Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

I will turn your religious festivals into mourning

Amos 8:10 I will turn your religious festivals into mourning and all your singing into weeping. I will make all of you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make that time like mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day.

We don't have songs associated with Thanksgiving, but turning "Thanksgiving" into mourning seems like the sense for this verse. We do have lots of Christmas songs and the practice is to have Christmas carols, so the sense I get here is they will be turned to weeping.

The verse talks about "festivals" plural. There is a similar event at the start of the Great Tribulation where Zechariah says they will see Him whom they pierced.

So this is interpretive, but when I read Amos all all the sins he lists off it seems it is particularly pointed at the US ("a Christian nation"). The tribulation which begins with the pretribulation rapture in which babies and toddlers are also taken along with all the "Jesus Freaks" that the "more sensible" Christians had mocked, ridiculed and ignored. So for those who are left behind God will "turn their religious festivals into mourning". But this is plural, at the time of Easter we don't have several religious festivals. I suspect this verse gets fulfilled prior to Thanksgiving. Generally after Thanksgiving is when they flood the radio with the "Christmas songs". They will be like salt in the wounds of anyone left behind.

Pre Tribulation rapture in 2Corinthians

2 Corinthians 4:14-5:11
[14] Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

This is a reference to the pre-tribulation where the dead in Christ rise first. Paul said we were his "crown". Think about that, those who are raptured will be the crown to the apostles.

[15] For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

This is the Thanksgiving celebration to end the age. How fitting to take place at the same time as we celebrate Thanksgiving. Amos 8:10 says God will turn this celebration into mourning for those left behind.

[16] For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

It seems there are so many testifying of how they are close to fainting. Focus on being renewed day by day by the word of God, by prayer, by fellowship, by worship.

[17] For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

Let's be realistic, many think the tribulation may have already begun, but if that is true it is "light affliction" compared to what we see in the book of Revelation.

[18] While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

This is the issue right now, it is easy to be distracted by all the things you can see, but we need to see Jesus. Everything that is happening around us are due to His sovereignty. Did Biden steal the election? Yes, but that has helped to wake up the believers. Is the Pandemic a pack of lies? Yes, but that is helping to wake up the believers.

[1] For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

This is a reference to the rapture.

[2] For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

"Our house" is "our tabernacle". The Lord went to prepare a place for us, that is "our tabernacle".

[3] If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

The believers who are left behind will be those who are "found naked". Our clothes are the righteous acts of the saints. We are to be clothed with Christ just as Paul said to "put on Christ".

[4] For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

Another reference to the rapture being a resurrection.

[5] Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

The earnest of the Spirit was given to us on Pentecost, that was our betrothal, our engagement ceremony. This is a reference to the Rapture being the bridegroom coming for His bride.

[6] Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
[7] (For we walk by faith, not by sight
[8] We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Another reference to the rapture. Who are those who are raptured? The bride, the ones who are clothed with Christ, those who have taken up their cross and followed Christ to the cross, and those who walk by faith and not by sight.

[9] Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

That is what we need to do now! We are laboring so that we would be accepted of the Lord.

[10] For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

The first rapture is a judgement similar to winning a medal at the olympics. It is called the Bema judgement. A judgement can be positive, like winning a gold medal or getting 100% on an exam, and it can be negative like getting an F on an exam.

[11] Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

Nahum
1 A prophecy concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

The Lord’s Anger Against the abusive Nineveh

2 The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance on his foes
and vents his wrath against his enemies.

Nineveh was warned by Jonah with 40 days of public protest in the streets concerning their heinous treatment towards those people who were considered deplorable. We saw this in the US with the Black Lives Matter protests. Everyone immediately responded as though they had repented just as those in Nineveh did back at the time of Jonah. However, it was bogus then and it is bogus now. We know this by the abhorrent way the political prisoners from Jan 6th are being treated. 11 months of "pre trial detention" for trespassing. During which time they have suffered detestable treatment.

3 The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.
His way is in the whirlwind and the storm,
and clouds are the dust of his feet.

The Lord gave Nineveh a chance to repent, they pretended to, but it was all pretense. God will not leave them unpunished.

4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up;
he makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel wither
and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.

5 The mountains quake before him
and the hills melt away.
The earth trembles at his presence,
the world and all who live in it.

6 Who can withstand his indignation?
Who can endure his fierce anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire;
the rocks are shattered before him.

The way in which these prisoners have been treated will provoke God's indignation. We will see His fierce anger, we will see His wrath poured out like fire, and all these ones who think they are hard as rocks will be shattered before Him.

2Timothy 3 -- Unveiling impostors (part 2)

without self-control

"I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.” Donald Trump

fierce

"You have to dominate," he said. "If you don't dominate, you're wasting your time." concerning the police response to protesters. Trump has been fierce in his response to protesters while disregarding mayors and governors who wanted to be empathetic. Again, there are two sides to the issue and many of the riots and looting that took place were equally fierce, an attempt by the other side to create chaos that would be attributed to Trump.

no lovers of good

"Before a show, I'll go backstage and everyone's getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it...You know, they're standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that." Donald Trump talking about beauty pageants that he runs.

traitors

Trump has publicly ridiculed the claim by the FBI that Russia interfered with the election, putting his support behind Putin. Again, evidence has been released that strongly supports the claim that the US government is full of traitors. The insurrection on January 6 involved 20 deep state actors who worked for the FBI. They were involved in the planning and carrying out of the riot. Police waved the protestors into the Capital. Fauci and the handling of the pandemic is traitorous. The election fraud with China being complicit makes these people traitors.

headstrong

Trump said that Coronavirus would go away. In January he said “we have it totally under control” and in February he said “we pretty much shut it down” and that the number of cases were “going down, not up”. He was asked about that in an interview March 31st with CNN and He continued to argue that this was true. But he is not the only one who is "headstrong". After all what is all the censorship based on bogus "fact checkers" but these tech giants being headstrong.

puffed up

"Our country is in serious trouble. We don't have any victories anymore. We used to have victories, but we don't have them. When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let's say China, in a trade deal? I beat China all the time. All the time." Donald Trump.

lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God

"All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me--consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected." Donald Trump. This is not the case of a single man being evil and corrupt. There are shock jocks on the radio who are equally contemptible. Why are they popular, that is the real question? Why did 70 million people vote for Trump? The answer is simple, even though we knew all of this about Trump he was still better than the alternative, this is how we know that these are grievous times.

5 holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.

There are people who are very successful at having great ratings on their TV shows or radio shows, or even in getting elected to office. They have certain skills. But there is nothing sanctified or holy about them. Turn away from them.

John 14:1-11 -- My Father's house has many rooms

1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

There is a place for each one of us in the Lord’s house. You may feel like a stranger in a strange land in the world, but in God’s kingdom there is a place. You don’t have to live a life that you think will please others. To be forgiven, to be free from sin means that we are free to make known what God has done in our lives and revealed to us. Our experiences of the Lord make a place for us in His kingdom. I love this, I have tried to put up links to sites that are very clearly occupying different rooms from me. Dr. Barry Awe is one example, the Return of the King with their focus on the heavenly signs is another. There are those who specialize in Hebrew etymology, that is a third. We need each other.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

The rapture is an essential part of the gospel. Many have distorted this message to be that we will live with the Lord in Heaven. But what is He saying? He rose from the dead, He ascended into Heaven with a purpose to prepare a place for us to also join Him. We are following in His footsteps, He had an earthly ministry we have an earthly ministry.

4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

He rose from the dead, we will be raptured. Not only the living but the dead in Christ will also rise and be raptured.

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well.From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

Jesus let His experiences of the Father shine through in His ministry. In the same way if people see your ministry then they should know Jesus and see Jesus. Follow in the Lord's footsteps, the "What Would Jesus Do" is the way, receive every word of the New Testament as the truth, and partake of the Lord's table as the real bread and wine, that is the life.

8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.

Real freedom, real liberty is when your head is covered. When I speak the Lord’s words I am free. If you don’t like it, if it offends you, it isn’t me that is offending you, it is the Lord. Your issue is not with me, it is with God. In one very short life Jesus changed the age, He changed the world. Yet the words He spoke, He didn’t speak on His own authority. He came from God the Father with a message from God the Father and spoke the words of the Father with the authority of the Father.

Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.

God promises us that His word will not return void. Aspire to speak God’s words and those words will be powerful and effective.

11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.

The strongest, most compelling evidence was the resurrection of the dead. That is why I say the rapture is an essential element of the gospel. Jesus told them beforehand that He would be raised from the dead and they didn’t know what He was talking about. In the same way we tell people about the rapture and they don’t know what we are talking about. But, when it happens then they will know and they can repent and believe.

 

[ZNP]

John 14:12-31 Come now let us leave.

12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

What should we ask? Not my will but thine be done. We should pray that God’s name would be sanctified, and that the Kingdom would come. Ken Peters dream of the tribulation saw a revival in which this word was fulfilled where all the works we saw in the gospel from the Lord were going on all over the world in small christian gatherings.

15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him.

I really love this concept "if you love me you will keep my commands". There will be a distinction at the rapture, those that keep His commands (the ones who really love Him) and those who don't. Never has this been more obvious. There isn’t even an attempt to embrace the truth. I don’t want to get political because the only savior I see is Jesus. If you think a man is going to save you whether he is Republican or Democratic you are deceived. But the media doesn’t even pretend to be fair and balanced anymore. Turn on CNN and you will hear how terrible the last thing that Trump did is, and he hasn't been president for ten months! Turn on Fox and you will hear how terrible the last thing Biden did. There is so much going on these days in the world and yet the “news” from the “major media outlets” are only focused on one message, either “Trump is bad” or “Trump is good”. We had an immigrant woman from Jamaica who grew up in poverty elected as lieutenant governor of Virginia and MSNBC was portraying her as "the latest variant of Trumpism". The world has no clue what truth is.

But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

There is a lot of focus right now on “the end times” and “prophecy” and the rapture and dreams and visions. But everything boils down to one thing, on that day are we in Christ, in God, and Christ is in us as the hope of glory? Are you coming to the Lord every day hoping to get a fresh new word? Or, have you heard it all before, yada, yada, yada?

21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

This chapter began with “do not let your hearts be troubled”. Calm down, pick up the word of God, take one of His words, let it dwell in you so that you become its keeper. You don’t need to try and keep the entire Bible, start with that one little word that the Lord has already spoken to your heart. George Mueller got one little word about seeking the kingdom first and all the other things would be added to him. Based on that one little word he started an orphanage and trusted the Lord to always supply and the Lord always did. His entire ministry was based on that word.

22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

Why is it that the Lord reveals Himself to some and not to others? It depends on their heart. You can know their heart because if they obey the Lord’s teachings it reveals they love Him, if they do not obey His words it reveals they don’t. These words aren’t His, they are the Father’s. So if you keep these words you love the Lord and the Father. If you love someone you spend time with them, you talk to them, you fellowship with them.

25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

Isn’t that funny? He is sending us a lawyer to teach us everything He said. Not a prosecutor, but an advocate, someone who will help guide us while we endure the accusations of Satan. This is the best way to learn about the power of the cross, the Lord’s redemption, and how He has freed us from the power of sin. Every time I felt like I was on trial, those were the times I really got into the word and prayed for the saving power of faith.

27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. 28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.

Once again this is why it is important for us to share our testimony before it happens, share our faith, let the world know about the resurrected savior and our hope of glory. You need to speak it before it happens so that when it does happen they will believe. The great delusion is designed to give an alternate explanation to the rapture. UFOs and a close encounter of the third kind.

30 I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming.

Have we seen that the prince of this world is coming? People talk about 2020 being the “year like no other”. Yes there have been a lot of natural disasters, fires, protests, and pandemic. But what really makes 2021 stand out to me is the total inability of the world to know the truth or speak the truth. Why? Because they refuse to obey the Lord’s commands and to speak the truth requires that they confess they were wrong and repent, and turn again to God. Why can’t they do that? Because they don’t love Him.

He has no hold over me, 31 but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.

The world is going to learn a lesson. We needed an advocate to teach us about Satan, the accuser of the brethren, and to guide us into all the truth. The world needs a great tribulation to learn that the Lord Jesus loved the Father and that they need to do exactly what He commanded us to do. This year has been very polarizing with a lot of hateful rhetoric flying back and forth. At the rapture you will realize that those ones you were attacking loved the Lord and they were the ones you should have been listening to.

“Come now; let us leave.

On the 9th of AV Noah released the raven, and on the 16th of August (9th of AV) the Taliban took over Afghanistan. Ravens eat carrion just like the Taliban taking over all the equipment and army bases of the US abandoned.

However, it explains this verse that the Lord's coming is as a thief in the night. The people of Afghanistan woke up the next morning and everyone was in the street and they were asking what happened and the people said "the Taliban took over". In a single night their whole world changed.

John 15:1-14 -- Jesus Christ, the biggest revolutionary of this age

1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.

This is what each of us needs to find, “the true vine”. For example, on Youtube I look for true channels that tell me the truth. Recently my brother told me I should subscribe to the NY Times because they were the standard bearers for journalism. But when I investigated a little I was very uneasy with the large number of cases of plagiarism, and being used as a propaganda mouthpiece. The final straw was their use of Miles Taylor as an anonymous source while portraying him as a high level administrative official. When I read their stories I thought for sure he must be Pence, or Pompeo, or the Chief of Staff. No, it was “Miles Taylor” someone no one had ever heard of and that was because he was a nobody. Jesus was the true vine, not all the "main stream" media of the time, not the Scribes, not the religious officials, not the Roman officials, Jesus.

2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

Once I realized that the NY Times willfully distribute false and misleading information to pursue their own agenda, I cut them off. I like how Youtube is set up this way. You can subscribe to those channels that you see as bearing fruit, you can unsubscribe to those that bear no fruit, and you can get alerts every time one of these channels does put out a story.

3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

Yes, these words clean us of our ignorance, biases, opinions that are not well founded in facts, etc. It is essential for a democracy to operate, for us to exercise dominion, that we have a word that cleans us. The flip side is that the propaganda from the NY Times makes you unclean.

4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

This word “remain in Me” is huge. All the phony baloney media are trying to do is to get you to step outside of Jesus Christ. When you are screaming curse words and hate you have stepped outside of Jesus Christ. There is a spiritual battle going on, the front lines of this battle is on the internet. If the internet is disseminating the truth, if the true vine is growing on this platform, then Satan’s kingdom will fall. I have discovered that many of the channels I subscribe to are “shadow banned”. What does that mean? Well, let’s say you are interested in stories about a particular topic. There is an algorithm in Youtube that is supposed to recognize that and then recommend other channels that you might like based on your viewing history. To be “shadow banned” means their algorithm will not recommend that channel regardless of how likely it is that you would like it. If this doesn’t work to shut those channels down then they will censor their posts or their channel. If you are subscribed to a channel you will still see them when they are “shadow banned”. Most of these channels will have their own website so even if they do get censored as the NY Post did, you can still go to their website. But this is the battle today because without a free press with the truth on some channels we cannot possibly have a democracy.

6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

Those that don’t remain in the Lord are like those who are rioting and looting. They are going to be picked up, convicted and thrown in prison. You did not remain in Christ. Jesus Christ is the biggest revolutionary of this age. If you want to make a stand for justice, you need to follow Jesus.

7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

Prayer is crucial. I recently saw a news article from a publisher that I did not trust. They said that armed Trump supporters had surrounded one of these vote counting locations in Arizona. So I searched and found a video of the event and saw hundreds, maybe thousands of Trump supporters kneeling in prayer outside of the station, praying that every legal vote be counted. Shortly after that prayer it came out that there is a glitch in the software that Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania uses that “accidentally” switched 6,000 ballots for Trump to Biden. That is a strange glitch, and it is great that they have discovered it, even though it was after they “called Michigan for Biden”. If you want the election to reflect the will of the people, then ask and it will be done for you. Even months after the inauguration we have many trials over the election going to court. It's not over until the Lord says it is over.

8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

There were a lot of comments on that video commending those people for praying peacefully and glorifying God.

9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

If you remain in Christ you have no choice but to remain in His love. You want the election to reflect the will of the people regardless of who they voted for. There is no hate speech against Democrats, or Republicans, or anyone for their political beliefs. Jesus died for all of us to be saved, not just one small clique.

10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

How do we remain in Christ? We keep the Lord’s commandments, those keep us in His love, and that in turn keeps us in Him. Speak the truth in love. The word of God is truth. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

Our joy will be complete when we are all one, when we have a glorious testimony of Christ in us, and when we bring in the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command.

Once again, in the middle of the battle it is very hard to do that. According to many media outlets anyone who votes for Trump must be a racist. There are those who are totally deranged because 50% of the country apparently voted for him. This has continued for another year so that an immigrant from Jamaica, a black woman, is elected lieutenant Governor of Virginia and they want to portray her as a white supremacist that is a puppet for Trump. On the flip side the corruption that has been revealed in the Biden family is appalling. So what are we to do? Let’s remember the Lord Jesus and the love He expressed when He lay down His life for us. It was a monkey trial, He was scourged and then crucified. In the end He said “forgive them for they know not what they do”. We do know we are being lied to, we do know that the corruption in the government is deep, but even so it is a very dark path we are on and it seems at the very least 50% of us are deceived. So those of you who are sure you know the truth forgive the other ones for “they know not what they do”.

Transhumanism -- Unless those days were shortened no flesh would survive

"In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God's chosen ones." Matthew 24:22 (NLT)

This translation interprets flesh as people. However, the field of transhumanism opens up a very different way to understand this verse. They have the technology to mingle your flesh with graphene oxide which can mingle itself with your DNA creating a unique bar code for you each person that can be read from satellites using 5g radiation.

Artificial intelligence is already being mingled with various professionals in different industries. Robots, drones, AI, implants and a whole host of other inventions they are coming up with to mingle humans with technology.

Transhumanism -- Unless those days were shortened no flesh would survive

We now have genetically engineered seeds, genetically engineered insects, genetically engineered viruses, genetically engineered pigs and cows. We grow organs in the lab. Now they are coming for genetically engineering humans.

Interesting accounts concerning the rapture, pre tribulation and 27th of Chesvan

 

[ZNP]

Wake up! Does it get any clearer than this? Ignoring the national day of prayer was not an oversight, it was intentional.

4th of December Solar eclipse = 27th of Chesvan (a new beginning)

A solar eclipse in the Bible signifies judgement on the world. Moving from East to West (very weird) could indicate that it will begin in China. This was the day that Noah came off the ark. Some suggest this could be the beginning of the Tribulation.

He says this is Hanukkah because of the Torah calendar, however, the Biblical calendar would have this one month before Hanukkah.

John 15:15-27 You also must testify

15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

There is an interesting prophecy in Hosea 13. Although this is my interpretation it seemed to me he was saying that Biden’s apparent victory in this election would be like the dew on the grass which disappears when the hot sun rises. It would be like smoke disappearing out of a window. In ten months Biden's approval rating has dropped more than any president in history. His "political capital" is like smoke disappearing out a window. Trump is an impudent man with a brazen face. Perhaps God will use him to bring a judgement on the mighty (Hosea 13) where all the wicked have become so common.

16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.

My prayer is that the church will stand strong against the stratagems of the evil one, we will be strengthened with might into Jesus Christ who has been made head over all things.

17 This is my command: Love each other. 18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

This makes sense but it also means they are really big liars. The world refers to those who deny Jesus Christ, deny His kingdom, deny His word, and yet the reason they hate us is because the Lord has chosen us out of the world. The world is always pitching a sales pitch about how great the world is, but in reality they know it is a hellish rat race and hate us because we have been chosen out of it. Now imagine what happens after the rapture? That will certainly enrage them! According to Paul once the Holy Spirit steps aside then the man of lawlessness is truly revealed. Once again there is a spiritual battle going on between these Christians who will be raptured that are filled with the Holy Spirit and those who are filled with the spirit of the antichrist. Right now some are asking should we fight fire with fire, the left uses this cancel culture to attack conservative Christians, should be use the same tactic on them? No, the command is to love each other, to do unto others as you would have them do to you.

20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

There are those who voted for Biden hoping it would end the persecution. This is like Neville Chamberlain’s policy of appeasing Hitler. You do not appease a bully. In my experience I channel my inner “badger”. If a full grown bear comes across a badger that badger will fight for all he’s got. It seems crazy that this tiny animal thinks he has a chance, but look at it from his point of view. Maybe I will die, but I can take out the bear’s nose or his eyes. Is it worth it to a bear to lose an eye over a small snack? We don't respond tit for tat, however, if they say "get the vaccine or lose your job" you walk off the job, you sell your house and you go somewhere where they will welcome you. This is not our home, we are only passing through.

21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.

Jesus Christ is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. If you are in Christ and expressing Christ you will express this Lion, even if you are the size of a small house cat.

22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

This is why we must stand strong and speak. Jesus is speaking through you to them.

23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well.

If you are in Christ and they hate you, then they hate the Father also and you know exactly where they are coming from, the spirit of the antichrist.

24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.

According to the account in the gospels the priests knew that an angel rolled away the stone and Jesus resurrected from the dead. They knew that Jesus was the promised Messiah. Yet they paid the soldiers money to spread a lie. We are seeing the same thing today. The FBI knew that Biden was guilty of a number of sins but kept quiet. They knew they had evidence that would exonerate Trump during the impeachment but they kept quiet. We are seeing a lot of lies and at the same time those who are holding down the truth in unrighteousness. This is the evidence of their guilt and sin that will convict them at the Great White Throne judgement.

25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’

There is a purpose to what is going on. What we are seeing today with this “polarization” is to make it very clear who gets raptured to heaven and who gets tossed in the fire.

26 “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.

Right now we need to pray that the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father will come and testify.

27 And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

If you want to be in Christ, in His love, then you must keep His commandments and one of them is that you must testify.

John 16:1-22 -- Take heart, I have overcome the world

1 “All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. 2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.

We are seeing this now. The censorship on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. For example, someone posted a notice about setting up peaceful protests concerning the election called “stop the steal” and Facebook took it down claiming it would incite violence. The mainstream media is portraying the concerns of election fraud as the ravings of unstable people, or baseless claims, or paranoid poor losers. They are abusing the political prisoners arrested for trespassing on January 6th, they have been held for 10 months, often in solitary confinement. They were foolish to fall into that trap, snared like birds, but this is simply a foretaste of the abuse we are about to see.

3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. 4 I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them.

We were warned. Their claims of “diversity training” and “inclusion” does not include Christians, it does not include people who believe the Bible is the word of God and that Jesus is Lord. Satanists will soon be released, we can already see the lawless ones chomping at the bit to be set loose.

I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you, 5 but now I am going to him who sent me.

When the Lord was here on the Earth He was a bubble. We could be covered and protected by Him. But now that He is going to the Father in Heaven He is now Lord of all with all authority and all power given to Him for the church.

None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things. 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

This is how you grow, how you mature. We were like little children watching Jesus and learning from Jesus. But now, we learn by doing. The Spirit will be inside of us, guiding us, and He refers to this Spirit as “the advocate”. The Spiritual battle is a legal battle. We will be accused and tried by Satan with the Spirit as our advocate, this is the very best way to be led in the truth. I believe the same thing happens during the tribulation, it is good for those who are left behind that some are raptured. This is a spiritual warfare in the air and once the rapture takes place it will be Jesus who controls the air while Satan will be cast to the ground.

8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin,because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

The Spirit is “the Advocate”. He is our defense lawyer. Satan will attack us, accuse us, and He will defend us. They will accuse of sin, but that is because they don’t believe in the Lord. It is not sinful to refuse the vaccine. This is what they did concerning Saint Stephen, they accused him of teaching contrary to their religion because they didn’t believe that Jesus was the Messiah. The resurrection and ascension of Jesus convicted them of unrighteousness. All those who had sentenced Jesus to death stood condemned. We are seeing this play out again. All of these phony reasons for censoring Christians, these are false accusations because they don’t believe that Jesus is Lord. When the rapture takes place and we go to the Father they will be condemned concerning righteousness. They want to give $450,000 to each person who was separated from their kids when they came into our country illegally. How about the people being held for trespassing on January 6th, they are separated from their kids, are they going to pay them? Hunter Biden is getting $450,000 per painting, why not just give each of them a painting from Hunter Biden? At that time the “prince of this world” will stand condemned. All those involved in election fraud, all those involved in the corruption that Hunter Biden’s laptop reveals, or that the money laundering with Swiss banks reveals, or that the investigations into the CCP’s business dealings with US government contacts reveals, or even those involved in the Epstein crimes reveals. They will all stand condemned.

12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

There is so much to this we need to be guided little by little and step by step. Just with election fraud alone the size and scope is massive. People who did a canvass over 4 precincts in Arizona found 1 in 5 registered voters in Arizona were potentially bogus. There is evidence that the computer program designed to count the votes was written so that a certain portion of the votes for Trump would be assigned to Biden. We have seen throughout the age of grace that we have been led into all the truth, day by day. It should not be a great surprise to Christians that the Lord is now leading us into this revelation concerning the rapture.

14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

Jesus is Lord, the gospel has gone out throughout the entire world. As a result we have born again believers who are everywhere in this evil age. They work for the post office, they work in polling stations, they work counting votes, they work writing software. The problem with a massive fraud like this is that you cannot keep it secret. Thousands of people came forward with affidavits of fraud, or by volunteering to help with the audit or the canvass, others have worked with the lawyers on lawsuits, and still others work publishing the news.

16 Jesus went on to say, “In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.” 17 At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?” 18 They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”

He meant that He was going to be crucified dead and buried. Then after 3 days He would rise from the dead victorious and that Satan would be put to an open shame.

19 Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’? 20 Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.

This is what we are seeing today. People all over the world are taking a stand. They are taking a stand against some of these transgender laws, taking a stand against CRT being taught in schools, taking a stand against election fraud, etc, etc. We have stopped wallowing in the mud and instead stood up for the Lord.

21 A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.

The rapture is likened to a woman giving birth to the manchild who is then caught up to God. This last year has been painful, we have had anguish, but now we can see joy to see the believers taking a stand.

22 So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.

The age began with Jesus being the firstfruit, the firstborn, and it ends with the harvest, with us following Him.
