Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

The Wages of Sin

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

When you are working at a job you get paid for what you do. God is telling you that "as you have done it will be done to you". He is telling you "with what measure you measure it will be measured to you". Think about gangsters, they almost always die because of "payback" from some other gangster. Often the initiation is to go and shoot someone from another gang. The person never did anything to you and yet you go and shoot them. Well, don't complain if one day some gangster comes and shoots you even though you never did anything to them.

Now contrast that with a gift. You don't get a gift because you did some work, a genuine gift is not payback, nor does it expect a "quid pro quo". In the world their gifts all have strings attached.

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

This is similar to the wages of sin is death, only you can sow seeds to the spirit or to the flesh.

8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Sowing to the flesh may not be the same as "sin". Perhaps you are simply watching a movie, or attending a show, or a concert, etc. Hollywood and the Music industry are also sowing seeds. These seeds will grow up and you will reap. But here is the beautiful thing, if you spend 15 minutes a day sowing to the spirit you will reap in due time. Suppose you read four chapters from the Bible every day, that is a sowing to the Spirit. Suppose while commuting to work you listen to worship music, that could be another 90 minutes a day sowing to the spirit. Maybe you go to three or four hours of meetings with the church, that is also sowing to the spirit. Perhaps you read the biography of a man or woman of God. That also is sowing to the Spirit.

For the first twenty years of my Christian life I did not have a TV. Think about it, when you are on your death bed do you think you will be regretting that you didn't watch more TV?

So there are two ways to tip the scales, you can cut off those activities that the Holy Spirit tells you are not beneficial. And you can spend more time doing those activities that you know are sowing to your spirit.

Very often I hear from people "there is nothing wrong with this". But that isn't the question. Is there anything right about it? Either you are sowing to your spirit or you aren't.

Now it may be that the Lord does want you to go fishing, it may be that the Lord does want you to take your family on a vacation camping. We are not talking about being religious and appearing to be holy. Simply being sensitive to the Lord's speaking. Let the Holy Spirit guide you, but if you are continually making excuses and saying things like "there is nothing wrong with this" then that tells me the Holy Spirit is talking to you and you are trying to ignore Him.

 

[ZNP]

Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

The 4 day warning

If the rapture takes place in the next 16 days we should get the destruction of Damascus and perhaps Kyiv four days before (signifying Lazarus) as well as the death of the Pope (signifying the rich man).

In the Gospel of John we see Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead. If we compare this with what Jesus says on Purim in John chapter 5 you can see that the raising of Lazarus is the one miracle that will cause all men to marvel when Jesus will call and the dead in the graves will hear His voice and come forth. Therefore we know that raising Lazarus from the dead is a shadow of the rapture at the end of the age and it will take place immediately before Passover. If we assume that John 12 is 8 days after Lazarus is raised and six days before the crucifixion it mean that Lazarus was raised at the last day of the 12th month and that would be why Moses declared that Nisan will be the first month for you. The rapture is a momentous event that ends the church age. What happened in Exodus that depicted the rapture. In Chapter 10 Moses tells Pharaoh there will be three days of darkness and Pharaoh tells Moses not to see his face again and then God tells Moses that the firstborn of all Egypt will die. These two events are a shadow of the rapture. When the rapture takes place God will take a tithe from the church, the firstborn, those will be the ones who are raptured and when they are caught up the fallen angels are cast out and there will be three days of darkness. Then Moses declares in chapter 12 that this will be the first month of the year for them, Nisan 1, and this is the beginning of Israel leaving Egypt.

So then we see the rapture taking place in Exodus immediately before Nisan 1. There are several references to those who are not raptured being cast out into outer darkness.

Now we have to see that the gospel of John only tells us part of the story of Lazarus, it doesn't tell us about his death, only his resurrection. However, the gospel of Luke only tells us about his death and doesn't tell us about his resurrection. Lazarus is covered with sores sitting at the rich man's gate. Who is this rich man? Well, he wants to tell his brothers and Jesus tells him they have Moses. So I think it is safe to assume he is Jewish as "having Moses" is distinctly Jewish. Since his brothers have Moses that would make him Jewish. The Damascus gate is in Jerusalem and we are watching right now as Christians in Syria and in Damascus are being slaughtered. We have a prophecy about Damascus becoming a ruinous heap. I don't think it is a stretch to say that Lazarus dying 4 days before the rapture can be predictive of Damascus becoming a ruinous heap four days before the rapture.

However, Ukraine is also considered a gateway from Europe into Russia. The Pope is a rich man who wears purple and if he were to die and go to hell we could imagine him also wanting to warn his brothers. It would also be reasonable that Jesus would tell him that they have Moses and the Prophets.

Now if we look at Samson we see a great feast to Dagon is when the two pillars are pushed out indicating the rapture. If we look at the Sacrifice that Elijah makes when fire falls from heaven we see that you have two groups, the prophets of Baal and the Prophets from the grove that eat at Jezebel's table. This could refer to two religious groups all gathered together, one of whom must refer to Catholics. There are two sacrifices and they are devoured by the fire. Immediately after this event Elijah flees from Jezebel and thinks he is going to perish. This is also when he had prayed that it would not rain for 42 months. Immediately after this event the rain comes, that is the latter rain that Joel says will be in the first month.

My point is that the destruction of Damascus is prophesied as a sign to the Jews similar to Noah getting a seven day warning. However, I think there are two groups at this time, Jews and left behind Christians and both will get a sign. Ukraine is Greek Orthodox Catholic and is lying at the gate of Europe where the Pope dwells while Damascus is slaughtering Christians and lies at the gate of Jerusalem where the Jewish leaders dwell.

Let us understand what is the significance of the Equilux and Equinox.

We know from John 5 that Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead is around Purim. We also know that Purim is around the time of the Equinox.

John 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

No verse is of its own interpretation. It is certainly reasonable to interpret this verse as being a reference to the equinox. God is precise and for an agricultural economy that depends on farming the equinox would be well known. And yes, for Jerusalem the day of equal parts (12 hours of day and 12 hours of night) is two days from the equinox. This two day delay is also spoken in this story, so that is three separate Biblical references that tie the time frame of this chapter to the Purim season and specifically to the Equinox. In fact we can calculate that Lazarus dies on the equilux. Martha and Mary see Lazarus very sick and send for Jesus. When He hears this report He lets the disciples know that Lazarus is dead and He reports that it is the equilux. He waits two days and then goes to Bethany. However, Lazarus has been in the grave for four days. That would indicate that it was either a one or two day trip. But if it was a one day trip then Mary and Martha are sending for Him when he has died. But if it is a two day trip they send for Jesus when Lazarus is two days from dying which makes more sense.

So then let us understand what is the significance of the Equilux and Equinox.

Matthew 16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

We have one event, Jesus' crucifixion and yet for half the people this is the end of their day -- the sun is setting and for the other half this is the beginning of their day -- the sun is rising. It is the same sign but the meaning changes depending on the person who is seeing the sign. Amazingly we can see the Equinox exactly the same way. This is the moment when the sun first begins to rise at the north pole and will stay risen for the next six months. However, it is also the moment when the sun first sets at the south pole and will stay night for the next six months. Same event, but the meaning changes depending on whether you are at the north pole or the south pole.

The same is true of the rapture. It is the "great and terrible day". Great for those who are raptured and terrible for those who aren't. That is precisely what the Lord is saying about how some are walking in the light and others are stumbling in the dark. But it is also amazing that 10% of the earth's population lives in the Southern Hemisphere and 90% live in the Northern hemisphere. You can look at the rapture as a tithe of the believers where God takes 10%. We have believers all over the earth, but what percent of them have the light in them. The word of God is a lamp unto our path, for some that means they come to church and listen to the word that someone else has, and for others that word is in them, guiding them all the time. For example, consider the pandemic, why did churches allow the US government to shut their doors without so much as a peep? Not everyone, but easily the vast majority. For example, in NYC where I lived, the casino in Queens was open, and the Costco was open, but our church building was closed. Why? Doesn't that violate the US constitution? They stumbled because the light was not in them.

John 16:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

Jesus is saying the cross is a moment in time of this reversal. Purim is all about this kind of reversal. One moment you think you are going to die and the next everything is reversed. The Equinox is a moment every six months of this reversal from summer to winter and from winter to summer.

Luke 6:21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

This verse is telling us that the church age is a winter. We know that spring time is when you laugh. Anyone who teaches school children knows this very well, the whole mood changes on that first sunny spring day.

22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. 24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Once again we see this dichotomy where those that embrace the Lord are reproached and we saw the same thing with Lazarus. He was a beggar, lying at the gate, covered with sores and in this story he dies and the rich man dies. Lazarus was the offscouring of all things, and the rich man was full, he was laughing now, he was spoken well of. Jesus is likening him to a false prophet.

John 11:6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

In Jerusalem the Equilux is two days before the Equinox. Here is another reference to the Equilux and Equinox. We know that this took place shortly before Passover. A google search puts Passover as April 12th, and if Jesus went to Bethany on March 21 that would be twenty one days before the Passover. It would also indicate that Lazarus was raised from the dead around March 23. Which interestingly, this year falls on the Lord's day, that is our Holy convocation for the rapture and the wedding feast. John talks about this when he says:

Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

Paul also talked about this dichotomy when he said:

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

And of course this is a major theme in the gospel of John

John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Let my people go, that they may serve me

Exodus 10:10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him: 2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the Lord. 3 And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

"Let my people go, that they may serve Me" is a reference to both the saints taken during the rapture and all those left behind. The rapture will precede Moses declaring that Nisan is now the first month of the year for them.

4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field: 6 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.

We have seen during Biden's administration that they brought 20 million illegals into our coasts and they have covered the face of America and they have eaten up the residue of the government budget. Estimates suggest that all job growth claimed by Biden administration went to illegals and the cost to bring them into the US might have been as great as 1.5 trillion dollars. We also know that the government stimulus spending relative to GDP was at a crisis level during Biden's administration. As a result we have delayed officially recognizing we were in a recession for two years. Just like Jesus waiting for two days when He got the news that Lazarus was sick, that would have been during the first two years of Biden's administration as people were crying out for justice concerning the vaccine mandate, the open border, and the DEI policies. But then two years ago the really sick policies went off the charts and that is when Jesus began to come. In 2023 Russia invades Ukraine and Hamas invades Israel. We wrote blank checks to Zelensky while ignoring people in East Palestine after the railroad crash and in North Carolina after the hurricane and Lahaina after the fire.

7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?

This is what the 2024 election said, the country realized that Joe Biden was destroying the nation.

12 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.

DOGE is discovering the extent of the waste and it is stunning.

13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

An East wind, China, Ukraine and the Mid East are all in the "East".

14 And the locust went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.

Biden's administration gave money to NGO's to pay to bring the illegals to every part of America.

15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt. 16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you. 17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the Lord your God, that he may take away from me this death only. 18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the Lord. 19 And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk and DOGE are that strong west wind. The US is a western power and Trump's campaign is to "make America great again", it is a strong nationalist wind compared to Biden who was a globalist, completely sold out to the East.

This is where we are right now and the next plague is

20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.

21 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. 22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:

It is during this plague that Pharaoh says this:

28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.

This is a clear reference to the tribulation where Christians are hunted down and killed. We know that during the rapture those who are not taken are cast out into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. So the three days of darkness is a reference to the rapture as well. Passover is the dawning of a new age.

 

[ZNP]

Nisan 1 is the day that the two witnesses begin their ministry.

12:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, 2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

Here we see Moses beginning a new ministry on Nisan 1, right after the rapture and the three days of darkness.

1,260 days later would be January 10th, 2028. However, there is a theory that God does not count the Equinox as a day, or calls them hidden days. That would make it January 17th. Three and a half days later they rise from the dead on January 21st, 2028 which is the Feast of Trumpets.

 

[ZNP]

Why does the rapture have to happen on a feast day?

This is a misunderstanding. When you say "feast day" we can easily confuse this with one of the Feasts of the Lord. What the Bible says is that the great and terrible day of the Lord is an appointed day. It must be an appointed day because God tells us the end from the beginning. Then in addition to that we have several shadows of the rapture that indicate it is an appointed day of the Lord. Samson pushes out the pillars on a great sacrifice to Dagon. However, this sacrifice is not a pagan holiday because when Elijah calls down fire from heaven God is the one that called everyone together and we see 400 false prophets from one religion and 450 false prophets from another religion all gathered with the children of Israel and Elijah. They would not all be there if it was one of the pagan holidays like Easter or Christmas. So then God is the one who calls this gathering, it is a very big gathering, a great sacrifice to Dagon, and we are told repeatedly about it in the Bible, both the Old Testament and the New. John 5 tells us about it during Purim and John 11 is a shadow of the rapture which takes place the month prior to Nisan. It uses the term that the Passover is "next door", ie, the next month.

However, the rapture can not happen on a feast of the Lord. The rapture is a "great and terrible" day. You would not call any of the seven feasts of the Lord a "terrible day". You might say that of the Day of Atonement, but there is no rapture symbology other than judgment on the day of Atonement. The rapture we are talking about takes place prior to the Day of Atonement whereas the Day of Atonement would be at the end of the tribulation. In all the seven feasts we can see some aspect of the rapture. The Passover starts seven days of unleavened bread, could be a reference to the start of the tribulation. Three days after the Passover you get the resurrection, that also is a shadow of the rapture. There is a second chance at the Passover on second Passover and that could be a reference to the left behind saints. Shavuot, the feast of weeks, is also likened to the birth of a baby, Trumpets announces the coming of the king and Feast of Tabernacles is a wedding ceremony. These feasts were all Holy convocations, dress rehearsals for the real thing with the Messiah so that the Jews would recognize Jesus when He came. The reason people like Dr. Barry Awe are fixated on the feasts of the Lord is they tell the salvation story and you can see types and shadows of the rapture in every story. However, they cannot be the rapture date for several reasons.

First, everything that they depict is included in the Lord's table and Jesus made it very clear the Lord's table is when we will be raptured, that will be when He drinks the cup of blessing again. That does not mean the rapture is on the Lord's day. Jesus initiated the Lord's table on Wednesday and then we celebrate it on the Lord's day because of the resurrection. If I had to pick a day I would definitely pick the Lord's day, but that is simply my best guess.

Some thought based on the verse that the Lord would drink anew the cup of wine that the rapture would be on the feast of new wine. However that is what it says in Matthew which is specific to the Jews as a nation being saved whereas in Luke it does not say "anew". There is no reference to new wine in Luke.

However, we are also told that some people will be working in the field and some will be grinding at the mill when the rapture takes place. They would not be doing that on a Feast of the Lord.

Finally Paul tells us to not let anyone judge us with respect of one of the Feast days, saying "the body is Christ". He says those are shadows, shadows of what? The body is Christ, they are shadows of Christ. In Esther there is a feast of Esther, that is a reference to the Bride of Christ. The rapture is a reference to the Bride of Christ, so the rapture will be seen in shadows of the Bride. The Feast of Esther is very clearly this shadow but we are not told when it is.

But we are given enough other clues to know that it is in the season of Purim.

Finally, Jesus says "no one knows the day and hour". Some of these references can easily be shown to not refer to the rapture, but at least one or two are. If the rapture were during one of the Feasts of the Lord then that statement would not make any sense since the Feasts of the Lord tell us precisely the day and hour to celebrate them.

Behold, The Aurora Dancing Lights Dream 3-11-25@3:33AM Shared 3-13-25

Big time warning

You will see these dancing lights prior to the three days of darkness, hours before hand. The three days of darkness starts at noon time in Jerusalem. So if you know when noon time is in Jerusalem and you see the dancing lights you will know how many hours you have.

This is when you should tape up your windows with duct tape and black plastic. I would not run to the store at this time, make sure you have all you will need before hand.

You will also need a light source. Candles are not desirable but will work. You are better off with an oil lantern.

Make sure you have a hard copy of the Bible as most houses will see the power go out and the internet go down.

This would be the best time to explain to unbelievers in your household what is about to take place in the next few hours. Basically the rapture takes place in the twinkling of an eye, and at the same time the fallen angels are cast out of heaven to the earth and for the next three days it will be a horror movie right outside your window.

I have a left behind letter written which I will show them, and I have put my entire blog on a flash drive which I will also show them, plus some other provisions.

This is like the warning that Lot got, so you can expect a certain level of disrespect and mocking just as Lot received.

The word of God protects the home, after giving any in the family the full warning I would then begin praying over the home. I would not go outside to see the dancing lights. You may want to tape "Jesus Christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings over this house" on the doors and windows.

How to know when things are really bad

Think of the world's economy as a great big ship like the Titanic. You may be down in third class and see a leak, ships deal with leaks all the time and they have pumps to pump out water, that is not proof the ship is going to sink. With the Titanic they had built it so that even if it did have a hole in the side it wouldn't sink because it was compartmentalized. No, the real sign that things are really bad is when you see the elites with their wives and children getting into lifeboats. The last thing they want to do is to leave the party, the food, the music and sit in a little life boat on the cold ocean. So if you see them doing that, then you know things are truly bad. Now in any economy stocks go up and down in value, that is not proof of a collapse, no it is only if people are buying gold and taking possession, that is the life raft they'll go to in the event the economy is sinking.
