Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

The Rapture is when the Lord has turned back your enemy.

Zephaniah 3:14 Sing, Daughter Zion; shout aloud, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, Daughter Jerusalem! 15 The Lord has taken away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm.

Why are they watching in the night to prevent the house from being broken into? Clearly they were fearing some harm.

16 On that day they will say to Jerusalem, “Do not fear, Zion; do not let your hands hang limp.

"Do not let your hands hang limp" -- this is what we are saying now to the church, you have to wake up and take a stand.

17 The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”

In that day we will be calling the Lord the Mighty Warrior. Our rapture is similar to our exit from Egypt.

18 “I will remove from you all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals, which is a burden and reproach for you. 19 At that time I will deal with all who oppressed you. I will rescue the lame; I will gather the exiles. I will give them praise and honor in every land where they have suffered shame.

"In every land" indicates this is worldwide. The Mighty Warrior will be dealing with all who oppressed you. Today we see them shutting down churches, arresting pastors, forbidding the gospel to be spoken, forbidding Bibles, and many other forms of oppression.

20 At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes,” says the Lord.

To "gather you" and to "bring you home" is a reference to the rapture.

1Samuel 23 -- The country becomes clear who the real problem is.

There are some chapters in the Bible which are just completely absurd. For example, 1Samuel 23 David is gone, he has fled, and yet King Saul is so concerned with killing David that he doesn’t care about the Philistines robbing Israel? This would be like in the midst of a pandemic that came from a bioweapons lab in China, that at this time our government was more concerned with impeaching Trump who has already left office. I know, absurd. The biggest crime in human history, millions of people dead, the world's economy in ruins, and our leaders think the biggest threat is some guy running for reelection in four years? No wonder people have a hard time believing the Bible.

Saul brought his whole army there to catch David but not to protect the town from the Philistines? Come on, man! Can anyone believe this? It would be like politicians saying year after year after year that walls don’t work and you can’t use the military to maintain order in the US only to then surround Washington DC with barbed wire and 25,000 troops.

 

[ZNP]

Psalm 2 -- Therefore you kings, be warned

1 Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?

The Platform in the Democrats National convention discussed religious freedom in the US -- Following their promised protection of free exercise and celebration of tolerance, the Democrats added a condition: “Democrats believe that freedom of religion and the right to believe — or not to believe — are fundamental human rights. We will never use protection of that right as a cover for discrimination.” The platform also contained a promise to “reject the Trump Administration’s use of broad religious exemptions to allow businesses, medical providers, social service agencies, and others to discriminate.” This reference to exemptions refers to a religious school wanting the teachers and staff to be an example of Jesus teaching. So although the law prohibits discrimination it is difficult to follow the precepts of the New Testament without exercising discrimination. For example, they state that you have the freedom not to believe in the context of not allowing any exemptions. Presumably an atheist would be able to apply for a job at a religious school and they would not be allowed to require faith as a criteria. Also, many of these religious institutions were given a waver where they were not required to have abortion as part of their health plan. Now we see other executive actions taken by Biden to require all religious organizations to allow anyone to identify as any gender. This applies to the use of bathrooms, locker rooms and other facilities. So an “all girls school” could no longer discriminate against a boy who identifies as a girl. Recently christian schools have been charged with a crime because they are not allowing transgender men to use women's locker rooms and bathrooms.

The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election, Time Magazine, February 4th. This story lays out how they plotted to steal the election. It is an example of “the ends justifies the means”. They are boasting in criminal behavior because “they won”.

2 The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, 3 “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”

China closed all the churches nationwide due to the Corona virus and then instituted harsh new regulations in order for them to reopen. China has banned religious education and all unregistered church worship. This is essentially banning any worship in the homes. Sermons need to be based on Xi’s sayings, patriotic songs replace hymns, portraits of Xi JinPing are put up in the sanctuary replacing any other pictures. The Uighurs, an islamic minority in China, are put into reeducation camps with forced abortions and forced sterilizations. North Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Pakistan are just a few of the countries with extreme persecution against the church. The entire world is moving towards the Chinese model of a totalitarian state. It is quite clear that BLM is a marxist organization and that the Critical Race Theory is similar to the way the communists have infiltrated other societies and prepared the way for overthrow through revolution.

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.

What we have seen recently is multiple floods, typhoons, and hurricanes in China and also in the US. A mega fire in California so large many of the fires are simply left to burn as we don’t have enough resources to fight them. These fires threaten to spread to Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. Many people are watching to see how many dams and dykes will be breached. China has 94,000 aging dams, a couple have collapsed this year and people fear many more will collapse in the very near future. The pandemic and disasters are giving a one two punch to the global economy. China has increased their food imports dramatically with a potential famine looming over the country. Likewise protests have erupted in the US and around the world. No one has walked away from the claims of election fraud no matter how many have claimed it was “over”, “time to move on”, “debunked”, etc. Rather the evidence is already sufficient to decertify Arizona's results, meanwhile election workers in Georgia have hired a top criminal lawyer to defend them, while at the same time Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire are all moving towards doing complete forensic audits in their states. There is no way for them to escape, and everyday the noose tightens.

5 He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, 6 “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.” 7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father.

It is a major insult for these governments to try and dictate to the church how to behave, what to say, what to sing and who to revere. When you look at what they did in this election it was government of the tech giants, by the bureaucrats, and for oligarchs. You have violated the US constitution. These people are in rebellion against God who installed Jesus as Lord and against Jesus Christ, Lord of all.

8 Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. 9 You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

It is time for the church to rise up in prayer. These tech giants need to be shattered into pieces. We need to use anti trust laws to break them into pieces. All of these companies that are "too big to fail" must be broken up like AT&T was years ago.

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling. 12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

The whole world has seen what has happened and been warned. Australia, Germany, France, Poland, Uganda and Mexico have already responded to this warning. Texas, Florida, Missouri, Wyoming, and North Dakota have already responded to the warning. The people of California have been warned and are responding. Russia is now censoring google and Twitter. The ratings of the "Mainstream" media have fallen so low it is ridiculous to call them mainstream. Steve Bannon who they mocked and ridiculed has 100 viewers for every viewer they have.

Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep it, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

This is a prophecy that if you do you watch you will know the hour that the Lord will come upon thee. Here are a series of videos which prove some are watching and they lay out the evidence for how we would know the hour that the Lord is coming.

 

[ZNP]

Colossians 2:8 Be careful not to allow anyone to captivate you through an empty, deceitful philosophy that is according to human traditions and the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

The Free Masons have a religion of Satan worship based on the deceitful philosophy that they are simply one with the elemental spirits of the world. Stealing, adultery and murder are all OK because that is the law of the jungle. If you study apes, or chimps, or birds, or one of many different species on this planet you will see that the practice of adultery, stealing, and murder is very common.

The problem with this philosophy is that it is not true of eusocial creatures. Yes, out of millions of species on this planet there are only 18 that are eusocial, so they are quite rare, yet they are also the most dominant species on the planet. Ants, termites, bees, and humans all have this in common. Species that are not eusocial do not congregate in groups larger than 100 and usually not in groups larger than 25. For example with chimps you will have a dominant male, perhaps one or two more, a harem of females and the offspring of this alpha male. Think about that, chimps are very smart, they have opposable thumbs and so could create a world not that different from humans and yet they are "dumb animals". Why? Because they are not eusocial. They cannot trust others to raise their kids, they cannot trust others to not steal and commit adultery and so they live in large families cut off from the other chimps. They don't have schools, they don't have diversified jobs that everyone does.

What makes man special is that we are eusocial. We could never have gone to the moon if we lived in a society that could not be larger than 100. Satellites, telecommunications, modern medicine, and all the other fantastic inventions are all possible because we are eusocial. We can have an Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton because we don't have to spend our days foraging for food and fighting off other bands of roving humans.

A society according to Christ can transform this earth into the New Jerusalem. However, if we live according to the elemental spirits of apes the world will descend into anarchy, chaos, and will very quickly become hell.

 

[ZNP]

The Free Mason's religion is based on the rulers resting upon the masses who they consider blind, rude, vulgar. View the great unwashed masses as "the deplorables". That is the fundamental error in their entire philosophy. If the Lord rescues the "deplorables" with the rapture then He pulls the rug out from under them. Murder, stealing and adultery as a religion for the abusive people works when you have someone to abuse, but what happens when they aren't here and you are thrown into a world with nothing but murderers, thieves and adulterers? Then you have Sodom and Gomorrah.

 

[ZNP]

There are two very different gospels being preached. One is open, from the rooftops, out in the light. The other is hidden, secret, full of lies and deceit.

In the Bible's gospel we have the Christian ethic, work hard, have faith in God, and you will reap what you sow.

In this antithesis of the gospel it is all about prospering off of someone else's labor. With one hand you do good works as PR, with the hidden hand you bring death and destruction. For example, let's say the government wanted to become much more powerful. Hitler did this, you create a problem, say the Communists, and then the people seek you out to have a more aggressive police department where you now have a firmer grip over the country. Perhaps the Jews see through this so you decide to make them the enemy. You destroy them with one hand, and then steal everything they have and use that to fund your "good works". It is like a snake devouring itself.

Suppose the real goal is to have greater control over the people, like branding cattle. You create something that can track every human being on the planet by simply injecting it into them. You can first test this out on animals and prisoners. This could even store digital information like bank accounts. If you can eliminate cash you have even greater control over people. But no one would agree to this so you create a catastrophe, a pandamic, and then use that as a way to motivate people to get your injection.

Satan comes only to steal, kill and destroy. If you are part of the 1% that rule the world, then it is an easy thing to see killing 1/3 of the people on this planet as a solution to your problems. Hitler saw this as the solution, Stalin saw it this way, Lenin saw it this way, you should not think it strange that "the ruler of this age" would see stealing and murder as a solution.

 

[ZNP]

G.K. Chesterton said the study of history should be a study of power elites. Instead historians obscure and deny the truth. The more I read, the more I am convinced that the function of the news media, the arts, education and entertainment is to deceive and make us stupid. While we are numbed and distracted, our leaders carry out their orders under occult discipline (or blackmail.) As human life becomes degraded, it seems less worth saving. The devil is afoot and all-powerful. As long as he uses deceit, good people seem helpless to resist. https://rense.com/general29/free.htm

The Noahide laws are a disturbing development. The US and the UN both recognize them and on the surface they seem Biblical. However, the penalty for blasphemy is beheading and that includes declaring that Jesus is Lord.

Obviously that is a violation of the US constitution and those penalties have not been enforced. The thought is that after the rapture Satan is cast out of heaven, the Antichrist rises and to maintain order not only do they push the "great delusion" of UFOs and something out of a Marvel movie script, but they will also declare martial law and enforce the Noahide law to prevent anyone from preaching that Jesus is Lord.

This is prophesied in the Bible when the fifth seal is opened as we see the souls of those who have been beheaded.

 

[ZNP]

To me the fifth seal is good news. Suppose you miss the first rapture? You don't need to try and survive the tribulation. Take a stand, preach the gospel, get your head chopped off. Who wants to try and live as a righteous man in the midst of Sodom and Gomorrah as it descends into hell. You will end up like Lot, your wife a pillar of salt, your kids having children in incest. Forget that, having your head chopped off is still a very honorable path to take.

 

[Rev316]

I don't understand your timing of Satan being kicked out of heaven. Revelation implies it happened before the dragon persecuted the woman with child (the church)

( Jesus saw Satan fall like lightning [maybe a vision of future] )


Also I don't understand "noahide laws" simple definition please

I agree with martyrdom.
Only verse that is troubling is Revelation 15:8 (no man able to enter the temple) it makes sense the ark door closes at some point.

Please review this mid-trib explanation and I would enjoy your thoughts

I didn't give a "timing" of Satan being kicked out of heaven other than it happens at the time of the rapture. One thing occurred to me, we don't know the day or the hour of the rapture, but that doesn't mean we don't know the timing of other events.

We know that when Satan is kicked out he is likened to the Great dragon and he spews out a flood knowing his time is short. There is a play on words here as the word "rapture" can also refer to the water breaking when a woman gives birth. I think this flood will involve the 3 gorges dam.

Also this annular eclipse of the Sun is thought to be a sign of the antichrist. This puzzle piece is not so much found in scripture as it is in Egyptian and Babylonian worship and symbology. Therefore I don't think it is suitable for a blog on Bible verses but even so I appreciate the work of those who have done this research, even at the risk of their lives.

The Noahide laws are a reference to Noah. God made a covenant with Noah and it is the covenant God has with all governments. If someone kills someone it is the government's responsibility to investigate and prosecute. However, these laws are more detailed than that and include capital punishment for blasphemy. Obviously the US cannot enforce such a law as long as the constitution is in effect, they would have to first declare martial law. The same is true of the UN. Still, you can imagine governments declaring martial law after the rapture and you can imagine the antichrist enforcing this law to shut people up who are proclaiming that Jesus is Lord (the law includes the proclamation that Jesus is God as blasphemy).

I saw a picture of George Bush signing this law as some kind of nod to orthodox Jews, yet the main person pushing this law was giving the sign of the hidden hand from the Free Masons.

Personally I thought it correlated nicely with Dana Coverstone's "Flaming spear dream" where he sees bloody hands unrolling the calendar from May to September. According to the book of revelation John is caught up to the throne immediately after we see the seven golden lampstands. I take that as the rapture. Following this we have the four horsemen of the apocalypse with the first being the Antichrist, then war, famine and disease. This suggests great turmoil and suffering for the whole world. This is the common tactic of the Satanists, with the hidden hand you cause death and destruction and then the people call on you to fix it and you institute the solution you wanted all along. The fifth seal is the beheading of those who witness for Jesus. I see the war, famine and plague as a means to an end, to shut up those who are testifying of Jesus.

I also see this as a great opportunity for those who missed the rapture just as the book of Acts describes the disciples after the Lord's ascension. I suspect they will gather together, pray and many will be very bold to preach the word despite persecution, imprisonment and death.

One thought I have looking at this mid tribulation rapture is the reference to Jeremiah. I have come to the conclusion that the first three gospels refer to the three different groups who are raptured. Luke -- pre tribulation, Mark -- mid tribulation and Matthew is at the of the tribulation.

I see this same pattern in the three major prophets: Isaiah is pre tribulation, Jeremiah is mid tribulation along with his lamentation, Ezekiel is post tribulation. I also see this pattern repeated with the books of Solomon. Although this is a blog about the rapture I have focused almost exclusively on the pre tribulation rapture, as a result you see a heavy emphasis on Luke, Isaiah and Proverbs.

Therefore if you are looking at Jeremiah you will see a mid tribulation rapture, if you are looking at Ezekiel you will see a rapture after many other things are completed. So using Jeremiah to argue against a pre tribulation rapture doesn't make sense to me. That is like arguing from Mark that the gospel began with the ministry of John the Baptist. That was not true in Luke, for them the gospel began at the Lord's conception.

 

[ZNP]

Matthew 24: 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and earthquakes in divers places. 8 But all these things are the beginning of travail. 9 Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many stumble, and shall [c]deliver up one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray. 12 And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold. 13 But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And [d]this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole [e]world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come.

There is a remarkable correlation with the five seals here. No doubt we have seen these things play out for 2,000 years, but it could also play out again at the end of the age.

1. Many shall come in my name saying "I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray". When the angels are kicked out of heaven and cast to earth, when the white horse rides for the Antichrist, it could be that they are all portraying themselves as "the Christ". Again, like some Marvel movie.

2. Following the white horse we get the red horse of war., then famines, then earthquakes, and all these are "the beginning of travail".

That is the first four seals.

3. Then shall they deliver you up for my name's sake, you will be hated and they shall kill you. That is the fifth seal.

All of this is happening as a way of preaching the gospel to the whole world for a testimony.

Then the end shall come. This is Matthew which presents the view for those who are raptured at the end of the tribulation.

1Samuel 25 -- Abigail is raptured shortly after the idiocy of defund the police is exposed

This chapter tells the story of David marrying Abigail, it is a type of the church as the bride of Christ and a type of the rapture. The context or setting of this story is that David’s men acted as security for Nabal’s business and his employees. To not pay them for keeping you safe is what the entire "defund the police" movement is all about. Nabal has defrauded David. He thinks he can treat David as a chump. This reminds me of Trump saying NATO wasn’t paying their full share and was going to pull out of the alliance. That must have terrified the rest of the NATO countries and they quickly paid up. The hypocrisy of these city and state leaders has been on full display. They call the riots “mostly peaceful” and support defunding the police. But then when the slightest incident happens they are calling for police. One woman called the police because a Uber driver refused to drive her somewhere and dropped her off at the gas station. During the day she is calling for the police to be defunded and then at night she wants the police to ride in and arrest a Uber driver who is not going to give her a ride. Democrats for four years argued that walls don’t work, first thing they do when they get into power is stop the construction of the border wall and yet they surround the capitol with barbed wire and 25,000 troops at a cost of over $500 million.

Nabal dies a weird death, surely not a heart attack, wouldn’t have taken ten days, maybe a stroke, who knows. It is a death in slow motion. It reminds me of the video of Gavin Newsom eating at the French Laundry ultimately leading to the recall. His demise is in slow motion. It reminds me of Reagan’s son who is an atheist saying he is not afraid of hell juxtaposed on the fires we see in California. Again, 40 years is like watching a train crash in slow motion. It reminds me of the impeachment trial where all these different ones were pontificating about how offended they were that Trump would say “fight like hell” only to then see videos of them all saying the exact same thing and even worse things. It reminds me of them calling for witnesses in the trial only to see that the first witness the Trump team was going to call was Nancy Pelosi. At that point in the trial it seemed the only thing that had any traction at all was “negligence” on the part of Trump to respond to the riot. The problem with that argument is that Pelosi is responsible for the security of the Capitol building, not Trump. Pelosi had been informed of the pipe bombs prior to the riot yet had done nothing. Pelosi had refused national guard troops offered by Trump. Pelosi was aware of FBI intelligence that said people were planning an attack on the capitol building. If they went down this road it would become very obvious to all of America that Pelosi was negligent in her duties. Without a doubt they have treated Trump and the 75 million who voted for him with contempt. However, it is up to God to bring their wrongdoing down on their own heads.

Abigail was awake and had prevented the Lord from coming as a thief. So it reminds me of the Lord's word to watch othewise He would come as a thief.

 

[ZNP]

Both Esther and Abigail are types of the rapture. But rather than consider them I prefer to look at Nabal and Haman. Nabal is a fool, he is a drunken fool that thinks it is a big joke to scam the Lord Jesus. Haman is a very sinister, evil character. He manipulates the king into approving laws designed to commit genocide. These two represent the "useful idiots" in our government, and the deep state.

I find it very naive when people dismiss the idea of an evil deep state as some kind of conspiracy theory. Is it just a theory that we went to war over WMD's that weren't there? Is it just a theory that millions of people had their homes stolen from them by banking practices that were both fraudulent and illegal and yet the government did nothing and prosecuted no one? Is it a theory that Mueller investigated Trump for over 2 years concerning collusion with Russia, spent 40 million on that investigation, and found nothing. Yet, we have the evidence of Biden colluding with the Ukraine and we have a cyber attack from Russia and Biden dismisses any possible connection to Putin? Is it a theory that Trump was impeached, twice? The first time they impeached him the FBI had Hunter Biden's laptop that would have both exonerated Trump and proved Biden's guilt and yet they hid that from the investigation. The second time they had the evidence that Pelosi and Schumer were negligent in their responsibilities to keep the building safe. Is it a theory that they shut the investigation down rather than actually allow their guilt to be known? Is the Pandemic a theory? Is it a theory that a year ago you were not permitted to question the origin of the pandemic and anyone who considered the Wuhan lab as the origin was ridiculed, mocked and vilified? Yet today we know that is the truth and there never was any evidence to support the natural origin.

You have to be blind as a bat to not see this deep state conspiracy. Not only so but they have published enough concerning what they are going to do. Fauci in 2017 said he expected to see a surprise pandemic. Yet in 2019 when we did have the first signs of a pandemic he was counseling the president not to shut down travel with China and that there was nothing to fear from this virus. Fauci said it was worth the risk of a pandemic to experiment with these bat viruses and paid for the research at the Wuhan lab. The CCP said that if they go to war with the US it would have to start with a bio weapon.

Then we have Ruth, another type of the bride that is raptured. She is a "deplorable". So why does Boaz appreciate her? He sees what she is doing on behalf of her mother in law. She is willing to become the lowest of the low to help her mother in law. She is very similar to Mordecai who is also a deplorable, doing street protests, being censored by the media. We also see this with Abigail though it is much subtler, it is a servant that tells Abigail what is going on. You can see that the servants have a very different opinion of Abigail than they do with Nabal. The servants consider Nabal a fool that no one can talk to, but Abigail is someone who respects the servants, listens to them and acts on their advice.

Then of course you can compare all the types of the rapture with the Exodus of Israel from Egypt. All of Israel were the deplorables, the slaves. Which gives us a whole new view of this sinister Haman. If we liken this deep state conspiracy to the teachings in secret societies, most notably the Free Masons we learn they are sworn to secrecy under pain of death. They are taught to lie, to be deceitful, to be two faced. They embrace the "hidden hand" strategy that with the hidden hand you cause a catastrophe like a pandemic (Fauci is a Free Mason and has given the sign of the hidden hand publicly) then the public cries out for help and you require everyone to get a vaccine passport. This passport is designed for you to have much greater control over the people than you had before. The "Free" Masons teach that you are free from sin and that it is natural to kill, steal and destroy. A strategy like this works well when you are part of a 1% elite and you are killing, stealing, and destroying the 90%. But what happens when God brings Israel out of Egypt and they lose all those slaves? Egypt goes from being a world superpower, an empire for the ages, to nothing more than a pile of sand with a few good tourist attractions. What happens when you put all those who subscribe to this "free from sin" and "you can steal, kill and destroy" philosophy into a country by themselves? It becomes hell. What happens when everyone in this community does unto them as they have done unto others? Hell on earth. It would be like the Sodom and Gomorrah we see in the story of Lot.

Psalm 12 "I will set him in safety" from the cancel culture

1 Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

Let us go back several hundred years to the religious system in the South that justified racial slavery. They rationalized a hierarchy in society based on race. Then right up to the civil rights era this was justified with bogus science and claims of genetic superiority. Where were the faithful men of God, speaking God’s word when the Bible was twisted to make these arguments? How is this any different from this "Critical Race" theory.

In this context of historical racism and systematic racism in the US which we have worked to eliminate since the 1960s we now have these vain speakings. The “woke” left, also known as the cancel culture. It is a badge of honor to be considered “woke” and they fight with each other for this badge. When Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back by the police in Kenosha the entire Milwaukee team decided to boycott a playoff game causing all the NBA teams to boycott lest they not be seen as “woke”. But they speak with a double heart. The NBA panders to China where you have the most abhorrent systemic racism today. In contrast Jacob Blake had a warrant for his arrest, was violating a court order to stay away from a girl friend that had accused him of rape, was resisting arrest, and was trying to either get a knife or drive away with her three kids. This is the cancel culture and it is the Lord’s judgement. They comb through posts and tweets and old clips. Anyone who has said anything in the past they don’t like they mobilize to “cancel” this person. Usually besiege their place of work for them to get fired and to boycott anything to do with that person. Now what do we see today, a BLM founder fabricated a racist attack on themselves, they couldn't find any to hype, so they had to create one. Another BLM founder is forced to resign due to being exposed for corruption. Another leader of this movement resigns when he realizes the whole thing is a sham and they aren't doing anything to help the black community.

5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

This is a prophecy. When we see this mob-like behavior both from the NBA speaking vanity with flattering words and double hearts, and also with the cancel culture behaving like a mob with torches and pitchforks then the Lord will arise. “I will set him in safety” is considered a reference to the rapture.

If you want to stand for righteousness, and I suspect many in the NBA and many in the cancel culture do, then you need the words of the Lord. Otherwise you will be judged with the words with which you judge others and you will see yourself as the very thing you hate and condemn.

7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

Once again, let’s go back to our history because hindsight is 20/20. During the Antebellum South the vilest men were exalted and the wicked walked on every side. They built their ideologies and hierarchies not on the words of the Lord but on an evil construct. The same thing happened in the Russian revolution and in China in the cultural revolution. The Czar reaped what he had sowed, and the Chinese elite also reaped what they had sown. Books like “White Fragility” use the same logic as the Cultural Revolution where the elites need to be reprogrammed. What do you think happens in the US and the rest of the Earth when the Lord raptures those that have trusted in Him? You will be left with the hypocrites and their vain, flattering words and those with the proud arrogant lips of a mob with torches and pitchforks.

The New Testament Ministry

2 Corinthians.

Chapter 1 -- The New Testament ministry is an answer to the Lord’s prayer: “thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”.

Chapter 2 -- Obedience to the Lord will always result in victory.

Chapter 3 -- The goal of this ministry is that we would all be the Lord’s letter of commendation with the word of God engraved on our hearts.

Chapter 4 -- We are transformed into a weapon of warfare as a result of our renouncing evil.

Chapter 5 -- The ministry in a single word, reconciliation. We have the ministry that reconciles man to God, God to man, and man to man.

Chapter 6 -- This ministry is likened to the festival of dedication known as Hanukkah. “Come out from them and be separate”. Hanukkah is a celebration of light and there are eight days to this celebration. The last eight chapters of 2Corinthians give us this light.

8 days of light

Chapter 6 -- we see the fair exchange. You exchange your life of service for an eternal salvation.

Chapter 7 -- we must heed our spirit and not walk by sight.

Chapter 8 -- we see the privilege of participating in God’s move. Satan would threaten us, but all he can do is to cast us out. If we have already come out and become separate there is nothing he can do to you.

Chapter 9 -- The historical viewpoint, the bird’s eye view of what is going on and realize “we don’t want to be on the wrong side of history”.

Chapter 10 -- We see the enemy “weaponize free speech”. The enemy will insult and slander because he has no case. We cannot be ignorant of Satan’s devices if we are going to stand up for the Lord and bring in the Kingdom.

Chapter 11 -- Once you see through that device you can then see the counterfeit apostles, the pseudo apostles, and learn how to discern.

Chapter 12 -- we see the Lord’s second coming and we see that there are three categories of saints. There are those who were able to receive the light in the previous chapters, they are raptured first to the third heavens. Then there are those who were stumbled by the counterfeit apostles and the weaponized speech. They will need to take a repeater class for a few years.

Chapter 13 -- Finally the Lord comes a third time where we will all appear before the judgement for the things we have done.
