Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

Joshua 2:10 For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

11 And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the Lord, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:

13 And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.

14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.

16 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

17 And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.

19 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.

20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

21 And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

Bible verses that point to the rapture March 13th/14th (2a)

I wanted to go over these verses a second time in a little more depth.

1. Daniel 5:29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. 30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.

We have had the writing on the Wall sign, three solar eclipses that have gone over the US writing out "Aleph Tav", or "Alpha and Omega", the Lord's initials. The interpretation is that the US will be judged and according to this verse it happens that same night that it was interpreted. There are books written expounding on this sign and youtube videos. The sign is truly amazing and an event that has likely only happened this once in human history. The sign was completed in April of 2024 and then interpreted. If we view one year as one day then the night would be from the Fall Equinox to the Spring Equinox, March 21, 2025. This is reasonable if viewed from the North pole as one day at the North pole equals one year. This verse would indicate that this will take place prior to that date and in this sign we see a picture of the rapture: Daniel is lifted up at the same time that Babylon is destroyed.

2. Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

The sun was turned to darkness three times from 2017 to 2024 in the Writing on the Wall sign and then the Moon is turned to blood on Purim, 2025 and was turned to darkness on Purim 2024. The context of this verse is Joel describing a worldwide Pandemic and global shutdown that had never been seen in human history. Joel 1:2 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? On March 11, 2020 the WHO declared a global Pandemic, that was Purim in 2020. So then the context of this blood moon is a global pandemic and shutdown of the economy never before seen, along with the Sun being turned into darkness three times and the moon into blood. By itself this prophecy is meaningless because there are solar eclipses and lunar eclipses every year. But in the context of the Pandemic in 2020 this is extremely meaningful.

3. Daniel 4:29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. 30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? 31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

We can make several connections between Donald Trump and Nebuchadnezzar. Recently he referred to himself saying "Long live the King" and he also posted a picture of golden statue of himself. We can even imagine Trump making such a boast. He is also working on a peace deal with Gaza where he will split Israel. By itself this would be impossible to interpret, but Purim is at the end of the year on the Hebrew Calendar, it is also at the end of 12 months after the last solar eclipse of the Writing on the Wall sign. Taken in context with everything else it does support a judgment falling on the US and President Trump on Purim, 2025. It is stunning that Joe Biden was president when the Writing on the Wall sign was interpreted and yet it is Trump who is President 12 months later. What are we seeing now with Epstein Island revelations, we are seeing the Biden administration being exposed, prosecuted and convicted.

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

The day appointed refers to both a full moon and an appointed day. Passover, the 15th of Av and Feast of Tabernacles all occur on a full moon. But those are key dates in the Old Covenant, so I never thought that would apply to us in the New Covenant. However, Purim is not an appointed day in the Torah. So although the story is in Esther and certainly applies to the Jews with the attempted genocide of them, this day straddles both Old and New Testaments. My point is that Purim is on a full moon and is an appointed day and certainly applies to all of God's children both Jews and Gentiles. In the book of Esther it even hints at this: Esther 9:12 And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done. 13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows. The New Testament is "tomorrow" and the Old Testament was yesterday.

Bible verses that point to the rapture March 13th/14th (2b)

5. Judges 16:23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.

This is the verse that has always caused me to reject Purim. There is no "great sacrifice unto Dagon" on this day. A month earlier on Valentine's day you do have a Pagan holiday and Catholic holiday, and a month later on Easter you also have a Pagan holiday and Catholic holiday. However, the funeral for a Pope would be a great sacrifice to Dagon and would cause all the prophets of Baal to gather in St. Peter's square. The funeral is 4-6 days after the Pope's death. If he dies after March 7th all the way to March 10th then we should realize this will be the day. Imagine the funeral is being live streamed to the whole world, all the bishops and cardinals are in St. Peter's square and then the rapture takes place and none of them are raptured. The whole world sees they lied to them and deceived them. But a funeral is far more perfect, because even on Easter they would not all be gathered together to St. Peter's Square, this would only take place on a funeral of a Pope.

6. 1 Kings 18:19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.

This is also a picture of the rapture where fire falls from heaven and then the false prophets are all gathered together at the same time and then killed. This is another picture of this great sacrifice to Dagon, but here we see it isn't a pagan holiday or a Catholic holiday, it is God calling them to this feast. That is what happens when God calls someone home, He is the one in charge of when their funeral will be. This is the big sign. I thought that Valentine's day filled a number of these verses and it did, but not this one. The prophets of Baal indicate the leaders of the Catholic church and the prophets of the grove that eat at Jezebel's table, those are the leaders of denominational churches that have been infiltrated by FreeMasons on the board of directors. Elijah slays the prophets of Baal and we know that the Beast will hate the prostitute that rides the beast and slay her. Revelation 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. This is what bothered me about the rapture, it needs to be done in such a way that it is crystal clear to all who the false prophets are. You can't do this during a church service because at any given moment there are 24 hours on earth, so it wouldn't be universally obvious to everyone on Earth. But, if you gather all the leaders of all these churches together in one place and live stream it right at the time of the rapture, well then, we would have a video record showing none of them were raptured and they lied to us. Also consider the great delusion, if they are all caught not being raptured what are they going to say? They will have no choice but to claim only "evil" people were raptured and since infants will also be taken everyone will know that is false and the liars will be exposed. Also, I never understood why the Beast would hate the prostitute (why would the new world order hate Catholics since they are working together). That is not why the Beast hates her, he hates her because she has been exposed as a liar and if he doesn't kill her he will go down with her. Why do mafiosos kill each other? Often it is your closest friend that kills you. Why? If someone makes a mistake that threatens the whole operation they kill them, simple.

7. Joel 2:23 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.

The latter rain comes down in the first month. That is Nisan. This is a reference to the revival that will take place, similar to the revival at the time of Pentecost after the Lord's resurrection. This indicates the rapture is before Nisan. The reason I have never liked the Feast of weeks for the rapture is because there are many verses like this that don't fit. My understanding of "no one knows the day" is that it is a puzzle, you have to put all the pieces together, no one puzzle piece has the answer. This verse tells you the revival that takes place after the rapture is in Nisan. Feast of weeks is 9 months before Nisan. That makes no sense. Feast of Weeks is not on a full moon. Yes, the Feast of Weeks does seem to describe a rapture, the waving of the two loaves, but the rapture before the tribulation includes the judgement of the Great Babylon, the whore, and we only see that in Purim and Hanukkah.

8. Mark 11:9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

The only gospel that does not record Palm Sunday is Luke. It appears that Luke is written to those who are raptured before the tribulation. The reason everyone comes out to worship the Lord on this day is because everyone has seen or heard about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Therefore this indicates that the rapture is a few weeks before Palm Sunday, just like Lazarus being raised from the dead was. This explains why it is not in Luke, they were raptured prior to this day. Luke 19:37b the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
Notice that it is His disciples who are rejoicing and praising God. In John it is "much people", in Mark it is "they that followed" and in Matthew it is a great multitude. John is giving us a summary, but the progression is "His disciples" --> "they that followed" --> "great multitude".

9. Zechariah 11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

We know that after the rapture the Antichrist is revealed and that he is the little horn that takes the place of three horns that are cut off. What we don't know is how long after the rapture. According to Revelation 17 it is the ten horns that hate her and eat her flesh and burn her with fire. This verse indicates it is one month after the rapture that the three horns are rooted up and replaced with the little horn. Daniel 7:8I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

To be rooted up means that their currency will collapse. We are told that Nebuchadnezzar which I believer refers to the USA will become a stump but the roots will remain. So the US is not one of the ten horns, but it is also not rooted up. Antichrist is a counterfeit Christ, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey proclaiming peace, Antichrist will be a counterfeit to the man of Peace coming in on a white horse to save everyone after the collapse caused from the rapture. It makes sense that he would appear at Passover. Jesus told Philadelphia they would be kept from the hour of trial and the hour of trial took place during Passover week. So we have many indications the rapture is before Passover, before Nisan, but this verse indicates it is one month before. Since this is a currency collapse and we know that there is a short period of time when the ten kings (BRICS) currency is used only to be replaced by the digital currency called the mark of the beast, I believe that this will be what those three countries being rooted up refers to. Antichrist could never be a world ruler as long as China and Russia survive, so I believe they will be two of the three horns.

The conclusion is very simple, if the Pope dies after March 6th but before March 13th then we should be very alert that the rapture will likely take place at the time of the funeral. This also gives us double meaning to this verse:

John 11:17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

Because the Pope's funeral is four days after he dies.

The 10 Holy Judgments Against America Dream 2-23-25 to 2-24-25 Shared 2-28-25

Click Bait is deceptive

Titus 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

Here are a few examples I am getting from Youtube today: "Europe is done", "Is America's gold really there?", "America in Chaos after Trump's shocking declaration". In every case they sound like something you have to listen to but are very vague. They glitter like a fishing lure, they promise a lot, but can't be tied down to anything.

Now look at the title of this blog: "Summary of Bible references on the Rapture". I intentionally wrote this to be the opposite of click bait, I didn't want anyone clicking on this through deception. If you want to know about the rapture and if you want to see Bible verses, then you would click on this. No promise to tickle ears, no "Warning, judgement is coming" or "God says you must read this". That is bogus, I know there are many, many people who speak for God and no one "must read this" nor would God even say that. Deception is growing exponentially now that we have AI and we have been warned that they are buying up Christian channels so they can be even more deceptive.

Now look at this channel "Prophetic dreams and visions from my lovely Jesus". That is precisely what you will get. If you are not interested in Jesus this channel is not for you. If you are not interested in prophetic dreams and visions this channel is not for you. She is very honest and frank, tells you right up front what you will get and there is no reason for anyone to click on her channel by mistake. If you compare her channel with this blog they are very different. I have shared a few of my dreams, but they are few and far between. That is not my burden, I am focused on the more sure word of God. But this is what I mean that God speaks through many people in many ways.

So then let's look carefully at what she just shared.

1. In all that I do at the start of it I give space for people to repent. -- This is a key principle that has also guided me. I knew that prior to the rapture we should be given a heads up. Lot was warned, Abraham was warned and Noah was warned. Because I knew this it gave me faith that if I held on and did not let go I would also hear those warnings.

2. She describes a river and a lake. -- This is also the vision I have. My thought is that every day we need to drink from the river of the water of life. I knew that many are out there busy, they are working, they don't have time to dig into everything going on, so I wanted this blog to be a place where they could come and get a drink every day.

3. He had known my thoughts once again -- This is a great comfort to me. Most of my prayers are in my thoughts. I have done this for fifty years. This was because of the way in which I was saved, it was as though that salvation had to be kept in secret. But this is also like those in the military. Some are stealthy like a submarine and some are out in the open like an aircraft carrier. She is out in the open, but that is just one of the many ways in which we are different. I have been led by the Lord to go in the path I am in and she has been led to go in the path she is in.

4. Where are we? Somewhere safe so we will not be interrupted. -- I really like that her videos do not get interrupted by ads and that is also what I like about this blog. This is a safe place you can come without being interrupted. Please do not misunderstand what I am about to say. A channel on Youtube that shares about Jesus and has ads does not in and of itself mean the person is a false prophet. However, false prophets will always try to make merchandise of you. Ads, selling books, asking for money, etc. I view it as a red flag. It does not prove they are false, but it does cause me to be much more alert and cautious.

5. "Before I move my hand in judgement I send warnings through my children for all who will listen and obey" -- This is very similar to the first point. For example before the vaccine mandate came out there were many warnings so that when it did come out I was already clear and began the process of resigning in 24 hours. My wife was not clear and waited until the very last day before resigning. But both of us were given space to resign and we both took it. After resigning I knew in my spirit we could no longer stay in NYC and so began the process of selling the house and moving. We received an offer as soon as the house was put on the market, but by the time we closed it was only days before interest rates rose. Had we waited any longer to sell the house we would have been broke. And yet the mockers and scoffers complained that the warnings had come and nothing happened for six months. It takes time to sell your house, pack up and move. God is merciful, He is wise, He is loving, He gives us that time when He warns us.

6. You are willing to sacrifice your time being with me hours at a time, you have proven your faithfulness to come be with me each day regardless of whether I speak with you or give you a dream or vision -- This is such a big point, you can discern those who simply want to be with the Lord each day and let Him take the lead and those who are desperate to have some big revelation or a video that goes viral. The scammers are desperate to predict the future as though that will help their ministry. When I started this blog it was for me. I made it public in case others were interested, but this was for me and it made no difference if anyone else came or not.

7. You have been obedient in sharing these things, not hiding the information even while knowing at times I could change what I have spoken because when my children pray it will cause heaven to respond in one way or another -- Again my speaking is quite different from hers, I do not try to predict the future, but sometimes I will hypothesize on how I think the Bible verses go together. I am applying a scientific approach to my study and making educated guesses is very scientific. I have also been attacked by others who say I have often been wrong. I always ask them to point me to the offending post and in all but one case they couldn't. I did make a mistake when I left the confines of the Bible and referred to someone who was sharing about predictive programming. I repented, confessed, and stick to the Bible. I have continued to share links from a few people who still look at predictive programming, but only if they tie what they are sharing to the word of God. The reason they never actually will quote my posts back to me is because the post makes it clear that I am making an educated guess and not claiming this is a prophetic word from God. She on the other hand claims her dreams and visions are prophetic words from God. Like I said, we are very different in our sharing but in the key scriptural principles we are one.

8. Because you spend time at my feet and I have also learned to trust you to also take time to write it out. -- This reminds me of the start of this dream with the river and the lake. A river passes along all the water it gets. The water simply flows through it. This is how you become a channel for the Lord. Because the Lord knows that the words He speaks to her will be shared with the body He continues to speak to her. We should all have this attitude, not to speak words that would lift us up, but to simply be faithful. to the Lord that He can speak through us to the Body.

9. Not skipping anything like some do because of the length and details that's being shown. -- Yes, I hate this. Too many are superficial with the word. I have come to realize eschatology is very complex. If you do not know the entire Bible you cannot possibly rightly divide the word concerning eschatology. One of my main concerns in starting this blog was to get all the details about the rapture that no one ever shares. Either the messages on this are simple and superficial or else they are focused on "when" even though the Lord made it clear that that would be the most difficult thing to know.

10. Finally she points out that she will often have to wait months or longer before the Lord explains something to her. That also is my experience. These ten points are in contrast to click bait. Click bait is like fast food, people want it quick and easy without any work. If you take that attitude you set yourself up to be deceived.

I have warned you ahead of time. May all who will listen heed this warning.

Discerning between the mockers and scoffers and the real prophets

1 Corinthians 2:7 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Mockers and Scoffers will claim that any prophet warning of impending danger is a chicken little. This will be correct 90% of the time as Black Swan events are very rare. When they are wrong they'll claim "no one could have foreseen this". For example after hurricane Katrina wiped out the 9th Ward in New Orleans George Bush claimed no one could have foreseen this. That was a lie. I had graduated from Rice University in Houston with a degree in Geology. We had professors and guest lecturers that predicted exactly what happened during Katrina and told us this would happen the next time a big hurricane hit New Orleans. I had a coworker who was from New Orleans and told me his father had ten rental properties in New Orleans and he was going to be rich. I told him the next time a big hurricane hits New Orleans those properties will be wiped out. He assumed I didn't like him or had some ulterior motive to say this, but sure enough within a year Katrina hit and his father lost everything.

The best movie about this is "The Big Short". In this movie one of the investors tells Michael Burry that no one can predict a market crash and Burry says that is foolish there are always signs. That illustrated a key point that all three investors spotlighted in this movie all believed it. They all had different strategies. Michael Burry saw historical signs and trends of a bubble in the real estate market, ignored conventional wisdom that real estate never goes down, and read through the most boring and tedious documents known to man. The second group a hedge fund operating on the principle that people are corrupt and lie. This is contrary to those who simply assume everything is working the way it is supposed to. The third group were operating out of their garage and based their philosophy on the principle that people don't want to think about negative things happening. As a result they underestimate risk.

So then we can look at history and go through documents with a fine tooth comb. That is the opposite of the lazy approach that simply follows conventional wisdom. We can also develop a nose for lies and BS. That hedge fund did their own research, they went to look at the properties, they went to talk to the people who sell the houses. The third group did a little of both, they did some research after Burry discovered the bubble, and they visited the people making the trades.

Now something was very interesting, the market stopped behaving properly. When underlying securities to the derivatives went bankrupt you would assume the rating on those derivatives would reflect that and yet they didn't. Likewise when the derivatives did not lose any of their triple A rating you would have expected they would have remained priced the same but they weren't. They were priced as though they had lost the rating even though they hadn't. The ratings were a lie and unless you did your own research you would have been deceived by those ratings.

This all applies to looking at prophecies. We have gone 2,000 years without the Day of the Lord coming. Therefore the mockers and scoffers have been right and those who became alarmed when some prophecies were fulfilled like Israel returning to the good land were characterized as "Chicken littles". But they weren't wrong, they were simply not well versed in all the prophecies concerning the Day of the Lord. Since that day many more prophecies have been fulfilled, again the watchmen raising the alarm were not wrong, they simply did not know the word well enough to make an accurate interpretation of what they were seeing.

Proverbs 22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

The three who were highlighted in the movie The Big Short were all diligent in their business and they all stood before kings. Meanwhile scammers like Bernie Maddof were exposed as well as superficial investors.

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Three types and shadows of the rapture

Any type and shadow is like a two dimensional representation of something that is four dimensional. However, if we take two different pictures of the rapture they are both pictures of the same event from different angles, that will give us a third dimension. If we take three pictures of the rapture that will give us four dimensions.

1. Samson, the strong man, is deceived by Delilah, his head is shaved indicating his nazarite vow has been broken, his eyes are put out indicating he was deceived, he is then taken into the temple to Baal on a great sacrifice to Dagon, and here he pushes out the pillars causing the temple to collapse killing himself along with all the evil people worshipping idols.

This is a picture of the rapture. Samson depicts the Lord as the Strong man. However, the Strong man is not the expression of Jesus that Philadelphia or Smyrna have, the two churches depicting the dead in Christ and those who are alive at His coming who are raptured. The Strong man is the expression we see in Thyatira and also Sardis. So Samson's death depicts what happens to those in the apostate churches, but the ones who are genuine believers. Delilah would depict the deep state that deceives the populist movement that is "Christian" but breaks their vow when they get involved with Politics. The Bible tells us that it is not by might nor by power, yet these believers think that it is by might and power they can bring in the kingdom. Based on this being during a sacrifice to Dagon we need to know more about Dagon. The hat that the priests to Dagon wear is the same hat that the Pope wears. As a result I looked at key pagan holidays that align with Catholic holidays.

2. Ahab and Jezebel are trying to destroy Elijah but can't, he then tells them that God has called for a great sacrifice on a mountain. They are to call 400 prophets of Baal and 450 prophets that sit at Jezebel's table to this sacrifice. They are unable to call down fire then Elijah remakes the altar, swamps it with water, and the fire falls. After the fire falls they take the 400 prophets of Baal and kill them.

This is the same event but from a different angle and we learn a lot. First, it is not simply the Catholic leaders who are at this event. I would compare the Catholic leaders (Bishops, Cardinals, etc) to the prophets of Baal. Jezebel is involved in Witchcraft, so to sit at her table means you are getting fed from FreeMasons. The Freemasons are now on the board of directors of all the major denominations. So I liken these 450 prophets to religious leaders in the major denominations. Now this changes the whole story. A pagan holiday that the Catholics also keep could be Christmas. But you would never have all the Bishops and Cardinals of the Catholic church and also of the denominations all gathered together in one temple to Baal, let's say St. Peter's Square, on Christmas. They would all be in their own churches. Also, according to this story it isn't a pagan holiday nor is it a Catholic holiday. Elijah tells them God is calling them all together. This is an event that God calls. Also it explains something else too, all of Israel is watching this event. This will be some big event, a sacrifice to Dagon, so it will be a Catholic event, that God calls, and that religious leaders from all over the world will attend. That means it is not a major religious holiday like Christmas or Easter. Also this event is seen by all of Israel, so it is televised. We are not talking about some ecumenical conference. No, the death of a Pope would be an event where you might see this take place.

3. Before the hour of trial Jesus goes to Bethany and raises Lazarus from the dead. This event is what sparks all of the believers to be rejoicing saying Hosanna to the Lord a few weeks later. When Jesus arrives in Bethany Lazarus has been in the grave for four days.

This is quite interesting and the four days are very significant. To the Lord one day is as a thousand years. Four thousand years ago we had Abraham, the father of faith. We are all children of Abraham, children of faith. Over those four thousand years many faithful servants have died and the Lord will go to raise them up. Had Jesus come at the time of Abraham they would not have died, however, because He has waited and come when He does we can know Him as the Resurrection and the Life. That is one side of the coin, the other side of the coin is that four days after a Pope goes in the grave they hold the funeral. A death is known as "God calling you home". So a funeral is a big sacrifice that God calls, and if it is the funeral of a Pope then it is a big sacrifice to Dagon. The Pope does not depict Lazarus, just like the story with Elijah there are two bulls sacrificed, those who are of faith belong to Elijah and those who are of idolatry belong to the prophets of Baal. But this confuses people just as was the case with Elijah and God calls this sacrifice to clear up that confusion. When everyone sees the rapture then they are clear who was telling the truth and who was lying. In both the story with Elijah, and with the story with Samson the false idol worshippers all die and are destroyed. It is essential that this event be seen by the whole world so that they see that the Catholic Church religious leaders and Denominational religious leaders are false. In the story of Lazarus they decide they must crucify Jesus because if they don't the whole world will follow Him. The lies and deceit no longer work, this is what provokes the tribulation and persecution of the believers.
