What a perfect time to have the rapture and expose these phony baloney prophets.

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 in 1 Kings 18 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 aligned with a number of the prophecies 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. We are told in the Bible that Matthew 24:24 there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. We also know that the followers of the Lord are likened to sheep, not exactly the smartest animals on the planet. So then, Jesus as the Good Shepherd needs to do something so the sheep are very clear who is trying to deceive them. This is what Elijah is doing in 1 Kings 18. He knows the prophets of Baal have been deceiving them so God tells him to do this sacrifice so all will know who is true and who is false. I thought maybe the Lord will rapture us during a church service and then you will see some church parking lots are full of cars afterwards and some aren't. That would be like a testimony of who got raptured and who didn't. But, 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 prophets of Baal and prophets of the grove 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. 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, this would explain 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? Why does Michael Corleone kill Fredo? Often it is your closest friend that kills you. Why? If someone makes a mistake that threatens the whole operation they kill them, simple.

So if we look at Samson pushing out the pillars it is at a great sacrifice to Dagon. If we look at fire falling from the heavens we see that at this great sacrifice you have all the prophets assembled of both Baal and the prophets of the grove, the ones who eat at Jezebel's table. Initially I thought if it is a sacrifice to Dagon then it is a pagan Holiday. But you would never have all the phony religious prophets assembled at one place on Christmas or Easter because they have their own services to take care of. We also learn that it is God that calls this gathering together, not Dagon or some other pagan god. Then it hit me, if you have the death of a Pope, at the funeral all the religious leaders from around the globe will be invited and the funeral will be held in St. Peter's Square and it will be live streamed for the whole world to see! What a perfect time to have the rapture and expose these phony baloney prophets.

Isn't that what we see on Purim, the phony Haman and his sons impaled for all to see?

What is the Gospel (3)

1 Corinthians 15:11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

We have learned that you never know what testimony or what verse or what message will be the one that causes someone to turn to the Lord. There is no such thing as "the perfect testimony". I would avoid any effort to have a canned gospel message despite many doing that. But that is just me, there are others who basically speak the same thing a hundred times over and bring many to the Lord. It could be any verse, it can be any testimony, the basic principle is that it is by the testimony of two or three witnesses that a matter is established.

12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

You can't take part of the witnesses testimony and argue that the other part is not real. Either a witness is telling the truth or not. In a courtroom if you feel part of the testimony was not true you would disregard all of their testimony. Yet, the witness of those that brought you to the Lord and me to the Lord have all said the same thing, Jesus rose from the dead.

13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

Everything hinges on Jesus rising from the dead. If you want to boil it all down you can say that is the gospel, Jesus rose from the dead. But obviously we have a lot more questions. Was he a man? Was He God? Is He now sitting on the throne? Does He hear our prayers? What would cause Him to not hear our prayers? Every word in the New Testament is relevant to us only because Jesus rose from the dead. If He didn't rise from the dead He is simply a Jewish person who was unjustly killed two thousand years ago. But if He rose from the dead that was God declaring this is His Son, that is powerful. This is God declaring that this is a man who is worthy to open the document with seven seals, the title deed to the Earth.

15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

Not only is the Bible no longer relevant if Jesus did not rise from the dead but all the writers of the New Testament are liars, false witnesses. This would make the New Testament the greatest scam in all of human history. Not only so but the most bizarre scam in all of human history. In other scams the flim flam men do it for money. But here the apostles were treated horribly, they were stoned, excommunicated, imprisoned, beaten and killed. I can understand one mentally unstable person doing that, but hundreds? At this point you have millions all with the same witness.

16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

Also if all that is a lie then so is the fact that Jesus blood cleanses us from all sin and the fact that Jesus paid the price for our sins that we could be redeemed. Preaching that the dead will be raised in the rapture is not a small, strange teaching. Without this doctrine the entire Christian faith sinks like a shipwreck.

18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

But it gets worse, Christians are of all men the most miserable. There is nothing more miserable than believing a lie, being deceived and losing everything. So ask yourself, are Christians of all men most miserable? Are gangsters and drug dealers and serial killers the ones who are filled with joy? If the New Testament is a lie then you would think those that reject the New Testament would be the happiest.

20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

The peace you feel when Jesus has forgiven your sins, the joy you are filled with when worshipping Jesus, these are proofs that Christ is risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that have died.

VISION-- THE SHOW HAS BEGUN

VISION: Today while in prayer, I heard the Lord speak these words to me, "The show has begun." I was then given a vision where I found myself standing beside a huge circus tent. As I started walking towards the open doorway, I heard a carnival barker who was shouting loudly through a megaphone. He was standing beside the tent and shouting out, "Ladies and Gentlemen! Come one! Come all! Get your seats now to the greatest show on earth!" I then found myself standing inside the giant tent. As the last few people entered in, I looked around and noticed that there wasn't an empty seat in the house. All the seats were now filled. I looked towards the center of the tent and observed three rings - a large ring in the center with two smaller rings on each side. In the small ring on the left side, there were a dozen or so clowns all jumping, dancing, and hopping around, doing silly things and keeping the crowd amused and laughing. In the small ring on the right side, there were animal acts - a bear riding a red bicycle around in circles, a large leopard-type cat jumping on various sized crates, and a large, colorful parrot who was squawking out all manner of vulgarities and curse words. In the large, main center ring was a man who appeared to be a ring master, dressed in a very nice tuxedo with a top hat on his head. I observed this man walk over to a very ornate desk in the center of the ring and take a seat behind the desk. He then pulled a book out of his jacket and began to read it out loud to the crowd. On the desk was a computer with three monitors arranged in a semi-circle around the computer. The ring master seemed to get very upset while reading the book, and he then started angrily ripping pages out of it and setting them on fire. With that, the clowns noticed the fire and came running over to put out the fire with a water hose. But instead of water coming out of the hose, gasoline came pouring out, and the fire grew worse. Then the bear from the ring on the right quickly ran over and knocked the book out of the ring master's hand. The book hit the floor, landing with the cover facing up so I could see the title that was written on it. The title of the book was The Constitution of the United States of America. All of the people in the audience clapped, laughed, and cheered, thinking it was all part of the show. My attention was then drawn to the monitors that were on the desk. I noticed one monitor showing scenes of war. Another one displaying bombs exploding and fires burning. And on the third one, there were people running for their lives from all the destruction that was happening. The ring master got up from the chair very slowly and grabbed one of the baseball bats that had been left by one of the clowns. He then struck each monitor with the bat, destroying them one by one. All three rings were full of activity, keeping all of the people mesmerized. Things were happening so fast that nobody knew what was coming next. THEN THE WHOLE TENT WENT COMPLETELY BLACK. Suddenly, a blinding light exploded through the darkness from above, filling the whole tent with a solid beam of light coming down from the center top of the tent. The beam of light hit the floor, and a form suddenly appeared. It looked like a man, about ten feet tall, with outstretched wings extending at least 10 feet on each side. This being was a mighty angel, fully clad in heavenly armor, glowing, glistening, reflecting, and radiating light in all directions. As the light from him hit the faces of the people in the audience, I saw fear and shock on each and every face. The mighty angel held a giant sword in his right hand, pointing it straight upwards towards the top of the tent. Then he spoke with a loud, booming voice, declaring: "WITH THE POWER AND AUTHORITY OF JESUS THE CHRIST - I TELL YOU NOW - THE SHOW HAS BEGUN!!!!" Then, just as suddenly, he was gone, and all was dark again. The vision ended.

We can see the 12 apostles in the cell structure

Within the cytoplasm, the major organelles and cellular structures include: (1) nucleolus (2) nucleus (3) ribosome (4) vesicle (5) rough endoplasmic reticulum (6) Golgi apparatus (7) cytoskeleton (8) smooth endoplasmic reticulum (9) mitochondria (10) vacuole (11) cytosol (12) lysosome (13) centriole.

We have 13 major organelles, but the nucleus would depict the word of God or Jesus, the Lord, who is the incarnated word of God and comes to dwell within us. Likewise the Human body has 11 organ systems, however, one of those organ systems has two versions, male and female reproductive systems. So that can be seen as 12 organ systems 11a and 11b.

Colossians 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

This bothered me, the resurrection was seen of the 12, those are the 12 apostles. Then it was seen of all the apostles? What does that mean. There is a big debate, do we still have apostles yes or no? Well we definitely don't have anything to add to the New Testament. However, not all 12 apostles wrote books in the New Testament and some of the books in the New Testament are written by those who weren't apostles. I think it is clear here that Paul is not limiting apostles to the twelve, nor is it the fact that he was an apostle the reason because he lists himself separately. So then, I think I look at the human body as a shadow of the Body of Christ.

Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

So think of the twelve apostles as the twelve organ systems in the Body of Christ. Are there twelve? Yes. Were all twelve established at the time of the early church? Yes. Is the word of God set? Yes, the word of God would be likened to our DNA, that was set from the beginning. However, each one of us, as a member of this body, is functioning in one of these twelve apostolic functions. Now just like the human body, the last organ system to develop is the lungs. Perhaps that is a shadow of the apostolic system of Paul.

Stephen gives us an overview of what has been and what will be

Acts 7:35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.

Moses is a type of Jesus. Stephen is clearly comparing Moses to Jesus and so that is how we should understand this. They history that has been is the history that will be.

36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

I found this very interesting. When they accused Jesus of casting out Demons by Beelzebub Jesus said they had committed the unforgivable sin. That was likely 30 AD on the 9th of Av because beginning in 30 AD temple records show that God did not receive the atoning sacrifice. At this time the Jewish leaders asked for a sign that proved they had been judged by God. Jesus told them the only sign they would get would be the sign of Jonah. In that sign Jonah preached to Nineveh to repent for in 40 days the city would be overthrown. However, God did relent because they did repent. The Jewish leaders did not repent and stoning Stephen is simply more confirmation of that. 40 years later to the day the temple was destroyed in 70 AD.

However, it is very likely that Jesus was crucified in 32 AD. Pentecost would have been the 8th of Av in 32 AD. That was when they could have entered the Good land, but again they were obstinate and so they had to wander around another 38 years until all their carcasses were strewn in the wilderness.

37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

The charge against Stephen was he was trying to change the customs of Moses, yet Moses told them that they were to hear Jesus.

38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

The church age should be viewed as the two years that Israel was in the wilderness. We are in the wilderness for 2,000 years. But that would be until 30 AD, after that, the next two years to Armageddon you only get the eternal gospel.

39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, 40 Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

Here we see the apostasy.

41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

Here is the prosperity gospel.

42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?

Here we see pagan worship infiltrate the church.

43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Moloch demanded child sacrifice. The tent of Moloch would refer to an abortion clinic. The star of the god Remphan is where the star that goes on top of a Christmas tree is from. Many Christians think it represents the star that the wise men saw when Jesus was born. If that is what you think it simply means you don't know the deep things of Satan. This star refers to Saturn which refers to Satan. This is known as the blazing star by the FreeMasons or as the Pentagram. It is a satanic symbol. Many large denominational churches now have FreeMasons on the board of directors. They will fund multimillion dollar buildings, expensive sounds systems and all the rest. They generally don't tell the pastor what to speak, rather they tell them what not to speak. They don't want him to talk about prophecy or the Antichrist and they want him to focus on telling people things that will fill the church service. Focus on increase, fun activities, and avoid convicting people for sin.

44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.

We have the New Testament and it gives us very specific guidance on church services, the functions in the church, how to shepherd, etc.

45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David; 46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

David is also a type of Jesus in His earthly ministry. Jesus said "I will build my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it".

47 But Solomon built him an house.


Solomon is a shadow of Jesus heavenly ministry during the church age. Paul said that he was a wise master builder and that he was laying the foundation of this building.

48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? 50 Hath not my hand made all these things?

The church is the Body of Christ. We are being built by every joint of supply and being held together by the bands.

51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

He is referring back to what Moses said. He told them that Jesus would come and they were to hear him but they have refused.

52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: 53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

During the rapture the dead in Christ will rise, that will be all the prophets that were persecuted and slain from Abraham to the end of this age.

54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

I view Acts as a foreshadow of the tribulation and Stephen as an example of the tribulation saints who will be martyred. Jesus said some would be cast out into outer darkness where there would be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Here is an example of the gnashing of teeth.

55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

This will also take place during the tribulation when Jesus returns in glory to rescue Israel.

57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

This also takes place at the time of Armageddon.

John the Baptist and the rapture

My understanding of the three synoptic gospels is that they can be viewed as being directed towards three groups: Luke is to those raptured prior to the tribulation, Mark to the Left behind saints and Matthew to the salvation of the Jews as a nation at the end of the tribulation. This can be seen quite clearly in the three different accounts of John baptizing people.

In Luke a multitude comes to John to be baptized and then Jesus was also baptized at the same time as all the people.

In Mark Jesus is baptized in the past, and all the people from Judea and Jerusalem come out to him to be baptized in the present. Luke says nothing about Judea and Jerusalem.

In Matthew it talks about all the people from Judea, Jerusalem and round about Jordan have gone out to him in the past and now Jesus is being baptized.

So then Multitude of people --> Jesus --> Judea and Jerusalem --> Jesus --> Judea, Jerusalem and round about Jordan -- > Jesus. I think in each case the baptism of Jesus depicts a rapture. In Mark and Matthew Jesus is thrust out into the wilderness immediately after the baptism whereas in Luke His fasting is mentioned in a later chapter after going through his genealogy going back to Adam.

In both Mark and Matthew it describes John wearing Camel's hair and eating locusts. Luke does not mention either of these things. I think Luke is referring to everyone who has been baptized during the church age, hence different people wearing different clothes. But Mark and Luke are referring to a specific person during the tribulation.

In both Mark and Luke Jesus comes from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized. Luke does not say where He came from again being more general as people are baptized all over the world during the church age.

Only in Luke does it say "every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked shall be made straight and the rough ways shall be made smooth". Again, I think that refers to all the work done in the church age to translate the Bible, to create Young's concordance and Strong's concordance, to make word studies like Vine's, to do verse by verse commentaries, and to create tools like the Blue Letter Bible and Biblegateway. That is all done prior to the tribulation so Mark and Matthew do not mention this.

But that was to show how the following verse is a reference to the rapture. Only in Luke does it say "and all flesh shall see the salvation of God". I believe this refers to the rapture and so Mark's gospel begins where that is in the past and that is why great multitudes are now going out from Jerusalem and Judea to be baptized. But the tribulation saints flee into the wilderness to fast and pray before you even get those from around Jordan. Matthew is looking at this event as having happened a few years ago and so they include those from around Jordan who went to be baptized. For them, they flee when the idol from Antichrist is placed in the Holy place at the middle of the tribulation.

So then, this makes it clear everyone on earth will see the rapture. But we have shown from several of the various types and shadows that the rapture and judgment on the apostasy takes place at the same time. For example, "all flesh shall see the salvation of the Lord" would include all those in the temple of Baal celebrating when Samson pushes out the two pillars, pulling the rug out from under their idol worship. Likewise when fire falls from heaven everyone has been gathered together to see this event. This supports my assertion that the great sacrifice to Dagon where 400 prophets from one faith and 450 prophets from a similar but distinct second faith are all in attendance, that this event will be live streamed to the whole earth.

The Bible tells us what year Jesus was crucified.

This is a debate that I have left to others. I figure there are dates that we know of for example the temple was destroyed in 70 AD on the 9th of Av and the temple records show that as of 30 AD God stopped accepting the atoning sacrifice. We also know that the prophecy of Israel being reborn as a nation in a single day took place in 1948. I believe that using those dates I can use the New Testament and Old Testament to know the year of His crucifixion. I like to base my interpretations on the Bible and I'll explain how I have done that to conclude the year of the crucifixion.

However, I made one mistake which was to base part of this interpretation on traditional teachings in Christianity. So whereas before I thought that 31 AD is the year, I feel the scriptural basis for 32 AD is much more rock solid.

What caused me to reevaluate my calculation was Vicky Goforth Parnell saying that Jesus was crucified in 32 AD and that you have to use the Julian calendar, not the Gregorian calendar to determine when the days of the week were since that was what was being used at the time. She also lined up her calculations with the word of God as well.

So here is how I calculate it.

1. People went to the Jewish leaders to ask if Jesus was the Messiah and they came back with an official declaration that He wasn't and that He was casting out demons by Beelzebub, the prince of the demons. That is recorded in the gospels and is also recorded in documents held at the Vatican. Jesus said as a result they had committed the unforgivable sin. I believe this must have taken place in 30 AD on the 9th of Av because beginning in that year the Atoning sacrifice was not accepted by God anymore. That also is recorded in temple documents held by the Vatican.

2. The leaders wanted a sign from Jesus when He said they had committed the unforgivable sin and He said the sign they would be given was the sign of Jonah. This sign involves Jonah being in the grave for three days and then rising again. OK, that is definitely part of this sign. But the other part is that Jonah preached to Nineveh that in forty days they would be overthrown. Nineveh repented and so God relented. But the Jewish leaders never repented, on the contrary in John Jesus told them that because they say they can see their sin remains. So then, if Jesus told them this in 30 AD on the 9th of Av it was exactly 40 years to the day when the temple was cast down without one stone upon another remaining.

3. But then I made two mistakes, I accepted traditional Christianity doctrine that Jesus told the Jewish leaders this six months before the crucifixion and I listened to someone else who was using the Gregorian calendar to line up the days of the crucifixion with 31 AD. If you use the Julian calendar they line up with 32 AD and there are records of two earthquakes (a big one and an aftershock) at the time of the crucifixion in 32 AD as well as a blood moon on Passover (all these things are recorded in the Bible, it is irresponsible for anyone to ignore these events). Then it hit me, Israel was in the wilderness for two years before they were given a chance to enter the good land. Pentecost, on the 8th of Av was their opportunity to listen to the spies who had spied out the good land for the last forty days (since Jesus ascended to the throne). If Jesus proclaimed the unforgivable sin in 30 AD, spent the next two years leading the followers out of corrupt Judaism, and then in 32 AD the spies gave a good report on Pentecost, that would fit the model in the Bible to a tee. The Jewish leaders rejected this, causing their carcasses to be strewn about for the next 38 years until 70 AD.

Now this is significant because 2,000 years from 32 AD is 2032. I believe the Jews will be revived in 2028 and lifted up in 2032 (that is Hosea 6). According to this calculation Armageddon will be the summer of 2032 and on the 15th of Av Israel will be able to see that the curse is over. 7 1/2 years earlier we should see the rapture.

Now we know Jesus as King David, reigns in Hebron (heaven) for 7 1/2 years. Then he will come to Jerusalem to set up His millennial reign. Well, He will come on Feast of trumpets, that is when the trumpets announce the coming of the King.

We also know that the rapture is on a full moon and the curse ends on a full moon. For the Jews the curse ends on the 15th of Av, which is a full moon. So, if we calculate 7 1/2 years using the moon we are talking about 90 full moons. That takes us to June 23, 2032. However during this seven year period you will have a leap year which means you add one full moon. That takes us to July 22, 2032 which is the 15th of Av. My mistake had been to use algorithms on the computer to calculate these dates rather than just count it out for myself. Because the Jews rejected the report from the spies on Pentecost their curse will not end until the full moon on the 15th of Av.

This is all based on the Bible. I sympathize with anyone who is burnt out with all this debate on this issue, but you should be able to understand why Satan is trying so hard to change the dates, God is precise, He tells you the end from the beginning and Satan does not want the body of Christ to know these dates.

The 3 Days of Darkness Noon Time Revealed Dream 3-2-25@12-01 AM Shared 3-5-25 Live


Purim is a national day of deliverance, isn't that what the rapture is?

Purim is a story about how God's people took a stand against Satan and an evil plot. Isn't that a good match for what Jesus did on Passover?

Hebrews 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

Jesus is Lord of all and yet we don't see it yet. This indicates that there is still rebellion in the creation that must be dealt with. This is what we are seeing during the church age. The Jews rejected Jesus, that was rebellion and that rebellion was in large part due to witchcraft. They think they can rebel against the king. So this is why we are still here, to put all things under the Lord's feet and that begins with us. We need our flesh, our ego, our opinions, our goals all under the feet of Jesus.

9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

We can go to the cross because Jesus went to the cross first.

10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

It isn't just that Jesus was victorious and came out in glory, Jesus is much more than "the greatest of all time". He is also the greatest captain of all time, able to lead us into glory as well.

11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

This is the point, if we are all one, then our rapture should be one with His resurrection. He was victorious, we need to be victorious as well. You can't be victorious if you refuse to get into the ring. The ring is the cross of Christ. There is no way to go through the cross of Christ, death, burial and resurrection unless you are intently listening to and following the Lord's leading.

12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

We sing praise because we know we never would have been victorious if it had not been for the Lord.

13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

Yes, again, and again and again we will put our trust in Him.

14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

The lord is incredibly sympathetic to our needs. It is amazing to me. I was a teacher and that is perhaps the most important skill and by far no one is ever great at this. We are daily hit with our shortcomings when it comes to helping others with their trials and understanding what they are going through.

15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

It is so nice to be delivered from this fear, and isn't that ultimately what the rapture is all about?

Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say
they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and
worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Now consider this, how do you make liars and cheats and scam artists, how do you make them do this? The only way is they must be absolutely and unequivocally caught in the lie. You can't do that simply because some priest is not raptured and there would be no way to know worldwide how many Catholics were and were not raptured. No doubt, some will be. The same goes for the other big denominations. No, if the Pope is not raptured, if the cardinals and Bishops of both the Catholic church and the large denominations are not raptured and you have the evidence on an event that was on the internet, then it doesn't matter if a few Catholics are raptured. The fact that no one from their leadership worldwide is raptured, that would be totally damning evidence.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which
is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is
there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of

old time, which was before us.

What is the thing that is done? Jesus went into the ring with death, conquered it and rose from the dead. That is what will be done again. Jesus is not only the Lord of life, He is also the captain of our salvation leading us in victory. Jesus had this resurrection life and was put into the ground like a grain of wheat. That is at the start of the church age, like the start of the year. At the end of the year we have the harvest, we reap a hundredfold. We started with one grain of wheat and in the end we have a hundred grains of wheat. That is what we see with Purim. The children of God now express God. They are in the image and likeness of God.

1 Thessalonians 5:2. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so
cometh as a thief in the night.


Purim is the only appointed day that depicts a thief coming in the night.

Joel 3:1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. 3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.

So we are given two clues about when this time will be. First they will have parted His land. This is past tense, but it is very likely the judgement will come within 24 hours of this being official. Second, "they cast lots for my people".

This is the same word used in Esther 3:7 In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.

This is what Purim celebrates, they had cast lots for the people of God, they were like chips in a poker game, or slaves being sold at the market and they took a stand with the Lord to overthrow these evil men. So we are looking for these two things and they will likely come rapid fire in a 24 hour period -- an agreement to divide the land of Israel followed by Purim.

Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from
being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.


Damascus is the oldest continuously inhabited city on earth. Prior to Noah’s flood
Methuselah died, his death was a signal to Noah and his family to enter the ark for
seven days. Methuselah had a prophecy over him that when he died the end would
come. Jesus said that His return would be as the days of Noah. The death of
Methuselah was definitely one of those days. I think that we will therefore have a day
similar to the death of Methuselah and it will be prophesied. This may also take place the same day as the rapture.

We have been given our marching orders, brace for impact!

I have been seriously studying the rapture for the last five years, started in March of 2020 when the Pandemic hit. Prior to that time I have been a Christian since 1972, and seriously began studying the Bible since 1979. Have I and others been "wrong" about how soon the Lord would return before? Depends how you want to define "wrong". I thought it was always better to be safe than to be sorry.

If you go through this blog you will see many times I thought it was a "high watch time". This was based on a possible interpretation of the scripture. The Bible hasn't changed, and the verses that I thought were relevant has also not changed. What has changed is I have accumulated more and more verses and become more and more precise in my understanding. Thomas Edison said he wasn't wrong 99 times he simply had found 99 theories that didn't work. That is my attitude, I felt with every step we took we got closer and closer to understanding what is going on.

Five years ago I did not know the year that Jesus was crucified, today I believe I have nailed that down, not by some archaelogist or hair brained theory but based on the word of God. Based on the word of God I believe I can confirm that Jesus was crucified in 32 AD and I can also show why it wasn't 30, 31 or 33 AD.

That is big because according to Hosea 6 this would mean that the Jews and Israel would be enlivened prior to June of 2032 and raised up shortly after June of 2032. They will be enlivened prior to Armageddon so we can conclude that Armageddon in 2032 is very likely and that seven years earlier in 2025 is the start of the 70th week.

Five years ago I did not know if the 70th week began on Tishrei 1 or Nisan 1. Now I feel quite certain it is Nisan 1 and what starts it is they sacrifice the red heifer. 70 weeks is a very specific time of sinning against the Lord. The Lord said you forgive 70x7, or 70 weeks of time. To sacrifice the red heifer is an official act of defiance and rebellion against Jesus Christ, the Messiah who was crucified for them.

We have several signs to watch.

1. They will divide the Jews land just as the soldiers divided Jesus clothes when He was on the cross. However, when you see that it will be too late. Still it should precede the rapture, which is marked by a great earthquake just as Jesus' death on the cross was.

2. We should also see the destruction of Damascus so that it becomes a ruinous heap. But again, that is very likely too late as it may coincide with the death of Jesus and the two thieves on the cross (very likely that both Kiev and Damascus will be nuked).

3. The collapse of the US dollar and the money changers table being flipped will take place two or three days before these other events. So that should be a sign, but again, too late to brace yourself as running to the store then will not work.

The good news is that Jesus was crucified on a blood moon and it appears from the Scripture that this blood moon on Purim (March 13th) is the sign to us of when that takes place. This means we are one week away and you probably only have three days to complete any preparations you might have.

If you are raptured congratulations. However, in this blog one of the main things I wanted to know is how many will be raptured and my best guess is a minority of true Christians. Enoch walked with God and he was taken when he was 365 years old. I think that is a very clear word that you must be one who is walking with God 365 days a year and not simply one day a week. However, even if you are raptured you must know people who won't be. So from here on out until March 13th my focus will be on what we are to say and do and leave behind for those who are left behind.

There is one very good piece of news that should encourage us all. When the rapture takes place there will be three days of darkness. Just as Jesus died and took a tour of Hades for three days those of us left behind will be treated to that as well. Outside your window will be a horror movie being played out. Make sure anyone left behind in your home can tape up something to completely block out the windows. If they don't have lights in the home, and most won't, you will want an oil lamp. An oil lamp is the best, but candles can also be used.

The reason I say this is encouraging is that all those who are addicted to their phones, internet and TV will have all of that cut off. Leave them an oil lamp and a Bible and a letter. Tell them they should spend these three days fasting, praying and reading the Bible.

Surely the Lord will give us a sign

I agree.

I don't think the destruction of Damascus will be it. I would liken the destruction of Kiev and Damascus to the two thieves on the cross being killed. I think the fire will fall on those cities when the rapture takes place similar to Lot being saved from Sodom, so that will coincide with the rapture but won't be sign ahead of time.

I also don't think the sign will be an agreement in the UN dividing up Israel. I would liken that to the soldiers dividing up Jesus' clothes. Yes it precedes the crucifixion but happens when you are already being nailed to the cross.

No, I think four days before the rapture the Pope will die and I think three days before you will see the money changers table flipped, the dollar collapse and a reset to gold backed currency with gold increasing in value dramatically relative to the dollar.
