that. This is what happened with the holocaust. This is what is going to happen in the tribulation.

Israel and their history is one thing, but we all are made from the same lump of cheese. What we are seeing from the apostasy is not the growth of Christ in our hearts, but rather the sin nature taking charge and that story has been seen over and over in history.

It sounds horrifying, but let's consider the apostate church. They have said that Jesus is not their Lord. When they say that this verse or that verse is out of date and they can ignore this and that, they are saying He is not Lord. When they say that they have been once for all forgiven and it is OK to live in sin that is like a wife saying that her marriage was once for all and now it is OK for her to be an adulterous wife.

The Lord said that as He has forgiven us we should forgive others also and that if we do not forgive others the way that He has forgiven us then neither will His father forgive us. We are taught to pray that God the Father would forgive us our trespasses even as we forgive those who trespass against us. This is how we obtain mercy. The apostate church does not practice that.

Just like Jehu the apostate church dealt with idolaters in the past, perhaps the Catholics, or some other group that was in error. But then they set up their own idols and became far worse than those they deposed.

10 “Yet the number of the children of Israel
Shall be as the sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or numbered.
And it shall come to pass
In the place where it was said to them,
‘You are not My people,’
There it shall be said to them,
‘You are sons of the living God.’
11 Then the children of Judah and the children of Israel
Shall be gathered together,
And appoint for themselves one head;
And they shall come up out of the land,
For great will be the day of Jezreel!

God is going to be glorified. This is called "winning the divorce". Now you can let this word take root, repent and return to worshipping God alone, or you can go into the holocaust as someone who is going to pay for the sins of the apostasy, someone who never obtained mercy and as someone who even God denies that you are His child.

God is going to be glorified.

The apostate church = God's unfaithful people

Hosea 2:1 Say to your brethren, ‘My people,’
And to your sisters, ‘Mercy is shown.’


God’s Unfaithful People
2 “Bring charges against your mother, bring charges;
For she is not My wife, nor am I her Husband!
Let her put away her harlotries from her sight,
And her adulteries from between her breasts;

Your brothers and your sisters are not your mother. The condemnation is not on the believers but on the system. So if the church is apostate, if they worship Mary, or if they celebrate pagan festivals like Christmas and Easter, then that is not the sin of some brother or sister who just got saved, it is the sin that has been hidden in the three measures of meal which has leavened the whole lump.

3 Lest I strip her naked
And expose her, as in the day she was born,
And make her like a wilderness,
And set her like a dry land,
And slay her with thirst.

Why do you think Christianity is losing members? They have been stripped naked. We have seen the lies, the hypocrisy and the sins of many of the Christian leaders and priests. They have also become a dry land. If you go to half of these Christian churches do you come away feeling refreshed and invigorated for the week to come? Over the last couple of years many crazy things have been happening and many people may have gone to church to hear their insight. Yet half the churches will not talk about these things, they have a mandate to not talk about the rapture, not talk about prophecies, not talk about the end times. So like the wise men from the east that came at the time of Jesus and went to Jerusalem these seekers realize these churches have nothing and so they leave and are even warned to not go back with a testimony of how they found Jesus.

4 “I will not have mercy on her children,
For they are the children of harlotry.
5 For their mother has played the harlot;
She who conceived them has behaved shamefully.
For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
Who give me my bread and my water,
My wool and my linen,
My oil and my drink.’

Again, we have to distinguish between the brothers, the sisters, the mother and her children. The Catholic church and the Protestant denominations are like a mother and her children. They all play the harlot. Why is it that the Catholic church controls some of the biggest banks in the world? Why are there denominations with a "billion dollar trust fund"? Prior to the pandemic you might think this is some looney tunes conspiracy theory. However, what happened during the pandemic? How is it that the churches, representing over 50% of America went along with a shutdown without a peep? Granted there were a few pastors and churches who did make a peep, but they did not represent the 50% of America, they were not in these big denominations. Yes, they made the claim that they were concerned about the health and welfare of society, and that is probably true of many useful idiots. But there were certainly enough educated biologists, virologists and doctors in the US to warn that this strategy was counter productive and negative. There were experts at the time who were arguing the shut down should be limited to those who are most vulnerable. If you let everyone else continue to go to school and work we will get to herd immunity quickest. They were censored. This is a standard understanding of how a virus is transmitted, it is "survival of the fittest" at its most basic core. Create an environment where the least virulent strains will be "fittest" and you will eliminate the virus the quickest. All you needed was thermometers at the door to make sure no one entered the building with a fever. The leaders of these churches are supposed to be shepherds of the sheep. Even if they themselves are not well educated on this they certainly have members of the church who are and who they could consult. Instead of guarding the sheep from the wolves they collaborated with the wolves.

6 “Therefore, behold,
I will hedge up your way with thorns,
And wall her in,
So that she cannot find her paths.
7 She will chase her lovers,
But not overtake them;
Yes, she will seek them, but not find them.

We are seeing all kinds of thorny laws being passed which are hedging in these churches. If they don't comply they will be sued. If they do comply it will drive out every real believer they have. The church is supposed to take the narrow way that leads to life, instead they took the broad way which has led them to a briar patch and now they are surrounded by thorns. They thought that if they are good to the world the world will be good to them. The world lies in the evil one, they hate the church, you were played for a fool.

Then she will say,
‘I will go and return to my first husband,
For then it was better for me than now.’
8 For she did not know
That I gave her grain, new wine, and oil,
And multiplied her silver and gold—
Which they prepared for Baal.
9 “Therefore I will return and take away
My grain in its time
And My new wine in its season,
And will take back My wool and My linen,
Given to cover her nakedness.
10 Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,
And no one shall deliver her from My hand.

This is what the tribulation is. There will be famine, poverty, and nakedness. The apostate church will become the most despised people. The basic reason most people went there was they wanted "to just get along". "Let's not make waves". Unbelievers are "offended by gospel preachers" so let's not be so offensive. Stop talking about sin, stop talking about judgement and hell. As a result you stopped being a witness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease,
Her feast days,
Her New Moons,
Her Sabbaths—
All her appointed feasts.

What are the feast days of the apostate church? No doubt Christmas and Easter. I suppose in the US we have other holidays as well, Mother's day, Labor day, Memorial day, July 4th and Thanksgiving. But if we are talking about the apostate church and her "mirth" then we must be talking about Christmas. As one of the songs says "it is the happiest time of the year". It is certainly one of her appointed feasts. Notice, this is not one of God's appointed feasts. There is nothing in the New Testament or Old Testament suggesting that Christmas is an appointed feast of God. This is something that belongs solely to the apostate church. With Easter it comes at the same time as God's appointed feast of Passover and so there is a little overlap and confusion there. But that is not true of Christmas. Also Christmas is the perfect example of how the apostate church "chased her lovers". They claim that this toxic brew of Jesus born in a manger mixed with Santa Claus delivering presents in a sleigh is good for the gospel. The world completely embraces Xmas, the same cannot be said of Thanksgiving. The world hates the idea of "thanksgiving" and wants to call it indigenous people's day, so instead of a day of giving thanks to God it becomes a day of self flagellation for the sins of people committed centuries ago. Now if you destroy all her appointed feasts that tells me no one will be going to the church anymore. It will be deserted. Consider the rapture. Some churches will be raptured in mass. Those would be the ones you would want to go to but now they are all gone. Others will be left behind in mass, why would anyone want to continue to go there? They deceived you, they defrauded you.

12 “And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,
Of which she has said,
‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me.’
So I will make them a forest,
And the beasts of the field shall eat them.

I was a stock broker in NYC and one of the largest funds in the city belonged to one of these denominations. They have trust funds where they may have a billion dollars invested. Being tax exempt and being around for two hundred years and you can grow an investment account.

13 I will punish her
For the days of the Baals to which she burned incense.
She decked herself with her earrings and jewelry,
And went after her lovers;
But Me she forgot,” says the Lord.

Mark 1 The Gospel for the rootless

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Mark is the Cliff notes version of the gospel

2 Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way; 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight;

This is the highway, not some winding road that takes you through every twist and turn. This gospel doesn’t begin with a long list of names of our ancestors, no home movies, this gets straight to the key points.

4 John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins. 5 And there went out unto him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 8 I baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.

Imagine the rapture just took place. You are a Christian but you never really got into all that and you were left behind. All of a sudden you realize this is it! This is the tribulation, the antichrist is here, what do I do? Don’t worry, the Lord will send you two great witnesses. You will know them because they will have a bunch of rings and gold chains, they will drive the best cars, live in mansions, have the biggest TV shows...sorry, just kidding. Actually he looks like something straight out of Mad Max, you can’t just click on his channel you will have to go out to the wilderness, and this guy eats bugs. The message is simple, believe in the Lord, confess your sins, obey the word to be baptized, and follow the Lord.

9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan. 10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him: 11 and a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased. 12 And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

This is the same path all believers have had to take. The Lord is the author and perfecter of our faith. Do not think “oh no, it’s the tribulation!” No, instead focus on “thank God, I have the Spirit of Jesus Christ in me!”

14 Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel.

That’s it! John’s ministry is already done! Yep, this is the cliff notes version, John’s ministry was to bring people to the Lord Jesus, that is it.

16 And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers. 17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 18 And straightway they left the nets, and followed him. 19 And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets. 20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

Believe it or not, this is the gospel to those who are left behind. The Lord will raise up apostles and prophets out of you. Being a sinner and a failure does not disqualify you from receiving the Lord, repenting of your sins, following the Lord, and being raised up to serve Him.

21 And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught. 22 And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

Oh yeah, and going to seminary is not the same thing as being with the Lord. Seminary teaches you to question the faith. Being with Jesus builds you up in the faith.

23 And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24 saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 26 And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 28 And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.

Not only is this a new teaching but it is a lesson you need to learn. If you abandon the faith and the word of God society will become infested with unclean spirits. The word of God has the authority and power to rebuke unclean spirits and to cast them out of society.

29 And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her: 31 and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

Society is making people sick, you can see it on the news, they have a fever. Even the president says the same, the real virus is not Covid19 but rather an unclean spirit that is flying around on the airwaves. The progressives have tried all kinds of ways to fix this and things have only gotten worse. What you need is a good dose of the word of God.

32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons. 33 And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

This is the beginning of the gospel. The sun is setting on society, and the city is filled with those who are sick and demon possessed. What you need is Jesus Christ, the living word of God.

35 And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed. 36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him; 37 and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee. 38 And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth. 39 And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.

You have a mission and you only have a couple of years to complete it.

40 And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41 And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean.

There are people who were rebellious against the Lord, openly, vocally, and their actions have brought death, sickness and destruction on the earth. Still if they repent they can be healed. This is not a ministry of condemnation, even at this late hour with judgement so close, it is still a ministry of reconciliation, forgiveness and cleansing.

42 And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. 43 And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out, 44 and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

This is a fundamental failure of society today. Everyone wants to have a viral video, everyone wants to be on some talk show. Change your mentality, what we really need is to have Jesus Christ the way, the truth and the life. What just happened with this leper being cleansed is that an oak tree was planted and has just sprouted. True it can grow up into a mighty oak, but now that the leper has alerted Satan and his minions do you really think it will survive? Do you really want to jump up and down and say “Hey Satan look at me!” when you are still a sapling? John the Baptist got as far from that realm as he could and even so they arrested him and beheaded him. This is the beginning of the gospel and the most important lesson is that “this is my beloved Son, hear Him”.

Judgement proclaimed on the US to be destroyed by war and invasion.

Jeremiah 12:12 The plunderers have come
On all the desolate heights in the wilderness,
For the sword of the Lord shall devour
From one end of the land to the other end of the land;
No flesh shall have peace.

Judgement has been pronounced hard, fast and swift. The separating is almost complete. Your grace period has expired. Your parole has been revoked.

In a very short time your world enters a tribulation time for your world.

Psalm 98:9 before the Lord,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
With righteousness He shall judge the world,
And the peoples with equity.

Isaiah 1:14 Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates;

This is the word to the rulers of Sodom and Gomorrah. We have had multiple prophecies saying that the US is Sodom and Gomorrah. There are appointed feasts in the US and without a doubt the big one is Christmas. You can insult Thanksgiving and say it is indigenous people's day, you can insult George Washington's birthday, you can insult July 4th, but you better not insult Christmas or you will be called a scrooge, a grinch, and be slandered repeatedly.

Your solemn Feasts

Malachi 2:1 “And now, O priests, this commandment is for you.
2 If you will not hear,
And if you will not take it to heart,
To give glory to My name,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“I will send a curse upon you,
And I will curse your blessings.
Yes, I have cursed them already,
Because you do not take it to heart.
3 “Behold, I will rebuke your descendants
And spread refuse on your faces,
The refuse of your solemn feasts;
And one will take you away with it.

This is a curse on the priests who will not hear the word of the prophets and will not take it to heart.

Verse 3 -- "rebuke your descendants" has the meaning of corrupt your seed.

The word for refuse is dung. So the animals that were sacrificed at these feasts were not acceptable to God and so by spreading the dung on their faces He expresses the utmost disgust with them and shame to them.

To take them away with the dung indicates that God will treat these priests like He would a pile of dung. As you have done it will be done unto you. These priests have treated God's word and His prophets as dung so it is righteous that they should be treated as they have treated Him.

The apostate church has several solemn feasts, but to my observation Christmas is the main one. These churches will sacrifice a great deal for this feast with their Christmas play, children's play, the decorations, and their candlelight service.

Establishing a festival for gift giving

Psalm 68:18 You have ascended on high, You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts among men, Even from the rebellious, That the Lord God might dwell there.

This verse is quoted by Paul in Ephesians.

Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.”

The picture is this, Jesus was incarnated as the babe of Bethlehem, He went to war with Satan, the flesh, sin, and even death. He conquered and then when He ascended to the Heavens He led all those who had been taken captive by Satan, He led "captivity" captive. In those ancient days when the conquering general returns from war with a long string of captives and all the loot they present this to the ruler of the country as a gift. Jesus presented all those He was leading as a gift to God the Father who then, through the Holy Spirit distributed these gifts to the Body of Christ on earth. We see 3,000 saved and 5,000 saved and we see the church age begin. The cycle repeats. The Body of Christ is built up by all the joints and bands of supply, the gifts to the Body, and the Body of Christ which is the church goes to war with Satan, the flesh, sin, and even death. Then, when they conquer they ascend to heaven in the rapture. But not everyone is taken, most are left behind. However, according to this cycle you will have a long train of captivity being led captive and they will be presented as a gift to God and He will distribute these gifts through the Holy Spirit to men. We then hear that during the tribulation there will be great revivals, greater than anything in human history. These will be the greater works that Jesus said we would do. Then after three and a half years these ones also are either martyred or raptured. There is a beautiful symmetry, 2,000 years from Abraham to Jesus, 2,000 years, a three and a half year ministry of Jesus, from Jesus to this first rapture is 2,000 years and then that is followed by another 3 1/2 year ministry.

He will come in like manner as you saw Him go

Acts 1:11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

This is what we are told in Acts, we are witnessing a cycle that will repeat. Now we celebrate births with gift giving, but there is only one day of the year where the entire Christian community celebrates by gift giving.

In the evening we celebrate the birth of Jesus, then in the morning we celebrate gifts that have appeared in the night.

Now there are two different groups of people and two different celebrations of this same event. There is really nothing else like that. You have people in the world, unbelievers, who will go out to a Christmas party, drink, behave in their flesh at night, and then in the morning also celebrate with gifts. You do not see this with any other holy day in any other religion that the believers have their celebration and the unbelievers have a mirror image of that celebration like the photographic negative. However, the bible talks about this referring to the "antichrist" which means a counterfeit Christ. The word literally means "instead of Christ". That is precisely what the world is doing in their celebration of Christmas. Santa is instead of Christ.

We are also told that the rapture of the saints is when the restrainer steps aside and at the same time that takes place the antichrist is revealed.

A Holiday that has both the birth of the manchild and the revelation of the Antichrist

2Thessalonians 2:6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed

Now suppose you are in the apostasy. You believe in Jesus but you have been carried away with the materialism and you are left behind at the rapture. You will wake up in the morning and instead of the hope of glory you will have some packages under your Babylonian tree. How are you going to feel? Cheated?

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit

You were taken captive by the devil to do his will.

2Timothy 2:24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, 25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26 and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.

So what is revealed on this day is who was taken captive. But once again, just as in the ascension of the Lord, the gifts are poured out, and Jesus will lead captivity captive during the tribulation.

We have had many dreams and prophecies that as the saints go up in the rapture the bombs come down on the US.
So when would be the best time for a surprise attack like Pearl Harbor? Pearl Harbor took place Sunday morning. It was picked because they knew from their spies that they would have the most ships in the harbor that weekend, and Sunday morning would be when most people were off duty. They wanted the sun to be up so the airplanes could see the targets.

So it seems to me the best time for a surprise attack would be very early Sunday morning December 25. People go to parties until midnight, come home and crash. That would probably be one of the best times of the year for a surprise attack.

The word of God is clear, the resurrection and rapture, occur at His coming.


For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
