Ezekiel 25: 8 Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;

9 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,

10 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.

11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

This is another doctrine floating around Christianity saying that the Zionists are actually Satanists. So this judgment will clear this up, they will see first hand what real Satanists are like and then they will know that Jesus is Lord and it was He that restored the Jews to the land of Israel.

Ezekiel 25:12 Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord God.

Edom is the twin brother of Jacob. The Jews are considered "the people of the book", they are story tellers. Edom is like Jacob, only he is "a man's man". Think Clint Eastwood or John Wayne. They are the TV and Movie industry. Many people think the Jews control Hollywood and TV, actually it is Edom, Jacob's twin brother.

Ezekiel 25:15 Thus saith the Lord God; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

The Philistines were halfway between Egypt and Israel. They had giants like Goliath and his four brothers. They were the ones dispossessed by the Jews when they entered the land. Think of the world powers dispossessed when the US became a superpower. The reason God dispossessed them was because of abortion. So think of those who are rabidly pro abortion. Their history goes straight back to Germany and their racists doctrines. Today we call them leftists and they definitely deal by revenge with despiteful hearts for the old hatred. Think of the woke mob attacking people for something they said or did 20 years ago.

This is it! ✨The Rapture of the Church/The Midnight Cry Seen in Mazzaroth (Mind Boggling)


She says the seven day warning is a seven day warning that Jesus is coming, our going into the ark in the rapture is the seven day warning.

Fair enough, however, the death of Methuselah would still take place at the time we enter the ark, and I think that is analogous to Damascus becoming a ruinous heap.

She correlates the moon going dark for two days each month to Jesus being in the grave for two days, and then resurrecting on the third day. She also correlates the full moon with the fulness of the Gentiles.

She tells the story of Samson being married to a Philistine wife who was unfaithful. Why is this matter of women being unfaithful being intertwined throughout the Bible, especially with the rapture. Vashti in the Book of Esther, the story of Judah and Tamar, Rachel stealing the idol, etc. I think the Lord does this because you don't really know if someone is faithful unless everyone around them is unfaithful and despite that they are still faithful. I remember thinking that when I was teaching in Brooklyn. The class would be filled with very poor students, they were not serious, they were not disciplined, and they were rude and uncouth. But in the midst of this you would see a few students each year that were good students, serious, disciplined and polite. They really shined like stars because of the contrast.

Now Pleiades, according to her, represents the 7 churches. So for the full moon to right at Pleiades represents the fullness of the Gentiles to be right with the 7 churches.

She also claims November 19th is the 17th day of the second month (the day of the flood). 3 days from November 16th, when there is a full Moon. With Jonah there was a 3 day journey for Jonah to tell them to turn from their sin or everything would be destroyed. According to her the 16th is the day of the rapture and the 19th is when everything is destroyed. [According to my own understanding the rapture is on the Lord's day, so if this takes place at midnight on the 16th it works out for me. Then we have three days of darkness, so again, the three days of darkness preceding the total destruction works out. Also, I believe the best day for the revealing of the Antichrist is Dec 25th, and that the left behind saints would go through 40 days of fasting and praying before being tempted by Satan. That works as the 40th day would be the 26th, Antichrist is revealed and 24 hours later the temptation to just say the word and the stones would become bread will be given to those left behind. Finally the appointed day in Proverbs is the Full moon, so this aligns with the date the unfaithful wife says Jesus will be returning "let every man be a liar and God alone be true"].

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 1)

Jeremiah 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

This is a word from the left behind. Imagine you are a Christian, the rapture takes place and yet you are left behind! The harvest is past! Ouch. The summer is ended! We are not saved. The rapture is a harvest, that is critical to understand, and it doesn't take place in the middle of harvesting, it takes place at the harvest festival to mark the end of summer and to say the harvest is past. This is why I believe that the rapture takes place during the fall and early winter (please note, in the Bible it is two seasons, summer and winter. We might think that summer is past after the fall equinox, but it would be more like 45 days after the Fall equinox, sometime in the vicinity of early November).

Proverbs 7:20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

This is the adulterous wife. Think of them as the religious establishment. When the Magi came looking for where Jesus would be born they were the ones who said it was in Bethlehem. So just because they are adulterous doesn't mean they don't know the word. Think about it, an adulterous wife is going to be very interested and precise in when her husband is coming home. This term appointed day means full moon. So you can see how these various prophecies do not tell us the day or the hour, but they certainly eliminate a whole lot of potential days.

Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

So this word in Hosea describes Jesus leaving and that after two days He will return. Jesus left on the day of ascension in 31 AD. Two days signifies two thousand years and the third day signifies the millennial reign. This is why the most important date for us is the day of Jesus Crucifixion. Although there is some debate among historians saying it was between 30 AD and 33 AD I believe we can conclusively say from the word of God that it was 31 AD. The reason I say this is when the Jewish leaders asked for a sign Jesus said the only sign they would be given would be the sign of Jonah the Prophet. This was mind blowingly precise. So let's go through it.

Jesus had been doing many miracles for three years since His baptism, people went to the leaders to see if this was the Messiah and they made an official determination that Jesus was casting out demons, not because He was the Messiah, but rather by Beelzebub, the prince of the demons. Jesus told them this proclamation was an unforgivable sin because they were not simply rejecting Him but they were also rejecting the work of the Holy Spirit. They in turn asked for a sign from God that this judgment had been given on them. That was reasonable according to the word of God. So Jesus told them the only sign that they would receive would be the sign of Jonah.

He said this 3 years after His baptism and when His ministry first came to Judah and Jerusalem. Jonah had taken a three day journey after being spit up on the beach to the city of Nineveh. So Jesus' baptism was a type of Jonah going into the death waters and coming out. I am going to say that Jesus Baptism was exactly three years before He gave this word about the unforgivable sin, and that was on the 9th of Av in 30 AD, six months before the crucifixion.

When Jonah got to Nineveh He said in forty days the city would be destroyed. It was exactly 40 years to the day in 70 AD.

When Jonah entered the city it says He went a full days journey. So this word about the unforgivable sin was Jesus entering Judah. A full day later (1 year, 9th of Av on 31 AD) we have Pentecost which is fifty days after the ascension (different from traditional Christianities understanding). For the next 39 years the Christians go through Jerusalem, Judah, and all of Israel telling them to repent, just like Jonah. If you take the six months of Jesus' ministry and the 39 years of the apostles. This is like the rule that when you whip a prisoner you do it 40 stripes less 1. The idea is it is sinful for you to give them more than 40 stripes and you might miscount, so to be safe you give them 39 stripes. If we read the history of the Jews after the crucifixion God was gave them 39 stripes, particularly at the Day of Atonement where the offering was never accepted.

Therefore we can expect Jesus to come down in glory before the Jews in 2031 AD. That takes place before the day of judgment, so we can expect the Day of Atonement in 2031 to be the day of judgment. This gives us a very precise idea of the year. Also, note that if the Lord is that precise with the sign of Jonah with the Jews He will also be that precise with the Gentiles.

A jubilee is the 50th year, but it is the first year of the next cycle after each 49 year cycle. This means that we should be counting jubilee years by 49 and adding 1. For example, 1 jubilee = 50 years. 2 jubilees = 99 years. 3 jubilees = 148 years. 40 Jubilees would be 1961 years. Add 1961 years to 70 AD and you get 2031 AD for Armageddon.

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 2)

Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

This has to apply to the rapture. Sure enough we have a number of types and shadows of the rapture in the Old Testament. Enoch being translated is a type, Elijah going up in the chariots of God is a type, Ruth getting married is a shadow, Mordecai being raised to the position of prime minister is a shadow, Joseph coming out of the prison to be prime minister of Egypt is a shadow, Samson pushing out the pillars is a shadow. Ruth and Samson tell us this takes place during a harvest festival or after a harvest festival.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

In the Old Testament God gave the believers Holy Convocations, dress rehearsals for key days and this was a confirmation, a proof that when Jesus was crucified He was the Messiah because they did it exactly as the dress rehearsal they had been doing for centuries. Therefore it is also reasonable that the New Testament also has holy convocations. The Christians celebrate the Lord on the Lord's day and that is the day we keep the Lord's table our one and only Holy Convocation given to us. The other two big days in Christianity are Christmas and Easter. These are pagan holidays, however, the worship of the Lord's incarnation and resurrection should still be considered worship to the Lord. Imagine we look at all wives on Earth as one big collective circle. In that circle we have some that are faithful and some that are adulterous. It is the same with the church. Some are faithful to the Lord worshipping Him and some are adulterous worshipping pagan idols. Therefore the same is true of these two holidays. On Christmas eve the faithful are worshipping Jesus and the adulterous are worshipping the flesh. On resurrection morning the faithful are worshipping Jesus and the adulterous are worshipping pagan idols.

So then we have not been told the day or the hour, but we have been told that our dress rehearsal is on the Lord's day and we are celebrating the Lord's resurrection early in the morning.

Mark 31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

This verse is not about the rapture, it is about when Heaven and Earth pass away.

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

This verse is not about the rapture, it is about when Heaven and Earth pass away.

Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

This verse is about the rapture.

Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

This verse also is about the rapture.

Do you see the difference? These verses in Matthew about not knowing the hour and in such an hour ye think not also show up in Luke. There is a theme where Matthew is to Israel and Luke is to the saints raptured before the tribulation. In both cases the Lord says they don't know the hour. But Jesus never said that He didn't know the day or the season or the year, and it is not scriptural to say that.

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Since Jesus does know the day, the season and the year it is not Biblical to say He would not reveal them to His prophets.

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 3)

Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

There are many calendars. You have the Torah Calendar, the Enoch Calendar, the Gregorian Calendar, the Julian Calendar and the Essene calendar. So knowing what day it is can be very confusing. However, we have certain constants. Seedtime refers to Jesus being crucified and put into the ground like a grain of wheat. Harvest refers to the rapture. Cold is the absence of the Love of the Lord, and Heat is when the light of the Lord is shining the brightest. Summer is when the wise son is out in the field laboring and winter is when the foolish ones can repent of being foolish. So then despite all the confusion, we have these constants and we know that the harvest is always at harvest time, and we know the left behind will be when they wake up and realize the summer is over, the chance for them to labor is finished, and now the harvest is past, they are not saved, and they are going to have to go through a very hard and cold winter.

Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

The ordinances about eating only food blessed by the rabbis does not apply to Christians any more than keeping the Feasts of the Lord in the Old Testament. There are many people who want to tie everything for Christians to all the Holy convocations for the Jews. Yes, those are "feasts of the Lord" but they are not in our covenant for Christians to keep. Yes, they are a shadow of things to come, but they are not a dress rehearsal for the rapture.

Philippians 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

This is our dress rehearsal for the rapture. We take up our cross and follow the Lord and if we do we will attain to the rapture on the day of resurrection.

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 4)

Every criteria filters out many erroneous dates. No criteria tells you the day, but they each do tell you what is not the day. There is one full moon per month, that eliminates 27 out of 29 days. Knowing that it is when Summer is past and Harvest is over eliminates 9 or 10 months from consideration. Knowing that the Lord's return is in 2031 and we expect the rapture around seven years before that narrows it down to one or two years to focus on. We do the same thing in Geology. When we do a test on a mineral one test does not tell us the mineral but it narrows the possibilities. For example we can do a hardness test on a mineral. All minerals have a hardness between 1-10. So if you determine the hardness is 5, you have eliminated all those who are 1-4 and 6-10. If you determine the mineral has cleavage you eliminate all those who don't have cleavage.

For example:

Psalm 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Based on this we conclude that a generation is 70 years, 80 if it is strong. However, it is foolish to think that this is a precise number. In Chemistry we realize you have to indicate the accurate precision with which you measure something. If I say it is 2.00000 pounds then that means I measured out to the hundredth thousandth of a pound. If I say it is 2 pounds then it could be anywhere from 1.5 pounds to 2.4 pounds. In the same way 70 years could be anywhere from 65 to 74 years and 80 years could be anywhere from 75 to 84 years.

Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

First, notice Jesus said "these" things. You have to look at the list of the things he said and the last thing was Jesus coming in the clouds in glory. The very last thing is:

Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Israel was formed May 14, 1948. That was when I would say they sprouted up from the dead. If you go 84 years from that date you get May 14, 2032, and 75 years from that date is 2023. Therefore I would expect the Jews who have been very strong to be gathered and fly away from 2023 to 2032. However, the last day of judgment, the last day of Atonement that falls within that range is in the fall of 2031. Seven years prior to that is 2024.

Ezekiel 1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

When you go deep into all these prophecies you learn there are many different timelines. One error many make is to equate them all. On the contrary I think each timeline is like a wheel inside a watch. One wheel is within another wheel. As the second hand moves (one wheel) it moves the minute hand. But they are not the same wheel and are not equivalent. Likewise as these two wheels move the hour hand moves. Again, a different timeline, not all the same timelines. In the same way when the Lord returns He first rewards the faithful servants, then He disciplines the faithless servants and finally He destroys the rebellious who refused His rule and reign. In the same way you will have many saints raptured prior to and during this seven year period. But in the end all the rebellious will be killed and dealt with. So then I think the attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023 was the beginning of this process.

Now the day of Atonement is prior to the Harvest festival. So then I don't believe we can wait till 2025 for the rapture because that would take us to 2032 for Atonement and that would be after the 75 to 84 year range the Lord gave.

I have not had a nightmare since I first got saved in 1978. Prior to that I had a lot.

However, last night I did have a disturbing dream, not the panic inducing dream of a nightmare, but nonetheless not a pleasant dream.

I can't remember it all, so sorry about that but I think the interpretation is very clear.

I had on a dress shirt but it was ripped in the shoulder. Not a tiny, imperceptible rip, but so bad it was totally inappropriate to go to a church gathering with it. I wanted to go home first and put on a new shirt but I didn't have one, so I thought I'd put on a jacket and simply cover it. But I was unable to get to church.

Then I had a dream right after that where this time the problem was I didn't have any socks and I wasn't going to go to church without socks.

To me the interpretation is clear, the church gathering was the gathering in the clouds. The ripped shirt reminded me of Samuel ripping King Saul's clothes. So there are those who say they are obedient to the Lord and they aren't. The missing socks meant your feet are not shod with the gospel of peace. We have been called to be witnesses for the Lord and you have not been faithful to do that.

Not being able to go to the gathering to me means you won't get raptured. This should have been a nightmare to me, but it wasn't. My understanding of that is that the Lord is answering my prayer to give me empathy for those who are left behind, to let me see what it will be like through their eyes.

I have just remembered the third part of the dream. I was driving a car that belonged to my stepson. I ground the gears shifting and damaged his car (it wasn't clear, it was implied that the car no longer drove) and I didn't want to pay for the damage. This car looked like the worst car you would expect to see still driving on the road. Kind of like an old, rusted out Pinto. At that point I realized I had a stain on my shirt.

The interpretation of that is also clear, if you know anyone who had anything against you then go and be reconciled to your brother first before coming to give your gift to the Lord. We need spotless robes, yes the Lord's blood washes us of all sin, but if the sin involves hurting someone else, no matter how trivial, you need to be reconciled with your brother.

These are three things that would keep us from the Lord. Not being reconciled to our brothers in the church, not being obedient to the Lord and not being faithful witnesses of Him.

When I woke up I was immediately examining myself, where I needed to repent, who I needed to call, etc. I think this is the proper response and was part of learning to be empathetic. Hopefully after the rapture those who are left behind will also feel the same way.

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 5)

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.

If you read Amos the focus of the book is to "prepare to meet thy God" which is what all Jews are supposed to do for the ten days prior to the day of Atonement. Amos begins by going through all the sins of the nation and every one of those sins can be applied to the US. Now everyone in the world will have to appear before God and be judged. However, the ten days, in my opinion are divided into three groups of 3 and a third days. The first section those that we call "pre tribulation" rapture are judged ready to be raptured and then are taken. This is approximately at the beginning of the seven year period known as the seventieth week. This also begins the first half of the seven year period commonly known as "The Tribulation" where the left behind saints are. At the end of this period they are all gone and that only leaves the Jews and Israel. But let's focus on this pre-tribulation rapture. One of the things that takes place when the rapture takes place is that your feasts are turned into mourning and your songs into lamentation.

So then, what feasts does Christianity in the US have and what songs is He talking about. The first time this word for songs is used Laban tells Jacob he would have sent him away with mirth and songs. So they are happy songs, we are not talking about the blues. The second time it is used it refers to a triumphant song on the bank of the Red Sea after Pharaoh's army is defeated. Happy songs and triumphant songs will be turned to lamentation? Imagine your son who is the light of your life and full of joy were to die. You might have home movies that always put a smile on your face and make you laugh, but now when you watch them they make you cry. This is what the Lord is saying, "making it a mourning as for an only son".

There are two major feasts for Christians: Thanksgiving and Christmas. Easter is usually celebrated with a brunch, hardly the same. July 4th with a barbecue, but that is not a Christian feast. But Thanksgiving signals the start of the Christmas season and that is when the radios play Christmas songs. These songs are associated with mirth and the Lord's triumphant incarnation (for example -- Jingle Bells and Hark the Herald Angels sing). Now if you were to turn Thanksgiving into mourning you would need the rapture to be right before Thanksgiving. According to the Bible the period of mourning is one year. It can be difficult to smile or laugh for a year after a major loss like your only son. However, in Deuteronomy it says you give a woman a month to mourn her husband if she is taken captive in battle and her husband is killed. So then I would expect this to take place before Thanksgiving, with enough time before that people hadn't prepared the feast yet. Generally it would take at least a week if not two weeks to recover from the shock of an event as great as the rapture. No one will have any heart to prepare Thanksgiving dinner and so that feast will be turned into mourning. No one will have any heart to buy Christmas gifts or put up decorations, so that feast also will be turned to mourning. During the month from Thanksgiving to Christmas the songs on the radio would cause the Christians who are left behind to lament, so these happy Christmas songs would become a lamentation.

Now this fits with the rapture taking place after the summer is over and after the harvest. October 31 is a harvest festival and Thanksgiving is a harvest festival. So the time in between would certainly be aligned with a harvest festival. If you want it to be two weeks before Thanksgiving on the Lord's day that would only happen every seven years. If you wanted that Lord's day to be at the time of a full moon that would only happen one 28th of those years, or once every 196 years. In other words, this may be the very first time since the radio with Christmas songs that we have these two conditions. Also, Thanksgiving has been a national holiday for less than a hundred years. So this may be the very first time in US history that this verse could be fulfilled. But there is more, the odds that this would occur so that Christmas is 39 days later (during the time of prayer and fasting) and that the Antichrist, like Satan would appear at this point after 40 days of fasting to tempt the left behind Christians, the odds of that is less than 1 in 20, meaning this may be the first time in 4,000 years that these conditions have been fulfilled.

The Return of a King Dream

10-23-21@4:51AM With Confirmation Part 1
Prophetic dreams and visions from my lovely Jesus

This dream had been removed off the website and out of the books without my knowledge. The sweet Holy Ghost reminded me of it which had been shared by videos and on another facebook group page in the past. Here is the dream with confirmation. Please take it to Jesus Christ in prayer and try and test it, lining it up with the Word of God in Jesus Christ's Name. The Return of a King Dream 10-23-21@4:51AM With Confirmation I again dreamed Jesus Christ and this one like the others I know came from You because I do not lay my head down without praying over my sleep and my mind plus I also sleep most nights with Your Holy Bible playing all throughout the night. After praying this morning, You led me to read in Your Holy Word, and I read from the book of Matthew. You gave me chapter 10:20 but I read more afterwards for I truly love Your love letters You have left us. Matthew 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. I dreamed I was in a land that was different than my own. It was a land of days gone by where castles stood tall. Knights in shining armor were the heroes and it was hard times but simpler in life. Yet this place I found myself in was also filled with technological wonders of our modern society for this land was also filled with people in business suits carrying smartphones and tablets. It was a land with a mixture of both the past eras of time and that of our current modern one. In this dream I am an observer and I am watching a young boy. A teenager possibly in the age range of thirteen to fourteen years in age. He has light colored skin and light-colored hair but I can see a darker color layer of hair showing through from underneath the top one. He is of a medium build and is currently walking behind another older man. The odd and unusual thing in this dream that sticks out to me is that the young teenage boy is wearing nothing more than a pair of yellow shorts. Possibly swimming trunks, I feel they are. I see they have a half-inch strip of white material on each side of his shorts. He also wore no shoes of any kind. The older man was dressed in medieval clothing with a pair of brown pants and a forest green tunic that he wore as his shirt. Over his green tunic shirt he wore a covering. It was a long garment that put me in mind of a crusader's surcoat which was usually white in color with some type of cross centered in the middle. This one though was a chocolate brown in color and on the front of it was a flying eagle also brown in color. Its head was white and its beak a light tan. He wore this garment, his surcoat tied with a brown belt. This man also wore brown leather boots that came up to his knees and then folded down from the top in a three-inch bend. The older man was leading the teenage boy down through the streets of an old city while carrying in his left hand a wooden staff. As they passed through the narrow walls of what appeared to be a city within the castle grounds for there was a very large rock type castle in the background that I could see but as they were walking through the streets, I noticed no one who they passed appeared to take notice of this young man who was wearing only a pair of bright yellow swimming trunks. As they made their way out of the city's rock walls I now see that they have entered an outer court area which was filled with many things. Including an open market with tables of goods set up in various arrays. I knew in this dream by the goods I saw that people could buy or trade for food, animals and even weapons. I also saw tables full of garments, both of modern apparel and that of the medieval garments. Other tables of pots, bowls, and cups made out of metal, clay, and wood, and even a table that displayed an assortment of hand-held electronics such as cell phones, tablets, and computerized watches. I watched as the man led the teenager out of the hustle and bustle of the market place and out of the city walls. The view opened up into an open area covered in grass and dirt. To my right I noticed a great forest with many assortments of trees, but they had turned toward the left. I saw a very large river, and I knew in this dream that it was very deep and touching its bottom would be a very difficult feat. This I feel is where they are headed. The older man turned his head briefly to see if the young teenage boy was still following close behind and hadn't stopped to look at any of the wares at the marketplace tables. But the boy was still close behind him, I saw with a very determined look on his young face. The man spoke to the teenage boy and said, “Come DJ." The boy nodded his head and picked up his pace a little faster. They quickly reached the river and as the young DJ headed towards the river banks the man stopped him. As he laid down his staff and placed his hands upon the young boy's shoulders and faced him. He looked him directly in his eyes and spoke, “DJ you must be able to do this!. You have the strength inside you. You must be able to go far into the waters then with a mighty force propel yourself upward and break through the surface of the river face first. It is imperative that you do this for your people.” “I know Flynn, I know,” the young boy said with a realization of the consequences if he didn't. But with knowledge beyond his young years. All this I knew in this dream somehow. “Alright then. Godspeed,” the man known as Flynn said to him reassuringly as DJ headed towards the downward slope of the river's edge. As he entered the water and began wading into it, I could tell it was very cold. Because I could see him flinch a bit from the shock of the coldness of the river's water as it made contact with his skin. Then he dove into the water head first. Flynn watched from the river banks keeping himself in a ready position should young DJ need his assistance. I watched as DJ would come up from the depths of the water but each time he was unable to forcibly break through its surface with his face. I watched him for hours as he repeated the process over and over again relentlessly. Soon I heard Flynn call out to him telling him he needed to come out of the water and to rest for a little while. DJ shook his head in a firm no gesture that he wasn't ready to come out yet but then I heard Flynn speak again. “Your highness, it will do you no good or your kingdom if you do not use wisdom and allow yourself to rest in between these attempts because the people will need your leadership for what's coming to our land.” These wise words caused the young DJ to relent and to exit the cold river, water dripping all around him and he then threw himself down upon the grass and dirt covered ground. He began speaking almost dejectedly. “I am no savior Flynn. How can I possibly stop what's coming to our land?" He then asked. “You can't,” Flynn told him. “Only God can but it is He who has chosen you as rightful ruler to give our people a fighting chance. You are right when you say you are not our savior but you do hold within you the ability once restored to power for this chance to be possible. Isn't this worth the battles and the testing?” He asked young DJ. “Yes, it is Flynn, but I have only been able to break through the water's surface with the use of my hands. To break through with my face is not a feat that I have been able to accomplish.” “But you will DJ, you will. I have faith in God that you will and soon!”

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 6)

Revelation 13:1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

I understand that this beast refers to AI with the robots and drones and other accompanying attributes of this beast system. We are currently seeing it "rise up out of the sea". In the book of Revelation and we are told the sea refers to the nations. Already we are seeing AI replacing people at work. We can see In the last 12 months AI has improved from being a very smart HS level to being a very smart graduate student in college student. It has improved six years worth in one year, and not an average student. It scores in the top 10% on virtually every exam they give it. Because of this there are layoffs across the board for white collar jobs. They call it "downsizing" but the reality is one experienced worker and AI can do more than one experienced worker and a new employee. Meanwhile robotics has gotten so good it is easy to anticipate robots doing many blue collar jobs in the next six months. I think at this point it is very difficult for any college graduate to compete for a white collar job at a fortune 500 company. The AI is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I recently did the return on investment analysis on those self checkout machines and they pay for themselves in six months. Generally paying off a capital investment in 4 years is considered excellent. We know where this is heading. 3 D printers have replaced much of the Chinese manufacturing for export. The result is that for the last two years college graduates cannot get a job.

So it is easy for many to look at this and realize we are close to the end days. But they do not understand how close.

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

This is called the 70th week in Daniel, it is a seven year period and many assume it is equivalent to the seven year tribulation period. So it is very important and therefore we need to know what this "week" (shemitah) that Daniel is referring to means. When we say dozen we mean 12 of something. Here, when Daniel says "week" he means a seven year period. These seven year periods begin on Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets), but not only so they begin every seven years. How can we know what year is the first year for a shemitah? Well, every jubilee year is also the first year of a shemitah. On a jubilee year they will declare that Jerusalem belongs to the Jews. They did that on 1917 when they made the Balfour declaration, they did that in 1967 with the six day war and they did that in 2017 when Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem. These three are a strong confirmation that the year 2017 was the first year of a Shemitah year. That means 2017 until Rosh Hashanah on 2024 and a new Shemitah began this year on October 2. This also means that if this is not the 70th week you must wait another seven years until Rosh Hashanah in 2031. The problem with that is we are watching AI and robots rise right now. In seven years they will have already risen. If someone could make a persuasive argument for why the 70th week does not begin until the Fall of 2025, then maybe, but from my understanding, you will see layoffs continue at a incredible pace. Elon Musk is going to work with Trump to make the US government more efficient. My guess is his plan is to replace tens of thousands of government workers with AI and robots. If that is his plan then it will take place long before the next Shemitah could begin.

Also, if October 2 was the start of the 70th week we would expect to see the UN approve, or confirm, or strengthen a very important covenant. On October 2nd the approved the Pact for the Future which many have described as the biggest and most important covenant that the UN has ever confirmed. Basically in an emergency of pretty much any kind the UN can take over from all governments around the world.

1 Thessalonians 5:2. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

A thief in the night creeps in and tries to steal stuff while no one is looking and everyone is sleeping. This is what AI and robots will do, they will replace you. An Elon Musk Robot costs $120k. However, you can lease them for about $25k per year. Imagine an employee that works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, will not sue you, is stronger than your average man, and works for 25k a year. No one can compete with that. AI is even cheaper and even easier to roll out for white collar jobs. It is here, they are primed and ready to go to replace everyone's job. It usually takes 3-6 months to train the robot or AI to do a job. So you can imagine that Fortune 500 companies and large Franchises and chain stores will adopt this first. But just like Walmart put stores out of business, once they adopt this no one will be able to compete with them. It only takes 1-2 years for everything to get as bad as it is in China. There is no way we will be waiting another seven years.

When you look at the prophesy about this generation shall not pass away until all these things are fulfilled you could make a case for the 70th week starting in 2025. However, you can't make a case for it starting in 2031. So again, the more criteria we have the more limiting it becomes.

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 7)

Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

No doubt this applies to the all of human history. However, since the advent of the Newspaper this has increased greatly. Prior to that it must have been very hard to get that much news of wars around the world. Then with the advent of radio it would have increased more. Then with the Atomic bomb and two world wars I think the fear that something somewhere in the world could impact the whole world reached a new level. TV has exacerbated this and then the internet has caused rumors to explode. Anyone can say anything on the internet. So although this does not point to any specific year, it does tell us that this verse has increased exponentially. Think about the CIA, Mossad, KGB, MI6, etc. All these intelligence agencies are in the business of spreading rumors.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Again, we have had wars for all of human history, but world wars only began in the last 100 years or so. Also, why would people be that concerned about famines in divers places prior to international trade? But today we know that a war in Ukraine will make bread more expensive worldwide. Also, why would you care about a pestilence in Wuhan China before air travel? Prior to that they would come on a boat that took two weeks. By the time they arrived in port they would be sick and you could easily quarantine the boat. But now a person can go from one country to the next in three hours. Too little time for you to see if they are sick. Finally, "earthquakes in divers place". The only reason we know about them is because of seismometers. Yes, if the earthquake devastates a village they would have heard about it a few weeks later prior to the 20th century. But today if there is a big earthquake in Iran we know about it within five minutes. This verse makes the most sense when you have TV, international trade, air travel, and seismometers. Again, this doesn't tell us when, but rather pretty much eliminates any time prior to the 20th century, and really any time prior to 1945.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Why would this happen? We have the New Testament and the Old Testament. I can see prior to the printing press this might happen, but today, everyone has a Bible, why would this happen? This verse seems almost contradictory to the previous verses. Instead it is a further development of TV which is the mass manipulation of the populace. Kids spend 8 hours a day looking at a screen and the Prince of the power of the air understands he can use those 8 hours to brain wash and manipulate them. Manson did not deceive many. He deceived a few. The people we call cult leaders deceived a few. For a cult leader to deceive 100 people is quite extraordinary. But look at this recent election, millions were deceived. They had no idea that Trump was going to win by a landslide. How come? The TV can manipulate millions of people. Why did so many people buy into what Fauci said during the pandemic? Because the TV can manipulate millions of people. The deception during the pandemic was worldwide. It is not unreasonable to say that 1 billion people were deceived.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Gospel missions took off with the British Empire. Then in the 20th century many different groups send out missionaries. The Gideons are one such group and they have given away 2.6 billion Bibles in little over 100 years. But despite all this what has caused the gospel to really be preached in all the world is the internet, Youtube, Facebook and other platforms like this forum.

Once again we can see that since the year 2001 all of these prophecies have been shifted into high gear. But the biggest example of all these prophecies being fulfilled was the Pandemic and the Vaccine mandate in 2021. Prior to 2021 there was nothing on the same scale. The number of people deceived grew exponentially during the church age.
