The word translated "many" in Daniel 27 definitely has the meaning of many people, however it can be translated as "chief" or "captain" meaning the leader of many people. This is why we should understand that the definite article "the" is very important. It doesn't mean "many people" but more like "the many captains of many people".

To Daniel who was not familiar with the UN or with democracy, this would be the perfect way to describe the Antichrist confirming the covenant with all the ambassadors to the UN.

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Many expositors interpret this covenant as referring to a peace treaty with Israel because we have one sentence with two thoughts completing the point of the sentence. One thought is that the Antichrist confirms the covenant with the many for one week (which I believe refers to many ambassadors in the UN -- see post 9721), the other thought is that the Antichrist causes the sacrifices and oblation to cease in the midst of the week.

But I don't think this covenant can refer to a peace treaty or any treaty that allows Israel to rebuild the temple. First, why would you rebuild the temple if the treaty was only for one week? Second, who ever heard of a peace treaty that expires in seven years? Third, they are "confirming" or "strengthening" the covenant. After much consideration there is no mention of Antichrist making the covenant, only "confirming or strengthening" it. Therefore I feel this covenant refers to the covenant God made with Noah. Human government has a covenant with God to be responsible for peace and security. When you strengthen the government's covenant to keep peace and security we call that "instituting martial law" and it is always temporary. I think the Antichrist implements temporary measures to keep peace and security because the situation is real bad. I think it is real bad because a number of Christians have been raptured while at the same time, the Great Babylon (the USA) has been judged and cast down. The world will be in a catastrophic situation. I think that for every person raptured there will be another that dies on that day. You may have 60 million who die (as judgement for the 60 million abortions) and 60 million raptured worldwide. That is less than 2% of the world's population. I think many that are raptured will be small children and the elderly, so I don't think this will have a huge impact on the world's economy. But psychologically it will be devastating. There are billions of people who have probably heard the gospel or know about the rapture. If you know someone who was raptured you would know they are a Christian. It is in this context that the covenant is confirmed with the many. I believe this means they will institute a digital currency that the world must use and that they have full control over. People will agree because the world's situation is dire. This is not based on this one verse, this word "many" is used several times in Daniel and it indicates that the dominion is "many". It is translated as great, but I think the word great is in the sense of micromanaging what you buy or sell for every person on the earth.

So why would Daniel put that concept and that picture together with causing the sacrifices and oblations to cease halfway through the tribulation? First of all, he controls what you buy and sell and ultimately he will control whether or not the Jews can offer sacrifices and oblations. Second, the way in which they impose this is with Agenda 2030 and the 17 or 18 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). Already they are saying they want to replace meat with bugs. Daniel is giving us a clue that the tool the Antichrist will use to get this power. It is with these SDGs. Finally this sentence gives us a real picture of the Antichrist. He is very deceitful, but at the same time very persuasive. He can get all the captains to agree to give him this power, but in the end he will use this power to try and be like God.

Why it is so important to know when the Jubilee is.

1. We believe it is in the 120th Jubilee that the rapture takes place.

2. Jesus ministry began with Him proclaiming the year of Jubilee and so we would think that the counterfeit Christ would also begin his ministry by proclaiming a jubilee.

3. The rapture is a fulfillment of the jubilee.

4. When Jesus began His ministry He only quoted half the verse, the other half that He did not say talks about the Day of vengeance. Therefore we feel that the seven year tribulation will begin with the proclamation of this other half, and that is what you see when the sixth seal is opened, everyone realizes it is the day of vengeance.

But it is bigger than that

5. The day of jubilee is proclaimed on the Day of Atonement, so knowing this is the year of jubilee doesn't just give us the year that these things take place, it also gives us the day.

6. Some may argue that even if it is the year of Jubilee how do you know it is the 120th? That is where other prophecies come into play like the fig tree generation. We have seen numerous prophecies like the ones in Ezekiel that tell us 2030 is the year of the Lord's return, so learning this is the year of jubilee simply confirms that. We have much more than 2-3 witnesses.

7. This puts the Revelation 12 sign that we saw in 2017 and the one we see today into a context. The problem with signs is knowing what they say. I think it is fair to say that the sign we are seeing now is what Habakkuk says when it says it is so marvelous you wouldn't believe it even if it is told you. When we see these signs and these prophecies fulfilled we know something big is coming, but when? One brother did a nice explanation of Revelation 12 saying that the infant isn't caught up, it is "the child". He then described how if you travel around the ecliptic to the other side you have a clear shot to the throne whereas from Virgo to the throne you have to go through the sea monster. So that was a nice way of looking at the 2017 sign.

8. The day of Atonement is the only feast day that is a judgement day. One thing we need to realize is that the rapture is a judgement. The rapture is only half the story, maybe only a third of the story. You have those taken, those left behind, and those that die. There are three groups that get judged on that day.

9. The day of Atonement applies to the whole world, that is not true of all the other feast days. Likewise the rapture, the judgement on the Great Babylon and the start of the tribulation all apply to the whole world.

10. The day of Atonement is the day of the Lord. A high priest must be involved in the Day of Atonement to be the high priest. That is the one feast day when it is all him. It is not unreasonable to call the Day of Atonement the Day of the High Priest. Jesus is the High Priest. So when we say the Day of the Lord you can also call it the Day of the High Priest. And we know the Day of the Lord, the Day of the High Priest, begins on a jubilee year.

The Secret of Esau


Obadiah 6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!

Job 15:1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

Eliphaz is Esau's eldest son, and what he shares here is the hidden things of Esau. He is also called "Red" or Edom. He is Isaac's firstborn son, Jacob was the one holding his heel. Jacob becomes Israel and the Israelites are known as "the people of the book". This is the people with the stories of faith as their heritage. This was the inheritance that rightfully belonged to Esau but he sold it for a pot of beans.

2 Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?

I lived on the East coast of the US and so a "Nor Easter" referred to a wind coming off the North Atlantic and was cold and wet and stormy. Israel is the opposite. Wind coming from the west comes off the Mediteranean and would bring rain, coming from the East it is coming from the desert and would be dry, blasting, and clouds without rain. "Wise men uttering vain knowledge" that to me is what the talking heads on TV do. You don't get to be a talking head if you are not a "wise man". They have published books, Phd's, teach at prestigious universities, etc. However, you don't give away useful knowledge for free. TV is the illusion of educating you, but in reality the goal is to manipulate you, not educate. Why do wise men utter vain knowledge, it is to manipulate you. For example, the Jim Kramer show is about investing. If the powers that be want to sell a stock at a high price they will get a "wise man" to give a whole bunch of reasons why you should buy this stock, it is all knowledge, but it is vain, because the most important reason why you should not buy it but rather sell it, that they don't tell you. So when Esau asks "should a wise man utter vain knowledge" you assume the answer is no, but Esau (TV, radio, Hollywood, all the story tellers) has figured out why he should. You would think that the answer to "should he fill his belly with the east wind" would also be no. But the east wind, instead of bringing rain, will suck up the water off the earth. The rich realize that being rich is simply taking money from the earth and putting it into their pocket. That is why they use the East wind. This is what the mainstream media is, an East wind. They seem to be bringing you knowledge but it is vain, they seem to be bringing you rain but in fact they are looking to dry you out of any water you have.

3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?

This is what they do, they reason with unprofitable talk. Why would you do that? Because you want those listening to be incapable of critical thinking. What happens to someone who listens to speeches that can do no good? In America we used to have simple reading books that taught our children how to read that were Bible stories. Everyone loved them and Americans grew up learning to read and loving to read. But then they replaced them with insipid and vapid readers called "Dick and Jane". These did not teach kids to love reading, on the contrary they taught them to hate reading. If you want to pick the pockets of Americans you need them uneducated and to do that you need to teach them from a young age to hate reading. Once again, you listen to Esau and you would think the answer is no, we shouldn't reason with unprofitable talk. But he is crafty, he teaches those in the world to do that so that he can pick their pocket.

4 Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.

This is Hollywood, this is the grammies, this is day time TV. Go back to the early days of the cinema and you can see they had a fear of God and His people. They were afraid to offend. But little by little they cast off fear. Soon what used to be rated X is common TV. Meanwhile they restrain prayer. If Tucker Carlson prays on TV he is fired. If some actor or actress professes faith in Jesus they are fired. Behind the scenes if you want to advance in Hollywood you must worship Moloch and Baal and sell your birthright for a pot of beans.

5 For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.

This is what Hollywood does. The movies utter their iniquity. They are filled with murder, violence, vengeance, hate, lies, deceit, fornication, adultery, cheating, and every evil thing. However, they are very crafty. When I watch an old movie I am struck by how "slow" it is. The newer movies move at a very fast clip, they understand that people have a very limited focus, the writers are very good at their craft. No one should underestimate them, they can hold your attention for 90 minutes and never let go despite the entire thing being a big nuthing burger, vanity, a waste of time, useless.

6 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.

So then if that is the case, why did you watch it? If you condemn what they are doing you condemn yourself because hey, you paid money and went to see that movie. You spent hours watching that news show. Ask yourself, when you appear before the throne of judgement are you going to regret not having spent more time watching TV? On the contrary I have heard many testimonies about how getting rid of the TV was the beginning of someones salvation. It marked a turning point in their life.

7 Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?

For Jesus the answer is yes. This is also how the TV talks, the minute you want to challenge what Fauci says or what some talking head says, then "who are you"? Do you really think you are smarter than the experts? The answer of course is no, I'm not, but Jesus is. Therefore I need to turn to Jesus.

8 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?

The Bible is the secret of God. The Bible is a testament, it is a legal document detailing our inheritance. The fact that we are children of God and look to inherit wealth that cannot be fathomed, that is the secret. In Christ we are far superior to those talking heads, that is the secret. You might think that is impossible, I am an idiot. That is how God keeps this secret, he takes people that you could never imagine being anything and He puts this treasure in earthen vessels.

9 What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?

I know who Esau is, he is the guy who sold his birthright and gave up his inheritance. He is miserable and misery loves company. He wants to prove that everyone is as big a loser as he is.

10 With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.

This is true. With those who have sold their birthright are elders and grayheads every bit as much as with those who walk the narrow road by faith.

11 Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?

This is one thing that Hollywood and the elites like to do. They will mock the Bible, and Jesus, but at the same time they want to boast that they know everything that we do. Why do you think all these apocalyptic movies about the end times and the rapture are in Hollywood. They talk more about the book of Revelation than pastors and preachers do.

12 Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,

13 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?

They attack Christians because we reject their movies, their stories, their TV, everything. Why? Because we know it is poison. At best it is a waste of time, at worse it is putting damaging things into your brain that will haunt you and open you up to demonic attack.

14 What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

Listen to this self justification. We talk about the filth and unrighteousness in movies and TV and they justify this saying they are showing the real case. It is true to life. If you set your mind on the flesh it will kill you, and that is what they are doing. It is like a snake bite that anesthetizes you while the poison enters your system.

15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.

We have heard this as well. Hey the church, and pastors, and Christians are all sinners. If you want to make a movie about a cult, or a crooked pastor, or anything that will portray the church as being unclean Hollywood will be all in on that. That is why they made "Jesus Christ, Superstar!"

The Secret of Esau, continued

16 How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?

Hollywood movies and these TV shows that people binge are "iniquity". These ones who are binging on these shows are "drinking iniquity like water". This is the drug dealers argument, "hey, I'm just providing what people want". If no one went to see these movies they wouldn't make them. It is like a drug addict, the more you take the drug the higher your tolerance and so the higher dose you need to get your fix. During the pandemic we discovered this. I had an extra 90 minutes a day because I didn't need to commute to and from work. That gave me some serious time to get into the word. However, most people used this time to binge watch TV.

17 I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;

18 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:

19 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.

Once again, this is what Hollywood promises. You have all kinds of shows promising to reveal all kinds of secrets. Mythbusters was one example, shows about UFOs were another, likewise with the illuminati, or with the occult. You get to see what it is like in the Whitehouse, or in the CIA, or in a spaceship, or submarine, etc.

20 The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.

Almost all movies show the bad guy losing and the good guy winning.

21 A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.

You get to cheer as the bad guy loses, whether it is some killer robot from the future, or some weird matrix created by AI.

22 He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.

23 He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

They love the suspense, you know it is about to happen. Esau understands what makes man tick, his goal is to pick your pocket and then when you realize you have been deceived, so say, "hey, you knew you were being deceived, this was your choice".

24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

You will be caught unprepared. One day you wake up, the battle is upon you and you realize you just wasted twenty years when you could have been preparing for this.

25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.

That is the deception, you can stretch out your hand against God. If you actually understood what was coming you would realize God is great and you are not, and you need to confess, repent, and get right with God. Instead you chose to live in a fantasy world until it was too late.

26 He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:

27 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.

Yep, fat, lazy Americans sitting around and watching TV all day are easy pickings for an army.

28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.

Look at how lonely Americans have become sitting in some lonely living room, it's night and that idiot box is on, mesmerizing them.

29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.

How many people got rich from watching tv? 0? How many got poor from watching tv? Hundreds of millions.

30 He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.

They sit in that darkness while they wither up. Like a plant.

31 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.

People who spend hours every day watching TV and movies trust in vanity and vanity will be their recompence.

32 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.

33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.

34 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

The congregation of hypocrites are those who come on Sunday morning and worship the Lord and make beautiful prayers, and then spend the rest of the week watching TV and movies.

35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.

Romans 13 -- Advice for fulfilling the law

1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

When George Floyd died it sparked all kinds of riots and looting, yet now we know that he died of a drug overdose and there was no physical evidence from the coroner that the policeman kneeling on him killed him. We also know that his behavior from the drugs was why he had to be restrained in the first place. However, despite all that we also saw Chauvin's depraved lack of concern for a man dying while he kneeled on him for 9 minutes and so he was convicted of murder. What did the rioting and looting accomplish? After January 6 there were many accusations against the people in the Trump rally that they were dangerous rioters and insurrectionists. We now know that only about 8% of those arrested were in fact Trump supporters. The rest that were arrested had ties to various extremist groups, both Antifa and White supremacists groups, but not pro Trump. There were an estimated 1 million people there and so 99.9% of the people were not arrested. We heard from AOC how she felt threatened even though she was half a mile away in a different building. We heard that the rioters bludgeoned a cop to death, which was exposed as a lie. They changed the lie to say he died from being exposed to Bear Spray and yet refuse to provide even the slightest evidence that this is true. When the death certificate came out we learned he died of a stroke unrelated to the January 6th event. It doesn’t matter what side of the political aisle you are on, wait for the facts, be subject to the governing authorities. If you jump to some kind of snap conclusion to justify criminal behavior you will be fighting against God and will be put to shame.

2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

There were those who were outraged at the hypocrisy and unrighteousness of this last impeachment. It violated the US constitution. Rebelling against the constitution is rebelling against God who instituted it. Now we see judgement being brought on those who tried to bring judgement on others. The only charge that seemed to really matter was what they did when they knew the capital was under threat. Pelosi is responsible for that security. She was the one who had inadequate security and she is the one who is responsible for rejecting additional security.

3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.

Recently the threats were made that they wanted to count all those who attended Trump’s rally as participating in insurrection. They were going to banks and credit card companies to see who rented a room and who bought gas in the vicinity. But now we know that of the hundreds of thousands of people at that rally (estimated at 1.5 million) there might have been less than ten who violated the law by trespassing in the Capital. The vast majority of those involved in the riot did not attend the rally. Not only so, but none of them were guilty of murder as was originally suggested. To hold a public protest that is peaceful is a constitutional right in this country. Despite the threats you can be free from fear.

4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.

In a bizarre twist some of the nominees to Biden’s cabinet and administration have claimed that the riot at the capital rises to the level of domestic terrorism but attacking, burning, and destroying other government properties done by Antifa this last year doesn’t. Why? Because those riots were at night. Obviously that logic is absurd and sure enough 71% of Americans now view Antifa as domestic terrorists. The other 29% responded that they were clueless as to who Antifa is. Since this country is a “Democratic Republic” the will of the rulers is supposed to express the will of the people.

5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

That’s right, don’t even try to come up with some scriptural excuse for why you don’t need to submit. Lebron James and the NBA need to apologize. They incited a riot in Wisconsin and are now paying the price. They may not be prosecuted in a criminal court but they have already been convicted in the court of public opinion. Ratings have plummeted since their behavior. For example the ratings at the Golden Globes were down 64% from a year ago despite the fact that people have been locked up in their homes, are bored out of their minds, and have nothing better to do than watch it. But people are not interested in listening to these people preaching to them because they know they are hypocrites. CNN's ratings are down 90%. The Olympics had horrible ratings.

6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

They are trying to legalize abortion right up until birth. They also want our tax dollars to pay for abortions worldwide. Once again I feel this is a heinous sin. But we have heard many heinous things from our elected officials and I have to believe that they are not the ones in charge but God is. We have seen time and time again that elected representatives are caught and dealt with when they commit crimes. Jonathan Cahn shared many fascinating parallels to the legalization of abortion in America which started in NY with the Covid pandemic which arrived 50 years later to the day with patient 0, and then NY was shut down 50 years to the day after they legalized abortion, and during the pandemic they estimated 1.3 million excess deaths, the same number of abortions that they estimated took place from NY legalizing abortion until Roe v. Wade ruling. If this is God's judgement does that mean we will soon have 60 million Americans die because of the 60 million abortions since Roe v. Wade?

Love Fulfills the Law

8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.

Right now the love of the many has grown cold. The silver lining of this is that showing love to one another and to your neighbor will shine even brighter against this black background.

9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

You don’t actually fulfill the law simply by “not doing something”. You fulfill the law by loving your neighbor as yourself. It doesn’t matter if they agree with your politics, it doesn’t even matter if they have ridiculed and insulted you.

The Day Is Near

11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

All these things that you are seeing happen that are outrageous, or absurd, these things are there to wake you up.

12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.

Behind the injustice and illogical behavior are people living in the flesh. Carousing, drunkenness, sexual immorality and debauchery are all reasons that some people will go to great lengths to cover up and hide their behavior. The Lincoln Project was a group that published the ugliest and nastiest attacks against Trump and the MAGA movement. Now we know that these ones were pedophiles. The attack was motivated because they were concerned that the Trump administration would do their job to uncover their sins and prosecute them.

14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.

Get dressed. The Lord has given you the wake up call, now it is time to clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ. Every day I want to have a testimony that I belong to Jesus, not simply because of the things I don’t do but even more because of the things that I do do.

1Thess 5:2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.

Prior to the tribulation beginning we have a period of unprecedented peace, safety, security, and prosperity. Many suggest that this verse was fulfilled when the USSR collapsed and the cold war ended.

Daniel 8:25 “Through his cunning He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; And he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity. He shall even rise against the Prince of princes; But he shall be broken without human means.

December 26, 1991 the USSR collapsed and this ushered in a period of peace and security and fabulous wealth. What is Christmas, it is a celebration of a thief in the night. Our Christmas present in 1991 was "peace and security" and it came like a thief in the night.

Think about how many have been destroyed by this prosperity. Once the USSR collapses Russian and Ukrainian mafia organizations flourished, human trafficking flourished, cable TV, idiot TV and binge watching flourished. People became set, settled and occupied and then you have the prosperity gospel and the LGBTQ+ community infiltrating the church and changing the word of God, adding to it and taking away from it.

Think about how deceitful this pandemic has been, the world is so full of lies and those that lie the best prosper, at this time we are seeing "deceit to prosper". The Biden victory was "deceit prospering". Pfizer made billions, that was deceit prospering. Today I saw a report that Hunter Biden is worth $250 million, that is deceit prospering.

Look at how much they have exalted themselves in their hearts, all these wokeistas thinking they are ruling like kings and queens.

This is where we are! The world said peace and security back in 1991, 30+ years ago. We have had astounding and unprecedented prosperity never before seen in human history. We have seen deceit prosper and the self exaltation of the fleshly.

The prosperity that we have seen these last 30 years man could only dream of. It was like the Dick Tracy and other science fiction shows just a few years ago. I always read the "then comes sudden destruction" as meaning it happens when they say it. However, it is a progression. USSR collapses, the world rejoices, puts their guard down, meanwhile Putin simmers with anger and all the losers like N. Korea, Venezuela and Iran plot with Putin on how to bring sudden destruction to the US. We think we are invincible, we have two oceans protecting us. But Putin figures out how to make our strength our weakness. He can fire poseidon torpedos and there is nothing we can do to stop them. 65% of the America lives within 5 miles of the coast and in a coordinated attack they will all be obliterated in a matter of minutes. Venezuela and Nicaragua figure out how to pour into the country with their soldiers so they are all in place to cause chaos and confusion at the exact same time. Russia has suitcase nukes that are in place in the US which we cannot stop either. Between the two they can cause the entire US power grid to go down at the same instant. Again, chaos and confusion. Also massive disruption to the communication network. Then with all the chaos, confusion, and pandemonium they fire missiles from the North Pole, Pacific and Atlantic. Shortly after this China lands with massive force and equipment to grab control of all the country. They might have 2 million soldiers on the ground prior to the attack, but afterwards they would need at least 20 million.

Revelation 6:2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

This is the context of this verse and why people will believe these promises.

It is like a rapid repeat of human history from the fall in the garden when we wanted "to be like God" and rejected God's word.

The Christians are preaching the gospel throughout the whole earth while Satan is spreading a corrupted, perverted gospel throughout the whole earth based on lies and deceit.

Pre Trib -- Mid Trib -- Post Trib? When is the rapture?

Matthew 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

I was a high school teacher in NYC. When I was a student I never worried about "graduation requirements". I assumed I come to school, pass my classes and I'll graduate. But when I became a teacher I discovered that behind the scenes a whole lot is going on. There are a number of requirements including passing enough classes. passing the right classes, and passing the Regent's exams. I also learned there are three different diplomas. The advanced Regent's diploma being the best. I also learned that sometimes it isn't the students that mess up but the administrators. My daughter was going to be the valedictorian of the school of 2,000 kids and they realized she wasn't going to get an advanced Regent's diploma, so that was embarrassing. They called me with this problem. The reason was because she had taken ten art classes and so they never gave her a foreign language class, you can't get an advanced Regents diploma without a foreign language. I asked if she could test out of this and they said yes. So I told them to give her the Chinese exam, she is fluent in Chinese. They had no idea! So much for know your students. Anyway she passed the Chinese exam and got her advanced diploma so in the end no problem. But suppose she had not been the valedictorian, would we ever have gotten that phone call? Nope, on graduation day we would learn she got a local diploma and then we would call up and complain, and then they would learn that we could have just taken that Chinese exam, but they would have told us it is too late now. I suspect the real reason we got the call was because they were planning to disqualify her.

However, some students do not pass their Regents exams and so they have summer school to help these kids to pass. Some kids fail the class too, so we have summer school for them as well. Some kids have "IEP's", individualized Education plans and for them they can get by with getting less than a 65 on one of these exams. Also, sometimes the principal will change the failing grade on a class to a passing grade. We do all these things for the children because it is better to have a "Local diploma" than no diploma. Then for kids who can't get everything they need by the time they are 21 we have night school and ultimately we have a GED program. These are all "good gifts" that we, being evil, give to our kids. With that in mind don't you think that our Father who is in heaven can give good gifts to those who ask Him?

Suppose someone is not ready to get raptured on time, the tribulation will be summer school. The thing about kids who graduate late, as soon as they have their requirements they graduate. They generally do not wait around for the next graduation ceremony. Yes there is plenty of Biblical evidence that there will be a pre tribulation rapture, but at the same time we are told for everyone that is taken there will be one that is left. There is also plenty of Biblical evidence that there will be Christians in the tribulation who get martyred and an innumerable number that get raptured out of the tribulation. So I look at the Pretribulation rapture as a reward, like those that win a medal at the olympics. Prior to graduation there is an award ceremony. We only invite the parents and students who have won an award. This is a very select group. Imagine if the rapture refers to that group, then during the tribulation there is a general harvest referring to all those who "graduate on time" and then after that you still have the "gleanings" those who are in "summer school" and finally those in the "GED program".

So for me the answer is all three: Pre trib, Mid Trib and Post Trib
