Joshua 2:10 For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

11 And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the Lord, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:

13 And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.

14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.

16 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

17 And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.

19 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.

20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

21 And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

Bible verses that point to the rapture March 13th/14th (2a)

I wanted to go over these verses a second time in a little more depth.

1. Daniel 5:29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. 30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.

We have had the writing on the Wall sign, three solar eclipses that have gone over the US writing out "Aleph Tav", or "Alpha and Omega", the Lord's initials. The interpretation is that the US will be judged and according to this verse it happens that same night that it was interpreted. There are books written expounding on this sign and youtube videos. The sign is truly amazing and an event that has likely only happened this once in human history. The sign was completed in April of 2024 and then interpreted. If we view one year as one day then the night would be from the Fall Equinox to the Spring Equinox, March 21, 2025. This is reasonable if viewed from the North pole as one day at the North pole equals one year. This verse would indicate that this will take place prior to that date and in this sign we see a picture of the rapture: Daniel is lifted up at the same time that Babylon is destroyed.

2. Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

The sun was turned to darkness three times from 2017 to 2024 in the Writing on the Wall sign and then the Moon is turned to blood on Purim, 2025 and was turned to darkness on Purim 2024. The context of this verse is Joel describing a worldwide Pandemic and global shutdown that had never been seen in human history. Joel 1:2 2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? On March 11, 2020 the WHO declared a global Pandemic, that was Purim in 2020. So then the context of this blood moon is a global pandemic and shutdown of the economy never before seen, along with the Sun being turned into darkness three times and the moon into blood. By itself this prophecy is meaningless because there are solar eclipses and lunar eclipses every year. But in the context of the Pandemic in 2020 this is extremely meaningful.

3. Daniel 4:29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. 30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? 31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

We can make several connections between Donald Trump and Nebuchadnezzar. Recently he referred to himself saying "Long live the King" and he also posted a picture of golden statue of himself. We can even imagine Trump making such a boast. He is also working on a peace deal with Gaza where he will split Israel. By itself this would be impossible to interpret, but Purim is at the end of the year on the Hebrew Calendar, it is also at the end of 12 months after the last solar eclipse of the Writing on the Wall sign. Taken in context with everything else it does support a judgment falling on the US and President Trump on Purim, 2025. It is stunning that Joe Biden was president when the Writing on the Wall sign was interpreted and yet it is Trump who is President 12 months later. What are we seeing now with Epstein Island revelations, we are seeing the Biden administration being exposed, prosecuted and convicted.

4. Proverbs 7:20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

The day appointed refers to both a full moon and an appointed day. Passover, the 15th of Av and Feast of Tabernacles all occur on a full moon. But those are key dates in the Old Covenant, so I never thought that would apply to us in the New Covenant. However, Purim is not an appointed day in the Torah. So although the story is in Esther and certainly applies to the Jews with the attempted genocide of them, this day straddles both Old and New Testaments. My point is that Purim is on a full moon and is an appointed day and certainly applies to all of God's children both Jews and Gentiles. In the book of Esther it even hints at this: Esther 9:12 And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done. 13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows. The New Testament is "tomorrow" and the Old Testament was yesterday.

Bible verses that point to the rapture March 13th/14th (2b)

5. Judges 16:23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.

This is the verse that has always caused me to reject Purim. There is no "great sacrifice unto Dagon" on this day. A month earlier on Valentine's day you do have a Pagan holiday and Catholic holiday, and a month later on Easter you also have a Pagan holiday and Catholic holiday. However, the funeral for a Pope would be a great sacrifice to Dagon and would cause all the prophets of Baal to gather in St. Peter's square. The funeral is 4-6 days after the Pope's death. If he dies after March 7th all the way to March 10th then we should realize this will be the day. Imagine the funeral is being live streamed to the whole world, all the bishops and cardinals are in St. Peter's square and then the rapture takes place and none of them are raptured. The whole world sees they lied to them and deceived them. But a funeral is far more perfect, because even on Easter they would not all be gathered together to St. Peter's Square, this would only take place on a funeral of a Pope.

6. 1 Kings 18:19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.

This is also a picture of the rapture where fire falls from heaven and then the false prophets are all gathered together at the same time and then killed. This is another picture of this great sacrifice to Dagon, but here we see it isn't a pagan holiday or a Catholic holiday, it is God calling them to this feast. That is what happens when God calls someone home, He is the one in charge of when their funeral will be. This is the big sign. I thought that Valentine's day filled a number of these verses and it did, but not this one. The prophets of Baal indicate the leaders of the Catholic church and the prophets of the grove that eat at Jezebel's table, those are the leaders of denominational churches that have been infiltrated by FreeMasons on the board of directors. Elijah slays the prophets of Baal and we know that the Beast will hate the prostitute that rides the beast and slay her. Revelation 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. This is what bothered me about the rapture, it needs to be done in such a way that it is crystal clear to all who the false prophets are. You can't do this during a church service because at any given moment there are 24 hours on earth, so it wouldn't be universally obvious to everyone on Earth. But, if you gather all the leaders of all these churches together in one place and live stream it right at the time of the rapture, well then, we would have a video record showing none of them were raptured and they lied to us. Also consider the great delusion, if they are all caught not being raptured what are they going to say? They will have no choice but to claim only "evil" people were raptured and since infants will also be taken everyone will know that is false and the liars will be exposed. Also, I never understood why the Beast would hate the prostitute (why would the new world order hate Catholics since they are working together). That is not why the Beast hates her, he hates her because she has been exposed as a liar and if he doesn't kill her he will go down with her. Why do mafiosos kill each other? Often it is your closest friend that kills you. Why? If someone makes a mistake that threatens the whole operation they kill them, simple.

7. Joel 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.

The latter rain comes down in the first month. That is Nisan. This is a reference to the revival that will take place, similar to the revival at the time of Pentecost after the Lord's resurrection. This indicates the rapture is before Nisan. The reason I have never liked the Feast of weeks for the rapture is because there are many verses like this that don't fit. My understanding of "no one knows the day" is that it is a puzzle, you have to put all the pieces together, no one puzzle piece has the answer. This verse tells you the revival that takes place after the rapture is in Nisan. Feast of weeks is 9 months before Nisan. That makes no sense. Feast of Weeks is not on a full moon. Yes, the Feast of Weeks does seem to describe a rapture, the waving of the two loaves, but the rapture before the tribulation includes the judgement of the Great Babylon, the whore, and we only see that in Purim and Hanukkah.

8. Mark 11:9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

The only gospel that does not record Palm Sunday is Luke. It appears that Luke is written to those who are raptured before the tribulation. The reason everyone comes out to worship the Lord on this day is because everyone has seen or heard about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Therefore this indicates that the rapture is a few weeks before Palm Sunday, just like Lazarus being raised from the dead was. This explains why it is not in Luke, they were raptured prior to this day. Luke 19:37b the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
Notice that it is His disciples who are rejoicing and praising God. In John it is "much people", in Mark it is "they that followed" and in Matthew it is a great multitude. John is giving us a summary, but the progression is "His disciples" --> "they that followed" --> "great multitude".

9. Zechariah 11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

We know that after the rapture the Antichrist is revealed and that he is the little horn that takes the place of three horns that are cut off. What we don't know is how long after the rapture. According to Revelation 17 it is the ten horns that hate her and eat her flesh and burn her with fire. This verse indicates it is one month after the rapture that the three horns are rooted up and replaced with the little horn. Daniel 7:8I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

To be rooted up means that their currency will collapse. We are told that Nebuchadnezzar which I believer refers to the USA will become a stump but the roots will remain. So the US is not one of the ten horns, but it is also not rooted up. Antichrist is a counterfeit Christ, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey proclaiming peace, Antichrist will be a counterfeit to the man of Peace coming in on a white horse to save everyone after the collapse caused from the rapture. It makes sense that he would appear at Passover. Jesus told Philadelphia they would be kept from the hour of trial and the hour of trial took place during Passover week. So we have many indications the rapture is before Passover, before Nisan, but this verse indicates it is one month before. Since this is a currency collapse and we know that there is a short period of time when the ten kings (BRICS) currency is used only to be replaced by the digital currency called the mark of the beast, I believe that this will be what those three countries being rooted up refers to. Antichrist could never be a world ruler as long as China and Russia survive, so I believe they will be two of the three horns.

The conclusion is very simple, if the Pope dies after March 6th but before March 13th then we should be very alert that the rapture will likely take place at the time of the funeral. This also gives us double meaning to this verse:

John 11:17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

Because the Pope's funeral is four days after he dies.

Click Bait is deceptive

Titus 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

Here are a few examples I am getting from Youtube today: "Europe is done", "Is America's gold really there?", "America in Chaos after Trump's shocking declaration". In every case they sound like something you have to listen to but are very vague. They glitter like a fishing lure, they promise a lot, but can't be tied down to anything.

Now look at the title of this blog: "Summary of Bible references on the Rapture". I intentionally wrote this to be the opposite of click bait, I didn't want anyone clicking on this through deception. If you want to know about the rapture and if you want to see Bible verses, then you would click on this. No promise to tickle ears, no "Warning, judgement is coming" or "God says you must read this". That is bogus, I know there are many, many people who speak for God and no one "must read this" nor would God even say that. Deception is growing exponentially now that we have AI and we have been warned that they are buying up Christian channels so they can be even more deceptive.

Now look at this channel "Prophetic dreams and visions from my lovely Jesus". That is precisely what you will get. If you are not interested in Jesus this channel is not for you. If you are not interested in prophetic dreams and visions this channel is not for you. She is very honest and frank, tells you right up front what you will get and there is no reason for anyone to click on her channel by mistake. If you compare her channel with this blog they are very different. I have shared a few of my dreams, but they are few and far between. That is not my burden, I am focused on the more sure word of God. But this is what I mean that God speaks through many people in many ways.

So then let's look carefully at what she just shared.

1. In all that I do at the start of it I give space for people to repent. -- This is a key principle that has also guided me. I knew that prior to the rapture we should be given a heads up. Lot was warned, Abraham was warned and Noah was warned. Because I knew this it gave me faith that if I held on and did not let go I would also hear those warnings.

2. She describes a river and a lake. -- This is also the vision I have. My thought is that every day we need to drink from the river of the water of life. I knew that many are out there busy, they are working, they don't have time to dig into everything going on, so I wanted this blog to be a place where they could come and get a drink every day.

3. He had known my thoughts once again -- This is a great comfort to me. Most of my prayers are in my thoughts. I have done this for fifty years. This was because of the way in which I was saved, it was as though that salvation had to be kept in secret. But this is also like those in the military. Some are stealthy like a submarine and some are out in the open like an aircraft carrier. She is out in the open, but that is just one of the many ways in which we are different. I have been led by the Lord to go in the path I am in and she has been led to go in the path she is in.

4. Where are we? Somewhere safe so we will not be interrupted. -- I really like that her videos do not get interrupted by ads and that is also what I like about this blog. This is a safe place you can come without being interrupted. Please do not misunderstand what I am about to say. A channel on Youtube that shares about Jesus and has ads does not in and of itself mean the person is a false prophet. However, false prophets will always try to make merchandise of you. Ads, selling books, asking for money, etc. I view it as a red flag. It does not prove they are false, but it does cause me to be much more alert and cautious.

5. "Before I move my hand in judgement I send warnings through my children for all who will listen and obey" -- This is very similar to the first point. For example before the vaccine mandate came out there were many warnings so that when it did come out I was already clear and began the process of resigning in 24 hours. My wife was not clear and waited until the very last day before resigning. But both of us were given space to resign and we both took it. After resigning I knew in my spirit we could no longer stay in NYC and so began the process of selling the house and moving. We received an offer as soon as the house was put on the market, but by the time we closed it was only days before interest rates rose. Had we waited any longer to sell the house we would have been broke. And yet the mockers and scoffers complained that the warnings had come and nothing happened for six months. It takes time to sell your house, pack up and move. God is merciful, He is wise, He is loving, He gives us that time when He warns us.

6. You are willing to sacrifice your time being with me hours at a time, you have proven your faithfulness to come be with me each day regardless of whether I speak with you or give you a dream or vision -- This is such a big point, you can discern those who simply want to be with the Lord each day and let Him take the lead and those who are desperate to have some big revelation or a video that goes viral. The scammers are desperate to predict the future as though that will help their ministry. When I started this blog it was for me. I made it public in case others were interested, but this was for me and it made no difference if anyone else came or not.

7. You have been obedient in sharing these things, not hiding the information even while knowing at times I could change what I have spoken because when my children pray it will cause heaven to respond in one way or another -- Again my speaking is quite different from hers, I do not try to predict the future, but sometimes I will hypothesize on how I think the Bible verses go together. I am applying a scientific approach to my study and making educated guesses is very scientific. I have also been attacked by others who say I have often been wrong. I always ask them to point me to the offending post and in all but one case they couldn't. I did make a mistake when I left the confines of the Bible and referred to someone who was sharing about predictive programming. I repented, confessed, and stick to the Bible. I have continued to share links from a few people who still look at predictive programming, but only if they tie what they are sharing to the word of God. The reason they never actually will quote my posts back to me is because the post makes it clear that I am making an educated guess and not claiming this is a prophetic word from God. She on the other hand claims her dreams and visions are prophetic words from God. Like I said, we are very different in our sharing but in the key scriptural principles we are one.

8. Because you spend time at my feet and I have also learned to trust you to also take time to write it out. -- This reminds me of the start of this dream with the river and the lake. A river passes along all the water it gets. The water simply flows through it. This is how you become a channel for the Lord. Because the Lord knows that the words He speaks to her will be shared with the body He continues to speak to her. We should all have this attitude, not to speak words that would lift us up, but to simply be faithful. to the Lord that He can speak through us to the Body.

9. Not skipping anything like some do because of the length and details that's being shown. -- Yes, I hate this. Too many are superficial with the word. I have come to realize eschatology is very complex. If you do not know the entire Bible you cannot possibly rightly divide the word concerning eschatology. One of my main concerns in starting this blog was to get all the details about the rapture that no one ever shares. Either the messages on this are simple and superficial or else they are focused on "when" even though the Lord made it clear that that would be the most difficult thing to know.

10. Finally she points out that she will often have to wait months or longer before the Lord explains something to her. That also is my experience. These ten points are in contrast to click bait. Click bait is like fast food, people want it quick and easy without any work. If you take that attitude you set yourself up to be deceived.

I have warned you ahead of time. May all who will listen heed this warning.

Discerning between the mockers and scoffers and the real prophets

1 Corinthians 2:7 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Mockers and Scoffers will claim that any prophet warning of impending danger is a chicken little. This will be correct 90% of the time as Black Swan events are very rare. When they are wrong they'll claim "no one could have foreseen this". For example after hurricane Katrina wiped out the 9th Ward in New Orleans George Bush claimed no one could have foreseen this. That was a lie. I had graduated from Rice University in Houston with a degree in Geology. We had professors and guest lecturers that predicted exactly what happened during Katrina and told us this would happen the next time a big hurricane hit New Orleans. I had a coworker who was from New Orleans and told me his father had ten rental properties in New Orleans and he was going to be rich. I told him the next time a big hurricane hits New Orleans those properties will be wiped out. He assumed I didn't like him or had some ulterior motive to say this, but sure enough within a year Katrina hit and his father lost everything.

The best movie about this is "The Big Short". In this movie one of the investors tells Michael Burry that no one can predict a market crash and Burry says that is foolish there are always signs. That illustrated a key point that all three investors spotlighted in this movie all believed it. They all had different strategies. Michael Burry saw historical signs and trends of a bubble in the real estate market, ignored conventional wisdom that real estate never goes down, and read through the most boring and tedious documents known to man. The second group a hedge fund operating on the principle that people are corrupt and lie. This is contrary to those who simply assume everything is working the way it is supposed to. The third group were operating out of their garage and based their philosophy on the principle that people don't want to think about negative things happening. As a result they underestimate risk.

So then we can look at history and go through documents with a fine tooth comb. That is the opposite of the lazy approach that simply follows conventional wisdom. We can also develop a nose for lies and BS. That hedge fund did their own research, they went to look at the properties, they went to talk to the people who sell the houses. The third group did a little of both, they did some research after Burry discovered the bubble, and they visited the people making the trades.

Now something was very interesting, the market stopped behaving properly. When underlying securities to the derivatives went bankrupt you would assume the rating on those derivatives would reflect that and yet they didn't. Likewise when the derivatives did not lose any of their triple A rating you would have expected they would have remained priced the same but they weren't. They were priced as though they had lost the rating even though they hadn't. The ratings were a lie and unless you did your own research you would have been deceived by those ratings.

This all applies to looking at prophecies. We have gone 2,000 years without the Day of the Lord coming. Therefore the mockers and scoffers have been right and those who became alarmed when some prophecies were fulfilled like Israel returning to the good land were characterized as "Chicken littles". But they weren't wrong, they were simply not well versed in all the prophecies concerning the Day of the Lord. Since that day many more prophecies have been fulfilled, again the watchmen raising the alarm were not wrong, they simply did not know the word well enough to make an accurate interpretation of what they were seeing.

Proverbs 22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

The three who were highlighted in the movie The Big Short were all diligent in their business and they all stood before kings. Meanwhile scammers like Bernie Maddof were exposed as well as superficial investors.

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Three types and shadows of the rapture

Any type and shadow is like a two dimensional representation of something that is four dimensional. However, if we take two different pictures of the rapture they are both pictures of the same event from different angles, that will give us a third dimension. If we take three pictures of the rapture that will give us four dimensions.

1. Samson, the strong man, is deceived by Delilah, his head is shaved indicating his nazarite vow has been broken, his eyes are put out indicating he was deceived, he is then taken into the temple to Baal on a great sacrifice to Dagon, and here he pushes out the pillars causing the temple to collapse killing himself along with all the evil people worshipping idols.

This is a picture of the rapture. Samson depicts the Lord as the Strong man. However, the Strong man is not the expression of Jesus that Philadelphia or Smyrna have, the two churches depicting the dead in Christ and those who are alive at His coming who are raptured. The Strong man is the expression we see in Thyatira and also Sardis. So Samson's death depicts what happens to those in the apostate churches, but the ones who are genuine believers. Delilah would depict the deep state that deceives the populist movement that is "Christian" but breaks their vow when they get involved with Politics. The Bible tells us that it is not by might nor by power, yet these believers think that it is by might and power they can bring in the kingdom. Based on this being during a sacrifice to Dagon we need to know more about Dagon. The hat that the priests to Dagon wear is the same hat that the Pope wears. As a result I looked at key pagan holidays that align with Catholic holidays.

2. Ahab and Jezebel are trying to destroy Elijah but can't, he then tells them that God has called for a great sacrifice on a mountain. They are to call 400 prophets of Baal and 450 prophets that sit at Jezebel's table to this sacrifice. They are unable to call down fire then Elijah remakes the altar, swamps it with water, and the fire falls. After the fire falls they take the 400 prophets of Baal and kill them.

This is the same event but from a different angle and we learn a lot. First, it is not simply the Catholic leaders who are at this event. I would compare the Catholic leaders (Bishops, Cardinals, etc) to the prophets of Baal. Jezebel is involved in Witchcraft, so to sit at her table means you are getting fed from FreeMasons. The Freemasons are now on the board of directors of all the major denominations. So I liken these 450 prophets to religious leaders in the major denominations. Now this changes the whole story. A pagan holiday that the Catholics also keep could be Christmas. But you would never have all the Bishops and Cardinals of the Catholic church and also of the denominations all gathered together in one temple to Baal, let's say St. Peter's Square, on Christmas. They would all be in their own churches. Also, according to this story it isn't a pagan holiday nor is it a Catholic holiday. Elijah tells them God is calling them all together. This is an event that God calls. Also it explains something else too, all of Israel is watching this event. This will be some big event, a sacrifice to Dagon, so it will be a Catholic event, that God calls, and that religious leaders from all over the world will attend. That means it is not a major religious holiday like Christmas or Easter. Also this event is seen by all of Israel, so it is televised. We are not talking about some ecumenical conference. No, the death of a Pope would be an event where you might see this take place.

3. Before the hour of trial Jesus goes to Bethany and raises Lazarus from the dead. This event is what sparks all of the believers to be rejoicing saying Hosanna to the Lord a few weeks later. When Jesus arrives in Bethany Lazarus has been in the grave for four days.

This is quite interesting and the four days are very significant. To the Lord one day is as a thousand years. Four thousand years ago we had Abraham, the father of faith. We are all children of Abraham, children of faith. Over those four thousand years many faithful servants have died and the Lord will go to raise them up. Had Jesus come at the time of Abraham they would not have died, however, because He has waited and come when He does we can know Him as the Resurrection and the Life. That is one side of the coin, the other side of the coin is that four days after a Pope goes in the grave they hold the funeral. A death is known as "God calling you home". So a funeral is a big sacrifice that God calls, and if it is the funeral of a Pope then it is a big sacrifice to Dagon. The Pope does not depict Lazarus, just like the story with Elijah there are two bulls sacrificed, those who are of faith belong to Elijah and those who are of idolatry belong to the prophets of Baal. But this confuses people just as was the case with Elijah and God calls this sacrifice to clear up that confusion. When everyone sees the rapture then they are clear who was telling the truth and who was lying. In both the story with Elijah, and with the story with Samson the false idol worshippers all die and are destroyed. It is essential that this event be seen by the whole world so that they see that the Catholic Church religious leaders and Denominational religious leaders are false. In the story of Lazarus they decide they must crucify Jesus because if they don't the whole world will follow Him. The lies and deceit no longer work, this is what provokes the tribulation and persecution of the believers.

The Secret of Purim Hidden in the Heavens.

In John Chapter 5 it says it took place during a feast of the Jews, but doesn't name the feast. In chapter 6 it tells us "after these things the Feast of Passover was nigh". This is the only unnamed feast of the Jews that is in John and it is right before Passover, so we know it is Purim.

During this feast the impotent man is told to rise and walk. This man has been relying on others his whole life but the Lord tells him to stop doing that and pick up his bed and walk on his own. Afterward the Lord finds him in the temple and tells him to "sin no more". Relying on false prophets to give you a phony gospel of salvation when you know it is false, that is a sin. The Lord tells us He is working with the Father, that God is His Father, that He can do nothing of his own, and that the dead shall hear the voice of the Lord and live and that all judgment has been given to Him and the proof of this is that those in the graves will hear His voice and rise. That is the church age in a nutshell concluding with the rapture. He then talks about the witnesses concerning Him that confirm He is the Lord.

John 5 tells us that the rapture is during Purim (1)

You cannot build a doctrine based on shadows and types, it must be base on the black and white word. So then although the types and shadows point to a rapture before Nisan 1, on a full moon, and four days after the death of a Pope, those are only shadows. We need a clear word from the New Testament.

John 5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

This is the feast of Purim because in Chapter 6 it says "after this the Passover was nigh". Purim is a feast that clearly straddles both Old and New Testaments. Yes the story of Esther is in the Old Testament, but Purim is not in the Torah, the feast is mentioned in both Old and New Testaments and in Esther she talks about killing Haman and his sons both today and tomorrow.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

There are seven churches, and they are like porches, but here it talks of five. I would suggest that this is only referring to five churches and excludes Smyrna and Philadelphia. The two churches that signify the dead in Christ that rise along with those who are alive and are raptured prior to the seven year tribulation.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

This is why I am excluding the other two churches, the members in those churches were not waiting for the moving of the water. Jesus has already given us a commission and they were acting on that.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

This is describing so many in Christianity waiting for revival.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

Surely this is no coincidence. After rejecting the two witnesses in the wilderness Israel had to wander for another 38 years as they had already spent two years in the wilderness. Once again, this is why I feel this represents the left behind after the rapture.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

This also is a symptom of those in the apostate churches. They depend on a man. Jesus said "no stone upon another will not be thrown down". Believers are living stones, your faith should be standing on the rock, on Jesus. But in Christianity too many have their faith resting on another man. They depend on someone else to bring the word of God. Jesus talked about foolish virgins who did not have their vessels filled with oil. We need to have our own experiences of the Lord, not depend on someone else or base our testimony on someone else's testimony.

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

What each of us needs is a word from the Lord to us. In my case the word is in Colossians 2 -- All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Him. Since receiving that word I have built up my faith that regardless what the issue is all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Jesus. That is why I knew if I dug long enough I would be able to find out all the treasures concerning the rapture.

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

You aren't supposed to do any work on the Sabbath and you aren't supposed to be date setting with the rapture. Hmmm.

10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

Yep, and the Christians have said to me it is not lawful to be date setting concerning the rapture.

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

The revelation that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him was not some doctrine, it was a treasure map for me to go and find treasure.

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? 13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. 14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

Listening to phony men of God tell you what you can and cannot do is sin. If you know they are twisting the word of God and teaching their opinions as doctrines, well that is heresy. If they are usurping the Lord's authority, that is damnable heresy or sin. There are many times people have told me that no one knows the answer to my questions and it is impossible to get the answers, but I simply ignore them because the Bible has told me differently. I know that all the treasures of knowledge are hidden in Him, so even though no one else knows the answer, Jesus does, and He is the incarnate word of God.

15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

There you go, I have now shared my secret, the core of my faith in Jesus.

16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

This is what the church age has been, men of faith being persecuted for their faith in Jesus which contradicts the religious doctrines of men.

17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

This also is a picture of the church age, we are servants of God, coworkers, building the house of God. That is what we have been doing for the last two thousand years.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Why is it that Evangelical Christians are hated? It is because we claim that Jesus is the only way to the Father.

19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

Do you want to know what has everyone paralyzed? They want some big, miraculous salvation experience. Do not despise the day of small things, because the biggest miracle is when the Lord gives you a new heart.

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

People want to share a testimony that will make men marvel. Fine, but it all begins with loving Jesus. Love Jesus, let Him show you the things that He is doing and He will lead you and eventually He'll show you greater works than these. The Christian life is one step at a time.

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

This is the testimony that we really need, how we were dead in trespasses and sins and that one word from the Lord gave us life and raised us up.

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

This is the key lesson that all believers need to learn, Jesus is Lord.

John 5 tells us that the rapture is during Purim (2)

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

This is our goal, to believe on Jesus Christ in all things. You need to develop your hearing so that when He speaks you respond.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

This is where the church age is heading, the rapture. It is no coincidence that Jesus says this on Purim and John records Jesus saying this on Purim. Every gospel has a specific agenda. Luke is written to those who are raptured prior to the seven year tribulation, Mark to those who are left behind and Matthew to the Jews who are saved as a nation at the end of the seven years. The verse that "no one knows the day or the hour" is not in Luke, it is only in Mark and Matthew. So even if you want to say it refers to the rapture, it does not refer to the rapture prior to the seven year tribulation. Besides there is another verse that God does nothing without telling His prophets, and many other similar verses that contradict the common doctrine in Christianity.

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

God's goal from the beginning was to give man dominion over all things and that includes death. Obviously God can raise the dead, but He wants a man to have this faith so that God and Man can work together through faith. Jesus is the son of man, so He can fulfill this goal of God's.

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Here we are talking about the final judgment, the Great White throne.

30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. 31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

We are the Lord's witnesses. Our testimony is a witness of the Lord.

33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

During the tribulation we will have the two witnesses operating in the spirit of Elijah.

34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. 35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

But for the Jews they will get saved after the two witnesses are killed.

36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

All of these amazing prophecies in the Bible that are being fulfilled, that is an even greater witness.

37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

We have a promise that God will send people and not only so but we will be given the choice to receive their testimony or not. So you don't have to seek these ones out, God will send them to you.

39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

The Bible, especially prophecies being fulfilled testify of Jesus Christ that He is Lord of all.

40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

At the very end of the church age, at the end of the 70th week of Daniel we will be left with those who absolutely refuse to come to the Lord.

41 I receive not honour from men.

That is why they won't, because they receive honor from men and if they receive Jesus they will have to give up that honor.

42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

This is how you know they have not the love of God. If you loved God then receiving honor from God would be your foremost concern and losing the honor of man would be trivial. This is why they won't receive one who comes in the name of the Father and they will receive one who comes in his own name. They want that same honor that this person has. That is what they love.

44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

We receive honor from God because we pay a price to follow the Lord. These ones are refusing to pay any price so of course there will not be any honor from God.

45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

Think about Moses' testimony -- Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

What does this have to do with Purim? Purim is not just about Mordecai and Esther being raised up and receiving honor (the rapture). Nor is it just about the Jews learning they will need to fight for their life and their faith against those attempting to slaughter them in a genocide (the tribulation saints). No, it is also about discerning the phony ones like Haman and his sons (those who will be condemned to hell).

Once Saved Always Saved in light of the Bible

Mark 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

OSAS emphasizes eternal salvation from hell and damnation. OK, but what about being able to stand before the Lord and He is ashamed of you. Doesn't that concern you too?

Mark Of The Beast Vision 2-28-25@ 8:07 PM Shared 3-1-25


She gives you a picture of what the mark of the beast looks like and refers to it as apotheosis which means people will be "elevated to god status" so that infers that you will be connected to AI with this. If you take this mark you will not be able to be saved.

"I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation"

Amos 8:3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.

Amos 8:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

This verse has made me think this was referring to Christmas songs. But if you look at verse three it is clear it is talking about songs of the temple.

Esther 9:17 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness. 18 But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

If we look at the celebration of Purim this could very likely be referring to Purim. The point I'm making is that it fits. By itself it would not seal the deal for me. However the three types and shadows (Samson pushing out the pillars on a great sacrifice to Dagon, Elijah calling down fire when 400 prophets of Baal and 450 prophets that eat at Jezebel's table are all assembled after having been called there by God, and Lazarus having been in the grave for four days), those three very clearly point to a big event with the Catholic church, and the only thing that I can think of that would bring all those people together and fit the bill would be the funeral of a Pope. Then we have John 5, talking about Purim and Jesus saying on that day He will speak and the dead will come up out of the grave. We also know that the rapture causes a great revival known as the latter rain and the latter rain is in Nisan.

Now if you know all that and then consider the prophecy of the Popes by Saint Malachi that corroborates this interpretation of the Bible.

This is Life Eternal

John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Every one of us has this inner sense that there is some secret we need to know. This is why some people are gossips, this is why some people spend hours a day listening to the news. But suppose you learn about some scandal, so what? Suppose you learn about troop movements, or a short squeeze on gold, etc. So what?

We have this saying that "knowledge is power" and that "Data is the new oil". OK, having better information can help you do better investing and in business. But again, so what? In 20 or 30 or even 50 years you will be dead. What then?

No, the reason we are created with this need to know hidden secrets and mysteries is because knowing the only true God, that is eternal life.

For example, consider this blog, there are many people who want to know when the rapture will be. But so what? Which is more important, to know when the rapture is but when it takes place you are left behind, or to know the only true God and when the rapture takes place it is a surprise, but you are taken?

The Son of Man vs the Son of Perdition

John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

Those two titles have always made me wonder. Jesus makes it clear to all the demons that He is "the son of Man". They knew He was God and as God He could cast them out and send them bound and in chains to the pit. But His claim was that He was the Son of Man, because that had been the entire battle between Satan and God over man. Satan had corrupted man with sin and thought that he could thwart God's plan to have him replaced. But Jesus was making it clear, nope, here is a man that is not corrupted and can take you down. In a boxing match there is a weight limit, you have to fall within that limit to be able to have the fight. If Jesus was God well, that is not a fair fight. But if Jesus is man that was created a little lower than the angels, that is a fair fight.

Now then, what about "the son of perdition". The first time we see this word in the New Testament it is Matthew 7:13 broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, G684"

Whatsoever you sow, that will you also reap. So Judas has grown up as seeds sown to destruction, from those that took the broad way that leads to this destruction. To become a son there is a process, you must grow and mature. He was not trained to be a "son of perdition" by Jesus, and he was in Jesus' ministry for three and a half years. Imagine that, he was simply playing a role, an actor for those three and a half years. He was raised and trained from youth to be a hypocrite, an actor. Nothing is real, everything is a lie, the only purpose in life is to get 30 pieces of silver by hook or by crook.

If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

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?

Many times I have been accused of saying all sorts of things. That is why everything is in writing, published and easy to search. My response is always the same -- show me the offensive post. Because what people think I have said is not what I said and when they pull up the post that becomes clear. So no one ever bears witness of the evil. But know this, if you are like this person here you are like one of the officers that stand by the High Priest. I can understand someone wanting to be like Paul or John or James of even Peter. But who in their right mind wants to be like this officer?

I should bear witness unto the truth

John 18:37b To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Many times I hear those who encourage others to preach the gospel to lead two people to the Lord this week or this month. I have never seen that verse, but I have seen this verse. Our mission is to bear witness unto the truth. We do not need to worry about who will receive it and who won't. Every one that is of the truth will receive it, and those who are sons of perdition won't. That is fine. Before anyone is to be judged they must have been presented with the truth and then have rejected it. So either way, whether someone receives the truth or rejects it the word is operating and effective.

For example, once a month I go to a food give away and help preach the gospel and distribute Bibles. There are anywhere from three to six brothers who go. On average we speak to 750 cars and will usually hand out about 500 Bibles (there can be three or four people in a car that each get a bible). Some people say they are Christians and have a Bible already, but our witness encourages them. Some won't even open their window but tell us they are not interested, that is fine, God promised to send someone to them, He did, and they rejected them. Others receive the word. My point is I don't count how effective our speaking is by how many Bibles we hand out, but rather how many people we spoke to. Every single person we speak to fulfills our responsibility that we are to bear witness unto the truth.
