The Return of a King Dream 10-23-21@4:51AM With Confirmation Part 2

Prophetic Dreams and visions from my lovely Jesus

“But I have been trying for many months now. How many days Flynn? How many days have you brought me down here to this river as we stay hidden out of view of those who have wrongfully stolen my kingdom? How many Flynn?” DJ asked. “Two hundred and seventy-four days,” he replied and then continued, "but we must keep trying. The people are losing hope, you must keep trying DJ.” Young DJ dropped his head for a moment then he looked up at the older man Flynn and he said, “You know Flynn, I almost had it the last time.” “I know DJ, I know,” Flynn said with a small smile crossing his serious face. He then asked DJ if he would like something to eat before he started again. “No,” he responded, “because then I would have to wait longer before I can reenter the river and try again. I'm going back into the water now.” “You are sure you do not need to rest a few more minutes?” Flynn asked. “No Flynn” came his reply then he continued. "The people are suffering. I can't save them. You are right in this, but I can keep trying so I can be returned back into my rightful place and possibly ease some of the burdens” Flynn replied, “Well said DJ and spoken like a true leader.” With that being said, young DJ headed back into the water. I noticed his hair had partially dried from the sun which God had allowed to shine upon them. But I also knew somehow in this dream it didn't matter what the weather conditions were or what temperature both DJ and Flynn had been at this river every single day since they had to leave his kingdom. While hiding in the shadows trying to help their people the best they could. In this dream I found myself wondering out loud to Jesus why must he break through the water forcibly with his face? Why did it have to be his face? “Jesus,” I asked, “will You tell me why?” “Yes Child,” He answered and then spoke. “The river or the water is a representation of people.” “Okay but why does he have to break through the water or the people with his face?” I then asked again. “The face is by what means a person is most recognizable. There are other means but for the majority of people the face is how they determine who you are. Once young DJ can break through the force of the water or the people with his face then he will be recognized for who he really is, which is the rightful leader. The ruler and he will be able to return to his position as king, as ruler over his land,” my Jesus said. “But why must he break through the water, the people with such force because it would take a mighty push and thrust of power to break the water's surface without the ability to launch from the bottom. And even if he could push from the bottom the resistance from the water's pressure would still make it a difficult feat to accomplish would it, not Jesus?” I asked. “Yes Child,” He responded. “It would be difficult but not impossible. Sometimes Child even force must be used to accomplish the good. In this instance force must be used to push through the body of water or evil people who have wrongfully stolen his kingdom and abused his people. For DJ to return to his rightful place as ruler of his land he must force his way while drawing on his inner strength that comes from Me.” “Is DJ one of yours then Jesus? Is he saved? Is he a Christian?" I asked. “No Child he is not but he has been called and raised into his position for this set time of life upon your world.” “What will happen then Jesus if he pushes through the surface with his face? What happens next?” I asked. “It's “when” Child and not "if.” Quite simply Child he will return to his position of power that is rightfully his and no longer operate in his power from the shadows as he has been,” He responded to me. I looked out upon the river once again as I watched DJ come up from the water barely breaking the surface as Flynn gave him a reassuring smile. I felt in this dream that even though his eyes never closed this man was praying for DJ to succeed. I watched for a little while longer as DJ with each try, each attempt became more and more determined to succeed. I heard Flynn yell out, "You're getting closer DJ,” which spurred his action once again. All of a sudden, I felt a tingle in the air as if it had become charged with power and I watched as from out of the water with incredible force and speed DJ came face first out of it. But then something incredible happened. Instead of the face of young DJ emerging from the water, I saw the man Donald J. Trump come out and he was dressed in a blue suit with a white shirt and a bright red tie. He was completely dry! “Mr. President,” I hear Flynn say. “You have done it. What now Sir?” he asked him. “Tomorrow we return Flynn and take back my kingdom, our land.” Then the dream ended.

He has a nice list, but one issue with his list is the idea of a rebuilt temple. It took 40 years to build Solomon's temple. I have heard people say this temple could be prefabricated and already built, only requiring them to assemble it. Personally I highly doubt that. If the Jews were to rebuild a temple they would have the money, the resources and the desire to make it the most extraordinary place on earth. They aren't about to bring in a rinky dink temple.

No, the prophecy says that the tabernacle of David will be raised. The prophecies say that the abomination of desolation will be in the Holy Place where it should not be. It doesn't say inside the temple, simply inside the Holy Place. That could be in the tabernacle of David every bit as much as the temple.

Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

If you read these verses it comes as a big surprise. If they had built the temple first how could it be a "big" surprise. The minute they begin to build the temple the whole world would be filled with people referring to the prophecies. However, if they raised the tabernacle of David in Shiloh, or even at the temple mount it could be done as a surprise, perhaps hidden from view. So you could be going about your business, even at work when you learn the tabernacle of David has been raised again and they put the abomination of desolation in the Holy Place!

Hebrews 11:22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

I was amazed, this is what they mention in Hebrews 11 concerning Joseph? Not his dreams, not his interpretation of the dreams, not his saving people alive during the famine, and not his reconciliation with his brothers. Why?

Hebrews 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

If the Jews had not left Egypt Joseph's legacy would have been that he was Prime minister in Egypt and helped bring the children of Israel into Egypt to be slaves. If they had not left Egypt by faith, then Joseph would not have been made perfect. Now, the faith they needed to leave Egypt was the same faith that Joseph needed to leave his prison cell. All of these ones that made it into the Faith hall of fame did so because they were able to share their faith with others. We don't remember Joseph because he was prime minister of Egypt, we remember him because he had the faith that can help us leave prison and walk in the resurrection life.

Hebrews 11:21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

Can you imagine of all the things that Jacob did this is what Hebrews 11 mentions? Not even the blessing on the 12 sons, just the blessing on Joseph's two sons. So, what was that blessing?

Genesis 48:19 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.

This is it? Saying the younger brother would be greater than the older brother? I suppose that sums up Jacob's entire life and how his faith was greater than Esau's. But think about it, no one would remember Jacob if that was the end of the story. The only way Jacob is made perfect is if this faith is passed down from one generation to the next.

Hebrews 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 8)

The day of the Lord is at hand

Joel 1:1 The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. 2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?

This was the crucial revelation during the pandemic, it had never happened before. People wanted to say it had. We had had pandemics before. That was true, the 1918 flu, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that someone examined deaths around the world that they realized it had been a pandemic. This was the first time in human history that the whole world responded to a pandemic. They argued that we had had quarantines and shutdown of the economy before. Again, that was true on individual streets and parts of individual cities. But never did we have a worldwide shutdown. They argue that doctors wear masks so it is no big deal that they mandate masks for us to wear. OK, doctors wear masks so that they do not accidentally spit into an open wound. If the person is contagious with a deadly disease they wear a respirator. Those cloth masks did not protect anyone from a virus. Now granted, if you were to cough in someone's face having a mask on would offer some protection. But that is why we put up cough shields. They argued they were following the science to require six feet between people in the social distancing, but the scientific paper this was based on said three feet would be adequate. But then they wanted to save us from a pandemic with a vaccine. That also has never been done. People will argue, what about Polio? So, let’s consider polio. There were infected ponds that kids were swimming in and would get sick. The way we put a stop to the epidemic was to test the water in ponds and then put up signs warning people that it was infected. The vaccine for Polio came around much later and that helped us “eradicate” polio. An epidemic is always the result of unclean practices, you clean up those practices and you will put a stop to the epidemic. For example the best way to deal with Covid was not any of the steps they took. Instead all you need to do is take the temperature of people before they enter the office or the business. If they don’t have a temperature that is fine. Being exposed to the virus is how your body develops immunity, the issue is the viral load. If someone is very sick and with every cough is sending out a huge viral load that is what you want to avoid. Also, the virus only survives for 15 minutes or less outside in the sun. All those “super spreader” events that they claimed were the Trump rallies didn’t see anyone get sick. They must have been exposed, but they were exposed to dead or weakened forms of the virus in very small quantities. Therefore they were able to develop immunity.

3 Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

We all need to learn from this. Satan gets released again in a thousand years so we all need to be immunized to his lies and deceit.

4 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten.


The Covid virus was like four different viruses spliced together in a bioweapons lab. The goal was to bankrupt the world's economy which is based on agriculture. Some have argued that Covid 19 stands for Certificate of Vaccine ID AI (AI these are the first and the ninth letters in the alphabet). If there is a very serious famine then they can enact emergency measures which includes a digital currency. If they have a digital currency they will gain much more control over people.

5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.

In the New Testament the Lord warned the church that some would drink with the drunkards and not be watching when He comes. Instead they will sleep. If you spend 3 or 4 hours a day watching TV you are drinking with the drunkards. If you allow MSNBC and CNN tell you what you are to do and what you are to believe then you have allowed them to mesmerize you. Jesus warned us that there would be many false prophets and false Christs. Some think He was talking about Jim Jones and Manson and people like that. 909 people died in the Jonestown mass suicide. 17 million excess deaths took place in the US from the Covid vaccine. The US represents 5% of the world’s population so for all we know it may have been more than 300 million who died worldwide. So who is the real cult leader, Jones, or Fauci?

6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.

This is interesting, Covid is being described as an invading army. Ironic as it was designed in a bioweapons lab and the purpose was to create a crisis that digital currency would be the solution. One world digital currency is what will give the Antichrist supreme power.

7 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.

8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.

9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the Lord's ministers, mourn.


This also never happened before. In the US they shut down churches nationwide. You might argue that it was “temporary”. Really? How many churches went online and onto Facebook with their services? All the members of the church subscribe to that facebook page. As a result the government now has a list of every member of every church.

10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

I have noticed this. Cereal boxes are smaller, and there are frequent shortages of various items. I was at a local restaurant for breakfast today and they were out of eggs. The previous week they were out of brown sugar.

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 9)

11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.

If you have been paying attention in the US they had over 120 food processing plants sabotaged in a two year period and innumerable food recalls. Some would claim that recalls are to keep us safe. Others claim the recalls are for the US government to stock their underground bunkers.

12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.

13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.

14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord,

15 Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

This is the point, this is what you see that alerts you to the day of the Lord being at hand. It isn’t simply a famine, we have had those. It isn’t simply an epidemic, we have had those. It isn’t simply a plague, we have had those. No, it is all three worldwide, that was made in a bioweapons lab and is fully surrounded by lies.

16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?

17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.

18 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

19 O Lord, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.

20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

It is perplexing. Desolate, withered and perplexed. I remember many small business owners were made desolate by this, their business withered and they were perplexed. In NYC they have a casino near my school that I drive by. That was not shut down. I shopped at Costco each week, but it was not shut down. But small businesses were and churches were. That was perplexing. Has this ever happened before? No. OK, so the Pandemic began in NYC in March of 2020. Prior to that it was in China in the Fall of 2019. The worldwide shutdown of the economy took place on the Feast of Trumpets in 2020. That was announcing that the day of the Lord was near. One year later on the Feast of Trumpets in 2021 they had a worldwide vaccine mandate, and that was a violation of international law. In my opinion that was the start of Jacob’s trouble, a ten year period that culminates in Armageddon and the day of judgment.

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 10)

Some interpret Joel to refer to the events that take place during the seven year tribulation described in the book of Revelation. But Joel clearly says that you are to declare a fast and pray because the day of the Lord "is at hand". The word means "near". The first time it is used the angel tells Lot to flee into the city because it is near. In exodus when they are preparing for the Passover if the lamb is too much for your house invite your neighbors in the house next to yours. That word for next is what they are saying "is at hand". Five times in the Bible it is translated as "neighbor". So the description of what takes place during the Day of the Lord cannot be the same as what happens near to the day of the Lord or the time that is next to or right before the Day of the Lord starts.

קָרוֹב qârôwb, kaw-robe'; or קָרֹב qârôb; from H7126; near (in place, kindred or time):—allied, approach, at hand, any of kin, kinsfold(-sman), (that is) near (of kin), neighbour, (that is) next, (them that come) nigh (at hand), more ready, short(-ly).

Interestingly it is also used to mean a near kinsman.

Ruth 3:12 And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer H7138 than I.

Joel is describing the "near kinsman" to the day of the Lord. We are told by Jesus that it will be like the days of Noah and the days of Lot. So if people are going about their business prior to the Day of the Lord just like the people during Noah's time before the flood and the people during Lot's time before fire fell on the cities, then it can't possibly refer to the cataclysmic events that wipe out 50% of humanity. That is 4 billion people. However, it is a near kinsman to those events, so we can expect tens of millions even hundreds of millions of deaths. That is what we had with the Pandemic and the impact of the vaccine.

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 11)

Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

This is what we were supposed to be doing since 2021. To blow the trumpet, to sound the alarm that the Day of the Lord is coming, that is what you do on the Feast of Trumpets.

2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

This is referring to what takes place in the Day of the Lord, but this verse is warning us about what is coming. In the years after the Pandemic many countries were floundering and struggling. Russia invades Ukraine in 2022.

3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

This is what we have seen. Prior to the pandemic it was the garden of Eden, after the pandemic we saw many countries all over the world experiencing inflation, protests, riots, and war.

4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. 5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. 7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: 8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. 9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. 10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

This army is what is coming during the Day of the Lord, however, the Pandemic was a near kinsman, the next door neighbor. We had social distancing in which each person marches everyone in their ranks without anyone breaking ranks or pushing on others. We had the virus which went everywhere, even Trump got sick and Kavanaugh got sick. So the Whitehouse and the Supreme court. The pandemic devoured the economy. By the time the day of the Lord comes along all that is left is stubble. People were much pained by the pandemic, but that was only a shot across the bow compared to what is coming.

11 And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

Before His army, this sounds like the trumpet blast that precedes the rapture of the saints who will make up His army.

12 Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

Do you see how this period from the Pandemic is a warning to us of what is about to come and that this time is given to us to repent? God is merciful and kind.

14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the Lord your God?

There are going to be those left behind but our prayers can make a difference. Imagine what would have happened if Harris were president during the Day of the Lord.

15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

Blow the trumpet in Zion, that can signal that the Lord is coming, but they did that in Chapter 1. It can also signal that a war is starting. This takes place after the church has prayed.

17 Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

The US is about to be attacked. I view Israel as being composed of two kingdoms, one is called Ephraim and the other Judah. I think the US, where 49% of the world’s Jews live is present day “Ephraim” and Israel where another 49% of present day Jews live is Judah. The US is going to be invaded, we have been warned repeatedly, and we should be praying to the Lord to spare His people and to not give His heritage to reproach.

18 Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people.

The US is fat and lazy. When they go through famine, war, plague and hardship they will turn to the Lord and then He will pity His people.

19 Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: 20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.

The only country North of us that might attack is Russia.

21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things. 22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. 23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.

God is correcting us, not destroying us.

24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. 25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. 26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

You learn from your mistakes. After this we will know what it is to follow the Lord, trust in the Lord and obey the Lord. As long as we do that we shall never be ashamed.

27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

I have never seen so many dreams and visions from the people of God being shared on the internet. This takes place right before the rapture.

29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

The great and terrible day refers to the rapture. For those who are raptured it is great, for those left behind it is terrible.

32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

After the rapture of the spirit filled saints the Lord will move His attention to Israel and Jerusalem.

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 12)

3:1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

This refers to the 70th week of Daniel.

2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

Notice the switch from future tense (will bring them down) referring to Armageddon in the future to the past tense (they scattered His people and parted His land). This tells us that prior to Armageddon they will divide God’s land. The book of Joel is giving us a picture of what takes place prior to the 7 year tribulation known as “the Day of the Lord” that tells us when the Day of the Lord is at hand. The Pandemic, the vaccine, followed by wars like a burning wildfire, and then the parting of God’s land.

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 13)

Joel 3:3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.

The movie "The Sound of Freedom" is no small thing, it reveals this human trafficking that is going on. Apparently there are 300,000 children lost who came across the border of the US. This kind of crime is something that God will repay swiftly. First He reveals it, separates those who are involved from those who aren't and then judges. Epstein Island and the Diddy parties are more examples.

4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;

This is where Hezbollah is attacking Israel from Lebanon.

So we learn from the first four verses in chapter 3 that they will part the land of Israel, and we will see that they are involved in human trafficking of boys and girls, and that Hezbollah is attacking Israel. These three things that we are seeing right now are fulfilling this prophecy of what we will see prior to the rapture.

Key Bible verses about when the rapture will be (part 14)

Joel 3:9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:

The seven year tribulation depicts a war. Perhaps it begins with Ezekiel 38 and 39 war and ends with Armageddon. However, this proclamation of a war among the Gentiles, that is the trumpet blast. You can look carefully at the verses where Paul refers to the Last Trump and the twinkling of the eye and in a moment and that can be interpreted as the declaration of war that is a nuclear war. The trumpet was used to sound the alarm of war. If you are sounding the alarm for the last war then that would be the last trump.

10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. 11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord. 12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. 13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

The last seven years is when God is judging the lukewarm Christians, the nation of Israel and the nations. Jesus is Lord of all. Everyone belongs to Him and all are accountable to Him.

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

Even at this point the day of the Lord is near. Today the whole world is in the valley of decision. The election for the US president was a valley of decision. The UN, Europe, Iran, Ukraine, Russia, the US, China, Lebanon, Gaza, Israel, Yemen, there are multitudes and multitudes in this valley of decision.

15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

16 The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

17 So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

This of course refers to the rapture, and to the Lord's appearing in the clouds, and to the raising up of the two witnesses after lying dead in the street for three days and to the rescue of the Israelites. So you can see from this prophecy in Joel we are right on the precipice of the rapture. Currently we are about six months away from verse 4 where Hezbollah joined the battle. Today Israel is being attacked on 7 sides and Russia and China are stepping in to help Iran. This is the multitudes and multitudes in the valley of decision.

18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.

After these next seven years are over we do have a promise of future blessing and peace.

The United States in End Time Bible Prophecy

Iran, Russia, China, Germany, Britain, Lebanon, Gaza, Jordan, Yemen and Syria are all prominently mentioned in end time Bible prophecy. Do you really think that the US would not be? Does that really make sense?

So then, let us consider what we know about the US and see if we can find it in the prophecies.

1. The US has 49% of the world's Jews. Israel also has 49% so the Jews are equally split between the US and Israel. In the Old Testament Israel was split between the Southern Kingdom called Judah and the Northern Kingdom called Ephraim. The Northern Kingdom was ten tribes and the Southern Kingdom was two tribes. Between the two I would equate the US to the Northern Kingdom, so we need to know more about Ephraim.

Ephraim was the younger son of Joseph, Manasseh was the older son. Israel blessed them and said the younger would be greater than the older. These two sons represented the double portion that Joseph got for being the first born.

So let's look at the blessing to Joseph

22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:

23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:

24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)

25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:

26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

This is a blessing on scientists. It was scientists in Germany that discovered our modern techniques for making fertilizer which is considered the biggest reason for feeding so many. He was shot at but his hands were made strong by the mighty God of Jacob. This is scientific developments in war. Blessings from the heaven above, you are talking about satellites and telecommunications. Blessings of the deep that lieth under is referring to oil wells, mining and other wells. Blessings of the breast and womb indicates biotechnology. Joseph represents scientists. Manasseh the older brother represents Germany and the US, is Ephraim, the younger brother that is greater than Germany.

So then there are many Old Testament prophecies that refer to Ephraim and I believe many of these can be applied to the US.

2. Sodom and Gomorrah. There was a famous gospel preacher who said that if God didn't judge the US He would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. This is very true. There are cities in the US that are every bit as profane and evil as Sodom and Gomorrah was. Yes, we have some who are righteous, Christians who worship the Lord Jesus in Truth. But Sodom and Gomorrah had Lot who the Bible says was a righteous man. NYC, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Miami, and Hollywood can all be depicted as the modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.

So again, I think references to Sodom and Gomorrah in the prophecies may also be applicable to the US. But remember, these were cities of the plane. Their situation was not the situation in the whole country but in certain wealthy cities.

3. The US is the wealthiest and most powerful superpower on Earth. In all of human history we never had a nation this wealthy and powerful before. That would mean it is similar to Babylon, the golden head in Nebuchadnezzar's dream. So if we go to Daniel we see a variety of end time types and shadows. Daniel in the Lion's den depicts the pre-tribulation saints, Daniel's three friends thrown into the furnace of fire depict the tribulation saints and the writing on the wall depicts Daniel warning of the sudden destruction that comes upon Babylon.

We just had three solar eclipses (2017, 2023 and 2024) that wrote Aleph Tav (Alpha and Omega) over the US, and that is referred to as the "writing on the wall".

So in Revelation when it describes "Mystery, Babylon the Great" whose judgment comes in one hour, just like the judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah came in one hour, it that is not referring to the US then who could it be referring to? No other country could be called "Mystery, Babylon the Great" today other than the US. If you consider the US prior to Teddy Roosevelt and compare them to the US after Franklin Roosevelt it is a mystery how we became a huge superpower so quickly.

If we look at human history we see the diaspora since 70 AD that came to an end in 1948. During that time you have the pogroms and the holocaust until the Jews realized that if they did not return to Israel and take a stand they would be wiped out.

Repeatedly in the New Testament we are told that this punishment on the Jews and the blindness on the Jews will take place "until the fulness of the Gentiles (nations)". In 1920 the League of Nations was formed. In 1948 the League of Nations becomes the United Nations. The European Union forms in 1993. There is a relentless move for the nations to stop squabbling and being divided and to be united. Ultimately the one world government that the globalists want will be the reign of the Antichrist. The groundwork for BRICS begins in 2009 as a response to the mortgage meltdown in 2008 which exposed how corrupt and evil the US is. The world leaders realized they could not continue to invest in the US dollar as the reserve currency. This was laying the groundwork for the Central Bank digital currencies which will in turn become the mark of the beast.

Woven into this is the development of the radio, TV, internet and social media. These things are essential in having a one world government that can manipulate the entire world's population. AI also developed rapidly, breaking down the language barriers that have existed since the tower of Babel was judged. After 911 the US wrote a blank check to develop drones and robots. These were controlled remotely giving the US military the data they needed to train their AI. Today the wars in Ukraine and Israel are being fought with AI controlling the drone swarms. These drones are a fraction of the size of our best fighter jets and so can be made even stealthier. Since there is no pilot they can be made to travel faster and make more abrupt turns. They are also a fraction of the cost of those jets. Faster, stealthier, a fraction of the cost, and if they get shot down you don't lose the pilot. We are now seeing the rise of the Beast system, an army that everyone will say "who can make war with the beast?"

Meanwhile Trump moves the US embassy to Jerusalem in 2017 and the Abraham accords are made in 2020. They are trying to change laws to the Noahide laws outlawing the worship of Jesus and making it a capital offense, again ushering in the Mark of the Beast and making the worship of the Antichrist a pillar of this new world government. Starlink has put up the communications web into orbit that can handle this global digital currency to be deployed worldwide. In order to have the mark of the beast we needed AI, Quantum computers and Starlink. We now have all three and so we are ready to roll this out. They are also pushing the US dollar to the brink of bankruptcy as a crisis that they can then solve with this digital currency.

Now consider this, Jesus said that we should forgive people 70 x 7 times, or 490 times. If you divide the New Testament into odd books and even books the odd books have almost twice as many words as the even books and yet both odd and even books each mention Jesus 490 times. A testimony of Jesus' forgiveness of our sins. Jesus is referenced 980 times in the New Testament (there are a few other people named Jesus so you have to remove them from any search you do). Now, church history is two times this, or 1,960 years beginning with the diaspora in 70 AD. Therefore we are heading for Armageddon in 2030 AD on the 9th of Av (in August).

What do you think?

Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

God is omniscient, He knows our thoughts. Satan is not omniscient. We can guard out thoughts from him, we are given a helmet of salvation to protect our mind from him trying to inject thoughts.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

These are the things that we should be thinking on. However, in the New Testament it is clear that many thoughts are not like this.

Matthew 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

This is very first reference to our thoughts. Paul tells us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling, that is the fellowship of the apostles in contrast to this arrogant thought.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

This is the second. This thought is prevalent among the apostate churches, "we are no longer under law". Paul tells us that law was like a school teacher in Elementary school leading us to grace which is our High school teachers. Just because we are no longer under that first grade teacher doesn't mean we now simply ignore everything we were taught.

Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

This is the third. God knows our thoughts and these are the big three errors we make. The key factor in prayer is faith, when you ask believe that you receive. How can you do that? Well, make sure you are asking according to God's will and your prayer is aligned with the word of God. If so, you believe the word of God, so it is simple to believe you will receive because you asked according to the promises in the word of God.

Matthew 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

Jesus had told a man sick of the palsy that his sins had been forgiven him. They immediately thought in their heart -- 'Aha, He is a false prophet, what He just said is blasphemy!' So then why did they think this? They would likely tell us they were trying to discern whether or not Jesus was a prophet. But discernment does not mean you are looking for a way to say the person is a false prophet. They were thinking evil because they were biased and wanted that outcome. Why did they want Jesus to be a false prophet? Because many of the things He said convicted them of sin.

Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Think about this. You have those who are trying to twist every word into proof that Jesus is a false prophet and you have those who are trying to project their own hopes onto Jesus. You want peace, you don't want a spiritual warfare, so then you try to teach that this is what Jesus wanted.

Adjust your thinking

Matthew 17:25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

Matthew 18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

Matthew 21:28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

Matthew 22:17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

Matthew 22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.


The Bible adjusts our thinking. We are all born thinking wrong, we need to be readjusted. The only way that I know of is by reading the word of God, meditating on the word of God, fellowshipping the word of God, praying over the word of God and memorizing the word of God. But, what does this have to do with the rapture?

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