Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

Ezekiel 33:21-33 The plan of the wicked

21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten. 22 Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening, before he that was escaped came; and he had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.

23 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 24 Son of man, they that inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance. 25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes unto your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land? 26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbor’s wife: and shall ye possess the land?

This is their plan and it is also written into their predictive programming. They will come out of their caves and bunkers to inherit the land. In their mind they will own everything or else can buy it up for nothing. In their mind they will stand upon the sword of the Lord. They are an abomination. Their concept is that they are free from sin in the same way a wild animal or brute beast is free from sin. Murder and adultery are simply a means to an end. This fully exposes their lies. They justify themselves saying we don’t warn everyone because we don’t want to create a panic, we don’t want hysteria. In reality what they really want is to be fully prepared for this event so that they could profit mightily. They realize from history that events like this are what empires are built on. Knowing ahead of time is a tremendous gift, you don’t share that gift with the unwashed masses. They are an abomination to God.

27 Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As I live, surely they that are in the waste places shall fall by the sword; and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured; and they that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. 28 And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment; and the pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through. 29 Then shall they know that I am Jehovah, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.

The cities will have roving gangs with guns, like Mad Max. Go to waste places and you will be attacked by lunatics and individuals who will devour you. Stay in your little bunker and you will die from pestilence. Look at how stupid they are, they built these beautiful underground shelters and forgot one thing -- sewage. If the city is destroyed where is your running water? Maybe you have a three month supply but after that what happens? In the end they will realize they are being judged for all the abominations they committed. That those people they thought were unwashed masses and deplorables, those people had they been warned could have helped save not only themselves but you also.

30 And as for thee, son of man, the children of thy people talk of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from Jehovah. 31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but do them not; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their gain. 32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear thy words, but they do them not. 33 And when this cometh to pass (behold, it cometh), then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.

There is one other group of people. We have mentioned the 1%, we have mentioned those who agreed to not warn the people, and we mentioned those sinners who have repented and began witnessing that Jesus is Lord. Finally, there are those who are also Christians, they come and sit in the pews, they listen to sermons every week, and they do it because they think it is a lovely performance. We get to dress up, see our friends, be social, and the preacher always has something interesting to say. They never took it to heart. Well, after this event they will wake up. They will realize that was a prophet of God, that Jesus is Lord, that He is the only salvation, and you will see a great revival.

What do the Watchmen Look at?

There are three avenues (I consider predictive programming to be part of current events) that the watchmen have used to converge on this date.

The Bible is the primary avenue, some focus on the allegories, others focus on the black and white word, and still others are wonderful at expounding on Old Testament prophecies.

The second avenue is to look carefully at current events and see if any fit in. One man did a wonderful book called "Harbingers" which tied 9/11 into Biblical prophecy, others have tied the Mortgage meltdown in, and of course Israel being reformed and then taking control of Jerusalem are used by everyone. The two cows born with 7's on their foreheads is another one that I think Sid Roth did a show on. I saw a video today where the name of God is written on the East Wall of the Temple mount in vines growing there.

The one event that got everyone's attention and that you are alluding to is the Revelation 12 sign, it appeared September 23, 2017 and took place on the Feast of Trumpets. It is a big sign and people do not think it is an accident that this comet is supposed to hit the earth on September 23 4 years later.

Then there are also dreams. Dana Coverstone is one example, but Ken Peters had a dream in 1980 which he then shared in 2000 on the Prophecy Club. He begins by saying "as soon as I fell asleep the dream began, the first thing he heard was a loud horn that just blared continually, after that he saw the graves opened". Ken Peters died on Aug 14, 2021 and Kabul fell on Aug 15, 2021. I only learned recently that "Magog" referred to a bunch of nations including Afghanistan. The war that kicks off the tribulation is an alliance between Russia, Afghanistan, Turkey and a few other Islamic nations. To me the dreams color in a little background.

Finally there is something called "predictive programming". I had a problem with this until I saw God referring to it in Ezekiel 33. Predictive programming is where the elites do warn each other, but do it in a way that the deplorable unwashed masses will be kept in the dark. This is so they can profit off of our destruction.

Luke 21:29 And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees: 30 when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh. 31 Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh.

Many view the people who are getting sick after having been vaccinated as the leaves on the tree of this vaccine. In other words the vaccine does a job, those are the leaves, and you begin to see this first in Israel, the most vaccinated country on the planet.


This is another sign of "summer" the first rapture and the beginning of the tribulation.

Ezekiel 34 -- Shepherds who only take care of themselves

34 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock?

The mayor of Chicago has banned protests on her street. She said this is all about protecting her family. She was elected to be the shepherd of the entire city, a city with protests, riots and looting in the streets. A great number of people are being gunned down in the streets of Chicago each year, and all these businesses are suffering. Her job is to take care of the flock and all she is taking care of is herself.

3 You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock.

Vladimir Putin is reported to have $200 billion. Xi Jinping is reputed to be worth $1.5 billion. The NY Times ran an article calling the Chinese Parliament a “billionaires club”.

4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally.

The Black Lives Matter protests are all about how harshly and brutally the leaders have ruled. In Belarus they are protesting their “president” and in Lebanon they are protesting their rulers.

5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals.

The gang violence, the warehouse explosion in Beirut, the deaths from Chernobyl, the people are like sheep being scattered because there is no shepherd. They have become prey for all these wild animals.

6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.

It would be very easy to catch and prosecute perpetrators of gun violence. All you need to do is computerize the database on guns just like we have done with fingerprints. But they refuse to do this, saying it would undermine the right to bear arms since a nationalized database on the computer would be the first step for the government to take the guns away. So then, instead you could require every gun owner have liability insurance just like we require insurance for people who own cars. Then the computerized database could be held by a variety of insurance agencies and when a crime is committed the police would provide the information about the gun, bullet and shell casing to the insurance companies who could do the check and respond back. It would still be much more effective than what we have now.

7 “‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because my flock lacks a shepherd and so has been plundered and has become food for all the wild animals, and because my shepherds did not search for my flock but cared for themselves rather than for my flock, 9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.

This is what the defund the police movement is all about. If the police are not protecting and serving the public, then the public needs to stop paying for their services and hire some new shepherd that will. The same is true of the politicians. Corruption is so prevalent that many governments fear rooting it out as it will root the entire government out.

11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 12 As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel Will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. 16 I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice.

This age is all about seeing that Jesus is Lord. Every other government is a failure, every other leader has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. The end of this age will see an end to these corrupt governments, corrupt rulers, corrupt shepherds.

17 “‘As for you, my flock, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will judge between one sheep and another, and between rams and goats. 18 Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? 19 Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet?

This judgement will extend to all of us. These protests have included those who have rioted and looted. They destroy the shops of local businessmen. They are not simply protesting injustice, they are filled with envy and jealousy for their neighbor who is lifting themself out of the pit.

20 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says to them: See, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. 21 Because you shove with flank and shoulder, butting all the weak sheep with your horns until you have driven them away, 22 I will save my flock, and they will no longer be plundered. I will judge between one sheep and another. 23 I will place over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will tend them; he will tend them and be their shepherd. 24 I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David will be prince among them. I the Lord have spoken.

Bernie Madoff was a fat sheep who plundered the “weak sheep”. The gangs prey on the weaker sheep, extorting them. We need a shepherd with the courage of David to take on the Lion and the Bear.

25 “‘I will make a covenant of peace with them and rid the land of savage beasts so that they may live in the wilderness and sleep in the forests in safety. 26 I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing. 27 The trees will yield their fruit and the ground will yield its crops; the people will be secure in their land. They will know that I am the Lord, when I break the bars of their yoke and rescue them from the hands of those who enslaved them.

Slavery is alive and well all over the world. The prison system in the US is a form of slavery. People sell themselves as slaves because of indebtedness. The mortgage crisis was a way to put tens of millions of people into indebtedness and enslave them all over again. For all the sins of the US it is far worse in the third world.

28 They will no longer be plundered by the nations, nor will wild animals devour them. They will live in safety, and no one will make them afraid.

I saw a video about Venezuela, a place considered to be one of the most dangerous places in the world. That is a place where the gangs truly do plunder the people and devour the people. Everyone in the poor neighborhoods lives in fear.

29 I will provide for them a land renowned for its crops, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land or bear the scorn of the nations.

Venezuela is very rich with oil. It is amazing that the country could be so poorly managed that a few people are extremely rich and the rest live in abject poverty terrified by the roving gangs. It provides a vision for what Detroit can become, and what Chicago can become after that.

30 Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them and that they, the Israelites, are my people, declares the Sovereign Lord. 31 You are my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

The end of the age is not the end of the world. The end of the age is the end of the rule of evil and corrupt rulers. It ushers in a new age where Jesus is Lord.

Ezekiel 35 The Lord has heard the revilings of Hollywood

1 Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 3 and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment.

So if we are going to get into this chapter we need to know who is this Mount Seir. It is easy to know that it refers to the Edomites, that they were the descendants of Esau, the twin brother of Jacob. He is the older brother that will serve the younger. He is the profane one who sold his birthright for a pot of beans. He is the one that Jacob dressed up like and acted like he was Esau to steal the blessing. To be fair to Jacob since Esau had already sold the birthright the blessing for the firstborn should have been Jacob’s. They celebrated all kinds of evil that befell Israel. According to Romans 9 Abraham’s seed is through Jacob and not Esau, Paul compares these two to the flesh and spirit warring with each other. But, they are both the seed of Abraham. Our heritage according to the Spirit is the word of God, so then, what would be the fleshly version of the word of God? This is Hollywood. If you look at all the great movies and their themes they are all Biblical. Recently Hollywood has been completely focused on apocalyptic themes. But previously major themes for Hollywood movies have been of resurrection, or David versus Goliath, or transformation, or forgiveness, or mercy, or even salvation. Christians are supposed to be the people of the book but more and more they have been corrupted and become the people of the movies.

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah. 5 Because thou hast had a perpetual enmity, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end; 6 therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.

This is what predictive programming is. People in Hollywood are aware of this coming calamity and they think it is funny to encode this in their movies. They are spectators, cheering the coming destruction, or as the Lord says “they love blood”. They want everyone to know that they knew and if you say why didn’t you tell us they’ll say we did but you were too stupid to see it. There is a perpetual enmity between Hollywood and born again Christians. Even the term “born again” reminds you of Jacob getting the birthright from Esau.

7 Thus will I make mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him that passeth through and him that returneth. 8 And I will fill its mountains with its slain: in thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy watercourses shall they fall that are slain with the sword. 9 I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

Oops, think how far Hollywood has fallen in just two years. Because of the pandemic movie theaters have gone bankrupt and are being shut down. Many are located in Malls which are also going bankrupt and being shut down. Because of this the “big releases” of new movies have gone out with a whimper. But imagine what happens when the whole world sees that they knew about the coming destruction and didn’t tell anyone. They will be vilified and reviled.

10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas Jehovah was there: 11 therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast showed out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee.

Hollywood is composed of story tellers. They have even dabbled in Bible stories like Jesus Christ Superstar (a broadway musical but still part of the performing arts) and the Ten Commandments. These are the two nations of the Jews and the Christians. They have truly shown their hatred of these ones. For example they ridiculed and mocked Mister Rogers Neighborhood. A Christian ministry to children. They set up their own vile shows like Captain Kangaroo and a bunch of garbage cartoons for Saturday morning. The Lord is going to do unto them according to their anger.

12 And thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, have heard all thy revilings which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour. 13 And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it. 14 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. 15 As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

When this judgement comes Hollywood will realize and come to know that the Lord heard all of their blasphemy. All the vile things they said, all of their revilings of Christians. He has seen how they magnified themselves against the Lord Jesus. During the millenial reign the whole earth will rejoice and they will be made desolate.

No more confusion -- This is the Mark of the Beast -- We can see it coming

2Chronicles 24: 23 And it came to pass at the end of the year,

The word for "end of the year" in Hebrew means circuit. Today the word is understood as the Equinox. A circuit refers to something going around a track and returning to the same position. This is exactly what happens with the equinox. There is some dispute as to whether or not this referred to the equinox at the time of Moses but I find the explanation of why it wouldn't very flimsy. This is a culture that used the moon to determine the start of each month. Keeping track of the start of each year or the end of each year was critical. We know that the start of each year for the Jews was the month of Nisan which always occurs immediately after the equinox. The point of contention is whether or not the first day of Nisan is after the equinox. If this verse does in fact say that the end of the year is the vernal equinox then it tells us exactly which new moon is the start of the year, every year. If it doesn't say that then what does it say? The sun has returned to the same place as the end of the last year, but where is that place?

Josephus gives a different way in which you can calculate the first day of the year, but his way also agrees that the first day of the new year is always the first new moon after the equinox.

Finally there is this term that it is the month Abib, or it has to be in Abib. Abib is a star in the constellation Virgo and if you are after the equinox you will see as the sun rises in the morning the star Abib goes below the horizon. If you pick a month earlier the star Abib will be below the horizon before the sun rises, if you pick a month later the star Abib does not go below the horizon for some time after the sun rise.

If you do this, always start with the first new moon after the equinox then the Feast of Trumpets will also be the first new moon after the Fall equinox. The feast of trumpets is the date that used to be the first day of the year in Noah's day. For the world the year begins after the Fall equinox, but for the Jews once they left slavery their year started after the Spring equinox.

Once you understand this then you will immediately know that Rosh Hashanah cannot take place prior to September 21/22. The Hebrew calendar is prophetic, translating days on our calendar to days on the Hebrew calendar will reveal patterns and prophetic meaning. So this makes a very big difference. This year the Torah calendar is wrong, they were wrong with Passover and they are now wrong with Feast of Trumpets as well.

Conclusions p.1

Luke 12: 39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through. 40 Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Mark 13:28 But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when its branch already becomes tender and puts forth the leaves, ye know that the summer is near. 29 Thus also *ye*, when ye see these things happening, know that it is near, at the doors. 30 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall in no wise pass away, till all these things take place. 31 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away. 32 But of that day or of that hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.

Matthew 24:32 Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh; 33 even so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that [n]he is nigh, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, [o]neither the Son, but the Father only.

1. I think we can make sense out of this timeline for the tribulation and the pre-tribulation rapture. First think I would point out is that the verse which says "no one knows the day or the hour" is not in Luke, it is only in Mark and Matthew. I subscribe to the theory that Luke is written specifically to those who are in the pre-tribulation rapture. Mark is for those who are raptured out of the tribulation and Matthew is for the rapture of the nation of Israel.

2. I also believe that this expression "no one knows the day or the hour" refers to the Feast of Trumpets. However, it does not refer to the rapture. For the gospel of Mark and Matthew it refers to the start of the tribulation.

So based on this I believe the Tribulation, the seven years, starts on the Feast of Trumpets. The Pre-Tribulation rapture takes place prior to this "at an hour that you think not". This is not the feast of trumpets. Instead, at night a thief is coming and you should be watching. Not everyone is a night watchman but for those that are they should be on duty and should see that this thief is coming.

But, the Feast of Trumpets announces the coming of the king. Surely that would be an alert for all of God's people regardless of when they are raptured. Sure enough, there are ten days after the Feast of Trumpets before you have Atonement. I believe this refers to the last ten years, the great tribulation is simply the last seven. The Feast of Trumpets that begins this ten year period took place on September 23, 2017 at the time of the Revelation 12 sign. This kicked off this final 10 years. There is overwhelming evidence to support this assertion. Therefore I would suggest that the tribulation begins October 8, 2021, which is the Feast of Trumpets (I believe that the Torah calendar is off a month and that the Feast of Trumpets has to be after the Autumnal Equinox). I also believe that prior to this event you will have the war that Ezekiel prophesied about in Ezekiel 38. Basically Russia, Iran, Afghanistan and Turkey will make an alliance, a few other islamic nations will join and they will attack Israel. They will have 60 million men and God will fight and destroy this army. That is about 5 weeks away. Prior to that event we will have the rapture. I estimate tens of millions of Christians will be raptured from around the world, but I think it will be less than 100 million. Also the graves will be opened as well and saints from the entire church age will be raptured. At this point I think the main reason we are witnessing is so that after the rapture all those who know us will know what has happened.

So then, when is the rapture? It is at an hour that the majority of Christians "think not". However there are some signs. Jeremiah (I believe this prophet directs his prophecy to those who are left behind after the rapture) says "the summer is past and we are not saved". I think this sentiment is expressed by those who are left behind. The summer is past the day after the Equinox. The equinox is September 22, 2021. That would suggest that this sentiment is September 23rd, however, summer is not past for the entire earth unless it is September 23rd over the whole globe and it is therefore likely that in some places it will already be September 24th.

There is another clue,

Luke 21:28 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.

This clue is in Luke which is written to those who are raptured before the tribulation. If we look up we will see that something very strange is happening in the heavens. There is a planet that has a very odd orbit and is going to cross our orbit. There is a long string of debris (asteroids) following this planet and the Earth will pass through this "tail". This is the tail of the Dragon that is cast to the Earth that Revelation 12 refers to. This event is going to take place September 23 and 24 (depending on your time zone, for the East coast it is a little after 1 am on September 24th). The Earth will be bombarded with a meteor shower which will be horrific, particularly for the US. The US is the Great Babylon and this is the judgement that is prophesied that it will come in one hour, that she will be burned with fire, stripped naked and devoured by the beast (UN). All the merchants of the world will mourn saying "who will buy our stuff". The US is the biggest consumer in the world. With the US as a superpower gone both Israel and Taiwan will feel they are now naked to attack. At this time the 3 Gorges dam will collapse flooding the Yangtze river basin, an area where 500 million people live and the industrial heartland of China. With this destroyed China will give their backing to the UN but will be unable to project their power on the global stage. At this time Russia and North Korea will destroy the US nuclear missile silos with ballistic missiles. After the USSR collapsed our biggest fear was that the nukes would fall into the hands of the terrorists, well Russia and the UN will have the same fear of the US once our economy collapses. This will leave Russia allied with the Islamic nations as the "superpower" and to solidify that status they will attack Israel as prophesied in Ezekiel 38. God will destroy their army. That will leave Europe as the one and only superpower with the Antichrist as the recognized leader. The antichrist will now be free to make a peace treaty with Israel based on their victory over Russia and the Islamic alliance and that will be the beginning of the great tribulation.

tell u a secret we r not 2 keep time except for relationships = days months years [lev & gal 4:10]....LoL it was the 9th hour

ABBA is Back! After 40 years in the desert, after 40 Jubilees (2,000 years)!

1Jn 2:1-13 -- They are trying to lead you astray

1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

I think that there are many Christians who have been duped. But even if that is true, when we realize we have been duped we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus made His sacrifice for our sins, simply confess and repent. I am constantly reminded of a time when I was fully duped. We were at Boy Scout camp during the summer. Someone went into the tent of the Scoutmaster and dumped his bed off the side of a small bluff. The scoutmaster was sure it was a member of my patrol so I was involved as an advocate for him. He fully convinced me he was innocent and so I was very strong to defend him. Finally, the scoutmaster promised amnesty, no penalty, just wanted to know the truth. Instantly this kid confessed it was him, I had been duped, and I felt like an idiot.

3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

So then how do we discern a liar? In the case of a Christian you can claim to know Jesus, but it isn’t based on what you say, but what you do. We have seen all kinds of people claim to be “prophets of God” and “great evangelists”, etc. But when we see they don’t keep the commandments of the Lord we know they are a liar. The same is true of any liar, the thing to focus on is what they do, not what they claim. How many times have politicians promised to do something in a campaign but then did nothing when they were elected. The Lord said you would know them by their fruits, by what they do, what they produce. Not by what they promise to produce.

7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining. 9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. 10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. 11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.

That is the key point. If you are filled with hate you are in darkness. On Nov 5th, we were still sorting out the Presidential election held on Nov. 3, I got this text from a person who will remain anonymous “(Don’t let the door hit your fat a** on the way out, you repulsive orange turd of a human slab of garbage.) Oh and take your ugly family of F**tards with u, vile filth” [I have modified some of the language with the * so that this post is not flagged]. We may not know who, or what or how we got deceived, but if you are filled with hate like this, know that you are in darkness.

12 I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.

I have seen that it is particularly young people who spend a lot of time on Twitter, Tik Tok, and Facebook who are the most extreme in their expression of hate. So know this, your sins have been forgiven, plead the Lord’s blood, confess and repent and you will receive this forgiveness.

13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning.

I have noticed that the older people, even those with very strong political beliefs one way or the other are much more cautious about this kind of hate speech. Perhaps it is our experience of being duped in the past that has made us more prudent. Again, referring to this example of the election I know that neither of these candidates is without sin and I also know that tomorrow I could learn something totally horrifying about either one. I have come to learn there is only one Savior, Jesus Christ, and His ways are not my ways. When you purify gold or silver you melt it with extreme heat, and then the impurities which are light and less dense float to the top, to twitter, where they can be skimmed off. The end of the age is an extreme case of this process where God has to sort out the faithful believers from the seeds that the evil one planted.

I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one.

At this time there is clearly a warfare going on. We all hopefully want the results to be valid. We don’t want China or Russia to come in and steal the election so that some person who has been compromised by them is running our country. A person like that might hand Afghanistan over to our enemies, might even equip them with our weapons and hand out kill lists of Americans. A person compromised by a foreign country might renegotiate treaties with Iran so that they could build nuclear weapons, or they might cripple the US oil industry so that Russia could sell more oil. We want the truth, we want to walk in the light, we want to have love for our fellow brothers and sisters. Light overcomes darkness, love overcomes hate, truth overcomes lies. Overcome depression with the word of hope. This is the time for young men of faith to stand strong.

Sorry if I missed this before. These two cows are prophetic of 7 years of plenty and 7 years of famine. The cow that depicts 7 years of famine which come after the seven years of plenty was born on September 25, 2014. That was the feast of Trumpets.

So then -- to the world our famine begins September 25th but to Israel the Tribulation begins October 8 (Feast of Trumpets).

1Jn 2:14-29 All of you know the truth

14 I write to you, dear children, because you know the Father.

I understand the hateful reaction the young children are showing in the streets and on social media. They know a God of love and what is being portrayed is not Him. I would encourage you to stand for righteousness and justice by imitating the God of love and light that you know.

I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning.

For those of us who are older we need to draw on our experiences. Not just to keep ourselves from being deceived, but also to help those who are being deceived. I have had experiences with false prophets and the foundation that they stand on is a “fabricated story” that is designed to “make merchandise of you”. This is the “origin story”, the “I pulled myself up from my bootstraps” story. Examine that, find out if it is fabricated and focus on how that is designed to make merchandise of people. Several of the BLM founders are buying million dollar homes with the money given to the foundation, it is clearly set up to make merchandise of people.

I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

That said, I think there are some very wonderful people online who are strong. Bannon is a good example of one. I am very encouraged when I see these ones standing strong and overcoming the evil one. I know many are very disturbed by the events happening right now wishing we could go back to a time when everything was peaceful. I view this as the end of the championship game between light and dark, you have those who are strong and the word of God lives in them standing strong, and you have the false prophets fighting for all they are worth knowing that it is do or die for them. This is much more exciting and worthwhile than the NBA or NFL.

15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God Lives forever.

Everything in the world passes away. From the view point of eternity 100 years is a blink of the eye. It is a wisp of smoke, it is a vanity. No one will remember or care who won what Superbowl, but the battle we are now in, that does matter. They will care about this for eternity.

18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come.This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.

There are many antichrists, not just one, not just “the antichrist”. Notice how in every case “they went out from us”. The antichrist is not an outsider, they are someone who was in the group but then stepped outside the boundaries of that group. So for example, a cult leader will deny Jesus who redeemed us. This can be done very subtly. I am a Christian because I know Jesus, but they will add another requirement. That added requirement denies the Lord who redeemed me and in so doing denies Jesus. In the example above of politicians, they will step outside the bounds of the constitution and deny that. For example in this recent election much was made of Trump nominating Amy Coney Barrett, and then the Senate confirming her. However, none of those actions were outside of the constitution, nor when you carefully scrutinize the evidence were they outside the boundaries of precedent. On the flip side they said that they would get power in this election and “pack the court”. That means instead of 9 Supreme court justices they would nominate 11 or 13. That is clearly a violation of precedent and although it doesn’t violate the letter of the constitution it certainly violates the spirit of it. The Spirit of the constitution is that the Supreme court would not be dragged down by political allegiance, but the idea of packing the court would do that and would also make the court a farce as each new administration would follow suit until you had twenty or thirty justices.

20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.

We need to be careful, many think that crafting a lie is a quick and easy way to get what they want, the old “the end justifies the means”. They are convinced that their way is right, so the fact that they lie about it is no big deal because they are doing it for the greater good. We saw this with Kamala Harris during her debate. She pointed out that a very similar event to RBG’s death occurred right before Lincoln’s reelection. However, Lincoln, the founder of the Republican Party, did not nominate someone in that last month. She interpreted this as a precedent that you should not nominate someone before an election. The problem is that in the 1800s there were no cars or airplanes or telephones. The Senate had already adjourned and gone back to their home states. It would not have been possible to confirm anyone in the time left. So instead Lincoln said “this is the person I will nominate if I am reelected” and that motivated many senators to campaign all the harder for his reelection. So remember, no lie comes from the truth. It will blow up in your face.

22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

Neither Biden or Trump will save us. Neither one is the savior, neither one is holy and true, neither one is the incarnated word of God. The spirit of Antichrist is rebellion against Jesus being Lord. To deny the authority of Jesus or the authority of the Bible is the spirit of antichrist.

24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life.

The battle is to knock us out of the Son. Do not let anything knock you out of being “in Christ”. Make sure that the word you have heard from the beginning remains in you and that you remain in Christ. Our goal is eternal life, not something ephemeral of the world.

26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. 27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.

You need to realize that they are trying to lead you astray. No one in this country should be naive anymore, we have heard for four years that Russia and China have been using social media to lead us astray. We watched as the CEOs of the cigarette companies tried to lead this country astray. We saw that the NFL tried to lead this country astray concerning CTE. We saw Tik Tok used as a tool of China to disrupt this election. We have seen Twitter and Facebook censor news to affect the election. We have seen that the polls were not used to reflect voter sentiment but rather to affect it. They are trying to lead you astray, but you have an anointing. Can you hear the Lord’s speaking, that is the real question.

28 And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.

At the Lord’s coming we want to see all the Lord’s people standing strong. They are standing in truth, in light, and in love. The Lord said that He would come at an hour that you did not expect if you were not watching. In that case you would be ashamed at His coming.

29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.

Do the right thing. Speak truth in love.

Ezekiel 36:1-15 Prophecy for the Faithful

1 And thou, son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah.

The mountains of Israel, these are like those in Philadelphia who become the pillars in the house of God.

2 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha! and, The ancient high places are become ours in possession;

The enemy represents Satan and he is the accuser of the brethren.

3 therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because, yea, because they have made desolate, and have swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the remnant of the nations, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and in the defaming of the people:

Philadelphia represents those with little strength, not a lot of strength, who have not denied the Lord’s name and have kept His word. They are not talkers, they are not boasters, they are not slanderers. Rather they have been under the attack of Satan for years.

4 therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the water-courses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and a derision to the remnant of the nations that are round about,

The Lord tells Philadelphia that “you will have to go no more out”. They have been excommunicated, they have been pilgrims, strangers in a strange land. They were deported, they lost all that they had, they were made desolate, forsaken and became a prey and a derision.

5 —therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the remnant of the nations, and against the whole of Edom, which have appointed my land unto themselves for a possession with the joy of all [their] heart, with despite of soul, to plunder it by pillage.

We belong to the Lord. We are His possession, His land. Satan and his host have illegally confiscated the Lord’s land. “They appointed it to themselves” despite it belonging to Jesus, reminds me of our present administration doing as they please with no regard to the law. They are the “lawless ones”.

6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the water-courses and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the ignominy of the nations;

7 therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I have lifted up my hand, [saying,] Verily the nations that are about you, they shall bear their shame.

The saints are those who have taken up their cross and gone outside the camp, bearing the Lord’s shame. If that is your testimony then that is wonderful, and if it is not your testimony don’t worry, you will get another chance during the Great Tribulation to bear the Lord’s shame. However, know this, the Great Tribulation is righteous judgement, as they have done to the Lord’s people it will be done to them.

8 And ye mountains of Israel shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel: for they are at hand to come.

We are going to see a wonderful revival. Right now we are seeing saints around the world speaking, sharing, testifying and witnessing for the Lord. At the moment the majority of those in Christianity are not receiving that testimony, often because someone they trust like a Priest, tells them not to. Once the rapture takes place they will realize who was speaking the truth and who wasn’t and then they will take that fruit.

9 For behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown.

All believers should have been doing this already. Dealing with the stony heart, the thorns, and the birds. But if not the Tribulation will be a second chance to become tilled and sown.

10 And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, the whole of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded.

We are going to see a great revival in this country.

11 And I will multiply upon you man and beast, and they shall increase and bring forth fruit; and I will cause you to be inhabited as your former times, yea, I will make it better than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

12 And I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of children.

To walk upon the land is to walk upon the incarnated word of God. This is the word of God that we can handle, we can taste, we can experience.

13 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because they say unto you, Thou devourest men, and hast bereaved thy nation,

14 therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nation any more, saith the Lord Jehovah;

15 neither will I cause thee to hear the ignominy of the nations any more, and thou shalt not bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nation to fall any more, saith the Lord Jehovah.

This is referring to the word of God. Many complain about the laws and the judgements in the Bible. Basic principle, if you want to enjoy the outstanding resurrection of Jesus Christ you have to first enjoy the fellowship of His sufferings. If no death, no life. Unless a grain of wheat die and be buried it abides alone, but if it dies then it will bring forth much fruit.

Ezekiel 36:32-38 Lord Jesus, Glorify your Name.

32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord Jehovah, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.

What a wonderful, encouraging word. Suppose in 1948 Israel had been this wonderful, lush, garden of Eden. There would be no glory in the transformation. Instead, those people who had ruled over it prior to Israel returning turned it into a wasteland. Now when you see how beautiful it is 70 years later it is hard to believe anyone would want to return it to those evil men who had ruled it prior to 1948. Well it will be the same with the Earth. The Earth will be turned to a wasteland before the millennial reign. During the millennial reign it will be transformed to a glorious paradise of God’s creation. This is just one more way that we shame the enemy. So the Lord is not doing this because of what you are now, but rather because once you have been transformed by His spirit He will be glorified.

33 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded.

34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by.

35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities [are] fortified [and] inhabited.

36 And the nations that shall be left round about you shall know that I Jehovah build the ruined places [and] plant that which was desolate: I Jehovah have spoken, and I will do [it].

Amen Lord.

37 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it unto them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her set feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.

How about that! He will yet be inquired of to increase the flock during the tribulation. We are going to see a great revival in the land. That is why Satan will have no choice but to chop heads off.
