Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

Ephesians 2:5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), 6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus

Let's look at this through the lens of the rapture. We were made alive after the resurrection of Jesus. So then when will we be caught up with Him and made to sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus? That sounds like the ascension

Ephesians 2:5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), 6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus

Let's look at this through the lens of the rapture. We were made alive after the resurrection of Jesus. So then when will we be caught up with Him and made to sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus? That sounds like the ascension

Gill said this: and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Christ is entered into heaven as the forerunner, to take possession of it for his people, in their name; and to prepare mansions of glory for them, and in these they sit; which imports honour, pleasure, rest from labour and weariness, and safety and security: and what adds to the happiness of this is, that it is together with all the saints, and with Christ himself; and in these they are made to sit already; which is so said, because of the certainty of it, for the same glory Christ has, they shall have; and because of their right to such a blessing; and chiefly because Christ their head is set down therein, who sustains their persons, bears their names on his heart, and represents them.

While the Bride is still on the Earth

Exodus 10:21 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy 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; 23 they saw not one another, neither rose any one from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

This Jesus will come in the same way as you saw him go

John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

Acts 1:11 And said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”

Jesus coming again and taking us to Himself is our rapture. It will be in the same way as when He ascended to the heavens.

How to cause backsliders to repent

57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live because of me. 58 This is the bread which came down out of heaven: not as the fathers ate, and died; he that eateth this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it? 61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble? 62 What then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before?

Seeing the ascension is what will cause the back sliders to repent.

 

[ZNP]

The rapture is when we are taken up in glory

1Timothy 3:16 Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

taken up in glory is a reference to Jesus ascension and to our rapture.

Romans 2:1-16 -- God will repay each person according to what they have done

1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

This is the age of grace, the age in which we are witnesses of the Lord’s grace. The gospel we preach is very much focused on sin and righteousness, however, we are not the judge nor are we to judge. We are witnesses. Please note, “passing judgement on someone else” is not the same thing as witnessing concerning sin and righteousness. It is very important to stay balanced. Some Christians will become self righteous judges of others, the “holier than thou” crowd. Others will go to the other extreme refusing to condemn sin and will join the “everything goes” crowd.

2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.

The New Testament is very clear that God judges sin. The crucifixion is evidence of God’s judgement on sin. The gospel is that although the crucifixion represents the price that must be paid for sin the Lord has already paid that price for anyone willing to receive it. For those of us who have received the Lord’s redeeming work we are crucified with Christ and it is no longer us that lives but Christ lives in us. This is the good news of grace.

3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?

This is even worse. When you judge others you usurp God’s position as the judge, that is rebellion, and not only so but your judgement is hypocritical since you do the same thing. So then how will you escape this judgement? With the same judgement you judge you will be judged. This is why the gospel of grace also talks of mercy. Judge others with mercy and then you too will receive mercy when God judges you.

4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

These ones who teach that everything goes, there is no hell, and we are not here to judge sin, this is to show contempt for the word of God. We are witnesses, that includes witnessing to God’s grace, God’s mercy, but also God’s righteousness and judgment. The gospel is to lead us to repent of sin, not ignore it, not cover our eyes to it, not to pretend it doesn’t exist.

5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.

That is a scary picture: “Storing up wrath”. Instead of repenting many hide or “cover up” their sins. Paul says to “cover up” sins is likened to someone with a storage cellar. they didn’t deal with it, they merely stored it away for a later day. On judgment day God will open up that cellar and you will be judged for every skeleton in there.

6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”

Yes, this is the New Testament, this is the fellowship of the apostles. The same book that teaches that we have been forgiven of all our sins teaches that “God will repay each person according to what they have done”. How do we reconcile these two? If you are in Christ, then you will be repaid according to what Christ has done, if you are in your self you will be repaid according to what you have done. How do I enter into Christ? I confess my sins and I repent. For example, let's say you robbed a bank and got away with it. You now need to go to the authorities and confess and pay the price which could include returning the money and going to jail. Confessing a sin that you had “gotten away with” demonstrates remorse, so even if you killed a person a judge will usually use evidence of remorse to avoid the death penalty.

7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.

We have two different groups here. Just like the parable of wheat and tares. The two are growing together. Just because Paul does not judge those who are self seeking, those who reject the truth and follow evil, it doesn’t mean he isn’t aware of what they are doing. He was following evil until he met the Lord and then he had a 180 degree turn and sought glory, honor and eternal life. We know that there are satanists, but our gospel of the glory of the eternal God is more powerful than anything they have. The big prize right now is to have someone caught by Satan confess, repent and seek God’s kingdom and His righteousness. At some point in the near future God will judge, but prior to that the best thing that can happen is people repent and come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11 For God does not show favoritism.

Favoritism, racism is one form of favoritism. Religious extremism is another form of favoritism. The satanic worldly system is built on favoritism. Secret societies, the KKK, all these evil organizations are built on favoritism. That is why they have secret handshakes, pins, and symbols. They can signal to someone they are a member of this secret society and then people will show them favoritism and they get the job, they get promoted. This is how the deep state works. The gospel of glory is different, the word touches your spirit and operates from within. We do not have to operate in secret, in the dark, rather we can walk in the light.

12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

This is the New Testament. God writes His laws on our heart. Yes, people have secrets, but the day will come when God will judge people’s secrets. People assume if you have a secret it must be something wicked. Seeking glory, honor and eternal life can also be the secret of your heart. During Jesus’ ministry He had a secret, He was the Son of God yet He forbid the demons from sharing this secret. He healed people but often wanted that to be kept secret as well.

Discerning False teachers

https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/7-traits-of-false-teachers/

1. Invented stories -- 2Peter 1:16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

Is the Bible teacher an eyewitness (listen to the link 4672, he shares some eyewitness accounts) or are they giving you cleverly devised stories?

2. Goal is to make merchandise of you -- 2Peter 2:3 And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.

There are two sides to this. The bible and the New Testament says "you shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the corn". So letting the minister have his needs met while he serves as a minister is fine, on the other hand you can be sure all the false teachers will have "making merchandise of you" as a key goal. If the purpose of their ministry is to sell their books, tapes, videos, trainings, then be on guard. The prime example of course is the prosperity gospel with their gold chains, luxury cars, mansions, and private airplanes.

3. Different Message—2Peter 2:1 But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction

This is what you have to break down. Anyone who is truly a false prophet will be moved by this goal, there are others who are in error but that is something that the Lord will adjust. False teachers are not someone who has a different interpretation of some verse, a false teacher is secretly bringing in destructive heresies. A heresy is a school of thought. It divides the church, the body of Christ. Paul said don't let head covering divide the church. If you are so legalistic about a doctrine like head covering or music that it divides the church, that is destructive. So then dividing the church over things that are not items of the faith would be destructive. However, there are even worse doctrines that deny the Lord Jesus. Recently I saw a publication by the Watchtower, an organization that is affiliated with FreeMasons and who are notorious for denying the Master that bought us. This "book" was all about Jesus, every page talked about Jesus. Think about Islam, it teaches that Jesus was a great prophet. They don't deny that Jesus was a great prophet or man of God, they deny that His death redeemed us from sin. Anyone who teaches that you need Jesus and something else, that is a false teacher.

4. Different Position—In what position will the message leave you?

The true Christian “escapes the corruption in the world caused by evil desires” (2Peter 1:4). Listen to how Peter describes the counterfeit Christian: “They promise . . . freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity, for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him” (2 Peter 2:19). The true believer is escaping corruption, while the counterfeit believer is mastered by it.

5. Different Character—What kind of people does the message produce?

The true believer pursues goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brother kindness, and love (1:5). The counterfeit Christian is marked by arrogance and slander (2:10). They are “experts in greed” and “their eyes are full of adultery” (2:14). They also “despise authority” (2:10). This is a general characteristic of a counterfeit believer.

6. Different Appeal—Why should you listen to the message?

The true teacher appeals to Scripture. “We have the word of the prophets made more certain and you will do well to pay attention to it” (1:19). God has spoken, and the true teacher appeals to his Word. The false teacher makes a rather different appeal: “By appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error” (2:18). So the true teacher asks, “What has God said in his Word?” The false teacher asks, “What do people want to hear? What will appeal to their flesh?”

7. Different Fruit—What result does the message have in people’s lives?

The true believer is effective and productive in his or her knowledge of Jesus Christ (1:8). The counterfeit is “like a spring without water” (2:17). This is an extraordinary picture! They promise much but produce little.

7. Different End—Where does the message ultimately lead you?

Here we find the most disturbing contrast of all. The true believer will receive “a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1:11). The false believer will experience “swift destruction” (2:1). “Their condemnation has long been hanging over them and their destruction has not been sleeping” (2:3).

Jesus tells us that there will be many who have been involved in ministry in his name, to whom he will say, “Depart from me; I never knew you” (Matthew 7:21). Who are these people? Surely Peter is describing them in this passage.

I keep my word and I will be faithful to keep my word with regards to the blessing and the curse

 

[ZNP]

I keep my word and I will be faithful to keep my word with regards to the blessing and the curse

There are several indications that this dream is talking about what is about to happen and it is the rapture followed by judgement.

Rapture --

1. We see fields that have just been harvested

2. We see that they can't breathe -- the Holy Spirit is the breath, it has been taken away

3. The word is no longer to brace yourself, rather it is too late to do that.

4. The Lord says He will keep His word concerning the blessings and the curses. This is a vivid display of the curses that are to come on the US after the rapture, therefore we can infer that the promise of His coming is also being kept.

5. The stone is not a millstone, rather it looks like a stone that was found by archaeologists who found Noah's ark. If the stone from Noah's ark has been cut what does that mean? It is the flood of destruction that was promised.

 

[ZNP]

It's too late to start

let's consider what that means.

1. It is too late to warn people about Covid19 being a bioweapon, Steve Bannon did that in January of 2020, was ridiculed as a conspiracy nut, but now we know he was right.

2. It is too late to warn people about the Vaccine. People have been doing that since it was mandated. But now Naomi Wolf has already released "The Body of Others" and Kennedy has released his book "The Real Anthony Fauci" so at this point it is too late.

3. It is too late to warn about election fraud. Between Mike Lindell's Absolute Proof, Rigged, and 2,000 Mules everyone has already seen all the evidence.

4. It is too late to argue that Clinton was behind the Steele Dossier, Durham has already released that information through the courts.

When this dream is fulfilled it will be too late to warn people about the rapture and the coming tribulation. Everyone will be able to see it. They will be saying you should have said something before.

 

[ZNP]

The braced are about to be tested harshly

Sherri Goff was afraid to say this was the tribulation, but I think the dream is very clear that it is.

1. The wheat has already been reaped, that is the rapture.

2. The restrainer has stepped out of the way, the restrainer was the one that was holding the rope on that stone.

3. That is not a millstone even though it is like a millstone and thus a fulfillment of the Lord's word in Matthew 18. That stone was used as ballast on the side of Noah's ark. Hence this is a picture of the flood (ie the tribulation).

4. The rider on the white horse is the first seal being opened when the Antichrist rides out, so we are reminded of this but in this case it is Jesus, who is the word of God, faithful and true. These are two symbols of the tribulation time.

5. The US is the great Babylon, so this dream reminds us of Revelation 18 and the destruction of the materialistic Babylon, the global stock exchange.

So then, who are the braced? They are the ones who took the warnings from Dana Coverstone's dreams seriously or of any other watchman. However, they are also the left behind. What does that mean?

1Timothy 3:16
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness;

He who was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the spirit,
Seen of angels,
Preached among the nations,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.

You need to experience the complete mystery of Godliness. Jesus needs to be manifested in you. You need to be justifed in the spirit, not in the flesh, not by man. You need to be seen of angels when no one else is watching, worshipping the Lord. What are you doing when no one else can see you? You need to preach Jesus among the nations. Noah was a "preacher of righteousness". You need to bring people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Only then can you be received up into glory.

I like this dream, he sees a field that looks like it was harvested by a giant combine, these huge machines that can do so much. But then later he sees people running to the fields to harvest them with sickles, no longer do they have the big giant combines. The internet is like a giant combine. In just the last 24 hours I have had over 400 people visit this blog for the first time. If I talk to 400 people about the gospel in a week, even in two weeks I think that is a lot. The internet is like one of these big giant combines, but during the tribulation you won't have that. Rather it will be each person with a sickle. Still you will have a great harvest, a great revival.

So the warning to me is that "the braced" are those who have clearly received Jesus as savior, they have heeded the warnings, but they really have not dived deeply into the word of God or into the mystery of Godliness. The tribulation will help them do that, the fields will be white, ready to harvest. When people think they are about to die their face will drain of blood and they will "turn white". At that time they are ready to be harvested. Ready to obey the Lord's word. Ready to confess and repent of their sins.

The rope is around the coastline, that is where the judgement will be the harshest, whereas the revival will be in the midwest, the heart of the nation. That is where the harvest and revival will be.

 

[ZNP]

Everyday I was looking for this dream

Shavuot is this Lord's day. Shavuot is the feast where everyone must appear before the Lord and they cannot appear empty handed (need a full vessel of oil). Shavuot is the only feast where it will always be on the Lord's day, the eighth day. Shavuot is called the feast of firstfruits for the wheat harvest. It depicts the rapture of the church prior to the tribulation.

Because it was so near I anticipated that the Lord would speak a word through Dana Coverstone and this is that word. At this point it is too late to warn people to brace themselves. Either they have heeded the warnings or they haven't. Instead now is the time to "lock in". That is like saying the spaceship is going to take off, fasten your seat belt.

If we were in a castle that was about to be besieged, brace yourself would be to get ready. Sharpen your sword, collect your arrows. If you throw rocks or boiling oil from wall then make sure you have all you need. Brace the walls, brace the gates, get ready. But lock in, that means everyone to your battlestations. It is too late to get any more rocks, the enemy is already outside the gate. It is too late to worry about sharpening your sword or gathering arrows.

We have had other words that have warned of suitcase nukes in Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Atlantal, Orlando, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Seatle, Valdez, Denver, Chicago, and Detroit. If you look at these cities on a map they look like this rope we see surrounding the US. Imagine what happens to the world's economy if at the same time suitcase nukes went off in all these cities?

The rapture is called "harpazo" to be snatched out of the way of certain death. The rapture takes place prior to this attack.



Look at this picture, it depicts the Holy Spirit restraining Armageddon. Restraining the forces of the AntiChrist.

June 4th is the Anniversary of this day -- The Holy Spirit is restraining Satan
June 5th is Shavuot -- The Holy Spirit is taken out of the way
June 6th is the anniversary of D day -- All the evil forces invade and hit the beaches of the US.

Romans 2:17-29 Storing up praise from God

17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God; 18 if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; 19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— 21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

Do not misread what Paul is saying. He is not saying that we should not boast in God, or that we shouldn’t know His will, or that being instructed in the Law is a superior education. He is not denying that the church is to be a light in the dark. What he is saying is that every word needs to be internalized. We need to live what we teach and what we preach.

25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.

Circumcision is like a wedding ring, it signifies you have a covenant. If you live according to that covenant then the wedding ring has value, but if you do not live according to your wedding vows then the ring is something of ridicule and scorn.

26 So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?

Suppose you have two women, one has a wedding ring but is a prostitute, the other does not have a wedding ring but is faithful and true. People will have much greater respect for the woman that lives according to the wedding vows even though she doesn’t have a ring than the woman who has a ring but doesn’t honor her vows.

27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker. 28 A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.

These words must be written on our heart. When God reveals the secrets of our heart this is what must be stored there.
