Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

Why do Christians celebrate resurrection day on a different date than the Jews celebrate passover and the feast of firstfruits?

Using the Jewish calendar today to tell us when Passover is does not make sense. According to the OT God divorced the Jews. These Jewish leaders who have this current Jewish calendar are the same ones who rejected Jesus Christ, the Messiah. They are without any doubt the definition of false prophets.

If we look at history we will see that they have adjusted their calendar on several occasions to fit with the nations where they lived. This is like trusting a witness who you know has lied blatantly and while under oath.

Logically, imagine if the rapture were on resurrection day? That would be a testimony to the whole world concerning Jesus. Granted, the west is on the Gregorian calendar and the East uses the Julian calendar, so they rarely ever celebrate this day on the same day. However, 2025 is the exception to the rule with both East and West celebrating Jesus' resurrection on the same day.

The reason God establishes Holy days is because they are a shadow of things to come. When Jesus was crucified as the lamb of God it had to be done on that day, according to that timeline as a testimony to all the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. If this had been any other day it would not have been a fulfillment of the prophecy that Jesus was the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

So is the rapture going to testify that the Jews who have been divorced and are being led by false prophets who rejected Jesus as the Messiah are the ones with the truth, or will it testify that Jesus is the truth, that no man comes unto the Father but by Him?

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?

Let me give you another example.

The San Francisco 49ers were playing the Dallas Cowboys in the championship game. The winner goes to the superbowl. The 49ers were winning near the end of the game when their safety, Ronnie Lott stepped in front of a receiver and intercepted a pass. That would have sealed the win for the 49ers but the refs threw a flag. They called pass interference. This is one of the most blatant bad calls in the history of the NFL, if that call was valid it would make it a penalty to intercept a pass, as though that is "pass interference". The penalty helped Dallas to go on and score. Now, the 49ers needed a touchdown to win. You can whine and complain about the refs being unfair or you can look at this as a way to manifest the works of God and put all the arrogant ones to an open shame. The refs were in a position to call back any touchdown claiming there was a hold on the offensive line. On the other hand the only way the 49ers win is with a touchdown so they can let them move down the field just so long as they don't score a touchdown. On the final play, three men break through the line and chase down Montana who is fleeing to the sideline when he throws the ball out of bounds. At least that is what it appeared he had done. The play is called "the catch" because everyone assumed he had thrown it away only for the ball to be caught and the 49ers to win. When people realized what had happened it was way too late to throw a flag.

When things happen to us, if Jesus Christ, the Lord of all, is within you, don't whine and complain and blame the refs. Realize this is an opportunity for Jesus Christ to be manifested within you.

Galatians 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

 

[ZNP]

2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

There is a lot of debate about whether or not Christians should be involved in politics. So my question is this, if you take a Christian and he runs a Christian campaign for office, will he confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh? Of do you compromise, perhaps refer to "God" but not to Jesus Christ as God? Perhaps you want the Christians to vote for you but argue you need to compromise or else you won't be elected. So right off the bat you are losing the salt in your speech.

But now, how am I supposed to know if some guy claiming to be a "conservative Christian" is truly a Christian if they won't even confess that Jesus Christ is Lord? This is the problem, every political campaign is like listening to a preacher preach the gospel, but it is never about Jesus Christ coming in the flesh, but some politician. By definition that makes them a deceiver and an antichrist (counterfeit Christ).

Granted there may be exceptions, but how would you know who is who? Look at how you are opening yourself up to be deceived.

So then don't let it be a factor. Simply look at the platform of both candidates, don't assume this one is something you can't prove.
So then, let's consider Donald Trump. Pray for him, that is what we are told to do. By all means pray for his salvation. But unless he confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh do not think that he is a Christian. He is a politician, he preaches his "gospel" which involves him coming in the flesh, not Jesus Christ. I pray that he is saved and that he does know the Lord, but I have no assurance that he does. I believe that God has placed him in the position of president and I also believe that God preserved his life during the assassination attempt. But neither of those things is proof that he is a Christian. The whole world lies in the evil one and there is about to be a great persecution of born again believers, so the Lord may have other plans for Trump. He may be the instrument by which God judges Jezebel, that is very possible. But killing people who are in organized crime is not proof that you are a "good guy". Most people in organized crime are killed by other people in organized crime. For the most part they kill each other.

3 John 1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church. 11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

Diotrephes was a church leader. He speaks nonsense, empty charges, false accusations, fake news. On social media and Christian forums you can find people just like this.

Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

This word translated ordained is "written beforehand". It is used several times in the New Testament and in other places is translated as "written beforehand". The ones who creep in unawares, we can see them in the Old Testament. We can see ones like Balaam, Judas, the Antichrist, Absalom, Adonijah, Saul, Eli and his two sons, Delilah, Cain, Nimrod, Esau, the people in Sodom and Gomorrah, etc.

It is as though Jude is saying we are living in a video game with all the NPC's having been written before.

 

[ZNP]

Jude 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

The word translated "filthy dreamers" means to be beguiled with sensual images and carried away to an impious course of conduct. It describes modern TV and movies. So we can understand this today as "these filthy TV shows and movies defile the flesh, despise dominion and speak evil of dignities"

 

[ZNP]

Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

Enoch is a direct reference to the church that is raptured prior to the tribulation. Here they prophesy of tens of thousands of His saints coming, I wonder if this is a reference to the 144,000 that come during the seven year tribulation.

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

I wonder if this church age isn't like training camp for a football team, or basic training for the marines. Those who make the team are raptured and then come as this army of the Lord, like the mighty men of David.

Lazarus being raised from the dead is a picture of the rapture. He apparently is raised prior to the month Nisan. His name is equivalent to the Hebrew Eleazar, the servant of Abraham from Damascus that goes and gets Isaac's bride, Rebekah. He is in the grave four days when he is raised and there is a prophecy that Damascus will become a ruinous heap. Since Damascus is the oldest continually inhabited city on earth it is similar to the prophecy about Methuselah, when he dies the end comes. Jesus said the end would be like the days of Noah so if you see Damascus become a ruinous heap you should see that as a four day warning of the rapture. Likewise, in Luke it says Lazarus lay at the rich man's gate and in Jerusalem there is a "Damascus gate". At that gate there is a Catholic church. It is called the Church of St. Stephen recognizing the martyrs who have died in Christ. At the same time that Lazarus dies the rich man also dies. So if you see the Pope die at the same time Damascus becomes a ruinous heap that should be a double confirmation that the rapture is in four days.

Then when Samson pushes out the pillars it is a picture of the church, the pillar and base of the truth, being removed and causing the world's economic temple to collapse. They say that this takes place during a sacrifice to Dagon. We can interpret Dagon to be the Catholic church because the hat the pope wears is the same hat that the priests of Dagon wear. However, this is not a holy day of the Catholic church. According to Elijah calling down fire God called the assembly and all the religious leaders from around the world are there. This would indicate it is the funeral of a pope which takes place four days after he dies. In the gospel of Luke Lazarus doesn't rise from the dead because the gospel concludes with the rapture.

In Mark and Matthew the rapture is at the start of the gospel. In Mark as soon as Jesus is baptized he is thrust out into the wilderness, just as the tribulation saints will be. In Matthew they first have to see that Jesus was the son of Abraham and the son of David before they can appreciate the rapture event.

A Terrifying Warning For AMERICA! Her Veil is About To Be Lifted #rapture #jesus

 

[ZNP]

Here is part of the Papal oath that Francis swore:

I swear to God Almighty and the Savior Jesus Christ that I will keep whatever has been revealed through Christ and His Successors and whatever the first councils and my predecessors have defined and declared.

He swore to Jesus Christ and so Jesus Christ using his death to keep that which was revealed through Christ and the first councils that were defined and declared by the church fathers is righteous.

I will keep without sacrifice to itself the discipline and the rite of the Church. I will put outside the Church whoever dares to go against this oath, may it be somebody else or I.

This is what happens on that sacrifice when Elijah calls down fire. The 850 false prophets are put outside the church.

If I should undertake to act in anything of contrary sense, or should permit that it will be executed, Thou willst not be merciful to me on the dreadful Day of Divine Justice.

Accordingly, without exclusion, We subject to severest excommunication anyone — be it Ourselves or be it another — who would dare to undertake anything new in contradiction to this constituted evangelic Tradition and the purity of the orthodox Faith and the Christian religion, or would seek to change anything by his opposing efforts, or would agree with those who undertake such a blasphemous venture.”

From the get go he understood what would happen to those who went contrary to the faith once for all delivered by the apostles. This is what happens to those who did this when Elijah calls down fire.

Jesus describing our Wedding Celebration While I was very sick 2-2-22 @ 5:44AM

There has never been nor will there ever be a Wedding Celebration like ours, my beloved Bride. It will be a celebration fit for my status of King of the Universe, and you, the apple of my eye, the jewel of love of my heart. There will be music Daughter, so grand and beautiful that even the grandest of all music upon your earth would pale significantly if it could be compared to heaven's music that’s prepared for our wedding ceremony and celebration. My heavenly host has been rehearsing without flaw for many, I say many of your years now, and Father smiles with great anticipation for my bride to finally be here with me. My sacrifice was the highest price man could pay for a bride upon your world, but a price I paid willingly, my beloved. As soon as Father tells me all is ready and it's time, I shall come for you. It does not take me traveling time to get there. Once his command to get you, my bride is given, there will be no delays. No “Okay Father but let me grab my coat first.” Daughter, I am ready, I am Ready. I stand on the edge of Heaven's portal ready to leave the instant he says, “Go” and before a minute of your time has transpired I shall have you, my beloved bride here finally with me in heaven, and we will never, never ever be separated again. My longing for you, my bride is deep, my desire to have you here with me, holy and righteous. I shall present you to my Father as he sits upon his throne and he will be pleased at you, my bride, in your beautiful, sparkling bridal garment that’s fit for your status, your position as wife and bride of the King of all eternity. We shall dance my love before the Father as the angels play their heavenly instruments and sing their songs which will be in perfect unison of the continual praises that will be still being raised and lifted to my Father who sits on his throne ruling in righteousness. There’s no need for gaudy decorations or even lights to be hung, for I am the light of all heaven, but my bride as we dance by the crystal sea, the flowers, the trees, and plants shall all respond displaying their beauty in honor of you, my bride who has brought so much joy to me their King. We shall laugh in true joy for our union, our wedding day is a completion for all that’s been done. It is a time of celebration for my faithful bride is finally with me and when I look at my scars one last time, this time there will be no thoughts of those who chose not to receive my gift of love and redemption, but it will be another moment... this time, that it was all worth it as I hold you my bride, my love in my arms. After some dancing I will take you by the hand and in a grand angelic procession, we shall attend the marriage feast together. The table has been spread and set to perfection. It’s grandeur beyond compare. There you can dine my beloved until your heart is content. For there’s no such thing as overeating, for that is the sin of gluttony. There is no sin in heaven at all. Next, my beloved bride, I will show you the stallions of heaven in all their magnificence that you, my bride shall ride upon as you join me later to face Antichrist the man of sin in the great battle of Armageddon. For you my warring bride shall have part and a front row seat, as your world says so often, to the fall of Satan’s puppet and his false prophet. But before the time comes, my bride, I shall spend long awaited time with you. I shall walk you through the gardens of heaven, the open fields where yes, the great lions play with the little lambs in harmony as it once was upon the earth before sin entered into the Garden of Eden. My bride, my beloved, my heart longs for this day more than you yourself longs for it and until the moment that Father gives me the command to go get you, my bride, know that I am watching and hovering over you in my love. I am interceding on your behalf to my Father. We talk often about you, my bride, my Father and I. He likes to point out to me at times one of my children, my bride and I love to hear Father say, “Look how this one has begun to shine with your love and light, Son.” I share with you this morning, Daughter, so your weary soul will be uplifted. Hold on my Daughter, my love, my bride. Hold on, I tell you again, it will all be worth it. Every battle, every heartache and yes, even every triumph. IT SHALL ALL BE WORTH IT. Now I am seeing a vision, a vision of the face of my lovely Jesus with white flowing hair and eyebrows, but his eyes, his fiery blue eyes are filled with such a look of pure longing, it takes my breath away at its intensity. It is the look of pure love, and now he’s speaking to me. “Hold on, I desire you, my bride to be with me. Hold fast, hold true for surely, I am coming swiftly” and now it's gone. “Oh, Jesus, how my heart longs to be with you in heaven. It’s getting so hard at times down here.” “You must hold on my little daughter, my love, you must hold fast to me and stand on my Holy Word for I am coming for you, my Daughter. Reach all you can while you can, so they can come too. But I am coming soon my love in the moment when you think not, I shall come, so stay prepared in me, so you can be with me forever my Daughter.” “I will Jesus with your help in your strength and name I will.” “Yes, Daughter you will, for I have sealed you till the day of the end. You are mine, Daughter. You are. Mine.” “Yes Jesus, I am yours.”

God will not allow unbelieving Jews who reject Jesus Christ, to build a temple for Him

1 Chronicles 17:4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:

It is a traditional doctrine of Christianity that the Jews will rebuild the temple during the tribulation. But if we look at this word from the Lord It seems to clearly contradict that word. We need to look at this word both spiritually and physically.

5 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

God dwelling in a tent is a picture of God dwelling in man like He did when Jesus walked the earth.

6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?

This is critical. You can't simply build a house for God without Him being in charge. He gets to decide who builds it. He never asked Moses, or Joshua, or Samuel or any of the other judges like Gideon to build Him a house.

7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:

Obviously this is a reference to Jesus being born in a manger and becoming Lord of all.

8 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

Jesus has had many, many enemies. Not just the Jews and Romans who crucified Him but throughout the entire church age.

9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning, 10 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the Lord will build thee an house.

God is glorifying His name in raising up Jesus and the Church. It is a glory to God that He makes an eternal covenant with the children of Abraham and that there is nothing that the enemy can do about it.

11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. 12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.

So this is a reference to Solomon according to the flesh, and to the Resurrected and Ascended Christ according to the Spirit. The history of the physical temple indicates that they built this temple when they were faithful to Jehovah God, when they sinned He removed them, destroyed the temple, and when they returned they needed to rebuild the temple, like someone who must atone for their previous sins. But then they sinned again in rejecting the Messiah, and again the temple was destroyed and they were scattered to the four corners of the earth. Once again, the faithful ones who returned to the Lord, the Messiah they had rejected, were required to atone by building the temple. The church is the temple, Paul was the wise masterbuilder. we were given the plans, just as Moses gave the Jews the plans. Paul gave us the epistles that tell us how to build the church. He told us that the church is the temple of God.

The point that God is making here is that He calls the shots and it is not a small thing to build a house for God. He will not allow unbelieving Jews who reject Jesus Christ, to build a temple for Him.

Yes, Antichrist will set up an idol in the Holy Place. But that does not mean they have rebuilt the temple. The tabernacle has a holy place. Yes, they will again be offering sacrifices and oblations, but that is an insult to Jesus Christ who gave His blood. It is not a sign of obedience but of rebellion. This is the Jews doubling down on their rejection of Jesus Christ as the Messiah.

Wow, I had the strangest dream two nights ago (early in the morning on the 21st). The only way to describe it is demons coming out from under the floor boards to drag me away to hell. However, I was not scared or frightened, it wasn't a nightmare except if I were to describe it then it can only be described as a nightmare. I woke up my wife as I was thrashing about who then woke me up. My response was "it wasn't a nightmare". I had frequent nightmares over 50 years ago before getting saved. Since then I haven't had one.

So I couldn't understand. I had prayed that I would "behold the signs of the Lord's coming". I posted a dream from Vicki Goforth Parnell a few days ago, "Behold He comes". The point of that dream was that we were to take special notice of the key events that will now take place indicating the Lord is coming. So I prayed to see them.

Then today I am listening to some talking about the Pope's death and some near death experiences they had seen, some in which the people are being dragged to hell. Then it hit me, my dream was at the same time as the Pope's death. Without a doubt that death is a key sign of the Lord's coming. That dream was an answer to my prayer to see the key signs of the Lord's coming.

1 Kings 18:40 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.

Pope Struck Dead on Day Christ Raised! Popes 5 Blasphemies: God Removed Him - Lightning Was Warning

In the book of 1 Chronicles it is quite amazing what it leaves out. David is king, he numbers Israel, this brings a plague on the nation for three days, not unlike the plague that came on the world for three years (2020-2022). He then buys the threshing floor that will become the foundation for the temple. After this he gives Solomon the assignment to build the temple. It tells us of all that David prepared and then described all the order of the priesthood for the temple. There is no mention of Adonijah but clearly it falls between David telling Solomon to build the temple and then making Solomon king. Adonijah's rebellion is a shadow of the Antichrist, but in the Chronicles it doesn't even count as a speed bump, it is too trivial to even mention. Jesus' earthly ministry is depicted by David, and all that he spoke will then become the material to help build the church of God. His heavenly ministry is depicted by Solomon and that would be the epistles of the apostles as well as the Revelation of John.

2 Chronicles 20:6 And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?

Lord Jesus it is in your hand to remove this weapon from the hands of the US.

7 Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?

Are you giving the land to your faithful followers or to these demonic forces?

8 And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying, 9 If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.

Lord Jesus we in your church are crying to You, hear us now and help.

10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not; 11 Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.

Behold this Great Babylon which you have blessed because of Your people and Your church. They reward You with rebellion.

12 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.

Let's look at prophecy from Noah's point of view

Noah did not know the day or the hour of the flood. But what he did know is that he would be alive when the flood came and that he needed to prepare this boat according to the design God gave him. So then while the boat is being built he would know that the flood would not come yet because he is not ready. Once the ark was finished and it had been pitched within and without he would still know that the flood was not yet because the animals are not yet on the ark. He would be gathering the food. But when the animals arrived and were being put on the ark then he would know that the flood would come any day because he is not going to be able to care for all these animals indefinitely on an ark. Finally, when Methuselah dies he knew the prophecy that that was the signal that the end had come and it was time to enter the ark and let God shut him in.

People are listening to prophecy wrong. The prophecy to Noah concerning the coming flood was to motivate him to get to work on the ark. We are not supposed to sit back and wait for some prophecy to be fulfilled, a prophecy should spur us to action today.
