Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

Lamentations 2:1 How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!

When everything is going your way it is easy to become proud, arrogant, and to forget the God who has blessed you.

2 The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.

But when our strong holds are thrown down that is when we will hit our knees. When our bank account is empty, when we lose our job, when their is no food in the house, when we are fearful of going to jail or going to war.

3 He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.

Our "horn" is our weapon we use to defend ourselves. A bull will gore its opponent, but cut off that horn and he is defenseless. Our sin is in trusting in our own strength rather than in trusting God. In His mercy He let's us see how foolish that is. He gives us time to repent.

4 He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.

There is strength in numbers. We like to be with the beautiful people, the successful people. This is why people pay to be members of a country club.

5 The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.

For some this is what it takes to get them to turn to the Lord. So Lord we pray for the US, we pray you would swallow up her palaces, destroy her strong holds. Cause those who remain after the rapture to mourn and lament.

6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

Why would God be indignant with the king and the priest? Surely this is referring to the apostasy, those that left Him and trusted in themselves. After the rapture the buildings where many used to meet will be destroyed. Those buildings are not "the church" but they are the places of assembly. If the king and priest forsook the Lord of course He would be indignant with them.

7 The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast.

We saw this at the time of Eli and his sons. Of course God abhorred his sanctuary, they were corrupt. As you have done it will be done to you. If you abhorred His sanctuary then surely He will abhor your sanctuary. If you gave His sheep into the hand of the enemy then surely He will give you into the hand of the enemy. This is what happened during the pandemic. The pastors and priests should have stood strong to defend their right to worship the Lord, but they didn't. They gave their meetings into the hand of the enemy and they didn't take a stand for the members of the congregation who were losing jobs because they refused to get vaccinated.

8 The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.

God knows the hearts. He has purposed to draw a line and figure out who is on which side of that line. The pandemic and the illegal vaccine mandate was that line.

9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.

We were told to watch for the signs of the Lord's coming and when we saw them to look up because our redemption draws near. That is not what many pastors have done. Instead they have all but forbidden anyone to watch for the signs of the Lord's coming. They do not discuss the prophecies, do not discuss current events.

10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

Why do they keep silence? They use the verse "no one knows the day and hour" to basically silence people and as a result they are silenced. When Jesus said "no one knows the day and hour" was that a reference to the rapture? OK, so what about the seventieth week, does it also refer to that? What about John seeing the Beast rise out of the sea, does it also refer to that? What about Armageddon, does it also refer to that? They take a single verse and somehow it becomes a way to ignore every single command by the Lord for us to watch. Why does the Bible tell us what to watch for if we aren't supposed to watch?

Here is the funny part, every time the Lord says "no one knows the day or hour" He then concludes by saying "therefore watch". You see, you don't know the day and hour a thief will rob you, so you need to watch. You don't know the day and hour your wife will have the baby, so you need to watch, you don't know the day and hour to harvest the crop so you need to watch.

 

[ZNP]

Why are you afraid of all these ones that are afraid of the Lord?

Lamentations 2:11 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.

The consequences of failing to listen to the Lord and heed His commands must be so severe that we will never make that mistake again.

12 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.

We see this in the story about the Cinderella man. When he loses his job as a fighter and can't support his children and sees them starving and sick, that is when he is very happy to go into the ring and fight anyone other than that.

13 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?

This was his situation. He was broke, his friends couldn't help him. The only one that could help was God.

14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.

What we need are people in our corner who can spot our errors and give us correction. Not a bunch of yes men. I remember once we had beat this team 45-0 in football. A week later the team watched the game film. By the time the film session was over I asked the kid next to me "who won that game?" The coach had found mistakes and errors on virtually every play. We were chewed out non stop from start to finish on our performance. That was what we needed.

15 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?

This is of God. If you become proud and arrogant you are set up to take this fall. Our victory is in the Lord, if we depart from the Lord we will be set up to fall, to be mocked, and ridiculed.

16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.

Check the people like Michael Jordan and Tom Brady who won a bunch of championships. They'll tell you they like winning, but what really motivates them more than anything is that they hate losing. That is what the coach knew. I was on a football team that was undefeated two years in a row, I liked winning, but what really motivated me more than anything was I didn't want to be called out in the film session. I didn't want the coach asking me who I was blocking, or why was I doing what I was doing, playing it over and over again for the entire team to see. These teams did stuff to try and make us fearful, I laughed at that. The only thing I was afraid of was our weekly film session.

17 The Lord hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.

There is this scene in a baseball movie where the pitcher is ignoring the catcher, so the catcher tells the batter what pitch is coming. He hits a home run. He did that so that his pitcher would stop being so arrogant. If you don't want to listen to the Lord then He might cause the enemy to rejoice over thee, He might just set up the horn of thine adversaries.

18 Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease. 19 Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.

To me this is like hitting the cue ball in pool so that it hits the other ball which goes into the pocket. The Lord wants us crying unto Him, He wants to be involved in our lives. All this stuff that happens to us, it happens to us for good, so that we will learn to put our trust in the Lord and not in vain idols.

20 Behold, O Lord, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?

Have you ever noticed this is always the question when you are talking about bullies. Are you going to let this guy walk over you forever? Wouldn't it be better to stand and fight? Even if you lose the fight it is one and done rather than a daily humiliation.

21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied.

Suppose that is your choice, you can die a coward or you can die fighting. Which would you prefer?

22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the Lord's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.

There is the problem. Why are you afraid of all these ones that are afraid of the Lord?

I learned from that football coach, I wasn't afraid of the other team, I wasn't even concerned with the score in the game. My main concern in every game, my main fear was the coach. My main concern was that I would be found doing my job, being where I was supposed to be, doing what I was supposed to be doing. Let the Lord Jesus worry about the rest.

 

[ZNP]

Philippians 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; 30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

When we get to heaven we will be surrounded by brothers and sisters who were martyred, who were stoned, who were excommunicated, imprisoned, and treated horribly but who stood for Jesus regardless. Imagine getting there and you never suffered for the sake of the Lord or of the gospel.

If you never suffer for His sake then you don't have the fellowship of His sufferings. You never lost your job because of your stand for righteousness. You were never defrauded, never cheated, never despitefully used.

The Lord hath yet more light and truth to break forth from His word

The Bible Matrix | Dustin Blystone

 

[ZNP]

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Genesis 37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

Both of these prophetic words are in Genesis and point to the Revelation 12 sign that we saw in 2017. If you go to the 8th book of the Bible you see a picture of the rapture in the book of Ruth depicting Jesus (as Boaz) taking the Gentile bride (Ruth). So do you think this might indicate that 8 years after that sign we'll have the rapture?

If we follow this pattern (The Bible is divided into 3 sets of 22) then Isaiah would be the first book of the next set of 22 and Amos would be your book on the rapture, a book that says to "prepare to meet thy God". Acts would be the final book in this set of 22 and Romans would be your first book of the third set with 1 Thessalonians being the book on the rapture.

My Lovely Jesus - Prophetic Dreams & Visions

Antichrist & The New York, New York Song Dream 8-22-25@1:11 AM NO VIDEO YET

Jesus Christ, I’m here. I dreamed a dream about Antichrist that is similar to one you gave me on 5-@12-25 @ 6:55AM named Antichrist And It’s A Small World Dream. I have prayed, tried and tested this dream, and it’s proved from You. Now in Your great Name Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha’ Mashiach I release this one too for the glory of Father God.

The dream began much the same as the prior one in which the man of sin, French President Emmanuelle Macron was dressed in a black, slim-fitting tuxedo as if for some type of a ceremony. His shirt was crisp white and his tie was solid black. The kerchief above his blackened heart was pristine white. His shoes were shiny black, with the black stiff shoe strings tied in uniform bows you see in expensive shoes sometimes. Again he’s standing with his hands as if adjusting the buttons on the tuxedo’s jacket. I was fully focused on him. He placed his hands into his pants pocket, as if waiting for something or someone. He seems a little impatient in his body language. He’s once again standing in front of a building that has steps heading up the front entrance (there’s two sets of steps; he’s on one of them). On the front entrance, he looks around, reaches up, and straightens his already perfectly placed black tie that he’s wearing and then he begins whistling a tune I recognize from days gone by. It’s the song, “It’s a Small World After All”. As he continued to whistle the song, I noticed this time he was somewhere else. He is standing by a statue of George Washington near some steps. Behind him were ivory colored columns like what I’ve seen in greek buildings of old. He stops whistling the tune as he pulls his left hand out of his pocket. He looked at the watch-type gizmo device on his wrist and as if by thought it projects a little 3D holographic screen in the air with a time displayedThis time from where I’m standing to His side the numbers weren’t backwards. I could see the time clearly in bold numbers that read, “7:01,” but without an AM or PM displayed. “Excellent,” he said again as in the prior dream, speaking to himself. The screen disappears and he places his hands back into the pocket of his pants. He looked around one more time; then he said, “It’s going to be a hot time in the city tonight.” Then he smiled an evil, wicked grin and began whistling again. This time his tune was different. I recognized it as an old song my mom used to know by Bing Crosby. It’s titled, “New York, New York. I hadn’t heard it for years but its tune and name immediately returned to me while I listened to him merrily whistle it out loud. As he began descending down the steps made of granite I could now see the view before him. There were several buildings but one in particular stuck out to me. It too had the Grecian style, or Roman style columns. This one had elaborate moulding above each column at the top and above it a stretched out pyramid full of statues of women, children and naked men all carved inside it. There’s some type of gold writing beneath the stretched pyramid but I’m not able to read it from the distance I’m at from it. My eyes refocus on Emmanuel Macron, French President who is the Antichrist, the Man of Sin. I can tell he’s pleased about something. He begins whistling louder the same tune, “New York, New York.” Then he begins laughing like a wicked evil hyena as he begins descending the few steps to the ground level. He raises his arms up in the air as if to the sky then says, “It’s going to be a hot, hot time in this city tonight, oh New York, New York. Your time has come. Then He began whistling the song once again. Then he began walking quickly past all the buildings out of view but I could still hear him whistling almost joyfully the song New York, New York. Then I woke up.

Verses:

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Isaiah 48:3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. 4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; 5 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. 6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them. 7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. 8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

Job 5:13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. 14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.

Jeremiah 23:23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? 24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.

51:1 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind; 2 And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.

6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence. 7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. 8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. 9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.

Luke 8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

Proverbs 29:1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

Revelation 18;

Isaiah 34;

Deuteronomy 32:35 To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

Jeremiah 5:21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: 22 Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? 23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. 24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. 25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. 26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. 27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. 28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. 29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Prior dream: Antichrist And It’s A Small World Dream 5-12-25 @ 6:55AM

 

[ZNP]

You can repent now, or you can repent later, your choice.

Lamentations 5:1 Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. 2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.

You ever hear people grumble and complain about their house, or their job, or their inheritance? We need to repent for being thankless.

3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.

You ever hear kids complain about their parents, women about their husbands? We need to repent for being thankless.

4 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.

When I was a kid it was a joke, the idea that I could sell you water to drink. I went off to England and when I came back everyone was buying water out of plastic bottles. I couldn't believe it. Have you ever heard people complain about how expensive things are? We need to repent for being thankless.

5 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.

Ever hear them complain about how tough their job is? We need to repent for being thankless.

6 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.

Lamentations lets us know what happens if we forsake God and turn to anyone else. If you think things were tough under God you have no idea how bad and how tough things can be. Either you will love God with your whole heart and all your strength, or the false gods will take everything you have, treat you like a slave, and work you to death.

7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.

This is what the $37 trillion US debt is, it is evidence that our fathers have forsaken God. When you follow God you lend and do not borrow, when you forsake Him you become the tail and not the head.

8 Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.

China used to be our servants, making things for America.

9 We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.

Take a look at the violence on American Streets. Regardless of whether or not you agree, Trump putting the National Guard on the streets of Washington DC was justified because of the crime and it is undeniable that as a result crime has fallen. Go to the memorial for George Floyd and they have a "cemetery" filled with markers for all the people killed on the streets due to violence.

10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.

If we forsake God, if we become thankless to Him, we go down a path, this path leads to crushing debt, slavery, gang violence, and ultimately famine. The US may not have gotten there yet, but look around, there are many countries that have. They went down the same path and we are following them. How stupid is that?

11 They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.

This is what is happening in the UK and many other countries. Lots of rapes. But even in the US look at the explosion of single parent mothers. This was a very clear progression that could easily have been predicted. First, make your high schools coed. Second get rid of school uniforms so that these girls who are in HS can pretend to be older. Third give government assistance that promotes unwed mothers. It should be if a high school girl gets pregnant her parents have to support her. This gives her the best chance to repent and turn her life around, and it gives the best chance for the child to be raised by the parents. But the government pays these mothers by the child as long as they don't get married.

12 Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.

The buck stops here. At some point the masses will turn on the leaders. If you employ the hyenas then at some point the hyenas will turn on you and devour you. Instead of listening to people complain about how they have to eat chicken instead of steak, or that their swimming pool is not olympic size, the leaders should have enough foresight to realize what happens if we listen to the grumbling and complaining and forsake God.

13 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.

They will take your kids away from you. That is the new law in California, if you don't support your kid being made into a eunuch they will take them away from you. If the parents are slaves the next step is the children belong to the state and not to the parents.

14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.

Take a look at our politicians and our judges. They used to be men of character, men with backbone. But according to the testimony of those saved out of the occult they are all on the take.

15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.

Listen to popular music, it is shrill, it is full of bitter complaining, it is filled with hate, it is not joyful. For those who remember when it was joyful, music that would make you dance, it is now nothing but mourning. This is because people have forsaken God. According to those saved out of the occult they completely control the music industry. They say no one can get their music published and promoted unless they are in witchcraft. Your children are going to be drawn to music, if the church is full of leaven then they'll go to the Satanists. They'll prefer someone who is honestly and sincerely worshipping Satan to one who is a hypocrite and pretense.

16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!

Yep, that is the point. "Woe unto us, that we have sinned!"

Let this mind be in you

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

We are all instructed to pray that God's name would be hallowed. When every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord, it glorifies God the Father. When Paul said let this mind be in you he meant that we must have the mind that we are witnesses of the Lord confessing to others with our tongue that Jesus Christ is Lord.

If you are going to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord it begins with you on your knees praying to the Lord.

Now you must share an experience of the crucified and resurrected Christ, but to do that you must humble yourself and become obedient to the death of the cross. To humble yourself means to make yourself of no reputation, take the form of a servant. But at the same time you cannot be intimidated. You take on the form of a janitor but you are not intimidated by the CEO.

That was the mind that was in Christ. He had nothing but the clothes on His back. He had no job, no reputation, no wealth, just an itinerant preacher. But He wasn't intimidated by the King, or by the Priest or by any of the worldly leaders of the day. He was a servant and despite how unrighteous the judgment was He was obedient to the death of the cross. That was the price that had to be paid for our sins and He understood that was His ministry. Pay this price. This is why God exalts His name because He blazed the path for the rest of us. We also need to take that same mindset that if we are going to save people out of sin we will need to pay the price. No one wants to speak, you get mocked, and ridiculed and insulted. Well that is the path that Jesus took and Paul is telling us to let this mind be in you.

I was brought to the Lord by this brother named David. He was a very simple brother. He preached the gospel continuously but it was always the same message. He memorized Romans 10:13 and that was his message over and over and over again. Then the Lord told him to preach on the Rice University Campus. At the time this was a top ten university and was filled with atheists. It was called the Harvard of the South and it was probably every bit as atheistic as Harvard. He thought he couldn't speak on that campus, everyone was too smart and they would make a fool of him. The Lord was insistent and so he obeyed. The message to me was if this brother can come on here and preach despite being mocked and ridiculed by everyone then how about me?

Prophetic Dream: I Have A Heaviness After What I Was Shown ! Something BIG Is Coming #rapture

 

[ZNP]

Philippians 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

Dogs return to their vomit. At the time of Paul the big issue the church had was with the judaizers. They infiltrate the church and then return to the Old Testament. Evil workers are equivalent to deceitful workers. Paul told us in Galatians that there were false brothers who secretly stole in so they could figure out how to bring the church into subjection. The concision is an insulting term for circumcision referring to cutting off the flesh. The cross of Christ gives us a new heart wherewith we cut off the flesh, but what these ones do is slice and dice up the body of Christ based on who will follow their rules. Do you have music yes or no? Do the women wear head coverings, yes or no? They specialize in creating denominations to divide and cut up the Body of Christ.

3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

To be the circumcision means you have a sign that you have a covenant with God. The first sign is that you worship God in the spirit, the second sign is that you rejoice in Christ Jesus and the third is that you have no confidence in your flesh.

These ones will tell you that you must worship in their way with or without instruments, head coverings, etc. Instead of rejoicing there is a lot of condemnation of others and self righteousness. It is common trait of cults that they view themselves as better than other believers, or they may see themselves as the "elite" believers like they are army rangers and everyone else is simply regular army. You will also find that many of them have confidence in the flesh. No one will put it that way, but maybe they are third generation Christians. Why tell you that if you have no confidence in the flesh? In Paul's day they probably talked about being of Jewish descent. Being of Jewish descent is of no benefit if you have no confidence in the flesh, so why make a point of this?

4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

This sounds like what you would hear when they introduce a speaker.

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

In the world all these things are gain, but if you are going to faithfully follow the Lord, take on the attitude of a servant, humble yourself to become nothing, and be obedient to die to self on the cross then all those things that were gain to you will also be crucified on the cross as well.

 

[ZNP]

Philippians 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

Suppose you went to seminary, studied hard, perhaps four years, or even six years. You learned a lot, that seems like something that is beneficial, like Paul studying at the feet of Gamaliel. But none of that will help you get the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus. I think this is very difficult for people to understand so let's go over this carefully so there is no cause for confusion. I studied the ministry of Watchman Nee and I was under the ministry of one of his coworkers, Witness Lee, for twenty years. I am very thankful for the training I received. Now the ministry that I was a part of (Living Stream Ministry) published the complete works of Watchman Nee and they also published the Life Studies of Watchman Nee. These messages cover every single book of the Bible and in many of them they go verse by verse through the book. I attended almost every life study and the few I missed I read the messages. However, I do not have any of LSM books in my possession. I do not ever read what Witness Lee or Watchman Nee had to say on a verse. My goal was not to be someone who regurgitated Witness Lee's messages. There were a lot of people who did take that path. The messages were good. But very often it is the "good thing" that will keep us from the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus. Witness Lee and Watchman Nee both based their ministry on J.N. Darby. That is my background, I am grounded in those teachings, but at the same time I understand that I don't want that teaching to limit the word of God. There is still more light and truth to break forth from His word. If I were to simply regurgitate their teachings this would be "canned food". That is great if you are starving but not what I want. I want the Lord to speak to us fresh today. So I treat that teaching as dung. Not in a bad way, but as fertilizer. That was the Lord's speaking last year, I want that to help fertilize the ground for the Lord's speaking this year.

9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

What I just shared would have been viewed as "blasphemy" when I was in that church under Witness Lee for twenty years. They were too smart to actually admit that for the record. I went back through the written messages and was disturbed to discover much of what I can clearly remember Witness Lee saying was scrubbed out of the written messages. But when you walk in religious circles you discover there are two kinds of righteousness. You can walk according to the unwritten rules of the particular sect (cult, denomination, etc) and they will treat you as righteous, or you can walk according to the faith in Christ. If you do that the religious sect will attack and vilify you and yet you will have the righteousness which is of God by faith and not of the men that run that sect. It is like walking on a tight wire with people trying to knock you off that wire by any means possible. As long as you submit to those men no one bothers you, but submit to God speaking in your spirit and now you are under attack.

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Why would you choose to walk a tight rope with all these ones trying to knock you off? This is the only path that will let you know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. The only way you can know these things is if you are conformable unto His death.

11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

Isn't this the goal of the Christian life? Isn't the blessed hope to be caught up to the Lord in the rapture? If everyone knows this then why doesn't everyone follow the same path. This leads us back to the warning at the beginning of this chapter, beware of dogs who have returned to their vomit, beware of evil workers who are deceitful workers and beware of the concision that will cut you off from being obedient to God.

 

[ZNP]

Philippians 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

Without a vision the people perish. We need a vision of the immeasurable Christ who is above all. We cannot possibly attain all, but perhaps a part, a crumb. The problem with regurgitating someone else's ministry is that you can attain, you can feel like you've got it. We need to keep our eyes on Jesus. Reuben's name means "see a son". Forget that, what we need is to "See The Son". It doesn't matter if the preacher was real good, Watchman Nee was good, Chuck Missler was good, Billy Graham was good, but if your eyes are on them you are like Reuben, you see a son. I don't want to be Reuben, I want to see The Son.

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

This is the right attitude. A lot of people are getting tired of hearing about the rapture and the signs. That is the wrong attitude. I don't care if the rapture is this day or a month from now or a year from now. Every day we have is another day for us to forget the things behind and stretch forth unto those things which are before.

15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

We are coworkers with God. He is the best friend. If you are otherwise minded He'll let you know. Simply make sure that hearing from Him and obeying Him is your main goal.

16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

I think I have a M.O. This is the rule that I have walked by. As you can see every post has the Bible verse, usually the verse is first and I comment after it like I am hiding behind the verse and that verse is shielding me from the fiery darts. But there are many others people that I have posted their links here and they have different M.O.s. You have the sister that posts rapture dreams. You have the other sister who posts prophetic dreams and visions. You have some brothers who specialize in history or in the dead sea scrolls or in the books of the apocrypha. The Lord has given each of us a particular field to work. So even though there is a lot of diversity in the message, the mind is one. We all want the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord.

Post Tribulation Rapture and Torah Keeping Christians

I'm only 14 minutes in but at this point he is talking about false positives and false negatives.

I think it is too early to say what is and is not a false positive. For all we know very significant events are happening behind the scenes. For example, if I was a night watchman I might have heard or seen something suspicious and went and checked it out. I may conclude it is nothing but in reality I might have interrupted the thieves and so it was something.

The New Testament is very clear on several points, one is that we are to watch for the Lord's coming and the other is to not judge before the time. There are people who want me to judge Israel's prosecution of the war against Hamas. My feeling is that we will need to wait until all the information is in and we can judge fairly. At this moment only Jesus is omniscient and until all the facts are in I am not ready to judge. The same is true of the signs and prophecies concerning the Lord's return.

Let me give another example, my wife and I sold our house and moved in 2022. Within a week of closing on the house the mortgage rates went up which would have equated to us getting paid significantly less (only a portion of the total selling price was our equity, if you cut the price a little it will go 100% towards cutting how much we get paid). So then, did we jump the gun in moving in 2022? I don't think so, instead I think every single week that we would have delayed would have cost us and made it that much harder to move.

Take a look at Ukraine, you could have sold your house and moved quite easily in December of 2021, but a month or two later and you probably could not have sold anymore. You could have still moved but it would have cost you a lot more. Wait a couple more months and you wouldn't be able to leave Ukraine. A warning needs to come in time for you to do something about it.

Here is another example, suppose you are now financially broke, having trouble paying bills and are on the verge of becoming homeless. Three years ago I advised people buy silver at $18, it is now $39. During the same time we have had approximately 20% inflation. So 100k back then is now 80k or if you followed my advice more than 200k. So I find all these ones complaining about "nothing happening" to be ludicrous. Not simply ridiculous, but ridiculous with a Satanic twist.

When I was warning about Russia massing on the border with Ukraine many argued that this was nothing. Then when they did go to war they argued that this was a border dispute, I said this was going to continue to grow. I said that the pandemic and vaccine mandate were a fulfillment of prophecies in Joel and they signaled that the day of the Lord was at hand (meaning right next door). That was 2020, 2021 and 2022. In 2023 Hamas invaded Israel and kicked of the Psalm 83 war. Then we began talking about God breaking Elam's bow and said that the Moab's would be used to break their bow. Again, people argued that would not happen only for it to happen. The reality is that the nay sayers have been wrong repeatedly, they never repent, never confess.

We talked about the five red heifers indicating that Israel would raise up their priesthood and restart the oblations and sacrifices. Sure enough they burnt one of the two certified red heifers and have gathered their ashes. They have said it was done according to Numbers 19 (but not according to the Talmud which is Rabbinical tradition). The only way this was according to Numbers 19 was if they have raised up a priesthood and the sacrifice was looking into the sanctuary which means the Tabernacle of David has also been raised. If those two things are in fact true then nothing is stopping the Jews from restarting the oblations and sacrifices now. There are many prophecies indicating that for the last seven years of this age, the seventieth week, they will be doing that, and the seventieth week begins on Feast of Trumpets, a month away. Not only so but on the same day the UN is meeting to agree on a plan to split the nation of Israel into two states, which would fulfill another prophecy concerning why God's judgment falls.

So anyone who wants to say that "nothing is happening" is willfully ignorant of what is happening.

My testimony regarding Brother Joshua

I intend to look into this brother Joshua in much more detail over the next 24 hours. I have heard a little of what he says. What I heard seemed like a very concise summary of key points we have already shared, I did not hear anything I disagreed with. However, I have not heard him recount his dream or prophecy concerning the date of the rapture. Here is the link he refers to.

HEATHER AND SISTER SHELLY TRUMPETS!

 

[ZNP]

Here is the testimony that they are talking about

The Date for the END OF THE WORLD REVEALED|The message i received personally from Jesus| Mr Joshua

Discern the word carefully. There are a many ways to misunderstand this, I will be going over this carefully. First time I have skimmed through to the prophetic speaking.

Discern the word carefully. There are a many ways to misunderstand this, I will be going over this carefully. First time I have skimmed through to the prophetic speaking.

One quick comment.

We have several references that suggest or even say directly that this event will take place on a Moedim, a set date on the Jewish calendar. We have other places in the Bible that clearly would say that the seven year tribulation would begin on the Feast of Trumpets. Also, the Feast of Trumpets is called "no one knows the day or the hour" because they must have two witnesses that sight the new moon before it starts. It is not simply a matter of astronomy, it is also a matter of cloud cover. So the things he says are true in those regards. I may go through the verses to supply the references.

There is also a rapture reference in the Feast of Trumpets. From that day to Atonement (day of judgement) is ten days. After the third day the high priest is taken into the chamber in the temple to be kept safe until Atonement. That would line up with Isaiah 26 referring to the raptured saints as being kept in the chamber while the Lord's indignation is poured out on earth. In this scenario 2022 was the Feast of trumpets, and 2020-2022 was the sign indicating the day of the Lord was at hand (Pandemic, Vaccine mandate, and Russia invading Ukraine. Stolen election and handing over our military equipment and base in Afghanistan as quid pro quo would also be part of the evidence that the day of judgment was at hand).

There is also evidence in the Bible (Revelation 3:3) that many Christians will know the time of the Lord's return prior to it happening.

I will work on putting together the evidence on this.

John 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! G1388

δόλος dólos, dol'-os; from an obsolete primary verb, δέλλω déllō (probably meaning to decoy; compare G1185); a trick (bait), i.e. (figuratively) wile:—craft, deceit, guile, subtilty.

First use:

Matthew 26:4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, G1388 and kill him.

This is the primary characteristic of a snake.

Mark 7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, G1388 lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

These are the evil thoughts that proceed from man's heart and defile him.

Mark 14:1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, G1388 and put him to death.

This is the term for witch craft. They refer to it as "craft".

Acts 13:10 And said, O full of all subtilty G1388 and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

God is the one who knows the heart.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Why would someone foolish preach to Nathaniel? Sometimes this is how the word of God operates because it is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

At this point there have been many, many false prophets claiming to have had a word from the Lord about the date of the rapture. So it is perfectly reasonable to be skeptical, cautious, and careful. But at the same time that doesn't eliminate the need to check this out.

 

[ZNP]

Ezekiel 5:1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.

The word of God is living. Yes, you can look at this word as a historical document, you can look at it as a prophecy that was fulfilled on Israel, and you can also look at it to see how it applies to you, today. That is why it is good for teaching, good for correction. When we see this word about hair we should be reminded of two things. Hair represents our dedication to the Lord as in the Nazarite vow. Samson's hair represented his vow to God. The other thing we are told about hair is that it is a covering and glory given to women. So then the covering, the glory, and the full extent of their vow to God is going to be shaved off and put on the scale.

2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.

This is stunning, I would have thought a third part would be saved. But this is historically accurate. When Jerusalem was under siege a third part was burned, a third part was smitten with the sword and a third part was scattered to the wind, to the four corners of the earth. Their covering was removed, their glory was removed, and their vow to God was completely consumed. This was because they rejected Jesus Christ as the Messiah. The Jews were given two thousand years from the time of Abraham to learn about the Messiah so that when He came they would be right with Him. This is what happens to those who rejected Him. Do you really think that word does not apply to the rest of the world? The gospel has gone out into the world for the last two thousand years, we have all been given an opportunity to know Jesus Christ, some have received Him but to those who reject Jesus Christ you know what the judgement will be because we saw what the judgment was on the Jews who rejected Him.

3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts. 4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.

At first I thought these few represented the remnant who are saved. But no, this represents those who see the judgment coming and run and hide. They also do not receive Jesus Christ as savior, instead they are "preppers". They think they can hide in the woods and survive that way.

5 Thus saith the Lord God; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her. 6 And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.

Isn't it strange that many Christians have no problem saying that the US has been set up as a light to the nations, nor do they have any problem admitting that the US has changed the Lord's judgments into wickedness more than any nation, and yet they can't see that this word applies to the US.

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you; 8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.

There are only two nations on earth that claim to walk in the statutes of the Lord, that is the US and Israel. When I was younger I didn't understand why they said the US was a Christian nation. But then I went to England for a year and to Taiwan for eight years and I understood. The rest of the world looks to the US and to Israel as examples of those who follow God's statutes. There is a blessing to that but also a warning of a stern judgment. There is a blessing if you lead others to God but there is a fearful punishment if you mislead them.

 

[ZNP]

Ezekiel 5:9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

It is easy to think that the US government is no more abominable than Iran or Afghanistan or France. But the difference is our influence. It may be that we are doing the same thing, but we are doing it 100x more than any of the other nations. For example, just think of the influence Hollywood has on the world. Sure, India has Bollywood and England has the BBC, and Hong Kong has their movie industry, but those are all small fry compared to the influence of the US.

10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.

Paul referred to his children in the spirit as "his joy and crown". That is the kind of children that humans would have. But snakes would have a brood of vipers, and the same thing with spiders. The children that come from all these abominations will eat their parents. Likewise with other creatures where the parents will eat the children. You reap what you sow, and if you are sowing children of the abominations then you will reap children of the abominations.

11 Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.

Why would this judgement not also apply to the US. We saw it carried out on Israel. When I was a teacher I had to apply punishments to kids who violated certain rules. Without fail they would always say "this is not fair". I would question them in front of the other 30+ kids "are you saying that I do not treat the other kids the same?" They would never say that because the other 30 would immediately rebuke them, they all know I treat everyone the same. Then I tell the kid, that is the definition of fair, I treat everyone the same. What you mean is that this rule you broke is not right. They agree. Then I tell them, fine, what you need to do is graduate HS, graduate college, graduate from graduate school, pass a few other exams, become a teacher, and then you can make the rules. My point is we are not God, He makes the rules, but even God will not want to appear biased or "unfair". God created spiders to catch and kill insects, not humans. He created snakes to catch and kill mice, not humans. Man is not created to behave like a spider or like a snake. We are made to express God, if you violate that rule you will suffer.

12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

There are three kinds of punishment, why? As you have done it will be done to you. Have you killed others with your toxic brew? Then you die in the pestilence. Have you been greedy for gain while others starve? Then you die in the famine. Do you use lawfare like the mafia threatening to break someone's legs? Then you fall by the sword. Did you think that you could simply go along by shutting your eyes and ears to the evil? Then you will be scattered by the winds to the four corners of the earth and all that see the evil that comes on you will shut their eyes and ears.

13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.

God is a God of peace, a peace that passes all understanding. After the big storm passes then we will have peace. I liken this to a big hurricane, you see the trees that are down, the houses that are destroyed, but in the midst of all the destruction there will be a few houses that seem to have weathered the storm very well. God gives us instructions on how to build our house to weather the storm, if you ignore Him, if you skimp, if you cut corners, then it will all be revealed after the storm passes. But if you followed those instructions and dug down to the rock of our salvation, then you will have peace. Think about Noah and his family after the flood. They come out of the ark and they had peace.

14 Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.

In other words God will make the US the "town dump". There is a landfill outside the city, that is where everything that is waste and a reproach is dumped. Pride goes before a fall and who is more proud than the US?

15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the Lord have spoken it.

There is a purpose to God's judgments. When some kid violated the rules of the classroom they had to be punished in a way that warned the rest of the kids. If you don't deal with this then all the other kids will become disruptive and when you try and deal with them they will rightly say that you aren't fair. This is why if you are a smart teacher you will have a "Tom Brady" in your class. Bill Belichick would come down hard on Tom in the team meetings. He did that because he knew Tom could take it and all the other people will think "if he treats Tom who is a hall of fame quarterback this way, you know he'll treat me this way". So everyone was warned, everyone towed the line.

16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread: 17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee: and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it.
