Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

No one knows the day or the hour.

So this may be a double entendre. I have shown from many different angles that the seventieth week for the Jews should begin on the Feast of Trumpets which has the nickname of "no one knows the day or the hour". So when the Jews asked the Lord "when" these thing would be and He said that it would explain why they didn't need to ask anymore questions. Same as if today we said it would be on turkey day that would be perfectly clear to any American.

However, the church is composed of the nations that do not understand this expression, so for them it may have had a completely different meaning. In the OT there were Holy Convocations, appointed feast days which were dress rehearsals for things to come. However, in the NT we are told clearly no one is to require us to keep these feasts, they are not dress rehearsals for us in the New Covenant which would further reenforce this word that Jesus crucifixion put all those OT regulations concerning sabbaths and holy days to death on the cross.

But this doesn't mean "no one will ever know". On the contrary there are several verses that would support the faithful followers of the Lord knowing prior to the rapture. Elijah, Elisha and all the prophets knew the day he was going to be taken. Abraham learned of the judgment that would fall on Sodom and Gomorrah beforehand. Jesus said it would be as the days of Lot. Noah knew a week before the flood it was time to enter the ark. So there are many examples that the Lord gave and in every one the people of God had a heads up.

However, the feasts are very important because they are a "shadow" of things to come. So for example on the 8th and 9th of Av you can see a picture of the rapture taking place right before the judgment on the apostasy. When Jesus was on the cross you can see the Spirit leaving Him prior to His death. We can imagine that refers to the rapture of the spirit filled believers from the Body of Christ leaving the tribulation saints behind to be in the grave, the three days of darkness, etc. We can learn a lot by looking at the feasts, but we are not required to keep them like clockwork because they are not a dress rehearsal of the day and hour.

So then we learn that when Jesus (typified by Moses) returns for his bride (typified by Moses coming down from the mountain) He will see the apostasy in full celebration of a satanic worship. He will break the marriage covenant with the apostate church, they will be judged and 3,000 will die. But the levitical priesthood will be called up. We can see both the judgment on the apostasy and the rapture. But worshiping Moloch was Israel's sin, not the churches. Christianity does have worship that is pagan. Christmas is pagan, Easter is pagan and of course Halloween is pagan. We can imagine if the Lord were to come during one of those three celebrations and find the churches involved then that would be bad. However, the Lord's coming ls likened to a thief in the night. Christmas is a morning celebration as is Easter. Christmas Eve is a worship ceremony of Jesus, not Santa. The only one of these three pagan holidays that is at night is Halloween. At the same time the body of Jesus is being put into the tomb we have all these demons, goblins, and evil creatures walking around in the street. The day before Halloween is called Mischief night, that is very much a celebration of a "thief in the night". After the rapture the Lord will make the synagogue of Satan come and worship at the feet of the church that is raptured, Philadelphia. Likewise the day after Halloween is All Saints day, the day to worship at the feet of the saints. The next day is "the day of the dead" the day to worship at the feet of the dead in Christ who rose first. These holidays belong to the Catholic church, they are the "synagogue of Satan" and the ones the Lord will make to come worship at the feet.

Some may think this is simply a coincidence. I would disagree, all things that have come into being have come into being through the word of God. Jesus Christ is the Body and these holidays are the shadow of things to come. It isn't just the holidays of the Old Testament. On the 9th of Av they were worshiping Moloch because that was a day to worship Moloch. Likewise, when Samson was brought into the temple and pushed out the pillars that was a day to worship in that temple to Baal. Jesus Christ is Lord of All, not just of Jews, He is Lord of All.

So then "no one knows the day or the hour" is true, at the time Jesus said this the Catholic church had not set up their holidays and the Celts had not set up Halloween and the US had not established Mischief night.

People say that the Lord is the same today, yesterday and forever. If He had dress rehearsals in the OT he'll have dress rehearsals in the NT and sure enough these are NT holidays for both the Catholic church and the pagans and the satanists. Yes, we have dress rehearsals today, just as we did back then, but we have NT dress rehearsals. The kids going out on Mischief night are doing a dress rehearsal of a thief in the night. The kids going out on Halloween are doing a dress rehearsal of the fallen angels being cast down to the Earth.

Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

I believe these verses tell us so much about the Lord's second coming, they reveal quite a bit.

27 They did eat, they drank,

Eating and drinking is not sinful. God created us so that we have to eat and drink, that is not the issue. The question is what are you eating and drinking? That is your choice. God made it this way. When the Lord appears are you in the word of God? Are you worshiping Him? Are you singing a hymn, or praying, or at a meeting or in fellowship with other saints? In Philippians Paul talks about "being found in Him". When the Lord comes will you be found in Him?

Or will you be found watching a football game, perhaps you are "tailgating". You may think this is "harmless fun". OK, but will you be ashamed to be found there? Maybe you are watching a movie, or watching TV. Again, harmless fun or are you ashamed to be found in that movie theater? When Moses came down from the mountain he found many of the Israelites caught up in the worship of Moloch. They were eating and drinking and then they rose up to play. That is how all idol worship is. Imagine you have some "Christian" and they are at a nightclub?

Compare this verse with "once saved always saved". The Lord is not saying He will come and find those who prayed twenty years ago, He is going to come and find out what you are choosing to eat and drink today, at this moment.

they married wives, they were given in marriage,

Marriage is not sinful, it is ordained by God. It not sinful to be giving your daughter in marriage or to be arranging a marriage, that is how Isaac was married. No, what we are warned about is to not be unequally yoked. When the Lord comes He will find many who are involved in a "marriage covenant". This is not simply referring to your husband or wife, but to your business partners. Many will tell you that there is nothing wrong with being in politics. OK, it is true the Lord told us to "occupy till He comes". But the question is are you unequally yoked? Politicians as a rule are "married and giving in marriage". They make all kinds of deals. They are essentially matchmakers. To be a politician and not be unequally yoked, that is the exception that makes the rule. When the Lord comes will you be found unequally yoked? You claim you are a child of the light and yet you are yoked to children of darkness. The fact that "everyone does it" is not going to justify you. When the Lord comes will you be found as you ought or will you be put to an open shame?

until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

Isn't it interesting how everyone can justify themselves, everyone has an excuse. Yet Noah was there in the town building the ark. You knew about that, you thought that was OK, your insurance policy. You will enjoy the world, have fun, go to the games, go to the parties, and make all the profitable deals. You are no fool, not like that Jesus freak Noah. But just in case, you are friendly to him. Not so much that anyone would think you were a freak, but enough so that you view the ark as a contingency plan just in case Noah is right. The problem is that you will be eating and drinking at one of these games when Noah enters the ark. You will be cutting some big deal when Noah enters the ark. The Lord is not going to allow anyone who treats Him as a backup plan "just in case" to get on that ark.

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

This is very interesting and even clearer. "They" did eat, they drank". Who is"they"? The people of Sodom and Gomorrah. You know, the ones in the mob outside Lot's house who wanted to rape his guests. Who exactly are you hanging out with? The Bible says corrupt friends will corrupt good morals. Also, just in case you decided to interpret "married and given in marriage" in the most narrow way possible, the Lord makes it quite clear here. "They bought, they sold". Is that a sin? It can be. I was a stock broker, I am actually quite good at evaluating investments and choosing "winners". But I got out of it. I realized if I bought bonds that what you are really doing is loaning money to that entity. As such you are required to do your due diligence because the very act of buying or selling the bonds makes you accountable. The US has a $35 trillion debt and they make about $4.5 trillion a year in tax revenue. So your job is to determine how much you expect the US will make over the next ten years and what that will do to the debt. Are they able to responsibly carry that debt or not? But you are also responsible to know what they are doing with that money. If you are complaining about the corruption the minute you become a bond holder it is not simply their corruption but yours as well. You are funding it. You are now unequally yoked with the kingdom of darkness. But how about index funds. Seems like the best idea for a small investor, but the companies that manage these funds like Blackrock use the fact that they are the biggest share holders of many companies to get on the board of directors of those companies. You are funding the very heart of the kingdom of darkness. What about buying stocks? In this latest correction with Japan the one stock that did very well was Lockheed Martin. Yes, if you want to invest in WW3 you can make money. It is not that hard to evaluate investments and make money if you don't have to consider the ramifications, but if you do not want to be unequally yoked, that is a very different thing. I can see that AI is the next big thing, I can see that there are certainly investment opportunities. But then you will be unequally yoked with the Beast system prophesied of in the Bible. When the Lord comes do you really want to be one of the owners of the beast system that is making the mark of the Beast? Then He says "they planted, they builded". This is the ultimate, you always hear about someone at the end of their life wishing they built something or talking about how they planted these trees sixty years ago and now they are so grand. Building up the Beast system is a huge accomplishment of fallen man. It requires the space program and satellite communications, it requires quantum computers another amazing achievement, it requires RFID technology, telecommunications, and involves the very pinnacle of science and engineering. But when the Lord returns Sodom and Gomorrah is incinerated to ash. It is just like Paul said, we must go through the fire. We can be saved and yet suffer loss. These things you are building and planting, are they going to go through the fire? Noah was building an ark because he saw the coming judgment and was building something that would pass through that judgment and he also saw what was important (people and domesticated animals) and he wanted that to survive. Everything else could be washed away. So what about you, are you planting and building with that judgment in mind or simply doing what the world is pushing?

29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Lot was saved, he went out of Sodom, but everything he had been building and planting was burned up except for his two daughters. But then that led to the Ammonites and Moabites, two cursed peoples. We can be saved with a blessing or we can be saved with a curse. Your choice.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Make no mistake, the Lord is the one who has created this world with these choices. He has placed them before you and He knows your heart. He knows if you have compromised with the world or if you are fully consecrated to Him.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR COMING DEMONIC DECEPTIONS

32 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

This is a picture of the apostasy, as we can see it doesn't come in immediately, rather it comes after Moses (typifying Jesus) has been up in the mountain for a long time. This is a temptation of Satan, just as Jesus was tempted after fasting and praying for 40 days. Jesus was asked why His disciples don't Fast and He said they would when the Bridegroom was taken from them. So this is similar to Jesus being tempted after fasting in the wilderness for forty days. We can see the three temptations of Satan help us understand the apostasy. The Prosperity gospel, turning these stones to bread, making merchandise of the saints, the Living Stones, that is the first temptation. Casting yourself down off the roof of the temple, cult like behavior, that would be the second temptation. The third is when they actually worship Satan in order to "rule the world". This is where we see Freemasons infiltrating mega churches and Christian music so that only those who worship Satan can get those positions.

2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.

This is the prosperity gospel.

3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

He "fashions" the gold into an idol. This is what Peter says about the False prophets, they fabricate phony baloney stories for the purpose of making merchandise of people, even denying the Lord who purchased us. This is what Aaron has done here, fabricated a phony salvation story denying the Lord's redemption.

5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the Lord.

This is the worship of this idol, the worship of Satan. This worship is not to the Lord it is to this idol, so we are talking about a "feast to Satan".

6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

So then let's apply this story to Church history. Late in church history, after the "40 years of fasting" in typology we had several feasts instituted. Christmas became a federal holiday in 1870, so this is obviously not something that was celebrated from the beginning. The expense in celebrating Christmas like buying a tree, lights, etc. That would be a burnt offering and the presents that are given that would be a peace offering. You sit eat and drink breakfast and then you rise up to play with your toys.

7 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

Then in the 20th century Halloween became a principal holiday in the US. This could not be a principal holiday without the christians corrupting themselves with it.

8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

Halloween and Christmas are two holidays that drive the economy. Setting up a molten calf and saying that led us is something the government does, it isn't a real ox pulling a plow, it is representative. If we can get 360 million Americans buying candy then we will establish US candy makers worldwide and this will help them dominate the industry. Same thing with toy makers. Same thing with many other retail outlets selling stuff in the off season. They try to do this with other holidays as well. July 4th, St. Patrick's day, etc. but with very limited success.

So then we can definitely see the rapture foreshadowed n this event, but Halloween and Christmas seem to be the NT fulfillment of what happened with Israel in the Wilderness.

The molten calf is a symbol we see on Wall Street and represents a bull market. Stock brokers are frequently trying to "pump up" stocks and get people to buy them. For the church to be involved in this and think that our economy is what has brought us through the wilderness is a grave insult to the Lord.

When you talk to Christians about the pagan roots of Christmas and Halloween you get a number of dodges. For example -- Christmas celebrates the incarnation of Jesus and Christians have done that for the entire church age. This conflates two different issues, no one is saying that celebrating the Lord's incarnation is a pagan practice, the issue is with a Christmas tree, Christmas wreath, Star on the tree, other idols hanging from the tree, Santa, flying reindeer, elves, and of course celebrating this not when Jesus was born but when a type of the Antichrist was born.

As far as Halloween goes some think this is an opportunity to share the gospel? Others think the verse that "all things are permissible" gives them permission to celebrate this.

This is similar to Aaron declaring this is a feast to the Lord. Aaron does not give us any word of the Torah, but this. Which is exactly what the apostate pastors do. They declare that these holidays are in fact an opportunity for the Church to have a feast to the Lord.

On the 8th of Av Joshua and Caleb gave their report and then in the evening as we got into the 9th of Av we heard the evil report from the other ten spies.

So what is the evil report? Giants that will eat us up.

Do we have a dress rehearsal where the spirit of death (the raven that Noah released) goes to and fro throughout the earth, knocking on every door?

Do we have a dress rehearsal where they are giving an evil report about giants eating us up?

Do we have a dress rehearsal that starts in the evening like this?

During Halloween they do go to and fro throughout the land, they do start at night, and the monsters do threaten to "eat us up" saying "trick or treat". There is no other holiday that has this practice.

Moses came down from the mountain and broke the ten commandments and called the Levites up. This is a shadow of the judgement on the apostate church. It is like Jesus coming down, rapturing up the priesthood and judging the apostates.

In church history the closest thing to this is when Martin Luther posted his 95 theses to the door of the church in Wittenburg, that was on October 31.

This led to the Protestant movement.

Consider these verses on apostasy and Halloween

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.

The man of lawlessness is revealed after the rapture. That indicates he is wearing a mask at the time of the rapture, just like on Halloween. He is doomed to destruction just like all the ones depicted on Halloween (vampires, monsters, witches, etc).

1Timothy 4:1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.

What holiday would depict everyone following deceiving spirits better than Halloween? There are churches that teach it is an opportunity to preach the gospel by participating in this holiday. That is a good example of a hypocritical liar.

Hebrews 3:12 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.

Hebrews 6:4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

Subjecting the Lord ot public disgrace. This could refer to a pastor caught up in a scandal, but I would think a church that is celebrating Halloween or Santa would be a much closer fulfillment of this word.

2Peter 2:20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. 22 Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”

A fitting description of the Christians who are now celebrating Halloween, they are like dogs returning to their vomit.

2Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths

Look at the costumes the kids wear, everyone depicts a myth. It could be a superhero, or from a Disney movie, or a horror film.

Our Father Will Help Us REMEMBER The Rapture Through His Appointed Times ⏲️ 🤔 ❤💭

And they remembered his words,

1. to remind
2. 1. to be recalled or to return to one's mind, to remind one's self of, to remember
   2. to be recalled to mind, to be remembered, had in remembrance
   3. to remember a thing
   4. be mindful of

The rapture will be used to cause all those who are left behind to remember the Lord's words.


Matthew 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest G3415 that thy brother hath ought against thee;

Some will be left behind because of they didn't deal with the things that others had against them. When they are left behind then they will remember. We have an expression "being left at the altar" for someone who was going to get married and they wound up standing at the altar all alone. This is what it will be like for many who are left behind and you can be sure it is because of sins they didn't deal with.

Matthew 26:75 And Peter remembered G3415 the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Think of Peter as representing the left behind saints. They denied the Lord three times. Remember the expression "it is one, two, three strikes you're out in the old ball game".

Matthew 27:63 Saying, Sir, we remember G3415 that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

Even the antichrist and the unbelievers will remember the word of God. I think this is why they live stream the two witnesses lying dead in the street for three days. Everyone worldwide knows about the rapture and they don't trust the authorities. They want to see for themselves.

Luke 24:6 He is not here, but is risen: remember G3415 how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

Luke 24:8 And they remembered G3415 his words,

This is the point of the rapture. People will remember.

John 2:22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered G3415 that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

People can mock, they can dismiss, but when the rapture happens then they will remember.

John 12:16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they G3415 that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

They don't just remember the Lord's word, they remember these things were written of Him and that they had done these things unto Him.

You were told that some would be taken and some left. You were told that those left behind will be cast into outer darkness. You were told that the demons knew when the time was. You were told that Satan was a copycat. Jeremiah told you that this event takes place when summer ends. Everything will change from sunny and green to cold and barren. Amos told you that God would change your feasts to mourning. Not His feasts, but your feasts. Halloween is clearly not His feast. Amos told you that He would turn all your songs into lamentation. The only time the radio is filled with "our songs" is from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Those Christmas songs are turned to lamentations as for an only son. You knew that Halloween was a harvest festival marking the end of summer. You were told that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night and that Halloween is preceded by Mischief night. He told you that He would make the synagogue of Satan to come and worship before the feet of the raptured saints and Nov 1 is All Saints day and Nov 2 is the day of the dead. You were told that the Antichrist would be revealed after the rapture and you were told that December 25th is the birthday of a Babylonian god who is a type of the Antichrist. You were told that Hanukkah is when the Jews stood against Antiochus Epiphanes, a type of the antichrist, and in 2024 December 25 is Hanukkah. You were told that the ministry of the two witnesses will begin at this time and last for 42 months which would take them to Shavuot in 2028, a very significant day for all Jews. You were told that no one knows the day or the hour indicating that it does not take place on one of the OT appointed feasts. However, you were also told that you were to watch and if you didn't you would be caught by surprise indicating that if you had watched you would have known the day. You were told that the best shadow of the rapture was when Moses broke the ten commandments, and the best picture of that in the church age is when Martin Luther nailed 95 theses to the church door on October 31.

You were told that Jesus begins His ministry by being baptized, the spirit coming upon Him, and then He fasts for forty days. Only then is He tempted and after that begins His ministry. The spirit steps aside at the rapture and if you are left behind you can expect to go through the same 40-50 day period. I am assuming the best day for the Antichrist to be revealed is December 25 as that is also the best day for those who stand against him since it is also Hanukkah. If we go 50 days before December 25 we come to Nov 5. This would work with all the other points made.

Imagine October 30-Nov 2 is when the rapture takes place, judgement falls on the US, and the tribulation saints are cast out into three days of outer darkness. Then on November 3 they come together on the Lord's day, get baptized, and begin a period of 40-50 days of fasting, praying and seeking the Lord. During this time all the Christmas songs playing help these ones to remember.

The ones who need to remember are the ones who have forgotten, the tribulation saints. Some will remember that they were partaking of the tables of demons. There won't be any thanksgiving so that day will help them remember what they lost.
