2023, the Government shutdown and the rapture
Matthew 26:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, 2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
The Lord tells us beforehand what is going to happen so that we can pray and prepare ourselves to stand.
3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
When you see all the rulers of the people gathering in large gatherings, in unprecedented gatherings know that this is not to exchange pleasantries. In the first Godfather movie there is a meeting of all the families when Vito wants to bring his son home from Sicily. That was when he learned Barzini was the one orchestrating everything, and that was when he began to plot about how to bring down the other four families.
5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
The feast days are prophetic, a shadow of things to come. They are called "holy convocations" which means holy dress rehearsals. The enemy knows this but is powerless to stop God's word from being fulfilled.
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. 8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. 11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. 12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. 13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
A lot has been shared about this and I think it is very significant that all the gospels record this, however, this is the reason that Jesus is crucified on a feast day. First they say "not on a feast day" then someone pours out this perfume on Jesus, it would have been a lot of money had Judas got his hands on it, but he didn't get any of it and so now he is miffed enough to cut a deal to betray Jesus for money.
Consider the US. DOGE and the government shut down have cut off funding to many so called "charitable organizations" which we have since learned were used to launder money for corrupt purposes. Likewise, ICE arresting cartel members and the military dismantling all the criminal networks in the US is causing banks in China to go bankrupt that were laundering the cash. People are screaming to restart the government to fund SNAP and food stamps. However, at the same time I am seeing an outpouring of food given to food banks to make up for the lack among SNAP. One church is giving away boxes of potatoes (500 lbs each) to food banks and churches to then distribute to those in need. The government tries to seize the charitable organizations from the church because they are a thief and the steal the money given to them. The church pouring out their love in responding to this government shutdown will seize that role back and cause the Satanic kingdom of darkness to split and collapse. Since plan A is not going to work they must go to Plan B.
14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
They gave 20 pieces of silver for Joseph and now 30 pieces of silver for Jesus, that works out to 2030. In 2023 Hamas invaded Israel and that may be the start of a seven year period of betrayal against Israel culminating in 2030. Do not be simple and assume everything is talking about the rapture. Instead think of many threads woven together to make a cloth. This thread of betrayal is woven into the full tapestry. We are told by Jesus that this took place two days before His crucifixion. I consider that prophecy is like the Mandelbrot set. The big pattern is perfectly shadowed in a smaller pattern when you zoom in. Two days before Jesus is crucified Judas goes to betray Him with the religious leaders. At the end of the age that two days could be two years. 2023 could be a major sign that the rapture will take place in 2025.
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
How revolting and what a contrast. Judas is only in it for the money, contrast that with the woman who pours out the alabaster box on Jesus, anointing Him before His death.
