Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

I think it is a major error to assume that the things that Trump is doing is because he is "stupid" or "foolish". Instead it is much safer to assume he is "crazy like a fox" and that everything he is doing is part of a plan to accomplish exactly what we are seeing happen. With that in mind consider what he is doing.

1. Tariffs on everyone.

then

2. No just Tariffs on China

then

3. No, we will pause tariffs on certain key products

then

4. But beware, cause we may put the tariffs on them in the future.

then

5. China and the US begin a tit for tat escalation to absurd levels of tariff.

One thing all investors hate is uncertainty, and you have seen this in the stock markets as they are extremely riled up. You measure the level of "being riled up" by the VIX, a measure of volatility and it is extremely high.

One result of all this is that interest rates on the ten year treasury and the 30 year treasury are both up significantly. That means several things. first, our interest payments on $36 trillion debt will increase. Second thing is it indicates it is harder to find buyers for our debt and that in turn could either mean the debt continues to increase at a faster rate or the Fed prints the money causing inflation to rise at a faster rate. We can see the rate of the depreciation of the dollar in the price of Gold which for the last 15 years has increased at an annualized rate of 9%. That means investing in bonds is a losing proposition, especially when there is a gold backed currency as an option.

This reminds me of these verses in Luke 19

41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

That which has been is that which shall be. All three gospels record different events which I believe is because they are speaking to three different groups. This account is not in Matthew or Mark. I think Luke is speaking to the church, especially in the US right before the rapture. They don't see that the world is digging a trench about the church, they have compassed you round about, and they shall raise you to the ground. Is this a reference to what happened to Jerusalem and the temple? Of course it is. But in Luke I see this event as being prophetic for what happens to the apostate church. These are the ones that should have known the time of her visitation but didn't.

45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Immediately after saying this Jesus tears down the financial system. What is DOGE doing? It is identifying all the thieves in the government and casting them out.

So then I don't think Trump is behaving in a foolish way. Instead I believe he is deliberately tearing down the US dollar to replace it with a one world digital currency. Obviously he won't do that, but he will make it completely untenable for the US to continue with our fiat currency as we have been. There is a reason they talk about the full faith and trust in the US currency. If you don't have the full faith and trust in the US, then investors will flee. Trump and his advisors know that so I don't think this is foolish, I this is the plan.

Mammon

Luke 16:9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

Interestingly, this verse is not in Matthew or Mark. After the rapture those who are left behind will be unable to make friends of the mammon of unrighteousness. This opportunity only occurs prior to the rapture. We can give money to soup kitchens, we can give money to pay for Bibles, there are a lot of things we can do today with mammon of unrighteousness. Don't call it "advancing the kingdom of God", Jesus didn't say that, but you can make friends with those who are going into the kingdom so that they will welcome you.

Luke 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

This verse also is not in the other gospels. The reason the ones in Mark are left behind is because they weren't faithful in the unrighteous mammon. The reason the Jews rejected Jesus as the Messiah is because they were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon. This should be a warning to us all.

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

This verse is also in Matthew. Think about the Mark of the Beast, what is it really all about? Who do you love? Do you love Jesus so much you would die rather than take the mark or do you love mammon so much you would reject Jesus just so you could get a loaf of bread. Both the Christians and the Jews are given this word and they will all have to make that decision.

She has been sounding prophetic warnings for two years but apparently mercy was provided for people to respond, but now the time is up, Manhattan and Syracuse get hit first with suitcase nukes.

She also says this will be a false flag event perpetrated by the US government.

This sister has been under withering attack by the ignorant. So let me explain why God must first warn and then provide mercy for people to heed the warning before carrying out the just recompence.

Suppose you are in a public restaurant or bar, some very big powerful looking man gets offended by another man and he and his friends threaten to beat this man up. This man does not appear as big nor does he have a group of friends like a gang with him. But after the dust settles all those who attacked him are completely and utterly defeated, no doubt seriously injured. Now imagine it then turns out that this man is a professional fighter, and a champion at that. He might get sued, it might seem like he provoked the fight. So even though it may appear that he is smaller and outnumbered he still needs to warn these people and also the bystanders. He might warn people that when the fists start flying he can't guarantee the safety of anyone within five or ten feet, so if you aren't in the fight you should back away. If he does this, even though the big guy and his friends might laugh and mock at him, they won't be able to sue him later.

God is a God of righteousness. He would never do anything that was criminal or that even had the appearance of evil. This is why we have been receiving warnings sufficient to act on.

Second, you can't just have some lady on the internet says some crazy thing so you sell your house and move away from NYC or Syracuse NY. God understands this. So He has her speaking for three years, giving people plenty of time to try and test her words to see if they are from the Lord Jesus Christ or not.

Finally, she said something that really hit me. The Lord told her that He would not let her down, if she needed some information in a timely fashion He would give it to her. This is what happens in the military. If you are truly in the Army of God then you will be getting intelligence briefings from your commanding officer, and we all know that Jesus Christ is the Captain of the Host. Now think about that when you hear someone say "no one knows the day or the hour". Yes, that was true 2,000 years ago and for the most part that was because it was unnecessary to know the day and the hour for the last two thousand years. Just like this word about suitcase nukes in Manhattan and Syracuse. We didn't need to hear about this ten years ago or fifty years ago, much less two thousand years ago. But if you are truly in the Army of God, you are on the battlefield fighting the spiritual warfare, then when the time comes you do need to hear this word.

We have had 83 Earthquakes in the last seven days with a magnitude of 4.5 or greater.

To put that in perspective we used to get anywhere from 5-10 earthquakes of that magnitude in a week.

Why are some Christians raptured and some left behind? (Part 1)

Until you have paid the last mite


Luke 12:57 And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? 58 For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison. 59 I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite.


This verse is not in the gospel of Mark! The saints who go through the tribulation they are paying the last mite. They were not diligent to judge what is right.


Give to everyone that asketh


Luke 6:29 To him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also. 30 Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.


Here is another verse that is not in Mark. Again, the concept is the same, prior to the tribulation you get to embrace this voluntarily, if not you will be forced to embrace it during the tribulation. We know that the point of the Mark of the Beast is to take away all your goods from you and to smite you if you refuse to worship the beast. You had the chance to do this voluntarily but there are many Christians that have compromised with the world. They think they are far wiser than the Jesus freaks who just make all Christians look bad.


What happens to those who are led by the blind guides?


Luke 6:37 And judge not, and ye shall not be judged: and condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: release, and ye shall be released: 38 give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again. 39 And he spake also a parable unto them, Can the blind guide the blind? shall they not both fall into a pit? 40 The disciple is not above his teacher: but every one when he is perfected shall be as his teacher. 41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 42 Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.


I love the comparison with Mark. In Mark there is no warning about the blind guiding the blind and both falling into the pit. Nor is there the warning about beholding the mote in your brother's eye. In other words, if you are in the tribulation you have already fallen into the pit, you were led by the blind guide, and you were guilty of beholding the mote in your brother’s eye while ignoring the beam in your own eye, so, there is no point in warning about that any more.


Brother shall deliver brother up to death


Mark 13:9 But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them. 10 And the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations. 11 And when they lead you to judgment, and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. 13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.


This account is only in Mark. It sounds very much like what will happen during the tribulation.


Only in Luke


The conclusion



Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much. 11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?



Luke 15 & 16 have parables that are unique to the book of Luke. The parable of the lost sheep, the woman and the lost coin, the prodigal son, and the unjust steward. This is the conclusion to those accounts! This gives a whole new viewpoint on these stories.



If the shepherd does not go and find the lost sheep then he is unrighteous and unfaithful shepherd. If the woman does not sweep the house to find that lost coin she is unjust and unfaithful. If the father is not praying and seeking for the prodigal son then he is unjust and unfaithful, and if the steward doesn't figure out a way to sell his master's goods then he is unjust and unfaithful. This is a warning to the believers, if you are unjust or unfaithful you won't be raptured prior to the tribulation. It is pointless to say this in Mark, they can see why they weren't raptured, they were not faithful with the unrighteous mammon, hence the Lord did not entrust them with the true riches.



If you have been entrusted with 100 sheep to care for then you better care for them. When I was a teacher I would be held to account, not for the kids getting 90s or 100s, but I had to make an account for every kid failing the class. They wanted to see what actions I had taken to help that particular kid. Had I been calling the child's parents to let them know? Did I make accommodations, did I allow this child to make up missing work, retake tests, etc.



What about that missing teaching, like a gold coin? What about the rapture, everyone misplaced that one, let's find out what that is all about. Did you shrug that off or did you sweep the house?



Can you imagine the father would be judged for losing the prodigal son? Based on the context that is what is meant when he says "32 But it was meet to make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found."

Everything about this story makes it seem that the Father is a good guy and the prodigal son is profligate. But the context and this conclusion tells us that the children have been entrusted to you by God, if you lose a son or a daughter will anyone entrust true riches to you?



Then you have the unrighteous steward. We need to get this message out, we need to get this word out. It does no good if it sits on the shelf. If you need to put it on sale do so!


You can’t have your cake and eat it too.


Luke 9:57 And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 58 Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60 But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God. 61 And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house. 62 But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.


This is not in Mark, again think of the Gospel of Mark to those in the tribulation. It is completely unnecessary to say this because it is obvious. At that time if you want to follow the Lord you won't have any place to lay your head.


This is the problem, many Christians have wanted to have their cake (salvation) and eat it to (enjoy this world). They have nice jobs, well funded churches, and so they didn't want to hear about the Lord, or His coming, or the word, and they pressured the pastors to just tell them what they wanted to hear. So then prior to the tribulation you need this warning, but once the tribulation takes place this word is no longer necessary.

 

[ZNP]

Why are some Christians raptured and some left behind? (Part 2)

Do you think the Lord came to give peace in the earth?


Luke 12:51 Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52 for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53 They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law.


Here is another example of a verse that is in Luke but not in Mark. If you were in the tribulation you would not be thinking anything like this. You would already know about the division. No one would be thinking that to be a Christian was to "give peace in the earth". Already they use this "thought" to condemn those who would not get the vaccine or who are protesting against the mandate. "Good Christians would bring peace" and other non biblical garbage.


Miraculous provision during the tribulation


Mark 6:45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sendeth the multitude away. 46 And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray. 47 And when even was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 48 And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them: 49 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out; 50 for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he straightway spake with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. 51 And he went up unto them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves; 52 for they understood not concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened.


This account is in Matthew and Mark but there is no mention in Luke! During the tribulation believers will not be able to work, so during that time the believers will need the Lord's miraculous provisions like being able to walk on water. We don't see that prior to the tribulation. That said many have seen the Lord's miraculous provision for their ministry, but apparently what we have seen prior to the tribulation will only be a foretaste of these miracles that they will see during the tribulation.


Pet dogs


Mark 7:24 And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid. 25 But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. 26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs. 28 But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs. 29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter. 30 And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.


This story is in Matthew and Mark but not in Luke! The Christians and the Jews that receive Jesus at this time will be completely humbled, like this woman, seeing themselves as pet dogs beneath the master's table. Think about it, why weren't they raptured before the tribulation? They may have seen themselves as experts, guides to the blind, etc. How humbling it would be to be left behind, it would be like that person who had set themselves down at the chief seat in the wedding feast only to be told to get up so someone else could have their seat and then in shame they take the least prominent seat. Being left behind will deal with your ego.


Get thee behind me Satan for thou mindest not the things of God


Luke 9:22 saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.


This is the account in Luke, compare this with Mark:


Mark 8:31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 And he spake the saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. 33 But he turning about, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men.


Luke does not have this part of Peter telling Jesus He doesn't need to go to the cross! This is the difference, you have Christians who teach this, that you don't have to go to the cross, being left behind to go through the tribulation is equivalent to Jesus saying "Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men." This is the fundamental difference between Luke and Mark.


Luke 9:23 And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self? 26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.


Can you believe it, this is not in Mark! Those who are raptured before the tribulation received this word, those who are left behind are those who tried to save their life and as a result lost it. If you are a Christian and trying to gain the whole world you should be warned! If you are a Christian who is ashamed of the Lord and of His words, you need to be warned!

Synoptic Gospels Part 4 – Social Justice warriors and the concluding word in Mark and Luke.

Social Justice Warriors

Luke 9:52 and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them? 55 But he turned, and rebuked them. 56 And they went to another village.

We are seeing these protests and some of the "social justice warriors" are thinking this is a war where if someone is not for us then we should bid fire come down upon them. This is not how the priests of God bear the ark of testimony through the wilderness. We are going to Jerusalem. We know exactly where we are going and exactly what we will meet when we get there and yet we are going because we worship the God of resurrection. They will completely put an end to “social justice warriors” during the tribulation, hence no need for this word in Mark. During the tribulation the Antichrist will have complete control over the internet and social media, they’ll use Quantum computers and exercise complete censorship. They will have the power to shut down your bank accounts using a “social credit score” as has been developed in China.

This rebuke is only in Luke

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 14 And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

Why is it that pastors, priests, and churches do not want to talk about the rapture? We have had debates on every doctrine. I have heard some say "it will all pan out in the end" indicating that this doctrine is trivial and yet the Lord charges us repeatedly to watch for His return and He rebukes those in Sardis for not watching. I have heard others quote the verse that "no one knows the day or the hour" and yet the context of that word is the Lord's charge for us to watch. No one knows the day or the hour that their wife will give birth, hence you must watch and be ready with a go bag. What hypocrisy to use that verse as an excuse to not watch.

So there must be another reason and it must have to do with mammon. What I see from this warning is that financial concerns have influenced the Pharisees so that they do not give the full counsel of God. Bottom line they use the word of God to justify themselves even though the Lord tells us "that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God."

The rapture will be the rebuke to them. After the pre-tribulation rapture it is no longer necessary to give this rebuke, hence it is not in Mark or Matthew. Christians will no longer be able to serve two masters, either you are for the Lord or you take the mark of the beast, can’t have both.

The concluding word in both Mark and Luke is very telling.

I used to teach HS science in the inner city. I had two overriding goals. I wanted kids to score in the 90 percentile range on the final statewide exam. The second goal was that as many students as possible would pass.

This is what the concluding word for Mark and Luke looks like.

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 17 And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

There is only one charge to them and that is to preach the gospel to all creation. Interesting that these signs do not appear to be those that would help you discern the true gospel from the phony but rather to be able to overcome during the tribulation. This is a very strong promise that they will not be harmed by vaccines designed to kill or poison you.

Now let's look at the charge in Luke

Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.

This is what the watchmen have been doing. Moses is where we get the calendar, all the feast days, talk about Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot, Noah, Joseph, the Exodus, Joshua, and many other types and shadows of the rapture. Dr. Barry Awe has focused on these. The prophets have been dissected by such wonderful teachers like Chuck Missler and DTBM ministries who has done some wonderful historical analysis. We have others who have dug into the book of Revelation like the Prophecy club and a whole host of prophecies from both the OT, NT, even Enoch and the work that Repoman 64 is doing. The Psalms have turned out to be wonderfully prophetic and Pastor Sandy has focused on that to the point of it being amazing.

45 Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;

Isn't this amazing that this is not in Mark? No charge to dig into the word or to have their mind renewed and transformed.

46 and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day;

When you dive into the word you are not simply interested in who, or what or where or when. You ultimately get to the question of why? Why does it have to be this way? I have touched on this in many posts. This is not an elementary lesson but when you get to why Christ must suffer and rise again it just really strengthens your faith to see that what is happening is what must happen to really accomplish all that the Lord wishes to accomplish.

47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

Even this is more detailed than what is in Mark. In Mark you "preach the gospel" here you explain about sins and remission of sins and repentance. It is much more detailed on the walk that is necessary to be saved.

48 Ye are witnesses of these things.

What things? All of these things! All the words in the Bible that have been fulfilled! Witnesses of the remission of sins! Witnesses of repentance! Witnesses of how the word will sanctify us and transform our minds.

49 And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.

There is no charge in Mark to tarry, no promise of power on high though "signs accompanying them" is referred to. The charge in Luke begins at Pentecost, the charge in Mark is almost as though it refers to after the rapture of the church. At that point the Lord doesn't need you to dig into the word, just needs you to preach the gospel that others have mined and brought to light. You know what the gospel is because of the rapture, all those who were raptured obviously were speaking the word that you are now to preach.

50 And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

Can you see the two stages here, like a two stage rocket. Luke is referring to the believers blessed by the Lord at the time of His ascension all the way to the rapture. Mark is for those in the tribulation that have been "bitten by snakes".

51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.

Can we all see this? We are here on a mission that was handed to us at the time that Jesus was carried up to heaven and we will be responsible for right up until we also are carried up into heaven.

52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: 53 and were continually in the temple, blessing God.

So then, are you "continually in the temple, blessing God"? I like this word "blessing". He doesn't say "worshipping", doesn't say "praising", doesn't say "communing" or "praying" or "fellowshipping". Each one of us has a portion and that portion "blesses" God. Not all are prayer warriors, not all are worship leaders, not all are prophets or shepherds or teachers. That is true, but all of us can bless God continually.

Enoch is a type of the raptured church. Enoch was the seventh from Adam. He walked with God and lived for 365 years indicating that he walked with God every day. In Luke they are continually in the temple, blessing God, every day, and then, poof, they are not. The Gospel of Luke ends with the rapture, whereas Jesus rises up to heaven and sits at the right hand of God after speaking to the believers in Mark. They aren’t taken, they are left behind, but they know what they are to do.

Synoptic Gospels Part 5 Battling Unbelief and the need for salt in your speech


I have seen this before


Mark 16:9 Now when he was risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And they, when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, disbelieved. 12 And after these things he was manifested in another form unto two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country. 13 And they went away and told it unto the rest: neither believed they them. 14 And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen.


The tears of joy were far more common in kids that "passed" than in kids who scored in the 90s. Telling a kid he got a 94 would evoke a high five. Telling a kid they passed would often result in them breaking down in tears of joy. For a whole year I had been battling their unbelief. It was as though they had believed beyond hope for them.


Political protests in Luke, but not in Mark


21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the same manner did their fathers unto the prophets.


There is a progression here. You hunger for righteousness, you weep for what you see, ultimately they hate you. This is like rooting for the guy who campaigned on the promise to drain the swamp, weeping when you see the election fraud by going to the Stop the Steal rallies, and then seeing their hate focused on the January 6th protestors. Now we see them separating from us, imposing a covid mandate with the requirement of a vaccine passport and then accusing you of being a racist, mysogynist, nazi. They do this for the Son of Man's sake. A pastor was arrested for speaking the word of God saying that he "aided mischief."


Meanwhile there is nothing in Mark. I don't think the saints in the Tribulation will even get the chance at these protests. We'll see revival, people saved by the boatload, but no political protests.


All three gospels – you need salt in your speech


Luke 14:34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? 35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out.


Mark 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.


Matthew 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.


It doesn't matter if you are before the tribulation, during the tribulation or even in the great tribulation, you better not lose the salt in your speech. Now look at the progression, in Luke you are cast out, just like those who are left behind are cast out into outer darkness. In Mark you are salted with fire. Don’t think that by standing strong for the Lord you will somehow not be killed, you have been left behind to be a powerful testimony, a living sacrifice. In Matthew not only are you cast out, that already happened, but you are now trodden under foot of men, like dead carcasses in the street.

The biggest clue about the rapture that everyone has ignored

Matthew 24:36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Mark 13:32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Here is something fascinating. Everyone knows these verses, but did you know they are not in Luke. Instead this is what it does say in Luke about this because you will see something that everyone ignores.

Luke 12:35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.

What wedding banquet?

Based on the context it is not our wedding banquet. The Bride is waiting for His return, their lamps are burning, we are His servants. This covers the three parables the Lord spoke about His return. You have the faithful servants who invested the talents given to them, you have the virgins with the lamps lit, and you have the good members of the church waiting and watching for the Lord's return. So then, what wedding banquet is Jesus returning from? This could be a reference to Adonijah, a type of the Antichrist, proclaiming himself King prior to the coronation of Solomon.

37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

He never says we cannot know the day or the hour, rather He says we must be watching, our lamps burning and to be ready.

The Baptism of Jesus in Mark is prophetic concerning the rapture of the manchild

In Luke we see those who are raptured before the apocalypse. In Mark we see those who are left behind and who flee into the wilderness after the man child is caught up.

Mark 1:12 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

That takes place after the Baptism of Jesus.

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

So for all believers who have been baptized into Jesus it will happen to them if they are left behind.

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

They are left behind because in their baptism it was not in the likeness of Christ's death. The first time it is optional to take up the cross and follow Jesus, during the apocalypse it is no longer optional and the apocalypse will cause all the believers to be baptized into death.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

The point is that the Baptism in Mark is a reference to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Being raised up from the dead refers both to Jesus being raised and to the believers being raptured.

The Baptism of Jesus in Mark is prophetic concerning the rapture of the manchild

https://rumble.com/v6saxu3-the-bapt...phetic-concerning-the-rapture-of-the-man.html

This video refers to Mark 1, Romans 6 and Revelation 12 saying that the day that the manchild is caught up and the woman flees into the wilderness in Revelation 12 is the day that Jesus is baptized in Mark 1 and according to Romans 6 that baptism is referring to when Jesus was crucified, buried, and the resurrected.

Words Given: “On My Way” — “Ready or Not” - Our Blessed Hope Is FAST Approaching!

 

[ZNP]

Luke 17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! 2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

The Lord is talking about very serious offenses like child trafficking. Yes, it could also refer to new ones in the Lord being deceived by a cult leader. However, righteous judgment is "as you have done, it will be done unto you". So stealing a pack of gum or lying about your homework to your teacher would not result in a millstone being hung about your neck and you cast into the sea. No, making a child a slave is like putting a leash on them, and trafficking them is like tossing them into the sea. We are talking about a very heinous crime here.

3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

This word to "take heed" is similar to the word for docking a boat. When you dock a boat you have to tie the boat up to the dock and you need to be careful that the boat is secure. What is stunning is that the Lord is not telling us to take heed that we don't sin, He is telling us to take heed that if our brother trespass against us to rebuke him! Usually we are told to forgive, or to have mercy. Those are important components, but forgiving takes place after someone confesses, and mercy takes place when it is time to impose the penalty. Before all of this you need to rebuke those that sin. No one wants to rebuke sin, people get offended, and often the people sinning are those that can cause you great trouble.

Suppose you are a teacher, one kid is talking, then another and another. Finally the whole class is making a lot of noise and so you rebuke one kid. That kid feels wronged, why are all these other people talking and you just single me out? This is like having a dock full of boats that are not properly tied down and then complaining because one guy didn't tie his boat down correctly. When you talk to convicted felons they often feel like they have not been treated fairly. It isn't because they aren't guilty of the crime, it is because they see many other people who appear to be getting away with the same crime. If you don't take heed to rebuke sinners, then you lose the proper standing to rebuke sinners.

When I was a teacher I had to discipline the students. Frequently they would say "this is not fair". That was by far the most common refrain. I would respond, "the term fair means everyone is treated the same, are you saying that I do not treat everyone in the class the same?" They would say no, that is not what they meant because 30+ other kids are looking at them at that moment as though he is about to snitch on them. Then I say "what you mean is that this is not right". The student agrees. I say, "fine, what you need to do is graduate HS, graduate college, get a master's degree, become a teacher, and then you can make better rules." I do not allow anyone in my class to say I am not fair, because the minute that claim stands it undermines my authority. Also, all rules in the class were written up at the first week and were agreed on by all the students.

Teachers know we must take heed to rebuke students who break the rules. So why is it that churches and Christians don't know this?

Self Justification -- the Ego run amok

Job 32:1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

Job was self righteous. We see this all the time among the religious.

2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

When things happen to us we can blame others, but that is useless. The only person we have control over is ourselves. Instead of harping on what others did we should examine what we did. James says that God does not tempt anyone with sin. It is our own lusts that fall to temptation.

3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

This is also a frequent and ugly occurrence. We see this in the New Testament "who sinned this guy or his parents that he is born blind?" We assume any time something "bad" happens to someone it is the result of that person sinning. But Jesus gave us a third option, John 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

This is why God rebuked the three friends and they had to be reconciled back to Job. They had assumed he had sinned and thus condemned him. That is not righteous, we need a trial, we need evidence. There is nothing in the Bible that says "to be born blind" is a sin, so condemning someone because something happened to them that is a sin because Jesus did say "judge not lest you be judged for with what judgment you judge you shall be judged".

To be self righteous is to be proud and we are told that pride goes before a fall. So then the proper response to things that happen to you, like the things that happened to Job, is to look to the Lord. First examine yourself, is there anything that you should confess and repent of. No doubt pride and being self righteous would be two things to confess and repent of. Then we are to seek the Lord to see how the works of God might be manifested in this experience. We are one with Jesus, if we go through something He is also going through it.

I remember a playoff game in Boston where the air conditioning went out. It was over 90 degrees on the basketball court. All the players were dragging, hardly able to play, except for one, Larry Bird. He didn't complain, played like nothing was wrong. After the game they asked him about that and he said it wasn't any hotter there than back in Indiana in the summer where he played in the offseason. The air conditioning going out manifested what was within each of these players.

I remember a playoff game in Utah. The night before the game Michael Jordan orders a pizza and the people who made it put something on it to make him sick. During the game the next day they claimed he "had the flu" but the truth was he had been poisoned. Not to kill him but just to help their team win. Still he played the whole game and was instrumental in winning the game and the series. Again, did Michael Jordan sin that this happened or did it happen to manifest the works of God in him? Actually, it was both. His teammates sensed something was very wrong about the pizza, they didn't eat it and warned him not to, but he ate the whole thing. So he did not listen to their warnings, but on the other hand we can see God wanting everyone to see what had been wrought within him.

I remember as a kid we had a Boston Whaler, and one of the requirments my dad had was that we carried this map with us on that boat. I hated that, there was no place to put that map, it would fly around, get wet, it was a mess. Then one morning my father and I are pulling up lobster pots and when we are done the fog is so thick we couldn't see two feet in front of us. The boat was in the midst of rocks. I thought there was no way out, but that was when my dad used that map. That only happened once in all the time we had the boat, that was the Lord letting me see that yes, most of the time we didn't need the map, but when we did need it, then it was invaluable. Did God send the fog because in my mind I was questioning my dad or was it because God wanted to manifest my father's wisdom?
