2 Chronicles 12:12 Because Rehoboam humbled himself, the Lord’s anger turned from him, and he was not totally destroyed. Indeed, there was some good in Judah.

A proper response to being chastised by the Lord.

14 He did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the Lord.

The key takeaway. Set your heart on seeking the Lord. We are created to seek something, either we will seek the Lord or we will wind up doing evil.

Learn the principle of being victorious in war

2 Chronicles 13:18 The Israelites were subdued on that occasion, and the people of Judah were victorious because they relied on the Lord, the God of their ancestors.

Do you know why the foolish virgins didn't bring oil?

Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

They assumed the Lord was just about to come. They ran out of oil because the Bridegroom tarried. This is why so many get angry with the watchmen. The Lord told us clearly to occupy until He comes. No one should stop pursuing the Lord, stop ministering, stop evangelizing, or in any way stop serving the Lord simply because we see the day approaching. On the contrary we are told not to abandon the gathering of ourselves together and so much the more as you see the day approaching.

I have now added another volume

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Lc-CjfWlJPXc7D5H7ocz8WaF72zW3JqZ/view?usp=sharing

Look Up, Your redemption draws near (Volume 11).

These volumes are 400 page Pdfs that compile the posts of this blog. I don't know when the Lord will return, but if it isn't this weekend I will likely begin work on editing these 11 volumes into a variety of books on different topics. I don't view these volumes as books but just a collection of my notes.

Left Behind letter

I have shared this before but we have had about 14,000 new visitors since the last time I shared this.

If you download these Pdfs to a flash drive it will be a powerful left behind letter. After the rapture there will probably be a three week blackout before the internet comes back up with a full censorship and control from the Antichrist. Think of all those people who are completely locked into their phones, TV and internet. If that goes down they will have three weeks and will want to know what is going on. Having this (and it includes a KJV Bible) will allow them to really dig into this for the three weeks. If you make a few copies and put them on flash drives Antichrist and his minions will not be able to track this. We should all have left behind letters and Bibles.

False Prophets

It seems everyone is going to need to know this and to be able to discern false prophets during the tribulation. This Pdf is 32 pages on this subject. I kept it to false prophets and didn't get into discerning liars, I thought that would make it too long. This Pdf is the 15 posts on False prophets in this blog.

Here is the Pdf on the evidence that the rapture is the last day of Adar

251 Bible verses on that describe when the rapture is

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DD4uTLBu6cPeOQFYYQYmrocCzAWzRLiI/view?usp=sharing

We always hear that no one knows when the rapture will be. Of course the Lord never
said no one knows the year or the season, just the day and the hour. But suppose that
verse means “no one verse knows”. You see you can get one verse in Hosea that does
point to the year and you can get one verse in Amos that does point to the season and
one verse in Jeremiah that does point to the season. Now imagine each of these 108
Bible verses tell us something, none of them tell us “the day or the hour” but they each
narrow down the possible days and hours. In other words they could be a filter
removing days and hours that don’t fit.

This is a Pdf that discusses how to discern a false prophet, it also discusses several key verses on the timing of the rapture as well as Ken Peters dream, the writing on the Wall sign and a few other relevant points about thanksgiving, and the Pact for the Future.

Writing on the Wall Sign

Here is a summary of what I posted on this blog concerning the Writing on the Wall sign along with what I have shared on Daniel.

A Letter to those left behind after the rapture

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dM18beTF9Jka3w8XUk10ARkI-cYnltH5/view?usp=sharing

I based most of my letter on the Gospel according to Mark and the Book of Acts.

We are at war -- our enemies are already destroying our communications satellites.

Because of this the internet could go down at any time.

Therefore I expect this forum and especially this blog will be censored and unavailable. After the rapture the internet, TV and radio will all go dark for about 3 weeks, and when it comes back up it will be run by quantum computers giving the Antichrist total control over what everyone can see. As a result I have created these Pdfs. I recommend you download them to a computer or flash drive. This is not because of my interpretation of the word but rather because these all are filled with the word of God. If you are using an online Bible you will greatly appreciate having something like this. Plus, for those who are newly saved it will be an example of how you can read the Bible. I think it will give you something you can read during those three weeks and can help fill you with faith for anyone who is left behind.

We have a few thousand new visitors since the last time I posted these. These are here for anyone to download. In a very short time frame the internet will be fully censored of material on the Bible.

Index of Bible References volumes 1-5

I would have done this for all of them but ran out of time. However, it does help those who are interested in a particular verse to find the verse and what is said about it. One reason I did this was so I could look for verses that had not been referenced.

Who is the Great Babylon

This Pdf goes through every verse in the New Testament and many in the Old referring to Babylon. I see which of the various interpretations fit. The main three are: Israel, Vatican and the US, though I also see if England fits any. I used to subscribe to the teaching of Darby and Watchman Nee on this, however, everyone should know that when they taught the US was not a superpower, Hollywood and Multinational corporations did not exist (true for Darby, Watchman Nee was around at the time of silent movies). The pandemic had not taken place and the apostasy in the US had not taken place. You could not compare the US to Sodom and Gomorrah at the time of Darby or Watchman Nee.

Everyone has been warned and should be prepared.

1. You want black plastic and duct tape to tape up the windows of your home during the three days of darkness.

2. You need enough candles for the three days but an oil lamp would be better.

3. You need something to read for those three days. I would recommend a King James Bible. I will also include Pdfs of this blog, but any good spiritual book that you trust, could be a biography of a man of God. I would focus on prayer and fasting for the three days, but you can also probably read two or three biographies during this time as well.

4. Plenty of bottled water.

Make sure everything is fully charged. When you see the dancing lights you have a few more hours to get the stuff charged up.

It would probably be advisable at this time to put up signs that say "Jesus Christ is Lord and King of this house" and tape them to the doors and windows when you see the dancing lights. This will keep demons and fallen angels away. Also it is very likely that the darkness will begin at 12 noon Jerusalem time. So you can use that to guesstimate how much time you have.

These are Pdfs anyone can download of all my posts.

It is crystal clear that the Calendar is off.

1. The feast where you are to bring a tithe from your Barley crop was around April 15th. Meanwhile the Barley harvest in Israel is from early April into May. At the time of Moses it would take some of these farmers a full ten days to go to Jerusalem for Passover and Firstfruits and that would be in the middle of the harvest. If you move the date one month the feast would right after the harvest is over, the best time for a farmer to take a week off to go to Jerusalem.

2. Then Shavuot, the feast to bring a tithe of your Wheat harvest is 7 complete sabbaths later. Generally considered 50-55 days later. That is June 1st according to the Jewish leaders who are false prophets since they rejected the Lord who redeemed them. However, the Wheat harvest begins in May and goes through June. So again, you are taking a week off in the middle of the harvest. Again, if the celebration of Passover is one month later then this feast would also be a month later, that is July 1st after the wheat harvest and again the best time for a farmer to head to Jerusalem to celebrate.

3. The Feast of New wine is fifty days after Shavuot. That would be July 1. Grapes are harvested in Israel starting in July and going all the way through October. After they are harvested it takes a bare minimum of a week to make new wine. So how is a farmer going to harvest his grapes in July, then make wine which would take another week, and then get to Jerusalem all by the 1st of July? 50 days after July 1st is August 20th and there would be plenty of time to harvest grapes and make new wine and get it to Jerusalem for this feast.

4. But then the feast of new oil is fifty days after this. Olives are harvested for oil in October through December. But the Jewish leaders are celebrating this on September 14th! This is before anyone could even harvest olives much less make oil. However, 50 days after August 20th is October 9th. This would barely make it. Therefore this calculation of seven complete sabbaths plus one day is likely not 50 days. These feasts are always done on the first day after the sabbath. That would mean that week is not a complete sabbath. Therefore you could add six more days. This makes sense, you are in Jerusalem celebrating this feast. You then need three days to get home. That should not count for the farmer.

Here is the new calculation if we start the Barley feast one month after the current Passover and unleavened bread feasts.

1. Barley -- May 15th

2. Wheat -- July 10th

3. Wine -- September 4th

4. Oil -- November 30th.

If Israel is God's prophetic clock, what time was it on May 14th, 1948?

I can see an argument for it being resurrection day (Nisan 17) and I can see an argument for it being the first day of the year (Nisan 1). But other than that? Can't see it.

Mark 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

This word is only in Mark. Only in this gospel does John say that he already "baptized them in water". Imagine you are a Christian and you are left behind. You believed, you were baptized, why were you left behind? You need to be baptized in the Spirit. Don't infer from this that you must speak in tongues, that is only one manifestation of being baptized in the Spirit.

Acts 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

This is why I think the book of Acts is like a bookend to the church age and the tribulation is the other bookend.

Acts 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

This is the case with many Christians and will be the case with all those who are left behind.

17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.


This is a critical sign of being a Christian.

Acts 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?


This was a crucial sign of being a Christian in the book of Acts and this has been neglected by many if not most in Christianity.


Acts 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. 16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Acts 19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. 4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

Most of Christianity preaches the baptism of repentance.

5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

Here we see there are two signs that accompany the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues and prophesy.

1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

The baptism of repentance does not baptize you into the one body, it is by one Spirit that you are baptized into one body. As a result of the baptism of the Spirit you will be made to drink into one Spirit. The baptism of repentance leads to forgiveness, but the baptism of the Spirit leads to being in one Body with all the various functions or gifts of the Body and drinking of one Spirit.

Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

This whole debate about salvation by faith or salvation by works is a distraction. The fact is that salvation leads to you putting on Christ like a uniform. If you have never put on Jesus Christ as a uniform then you have never experienced the authority that is in Christ.

Simple explanation on the Calendar

I have written several pages on this topic and I can sympathize with anyone who doesn't want to read all that, so here is the simple explanation. There are four feasts which celebrate the first fruits. If you use the current date given for Passover it will not make any sense. For example, for Barley and Wheat you are required to go to Jerusalem, this trip could take a week to ten days (Passover to first fruits is three days). These festivals would take place in the middle of the harvest and no doubt would be extremely inconvenient to the farmers of these crops. The third feast, the one for new wine would take place before you could possibly have any new wine. Right now the Jews are celebrating this feast in the beginning of June even though you couldn't possibly have new wine until the end of July. Likewise, the feast of new oil is in September even though they don't even begin to harvest olives until October. The best time to celebrate the harvest is right after the harvest and that is what would happen if the real Feast of First fruits for Barley is May 14, the day that Israel was made a nation again. Both new wine and new oil would also work, however, the feast would still be in the middle of the harvest. But this is not a problem because you are not required to go to Jerusalem. Everyone could still celebrate the New wine and still be in the field harvesting the same day, or at most simply take one day off. The same with new oil.

The entire basis for looking at these feast days is that we say they are a shadow of things to come. Well, that means at least one of these feast days is a shadow of the Jews walking out of the graves and into the land of Israel again. There are only two days on the calendar where this could be the case, 17th of Nisan or 15th of Av. Since this was May 14th it could not possibly be the 15th of Av so the best explanation is that it was the 17th of Nisan. A secondary possibility is it was Nisan 1. You can make a case for either one.
