The Lord’s table is our Holy Convocation, and all that that implies
Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
The gospels lay out for us what this Holy Convocation is in a very precise way. Jesus flipped the tables of the money changers in the temple. He didn’t do that in Wall Street, or in Babylon, He did that in the church. You need to take a very clear stand against turning the church into a house of merchandise. Jesus told the fig tree to never bear fruit again as it was barren when He came looking for the fruit of righteousness. In the same way we must declare the judgments of God on this mountain known as human government. The fig tree is not a national symbol for Israel. If God says “my Fig tree” then yes, that is referring to Israel, but in general the fig tree points to Adam and Eve sinning in the garden and refers to sinful man as a whole. Human government is a fig tree, and has grown into a great big mountain that must be cast into the sea. Jesus was examined and tested and taught in the temple. Then He instituted the Lord’s table from the Passover dinner. This is like changing the water to wine. All the Old Testament verses were made new. He was arrested, monkey trial, mocked, scourged, and crucified. Then buried and laid in the tomb for three days. After that He rose in glory. This is what we must do in the church age, if you refuse, then after the rapture you will be left behind to be arrested, tried, mocked, scourged, crucified, dead and buried all during the first half of the seven year tribulation.
Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Every single believer is given the option to deny themselves. You can pursue money and all that the world has to offer or you can pursue the Lord. If you pursue the Lord absolutely you will have to deny yourself. You don’t need to convince me, it is the Lord who knows whether or not you denied yourself and took up your cross and followed Him or not.
Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
This is about a rich man who wanted to know what he must do to inherit eternal life. This is like asking what must I do to be raptured. Every single one of us that takes up our cross and follows the Lord must sell many things that are precious to us. I know that many try to say that this does not apply to everyone, just to this person. In principle it applies to everyone. Paul said the things that he counted as gain, those he counted as loss that he might gain Christ. There is no way to pursue the Lord absolutely without having to count all the things other than Christ that we counted as gain as loss.
Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Every single day you have an opportunity to deny yourself. For example, when you read the Bible you are denying yourself, you should be doing that every day. When you go to a meeting for prayer or fellowship you are denying yourself. When you go to serve at the soup kitchen you are denying yourself.
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
This is the last verse in the New Testament that mentions the cross. We have a hope that is set before us and the only way to get there is to take the way of the cross. That is our holy convocation, that is our dress rehearsal. This is what we are told to keep in the New Testament. No believer is required to keep the Lord’s feasts in the Old Testament, but you are required to take up your cross and follow the Lord. You are given very specific outline of what that means and it is much more specific than any Old Testament Feast day.

God has done something that is quite brilliant.
The dead sea scroll calendar is exactly 52 weeks of seven days. That is 364 days, which is obviously less than a full year. So what happens over time is that the calendar gets flipped. Imagine you have the Lord Jesus dancing with the Bride of Christ. The original calendar gives you the perspective from the Lord Jesus, but over time your perspective will flip to that of the Bride of Christ. In this way when Jesus says "it will be as the days of Noah" it will be, but not from God's perspective, from the Bride's perspective. For example, the flood in Noah's time took place in the middle of the spring, but in 2023 on this Dead Sea Scroll calendar it has flipped to be the middle of the Fall. In 2023 October 31 was the anniversary of the flood on this calendar. In 2024 it would be October 30th.
We all understand this. We have a birthday and that day defines the year for us, but not for anyone else. It makes sense that God would have a calendar for Jesus and a calendar for the Bride of Christ. Ken Johnson on Biblefacts.org explains this Dead Sea Scroll Calendar.
So then, what does the anniversary of the flood do? It reminds us that God will not always tolerate sin.
Now let's compare the fact that God is absolute when it comes to dealing with sin with the crucifixion of Christ. We begin the cross of Christ with the Lord's table and we conclude the cross of Christ with the Lord's table. It is like a bone, the Lord's table is a bone, and the contents of that bone is the marrow. God will not tolerate sin, Jesus' blood cleanses us from sin, and hidden within this bone we have the source of that blood. Jesus poured out His blood on the cross, just as the marrow is doing within that bone. But Paul said that we fill up that which is lacking in the suffering of Christ.
Colossians 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
The body of Christ is commanded to take up their cross and follow the Lord and that means that like Jesus did they are now pouring out their blood to deal with sins.
But this is what the rapture will do, it will divide asunder soul from spirit.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
When you split the Lord's table you get the one that was celebrated on the fourth day of the week and the one that is celebrated on the first day of the week. Those who are raptured are taken on the fourth day of the week and those who are left behind experience the death and resurrection and celebrate this on the first day of the week.

Do not be foolish
People assume that if a "prophecy" comes true that this is proof the person is a prophet. This is a misunderstanding of the Bible. If a prophecy does not come true where a person said "thus saith the Lord" and the Lord did not say, that is proof the person is a false prophet. But the opposite is not true. Suppose someone bribed an official to make sure one team won and then predicts that team will win. The prediction coming true is not evidence that God spoke through them, it is evidence that they are a cheat. What the Bible says is if a prophecy comes true and this "prophet" teaches you to worship other gods then they are a false prophet.
We don't identify a prophet based on a prediction coming true. Think how foolish that is. One technique among stock brokers is to send out eighty letters to prospects, half predicting a stock would go up and half predicting it would go down. A month later they send out forty letters to the people that got the correct prediction doing the same thing with a second stock and a month after that they send out a third letter to the twenty people who got two right predictions and a month after that they call the ten people who got three right predictions to open accounts.
No, we identify a prophet based on whether their prophecy helps us to worship God. Think about Jonah, he told the Ninevites that God would destroy Ninevah. But the prophecy was not "there is nothing you can do about it, you are all going to hell". No, the prophecy was to repent. They repented, they humbled themselves before God and so God relented. Are you going to stone Jonah? No, because a few hundred years later God did destroy Nineveh. How stupid to judge Jonah on whether or not it came true because by the time it did come true everyone was dead already. Instead, I don't have to wait a few hundred years, does this prophecy lead me to worship Jesus Christ, Lord of heaven and earth? Yes or no. Does this prophet cause God the father's name to be hallowed?

Prophetic Dreams & Visions from My Lovely Jesus
Be it According to Your Faith Dream 10-26-23 @ 8:37 AM I dreamed again that we were in a massive spiritual battle. One that when the children of God prayed in their prayers verses from the Word of God our spiritual attacks showed up as physical objects and weapons in the sky and battlefield. My son and I are under some bushes hiding as weapons are exploding in the air above some of our fellow brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ's name. The warfare is intense on this battlefield in the spiritual realm but now appearing to my son and my eyes as physical attacks. We are observing them safely from our hiding spot in the trees and bushes. In this dream I had the understanding we were there to observe, but I see he is also watching on an electronic tablet of sorts the battle in the sky. After each weapon was launched it then exploded into whatever that was sent. You could see its called forth effects of what it changed into from the Word of God and into actual physical weapons. So, for example the Bible talks about the Arrows of the Lord and if they were calling out the scripture, quoting that scripture with Arrows of the Lord and or saying the Arrows of the Lord then we were seeing actual Arrows of the Lord forming. That's what was happening in this dream. Suddenly as my son was looking at the tablet I looked down to see a weapon form in the sky. It was a formidable weapon that exploded with great power causing a devastating blow to the enemy's forces. Then it exploded six more times smaller in bomb-type explosions in the sky that seemed delayed. Then shot out to strike other targets it had been spoken to attack in Jesus Christ's Name. So instead of being just one big explosion after the first went off it then became six more explosions. With each of those smaller in size being just as deadly, making a total of seven bomb-like attacks by praying one fervent, aggressive prayer in faith. My son paused the video even though the battle still rages that's playing on the tablet screen and excitedly points to the seven bomb-like attack that originated as one. “Did you see that Mom? Did you see that?” He asked in a rush. “Yes, I did,” I replied. “Mom, Mom, I need that! We need that weapon. How do our forces have a weapon I don't know about?” “Alex, son it may be just one individual who has learned the value of prayer and using the Word of God in battle in prayer.” “Mom, Mom, I need that! How do I get hold of this weapon?” He spoke quickly. “With this type of weapon we can do more massive attacks to lucifer, to satan… the whole kingdom of darkness!” “Son,” I replied, “it's already available to us in this battle for man's souls and our survival. Look closer. Enlarge the picture then watch it again.” My son followed my instructions and enlarged the picture to get a better close-up view of what was happening. “It's not like fireworks we have,” he said. We could see it wasn't seven different bomb attacks but only one. It's one big faith believing, prayer attacks having been prayed in Jesus Christ's Name!” (Let me say that again. “It's one big faith believing prayer attacks having been prayed in Jesus Christ's Name!) It originated out of nowhere it seemed in the sky as one big massive glowing type ball of Holy Fire. Sort of circular in its shape which is why to us, when it was smaller it looked like a type of bomb. But when it exploded it erupted in the middle of the air obliterating all in its path. Then next instead of this weapon of Holy Fire evaporating. Or forming into debris and ashes that would normally occur and fall to the ground after it had exploded, all the original pieces returned to the first shape. Then it divided itself into six individual fiery-type circular shaped weapons like the larger one. Their explosion when the attacks were made were massive. Each one causing much damage. Until the video pictures were enlarged it couldn't be seen how it was one original weapon used seven times in total. This is because the attack also was so very fast and very precise. “Did you see that?” My son asked in awe then he let out a low whistle. He started pecking the screen of the tablet with his right pointer finger as he said excitedly. “Mom, we need this weapon. I've never seen such a weapon. How do we get it?” “You have it already son,” I replied. Then I lifted up my hand, my right hand showing him a Holy Bible I had been apparently holding the whole time. It's right here. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal son. You know this. They are spiritual. But this weapon you have seen is simply a prayer of unshakable faith in the Word of God prayed by someone who understands the power inside it and the Name of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. You want to launch weapons like this upon our enemy heads then you can and your attacks will be according to how you believe. Be it according to your faith, son. If you believe in faith your attacks can damage the enemy through your prayers in the Word of God in Jesus Christ's Name, then they will. But the catch is how much damage do you believe one prayer can do? How much faith do you truly have in the power of our wonderful God? The Word of God and the Name that Father God has given to His Son Jesus Christ. When one of His children pray in faith, believing as His Word says. “Nothing is impossible for him to do.” That all power, meaning all power that existed from the beginning, in the present, and still to come which is the future is in His Name Jesus Christ, that’s it’s already obtained inside of it then the power of your prayer and your attack against the enemy will be according to the size of your faith in your Savior and His Word. You want a weapon like this then you have to pray effectively. You have to believe without doubt your prayers are powerful. More powerful than you can comprehend because you pray them in faith in Jesus Christ's Name. More powerful than all our enemies combined. He will meet you at the point of your faith. If you believe your prayers can form one attack against the enemy's forces but not against many attacks then from your prayer …..from the point of your faith in Jesus Christ to hear and answer your prayer… one prayer will be a formidable weapon that will take out one enemy's attack. But not the others. Be it according to your faith, Son. A person who believes in Jesus Christ has unlimited power in their prayers. And Holy Spirit will teach you and lead you how to pray effectively if you will let Him lead. But again, if you only have enough faith in Jesus Christ to defeat one attack when you could defeat more through Him, He will meet you at your faith point and stop there in most instances honoring your prayers… your point or level of faith. This is until your faith grows more in His abilities as your Savior, King, Lord, Deliverer, and in the power of His Name. Be it according to your faith, son. You want to launch massive attacks in one fervent, effectual prayer then you can if you believe in faith without doubting in what you have prayed and the power of your Savior through His all powerful Name Jesus Christ. It's possible son, very possible but again be it according to your faith and no one else's. Then I awoke. Verses James 1:6; Hebrew 10:23: 11:1; 6; 4:12, Jeremiah 23:29, Ephesians 6:17; Matthew 9:29; 16:19; 17:20; 21:21; Revelation 1:18; Philippians 2:9-11; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5; 1 Chronicles 16:11; Luke 17:5-6; 1 Corinthians 2:5; Romans 10:17; John 14:112-14; 2 Timothy 1:7; James 5:16; Philippians 4:6, 1 John 5:14-16; John 15:17; Jeremiah 29:12 Now I ask that you pray, try, and test this in Jesus Christ’s Name.
Precision
This is a lesson I taught in HS science class. If I divide 2 by 3 I get 0.67 but if you use a calculator you could get 0.66667. However, such a measurement indicates a higher degree of precision and that could be wrong if you didn't actually measure your numbers to that precision.
The reason I bring this up is because we are reading Moses Psalm that a generation is 70 years or 80 years by adding precision that may not be there. Perhaps Moses was speaking in decades which would mean that 70 = 65-74, and 80 = 75-84.
The verse is interpreted to mean that if you are obedient then the generation is 70 years but if you are obstinate or stubborn it is 80. But we all know there is a range for these terms. Some people are extremely obstinate and it will take the entire seven year tribulation to get them to repent and others are extremely obedient.
So then the obedient ones in Israel went from 1948 to 2022. But starting in 2023 you begin to see the obstinate ones. Now imagine each year for the next ten years you turn this up a notch.

Tell us plainly
John 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
I believe that all things have come into being by the word of God. So this word here is what has created this event mentioned by Paul
2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
The Antichrist is a counterfeit of Christ. On Hanukkah they wanted to know plainly if Jesus was the Christ, and likewise I expect on Hanukkah the wicked Antichrist will be revealed for all to see. In 2024 Hanukkah is on December 25th, Christmas, which is the birthday of a Babylonian god which is a type of the Antichrist. What better time to reveal the antichrist. Also Santa is an anagram for Satan, coming down the chimney depicts a thief in the night, letter to Santa is turning prayers to God into praying amiss for material things, and Santa flying around on a sleigh visiting every home is mocking the rapture. Finally the threat "he sees you when your sleeping, he sees you when you are awake, he sees if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake" is a very clear threat from the all seeing eye of the Freemasons.
So then We know that this takes place after the rapture, after the restrainer steps aside. But how much after? Ken Peter's had a dream saying it was around 3 weeks, so that would put you at the end of November, or around Thanksgiving.
Amos 8:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
Turn "our feasts" would not refer to Hanukkah, that is a feast of the Lord. That was the rededication of the temple. It could refer to both Christmas and Thanksgiving as they are both "our" feasts and are not Feasts of the Lord. Also at Thanksgiving they begin to play Christmas music so that would also fit with "turning all your songs into lamentation". Christmas is the ideal time for the Antichrist to be revealed and Hanukkah is the rededication of the temple. If you were left behind and denied the Lord like Peter you would need to rededicate yourself to the Lord. So then, the Lord's table is our pattern, it is our Holy Convocation. After the second one, on the day of resurrection the Lord appeared to the disciples 40 times and I believe it was a complete 7 sabbaths later when the Lord ascended. So then if we go 50 days back from December 25th we get to the 4th of November.
That fits with our timeline.
October 30th -- this is Mischief night, the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. It is also the day of remembrance for Noah's flood on the Dead Sea Scroll Calendar for 2024.
October 31st, November 1, and November 2 -- 3 days of darkness when the fallen angels and demons are released onto the earth. This is the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Halloween, All Saints day and Day of the dead. This is also the time that Jesus makes the synagogue of Satan to come and worship at the feet of the raptured saints.
November 3 -- Lord's day, day of resurrection, the Lord's table Holy Convocation.
November 4th -- the saints are thrust out into the wilderness to fast and pray for forty days and to be tested by Satan, just as the Lord did at the start of His ministry.
According to this picture the baptism event with John the Baptist at the start of Jesus' ministry is a picture of the rapture as well. In that event the Spirit descended onto the Lord. In the same way this could happen to the Saints who are left behind when the Lord appears to them.
John 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
I believe that all things have come into being by the word of God. So this word here is what has created this event mentioned by Paul

Amos 8:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
Turn "our feasts" would not refer to Hanukkah, that is a feast of the Lord. That was the rededication of the temple. It could refer to both Christmas and Thanksgiving as they are both "our" feasts and are not Feasts of the Lord. Also at Thanksgiving they begin to play Christmas music so that would also fit with "turning all your songs into lamentation". Christmas is the ideal time for the Antichrist to be revealed and Hanukkah is the rededication of the temple. If you were left behind and denied the Lord like Peter you would need to rededicate yourself to the Lord. So then, the Lord's table is our pattern, it is our Holy Convocation. After the second one, on the day of resurrection the Lord appeared to the disciples 40 times and I believe it was a complete 7 sabbaths later when the Lord ascended. So then if we go 50 days back from December 25th we get to the 4th of November.
That fits with our timeline.
October 30th -- this is Mischief night, the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. It is also the day of remembrance for Noah's flood on the Dead Sea Scroll Calendar for 2024.
October 31st, November 1, and November 2 -- 3 days of darkness when the fallen angels and demons are released onto the earth. This is the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Halloween, All Saints day and Day of the dead. This is also the time that Jesus makes the synagogue of Satan to come and worship at the feet of the raptured saints.
November 3 -- Lord's day, day of resurrection, the Lord's table Holy Convocation.
November 4th -- the saints are thrust out into the wilderness to fast and pray for forty days and to be tested by Satan, just as the Lord did at the start of His ministry.
According to this picture the baptism event with John the Baptist at the start of Jesus' ministry is a picture of the rapture as well. In that event the Spirit descended onto the Lord. In the same way this could happen to the Saints who are left behind when the Lord appears to them.

8 Woes to the Apostate church filled with Hypocrites
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Righteous judgement is that as you have done it will be done unto you. So then think about those that the Lord will not suffer to enter into the wedding feast. They said "didn't we do this" and "didn't we do that" in your name and the Lord said to depart from Him because He didn't know them. That is the reason they reject many who would serve the Lord. They are not concerned if they know the Lord, their only concern is if they know this person. They don't care if they are obedient to the Lord, the question is if they are obedient to these ones. So then this first woe refers to the rapture when these ones will be prohibited from entering and will instead be cast out into outer darkness. The rapture will reveal all the Christians who have been wearing a mask. What better day to be cast into outer darkness than Halloween.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
After the rapture all the people who are left behind will know they were deceived by these pastors and so their houses will be devoured. Some will be slain immediately like the prophets of Baal that Elijah slew.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Jesus was betrayed by a "child of hell", Judas. These ones have made proselytes into children of hell. So it is fitting that they too would be betrayed by the proselytes they have made.
16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
They think that the temple (the house of God) and the altar (the cross of Christ) are nothing and that the gold and the gifts those are everything. So then, they will have gold and gifts when they are nothing. Meanwhile they will be shown to be fools and blind because during the tribulation there will be a great outpouring of the Spirit on the Body of Christ, and on those who have put their faith in the cross of Christ.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
During the tribulation they will realize they have swallowed the camel, they have omitted the weightier matters and now the Antichrist is in power demanding worship or else you get your head chopped off. They have behaved foolishly and according to Proverbs when an otherwise wise counselor behaves foolishly it is like a fly in the ointment. Only with these ones foolishness it will be a camel in the ointment.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Think about a Catholic church that outwardly is very holy, very sanctified, very clean. But within you have members of organized crime, you have pedophile priests, the leaders of the church are involved in fornication and profit from extortion. So then during the tribulation it will be the same judgment. The people in charge will claim to be holier than thou, but behind the curtain it will be extortion and excess.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
They will claim everything is safe and effective, but behind the curtain there will be millions of dead people. Think about Auschwitz, they didn't broadcast what was going on there on the nightly news. People did not see the full extent of the horror until after the war.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
As long as you take this attitude you can't escape hell. The only way is to repent, turn to the Lord and be washed in His blood.
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
The Lord searches the hearts, but He judges you based on your deeds. Don't fear Satan, he is simply a pawn, he is there as a test from God to see if you fear God, obey the Lord, or if you will fear and obey Satan.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
What happened in 70 AD to the Jews is a warning to us in the Church and a preview of what will happen at the end of the age.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
We are all made from the same block of cheese. Those that repent and say "Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord" come from the same block of cheese that all the hypocrites are in. You have hypocrites and then you have repentant hypocrites washed in the blood of Jesus.
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

Exodus 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,
When Moses broke the ten commandments it signified that the engagement with God was broken because the children of Israel broke His law. This event prefigures the Lord returning, discovering that His people have left the commands of God. Moses is a type of Christ coming down from the mountain, when he calls the Levites up to him that is a type of the rapture and when he makes the rest of Israel drink the bitter water that is the weeping and gnashing of teeth for those left behind and the three thousand killed that is what will happen to the apostate priests and false prophets of Baal. So then, let's look at the commandments that are broken more closely to see if there are any hints to the rapture.
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
No Super heroes, no fallen angels, no demons, no witches, no monsters, no gods before the Lord. So on Halloween if someone is dressed up as one of those how could they not be left behind. Remember, Moses comes down during some strange feast that Aaron made, not one of the feasts of the Lord, and they were all caught in the act of this orgy party. No one says that the worship of the Brazen calf was on a feast of the Lord, so why is everyone looking for a feast of the Lord. Feast of Moloch is more like it. Samson pushed out the pillars on a feast to Dagon, not a feast of the Lord. Ruth was married after the harvest, but not on a feast to the Lord, that would have been seen as improper. So then we should be looking at idol worship that the children of Israel might get caught up in. There are three events that come immediately to mind: Christmas, Easter and Halloween. However, only Halloween is at night, the other two are in the morning.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
This is precisely what happens when people make Halloween costumes, but them, and wear them. That is precisely what we are told not to do in this marriage contract. To be raptured is a mercy and it is to those who keep these commandments. Now granted, many may get involved with Halloween who do not "hate" the Lord. But they will certainly have to drink the bitter water to search out their heart. That is what the tribulation is, a bitter time of weeping and gnashing of teeth to discern who truly loves the Lord and who hates Him.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Don't come to the Lord after this saying "lord, lord did we not do this and that". To do that is to take the Lord's name in vain. You claim to be a child of God and dress up as witch or a fallen angel? The Lord's name has power to save, but if you are taking it in vain the blessing is turned to a curse.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
We are in the new creation. Jesus' crucifixion and three days in the tomb was the fulfillment of the Sabbath day rest. This is why we celebrate the 8th day, the day of resurrection. To remember the sabbath day for us means we remember that we have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I that live but Christ that lives in me. The rapture takes place after the pattern of the Lord's crucifixion. Wednesday you have the Lord's table being instituted by the Lord, followed by the thief in the night coming to betray the Lord, then a monkey trial, mocking, scourging and crucifixion, three days of darkness and then the resurrection on the Lord's day. This is the pattern we will see in 2024 from October 30th (mischief night) followed by Halloween, All Saints day and day of the dead, the three days of darkness, followed by the Lord's day, the day of resurrection. If you had been remembering that you have been crucified with Christ you would have been raptured, if you do not remember this you will be left behind.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
When Moses came down from the mountain he was like the Grandfather to the entire nation of Israel. By the time they entered he was the only man older than 80 alive and he was 120. He was the great grandfather to the entire nation. We need to honor him, honor this word, and honor the fellowship of the apostles.

PROPHECY -- I COME AS A THIEF
U B Ready 9/21/2024
I Come As a Thief Revelation
3:3, 16:15 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Today in prayer, the Lord gave me a vision. I suddenly found myself walking along a path in a field, heading towards a wooded, mountainous area ahead of me. As I walked, I noticed how quiet and peaceful it was. Then suddenly, right in front of me, I saw a huge bear emerge from the forest tree line and head off towards the right side of my view. It was very large, tan to light brown in color, and appeared to be a grizzly bear. The bear did not notice me, but walked a short distance and then came to a stop. I slowly crept up closer to see what it was doing. I got close enough to see, but still remained out of the bear's sight. I then saw a small stream, and the bear appeared to be fishing or looking for fish. All was quiet, when out of nowhere, came a loud, startling, screeching cry from just above me. Suddenly, I saw a large eagle swoop down at high speed and snatch the fish away from the bear, right out of it's paws. The bear was very angry, but it soon went back to fishing again. Then just as the bear caught another fish, the eagle swooped down again, only this time, the bear was ready and swatted at the eagle. The eagle then came back with a vengeance and attacked the bear. I saw the eagle's sharp talons tearing at the bear's flesh. But then the bear raised up and caught hold of the eagle. It grabbed the eagle by the wings and tore them off, and then flung the eagle to the ground. I saw the eagle lying on the ground, kicking and screeching. The bear went over to the eagle, stomped on it with its huge paws, and then grabbed the eagle's head and tore it off. After a minute, the bear took its food and then walked back into the forest, leaving the eagle's lifeless body lying on the ground. The vision ended.
The Lord then spoke this to me.
My son, what I have shown you is how America is always taunting Russia with sanctions, taking away its food and energy. But very soon, Russia will RISE UP QUICKLY and SURPRISE America with a FATAL ATTACK. This attack will be FAST and VICIOUS - and America will be no more. My judgment on America by Russia is just the beginning. Tell My children to REPENT and turn from their wicked ways. I will forgive them - for I AM patient and just. Time is running out as America continues to provoke Russia. It will come at night, in the early morning hours. Most will be asleep when the fire comes, but very quickly, it will come. REPENT NOW! REPENT NOW! REPENT NOW!! IT WILL COME AS I WILL COME - AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT. I LOVE YOU. I AM COMING SOON.
Amen. Lord Jesus
Social Media -- It is all working out for good to those who love God
1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
Church is not supposed to be a place for spectators. Each one has. That is the good thing about Social Media, it gives people an opportunity to speak. However, as we all know not all things are being done unto edifying. There is a lot of tearing down, a lot of insults, there are probably some trolls, but mostly it is probably Christians that are not well trained. I would never presume to get into the ring with a trained heavyweight fighter, nor would I ever presume to get into an NBA basketball game. You should have even more respect for speaking the word of God.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,
No one sees if you have a cup on protecting your private parts. But you know if you do. God knows and Satan also knows. There is a story about the sons of Sceva trying to cast out a demon who said "Paul I know but who are you?" Don't even think about getting into the ring if you are not walking in the truth.
and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Perhaps you are walking in the truth, but that is not the same thing as the breastplate of righteousness. I saw Mike Lindell on a late night comedy show. The comedian was trying to say that Mike Lindell's drug use had made him paranoid. But Mike responded that by saying that he was saying that everyone who had ever used drugs could not vote. The comedian immediately backtracked. Mike is not ashamed of his past drug use, he has written about it, and it is part of his salvation testimony. So his loins are girt about with the truth. However, righteousness would require fruit worthy of repentance. Mike also works to help other drug addicts restore their lives. As a result he saw the attack on himself as an attack on all people trying to be rehabilitated from drug use. That is the breastplate of righteousness. Needless to say the comedian was put in his place.
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
We have a mission and that is to go to the whole earth with the message of the gospel. If they refuse to hear you in this town, go to the next. We are not here to get politicians elected, our job is to witness of Jesus Christ, the Lord of all. Regardless of what you share that needs to be the heart of the message. The message is not that the country is corrupt, the message is that all human government apart from the Lord Jesus will fail. All of it, without any exception. Jesus is the solution, Jesus is the good news.
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Now this is critical. When someone first starts to learn karate or boxing they think it is all about hitting someone. It isn't. Footwork is critical and defense is critical. You need to learn how to move forward and backward without losing your balance and how to avoid being hit. You cannot totally avoid being hit, but you can minimize the damage. To me, the shield of faith is the word of God. Notice how everything in this post begins with the word of God. I am using the word of God as a shield to make it hard for someone to hit me. I have seen debates rage about this or that, one person will quote something from MSNBC and the other person will say that MSNBC are liars. They will in turn quote from some media source and the first person will say that media is biased. These debates are pointless. But no one says the word of God is a lie and if they do their little flaming arrow just fizzles out. Also doing this is safe. I run a blog about the rapture, and on that blog I talk about prophecy as well as current events. These are the most controversial topics around: Covid, the Vaccine, the war in Israel, Ukraine, the Southern border, crime, abortion, etc. I listen to many different Bible teachers and they all talk about the comments that others are making and how they will delete them and often they have to address them in their teaching. I don't have any of those issues because I hide behind the shield of faith. I have close to 400,000 people who have visited the blog and yet hardly any "flaming darts" if any. Also doing this has protected me in other ways as well. Since everything is directly tied to a bible verse everything is also directly tied to the gospel of peace. Think of how controversial the rapture is. However I never stepped into the "pre-tribulation" and "post-tribulation" debate. 12,000 posts about the rapture, how could this not come up? Simple, it isn't in the Bible. I have talked about Philadelphia being kept out of the trial that is to come on the whole earth. But the apostles went through tribulation, the saints that were martyred went through tribulation, that term is controversial because it is not Biblical. Someone may think they are "girt about with the truth" when in reality they are girt about with traditional doctrines and not the word of God. I assumed that the rapture was at the end of the church age and that the 70th week in Daniel started after the rapture. But again, there is no bible verse that says that so by staying behind the shield of faith I never said that either. Later I found the Bible verses that tell you when the Church age ends, what happens, and it certainly seems that the end of the church age is the start of the reign of the Antichrist. Still, the rapture takes place shortly after that event. So I can discuss those Bible verses while being behind the shield of faith and any attacks will not be against me but against the word of God.
1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
Church is not supposed to be a place for spectators. Each one has. That is the good thing about Social Media, it gives people an opportunity to speak. However, as we all know not all things are being done unto edifying. There is a lot of tearing down, a lot of insults, there are probably some trolls, but mostly it is probably Christians that are not well trained. I would never presume to get into the ring with a trained heavyweight fighter, nor would I ever presume to get into an NBA basketball game. You should have even more respect for speaking the word of God.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,
No one sees if you have a cup on protecting your private parts. But you know if you do. God knows and Satan also knows. There is a story about the sons of Sceva trying to cast out a demon who said "Paul I know but who are you?" Don't even think about getting into the ring if you are not walking in the truth.
and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Perhaps you are walking in the truth, but that is not the same thing as the breastplate of righteousness. I saw Mike Lindell on a late night comedy show. The comedian was trying to say that Mike Lindell's drug use had made him paranoid. But Mike responded that by saying that he was saying that everyone who had ever used drugs could not vote. The comedian immediately backtracked. Mike is not ashamed of his past drug use, he has written about it, and it is part of his salvation testimony. So his loins are girt about with the truth.

Social Media -- part 2
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
We need to take this attitude. Don't fight against the things that God has ordained. When Kareem Abdul Jabbar went to college they changed the rules of college basketball making the dunk illegal. Kareem was seven feet tall. This change was directed at him. But Kareem learned to shoot the sky hook. Picking up this skill is what made him, in my opinion, the greatest center in NBA history. Take this word to heart, don't say "this is not right they are picking on me, blah, blah, blah". Instead say "Lord, this is from You, please open my eyes to what you would have me do so that this works out for good".
Luke 9:5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
We are responsible to speak the word of God and to warn people. We are not responsible to convince anyone. What they do with the word you speak they will have to give account of. I was on Facebook and one morning I learned I had been suspended for a month. They didn't tell me what post of mine was the offending post and they did not tell me what rule I had violated. There was nothing I could do to learn how to adjust my speaking. Instead all of my posts were from the Bible, so I was forced to conclude that was the issue. Now I know there are many people who will adjust their speaking to not offend the Facebook censors. I hear pastors and other Bible expositors say that all the time, we can't say this and we can't say that. I did not do that. I deleted my Facebook account. I determined that they refused to receive me, so I shook off the dust and left. Now that dust "clings" to you. It is very hard to delete the account. They will not consider it deleted until after 30 days. They don't want people leaving they want them to submit to them. If instead of kow towing to the Facebook leftists who are the censors, if everyone who felt they needed to modify their Bible exposition to satisfy the censors had simply left Facebook that would have actually had a very big impact on Facebook. But that also happened to two different "Christian" platforms I was on. Once again, no explanation of what was the offending post or what was the rule that was broken. So I shook off the dust and left. I don't regret it, I have close to 400,000 who have found this blog. That is a huge bonus to the platform I am on and a huge loss to the ones I left. The minute you let Facebook or anyone else tell you what you can and cannot say you are making them Lord. That is an insult to the Lord Jesus. They have rules for their platforms, I have no issue with that and I am willing to abide by their rules. But I never violated any of their rules and they never said that I did. Finally, I was suspended from Youtube. I thought it was a joke, the last time I posted a Youtube video was about ten years ago. Why would I be suspended? The only reason I can guess since they didn't tell me is that I have been very careful to curate my subscriptions. I actively subscribe and unsubscribe as I learn about various channels. Then when I went to Youtube I would go directly to my subscriptions. Now suppose all the channels I subscribe to are those that they want to reduce the viewers, it is called "shadow banning". By suspending me it hits all those channels because I can't subscribe to them nor can I like their videos. Imagine they have an algorithm for subscriptions to see if you are high or low on the shadow banning score, and they simply suspend accounts that are high on the shadow banning score. But that is OK, I walked away from them as well. Now some will try to be humpty dumpty. They'll post a five minute video on Facebook or Youtube directing people to their website. But who are you advertising to? If you can't use the platform, why do you want to get all your viewers from that platform? It will be like having a picnic where you advertise to all the flies, the mosquitoes, the ants, the yellow jackets, etc. If you advertise on a platform that is trying to shadow ban you then don't complain about trolls and nasty comments.

Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation
Isaiah 17:10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
Once people forget God they seek pleasure and try to make a garden of "pleasure". Disney world is an example, Las Vegas is another example. We call them tourist traps. Then they try and make tourism a major industry and get entangled with all their foreign alliances, all because they forgot God.
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Then they want instant gratification. Fast food restaurants like McDonald's. All this junk made out of plastic. But this all leads to a big heap of junk, a nation drowning in garbage. An ocean filled with garbage. All the garbage washing up on the beaches. And then when it becomes obvious that this is not sustainable it becomes desperate like driving a car off a cliff.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
Then you get "rush hour". For thousands of years no one had ever heard of "rush hour". Everyone wants to get rich quick and you can only do that in the big city and so the cities become crowded, noisy, and everyone is rushing to and fro.
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
But what happens? I remember when more people were dying in car accidents than in the Vietnam war. That was a rebuke. I remember when the smog was so thick in Los Angelos you could cut it with a knife. That was a rebuke. But now the worldwide use of cars and fossil fuel is changing the chemistry of the atmosphere and the ocean. That is a rebuke.
14 And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
Eventide is the end of this day and at the end of this age we have trouble. Our ancestors never had to worry about plastic pollution poisoning us, they never had to worry about landfills being toxic and poisoning us, they never had to worry about oil and gas poisoning us, and they never had to worry about what happens when this stuff runs out. But that is where we are at the end of the age. At daybreak of the next age, the millennial reign of Jesus they are all gone. Exxon is gone. Pfizer is gone. Monsanto is gone. McDonald's is gone. Rush hour is gone. All these ones who are robbing us, their portion is 0, they won't inherit the kingdom, they will be gone.
But the problem began when people forgot God. Anything that doesn't start there is not a solution.

The Rapture is not during an Old Testament Feast day
Galatians 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
First of all the calendar has been corrupted. There are three or four different interpretations concerning what the true calendar is. But according to the Bible "he will seek to change times and seasons". Jesus is Lord, the only reason he could be allowed to do this is if Jesus permits it. Observing days and months and times and years is part of the Law which we have been freed from. These things are relevant because they are a shadow of things to come and because they are examples to us. But they are not dress rehearsals, it is crystal clear in the New Testament that we are not required to keep the observance of these days.
Second, when Jesus said "no one knows the day or the hour" there are only two plausible interpretations. One, that this was an idiom referring to the Feast of Trumpets, and the other that this was not one of the feast days in the Old Testament. If you want to say that this was an idiom then that applies specifically to the Jews because it is their idiom and it applies specifically to the start of the 70th week on the Feast of Trumpets. However, the church is composed primarily of the nations and for them "no one knows the day or the hour" is not an idiom, it means what it says. The church is not focused on the start of the 70th week, rather they are concerned with the rapture and the Lord's word is clear. At the time that the Lord spoke in the gospels the day and the hour of the rapture had not been revealed. It was not in the Old Testament, nor was it revealed to angels (not in the book of Enoch), etc. That does not mean it would not ever be revealed but it is a second reason to reject it being one of the Feasts of the Lord in the Old Testament.
Third, you can see types and shadow of the rapture in all the feasts of the Lord. The Passover, the Feast of the First First fruit, Shavuot, Pentecost, 9th of Av, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacles. But if you look at the Lord's table we see all of those feasts embodied in the Lord's table. The Lord's table is our Holy Convocation, it is our dress rehearsal and it is the feast we have been charged to keep. Instead of asking which OT Feast is the rapture I would say it is all of them and that is what we see in the Lord's table. So yes, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. In the OT He operated on Feast days because God tells us the end from the Beginning, He is God and there is no other. But that means He is the same in the New Testament. We also have a feast day to keep. We have also been charged to take up our cross and follow the Lord. So you can be sure since the cross of Christ and the Lord's table are intertwined in the gospels they will also be intertwined in the rapture.
Fourth, even though the calendar has been corrupted the Bible also says that seedtime and harvest will remain. We know that the rapture takes place at the harvest time. That is what the shadow in the book of Judges tells us with Samson and it is also what the shadow in the book of Ruth tells us with Ruth. One thing we do know is that it is at harvest time. Also, Jeremiah says "Summer is over and we are not saved". Summer is when you plant and harvest. So "summer is over" when all the crops are in for the year. That is a harvest festival.
In Judges we are told that Samson pushes out the pillars during a great sacrifice to Dagon. So instead of looking for feasts to the Lord, look for a harvest festival feast to Dagon. When Moses came down from the mountain there was worship to Moloch going on, a feast not of the Lord but of Aaron the priest. The closest analog to Moses breaking the ten commandments would be Martin Luther nailing the 95 theses to the door of the Wittenberg church on October 31. That is also a harvest festival, it marks the end of the summer and the beginning of winter if you have two seasons, and it is also a great sacrifice to the pagan god Dagon. Not only so but the festival is thought to be a remembrance of the day the flood hit the earth. So it lines up with the days of Noah. Likewise with Lot, the mob outside of Lot's house aligns with Mischief night. According to the Bible it is evening then morning one day. So, the morning of October 31 would still be the "mischief night" day, Halloween would not begin until that evening.
Think of all the verses from the New Testament we see in this beginning on October 30th. Jesus said it will come as a thief in the night, hence "mischief night". The Lord's table was instituted on Wednesday, the night Jesus was arrested. Then we are told that those who are left behind will be cast into outer darkness, just like the three days Jesus was in the tomb. Those three days would begin with Halloween, then All Saints day and Day of the Dead. Jesus told Philadelphia He would make the synagogue to come worship at their feet and sure enough they celebrate All Saints Day and Day of the Dead during these three days of darkness. Jesus said it would be as the days of Noah and the days of Lot and I have already explained how those two days also fit this pattern. Then following the three days of darkness we have November 3rd, which is the Lord's day in 2024, the day of resurrection. These verses are not shadows and types, they are black and white prophetic speaking concerning the rapture from the New Testament.
Now what would the apostle Paul say to those who have been left behind after the rapture?
O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you, that ye did not obey the truth
What better day to say this then October 31st.
Why would someone be left behind? Paul said that
1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
What better day to get that message across than October 31st?
Galatians 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

The closest analog to Moses breaking the ten commandments would be Martin Luther nailing the 95 theses to the door of the Wittenberg church on October 31. That is also a harvest festival, it marks the end of the summer and the beginning of winter if you have two seasons, and it is also a great sacrifice to the pagan god Dagon. Not only so but the festival is thought to be a remembrance of the day the flood hit the earth. So it lines up with the days of Noah. Likewise with Lot, the mob outside of Lot's house aligns with Mischief night. According to the Bible it is evening then morning one day. So, the morning of October 31 would still be the "mischief night" day, Halloween would not begin until that evening.
Think of all the verses from the New Testament we see in this beginning on October 30th. Jesus said it will come as a thief in the night, hence "mischief night". The Lord's table was instituted on Wednesday, the night Jesus was arrested. Then we are told that those who are left behind will be cast into outer darkness, just like the three days Jesus was in the tomb. Those three days would begin with Halloween, then All Saints day and Day of the Dead. Jesus told Philadelphia He would make the synagogue to come worship at their feet and sure enough they celebrate All Saints Day and Day of the Dead during these three days of darkness. Jesus said it would be as the days of Noah and the days of Lot and I have already explained how those two days also fit this pattern. Then following the three days of darkness we have November 3rd, which is the Lord's day in 2024, the day of resurrection. These verses are not shadows and types, they are black and white prophetic speaking concerning the rapture from the New Testament.
Now what would the apostle Paul say to those who have been left behind after the rapture?
O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you, that ye did not obey the truth
What better day to say this then October 31st.
Why would someone be left behind? Paul said that
1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
What better day to get that message across than October 31st?
Deuteronomy 11:26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: 28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
Think about Christmas, it is set before us, by God, as both a blessing and a curse. You can worship the Lord and His incarnation, and sing beautiful hymns of worship and praise, or you can chase after Santa, and elves, and flying reindeer, and all the other pagan lies.
It is the same with Easter, you can get up early and worship the Lord's resurrection at a sunrise service, or you can get caught up in bunny rabbits, easter eggs, and all the other pagan celebrations of their fertility god.
And it is the same with Halloween. You can give thanks to the Lord for the harvest and everything He has done and blessed you with, or you can be a hypocrite, dressed in a costume, worshipping demons, evil fallen angels, and many other forms of pretense.
These three days are not in the Old Testament or the New Testament. When Jesus said "no one knows the day or the hour" it was true, you could not find the day or the hour in the various holy scriptures. However, there is no doubt that many scriptures are used in the worship of the Lord at Christmas, and many others for the worship of the Lord at Easter. I have also shown you that there are even more verses used to fashion this holiday around Halloween. It is the word of God that gives these three holy days their credibility, and yet, all three are pagan holidays, not appointed days of the Lord. But that is what we were told by Moses in Deuteronomy that God would do. On these three days God has set before us a blessing and a curse.
