Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

John 10 The hireling sees the wolves and flees

1 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

Jesus the Good Shepherd

7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.

I was reminded of this passage because Kabul fell to the Taliban today. It seems very clear to me that Biden "climbed up some other way" to become president using fraud and a cyber attack through the voting machines from China. The president of Afghanistan was a hireling, a puppet that as soon as he saw the wolves coming he fled. He had a bigger army that was better equipped but he was a coward. I feel like this is very timely. The day of the Lord is when the full revelation of how evil and corrupt human government is will be made known to the whole world. The United Nations composed of globalists is "the beast" that whore of Babylon has been riding. The United States has become the great Babylon and our leaders like Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris represent the "whore of Babylon". The whole world views our politicians as whores who will prostitute themselves. At the end of the age the Beast will hate the whore and she will be "sacrificed", we see her burned with fire and naked. You can be sure there are many countries that hate the US and they see that now is their opportunity to act, strike while the skillet is hot. These audits could flip the situation any minute and Trump could be reinstated. Act while a feeble president is still officially "in charge".

17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”

19 Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings. 20 And many of them said, “He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?”

21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

At this point Biden's popularity is down around 30%. That is astoundingly bad and even the most favorable news media is horrified by what they are seeing in Kabul. The events of the last nine months have opened the eyes of the blind, they were rabidly anti Trump or "never Trump" and now they can see there is something worse than a guy who has mean tweets.

The Shepherd Knows His Sheep

22 Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch. 24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”

Wow, we just jumped to Hanukah. This is a key point to the tribulation, it will convince many people to repent. Before they believed in Jesus but thought Jesus freaks were too extreme or embarrassed them, or should not make waves or should not get involved in political issues. However, after the first rapture He who restrains will step aside and then they will see what the world is like with Antichrist and demons running wild. What we are seeing in Kabul is simply a foretaste of what we are about to see in the US. Once you realize the US is the Great Babylon the prophecies are very clear. In an hour she will fall, she will be destroyed, religiously, economically, politically. We will be burned with fire and stripped naked.

25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me. 26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one.”

There is only one good shepherd. Follow him. Do not follow the phonies. They may sparkle like lightening, they may be a pretty boy with a golden tongue. Just remember, Jesus laid down His life for you.

Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”

33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.” 39 Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.

Wow, they are threatening to fire people if they don't get the vaccine, and look how quickly people tremble over losing their job. There are 10 million job openings, you can get another job. Here they are threatening to stone Jesus and He doesn't blink.

The Believers Beyond Jordan

40 And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed. 41 Then many came to Him and said, “John performed no sign, but all the things that John spoke about this Man were true.” 42 And many believed in Him there.

This is the other thing, the more the tribulation heats up the more people will believe in Jesus. This is the revival you have been praying for.

Isaiah 9:18-21 Wickedness burns like a fire

18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire; it consumes briers and thorns, it sets the forest thickets ablaze, so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.

Is he talking about the protests, riots and looting? Is he talking about the record setting fires in the West? Is he talking about climate change? People got tired of using the term “apocalyptic” and “end of the world” to describe what they were seeing, now the phrase is “a year like no other”.

19 By the wrath of the Lord Almighty the land will be scorched and the people will be fuel for the fire; they will not spare one another. 20 On the right they will devour, but still be hungry; on the left they will eat, but not be satisfied. Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring: 21 Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh; together they will turn against Judah.

This is what the riots and looting do. They destroy businesses. They refuse to spare one another, even their neighbors, friends and family are collateral damage. They lose their jobs, they lose their business. The police do not know what to do, they can’t calm the situation. If they let them protest the businesses are outraged and hire militia. If they arrest them then the protestors are outraged, videotape it, upload to Youtube and it provokes more protests and more riots.

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.

It is definitely going to get worse. Unemployment will be through the roof and if they don’t continue to fund unemployment checks these people will starve and be on the street protesting and looting. The pandemic is not going away so businesses will need to continue to be in lockdown. As a result foreign trade and travel is down 30% causing catastrophic losses to many of our trading partners and countries that depend on travel. China is experiencing an unprecedented year in floods and infestations. This will push them to famine. If they buy up the world’s reserves of food it will push 3rd world countries like Yemen into horrific famine. The fires in the west are not done, October and November are usually the worst months. A major hurricane Delta is going to hit the US tomorrow. It is the first time in US history that ten named storms have hit the mainland. It is only the second time in history we have had to go to the Greek alphabet for named storms and Delta formed about six weeks earlier than Delta formed the last time this happened. Meanwhile everyone is on high alert concerning the 3 Gorges dam which is now at 172 meters, seven meters above the warning level of 165 meters and nine meters from the top. The spillways have been closed, which if they are unable to open could result in this dam collapsing. That would result in a Tsunami 500 feet high sweeping down the Yangtze river, wiping out an area where 400 million people live (that is more people than the US population). But there is more, it turns out that Trump is $400 million in debt and unless he wins reelection he is broke. It is highly unlikely that he could possibly win the election fairly so there is great concern about what will happen in this election. Most people want to mail in the ballot since there is a pandemic, but that could mean weeks of counting ballots after Nov 3 and the concern is that lawyers will lock up the process in the courts. How much will it take before people repent and return to the Lord. This chaotic mess will burn out of control until we return to our God to obey His commands.

The day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night part 6


There is another aspect to this verse that is just now sinking in to some, it is what the Lord said about "if you knew when the thief was coming you would have prevented him". The easiest time to deal with a thief that comes in the night is beforehand, to keep him from breaking in.

Right now there are those looking at this catastrophe in Kabul and the damage done to the US prestige and credibility and they realize the easiest way to have dealt with this would have been to prevent the 2020 election from being stolen.

Hebrews 12:1-9 -- Why is the church being shut down?

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,

It is wonderful to see that our country was founded by men of faith. They are a cloud of witnesses, our struggle is the same struggle that the Jews and Christians gassed in the gas chambers had, the same struggle that Israel had when they came out of Egypt. If you look at human history there is a great cloud of witnesses that have come before us, all of whom were looking for a better kingdom.

let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

I was with a small gathering to pray outside of Mike Pence’s house. While there people were driving by and screaming at us, “losers” and other things along those lines that I cannot repeat on this forum. One of the guys there got provoked by this, but it is a glory to experience the same things that these heroes of the faith experienced.

4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

I learned tonight about the “Black Robed Regiment” during the revolutionary war. The church and the pastors were called the “Black Robed Regiment” by the British because they saw them as the instigators and provocateurs to those who fought in the Revolutionary war. The shot heard round the world was done on the front lawn of one of these churches. The word of God condemns the corruption, it condemns those that would trample on the children of God, and it is the same word that led the children of Israel out of bondage. This is why they must shut down the church before trying a coup.

5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, 6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”

Think about that! How can these evil rulers get away with this? How is Pelosi worth $200 million? This is proof that God is not treating them as His children. They haven’t been chastened, they haven’t been disciplined, they haven’t been accepted as sons of God. They will get judged just like the tares, they will be bundled up and thrown into the fire.

So let’s appreciate the Lord’s discipline. Why are the churches shut down? Why would God do that? If you go back to the start of this country it was completely provoked by the preaching in the pulpit. The “Black robed regiment”. Study Valley Forge and you will know this country was born through faith in God. Any reasonable person would look at the situation at that time and say the continental army was dead. The freedom to worship is in the constitution, it is very clear that government has no authority to tell people of faith how to worship. Yet you let them tell you what you can and cannot speak in the church. We have been told clearly that you cannot speak anything that is “political” otherwise you lose your tax exempt status. Which of course is what really surprises me when I hear Jeremiah Wright preach (the guy who preached at Obama’s church) or this Warnock preach (Senator of Georgia). Their preaching is very political. It is hypocritical that you are not allowed to speak on certain topics decided on by the local government unless you also are espousing the platform of the party in power. If the government has no authority to tell you how to worship, how is it that they are telling you what you can and cannot say in the sanctuary? How can we say we don’t care about politics when politics is deciding what our children are taught, when they are deciding that there are multiple genders (I have lost count at this point but I know they are claiming more than 10). They are saying that elementary school age children have the right to declare they are a different gender and even support medical intervention to assist these elementary kids to make that transition. You don’t care who is elected even though one party is rabidly pro abortion?

From my reading of the Bible it is going to be very difficult for Christians to continue to gather as they used to. The whole idea that the lockdown of churches is temporary is a lie. The goal is to turn God’s people into beasts of burden to support the elite (any form of tyranny does this) where these people cannot think for themselves, cannot know God and cannot challenge the power structure. That was Pharaoh’s goal, Caesar’s goal, the emperor’s goal, and the goal of all empires. To accomplish that you must take charge of the education (which they have done). Require all the common people to be indoctrinated with your program (the elites can still send their kids to private schools). And you have to stamp out the church because the Bible is full of radical ideas like “the truth shall set you free” and “the light shined in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it”. China and Russia realized that they had to have complete control over the church otherwise it would shine in the darkness of their rule and overcome it. Sadly many Christians will not wake up until some saints get raptured.

7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? 8 If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.

The Bible says that we should not forsake the gathering together of ourselves and so much the more as you see the day approaching. I see the day approaching and yet the churches are shut down? Well, I gathered together with 20 saints this evening to pray for this country. I gathered with five yesterday evening and I gathered with two others this afternoon. When you see the day approaching you need to gather together, it will be more difficult, so you need to figure out how to do it. Use the internet, use Zoom, use whatever means you have.

9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live!

There are churches who have not submitted to this. I think everyone needs to be fully persuaded in their own mind as to how the Lord is leading you. This verse does not say you have to submit to the authorities, but rather to the Father of spirits. The Lord is speaking, are you a hireling, or a son. When you appear before the Lord will you have to give account of the saints under your care or give account to your tax exempt status? Is your Christian life going to end with a whimper or a bang?

Isaiah 5:25 Therefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people; He has stretched out His hand against them And stricken them, And the hills trembled. Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.

22 million acres have burned so far in Siberia. To put that into perspective about the worst fire season in US history we had 10 million acres burn. Already this is turning out to be another very bad fire season in the US and Canada, horrific fire season in Russia, Turkey, Greece and Sicily.

Hebrews 12:10-29 A Harvest of righteousness and peace

10 They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.

Whatever path you take make sure it is leading you to share in His holiness.

11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

The issue is not which is the easier path to take, the issue is which path produces a harvest of righteousness and peace. Which path will lead to you becoming a trained disciple of the Lord.

12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13 “Make level paths for your feet,” so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

How weak and feeble some Churches appear. Are they really in the image and likeness of the Lord of all?

14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

We are not trying to be disruptive. Since when is prayer and worship disruptive. We do everything we can to live in peace with others. But I have been commanded to not forsake the assembling of myself together with the saints. I want to live in peace but I must be faithful to the Lord and His word.

15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. 16 See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. 17 Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears, he could not change what he had done.

I believe that many believers like this Warnock have sold their birthright for a single meal. Claiming to be a “pro abortion” pastor is godless. I perceive that Reverend Jeremiah Wright has allowed a root of bitterness to grow up and has become defiled by it.

18 You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; 19 to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, 20 because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.” 21 The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.” 22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly,23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

The tyrants are the ones who are threatening people. There are two systems here, one keeps everyone in line with fear, the other is joyful, full of the righteous who were made perfect. There are two covenants, the better one is mediated by Jesus. Abel's blood condemns this evil satanic system, Jesus’ blood is the way out of this system.

25 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?

This is a word of warning. We are being disciplined because we did not stand strong by faith to worship God according to our conscience but rather allowed evil men to infiltrate the church and tell us what we can and cannot say. Their plan is to utterly destroy God’s people just as Haman tried to.

26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.

If you still think the US government is unshakeable you need to pray about it. When God shakes the US government and removes those that cause offense the entire world will be shaken.

28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”

Our God is a consuming fire. At the end of the age God sends forth the angels to bundle up the weeds and cast them into the fire first. This is before He raptures the wheat to the heavenly barn. On January 6 the representatives must make a stand and choose a side. Wheat on one side, tares on the other. Embrace the truth on one side, hold down the truth in unrighteousness on the other. Holding down the truth is like holding down styrofoam in a pool, you can do it, but it is hard, and it keeps popping up and shooting out of the water.

22 million acres have burned in Siberia so far this year. This is a new phenomenon, fires in Siberia. To put this into perspective a really bad fire season for the US is 10 million acres burned. This is now turning into the worst year on record for fires with catastrophic fires in Russia, Turkey, Greece, and Italy as well as really bad fires in the US and Canada.

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

The day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night part 7

So let's try and piece some of this together. The Pandemic is designed to bankrupt the middle class, but not to kill them. They need them as slaves and as those who will hold up and support the economy. Once they are bankrupt hedge funds filled with cash come in to buy up all the property. Why, do these rich people want to live in a bunch of middle class homes? No, they want to rent them out at exorbitant prices and rule the world. But then the Lord rescues His people with the rapture. What happens to their plan then? The slaves are gone and those who were going to rent your houses are gone. They have been robbed! The pit they have dug they wind up falling into themselves.

You don't want to miss your flight.

Hosea 6 -- The Lord is coming as sure as the Sun will rise

1 “Come, let us return to the Lord.

He has torn us to pieces

but he will heal us;

he has injured us

but he will bind up our wounds.

I would hope by now every Christian could see the error in supporting Biden. Hopefully the collapse of Kabul is the final straw. It isn’t merely Trump supporters who are saying he is unfit for office, we even have 14 Democrats publicly saying they don’t trust him to be the sole person in charge of the nuclear codes. He wants the US taxpayers to pay for abortions not just in this country but around the world. He portrayed Trump’s shutting down traffic to China as being Xenophobic and then denied he said that. Trump was vilified for saying that Hydrochlorquine could treat Covid19, Fauci said scientists had studied it and said it was ineffective and dangerous, yet that was a lie. Scientists have studied it and determined it is an effective treatment. They called Trump a liar when he said he would have the vaccine ready by the election, they said it would be a miracle. He did it. Biden said there was no vaccine when he took office despite the fact he got the vaccine a month prior to that and over 20 million Americans were vaccinated. They said Cuomo was the “gold standard” in how to deal with Covid and now we learned he is probably responsible for well over 4,000 additional deaths in NY by forcing nursing homes to take patients with Covid. Cuomo the "golden boy" with the Emmy has since been forced to resign over sexual harassment charges. Biden and Harris both guaranteed that they would not ban fracking and then banned it the first week in office. He claims to be lunch pale Joe and yet he has killed jobs and thrown the border wide open which will insure lots of people continue to work for minimum wage. For four years Trump did not start any wars and only got us out of wars. In his first month Biden starts up a conflict with Syria that could get us back into a war. Feminists now realize that everything they accomplished in putting women’s sports on an equal footing with men’s sports has just been undone with this Equality Act if it passes. The irony of what has happened in Afghanistan was from the most feminist administration in US history. It is also ironic that he said he would get us out of war, pulled out of Afghanistan when we had 2500 troops there and now we are sending in another 6,000 troops due to his ineptitude. If you don’t realize it now the Equality act will destroy churches and Christian schools. If you don’t abide by this law they will shut you down with lawsuits, if you do you will have no credibility with any genuine believer. We haven’t even discussed the corruption of Hunter Biden that Big Tech and the mainstream media censored prior to the election. Kerry said that those people who lost their jobs when Biden banned fracking and shut down the pipeline and stopped construction of the border wall could work making solar panels. 95% of those panels are made in China. The shut down simply took American jobs and sent them to China. After four years with Trump we were energy independent and after one month with Biden we aren’t any longer. Already gas prices have risen 50%. Biden promised to give every American $2,000 checks if they voted for the two senators in Georgia, but within a couple of weeks had reneged on that promise as well. This didn’t stop them from sending hundreds of billions of dollars to pay off campaign debts in their $1.9 trillion dollar “relief” bill. This bill is the biggest pork barrel spending bill in US history except that they just passed a second, $3.5 trillion bill. It set a record for the most pork in the first month of any presidency and the greatest increase in US debt ever. One Catholic priest called Joe Biden the most aggressively anti catholic president in US history.

2 After two days he will revive us;

on the third day he will restore us,

that we may live in his presence.

I have to think that this is a reference to the end of the age. With one day being equal to a thousand years we are now in the “third day”.

3 Let us acknowledge the Lord;

let us press on to acknowledge him.

As surely as the sun rises,

he will appear;

he will come to us like the winter rains,

like the spring rains that water the earth.”

Again more references to the Lord’s second coming. The Lord’s coming is as sure as the Sun rising. These terms that are translated as “winter rains” and “spring rains” are thought to represent rains that took place in October right before harvest and in the middle of March right after the seeds were sown. It is interesting to note that there are two raptures, one at the beginning of the tribulation and one in the middle. The second rapture is approximately 42 months after the first which would mean they are about six months apart on the calendar just like March and October.

4 “What can I do with you, Ephraim?

What can I do with you, Judah?

Your love is like the morning mist,

like the early dew that disappears.

5 Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets,

I killed you with the words of my mouth—

then my judgments go forth like the sun.

6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,

and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.

There are Christian organizations, Christian denominations and Christian ministries that are run like businesses. It is all about the money, the sacrifices, the burnt offerings. False prophets like Balaam and Judas are all about the money, that is their focus. The Lord desires mercy, he wants us to treat others with mercy and then he too will treat us with mercy.

7 As at Adam, they have broken the covenant;

they were unfaithful to me there.

If you read Genesis 5 it appears that Adam was the name of the first town.

8 Gilead is a city of evildoers,

stained with footprints of blood.

9 As marauders lie in ambush for a victim,

so do bands of priests;

they murder on the road to Shechem,

carrying out their wicked schemes.

Reminds me of January 6th and the riot at the capital. This wasn’t carried out by a bunch of marauders only. Pelosi helped by making sure there wouldn’t be any security.

10 I have seen a horrible thing in Israel:

There Ephraim is given to prostitution,

Israel is defiled.

Anyone paying attention these last few months has seen a wicked thing. The election was stolen, those who bring forth evidence to support that have been censored, black listed, cancelled, doxed, and accused of insurrection. The pandemic was part of their wicked scheme. Abortions for all are part of their wicked scheme. Putting RFID chips in everyone is part of their wicked scheme. Rewarding big tech by making them immune to liability and leveraging them to censor their enemies is part of their wicked scheme. Bankrupting the middle class to destroy democracy in this country is part of their wicked scheme.

11

“Also for you, Judah,

a harvest is appointed.

“Whenever I would restore the fortunes of my people,

The end of the age is likened to a harvest. The tares will be gathered and tossed into the fire. But at that time there will also be a harvest of the wheat into the barn and then the fortunes of the Lord’s people will be restored, just as He led Israel out of slavery and into the good land.

"Apocalyptic sky"

The Taliban is giving out "night letters" to Christians in Afghanistan, the letters are a threat that they know you are Christians and we will be back for you. This is a red sea moment for the believers in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile in China they just put out an editorial telling Taiwan that if they go to war with China that the US will flee just like they did from Afghanistan. This is a red sea moment for the Christians in Taiwan.

Psalm 66:12 You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.

I love this picture (2 seconds into the video), it shows everything burned to ash but the sign is standing unharmed and it says "The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent ye and believe in the gospel"

It is so clearly a message from God.

Hebrews 13:1-10 -- Keep on loving one another

1 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.

There has been a concerted effort for the last few years to divide Americans. They teach that people who support one candidate are “deplorable”, “irredeemable”, “chumps”, “racists”, “fascists”, etc. The basic strategy is to “divide and conquer”. The Lord’s strategy is to “keep on loving one another”.

2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

I was in Washington DC Jan 6th. The mayor has been inhospitable. Prior to the rallies the mayor shut down the city with all kinds of threats and concerns about the pandemic. Much of this is an illogical response. There have been numerous studies that show that viral load is critical in determining how sick people get. The reason people get sick and get the flu in the winter is because they go indoors. When you are indoors it is much easier to get a higher viral load. The Bikers whose event was called a super spreader event was traced back to a bar. Those bikers caught it while sitting in a bar. We have had rallies and protests for months and months and none of them have been super spreader events. These events are human based experiments and support this theory that viral load is much less outside than inside. If people feel they are in a category of most susceptible to the pandemic they aren’t going to come to DC. The rallies take place outside. If these rallies were super spreader events as they pretend then tens of thousands of Trump supporters would be in the hospital as he had massive rallies all over the country prior to the election. If you are outside and there is even a small breeze the virus gets dispersed in a huge volume of air. Yes, you can still be exposed to the virus but being exposed with a very small viral load does not make you sick, it makes you immune. It is the exact same concept as why we give people a vaccine. I was at the first rally in Washington DC with over a hundred thousand people. I was at Atlanta, I was at Harrisburg, and I was at the second rally in Washington DC. Almost everyone at these rallies has been to several rallies. Yes it is anecdotal evidence, but anecdotal evidence for hundreds of thousands of people. That is the same thing as experimental evidence.

The mayor has also been pushing privately to have the national guard arrest the protesters for “unlawful assembly”. The national guard has refused. I was stunned at all the boarded up businesses here clearly trying to protect themselves from BLM (they put up signs on the boards saying they support BLM). I learned that homicides skyrocketed by 40% her first year as mayor and I also learned that Blacks have been hurt more by covid in Washington DC than any other city in the US due to her missteps. Still others complain that the schools are a mess with cronyism and elitism allowing preferential treatment for the rich and well connected. On the flip side she is a black woman. This is known as “identity politics” rather than looking at a person’s resume. When I was at the rally one speaker asked who was there from someplace other than DC and it seemed that all the hands shot up. There will be a million or more visitors who will come to this city this week and see her incompetence.

3 Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.

The way they have treated people who were whistle blowers concerning the election fraud is horrendous. They dox them, they threaten them, they attack them and yes, they even imprison them. The US has not yet become Communist China, we are not treated as bad as people in China, at least not yet. However, the politicians that sold us out, sold us out to China, the Great Red Dragon.

4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

The US has become Sodom and Gomorrah. Epstein’s pedophile island has revealed how extensive and widespread this is among the elites, the rich and the powerful. This is one way that they are able to “own” these politicians and judges. One way is simply buy them off, the other way is to have compromising information about them. Suppose a judge went to pedophile island, if that information became public they would be ruined. Therefore they don’t dare go against those that blackmail them with that.

5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have,because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” 6 So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”

There are many who choose to do the right thing and have had their careers destroyed as a result. There are news outlets that were on Youtube but Youtube censored and banned them. They have gone to Parler and Rumble at great financial loss. There is a price to pay to take this path and the Lord has promised to never leave us or forsake us. Just pray, the Lord is my helper.

7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.

The Black Robed Regiment is just one example. It is wonderful to study the “biblical history” of the US. By that I mean the words of faith that impacted the course of this nation. Martin Luther King Jr., is a leader you can consider, Nelson Mandela is another, the apostle Paul, Peter, John and James are others. They suffered injustice, they were imprisoned unrighteously, they were slandered, stoned and many were martyred but despite all that they never turned to violence.

8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Look at the context of this verse. The things we are going through today are the same as they were a few years ago, a few decades ago, a few centuries ago, and even a few millennia ago. Likewise those who were one with Jesus in these trials were also the same.

9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings.

Strange teachings would definitely be teachings that are not in the Bible.

It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so.

The teaching that the bread and wine that we eat during the Lord’s table is magically transformed into the body and blood of Jesus is a strange teaching. Grace will strengthen your hearts, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. It is faith that strengthens your heart. Courage is the expression of faith, love and hope.

10 We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.

Remember our altar, the Lord’s table, who gave his body and blood for us. He has made a covenant with us and that gives us a right to eat from that table.

Protests concerning vaccine mandates in France

What is happening in Afghanistan is a warning to the entire world of the coming Tribulation.

Hebrews 13:11-24 Let us go outside the camp, bearing the disgrace He bore

11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. 13 Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. 14 For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

If you are following the Lord, if you are bearing your cross and following Him, then surely you will have to go outside the camp and bear the disgrace He bore. This is not about the city we have but rather we are looking for the city to come. Our testimony is that this world is satanic, evil and corrupt. Why would you be surprised that they in turn attack and insult you? This is the point of the mask mandate, vaccine mandate, they are going to "other you", turn you into a leper. So then, let us go to Him, outside the camp, bearing the disgrace He bore.

15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.

This is a great test, can you openly profess His name and give a sacrifice of praise? If you are involved in doing something shameful you can’t, if you are doing something that the Lord prohibits you can’t.

16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Regardless of the situation you can always do good. While being crucified the Lord told one of the thieves that he would be with Him that day in paradise. He saw His mother and told the disciple “behold your mother”, even while dying He is taking care of others and doing good.

17 Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.

Every leader has authority. Your boss at work has authority over you. They don’t have authority over your worship but they do have authority over the work you do in that job. The same is true of government leaders, they have authority over the city, state and federal government. They have the right to issue laws for your good. They don’t have the right to violate the laws of God. Ever since Noah human government has had a covenant with God to deal with murderers and provide a safe environment for us to live in. Rosa Parks refused to submit to a law that violated God’s law, Mahatma Gandhi also refused to submit to laws that violated God’s law. So then, if the law is according to the covenant that God made with Noah you need to submit, if the law violates God’s covenant then you can imitate the people of faith who have gone before us.

18 Pray for us. We are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.

The apostles were slandered and lied about, but the testimony is that they had a clear conscience and desired to live honorably in every way. We should imitate them and we should also pray for those on the front lines, they are taking the brunt of Satan’s attack.

19 I particularly urge you to pray so that I may be restored to you soon.

This is why I think this was Paul. This appears to be written primarily by one person but because the major revelation in this book appears to be something that both Paul and James discovered he may not have felt comfortable attributing this book as from him. There may have actually been many saints who saw bits and pieces that Paul has compiled here.

20 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

This is our prayer, that the Lord’s will would be done. We have been fully equipped, by saying “we” I am referring to the Body of Christ.

22 Brothers and sisters, I urge you to bear with my word of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you quite briefly. 23 I want you to know that our brother Timothy has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.

Again, this appears to be referring to both Paul and Timothy and it also seems they were both imprisoned.

24 Greet all your leaders and all the Lord’s people. Those from Italy send you their greetings. 25 Grace be with you all.

Joshua 6:1-20 -- Riding forth conquering and to conquer

1 Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.

Right now the world is terrified of the church, the gospel, and the Lord. They see everything that is coming true before their eyes and they know that means the day of judgement is near.

2 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. 5 When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”

This is a fantastic plan. Try and visualize a city that has a wall all the way around it. The wall is essentially a circle. It is supported on the inside so if you try to knock it down it will stand. The design is very sturdy at repelling those who are outside trying to get in, but it is very poor at stopping those on the inside from getting out. Now imagine you are in this city, locked tight and up on the ramparts of this wall you have soldiers watching what is going on. Everyone in the city wants to know “what are they doing?” They say “nothing, just walking around”. You think “no way, they are doing something, you are missing it, if I was up there I would see”. This goes on day after day after day. Finally on the seventh day they blast the trumpets, everyone inside knows that they are definitely doing something now and all around the city the inhabitants rush up the ladders to see what is going on and oops, there is nothing to prevent the wall from falling down flat. The world is shut up in this city being told to lock down and they know the people telling them what to do are lying to them. Even Bill Maher the atheist knows they are being lied to. Fauci and the others are the ones on top of the wall telling everyone in the city to continue being in a lockdown indefinitely, they know it is a lie. Outside this wall there are those marching around the city proclaiming liberty, blowing the trumpet, and lifting up the Lord Jesus. What do you think is going to happen when for 2,000 years the world has been told about the Lord’s return, the rapture, and the judgement and then they see the rapture?

6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.” 7 And he ordered the army, “Advance! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”

Now to do this properly you have to carry the ark, and to carry that ark you must be a priest who is sanctified. There is a proper way to bear the testimony of the Lord.

8 When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them. 9 The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark. All this time the trumpets were sounding. 10 But Joshua had commanded the army, “Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!” 11 So he had the ark of the Lord carried around the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there.

To give a shout is to give a Teruah. These trumpets and this shout both point us to the feast of trumpets. We are proclaiming the coming of the king, we are proclaiming that the Bridegroom cometh, and we are proclaiming that it is the Day of the Lord.

12 Joshua got up early the next morning and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. 13 The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark of the Lordand blowing the trumpets. The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the Lord, while the trumpets kept sounding. 14 So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days. 15 On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. 16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city! 17 The city and all that is in it are to be devoted to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent. 18 But keep away from the devoted things, so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction and bring trouble on it. 19 All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the Lord and must go into his treasury.”

This is quite significant because at the Lord’s return He will call His servants to make account and they will need to bring forth the talents He gave them and show what they have done with them. Nothing will be lost. Everything belongs to the Lord. If you were to steal one of the devoted things you would be stealing from God. Also note that Rahab the prostitute represents someone on the inside who helped spy out the city. Right now we have people on the inside telling us about the corruption, the sins and the crimes of the Democrats, of the Biden crime family, and of many in the deep state.

20 When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.

One translation is “they went straight up”. This is a picture of the rapture. It will be a glorious victory for the gospel. It will be our entry into the good land. It will mark the year of Jubilee where everything that was taken from us will be returned (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lived in the good land before going down to Egypt and becoming enslaved). It will also come like a thief in the night. When the saints are raptured Satan’s kingdom will be robbed.
