Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

Zechariah 12:7-10 Let's talk about Messiah, the one who came to save us but we had Him crucified.

7 And the Lord shall save and give victory to the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be magnified and exalted above Judah. 8 In that day will the Lord guard and defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and he who is [spiritually] feeble and stumbles among them in that day [of persecution] shall become [strong and noble] like David; and the house of David [shall maintain its supremacy] like God, like the Angel of the Lord Who is before them. 9 And it shall be in that day that I will make it My aim to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Look at these terms, the tents of Judah will have the same glory as the house of David, the feeble will be mighty warriors just like David, the house of David will be like God. Remember the Lord’s word to Job, “do you have an arm like God or can you thunder with a voice like God?” For two thousand years the age of grace has been to transform God’s people so that we are like God, we are like David (Jesus). We might have been feeble when we first got saved but in this day we will be mighty. Think about Mike Lindell, a meth addict who is bringing down the entire deep state of the US.

10 And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace or unmerited favor and supplication. And they shall look [earnestly] upon Me Whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him as one who is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Can you imagine? They are like Saul of Tarsus “who are you Lord”. They know the Bible but they don’t know the Lord. They know of a redeemer, but that redemption is not a reality for them, it is only when they see the reality of the redeemed and transformed that they repent. What does it mean to repent, it means to seek grace and to seek the spirit of grace. It means they will look upon the one they were stabbing, the one who was burdensome and that they loathed and realize “its the Messiah!” Again, what did Jesus tell Saul “I am Jesus whom thou persecutest”. They thought they were being zealous for the Lord and then their eyes are opened to realize they were crucifying the Lord. For example, suppose someone hated Trump, railed against Trump because they thought he was colluding with Russia, or because they thought he was using his presidency to enrich his family, or because they thought his policies were inhumane or that he was going to get us all killed in a war. Then they get what they want, Joe Biden is elected and then they discover that Biden was the one who had colluded with Russia and China, it was his family that was being enriched by the CCP and Putin, that the human rights violations at the border became ten times worse with Biden and they didn’t even care enough to go visit the border, and that the minute Biden becomes president we are terrified of war and he fully arms our enemies. We surround Washington DC with troops, Taiwan is under threat from China, Ukraine is invaded by Russia, Iran is attacking Israel, and we are having massive cyber attacks in the US. Russia is threatening nuclear war and for some reason 120+ fires or explosions have recently taken place at food processing or storage locations. It is one of those horror films that the very thing you are most terrified of is what happens because you attacked the only people trying to protect you.

Zechariah 12:11-14 Sorrow over having blindly rejected the Messiah

11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of [the city of] Hadadrimmon in the Valley of Megiddo [over beloved King Josiah]. 12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart: the [kingly] family of the house of David apart and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan [David’s son] apart and their wives apart; 13 The [priestly] family of the house of Levi apart and their wives apart; the family of Shimei [grandson of Levi] apart and their wives apart; 14 All the families that are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves [each with an overwhelming individual sorrow over having blindly rejected their unrecognized Messiah].

I get it, everyone hates using Trump as an illustration, so let’s use a different one. When the Lord Jesus came the first time the Jews rejected Him and had Him crucified. He is a Jew, He is their firstborn, He is the savior of the world. How can you be Jewish and not really proud of that? Instead the leaders of the Jews have lied to them repeatedly to blind them of this fact because they are covering up their own sins. Now imagine we have the first rapture, the world goes crazy, you hear all kinds of stories from UFO’s to everything under the sun. However, no one can avoid the fact that this was the rapture, that the Christians have talked about this for 2,000 years, and now there are many Christians who are left behind and they are talking about it. Then there is a second rapture and those Christians are also taken (though it may be more like these Christians stand for their faith and get their heads chopped off). This would be like Joseph telling his brothers for the second time that it is he. At this point there would be a bitter mourning of the Jews because they crucified the Lord, they denied the Lord, they lied about Him, they refused at every opportunity to turn and repent and seek Him.

God REVEALED To Her Powerful Signs In These Experiences ! You Need To Hear This

 

[ZNP]

70 AD is a very big fulfillment to prophecy

Jesus said that not one stone would be left upon another. That took place in 70 AD at the 9th of Av. He also said that when you see Jerusalem compassed about with armies to flee into the mountains, that was in the winter of 70AD about six months before the destruction of Jerusalem.

It is easy to see that this event is also prophetic for the end of the age. Jerusalem will again be compassed about with armies and destroyed at the time of Armageddon. So if the crucifixion was 30Ad then it was 40 years later, if 31AD it was 39 years later, etc. But the point is that the two time frames should be to scale, pattern is prophecy, what has been is what will be.

For example

30AD to 70AD is 40 years.

If I go 40 jubilees it will be 40x49 + 1 = 1961 + 70 = 2031. None of the other estimates for the year of crucifixion works (31, 32, or 33 AD). But this means that the Lord appears in glory in the clouds in 2031 and rescues Jerusalem, splitting the Mount of Olives in half. We would assume that by the day of Atonement in the Fall of 2031 the tribulation would be over and if it started seven years earlier it would start on Feast of Trumpets, 2024.

However, David reigned in Hebron for 7 1/2 years before entering Jerusalem as King, and Jacob was married to Leah for one week before marrying Rachel. So using this typology we can assume that the rapture takes place seven years before Jesus steps down on the Mount of Olives.

On the 5th of July, 1950 Israel passed "the law of return" granting all Jews the right to migrate to Israel and get citizenship. If we consider this the point at which the Fig tree put forth tender leaves then the Lord needs to return in the clouds in glory before 5th of July, 2031 (I realize there may be a slightly different date on the Gregorian calendar if God's reckoning is based on the Hebrew calendar, at this point this is sufficient estimate give or take a few weeks). Interestingly this could be the same day on the Jewish calendar that Jesus ascended into heavens, as the angel said, He will return in the same way you see Him leave. Interestingly Hosea says that Jesus will return after two days. If He ascended in 30AD and 2,000 years represents two days, then He returns after 2030 but before ascension day in 2031.

Also we can assume that Jesus takes His Gentile bride (Leah) seven years before that time in 2024. By the Hebrew calendar that would be before June 28, by Gregorian that would be before July 5th.

Therefore our understanding of four or five prophecies hinges on the next five months.

Coming like a thief in the night

Exodus 11:2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver and jewels of gold.

Reading Exodus I was surprised at how often this is mentioned and how to God this is a big point. It is God that emphasizes this and instructs them to do this.

Imagine that 1% of the world's population is raptured, in the US that would be about 3.5 million people. Maybe there are more Christians in the US on a percentage basis than the rest of the world, perhaps 7 million Americans are raptured. How many have car loans? How many have mortgages?

In the US about 6 million homes are sold each year, what happens when there are six million empty homes all at once? There are about 3 million new cars sold each year in the US, what happens when there are 5 or 6 million cars abandoned?

What happens to the bank accounts? Without a body you can't declare a person dead, so all the money is frozen. Defaults on loans is going to skyrocket. You could be talking about $200 billion to even $1 trillion! That is just the US, the rest of the world will be hit too, but not nearly as hard. The housing market and the car market are the two engines of the economy, the US will be like an airplane where both engines are lost in an instant. Think how much tax revenue will be lost! The only reason the US is not bankrupt is because they get $5.5 trillion a year in tax revenue. If they were to get $3 trillion one year the country is bankrupt.

This verse about Passover suggests that people will be getting a big credit card bill right before the rapture.

1Samuel 30:1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; 2 And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. 3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. 4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep. 5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.

Today Trump lost two civil cases and the judgement is to pay about $400 million in damages. This is like what happened here in Ziklag. Mike Lindell is also being robbed, and same with Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro. There are many people who are close associates with Trump who have been robbed, everything is gone.

7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. 8 And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

Let's go! Pursue them! We are in a Spiritual warfare with those who want to destroy us, be a man, stand strong in the Lord of Hosts!

9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed. 10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.

This has been an exhausting 3 years, some are faint. But for those of us who still have the strength and endurance to pursue, let's do it!

11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water; 12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights. 13 And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.

The Amalekites are running for their lives, they too are exhausted and they too realize that an army could be hot on their tale. Pray that we would run and not faint. Pray that the Lord would strengthen and sustain you for the battle.

14 We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire. 15 And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.

One major weakness of all these fleshly people is that people hate them, they are inhumane, liars, cheats who would just leave a guy by the wayside to die.

16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.

You get that, this is our enemy, a profligate, lascivious, fleshly group. They run for three days and figure now we have gotten far enough away, so let's party. They left people by the wayside who can lead us to them. Now we can strike while they are befuddled and exhausted.

17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled. 18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. 19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all. 20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.

To the victor go the spoils. A lot of people want to know when the rapture will be. Don't you want to take part in these victories first?

21 And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them. 22 Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart. 23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the Lord hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand. 24 For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.

We all have a role and a function in the Lord's kingdom. There are many gifts, many ministries. Not all are warriors, not all guard the stuff, not all raise the children, but we need everyone, every gift, every ministry.

25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day. 26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the Lord; 27 To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir, 28 And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa, 29 And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites, 30 And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach, 31 And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.

You get that, right now not only is Trump and key people in MAGA in these trials trying to bankrupt them, but we are also seeing 26 states being intimidated by the move from Biden. However this turns out I expect the states who have supported Trump to be repaid as well.

Anything that I have posted on here I have listened to, (I may or may not agree with it, that is not the criteria for me to post. I post if it is relevant to the rapture, if it expounds on the word of God, and if it is new. There are many posts on this thread that I don't subscribe to, but I recognize it is a Biblically based exposition with regards to the rapture. However, I am not trying to have some comprehensive blog on every teaching out there. I probably listen to three or four different messages for every one I post. I often will listen at double speed and if I have not gotten anything in the first 5-10 minutes stop listening. There is a lot of click bait out there.

[ZNP]

There are many different time frames, but they don't have to be linear. For example, if we assume that the Fig Tree generation putting forth tender leaves begins a generation that will last 80 years before Jesus returns in glory in the clouds, that doesn't mean the seven year period of the 70th week is over, or if that does conclude the 70th week it doesn't mean that the "great tribulation" is over. I think we will have seven years of plenty prior to seven years of famine, but that doesn't mean the seven years of famine concludes with the Great tribulation ending. We have a pre tribulation rapture, but is it the day the tribulation starts, or is it 6 months before the tribulation starts or a few weeks? I think it is more reasonable to think of having a number of different wheels within wheels like you have with a watch. For example, I think the worldwide pandemic and global shutdown was a key event in Bible prophecy, but not the start of a seven year period. It could have been the longest day encompassing 2020 and 2021 indicating that the day of the Lord is near, but not yet started. Think of it as the final dress rehearsal before the opening night of the show. Basically they did it in 2020 on Nisan 1. Four years later would also fit the fig tree prophecy, so cutting down the tree could take place beginning on Nisan 1 of 2024 or as late as Fall of 2025 (because September of 2021 was the vaccine mandate).

However, the 70th week should begin on the first day of the year on the beginning of a Shemitah. According to the internet they say the Shemitah begins on Rosh Hashanah. Their reasoning is confused and inferential. However, it seems to me that these two dates mark two birthdays, Rosh Hashanah is the birthday of the world. When the Bible says that Nisan is the first of the months for Israel I think it is referring to their "birth" as a nation. For example, Christians are "born again". You have two birthdays, the one for you according to the flesh and the one according to the spirit.

In the same way I see the 70th week having two versions. For those born of the Spirit it begins on Nisan 1, for those born of the flesh it begins on Tishrei 1. Everyone will be reconciled by Tishrei 10, the day of Atonement. But those born of the Spirit would have their year begin and end on Nisan 1, not Tishrei 1. When Jesus steps down on the Mount of Olives that is the end and the beginning for the Jews, but when he blows on the armies of Armageddon that will be the end for the world. These are almost certainly different days and perhaps even different months.

As for the famine it would not end on Nisan 1, that wouldn't make any sense, it would have to end on Tishrei 1 when you have brought in the harvest. Likewise it wouldn't make sense to begin on Nisan 1, it would begin on Tishrei 1 when you have a bad harvest.

For example, consider the pandemic. You can argue that it began on Tishrei 1 because that was the first case in China, but you can also argue it began on Nisan 1 because that is when NY shut down. For the world it began 6 months before it began for the US (representing the only "Christian" nation, those who are born again). Likewise, the situation in China is dire with unemployment, bankruptcy, famine, and unrest. That began on Rosh Hashanah of 2023. This was from AI and machine learning and 3d printers taking their jobs. However, for the US it may not begin until Nisan 1 of 2024. Already we are seeing layoffs across the board, so it is here, but it is not bad enough to cause a depression yet. In China they have 50% unemployment in many areas, perhaps that is what we will see six months from now.

October 7th was the anniversary of the Yom Kippur war, a judgement on the world for all the violence. But six months later will be April 7th, when we have that big solar eclipse that makes an X over the US, particularly over little Egypt. We could have an event of

 

[ZNP]

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge

AI, Machine learning, 3d printing, robots, drones, self driving vehicles, etc. These things will replace 80% of workers worldwide. Already in China they have 50% unemployment in many cities. The governments of the world and all the elites of the world saw this coming. As a result they prepared and planned for this event. They tell people that the plan was UBI, universal basic income. But that is not the plan. The plan was the worldwide pandemic and the global shutdown.

Why would you shut down the economy and have a vaccine mandate? Because the vaccine is a crucial part of the plan. The vaccine gives you acquired immune deficiency. With every shot your immune system gets more deficient. After ten shots you are ready for a pandemic 2.0 only this time people will be dropping like flies. It is estimated that 80% of the world's population has been inoculated. If people are dead they won't need any UBI.

The masks were also essential because with cameras they can identify who is compliant and who isn't. They can cross reference with your posts on social media and determine who is not vaccinated and who will not be compliant and create a list of these people.

They know that Christians will also be non compliant because they know about the Antichrist, the Beast system, and the mark of the beast. So they have been tracking those that buy bibles. They also know that preppers will be an issue, so they have been tracking people who buy fishing poles and other equipment to survive off the grid. They have poisoned the deer so they will die along with other animals making it very hard to feed yourself by hunting. They will hunt people down who are not part of their new world order, but some guy living off grid is not going to be a top priority. Churches and pastors will be the first priority.

Obviously anyone with such an evil plan is truly evil to the core, and they are very few of those. Probably 1-2% of the world's population are psychopaths, and perhaps another 1-2% would go along with the psychopaths. The Nazis won 2.8% of the vote. However, if you throw in an attack by the communists on the Reichstag you can manipulate 18% to support them, if you get the "German miracle" by a bunch of Fascists building up the German industry with foreign money then you can get 33% supporting them. (We see these same tactics with the inflation in the US and Jan 6th being a false flag event). If you go to war and have glorious victories in Austria and Poland you can get over 40% supporting the Nazis. However this still shows that about 60% of the people can discern between good and evil and will not actively support their evil rhetoric. However, threats of death and retaliation for "Jewish sympathizers" (similar to labeling Christians as domestic terrorists) will scare a good 30% more. Only 30% will have the backbone to stand up to the Nazis. That is about 18 million people. Of those about 9-10 million were killed by the Nazis or the death camps. Of the other 9 million many were in the army, some fled the country and some helped hide jews. We will see the same thing, but this time we'll begin by removing those who are currently standing up to the Nazis (the rapture). Then perhaps 20% of the world's population will still get saved and take a stand for Jesus and be martyred. About 10% will take the mark of the beast (Nazi's), 15% will be exterminated, and half of everyone else will die (famine, plague, war and disasters).

That is what we are told in the book of Revelation. It still indicates that upwards of 2 billion will be saved.

My point is we should not be so naive as to think there are not very evil people like Hitler, only worse. They will be like Stalin but worse, like Mao, and like all the other psychopathic leaders. Even though these psychopaths only represent 1% of the population, you will still have another 69% who are lemmings and sheeple, willing to be manipulated, just as Germany had. The Germans are not a uniquely evil nation, on the contrary they are ordinary people who respond to extraordinary difficulties in predictable and typical ways that can be predicted.

There is no reason to see this in a negative light. First, we know that Jesus is Lord, He is the savior, turn to Him and put your full trust in Him. Second, this hasn't started yet. Food and church members will be the two most important things during these hard times. Buy up all the rice and beans you can, and be connected with the church. If you are raptured, hallelujah, if you are left behind, hopefully you can find others for a home meeting. Third, learn to pray, the Lord will respond to prayer with miracles. He will multiply food, He will heal sickness, He will hide you under His wing from the enemy, etc. Fourth, and most importantly, make sure you have a hard copy of the bible and you would be wise to buy that bible with cash as they are now tracking all the purchases of Bibles.

Matthew 19:1 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;

2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

"After these sayings" is a reference to chapter 18 where Jesus talks about forgiving this huge debt of sin that a man had and then he goes out and throws someone in prison for a tiny debt that they had to him. So it is very likely that many divorces are a result of this unforgiveness for small offenses. Granted when someone sins against you it may not seem small, perhaps your spouse is not fully appreciative, maybe you feel they are disrespectful, insulting, and so a root of bitterness grows. I don't know all the reasons for a divorce, I do know that money is a major one.

I also know that there can be desperate situations as a result of an addiction to drugs or gambling and this can lead to a very dangerous domestic situation as well as domestic abuse. So I do have an encouraging word for those faced with this difficult decision. Most people did not think that Jesus was born of a virgin, there were a lot of ugly insinuations and rumors about His birth so He can certainly comfort you if you are being slandered and maligned. It goes without saying in an age of AIDS that fornication is an exception that Jesus provided for.

But I want to point out something else that has impressed me. Joseph was descended from a cursed line of David. According to the curse none of his descendants would sit on the throne, and that includes Joseph. I recently learned that we need to repent for generational curses as well as any sins that we may have done personally. People who are under such a curse usually are aware of it, they'll say things like "our family is cursed" or they'll notice everyone in the family has a certain problem. The Lord's blood will break that curse. You may ask why should Joseph have to live in a situation where all these nasty rumors are spread about him and Mary. To understand that you have to know what the generational curse was. Also why should Mary? Consider David's sins, and the generational curse on his family.

I say this because often we feel that "life is unfair". That is true, but it is because we have mistreated others or our ancestors have and so this gives us a chance to empathize and repent for those sins. Even though you didn't commit them, they are part of your DNA. We know from our DNA that all of us are predisposed to certain illnesses. So think of all the things that happen to you to be God's mercy to be fully cleansed and healed from sin and it's harmful effects.
