Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

Prophecy is not a magic trick

Matthew 13:14 And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:

How about you, when they mandated the vaccine did you understand, did you perceive?

2Peter 1:19 And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:

The world is a dark place.

Imagine you are driving from NY to California. You decide you are going to take 70 west. As you are driving you will see many signs, but none of them are saying "California". In fact coming out of NY it is all confusing with a whole bunch of signs until you get to Pittsburgh, and there you pick up 70. Then you go through Columbus, and then Indianapolis, and then St. Louis, etc. My point is that every time you see a sign you could then look at your map to make sure you are heading in the right direction and to get an idea of how far away you are. The Bible is our map. The map doesn't say at 5pm on tuesday look to your right and you will see a McDonald's near St. Louis. However, the map does tell you that St. Louis is halfway to California. People are looking for prophecy to tell them that tomorrow morning the headline in the newspaper will be such and such. No doubt God could do that. But what I am using prophecy to do is to tell me where I am at on the map. So yes, I look at the headlines of today's paper and then look on my map to see where I am.

Revelation 19:10 for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

The spirit of prophecy is not a magic trick, it isn't the mentalist game of reading your mind. Instead it is the testimony of Jesus. Where we are heading is to stand before Jesus, that is our destination. Every word of Prophecy is designed to help us to stand.

Future Prophecies of America 03/01/2023

https://rumble.com/v2bcc8e-future-prophecies-of-america-03012023.html

1. Mass Exodus

2. Land from the North will attack and missiles will not miss. (Missiles coming from Russia or from a submarine in the Arctic ocean would be from the north).

3. Cities will be burned, cattle killed and the US destroyed in one hour.

Ezekiel 33 tells us that if you listen to the warnings of the prophet you will deliver your soul, if not you will die by the sword. It also says that if you know this is coming and do not speak a warning you will be held accountable for those who die.

One of the major prophecies in both Revelation and Jeremiah is to "come out of her" and to flee Babylon and to be aggressive at leaving like a "he goat".

Does this mean to leave the USA? Perhaps. No doubt it means to leave the influence. Don't partake of her sins. The problem with leaving the US right now is that I think you have to get a vaccine if you want to fly. So if you were to drive you have two options, Canada or Mexico. But there is a different possible interpretation and that is that Babylon refers to the cities. NYC, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Washington DC, Houston, etc. You don't want to be within a hundred miles of any of those coastal cities. That doesn't mean that things will be fine in rural America. The country will be invaded and those that resist will be killed.

So the way I understand this: if you are in the US you do not want to be in any of the major coastal cities, or in Chicago, or really in any major city in the US. Yesterday we saw a video of some guy executing a homeless man on the streets of St. Louis, if you think that is bad now, it will be far worse after this attack. However, if you are in rural America it will be very humbling to have to serve the Chinese, Russians and UN. So, going to Belize, or some other country could be better than that.

Think of Lot, the US is Sodom and Gomorrah, he fled to the hills. However you cut it the tribulation is going to be the tribulation. If you die as a believer then that is not so bad, but you want to survive so you can have a strong witness during the tribulation and being beheaded for your testimony, that is a better option.

Ezekiel 7:7-11 "Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed".

7 Doom has come upon you, upon you who dwell in the land. The time has come! The day is near! There is panic, not joy, on the mountains.

The mountains refer to the elites. There is panic right now for the elites. When you have a complete collapse in the economy and world order it is always the elites whose heads get put on a spike. Why are they so desperate to start a race war between whites and everyone else? Whites make up 50% of the US, if 49% of the US is fighting with the other 49% then the 2% might be able to escape notice. But now we can see it, this is so obvious even Charles Barkley pointed it out. They are so desperate they want to convince you that a cop who saved a girl from being stabbed to death only days after another girl was stabbed to death was somehow wrong for shooting the girl with the knife. What is wokeism, it demonstrates the panic among the mountains, among the multinational corporations, among MLB, among athletes, among pundits, they are all being cancelled. The evidence about the mishandling of the pandemic is out and they are even releasing evidence that the vaccine was deadly. The world is like a house on fire.

8 I am about to pour out my wrath on you and spend my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices.

Wokeism is a detestable practice. They pontificate about how you have to listen to and believe every woman, ignoring the Bible’s requirement of having at least two witnesses before bringing a charge against an elder. With Kavanaugh one woman from twenty years previously without any specifics or details that can be verified, but with Cuomo or Biden they have 3, 7, even 10 witnesses and they ignore it. It is virtue signalling and it is hypocrisy. These pedophile rings and human trafficking rings are detestable. CRT is detestable. Groomers in public school are detestable.

9 I will not look on you with pity; I will not spare you. I will repay you for your conduct and for the detestable practices among you. “‘Then you will know that it is I the Lord who strikes you.

What is the point of having these public confessions of being guilty because you are white? You want people to take pity on you? It is pathetic, like Megan Markle giving us a sob story even though she lives in a mansion, is a royal, and had the most magnificent wedding anyone could ever imagine. Still she is “oppressed”. Do you honestly think the Lord or anyone else is going to look on her with pity?

10 “‘See, the day! See, it comes! Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed!

Wow, one wonderful expression after another! It is like a combination thrown by a prizefighter. “Doom has burst forth!” It sounds like a dam has burst. I can see that the audit in Maricopa county could be such an event, even in my most cynical moment I would not have suggested that Katie Hobbs was laundering money for a Cartel who was also helping her steal the election. I can see that the EverGreen ship could have been such an event, perhaps from testimony given by Ghislain Maxwell, just this month we have had hundreds of pedophiles arrested. I have heard that her testimony is thousands and thousands of pages at this point. I could also see W.H.O. forcing Americans to pay for abortions around the world could be the issue that we have a civil war over. Doom has burst forth in Afghanistan after we armed the Taliban with billions of dollars of state of the art weapons. All of these events could be the “doom has burst forth” but what really comes to mind is the 3 Gorges dam. If that dam bursts then it will truly be doom to the world. The Yangtze river basin represents the biggest manufacturing economy in the world. It would be wiped out. The electricity from the Dam generates the digital currency the world is trying to switch to, that also would be destroyed. Such an event would be so devastating to China it is hard to predict how they would react. But “doom has burst forth” is probably the best way to describe what will happen. Then “the rod has budded”! Wow! This is a reference to Aaron’s budding rod, it shows which of the 12 tribes God chose, it was a type of the outstanding resurrection. The first rapture will be such a resurrection, it will be “the rod has budded”. “Arrogance has blossomed”. Isn’t that true, can’t you see that? If you can’t see that arrogance has blossomed among Biden’s administration, among the mainstream media and among the tech giants then your eyes are closed. We have news anchors saying it is no longer necessary to be fair and balanced in their assessment of the news. Tech giants are censoring people at their whim, even the President of the United States. Biden is ruling by fiat, signing executive orders without any regard to the law, to the will of the people, or to the constitution. Arrogance has blossomed.

11 Violence has arisen, a rod to punish the wicked. None of the people will be left, none of that crowd—none of their wealth, nothing of value.

Very true. Black Lives Matter has had close to 600 violent riots in the last twelve months. They justify looting, rioting, and even when they get what they want as they did with Chauvin trial they are still calling to “burn it all down”. Yesterday I saw a video of a man in St. Louis being executed on the street. The video showed a man load his gun, hold it to the man's head and then kill him, all in broad daylight. All of these things are a warning of what is about to happen. We have also seen Russia has arisen, invading Ukraine. Then a news report has it that Russia tested their Zircon nuclear missiles off the island of Bermuda, about 5 minutes from Washington DC. They jammed our radar, cellular phones and internet for 34 seconds. Ukraine is said to be the center of the human trafficking rings and moloch worship. Is that the reason the US government is so desperate to help Ukraine and has pledged or given a total of $200 billion? The wicked are about to be punished.

John 11:1-4 This is not unto death but that the Son of God may be glorified thereby

The story of Lazarus depicts the rapture from a different perspective than Matthew, Mark or Luke.

1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

A lot of ideas as to the meaning of Bethany. House of obedience, house of affliction, house of sheep? However if we read this chapter we can see that Bethany is a picture of the church. They are praying, they are worshipping, they are serving, and they are a testimony of the Lord who is the resurrection. They are all brothers and sisters.

2 And it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

They are also deplorables. If you remember the story the pharisee is taken aback that Jesus doesn’t know what manner of woman this is that is touching his feet. She was forgiven, she poured out the costly ointment on the Lord, and that ointment depicted something a bride would give to her betrothed. So we also see they depict the redeemed of the Lord, the bride of Christ. But we see this from a different perspective, we see that they have paid the price, they have poured themselves out on the Lord.

3 The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

This is an interesting prayer. If you are praying for someone who is sick do you pray “Lord this is he whom you love”? But here we see the true “prosperity gospel”. They poured out the costly ointment on the Lord, they have a relationship with the Lord, just like James says, when they pray the Lord hears.

4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.

Why was this man born blind? So that the works of God may be made manifest. Why did Lazarus get sick and die? So that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. At the end of the age we should look at everything that is going on and realize this is so that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. Why is our government corrupt, so corrupt that there is no way for us to deal with it? This is not unto death but so that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.

We need a different perspective. The things that happen to us are an opportunity to allow the Christ within us to be manifested. This is the hope of glory, Christ in me.

Will the RAPTURE and Resurrection occur when the Man Child is caught up by the Sun?

COME to the 1,335 Days - March 23

Lazarus -- Where are you?

When we read the gospel of John the triumphant entry into Jerusalem is preceded by Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. This is a powerful event that causes the whole world to go after the Lord and certainly explains this triumphant entry. However, it is not mentioned in any of the other gospels! To my opinion this is one of those things that proves the Bible is not written by man. It is hard to imagine any human writer of any of the synoptic gospels leaving this story out. The way I look at it this story proves beyond any doubt that the gospels are presenting four different views of Jesus. John presents Jesus as the incarnated God and as such He raised up man that had died and been dead for four days (the four thousand years prior to Jesus incarnation). The only way I can visualize this that makes sense is that we are looking at a mountain, the top of this mountain is the crucifixion, and there are four different trails that lead to the top. So raising Lazarus from death to life is what Jesus ministry did in the gospel of John. Hence the triumphal entry. In the three synoptic gospels the key event prior to the crucifixion for all is the transfiguration of Jesus on the mount. The synoptic gospels all have this key revelation as a pivotal moment and yet it is absent from John's gospel. For us to know Jesus as a man, as a servant as a king we must have this pivotal experience of seeing Him transfigured. We need to see the law and the prophets in this light. For us to see Jesus as the incarnated God the pivotal moment is seeing him raise Lazarus from the dead.

John 11:9b-16 If a man walk in the day he stumbleth not

The 17th of Elul is the day that Germany passed the Nuremberg laws in 1935. "In 1935, Nazi Germany passed the Nuremberg laws, a set of racist policies directed primarily against Jews. The Nazis blamed the Jews for poverty, unemployment, and the loss of World War I. Jews were banned from any professional jobs and Jewish stores were boycotted. Anyone with even one Jewish grandparent was stripped of German citizenship, with no basic rights. Within 10 years, the Nazi genocidal machine had swept through eastern Europe, leaving 6 million Jews murdered." This represented one third of all Jews on earth, just as Lazarus was one third of the little family Martha, Mary and Lazarus. No doubt the Jews were pleading with God to come and deliver them during the Holocaust, that was when Lazarus was "sick". But He delayed His coming and as a result they died. However, this was for the glory of God. You would look at the Jews and wonder "can these dry bones live?" just like in Ezekiel. Yet the word went forth "Lazarus come forth", the UN proclaimed that the Jews could return to Israel and this fulfilled many prophecies. This event has prepared the way for Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem, but for those in darkness it has caused them to stumble: "how could God allow this?"

With this as the context let's consider what the Lord said:

John 11:9b-14 If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.

This event marked the final generation of this age, the "terminal generation". At this time we see the polarization or separation between light and dark.

11 These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

For many believers they will be wakened by all the events involved in Jesus 2nd coming.

12 The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover. 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

The rapture will wake both the living and the dead. The Lord is coming to "awake Lazarus out of sleep". Why the play on words? We are told repeatedly that we need to wake up and watch. At the Lord's second coming the dead in Christ will rise first, but also the church will need to wake up. The Lord's coming we need to wake up, and He will rapture us who are alive and remain as well as those who have died. This raising of Lazarus from the dead acts to wake up the sleeping church.

15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

This verse reminds me of what Paul said in Philippians where he said that the things which happened to him worked out for salvation for our sakes. The rapture of the saints will be a tremendous help for any Christians who are left behind to believe. Think of what that will do for all those believers on the earth who are not raptured, it should help them to believe. So we need to view the coming events in this light. For some people on earth the tribulation will be like the holocaust, but you have seen Jesus conquer death repeatedly, so stay strong and believe. The rapture prior to the

16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

People disparage Thomas but he gives us a great sense of what is happening at this time. The key takeaway for everyone, whether pre tribulation rapture, or tribulation saints or the Jews is that you must go with Jesus to Jerusalem to die with Jesus. What we are seeing today does not make sense to most people. You have an experimental vaccine, there are some risks with it, OK, but people can make informed decisions and in many cases it could be the best option for them. But the government doesn't allow informed decisions, it censors all debate, is opaque with the data and ignores all protocols for approving a vaccine. On top of all that they are mandating the vaccine, something that is extremely unusual, even though the risks from this vaccine are much worse than other vaccines that were cancelled because they are too risky. People are getting fired, fined, and prevented from buying anything if they are unvaccinated. Now if this was happening in China or Russia or Iran we could chalk it up to totalitarian dictators run amok. But this is happening worldwide, Australia, France, the US, Canada. The urgency is incredible. This has caused many people to severely question and doubt the government. We have caught them in numerous lies and falsehoods. What is going on? Some Christians see this as the "Mark of the Beast" even though it is quite clear that regardless of how similar it may be it is not "The Mark of the Beast", at least not yet. The antichrist has not been revealed, we don't have one world government and no one is required to worship the beast in order to get the mark. Also, technically it isn't a mark. So how do you explain the entire world going crazy?

They know the only thing that can keep society sliding into anarchy and a barter system is if they impose this Covid19 vaccine. Covid stands for Certificate of Vaccine ID, 19 stands for the letters A. I. It is a computer system for keeping track of every person. With this they can impose a digital currency and prevent any bartering.

In Luke Jesus triumphant entry into Jerusalem is preceded by healing ten lepers. In the Bible leprosy signifies rebellion. If Luke is the gospel to those who are raptured prior to the tribulation it could refer to Joshua and Caleb. Joshua signifying Jesus and Caleb signifying a dog, the deplorable saints. This event will cause the rest of the church which is scoffing and mocking and ridiculing the watchmen to be healed from their rebellion.

2020 Was Important Part 2 Midweek Bible Study 3/1/23

Two Blind men -- Have mercy on us Son of David

Matthew 20:29 And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David. 31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David. 32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you? 33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 34 And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and straightway they received their sight, and followed him.

In Luke ten lepers are healed before Jesus enters triumphantly into Jerusalem. In Matthew 2 blind men are healed right before Jesus enters triumphantly into Jerusalem.

Halfway through the tribulation the Bible says that the Jews will look on Him whom they pierced. Their eyes will be opened. For the last two thousand years they have been blind, so again this event is what we see that would indicate the rapture of the tribulation saints. We know this refers to the Jews because when a gentile woman called Him the Son of David He said that that title was only for the Jews.

John 11:17-28 Jesus is here and is calling us

17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

This verse reminds me of the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy lands in Oz, her house falls on the wicked witch, and they need the coroner to certify that the witch is “really, really dead”. If you had been dead for 4 minutes then maybe you weren’t really dead, if you were dead for four hours then maybe you weren’t really, really dead. But dead and buried for four days? He is really, really dead. The Jews hadn't simply been in the diaspora for two thousand years, they had also gone through the Holocaust for four years. Yes, they were really, really dead.

18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off; 19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

This is the situation today. The church in the USA is the closest neighbor to Jerusalem in Israel. Trump was virtually the only one in the world willing to recognize Jerusalem. If you look solely at the actions then the administration of Obama and now Biden is very much not “nigh unto Jerusalem” but rather much friendlier to Iran, Afghanistan and anyone wishing to do harm to Israel. Trump’s “loss” in 2020 was just as much a loss to Israel as it was to the deplorables. Martha and Mary represent the deplorables, two women who are seemingly powerless other than the fact that Jesus loves them and will answer their prayers. Mary is the same one who put oil on Jesus feet and wiped them with her hair and the response was "do you know what type of person this is"?

20 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.

Great picture here of today. I went to many of these Stop the Steal rallies and prayer meetings in Washington DC, Atlanta and Harrisberg. They were filled with Christians, but they were “Martha”, those who are running around and doing things. Meanwhile there are still those Christians who are worshipping the Lord in the church meetings oblivious to what is going on with these others at the rallies.

21 Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22 And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.

Our relationship to Jesus is one where we can talk to Him but at the same time we never forget that He is Lord. Martha is walking close to the line here, “where were you Jesus?” almost blaming the Lord for her brother’s death. But she immediately catches herself and is “you can do all things”. This is not the prayer of a “great spiritual giant” who has had a chance to rewrite his own biography. Nope, this is the truth. This is what it really was like. No one understood how this was all going to play out and if they say they did they are not being honest. People saw Trump as Jehu, that was true. People saw Clinton as Jezebel, also true. But did anyone know on January 6th that we would be here in February of 2023? No. Over the last two years I have heard people becoming depressed that nothing is happening, and that Lazarus death is a foregone conclusion. On the other hand the situation has continued to grow like the belly of a pregnant woman.

23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

I also saw this. Some of us spoke faith -- trust in the Lord, He is the God of resurrection, this is of the Lord, the battle is the Lord’s. Every time we said this we got an amen from everyone else. Kind of like the father of the epileptic boy “I believe, Lord help my unbelief”.

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live; 26 and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, even he that cometh into the world.

This is funny because it is true. When confronted she falls back on the foundation, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, He is Lord, He is my savior. But what about in this situation, today? Do you believe that Jesus Christ who conquered death two thousand years ago is going to do that again today, in your life? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the hope of glory in you? I love what Mike Lindell has said repeatedly, he thanks the Lord for the election fraud because he sees that this is an opportunity for the Lord to be glorified.

28 And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here, and calleth thee.

This is wonderful. When you are in this battle you realize it takes the whole body, you need help. I listen to Steve Bannon who gives three hours of news everyday. He was on the forefront of this battle and was bringing in various people every day to testify what they were doing. It is like hearing different commanders from different theaters in the war give a report. It soon became apparent that the battle was being waged by Christians, by believers and then it became apparent it would not be good enough if we only had Martha (the serving ones) we also need Mary (the worshipping ones). The saints who are praying and worshipping the Lord are like the air support that we need. Soon Bannon was opening his newscast with rabbis and pastors giving a word of prayer. This was a game changer because Christians worship the Lord Jesus and they follow Him, they don’t follow Trump or some other man. We need to see that the Lord Jesus is here and is calling us.

4 New Dreams, Earthquake & Tsunami 03/02/2023

https://rumble.com/v2bgc7w-4-new-dreams-earthquake-and-tsunami-03022023.html

11 prophecies the dollar will fall

15 prophecies of a food shortage and famine

20 prophecies of a meteor, Tsunami and Earthquake

33 prophecies of suitcase nukes in the US

7 prophecies of a surprise Russian attack

Discerning False teachers

I have noticed that this has become a very serious issue for S4C Global ministry, and for Prophecy club, and for DTBM so let me share my own process.

1. If someone suckers me with click bait I cross them off my list.

2. If someone uses their youtube videos as teasers to sell their books I cross them off my list.

I assume that at least 65% of the sites I visit will be crossed off my list.

Anyone who has a genuine ministry will be true to the word "freely you have received, freely give". They might monetize their ministry, but it is certainly not the goal. However, for false prophets it is the goal.

3. If I find someone I trust I subscribe to their channel: Prophecy club, S4C Global Ministry and DTBM are three examples.

4. When you are on a good ministry I will look at the comments to see if they refer anyone else. This is how I found Ken Potter and God a Minute. These brothers will bring other ministries to you as well as a community of like minded saints.

5. 50% of my time is spent in the word of God. So I can only visit so many sites. I don't worry about missing anything because anything important will show up on one of these sites.

Additional points

There are ministries that are all about selling books, so like Oprah they bring people on who are pitching a book. I avoid that. DTBM, S4C, Ken Potter, and God a Minute will all reference books and authors if it is really good and they aren't getting royalties. It is not proof that a ministry is false just because they sell books, but all the false ones are there to make money, so if I see that making money is a cornerstone of a ministry I will cross them off my list.

Therefore I am not impressed by someone who is a "best selling author". I have found that most of those books are useless. I also have a reverse attraction to the numbers of subscribers. If they have a million or more I will be very skeptical of them. On the other hand if they have a hundred I will be much more open to them.

I am also not interested in the quality of the production team but rather the content of the message. The broad way that leads to destruction is wide, it is easy to find, and it is the easiest and most convenient.

If they are controversial, attacked as being a false prophet, and ridiculed then I am much more open to hearing them for myself. Timothy Dixon, Vicki Goforth Parnell, U B Ready, and Dana Coverstone are four examples. The ones I avoid are the ones everyone speaks well of. Again, if everyone speaks well of them, if they have a million subscribers, if their books are best sellers then I don't have to worry. If they bring out any light from the word I will hear about it. But I know that Satan is the accuser of the brethren, so if they have a "powerful ministry" and yet they aren't being accused by Satan that doesn't make sense to me.

I also know that God will shame the things that are with the things that are not. I am not concerned if the person who is speaking the word is not polished, doesn't have a professional editor, makes simple and obvious mistakes and even appears to be poorly educated. However, not all fall into that category, DTBM has a Phd. So, like Paul, the Lord gives us a few scribes.

The rapture is the beginning of signs and miracles

Joshua 3:7 And Jehovah said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.

Joshua leading them into the good land is a type of Jesus leading us into the millenial reign at the end of this age and it begins with the rapture when God magnifies Jesus in the sight of the entire world.

2Samuel 21:9 and he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before Jehovah, and they fell all seven together. And they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.

These seven sons of Saul are a type of the judgement that takes place at the beginning of the tribulation.

Psalm 111:10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do his commandments: His praise endureth for ever.

Not all believers truly fear the Lord, this is why they are foolish. However, the rapture will change all of that in an instant.

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

Not all believers have taken knowing the Lord seriously, but that will all change with the rapture, in the twinkling of an eye.

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

I subscribe to the theory that the gospel of Mark is to the tribulation saints and it begins with the rapture.

Luke 13:23 And one said unto him, Lord, are they few that are saved? And he said unto them, 24 Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are; 26 then shall ye begin to say, We did eat and drink in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets; 27 and he shall say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

They begin to stand without at the time of the rapture. These ones thought that going to church and taking communion would be all that was necessary and the Lord tells them He doesn't know them and that they are workers of iniquity.

Luke 14: 8 When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him, 9 and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.

Think about this, there are many Christians who sit in very prominent seats and think they are really important, but suppose they are not raptured and other saints that they had no regard for are. The wisest thing you can do is to take the humblest position or seat because you can't go down from there, you don't need to worry about being shamed.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.

This is the what and the where that it all begins.

John 2:11 This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

The beginning of signs is a reference to the rapture. This is how you kick off the ministry of the tribulation saints.

Acts 1:22 beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection.

The Baptism of John is where Jesus ministry began, that is when the heavens were opened and a voice from God said "this is my beloved Son". This is a reference to the rapture.

1Peter 4:17 or the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?

The rapture will be the beginning of judgement at the house of God. It kicks off the tribulation, but it should be seen as a warning concerning the judgement that is to come on the rest of the world.

Confused about salvation? Don't be

Let us consider three people.

Our first person is burdened by the Lord to build a hospital to help people. Everything he does is based on God's word to Him, the hospital is a wonderful testimony of Jesus, and when the Lord returns He tells him "well done thou good and faithful servant".

Our second person was also called to build a hospital but decides to do this according to his own opinion. The hospital is a mess, and when the Lord returns it goes up in flames just like Paul said, he built with wood, hay and stubble and it goes up in flames. However, he is still saved, but suffers loss at the Lord's return.

The third person builds a hospital exactly like the first person down to the door knobs. The design is the same, the doctors are the same, the help to the community is the same. But when the Lord comes He tells this one he is a "worker of iniquity" and casts Him into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Seems unfair, right?

Well there is a difference between the first two and the third. The third did not own the land on which he built the hospital.

I think if that were your land that he did that on and then told you to get lost because he is doing an important work, you would be better equipped to understand how he is a worker of iniquity.

This is why the only way you can be saved is if you are bought by the blood of Jesus. Your salvation is not based on how good your ministry is (the hospital) it is based on that piece of paper proving you have been bought by the blood of the Lamb.

RMBC HEBREWCLUB # 184: "The Crowning Accomplishment "

Ezekiel 7:12-27 The time has come! The Day has arrived!

12 The time has come! The day has arrived! Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller grieve, for my wrath is on the whole crowd.

If I buy a house or a car I am going to “rejoice”, it is new, it is exciting, I want to enjoy it. However, if I am taken captive then I cannot rejoice, cannot enjoy it, because I am being taken as a slave. On the other hand if I have to sell my car or my house to pay off my debts I could feel sad about losing it, but no need, since you are being taken as a slave you would have lost it anyway.

13 The seller will not recover the property that was sold—as long as both buyer and seller live. For the vision concerning the whole crowd will not be reversed. Because of their sins, not one of them will preserve their life.

There is no jubilee year for them to hope in. The Lord’s second coming is a jubilee, it is when our inheritance is restored to us. But that is for those who trusted in the Lord. Noah’s flood was a jubilee year for Noah, after the flood he basically could inherit the whole earth. But that is only true if you are in the ark, the Lord is talking to those who are not in the ark. They did not accept the gospel of salvation when it was preached to them.

14 “‘They have blown the trumpet, they have made all things ready, but no one will go into battle, for my wrath is on the whole crowd.

The believers are blowing the trumpet, telling people to wake up! The Lord has made all things ready, but none of those who remain after the rapture would respond. Courage is an expression of faith, hope and love. If you have no faith, hope or love then you will be a coward and afraid to go into battle. You trust that as long as you are with the majority, with the crowd, then you will be ok. You are not walking by faith, you are walking by sight.

15 Outside is the sword; inside are plague and famine. Those in the country will die by the sword; those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague.

It used to be we would see what was going on in some other part of the world and think how terrible it was. Now we see it happening in our country. Our border is thrown open and people are pouring in. Whether they are with the cartel or are just desperate for a better life the reality is to get here they had to survive the sword and no doubt they will use the sword to continue to survive. As for the plague we like to think that after a year it is fading. I don’t think so, I think we have new deadly strains, worse than the first strain. There will be no way to contain it in the cities. They are calling it "died suddenly" and the insurance companies are saying deaths are up 40%. So stay in the city and the plague and famine get you, go to the country and marauding gangs with guns and machetes get you.

16 The fugitives who escape will flee to the mountains. Like doves of the valleys, they will all moan, each for their own sins.

This reminds me of Lot escaping Sodom for the mountains. The US is clearly and unequivocally becoming Sodom and Gomorrah. By executive order everyone in the US must submit to the laws of Sodom and Gomorrah, so then they will suffere the judgement of Sodom and Gomorrah as well.

17 Every hand will go limp; every leg will be wet with urine. 18 They will put on sackcloth and be clothed with terror. Every face will be covered with shame, and every head will be shaved.

Can you imagine the shame if you were a Christian and you had gotten involved with the apostasy, mocked and ridiculed Christians who were warning about the Lord’s coming and it was time to wake up, and you are left behind? What if you were a bishop or cardinal, or some other self important religious person? Your face will be covered with shame.

19 “‘They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s wrath. It will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs, for it has caused them to stumble into sin.

Say goodbye to the US dollar. Surely you can see that. I read that the debt per taxpayer is now $800,000. I know that 80% of Americans would have no hope in paying that off, which means the US is bankrupt. All those countries buying our bonds know this. All they have to do is dump them on the market resulting in interest rates to spike to push us over the edge.

20 They took pride in their beautiful jewelry and used it to make their detestable idols. They made it into vile images; therefore I will make it a thing unclean for them. 21 I will give their wealth as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked of the earth, who will defile it. 22 I will turn my face away from the people, and robbers will desecrate the place I treasure. They will enter it and will defile it.

People are so foolish. If you do not fear the Lord you are a fool. Disrespect Him and He will totally and completely destroy you in every way imaginable. Disrespect His people, His bride, and be prepared for the fire of hell.

23 “‘Prepare chains! For the land is full of bloodshed, and the city is full of violence. 24 I will bring the most wicked of nations to take possession of their houses.

Today the most wicked of nations is China, Russia, Afghanistan, Iran, etc.

I will put an end to the pride of the mighty, and their sanctuaries will be desecrated.

Say goodbye to these Denominational churches where the elites go. The Lord will put an end to the pride of the US.

25 When terror comes, they will seek peace in vain. 26 Calamity upon calamity will come, and rumor upon rumor.

This is what wokeism is all about, rumor upon rumor. Find something that someone said ten years ago and bring terror on them for it. Social media is a platform for spreading rumor upon rumor. The two impeachments, the Steel dossier, these were all based on rumors that were false. So, as you have done it will be done to you. With what judgement you judge you shall be judged.

They will go searching for a vision from the prophet, priestly instruction in the law will cease, the counsel of the elders will come to an end.

Now that is funny. The people with a vision and with priestly instruction and with counsel from our elders, these are the ones who are being held in derision. Once they are taken away people will seek for them. They didn’t appreciate what they had until it was gone.

27 The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and by their own standards I will judge them. “‘Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”

By their own standard! What standard is that? You only need one woman to accuse Kavanaugh or ten women are not enough to accuse Cuomo? Trump is guilty of nepotism even though his kids are not profiting while he is president yet Biden’s kid is getting tens of millions of dollars because Biden is vice president and now president. Biden passes stringent laws concerning guns that apply to everyone but his son. Chauvin is “guilty, guilty, guilty” on three counts that everyone thought were mutually exclusive while OJ is innocent? What kind of sliding, slippery standard is this?

Are you blind?

People are looking at the news and wondering what is going on, looking for signs that this is the end of the age.

1. If you have Famine and Plague in the city and war without then you know that God's wrath is here.

2. When you see everyone in your government covered in shame, the President laughing when talking about a mother who lost two children to Fentanyl, the head of the FBI refusing to answer a direct question about why he allowed illegal protests against 6 Supreme court justices, evidence that everyone lied about the Pandemic, where it came from and about the vaccine being safe and effective, and when you see that Fauci paid whistleblowers to change their tune. Then you know that God's wrath is here.

3. When you see them trashing the US dollar, then you know that God's wrath is here.

4. When you see the Grammies and the Superbowl and the Olympics playing out detestable worship to Satanic idols then you know God's wrath is here.

5. When the land is full of bloodshed and the cities are full of violence then you know God's wrath is here.

6. When everyday you are wondering what the next calamity is going to be. Toxic mushroom cloud in Ohio, head on train crash in Greece, Argentina is in a nationwide blackout, then you know God's wrath is here.

7. When you hear rumor upon rumor of imminent nuclear war you know that God's wrath is here.

8. When God says He will judge you according to your own standards and that makes your hands go limp and your legs to be wet with urine, then you know God's wrath is here.

The Triune God

Any analogy will fall short. If you live in a two dimensional world like "Flat Stanley" it would be very difficult to describe a three dimensional being.

However, this is an analogy to describe how something can be three distinct and separate things while also being one entity.

My computer is a separate entity from the Server that houses this ChristianCham.com and both of these things are separate from the electricity that travels between the two.

However, all three are one.

Now imagine you are Flat Stanley and God is a three dimensional being in the shape of a pyramid. When the point of that pyramid touches my world I see one God. But then as that Pyramid passes lower I will see a triangle with three distinct points and again I am told that the Father, Son and Spirit are one. In my two dimensional view they look like three, but in reality it is one three dimensional pyramid. This type of triangular pyramid is known as a tetrahedron.

By the way Jasper and five other of the precious stones in the New Jerusalem all have tetrahedron crystal structures.
