1Thessalonians 2:1 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
The same is true of this blog and the ministry of other watchmen as well. We have been sounding the news that Jesus Christ, the King, is returning. Step by step over the last few years we have gotten closer and closer to this day as we have seen many prophetic fulfillments.
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
Let's be real, there has been a lot of insults, mockery and scoffing of this message but that has not stopped us from speaking. I use the plural because this blog involves many links to others who are also speaking.
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
Deceit refers to a mental straying about, delusion. This blog has filtered out 80% of what I have heard, if not more. There is a whole lot of people trying to discern what is happening from the movies, in almost all cases I have filtered that out. However, there is one brother who does a very good job of connecting what is being said in the movies to what the occult's game plan is, and then tying that to the Bible. Then you have the morally unclean who have twisted the word of God to say what they want it to say. I don't know if I posted anything from them at all, if I did, I did it to rebut and rebuke their doctrines. Guile refers to a very subtle deceit, witchcraft. These are those who try to control you with manipulation and intimidation. That has been where much of my prayer has been lately, and of course this would include AI, people telling you that Christians need to embrace this technology.
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
This is why I avoid people with these big ministries with a million subscribers. In the majority of those cases they will be people pleasers. Every now and then someone like Joshua will come along, everyone will hear of it and so I will also learn of him and investigate. But I avoid posting links to anyone who is simply parroting what we have already discovered because even AI can do that.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
Have you noticed how AI uses flattering words all the time and it is a cloak of covetousness. AI is a thief. It stole every single bit of copyrighted material and now, if you get it to edit your writing it will steal your ideas as well. AI is practiced at deception, that is what a deep fake is, and they will use AI to do deep fakes of people who preach the word of God so that if it is possible they might even deceive the elect.
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
People can be covetous of money and they can also be covetous of glory. They demand recognition, attribution, etc. That is burdensome. You can see some in these channels trying to give attribution to this person or that person and it becomes clear that people are complaining that someone said something that they think they were the first one to say it.
This is why I put the tag line "Freely you have received, freely give" so that everyone would know you don't have to worry about that with this blog. I am not concerned with any of that. I serve the Lord Jesus Christ, His is the only opinion I care about.

1 Thessalonians 2:16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
What many do not realize is that churches who have a board of directors will often be forbidden from saying certain things.
For example,
How often do you hear about the Antichrist from your pastor during his sermon? You would think this would be a very important topic, but if the Antichrist is going to deceive the elect they have to prevent them from being educated as to how to discern the Antichrist. FreeMasons are satanists and they will put people on the board of directors of these various churches to keep them from teaching the flock certain things.
Did you know that prophecy is 30% of the Bible and if you apply the principle that "that which has been is that which will be" you can see prophetic patterns in another 30% of the Bible. You would think that every single sermon would be sprinkled to references to prophecy, the patterns, the fulfillment and the relevant current events. However, most pastors are completely silent on this. Why? It is because they are told not to talk about prophecy.
Then look at who is the most outraged and arrogant in responding to the videos and other posts about prophecy and the Antichrist on the internet. It isn't unbelievers, it is people proclaiming to be believers who think they have the authority to forbid us to speak.

He refers to AI as a tool like a knife or a gun.
I think that is a very poor analogy. With a knife or a gun you can own it, you can control it, and you can decide what it is used for. That is not true of AI. You don't own it and you certainly can't control it nor can you decide what it is used for.
For example, let's say you make some searches on the internet using AI to help you. It is like google, only more powerful, faster, and more helpful. You think that in that case you did control it and you did decide what it is used for. You are wrong.
Because in addition to everything you think, that AI is keeping a record, building a file on you. This is what they did with Social Media and Facebook. They were able to create a file on each person, find out who your circle of friends and family are, find out what church you attend, etc. But AI is different, it wants to know what you are interested in, and it wants to know how easily you are deceived. Are you someone it can easily manipulate, if so how, and if not, well that is important to know as well.
Think about how the FBI infiltrates some organization like the Black Panthers. You have a person who joins and he has something to offer so he becomes the right hand man in the organization. You might think, so what, I am not doing anything illegal. Well they will prompt you to do something illegal. Look at all these so called Christians arguing for Christians to do things that are contrary to our status as ambassadors of the kingdom of the heavens where the things taking place in the political realm are not our kingdom just as the Lord said. This is precisely what AI is doing. It is a trojan horse, it looks like a gift, but beware. Do you know what is hiding within that horse?
Christians have been warned that the Antichrist kingdom is rising, and that once it is here they will be hunting down Christians to take the mark of the beast or else die. First you want to compile a file on everyone. You use these "smart phones" to track your movements so they know every place that you know about. You use social media so that they know every person that you know, and you use AI to get to know what makes you tick, who you believe, how can they manipulate you if that is possible.
a great victory for the church and a catastrophic loss for the kingdom of darkness.
They then compare this to Goliath's sword which was modern technology saying that David did not kill Goliath with the stone, he killed him with the sword.
OK, so Jesus Christ is the greater David and if you are indwelt by Jesus and one with Him it is fully possible that He will lead you to use AI to slay the enemy only after you have knocked out the enemy with one of these stones. The word of God is a stone and when you hurl it, it becomes a living stone, a word of God activated by prayer.
I subscribe to one of these AI services. I don't use it to edit or write. I do use it to retrieve names of people that are rulers, kings, and in one way or another exercising dominion so that I can pray for them by name. It is hard to estimate how many names so far, but probably about 5,000. So far I have prayed for people involved in the occult, elected officials, judges, corporate executives, and billionaires. I saw a story about Burning Man and so dug up as many names about them as possible and prayed for them. I heard a testimony about a man who got saved and so used his testimony to dig up as many names as possible and pray for them. There was a story about 37 names that were called the architects of Russiagate, so I prayed for them.
Saul of Tarsus was persecuting Jesus when he got saved, and his salvation was a great victory for the church and a catastrophic loss for the kingdom of darkness.
We are appointed to afflictions
1 Thessalonians 3:3 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. 4 For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
False prophets have a profit motive. It is necessary that the apostles and those who take a stand for the Lord to suffer afflictions and tribulations as a result so that there is no possibility that they are acting out of covetousness.
Free Masons become Free Masons because it will advance their career. This is how the kingdom of darkness operates, this is what it means to "sell your soul to the devil". There cannot be any confusion with Christians, we look for a better kingdom, this one is not our home, and we are not like Balaam, becoming a false prophet for a house full of gold.

How you ought to walk and please God
1 Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
This is why I hate this insipid doctrine of "once saved always saved". It short circuits the entire New Testament. It claims that asking how we should walk and please God is "salvation by works". That is baloney.
2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
That is right, the New Testament gives us commandments. Those ones who throw little tantrums about OSAS will say we are no longer under the law.
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
OSAS focuses on justification to the total exclusion of sanctification. But the will of God is our sanctification. Fornication and witchcraft go hand in hand. One definition of witchcraft is the attempt to control others, either by manipulation or intimidation. If you feel someone is manipulating you or trying to intimidate you so they can control you, that is something you want to flee.
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
Think about this, you are vessel. You will contain whatever it is you come into contact with. If you watch TV, watch sports, hang out with certain friends, etc. This is how we are created. Now if you come to a church meeting and realize you must act differently from when you are around your friends, then you are going down a path to become a hypocrite. That is two faced. If you want to be a vessel in the house of God in sanctification and honour then you must be fully separated unto God.
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
Think about the jokes that people will tell at work, they are in the lust of concupiscence. But that reveals they don't know God. If you do know God why are you pretending you don't?
6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. If people are telling jokes about defrauding his brother in any matter then you have a nasty piece of the Satanic world growing in your heart. Think of this as the Lord exposing something that needs to be dealt with. Pray that it be removed from your heart, that you would be washed by the blood of Jesus and move on, don't ignore this.

To be raptured is to be a vessel unto honor
1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Everyone assumes that these are the verses about the rapture. But what is the rapture? God is taking the vessels that belong to Him to the heavenly temple where they belong. If you are fully sanctified, fully given to the Lord then of course, He will take you. But if you are two faced, pretending to be one of the gang at work, then it is not clear, who do you belong to? You are like the girl who is engaged to be married to one guy but hangs out with her other friends clubbing and doing all kinds of things that would make others stop and say "wait, isn't she engaged to someone else?" There are definitely verses in the Bible that say once you are saved no one can take you out of the Lord's hand. But Paul did not share that in the first half of this chapter. No, he told us how we ought to walk so that we would be a vessel fully sanctified unto God, a vessel of honor. If you are raptured you are a vessel unto honor.
The chapter is very clear, if you are living in fornication, if you are living in the lust of concupiscence, if you are defrauding your brother in any matter, then you are not a vessel unto honor. If you are living in uncleanness, if you despise what I am saying, you are not despising man, you are despising God. Do you really think that you can go around despising God but then when the rapture comes He will honor you? To be a Christian that is left behind is to be despised by God. You reap what you sow. If you honor God and do what He commands then He will honor you.
1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

My close encounter with Jesus
He says something 20 minutes in that I think is inaccurate. He said that Yom Teruah is a two day feast followed by seven days of Awe and then the day of Judgment.
My understanding is that the ten days leading up to and including the day of Atonement is called Jacob's trouble, and that all ten days are days of awe. He is trying to fit the idea of seven days of tribulation into this ten day period. I read that the High priest is taken to a chamber in the Temple to be kept safe for the last seven days. I see this as the same thing that Isaiah 26 is referring to which is a type of the rapture.
During the ten days of awe the books of life are opened. You have the book of the righteous, the book of the wicked and anyone else is in a gray area. Those in the first book get taken in the rapture, those in the second will suffer judgment and be sent to hell, meanwhile those in the gray area are what we call "left behind saints".
He is also a big proponent of once saved always saved, but it makes no sense trying to fit that into the days of Awe. Why would someone who has not received Jesus Christ as their righteousness be in the book that is a gray area? According to his OSAS doctrine if you receive Jesus you are in the book of righteousness and if you haven't you aren't. But according to the Jews there are three groups, the righteous, the wicked, and the gray area.
Look at my posts #14, 569 and #14, 570 based on 1 Thessalonians 4. That chapter explains that those who are raptured are vessels unto honor and to be a vessel unto honor you need to be sanctified, separated unto the Lord. If the rapture takes place after the first three days, then you would have the tribulation saints, those who were justified but not sanctified as they separate themselves fully from the world. Then after 3 more days they are taken, after 3 1/2 days the two witnesses are killed and then raised on Passover, and then the Jews who are converted will celebrate Jesus Christ as the Messiah at the second passover.
The three books
1. The righteous -- they are justified and sanctified.
2. The sinners -- these are people living in sin. Fornication is a sin. If you have been born again but are still living in fornication you are a sinner. Same goes for idolatry. During the tribulation you will be forced to become fully separated unto God or you will take the mark of the beast and not be saved.
3. The wicked are those who after all this continue to reject Jesus Christ as the Messiah. That is the only unforgivable sin.

1 Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
This is a reference to the appointed times. Why is it that we have no need for Paul to write to us? Because Jesus already told us it would come on the appointed time "no one knows the day and hour". That is a reference to the feast of Trumpets. Not only so but Jesus has already given us all the signs that will indicate His coming. For example we know that it cannot come unless Israel has returned to the land, and that everything will be fulfilled within 80 years or 84 years of them returning. There are two ways to understand the length of time of a generation, and sure enough at the midpoint of the tribulation will be when Israel is 80 and the day of Judgment will be when Israel is 84.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
AI is a thief. It stole all the copyrighted material in existence. Now, if you use AI it will study you so that it can imitate you. It is stealing jobs. The digital currency will steal all your money. They will control whether or not you can buy or sell. Those who take the mark of the beast will be like cattle branded by Satan, he will take their souls. We know this perfectly well because the Antichrist kingdom will be the ultimate worldly kingdom of an all powerful dictator. Take a look at all the dictators in history, they are all thieves.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
We are not talking about some peace treaty in TimBukTu. This must be a reference to a peace treaty with Israel. We have two prophecies in the Old Testament that this treaty will involve splitting the land. It is a thief's solution, and when they do this the wrath of God will be poured out.

1 Thessalonians 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
One interpretation of "no one knows the day or hour" is that Jesus was referring to the Feast of Trumpets, another interpretation is that we will all be in darkness, clueless, and the day will overtake us as a thief. Paul has debunked that interpretation.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
If you are in the world, drinking the worldly wine, you may very well be asleep. These are children of the night. If you go out to the club until 2 AM you are a child of the night. People get drunk at night, people sleep at night. Paul is saying we are children of the day, the Son is shining on us, we are sober, and watching for all the signs the Lord told us of.
There are many different prophecies in both the Old and New Testament that tell us that all this will take place by 2032 and that the seven year period known as the 70th week begins in 2025. The red heifer sacrifice is one example. The UN meeting on September 23 to vote on a peace treaty for Israel in which the land is divided is another. We have had signs in the heavens like the Writing on the Wall sign and the Revelation 12 sign. We have had prophetic speaking from Joshua and Vicki Goforth Parnell.

The red heifer sacrifice is one example. The UN meeting on September 23 to vote on a peace treaty for Israel in which the land is divided is another. We have had signs in the heavens like the Writing on the Wall sign and the Revelation 12 sign. We have had prophetic speaking from Joshua and Vicki Goforth Parnell.
2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
There are some who teach that the Lord's word in Matthew 24 was fulfilled in 70 AD when the temple was destroyed.
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
The word here for temple means sanctuary, it does not refer to the Temple building but simply the sanctuary. We have a sanctuary inside the tabernacle. In 70 AD no one sat in the sanctuary as God. There are three things that must take place: the falling away (the apostasy), then the Antichrist is revealed, and then he sits in the sanctuary. It is extremely likely that the tabernacle has been raised because you can't burn the red heifer unless it is looking into the sanctuary. If this is true it is the first time since 70 AD that it has been raised.

Joshua has shared that the rapture will be on the Feast of Trumpets, September 23 and 24. The feast of Trumpets is the first day of the seventh month. Vicky Goforth Parnell shared about the things that will take place on Labor day. This year Labor day is the first day of September which means the seventh month. I believe this is confirmation.
There are appointed feasts of the Lord and this is proof that God is God, because only God can tell the end from the beginning.
1. Passover -- Jesus was crucified for us precisely according to the sacrifice of the Passover lamb. They even hang up the lamb on the cross to drain the blood.
2. Feast of Unleavened bread -- this is seven days and begins with Passover. You must clean your house of all leaven. It depicts the entire church age. We eat this unleavened bread, we sweep our house to get rid of all the leaven. This can be the old traditions, it can be something of sin or death. When you first get saved you need to purge out all the old leaven. You might have rock and roll albums, you might have idols, you might have many things that the Holy Spirit tells you to get rid of.
3. Then we have the first firstfruit feast. When Jesus rose from the dead there were others who were also raised up out of the dead, these were all offered to God as the first firstfruits and it allows God to bless the rest of the harvest. When you give money to God you create a legally binding contract where God can now protect you.
4. Then we have Shavuot -- this was when Jesus ascended. We have gone over this in great detail, Christianity has made a complete confusion of this but the account in the Bible is clear, it was Shavuot.
5. Then we have Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the church. Have you ever wondered why God saved you? It is because each of us can speak in our own tongue the wonderful works of God. Even if I speak english and ten other brothers speak english, we all speak to different people.
This is where we are right now, each feast has been fulfilled precisely in order, and even to the very day and hour
The next feast is
6. The feast of Trumpets. This is the only feast where you don't know the day and hour. They have to see the new moon, you could have clouds, there are a lot of things that could happen where you can't see the new moon. So it is also called the Longest day, because in this case it could be September 23 or 24. But it is unique among the feasts of the Lord because no one knows the day or the hour. So then Joshua got a word from the Lord saying it would be on the Feast of Trumpets in 2025, we still don't know the day or the hour.
Also there is absolutely nothing in the Bible that says we won't know the year. I and others have shared extensively on why 2025 will be the year that the seven year tribulation begins. Also since we know the seven year tribulation is a "Shemitah" we know that they begin on Feast of Trumpets.

You have been warned
Ezekiel 33:1 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: 3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
