I do pay attention to current events and trust me if the sun went black for 3 days or set at mid day I'd notice. What I dont like to notice are things like this revelations 12 thing. First off it happened in the day in order to be clothed in the sun. So no stars are visible. No one actually saw that. The only way anyone even knew it happened is by going down a YouTube rabbit hole. This alpha and omega thing is the same seing how it hasent been completed yet means unless you read about it you didn't even know it was gonna happen. The Lord is not gonna show his signs to only the faithfull that have access to YouTube. That simply isint gonna happen.

Indeed it is. I told you I dont believe in YouTube videos. Your not gonna change my mind im not gonna change yours. If we judged all the conversations on here according to that metric every one of them would be fruitless. However hundreds of people maybe more will read it and make up thier minds to how they see it. Maybe we both changed minds who knows. Even if only one was changed unknowingly to us it wasent fruitless.

2 Timothy 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
After the rapture the betrayal will be great. But even today there are many who are like this.
16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.
Be ready, this is what it is going to be like, the pressure to worship the mark of the beast will be just like this. Paul said if we suffer with Him we will reign with Him. This is an example of what he meant.
17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
This is the real question when you are going through tribulation, is the Lord standing with you? If He is then stand strong and don't give place to the devil.
18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
We have been taught to pray to the Lord to deliver us from evil. That includes every evil work. Lies, deceit, slander, sabotage, these are simply examples of evil works, there are too many to even count. Do not get so proud that you think you don't need to pray to be delivered, this is the apostle Paul and he is praying to be delivered. To be thrown into the lions den is an example of suffering with the Lord.

1 Kings 18:1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
Elijah represents the prophets during the church age prior to the rapture. "After many days" represents the church age.
2 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria. 3 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly: 4 For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
We have two leaders here of this part of Israel. One is the king the other is a governor. This is a reference to the Northern part of Israel, after it split into two kingdoms. Christianity is like this after the Protestant reformation. So then these two leaders represent the rulers in the Protestant reformation, one being the major denominational churches and the other being the non denominational churches.
5 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
There is a severe drought because Elijah has been praying for a drought. Today in Christianity there is a major drought. Around the world the churches in Christianity are drying up. You can go to some gatherings of these major denominations in these giant church buildings and the meeting is only a third full and all the congregants are elderly. For years they have been charting the decline of Christianity.
6 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. 7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah? 8 And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
This is what we are now seeing on the internet with many declaring that the Lord is about to return.
9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? 10 As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. 11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
When many Christians have a dream or a vision this is their attitude. They are afraid to share it because everyone knows how many false prophets and how many cults there have been. They know they will be branded a false prophet.
12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the Lord from my youth.
This is how many prophecies from the Lord are. You here them, you assume you understand, but then the Lord disappears and you realize what you thought He said was not exactly what He did say. It seems He is playing a game of hide and seek with us.
13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundred men of the Lord's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
The answer is yes, it was told him, which is why it was recorded here and why he met Obadiah. To the merciful God is merciful.
14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me. 15 And Elijah said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.
This is a reference to when he called down fire from heaven. That is half the story of the rapture. One half is Elijah being caught up in the whirlwind, the other half is fire being called down upon the false prophets that causes all the Israelites to realize that Jesus is God and that Elijah is His prophet.
16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
This is a reference to Elijah praying that there would be a drought. James mentions this in chapter 5. It is incredible how the portrayal of Christians praying in Christianity never describes Elijah praying for 3 1/2 years that Israel would be in a severe drought without any rain so that they were in fear they would lose all their animals. James gives us this as an example of someone praying in faith. Do they ever tell you that if you are such a one all the false religious people will be trying to kill you?
18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.
This is also true of Christianity. They have forsaken the commandments. LGBTQ+ people preaching from the pulpit and openly living is sin is one example, there are others. Also they have followed Baalim, a false god that includes the worship of your career and the love of money.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
So Ahab does not represent the Catholic church, he represents the Protestant churches and the major denominations. But even in them you can divide them into two groups. Prophets of Baal are those who preach some variation of the prosperity gospel. The prophets who eat at Jezebel's table represent those churches that have FreeMasons on the board of directors, the mega churches with plenty of money, big churches, expensive sound systems, etc.
20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
This is not a religious holiday of a false religion. It is God that calls them together and if it were a religious holiday all these religious leaders would be in their congregations. I suspect this event is depicted in the gospel of Luke as the death of the rich man when Lazarus dies. When a person dies we say that God has called them home. This rich person must be an important person among religious leaders that they would all gather at his funeral. The site is Mount Carmel which means "Mount Vineyard". This mountain is only 1700 feet above sea level at its highest point so it could easily be covered with a beautiful vineyard. According to John 15 the vine tree depicts Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit running through the vines like sap and the Father is the husbandman. So then this mountain is a picture of the church, the body of Christ, that has grown into a mountain. Jesus cursed the fig tree and it withered up, the disciples commented and He said that they would do the same to this mountain and it would be thrown into the sea. After he calls down fire he has the prophets of Baal put to death. So then, this mountain represents the false religion that pretends to express Jesus just as the Fig tree pretended to represent Jehovah. Of all the false Christian religions, the one that appears like a mountain would be the Catholic church.
Elijah represents the prophets during the church age prior to the rapture. "After many days" represents the church age.
2 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria. 3 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house.

1 Kings 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
This is the situation right now. You have very few prophets standing solidly for the Lord, they are depicted by Elijah. Then you have 850 false prophets all united in the same scam, just like they are united in the Ecumenical movement against Evangelical Christians.
22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men. 23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: 24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
There is a distinction here between the prophets who eat at Jezebel's table and the prophets of Baal. One is compromised, the other is fully given to Baal. One is afraid to go against the hand that feeds them, the other is fully invested in pushing this demon worshipping agenda. The rapture will make it very clear to all Christians who is the real prophet of God and who are the demon worshipping prophets and who are the compromised prophets.
25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
Religion thinks there is power in numbers. Jesus said where two are three are gathered together in my name there am I in the midst. So religion thinks if two or three are powerful, how about two hundred or three hundred? They miss the point completely. What makes the two or three powerful is the Lord. The power is from the Lord, not from the two, or three, or two hundred or three hundred.
26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. 27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. 29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
Christianity, false prophets, prophets of Baal should be mocked. Think about how much money, time, effort and labor they put in to have two thousand people in their congregation listening to their drivel. I have not spent any money, I have no sound system, no studio, no team of professionals, not advertising and I am right at 500,000 different people who have visited this site. People want the truth and they will seek to find the truth.
30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.
This is what the apostasy has done, they have broken down the Lord's altar. We are supposed to be living sacrifices to the Lord. But that is not the case in the apostate churches.
31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the Lord came, saying, Israel shall be thy name: 32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed. 33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
This takes time. Everyone wants the prophecies fulfilled overnight. It takes time to build the altar, and do it right.
34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time. 35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
No one reads blogs, not with Youtube and Facebook and being able to watch your video. No one reads the Bible anymore, to have a blog that is simply reading through the Bible, that is like pouring water on an altar that is already drenched.
36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. 37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
Amen Lord. So be it.
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God. 40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
Yes, at the time of the rapture all the believers will see that the prophets of Baal are phony and have deceived people and will put them to death. This is of the Lord. He told us this will be the "great and terrible day". They should have listened and should have believed Him.

I was stunned to hear Christians wondering if 1948 was truly a fulfillment of Bible Prophecy
Isaiah 66:8 8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
So you question if 1948 was a fulfillment of this? Have you ever seen such a thing before?
Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. 12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
You question if the pictures of the Jews coming out of concentration camps looking like those whose bones are dried and hope is lost, only to then return into the land of Israel is a fulfillment of this word?
Deuteronomy 28:63 And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. 64 And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
You are questioning if Israel being dispersed after rejecting Jesus and then Titus coming and destroying the temple and Jerusalem, you question if that is a fulfillment of this word?
Deuteronomy 28:65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: 66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: 67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 68 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
You question if the persecution of Jews with blood libels, expulsions, forced conversions and massacres like the Rhineland massacres or the Granada massacre, if they were a fulfillment of this word? When the Jews were blamed for the Black Death epidemic? When 900 were burned alive in Strasbourg? Tell me where they weren’t persecuted? Russia? Yep. Libya? Yep. Europe? Yep. Germany, Poland, yep. How about Spain? You bet. Middle East? Of course. South Africa? Yes. The Ottoman Empire? Of course.
Jeremiah 32:37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
But despite all that God promises to bring them back after punishing them and you don’t think that 1948 was a fulfillment of that promise?
Isaiah 66:8 8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
So you question if 1948 was a fulfillment of this? Have you ever seen such a thing before?
Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. 12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
You question if the pictures of the Jews coming out of concentration camps looking like those whose bones are dried and hope is lost, only to then return into the land of Israel is a fulfillment of this word?
Deuteronomy 28:63 And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. 64 And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
You are questioning if Israel being dispersed after rejecting Jesus and then Titus coming and destroying the temple and Jerusalem, you question if that is a fulfillment of this word?
Deuteronomy 28:65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: 66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: 67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 68 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
You question if the persecution of Jews with blood libels, expulsions, forced conversions and massacres like the Rhineland massacres or the Granada massacre, if they were a fulfillment of this word? When the Jews were blamed for the Black Death epidemic? When 900 were burned alive in Strasbourg? Tell me where they weren’t persecuted? Russia? Yep. Libya? Yep. Europe? Yep. Germany, Poland, yep. How about Spain? You bet. Middle East? Of course. South Africa? Yes. The Ottoman Empire? Of course.
Jeremiah 32:37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:

There are seven feasts of the Lord and they are signified by the seven seals on the scroll that Jesus opens.
1. The white horse indicates the coming of the Messiah as a savior. The first feast is Passover where Jesus redeemed us. He saved us from sin. During the seventieth week the coming of Antichrist will be as a counterfeit Christ, a counterfeit Messiah.
2. The Red horse signifies a spiritual warfare and the feast of unleavened bread is such a spiritual warfare. It indicates that for the entire church age, the entire week, we are in a warfare eating army rations. We know the enemy is trying to deceive us so we clean out all forms of leaven, signifying the traditional doctrines of the enemy from our house. Yes, during the seven year tribulation you will also be operating with army rations if you are standing for the Lord and yes the Antichrist will bombard you with his propaganda. You will have to clean out any source where he could influence your house, phones, computers, etc.
3. The black horse of famine signifies the world is starving for the word of God. The third feast is the Feast of the first Firstfruits. This is the first grains that grow up after the winter. The winter is when food is dearest, just as described in this seal.
4. The pale green horse indicates the world is sick with the plague. Sin makes people sick and Jesus is the cure. Jesus is the incarnated word of God, He is not simply food to feed people but medicine to heal them. The fourth feast is the Feast of Shavuot when God gave the children of Israel the Torah. God's law heals our sick condition.
5. The fifth seal is when we see under the altar the martyrs killed for the word of God and they are crying out how long O Lord will you not judge and avenge our blood? The fifth feast is the feast of Trumpets announcing the coming of the king and warning that the day of judgment is only ten days away.
6. The sixth seal is a great earthquake where everyone realizes the great day of the Lord's wrath has come. It is the day of Atonement, the day of judgment and it is the rapture. Everyone is hiding in their holes because they can see that it is the day of judgment and they will be judged for their sins. But they are hiding from the face of the lamb because the rapture made it abundantly clear that the gospel of Jesus Christ was the truth.
7. The seventh seal depicts everything that takes place in the book of Revelation after the rapture. It is the judgment of the Antichrist and the sinful world, but it is also the marriage of the Bride of the lamb who has made herself ready. The seventh feast is the Feast of Tabernacles. On the one hand this feast reminds us that we once dwelt in tabernacles as we went through the wilderness and conquered enemies as the army of God. On the other hand it is a wedding feast and it lasts for one week. Like the feast of unleavened bread which depicts the entire church age, this feast depicts the entire Millennial kingdom.
Now everyone should realize that even though the sixth seal depicts the rapture, the first seal depicts the revelation of the Messiah (and during the tribulation the revelation of the counterfeit Messiah, the Antichrist). Do not get too fixated on the rapture, only a few are taken prior to the seven year tribulation, the ones who are raptured before this seven year period are likened to "firstfruits" prior to the general harvest. During the seven year tribulation you will have the general harvest and the gleanings. That will comprise the majority of the harvest and Atonement will take place at the end of the seven years because everyone must be judged. However, we should also realize that the rapture is very much like Atonement because it is a judgment. For those who are raptured it is like winning the prize at the olympics and for those left behind it is also like a judgment where the Lord says "depart from me worker of iniquity, I never knew you".
The rapture according to the typology of David reigning in Hebron for 7 1/2 years will be half a year before the judgment.

Why the rapture is not on the day of atonement.
Yes, the rapture is like a judgment, but it is not the day of judgement, rather it is a warning that the day of judgement is coming. If you are left behind after the rapture there is still seven years before judgment day. Passover is also the start of the feast of unleavened bread and if you are left behind it will be a very tough few years of famine, and what will seem like military rations. This is why I really hate the OSAS doctrine because for many it tells them it is OK to have their swimming pool and country club membership and still be saved. In reality the church age should be viewed as the feast of unleavened bread. You aren't simply living on crackers, you are living on food that has had the world's leaven removed. Also, the rapture will be like the Passover crucifixion of Jesus for those who are left behind. You go into three days of darkness just as Jesus went into the tomb for three days. This is the problem with the other feasts, there is no picture of those left behind and that is a very big part of the story of the rapture.
Some people think it is Shavuot. But that is at the start of the wheat harvest and at the middle of the summer. The rapture comes after the harvest, not at the time of firstfruits. The rapture comes at the end of the church age, not the middle. During Shavuot only Moses ascends the mountain, he is a type of Jesus Christ ascension. Likewise there is no shadow of a rapture in the Feast of Trumpets or in the day of Atonement. Finally, the feast of tabernacles is the wedding and it should include all believers, not simply those taken at the beginning of the seven years.

Count how many times Peter refers to Passover
2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
The only time we hear about these angels being reserved unto Judgment is when Jesus was crucified and in death took a tour of Tartarus. So this counts.
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
We are told that Noah's flood is a symbol of baptism just as Jesus death and resurrection is signified by baptism. This also counts.
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds
This also counts. According to Rabbinic tradition Isaac was born in the month of Nisan. According to the story in Genesis the angels who told Abraham about Sodom being destroyed said they would return a year later at the appointed time and Isaac would be born. The appointed time in Nisan refers to Passover. Meanwhile when the angels went to Sodom Lot fed them a feast with unleavened bread. That is also a reference to the feast of unleavened bread which begins on Passover.
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
The shadow of the rapture has to have both, the deliverance of the godly out of trials and the reservation of the unjust unto the day of judgment. Passover is the only feast that does this. But it is even more complicated, the rapture is typified by Esther becoming queen in glory. That would be during the season of Purim. Passover refers to the firstborn of Egypt being killed by the death angel while those who do have the Lord's blood covering their house represent the left behind who are delivered. We see all three groups on Passover, because the same day that it is Passover on the Gregorian calendar, the calendar we use now, it is the last day of Adar and the first day of Nisan on the Julian calendar, the calendar Jesus used when He was on earth. The Lord knows how to put all three of these groups together in one day, I don't think anyone else knows how to do this.
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
Again, perfectly depicted in Haman and his ten sons in the book of Esther. This is the only feast in which we see this. If you put Passover on top of the book of Esther, like two transparencies, one on top of the other, you can see all of this. So this counts too.
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
We see this in the account in Esther as well when the Lion king sees Haman trying to force Esther on the couch.
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
We also see this only in the story of Passover and in the story of Esther. In the story of Passover the Pharaoh had hired sorcerers or "magicians" to counter the plagues that Moses decreed on Egypt. In the book of Esther we see that Haman and the ten sons are doing this role. Balak is the king of Moab so this ties back to Lot and the judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah. This also reminds us of Elijah calling down fire on mount Carmel and then slaying the false prophets. Another picture of the rapture. And of course we are reminded of Ruth, who was a Moabitess, who leaves Moab after the rapture and comes into Israel at the time of the Barley harvest, which reminds us of the First Feast of Firstfruits when Jesus was resurrected from the dead. She gleans in the field which means she only makes enough each day to feed herself and her mother in law for one day, which reminds us of the tribulation saints. Ruth is in contrast to Balaam, she did not forsake the right way, she declared that your God will be my God, your people will be my people. During the tribulation people will be forsaking the right way because they love the wages of unrighteousness. They know that it is unrighteous to take the mark of the beast, but they will do it anyway.

The Heads Up Dream 4-5-25@12-11-PM
I have been praying that the Lord would give us a heads up. I like the image here of Him as a homeless person with a quarter. Reminds us that the collapse of the stock market, the flipping of the money changers tables, is a heads up to the rapture. I think this will also be the event that provokes a false flag event in the US (suitcase nukes) and which will be used to justify the destruction of Damascus and Trump going nuclear.
