Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

Jeremiah 50:28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, the vengeance of his temple.

The Lord will make sure some escape to tell of the vengeance so the whole earth can tremble.

29 Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.

Think about this, who is as insulting and proud against the Lord Jesus as people in the US. You can't insult Judaism, that makes you "antisemitic", you can't insult Islam, but Jesus Christ is fair game. They made Jesus Christ Superstar, the musical. They made many, many Hollywood movies that insult the Lord and use His name in vain. If a movie star is a Christian like Mel Gibson or Caviezel then they ridicule and insult them to no end. I don't want to go through the insults, but the lord knows that they have been proud against the Lord and they will be held to account.

30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord.

He will cut off the pride of the US.

31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord God of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.

Who else other than the US could be called "the most proud"? You may dislike the N. Koreans, or the Chinese, or the Russians, or Iranians or Venezuelans, but the truth is none of them can be called "the most proud". That title would belong to the US alone.

32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.

"Kindle a fire in his cities"? That sounds like the BLM riots that were "mostly peaceful", that sounds like the looting that is causing many cities to be abandoned. When you "kindle a fire" it starts out very small and soon you are throwing logs onto the fire. These little fires will devour everything round about the city. NYC and the suburbs, Washington DC and the suburbs, San Francisco and the suburbs. We are not there yet. But you drop some nuclear bombs on these cities and they take out ten square blocks and the entire electric grid. You will kill tens of thousands, you will displace tens of millions and soon it will be nothing but looting and mayhem and gang violence. 65% of the US population lives within 5 miles of the ocean. I believe that virtually all of that area will be devoured by this kind of gang violence and looting. You let them kill each other, loot and starve for a month, and then when your military rolls in it is an easy thing to control the population.

Jeremiah 50:33 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.

As you have done it will be done to you. If you have been merciful, you will receive mercy.

34 Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

Jesus is our redeemer and He will thoroughly plead our cause. This movie "the Sound of Freedom" proves that the US as much as any country is involved in child trafficking and employing predators to seize kids. The Kazarian mafia operates out of Ukraine as their headquarters and you can see from this war with Russia the US and Biden will do anything to protect them. They messed with the wrong God, because the Lord of hosts will thoroughly plead their cause, He will give rest to the land, and He will disquiet the inhabitants of the US

35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.

I view this term of Chaldeans as referring to our military, but especially the CIA, NSA, and all the alphabet groups. I see the princes as referring to the billionaires, the movers, the shakers, the influencers. They love to parade fools and morons in front of us to make us think the people in charge are idiots, but in reality the guys pulling the strings are wise men. Not in the sense of fearing God but in the sense of being as subtle as Satan.

36 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.

The liars, the ones who dote. We use a different term, we would say brown nose, or Kiss@#*. The US does have mighty men, but they will be dismayed, stunned at how incompetent the people in charge are who have betrayed them and the country.

37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.

Like I said, no one knows how to pay you back better than the Lord. He is going to put a sword to our horses, no gas. Our cars and trucks will grind to a halt. If you destroy key pipelines and take down a large part of the electric grid we will run out of gas and diesel very quickly. The "mingled people", what a strange description. But this is definitely a description of the US. When I visited other countries I was hit by how they were all the same, they all grew up in the same country, all spoke the same language, all had the same heritage. I had grown up in a melting pot and that was not the case in most of the world. Sadly they have mingled Christians with pagans, witchcraft, and the occult. The treasures of the US are our reserve currency, that will be robbed, our stock exchange, that will be robbed, and our agricultural might, that will be robbed.

38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.

Once the US dollar becomes worthless as leaves in the wind, then everything else dries up. Our businesses, our corporations, our economy, our cities.

39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.

These cities are going to be bombed with nuclear bombs. Humans will flee, just like they fled from Chernobyl. Then you will see wild animals, wolves, and packs of dogs, and coyotes, and snakes and mountain lions inhabiting cities that are abandoned.

Let's summarize, part 1

I have been doing this since 2020 after the pandemic started. I was shut down on another platform so moved here after that, but suffice it to say it has been 3 years. During that time I have heard many of these watchmen talk about "high watch dates" and lay out reasons why this holy day or that holy day could be the rapture. I posted those links because we are studying the word and it is perfectly acceptable to hypothesize. No one claimed to have gotten a word from the Lord telling them or some special revelation. We were simply studying the word of God. Also I was very clear and have made it very clear I am not the arbiter of truth. I don't have to agree or disagree with someone to post a link to what they share. My critical criteria is that they are expounding on the word of God. I try to avoid too much redundancy and I never claim to be all knowing or have a comprehensive blog. I do my best, but only have so many hours in the day. Therefore I tried to find a variety of teachers who in turn were also listening to a wide variety of teachers and in this way felt if any major breakthroughs were discovered it would come to my attention through this grapevine.

Over three years I have heard a lot of expounding on the various holy days but soon came to several conclusions.

1. You don't build a doctrine on types and shadows. I needed NT verses that told you clearly, and would only use the types and shadows to fill in the picture. Dr. Barry Awe does a wonderful job of expounding the types and shadows, but I felt his teaching leaned much too heavily on those. For example, I think the teaching should begin with the NT, start with Jesus words in the gospels, and not the allegorical teachings like 153 fish, but clear, intelligible words. Then go to Paul, Peter and John. Only then fill in the picture with the OT types and shadows.

2. The Holy days need to be NT holy days. The argument they make is that God is the same today as yesterday, in the past He kept these feast days to the minute, so He will do the same in the NT. Fair enough, but then the feast days need to be in the NT. This is our covenant. Pastor Sandy talks about Israel having two wives, a gentile wife (Leah -- blue eyes) and Jewish wife (Rachel -- brown eyes). Well you wouldn't have the same wedding day. It would be hard enough to have two wives, having them share the same wedding day would be intolerable. In the typology Rachel is married seven days after Leah, but that is typology. Everyone assumes that means seven years, Israel gets saved at the end of the tribulation. However, I would not put it past God to have a double entendre. The 15th of Av is supposed to be the happiest day of the year for the Jews, the most auspicious for a wedding and the day the curse ended. Sounds like a great day for them to be married to the Lord. Meanwhile the 8th of Av is the feast of new wine, Pentecost, a New Testament Feast that is hidden in the OT. So I can see the church being raptured on the 8th of Av and Israel being saved on the 15th of Av. So when you examine the NT there are only two days given to us for us to keep: The Lord's table and Pentecost. We are told that the Lord will not drink of the wine until He drinks it anew with us in the kingdom. So the Lord's table points to the rapture, and the rapture is when you drink "new wine", that is Pentecost, the Feast of new wine. The new wine is the Holy Spirit being poured out and the expression of being filled with the Holy Spirit is speaking the great things of God.

3. Do not despise the objections of the brothers and sisters. I recently listened to several brothers and sisters who are obviously being attacked and ridiculed. One brother has titled his messages "Unapologetic about the rapture" and the other spent 15 minutes responding to these attacks, and others have actually attacked brothers and sisters calling them false brethren, etc. Obviously if you accuse someone of being a false brother you need to have some very powerful evidence, otherwise be prepared to be judged, for with what judgement you judge you shall be judged. So that is unfortunate that some are doing that, but lets talk about those who are complaining about the criticism. Dr. Barry Awe admits he has made mistakes but did not embrace the criticism that "he didn't have enough evidence" that was mentioned previously to some of his posts. His videos go for an hour or two hours, and I have listened to everyone, at least ten of them. That is probably 12 hours or more of video. People don't do that if they aren't interested. But the fact is if you are going to talk about the rapture you must address certain topics: the Antichrist, the Mark of the Beast, the Rise of the ten Kings, the rebuilding of the temple and most importantly the confirmation of the seven year covenant. I understand that many of these things happen after the rapture but they still must be addressed. If you don't have this then you don't have enough evidence and instead of complaining he should have adjusted his teaching accordingly. (Just to be clear I was not the one who made this criticism, but I would agree with anyone who did make it). You cannot talk about how you are no better than anyone else and then despise those who make valid observations.

4. Beware the leaven of the pharisees. We all know that this verse "no one knows the day or the hour" is leaven from the pharisees, but so also is "no one knows who the Antichrist is before the rapture". We have taken these things as true based on one or two verses, but if you put them under careful scrutiny it doesn't hold up. For example, the reason they say that no one can know the antichrist until after the rapture is not because the New Testament says that, but because the New Testament says that after the restrainer steps aside the man of lawlessness is revealed. I agree that "the restrainer stepping aside" refers to the rapture and I agree that the man of lawlessness is the Antichrist. But no verse is of its own interpretation. Jesus said that unless you are born again you cannot see the kingdom of the heavens. All of the unbelievers cannot see the Antichrist because they are not born again, but after the rapture that will no longer matter, he will be revealed even to them. On the other hand how could the spirit filled believers restrain the Antichrist if they can't see him? Surely the Holy Spirit can see who the Antichrist is and surely the spirit filled believers are one with the Holy Spirit.

Let's summarize, part 2

"But the fact is if you are going to talk about the rapture you must address certain topics: the Antichrist, the Mark of the Beast, the Rise of the ten Kings, the rebuilding of the temple and most importantly the confirmation of the seven year covenant. I understand that many of these things happen after the rapture but they still must be addressed."

So then let's address these points now:

1. The Antichrist -- I have posted a number of links to Janie Duvall's youtube videos on this topic where she interviews two men who have done extensive research on King Charles for the last twenty years. I have never seen more extensive and conclusive proof that King Charles is the Antichrist based on what the Bible and the New Testament says. Some teach that the first seal is not opened until after the rapture and that the opening of this seal starts the tribulation. There is some logic to this. The man of lawlessness is revealed after the rapture and the first seal is the revealing of the Antichrist. The problem is that the NT reveals the false Christs or false messiahs or the phony "anointed ones". You can find revelation on this topic in Galatians, in James, in Jude, and of course in Revelation. How could we know the number of his name if this seal wasn't opened? Revelation 4 describes a lamb as having just been slain as the one who opens the seals. Paul tells us that mysteries hidden in ages past have now been revealed. I would argue that the age of grace began with this seal being opened and the tribulation will also begin with this seal being opened. For those in the Spirit who are born again they could see this, but during the tribulation many, many more will see it. The fact that King Charles is the Antichrist is critical because he is the architect of Agenda 2030. These are 17 rules to follow for Climate change and although it doesn't seem to have anything to do with rebuilding the temple there is a very strange connection. After Prince Charles saved the negotiations on Agenda 2030 they built him a statue depicting him as an angelic being with wings called "Savior of the world". This statue is 10 cubits high, the same height as the two Cherubim in the Jewish temple and it was made this height so that this statue could go into the Jewish temple. So clearly whatever King Charles is doing is connected to the rebuilding of the temple and the "overspreading of abomination" (ie the winged idol) that will go into that temple.

2. The Mark of the Beast -- The WEF just put out an announcement that everyone will need to have an RFID chip inserted under the skin as an ID to access their CBDC bank account (Central Bank Digital Currency). They even admit that the purpose is for control, no one can access their economy without this (they won't be able to buy or sell) and that this is a necessary component of Agenda 2030 (this is how they will maintain worldwide compliance). They can decide how much gas you can buy and how much meat, etc. This means this Agenda 2030, the seven year covenant about to be confirmed this September with the many is also what brings in the mark of the beast, further confirmation that this will be the start of the tribulation.

3. The Rise of the ten kings -- there are also ten kings who get power for a short while. This appears to refer to BRICS which currently has five countries but will add five more in August. We talk about "king dollar" well it is about to become "King BRICS".

4. The rebuilding of the Temple -- Israel has 4 certified red heifers that will be ready to sacrifice this coming spring. You cannot rebuild the temple without first having the ashes of a Red heifer to cleanse and sanctify everything. It is very difficult to find a Red heifer and this is only the tenth time in history that Israel has found some. Although there is no reason to think the temple would be built prior to the start of the tribulation at the same time we know that the temple is built before the middle of the tribulation because that is when the sacrifices are stopped and Antichrist takes over the temple.

5. Confirming the seven year covenant with the many -- that will take place this September on the Feast of Trumpets which coincidentally is also the international day of peace. At this same time they will be declaring "peace and security". You may fairly argue that this is not the plan for September, however, if the rapture takes place and fire falls as judgement on the Great Babylon (the US) things will have greatly changed. The world's economy would be in a shambles and so proclaiming the need for this digital currency would be a call for security. My point is the rapture that takes place prior to the start of the tribulation will change everything and thus this covenant will also change as well.

PROPHECY--DESPISED


DESPISED

Jeremiah 36: 22-24 22 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him. 23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with a penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth. 24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent any of their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

My son, many of My REMNANT are DESPISED by My body. They hear the words of warning, yet they believe not. Many in My body have a wait-and-see attitude - the very same attitude the people of Jerusalem had during the days of Jeremiah. The people then DESPISED Jeremiah. They hated the words I put into his mouth. Just as today, My body DESPISES anyone speaking the truth, saying that I AM not a God to bring about such judgments. I say they neither know Me nor My Word. I AM GOD - I AM HOLY - I AM RIGHTEOUS - I AM LOVE - and - I AM!!

My son, My Word is DESPISED by the world and by most in My body. The false pastors only preach and teach on a worldly stage, giving a message of false hope based on the flesh. I see those who come into My house, dressed in scant clothes and flashy clothes, only wanting to be seen and lusted after by others. I hear the praise and worship sung by those whose hearts are far from Me. I will tear down the temples of the flesh with My Name over the door!

My son, My true REMNANT will be DESPISED by My body. They are as King Zedekiah saying to Jeremiah, Why doesn't God speak to me? Jeremiah replied, He does. You cannot hear. So it is with My body. I speak to all ALL My chosen, yet they cannot hear. They do not give Me but one hour a week of their time. THUS SAITH THE LORD - YOU WANT TO HEAR MY VOICE? GIVE ME YOUR TIME! YOU WANT TO HEAR ME SPEAK TO YOU? GIVE ME YOU! REPENT NOW and seek Me with ALL your heart.

My son, tell My body that My true REMNANT seek Me in prayer daily. My REMNANT hear My voice because they have given Me their ALL. My true REMNANT get alone with Me, and I visit them in the quiet times. That is why I WILL SHAKE!! I WILL SHAKE!! I WILL SHAKE!! MY BODY OUT OF ITS COMA!! SOON - VERY SOON - My watchmen and prophets will go silent. There will be no internet that isn't monitored by the beast. My body will then have to seek Me on their own to hear My voice. Will you BE READY - or - will you DESPISE those that have tried to warn you - as My people did to Jeremiah? I AM COMING SOON, AND I WILL BE DESPISED BY THE BEAST - BUT NOT BY MY REMNANT.

Amen. Lord Jesus

Let's summarize, part 3

Build this doctrine concerning the rapture based on the clear word in the New Testament

There are many types and shadows of the rapture. That is great, but we don't build the doctrine on that, we begin with the NT verses.

1. References connecting the rapture to the feast of new wine

Luke 22:17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

This is a reference to the rapture and the blessed hope. The blood of the covenant was Jesus' blood. He didn't drink it, He gave it. But at the rapture Jesus will "drink of the fruit of the vine". We know in John 15 that Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. So He will drink of the fruit of the vine means He will be enjoying the fruit of those members who are attached to the vine. He gave His blood for us and then He enjoys how His believers gave their blood for Him.

Mark 14:25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

Luke the word is talking about pouring out your life for the Lord as food and drink for Him just as He gave himself for us. But in Mark the word is a clue, "until that day" refers to the rapture, and "drink it new" refers to drinking new wine. This is the feast of new wine.

Matthew 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

Almost identical to what was said in Mark except that He is emphasizing the contrast with the blood of the covenant shed for remission of sins. The word "but" is a very strong emphasis between the wine He gives and the wine He will drink in the future.

Taken as a whole it seems irrefutable to me that the Lord is talking about the rapture and comparing it to drinking wine, which is the analogy He is giving for drinking His blood of the covenant. This is the way a marriage is supposed to be, the man gives his life for the bride and she in turn gives her life for the groom.

Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

This is not a reference to the rapture, but it is a reference to the 9th of Av, and since the 8th of Av is the feast of new wine we need to put these two together.

First of all Jesus does not say that every stone will be cast down or thrown down. That is a very clear misreading. He says "there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down". Only the stones that are sitting on another stone or resting on another stone shall be thrown down according to this verse. Consider your own experience, you go to church, there are pastors, worship leaders, ushers, children's ministry, sound ministry, etc. These are the ones who do all the work and that everyone else "rests upon". Perhaps one sixth of the members do all the work and the other five sixths rest on them. Consider ministry, we have full time Christian workers who are involved in various ministries. You can support them, you can contribute, you can participate, but again it is probably only one sixth of Christians who are actively involved in ministry. Likewise consider your own personal walk with the Lord and time in the word. If you are reading this then you are very likely someone who spends time each day with the Lord and in His word. But how many Christians do that? How many depend on the Pastor to speak a word? These Christians who are depending on others to feed them, make the church work and carry out ministry are all the stones that are resting upon another stone. The pillars of the church are the ones holding things up and they are the ones who will be taken out of the way. When that happens everything else collapses. All those stones resting upon the pillars will be thrown down.

So then these stones being "thrown down" is the aftermath of the rapture. This happens on the 9th of Av.

Mark 13:1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! 2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

Notice the difference between this and Matthew. In Matthew they want to know the sign of the Lord's coming and the end of the world. Mark they want to know "when shall these things be? and what will be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled". Now compare this with Luke 21.

Luke 21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

In Luke they want to know the signs that will alert them that these things are coming to pass, Mark wants to know when they will be fulfilled and Matthew wants to know when the Lord comes in glory on the cloud and when the end of the Earth is. Luke is asking about what we will see prior to the tribulation, Mark is talking about the middle of the tribulation, and Matthew is talking about the end of the tribulation. But in every case, the tribulation begins with these stones being thrown down, that means it begins with the 9th of Av. That is the specific day the second temple was destroyed, it was the day the first temple was destroyed, and it was the day that the Lord rebuked the children of Israel for their lack of faith in entering the good land. This will be the day when the church, the temple of God, is removed from the earth. The day that Samson, the strong man, pushes out the pillars.

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

This is a very clear word from Peter that judgement must begin at the house of God. The temple is a type and shadow of the house of God and we know that the judgement on the temple is the 9th of Av. That is when judgment on the world must begin, and judgement on the world refers to the tribulation.

1Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

There is only one example of a thief coming in the night in the gospels and that is when Judas came and betrayed the Lord. He betrayed the Lord with a kiss and here we are told that the kiss that the world will be betrayed with is this claim of "peace and safety". This is also further confirmation that the Lord's table ended by pointing us to the rapture when Jesus referred to drinking the wine anew. Shortly after that Judas comes as a thief in the night. You could then compare the monkey trial, the scourging and the crucifixion to the tribulation and what those saints will go through.

Once you see that pattern you can see that immediately before these events Jesus will flip the tables on the money changers (I suspect the BRICS money will replace the US currency, they will have ten countries and that is what the Ten Kings who will have power for a short while refers to, I also suspect immediately before this event you will see a big celebration in the streets, like Palm Sunday, celebrating the "coming of the king"). These are the two events that should tell us immediately before the rapture that we are going in the rapture. I have always felt according to the word that the rapture will be like the days of Noah and the days of Lot that we will get a one week warning and a one day warning. One week before the rapture I expect to see the "resurrection from the dead" of a Lazarus figure. The name Lazarus is the Greek version of Eleazar, Abraham's servant that brought Rebekah to Isaac. I think this will be the resurrection of Trump as President, hence "the last Trump". When this happens you will see people celebrating in the streets while the deep state whines about it. Then in retaliation the US dollar will collapse to 0. This is speculative, but if we see this the week before July 26-28 then know the rapture will take place on the 8th of Av and the 9th of Av the stones who were sitting on other stones will be thrown down.

Let's summarize, part 4

The appointed day needs to be a NT appointed day.

Yes, the entire Bible is for us, but we have a new covenant. It is a legally binding covenant, and it is a marriage contract. If there is an appointed day pointing to the rapture then it must be in our covenant. Also our covenant does not annul the previous covenant of the law. If they have a covenant with God it is eternal. So if the Jews wedding day is in their covenant you can be sure that it is not the wedding day of the church. Rachel did not have the same wedding day as Leah.

Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

We don't have to keep any of the feast days, holy days or sabbaths in the Old Covenant. We have only been given one day to keep and that is the Lord's table instituted by the Lord prior to His crucifixion. That is the same day that points us to the feast of new wine. And, we keep this day on the Lord's day because that is the day the Lord resurrected from the grave, but that is not the day it was instituted. It was instituted four days before the day of resurrection. But we are told by Paul that we can celebrate it on "whatever day". So we are free to celebrate the Lord's table on "whatever day" and yet we have picked two different days. The Lord's day which is 'the 8th day' and we were also specifically told that the big celebration of this will be at the feast of new wine, Pentecost. Likewise, Pentecost is the only feast that we ever hear the church celebrate and only once to celebrate the beginning of the church age.

Second, we need to consider what it means that this day is a "shadow of things to come". At some point in the future there will be this great event known as the rapture and it is casting a shadow on human history. The first time we see this Moses comes down from the mountain and sees the worship of Moloch. He breaks the ten commandments, and then forces everyone to drink the bitter water and those that were guilty are killed. That was 3,000. This number points us to the Feast of Pentecost where 3,000 are saved. The second time we see this the spies return from the good land with a huge bunch of grapes and they talk about how great the good land is. Then ten spies give an evil report and God curses the children of Israel for their lack of faith, causing them to wander in the wilderness and die over the next 38 years. That event is a shadow of the rapture and then the judgment on the apostate church that lacked faith.

So know this, the apostate church is infiltrated by those who worship Moloch and are licentious, as described by Jude. Their judgment comes immediately after the rapture. Then we can also see when Samson pushes out the two pillars that this is a temple of Moloch and everyone is worshipping and drinking wine again. This reminds us of what the Lord said about no stone being left upon another. The pillars are stones that sit on the rock and hold up all the other stones. The Lord is going to pull those out at the rapture and all the other stones will be thrown down. Your faith needs to be fully on the Lord. You cannot allow someone else to have a time with the Lord instead of you. You cannot let someone else do your ministry.

Twice we see the Jewish temple destroyed on the 9th of Av as well. There are many other events of God's judgment that fall on the Israelites on this day throughout history. All of these events are the shadow of some future great event.

Now we know that judgment begins with the house of God and we know that the judgement on the house of God takes place on the 9th of Av. That will be the start of the tribulation. The seven year tribulation describes judgements on the world, on the earth, and on unbelievers, but the rule is that this judgement must begin with a judgement on the house of God and that judgement must take place on the 9th of Av

Let's summarize, part 5

Do not despise the objections of brothers and sisters

When I was in sales we learned that an objection is evidence that someone is interested. It shows they are thinking, considering and bringing up various other Biblical references.

For example, many watchmen have been excited in the past and people have said "what about the Antichrist?" or "What about the ten kings?" or "What about the 7 year covenant?" These are all valid objections. Yes the rapture takes place prior to the AntiChrist being revealed to the whole world but still you should see some believers who are one with the Spirit restraining the lawless one. Yes the ten kings get power for a short period of time at the beginning of the tribulation and if the rapture is before the tribulation they might not have power yet, but still you would think you could see them. The 7 year covenant starts the tribulation, which most think would begin on a feast day, on the Feast of Trumpets. So then even if the rapture is before that point there should be a seven year covenant already in place that will expire seven years later and could be confirmed on the Feast of Trumpets. Some of the watchmen have become shell shocked and we should discuss that, much of the issue is they have brought this on themselves.

But let's use Dr. Barry Awe as an example as he has complained about these objections to his previous videos. His videos are 1-2 hours long. If someone has watched these to the end that demonstrates they are interested, if they then raise an objection based on the word of God that also indicates interest. Do not view this as an attack, on the contrary, receive this as coming from the Lord.

Many of us only want to play offense, we need to play offense and defense. Michael Jordan entered the league as a great offensive player. Teams put their best defender on him and schemed and strategized how to stop him. Instead of whining about it he chose to learn from them. He saw this as a blessing from God, tutoring him for free on how to play defense by the best defenders in the NBA. As a result he became an equally great defensive player making the all defensive team seven years in a row. It wasn't until he became a great defender that he started winning championships.

Find out what the objections are that others will raise and attack them, harass them, be all over those objections.

Let's summarize, part 6

4. Beware the leaven of the pharisees.

There are many teachings that are traditional and are not based on a rigorous study. They were fine for a number of years because we were far away from the end of the age. But now they have to be reassessed with the word of God.

1. No one knows the day or the hour -- I am already bored with this one, but if someone is still being harassed with this by all means let's review.

If I go to school in Europe and my friends ask "when will you return" I could say I don't know the day or the hour. That does not mean I won't call them in the future once I have my flight, it simply means in August I don't know the day or the hour I will return in June of next year. The OT says that God does nothing without telling his prophets. So even though Jesus didn't tell us the day and the hour 2,000 years ago does not mean He wouldn't tell us now. In addition the church in Sardis in Revelation 3:3 was warned that if they didn't repent the Lord would come at a time they did not expect. How can that be a warning if no one knows the day or the hour? In addition Jesus rebuked the Jews at the time of His crucifixion because they did not know the time of their visitation. Add to this that every time the Lord says "no one knows the day or the hour" He follows that up saying that therefore you must watch. For example, a farmer plants a crop and does not know the day and hour that he needs to harvest, so he must watch. A woman is pregnant, she does not know the day and hour that the baby will be born, so she must watch. You don't know the day or hour that a thief will come, so you must watch. Therefore to rebuke people who are watching for the Lord's return because "no one knows the day or the hour" is absolutely and positively unbiblical. Jesus never once even hinted at that. Then the Thessalonians thought that they had missed the rapture and Paul told them they were not ignorant of the times and seasons and said that those who were ignorant were in darkness. He said if you are in the light the day will not come as a surprise. Then in each of the three synoptic gospels the disciples asked specifically when these things would be and the Lord told them the signs to look for. He never said "no one knows so don't bother looking". The only people who subscribe to this doctrine are lazy and do not read the Bible for themselves. When I was 13 the Lord told me I would see His return. I didn't know the Bible at all, but I did know that verse "no one knows the day or the hour" so I thought this cannot be the Lord speaking to me if it contradicts the Bible. Later I learned that Simeon and Anna both knew that they would see the Lord come the first time. This doctrine is simple to debunk starting from the book of Matthew and concluding with the book of Revelation. Then Paul said there is a crown stored up for all those who love the Lord's appearing. The reason some hold to this doctrine while others don't let it stop them is because some love the Lord's appearing and some don't.

2. No one knows who the Antichrist is until after the rapture -- You will notice that the first and second doctrines are both based on a single verse in the Bible, something we are specifically told by Peter not to do. No verse is of its own interpretation.

This doctrine is even easier to debunk. It is based on one verse that says that after the restrainer steps aside the man of lawlessness will be revealed. I agree that when the restrainer steps aside is referring to the rapture and I also agree that the man of lawlessness is referring to the Antichrist and so I also agree that after the rapture he will be revealed. The question is, to who? Certainly not to Jesus, or the Holy Spirit, but to those who are left behind after the rapture. When you consider that question you also have to ask who was the restrainer restraining? Sin, Satan, the man of lawlessness? How could they restrain the man of lawlessness if they could not see him or know who he was? This is not proof that we can know who the Antichrist is, instead this is proof that the verse they hang this doctrine on is flimsy. No, the Bible tells us how to identify the false Christs, the antichrist. The term antichrist means counterfeit Christ. They don't claim to be Jesus, they claim to be "anointed". John tells us there have been many antichrists, and we know that Nero and Hitler are specific examples of people who are Antichrists. We are told the number of his name in Revelation and we are given many other characteristics of him in both the New and Old testaments. It is critical that believers know how to identify the true Jesus from the phony ones and the NT gives us all the information we need to do that. It is essential that we can identify the seven year covenant that the Antichrist confirms, it is essential that we can identify the mark of the beast, these are things we must be able to identify and restrain. The fact that we know so much about the Antichrist and we have examples of him and know the things he will do is proof that we can identify him. Granted there are many antichrists, you may think it is Obama or Macron and later learn it wasn't but even so he also is a phony anointed one. If you understand how to identify counterfeit Christs you will be able to identify them with a lot of confidence, even if you have a hard time identifying "the" antichrist. However, I will continue this in the next point.

3. The first five seals in Revelation are opened at the start of the tribulation -- This is 100% interpretation. They have no basis at all to say this other than they think this is the case. However it is a critical doctrine because if true it would support no one knowing the Antichrist and it impacts our understanding of the rapture as well.

The first seal reveals who the Antichrist is. Some think this is opened at the start of the tribulation. However, Revelation 4 says that John saw "a lamb as having just been slain". This is Jesus after the crucifixion, not two thousand years later. Paul says that the mysteries hidden for ages have now been opened and revealed the apostles and prophets. That certainly sounds like the seals being opened. The New Testament writers go into great detail helping us understand how to identify the counterfeits. I believe that is a major theme of both Galatians and the book of James. Peter goes into detail on this topic as does Jude and John. Acts gives us a few examples of phonies, 2Corinthians does as well. Timothy also has some warnings. The New Testament opens up this mystery in great detail so it makes no sense to say that this was not opened until the end of the church age. Some argue that the Lampstand was seen in heaven at this time and that signifies the rapture. I disagree, Paul told us we were seated together with Christ in the heavenlies. The church has been in the heavenlies with Christ for the entire church age. Therefore, if the rapture does not take place prior to the opening of these seals then in the book of Revelation the best depiction of the rapture is the opening of the sixth seal.

Jeremiah 50:40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.

Fire and brimstone fell on Sodom, Gomorrah and the neighboring cities, they were burned to ash, that is how no man would abide there any longer. It will be like that, fire will fall from the sky, the buildings and people will be turned to ash and no one will want to live in those cities anymore. Maybe it isn't a nuclear attack, but that is certainly something that is just like that.

41 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

Many kings shall be raised up. It won't just be Russia, you will also have N. Korea, Iran and Venezuela. Are those four "many kings"? You are also going to have BRICS and my understanding is that 47 countries want to join them. I have also heard that Germany and other countries want to see the gold that they are supposedly storing in the US, they think the gold has been stolen and they are simply trading phony paper saying they have the gold. Meanwhile the UK is revealing that the vaccine is killing people. Imagine if some countries discover their gold was stolen, others discover that the US was pushing a kill shot to respond to a bioweapon they released, and still others are responding to drone attacks and other phony wars like looking for WMD's in Iraq. We are going to be attacked by many kings. Now add to all that this movie about child trafficking (Sound of Freedom) and all the countries where kids are kidnapped.

42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.

When they find out you were giving them a kill shot, when they discover you were kidnapping and trafficking their children, or that you were the "Cocaine Importing Agency" or that you were bombing them with drones over a false flag event, or that you stole their gold. There will be no mercy.

43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.

Let's Summarize, part 7

The Feast of Pentecost

Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

The day of Pentecost is fully come at the third hour of the day. That is when the priests pour out the wine onto the earth as an offering to God. That is a shadow of this day, the reality is Jesus as our High Priest in Heaven pouring out the Holy Spirit on Earth, and that is what we are seeing happen here.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

This is a picture of the church age and those who are filled with the Holy Spirit. They speak the great things of God. This is what the Lord said about the gospel going out into all the earth.

9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

We are told by Paul in the book of Ephesians what this means. We have been given the Holy Spirit as an engagement ring. These experiences are proof that we have a covenant with the Lord.

13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

Pentecost is the feast of new wine. That is July 26th this year.

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

The feast of new wine requires that the priests in the temple pour out wine as an offering to God at the third hour, only after they do that is the wine blessed and can be drunk by others. Peter is telling them that they can't be drunk yet because the priests have just begun to pour the wine to start the feast.

16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: 21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Peter is also telling us that people being filled with the Holy spirit and speaking of the great works of God is a sign that we are in the last days. The last days are "plural" hence two days rather than one, or two thousand years. If the two thousand years officially begins on the day of Pentecost then one can surmise that they also officially end on the feast of Pentecost.

One very credible theory is that Jesus was crucified in 30AD and the temple was destroyed 40 years later in 70AD. Based on that theory 2,000 years after Pentecost would be 2030AD.

Let's Summarize, part 8

Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

There are two aspects to this feast. On the one hand the Spirit is poured out onto the Earth, on the other hand the deeds of wicked men are overcome by the resurrection from the dead declaring God's judgment.

25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

Pentecost declares not only that Jesus is raised from the dead but that He is also seated on the throne and not just that but that we are His witnesses. This is an all inclusive feast! The OT has many feasts, in the NT we have 1. This Feast declares that wicked men killed Jesus (Passover), it declares that God did not leave Him in the grave (unleavened bread), it declares that Jesus is the forerunner of those raised from the dead (first fruits), the Lord will make known to us the ways of life (Shavuot), we are His witnesses trumpeting that Jesus the King is on the throne (Feast of Trumpets)

33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. 34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Until I make your foes a footstool -- Day of Atonement.

37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

The saving of three thousand souls ties this event into the event at Mount Sinai when Moses broke the ten commandments and 3,000 were killed for worshipping the brazen calf.

Therefore, the appointed days that the Jews have and must keep, we only have one appointed day to keep, and that is Pentecost. However, the way we keep this feast is by being filled with the Holy Spirit and speaking the great works of God.

Let's Summarize, part 9

Pentecost speaks of the rapture

In this feast we are witnesses, speaking of the great works of God. Those works involve the resurrection from the dead, they involve overcoming the wicked, they involve being saved from sin. All of this is our blessed hope and speaks of the rapture and our covenant with the Lord and one day going to be where He is. There are two sides to this feast, on one hand three thousand are saved, raptured, and on the other hand 3,000 are killed. The rapture involves some being caught up to heaven and it also involves some being exposed as false and being thrown down to the earth. Also this feast is a shadow of something to come that will spark a great revival. During Jesus ministry He got 500 but only 120 had the Spirit fall on them on this day. That is a ten fold increase from the 12 disciples. Then they got 3,000 saved, a sixfold increase on the number saved during the Lord's ministry.

Suppose during the rapture only one fourth of the believers are raptured and that in turn causes a six fold increase to be saved over all those who had been saved during the entire church age! The Satanic worldly system will be rocked to its core.

This feast also shows how believers will be mocked and ridiculed during the church age, but the slander will be baseless.

Let's summarize, part 10

Matthew 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

This verse appears in all three synoptic gospels. The Holy Spirit is the new wine and the church is the new wine skin. There are two aspects to Pentecost. On the one hand the new wine was put into new wine skins (the 120 -- and then into the 3,000), on the other hand the Holy Spirit being poured on the earth caused the old bottles to burst. The apostate church will burst, their wine will run out on the ground. The buildings will be smashed, the priests killed, and the blood run out on the street.

This happened at the beginning of the age. Likewise at the end of the age we drink the wine anew with the Lord and we get new "wine skins" in our resurrected and glorified bodies!

Casting out demons

Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

I have heard testimonies of drug addicts who were healed and they in turn set up ministries to help drug addicts. I have heard of people addicted to pornography doing the same. I have heard of people who were Satanists helping those involved in witchcraft, etc. It is easy to help someone overcome something that you have already overcome. You understand the struggles, you can empathize, you know what to pray for.

Matthew 17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, 15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. 16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

But what happens if you are faced with something you have never overcome. This boy was demon possessed by a very filthy demon. According to James if you are going to pray for someone to be healed the first thing they need to do is confess their sins. This man kneeled before the Lord, that is an excellent first step, and the Lord responded saying:

17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

People who are faithless and perverse open themselves up to becoming demon possessed. Pornography and drugs are two examples, idolatry is a third. These open people up. The word of God, worship to the Lord, attending meetings with other believers, these things cover you and protect you from demons. So the Lord knows this person is faithless. If they were filled with faith and their home was filled with faith the demon would not be able to possess his son. Likewise this kind of extreme possession is a result of some form of perversion. If you play around with the occult, or any of these other perverse things you open yourself up to demon possession.

18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. 19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

So what happens when you are faced with healing someone from something you never had to overcome? I was a high school teacher in the inner city of Brooklyn. My students could not understand what I was teaching and I was completely mystified. I could not understand why they were struggling. When I went to high school it had been very easy for me. In three years I never took a book home to study. I don't say that figuratively, that was a literal fact. I was always in the accelerated class, had a very good gpa and went to a university ranked in the top ten in the nation. I had no way to understand these kids but I was desperate, I knew I would be a terrible teacher if I didn't. So I fasted and prayed. I decided I would have to be myself, use the tools I had, so during the summer when everyone else took their break I was working. I used statistical analysis and sophisticated computer programs to design my lessons. My goal was that on day one of the school year I could tell my students they were in the best science class in the city, back that up with the data, show them that the previous year the students had outperformed the rest of the city on the exam and that my promise to them was that they would too. It took me ten years to get there. During that time I could see teachers that had the exact same problems the kids were having and could easily understand and help them. But it was like climbing a mountain, one side is easy to walk up and other side involves mountain climbing tools. But either way you can still get to the top of that mountain.

Two more things, the Holy Spirit is new wine, for two thousand years He has been new wine, if you are sitting around drinking "old wine" that has been sitting in a bottle for 50 years it is time you got some new wine from the Holy Spirit.

Second, when Jesus ascended that was Shavuot. The two loaves of leaven bread signifies that we, sinners, are His witnesses. We are not living in sin, we have been cooked, we have been washed. But we are sinful man. We have people who have been saved from every kind of sinful living testifying that Jesus is the savior. Peter is an example, he denied the Lord three times and yet here he is testifying and preaching to us concerning Jesus.

Missed The Rapture? Shame On You! S4C Global Community Church ,Soldiers For Christ is going live!

Luke 5:39 And no man having drunk old wine desireth new; for he saith, The old is good.

This is part of the account where the Lord says you put new wine into new wine skins. The account in all three gospels is very similar however, only Luke has this verse.

Once again let's put this into context. During the age of grace this is how every new doctrine was greeted. This is the story of the Protestant reformation. This is how they are responding to the watchmen posting the signs, wonders and prophecies concerning the Lord's soon return. However, no one would say that after the rapture, and the Jews wouldn't say this after the start of the Great Tribulation. In both of those cases the believers have been greatly humbled that they were wrong and will come to the Lord repenting for rejecting the word.

Bible Prophecy Update, Calm Down-Look Up - Sunday, July 16th, 2023

He does a great job of going after the mockers and scoffers, learn how to play defense from him.

Also, 51:22 minutes in he reads from the UN department of Economic and social affairs about this covenant that will be confirmed this September. The publication is titled "We need 7 years of accelerated, transformative Action to achieve SDGs."

"There is a narrowing window of opportunity over the next 7 years".

"To redouble our efforts" -- make stronger, enforce, confirm -- the word Daniel used.

"The SDG summit in September of 2023 [Feast of Trumpets] must signal a genuine turning point".

"It must deliver a rescue plan for people and planet" (Sounds like they are looking for a savior, a counterfeit Christ, a phony anointed one)

'At the center of this rescue plan governments must recommit to this seven year rescue plan'

Since Israel became a nation this is the first time we have ever had something like this that could fulfill Daniel's prophecy. The fact that this happens on Feast of Trumpets is quite stunning. The fact that this plan's architect is King Charles who was just crowned king and the evidence that King Charles is the Antichrist is overwhelming.
