Instead of trying to figure out when the rapture is, another option is to figure out when the 70th week begins, the last seven years for Israel. It refers to a seven year period known as a Shemitah. I would think that this seven year period would begin on the first day of the year. For Israel there are two possibilities: Nisan 1 and Tishrei 1. My feeling is that it will be Tishrei 1 because the Feast of Trumpets announces the coming of the king, and because when the seven years are over we will have the day of atonement followed by the fulfillment of tabernacles.
Therefore I am looking for a big UN meeting at the feast of Trumpets to confirm the covenant with the many for seven years. Like this Agenda 2030 meeting this September during the Feast of Trumpets and coinciding with the international day of peace.

Yes, pure speculation "tries to guess and calculate" the date, while ignoring
Plain Scripture:
1Th 4:17 "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:..."
Paul expected it imminently ( at any moment ) in his day, and we
should do the same, in our day, Yes?
Amen.

Amen.
Luke 19:44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
Jesus rebuked the jews for not knowing the day of their visitation because Daniel had prophesied that the Messiah would be cut off that year. That is the 69th week. Therefore, it seems logical that they would also be held accountable if they don't know when the 70th week begins.
It is not speculation. We know when Israel, the Fig tree, was planted in the good land again (May 1948), we know when Israel began to sprout leaves (Knesset first met in January 1949 and the constitution was confirmed in 1950), we also know based on the laws of Moses how long Israel would be punished. The rebuke is for not knowing what the covenant says.

Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees
Matthew 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
The teaching that no one will know the day or the hour of the rapture is leaven of the pharisees and sadducees.
1. They use this verse about no one knowing the day or the hour to tell people that you can't know, so don't watch and don't talk about it. On the contrary every single time the Lord uses this the purpose is to say that you must watch. The farmer does not know the exact day that he should harvest therefore he must watch, you don't know when a thief will come so you must have a watchman, you don't know when a baby will be born so you must watch.
2. The New Testament never said we will not know the day, it said that we didn't know the day. That is very different. Because there are many other verses that indicate some will know the day. Just because 2,000 years ago no one knew the day does not mean that can't change. For example:
Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
This is a warning to the church in Sardis, a warning to believers. Not knowing when the Lord is coming is a judgement on the careless believers who have not repented.
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
The Bible is filled with prophesies that let us know that our redemption is drawing near. When you see those you are supposed to look up. They are supposed to alert you to the Lord's return.
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Anna and Simeon knew prior to the lord's birth that they would see the lord. That is an example to us that the lord will reveal his secret to his servants, the prophets. Methuselah was a prophecy that when he dies the end will come. He died 7 days before the flood and Noah entered the ark at that time. lot was told to flee the city before Sodom was destroyed. Abraham also learned that God was about to destroy Sodom. The lord describes his coming as the days of Noah and the days of Lot. That indicates that He will send us angels to warn us and there will be prophesies that are fulfilled indicating the Lord is coming.
Luke 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
Matthew 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Thirty Lessons on how to overcome the accuser of the brethren
Saying 1
17 Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach, 18 for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips. 19 So that your trust may be in the Lord, I teach you today, even you. 20 Have I not written thirty sayings for you, sayings of counsel and knowledge, 21 teaching you to be honest and to speak the truth, so that you bring back truthful reports to those you serve?
Think of this as the Black Belt coaching for people to battle Satan. The first lesson is always about balance. They try to get you off balance, say something that is not honest and then they will jump on that. When cops question a suspect they can lie with impunity, but if the suspect says one lie they will jump on that. No one cares that those in authority lied. So rule #1 speak the truth. Jesus Christ is the truth. The only way to stay balanced is to speak Jesus Christ.
Saying 2
22 Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court, 23 for the Lord will take up their case and will exact life for life.
You crush things that are much smaller than you. You can crush an ant. Remember, compared to the Lord you are the ant. Treat others the way you want to be treated. I don’t want to be crushed by the Lord so therefore I do not crush others. This is the golden rule of the Lord’s judgement (the corollary to the golden rule).
Saying 3
24 Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily angered, 25 or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared.
These first rules are all defensive. Speak truth, remember you are the ant, fear the Lord and watch out for snares and traps. Most Christians who wish to be in spiritual warfare are not serious about that, they don’t think that the enemy is trying to lay a trap for them. Instead of speaking Jesus they retreat and say nothing. The best defense is a good offense. If the enemy tries to sift you it will be in court, He is the accuser of the brethren. He will try and take some word or action of yours and use it to condemn you. So then, fill the pages with words about Jesus. The minute He quotes you in court He opens the door for you to use every single word you have spoken, He has made it relevant. Turn his accusation of you into an opportunity to speak the gospel. Second be humble. I love what Michael Jordan said, knowing what he knows now he never would have agreed to the “Be like Mike” campaign. That campaign is not humble. As long as you view yourself as an ant they can’t cut you down to size, you are already as small as they can make you.
Saying 4
26 Do not be one who shakes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts; 27 if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you.
In other words be prudent. If they can’t get you with bad companions they will try using a scam artist. I once talked to a man who was a scam artist, he said he appealed to people’s greed. The way you avoid being taken in a scam is you deal with your greed, your desire to “get rich quick”.
Saying 5
28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors.
Our ancestors gave us the Constitution. The Bill of Rights are our ancient boundary stones. Treat those as sacred. The only way to move them is by a 2/3rd majority in both the House and the Senate. Treat that as gospel. Our ancestors were the 12 apostles, the New Testament is our boundary stone. Do not twist or change that word. Do not say that some of those verses are out of date, this is the twentieth century. No, the proper response is “I am an ant, I may not understand this verse, but who am I to presume to move it”.
Saying 6
29 Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.
Finally, if you are ambitious that is fine, focus that ambition on becoming skilled in your work.

The situation on Earth prior to the rapture
Luke 12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
This is an amazing story. It is only in Luke, a gospel that appears to be to the Bride which is raptured before the tribulation. We are waiting for the Lord's return, but from what wedding? This cannot be His wedding, what groom returns from the wedding and makes dinner for the servants? Also, Jesus' wedding will be in His father's house, He would not be "returning" from His wedding. Second, this must be a very significant wedding. So preceding the rapture of the Bride and the tribulation there will be a wedding. A very significant wedding that precedes the tribulation. I suspect this is like Adonijah having a big feast when he proclaims himself to be king and Lord of all. He was a type of the Antichrist and tried to usurp the throne from Solomon. The Lord is telling us that some believers will be caught up on the rebellion of Adonijah. But those that aren't will be blessed. Some were unable to wait for Solomon to become king, but those that were found waiting will be blessed.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
This word watching is used for a night watchman watching for a thief. It means to give careful attention to, to be awake. It is the aorist form meaning it is a continual process, not once for all. The word indicates you are being cautious and also that you are actively watching.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
I am interested in this verse because it tells us the Lord is at this wedding for the Antichrist right before the rapture. A wedding is a covenant that is made where the woman agrees to her husband being "king". I think this is a reference to Antichrist being crowned king and it is also a reference to the covenant that is confirmed with the many right after the rapture.
King Charles was crowned king in May over England and today he was crowned king in Scotland. His kingdom is over 1/4th of the earth. In my opinion the evidence that he will be the antichrist is overwhelming. The reason I say "he will be" is because there is an indication that the antichrist dies from a head wound and then is resuscitated at which time Satan enters into him. Therefore until that event you can't really be viewed as the "Antichrist". I also, in my opinion, feel the New Testament gives us extensive and precise description of the antichrist so that we could identify him beforehand. We are not ignorant of Satan's devices and we have been given the gift of discernment. The ecumenical movement which King Charles is taking a lead on, is a rejection of Jesus Christ as Lord. They will accept all religions as worshipping the same God except for evangelical Christians who they reject. King Charles has clearly rejected being the "defender of the faith" choosing instead to be "a defender or faiths". He has made it clear he represents everyone of his subjects and since they includes Islam, Hindu, Satanists, Witches, pantheists, idolaters, etc., he is going to defend them all. As far as he is concerned people involved in the occult are worshipping the same God as Islam and the Hindus. The only ones that he rejects are Christians who say that Jesus is the only way to God the Father.
Acts 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
It is necessary that these ones reject the word of God before the Lord can bring judgment on the world. For the last two thousand years we have been in a period of grace, an opportunity to escape the judgement coming on the world by receiving the gospel of Jesus Christ. Some will receive it and be saved, others will reject it and be condemned. But they must first be given a chance to receive it and must make it clear that they have rejected it before the Lord can judge.
This will be the situation that the Lord returns from. The second or third watch is referring to guarding a place. It will be dark night, you are guarding the house of God from evil and meanwhile the world is celebrating the crowning of the Antichrist and the rejection of the word of God. The second watch was prior to midnight and the third watch was after midnight.
What we are seeing today, all over the earth, and especially in the US, is the rejection of the word of God and embracing a counterfeit Christ that enslaves people by promising freedom from God's laws.

Consider what we know about the rapture
1. Those who are in darkness will be caught by surprise. This includes believers who are asleep, or eating and drinking with the drunken. This tells me it will be before everyone is hiding under the rocks trying to hide from the wrath of the lamb. I would say that it would also be before Israel rebuilds the temple. One would think that would be an alarm that would wake up every genuine believer.
2. We know that a lot of believers will be left behind. The only thing I can liken it to is the ten spies giving an evil report and the two spies giving a good report. You could also compare it to all the ones caught up in the rebellion of Adonijah. I don't think we appreciate that part of the story enough. We are talking about 80% or more of genuine believers not to mention the great revival that will take place during the tribulation. From their perspective you could liken it to the two times the temple was destroyed and the Jews were scattered and had to flee persecution. Interestingly this could also be compared to the time Moses came down from the mountain when they were worshipping the brazen calf, broke the ten commandments, and made those that worshipped Moloch to be put to death.
3. We also know that it happens before the tribulation begins. This is rarely discussed but to me this will be like the time Jesus was thrust out into the wilderness to fast for forty days and be tested. Jesus ministry began with His baptism and God speaking from the heavens "this is my beloved Son hear Him". You could see that being mirrored in the rapture as those that were raptured were those that "heard Him" while those who were left behind were those tho treated His words disrespectfully. Interestingly the 9th of Av is typified in all of these scenarios as it begins a time of introspection as you are to prepare to meet your God.
4. We also know that they will be eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage right up until the rapture. Presumably after the rapture they won't be. This also is seen in the 9th of Av. You are to fast and mourn on this day and you are not to get married on this day.
5. We also know that it will be like the days of Noah. One aspect of Noah that is frequently ignored is that the world's DNA had been mingled with fallen angels and had been made corrupt. Noah was said to be "perfect" meaning his DNA had not been corrupted. At this time we are also seeing mRNA vaccines that are corrupting human DNA.
6. It was said to be like the days of Lot and the story there was of the corruption of Sodom and Gomorrah. Besides rampant and brazen sexual sins, it was also a very dangerous place to live. We see mobs trying to rape people and the collapse of law and order.
7. We also know that there will be a great delusion given to those who hate the truth. The same people who teach evolution are the same ones who tell you to respect the science even though the evolution of life into a human being in 13 billion years due to random mutations has been proven mathematically to be absurd. These same people will believe that Aliens abducted people all over the world as a phony baloney story to explain the rapture. They will also believe that fallen angels kicked out of heaven after the rapture are here on the earth to help man. As you have done, it will be done to you. They have mocked and ridiculed those who spoke the truth to them, they chose to believe a lie, so for eternity they will be mocked and ridiculed for being such fools.
8. In proverbs the apostate wife of the Lord is portrayed as an adulterous woman who thinks the Lord's return will be at the full moon (appointed time). Just like those worshipping Moloch were caught by Moses by surprise, she also is caught by surprise by the Lord's coming (Rev 3:3). Interestingly this also matches the 9th of Av. The 15th of Av is a full moon and it is considered the best day to get married in Israel. If you were going to have a wedding you would think it would be the 15th of Av. However, Moses came down a week early, caught them in adultery, broke the ten commandments, and cursed the children of Israel. In the same way the apostate church is teaching that everyone will be raptured before the tribulation, they are engaged in sinful things and going through the tribulation will be like a curse that takes from the 9th of Av to the 15th of Av.

6. It was said to be like the days of Lot and the story there was of the corruption of Sodom and Gomorrah. Besides rampant and brazen sexual sins, it was also a very dangerous place to live. We see mobs trying to rape people and the collapse of law and order.
7. We also know that there will be a great delusion given to those who hate the truth. The same people who teach evolution are the same ones who tell you to respect the science even though the evolution of life into a human being in 13 billion years due to random mutations has been proven mathematically to be absurd. These same people will believe that Aliens abducted people all over the world as a phony baloney story to explain the rapture. They will also believe that fallen angels kicked out of heaven after the rapture are here on the earth to help man. As you have done, it will be done to you. They have mocked and ridiculed those who spoke the truth to them, they chose to believe a lie, so for eternity they will be mocked and ridiculed for being such fools.
8. In proverbs the apostate wife of the Lord is portrayed as an adulterous woman who thinks the Lord's return will be at the full moon (appointed time). Just like those worshipping Moloch were caught by Moses by surprise, she also is caught by surprise by the Lord's coming (Rev 3:3). Interestingly this also matches the 9th of Av. The 15th of Av is a full moon and it is considered the best day to get married in Israel. If you were going to have a wedding you would think it would be the 15th of Av. However, Moses came down a week early, caught them in adultery, broke the ten commandments, and cursed the children of Israel. In the same way the apostate church is teaching that everyone will be raptured before the tribulation, they are engaged in sinful things and going through the tribulation will be like a curse that takes from the 9th of Av to the 15th of Av.

If you are confused about pre tribulation and post tribulation he does a good job of explaining the many different groups of people that will be raptured before the tribulation and those who will get saved out of the tribulation.
Behold ye despisers
Acts 13:41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
How arrogant
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
They thought they had a monopoly on God and He pulled the rug out from under them.
Just like Today
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
Conservative Evangelical Christians are being expelled from everywhere.

I was reading Job and that book always bothers me, cannot understand it. So I thought, suppose I was Job. When I was a teacher you felt you had done everything you were supposed to and yet the students still were not learning, you were not getting the results you wanted. You had to listen to various principals and assistant principals critique your performance and you soon learned that most of them were useless counselors.
But then I had a few revelations. First, all the complainers among teachers are those who justify themselves. The reason their results are poor is not because of their own failure but because of the students and the administration. They can tell you ten things that others are doing wrong but not one about themselves. When I questioned that I realized none of it was true. For example, if the problem is with the city then everyone is under the same problems and yet my performance is poor compared to theirs. If the problem is with the principal in our school then everyone in the school is under the same conditions and my performance is poor compared to them. Likewise with the students.
Secondly, every teacher thinks their students are lazy, but when I thought back on my own experience as a student I knew I was lazy (and yet all the teachers thought I was so diligent).
At that point I changed my attitude, I decided the only errors I could fix were my own so it was pointless at looking at everyone else's faults. I then began to see that there was no reason my students couldn't compete with the best and brightest. This was unthinkable, to even voice this would receive ridicule and mockery. There are schools in NYC that only the top 1% of the students got into after passing a test. They had every advantage and started with a huge head start. But the Lord began to show me how we could overcome all those advantages.
What I saw was that Jesus wanted to be the teacher in that class and if I would work closely with Him nothing would be impossible.
I believe that is the point of the tribulation. God wants people to see that He is present, He wants to be part of our lives, and He wants to do great things in our midst.

Resurrection Global Earthquake Coming! Wedding Preparations for Our Arrival! Pre-Trib Dreams!
There are a lot of dreams concerning a great earthquake that splits the US along the Mississippi river (New Madrid fault line) as well as causing California to fall into the ocean (west of the San Andreas Fault).
Matthew 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
Earthquakes are associated with the resurrection from the dead and the opening of the graves.
Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
I think the sixth seal being opened is a reference to the rapture and the graves being opened and I suspect that is what all these dreams are seeing.

I am going to post this link because it demonstrates how many different interpretations of the Book of Revelations there are. I was brought up on Darby and Watchman Nee's teaching. But since then I have heard a whole host of other interpretations.
This brother feels that the rapture takes place at the beginning of chapter 4. This is based on John hearing a voice saying "Come up here" and when he gets there he sees the lampstand, signifying the church. Based on this interpretation the first seal is opened after the rapture and refers to the Antichrist being revealed as the man of lawlessness and confirming the covenant with the many saying there will be peace and security.
However, this interpretation ignores the fact that Paul also was caught up into heaven and saw things he couldn't say and that was obviously not the rapture. It ignores the book of Ephesians telling us that the church is in heaven with Jesus, again prior to the rapture. It also ignores the fact that John said He saw a lamb as having been slain after redeeming the earth and paying the price come and open the seals. All of those things would give me pause about being so sure that Revelation 4 begins with the rapture.
Then what does it mean to open the seals? It means that things that were a mystery in ages past are now being made known. This is what Paul says took place after Jesus ascension. So then, if the first seal is about the antichrist as well as the many antichrists, have those things been made known? We know the number of his name, isn't that something that has been unsealed? We know that there are many antichrists and we have shown how to discern them, isn't that something that has been made known? The same is true of the other four seals. We know how these world leaders use war, famine and plague to seize power and become more powerful. We know how many, many people have been killed by these governments in unrighteousness and even though the evidence is overwhelming no one is ever accountable. If you look at the posts in this blog you will see that I have covered these five seals extensively, though not referring directly to them. Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine, destruction of food, Covid Pandemic, and the martyrs have all been covered extensively. These things have been made known, they are no longer sealed up.
Therefore, even though I can see the confusion and why he would think chapter 4 begins with the rapture I think this is foolish. I believe that the rapture is the end of the church age, just like a final exam at the end of the year is the end of a school year. However, not everyone passes the exam and so the tribulation is summer school. During that time you hit the big topics quickly and so everyone who is left behind will see these five seals opened up again. They will see the Antichrist saying peace and security and confirming a covenant and then using war, famine, and plague to seize power. They will see him killing millions who refuse to submit to his authority.
This is one of the big confusions, the church age is supposed to be over at the start of the tribulation and yet 80% of Christians will be in the tribulation. As a result those who see Christians in the tribulation are right, those who see Christians raptured before the tribulation are right. The one thing I have seen with the book of Revelation is that people need to be humble. If you think you have all the answers you will be humbled under the mighty hand of God.
You think the tribulation is seven years long, but show me the verse that says that. Yes, the 70th week is seven years long but show me a verse that the two are the same thing? I don't want to hear that it is "common sense" to equate the two because it is common sense to equate "Jacob's trouble" with the tribulation and Jacob's trouble is depicted by ten days, not seven. You think the first seal being opened is about "The Antichrist" being made known, but tell me where it says that it is not about "all the antichrists" being made known? If Nero and Hitler are types of the Antichrist how is it that our seeing them is not the first seal being opened? How is it that everything the NT says about the antichrist is not the first seal being opened?

This is the rapture in the book of Revelation
Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Just like when the Lord was crucified and then rose from the dead.
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
This reminds us of Revelation 12, the manchild is caught up and the fallen angels are cast out.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
The heavens departed means we can see God, He is no longer hidden.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
How do they know this? Because there is an earthquake? They know this because everyone knows that the Bible teaches the great day of the Lord's wrath begins with the rapture.
The opening of the sixth seal is the rapture.

Mark 3:1-7 Is it lawful to do good or to do evil? To save life or to kill?
There is an interpretation of the four gospels that Matthew is the message to those who will be the last to be taken during the end of the age (the first shall be last and the last first), Mark is for lukewarm church which will be taken in the middle of the tribulation and Luke is for those who are raptured at the beginning of the tribulation. With that in mind consider some interesting differences in this section from Matthew and Luke.
1 Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there.
In Matthew we get an outsider's perspective of Jesus and His disciples in a field picking grains and we look on this scene and ask how come His disciples are breaking the sabbath. That is missing in Mark because these ones are not picking the grains. They are not looking at little words sprinkled throughout the Bible that open up the teaching on the end of the age. In Mark this teaching begins with the man with the shriveled hand. They have been told in this church that “no one knows the day nor the hour” and so they have allowed that teaching to keep them from picking the grains which in turn causes their hand to be shriveled.
2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 3 Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.” 4 Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.
Stand up in front of everyone. If you want to get healed you will need to take a stand, not about the rapture, not about eschatology, not about any of that. You will need to take a stand on one basic question: is it lawful to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? Right now we are seeing some incredibly weird laws. Trump was impeached because of an allegation that he was asking the leader of Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden for corruption as a way to influence the election. This accusation caused the media and the Democrats to become outraged over the implication, yet in September we were given physical evidence that Hunter Biden had sold influence to his father who was Vice President at the time and not one word. No outrage, in fact nothing other than to do everything in their power to ignore it. A week prior to the election Hillary Clinton is very vocal and public that Joe Biden is not to concede “under any circumstances”. This was the rallying cry to the Democrats, bringing tears to many of their eyes as they heard this. One week later they are outraged that Trump has not conceded because they are appealing alleged voter fraud in the key states that determined this election. The mainstream media says there is no evidence of voter fraud to which the President’s press secretary holds up 234 signed affidavits alleging 11,000 incidents of voter fraud. So they change that to there is no evidence of “widespread voter fraud” to which Giuliani responds with evidence of several million votes for Trump that were either deleted or switched to Joe Biden by the Dominion software used to tally the votes, software that Clinton, Pelosi and Feinstein have an ownership stake in and which also has ties to China. We see attorney generals in numerous states doing everything they possibly can to prevent audits of their election, why? We were told there would be no vaccine mandates only for them to now have vaccine mandates in many places. Biden announced that Afghanis would be given priority over Americans in evacuating them from Afghanistan. Biden tried to charge Americans $2,000 each for the evacuation flight before the outrage shut that down.
At the end of the age a simple question that you must stand up for: is it legal to do good or to do evil? During the campaign right up to election day the media condemned Trump rallies as “super spreader events” then the very next day they are in the streets in massive rallies celebrating Biden’s apparent victory without a peep from the media. Likewise with Obama's 60th birthday celebration. During the lockdown every large gathering was made illegal except for BLM protests. These were advertised via all the social media platforms. The organization raised over a billion dollars, not for charitable work, but for the purpose of electing Democrats. But the day after the election a woman starts a Facebook page to set up protests calling for scrutiny over possible election fraud and Facebook shuts it down because it could provoke violence. The “stop the steal” rallies are distinctive for their protestors kneeling prayer, but they are outlawed by Facebook because they might provoke violence. Yet they never outlawed the BLM protests that were often marked with riots and looting. Take a stand, is it lawful to save life or to kill? “But they remained silent”. How can you not answer that simple question?
5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.
This event exposed their plots to kill Jesus. The end of this age there will be judgement. You will have those who believe in Jesus receiving judgement and you will also have those who plot to kill Jesus receiving judgement. Before that can happen you have to separate them. Today we see these groups being separated. I saw on Youtube many people at these “stop the steal” protests saying they were Democrats, they weren’t there to support Trump rather they were there to support the US constitution and a free and fair election. However, what we need to do, what our response should be, is to stretch out our hand. Look into the rapture, ignore the leaven of the pharisees that you can't know so don't look.
7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.
Right now you have to withdraw from the mainstream media and these big tech platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Instead there are smaller platforms like Rumble that you can use, and other sources of news like Next News, NTD, Sky news, Dailywire, etc.

Mark 3:8-35 They are guilty of an eternal sin
8 When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon. 9 Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him. 10 For he had healed many,so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him. 11 Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” 12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him. 13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. 14 He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons. 16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), 17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”), 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
Likewise there are some very powerful “preachers” on these platforms. So although many of these are taking a stand for doing good and not for killing, there are also those who are preaching Jesus as well. Also, please note, impure spirits cannot tell others about Jesus, this honor is only for His saints.
20 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. 21 When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”
This is funny. Everyone talks about that crazy uncle at Thanksgiving that “is out of his mind”. When my family was celebrating Biden’s “win” I responded that “yes, this is a very exciting election and I have been paying close attention and am very interested to see how it turns out in the end”. That brought a vehement response, I pointed out that CNN and Fox don’t get to call elections, the GSA does. Again, the response was like hitting a hornets nest with a bat, but the kindest thing they might of said is that “he is out of his mind”. Yet here we are three years later and guess what, we still haven't resolved this. Just this week we had a major decision by a judge concerning censorship opening the way to investigate election fraud claims.
22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”
Now that is what the mainstream media is saying. The ugly, nasty accusations are off the charts. Their hypocrisy is on full display that they would all rally behind Clinton’s cry “do not concede under any circumstances” and then rail against Trump and portray him as Scarface holed up in the oval office. Durham's report proves that they were complicit and involved.
23 So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan Drive out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come.
If Trump were "Satan" he couldn't drive out Satan, he couldn't "drain the swamp". This is how you can discern who is who. Is Biden driving out Satan? No. Is there any possibility that he can drive out Satan? No. They just found a bag of cocaine in the President's library at the Whitehouse. Only a very few people had access to that room and yet they claim they will be unable to figure out who left the cocaine. The nasty, ugly attacks on Trump and his supporters, isn't that how Satan talks, how he acts? However, we also know that Satan's end has come when you see them opposing themselves. When you see them take out Cuomo, or attack Biden, this is evidence that their end has come. Many believe that allowing us to learn of this bag of cocaine is their decision to get rid of Biden. You see this in all the gangster movies with the iconic "you dirty rat". When the end comes they all abandon ship and try to save themselves.
27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.
During the end of this age the Lord is going to plunder the strong man’s house, that is a reference to the rapture and the Lord coming as a thief. For the lukewarm church the Lord comes as a thief. But first, before the rapture, you must tie up the strong man. Bind him, throw him in prison. That is what we are seeing right now. That is what the “stop the steal” protests were all about. That is what Giuliani and hundreds of affidavits, witness testimonies, and physical evidence were all about. The audit is binding the strong man, the lies they tell are binding the strong man. Biden blamed the Afghanistan crisis on poor intelligence, the military was out immediately after his speech refuting his lies. Biden claimed that the US is no good at nation building, pundits immediately dug up old video of him promoting "nation building" in Afghanistan. Every lie is used to bind the strong man, that is the problem they face with everything they ever speak being recorded and kept on tape.
28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”
You can say that your crazy uncle has lost his mind, that is fine, you can be forgiven of that. But if you blaspheme those who motivated by the Holy Spirit stand up to witness against the crime.
30 He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.”
If you say that following the legal, constitutional process to contest the election in the courts is “impure” and a “coup” then there is no forgiveness for that. They made the accusation that January 6th was an insurrection. Then it was revealed there were no weapons, and then it was revealed that the only people who were killed were killed by the Capital security, that Officer Sicknick was not bludgeoned, he was not killed by bear spray, that all of that was a lie. Then it was revealed that actually the FBI was the one involved in planning and carrying out the insurrection. Now the FBI is trying to say there was no insurrection plan because they want to stop the investigation of what happened. All of a sudden they realize they stepped into the bear trap. You said they had an impure spirit, we are going to investigate that and find out exactly who had the impure spirit.
31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.” 33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked. 34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”
Every believer is concerned that they would be found worthy at the end of the age. Apart from a select few like the Mother Mary we know that all Christians are uneasy about whether or not they will be raptured. So this is a very encouraging word, “whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother”.
8 When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon. 9 Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him. 10 For he had healed many,so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him. 11 Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” 12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him. 13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. 14 He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons. 16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), 17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”), 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
Likewise there are some very powerful “preachers” on these platforms. So although many of these are taking a stand for doing good and not for killing, there are also those who are preaching Jesus as well. Also, please note, impure spirits cannot tell others about Jesus, this honor is only for His saints.
20 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. 21 When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”
