Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

The rapture -- God gathers His saints together

Psalm 50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

So then who are the saints? Are they the ones who made a covenant by being justified? When you make a covenant with someone it is made by a sacrifice. If I buy a car, then the car company gives me a car, that is their sacrifice, and I give them money, that is my sacrifice. The contract that gives me the title to the car is the covenant.

Jesus gave his life, He poured out His blood, that is His sacrifice. What is your sacrifice? Paul says we are to present our bodies as a living sacrifice. When you received Jesus blood that was the first half of you making a covenant with God.

Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

You were justified, you were redeemed. But you hadn't made a covenant until you offered up your body as a living sacrifice. That is the meaning of being baptized. You are choosing to be immersed into the triune God and to leave the world behind.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

We need to offer the sacrifice of faith. For example:

Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

There are sacrifices that God is not well pleased with. In both Pergamum and Thyatira they taught the believers to eat things sacrificed to idols. Your job can be an idol, making money can be an idol, anything that takes the place of God as our supply, our entertainment and our protection is an idol.

A Typological Case for the Rapture Connection to Hanukkah 2025 - December 14-22

I have said this before and I will repeat it. I am not the arbiter of truth. This is a Biblically based interpretation of the Bible, it is relevant to the topic of the rapture and it is unique to this blog. That is all that is required for me to post this.

However, I disagree with this interpretation but it does provide very good information so I encourage everyone to watch it.

1. Yes, Enoch represents the saints raptured before the tribulation and yes, Hanukah is based on the name of Enoch, it is the root.

However, after the church in Philadelphia is raptured it says that the synagogue will know that Jesus loved them and will confess that Jesus was truly with them. If we call those who are raptured "Enoch" you can see why the left behind tribulation saints would also pattern themselves after Enoch. The name Enoch means "dedicated" or "consecrated" and Hanukah tells the story of a group of saints going through the tribulation with a Antichrist like figure, they rededicate themselves.

The story begins, just like the tribulation saints, with them fleeing to the mountains.

The story describes them going through a famine, where they only have oil for one day but it lasts for eight days, just like the miraculous support that the tribulation saints will get.

Yes, you can therefore see many parallels with the life and experience of those raptured before the tribulation. The big problem for me is that we are told the seven year tribulation is 2,520 days and it is divided precisely in half with the ministry of the two witnesses being 1,260 days and the time that the woman is in the wilderness is also 1,260 days. I believe the mid point will be Passover. When the Jews look on Him whom they pierced and weep it will be immediately after that and then they will celebrate 2nd Passover as described in the OT with Hezekiah. This then concludes with the Feast of Tabernacles (the wedding of the Lord).

The Feast of Tabernacles is September 19th through September 26th of 2032. That would mean that the tribulation would start anywhere from October 26th, to November 2nd. Yes there is a lot of wiggle room, but Hanukah doesn't fit with that. Also, Passover is March 30, 2029 to April 7, 2029 (feast of unleavened bread). Go back 1,260 days and you get October 17th through October 24th. If we use the Julian calendar which is what they used when Jesus was crucified we get October 30th through November 7th on the Gregorian calendar. Again, we have wiggle room, but not enough to include Hanukah.

In my opinion these numbers are useful in checking any dates that are predicted.

Also, it is very reasonable to suggest that the Great tribulation begins on April 13th, 2029 when Apophis has its closest pass to Earth. That would be Passover on the Julian calendar. Go back 1,260 days from that day and you come to October 31st. Since we know that the rapture coincides with the three days of darkness (just like Jesus' crucifixion was followed immediately by a three day tour of Hades), this would mean that Halloween, All Saints Day and the Day of the dead would coincide with the three days of darkness.

Halloween begins at sunset, just as Jesus died right before sunset. This year it is on Friday, just like Jesus was crucified on Friday. Also, just like Jesus cried "My God, my God, why have you forsaken Me" that will also be the cry of those Christians who are left behind. Halloween is a harvest festival and that coincides with Jeremiah which says the harvest is past and we are not saved.

Amos 8:2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.

This is a reference to the rapture. It is a play on words in Hebrew.

3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.

This describes the three days of darkness.

4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat? 7 The Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

This is a reference to why they are judged and left behind.

8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

This tells us that the attack on October 7, 2023 was a foretaste of what this day will be like for the left behind saints.

9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:

Another very clear reference to the rapture as well as to Jesus' crucifixion.

10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

What are "our songs"? What is "our feasts"? Thanksgiving is "our feast" and "Christmas" is our feast as well as all the songs associated with Christmas are "our songs". All Christians know that Jesus was not actually born on December 25th, but they choose to celebrate this anyway, hence this is not a feast of the Lord mentioned in the Bible, it is a Feast of the apostate church. The Christmas songs for the most part are not the Lord's songs, they are the songs of the apostate church. Granted there are a few beautiful hymns of the Lord that are His songs, but they are not the songs that are played on the radio.

How to cut down on trolls

Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

This does not mean we should not have discernment.

The word means:

1. to judge
   1. to pronounce an opinion concerning right and wrong
      1. to be judged, i.e. summoned to trial that one's case may be examined and judgment passed upon it
   2. to pronounce judgment, to subject to censure
      1. of those who act the part of judges or arbiters in matters of common life, or pass judgment on the deeds and words of others
2. to rule, govern
   1. to preside over with the power of giving judicial decisions, because it was the prerogative of kings and rulers to pass judgment
3. to contend together, of warriors and combatants
   1. to dispute
   2. in a forensic sense
      1. to go to law, have suit at law

Sometimes we have to judge, we have to choose. Jesus asked Simon who would love him more and he said the one who he forgave the most. Jesus told him he had rightly judged. This is the same word used in Romans 2 saying "whoever judges another condemns himself". It is also the word that Paul uses in 1 Corinthians when he says "therefore judge nothing before the time". However, in chapter 5 Paul rebukes the Corinthians for not judging the unrighteous man in their midst. The point of this verse is not that we are not to judge, sometimes choosing not to judge is also a judgment. The point is that we need to realize whenever we do make a judgment we will be judged by that same measure. What we should do is have our head covered, meaning we let the Bible judge. In Romans 2 we understand that all have sinned, and Jesus' blood can wash all clean of their sins. In that case the self righteous are judging that some sinners are worse than other sinners, they will come up with a justification for that, but Paul is saying whenever we point fingers at someone else there will also be fingers pointing at us. If you condemn someone for certain sins you also will be condemned for certain sins. Instead we should point all sinners to the work of redemption that Jesus did on the cross. On one hand the people in the world are living in sin, on the other hand the people in the church should be those who are washed from their sins and have repented of them. They may stumble, but they should not be living in sin. The apostasy thinks they are being inclusive and showing love, what they are really doing is acting like a wife whose head is not covered by her husband. They are in rebellion with the word of God and so that judgment that they can ignore the word of God will result in them being judged.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Jesus is not denying that there is a mote in your brother's eye. What He is telling us is that if we see this, it should cause us to examine ourself. For example, I could not believe they were having a "stop the steal" rally in Washington DC. It seemed absurd to me, but I thought I should examine this first, maybe they know something I don't, maybe I'm the one who has a beam in my eye. I went to Washington DC, a four hour drive, and attended this rally. I talked to people who had escaped from a totalitarian regime or a communist country and they talked to me about how what they saw in their country is what they are seeing now in our country which is why they were there. I talked to people of all races. I discovered that the story I was hearing on the news was very far from what was actually the case. Instead of jumping to the conclusion that these are a bunch of trailer trash bigots which is the way they were being portrayed on the media, I discovered they were thoughtful, intelligent, and concerned for the country.

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Think of all the people who tried to correct us about the vaccine. They accused us of being "anti science" and "anti vax" when in fact we were simply "anti liars" and "anti fraud". They wanted to pull the mote out of our eye when in fact the beam was in their eye.

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Some said the vaccine was the mark of the beast, that was not true. Some said it was "a kill shot" that also was not true. Now there is evidence that your life expectancy drops with every shot you got, so there is something of a gray area there. But when you say "kill shot" people feel that they have debunked this simply because they didn't die when they got the shot. Those accusations were unproven, but what was proven was that they were lying about the vaccine and they were imposing it on others illegally. I found no one challenged me on those two points whereas they would attack anyone saying it was the MOB or a "kill shot". Don't make claims you can't prove and you will not have to deal with trolls.

Step 1 of ministry -- you must deal with your sin and flesh.
Step 2 -- you must pray.


6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Dogs and swine in this verse refer to people. If you don't understand it that way it makes no sense. However, if you interpret this as referring to other people, then that means you are judging that someone is a dog or a swine. If you do that you also will be judged with the same judgment that you are a dog or a swine. So then there is only one possible way to understand this verse in light of the context of this verse. Jesus is saying don't let your dog nature or swine nature get a hold of the holy things of God or your treasures. Judge not lest you be judged has no power if we are judging ourselves. "Don't judge yourself because with what judgment you judge yourself you shall be judged" just doesn't carry any warning. The Lord is not prohibiting judging your own sins, your own flesh, your own failings. If you are living in sin, if you are living in your "dog nature" or your "swine nature" and you think that you can teach and speak the word of God you are mistaken. Think of these ones who got caught in adultery or in tax fraud, etc. The world is filled with dogs and swine who will love to trample your ministry and rend you. On the one hand these preachers and tele evangelists and pastors who were caught in sin are for the most part not any different from the sinners in the world. But they still make the front page of the scandal rags, the sinners love to rip them apart for their hypocrisy.

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Step one we must confess and repent of our sins. Believe in the Lord and be baptized. Baptism signifies we are leaving the world and will immerse ourselves into the triune God. You can't minister and preach the word while still living as the Egyptians do. However, step 2 is to simply pray.

Shortly after I was first baptized I was meeting in a church and they were going to have the young college kids give the message. I was in college and I was given a short part of the message to prepare. We each had about five minutes to share and we had one week to prepare. So the first thing I did was to go home, take out the portion I was to share and I prayed over it. I read the passage to the Lord and I asked him very specifically to make this real to me and to give me an experience that week which would help everyone to enter into this portion. I prayed thoroughly for this until I got to the point feeling, that is it, now I know the Lord will do his part and next week I can share my experience. Saturday night I open this portion back up to prepare for the next day and I pray "Lord, why didn't you answer my prayer?" I felt I had not had any earth shattering experience to share. The Lord responded "I did". I was shocked, "when, where"? I started to examine the week and one little tiny experience kept bothering me like a little blinking light. But it didn't seem to have anything to do with the verses. But I decided this must be the experience the Lord is talking about so I prayed that He would open my eyes to understand. When He did open my eyes it blew me away. It showed how present and available the Lord is to us in our daily life. So I shared that experience the next day to illustrate the passage I was responsible for.

From that day on it helped me tremendously to realize all I need to do is ask, the Lord will answer, then seek to find that answer and then knock to have the Lord open the word up to me based on the experience He gave me.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

Often the word seemed like stone, impossible to open. But you pray, you get an experience, and all of a sudden that stone becomes bread.

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

Many times we get an experience and it seems like we got a serpent. But don't think that way, realize the Lord is giving you a fish, not a serpent. Some of the best experiences are those where that thing that looked like a serpent turns out to be a fish. Think about Tom Brady, leading the team to 9 Super bowls and then being made into a second string quarterback. He feels like he is forced out of the team and goes to play for Tampa Bay which had the absolutely worst record in football over the course of the years they had been a team in the NFL. This looks like God is giving him a serpent, but a year later that serpent is a fish. They win the Super bowl and from that point on there was no question as to Tom Brady's legacy. He had seven rings, more than any team in the NFL and more than any player. It looked like God gave him a serpent but it turned out that God gave him a fish.

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Most of us have never asked God to give us a victory in the Super Bowl, but we have other dreams and aspirations. Think of David Tyree, he was a special teams player for the NY Giants. He was caught by the police with drugs. The coach could have cut him but had mercy on him. When the Giants got to the Superbowl he prayed the God would give him hind's feet and hands of glue. He caught one of the touchdown passes, fulfilling the prayer for hind's feet. Then he made what is considered one of the all time great catches in the history of the NFL, it was called the "helmet catch" and that fulfilled the prayer for hands of glue.

We are coworkers with the Lord

Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

When I refused to get the vaccine I wanted men to ask me why? Then I wanted them to realize "he has a point, this is being done illegally" and then I wanted them to changer their behavior so that it was done legally. (According to international law in order for an experimental vaccine to be mandated there can't be effective therapies. Since HCQ and Ivermectin were effective therapies I wanted them to admit that and stop mandating the vaccine).

So then when someone else is doing something that I think is unreasonable, instead of judging and condemning them I should ask them why? I should hear them out and if they have made some valid points I should adjust my behavior accordingly.

But this also applies to the Lord. In a ministry we are coworkers together with the Lord. As a coworker I want to be kept in the loop, the same goes with the Lord. He wants you to bring everything to Him in prayer. As a coworker I expect my coworker to do part of the work. This works both ways. Jesus expects us to leave the world and immerse ourselves into the triune God. If you do that then He in turn will see that you receive whatever you ask for, He will help you find whatever you are seeking for, and He will open up anything that is closed to you.

As a child my parents never starved me, they gave me plenty of good food. This is how I expect God to treat me and how I should treat others in my ministry. They also gave me good gifts and this is how I expect God to treat me and how I should treat others in my ministry.

Take the restricted way

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

There are two ways you can take, a restricted way that is difficult, with few others taking this way, or the broad way which is easier, the way most people take, and it leads to destruction.

When I was first saved the church I met at had testimonies at the end of the message. The easy way to give a testimony and the way most people took was to use the ministry of the "apostle" for that church. He had written many books and he had footnotes for every verse in the Bible. So anyone could simply stand up and read a footnote and make that "their testimony".

However, I was not interested in parroting someone else's ministry. I wanted to have personal experiences of the word of God. I wanted God to give me revelation. My prayer was that I could open the Bible and read it and understand it. That was a much more difficult and restricted way. But it leads to life.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

When I was in that church there were two brothers who were college students that were being groomed for ministry. They would often be called upon to share messages. Both of them became leaders in the church and they both excelled at reciting the ministry of the "apostle". The son of the "apostle" was the president of the ministry, they published the messages given by "the apostle". The son, was like the sons of Eli. He was involved in lascivious and adulterous behavior. Two elders took a strong stand to demand he be removed from the ministry. Instead they were removed from the eldership and those two brothers that had been groomed for ministry took their place. I also took a stand against the adulterous son and was driven out.

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Be warned. That church and that ministry began to dry up at that time. There were splits and lawsuits and all kinds of issues. Meanwhile the brothers who were trained to recite "the apostles" ministry became a broken record just repeating the same thing over and over again. It was a dead tree.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

There was fruit, there was blessing, that church had tens of thousands of members and was located in hundreds of cities in the US, in Asia, in South America, in Africa, and in Europe. But that adulterous son did not have anything but evil fruit and when they opted to censor anyone who stood up to this that was when that ministry took the broad way that led to destruction.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Isn't this amazing? Most Christians are very impressed by those who prophesy, and cast out devils, and do wonderful works. If this person calls Jesus Lord that is good enough for them. But hold on, we are coworkers with the Lord Jesus. How could you do all that without Him knowing you? There is a temptation to just take over and do it yourself. Let's run the ministry like a fortune 500 company. Jesus Christ is the CEO, not you. If that is not the case who cares what you do, it isn't part of the Lord's kingdom. And let's be honest, if you do run it this way you are working iniquity. Why did they insist on keeping that adulterous man as the president of the ministry? Either he knew the sins of others and they were afraid that he would expose others if they got rid of him, or they viewed him as indispensable. Either way this is what happens to the apostasy that takes the broad way that leads to destruction. During the scandal of the pedophile priests it came out that about 5% of the priests were pedophiles. The Catholic church shuffled them from parish to parish rather than deal with them the way Paul said to in 1 Corinthians 5. The reason was that although they were only 5%, there were 50% of priests involved in fornication with consenting adults. If the 5% were dealt with they were afraid they would expose the 50% and that was a price the Catholic church felt they could not pay. Does the Catholic church do many good works of Charity? Yes. However, did they ignore the Lord and work iniquity? Yes.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

When New England played the Atlanta Falcons in the Superbowl Atlanta was winning 28-3 midway into the the third quarter. That is the rain descending, the floods coming and the wind beating upon the New England house. But they didn't fall because they were built on a rock. We have seen a number of players and teams like this. Joe Montana, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, etc. These guys built their house on a rock. New England won that game. It was a testimony to the whole team. To the offense, to the defense, and to the coaches. But Atlanta lost that game.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

When Atlanta lost that game it was catastrophic to the team, to the players and to the coaches.

28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Probably the best example of "the restricted way" is given in the movie "Miracle" about the US Olympic hockey team that beat the Soviets at Lake Placid and won the gold medal. Everything that coach did was the restricted way, everything he did there were few that would take the same way. He knew that. He chose kids who when the going got hard would not quit because there was a rivalry, half the team was from one team and the other half from another and these two teams seemed to have a blood feud. No way they let the others call them quitters. He didn't choose "the best players" he chose the players with the mindset that would take the restricted way.

Wow, have I been reading this wrong?

Matthew 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

I always read this that I was to pray that the rapture is not in the winter or on a sabbath day. But what if that is not what the Lord was saying. What if there will be a flight in the winter and on the sabbath day and Jesus is telling us to pray that "our" flight is not then.

Hanukah depicts the tribulation saints and it is the feast that is in the winter. Suppose the winter depicts the tribulation and the Lord is telling us that we should pray to not be a tribulation saint.

The two witnesses are almost certainly killed on Passover and left lying in the streets for three and half days and then rise on the day of resurrection. It seems that the day the witnesses are killed is the day the that the abomination of desolation is put into the Holy sanctuary, and that is the day many will flee to the wilderness. Passover is always a "sabbath", it is known as "Passover sabbath". This is the word of God, it will be fulfilled, it is useless to pray that there is not a flight on that day, so instead what He may have meant is pray that your flight is not on that day.

The entrance ramp to the narrow way

Matthew 8:1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

Leprosy indicated rebellion against God. It is a disease which attacks our skin, our covering. God is our covering and sin tries to attack God as our covering. We are all sinners, hence we all have the rebellious sin in our flesh. However, Jesus blood can make us clean. We are immersed in an environment with viruses and bacteria that if unchecked will destroy us. Therefore we need to wash to be clean. The first step is to recognize you are a sinner, confess your sins and go to the Lord for His blood.

3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

But this is not the only step.

4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

There is a price to pay for sin and you should seek out someone who is a priest. I don't mean a religious man with a funny collar. All believers are being made into priests and kings. They will explain what the law commands. Let's give a few examples

1. Suppose you were a thief. According to the Bible you are to steal no more and then you are to bring forth fruit that is worthy of repentance which is to give to the poor.

2. Suppose you have done something to harm another person and as a result there is rift between the two of you. Then you need to go to that person, explain you want to be reconciled and ask them what you need to do to make it right.

3. Suppose you are living in sin, perhaps in fornication. That has to stop immediately.

4. Suppose you are addicted to drugs or pornography or some other vice. This must be cut off and the way you do that is to cut off the access to that sin and then to replace the time spent on that vice with time spent in fellowship with the saints. You might need to throw out the TV. You might need to move. If your "friends" are the ones dragging you down into sin, then the easiest way to cut that off and put a stop to it is to move.

The point is that in each case regardless of the sin, fellowship with the "priest" and get the fellowship from the word on how to cut this off. Think of sin as being Satan, and he is the girlfriend that is a nightmare and will not stop harassing you. What you want to do is to make the break clean, very clear, and very simple. Keep your no, no. Then when Satan returns you responds "Satan, the Lord rebuke thee, Jesus Christ is Lord".

We overcome by the blood of the lamb and by our testimony. Satan absolutely hates when you give a testimony for the Lord. Everytime Satan comes to you to tempt you think of that as God reminding you that you need to be in the word of God, that you need to be in the fellowship and that you need to give a testimony.

Speak the word only

Matthew 8:5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

We need to pray according to God's will. We have a promise that if we do that then whatever we ask He will do it. I had an experience once, my mom had had a stroke and was in the hospital. I was driving to the hospital and praying "Lord, if it is your will you can heal her". He responded "when was it ever my will to not heal?" The Lord came to heal us, the word says "by His stripes we are healed". He went to the cross to get us the cure. Healing people is His will.

7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

This is God's will. He came to heal us.

8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

This is crucial. Many want some great healing that takes place in their house. It is about their ego, to make them something. Pride and arrogance are the cause of the fall. That is the sickness that Jesus will heal us of. So do not pray in a way that would build you up. We pray that Jesus Christ would be glorified, we pray that God the Father's name would be hallowed. Not our own.

All we need is for the Lord to speak the word. As soon as the Lord told me that "when was it ever my will not to heal" I knew my mom would be healed. But I also got healed. I had taken in this lame teaching in Christianity. How often have I heard someone pray "Lord if it be your will you can heal this person". First, we know it is God's will to heal us and second we know that the Lord can heal. So this prayer makes no sense.

Instead "Lord we know it is your will to heal us and Lord we know that you went to the cross to get us the cure for all of our diseases. We can do nothing, so we ask You to speak the word and my friend will be healed".

9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

This is all it takes for someone to be healed, for Jesus to give the command. This chapter begins with someone being cleansed from rebellion against God. It continues by showing us a man who is one with God's authority. This is called "head covering". Jesus is Lord, not me. I can do nothing. But I can ask Him to give the word, give the commandment, and then it will be so. For example, if you say "Satan, I rebuke thee" he will laugh. But, if you say "Satan, the Lord rebuke thee" that is not a laughing matter. When you are first saved Satan comes to you with temptations, if you view those as reminders to get into the word, to pray, to fellowship and to worship the Lord He will stop. But he still comes to you, now by having calamities and disasters and people getting sick. Again, we should view these events as a reminder from God to pray, to get into the word, to fellowship and to worship the Lord because He said "ask what you will and it will be done for you".

10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

At this point you are fully on the narrow way that leads to life. You are walking the path that Abraham walked and all the men of faith.

11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Think of how pathetic is Christianity, many are like beggars coming each week begging the Lord to forgive them of the sins they committed that week. That is not the goal of being a Christian. The goal is to be a man of faith so that regardless of what happens you can take it to the Lord, let Him know what you need, and He does it. To be someone who can have a prayer life like that, this is the goal.

13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

There is a blessing when we gather together

Matthew 8:14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

We have a promise that when two or three gather together in the name of Jesus that He is there.

15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

There is a lot of healing that takes place in these meetings without us even asking because Jesus can see us and He touches us.

16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

With His word. We are told that we are washed in the water of the word. We began this chapter with a man who had leprosy. But even though he had it, every single person in that town was exposed to it. These germs are floating in the air. When you hear the word of God you are washed. You may not even realize how close you were to getting leprosy. Speak the word of God, devils are cast out by simply speaking the word of God, people are healed by simply speaking the word of God.

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

To be a man of faith like the Centurion is powerful. But only one person was healed, the church is even more powerful. The Centurion was asking the Lord to speak the word, the church is a platform that opens the door for the Lord to speak the word to many more people.

 

[ZNP]

Being in the Lord's army, that is for eternity.

Matthew 8:18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

To many people the goal is to build up a great ministry, to have great multitudes. You might have a congregation of thousands. But don't stop there, you now have the capability to send out missionaries. Look at the progession here, a leper gets cleansed, a centurion becomes a man of faith, the saints begin to gather together in a small home meeting, this grows into a church meeting at night and that grows into a great multitude. The next step is to send the word out to the other side.

19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

Brothers and sisters are giving themselves to the Lord and to the ministry.

20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

There are two ways to look at this, on the one hand it will be tough, you will be in poverty, etc. The other way is this will be fun, it is like camping, it is exciting, think of the stories you will be able to tell. Jesus is the greater David, the little kid with nothing taking on giants and defeating them and rallying a scared army to rise up and be victorious. He didn't have armor, he didn't have a sword or a shield. But then after the battle he has Goliath's sword and Goliath's head in his hand is his shield. Don't think of Jesus as the homeless guy, think of Him as the Navy Seal going into the enemy camp and defeating them. Those elite warriors also have no place to lay their head.

21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

I was in graduate school working on my thesis. I had discovered a very large oil field and the development of that would be a very big financial deal. At the same time they were calling for brothers to go full time to Taiwan. For me to take care of this thesis and get the oil field developed would have taken five to ten years. I left graduate school to the chagrin of my professor and went to Taiwan. This ranks as one of the best decisions of my life, right up there with my salvation experience.

22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

I made the decision knowing that in the grand scheme of things, when viewed from eternity an oil field will be nothing, whereas being in the Lord's army, that is for eternity.

 

[ZNP]

Let the adventures begin

23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

When I was a kid I had absolutely no desire to get involved in Christianity even though I knew the Lord. They looked like such weak and whiny people. So it was like taking up my cross when I followed the Lord.

24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

But then when I gave myself fully to the Lord then I began having these awesome adventures. It was incredible. People go to the amusement park to ride the roller coaster. These adventures I had following the Lord were far more exciting. Soon everything I used to think of as fun and exciting was boring. Nothing could match the adventures with the Lord.

25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

If you have taken up your cross and followed the Lord then surely you have had experiences like this. After all, that is what taking up the cross means, you are going to perish.

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

One brother explained that the Christian life is like a cycle of going through death and being raised up in resurrection and every time this happens your faith grows and you marvel all the more at the Lord. And yet every new cross is bigger, obviously the second time they are on this boat in the tempest they will not be so terrified, so there have to be newer and bigger crosses to keep causing your faith to grow.

 

[ZNP]

The end is in sight

Matthew 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

You thought the ride over was exciting, well that was simply an attack from the Prince of the Air who is still hiding. He can't hide now, this is what the real battlefield looks like.

29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

The devils know the time. If you are put in prison and are on death row, you know when the execution is and you would be saying the same thing, "hold on, I still have a few more months".

30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

Why would there be people with herds of swine in Israel? Swine were unclean. This indicates an unclean, corrupt business. We are talking drug cartels, prostitution, etc.

31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

If you want to know where are the devil possessed people today? They are in the drug cartels, they are in the street gangs, they are in the prostitutes and pimps.

32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

I learned this when I was growing up in NYC. People in the mafia die at a young age and almost always they are killed by other mafiosos. It is as though they all will run violently down into the sea and get drowned. To quote the Godfather "they swim with the fishes". When the mafia kills people they will dump their bodies in the ocean.

33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. 34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

What? They care more about their unclean, corrupt business. Jesus coming cast out the devils from people into the swine. The swine in turn became violent causing all the other swine to perish. But that is only step 1. You then find out that this unclean corrupt business has infected everyone in the city, they were getting a cut of the action. So step two is to clean up the town. That is where we are now and that is what will ultimately take place during the seven year tribulation. What you discover is that judges, police, and even the corporations are all involved in the dirty business. Look at how big the "legal" sale of opioids became. Look at how big "pornography" is. Look at how the corporations are the ones who use the illegals to do work cheaper and without all the benefits of citizens and if the illegals complain they simply ship them back to their country. Yes, the cartels are involved in drugs and human trafficking and it is a billion dollar business, but that is because there is a big market and the entire city is involved. Our mission is to go with the Lord, like Navy seals, cleaning up this corruption. When you shine a light on it, when you confront it, that devil has to flee. This is what is happening right now with the nationalists fighting the globalists. Think of them as two mafia families fighting over territory.

Recent prophetic speaking

1. Dimitru Duduman -- "it will start with an internal revolution in America started by the Communists. Some of the people will start fighting against the government. The government will be busy with internal problems. Then from the oceans Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Central America, Mexico and two other countries will attack and defeat America." [Two other countries = Venezuela and Iran?]

We are seeing this internal revolution right now. They donated approximately 300 million to the No kings protest, we are seeing ICE dealing with internal problems. And it there is a war between all these countries mentioned and the US that could easily grow into a surprise attack.

Dana Coverstone also described this in his dreams and described people shouting where are our entitlements.

Take a look at the four videos he embeds in this post with people crying out where are my entitlements?

We Think we Have the Date 10/23/2025

Nov. 1 -- Entitlements are cut off -- Shane Warren and Chris Reed

I am wondering if these people claiming the taxpayers work for them and that the taxpayers need to feed my kids, if these are deep fakes designed to get people angry. One woman threatens that she will be looting and you better not get in her way. Why would you post that on the internet? It seems to me it is designed to provoke taxpayers to anger. They know people will be unhappy and they are trying to prep the counter protestors and start a riot.

I just can't imagine some guy making a video saying you taxpayers work for me and I'm not working for nobody.

Another guy says I'm not going to go work 40-60 hours a week to pay bills.

There are 42 million people affected by this, so you can imagine what will happen, especially since they have all the free time in the world to protest, loot and riot.

When Jesus was crucified the entire nation of Israel began to unravel. Well when the rapture takes place the entire world economy will collapse like a jenga tower.

Dana Coverstone Dream

November

and then I saw October come up and
then I saw November. and this is when it
got real to me in the dream. I think the
intensity according my Fitbit when I
woke up my heart rate was about 180 .so
that was Monday night. there’s also a
night that I woke up not feeling very
well at all. I was up during the night
not feeling well. but anyway, that minute
the finger underlined November 3 times but
instead of tapping it, I saw a fist ball
up and it hit the calendar. and literally
the calendar exploded into the wall. the
numbers seemed that there were 3D, they
were falling they were just flying
everywhere.

This fist hitting the calendar could be a reference to an asteroid or to some other form of God's judgment. Since all the numbers go flying and not just the last one I assume this takes place at the start of November.


and there was a cloud of chaos that
started.

Chaos starting could be a reference to the rapture from the perspective of those left behind. That would be "the restrainer" has left. The Lord is the light and He is not the author of confusion, if the saints are raptured it is like plunging the world into darkness and chaos.

and then the next thing I saw
was I saw I saw armed protesters. I saw
fighting in the streets. I saw people
pummeling one another. I saw businesses
shuttered and shut up.

We aren't there yet, but after the rapture this could really erupt. Everyone on either side of these protests believe they are in the right. But after the rapture if you are left behind it is a testimony that you were not right in God's eyes. So this could simply be the pretense coming off.

I saw I saw
schools closed.
I saw school rooms with cobwebs hanging
in them and like things like papers
falling off the wall and posters. felt
like no one had been in them for months.
I saw banks, Bank buildings, with the
roofs being taken off. and looked almost
like alien abduction because money was
just flying through the roof into some
type of like a vacuum cleaner. that
sounds kind of strange but I was
watching wealth just being taken. I saw
politicians in back rooms making deals
with people patting, you know patting
people in the back and laughing and
smiling and smirking. and I saw monuments.
I saw I saw Washington DC burning.
I saw Washington DC blazing. I saw fires
everywhere. I saw people being rounded up.
I saw Chinese and Russian soldiers on
the ground. and Russian soldiers were
telling the Chinese soldiers to go and
pick up these people, round up these
people, secure this quadrant, secure this
area. I saw blue helmets of the UN. I saw
military things taking place.
I also saw no sign of President Trump.
I saw no sign of leadership in
Washington DC. but the vultures that I
had seen were now like gargoyles. and
there were ten feet off the ground ten
to fifteen feet off the ground. and they
were just attacking people
mercilessly. I saw people hiding in their
homes and garages.

This looks like six months later. Imagine if there is a surprise attack on the US and we have a nationwide power outage. People will starve. Without electricity the entire economy grinds to a halt. The money is worthless. After two weeks of starving and rioting people you will begin to have widespread plague because there is no running water and no way to treat those who are injured. Estimates are that 90% of Americans will die during this time. Only after that do you see UN troops, Chinese Troops and Russian troops roll in to restore order.

I saw churches being burned. I saw homes
being burned.
I saw absolute chaos. and the fist punch
on the November of 2020 is what got my
attention. and then I heard the words
again “brace yourself, brace yourself,
brace yourself.”

The first punch could be the rapture and the three days of darkness which starts the ball rolling on all of this.

I saw the index
finger underlined the word November. it
didn’t tap it. at that time I saw a fist
ball up and it hit. it just hit the
calendar. it was almost as if the
calendar went flying back into the wall.
I saw the numbers that had been like
posted on the little blocks of the
calendar, I saw those numbers just fly into the
air. and immediately I saw the same type
of scenes that I was seeing from the
dream back in December but it was more
intense. I saw Russian and Chinese troops.
I saw men wearing blue and it didn’t say
U.N. on it but the blue helmets are
typically you know United
Nations type of things. [I saw Russian soldiers telling
Chinese soldiers pointing about. they
were talking about different quadrants,
“go secure this location” “go secure
that area.” I saw the blue hats in the
context of those soldiers
that were moving. so it wasn’t people
being rounded up, it was soldiers making
strategic coordinated [don’t know if it was] called a
lockdown or what. but what I saw was
soldiers being told where to go what to
do. pointing. I saw equipment being you know.
I saw trucks.
I saw vehicles I saw military type
vehicles being moved.
I saw troops marching and not like huge
huge huge amounts of troops but I saw
troop movement, Chinese soldiers
specifically, Russian soldiers. the things
that were on their shoulders – I could
tell by that [who they were]. the Chinese obviously
because of the physical characteristics
and the UN hats. all I saw was heads and
helmets. there was no nationality no
color no race no no creed with that, but
that’s what I saw. I saw but I saw troops
here on the ground here occupying.]

but I saw looting
and saw burning and I saw mass absolute
chaos. I see people running. I saw
and heard in my vision and dream
gunfire – constant gunfire. I saw people
now hiding in their homes looking out
the windows in a dark room with a gun in
their hand and looking back to check you
know to check on their families and
things like that.
but I saw people everywhere. I saw
capitols surrounded. I saw state houses
capital state your state capitols
surrounded. I saw people screaming and
making demands that were almost just
outrageous. in the dream back in December
I had seen vultures over major cities
including especially Washington DC. and I
saw the Washington Monument.
I saw the Lincoln Memorial. I saw the
White House. and I saw that all the
curtains were pulled in the White House
especially in the Oval Office. and
everything in the sky was dark. and
it wasn’t like a storm – it was almost as
if it was nighttime. as I looked at the
White House the windows were shut. I saw
nobody moving around. then I had a
picture of inside the actual Oval Office.
and here’s what I saw cuz I’ve had a lot
of folks that have you know I said when
I posted this I didn’t see Trump. and my
reference to that wasn’t support or a
lack of support for the president. I
was simply say in the fact that I
saw no one in that office. no one was
sitting in the seat. there was no cabinet
members there. there was no secretary.
there was nobody in that room. in other
words what it said to me was at this
moment we were leaderless. and that’s the
thing that stood out to me. I saw the flags. in the
Oval Office was the resolute
desk which has some pretty historical
significance you know- the one that
Kennedy had sat at. so I’m not even sure
if Donald Trump uses that in the office
or what desk he has. but I saw that desk
and I saw nobody sitting at it. the other
thing that flashed through my mind at
that moment was I saw a long conference
table and I saw, and I’m gonna be very
specific about this,
I saw senators. I did not see Congress. I
did not see anybody in leadership. I saw
members of the Senate – it was just the
Senate. I’m not gonna say who I saw but I
know that I recognized the faces and
would know the names. and I saw them
sitting in a room that was very peaceful.
there was no rush or no panic even
though outside in the windows of that
room I could see there were fires
burning there was chaos outside. these
men were very very resolute.
they were very very patient. they were
looking at their watches. they were in no
hurry. and the other thing that I saw on
the table, stands out to me as well, was
briefcases. now in our day and age
briefcases are not even you know they’re
a thing of the past. but I saw piles
stacks and stacks and stacks and piles
and piles of briefcases on this long
conference table where these men were
talking about. I also saw the former
senator who was out of the Dakota area
so to speak and I saw him handing
folders [out]. now I don’t know what was in
these these file folders. they were
sealed with a clasp. he was pushing these
file folders to different ones of those
senators. and they were folding that
putting in those briefcases and then
locking everything. but once again they
weren’t in a hurry to get anywhere. after
that scene hit I began to see more chaos
in the skies -just terrible. think [like] the
signs and wonders in the heavens.

I think there is an analogy that can be made between the war against Israel by Hamas with this war against conservative Christians in the US by leftists. In Duduman's prophecy the leftists are called the communists.

 

[ZNP]

Will Christians know the day of the rapture before it happens?

1. We all know the verse that "no one knows the day" and I think what that means is a little different from what most people understand. At the time Jesus was speaking everyone He was talking to knew the holy feast days of the Lord, and He was saying it was not one of those days. For example, everyone knows Washington's birthday, everyone knows Memorial day, everyone knows Labor day. These are days on the calendar that everyone knows. The Jews also had days on their calendar that everyone knew and Jesus was saying it was not one of those days.

But on the other hand He was saying it would be a "day" on the calendar that everyone knows, only it wasn't on the calendar yet. Why? Because this is a big day for the Gentile church, it is their day, and so you have to look at Church history to find this day, not at the Old Testament history.

2. In Revelation chapter 3 Jesus tells the church in Sardis that unless they repent they will not know the day, but that His return will be as a thief in the night. Now Jesus was very specific about their repentance, they needed to return to the beginning when they dug out the word of God.

I understand Sardis to be the Protestant reformation when Christians left the Catholic church. You can compare that day to the rapture because there were a minority of believers holding to the word of God who left the big religious organization that had become the Apostasy. The day they came out could be considered the day that Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis to the church door. The day He did that was October 31st.

Today that day, October 31st is a very well known day in the US, the only "Christian" nation on earth. It was an Irish harvest festival and it has become the most significant day on the calendar for Satanists.

3. Jesus also said "no one knows the hour" but then a few decades later Paul told us the hour, it is the twinkling of an eye, or sunset. Now that is very significant because there are no holidays that are celebrated at the twinkling of an eye except for Halloween.

Easter -- Sunrise service

Christmas -- Midnight mass

July 4th -- barbecue

Thanksgiving -- Mid day meal

St. Patricks day -- parade during the day

New Years day -- Midnight

Now you can argue that linking the most important day to the protestant reformation to what Jesus said to the church in Sardis, is a tenuous connection. But tying this to what Paul said about the twinkling of an eye, that is a black and white word.

But there are more.

4. Jesus said on that day people would be in the field working, people would be at the mill grinding, people will be getting married, and people will be eating and drinking. This eliminates the sabbath, it eliminates major holidays like Christmas and Easter, and it eliminates religious fast days. This eliminates Thanksgiving. However, it does not eliminate Halloween.

Now think about this, we are looking for a day on the calendar that everyone knows, but which no one knew at the time of Jesus. We are looking for a day that was perhaps the most important day for the church in Sardis, the Protestant Reformation, but which is also the most important day for Satan because once the restrainer leaves He will be unrestrained. We are therefore looking for a religious holiday that the Protestant Reformation has forgotten (Jesus told them to repent and go back to that day otherwise they would not know when He returns) but that the devils and demons are very much aware of (remember the devils that said to Jesus are you coming to torment us before the day, they know the day).

5. But, there is more to this day. Ruth getting married to Boaz is a type of the gentile church being raptured to the heavens. There are two books in the Old Testament with names of women, Ruth and Esther and these both depict weddings, one of a Gentile bride and one of a Jewish bride. Ruth gets married after the harvest. Jesus also depicts the rapture as the wheat being harvested and brought to the barn and the tares being tossed into the fire. In Jeremiah we are told "the summer is over and we are not saved" depicting the left behind saints realizing they are left behind after the harvest. The Jews only had two seasons, summer and winter. Summer ends with a big harvest festival, that marks the end of the summer and the start of the winter.

So then, what is a day on the calendar that everyone knows today but didn't know at the time of Jesus? You can eliminate all the Jewish holy days.

This holy day is at the end of the harvest season.

This day would be very special to the Protestant reformation, but a day they have forgotten.

This day would be very special to Satanists.

This holiday is celebrated at "the twinkling of the eye".

At this point it is crystal clear it is talking about Halloween, but you might ask what is the proof that this day is supposed to be special to the Satanists?

6. In the Old Testament the holy days were holy convocations, that means they were dress rehearsals. Satan is a copy cat, his special day is also a dress rehearsal.

The rapture of the church is likened to Jesus giving up the "ghost". The left behind saints are the ones crying "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me" while the raptured ones are the ones that Jesus says "into they hands I commend my Spirit". They are the spirit filled ones. At that moment when the rapture takes place Jesus takes a tour through hades and Tartarus. He goes to preach the gospel to the fallen angels bound in chains. The analog to that is there will be three days of darkness, gross darkness that you can feel, that coincides with the rapture.

Halloween is October 31st, it is followed by All Saints day, and then the Day of the Dead. These are commemorating the three days of darkness. Halloween is a dress rehearsal for when the fallen angels will be cast to the earth at the same time that the Manchild is caught up to heaven. The dress rehearsal proves what this day is going to be.

Now even if this day is not in the Old Testament there should be a shadow of it. Yes, there is a shadow of it.

You have both Samson and Elijah.

7. Samson pushing out the pillars is a type and shadow of the rapture. The church is the pillar and base of the truth, when it is removed in the rapture the worldly temple collapses. Samson would depict the left behind, and in their death, in their martyrdom they will have a much stronger testimony than they did during their life.

According to this type there was a great feast day to Dagon, a pagan god. Therefore we are looking for a pagan holiday for the rapture to be on.

8. Elijah knew the day he was going to be raptured. So this answers the question "will Christians know the day of the rapture". According to the type and shadow of Elijah the answer is yes. However, not all Christians, only those who are raptured. And certainly not people in the world. However, the prophets of God also knew because this fits with Gods word that He will do nothing without telling His holy prophets before hand. Also Elisha knew, Elisha represents the left behind saints. Jesus said if after putting your hand to the plow you turn back concerned about your family and other concerns you are not worthy. Elisha did that, hence he was not ready for the rapture and he needed a repentance. Elijah told him that if he truly had repented he would be there when Elijah is taken up and then he would get a double portion of the spirit for the tribulation saints.

So yes, some Christians will know, most will not and for the world it will be a total surprise. That said the evidence pointing to Halloween is Biblical. This is not based on some dream, it is based on Jesus' word, Paul's word, and the types and shadows and prophecies in the Bible.

BTW, Halloween is thought to also be the day of the flood, so this is also one of the days of Noah, the most important one.
