Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

The Wages of Sin

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

When you are working at a job you get paid for what you do. God is telling you that "as you have done it will be done to you". He is telling you "with what measure you measure it will be measured to you". Think about gangsters, they almost always die because of "payback" from some other gangster. Often the initiation is to go and shoot someone from another gang. The person never did anything to you and yet you go and shoot them. Well, don't complain if one day some gangster comes and shoots you even though you never did anything to them.

Now contrast that with a gift. You don't get a gift because you did some work, a genuine gift is not payback, nor does it expect a "quid pro quo". In the world their gifts all have strings attached.

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

This is similar to the wages of sin is death, only you can sow seeds to the spirit or to the flesh.

8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Sowing to the flesh may not be the same as "sin". Perhaps you are simply watching a movie, or attending a show, or a concert, etc. Hollywood and the Music industry are also sowing seeds. These seeds will grow up and you will reap. But here is the beautiful thing, if you spend 15 minutes a day sowing to the spirit you will reap in due time. Suppose you read four chapters from the Bible every day, that is a sowing to the Spirit. Suppose while commuting to work you listen to worship music, that could be another 90 minutes a day sowing to the spirit. Maybe you go to three or four hours of meetings with the church, that is also sowing to the spirit. Perhaps you read the biography of a man or woman of God. That also is sowing to the Spirit.

For the first twenty years of my Christian life I did not have a TV. Think about it, when you are on your death bed do you think you will be regretting that you didn't watch more TV?

So there are two ways to tip the scales, you can cut off those activities that the Holy Spirit tells you are not beneficial. And you can spend more time doing those activities that you know are sowing to your spirit.

Very often I hear from people "there is nothing wrong with this". But that isn't the question. Is there anything right about it? Either you are sowing to your spirit or you aren't.

Now it may be that the Lord does want you to go fishing, it may be that the Lord does want you to take your family on a vacation camping. We are not talking about being religious and appearing to be holy. Simply being sensitive to the Lord's speaking. Let the Holy Spirit guide you, but if you are continually making excuses and saying things like "there is nothing wrong with this" then that tells me the Holy Spirit is talking to you and you are trying to ignore Him.

 

[ZNP]

Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

The 4 day warning

If the rapture takes place in the next 16 days we should get the destruction of Damascus and perhaps Kyiv four days before (signifying Lazarus) as well as the death of the Pope (signifying the rich man).

In the Gospel of John we see Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead. If we compare this with what Jesus says on Purim in John chapter 5 you can see that the raising of Lazarus is the one miracle that will cause all men to marvel when Jesus will call and the dead in the graves will hear His voice and come forth. Therefore we know that raising Lazarus from the dead is a shadow of the rapture at the end of the age and it will take place immediately before Passover. If we assume that John 12 is 8 days after Lazarus is raised and six days before the crucifixion it mean that Lazarus was raised at the last day of the 12th month and that would be why Moses declared that Nisan will be the first month for you. The rapture is a momentous event that ends the church age. What happened in Exodus that depicted the rapture. In Chapter 10 Moses tells Pharaoh there will be three days of darkness and Pharaoh tells Moses not to see his face again and then God tells Moses that the firstborn of all Egypt will die. These two events are a shadow of the rapture. When the rapture takes place God will take a tithe from the church, the firstborn, those will be the ones who are raptured and when they are caught up the fallen angels are cast out and there will be three days of darkness. Then Moses declares in chapter 12 that this will be the first month of the year for them, Nisan 1, and this is the beginning of Israel leaving Egypt.

So then we see the rapture taking place in Exodus immediately before Nisan 1. There are several references to those who are not raptured being cast out into outer darkness.

Now we have to see that the gospel of John only tells us part of the story of Lazarus, it doesn't tell us about his death, only his resurrection. However, the gospel of Luke only tells us about his death and doesn't tell us about his resurrection. Lazarus is covered with sores sitting at the rich man's gate. Who is this rich man? Well, he wants to tell his brothers and Jesus tells him they have Moses. So I think it is safe to assume he is Jewish as "having Moses" is distinctly Jewish. Since his brothers have Moses that would make him Jewish. The Damascus gate is in Jerusalem and we are watching right now as Christians in Syria and in Damascus are being slaughtered. We have a prophecy about Damascus becoming a ruinous heap. I don't think it is a stretch to say that Lazarus dying 4 days before the rapture can be predictive of Damascus becoming a ruinous heap four days before the rapture.

However, Ukraine is also considered a gateway from Europe into Russia. The Pope is a rich man who wears purple and if he were to die and go to hell we could imagine him also wanting to warn his brothers. It would also be reasonable that Jesus would tell him that they have Moses and the Prophets.

Now if we look at Samson we see a great feast to Dagon is when the two pillars are pushed out indicating the rapture. If we look at the Sacrifice that Elijah makes when fire falls from heaven we see that you have two groups, the prophets of Baal and the Prophets from the grove that eat at Jezebel's table. This could refer to two religious groups all gathered together, one of whom must refer to Catholics. There are two sacrifices and they are devoured by the fire. Immediately after this event Elijah flees from Jezebel and thinks he is going to perish. This is also when he had prayed that it would not rain for 42 months. Immediately after this event the rain comes, that is the latter rain that Joel says will be in the first month.

My point is that the destruction of Damascus is prophesied as a sign to the Jews similar to Noah getting a seven day warning. However, I think there are two groups at this time, Jews and left behind Christians and both will get a sign. Ukraine is Greek Orthodox Catholic and is lying at the gate of Europe where the Pope dwells while Damascus is slaughtering Christians and lies at the gate of Jerusalem where the Jewish leaders dwell.

Let us understand what is the significance of the Equilux and Equinox.

We know from John 5 that Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead is around Purim. We also know that Purim is around the time of the Equinox.

John 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

No verse is of its own interpretation. It is certainly reasonable to interpret this verse as being a reference to the equinox. God is precise and for an agricultural economy that depends on farming the equinox would be well known. And yes, for Jerusalem the day of equal parts (12 hours of day and 12 hours of night) is two days from the equinox. This two day delay is also spoken in this story, so that is three separate Biblical references that tie the time frame of this chapter to the Purim season and specifically to the Equinox. In fact we can calculate that Lazarus dies on the equilux. Martha and Mary see Lazarus very sick and send for Jesus. When He hears this report He lets the disciples know that Lazarus is dead and He reports that it is the equilux. He waits two days and then goes to Bethany. However, Lazarus has been in the grave for four days. That would indicate that it was either a one or two day trip. But if it was a one day trip then Mary and Martha are sending for Him when he has died. But if it is a two day trip they send for Jesus when Lazarus is two days from dying which makes more sense.

So then let us understand what is the significance of the Equilux and Equinox.

Matthew 16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

We have one event, Jesus' crucifixion and yet for half the people this is the end of their day -- the sun is setting and for the other half this is the beginning of their day -- the sun is rising. It is the same sign but the meaning changes depending on the person who is seeing the sign. Amazingly we can see the Equinox exactly the same way. This is the moment when the sun first begins to rise at the north pole and will stay risen for the next six months. However, it is also the moment when the sun first sets at the south pole and will stay night for the next six months. Same event, but the meaning changes depending on whether you are at the north pole or the south pole.

The same is true of the rapture. It is the "great and terrible day". Great for those who are raptured and terrible for those who aren't. That is precisely what the Lord is saying about how some are walking in the light and others are stumbling in the dark. But it is also amazing that 10% of the earth's population lives in the Southern Hemisphere and 90% live in the Northern hemisphere. You can look at the rapture as a tithe of the believers where God takes 10%. We have believers all over the earth, but what percent of them have the light in them. The word of God is a lamp unto our path, for some that means they come to church and listen to the word that someone else has, and for others that word is in them, guiding them all the time. For example, consider the pandemic, why did churches allow the US government to shut their doors without so much as a peep? Not everyone, but easily the vast majority. For example, in NYC where I lived, the casino in Queens was open, and the Costco was open, but our church building was closed. Why? Doesn't that violate the US constitution? They stumbled because the light was not in them.

John 16:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

Jesus is saying the cross is a moment in time of this reversal. Purim is all about this kind of reversal. One moment you think you are going to die and the next everything is reversed. The Equinox is a moment every six months of this reversal from summer to winter and from winter to summer.

Luke 6:21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

This verse is telling us that the church age is a winter. We know that spring time is when you laugh. Anyone who teaches school children knows this very well, the whole mood changes on that first sunny spring day.

22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. 24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Once again we see this dichotomy where those that embrace the Lord are reproached and we saw the same thing with Lazarus. He was a beggar, lying at the gate, covered with sores and in this story he dies and the rich man dies. Lazarus was the offscouring of all things, and the rich man was full, he was laughing now, he was spoken well of. Jesus is likening him to a false prophet.

John 11:6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

In Jerusalem the Equilux is two days before the Equinox. Here is another reference to the Equilux and Equinox. We know that this took place shortly before Passover. A google search puts Passover as April 12th, and if Jesus went to Bethany on March 21 that would be twenty one days before the Passover. It would also indicate that Lazarus was raised from the dead around March 23. Which interestingly, this year falls on the Lord's day, that is our Holy convocation for the rapture and the wedding feast. John talks about this when he says:

Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

Paul also talked about this dichotomy when he said:

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

And of course this is a major theme in the gospel of John

John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Let my people go, that they may serve me

Exodus 10:10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him: 2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the Lord. 3 And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

"Let my people go, that they may serve Me" is a reference to both the saints taken during the rapture and all those left behind. The rapture will precede Moses declaring that Nisan is now the first month of the year for them.

4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field: 6 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.

We have seen during Biden's administration that they brought 20 million illegals into our coasts and they have covered the face of America and they have eaten up the residue of the government budget. Estimates suggest that all job growth claimed by Biden administration went to illegals and the cost to bring them into the US might have been as great as 1.5 trillion dollars. We also know that the government stimulus spending relative to GDP was at a crisis level during Biden's administration. As a result we have delayed officially recognizing we were in a recession for two years. Just like Jesus waiting for two days when He got the news that Lazarus was sick, that would have been during the first two years of Biden's administration as people were crying out for justice concerning the vaccine mandate, the open border, and the DEI policies. But then two years ago the really sick policies went off the charts and that is when Jesus began to come. In 2023 Russia invades Ukraine and Hamas invades Israel. We wrote blank checks to Zelensky while ignoring people in East Palestine after the railroad crash and in North Carolina after the hurricane and Lahaina after the fire.

7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?

This is what the 2024 election said, the country realized that Joe Biden was destroying the nation.

12 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.

DOGE is discovering the extent of the waste and it is stunning.

13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

An East wind, China, Ukraine and the Mid East are all in the "East".

14 And the locust went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.

Biden's administration gave money to NGO's to pay to bring the illegals to every part of America.

15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt. 16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you. 17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the Lord your God, that he may take away from me this death only. 18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the Lord. 19 And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk and DOGE are that strong west wind. The US is a western power and Trump's campaign is to "make America great again", it is a strong nationalist wind compared to Biden who was a globalist, completely sold out to the East.

This is where we are right now and the next plague is

20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.

21 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. 22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:

It is during this plague that Pharaoh says this:

28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.

This is a clear reference to the tribulation where Christians are hunted down and killed. We know that during the rapture those who are not taken are cast out into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. So the three days of darkness is a reference to the rapture as well. Passover is the dawning of a new age.

 

[ZNP]

Nisan 1 is the day that the two witnesses begin their ministry.

12:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, 2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

Here we see Moses beginning a new ministry on Nisan 1, right after the rapture and the three days of darkness.

1,260 days later would be January 10th, 2028. However, there is a theory that God does not count the Equinox as a day, or calls them hidden days. That would make it January 17th. Three and a half days later they rise from the dead on January 21st, 2028 which is the Feast of Trumpets.

 

[ZNP]

Why does the rapture have to happen on a feast day?

This is a misunderstanding. When you say "feast day" we can easily confuse this with one of the Feasts of the Lord. What the Bible says is that the great and terrible day of the Lord is an appointed day. It must be an appointed day because God tells us the end from the beginning. Then in addition to that we have several shadows of the rapture that indicate it is an appointed day of the Lord. Samson pushes out the pillars on a great sacrifice to Dagon. However, this sacrifice is not a pagan holiday because when Elijah calls down fire from heaven God is the one that called everyone together and we see 400 false prophets from one religion and 450 false prophets from another religion all gathered with the children of Israel and Elijah. They would not all be there if it was one of the pagan holidays like Easter or Christmas. So then God is the one who calls this gathering, it is a very big gathering, a great sacrifice to Dagon, and we are told repeatedly about it in the Bible, both the Old Testament and the New. John 5 tells us about it during Purim and John 11 is a shadow of the rapture which takes place the month prior to Nisan. It uses the term that the Passover is "next door", ie, the next month.

However, the rapture can not happen on a feast of the Lord. The rapture is a "great and terrible" day. You would not call any of the seven feasts of the Lord a "terrible day". You might say that of the Day of Atonement, but there is no rapture symbology other than judgment on the day of Atonement. The rapture we are talking about takes place prior to the Day of Atonement whereas the Day of Atonement would be at the end of the tribulation. In all the seven feasts we can see some aspect of the rapture. The Passover starts seven days of unleavened bread, could be a reference to the start of the tribulation. Three days after the Passover you get the resurrection, that also is a shadow of the rapture. There is a second chance at the Passover on second Passover and that could be a reference to the left behind saints. Shavuot, the feast of weeks, is also likened to the birth of a baby, Trumpets announces the coming of the king and Feast of Tabernacles is a wedding ceremony. These feasts were all Holy convocations, dress rehearsals for the real thing with the Messiah so that the Jews would recognize Jesus when He came. The reason people like Dr. Barry Awe are fixated on the feasts of the Lord is they tell the salvation story and you can see types and shadows of the rapture in every story. However, they cannot be the rapture date for several reasons.

First, everything that they depict is included in the Lord's table and Jesus made it very clear the Lord's table is when we will be raptured, that will be when He drinks the cup of blessing again. That does not mean the rapture is on the Lord's day. Jesus initiated the Lord's table on Wednesday and then we celebrate it on the Lord's day because of the resurrection. If I had to pick a day I would definitely pick the Lord's day, but that is simply my best guess.

Some thought based on the verse that the Lord would drink anew the cup of wine that the rapture would be on the feast of new wine. However that is what it says in Matthew which is specific to the Jews as a nation being saved whereas in Luke it does not say "anew". There is no reference to new wine in Luke.

However, we are also told that some people will be working in the field and some will be grinding at the mill when the rapture takes place. They would not be doing that on a Feast of the Lord.

Finally Paul tells us to not let anyone judge us with respect of one of the Feast days, saying "the body is Christ". He says those are shadows, shadows of what? The body is Christ, they are shadows of Christ. In Esther there is a feast of Esther, that is a reference to the Bride of Christ. The rapture is a reference to the Bride of Christ, so the rapture will be seen in shadows of the Bride. The Feast of Esther is very clearly this shadow but we are not told when it is.

But we are given enough other clues to know that it is in the season of Purim.

Finally, Jesus says "no one knows the day and hour". Some of these references can easily be shown to not refer to the rapture, but at least one or two are. If the rapture were during one of the Feasts of the Lord then that statement would not make any sense since the Feasts of the Lord tell us precisely the day and hour to celebrate them.

Behold, The Aurora Dancing Lights Dream 3-11-25@3:33AM Shared 3-13-25

Big time warning

You will see these dancing lights prior to the three days of darkness, hours before hand. The three days of darkness starts at noon time in Jerusalem. So if you know when noon time is in Jerusalem and you see the dancing lights you will know how many hours you have.

This is when you should tape up your windows with duct tape and black plastic. I would not run to the store at this time, make sure you have all you will need before hand.

You will also need a light source. Candles are not desirable but will work. You are better off with an oil lantern.

Make sure you have a hard copy of the Bible as most houses will see the power go out and the internet go down.

This would be the best time to explain to unbelievers in your household what is about to take place in the next few hours. Basically the rapture takes place in the twinkling of an eye, and at the same time the fallen angels are cast out of heaven to the earth and for the next three days it will be a horror movie right outside your window.

I have a left behind letter written which I will show them, and I have put my entire blog on a flash drive which I will also show them, plus some other provisions.

This is like the warning that Lot got, so you can expect a certain level of disrespect and mocking just as Lot received.

The word of God protects the home, after giving any in the family the full warning I would then begin praying over the home. I would not go outside to see the dancing lights. You may want to tape "Jesus Christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings over this house" on the doors and windows.

How to know when things are really bad

Think of the world's economy as a great big ship like the Titanic. You may be down in third class and see a leak, ships deal with leaks all the time and they have pumps to pump out water, that is not proof the ship is going to sink. With the Titanic they had built it so that even if it did have a hole in the side it wouldn't sink because it was compartmentalized. No, the real sign that things are really bad is when you see the elites with their wives and children getting into lifeboats. The last thing they want to do is to leave the party, the food, the music and sit in a little life boat on the cold ocean. So if you see them doing that, then you know things are truly bad. Now in any economy stocks go up and down in value, that is not proof of a collapse, no it is only if people are buying gold and taking possession, that is the life raft they'll go to in the event the economy is sinking.

The fundamental problem with the rapture

1 Corinthians 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

The rapture is like the end of the heavyweight fight when they announce the winner and they hold up the guys hand. Everyone wants to be there. But you don't get there without getting in the ring for the heavyweight fight and you don't even get into the ring without years of training. Now no one is going to become a champion without a great coach. So the two things I need to know is this: do you have a relationship with Jesus Christ where He is coaching (speaking) you everyday and are you out in the ring witnessing everyday?

Everyone wants to talk about being caught up, from what I understand the angels take care of that.

I have talked to people who were bullied when they were in public school and that was strange to me because I was never bullied. But then when I thought more on this there was a kid who tried to bully me in sixth grade. I fought rather than let him bully me. Then in 8th grade I got into three fights, and the fourth time the two kids trying to bully me backed down. Then as a freshman in HS on the very first day of school I got into a fight. All but one of those fights was so trivial I had forgotten about them. The point is I was never bullied because I refused to be bullied. If push came to shove I fought. Now I'm sure many people will think that this is easy for me to say this because I was on the football team, wrestled and played on the hockey team as well. But whenever a bully tries to bully you the odds are always in their favor. For example, in 8th grade I was walking from the JHS to the HS for football practice. There were about six or eight kids from the football team walking in a group. I passed them on the sidewalk and one of their friends tried to bully me. He assumed that since he was with all these football players I would be scared. What he didn't know was that I was also on the team and that the rule was if anyone gets into a fight on the street the coach will let you finish it on the field. Some of those kids on the team were bigger than me, but no one wants to be chewed out by the coach and then have to do one on one tackling drills with a guy who has a chip on his shoulder. They all backed away from him, I fought him, and he tucked his tail between his legs and ran away.

Then there are other times. I worked for a brokerage firm that tried to bully me, go along with something illegal or else I lose my job. I left the firm. I was working for the NYC school system when the vaccine mandate came out. Get the shot or lose your job. I knew that Fauci was lying, and I knew you don't trust liars. So I resigned my job, sold the house and moved. I started this blog on another Christian forum. They tried to bully me because they were unable to refute what I was saying, so I left for a second Christian forum. This forum bullied me because they were actually a front for atheist and the atheists were unable to refute what I was saying. So I left for this forum. To me this is like the story of Isaac digging well, there is a fight over it, so he moves and digs another one and same thing and so he moves and digs a third. It isn't until he digs the third that he has peace. I was also kicked off Facebook and Youtube.

What I don't understand is this, Jesus said if the world hated Him it would hate us. So how is it that there are some Christians with a ministry and the world does not hate them? It seems to me if you are ministering the word of God then surely the world will hate you?

John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

So those are the two things I want to know when I see a ministry. What is their testimony of Jesus and how do they handle themselves in the ring.

 

[ZNP]

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

1 Corinthians 4:8 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

There is a very stark contrast between different church congregations. Some are rich, composed of the leaders of the community and these churches are very influential in the community.

9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

But let me ask you, suppose you were Jesus. Which disciples would you appreciate the most? Those who are the rulers of the community, members of the country club, attending the mega church. Or those willing to become a spectacle unto the world, and to angels and to men because of their witness of Jesus Christ?

10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

This is a warning, which camp do you fall into?

11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place;

I have been to Asia and Europe and Central America and North America. I have been to conferences with brothers and sisters from all six continents. Never once have I met a Christian that did not claim to love the Lord Jesus. But how many hunger, and thirst and are naked and are buffeted and have no certain dwelling place because of their calling? Imagine you have a fiance, she tells you that she loves you, but that is only as long as she is showered with gifts, can parade around as one who is rich and reigns. The minute hardship comes she ditches you. Take away the fancy clothes, the nice restaurants, and the big house. Will she still say she loves you?

12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: 13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

This is the way those who are in Hebrews 11 were treated. If you have never been defamed it is hard to believe you have ever had a ministry. Real believers are reviled, they are persecuted, they are defamed, and they are treated as the offscouring of all things. This is why the Lord tells us that we must try and test. The world says this person is no good, so what, I need to know for myself. The world held up Fauci as the authority on epidemics. I am not an authority on epidemics. But I still had to try and test his words, I found he was a liar, and so I trusted my judgement not the "experts".

14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

The deceit is increasing exponentially and will soon be absolute. Right now they do not have the ability to monitor in real time everything posted on the internet and censor whatever they don't like. But a month after the rapture they will. Now is the time to begin training on how to discern, how to test, and how to dig down to the truth.

1 Corinthians 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

This is what Reuben did, one of Israel's twelve sons. The things that have been done are those that will be done. We see this today with some churches and repulsive displays of compromise with sin, particularly fornication.

3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,

Paul is not here, but his words are and the New Testament clearly condemns fornication as a work of the flesh.

4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Job did not commit this sin and he was delivered to Satan. It is a basic principle that you reap what you sow. Yes, fornication by born again believers is a sin, they will be condemned for it, they will reap what they have sowed, but that does not mean that they go to hell and eternal damnation. When you sin you need to confess, repent and take the blood to cleanse you. Simply taking the blood without a thorough confession and repentance does nothing but offend the Lord. If you stole you must repay. Repentance includes making restitution to your best ability. If you sinned against a person you need to confess to that person and seek their forgiveness.

6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

If you allow a little sin into the congregation then soon the entire congregation will become tainted. I have seen churches and ministries destroyed, not because of sin, but because they did not thoroughly confess and repent of the sin, rather they tried to ignore it and cover it up.

7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

The feast of unleavened bread begins with Passover, the crucifixion of Jesus. When Paul says he only wants to know about Jesus and the cross of Christ, this is what he is talking about. Are you serious about purging out the old leaven. People claim they are trying to help people when they cover up sins and ignore them. That is a lie. What they are doing is feeding malice and wickedness. There is no sincerity or truth in that. I saw this with Hillary Clinton and her server and her emails. As a teacher if I had done a tenth of what she had done I would have been fired on the spot, no debate, no questions asked. So why didn't that happen with her? Because behind the scenes she was able to manipulate those in power. So instead of acting in sincerity and truth they were influenced by malice and wickedness.

Churches and ministries do the same thing. Perhaps if they thoroughly deal with this person it will bring shame to them, they will be "defamed" and they will be shunned by all the rich and powerful members of the congregation who will go down the road to the other church. That is a good thing, not a bad thing. Those are the rats fleeing the ship. All those who have used malice and wickedness realize that won't cut it here, so they need to flee. However, what is far more likely is that they don't deal with this person who is caught in sin because if they do they'll bring down others as well. This is what happened in the Catholic church with the pedophile priests. Although they represented 5% of the priests they knew about 50% of the priests who were involved in fornication. They can't purge them out or else they'll pull back the curtain on those 50%.

As a result no sincerity or truth in their congregations and ministry.

The problem with the rapture (part 2)

1 Corinthians 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

In the world there is corruption everywhere. When I was a stock broker I was well aware of the corruption of my coworkers. But my thought was that is them, that is not me. It wasn't until they wanted to force me to be partner in their criminal behavior that I left. I did not leave because they were idolaters or covetous or fornicators. I left because I was walking the narrow way and they wanted mutual assured destruction, the way they knew no one would testify against them is if everyone else were guilty of the same crimes.

11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

But it is completely different with the church and the ministry. In this case the path that Paul is laying out is that you excommunicate the brother or sister, and then if they confess, repent, and return to the Lord then you welcome them back in. You are not claiming to be sinless or to have never made a mistake, you are taking the stand that you refuse to live like that any longer. Maybe you were a drunkard, you went out and got drunk on the weekends, but now you don't do that anymore. There may be another brother who says "what's the big deal?" My response is "what's the big deal if you don't hang out with him anymore?" We are not in a cult, no one is going to prevent this person from going out to a bar, but we can refuse to keep company with them. They may call and want to go get lunch. The answer is no. If you want fellowship we can do it over the phone and it will start with your confessing, repenting and returning to the Lord. But if you are seen eating at a restaurant with this person it will appear that you are consenting to their behavior. Yes, Jesus ate with sinners, but this is sinners who are looking to be saved.

12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

This is the problem with the rapture. Lots of Christians want to judge the corruption, the waste, the abuse, the fraud, the covetousness, drunkenness, fornication, etc in the world. Judgment begins with the house of God, you want the Lord to judge those who are without but you refuse to judge them who are within your own house?

13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

It seems so simple, and it is when it is one person. But so many churches have emphasized increase. If you took one of these mega churches with 10,000 people showing up Sunday morning and truly put away from among them the wicked persons they would lose 5,000 people overnight. They are compromised. They sold their birthright for a bowl of beans, just like Esau did.

Esther required nothing but what Hegai, the King's chamberlain provided

12 Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women

All of these maidens are going through the same purification process that Esther went through. According to the typology King Ahasuerus is the Lion King, that is Jesus Christ, Esther is the bride of Christ that is raptured, and Haman is the Antichrist. So then, who are these other maidens that were chosen by Jesus because they pleased Him?

13 Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.

Apparently this is a competition among women to become his queen. So what would they desire? Makeup? Jewelery? Perfume? Pretty clothes?

14 In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name. 15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.

Esther required nothing but what the King's chamberlain provided. It hit me, all these maidens represent Christians, they are the "left behind" Christians while Esther depicts those that are raptured. What has God provided for us? The Bible, the hymnal, spiritual songs, and testimonies of those who are men and women of faith who have gone before us. But what would all these other christians desire? I used to remember the book "reader's digest". You can't imagine how many preachers used that for their sermons. I knew people who always wanted to find some funny jokes, then others would use canned sermons. You can go online, search any verse in the Bible and find sermons on that chapter and verse.

Now suppose you were a preacher, you were unsure of yourself, you wanted to make a good impression. What could be better than using a sermon from a highly respected preacher? I think that is the temptation of all these other maidens. Now suppose you are the Lord Jesus Christ. What do you want from one of your servants, someone who will repeat canned sermons? Even if they are good and were a word you spoke fifty years ago, is that what you want? Wouldn't you prefer someone you could talk to and could be someone who will share what you are saying today?

I remember when I first got saved, I was in a church that was under a very prevailing ministry from a brother that had been a coworker to Watchman Nee. It seemed every brother I knew wanted to be able to parrot his ministry. I had no interest in that. It was a good ministry, I learned a lot about the Bible, it took me verse by verse through the entire Bible. But I had no desire to simply become a parrot of his ministry. I had no interest in advancing in that church, and I think those who were best at parroting the ministry were the ones who later became elders. No, my only interest was in being able to read the Bible for myself. That was it. My unspoken prayer was that I could open up any book in the Bible, read it, and the Lord could speak to me through that book. I read biographies of George Mueller and Hudson Taylor, but that was it. I had a hymnal, I had spiritual songs, and I had the Bible. I knew brothers who had a whole wall of books, a massive collection of exegesis from the first verse to the last verse of the Bible. They would not even think of sharing a message on the word without first going to their Bible commentaries.

That was never my interest. The only thing I was interested in was getting the Lord's speaking to me from the verses. I didn't care if it was a great message or a tiny morsel.

What is about to happen is all those other things will be stripped away. Most Christians will be left with only the Bible, and even then it will likely be only part of the Bible. This is a mercy and a blessing. Jesus wants to speak to you through that word and for many He has to take the phone away, youtube away, the internet away, all the other Bible commentaries, etc.

Then these believers will be like Ruth gleaning in the field. But there is a blessing to starting out at the very bottom.

I think it is very likely that the reason Trump is looking to wipe out Hamas in a few weeks is because of the Red Heifer ceremony to prevent them from having another attack.

The Hour of Trial is Here & A Change in 4 Chain Link Suddenlies lineup 3-13-25

We have an update on what we will see before the rapture. The three days of darkness will be before the rapture and for those who are rapture ready they will have light in their homes. At the beginning of this we will also have ten suitcase nukes that go off in the US. However, Ukraine will not be nuked until after the rapture.
