108 Bible verses on that describe when the rapture is
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mH8yd5JQnHemmzYxv52xc4vaiecbzgcl/view?usp=sharing
We always hear that no one knows when the rapture will be. Of course the Lord never
said no one knows the year or the season, just the day and the hour. But suppose that
verse means “no one verse knows”. You see you can get one verse in Hosea that does
point to the year and you can get one verse in Amos that does point to the season and
one verse in Jeremiah that does point to the season. Now imagine each of these 108
Bible verses tell us something, none of them tell us “the day or the hour” but they each
narrow down the possible days and hours. In other words they could be a filter
removing days and hours that don’t fit.

This is a Pdf that discusses how to discern a false prophet, it also discusses several key verses on the timing of the rapture as well as Ken Peters dream, the writing on the Wall sign and a few other relevant points about thanksgiving, and the Pact for the Future.
Writing on the Wall Sign
Here is a summary of what I posted on this blog concerning the Writing on the Wall sign along with what I have shared on Daniel.

I based most of my letter on the Gospel according to Mark and the Book of Acts.
We are at war -- our enemies are already destroying our communications satellites.
Because of this the internet could go down at any time.
Therefore I expect this forum and especially this blog will be censored and unavailable. As a result I have created these Pdfs. I recommend you download them to a computer or flash drive. This is not because of my interpretation of the word but rather because these all are filled with the word of God. If you are using an online Bible you will greatly appreciate having something like this. Plus, for those who are newly saved it will be an example of how you can read the Bible.
I have made about 120 posts since the last time I posted these and we have had about 10,000 new visitors to the site. These are here for anyone to download. In a very short time frame the internet will be fully censored of material on the Bible.

I would have done this for all of them but ran out of time. However, it does help those who are interested in a particular verse to find the verse and what is said about it. One reason I did this was so I could look for verses that had not been referenced.

The Day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night.
We know that when they confirm the covenant with the many it is the start of the seven year period known as the 70th week. If Agenda 2030 had been put into effect with the digital currency in 2023 everyone would have seen that as the fulfillment of that prophecy. Instead they put the pieces in place with Agenda 2030 but did not enact it. Then in 2024 they passed "Pact for the Future". That actually enacts Agenda 2030 with the digital currency in the event of a Black Swan event. Again, no one noticed, they have confirmed this covenant stealthily, secretly, and in the cover of darkness just like a thief in the night. Why? Because if they had been open they know the restrainer would have shut them down. They are scared of all the born again Christians filled with the Holy Spirit proclaiming that the day of the Lord is here. Ironically, that fulfills even more prophecies that the Day of the Lord is here.

Does Israel rebuild the Temple?
Luke 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
The house is left desolate indicates what has happened to the temple. They do not say "blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord" until the midpoint of the tribulation. I think it is fair to say the house is left desolate to that point and that is the point at which Antichrist sets the abomination of desolation up in the Holy Place. That is also when the true Jews who belong to the Lord flee.
The only word in the Bible about the third temple being built is in the New Testament. Jesus said He would build the gathering of the called out ones (church) and in Ephesians Paul said the church is the temple of God, and in Revelation we are told that the New Jerusalem descends to earth, there is no temple because God is their temple.
That said the Old Testament does prophesy that the Tabernacle of David will be raised. That could be where the Holy place and Holy of Holies is that the abomination of desolation is put.
Luke 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Israel is not desolate, they are a vibrant, first world country with a very strong economy. They have a military that is respected by all. That said the "house" is desolate. There is no temple and their temple mount is dominated by Muslims. This is what I would say this prophecy told them would happen. So if Israel were to rebuild the temple prior to saying "blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord" it would violate the word of God.
Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
When you understand the Bible the principle is that no verse is of its own interpretation. When Jesus was on the cross He told His disciple "behold your mother" and so that disciple took Jesus' mother in and cared for her. So this verse is clearly not saying that we are to discard any concern for the welfare of our family. Instead, Paul explains what this means.
Philippians 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
These are three groups of people. Dogs is a reference to those who are immoral, profligate, and involved in fornication. Evil workers are a reference to those who involved in Satanism and criminal behavior. The concision refers to a cult, people who believe you need something in addition to Jesus' blood to be redeemed. This covers every type or category of person who would have an agenda to turn you from the Lord.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
To be the circumcision refers to those to whom the Lord is pledged, just like a woman whose fiancee has given her an engagement ring. We worship God in spirit, you are not required to go to any specific place or church. All cults will argue that if you don't worship with them then you are lacking. We rejoice in Christ Jesus, all evil workers will want you to rejoice in something else be it your job, your money, your power, position, whatever. And all "dogs" want you to partake of fleshly pursuits. They will use arguments to say that it will be just a little, you don't need to worry. They will want you to have some confidence in your flesh.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
This is what Jesus is talking about. To hate your father and mother is to have no trust in the flesh.
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
How many put trust in their upbringing to say they are saved. I was christened as a child. I go to church every week. I pay my tithes. I am a fundamental christian.
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
Wow, imagine thinking that persecuting those that do not agree with you pleases God. Jesus said there would be those who think persecuting us will bring favor to them from God. Blameless concerning the righteousness in the law? This sounds like the most self righteous christian who condemns everyone else.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Paul's point is that once he saw that Jesus was Lord he immediately saw that the things he thought were gain to him with God, were actually loss. Jesus told him "why persecutest Me?" He wasn't persecuting evil people he was persecuting the body of Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
I have heard people talk glowingly of who their family is. My older brother has spent a lot of time researching our family tree. I am not interested in that. According to the Bible when I became saved and Jesus came to live in me, I became part of His family tree. I am more interested in Ruth and David and Abraham and Jacob being my ancestors. The faith they had I can have too. I am not interested in their flesh, but their faith.
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Where are you going to be found when the Lord returns? In Christ? In the word of God? In fellowship? In ministry? Will you be found with your own righteousness based on the law, or with the righteousness that is through the faith in Jesus Christ? Jesus righteousness can be imputed to you by faith, but not by works of the law.
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
What is the rapture but to know by and the power of His resurrection? So the question is, do you also know the fellowship of His sufferings? Were you made conformable unto His death, having behaved like a lamb that was silent as you were crucified?
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
This is how one attains to the resurrection of the dead which of course also refers to the rapture.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
We are pursuing Christ just as He pursued us. If you focus on what the Lord went through to pursue you then what you have to go through is something you will rejoice in.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
This is the point in Luke. To "hate your family" is to bear your cross.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
There is a price to be paid. Do not let your family stop you. Some in your family are possibly the dogs, evil workers or concision. I would suspect that the majority, at least two thirds of the world's population, perhaps even 75% of the world's population falls into one of those three categories.
29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
How many have been like this? They were very strong for a couple of years and then returned to the world.
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

My feeling about these drones is that it is about time. I am not as patient and longsuffering as the Lord is. There are a lot of people who because of their wisdom do not know God. I preached the gospel to many of these, they were too smart and too strong to need a crutch, but they were quite condescending to Christians and anyone who did need a crutch. Well you reap what you sow. The Bible is very clear, God will have them in derision. The evidence for the Lord's salvation is overwhelming but these ones will instead believe in Aliens from 1,000 light years away coming to the Earth to help mankind. God said He would turn their wisdom to foolishness. They'll believe project blue beam, they will believe alien abduction, and once we do get to eternity their story will be a comedy that we can laugh at for many years afterwards. They will believe these good hearted aliens abducted all the bad Christians and the children to help them. Talk about saps.
What does the Bible say about the drones and all lying wonders
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
God is going to take the "wise" in their own craftiness. They think they are so slick in telling lies, well we are about to see the big lie. In the Bible the big lie was what the guards said about the disciples of Jesus coming and stealing Him in the night. In the same way they will lie about the rapture. Now ultimately this lie will be exposed and then they will be cast into the pit of hell.
Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Refusing to believe in the precious blood of Jesus but instead believing in benevolent aliens traveling 1,000 light years to the Earth in order to remove all the bad Christians and small children. Talk about becoming fools.
Psalm 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
The Lord will have them in derision. Every time they ridiculed and mocked believers, this will come back to them and they will reap 100 fold.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Alien technology is simply the Lord letting them work their iniquity. What is restraining them are spirit filled Christians filled with the Holy Spirit. When they are taken out of the way then they will no longer be restrained.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
After the rapture they will be revealed. Right now they are simply setting the stage so that the lie might be believable.
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
All lying wonders. That includes project blue beam and all the other lies.
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
The problem is not the liars, or the fallen angels or the demons. The problem is with those who did not receive the love of the truth.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
This strong delusion is being sent by God. It is His holding them in derision and making their wisdom foolishness and catching them in their own craftiness.
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
God desires all men to be saved and come to the full knowledge of the truth. However, if you reject that, do not believe the truth, and take pleasure in righteousness then this is what you get so that you might be damned. God does not play around.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
God is going to take the "wise" in their own craftiness. They think they are so slick in telling lies, well we are about to see the big lie. In the Bible the big lie was what the guards said about the disciples of Jesus coming and stealing Him in the night. In the same way they will lie about the rapture. Now ultimately this lie will be exposed and then they will be cast into the pit of hell.
Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Refusing to believe in the precious blood of Jesus but instead believing in benevolent aliens traveling 1,000 light years to the Earth in order to remove all the bad Christians and small children. Talk about becoming fools.
Psalm 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
The Lord will have them in derision. Every time they ridiculed and mocked believers, this will come back to them and they will reap 100 fold.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Alien technology is simply the Lord letting them work their iniquity. What is restraining them are spirit filled Christians filled with the Holy Spirit. When they are taken out of the way then they will no longer be restrained.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
After the rapture they will be revealed. Right now they are simply setting the stage so that the lie might be believable.
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
All lying wonders. That includes project blue beam and all the other lies.
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
The problem is not the liars, or the fallen angels or the demons. The problem is with those who did not receive the love of the truth.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
This strong delusion is being sent by God. It is His holding them in derision and making their wisdom foolishness and catching them in their own craftiness.
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
God desires all men to be saved and come to the full knowledge of the truth. However, if you reject that, do not believe the truth, and take pleasure in righteousness then this is what you get so that you might be damned. God does not play around.
The appointed day
Proverbs 7:20 has always been one of my least favorite verses. You have this gross adulterous woman telling us when the Lord is going to return and she says it will be on a full moon. Why of all people would she know?
Revelation 3:3b If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
If the Lord tells Sardis this, then surely that will apply to this adulterous woman as well. So I have always felt she was clueless about when the Lord is going to return.
Now Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. In the Old testament we are told all the Holy convocations that tell you the day and the hour that key events will take place. All of the feasts applied to Jesus, the last Adam. But after the church was built from the blood and water from his side I expect that there will be an appointed day for her rapture.
Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
During the Lord's earthly ministry He made it clear there was no Holy convocation for His return.
However, Jesus is Lord. Everything in the epistles represents His heavenly ministry and instead of giving us a Holy Convocation with a day and hour, He gave us a whole lot of signs to watch for. There are many prophecies to watch for, like night watchmen.
Also, Satan can do nothing without Jesus permission. Jesus is Lord. I have looked at Thanksgiving and that does apply to the US, but not to the rest of the world. Is there an appointed day for the rapture to take place and for the Antichrist to be revealed? An appointed day where a thief comes in the night? The reason God does things on appointed days is because it confirms the prophets and it is a strong message to those that Jesus is the Messiah and He is God. That is why I expect the rapture and destruction of Babylon should take place on a day that is significant to those left behind.
The USSR collapsed on Christmas, so you can be sure that is a very significant day for Putin. He was greatly insulted at the west rejoicing over the collapse so for him to attack the US on Christmas is a significant day that sends a message. Likewise N. Korea promised to give the US a Christmas gift. So this would also be a significant day for them. Christmas is a pagan holiday and although some may be worshipping Jesus with a pure heart on this day, most are worshipping mammon and pagan idols. This is a Babylonian holy day for the birthday of one of their gods who is a shadow of the Antichrist. It is the ideal day to reveal the antichrist.
You can be sure that on the evening of December 24th people are singing Christmas songs in all the churches. If the rapture were to take place at that time then for those left behind those songs would be turned to a dirge and lamentation.

I don't think that the Lord should do all this judgment on the world, and the apostate church until He first warns people about hell, presents a strong case convicting them of sin while also giving them the way of salvation. If He did that then surely they would repent and only the most hardened obstinate sinner would still be mocking and ridiculing. Oh, scratch that, I guess that is what He has been doing these last 2,000 years.
Do the Jews need to rebuild the temple?
1. This doctrine is inferred, by that I mean that nowhere does any verse tell us the Jews will build a third temple prior to Antichrist putting the idol into the holy place. The thought is that if there is a holy place for the idol then they must have rebuilt the temple.
It is important to know where the doctrine came from because if the logic is faulty then the doctrine falls apart.
So then, can Antichrist put the abomination of desolation into the Holy Place if the temple is not rebuilt and can the oblations and sacrifices be carried out by the priests without a temple? The answer to both questions is yes, they can raise the tabernacle of David.
So then, is there any prophecy that says they will raise the tabernacle of David? Yes there is.
Are there any prophecies at all, anywhere about a third temple being built?
Yes, Jesus said He would build His church and according to Ephesians the church is the temple of God. Paul said he was a wise masterbuilder and that each one of us in ministry is building on the foundation that he laid. In Revelation we are told that the New Jerusalem descends from heaven and there is no temple in it, because God is the temple. God dwells in the New Jerusalem, so the entire city is His Temple. Ezekiel also describes the building of a temple, but that also would have to refer to the New Jerusalem.
More importantly, there are many reasons to question this theory. First, there is no verse in the Bible that tells us the third temple is destroyed. So what happens to it?
Second, Herod's temple took 40 years to build and yet there is nothing in the discussion of the seven year tribulation describing the Jews building a temple.
Third, we are told the Day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night, secretly, while most people are asleep and clueless. So the Temple could not begin building prior to the rapture or else everyone would wake up.

Is it contrary to the Bible to say the Jews will build a third temple?
Zechariah 6:13 Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
This verse says that the Messiah builds the third temple. Jesus is the Messiah.
John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
Jesus confirms Zechariah, He will raise up the third temple once the second is destroyed. But the reality of the destruction of the second temple was the crucifixion of Jesus and the reality of raising up the third temple is the raising up of the Body of christ.
Colossians 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
The physical temple is simply a shadow of the spiritual reality.
So no, Jesus, the Messiah, is not going to be building a third physical temple in Jerusalem during the seventieth week.
However, this does not mean that the antichrist, a counterfeit Christ won't.
which is what the abomination of desolation is very likely referring to.

Why do we celebrate Christmas?
Level 1 Understanding
When I was younger I thought we celebrated Christmas because we were remembering Jesus birth in a manger. The Bible says to the pure all things are pure. So it is certainly plausible that there are those whose worship of Jesus at Christmas is pure.
But along with what is clearly a wonderful worship of Jesus based on the account of His birth in Luke we also have other stories.
Level 2 Understanding
As a child I did not know the Bible so I assumed it was all part of the same story. Santa gave you this distorted view of the Bible and of prayer (letter to Santa). Flying reindeer and elves at the North Pole gave you a distorted view of heaven and the rapture. Pretending that Santa visits every home and gives presents to the kids was perpetrating a lie. Some think this is a good thing, but like all lies the day comes when the kids realize they have been lied to. Then you think all parents are liars. You also think religion is a lie because you thought those stories were in the Bible.
At this point Christmas is no longer pure, you have mixed crystal clear water from Luke with all kinds of Chemicals like Chlorine and Fluorine. Why do you think so many people assume that Jesus is a myth just like Santa is.
Level 3 Understanding
But then when you do receive Jesus you learn that He is Lord. Nothing happens on earth that He does not allow. There would be no worship of Jesus' birth at Christmas eve if it were not for Jesus allowing it. There would be no crass commercialism of this holiday if Jesus did not allow it. The dichotomy in this celebration is crystal clear, some are pagans and prefer to call this Xmas, eliminate Christ the Messiah altogether. Others would be happy to eliminate the commercialism altogether and the only part they like is the Christmas eve service singing hymns to the Lord and worshipping the incarnated Lord.
So I do not have a tree. I do not lie to my kids. However, I buy them gifts at this time because it is part of Satan's plan to portray anyone who doesn't buy into the whole Santa clause story as a miser, a Scrooge, and a Grinch. I also use this to explain to them how the world lies, what is true and what is a lie. I don't want my kids to be ignorant of Satan's devices.
But, I don't believe that Christmas is from Satan. No, all things are from God. Pray that God would open your eyes to see why He has ruled that we would have this Christmas celebration at this time and everything surrounding it. There is no point debating it, at this point if you have a problem with this holiday pray for understanding and revelation.

Seall the book till the time of the End
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
The reason Daniel is no longer sealed up and Daniel and the Writing on the wall is no longer sealed up is because this is the time of the end
