Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

The appointed time

Habakkuk 2:3 (NASB-95)
“For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; for it will certainly come, it will not delay.

Obviously we need to know what this term "appointed time" means.

מוֹעֵד môwʻêd, mo-ade'; or מֹעֵד môʻêd; or (feminine) מוֹעָדָה môwʻâdâh; (2 Chronicles 8:13), from H3259; properly, an appointment, i.e. a fixed time or season; specifically, a festival; conventionally a year; by implication, an assembly (as convened for a definite purpose); technically the congregation; by extension, the place of meeting; also a signal (as appointed beforehand):—appointed (sign, time), (place of, solemn) assembly, congregation, (set, solemn) feast, (appointed, due) season, solemn(-ity), synogogue, (set) time (appointed).

The context of this verse is the judgement that comes at the Day of the Lord.

If we were to look on the Hebrew calendar for an appointed time designated for the judgment to come on the Jews it would clearly be the 9th of Av.

If we want an appointed time for the Sanctuary to be cleansed and ready for the coming of the King that would be the Feast of Trumpets. Daniel tells us it takes 2300 days to cleanse the Sanctuary so 2300 days prior to the Feast of trumpets would be Shavuot. This would be the ideal appointed time for the cleansing to begin.

The judgement comes to the jews when the two witnesses are killed and then three days later they rise. Since their ministry is 1,260 days if we subtract that from the 9th of Av in 2028 we would arrive at Feb 17, 2025, a very plausible time for the ministry of the two witnesses to begin.

We are told that Jesus as the greater David will reign in Hebron (heaven) for 7 1/2 years (7 years and six months) before coming to Jerusalem. The Lord coming to Jerusalem would correlate nicely with Hosea 6:2 when He raises them up. A nice day on the Jewish calendar for Jesus to raise up the Jews out of the graves and put an end to the curse is the 15th of Av, the Jewish Valentine's day. If we subtract 90 months from the 15th of Av in 2032 we arrive at Feb 14th, 2025, the Gentile's Valentine's day. This is an appointed day and would be an ideal day to let the apostate church know that the Lord has loved those that get raptured on that day.

Clearing up confusion over the timing of the Day of the Lord

There is a lot of debate over when Jesus was crucified, but we don't have to focus on that date, we can instead focus on the 9th of Av in 70 AD, the day that the temple was cast down. That is a precise date we can use.

There is also a lot of debate on how to calculate 40 jubilees, whether it is 1,961 years or 2,000 years. But we don't have to do that either. Instead we know exactly how to calculate the period of time of forgiveness, it is 70x7.

Since the gospel has gone out to the N, S, E and W we can calculate 70x7x4 = 1,960 years of forgiveness. Add that to 70 AD and you get 2030 being the last year of this forgiveness followed by Armageddon in 2031.

If Armageddon is in 2031 then the 70th week begins in 2024. October 2, 2024 was when the Pact for the Future was passed by the UN confirming and strenthening the seven year covenant Agenda 2030 which had been voted on one year earlier in 2023.

The Sixth seal is the rapture -- Implications

There are a number of people on youtube who have done an excellent job of confirming that the sixth seal is the rapture and that Jesus opened the scroll when He ascended to heaven shortly after having been crucified and resurrected from the dead. This does not mean that you can't also see the Antichrist and the things he will do in Revelation 4 and 5 because the Antichrist is a counterfeit christ. He is a copy cat. But the reality is what the Lord has done for the last two thousand years.

So let's consider the implications this has on the first five seals. Especially with regards to these two questions:

Why are these five seals sealing up the mystery hid from the ages and the generations? Why does opening these seals reveal that Jesus Christ is Lord of all and that we are joint heirs with Him?

I am going to use a football team to illustrate these five points.

1. Before any team can get on the field they must first select their players. We know that because we have chosen Jesus we are saved. This is clearly the first seal. Think of how many great players, hall of fame players were overlooked. Tom Brady, Joe Montana and Kurt Warner come immediately to mind. Being able to select players is critical. The best example of this was explained in the movie Moneyball where they built an entire team from cast offs that other teams were not properly valuing.

2. The second seal is war. We have an expression, to the victor goes the spoils. We also say "if you want to be the best you have to beat the best". Jesus is not simply the best player, He is the best general. He is leading all of us to victory. Every member of the body is fitted into place by the Lord, we all have a function, and together we become an army with banners. When you play the Boston Celtics the rafters are filled with banners of their previous championships. When you go against a player like Brady he has "rings" from his previous championships. In order for the Lord to be Lord of all He needs to lead His army to victory.

3. Then you have what we usually refer to as the black horse of famine. But this is how fortunes are made, someone corners the market in some commodity that then doubles, triples and quadruples in price. In the great depression 90% of the people lost money, but 10% built their wealth through that. This is the basic principle of buy low and sell high. We are told clearly in the Bible that a famine is coming, not for food, but for the word of God. Right now you can buy up the word of God for next to nothing, but the day is coming when it will be seen as the most precious commodity on earth. Think about the foolish virgins. They were foolish because they could have easily filled their vessels with oil at a discount, but they didn't. They lived their life borrowing oil from others. But without that oil they aren't getting into the wedding feast so now it has become precious and will cost them everything they have. Bill Belichick used this strategy to win football games. His strategy was to take away your favorite plays on offense. He can't take away everything, so he picks the one thing that is the teams bread and butter and takes it away.

4. Then we have the pale green horse of the plague. The black plague, the Bubonic plague, the 1918 flu, these things are horrible. But by far the worst example of a "plague" wiping everyone out was Noah's flood. According to the Bible the plague is God's judgment and Noah's flood was God's judgment. For those who mocked and ridiculed God and Noah, it was terrible. But for Noah and his family it paved the way for him to inherit the earth and for the earth to be cleansed of all the corruption, idolatry and occult practices. This wasn't luck. Noah spent a great deal of time and effort building that ark that would carry them through the flood. Nor was this selfish, they saved all the animals and they preached the gospel to any who would listen. This is what separates the greats from the also rans. What do you do when things don't go your way? You have Larry Bird stealing the inbounds pass from Isaiah Thomas to feed the ball for a game winning layup. You have Tom Brady leading the Patriots to victory over the Falcons after being down 28-3 in the middle of the third quarter. If you have the best players and the best coach it is no great thing to win the game. But what do you do if your stars are sick or hurt? Can you win with the second string? Can your rookie cornerback intercept the ball in the end zone against Seattle to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat?

These four horses are how fortunes are made and how victors become victors. They are like four fingers on your hand, but the thumb is the fifth seal. Many fortunes are made by crooks, thieves, liars and murderers. In order to be Lord of all and to build the kingdom on righteousness those crooks and murderers and thieves need to be exposed, prosecuted and convicted.

This is the church age. This is what the Lord is doing and by opening these five seals He is revealing that He is Lord of Lords, He is king of kings, every knee will bow to Him and every tongue will confess that He is Lord.

Esther & the 3 Days of Darkness Dream 1-17-25@3:18 AM Shared 1-31-25

 

[ZNP]

Please tell me, what Bible prophecy this event does fulfill?

I have shared that Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled on October 2, 2024 when the UN approved the Pact for the Future and as a result the seventieth week has begun. Now many people disagree with me. I don't care about that, we don't have to all agree, and I don't even care that much about how nasty some of the disagreement has been.

No, what bothers me is this: when the UN voted for Israel to become a nation again everyone agrees that was a big fulfillment of prophecy. That is considered one of the biggest fulfillments of Biblical prophecy in all of human history. Definitely makes everyone's top ten list. Now this Pact for the Future is an even bigger UN vote than that. It can be considered the biggest theft in all of human history. In this one vote, under the guise of making Agenda 2030 stronger, the UN has voted to change their role from advisors to rulers in one fell swoop. You can hardly find anyone even talking about the implication, but it is staggering. The best way to describe it is while everyone slept they rewrote the rules on the side of the barn and now the pigs have taken the place of the farmer. Do you see? OK, you don't think this is the fulfillment of Daniel 9:27, fine, but surely the Bible must talk about this event. Revelation talks about one world government and this is the single biggest event that moves us to a one world government and it took place on the Feast of Trumpets. So then, please tell me, what Bible prophecy this event does fulfill?

Everyone has the right to their opinion, fine. But if you tell me point blank that this is not the fulfillment of Daniel 9:27 then surely you must know what it is, so by all means, enlighten us.

The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

Matthew 21:28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

These are two children of God. They are both born again.

29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. 31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

You can be a son of God, all of us have been told by the Lord that we are witnesses and are to go and work in the field. It could be evangelism, it could be preaching the word, grinding the grain at the mill to make bread for the Lord's people, planting, watering, or reaping. But not all believers are doing the will of God, not all are faithful to the Lord to do what He has asked us. So there is a reward to those who do the will of God, they go into the kingdom of God first. That is the first rapture.

32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

If you are a spectator Christian who sits in the pew and lets others do all the witnessing, watering, feeding and reaping then this parable is for you. On the other hand if you have taken the Lord's charge to heart and are doing His will, then this parable should be an encouragement to you.

33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

This is another parable, we are not talking about the same people. In the first parable the son says he will go out into the field and doesn't, in this parable these people are thieves and murderers. We are talking about someone who is quite different.

35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

This is what the religious leaders have done to both Jews and Christians.

36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.

Religion helps to cover sins. Mafia bosses give money to the church, they make it very public, and so the community views them as someone who is "good". Religion acts like the PR firm for sinners to cleanse their public image.

37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.

When the religious leaders crucified Jesus they knew He was the Messiah. Think about that. God knows the thoughts and intents of the heart, so think about what He is telling us in this parable.

39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

This is where we are today. The rapture is like the fire falling on the burnt offering that Elijah put on the altar. After the fire fell what did they do? They took the 400 prophets of Baal and slew them.

42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

How you treat Jesus is how you are treated. If you reject Jesus as the chief cornerstone then you will be rejected from the building.

43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

Do you realize what is being said here? The kingdom of God will be taken from those who think they have it and given to those who are faithful to bring forth the fruits of it. This is clearly talking about the apostasy of Christianity.

44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Either you will be broken, confess your sins, repent and put your trust in the Lord, or else you will be ground into powder. Think of someone who lived in the Palisades, they owned a six million dollar home with a swimming pool and a beautiful view of the ocean. They had it all, they laughed at Christians. Now that has all gone up in smoke, everything they thought they had is now gone. They aren't stupid, they realize this was a land grab and the people they thought were their friends have stuck the knife in their back to get their property at a fraction of the cost. You come to the end of your life and realize the world is a bunch of lying, backstabbing thieves. You were told this by the Christians, you mocked and ridiculed them, but now you know they told you the truth. Your choice, you can be broken or you can be ground to powder.

45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

Hey this is not my interpretation that this is about the religious leaders, even the Chief Priests and Pharisees see themselves in this parable.

46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

The rapture in the book of Esther

Esther 6:6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?

7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,

8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:

9 And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.

10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.

11 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.

What we see here is the same thing we see with Daniel in chapter 5 when he interprets the writing on the wall. This is where the rapture takes place.

Immediately after this we see Haman exposed and slain on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai.

Esther 8:1 On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.

This is like when the Man Child is caught up to heaven and Satan and the fallen angels are cast out. Also it is like Daniel because after Daniel is honored Babylon is overthrown. But we learn that Haman being killed does not put an end to the persecution of the Jews and this is like what we see with the tribulation saints who are left behind. They also must fight.

Purim is celebrated on the 13th of Adar, the day the Jews were supposed to be executed. However, Mordecai being honored and replacing Haman takes place weeks before that, maybe even a month. After replacing Haman they got the King to write a new decree that the Jews were to take a stand and fight for their survival, this decree is sent out to every corner of the province by mules. People must have been notified at least a week before the 13th of Adar, and it probably took a week for the decree to get out to the furthest corners of the province. So we can imagine at the very least Mordecai replaces Haman two weeks prior to Purim, maybe even a month before. Purim is not a picture of the rapture, it is a picture of the tribulation saints taking a stand against the mark of the beast and the threat of being beheaded on the gallows. The picture of the rapture is when Esther and Mordecai replace Haman a month earlier.

We were warned, this should not surprise us

Titus 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

This is Youtube in a nutshell.

Titus 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Think about all the people who try and despise you online when you speak the word of God. Don't let them.

 

[ZNP]

I received an email that raised a number of issues with my theory that the 2300 days in Daniel 8 refers to a period of intense tribulation during the 70th week in Daniel. I am going to address some of the concerns in this post. The email was long and raised a number of issues so this is not a comprehensive post on the email since a comprehensive post would likely be too long for a single post.

1. He says that the the start of the 2300 days is a result of the "rebellion which causes desolation". I agree with that, after all that is what the Bible says. The question of course is what is this rebellion that causes desolation. I would argue that Agenda 2030 and the Pact for the Future are a rebellion. This is the UN seizing power. The US fought a revolutionary war to become an independent nation. But the Pact for the Future gives the UN governing authority, not just over the US but over every nation on earth, in the event of a worldwide crisis like Covid 19.

Rebellion is an act of violent or open resistance to an established government or ruler. That is precisely what the Pact for the future is. It is an act of open resistance to every single established government on earth.

This rebellion causes desolation. Think about Caesar Nero, he wanted some land, the owners wouldn't sell, he burned it to the ground and kept the fire department from putting it out. That is desolation. We have seen the same thing in Lahaina and Los Angeles. Many theorize this is a land grab because the globalists want to build 15 minute cities.

What we are witnessing on earth is globalists in the UN engineering a rebellion and they are also causing desolation to aid them in their rebellion.

But the 2300 days has not started yet. According to Daniel it takes 2300 days to cleanse the sanctuary. The day of the Lord is a period of time where Jesus cleanses the sanctuary for His return. This means he will be removing idolaters, sorcerers, thieves, liars, murderers, etc. This is what many, including the Lord Jesus refer to as the great tribulation. However, in Revelation when God pours out His wrath that is called the great tribulation and it begins at the midpoint of the seven years. Three and a half years is only 1,277 days, so calling the 2300 days "the great tribulation" is confusing since the term "the great tribulation" in the book of Revelation is a shorter period of time.

So at this point no real disagreement.

2. But then he says "the abomination is when the rapture happens".

Again, I don't disagree that following the rapture we will have the 2300 days start. But there are many problems with saying the two take place at the same time or within days of each other.

No verse is of its own interpretation. We have many verses in the Bible that describe the rapture, all of them must fit. It is like a jigsaw puzzle with 1,000 pieces. You can't solve the puzzle if you have a few pieces that don't fit.

So then the first question I have is when does the 2300 days start and when does it end? If you cleanse the sanctuary when you are finished the temple is cleansed and is ready for the Holy Spirit to indwell it. Surely this must be after Armageddon and prior to the Day of Atonement, Judgement day. Paul told us in Colossians that these days on the Jewish calendar are a shadow of things to come. The Feast of Trumpets is the day you announce the coming of the king. Before a king or President were to come to visit the place must be prepared. In this email he did not present any Biblical reason to disagree with this.

If we subtract 2300 days from the Feast of Trumpets it puts us on Shavuot a little more than six years earlier (Shavuot is in June, Feast of Trumpets is usually in September). Shavuot is a special day on the calendar when God gives the law to the Jews. We are told clearly in Psalms that the only way we can cleanse our way is with the word of God. So it makes sense that if you are going to cleanse the sanctuary, and no doubt from the New Testament that refers to man's heart, then we must have the word of God.

The problem is that there are many problems with saying that the rapture is on Shavuot.

1. Jesus said no one knows the day or the hour. But He said that to Jews who all knew the day and hour of Shavuot.

2. Paul told us in Colossians that we are not to let anyone judge us with regards to the keeping of a Holy day, which was a dress rehearsal for things to come. If Shavuot is a dress rehearsal for our rapture then it seems the New Testament would encourage us to keep that dress rehearsal, but Paul makes it clear that day is not something we need to keep. It is a shadow of things to come, just not a shadow of our rapture.

3. Jeremiah says that "the summer is over and the harvest is past and we are not saved". This sounds like a direct reference to those who are left behind. However, Shavuot is in the middle of the harvest season and it is in the summer.

4. Jesus refers to the crucifixion as a seed being planted that will spring up and bring forth fruit a hundredfold. The crucifixion was right at the start of the planting season. He refers to the rapture as a reaping of the harvest. Revelation uses terms like firstfruits, gleanings, and harvest. Jesus talked about the wheat and the tares being harvested. Jesus never said that we would not know the season of the harvest and by all accounts the season is after the harvest.

5. Ruth is a picture of the gentile bride being married to Boaz, a type of Christ. This is after the harvest is over.

6. Proverbs says that the good man returns with a bag of money on the appointed day, referring to a full moon. Shavuot is not on a full moon. In fact the previous full moon is about three weeks earlier.

I could go on, if you simply quote all the references to the rapture being a harvest you would get at least ten verses in both the Old and New Testament. So I agree that the 2300 days begins after the rapture, just not immediately after. After the rapture the Antichrist will be revealed, and then he will push the need for a digital currency to maintain order as the rapture will coincide with the Fall of Babylon the Great and the whole world will be on the verge of economic collapse. This is a process that could easily take a few months. At first it will be voluntary, but when Christians refuse to take the mark of the beast it will become obligatory under pain of death. I think one way you can view the demand to take the mark of the beast and worship the Beast or else be beheaded is that this is the Lord cleansing the sanctuary of idolatry. Yes, this is the Antichrist doing it, but like Satan, he can do nothing without the Lord allowing it.

But this is where the two of us really do have a disagreement.

3. He says the mark of the Beast in Revelation 14 is specifically referring to the 144,000 which are sealed at the start of Revelation 14. I disagree, I believe that this is a reference to people on the earth during the tribulation, the 144,000 are all raptured prior to this taking place. I see the 144,000 as a heavenly evangelism team during the tribulation. After they are sealed they will be the Lord's army to help those who are left behind. As the Lord has promised, He will not leave nor forsake any of us.

So I believe Revelation 14 begins with the rapture and then about halfway down in the chapter you see the people being threatened with the mark of the beast and being beheaded if they refuse and losing any chance for salvation if they take it.

I believe that begins at Shavuot because the Mark of the Beast is likened to the number of His name put on people's foreheads whereas Shavuot when we were given the word of God the Jews were to put that word on their forehead. Satan is a copycat, he is a counterfeit, and the Mark of the Beast is a counterfeit as well and the shadow of that is seen on Shavuot.

 

[ZNP]

I am still going through the email and it seems to me I have answered many of the objections, but one of them that I have not addressed yet is this one:

I think you can confirm from the Bible that Jesus ascended to the heavens on Shavuot and that is the day that He opened the scroll.

His response:

No, No, No, you can’t just say you can confirm something when you really can’t. That can be deceiving to people who don’t really know the truth and take your word for it. That’s not me; I know the truth and can recognize deception. Here is a lengthy cut of scripture to prove your false assumption. In brief, Jesus ascended 40-days after He arose from the grave and Shavuot, which is Pentecost, is 50-days after. So, the Holy Spirit arrived on Shavuot, 10-days after Jesus arose. That makes all your subtracting from Shavuot a moot point. As for opening the scroll, the slain Lamb became worthy to break the seals and open the scrolls when he was crucified (Rev 5), not when He ascended after forty days. In fact, the 1st Seal is the resurrection (Jesus on the White Horse) on the 3rd day after the crucifixion, way before the ascension.

This is the traditional Christianity view, it is based on a verse in Acts that says Jesus appeared to the disciples 40 times before His ascension.

Acts 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

The word translated "days" here is generally understood as a 24 hour period, though it could be translated as times. You could translate this as Jesus appeared 40 times, but to call it days is definitely a good translation and likely the best translation. But here is the thing, yes Jesus appeared to them 40 days, but it is definitely not 40 consecutive days.

John 20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

This is the second time Jesus appeared to them, the second day that He appeared and yet it is eight days after the first day. So if Jesus appeared to them 40 days and the second day is 8 days after the first, the 40th day cannot possibly be 40 days after the resurrection. At the very least it must be 47 days after.

John 21:1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

The third time is after Peter and the disciples had spent the night fishing. It is possible that right after Jesus appeared the second time that Peter said "I go fishing" and a bunch of the disciples went with him. But that seems somewhat implausible. It seems to me that the first time was on the day following the resurrection, the second day was eight days later and the third time was when Peter went fishing and Jesus adjusted him telling him to feed the sheep and lambs.

Anyway, the Feast of Weeks, or Shavuot is seven complete sabbaths after the resurrection. That would be 49 days, and the next day is Shavuot. Jesus ascends from Jerusalem.

So at the very least we are 47 days later, Shavuot is in three days, and Jesus says

4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

Everyone is required to come to Jerusalem for Shavuot. If they are already there and Shavuot is only a day or two away why would they leave? That makes no sense. Jesus telling them not to depart, that is a reference to what they would do after Shavuot. So this verse stands out as not making any sense. On the other hand if Jesus, like Moses, is ascending on Shavuot to the heavens to open up the mystery hidden from the ages and generations, then this makes perfect sense.

Second problem with the traditional teaching that Jesus ascends ten days before Shavuot --

Every major event in Jesus' life and death is prefigured in the various holy days. He was conceived when the temple was rededicated during Hanukkah. He was born on Feast of Trumpets. He was circumcised and his blood was on the altar on the Day of Atonement. He was crucified on Passover. He rose from the dead on the first feast of firstfruits. And yet he ascended three days before Shavuot? Why? Shavuot depicts Moses who is a type of Christ ascending the mountain to God. That is a shadow of the ascension.

But there is a conflict with Pentecost, it can't be Shavuot.

Acts 2:13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. 14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

The feast of new wine is fifty days after Shavuot. Prior to that there is no new wine. On the feast of new wine the Priests bless the wine and pour it out on the ground at the third hour. Peter is saying they can't be drunk on the new wine because it is just now, at this moment being blessed and poured out by the Priests. Pentecost aligns with the the 8th of Av. If you remember the spies return to the Israelites carrying a huge amount of grapes after spying out the land. By contrast Shavuot is the beginning of June, there are no grapes, much less new wine at this time. Peter's comment here only makes sense if Pentecost is the feast of new wine.

This also corresponds with what Jesus said in the gospels.

Matthew 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

The church is the new bottle to hold the new wine and the new wine was poured out on the feast of new wine, that was Pentecost.

If you have not been following this blog I have shown from the Bible and this is my interpretation but many of these points are shared with others

1. Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled October 2, 2024

2. China will attack Taiwan in the next two weeks. The purpose is to draw the US navy away from the US and open us up to attack. Kyiv may also be hit with a nuclear bomb at this time.

3. The attack will begin with a major snowstorm, not just white snow but dirty gray snow from suitcase nukes in ten coastal cities of the US though Chicago may also be one of the ten.

4. This will coincide with the nuclear attack on the US. This is the destruction of Babylon the Great in one hour.

5. The rapture takes place at the same time as the Lord snatches the faithful believers out of the way of certain destruction.

My best guess is this all takes place in the next two weeks

Remember this

Titus 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, 2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

It doesn't matter if it was Barak Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. These ones are operating according to the Lord's will. He is the one who raises up people and sets them down. He is the one that puts the basest of men in positions of power. There is no plan to bring some kind of earthly kingdom, that is the Antichrist system. The things that happen are designed to give every person a chance to confess their sins, repent and receive the blood of Jesus as their atoning sacrifice so that they could be one with God. If there is a man made famine it is because that is what it will take for some to drop to their knees and turn to the Lord. If there is WW3, or if your house goes up in flames, or if there is a suitcase nuke, or if the power goes out nationwide. All these things work according to the Lord to cause people to finally drop to their knees and repent and receive Jesus Christ as savior.

After posting two posts about an email I received, I also wrote back to this person telling them I had posted those responses. I do not know if he read them, but he did respond to my email, this is the response in full:

There's no response except to admit you were wrong about everything I said you were wrong about. Didn't you read the scriptural facts that I provided? Didn't I say you would never admit you were wrong or accept anything that differed? Everything I said was true and backed up with scripture. If you want to deceive people by telling them that Jesus ascended on Shavuot, then I guess that is your freedom of speech. Just remember, lying and slander are sins, so be careful what you post. God sees all, whether I do or not.

I still don't have the peace to reveal his name.

But I will post my response to this email here:

You called me a liar without even reading what I posted? May the Lord judge between us.

Acts 1 says Jesus appeared to the disciples on 40 days. However, John tells us the second time Jesus appeared to the disciples was 8 days after the resurrection. So how could He have possibly ascended 40 days after the ascension. That is the lie.

The third time Jesus appeared to the disciples was after Peter went fishing. We don't know for a fact that this was the day following Thomas declaring Jesus was God, but it is certainly reasonable since the second time was 8 days later this was the ninth day, or it could have been a few days later.

Either way, Your teaching that Jesus ascended on the 40th day is clearly not Biblical and instead of calling other people a liar maybe you should consider the Lord's word that with what judgement you judge you shall be judged.

In Acts Jesus commands the disciples to remain in Jerusalem until the Spirit is poured out. If this 47 days after the resurrection and they are in Jerusalem and every Jew must appear in Jerusalem for Shavuot this makes no sense. Of course they are going to remain in Jerusalem until Shavuot. However, if Jesus is ascending on Shavuot. that would make perfect sense.

Then in Acts 2 they mock that the disciples are drunk on new wine. That makes no sense if this is Shavuot, there is no new wine in June. The new wine is first made on the feast of new wine which is 50 days after Shavuot. One year later it is no longer new wine. So claiming that Pentecost is Shavuot is another Biblically false doctrine that you are pushing.

Peter responds they can't be drunk on new wine because it is the 3rd hour. The third hour on the Feast of New wine is when the Priests pour out the new wine onto the ground to bless it. No one drinks the new wine until that ceremony is completed. Peter's remark makes absolutely no sense on any other day other than the Feast of New wine which is 50 days after Shavuot.

You are the one who has no Biblical basis to be pushing your phony doctrines. Just because this is a traditional teaching of Christianity is not an excuse, Jesus warned us to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and religious rulers. He said very clearly He was referring to their traditional doctrines.

With what measure you measure it will be measured to you, so drink up.

That was the end of my email, but there are other verses that support the Spirit being poured out on the Feast of New wine. Jesus said you can't put new wine into old wineskins. The church is the new wineskin and the new wine is the Spirit. Pentecost is the day the Spirit was poured into the church as the New Wineskin.

Then you can also point out that every significant day in the Lord's life: conception, birth, circumcision, death, burial and resurrection took place on Holy days on the Jewish calendar precisely. The idea that the ascension did not also follow this pattern demands a very strong Biblical basis to explain why it wouldn't.

Also, Shavuot depicts Moses ascending the mountain alone just as the ascension depicts Jesus ascending to the throne of God alone. It is very clearly a shadow of the Lord's ascension.

When he says that Jesus ascending 40 days after the resurrection is backed up by scripture he is referring to a single verse in Acts which says Jesus appeared to the disciples on 40 days. Peter tells us clearly no Bible verse is of its own interpretation. I have shown from multiple verses in both the Old and the New Testament that you cannot interpret the 40 days as 40 consecutive days from the resurrection. The Bible doesn't say that and makes it clear that is not true. If you have a class in college that meets 40 days no one would assume that means 40 consecutive days.

 

[ZNP]

They are drunk on new wine

This continues to bother me. The men were not drunk and so no one actually saw them drinking. It was supposed to be a joke. So why so specific that they were drunk on new wine? Why not just drunk? Or drunk on wine? If you saw a bunch of people acting strange at 9am and you joked they were drunk, would you be so specific that they were drunk on new wine? Also, if someone says that they are drunk why would the fact that it is 9AM prove they aren't? Everyone knows it is 9am when the guy made the joke, how does that disprove it?

Many people use the fact that there were people from all over the world there on that day to indicate it was a special day for tourism. Shavuot would be a special day, but not for people to drink. But if this is when Israel releases their new wine it could explain why so many people are there and why they would be joking about them being drunk on new wine since many people are likely to be tasting the new wine before purchasing it.

So people have made many assumptions and yet they don't stand up to scrutiny. Consider another assumption, Acts says Jesus appeared to the disciples 40 times, and the word for times is days. But they assume it is 40 consecutive days from the resurrection, yet the Bible is crystal clear that is not true. All these assumptions reveal those who are superficial in their study of the word of God.

Rule #1

Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and rulers.

Matthew 16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Matthew 16:12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

We have been warned, there are a lot of doctrines in Christianity that you need to beware of. If you have a counterfeit bill much of it will be correct, so obviously there are many correct doctrines in Christianity but a few that are off. How do you know? You have to know the Bible that the doctrine is derived off of.

Pentecost is Shavuot is one of these bogus doctrines.

Jesus ascended ten days before Shavuot is another bogus doctrine.

The seven year period in Revelation is called "the tribulation". This is an intentionally confusing term designed to author confusion and God is not the author of confusion. Do not conflate the 70th week with the period of time that is the intense tribulation and do not assume that period of intense tribulation is also seven years long.

But the biggest problem with many watchmen is assuming that the Feasts of the Lord will be a shadow of the rapture. Jesus told you clearly they aren't. Paul told you clearly they aren't. Yes, they are a shadow of things to come, but there are a lot of things to come and the rapture that precedes the intense tribulation is one of many things and is not seen in any of the Feasts of the Lord enumerated in the Old Testament. You were told this clearly by both Jesus and Paul.

Sanctification and Revelation 4 & 5

Hebrews 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet.

This is a prophecy in Psalms that was fulfilled by Jesus. He has been crowned with glory and honor as Lord of all. God has put all things under His feet, everything is in subjection to Him. This is what you are seeing in Revelation 4 and 5. That is why this is showing us what is.

For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

This is why Revelation 4 and 5 is also showing us what is to come. The angels, the fallen angels, Satan and the demons all know that Jesus is Lord of All. They will not cross that line, they cannot and they fear anyone who has this faith. Just like Job said God has placed a hedge around anyone who knows that Jesus is Lord. However, not all people have received Jesus as Lord. Not all people do all things as unto the Lord Jesus. We see crime, we see liars and thieves and murderers. There are sorcerers and idolaters. These people are experiencing the Lord's forgiveness which lasts 70x7 years. The gospel has gone out into the four corners of the earth and so this forgiveness has lasted 70x7x4 = 1,960 years from the time the gospel went out from Jerusalem in 70 AD.

9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

This is what believers see, Jesus already crowned with glory and honor. Teaching that this has not yet happened is what the Muslims teach. They teach that Jesus was a good man but failed and that the Messiah is yet to come. This is blasphemy against the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Teaching that this does not happen until after the rapture is blasphemy.

10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Jesus is the captain of our salvation, He is leading us through the cross to live in the New Creation. In the Spiritual realm we can see that Jesus is Lord of all. But we don't yet see that lived out in all of the believers. The rapture is when we see this fulfilled in some of the believers. To say that all will be raptured is also contrary to this chapter which says we do not yet see all things put under His feet. Angels and demons have no choice, so they are under His feet. But humans still have a choice whether to receive the salvation of Jesus or not.

11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

This is what we are seeing in Revelation 4 and 5, the Lord Jesus who sanctifies and those believers who are sanctified are all of one. The typical understanding of salvation is way too simplistic and superficial. Yes, when you receive Jesus you are "saved" but you are not sanctified, not fully. You could be fully in the world, living in sin, when you turn to the Lord, repent and pray to receive Him. You can't be sanctified until you have received Him. You can't do it on your own. But this is like the guy in the deep hole that they just threw the rope down to. That rope is your salvation, but you are still in the hole. Sanctification is when you are out of that hole. Sanctification is when you are at the top of that hole helping to pull others out of that same hole.

Why does God remove the hedge of protection from Job?

This is a question that has bothered me for fifty years.

Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. 7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. 8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

Why does God do this? He is the one that had Satan focus on Job, He knew what Satan's response would be. There are very horrible interpretations that make God appear like someone who simply likes to stir the pot and cause trouble. That has never sat well with me. Then today this verse struck me:

Job 1:5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Is this how Jesus taught us to pray? "Forgive my children of their sins and deliver them from evil"? No, we are taught to pray "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive others and lead us not into temptation". This prayer of Job's is self righteous as though he has graduated from having to worry about the attacks of the evil one. This is an arrogant prayer. Man has a free will. You don't get your sins forgiven because someone else prayed that they would be forgiven. Jesus' blood pays the price but you must be the one to receive that. I can pray that the Holy Spirit will move in your life to cause you to be confronted with that choice. I can pray that the light of God would shine on you to help you make that choice. But God is not going to violate your free will. We can pray to the Lord for our children to be separated and sanctified unto the Lord, but they are sanctified because we are. Because we have set our house apart unto the Lord they live in that house and so they also are set apart unto the Lord.

My point is that God was not the one who removed the hedge of protection from Job, it was Job who removed it. When he became arrogant and stopped praying that his sins would be forgiven and that God would not lead him into temptation. I suspect that those who are left behind in the tribulation will be in this camp. They are believers, yes. But they don't think they are in need of prayer, they don't need to pray to be delivered from temptation, they don't need to pray every day that their sins would be forgiven. It is easy to think that you don't need to be forgiven anymore of sins, but what should wake you up and alert you to the fact that you do is that you must forgive those who sin against you. We are acutely aware of every sin, every slight, every insult that comes our way from others and yet we are oblivious to those insults and slights we are sending to others. This prayer from Job is insulting. It is self righteous, it is holier than thou. Do you think that after going through everything in the book of Job that he will pray like this again? I doubt it. From now on it is going to be "forgive me of my sins as I forgive those that sin against me and lead me not into temptation but deliver me from evil".

Luke 21, the Seven seals, and the Rapture

Luke 21 in my opinion is better at giving us a look at the time preceding the first rapture than Matthew 24.

Luke 21:7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

Luke gives us a very clear view from the vantage point of the Gentile Bride, the church.

The first Horse of the Apocalypse

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

The white horse can represent Jesus and the gospel going forth or it can represent the counterfeits, the scams, the deceivers who pretend to be Christ.

The second Horse of the Apocalypse

9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

War is represented by the second horse of the apocalypse, the red horse.

The third and fourth Horses of the Apocalypse

10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Famine is the third horse, the black horse and Pestilence is the fourth horse, the pale green horse. All four of these horses help us in the gospel message. War, famine and pestilence are great opportunities to preach the gospel and get people to turn to the Lord. False Christs and cults are also a good opportunity to preach the gospel.

The fifth Seal

12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

The fifth seal is the martyrs beneath the altar. The testimonies of the martyrs are a great story to help build up the faith of the saints.

13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

This is where our concern should be, having a testimony. We have a parable of the ten virgins who light their lamps. The word for lamp does not refer to a small lamp you would use to find your way in a dark house, it is the word for torch, a light that would be bright enough to light the way for others. Having a light that lights the way for others, that is a testimony. We all must have a torch and a vessel filled with oil.

14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

There is no way that we can have a testimony except for Jesus living in us. He is the hope of glory. Our testimony must be that it is no longer I that live but Christ that lives in me.

16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

If you have not had the experience of being betrayed then you have to ask if you have truly been crucified with Christ, because Judas betraying Christ is part of the experience of the cross of Christ.

17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

This should also be your testimony, if not, something is wrong.

The Sixth Seal

18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

Yes, your testimony should also be that in Christ we are more than conquerors. The ultimate consummation of this is the rapture.

19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

This is what the Lord said to the church in Philadelphia. The example of those who are raptured.

The Seventh Seal

20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

This is interesting the way this is introduced. You can definitely relate this to 70 AD, no doubt, but you can also relate this to "the things that have been are the things that will be". The church age began when the temple was destroyed and cast down without one stone being left upon another and the church age will end the same way, with Jerusalem under siege. What is interesting is that this only takes place twice in the last two thousand years.

21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled proves that this takes place at the beginning of the church age and yet you can also see that this takes place at the time the two witnesses are killed. The Lord has just given us a very neat and concise summary of the Church age being the opening of the seven seals, concluding with the wrath of God being poured out on the unrepentant.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Notice the word "And". This is not a continuation of the seventh seal because you would not say "the things that are coming on the earth" at that point, by the time the seventh seal is opened they are already here. No, the Lord is giving us a little more detail of what it is like prior to the rapture. We have had signs in the heavens -- The writing on the wall sign and the Revelation 12 sign, we have distress of nations -- nuclear weapons and pandemics, we have perplexity -- good has become evil and evil has become good, we have the sea and waves roaring -- Climate change, Men's hearts failing them for fear -- Died suddenly and the vaccine, and the powers of the heaven shall be shaken -- that is what we are seeing right now. Trump is talking about seizing Greenland, seizing the Panama Canal, Making Canada the 51st state, 25% tariffs, etc. We are witnessing the powers that be get shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

This is not the rapture, this is when Jesus returns to rescue the Jews. During the years of the tribulation we are going to see the powers that be get shaken. The US is the main superpower, they will be overthrown. The UN will form one world government and then hand over power to the Antichrist. The global currency is the dollar, that will be replaced with BRICS and then that will be replaced with the mark of the Beast. This will be a massive shaking leading up to the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

These things have definitely begun to come to pass, now is the time to look up.

 

[ZNP]

So then, who is appointed to wrath?

1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

It is always very dangerous to take a verse out of context. Yes, we are not appointed to wrath but to obtain salvation. But someone obviously is appointed to wrath, who is that?

Earlier in the same book Paul told us this:

1 Thessalonians 2:14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: 15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: 16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

Jews who forbid you to speak that others might be saved. I have had a number of people reject the gospel in my life, but only a few try to forbid you to speak and they are always "Christians" and not just "Christians" but generally someone who thinks they are in a position of authority to forbid you to speak. Anyway I don't put up with that. I serve the Lord Jesus, He is the only one that forbids me to speak. The Holy Spirit can also give me an uneasy feeling and take away the life and peace as a warning not to speak. I listen to that, but when someone tries to forbid me to speak I go to the Lord. If there is no confirmation in my spirit, then I simply cut off communication with the person who had the arrogance to usurp the Lord's position and try to forbid me from speaking.

But that is not all

Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

The wrath of God is coming on the children of disobedience because of fornication and idolatry. Anyone who presumes to teach otherwise is a false prophet, they are part of the apostasy, and they will feel the wrath of God.

Just in case Paul wasn't completely clear in Colossians he repeats this in Ephesians

Ephesians 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

"Let no man deceive you". That is what "Once Saved Always Saved" attempts to do. Yes we can have the assurance of salvation, and we can also have the assurance that anyone who is one of these people living in sin does not have any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God. Whenever someone defends the doctrine of Once Saved Always Saved they never hit this point, which is the key point. If someone prayed twenty years ago but today is living in sin, let's say they are a whoremonger, are they saved? Well let's ignore the question and say what we do know for a fact. They do not have any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God, their doctrine is trying to deceive you with vain words, and the wrath of God is going to come upon them because they are children of disobedience. In their doctrine they try to make obedience to Christ a dirty word as though you are teaching that you are saved by works of the law. What we are saying is that if the law of life is operating in you then you will automatically bring forth fruit of the Spirit. An apple tree brings forth apples. The Lord is within you as a seed of life, as He grows you will bring forth fruit of the Spirit.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Isn't this amazing. The wrath of God is not revealed on men who are deceived, held in bondage of sin. No, it is revealed on those who hold the truth in unrighteousness. According to the Bible the word of God is truth and Jesus Christ is full of truth. These men hold the Bible and they hold Jesus Christ in unrighteousness. How could that be? If you receive His blood your sins are washed away and you can stand on His righteousness. But if you teach people they are saved while denying the power of salvation saying they can continue to people who live in sin because they are weak, well then you are holding the truth in unrighteousness.

Romans 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

People who teach that you can live in sin and still be saved have an impenitent heart.

Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Jesus Reveals the Identity of the Seven Heads of the Beast
