In one week Pentecost will be upon us on June 8th.

Matthew 24:3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?”

This question posed by the disciples were looking for knowledge about a future sign so the righteous would have no doubt about what was coming on the world.

IMO Pentecost would probably be that day and it would be a sign that the world cannot miss. Earthquakes have been my understanding.

Anybody else been led about Pentecost?

Not really. They asked for a sign and Jesus proceeded to give them many signs.

The OT harvest feasts: Passover/barley - Pentecost/wheat - Tabernacles/fruit. These were foreshadows of the coming Soul Harvest/resurrections.

The 1st Soul Harvest/resurrection happened here:

Matt 27:
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
(NOTE: After Jesus' resurrection many bodies of the saints which slept arose, & were seen by many.)

The next soul resurrection/Harvest will happen on Pentecost. This one? I hope & pray YES!

1 Thes 4:
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.

A future Tabernacles will bring about the final soul harvest/resurrection. IMO

For me, I see that was the first day, God Father, the Holy Spirit entered people to see new in love and mercy, and teach us new in his love and mercy given us. Grow in Grace.
People, I see includes myself at first belief, make a mess of being given salvation, trying to do what is already done for them by Son to them. God loves us all y'all, everyone, that is why Son went to that cross willingly, to first reconcile us all as Forgiven by Father to us to be given new life to see new in God's spirit and Truth and love all as Jesus's walk assuredly did that for us all to be thankful in, Thank you Father, otherwise there is no chance for anyone to enter as said in Matthew 19 by Jesus to the disciples then,
With man, it is impossible, with God all things are possible. therefore by Father, Daddy, PaPa in risen son new life has begun with each personal believer between God and them to learn from every mistake one, anyone ever makes again
Psalm 100:4, Psalm 103:12, Ezekiel 36:26

Both Jesus and Paul said the end would come like a thief in the night, so there will be no definite sign except in hindsight.
Just be sure that you are ready, so you will not wonder what happened to your Christian companions when they are suddenly gone!

As has been said, there are many signs. We live in the most dangerous time in history. A nuclear war could send the world back to the stone age. Islam has been infesting the Western world and most people are clueless about the true intent of Muslims. China is building a massive military not seen since the days of Mao, but with much superior technology. Two nuclear armed nations recently started shooting at each other.

I've no doubt as to what is coming on the world. I don't know when, but it seems not far off.

Thank you Brother for bring up this subject, concerning these very last days of earth's history.. Currently my favorite time of prophetic study. "The SOON return of our Savior and King, Jesus" ... Maranatha !!
I'm learning so much more about Jesus, being in these CC discussions, thank you for bring up questions, the study & answers bring me closer to my God.

SO !! Let me pray for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, for insight of TRUTH (Jesus) and then I'll use eSword and AI for all the Bible references that mention the "Latter and former rain" & "Pentecost" I don't want to give MY understanding, of this subject, as my understanding is as "filthy rags" compared to what, the Spirit would want said.

Below is a comprehensive list of Bible references regarding the "significance of the Day of Pentecost to Last Day Events."
I used an AI engine to search out and organize this subject response, as my knowledge of scripture isn't what it should be to give an authoritative bases for a discussion of this subject. I'm still learning as well ( Sanctification ) ... Hope this helps the discussion along. Blessings.


🔹 1. Pentecost as the Type — Latter Rain as the Antitype

I'm sorry Omegatime, ... I understood your post to be asking the question of what is "Pentecost "in relation" to the end times events
So I developed an answer to that ..

I try to walk in the Spirit, rather than the flesh; ~~ Galatians 5:16-17

End time events are not as important as our spiritual relation to them... Our character, " At the End ' will be judged on, how well we relate to one and another, our neighbors, and to our God ... How we present Christ and His Righteousness. ~~ Mark 12:30,31

Christ won, proven being risen from the dead, which, death had to happen first for reconciliation to all people first. Therefore, it is in the risen Son new life in God Father's Spirit and Truth is given to see humbly, to know and not act like one, anyone, knows better than others, just shares this Love and mercy for all to each to see in belief, going to God Father personally and ask How!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God will then start the schooling, as we all make mistakes along the way, Father remains solid in reconciliation by Son for us all, to teach us new from old self works to new work in the risen Son leading us, at least me. Who in Spirit and Truth contains us, at least me this I now see to not sit in the Judgment seat any longer
Seeing Romans 2:1-4 flooring me to see God loves us all y'all. Time to turn to God, you think and God only, then share to all in care for all, since Father through Son obviously loves, loves us first 1 John 4:17-19
Son for me at least

Okay Brother,
Jesus said that there will be signs in the earth and in the heavens, indications, of these last days, and that we better be in a state of "Pentecost" continually imbued, imparted, with the Holy Spirit, having the Righteousness of Christ. Or Not ! Rev. 22: 11

Let me first say, that " I Love how the Holy Spirit Works " Amen

NOW, I'm here with Y'all, WONDERING about these Final Days, just before Christ's return. So let me interject my 2 cents on what's fixin' to happen here REAL SOON .. :) Here's some of what the Bible says about it.

A clear prophetic picture of the cataclysm that will take place at the second coming of Christ.

1. A Mighty Earthquake and Global Upheaval
  • Revelation 16:18-20
    “And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake... And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.”
  • Isaiah 24:19-20
    “The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved... the earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard.”
2. Destruction by Fire
  • 2 Peter 3:10
    “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night... and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”
  • Malachi 4:1
    “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud... shall be stubble.”
  • Isaiah 66:15-16
    “For, behold, the Lord will come with fire... for by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh.”
3. Destruction of the Wicked by Christ's Glory
  • 2 Thessalonians 2:8
    “And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.”
  • Revelation 6:14-17
    “And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together... For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”
4. Plagues and Hailstones
  • Revelation 16:21
    “And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent.”
  • Exodus 9:23-26 (a type)
    Describes fire and hail during the plagues of Egypt, foreshadowing the final judgments.
5. Satan Bound to the Desolate Earth
  • Revelation 20:1-3
    “And I saw an angel come down from heaven... And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up...”
  • Jeremiah 4:23-26
    “I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void... and there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.”
6. Total Desolation of the Earth
  • Isaiah 24:1, 3, 5-6
    “Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty... The land shall be utterly emptied... therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.”
Have Y'all seen the movie, " Knowing "? with Nicolas Cage. It's about our sun going micro-nova and consuming all of the Earth with FIRE, everyone dies. ( We refer to "Hollywood" as Jesuit theater ) cuz the Jesuits started "theater" to teach their propaganda, to "counter the protestant reformation) They quite often "foretell the future", using their "theater" like Bart Simpson holding up a magazine, with the twin towers on it and 9-11.. way before the event happened. Satan likes to rub it in our face and then laugh at us for being "stupid"
( Dietrich Bonheoffer's definition of stupid )

Anyway! Are Y'all aware that the Earth's magnetic shield/ flux, magnetic poles are going through an "excursion" right now ? AND it is accelerating !! That means that the Earth's magnetic poles are fixin' to FLIP... and as they do... our earth's shield against the suns plasma, is weakening, much quicker , & has already weakened 50%, which is why the Northern Lights / aurora borealis, are being seen further and further South, than the have been before. There is all kinds of strange electrical phenomena being reported, from around the world, along with the earthquakes, volcanoes going off, large hail, etc.

Our sun is coming into it's 11 year cycle, "solar maximum" right now and is becoming more active, and having greater coronal mass ejections.
... and with our weakened magnetic shield, even small CME's can have devastating effect's on our electrical grids..

Check out what happened with the Carrington Event in 1859. If that smallish CME were to happen today, it could wipe out our electrical grids, ALL electronics, for years. Some experts say 90% of the population would DIE. Scientists are also saying that "micro-novas" are cyclical as well, and that we are over due for one now. "Here comes the Son !! "Here comes the Sun" "I say" ... reminds me of a Beatles song :) Maranatha !

Scientist are saying that the sun's coronal holes are causing this increase of earthquakes and volcanic activity, which the earth is experiencing NOW ...

2 Thessalonians 2:8
“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.” "We the Wicked" the unrighteous, will be distroyed with the Coming of the Son, and the Righteous "Raptured" at that moment, meeting The Son in the sky, and the Earth, left, will lay desolate. Ashes under the souls of their feet. Mal. 4:3

Go back and reread the above 6 events, "He who has ears..., let him hear!" Matt 11:15... Seems like the last days , to me, I'm just waiting for the Mark of the Beast, to really get things rolling.

Just saying folks, that IF we are not right with our Lord NOW, IMHO.. there is not much time left. to get ur done :) I need to be on my knees praying for repentance, (a free gift, if you ask for it), from my body of sin, 1 John 2:16 & cuz I resemble Romans 7: 15,25

Ya'all have a blest day now ... " Have no Fear! Ya hear " ^/^

All of the warnings Yeshua gave can be aligned to the 3 Harvest Seasons that take place yearly in Israel. That is basically the entire Summer Season. What's interesting is the Fall Season kicks off the Trumpet's. And if you read Matthew 24, Luke 19, Thessalonians and Revelation it's the same order.

I am not saying live like the Devil during late Fall into the Winter and Spring Seasons. But the Summer Season is specific to everything we read. 2 men in a field and 1 is taken. 2 women at the grinding stone and 1 taken. Then the gathering of the Harvests. Wheat, Fruits, Everything Else. Summer Season activities.

A saying that's very old and I :) understand who it was being said but I can't live like the devil lol since I am in Christ He in me oh and then the sweet sweet holy Spirit.. I've been born from above. For me I don't see anyone in the NT hinting at some harvest time or any other day that the lord might or will return. What did He mean no man knows the say or hour?

"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and I will take you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also. "

How does one live if one believes feast of trumpets would be a great or perfect time He comes. But what are we talking about? Caught up or 2nd coming? Well for some... its going to be a long wait we have that great tribulation to be over before the 2nd coming. But wait there are those that believe great tribulation is just a year.. wait could be 3 years. I know I know just hold on there are those that believe all this already happened. I know a of a big Church out side the USA that are believing its only going to get better and better. Sorry but wait there are those that believe no rapture at all and.. were here from another 100 years. We have Pre-Mid-Post.

Did anyone tell Christ about this yet? Lol I know I can be wrong so my thinking is I was not promised tomorrow and why would I put my hope and faith in a day I was never promised? Then that gift hmm curse? haha pops up "no no one tells me what to do or when to expect Him" :) Playing aside some understand as you get older things happen that you know how "short" time can be. Its not the main reason but it does as I get older make it easier to hope for believe in this moment. I have this moment He gave me for a reason. Yeah were not still here because.. well that's life. No He put you and me here in a time where all that came before us wanted to be. Not random.. you are not randomly put in this moment. So I wait watch now. Yes there is that small "ooh be nice if its this Sept" but that thought goes away fast since it was not from Him. Again He did not promise us tomorrow.

You want Signs? Matthew, Chapter 24:

4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25Behold, I have told you before.

26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

You want Signs? Matthew, Chapter 24:

4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25Behold, I have told you before.

26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
