Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

How do you understand all these types and prophecies?

When I was much younger I saw this textbook on the human anatomy and it had about 25 pages of transparencies and you could peel each page off and it was like taking a deeper slice of the human body. In the same way each shadow is like a two dimensional depiction of something that is 3 dimensional, it is just a slice. You have to put them all on top of each other, one after another to get the full picture and then by peeling them off one by one you get to see the entire picture from the surface to the depths. So we can have multiple types, shadows and prophecies concerning the rapture, concerning the day of the Lord, concerning everything that will take place.

For example, what about from the point of view of Philadelphia? What about Laodicea? How about from Jezebel's point of view? What about for those who take the mark of the beast? etc.

Under the power of a demon

21 And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 But she came and [i]worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs. 27 But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it done unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

The word for "vexxed" in verse 22 means to be under the power of a demon. Many believers are very concerned by what they have seen concerning the public school. There are groomers there, prepping kids for pedophilia, they are teaching CRT and other racists teachings. There are schools that are punishing kids based on their race, keeping them from getting merit scholarships and other awards. They promote BLM and ANTIFA protests, often bringing classes to marches to join in.

First thing we need to understand, Jesus was not sent in His earthly ministry to divide the inheritance evenly among everyone. The idea that this is not fair that someone is born into a wealthy family while someone else is born to a single mother with two jobs, this is not something that the gospel is eliminating. What the gospel focuses on is the sin that might have led you to a path of destruction. If you are filled with faith, hope and love you can withstand the wiles of the evil one and the temptations of the devil. Thereby you can avoid the wages of those sins which is death. Drug addiction, fornication, adultery, these are things that can destroy you and your life. This is a major cause for the inequity that people see.

Now it is very true that traps have been laid and there are many things that the rulers and leaders have done which will harm and hurt you. So the second thing we need to see is that Jesus is Lord. As long as we listen to Him and follow Him and obey Him He can lead us through this mine field they have laid to destroy us.

Finally, we must deal with our ego. Everyone wants to be a king or a prince or little Lord Fauntelroy, this will destroy you. Be happy to be at the table, even in the lowest place, which is the pet dog. Jacob was a "worm". Ruth was at the lowest place in society when she returned to care for her mother in law. David was at the lowest place, not even in the army, when he killed Goliath. Jesus thought it not robbery to be equal with God and yet He emptied Himself, took the form of a servant and even died the death of the cross, the punishment for the absolute lowest of low in society.

Do these three things and you destroy any hold a demon has over you.

10 prophecies that point to the Tribulation beginning in 2022*.


1. Fig Tree Prophecy -- everything is fulfilled by May 14, 2029 which would be the end of the Fig tree generation. Please note, this is a rough estimate as you have to convert the date of Israel returning to the land to the Jewish calendar.

2. Abomination timeline refers to the prophecy in Daniel. If the days equal years this leads to the building of Mosque on the Dome of the Rock and then from there to 2021 (which ends April 2nd, 2022). This is give or take a year as the building of the mosque took a period of time.

3. Daniel's weeks refer to the prophecy that exactly tells us when the Lord would come and be crucified the first time. Apparently the exact same formula can be applied to an event that took place less than 500 years ago and leads us to 2021. There are many calculations on this and again, even if you say 2021 that in turn means Nisan 1 which would be in the spring of 2022. I suspect they are off a year as there is a lot of activity suggesting the temple will be ready this spring for Passover.

4. It is 2520 prophetic years (360 days per year) from the decree to rebuild the Temple to 2021. Once again, the same caveats apply.

5. Hosea says after 2 days He will revive us and on the third day He will raise us up. There has been careful calculation that the crucifixion was in 28 AD, which would suggest all things are fulfilled in 2028 and the Millenial reign begins after that. Again, suggesting May 14, 2029 or whatever the equivalent Jewish date is on their calendar.

6. We know that 1917 and 1967 were jubilee years based on a prophecy from a Rabbi hundreds of years ago. Therefore 2017 was also a jubilee year. Then the prophecy concerning the fig tree that they would give it four years to give fruit before he tears it down indicates that 2022 is the deadline and by the Jewish calendar 2022 ends in the Spring of 2023.

7. The Revelation 12 sign Sept 23, 2017 is also a major sign, it took place on the first day of awe. There are 10 days of awe before the day of atonement. This would make 2022 the fourth day of awe, if the 70th week is seven years with the last year being the day of atonement then the 70th week must begin in the spring of 2023.

8. Prior to the Revelation 12 sign we had 4 blood moons that took place on Jewish holy days, we had a comet ISon show up in the heavens during the entire 8 days of Hanukkah in 2012, we had a remarkable Solar eclipse that went over 7 cities named "Salem" in the US, etc., etc. I cannot go over all the various signs because they are extremely numerous. (Genesis 1, Joel, Luke, Acts and Revelation all say there will be signs in the heavens before the great and notable day). However, this comet that is approaching Earth over the next ten days appears to also have been predicted in Revelation 12 about a third of the stars being cast to the earth. Steve Fletcher explains this.

9. We had the sign of Jonah, a man swallowed by a whale and at the same time a boy named Jonah is pulled from the rubble after surfside building collapse. The Lord prophesied that this would be the only sign given to the adulterous generation and this man who was swallowed by the whale did go on all their talk shows.

10. We also had the street protests all over the US. Jonah was not simply about a man swallowed by a great fish but also about 40 days of street protests.


*You have to use the Hebrew calendar when talking about the 70th week beginning as that is clearly focused on the Jews. Their year begins on Nisan 1 which begins either on March 21 or April 19th (it can be difficult to calculate) and no doubt some will even say May 19. Suffice it to say we are talking about the Spring of 2023 by our Gregorian calendar.

How can "Predictive Programming" work if Satan doesn't know the future?

It isn't true that Satan doesn't know the future, he knows the Bible every bit as well as any person does, what he doesn't know is "when". Therefore in every generation he has his minions sitting in reserve ready to go to war. This is just like any country having a standing army or any corporation having an army of lawyers on retainer.

Still there is an uncanny "predictive programming" going on that "predicts the future" how does he do that?

When I was a stock broker there were a number of ways that stock brokers would attempt to solicit new business. One clever way was to take 3 stocks that you feel were going to go up. You send out 333 letters recommending each one. Now suppose a month later one of those did go up nicely. You now send 111 letters doing the same thing with three more stocks to the 333 that got the first recommendation. Again, suppose one of those three is up a month later. Now you call the 35 or 36 people who got the two good recommendations. It doesn't matter that you are wrong 65% of the time. For those 35 people it seems you are excellent.

Only God puts down all of His prophecies in the Bible and you can see that every one gets fulfilled.

Isaiah 46:10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’

OK, so there is a lot more to the 1948 -- this generation shall not pass away than just Israel becoming a nation.

6 European nations signed a "Unification of Europe" pact leading to the reformation of the Roman Empire predicted in Revelation.

World Council of Churches was formed in 1948 leading to one world religion.

World Trade Organization was formed in 1948 leading to one world currency

First computer chip was built in 1948 leading to the mark of the beast.

Abortion industry was born in 1948 -- human sacrifices to Satan

Planned Parenthood was also formed -- sacrifices to the Beast

33 RPM records were first made leading to the programming of the world's conscious.

Commercial TV started leading to the programming of the world's conscious.

NATO was born

UN Declaration of Human rights was also made in this year.

Kinsey report on sexual revolution -- this was a lie that has led to the sexual perversion of the US as Sodom and Gomorrah.

Israel's first use of bioweapons -- leading ultimately to the Covid bioweapon pandemic.

Vaccines on a large scale were first used in 1948 -- leading ultimately to this vaccine as a bioweapon mandated to the whole world.

The NSA, CIA and FBI were created in 1947-1948, this is the deep state. This is how the illuminati got their "all seeing eye".

And the transistor radio was also invented -- part of the mark of the beast

A sign from the heavens

Matthew 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

The sign is that the heavens are red with blood. What that means is whether or not this is the end of your day or the beginning of your day. If the sun is setting on your day and the sky is red with blood then be at peace, the next day in the kingdom you will have peace. If however, the sky being red with blood is the dawning of a new day for you then know, you will have trouble.

Today the news has broken that it seems China has tried to hide the fact that 400 million have died in the last year from the pandemic. That is a sign from heavens, this age is coming to a close with a sky filled with blood. If you are with those trying to bring in a new age where Antichrist rules by killing off those who would object with this pandemic, then know this, you will have trouble during the tribulation. On the other hand for those looking for the Lord's return at the end of the age and His kingdom to come, then know this you will have peace in the Millenial kingdom.

4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

This is really stupid. The sign of Jonah was a sign that called people to repent. If you are not going to repent of your sins then who cares if you see the signs. Likewise, if you have seen the signs and have repented it doesn't really matter.

Whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven

Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

After this we see the Disciples loose the colt that was on earth and that had been bound and brought that colt to the Lord so that the Lord could ride him into Jerusalem.

We also see something that is bound shortly thereafter, and that is the Lord Jesus.

Matthew 27:2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

What did they bind on earth? It was the flesh, the old man, we are told by Paul that if Satan had known about the cross he never would have crucified the Lord of glory. Whatever you do to others will be done to you.

John the Baptist was bound, imprisoned, and beheaded. As a result we learn that the man who will be the forerunner of the AntiChrist, preparing the way for him will also be bound, imprisoned and beheaded.

Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

This is referring to the one who comes to the wedding feast without a wedding garment. The wedding garment refers to our being clothed with righteousness. If you bind others on earth, well you will be bound in heaven at the wedding feast.

In Mark 5 Jesus loosed a man who was demon possessed. In Mark 15:7 Barabbas is bound along with Jesus and the crowd wants to loose Barabbas.

You need to be careful what you loose. The day will come when the crowd will want to loose the Antichrist and Satan and all the fallen angels and the demons. Opening the pit of hell will loose many demons on the earth.

In Luke Jesus loosed a woman bound with an infirmity for 18 years. In John Lazarus was bound hand and foot with grave clothes. Paul had letters to bind anyone of the way and bring them to Jerusalem. He had authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on the name of the Lord Jesus.

On the other hand Peter was in prison, bound, when the angel came and loosed him.

Paul says that when you get married you are bound to your spouse.

He also tells us that the word of God is not bound.

However, this does not mean that we do not bind anything.

Matthew 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

Jesus is going to bind the strong man when He plunders his house with the rapture.

This is practical for us at the end of the age:

Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

The criminals will first be bound and put into a pile to be burned. This is why we are praying to bind and to loose. We are praying that those who would confess and repent would be loosed. We are also praying that those who refuse to confess and repent would be bound.

21 prophecies that point to 2022 being the rapture with the 70th week beginning Nisan 2023.

1. Fig Tree Prophecy -- everything is fulfilled by 2029, so the 7 year tribulation begins 2022. (Please note that the Hebrew calendar is the one we use for the 70th week, and their calendar begins in Nisan -- Spring of 2023).

2. Abomination timeline refers to the prophecy in Daniel. If the days equal years this leads to the building of Mosque on the Dome of the Rock and then from there to 2022.

3. Daniel's weeks refer to the prophecy that exactly tells us when the Lord would come and be crucified the first time. Apparently the exact same formula can be applied to an event that took place less than 500 years ago and leads us to 2022.

4. It is 2520 prophetic years (360 days per year) from the decree to rebuild the Temple to 2022.

5. Hosea says after 2 days He will revive us and on the third day He will raise us up. There has been careful calculation that the third day began very recently, perhaps as early as 2017.

6. We know that 1917 and 1967 were jubilee years based on a prophecy from a Rabbi hundreds of years ago. Therefore 2017 was also a jubilee year. Then the prophecy concerning the fig tree that they would give it four years to give fruit before he tears it down indicates that 2022 is the deadline and by the Jewish calendar 2022 ends spring of 2023.

7. The Revelation 12 sign Sept 23, 2017 is also a major sign, it took place on the first day of awe. There are 10 days of awe before the day of atonement. If those ten days represent ten years those ten years could have begun in the Spring of 2018. Ten years later would be 2028 and therefore the Lord would need to return in glory prior to the end of that year, before May 14, 2029.

8. Prior to the Revelation 12 sign we had 4 blood moons that took place on Jewish holy days, we had a comet ISon show up in the heavens during the entire 8 days of Hanukkah in 2012, we had a remarkable Solar eclipse that went over 7 cities named "Salem" in the US, etc., etc. I cannot go over all the various signs because they are extremely numerous. (Genesis 1, Joel, Luke, Acts and Revelation all say there will be signs in the heavens before the great and notable day).

9. We had the sign of Jonah, 7 months ago we had a man swallowed by a whale and at the same time a boy named Jonah is pulled from the rubble after surfside building collapse. The Lord prophesied that this would be the only sign given to the adulterous generation and this man who was swallowed by the whale did go on all their talk shows.

10. We also had the street protests all over the US. Jonah was not simply about a man swallowed by a great fish but also about 40 days of street protests.

11. chapter 1 of Joel describes a global shutdown of the economy never before seen that brings people to poverty and this is not due to drought or flood but rather a plague of insect like creatures that swarm and devour.

Chapter two of Joel sounds the trumpet as an alarm saying the day of the Lord cometh and is nigh at hand then it describes this plague of "insect" like creatures turning the land to a desolate wilderness. They can get into any house, past any window, we have no weapon against them, and they all march in a line without pushing on anyone like watching people lined up in social distancing entering a grocery store. He says this is focused on the pastors and priests. The churches are shut down, the offerings cease, and the Lord is declaring a fast, a solemn gathering for us to repent and call out to Him for mercy. Meanwhile He tells the faithful worshippers of the Lord to fear not and this is where we learn He will pour out His spirit on all flesh and you will dream dreams and have visions.

12. your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions — this is in Joel at the same time as a worldwide pandemic which shuts down the global economy and shuts down churches.

13. 6 European nations signed a "Unification of Europe" pact leading to the reformation of the Roman Empire predicted in Revelation.

33 RPM records were first made leading to the programming of the world's conscious.

Commercial TV started leading to the programming of the world's conscious.

NATO was born

14. World Council of Churches was formed in 1948 leading to one world religion.

15. World Trade Organization was formed in 1948 leading to one world currency

16. First computer chip was built in 1948 leading to the mark of the beast.

And the transistor radio was also invented -- part of the mark of the beast

17. Abortion industry was born in 1948 -- human sacrifices to Satan

Planned Parenthood was also formed -- sacrifices to the Beast

18. UN Declaration of Human rights was also made in this year.— So that they are without excuse

19. Kinsey report on sexual revolution -- this was a lie that has led to the sexual perversion of the US as Sodom and Gomorrah. — just as the Lord said, it would be as the days of Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah

20. Israel's first use of bioweapons -- leading ultimately to the Covid bioweapon pandemic. — The pale horse

Vaccines on a large scale were first used in 1948 -- leading ultimately to this vaccine as a bioweapon mandated to the whole world.

21. The NSA, CIA and FBI were created in 1947-1948, this is the deep state. This is how the illuminati got their "all seeing eye". — The whole world lies in the evil one.

Christians Win at Armageddon 01/25/2023

Stan is looking for researchers who will research topics that interest him. He goes into one example of something he wants researched. Basically he wants a brief description of what a company does and who these ones are that attended the World Economic Forum. He expects that the majority of these ones are "the bad guys".

I am open to the Lord and asking Him if He has any burden for this.

Previously my view has been quite different, we pray for people to be saved, we don't see people as good guys and bad guys but rather those that are in the kingdom of darkness and those that have been delivered from the kingdom of darkness.

Now if we were putting together a prayer list, that would be something I would be quite interested in.

I found that from the 59 minute mark on this was a good video. I skimmed the first part, so I can't give a detailed critique, but it seemed like old hat at best, and boring at worst. Perhaps I was wrong. But from the 59 minute mark it seemed insightful, astute, and some good light on the Biblical prophecies.

Isaiah 26:1-8 -- Open ye the gates

1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.

This day refers to the Day of the Lord.

2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

This verse refers to the rapture of the saints.

3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:

The saints are raptured to a place of perfect peace during the tribulation. Prior to this event there will be signs, there will be rumors, there will be demonic things, rebellious things, and to keep in perfect peace you will need to keep your mind stayed on the Lord.

5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.

The Lord will bring down the arrogant to the dust at this time. These aren’t saints, so they must be unbelievers. Many believers have the mistaken understanding that we have nothing to do with what is happening on the world, or with the leaders of these countries. The bible weaves the story of what is happening to both together. One verse it is the rapture, the next verse is the judgement on the corrupt rulers. Once He that restrains steps aside then all hell breaks loose. The church, as the bride of Christ, is animated by the Holy Spirit and is restraining evil on this earth until they are raptured. They expose election fraud, they expose the lies of the media, they hold the leaders accountable, they reject the sin that we see on Hunter Biden’s laptop. They expose the pandemic as a bioweapon and they expose the agenda behind the vaccine. So then today what city is the "lofty city"? Would that be Washington DC? NYC? London? Rome? Jerusalem? It might be all of them but one would think it is certainly one of them. So let's look a little closer, 5th Avenue in NYC, that is "lofty". All of these cities have their "lofty portions". How about Wall Street, Embassy row, the Vatican or Buckingham Palace?

6 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.

This is justice, as they have done it will be done to you. They tread down the poor and needy, so it is only right that they are tread upon by the poor and needy. Look at how they have treated the deplorables, well, as you have done it will be done to you. We have been commanded to love others as the Lord loved us. He loved us when we were in sin, when we were dead in our sins and offenses. Then we are told to love in deed, not just words. So it is a commandment of the Lord that we stand in defense of unbelievers, sinners, and those who are in sins.

7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. 8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

Those who are raptured are judged. You have the wise and foolish virgins who either did or did not prepare. You also have those who are taken in the field and in the bed, while others are left behind, divorced. You have those who are feeding God’s people when the Lord returns and you have those who are burying their talent and feasting with the world. Those in the bed, are they sleeping? That wouldn’t make sense because we are warned repeatedly to watch and not sleep. Does this mean that the Lord will come at an instant which will be any of the 24 hours of the day depending on where you live? Maybe. Does it mean that some will be sick and infirm when the Lord comes? Perhaps.

Isaiah 26:9-21 Enter thou into thy chambers

9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

This will begin the millennial kingdom of Christ where His judgements are in the earth and the world will learn righteousness. It begins with the world reaping what they have sown during the tribulation. We have seen what an unrighteous government looks like, now for a thousand years we will learn what righteousness can yield.

10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.

Many do not understand why the Lord tarries in His judgement, but it is to prove this point. Shewing the wicked favor does not result in their repentance from evil. Likewise, they see a land of uprightness as a prime opportunity to run their scams since people are naturally trusting. Regardless of how much you might speak on the majesty of the Lord they will refuse to see it.

11 Lord, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.

And this is why the end of this age is a time of rejoicing for some and a time of woe for others. Do you see the Lord’s majesty? Do you see that His hand is lifted up? Deal with your envy, because when the Lord judges it is like a forest fire that devours up all the dried out trees.

12 Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.

The church is the Lord’s masterpiece, He has been building it for 2,000 years and the end of the age is a display of all the works He has wrought in us.

13 O Lord our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. 14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

Human history also testifies to the greatness of our Lord. We discover every day that many, many societies that existed previously have all been visited, destroyed and their memory has perished.

15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. 16 Lord, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. 17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O Lord.

This is the great sign in heaven that we saw September 2017, and which John wrote about in Revelation 12. It indicates that God’s people are like a woman in travail to give birth. We see God’s people in travail to give birth and the wicked doing everything in their power to stop this from happening.

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

At the time of the Lord’s coming the people of God will be in pain, like birth pains, crying out to Him. The world may be rejoicing, but once the baby is born and caught up to heaven (the first rapture) then the world’s rejoicing will turn to sorrow and God’s people will be the ones rejoicing. Even at this moment many feel like all of the travail has been for naught.

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

The dead in Christ rise and then those of us who remain will also be with the Lord in the air. This will be stunning, all these men of faith for the last two thousand years rising from the grave.

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

During the Tribulation those that are raptured are able to hide in these chambers till the Lord’s indignation is past. But what will the situation be like? The Lord will be indignant at the sins and abusive behavior of the corrupt leaders. Already we see that the wheat harvest in the US has been destroyed, and the harvests in China have been destroyed, and the pasture land in the US has been destroyed. The Lord said His coming would be like a thief in the night. No one is paying attention but the food has been destroyed. It takes months in the pipeline before a cow in the field or grain growing in the field ends up on the grocery store shelves. This indignation is already coming down the pipeline. We can see terrible famine in Yemen and Madagascar, but once this hits it will become much more widespread. Think of the famine coming like a caravan of trucks driving to DC to protest the mandates.

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

This is a picture of the end of this age. It begins with the festival of trumpets and this chapter in Isaiah is always read during this festival. After the rapture we have the four horsemen of the apocalypse followed by the fifth seal where the martyrs are revealed and their blood under the altar is disclosed. What are the horsemen? The Gospel and the false gospel (represented by the White horse), war, famine and plague. What we will learn is that there are many, many people responsible for these atrocities that the Lord will punish at this time.

The only word I have heard concerning the rapture and the tribulation is that the rapture takes place 187 days before the tribulation (based on the typology of David being king in Hermon) and the tribulation begins on the Feast of Trumpets.
