Originally when I started this blog the stated goal was to find and examine every verse about the rapture and to focus on everything other than when it is. It seemed to me that everyone who talked about the rapture only cared about "when" and that seemed nutty since Jesus told us no one knows the day or hour.
Now recently I did a study where 13 of these prophecies or types of the rapture all appear to converge on September 11, 2026. The issue is I haven't talked about everything else these stories tell us other than "when". That is what I want to do now.
Let's begin with Samson pushing out the pillars. Once we add the September 11th date it gives a whole new meaning to this story. The Philistines were ruling over the Israelites and were abusive to them. This is what 911 was. They used this as a pretense to start a war with Iraq. Now think about that, Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with Al Qaeda or Osama Bin Laden. Immediately after the attack Osama was hiding in a cave in Afghanistan, and later was found in a compound in Pakistan. The 19 hijackers were primarily from Saudi Arabia. Now we can theorize why attackers from Saudi Arabia where their leader was hiding in Afghanistan would provoke the US to attack Iraq, but that is the fact of what happened. Granted, Saudi Arabia is our most important ally in the Middle East and immediately after the attack on 911 it was only people from Saudi Arabia allowed to fly over the US. But instead of theorizing why, simply state the facts. The US focused all our resources and energy on a war with the one country that had nothing to do with 911. We even went to the UN and lied about "weapons of mass destruction" to get other countries to join us in this war. Now Iraq had the second largest amount of natural reserves in oil in the region, second only to Saudi Arabia. That is also a fact (technically Iran is not in the Middle East). So like it or not, as a direct result of 911 the US put their military in the Middle East and seized control of the second largest reserves of oil in the region. That is what you need to see, because of that day many American men went to war, approximately 2.2 million American personnel fought in the two Iraq wars. More than 4,500 Americans killed in the two wars and 32,000 wounded. These were "patriotic" Americans going to fight a nation they thought had attacked us on 911 and had the weapons to cause massive harm to the US. Neither of those things were true. Now at the same time as the second Iraq war we also had the mortgage meltdown. This is a story of how banks figured out how to completely scam people out of their homes using balloon mortgages. What they did was illegal, thousands of bankers should have gone to jail for this crime, but not a single American banker was even prosecuted and instead the US taxpayers bailed out the banks and gave them money for big bonuses they paid themselves. These two events proved to people how much the leaders of this nation hate them and despise them. It led to the tea party movement which later became "MAGA", a populist political movement motivated to get justice for the unrighteous acts committed by the US. This led to Donald Trump being elected in 2016.
I would liken the Philistines to the US government and the deep state, and the populist movement that was animated by Christians standing for justice as "the strong man". Granted, MAGA is a mixed multitude, but what makes this movement strong is the Christians at the heart of this movement who had never gotten involved in politics prior to this. I am going to skip a lot of the biggest battles of "MAGA" and jump to the 2024 election where Trump won a second term. Everyone in Trump's administration credits this victory to the work done by Charlie Kirk. He was definitely an instrumental part of MAGA with his TPUSA ministry on college campuses. When he was assassinated on September 10th, 2025 I would liken that to Samson having his eyes put out. I would also liken all the political leaders at his memorial to the Deep state gloating over their "victory" over the strong man, this populist movement.
Think how fitting it will be for Jesus Christ, the one indwelling this strong man movement, to push the pillars out on September 11th. Everything began there when the two towers were destroyed. We may not know the full truth of what happened on that day, but Jesus does. Samson pushes out the two pillars at the temple of Dagon, a god of global trade (technically he was the god of grain, but grain was the key component in global trade at the time of Samson). 911 brought down the twin towers, known as "the world trade center" and this led to the US moving their military into the middle east to protect world trade of oil, or you could also say to "seize control of world trade of oil". A sacrifice is the the act of giving up something of value, importance, or desire for the sake of something else considered to be of greater worth or importance.
This is what happened on 911, either you believe it was orchestrated by the deep state or you believe it was a coincidence, either way this was the result. Not only did the US put their military in the Middle East they wrote a blank check for robots, drones and AI development. So the icing on the cake is not only do they send the kids to fight a war against a country that had nothing to do with 911 and then steal the houses of their family members, but all of this is done so that robots and AI can take their jobs as well.
So it is very fitting for the Lord to push out the pillars holding up the global economy, the. unsung heroes who do all the work to hold up this temple to global trade on this day. It is fitting that the temple comes crashing down on this day. Also, consider who Delilah is. TPUSA was infiltrated by the deep state. The ministry was absolutely essential for them to seize power and when Charlie Kirk began to question their policies about Israel and where the money was disappearing to, that was when he was assassinated. MAGA elected Trump a second time because the economy was good under him and he did not lead us into war. That changed in 2025 when we bombed Iran, that led to Charlie Kirk questioning his alliance, and since his assassination Trump has jumped into war with both feet bringing the global economy down in the process. MAGA got duped by the deep state and the first one to see that was Charlie Kirk.

So 911 can be seen as "a great sacrifice" for World trade by those that worship Dagon. That is the point of the previous post.
However, September 10th, 2025 can be seen as a sacrifice to the Lord. I'm not talking about the assassin who killed Charlie Kirk, I'm talking about Charlie Kirk taking a stand despite knowing he was risking his life because He had given his life to the Lord. We all live in darkness until we are saved and we all must make a decision on whether or not to sacrifice our life for the Lord. I know that is not a popular doctrine in Christianity, the popular doctrine is that you don't have to sacrifice your life, Jesus sacrificed His so that you don't. That is a distortion, the real Biblical doctrine is what Jesus said to the rich young ruler when He talked about the good Samaritan. "You, go and do likewise". Jesus' death on the cross paid a price we couldn't pay, that is true, but it was also an example for us and we have been told to take up our cross and follow Him in the path that He pioneered.
So when we look at the story about Esther she has two banquets for the king, one day apart. A banquet is a sacrifice. Charlie Kirk's death was a sacrifice, it was a banquet. Don't get this twisted, the assassin and those behind the assassin will be accountable for their crime and they cannot argue that they were doing God's will. No, the banquet was because Charlie Kirk stood strong to do God's will despite knowing it would cost him his life.
The first banquet involved Haman, the evil man planning the deaths of God's people and a coup. That is the Antichrist kingdom we know about in the book of Revelation. The second banquet is on the next day. So 9/10 is Charlie Kirk taking a stand for righteousness and 9/11 is when the evil conspirators who plotted to have the Antichrist kingdom are exposed for what they are. According to the story Mordecai is raised up and glorified on the morning of the second banquet and on the morning of 9/11 at 9 am was when the attack on the twin towers came, so that is fitting. In the evening is the banquet and the evening of 9/11/2026 is when the Feast of Trumpets begins. Between 9am and 5pm we had three buildings collapse, not two. If the two pillars represent the church, the pillar and base of the truth, being raptured, then the third building represents Haman being exposed and judged and hanged.

With the story of Samson we see the worship of Dagon, global trade, and we see the destruction of that temple. This is referenced in Revelation when they say the destruction of the Great Babylon causes all the ship captains to weep because they can no longer get rich off of trade. In Esther we see Mordecai dressed in sackcloth interceding on behalf of God's people. We see Esther risking her life, we see how much Haman hates them and wants to kill them and we see his judgment.
In the story of Elijah calling down fire we see two different groups. We see all the Israelites caught between the gospel preached by the Prophets of Baal and the gospel preached by Elijah. We see the faithful witnesses are outnumbered by the charlatans 400 to 1. We see that after the rapture event, the fire falling from heaven the true ministry of Elijah flees to the wilderness after the 400 prophets of Baal are killed and we see that Jezebel, the evil queen of Israel is now dedicated to destroying those who are part of this genuine ministry. These are like separate puzzle pieces that when we put them together give us a complete picture. Jezebel would be similar to Vashti in the story with Esther and similar to Delilah in the story with Samson.

So we have covered Samson, Esther and Elijah. Now we come to Adonijah.
What do we see, there is an attempt to usurp the throne from Solomon by Adonijah. This is 100% within the kingdom of Israel. You could argue that Elijah was also 100% within Israel, but the Prophets of Baal were the usurpers from the prophets of God.
But this is political usurpation, not religious. Solomon would be a type of the ascended Christ and Adonijah is a type of the Antichrist. Recently the Sandhedrin appealed to heaven for the Messiah to come. They are not referring to Jesus, they are referring to the Antichrist. This is something clearly coming out of this banquet that Adonijah is at to usurp the throne from Solomon, only this is the Antichrist usurping the throne from Jesus. You see the faithful ones like Nathan appealing to the throne, and you see the vast majority of the rulers in Israel siding with the false messiah (anointed one). The rapture event is when they blow the trumpets to announce Solomon has been crowned and that is when Adonijah and all his confederates are exposed and revealed.

Now this brings us to the prophecy about an earthquake, followed by the sun being darkened, the stars of heaven falling and then the moon becoming blood all before the great and terrible day of the Lord.
I have shown that there is only one other time in the last 1,000 years this has happened (if you narrow the sun being darkened to the peak of the Perseids meteor shower and that in that year and decade we had tremendous upheaval to the powers that be in Europe, China, Africa and the Middle East.
A solar eclipse is considered judgement on the nations of the Earth. To take place during the peak of meteors falling to earth indicates a lot of leaders falling and being replaced. This is followed by a blood moon which indicates judgement on Israel. The Perseid meteor shower is always one month before the Feast of Trumpets, and the solar eclipse is always one month before the Feast of trumpets so this becomes a 30 day warning prior to the Feast of Trumpets which announces the coming of King Jesus. The day of the Lord is a seven year period known as the 70th week, and a week of years always begins on Rosh Hoshanah which is the Feast of Trumpets.
This is what we see with Samson, judgement on the nations, it is what we see with Elijah, judgment on false prophets, it is what we see with Adonijah, judgment on Israel.
These signs show that the judgment must come first before the Lord comes. With Esther we see there is a price to pay, Christians must stand up and be faithful to pay that price, like Charlie Kirk did, in order to pave the way for the Lord to come.

In these cases we see the judgment. Elijah slays the 400 prophets of Baal that were working for Jezebel or supporting her reign. We know from the case with Naboth's vineyard how she operated, accusing Naboth of blasphemy and stoning him to death, this was righteous judgement on them. Likewise with Samson, they used Delilah as a spy to infiltrate Samson's life, spy on him, and betray him, bringing judgment down on his head. Well Samson infiltrates their house, and they think they are going to have sport with him and he is going to entertain them, instead he brings their house down on their heads. Haman builds a gallows and then is hanged on his own gallows, this is an example of righteous judgement, with what measure you measure it will be measured to you. Adonijah is a little different, it seems he was planning a coup without actually carrying it out. He is more careful and more deceitful. So Solomon is equally careful and deceitful making it appear that this was a "no harm no foul" event without consequences, but when Adonijah made a second play for the throne then the trap was sprung and Adonijah is judged.
14 The sower soweth the word. 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
In this parable the constant is the word of God, the variable is the ground that it falls on. These four different grounds all have four different outcomes, and so they would also have four different judgments. But then, even on the good ground, you still have three different outcomes. Therefore it is foolish to think that an event like the rapture is "binary" either you are raptured or you are not. The reality is that the day of the Lord is the day of the Lord's judgment and that is going to be an incredibly complex event. One of the major issues I have with a great deal of eschatology is that it does not factor in how incredibly complex it is to judge the world with billions of people having a variety of different situations. Now the wayside might not actually be saved, it says the word is sown into their hearts but is immediately snatched away by Satan. But the stony ground and the thorns are those where the word of God sprouted. So backsliders and the apostasy can certainly be composed of those in which the word of God has sprouted.

So then, what does it mean to bear fruit?
Mark 4:21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? 22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
I plant a fruit bearing tree so that later I can get fruit from it. I buy a candle so that when I light it I can get light. If you are on your job and see corruption but keep quiet because you don't want to lose your job then you are a candle that has been put under a bushel. That wasn't the Lord's doing, that was your choice. You decided the bushel is more important than your conscience. Likewise if you see corruption but are too lazy to do anything about it, that also is your choice. You buried your talent. For a candle to bear fruit means it shines its light and reveals the things that are kept secret.

The picture here is that each one of us received the word of God, it sprouted and grew into a plant or tree that bears fruit. We are a "ministry" or a "conduit" for life and light. Think about how much water and nutrients an apple tree takes in compared to when it was simply a sprout. As you grow in your ministry the measure you receive can grow. If you are a good conduit for life and light so that what the Lord gives you will in turn be given to the body of Christ then He will give you more and more. On the other hand if you hide your light in order to not make waves and because you are lazy then of course will find another servant who is faithful.

Here's the list of sins/charges leveled against "Babylon/Manhattan" in the transcript, pulled directly from the text:
- Rebellion/refusal to repent — "refused to repent and stiffened your necks more against your holy God"
- Abortion — "enslaving its own children, those who they do not kill inside the mother's womb"
- Child sex trafficking/exploitation — "making slaves of them for the perverse enjoyment of men, women... who seek to defile them before they murder them"
- Idol worship / false gods — "openly display a false god in the waters of Manhattan's city's edge" (apparent reference to a statue), "your open worship of Baal and other false gods"
- Hypocrisy — professing "In God We Trust" on currency while practicing idolatry ("your nation's money states, in God we trust... while you openly display a false god")
- Sorcery/witchcraft — stated directly
- Blackmail/political corruption — "your schemes of blackmail against nations"
- Satanic allegiance — "your joining to Satan to Lucifer, binding the use of your souls for the dark kingdom's use"
- Child sacrifice / ritual cannibalism — "you sell your own children as prostitutes while eating the flesh of babies and drinking their blood"
- Pretextual/manufactured wars — "devise plots to tear down other nations and wage war on others when something they have you desire... display to the world it's an act of aggression needed to maintain world peace"
- Global financial dominance used corruptly — tied to "financial transactions of world trades and deals," "a grand building built on the bones of the innocent"
- General "vileness"/wickedness — used as a catch-all repeatedly
- Revelation 18:10, 17, 19 — this is the closest scriptural parallel to the transcript's phrasing. Three times the text repeats "in one hour your judgment has come" / "in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste." The emphasis is on suddenness, not a specific calendar timeframe — Babylon's fall is portrayed as swift and unexpected rather than tied to a countdown.
- Daniel 5 — the writing on the wall against Belshazzar's Babylon: judgment falls "that very night." Again, suddenness rather than a fixed date.
- Isaiah 13 and 21, Jeremiah 50–51 — these oracles against historical Babylon describe it as coming "suddenly" and use the picture of labor pains arriving unexpectedly, but none of them attach a specific number of days, months, or years.
So the consistent thread across all these texts is suddenness, not a disclosed timetable.
3. Fire followed by sinking into the sea?
- Fire: Revelation 18:8–9 does describe Babylon being "burned with fire" and kings weeping as they watch the smoke of her burning — so the fire imagery has a direct scriptural source.
- Sinking into water: Revelation 18:21 describes a "mighty angel" throwing "a stone like a great millstone" into the sea and declaring, "So will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and shall be found no more." This is the closest match to a "sinks into the ocean" image — but it's explicitly a symbolic enacted parable.
18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. 19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. 20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
I am marveling already. This man was dwelling among the tombs, he was bound repeatedly with fetters and chains which I suppose makes him a felon, no one was able to tame him, and he was crying and cutting himself. He sounds like a homeless man who was a repeat felon who is acting mentally crazy. And now he is publishing? He is an author? Yes, that seems like an incredible story. Every one of us has a testimony, not every one has a testimony like this guy. But if you were a felon who got saved, or a homeless person who got saved, or someone who had previously been impossible to tame, many of us have testimonies that are similar to some aspects of this person.
But not only so but when the unclean spirit came out of him it caused an entire dirty industry to be cleaned up. He is an example of the Lord redeeming "a candle" and the light exposed the dark and evil things and they in turn fled into the sea. If we would be faithful to the Lord that when we hear Him speak we obey, and we are also faithful every day to seek His face and to get a word from the Lord, then our light will grow. Ultimately you too will have experiences of seeing unclean spirits flee from the light.

Evangelicals are the most vocal and most ardent in opposing a CBDC, they see it as a precursor to the mark of the Beast, they are the most vocal against the W.H.O. and the UN seeing them as a bridge to the Antichrist reign, and they are the most vocal against the ecumenical movement, seeing it as the one world religion in the book of Revelation. In other nations on earth the evangelicals have little to no influence on the direction their government and nation is taking, but in the US they do. They don't support Trump because he is a Christian, they support him because he is against this one world government (at least that is how he presents himself).
So then, the hypothesis is that after 8 years of Obama and the seeming certainty that Hillary Clinton would be the next president, everything was in place to move the world to a one world government, one world global currency and one world religion. The council of 13 understood they would need a crisis to make the move and that a health crisis would be a viable mechanism. Covid19 was used to test all the systems, gather data on what works and where the most trouble would be, and strengthen the laws governing global pandemics. However, Hillary's loss was a shock. They thought they had the election guaranteed with dominion machines, but they were caught by surprise by the incredible support that Trump got. They didn't give up, they thought if they could steal the election in 2020 and beat down the ardent supporters of Trump they could get the US in line through four year Biden term. This failed. Trump's victory in 2024 changes the strategy from the US ceding authority to the US having to be destroyed.
The Antichrist system is well aware that the biggest hinderance to a one world government are the Evangelicals. Many Christians who are not evangelical think the Evangelicals are causing the problems and would prefer to "get along" with the beast. After the rapture they will discover their error. The problem is sin and the man of lawlessness, not the Evangelicals who were restraining him, and there is no compromise or "getting along" with Satan.
Meanwhile social media was put in place to greatly improve the data they have on all citizens, particularly the Christians. But since then AI has stepped in to truly change the equation, not simply spying on people and creating a dossier on them, but also on being used to manipulate opinions and squash non sanctioned opinions. Currently it is simply experimenting with a variety of approaches to manipulating public opinion while also documenting those that will be the most difficult to impossible to manipulate. But after the rapture the use of AI will become draconian in its censorship and surveillance.

Mark 6:1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. 2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. 4 But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
This is God's wisdom. If our friends and family were receptive then we would be prone to just speak and preach to them. For example, I thought that at most ten people would be interested in this subject. Why? Because none of my friends or family are. I don't hide the fact that I have a blog and I don't advertise either. If someone wants to know how I spend my time I tell them, otherwise I don't bring it up. Everyone in my family knows, that is about twenty people and probably that many friends as well. To my knowledge only two people from that group actually has gone to the blog to check it out.
But here is the thing, I felt so compelled to dive into this topic that didn't matter to me, I figured if there were ten other people interested that would justify making the blog public. How did 857,000 people find this? I don't know.
What does this have to do with the "rapture"? The rapture as noted in the last day or two is a sudden, even "violent" snatching away and is similar to what happens during the harvest. Therefore fruit growing unto maturity is a key component of what the rapture is. If you are not ripe knowing the day the workers will be harvesting is not going to help you, but if you are ripe then you can experience the rapture. Jesus told us the way to become His disciple indeed is to bear fruit.
But what about my family and friends? I care about them. Exactly, God needs someone to pray for them and He needs someone else to speak to them. I can't pray for people that I don't know, you can. Therefore it is God's wisdom that the people you know can't receive the word from you, but they'll receive it from others. So then pray that the Lord send someone to speak to those you love and care about. Pray that they would receive that word. Pray that you would be a good testimony of Jesus so that when they look at you they'll see that testimony. Pray they would have a hunger and a desire for God's word. Pray they would become acutely aware that they need salvation and pray the Lord would surround them so that they would realize God is pursuing them and someone is praying for them.

8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
When I started on this journey, this blog, I did not take anything. The blog was free, I didn't have to pay anything to start posting. I didn't spend any money on the blog or on advertising. I didn't go to books on the rapture and start quoting or summarizing them. I didn't try to push the doctrine I was raised on. However, I did bring the tools I would need, just like you would bring a staff. You use that to fight off the wild animals that might attack, to test the depth of the water you are going to cross, and to help you cross difficult terrain. Blue Letter Bible was my staff.
9 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
My feet are shod with the gospel of peace and I travel light. Total reliance on the Lord to provide the light and revelation and a very simple ministry. No fancy effects. In a day and age when everyone is making videos I chose to write a blog. Why? It seems much simpler for someone to cut and paste if they like something.
10 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
I have been on two previous Christian forums but was forced to leave those two. Technically they didn't force me to leave, they suspended me without notice and without any violation of any rule. On one site they claim they are Christian but it is dominated by Atheists and the purpose is to lure Christians to the site and beat them down. They couldn't beat me down so they suspended me. Another site was a particular sect of Christians who are very specific in their interpretation of the word and are not receptive to those who might challenge that. In both cases I didn't violate any rules, I simply discovered I had been suspended for thirty days without notice and without explanation and without any avenue for appeal.
11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
So that is what I did. The same day I discovered I had been suspended I shook the dust off and moved on. This also happened to me on Facebook, so this forum is now the fourth place I have found to have a blog. But I learned. I have kept private copies of my posts in the event I get booted again. This experience is similar to Isaac digging a well and then having it seized from him and having to keep moving on until he was able to be in peace.
Again, what does this have to do with the rapture? In Revelation 3 the synagogue of Satan comes and bows to Philadelphia and confess that God is with them. This is what happens after the rapture, it is a testimony to all the believers who are left behind. For example, no one was interested in Tom Brady or his opinions when he was first drafted. During his career that didn't change, either people loved him or hated him, but few if any were asking him for advice. Even after tremendous success there was a lot of debate about him, but it wasn't until he won his seventh Superbowl that all of that changed. This is how it will be with the raptured saints. After the rapture those left behind will want to receive from them. How? It is very likely that the internet will be shut down and not reopened until it is completely under the control of the Antichrist. Instead of the real blogs and words from those who were raptured you will get deep fakes and distorted words. That is why I have put everything I have on Pdf's for anyone and everyone to download. It can all be stored on a cheap flash drive. It would cost you $1 or $2 at most of storage space on a flash drive. I will reshare these Pdfs in the next post.
