Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

Making a case for the 14th of Tammuz, part 6


Star of Bethelehem

7 years ago the star of Bethlehem appeared on the 14th of Tammuz.

Sign of Jonah

1 year ago a boy was saved from the rubble named Jonah, and that was the 14th day of Tammuz.

Full Moon

Proverbs 7:19-20 My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey. He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon.

July 13th is the biggest and brightest super moon of 2022

Comet

A huge comet will make its closest approach to the Earth on July 13th. He will be in the constellation that depicts Michael casting Satan out of heaven.

This comet was discovered 1880 days before its closest approach to Earth. 1880 means "to return" from the concordance. The message is that "I return and I will settle accounts"

Judgement is here

The Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants

Amos 3:7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

Does this apply to the rapture? Why wouldn't it? We have learned about what is happening at CERN, we have learned the water is about to be turned to blood, and we are about to have 3 days of darkness. We have learned that the US is a condemned building that is about to be demolished by the Lord.

1Corinthians 15:51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—

This obviously applies to the rapture. It is one of the mysteries. These prophecies have given new light on Revelation 12 and Exodus 32.

Ephesians 1:9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

Surely the rapture is included in the mystery of God's will. But so is the work He is doing in all seven churches to make them into one golden lampstand.

Ephesians 6:19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,

Surely the rapture is included in "the mystery of the gospel". Ask yourself, what is the one topic that most preachers are afraid to touch? Maybe it is the rapture, maybe it is that judgement begins in the house of God.

Colossians 1:26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.

The hope of glory is a reference to the rapture and therefore is part of this mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations but is now disclosed to the Lord's people.

1Timothy 3:16 Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

Taken up in glory includes the rapture. The rapture will be a vindication to the Lord. He will be glorified in that day.

Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep it, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Many Christians have forgotten "how" they received the revelation of the mystery. Today they open the books and parrot what has been taught. They do not allow a fresh reading, they do not allow anyone to question the accepted dogmas. That is not how we received and didst hear.

In the same way this mystery is being unfurled at the end of the age, many Christians will refuse to receive it because they have forgotten how they had first received and heard. If you do not wake up there is a warning, the Lord will come as a thief and you will be clueless. Imagine how embarrassing it will be for those who have pretended to be Bible scholars to have the Lord come and they were completely clueless. It would be as bad as what happened to the Jewish scholars when Jesus was born the first time. The prophecies in Jeremiah and Daniel and other places were more than sufficient to let them know when and where He would be born but they treated that as some trivia question. As a result the Lord's first coming was as a thief (say goodbye to Jerusalem).

2Timothy 3 -- Unveiling impostors (part 1)

3 But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.

It is very interesting to me that there appear to be two completely different narratives playing out on the internet. There are those who are compiling video footage of natural disasters, strange phenomena and economic indicators claiming these are grievous times, and then there are those who are telling us it was just like this in the 70s, nothing to see here. A video of a person filling a duffle bag with stuff from the shelves of a Walgreen's while the security guard watches made the rounds. It is due to San Francisco passing laws to not to pursue or engage with shoplifters and for the most part to not prosecute. As a result 17 Walgreen's stores in San Francisco shut down. The border has been thrown wide open and we are on track to have several million illegals enter the country this year. This human traffic is controlled by the cartels. This is very profitable business for them so you can be sure that the cartel controlled gangs in the US cities will get bigger and scarier. Sure enough crime in cities is spiking and they are becoming very scary. But it is worse, even the President has no respect for dignitaries attacking the Supreme court and doing nothing to protect them from the mob.

2 For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

and yet Paul talks about how men will have become shameless. I am going to illustrate this using Trump to illustrate how we know that these are grievous times. I see no hope for any government other than Jesus. I see this as evidence that we are in the grievous times of the last days. In the 2016 election we knew that as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had violated laws when she set up her own server for her emails. As Secretary of State those emails were often referencing State secrets. If anyone working for the State department had done this they would have been fired and prosecuted for a felony. So to commit this crime and then ask us to vote for her as though it was a simple mistake, that was an outrageous insult. There is an involved process people go through to get security clearance and they are fully educated on how serious it is to violate it. The idea that she didn’t know that she was violating that was insulting. After Trump was elected they went through years of investigations to see if he had colluded with Russia. During this time it was confirmed that Russia had indeed interfered with the election and had also hacked the DNC’s server. These facts condemn Hillary even more, it is as though they were pointing one finger at Trump and three fingers were pointing at them. She had to know that there were Russian and Chinese hackers working for those countries to hack into multinational corporate servers. As Secretary of State she was privy to the up to date intelligence on these hackers. How is a government employee going to afford to keep their server secure from them when fortune 500 companies can’t keep their servers secure? As for Biden Kamala Harris said during the campaign that she believed the women who alleged sexual misconduct by Biden. If that is true then how is it a few months later she is willing to run on the same ticket with him? The point is not how bad Trump is but how grievous the times have become. If you support Trump then you should also be able to realize that if he did not have these personal failings and flaws he would have been reelected. Almost all those who dislike Trump dislike him for these reasons. Finally, Trump is transparent. We are learning that the Clintons and the Bidens are very bad people (Bill Clinton apparently frequented Epstein's pedophile island while Biden is a Free Mason, a satanic cult).

Lover of self —

During the pandemic over 150,000 Americans have died, many more have become extremely sick. People have lost their jobs, and may lose their homes. Yet Trump complains about what the pandemic is doing to him, that this was some evil plot to keep him from being reelected. There is evidence of this, but it comes across as completely narcissistic.

Covetous —

"The beauty of me is that I'm very rich." Donald Trump. This is a very interesting comment in how "truthful" it is. He seems to be saying that the reason he is "attractive" or "interesting" is because he is rich. It really shows what the time is like with many worshipping idols.

Boastful —

"I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created." Donald Trump. Once again a very interesting comment, in the end he really does get an A+ for his handling of the economy, but it shows that people are taught to boast. Resume writing skills focus on teaching people to boast and to spin.

haughty

"My Twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make my enemies tell the truth." Donald Trump. Pride goes before a fall, his boasting was not good, it provoked Twitter into banning him.

railers

“Ariana Huffington is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man — he made a good decision.” Donald Trump. One thing Trump was very good at was insulting people, it was his super power.

disobedient to parents

Trump encouraged Americans to disobey governors orders concerning social distancing, masks, and the shut down of business. In reality we have political leaders who are disobedient to the constitution, that in turn becomes an example for others to be disobedient to them.

unthankful

On Thanksgiving Trump was asked what he was most thankful for and he said he was most thankful for himself.

unholy

"I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her." Donald Trump.

without natural affection

"What is it at 35? It's called check-out time." — Trump on relationships with women.

implacable

Obama once made a joke about Trump, since that time he has been implacable concerning Obama.

slanderers

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they're telling us what we're getting." Donald Trump. How did Trump get elected? It is simple, this is what our political campaigns have become, six months of slandering one another.

Making a case for Tammuz 15, part 7

This dream has a very clear reference to the rapture and even to the date of the rapture.

The clock that says 4, and then 4:05 and then 4:10 and then 4:15 can be seen as a calendar. God created clocks and calendars at the same time. Our system of time whether clock or calendar is based on the movement of the Sun, moon and stars. So then we can view this time as 4th month, 4/5, 4/10 and 4/15. So if you don't know the Bible you would think so what, that is April. No, according to the Bible's calendar this is the 4th month right now. 4/15 would be the Full moon of this month, maybe the next day (the full moon would either be the 14th or 15th of the month). On our calendar that will be July 13 or July 14.

On 4/15 the Lord takes this arrow that he describes as very sharp and very incredible. He says if Elves were real this would be an arrow they would use. He then takes this amazing large bow and shoots the arrow straight up and it never comes down. By itself you could say that is a reference to the rapture. But it is even more precise, the arrow is glistening white, almost like it is glow in the dark even though it is bright day. Jesus was wearing glistening white garment in Luke, in Mark it is purple and in Matthew it is crimson. The significance of that is that we interpret three different groups, those who are raptured before the tribulation (glistening white), those who are raptured in the middle of the tribulation (purple) and those who are raptured at the end of the tribulation (crimson).

Now this dream compares this rapture to an arrow. During a war the arrows fly first. When the enemy gets closer it becomes a tank battle, and when it is even closer it is hand to hand.

I will turn your religious festivals into mourning

Amos 8:10 I will turn your religious festivals into mourning and all your singing into weeping. I will make all of you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make that time like mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day.

We don't have songs associated with Thanksgiving, but turning "Thanksgiving" into mourning seems like the sense for this verse. We do have lots of Christmas songs and the practice is to have Christmas carols, so the sense I get here is they will be turned to weeping.

The verse talks about "festivals" plural. There is a similar event at the start of the Great Tribulation where Zechariah says they will see Him whom they pierced.

So this is interpretive, but when I read Amos all all the sins he lists off it seems it is particularly pointed at the US ("a Christian nation"). The tribulation which begins with the pretribulation rapture in which babies and toddlers are also taken along with all the "Jesus Freaks" that the "more sensible" Christians had mocked, ridiculed and ignored. So for those who are left behind God will "turn their religious festivals into mourning". But this is plural, at the time of Easter we don't have several religious festivals. I suspect this verse gets fulfilled prior to Thanksgiving. Generally after Thanksgiving is when they flood the radio with the "Christmas songs". They will be like salt in the wounds of anyone left behind.

The picture is of two pillars holding up the US are knocked down causing the total collapse of the US economy. Then Jesus rides away as the house collapses avoiding the collapse.

One pillar that definitely is holding up our country is "free and fair" elections. If the conclusion is that the US is guilty on this you would see the country splintered, just as this describes.

The second pillar is safety and security. The one thing we expect our government to do above all others is to keep us safe and secure. Between the border crisis and the felons being let loose into the cities every day the government is being questioned about whether or not they are keeping us safe. If it turns out they are involved in Epstein island, child trafficking and even the pandemic, well then this country would completely collapse. If Russia has evidence of US culpability in their bioweapons programs that is the one thing the whole world would respond to.

Anyway this dream says judgement is here and there will be two pillars that are knocked down after finding the US guilty and this will result in the total collapse of the economy. This happens before the rapture when the believers are snatched away from sudden destruction. Other dreams have said that the rapture will take place July 14th.

So then over the next four days we may see major proclamations of the guilt of this nation.

If we are paying attention to the news we have seen a few things released

1. The list of people who flew on Epstein's Lolita express has been released.

2. Texas, Arizona and Wisconsin have all made major declarations concerning election integrity and the 2020 election.

3. Major new revelations have recently come out concerning Hunter Biden's laptop and Joe Biden's corruption.

4. Russia could release bombshell information about what they have found in Ukraine at any time, they have already made the allegations to the UN.

5. Investigations into Pfizer, the vaccine, and the pandemic are continuing every day.

Pre Tribulation rapture in 2Corinthians

2 Corinthians 4:14-5:11
14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

This is a reference to the pre-tribulation where the dead in Christ rise first. Paul said we were his "crown". Think about that, those who are raptured will be the crown to the apostles.

15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

This is the Thanksgiving celebration to end the age. How fitting, Amos 8:10 says God will turn the celebrations of those left behind into mourning, but for those who are raptured it will be a great celebration of thanksgiving and glory to God.

16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

It seems there are so many testifying of how they are close to fainting. Focus on being renewed day by day by the word of God, by prayer, by fellowship, by worship. Every morning when I wake up I feel empty, I have nothing, but little by little by the end of the day I am renewed and amazed at what the Lord has spoken and done.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

Let's be realistic, many think the tribulation may have already begun, but if that is true it is "light affliction" compared to what we see in the book of Revelation.

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

This is the issue right now, it is easy to be distracted by all the things you can see, but we need to see Jesus. Everything that is happening around us are due to His sovereignty. Did Biden steal the election? Yes, but that has helped to wake up the believers. Is the Pandemic a pack of lies? Yes, but that is helping to wake up the believers. Do we see Sri Lanka and Argentina in economic collapse? Yes, but again that should wake up even more to turn to the Lord and repent.

5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

This is a reference to the rapture.

2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

"Our house" is "our tabernacle". The Lord went to prepare a place for us, that is "our tabernacle".

3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

The believers who are left behind will be those who are "found naked". Our clothes are the righteous acts of the saints. We are to be clothed with Christ just as Paul said to "put on Christ".

4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

Another reference to the rapture being a resurrection.

5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

The earnest of the Spirit was given to us on Pentecost, that was our betrothal, our engagement ceremony. This is a reference to the Rapture being the bridegroom coming for His bride.

6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Another reference to the rapture. Who are those who are raptured? The bride, the ones who are clothed with Christ, those who have taken up their cross and followed Christ to the cross, and those who walk by faith and not by sight.

9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

That is what we need to do now! We are laboring so that we would be accepted of the Lord.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

The first rapture is a judgement similar to winning a medal at the olympics. It is called the Bema judgement. A judgement can be positive, like winning a gold medal or getting 100% on an exam, and it can be negative like getting an F on an exam or being caught cheating.

Who do we trust?

11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

So many times you hear people complaining they don't know who to believe. It is a problem, there are a thousand different voices on Youtube, some are trustworthy, most are not, who do you believe?

1. At times I will feel led to seek for reliable people I can trust. None of us is sufficient in ourselves. When I do find someone I will visit their site repeatedly. There are many sites I visit but do not consider reliable. So let me talk about the ones I have found reliable.

These are the ones who have been made manifest in my conscience that they are laboring to be accepted of the Lord.

DTBM -- this is the most fundamental voice I check regularly. I discovered him from his historical teachings and felt it was a great help to me. He is clearly trained in a seminary and has a very solid teaching. I check him everyday.

I would point out that "being manifest in my conscience" is not equivalent to agreeing with everything he shares. He has shared something that I completely disagree with, and he is a big proponent of marking up your Bible, something I do not do. Marking up your Bible is very effective if you want to have some set messages whenever you turn to that passage. For me, I don't want to have anything set, I want to be able to see the Bible new every time. I see the benefit in both approaches.

S4C Global Community -- Pastor Sandy -- This brother learned the Bible by learning Hebrew. He brings two things that I never got in my training. He breaks down the Hebrew words and he brings in gematria. For most of us gematria is very weird, but think of the Bible as a smart phone that has all kinds of apps. If you don't get this app you are missing out. Every letter in Hebrew is also a number. As a result a number, say 153 (the fish caught at the end of John) also has a meaning, in this case 153 = the sons of God. Not only so but Pastor Sandy has expounded in great detail on the prophecies in the Psalms, something else I never got previously in my Bible training.

Prophecy Club -- Stan has been doing this for forty years, ever since 1980. That is amazing. He has been able to accumulate and test many prophets from all over the world and as a result he has a very good collection of prophecies that are trustworthy. Again, this is something I was totally missing. If you do a google search on "prophecy" you can be confident than 90% of the results will be harmful. They might be occultic, unbiblical, new age, etc. If the person is a best selling author I hold that against them. If they are hawking a book and what they are sharing is simply a tease I hold that against them. However, if they sell books I don't hold that against them. You don't muzzle the ox that is treading out the corn and Stan has been doing this for forty years. I view him as gold. I don't have to go into the swamp to find the prophets myself. Also I like his perspective because if his conscience testifies concerning a person being a true prophet and my conscience also testifies concerning them it is a confirmation for me.

For example, Dana Coverstone went viral with his dreams. I felt he was genuine and Stan did to, so that was a confirmation. There is a big difference between Dana Coverstone and a NY Times best selling author. Dana is not selling his dreams. He doesn't hawk anything. Also, he has come under withering attack being accused of being a false prophet. That is big for me. I listen to those who claim he is a false prophet and if they come across as liars and slanderers it is a seal of approval that what Dana is sharing the enemy is attacking.

Another example is Vicki Goforth Parnell. I would never have discovered her had it not been for Stan and Prophecy club. Her videos only get a few views. She has a very "distinctive" style unlike anyone else I know. That is a big plus to me because it tells me she isn't copying or imitating others. Satan is an imitator, he cannot create. She also comes under attack even though she gets so few views, which is also a big plus to me. I am looking for a prophet who speaks because they want to be acceptable to the Lord even though doing so causes them to not be acceptable to man.

Dr. Barry Awe -- this brother is like a lay preacher. He is a chiropractor who does Bible studies concerning the Lord's coming. His style is something you would expect to see in Sunday School with elementary school kids. That said his teaching is packed with the word of God, with insight, and with entertainment. This is another big point, I would never try to imitate any of these brothers. I could never speak like Dr. Barry or like Vicki or even like Dana. That is the point, I am not trying to find others that agree with me and are just like me, I am looking for those who will help me with my shortcomings because I know I am not sufficient in myself. The way I discovered this brother was from the Lord. I was praying that I needed help understanding the Biblical calendar. Then I had a very strange dream where the triune God was helping me and gave me a chauffeur who was bizarre, the only way I could describe him was the character "Badger" in Breaking Bad. Then the next day I stumble across Dr. Barry Awe's video on the internet. I would have just turned it off after one or two minutes but as soon as I saw him I realized this is the guy in my dream.

Steve Fletcher -- this brother is another person to whom my conscience testifies. What he does is very different from what everyone else does. His focus is on looking at current events that are signs of the times. Every day he is the first person I check to see what he has posted and yet I will only share about a third of his posts. DTBM I share over half, S4C Global Community, Pastor Sandy I share all of them, Prophecy Club I share all of them, Dana Coverstone I share all, Vicki Goforth Parnell I share all and Dr. Barry Awe I share all. My criteria is Bible references concerning the rapture. Much of what Steve Fletcher shares I feel the Bible references are too tenuous for me. No doubt on every single one he can make a case for it, but that is not for me. I share many of his posts so anyone coming to this site will be directed to his and can explore all the posts I don't link.

Now if you visit these brothers (and sisters) sites everyday you will discover that they in turn will reference others. There are a number of other sites like Ken Potter who will bring out many others. I am not that worried about being comprehensive. If everyone is looking at twenty others any word revealed to one will ultimately spread through the entire community of watchmen.

How do you discern who to trust?, part A

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

First and foremost I will be turned off by anyone who is proud and arrogant. If they are "full of themselves" I don't care what they have. Think of it this way, would you go to the best restaurant in town if the chef has leprosy? I was in Taiwan and our guide wanted to bring us to this really famous restaurant. So we are all following him, the first floor is the kitchen and the dining area is on the second floor so you have to walk through the kitchen to get to your table. While walking through we see this chef in shorts (looked like boxers) and a dirty T shirt. He is smoking a cigarette with one hand while cooking food in a wok with the other hand. Every now and then he would put his cigarette down on the table to pet this dog that had mange. I and about four other brothers took one look and said we weren't eating there. Our guide was devastated, the food is so good! This is rule #1, you are what you eat. If this person is proud and arrogant then you also will become proud and arrogant if you partake of his ministry.

Let me share another example, I saw this woman who had built a water wheel from the stream next to her house. This pumped water that ran through a hose and then back down into the stream. At first I thought this would be better if there were a basin to catch the water but then I realized if she did that the basin would be filled with things living in there, maybe even mosquito larvae, etc. This is what I want the person who is going to share the word with me to be, an empty vessel, simply a conduit for the word.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

The second mistake people make is they want the minister to be sinless. That is foolish and blind. The apostle Peter denied the Lord, that was sin. However, he repented and the comfort that God comforted him with he in turn shares with us in his ministry. If anyone has denied the Lord I would tell them to read Peter, it will be pure comfort. Paul was there consenting when Stephen was martyred. He said he was less than the least of all saints. If you have a problem seeing the Lord in all the saints then I would tell you to read Paul, it is the cure for anyone who is unable to appreciate other saints. James was involved in a cult, the Judaizers. Some said he was the leader. If you have been caught up in a cult I would encourage you to read the book of James, every word will be a salvation to you. It is a comfort because it is supplying exactly what you need to be saved from that sinful situation.

Everyone of us is a sinner. There are two possible reactions, some will sorrow unto repentance. If you do that you will be saved by the Lord and the grace He gives you to save you is a word of comfort that you can then share with others. This is where every ministry comes from. Yesterday I listened to a brother from Nepal share about the Gideon ministry in Nepal and the testimony of one brother who was saved by getting a bible from a girl who was a Gideon. This brother was a communist revolutionary who thought that salvation is from a gun, but when he read the Bible he was saved. Later he became a Gideon, and then later became part of the leadership of the Gideon's in Nepal, and then he became the person they send to the US to tell us about what is happening in Nepal. This is one possible reaction to sin.

The other reaction is you embrace sin. You are the "OG" (original gangster). You might be a gang leader. When people die you don't sorrow for the life of sin, you sorrow because you lost some of your muscle. You don't view this as "the wages of sin is death", no you view his death as evidence that he was weak. You love the gold chains, the "respect" others give you and you even revel in the "game" because you are good at it.

So in short I am not concerned if the person ministering is a sinner who has made mistakes. What I am concerned about is seeing the fruit of repentance.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

This is harder to see from a youtube video or a taped message, but if you work closely with this brother or sister then you will definitely see it. Is this person timid to take the first place or are they insistent on it? God will always honor man's free will, He won't force anything on man that man does not ask for and pray for. The same will be true of His servants. The person could be Michael Jordan but he will sit at the end of the bench and say nothing unless the coach sends him into the game.

I see these mega churches with their huge ministry and budget and operation and I feel like they are operating under the principle of survival of the fittest. They justify their ability to eat and devour other ministries because that is the law of the jungle. This is why I don't want to take any ministry that is on the NY Times best seller list. You can't get on that list unless FreeMasons want you there. Dr. Naomi Wolf wrote a very good book on the pandemic, they didn't want her on that list so Amazon limited how many books a person could buy to four, not only so but none of the big newspapers that will have book reviews would review her book. They will do everything in their power to suppress her book. To me, if you are on the NY Times best seller list then the FreeMasons are promoting your book. That doesn't make you a shark, but it does show that you are swimming with sharks.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

This is a wonderful blessing. All these people who say it is so hard to know who is telling the truth or what to believe. What this tells me is that they are not hungering and thirsting after righteousness. What they are really saying is that it is hard work to know what to believe and they don't care enough about that to do the hard work.

I take this blessing and I own it. A few years ago I felt that we can know when the Lord is coming, we can know the year, we can know the season, we can probably know the week, and maybe, just maybe, we can know the day. But it was work, hard work, and I did it because I cared. Over the last few years I never lost that hunger. I felt like I was tracking an elusive prey that had failed to get me to lose the scent and I was closer than ever to catching the prey. I knew I needed help so I found some other ministries that helped. This is a promise, if you really care to know the truth you will learn it.

How do you discern who to trust? part B

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Here is a very cool thing. We look at Paul and what we might miss is how merciful he is. Read Romans 9:1-3 and you will be amazed. Think of Peter and James, the same is true. These brothers had their faults, but the reason their ministry survived was because they were merciful. They will tell you that they obtained mercy and we know the reason they obtained mercy from God is because they themselves were merciful to others.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

This is what all these prophets have in common. Dana Coverstone, Vicki Goforth Parnell, Stan at Prophecy watch, etc. They are pure in heart, if they weren't they never would have seen the dreams and visions they received. If you discover that someone you thought was a prophet of God is not pure in heart then I would dump their ministry. They can get saved, they can repent, but you thought they saw God and
the fact is they didn't.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Appeasement is not the same thing as a peacemaker. Paul refused to take Mark with them on the missionary journey, Barnabas got upset and as a result Barnabas and Mark left. Was Paul a peacemaker? The reason for the dust up was sin, covetousness, and rebellion. You don't make peace by appeasing those things, if you feed sin it will grow and get worse. Once Barnabas leaves we never hear from him again. The only way to make peace is with a peace offering. Jesus sacrifice on the cross was a peace offering. You have to give up yourself as a peace offering if you hope to be a peacemaker. You need to take up your cross and follow Him. You need to go outside the camp to where the Lord is.

Anyone who is appeasing sin, that is it, I cut that ministry off. Today there are many churches who try to straddle the world and the church. Celebrate Christmas and Easter? You are appeasing sin. Compromise on the word of God concerning pastors or concerning the sins of the flesh, you are appeasing sin.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

I view this one as being different in degree from verse 11. Maybe they were forced out of their position as Pastor or in the ministry. That is fine. I was forced to leave the church I had served in for twenty years because I took issue with the "apostle's son" being the President of the ministry. He had been guilty of sexually abusing several sisters and there was no fruit worthy of repentance.

To me it is like the "good housekeeping seal of approval" to be persecuted for righteousness sake.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

This takes it to the next level. In many cases they will want you to leave quietly and will not do anything to slander you. But here they want to destroy you, squash you, prevent you from speaking. I look at the attacks on Dana Coverstone and I listen to them carefully. You have to otherwise you cannot determine if what they are saying is false or not. What made it very easy to see how false they were was to wait a year or two. Then it becomes much more obvious. This to me is like winning the Oscar or the Emmy. This is the biggest award the Lord can bestow. The enemy will do everything in His power to shut you up, that is the Lord saying "you need to listen to this!"

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Instead of talking about people we need to pray for people.

2Timothy 3 -- Unveiling impostors (part 2)

without self-control

"I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.” Donald Trump

fierce

"You have to dominate," he said. "If you don't dominate, you're wasting your time." concerning the police response to protesters. Trump has been fierce in his response to protesters while disregarding mayors and governors who wanted to be empathetic. Again, there are two sides to the issue and many of the riots and looting that took place were equally fierce, an attempt by the other side to create chaos that would be attributed to Trump.

no lovers of good

"Before a show, I'll go backstage and everyone's getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it...You know, they're standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that." Donald Trump talking about beauty pageants that he runs.

traitors

Trump has publicly ridiculed the claim by the FBI that Russia interfered with the election, putting his support behind Putin. Again, evidence has been released that strongly supports the claim that the US government is full of traitors. The insurrection on January 6 involved 20 deep state actors who worked for the FBI. They were involved in the planning and carrying out of the riot. Police waved the protestors into the Capital. Fauci and the handling of the pandemic is traitorous. The election fraud with China being complicit makes these people traitors.

headstrong

Trump said that Coronavirus would go away. In January he said “we have it totally under control” and in February he said “we pretty much shut it down” and that the number of cases were “going down, not up”. He was asked about that in an interview March 31st with CNN and He continued to argue that this was true. But he is not the only one who is "headstrong". After all what is all the censorship based on bogus "fact checkers" but these tech giants being headstrong.

puffed up

"Our country is in serious trouble. We don't have any victories anymore. We used to have victories, but we don't have them. When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let's say China, in a trade deal? I beat China all the time. All the time." Donald Trump.

lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God

"All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me--consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected." Donald Trump. This is not the case of a single man being evil and corrupt. There are shock jocks on the radio who are equally contemptible. Why are they popular, that is the real question? Why did 70 million people vote for Trump? The answer is simple, even though we knew all of this about Trump he was still better than the alternative, this is how we know that these are grievous times.

5 holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.

There are people who are very successful at having great ratings on their TV shows or radio shows, or even in getting elected to office. They have certain skills. But there is nothing sanctified or holy about them. Turn away from them.

There are two pillars that are knocked out. The first one splinters, I suspect that is referring to election integrity, the audits, the movies Rigged, Absolute Proof and 2,000 Mules which is splintering the country but now with rulings and decrees in Texas, Arizona and Wisconsin we can see that this pillar has been knocked out and yet the house hasn't fallen.

The second pillar might be this Durham investigation which we already know goes up to Clinton and maybe Obama. Couple this with the Hunter Biden laptop and recent evidence of Joe Biden's involvement and this could be the second pillar that will be knocked out. I would expect indictments to be unsealed this week and for the situation to become unhinged, perhaps with the Military moving in to occupy DC.

That would set the stage for other prophecies that say while we are occupied with an internal revolution we are attacked and the USA (Babylon the Great) is judged.

In the dream the Lord has a huge sledge hammer. That would be Steve Bannon, Durham, Mike Lindell, Dinesh D'Souza, Peter Navarro, Dr. Naomi Wolf, Dr. Malone, Giuliani, etc. Add to this the prayers of the saints.

John 14:1-11 -- My Father's house has many rooms

1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

There is a place for each one of us in the Lord’s house. You may feel like a stranger in a strange land in the world, but in God’s kingdom there is a place. You don’t have to live a life that you think will please others. To be forgiven, to be free from sin means that we are free to make known what God has done in our lives and revealed to us. Our experiences of the Lord make a place for us in His kingdom. I love this, I have tried to put up links to sites that are very clearly occupying different rooms from me. Dr. Barry Awe is one example, the Return of the King with their focus on the heavenly signs is another. There are those who specialize in Hebrew etymology, that is a third. We need each other.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

The rapture is an essential part of the gospel. Many have distorted this message to be that we will live with the Lord in Heaven. But what is He saying? He rose from the dead, He ascended into Heaven with a purpose to prepare a place for us to also join Him. We are following in His footsteps, He had an earthly ministry we have an earthly ministry.

4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

He rose from the dead, we will be raptured. Not only the living but the dead in Christ will also rise and be raptured.

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well.From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

Jesus let His experiences of the Father shine through in His ministry. In the same way if people see your ministry then they should know Jesus and see Jesus. Follow in the Lord's footsteps, the "What Would Jesus Do" is the way, receive every word of the New Testament as the truth, and partake of the Lord's table as the real bread and wine, that is the life.

8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.

Real freedom, real liberty is when your head is covered. When I speak the Lord’s words I am free. If you don’t like it, if it offends you, it isn’t me that is offending you, it is the Lord. Your issue is not with me, it is with God. In one very short life Jesus changed the age, He changed the world. Yet the words He spoke, He didn’t speak on His own authority. He came from God the Father with a message from God the Father and spoke the words of the Father with the authority of the Father.

Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.

God promises us that His word will not return void. Aspire to speak God’s words and those words will be powerful and effective.

11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.

The strongest, most compelling evidence was the resurrection of the dead. That is why I say the rapture is an essential element of the gospel. Jesus told them beforehand that He would be raised from the dead and they didn’t know what He was talking about. In the same way we tell people about the rapture and they don’t know what we are talking about. But, when it happens then they will know and they can repent and believe.

Joshua 10:12 Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. 13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.

The media blackout for ten days while they are able to root out and destroy the traitors and at the same time show the 8 hour video of all the information reminds me of the sun standing still so Joshua could destroy these guys all while Moses and two others were on the mountain praying.

John 14:12-31 Come now let us leave.

12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

What should we ask? Not my will but thine be done. We should pray that God’s name would be sanctified, and that the Kingdom would come. Ken Peters dream of the tribulation saw a revival in which this word was fulfilled where all the works we saw in the gospel from the Lord were going on all over the world in small christian gatherings. We want all those who promote lies to be exposed and their jaw broken. We want all those believers who sat on the fence to stand up for the Lord.

15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him.

I really love this concept "if you love me you will keep my commands". There will be a distinction at the rapture, those that keep His commands (the ones who really love Him) and those who don't. Never has this been more obvious. There isn’t even an attempt to embrace the truth. I don’t want to get political because the only savior I see is Jesus. If you think a man is going to save you whether he is Republican or Democratic you are deceived. The Lord will use the jawbone of an ass to bring judgement on the Philistines. But the media doesn’t even pretend to be fair and balanced anymore. Turn on CNN and you will hear how terrible the last thing that Trump did is, and he hasn't been president for ten months! Turn on Fox and you will hear how terrible the last thing Biden did. There is so much going on these days in the world and yet the “news” from the “major media outlets” are only focused on one message, either “Trump is bad” or “Trump is good”. We had an immigrant woman from Jamaica who grew up in poverty elected as lieutenant governor of Virginia and MSNBC was portraying her as "the latest variant of Trumpism". The world has no clue what truth is.

But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

There is a lot of focus right now on “the end times” and “prophecy” and the rapture and dreams and visions. But everything boils down to one thing, on that day are we in Christ, in God, and Christ is in us as the hope of glory? Are you coming to the Lord every day hoping to get a fresh new word?

21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

This chapter began with “do not let your hearts be troubled”. Calm down, pick up the word of God, take one of His words, let it dwell in you so that you become its keeper. You don’t need to try and keep the entire Bible, start with that one little word that the Lord has already spoken to your heart. George Mueller got one little word about seeking the kingdom first and all the other things would be added to him. Based on that one little word he started an orphanage and trusted the Lord to always supply and the Lord always did. His entire ministry was based on that word.

22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

Why is it that the Lord reveals Himself to some and not to others? It depends on their heart. You can know their heart because if they obey the Lord’s teachings it reveals they love Him, if they do not obey His words it reveals they don’t. These words aren’t His, they are the Father’s. So if you keep these words you love the Lord and the Father. If you love someone you spend time with them, you talk to them, you fellowship with them.

25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

Isn’t that funny? He is sending us a lawyer to teach us everything He said. Not a prosecutor, but an advocate, someone who will help guide us while we endure the accusations of Satan. This is the best way to learn about the power of the cross, the Lord’s redemption, and how He has freed us from the power of sin. Every time I felt like I was on trial, those were the times I really got into the word and prayed for the saving power of faith.

27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. 28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.

Once again this is why it is important for us to share our testimony before it happens, share our faith, let the world know about the resurrected savior and our hope of glory. You need to speak it before it happens so that when it does happen they will believe. The great delusion is designed to give an alternate explanation to the rapture. UFOs and a close encounter of the third kind.

30 I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming.

Have we seen that the prince of this world is coming? People talk about 2020 being the “year like no other”. Yes there have been a lot of natural disasters, fires, protests, and pandemic. But then look at 2021, what really makes 2021 stand out to me is the total inability of the world to know the truth or speak the truth. Why? Because they refuse to obey the Lord’s commands and to speak the truth requires that they confess they were wrong and repent, and turn again to God. Why can’t they do that? Because they don’t love Him. But now in 2022 we see the consequences of those decisions. Why is Biden's approval down in the 20% range? It is because people are seeing they are wrong. Inflation, War, the collapse of the stock market, countries going bankrupt, runs on banks, food processing plants being destroyed and famine taking place. Meanwhile the evidence of the election steal has been seen.

He has no hold over me, 31 but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.

The world is going to learn a lesson. We needed an advocate to teach us about Satan, the accuser of the brethren, and to guide us into all the truth. The world needs a great tribulation to learn that the Lord Jesus loved the Father and that they need to do exactly what He commanded us to do. Last year was very polarizing with a lot of hateful rhetoric flying back and forth. This year we are seeing the collapse of the world's economy. At the rapture you will realize that those ones you were attacking loved the Lord and they were the ones you should have been listening to.

“Come now; let us leave.
