Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

Ezekiel 24:1 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day. 3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:

The rebellious house would refer to the house of Israel that rebelled against the Lord. That can be described as an apostasy. I am going to look at these verses to see how it applies to the apostasy of the church. The first thing we see is the apostasy was like putting a pot of water on the fire. It takes time to warm up, then little bubbles. We saw some little bubbles years ago as they were pushing for an ecumenical movement to unite with the Catholic church. We saw pagan practices infiltrate the church. But the bubbles kept getting bigger and bigger until it was a rolling boil. Look at King Charles coronation celebrating paganism and his desire to be the head of all faiths. Can't get any clearer than that, a man being crowned king and proclaiming himself head of all faiths, sitting on the stone that Jacob supposedly used as a pillow, being anointed with oil by rabbis, and having members of the occult and Islam celebrating his coronation. He was crowned in May of 2023 and in my opinion that coronation was foreshadowed when Adonijah crowned himself king prior to Solomon being crowned.

4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

This is what happened at the coronation. All the key people and the most influential were invited. A 33rd degree Mason was in charge of the music. Everyone who was anyone was there.

5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

Let it boil well, we saw the Grammies with a Satanic celebration, we saw the Olympics with a pagan celebration, we saw Transvestites leading church services, it has been boiling well for over a year.

6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.

When you boil bones of meat with the blood in them you will get this gross scum floating on top. This is what we have seen in the last year. A gross scum on top.

7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

This was clear when they freaked out about abortion being given to the States to decide and when they wanted to legalize abortion nationwide up to 9 months. We saw this in the movie the Sound of Freedom, with the child trafficking and the revelation about Epstein Island and Diddy parties.

8 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.

These sins are not covered. They have become public knowledge. Thank you Lord. When something like this is made known it will cause a chemical reaction like putting Sodium into water. It will cause "fury to come up to take vengeance".

9 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.

A pile for fire is a bon fire. The warnings have been clear and the people in charge are not milk toast RINOs, they are lunatics on the order of James Dean heading for the cliff in this game of chicken. No one can flinch. Trump realizes if he weakens just a little they will kill him, and they realize there is not going to be any commuting of the sentence. They get convicted they will be executed.

10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.

This is what we have been watching with this election. They heaped on wood, they spiced it well, and this fire is going to be so hot the bones will be burned. This is going to go nuclear.

11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.

After that the US will be like this empty pot where those that remain will be consumed. Instead of washing the pot out with soap and water you can simply burn this stuff up to ash and scrape it out.

12 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.

It is exhausting to tell lies. Especially if people are videotaping every word you say. This is why Kamala spoke in word salads that were meaningless. She couldn't say anything that meant anything or else people would pull up old videos of her exposing the lies.

13 In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

This is the truth. The Lord purged them but they weren't purged. You can't confess Jesus, repent of your sins, be washed in the blood and then continue to live in your sins claiming that you are saved. Either you are purged of filthiness or you aren't. Simply claiming the pot is clean when it is obviously filthy doesn't make it clean, it makes you a liar.

14 I the Lord have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord God.

 

[ZNP]

Ezekiel 24:15 Also the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. 17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.

The desire of your eyes is a picture of the church. God will take the church away. Some will be raptured, some will be burned and killed like the 400 prophets of Baal, and the rest will be refugees in the wilderness.

18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded. 19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so? 20 Then I answered them, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.

If you were a jealous husband divorcing your wife for adultery you would "profane your sanctuary".

22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. 23 And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.

This is what the Lord referred to as being cast into outer darkness. Jesus said there would be weeping and gnashing of teeth. However, that does not mean that everyone will be weeping, some will be gnashing their teeth. If you had been denying that there is a pre tribulation rapture and then the rapture takes place, you might have an obstinate attitude like those that rushed upon Saint Stephen and gnashed their teeth on him.

24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord God. 25 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,

If you lose the desire of your eyes then that could cause weeping.

26 That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?

There will be an escape and that is of God so that all can hear of it with their ears. Think of 911, that impacted the whole country even though the places that were hit were three specific sites. I suspect that what is coming will be ten times worse than 911. Whereas 911 almost brought down the US economy, this will cause the US economy to collapse within the same hour.

27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

The mouth being opened and no more dumb reminds me of the Father of John the Baptist who could not speak until John was born. I think there are many who see what is happening but don't speak because of organized religions taboo, but once the rapture takes place then their mouth will be opened to help those who are left behind.

Trump's reign as president will be like Zimri's reign, part 1

2 Kings 9:1 And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead:

This threw me off because Elisha is the leading prophet after Elijah is raptured, so I assumed this would happen after the rapture. However, I now have a slightly different take on this. I see Elisha following Elijah similar to what we have right now. It is like Martha and Mary. I see Jesus calling Lazarus from the grave to be similar to this election of Trump. Both Martha and Mary were praying to the Lord over this. I see Martha as those Christians who were much more willing to get involved in politics while Mary represents those focused exclusively on the worship of the Lord. When Jesus challenged the political activist believers "do you believe in the resurrection" they realized they needed help from the Christians who were focused on the resurrection life. They equated Jesus asking if they believed in the resurrection with Jesus calling for Mary. We saw the same thing during this election where they called for the 41 million Americans who identified as Christians and didn't vote to come out and vote. So just like when Lazarus was raised from the dead it involved both Mary and Martha to agree together. In the same way this with Trump required both the Elijah and Elisha groups to agree together. So yes, Elisha calls this one to go and anoint Trump but that doesn't mean the rapture has already taken place, it might, but it might also mean that Elisha is the Martha while Elijah is the Mary in this analysis and they are both involved with Elisha taking the lead.

2 And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber; 3 Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.

The anointing is like the time when David was anointed. It isn't the coronation. The coronation for President is January 20th. So this is prior to that.

4 So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead. 5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain. 6 And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel. 7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel.

Now this could easily refer to what happened to Trump prior to his running for president in 2016. Remember Trump saying "Lock her Up" referring to Hillary Clinton?

8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel: 9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah: 10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.

The problem with thinking this was back in 2016 is that Trump did not do this. He balked. Furthermore the assassination attempt on Trump's life is when the blood was put on his right ear, his right thumb and his right toe. That is when he was anointed as a priest and king. That is also when he began to acknowledge that he would not be here were it not for God.

11 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication. 12 And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel. 13 Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.

Think of how much things have changed. If twenty years ago you said you had a dream that Trump would be president you would be considered a mad fellow. But one week after the assassination attempt the RNC declared Trump was the candidate and they blew the trumpet and they acknowledged that God had helped save Trump, and that they would need the Christians to vote. Meanwhile the other candidate told the Christians to go take a hike, they were in the wrong campaign rally.

14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria. 15 But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.

Joram is the son of Ahab. I would say that Bill and Hillary Clinton depict Ahab and Jezebel. Their son is Obama. His reign was 8 years, not 12, unless you consider he was reigning behind the scenes when Biden was president.

Trump's reign as president will be like Zimri's reign, part 2

16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram. 17 And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace? 18 So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again. 19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. 20 And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.

You can definitely say that Trump's campaign was both crazy and that he drove furiously. No one could keep up with all the rallies he did.

21 And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite. 22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?

We saw this battle during Trumps first term where they did everything in their power to hamstring him as well as the last four years. The lawfare, the impeachments, the slander, we have been watching Jehu battle with Obama and why? Because of the whoredoms of Jezebel (human trafficking, Epstein Island, Diddy parties, and the cartels bringing kids across the border) and also because of the witchcraft. The pandemic was sorcery. The vaccine was sorcery. Abortion is part of the occult which needs the sacrifice of human blood that is pure.

23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah. 24 And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot. 25 Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the Lord laid this burden upon him; 26 Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the Lord; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the Lord. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of the Lord.

We have not yet seen this but I fully expect we will shortly. Already we are seeing Obama's forces in disarray. I suppose that Biden will be the first to go down. Ahaziah reigns for one year and acts like a woman. This could be a reference to Kamala Harris.

27 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there. 28 And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David. 29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah. 30 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.

So we have three characters here which we will probably see as Biden, Harris and Hillary Clinton. But in reality it is Obama behind the scenes with Biden and Harris.

31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?

Wow, what a perfect reference. Zimri reigned for seven days, just like the seven years of the tribulation. He burned the Kings house over him, so his reign was nothing but being besieged on all sides and going up in a the flames of a bonfire. All those who don't want Trump to be president say this is what will happen if he does become president.

32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.

A eunuch is someone who has been castrated, perhaps they are what we would now call "trans".

33 And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot. 34 And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter. 35 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands. 36 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel: 37 And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.

So we do see both Elisha and Elijah involved in this chapter. Elisha sends the prophet to anoint Jehu, but Jehu is commissioned to fulfill the word spoken by Elijah.

God a Minute is pushing the idea that the rapture is on Shavuot in 2025.

Let us examine that idea.

1. After the rapture the ministry of the two witnesses will begin (the two olive trees). Shavuot in 2025 is June 1, 42 months later is December 1. If you add 40 days (compare the rapture to Jesus being baptized, then they are thrust out into the wilderness to fast for forty days, that would be January 10th when are killed and ascend to heaven. If you give them 50 days after the rapture to start their ministry it is January 20th, 2028.

None of these days are holy convocations. That is a problem for me because the two witnesses are clearly part of the promised covenant with the Jews while Shavuot is not a holy convocation in the New Testament for the church. The idea that the church is raptured on a day that is not a holy convocation while the two witnesses start their ministry on a day that is not a holy convocation for the Jews (50 days later would be Pentecost, but that was not part of the Old Covenant) and they ascend on a day that is not a holy convocation. How would the Jews know that their ministry was for them?

However, if the ministry of the two witnesses begins on Hanukkah in 2024 42 months later (1,260 days) would land on Shavuot in 2028. This means their ministry could begin at the same time that the Antichrist is revealed (December 25th -- Christmas) and on a Jewish Holiday depicting the rededication of the Temple, very fitting for the beginning of the tribulation.

Jesus said the Jews would not see Him again until they said "blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord". When the two witnesses are killed their bodies lie in the street of Jerusalem for three days while being live streamed around the world because people want to see if they will rise or not. Three days later they do rise, therefore I expect that prior to this some in Jerusalem and Israel did say "blessed is He that comes. in the name of the Lord". Israel was reformed May 14, 1948. Jesus said this generation will not pass away until all these things be fulfilled. Therefore if many in Israel did say "Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord" concerning Jesus on the 2nd Passover, and then the two witnesses were arrested, tried, and executed we could have three feasts fulfilled by their ministry: Hanukkah, 2nd Passover, and Shavuot. In Shavuot you have two loaves of leavened bread waved before the Lord. During the First First fruit when Jesus was raised you waved a sheaf of barley. Two leavened loaves indicates the flour has been ground, the bread made and it has leaven which indicates the traditions of the New Testament church. That seems like a better depiction of the resurrection of the two witnesses.

1,260 days after this event would be November 13, 2031. According to the Torah calendar that is a month after the Feast of Tabernacles. However, the Bible says that the calendars will be distorted but seedtime and harvest will be constants. Everyone knows that not all the crops have been harvested by October 8. October 31 is a Celtic harvest festival established about 400 years ago, and November 27th 2031 is Thanksgiving, a harvest festival established in the US about a hundred years ago. It seems to me that November 13, 2031 may very well be a more accurate harvest festival. November 13th, 2031 is also a new moon.

Now suppose the Two witnesses ministry begins on Hanukkah (Dec 25, 2024) and it was 40 days after the rapture. Then the rapture would be on Nov 15th, which is a Full Moon. This coincides with Proverbs saying the Lord returns on the appointed day (which could also be interpreted full moon). It would coincide with Jeremiah saying summer is past and we are not saved. It would coincide with Amos saying that God would turn the songs of their festivals into a dirge. It would coincide with all of the types and parables indicating that the rapture is during the harvest season.

November 15th is a Friday, so it coincides with Jesus being crucified on Good Friday, as the apostate church would then be "crucified". Three days of darkness could end on the Lord's day. This could then be followed by ten days of a communications blackout where the US government keeps pushing an account of the treason and crimes that took place the last 8 years and then leave everyone with Thanksgiving. The Lord told us that those who are left behind will be in the outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. That indicates they are given a heaping double portion of "I told you so" by God where they can reflect on all their mistakes.

I was asked the following questions (1)

1. The present culture has normalized gender fluidity and the associated

pronouns. How should Christians engage the culture of this issue?

I was teaching High School in Brooklyn when one of the teachers announced he was no longer “Mr” but wanted to be called “Mx”. I had no idea what that meant, but since he didn’t want to be called Mr I never used that for him again. Instead I referred to him by his first name. That is how I would have treated anyone in that job whether a colleague or a student. No one can require that I call them some bizarre pronoun. But everyone has the right to be called by their name without any hint of insult. When I was in graduate school I changed my name, instead of going by my first name I went by my middle name. So I know how I wanted to be treated and I treat others the same.

Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

When I first got saved I had a roommate in college who asked me why I didn’t refer to him as a believer since he was in the Baptist church. I told him he was living in sin and the judgment of someone claiming to be a Christian who is living in sin is that they have sold their birthright, so it is better if he were an unbeliever. We do not wink at sin, we do not encourage or enable sinners to sin, but at the same time we do not intentionally provoke or offend others.

Hebrews 12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

But in my opinion all these things are trivial when talking about engaging the culture on this issue. What isn’t trivial is how you raise your children. It has become very clear to me, a public school teacher, that Christians must teach their children.

Exodus 18:20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

The world is trying to get your children between TV and Public school parents have no chance. Therefore I believe all genuine Christian parents must homeschool their children in Elementary school.

Ephesians 6:2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

If you allow your children to be raised by the world with their TV, their movies and their school system they will be taught to curse their mother and father.

 

[ZNP]

I was asked the following questions (2)

2. Does this scripture used by gender neutrality advocates support gender neutrality?

Gal. 3:28 (NLT) 28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free,

male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

First of all this verse does not apply to anyone that is not in Christ Jesus. So this should not be applied to the world, to the public school, to your job or in any other way when you “engage the culture”. The context is very clear, all those who have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. This is similar to a policeman putting on a uniform. Once the policeman puts on the uniform they are no longer a Jewish cop or Gentile cop, they are simply a NYC cop. Nor does it matter if their parents were slave or free, either way they are still a NYC cop and that same if they are male or female. You don’t get to ignore a ticket given to you by a female cop. As far as the law is concerned you got a ticket from a NYC cop.

The context of this chapter and this book is

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Galatians 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

No, the appropriate verse that you should apply is

Matthew 19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

A eunuch was a person who guarded the bedchamber of a monarch who had many wives. He was castrated before getting this job. In the Old Testament a man who was castrated was not permitted to come into the temple, but here the Lord is making it clear that “the violent take the kingdom by force”. We are to crucify the flesh with the passions and lusts and for some that requires chemical castration. Once you have been castrated you are “gender neutral” and by all means the New Testament, both Jesus and Paul support doing this “for the kingdom of heaven’s sake”.

When I first got baptized I had a significant collection of rock and roll albums. The Lord revealed to me that they were idolatrous. So I went to the elders and told them I wanted to burn the albums. They asked if I couldn’t just put them in the dumpster. I said that people would pull them out of the dumpster and since these were idolatrous they should be burned just like those magic books in the book of Acts. So we went to the parking lot, got a garbage can, filled them with the albums and burned them. That is how I understand “the violent take the kingdom by force”. We don’t play with sin.

I was asked the following questions (3)

3. Is it hypocritical for local Churches and Christians to be anti-pop culture while

using and benefiting from the exposure and reach of pop-culture specifically

social media?

I used to be active on Facebook, but one day I was suspended for thirty days. They did not tell me what the offending post was nor did they tell me what rule I broke. There was no way for me to adjust my posts. Since all of my posts were related to the Bible I understood they just wanted me to stop posting about the Bible. So I deleted my account that same day. I understood that Facebook was not receiving Christians.

Luke 10:10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, 11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

I consider it shameful for any Church or pastor to allow Facebook to dictate what you can and cannot say.

Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

During the Pandemic I started a blog on a “Christian” forum called “scripture references on the rapture”. They also suspended my account and just like Facebook they didn’t tell me what my offense was nor did they tell me what the offending post was. There was nothing I could do to adjust or correct my behavior. So I also concluded I was no longer welcome there. I deleted my account and moved to another Christian forum where I continued my blog. I now have 415,000 readers. I felt like Isaac having to dig well after well until I found a place. Facebook has the right to tell me what I can and cannot say on their site. But they don’t have the right to tell me what I can and cannot say. If they don’t welcome me in their “city” then I will shake off the dust and move to another city until the gospel is preached throughout the entire world.

The reason I am “anti pop culture” is because I am anti sin and corruption. I heard the testimony of someone in the record business and he said that every single album that you buy from the music industry has been “charmed” by their witchcraft. Would you accept a gift from a witch that she has charmed into your home? Would you give such a gift to your child? The same is true of the movie industry.

2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

I was asked the following questions (4)

4. Why is it important for Christians to engage with the culture rather than

withdraw from or condemn it?

1 Corinthians 9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

Hudson Taylor preached the gospel in China and he adopted their clothes and hair style. He felt that anything that was not sinful he would adopt. By doing that he showed the Chinese he wasn’t trying to convert their culture, rather he was bringing a gospel that was universal to all. However, he was preaching the gospel. No one was brought to the Lord because of the clothes he was wearing or his ponytail. They were brought to the Lord by the word of God.

Matthew 7:15 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? 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. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

I am in the Gideon’s ministry. I joined this ministry in 2022. In the last two years I have been involved in handing out approximately 100,000 bibles. I have heard many testimonies of salvation, through this ministry. On the other hand while at a church in NYC for twenty years I helped with two plays a year. The amount of labor involved in putting on these two plays is probably equivalent or more than the amount of labor the Gideons in this city do each year. But what is the fruit? We keep a careful accounting of the fruit of our ministry and we have a website that collects testimonies from everyone involved. For twenty years I wondered what was the fruit from those plays? I never heard one testimony from someone who was saved through them or who was brought into the church because of them. Nor was I ever helped to witness by being involved in them.

We were all given a commission to be witnesses of the Lord and we will all have to give an account of that. It is not for me to judge another man’s servant, so how you carry out your mission to be a witness is between you and the Lord. But for me, in my experience, the plays we put on did not help me accomplish that mission, while the Gideons ministry has.

I have come to realize that our witness is valuable whether or not someone receives the Bible. Either way, you fulfilled your mission. For every Bible we hand out there are at least two people who decline. That means we have witnessed to 300,000 people in the last two years and we are only about 20 old men with their wives. In addition to that we speak at churches and I have probably been involved in speaking to a thousand or even two thousand believers to encourage them in the work of the gospel.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Matthew 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

So what does this mean? The context is paying the price to give all for the Lord. So as I asked "what does this mean" I immediately thought of Tom Brady. When it comes to quarterbacks he was not first, he barely got drafted and then he barely was able to stay on the team. But today he is arguably the greatest quarterback in NFL history. He was clearly "last" and he became "first". The same is true of Michael Jordan, but you have to go back to high school when he was cut from the team. The same is true of Wayne Gretsky but you have to go back to when he was six and trying out for the ten year old team (youngest little league in Canada). In each case it was a turning point for them. Tom Brady said he knew nothing good happens when the ball is in his hands so he focused on getting it out of his hands as soon as possible. Michael Jordan went home crushed but his parents told him to work out all year and come back better and stronger than ever. With Gretsky for many years he was smaller and slower than everyone else on the team so his goal was how to get them the puck and how to weave around without getting hit. For all of them the lesson was the same, if you want something bad enough then you need to work harder than anyone else and use wisdom to overcome the obstacles.

The main reasons why I think 2024 is the year of the rapture

1. Daniel talks about the 70th week, a shemitah, or a seven year period. I would expect that the 70th week would begin on Rosh Hashanah, and I would also believe it begins on the first year of a shemitah cycle.

1917, 1967 and 2017 can safely be said to be jubilee years because on those three years official declarations were made that Jerusalem belongs to the Jews. A Jubilee year is the first year in a Shemitah cycle, so then

1917-1923 was a Shemitah. 1967-1973 was a Shemitah, and 2017-2023 was a Shemitah.

That means that 2024 is the first year of a Shemitah. So then if the 70th week does not begin this year then I would think you need to wait another 7 years.

Then of course, you expect on the first day of the Shemitah the UN confirms the covenant with the many, and on October 2 they confirmed the Pact for the Future. This covenant has been described as the biggest and most world changing covenant that the UN has ever passed.

Now if this is indeed the time of the rapture I expect that Jerusalem would be surrounded with enemies since the Lord told us when you see Jerusalem surrounded look up, your redemption draws nigh. Sure enough Israel tells us they are being attacked from 7 sides. That is "surrounded" by my definition.

Also, if you look at the Lord's prophecy about this generation shall not pass away until all these things be fulfilled this can still fit with a generation being 70 years, 80 if it is strong (rebellious). But seven years from now that would not fit.

Also, if the 70th week starts in 2024 the Lord's return for Israel can still be 2,000 years after He left when He ascended like it says in Hosea. But again, if you wait seven years for this to start then it does not fit.

A word about Hell

I have tried to reconcile a God of love and mercy with eternal hell. It seemed excessive to me. Why would they suffer eternally? But then I heard some NDE about hell and it struck me, when they see people in hell they immediately know who they are and why they are there and their message is a warning to others. It seems to me that hell is like a museum showing you all the people who wound up there and why and also where the road they chose took them.

This seems reasonable. Hell is not just about the person suffering, it is much more about warning others and educating others to the pitfalls and errors you can make.

For example, I have learned a lot from people who were very successful like Tom Brady. But whereas he was a last draft pick, he was the "last becoming first", you can also learn about those who were first and became last. Think about Michael Vick. He had tremendous talent compared to Brady. With Brady teams were not worried about him running. You could rush him with 3 men and put 8 men out into pass protection covering five people. That is almost double coverage on every eligible receiver. But with Vick you couldn't do that. You needed a bare minimum of six men to guard against the run and even that would give him all kinds of opportunities. That means man coverage on the other five. If the other five go to one side of the field and he breaks free of the pass rush he could run for forty yards. Having Vick was like having a great running game and a great passing game guaranteed. So how come he didn't win Superbowls? How come he winds up in prison? Don't you want to know that just as much as why someone was successful, why was someone else not successful?

The Bible says we are not ignorant of Satan's devices. Why? In my High school science class I would put up a picture of this woman. It was a side by side comparison of her, the two pictures were three years apart. In one she was young, attractive, and healthy. In the other she looked like she had aged 40 years, missing teeth, looked horrible. She had been hooked on Meth. Many housewives were using it to help them get all their housework done. I didn't talk about the picture unless the students asked, but it was up there at the front of the class for the entire year. Why do I do that? I want to warn them of the dangers of what happens if you take that path, but I don't want to come across as preachy. Many classes never asked, but I feel certain they all knew. The word gets out, one kid finds out and tells all the other kids.

I also had a print of a Norman Rockwell painting as well. Why? Norman Rockwell was a high school dropout. Norman Rockwell did not go to college, instead he went to art school. The point is they don't have to take a traditional route that everyone else tells them they must take. Again, I don't tell them why that picture is there, unless they ask.

But which picture do you want to be? The guy who had everything, took a wrong turn and ended up in hell? Or the guy everyone thought would be a failure and ended up as the "GOAT"? Don't listen to those who say "a God of love and mercy would not allow for a Hell". Yes, a God of love and mercy who gave you a free will certainly would have a hell as a warning. He would tell you about it which Jesus did. He would have his witnesses tell you about it which they have. But He would give you the free will to choose the path you want to take.

Lord Jesus we pray for Donald Trump, we thank You for this election and all that You have done to raise him up, but Lord we do know that the US has sinned, they have rebelled against You and You are going to correct and discipline this nation. So we lift up Donald Trump that he might be saved and come to know You the only true God and to bring forth fruit worthy of repentance. We pray that he could be an instrument in Your hands to bring healing to this land. Lord we pray that Donald Trump would be wise and fear You and serve You. His heart is in Your hands, so Lord we ask You would direct him in the way he should go. Lord Jesus we pray be a shield for those that put their trust in You, guard their course and protect their way. Lord Jesus we pray you would use Trump to thwart the plans of the globalists and to foil their attempts to bring the Christians of this nation under the control of their rule. Lord Jesus be greatly exalted as all see that You are the one on the throne far above all the kings of the nations. May Donald Trump bow to You and serve You. We pray that You would give the President wisdom to surround himself with counselors who have our country’s best interest at heart. Grant them wisdom to advise the President in the course of action he should take. We pray that You would surround our President with sound, wise counsel to direct him as he leads our nation.

Lord we confess that you made man upright and yet they have sought out many schemes. They have tried to make injustice legal. They plot against good people and sentence innocent people to prison. And so we pray You would remember Your promise in Your word: Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression, to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey! They have accepted bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice. You promised that what they have done in secret would be shouted from the housetop.

Lord we also pray concerning the media's attempt to divide the nation and fill it with hate. Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. We pray You would also step in to bring this crooked speech and devious talk down. Lord Jesus remember the promise in your word: Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

Lord Jesus we pray you would give Trump wisdom in how to expose and prosecute the hands that are skilled in doing evil; and the rulers who demands gifts, and the judges that accept bribes, the powerful dictate what they desire—they all conspire together. Give him divine wisdom on how to bring the entire evil conspiracy down.

Lord Jesus, remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins. Your word promised us that the wicked would not go unpunished but the righteous would go free. May all those who have pursued evil find death according to Your word. Lord Jesus we pray that the light of Your word would shine in this darkness and that the darkness would be put to an open shame. We pray that every knee would bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Lord Jesus we thank you for the riches of Your kindness in leading us to repentance and we pray you would lead Trump to repentance as well.

All these many things we ask and pray in the Precious name of Jesus Christ, Lord of All, standing on the blood He has shed for us that we could come before the throne of grace for timely help. Amen and Amen.

Baptism -- Why it is essential

The word means to be immersed.

1. Being immersed into the Triune God is what transforms us into His image

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Vine's word study says "baptism," consisting of the processes of immersion, submersion and emergence"

From the moment we get saved we need to be immersed and submerged into the Triune God. That is the word of God, the fellowship of the believers, praise, worship, thanksgiving, and the meeting of the saints. Take a look at many kids today, they spend on average 4.5-9 hours a day on their phone. They'll spend hours playing video games. Screen time can include both video games and watching videos, the average for a teenager is 7.5 hours a day. That is what immersion is. They are immersed into a corrupt worldly system and it is pickling them to be conformed to the world. Baptism is to come out of that corrupt influence and to be immersed into the Triune God so that He can reconstitute you.

This is what happens with petrified wood. It is immersed into a pool that is saturated with silicon. Molecule by molecule the silicon replaces the carbon in the wood. As a result the wood will be transformed into petrified wood. It becomes a stone, like Peter became a stone. This only happens if you are immersed. Otherwise the wood will decay and rot.

However, Jesus is baptized of John the Baptist at the start of His ministry. He had already been immersed into the Triune God for his entire life and He was fully constituted of the triune God. So being baptized is not simply being immersed it is also "coming up out of the water". Think of Israel crossing the red sea. Prior to crossing they were like a large cow covered with parasites, the Egyptian army, but when they passed through the red sea all those parasites came off of them and died. This process of baptism removes all traces of Satanic influence on your life.

2. Being immersed into the death of Christ is what rids us of Satanic influence

Matthew 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. 23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

Drinking the cup is the bitter dregs of being reviled, rejected, scorned, insulted, slandered, and treated as an evil criminal. The Baptism was His death. Crucifixion is a baptism. When you die to your self and to your flesh it kills all those parasites from Satan. That is what they feed on, your self and your flesh. I was once asked by a brother in the church if I heard all the people mocking and snickering at me. My response was "I am hard of hearing". Satan cannot get a foothold in your life if you have died to self and flesh. My dad once told me "out of mind, out of sight". Meaning if your mind is set on the spirit you will not see the things that might trigger your flesh and your self.

3. Being baptized into His death is what manifests the Lord in us, the hope of glory

John 1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

Think about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. That was what we call "baptism by fire". But it manifested who he was. When Satan comes to provoke you by putting you through a trial like this it will manifest whether or not you have truly died to self and sin.

The Acts of the Apostles talks more about baptism than any other book.

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

If you repent of your former life, perhaps you were a thief or a drug addict and now you are a Christian but there is no baptism. You still spend 8 hours a day immersed in the world on your phone and you have not died to self or flesh. If this is the case you will not express Jesus, you will express your flesh and your self. You will be offended, your pride will be ugly, there will be brothers and sisters you have a problem with, and secretly you will still indulge your flesh. In the book of Acts they understood it was not sufficient to simply acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord and you are a sinner. No, they don't count anyone saved until they are also immersed.

DNA and the Devil?

Ezekiel 25:1 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;

The previous chapter talked about the apostasy prior to the rapture and how the prophets of Baal will be killed. This chapter turns to Ammonites and Moabites, the children of incest with Lot. I would characterize them as a shadow of organized Christianity. The prophets of Baal are the Freemasons who have infiltrated Christianity, while the children of Lot represent organized Christianity and the major denominations.

3 And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;

This is what we are seeing right now, a whole bunch of people on Christian forums presenting themselves as Christians yet openly being against Israel. They justify this with some strange doctrine about how the book of revelation was fulfilled in 70AD.

4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. You think it is OK for what they did to Israel, great they will do the same thing to you.

5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couching place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 6 For thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel; 7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

Blessed are those that bless Israel and cursed are those that curse Israel. God could not have been any clearer.
