Summary of Rapture 2025 the Summer harvest! His sword will be bathed in blood🩸 (Part 1)

This is 2 hours and 21 minutes, my guess is few people will actually listen carefully to the entire video, so I will "summarize". By that I mean I'll simply pull out some of the key points and give you the Bible to go with it.

1. Jacob's trouble

Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

Jacob's trouble is a reference to his getting married to Leah and then having to work an extra seven years to marry Rachel. Not only so but he had Leah and Rachel battling each other for the first seven years.

Mark 13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

The beginning of sorrows is equated to Jacob's trouble. According to Jewish tradition the time from the Feast of Trumpets to the Day of Atonement is called "Jacob's trouble". The Day of Atonement is the tenth day of the month and the Feast of Trumpets is the first day of the month. You might assume that between these two days you have eight days, but the Feast of Trumpets is weird, it is "the longest day" and essentially is the first two days of the month as everyone must confirm that they have seen the new moon. Therefore you can consider it a seven day period immediately preceding the Day of Atonement. Those seven days are equated to this time of trouble. What makes it even more interesting is that the High Priest is taken out and put into a chamber in the temple for these last seven days to keep him safe and to learn what needs to be done on the Day of Atonement. Removing the priest and putting him in a safe chamber is a picture of the rapture.

Isaiah 26:16 Lord, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. 17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O Lord.

Here Isaiah is likening a woman in travail to a time of trouble.

18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

Interesting, there has been an attempt by man to wrought deliverance and every attempt has been a failure. That is surely a reasonable description of human history, especially today with this emphasis on peace and security.

19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

We are told at the time of the rapture the dead in Christ will rise first.

20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

This is a reference to the people of God that are sanctified come to this chamber in the Temple seven days before the day of Atonement. Of course, seven days is understood in this context as seven years of tribulation.

21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

This is a reference to the tribulation and the Great tribulation. We can look at other verses and see that this time of trouble begins with Feast of Trumpets. Therefore we can expect the rapture to take place prior to the feast of Trumpets. Just like Jesus' ministry, he was baptized, then thrust out into the wilderness to fast and pray for forty days, then he was tempted by Satan then he came forth and started his ministry. In the same way we can view the rapture as the baptism event and all those who are left behind will then fast and pray for forty days followed by them starting their ministry shortly after that. We are told that those who are left behind are told to go visit those who sell the oil. The feast of New Oil is fifty days after the feast of new wine which coincides with the Feast of Trumpets and the start of the seven year time of Jacob's trouble.

2. Exegesis

This is where the doctrine is drawn out of the text. The Bible takes the lead.

For example:'

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

If you put those two verses together it is reasonable to consider this according to a Galilean wedding where the Bridegroom comes and snatches his bride. It is the father only who decides on the day and it is the bride who is supposed to be watching and ready.

Everyone knows your wedding anniversary. For Jesus to say no one knows the day or the hour it cannot be a reference to the wedding anniversary for the Jews. The rapture is of the church, there is no marriage of the church in the Old Testament. There are shadows like Ruth marrying Boaz, but the Torah is the covenant, the marriage covenant, of the Old Testament. The Feasts of the Lord in Leviticus refer to the feasts between God and Israel. One way to understand what the Lord is saying here is that there is no wedding anniversary recorded in the Old Testament for the rapture of the church.

Now it is perfectly reasonable to have many other plausible interpretations. However, for Jesus to say "no one knows the day or the hour" would make absolutely no sense if the rapture takes place on a Jewish feast where everyone knows the day and hour.

Someone might complain, what about Pentecost. When Peter said it is the third hour it was a reference to when the Priests were pouring out the new wine onto the earth. Hence, everyone knows the day and hour of Pentecost. Yes, but that was after Jesus said no one knows, He didn't say "no one will ever know". There is no mention of the day and hour of the Feast of New Wine in the Old Testament, the first mention is in Acts.

Others might reasonable complain that all the treasures of knowledge are hidden in the word of God (Colossians 2:3). Therefore we should be able to see the shadow of this great day in the Old Testament. We do see the shadow. What I am saying is that at the time Jesus said "no one knows the day and hour" there was no mention of the day and hour in the Bible. That did not mean there wouldn't be a mention after that point, only up to that point. Claiming we know the day and hour of Pentecost does not violate that word. On the other hand Paul says all the treasures of knowledge are hidden in the word of God. He says the church is the temple of God. The day that Samson destroyed the temple to Baal is a shadow of God destroying the apostasy. The day that the temple of God was removed from the earth is a shadow of the rapture. We did not know that until Ephesians 2:21 when Paul revealed it.

The book of Exodus is a prophetic picture of Jesus' ministry. For example, the ten plagues.

1. In Exodus Moses turns the water to blood, in the gospels Jesus turns the water to wine.

2. In Exodus Moses has the frogs come out of the river and into people’s houses. In the gospels a paralyzed man is brought into the house and Jesus heals him.

3. In Exodus the lice come up from the dust of the ground and are on people and beasts. This causes them to itch, to get diseased and to be tormented. In the gospels in Simon the Leper’s house you have Mary anointing Jesus with expensive perfume.

4. In Exodus you have swarms of flies coming into peoples homes making them very sick. This was only of the Egyptians and not of the Israelites. In the gospels a Roman centurion asks Jesus to heal his servant who is very sick and Jesus heals him even though Jesus is not in the house.

5. In Exodus the Egyptian livestock get pestilence, in the gospels the Lord tells us to take His yoke and learn from me for His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

6. In Exodus the Egyptians have boils from the soot, and we are told that for the first time the magicians also have the boils on them. In the Gospels the Pharisees examined the claims that Jesus was the Messiah and rejected them saying He was casting out demons by Beelzebub. Jesus told them that this proclamation was an unforgivable sin. From this point on, according to the Temple records, God no longer accepted the atoning sacrifice.

7. In Exodus there is thunderstorm and hail, if the Egyptians heeded this word and brought their animals in from the field they would live, otherwise they died in the field. Likewise, we see warnings concerning Jerusalem and the Temple where it was ultimately destroyed, not one stone left upon another. The jews in Jerusalem had forty years to repent and receive Jesus (30 AD is when the atoning sacrifice was no longer accepted and 70 AD was when the temple was destroyed). You can compare this to Jesus being scourged and we are healed by His stripes.

8. In Exodus the locusts eat up the crops in the gospels Jesus is presented as the bread of life that if we eat of Him we shall never hunger. This is the institution of the Lord’s table. Jesus' body is broken so that we could eat.

9. In Exodus you have three days of darkness, in the gospels Jesus is in the tomb for three days taking a tour of hades. The Jews get this tour themselves in 70 AD when the siege of Jerusalem takes place.

10. In Exodus you have the death of the firstborn, in the gospels you have the resurrection of the firstborn. This also takes place again in 70 AD when the gospel is scattered to the four winds when Jerusalem is destroyed.

The Rocks shall cry out

Matthew 21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, 16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

Matthew has a specific agenda to the Jews. They consider Christians to be children, babes and sucklings. It is not the rabbis who are crying out, it is not the elders of Jerusalem, it is the Christians, the children, the babes and sucklings.

In Mark there is no mention of the rabbis being upset and complaining. Mark has the specific agenda to the tribulation saints. They were the ones who were sleeping, they weren't watching, and so when Jesus came they were not crying out. They saw this, they saw the ones, but they were not with Jesus when the rabbis were complaining to Him.

Luke 19:37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

Luke is written to the Bride that will be taken. They are crying out that the king is coming. However, many Christians are holding their peace. Just two days ago we heard the rocks cry out with a 8.8 earthquake and global Tsunami warning.

God is in control

When man sinned he was immediately thrust out of the garden of Eden. However, it was not until we get to Noah that God says man's life will be 120 years. Why the delay?

Genesis 6:3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Imagine you are the president (this represents God in this analogy) and your minister is now alledged to have committed a serious crime that will compromise him with your enemy. The first thing you do is suspend him. He still has the presumption of innocence, but you must remove him from the Whitehouse until after an investigation and trial can take place. This investigation involves ten generations, a complete and thorough investigation. But by the time we get to Noah man's thoughts are on the flesh and on violence continually.

Genesis 6:5 5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

The evidence is clear, man is one with Satan in his flesh. So then God proclaims the judgment. The flood at Noah's time is part of that judgment. However, man's life being limited to 120 years is also part of that judgment. Now you include "time served". The crime took place at the fall of man so this time frame of "120 years" which I understand in the heavenly court means 120x50=6000 years. God is the judge and His judgment was that man would be a slave to sin for this period of time.

However, when Jesus redeemed us He paid the price for sin. Therefore if you receive Jesus redemption you can be freed sooner. If you reject that then you will held for the full six thousand years at which point you will have to appear again before the Judge. He will decide if your name is to be written in the book of life or not.

So then it is sin that opens the door for all the curses on this earth and it is Jesus who is the one who can redeem us from all the curses. You cannot redeem yourself because your blood is corrupt, it is sinful, and we need a lamb without blemish.

However, and this is the great failing of those pushing "Once Saved Always Saved". Just like there was a thorough investigation of man before God's judgment at the time of Noah there will also be a thorough investigation of man prior to the day of judgment. You say you believe in Jesus Christ, OK God will examine if that is true. You say His blood has paid the price for your sin so that you could be forgiven, that it was grace, all of Him and nothing of you. OK, well do you treat those who sin against you the same way? Or do you still have bitterness in your heart? Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Do you still have unforgiveness in your heart? Faith without works is dead. God will examine you, is your faith alive or dead? You say the Lord redeemed you out of the world, but if that is so, why do you love the world? You say you Love the Lord but He says if you love Him why don't you do the things that He tells you to do? For example, come out from among their midst and be separate? Or, if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:. According to "OSAS" there is no conditional "if, then" statement associated with forgiveness, but that is not what Jesus says. Yes, when you received Jesus He forgave you unconditionally, but now years later you are refusing to forgive those who trespass against you and so your faith which was alive is now dead.

No one knows the day and the hour but the father only

Matthew 24:36 "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father

He says that logically, if the Father knows the day and the hour it must be written in the Bible. However, Jesus is the incarnated word of God and this clearly says that the Son does not know the day or the hour. It also says the angels don't know and we know that they know the Bible very well.

Once again, I would point out that the Old Testament may have types and shadows of the rapture, but they were never clear as to when the rapture would be. Paul told us

Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

Yes, you can see resurrection in the feasts, but which one? Is it when Mordecai is honored? Is it Purim? Is it Passover? First Feast of First fruits? The 15th of AV? How about the day of Atonement since the rapture is a judgment? How about seven days beforehand since that is the day the Priest is taken into his chamber.

Ephesians 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

When Paul got the revelation that the church is the third temple that Jesus, the Messiah, is building, then how about the 9th of Av since that is the date the two previous temples were removed from the earth?

My point is that without the account of Pentecost in Acts 2 it is not written in the Bible and that took place after Jesus said no one knows. Prior to that event no one did know. Jesus and the angels would have known the year, and they knew it was coming, but which day and which hour? Yes, all the treasures of knowledge are hidden in the Bible.

Colossians 2:3 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

But we are told this after Jesus rose from the dead and after he opened the title deed to the earth and after

Ephesians 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

Paul wrote his epistles expounding on all these mysteries that were previously hidden.

Colossians 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

I think it is clear from the Gospels that the day and hour of the rapture is one of the mysteries of the Father. These mysteries are not clearly expounded till we get to the New Testament.

Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

We are told clearly that the holy days are a shadow of things to come. But it was still a mystery until Jesus opened the title deed to the Earth making Him Lord of all. At that time these mysteries were revealed through the ministry of the apostles, primarily Paul and John.

The 9th of Av

So then, let's consider the 9th of Av.

1. The Fall of Man -- According to rabbinical tradition the fall of man was on the 9th of Av, as a result we can expect that Satan's lease on man's flesh will also expire on this day. From Genesis 3:6 to Revelation 20:10 a major theme of the Bible is dealing with Satan, the enemy of God.

2. The evil report was given on this day -- I believe this was a shadow of the day that the Pharisees gave an official proclamation (an evil report) that Jesus was not the Messiah and that He was casting out demons by the prince of the demons, Beelzebub. Jesus responded that they had committed the unforgivable sin. They asked for a sign and He gave them the sign of Jonah. Part of that sign is Jonah going throughout the city (in this case Jerusalem) proclaiming that they needed to repent for in 40 days (in this case 40 years to the day) the city would be cast down. I believe this is also a shadow of what will happen to the apostasy at the time of the rapture.

3. Both temples were removed from the earth on this day -- I believe that is a shadow of the church being raptured and removed from the earth on this day.

4. This is the day that Moses broke the two tablets and called the Levites up to Him -- I think this is a shadow of when Jesus first returns. He will return to a very corrupt situation, call some up to Him, and then deal with the idolaters. Those who are raptured first become the levitical priesthood for eternity.

We have five pictures or shadows of a rapture taking place on this day. We see the judgment on the apostasy, and we see Moses a type of Christ returning from the mountain top the first time. That is a picture of the first rapture. Moses does not return all the way down but speaks to them from an elevated position and calls the Levites up to him. This is also pointing to the first rapture when Jesus will be in the clouds. We also know that the church is the temple of God, that the rapture will be when no stone will be left upon another, referring to the left behind being like a heap of rubble due to the apostasy.

5. The church age began with the Feast of New Wine -- Jesus said that He would not drink the wine again until He drank it new with us in heaven. This is a picture of the Galilean wedding. It is meaningful it took place on the same day that Moses broke the tablets and the same day the tablets were destroyed and the same day that the evil report was given. Jesus turns the water to wine, He turns the curse into a blessing. It is reasonable to think that the church age will end on the same day it began as that is our birthday. Hosea said it would be two days later (which we understand to be two thousand years). So if this was 32 AD we would expect the return and Armageddon to take place on this day in 2032.

6. Jesus tells those who are left behind to go to those who sell oil and buy -- The feast of new oil is fifty days after the feast of new wine. This fits the pattern of Jesus being baptized (the rapture) and those who are left behind being thrust out into the wilderness (after the manchild is caught up the woman flees into the wilderness), fasting and praying for forty days and nights, followed by the temptation of Satan, followed by Jesus beginning His ministry by proclaiming the jubilee on the Day of Atonement. Fifty days from the feast of New wine brings you to the Feast of trumpets which on a jubilee year is celebrated on the Day of Atonement.

7. The day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night -- there are only two days on the Jewish calendar that come as a thief in the night. Passover is when the firstborn died. And the ninth of Av is when the Israelites would die as they wandered in the wilderness. They would dig graves and sleep in them and in the morning many of them would be dead.

We have seven different ways to look at the ninth of Av that all point to it being the rapture. I would point out that three of these seven were not known until after Jesus died and rose from the dead. That is when we learned the church age would begin on Pentecost and after that we learned that the church is the temple of God. It is also when Paul told us it would come as a thief in the night.

The days of Noah

Matthew 24:7 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

This is only in Matthew and Luke, so this word applies to both the Jews and the rapture of the church. So then, let's look at the days of Noah.

Genesis 8:5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

The tenth month for Noah is the fourth month on the Hebrew calendar. This is right when Shavuot is. This is the day Jesus ascended to the throne in the heavens.

6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

This would be the ninth and tenth day of Av.

7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

The raven signifies Satan going to and fro over the face of the Earth. The antichrist will be revealed when the Holy Spirit steps aside and stop restraining him, we understand that to be when the rapture takes place.

8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

This is the rapture. There is no place for the Holy Spirit however, the Holy Spirit does return and we see sending out the Holy Spirit and then the Holy Spirit returning to the safety of the ark for seven days as a picture of the rapture and the saints being kept safe for seven years.

Feast of Weeks

Deuteronomy 7:11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.

One of these statutes is to offer the firstfruits of our harvest to God

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: 13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

That includes the firstfruit of corn (wheat), wine (grapes) and oil (olives). According to the harvest schedule in Israel these are about fifty days apart.

Deuteronomy 16:10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the Lord thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the Lord thy God, according as the Lord thy God hath blessed thee:

It is a statute to bring a freewill offering of your harvest as first fruits for God to bless. Yes, He gives specific explanation of the first fruit of barley and the firstfruit of wheat. But if you have a vineyard you are still to offer the first fruits of your vineyard and likewise if you have an olive orchard. These are not feasts of the Lord because it is up to us to bring the wine and the oil. Jesus was the grain of wheat that went into the ground and died that He might bring forth many grains. He was the first first fruit, the firstborn from the dead. So He was the celebration of the first firstfruit and His ascension put Him on the throne as the firstborn. But now it is time for everyone else to bring an offering.
 
Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word

Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

To think that you will be saved because of your works is arrogant.

2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

On the other hand to justify those who are not poor and of a contrite spirit, those who do not tremble at the Lord's word because twenty years ago they said some prayer is also arrogant.

3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

For the Jews to reject Jesus as the Messiah and start offering up oxen and lambs again, it will certainly be ugly. For the last two thousand years to have animal sacrifices is something we have associated with Pagan idolatry.

4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

What is AI but a delusion. What is Greta Thurnberg but delusional. Imagine the same people telling you that you can't use power because you are destroying the planet building huge power plants to power AI. God doesn't simply allow this, He choose this as the fitting rebuke to those who rejected Jesus Christ as Messiah.

5 Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

Yes, the idea that all Christians will be raptured before the tribulation is simply not scriptural.

6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord that rendereth recompence to his enemies.
 
2 Corinthians 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

The watchmen have a ministry and we have seen all these things. There have been those who have fainted, there are those are dishonest when speaking about the Lord's return, there are those who walk in craftiness, there are those who handle the word deceitfully. But the goal of this ministry should be to manifest the truth.

We should not have an agenda other than to manifest the truth.

Therefore receive mercy, renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, walk in the light not in craftiness, cut straight the word of God in contrast to those who handle the word deceitfully, and listen to your conscience knowing that God is watching.

13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

Remember Lot's Wife

There are a lot of signs and a lot of prophecies about the end days, but this is the only one that Jesus specifically told us to remember.

We know that some of the people in Lot's family did not follow him. His two son's in law thought it was a joke. Therefore they might have had other daughters who were married that didn't follow him. Also, Lot's wife might have had brothers and sisters, a mother and father, even nieces and nephews. The thought is that it is her close family and friends that she was turning back in regret to look at.

Because of that some equate this warning to the Lord's word that we must love Him over all others, or else we are not worthy of him.

But I was thinking, the warning is not about "not remembering your close family and friends". After all, when Abraham heard about Sodom being slated to be destroyed he remembered Lot and prayed for him. He wasn't turned into a pillar of salt for that. When Sodom was taken captive by the five kings Abraham fought a battle to save Lot, he wasn't turned into a pillar of salt for that. So I don't think the Lord has any issue with us praying for others and fighting a battle to save others.

No, I think the warning is that now is the time, don't wait. Lot worked in the gate of Sodom, that is a prestigious position. He had a house, he had a good job, he had a number of children, at least two of whom were married or engaged to be married. But what he didn't have was a gospel ministry for Sodom. His testimony was that he was a righteous man, but there was no testimony of the altar and the tent (Abraham), there was no testimony of being a preacher of righteousness (Noah).

Many think that when everyone sees all these prophecies come true, then I'll share. You can't wait until then, you will seem as a joke. If at the end of the Patriots superbowl with the Falcons you tell you "I knew they would win" then you seem like a joke. No, the time to tell me you know they'll win is when they are losing 28-3. I'll laugh at you then, but I won't be laughing at the end of the game.

2 Corinthians 5:9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

Nothing could be clearer. He is not saying that we are laboring to be saved. Nope, nothing we can do can cleanse us from our sins. Rather we are laboring so that we might be accepted of Him. Did the ones pushing "once saved always saved" tell you that? Do you really think that some prayer 20 years ago is like a golden ticket so that you will always be accepted of Him?

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.

Yes, "we must all appear". Being washed by the blood of Jesus 20 years ago does not exclude you from needing to appear. You are not going to be judged for any sins done that were washed away in the blood of Jesus. But know this, you need to bring forth fruit worthy of repentance. We confess our sins, we receive the blood of Jesus to wash us from the sins, and we must repent from those sins. You cannot say "Oh sorry Lord, I stole this car" and leave it at that. You have to return the car. Now if you stole the car, went for a joy ride, returned it, no one ever knew, and they you were convicted in your spirit that repentance might be enough. But if you stole someones car and it was never returned, well you owe that guy a car. According to the law you need to pay him double. If you stole a used pinto he now gets a new civic. Suppose you were a thief for years, you have no way of knowing who to pay back. OK, now you work in a soup kitchen or some other charity, this is "fruit worthy of repentance for being a thief".

Does Jesus blood wash away sins eternally? Yes. That is the part that OSAS gets right. Do we labor in our ministry so that we might be accepted of the Lord? Yes, that is the part that OSAS either gets wrong or ignores. They condemn "works salvation" so much that many may confuse that with laboring to be accepted of Him. They are very good at telling you that your works cannot save you from sin without telling you that every one of us will have to appear before the judgment seat of Christ to receive the things done in this body, whether it be good or bad. Think of going to hell as being given the death sentence in a court of law. There are thousand other judgments you can get besides the death penalty. The blood of Jesus saves us from the death penalty. In fact if you are diligent every day to repent of sins, confessing them to the Lord, then the blood of Jesus can erase every negative judgment. But what about good judgments? Winning a gold medal at the Olympics is a "good judgment".

14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

If you have died to the world and to self and to sin, then you would be living unto the Lord.

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Jesus was in the tomb on the Sabbath day, for the entire 24 hours. That is the fulfillment of the Sabbath rest. We have died with Christ. Jesus rose from the dead on the 8th day, the day of new beginnings, the day of the new creation. In Christ, in resurrection we can labor with Him.

Wow, there was a ten day delay from the order to drop the bomb on Hiroshima and the dropping of the bomb.

The order to drop the bomb was given on the same day of the month of Av and Trump giving Russia a ten day notice was also on the same day of Av. The actual order was to wait seven days before dropping it and then they had to wait three more days for clear skies. In both cases it came to the 15th of Av which is a very clear picture of the rapture (the dead in Christ rising first and the end of the curse, marking the time to enter the good land).
 
Has anyone noticed that the emergency alert sent out by the government to your phone sounds like a trumpet blast with the electronic trills.
