Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

The Horrible debate

There is this horrible debate concerning the calendar. Although the standard understanding is that this weekend is Passover, there are those who claim it is not for another month. Their basis is that the Barley is not abib (ripe and ready for harvest).

This woman is showing that some barley is abib and some is not, but that was 11 days ago. I suspect they have more than enough Barley to harvest as "the first fruit". Tomorrow's festival is to bless the harvest and wave a sheaf of the firstfruit before the Lord. So then the idea that you would have to wait another month to do that is clearly not accurate.

My understanding is that the Feast of Firstfruits begins the Barley harvest. That is certainly logical since all the males were to be in Jerusalem for Passover. Why would you spend a week during the harvest season in that feast? Instead this feast kicks off the harvest season and after the feast you go home and begin the harvest.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Suppose you are going to have to go to trial. You have never been to a trial before, you don't know what is going to be said in this trial, but if you talk to a lawyer they will be able to give you a very good idea of what is going to happen and what is going to be said. This is because that which has been is that which will be. The same with a graduation ceremony or a marriage ceremony or a coronation.

Therefore we can look at many stories in the past in the Bible to illuminate the future marriage of the Lamb and the coronation of the Lamb and the judgement seat of Christ.

2Chronicles 24: 23 And it came to pass at the end of the year,

The word for "end of the year" in Hebrew means circuit. Today the word is understood as the Equinox. A circuit refers to something going around a track and returning to the same position. This is exactly what happens with the equinox. There is some dispute as to whether or not this referred to the equinox at the time of Moses but I find the explanation of why it wouldn't very flimsy. This is a culture that used the moon to determine the start of each month. Keeping track of the start of each year or the end of each year was critical. We know that the start of each year for the Jews was the month of Nisan which always occurs immediately after the equinox. The point of contention is whether or not the first day of Nisan is after the equinox. If this verse does in fact say that the end of the year is the vernal equinox then it tells us exactly which new moon is the start of the year, every year. If it doesn't say that then what does it say? The sun has returned to the same place as the end of the last year, but where is that place?

Josephus gives a different way in which you can calculate the first day of the year, but his way also agrees that the first day of the new year is always the first new moon after the equinox.

Finally there is this term that it is the month Abib, or it has to be in Abib. Abib is a star in the constellation Virgo and if you are after the equinox you will see as the sun rises in the morning the star Abib goes below the horizon. If you pick a month earlier the star Abib will be below the horizon before the sun rises, if you pick a month later the star Abib does not go below the horizon for some time after the sun rise.

If you do this, always start with the first new moon after the equinox then the Feast of Trumpets will also be the first new moon after the Fall equinox. The feast of trumpets is the date that used to be the first day of the year in Noah's day. For the world the year begins after the Fall equinox, but for the Jews once they left slavery their year started after the Spring equinox.

Once you understand this then you will immediately know that Rosh Hashanah cannot take place prior to September 21/22. The Hebrew calendar is prophetic, translating days on our calendar to days on the Hebrew calendar will reveal patterns and prophetic meaning. So this makes a very big difference. This year the Torah calendar is wrong, they were wrong with Passover and they are now wrong with Feast of Trumpets as well.

PROPHECY-- FINAL CALL


This is the final call to repent, put their house in order, and turn your heart to the Lord.

Money will perish and so will the rule of law. I will also take away th eelectricity.

War is coming from the North and the Far East.

This is the last call.

A vision and a warning

10 And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

11 And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.

12 In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.

13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.

14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.

15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.

Why would this be the first thing the Lord would speak to Samuel? He is obviously a young boy, we could think of many things the Lord would speak to reveal Himself for the first time. This word gives Samuel a vision and a warning. The warning is simple, do not be influenced by Eli's two sons. Think of a very young child in a neighborhood with two powerful gang members. He could easily be recruited and groomed for the gang. So he needs a very clear warning, they will both die in the same day. But that is also a controlling vision for Samuel "when I begin, I will also make an end". He knows the day those two die will be the day he must step up to take the reigns. So, do not be snared by those two, instead prepare diligently to take the reigns. And God identifies the error that Eli made, yes Eli knew God but he didn't restrain his children. Eli knew what his children were doing, he objected to it, but he didn't restrain them. In fact, he would rather that God from heaven would smite them rather than he would have to restrain them. Eli is like genuine believers who put up with the apostasy. They see things that are vile, but they don't want to cause waves. So people see his sons and they appear "tough" while the "christian" appears to be a wimp. This is going to be a controlling vision for Samuel, you will not be a wimpy priest.

Is the Headline “Israel Attacked, America sends Troops” about to be Fulfilled? 04/07/2023

Overthrowing the tables of the moneychangers

Matthew 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, G2855 and the seats of them that sold doves,

Mark 11:15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, G2855 and the seats of them that sold doves;

John 2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' G2855 money, and overthrew the tables;

This word translated as "moneychangers" or changers is only used these three times in the New Testament. The word means a money changer or a banker. Interestingly it is not used in Luke.

Luke 19:45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

In Mark and Luke they overthrow the tables of the moneychangers, I suspect this is a reference to the mark of the Beast. Also they overthrow the seats of those who sell doves, presumably for sacrifices in the temple.

So prior to the 70th week when we have the first rapture the only ones being cast out are those who buy and sell. This isn't to say that buying and selling is necessarily sinful, but doing it in the Temple, a house of prayer is. This reference to making the house of prayer into a den of thieves is certainly a reference to false prophets, people hawking books and CDs in church, selling tickets to concerts, etc.

So in Luke the focus is on the apostasy and false prophets. In Mark and Matthew we have the government pushing one world currency and we have sacrifices in the rebuilt temple.

My point being we will not be going to a CBDC prior to the rapture. You may see inflation, recession and economic collapse (people stop buying and selling) but not the mark of the beast.

This is what we are seeing in Luke

40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

This is the non stop worship we saw in various colleges that went on for seven or eight days.

41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

If you are paying attention you can see them creeping up on the US, Russian subs, Iranian and Chinese ships, N. Korean missiles. They have compassed the US all around, they are in the Atlantic, down south off each coast of S. America and Central America, and of course from the West with China and the North with Russian' ICBMs. The attack will be devastating. Notice in Luke it is not specifically referring to the temple or the temple mount. This reference to no stone upon another could refer to the country, the government or the economy.

45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

This is what we are seeing also. The banks have just dumped their mortgages. Because of the high interest rates it has turned the tables on mortgages, especially commercial property. The banks are referred to as being "upside down". They had a big problem, all their bonds had lost significant value. They have a way around that by not declaring the value and simply allowing them to go to maturity. So at first they all tried to keep it a secret, but then it leaked out with SVB, Signature Bank, and Credit Suisse. Now that everyone knows they are moving money from the banks to money markets and this is forcing them to sell assets and when they do they wind up declaring the losses showing they are essentially insolvent. The reason this is a "den of thieves" is that is the way they treated the reserve currency. They wrote huge budgets that they could simply print on the printing press and the rest of the world would have to pay for it. As a result China, Russia, India, Brazil, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and even France are ditching the US dollar.

47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, 48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

We have seen this too. They try to tell people what to believe using CNN and MSNBC but no one listens to them anymore. Their ratings are in the toilet. Think of the Lord moving in the populist movement. They have tried repeatedly to destroy this movement beginning with January 6th, Pfizer's vaccine, Afghanistan, the border crisis, LGBTQ+ movement, labelling parents at school board meetings as domestic terrorists, etc. But regardless of what they do the movement gets stronger and more and more people ditch Biden and his regime.

Two different words translated as Tribute

Matthew 22:17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

This is a specific word for poll tax.

Mark 12:14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

This also is a poll tax, same word as in Matthew 22:17

Luke 20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

This is not a poll tax, it is an annual tax upon houses, land and persons. This is what we have on April 15th.

The accusation of Jesus in Luke is this:

Luke 23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

They didn't say this in Matthew or Mark or John. In those gospels the key question is "are you the king of the Jews".

I find this very interesting because this would place the attack and the crucifixion at the time of tax day in the US, that is April 15th, though this year it is April 17th.

The Day of Michael the Archangel - Nisan 24 / April 15, 2023

Be careful that no man deceive you

1. to cause to stray, to lead astray, lead aside from the right way
   1. to go astray, wander, roam about
2. metaph.
   1. to lead away from the truth, to lead into error, to deceive
   2. to be led into error
   3. to be led aside from the path of virtue, to go astray, sin
   4. to sever or fall away from the truth
      1. of heretics
   5. to be led away into error and sin

Matthew 18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, G4105 doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? G4105

This is the first use of this word "deceive" in the NT, to go astray.

Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, G4105 not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

This is the second use, the Sadducees did not know the scriptures nor the power of God. We see this all the time people using their puny minds. They don't understand how something could be so they assume it must be false.

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive G4105 you.

How exactly should we do that? Stay close to the Shepherd, stay in the word of God and pray for revelation to know the power of God.

Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive G4105 many.

Claiming to be a Christian should not in any way be seen as proof that someone is not a deceiver, rather claiming you are "anointed", that should be seen as a warning. John said we all have the anointing. So in most cases someone claiming that they are "anointed" indicating a special anointing should set off alarm bells.

Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive G4105 many.

There is no safety in numbers. Do not think that because this person is famous, a best selling author, or has three thousand people in his congregation that he is not therefore a false prophet. On the contrary, the way is narrow and few there be that find it.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive G4105 the very elect.

Showing signs and wonders is not proof someone is from God. The Lord said "my sheep know my voice". That is what is crucial. Learn the Lord's voice and you can do that by being in the word of God.

John 7:12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth G4105 the people.

Do not assume if everyone is calling a person a false prophet that they are. That is how they treated Jesus and how they treated all the prophets.

So let's look at some of the deceptions being spread

1Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be G4105 ➔ not deceived: G4105 neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1Corinthians 15:33 Be G4105 ➔ not deceived: G4105 evil communications corrupt good manners.

Know the key principle

Galatians 6:7 Be G4105 ➔ not deceived; G4105 God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

If you spend time on the TV, doing fleshly things, having evil communications with unbelievers and colleagues, then you will reap what you sow. On the other hand if you sow every day to the spirit, reading the word, praying, fellowshipping, worshipping, then after a few months you will begin to reap. It is hard work to start a garden. I helped my dad, our yard was filled with roots from large oak trees. It was very hard word to dig it up. Then he put in raised beds and little brick paths so that he wouldn't walk on the garden. He sterilized the soil in the oven and then started the plants as seedlings in the basement. But when he was done we fed our entire family for months out of that small garden.

Pay attention to these warning signs

2Peter 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, G4105 following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

False prophets love the wages of unrighteousness. They will, for a price, help evil men deceive and destroy Christians. So then, anyone who is paid to be a "prophet" has this warning sign. Just because someone sells a book or is paid doesn't mean it is "the wages of unrighteousness". So you do need that second proof, the unrighteousness, but once you have that, flee.

1John 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce G4105 you.

Most if not all of us know when someone is trying to seduce us. If you have a balanced and informed opinion about who you are you will immediately recognize flattery. If you like to be flattered then you are a sitting duck for being seduced and deceived.

Do not tolerate deceivers

Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce G4105 my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

Ask in my name

John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

It seems to me that all believers should be sharing their experiences with this verse, that would be very helpful to all of us.

So let me share my experience.

I was a teacher. I wanted to be able to take my students over the course of one school year from a relatively low level to scoring at the very top of the city on the state exam.

The first hurdle was it seemed preposterous, they were inner city, other students in their demographic scored at the bottom 25%, and the schools at the top 5% were select schools, meaning you had to pass exams to get into the school.

However, it is a proven fact that teachers can have a big impact on the performance of the students. Also, just because the students enter the year at those schools ahead of my students in matters of English comprehension and math skills, I didn't see that as a big advantage to them. My subject was generally brand new to all students, so it would be just as new to kids in elite schools as to my students. The questions on the exam were often one word answers, no one was graded on grammar or even spelling. So it was like starting a marathon at the back of the pack, there is a slight advantage to those in the front, but it is only slight.

So I prayed for wisdom, and the first thing I learned was how to evaluate what I was doing to see if it was working and not just working but comparatively speaking how well compared to other methods. My first year my students scored at the bottom 25% level of the city. The second year they were at the 50% level. Every year we saw improvement. By the tenth year they were in the top 6% level.

It was a simple process, every year test out three new ideas, evaluate how they worked, toss out the ones that were less effective, use the ones that were more effective and keep on making incremental improvements.

In 2020 I believe we would have knocked the cover off the ball on that exam, I expected them to do significantly better than the class that scored in the top 6%. However, the exam was cancelled due to Covid.

So yes, I asked the Father in the name of Jesus, in faith, and I got what I asked for. Everyone else said it was impossible and foolish, but they were wrong, Jesus was right. However, it wasn't a "magic" act. It was daily praying, seeking the Lord, and having the Lord work within you on a daily basis.

Is it true that no one knows the day and hour of the rapture?

I believe the record of the Bible is that the pre 70th week rapture takes place at an hour that you think not for those who are not watching and are asleep. If you are watching there will be a multitude of signs to let you know the hour is at hand.

Luke 12: 39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through. 40 Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Mark 13:28 But learn the parable from the fig-tree: when its branch already becomes tender and puts forth the leaves, ye know that the summer is near. 29 Thus also *ye*, when ye see these things happening, know that it is near, at the doors. 30 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall in no wise pass away, till all these things take place. 31 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away. 32 But of that day or of that hour no one knows, neither the angels who are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.

Matthew 24:32 Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh; 33 even so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.

1. I think we can make sense out of this timeline for the tribulation and the pre-tribulation rapture. First think I would point out is that the verse which says "no one knows the day or the hour" is not in Luke, it is only in Mark and Matthew. I subscribe to the theory that Luke is written specifically to those who are in the pre-tribulation rapture. Mark is for those who are raptured out of the tribulation and Matthew is for the rapture of the nation of Israel.

2. I also believe that this expression "no one knows the day or the hour" refers to the new heaven and new earth. However, it does not refer to the pre-tribulation rapture. For the gospel of Mark and Matthew it refers to the new heaven and new earth.

So based on this I believe the Tribulation, the seven years, starts on the Feast of Trumpets. The Pre-Tribulation rapture takes place prior to this "at an hour that you think not" only for those who are not watching. This is not the feast of trumpets. Instead, at night a thief is coming and you should be watching. Not everyone is a night watchman but for those that are they should be on duty and should see that this thief is coming.

But, the Feast of Trumpets announces the coming of the king. Surely that would be an alert for all of God's people regardless of when they are raptured. Sure enough, there are ten days after the Feast of Trumpets before you have Atonement. I believe this refers to the last ten years, the 70th week is simply the last seven.

There is another clue,

Luke 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

December through February is the least popular time to have a wedding, I would think from this word He is not talking about winter. I would also rule out Lent, the fact that they eat and drink suggests this is not during a period of fasting. So I would think this word points away from mid November through Passover at the beginning of the barley harvest.

APRIL 15: TAX DAY / #42 / 2300 DAYS FOR THE TRAMPLING OF GOD´S PEOPLE

PROPHECY-- THE PENALTY


I speak to those in my body who do not believe I speak to my creation. I have spoken words of hope, words of love, words of warning, and words outlining what the penalty is for refusing to repent and turn from your evil ways.

I was three days and nights in darkness and soon your world will see the darkness. The penalty for turning away from me is the destruction of a nation.

Great shakings will shake this land. Lawlessness and calamity will turn this land into a wasteland. You will no longer be the home of the brave and the land of the free. You will be the home of hissing and the land of captives.

Brace, brace, brace for the Noahide laws are now in place and ready to bring men into bondage. Christians will be hunted and killed under these laws. I love you so much and I will be here for you.

An appointed time for judgement, part 1

18 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

The first question of course is who is "Babylon the great" (not Babel and not Babylon, but Babylon the great). In Revelation 17 it is quite clearly the Vatican that is being referred to. But here, in chapter 18, it can't possibly be the Vatican. Also, if you see that the Vatican is the religious aspect of this "great Babylon" then it obviously cannot be referring to Iran. At this point we must see this as a golden kingdom, that has become the habitation of devils. It wasn't originally but it has become so. It is also the hold of every foul spirit. So we have a golden kingdom and everyone including the Bible and God calls "great" has become the habitation of devils and the fortress of every foul spirit. The word hold refers to a prison. According to the Greek it is the "habitation of and the hold of". Does this mean they both live here and are imprisoned here, or more likely they live here and control the prison here. The British royal family has their habitation in London and they also have their prison, the tower of London, in London as well. Perhaps what it means is "the inmates are running asylum. Ever since Biden became president it surely seems like the inmates are running the asylum here in the US. Then it describes it as "a cage of every unclean and hateful bird". The cage is both the home and the prison of a bird. This is the situation in the US, the rulers appear to be every unclean and hateful bird, the dwell in the halls of power, but it is also a cage for them. They are forced to give press conferences, appear in hearings, and get ridiculed daily by the press.

3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

So what country can be called great, and can say that "the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies". This is a great consumer nation, the biggest consumer nation in human history. Today it would be hard for any nation other than the US or China to consider themselves "great" and it is clear that of the two the US is the great consumer nation, whereas China is a great merchant nation. China, as the leading merchant nation, has waxed rich due to the consumption of the US.

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

My people refers to believers, the church. Obviously this cannot refer to China or Russia, or Iran. You cannot say that the world's merchants have gotten rich from the Vatican. There are countries like the UK and Denmark and Greece that consider themselves to have a national Christian identity. But no one could confuse them for "the great Babylon".

5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

People around the world have been praying to God about the sins of the US. When they have a drone strike on a funeral service you can be sure the prayers go up. When the have a catastrophe that kills or poisons thousands of people you can be sure the prayers go up. When they interfere in the governments of every nation you can be sure the prayers go up.

6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

As you have done, it will be done to you. The JFK assassination was blamed on people who had nothing to do with it (Russia, Cuba and the Mafia). 911 was also a false flag event framing people who were pawns in the whole thing. The Vietnam war is another example. So then, if she framed you for things you didn't do, then fill to her double, if she assassinated her own leaders, fill to her double, if she committed mass murder against her own citizens fill to her double.

7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

There is only one country on earth who has the audacity to think that war will never come to her shores. This obviously cannot refer to any European nation, or African Nation, or Asian Nation. Only the US has this attitude. Blithely ignorant of human history and ignorantly thinking that somehow the US is immune from these events.

8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

They come in one day? Pearl harbor came in one day. 911 came in one day. To sink a ship or destroy a building can be done in one day, but to destroy an entire country in one day? That could be a meteor, it could be the eruption of Yosemite, or it could be nuclear bombs. But other than that it is hard to imagine any other way this judgement could come in one day.

9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

So we are talking about a sinful, hateful, demonic nation, that is arrogant and hateful. Yet, there are a number of puppet rulers around the world who bewail and lament for her. Once again there are very few nations that this could refer to and only one that all of these things can refer to, and that is the US.

11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

Imagine if the US in one day could no longer import anything? That sounds like a total collapse of the US dollar. This could also refer to the destruction of our ports, say with a giant tsunami. In human history we have never seen such a thing. We have seen the collapse of currencies in Germany, Argentina and Venezuela, but not in one day and not so thoroughly that they couldn't import anything.

An appointed time for judgement, part 2

14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

This is truly catastrophic on a scale we have never seen before, the reality of "shock and awe".

15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

The merchants are weeping and wailing? The collapse of the great Babylon is a monstrous impact on the rest of the world. Once again, this cannot possibly be referring to Iran or the Vatican. It isn't talking about the UK. However, if the US were to collapse it would certainly bring down the entire world's economy.

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

One thing that is unique to the US is that we have many ports. We sit on two oceans. Ships come to us from all over the world. No other country has as many ports as the US.

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

"That Great City". How many great cities are there in the world? London, Hong Kong, and NYC come to mind. These are the major stock exchanges in the world. This is where the major finance and insurance centers of the world were. Without them you would not have international shipping. The Great Babylon sure looks like the US but to be more precise it looks like multinational corporations.

20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

Only recently has it become abundantly clear how much these multinational corporations dislike evangelical Christians. Their conspiracy to wipe out Evangelicals can no longer be hidden. Whether by censoring conservative Christians, or with their support of abortion or with LGBTQ+ or with one world religion. So even if you were not aware of how demonic and evil the grammies are, or Hollywood is, or the Superbowl is, or the Olympics is, the fact is that God knows.

21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

A millstone is used to grind grain and casting it into the ocean to sink is how the stock market collapses. If something horrific were to happen to the US on Sunday then when the market opens on Monday it would be like this. You would simply see the market sink to the bottom of the ocean.

22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

I went to the same high school that Norman Rockwell did. Many of his paintings remind me of the school I went to, the kids in our town, the caroling at Christmas, the bridge I went swimming off of and even my pediatricians office. Growing up I felt they were wonderful pictures of my childhood. Yet recently while teaching in Brooklyn I discovered that people think the paintings were fanciful make believe and there never was a "Norman Rockwell America". Look at these verses, it will be like that only a hundred times worse. No songs, no candles, no weddings, instead the whole world was deceived by our "pharmakeia", deceived by Pfizer and Moderna. Now I wonder what that could possibly be referring to? What could our pharmaceutical companies have done that would anger the entire world?

24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

If you think there have been a lot of ugly revelations recently about the sins of the US just wait, it is about to become horrific. I was familiar with Event 201, a simulation of the 2020 Pandemic that the CIA ran in 2019, and during the simulation the goal was not how to keep people healthy but how to keep people from talking about the bioweapons lab being the source of the outbreak. But now today I learn from Kennedy that the CIA did 20 of these simulations all of which then resulted in some outbreak or catastrophe.

An appointed time for judgement, part 3

So if the US is the Great Babylon and this judgement is determined for us, then the question is whether or not there is an appointed time for this judgment to take place.

Habakkuk 2:3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it

What thing?

Daniel 10:1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.

2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.

3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;

The context of this word is that Daniel just got the revelation of the 70th week and of the Antichrist. It is a revelation of where the kingdom of man is ultimately going to lead. As a result he is mourning three full weeks. Daniel, like the watchman, has the revelation of the end of days and is seeking very much to understand and see, what he sees is hidden. He says "a thing was revealed unto Daniel, and the thing was true, but the time was very long, and he understood the thing". Question I have is "what thing"?

But then this chapter concludes "But I will she thee that which is noted in scripture". The next chapter begins saying "And now will I shew thee the truth" and here he describes world history and all the various empires. But this is not "the thing" in the previous chapter, the thing that is true, because that thing the time is very long, and here Daniel is describing everything that takes place during that long time.

It could be the resurrection from the dead, but that was not on the 24th of the first month. What thing was revealed on the 24th of the first month? I am not aware of any significant event in Jewish history or the Bible taking place a long time after Daniel on the 24th of Nisan. Daniel does not even describe the Lord's crucifixion as a long time away, but rather at the end of the 69th week.

So then some "thing" will be revealed, it is true, it is confirmed in the scripture, and the time is very long. I suspect he is referring to the end of the age either around the start of the 70th week. However, it seems very strange to me that the 70th week, referring to a seven year period for Israel would start on any day other than the first day of the year, and this event is the 24th day of the first month. A day tied to a battle in the heavens with Michael standing up to fight, similar to the war we see in Revelation 12 when the Manchild is caught up to heaven.

Anyway, the 24th of Nisan begins the evening of April 15th until the evening of April 16th. Let us see if we get to see the revelation that Daniel saw thousands of years earlier. This thing that is true, that the scripture confirms.
