The Rapture of the Church is Imminent and This will Convince YOU!

Very clear exegesis of Paul's use of the word apostasia referring to the rapture as the departure of the church.

If you are new to this blog

These are Pdfs anyone can download of all my posts.

251 Bible verses on that describe when the rapture is

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.

The Bible never says no one knows the day or the hour

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.

A Letter to those left behind after the rapture

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dM18beTF9Jka3w8XUk10ARkI-cYnltH5/view?usp=sharing

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.

Index of Bible References volumes 1-4

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.

This is a reference of Bible verses in these four volumes.

For those who love the Lord's appearing

This is only for those who love the Lord's appearing. It is quite similar to the recent Pdfs I have posted but I have added a few things so that it is now 94 pages.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xJTvILxnEKuTJwly7GevmvogKQOkYSNq/view?usp=sharing

Anyway, do not read this if you are one of those servants that

say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

Finally, I have been locked out of this Gmail account where these are all posted. So I suspect very shortly these will be taken down as well. However, I have accessed them this morning so they are still up.

How do you reconcile Matthew 24:36 with Amos 3:7?

There are several ways to understand V 36 that are valid, but the common understanding that He said "no one will ever know" is not a valid interpretation.

1. No Bible verse is of its own interpretation. That is what Peter said, it is a fundamental principle in Bible exposition. So your reference to Amos 3:7 is a very valid interpretation, to point out that even though Jesus did not reveal the day or the hour in Matthew, there is a promise that before God does anything He will reveal it. An example of that is God telling Abraham about what was going to happen to Sodom beforehand. Jesus also said that the end would be as the days of Lot and the day that God told Abraham about it would certainly qualify as one of those days. A second valid way to interpret this is to say that No man, and no angels means you will not find the answer to this question in any book of the Bible or in the book of Enoch, etc. However, this does not eliminate the possibility that the answer is like a jigsaw puzzle of 250 pieces and if you put together those pieces from every book of the Bible you will get your answer. That may seem like a stretch, but would be in line with Revelation 3:3. A third valid interpretation is based on Colossians 2 which says that the Holy Days are a shadow of things to come. Moses gave the feasts of the Lord in the books of Moses, over 400 years after God made the covenant with Abraham. Those feasts are prophetic, they are a very precise shadow of the things to come. When Jesus said no one knows the day or the hour to my understanding that proves that none of the Feasts of the Lord in the books of Moses are a shadow of the rapture. However, what about Holy Days celebrated by the church that were established hundreds of years after our covenant was made when Jesus died on the cross? A fourth interpretation is that Jesus said this before the book of Acts and the epistles and Revelation. Paul said that mysteries hidden from the ages and generations were revealed to Him. It is very possible that what had not been revealed at the time of the gospels was revealed to Paul and John.

The thing to realize is that what Jesus said does not exclude these three interpretations and all three could easily be correct. However, Revelation 3:3 and Amos 3:7 does eliminate the interpretation that no one will ever know. That is a bogus interpretation.

John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

The Lord is speaking to the disciples who have been with him for several years. They are going to be ministering after the Lord's death. In their ministry things that don't bring forth fruit will be taken away. Perhaps you spend several hours a week watching sports, that will be taken away if it is not bearing fruit. Suppose you do things that do bear fruit? Those will be pruned to maximize the impact of the Spirit, the sap.

For example, write out your message and then edit it. You will be able to say the same thing with 10% fewer words. Wait a day and edit it again, you will still be able to make improvements to make it more concise.

John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

We have seen this with the watchmen community. You have to abide in the Lord, you have let His words abide in you. if you don't do that you will dry up and be cast into the fire. If you do abide inthe Lord then pray, you are a coworker with God, He can provide whatever it is your ministry needs.

John 18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

This is why I believe we will be given a heads up prior to the rapture if we are in continual fellowship with the Lord Jesus. This is why I was looking for Vicky Goforth Parnell's testimony prior to her giving it. By itself the visitation from Gabriel does not tell us the date. However, what he does tell us is that that announcement was the very last trumpet prior to "the last trumpet" which awakens the dead and causes the rapture. So then you must understand what that means.

I interpret this to refer to the Feast of trumpets and the 100 trumpet blasts. Gabriel was saying that visitation was the 99th trumpet blast and the next one will be the 100th. That in turn would cause you to wonder when the first Trumpet blast was. If you thought it was at the start of the church age 2,000 years ago then you would assume you have around 20 more years. If you thought it was October 2, 2024 when the Pact for the Future was approved you would divide 85 days by 99, and think the 100th trumpet blast would come by the 27th of December.

But I believe and have been trying to explain this that the Feast of Trumpets begins 10 days (10 years) prior to the day of judgment.

October 2, 2024 -- this was the fulfillment of Daniel 9:27 where the many (the UN) strengthened the seven year covenant (Agenda 2030) by confirming the Pact for the Future. 7 years to the day of judgment.

September 17, 2023 -- Agenda 2030 was adopted in 2015, took effect in 2016, and 2023 was the halfway point when the UN hosted the 2023 SDG Summit at the time of Rosh Hashanah. 8 years to the day of judgement

September 25, 2022 -- 9 years to the day of judgment

September 6, 2021 -- 10 years to the day of judgement -- Feast of Trumpets -- The WHO was pushing the experimental vaccine and its boosters on the world. The Whitehouse mandated this experimental vaccine on all Federal employees. This was a violation of international law and so should be seen as the start of this new age. The first sliver of the moon could be conclusively seen for this new age of international dictatorial law.

That would give us approximately 1208 days from the first Trumpet blast to the 99th Trumpet blast.

1208/99 = 12.2 days.

December 26 +12 days = January 7th.

I realize how averse everyone is to "dates" but Jesus knew everything that was coming upon Him, He knew when it was coming, and there is no reason we also would not know when it is coming if we are in fellowship with Him.

19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. 20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. 21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said. 22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? 23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

Everything I have taught on this matter is on this blog. I teach openly. In secret I have said nothing. This is simply imitating Jesus. He is our example. I have done this specifically with an eye to one day having to appear before the judgement. If they were to quote this blog it would give me the right to also quote it.

31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

Everyone should understand what is going on, there is a battle between the Law of God and the Law of man. The Antichrist kingdom wants to reign supreme and reject the Law of God. Those of us who are Christians proclaim that Jesus is Lord and every knee will bow to Him. That includes man's law and man's government.

39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

Barabbas means "Son of the Father". This is what an election is, who do you want to be freed from execution, The Son of the Father, or a son of the father? One is the savior the other is a robber. One is the real thing, the other is a counterfeit. The world will choose Antichrist, a counterfeit, a robber. Why do people vote for robbers to lead them? Because they tell people what they want to hear.

Is Lightning Our Last Sign Prior to Judgment? Does a Squared Year Set the Tribulation Anchor?


There are approximately 25 lightning strikes on the Empire State building each year.

25/365 is 6.8%. So a lightning strike on Dec 31st should be seen as random. Any occurrence greater than 5% chance of happening is seen as random.

The same goes for the other 3 iconic buildings (2 in NYC and 2 in Washington DC hit by lightning on December 31). By themselves it is simply a random occurrence. But the odds of all four happening on December 31st is

0.068x0.068x0.068x0.068 = 0.002% odds of happening. That is 2 / 100,000. That should not be viewed as coincidence but rather as a sign from God.

Also this should end the debate over whether or not NYC or Washington DC or whatever is Babylon. The judgement is going to fall on the US.

If you divide this number 2/100,000 by 365 then this is probably the first time this has happened since the first Aliya (Large scale immigration to Israel, mostly from Russia).

If you divide it by 12 for months it is 4,166 years which brings us back to the time of Samuel, Saul and King David.

If you divide it by 1961, 40 complete jubilees since 70 AD you get 25. For example December 25th and on the Julian calendar December 25th is January 7th.

He mentions the Capital building, the Washington Monument and the Empire State building. However, I don't think he mentioned One World Trade center, or "Freedom Tower" which was also struck. Those are the four buildings that I am referring to.
