Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

AI will eliminate jobs and bring in a civil war

Isaiah 19:1 The burden of Egypt.

In the Bible Egypt is likened to the world's economy. It is dominated by one major river, and rivers signify commerce. One of their major industries was horses, and in the commercial world transportation is a major driver to the economy. Also they use slave labor to build treasure cities. Think of the great cities of the world, NYC, London and Hong Kong are all banking capitals of the world.

Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

The idols are "moved" and "Melt". Go to Wall Street and their idol is the bull market, if you have a bull market melt it is a good picture of it petering out. The economy "moves" when some major new innovation comes along like the PC, or the Internet, or the steam engine. Today that major new innovation is Artificial Intelligence and Robots.

2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

This is a civil war. We had a civil war in the US when the economy was "moved" and we had machines that could do the jobs of slaves in the south and so the North wanted the slaves for their factories. The economy moved on a much smaller scale when the internet came along as people moved to "silicon valley" and other centers of high tech. AI will be far more disruptive than that.

3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

The council this time has been that this time is no different than previous times. People thought the PC would put people out of business or the internet would or the industrial revolution would. Jobs changed but no one lost their job. However, they are ignoring the Civil War, yes, this time is going to rhyme with the Civil war, only instead of people who pick cotton to make white collars losing their jobs it will be those who wear the white collars who lose their jobs.

4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts.

It is called the Beast Empire. Look at how easily Amazon.com fires people, or IBM, or Intel, or Meta, or Google. This is a hint at how cruel this lord will be. It will be a simple return on investment analysis, they won't care about your years of service, instead all they care about is what kind of return can you give for your salary compared to the cost of AI and robots.

5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.

It will be a great depression which is like a drought to an agricultural community or over fishing to a fishing community.

6 And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither. 7 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.

We have major multinational corporations, they are the river and the sea, they will dry up and fail. But then there are much smaller businesses which have contracts with these large multinationals, those contracts will dry up and fail. Also, in addition to multinational corporations we have government contracts. Imagine if the US, China, Japan, Russia, Iran and Pakistan were to all go bankrupt.

8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish. 9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.

There are two kinds of industries here. Think of all the people making six figure salaries and million dollar bonuses as big fish in the sea. These people will support other industries like car salesmen, realtors, shopping malls, etc. Those are your fishermen. Then there are others who take the cotton grown on big farms and make fine clothes with them. You could be a private contractor, those jobs also will dry up.

10 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.

Then of course you have schools of fish. The way you build up a fishing industry is you take the small hatchlings and keep them in safe little ponds where you feed them. All the schools will also fail. Right now AI is smarter than any graduate student. So why should a kid go to college or graduate school? JHS and HS kids can use AI today and don't need 4, 6 or 8 years more of education. So yes, colleges are about to go broke.

Isaiah 19:11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

There are CEOs of major fortune 500 companies saying that 50% of white collar jobs will be taken as well as experts in the AI field. And yet, you get these talking heads pretending they are wise telling everyone that all is fine.

12 Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

In two years you will have a massive unemployment problem and all these ones who today are telling you all is fine, they will all disappear like fog in the morning. They will melt away.

13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.

We have two kinds of analysts that deceive people. You have the economists that look at global economic policy, think of the Fed and the G7, and you have stock analysts who are giving buy and sell signals. When the stock market and economy collapses they will become fools.

14 The Lord hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.

Jim Kramer is a stock analyst for MSNBC. His record is so amazingly bad that some have even created a mutual fund that does the opposite of what Kramer recommends. Meanwhile there are crazy economists suggesting that our $36 trillion debt is not a problem and other idiotic theories.

15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

We are talking about a great depression. Elon Musk is saying there will be ten robots for each person. Already the self driving cars are taking away jobs of taxi drivers and truck drivers.

16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shaketh over it. 17 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath determined against it.

This blog started in 2020 on another platform and I would get ten new visitors a day. Over the last three weeks I have been averaging 2,000 new visitors a day. What has happened? I had nothing to do with that, I did not spend a dime on advertising. What happened is the threat of nuclear war, the dress rehearsal for the sacrifice of a red heifer, the US bombs Iran fulfilling prophecy, Hamas invades Israel, etc. As people see what is going on they realize they are helpless, like women, to do anything. That is why they come to a blog about the rapture and the fulfillment of prophecy.

18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the Lord of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.

This sounds like five refuge cities in the midst of the destruction.

19 In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord.

An altar to the Lord sounds like the cross of Jesus Christ. Five refuge cities with genuine believers who are one with the crucified Christ.

20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.

I think this refers to the tribulation saints, the two witnesses, and the 144,000.

21 And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform it.

There is nothing like the threat of nuclear war along with a great depression and an evil demonic dictator ruling a bunch of Nazis to turn people to the Lord.

22 And the Lord shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the Lord, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.

The seven year tribulation begins with the Lord smiting Egypt. The Red horse is war, the black horse is famine and the pale green horse is the plague. But it will end with the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ, also called "the restoration of all things".

23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.

I consider the Assyrians to be soldiers. Commerce and military might side by side.

24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: 25 Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.

Israel is the prince of God, that is the governmental administration. Egypt is commercial economy and Assyria is the military. All three working together as one to bless the earth.

Here is what to look for in a church

1 Corinthians 1:1 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

Paul is the most gifted Bible teacher the church has ever had. But, this ministry is not an individual sport, it is a team sport and I am sure Sosthenes played a critical role in helping the Apostle Paul write the New Testament epistles.

2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:

There are three characteristics of any typical church. First they are sanctified in Christ Jesus. That means there is a separation from the world unto Jesus. If you come into a church meeting and you can't tell any difference between it and the world, leave. That is not a church. Sometimes the separation is so extreme they will call the group a cult. However, every typical church should exhibit a sanctification where there is a separation from the world to the Lord Jesus. Second every member should have a calling to be a saint. That doesn't mean they are sinless, it means they are called to be saints. Imagine you were to go to the practice of an NFL team. Every person on that team has a calling to be in the NFL, some may get cut, others may get hurt. But they all have that calling. Finally every single one will call audibly that Jesus Christ is their Lord.

3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

There are also two things that characterize every service: grace and peace. Some churches are involved in community outreach, some are focused on children's work, some are involved in social justice, feeding the poor, helping break the chains of addiction, etc. However, what is common to all is grace and peace. If you come to a church meeting and you have no peace, something is very wrong. If you attend that church for months and there is no grace, so supply. You feel like a plant that has dried up or a fish flopping around it a pool of water that is drying up then something is very wrong. Do not look for a church with a lot of money, don't look for the most charismatic speaker, what you want is "grace and peace".

The Beast vs the Church

AI and Robots are taking away all jobs. At present college graduates will find it very difficult to get a job. But the layoffs will continue to grow exponentially. This is not to make people panic and get scared, that is not a productive response. What you should do is turn to the Lord and the church.

1 Corinthians 1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

Pray for all utterance and knowledge, this promise is still good and can still be cashed in.

6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

All you need is a gift from the Lord. Ask and you shall receive.

8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Time is running out, the free gift of God will expire, and when it does you will see judgment and ultimately the wrath of God. Don't wait that long, you will surely regret it. During the day of the Lord there will be two completely separate economies, that of the Antichrist and those who worship the Beast and that of those who worship Jesus. Think of the early church in the book of Acts where they had all things in common.

Speak the same thing

1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

There are many ministries, many preachers, many congregations, but the one thing common to us all is the fellowship of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

To speak the same thing is not to be a parrot, the word "thing" is referring to the previous verse, the fellowship of Jesus Christ, our Lord. That is the same thing. That doesn't mean you can't talk politics, but remember, Jesus Christ is Lord, not Trump, not Biden, not whoever. All those people are simply pawns. You may feel that abortion is horrible and you want to take a stand against it. Pray to the Lord, ask Him why there is abortion and He will open your eyes. Some things are so egregiously evil that we must take a stand against them. If we don't it reveals something is wrong with your heart. The same mind and the same judgment is that Jesus Christ is Lord, and nothing happens without Him allowing it. So ask the Lord why is He allowing this? It could be a rebuke, it could be a punishment, it could be to get you to repent.

11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

As long as we are all one concerning Jesus Christ being Lord and concerning nothing happening unless He allows it then we will not have contentions. We can have debates. We can enquire of the Lord and study the word to see why something is happening. Until we get light from the lord we might have different theories, different interpretations.

12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

But we should never have these contentions. "Christians" claiming to be of Once Saved Always Saved, or claiming to be Kingdom theology, or this theology or that theology.

13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

We are the Body of Christ, we are not to be divided. Granted an eye ball is very different than a foot, but it is still one body. You were saved because Jesus was crucified for you and you were baptized into the name of the triune God. That is how you are sanctified and separated from the world to the Lord Jesus. Everything else is trivial. Do you think we should forgive student debt, yes or no? In light of eternity that question is trivial. Should we continue to fund USAID or not? In light of eternity that question is trivial.

I'm not saying there aren't right and wrong answers, good and bad policies. What I am saying is there are decisions that you will be thankful for for all eternity, and there are questions today that seem huge and which in a hundred years will seem so insignificant it was a joke.

The foolishness of God is wiser than men

1 Corinthians 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

Paul brought the gospel to the nations and he raised up churches. But he didn't raise them up to be the "church of Paul" or the "Pauline church".

15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

He is sharing this as an inoculation against false teachers and false prophets in the future justifying setting up divisions and saying that they are imitating Paul.

16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

Learn from this, it is great to have a revelation of what the Lord is doing with the church, but if you are going to shepherd the sheep you need to also have a revelation of what the wolves are doing that want to eat the sheep. Paul understands that they preach the gospel, not by the cross of Jesus Christ, but by wisdom of words. He understands that they are doing that to baptize people to their name, their denomination, to their church. They have a financial motive.

18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

This is how you should be discerning whether someone is a false teacher or not. Do they consider the preaching of the cross to be foolishness? Satanists all see the cross of Christ as foolishness. However a genuine man of God will embrace the cross and be filled with the power of God. He might have no power at all, but you can't touch him because of the power of God.

19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

This is what Paul was doing. He was one with the Lord destroying the wisdom of the wise. "The Little Prince" is a book depicting the wisdom of the wise. It aligns with what the FreeMasons teach and can be summed up in the phrase "quid pro quo". You do me a favor, I'll do you a favor, regardless of what the Lord says or what the Bible says or what my conscience says.

20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

Let's look through all of history going back to Solomon. Where are the wise? They are in the grave. Where are the disputers of this world? They also are in the grave. What is the point of the wisdom of the world if it causes you to ignore the fundamental problem of death and eternity?

21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

Do you understand, the purpose of the wisdom of the world is so that the world would not know God. They explain away God. OK, so God responds by taking those who are mocked and ridiculed as foolish to preach the gospel and save those who do believe. Paul is looking to eternity, scammers can only see the gold, luxury cars, private planes and mansions here and now.

22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

When Jesus told the Jews that rejecting Him as the Messiah was the unforgivable sin they demanded a sign. The sign would be from God that they indeed were going to be judged. So they require a sign that only God can do as the omnipotent one. Greeks on the other hand are always seeking wisdom as though that is the secret to success.

23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

The cross of Christ is where Jesus conquered death, the key problem. That was a demonstration of power and wisdom.

25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

He that glorieth let him glory in the Lord

1 Corinthians 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. There is a science to drafting players for the NFL, and statistically speaking they are very good at it. This is why Tom Brady is so interesting because from every angle they were correct to draft him 199th. So the question is what did everyone miss. I was listening to him talk about their win in the Superbowl against the Falcons. In that game they were down 28-3 in the middle of the 3rd quarter. Everyone watching that game assumed it was over, but when you listen to all the Patriot players they hadn't thrown in the towel and when you listen to the Falcons on the sidelines they were still worried. So the first thing that struck me was that Brady's only thought at this point was to score. He wasn't worried about winning, he wasn't calculating what it would take. Simply, let us go and get that first touchdown. Very often superstars feel like it is up to them to win the game, they "put the team on their shoulders". But that is not Brady's mindset. During his entire history as a quarterback from HS, to college to the pros he was never the "superstar". He was simply on player among forty doing his job. Forget about trying to be the hero and trying to win the game, simply, can we get a score here? Then a little while later they had scored and now the thought was "we need the defense to get us a stop" and sure enough there was a strip sack with a turnover. By all accounts that was the turning point in the game. Prior to that it seemed the team had no chance, after that they did have a chance. Brady didn't do that, but just as he had faith in his team they had faith in him. You listen to everyone on both sides of the field they knew that Brady would not quit or throw in the towel. Later one of the receivers made an incredible catch. Again, that wasn't Brady, but his faith in his teammates to each make a play was justified. When the time expired it was a tie game, the first Superbowl to go into overtime. The Patriots won the toss, drove down, scored a touchdown and won the game. But here is what I realized. Growing up Brady would only get five minutes on the field in practice because he was a backup quarterback. So he learned to make the most of those five minutes. He learned to not worry about being the starter, but simply when it was his turn to be ready and to give it his best. He wasn't thinking of himself as the "GOAT" he was simply thinking that he had a job and all of his teammates also had their jobs. So when they were down it wasn't his fault nor was it his responsibility to win the game. Instead his job was to continue to do what he was supposed to do and trust that his teammates would do the same. He wasn't the biggest, fastest, strongest. But he had faith in his teammates and was obedient to do his job.

30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

We are fools, we are unrighteous, and by nature we are not sanctified. The Lord has taken care of all that and He has redeemed us so we don't need to listen to Satan's disparaging of us. So then, when it is all said and done give thanks to the Lord for His wisdom, His righteousness, His sanctification and none of this would have been possible had He not redeemed us.
