Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

False Prophets

13 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. 14 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.

We have a "broad way that leads to destruction" and a "narrow way that leads to life". If you say that Jesus is the only way that leads to life, that is a narrow way. If you say 'we all worship the same God' that is a broad way. In the narrow way we have two very restricting guidelines: Jesus is the only way to the Father and the Bible is the word of God. In the broad way they are willing to embrace all faiths, they get rid of offensive symbols like the cross or the name of Jesus, and they tell you that the Bible is old and out of date and you don't need to obey the word, rather treat it as a good book. I equate this "broad way" to a cult. I know many equate cult with Manson or Jim Jones or Hitler but to me those are the ultimate destinations, that is where the road leads. Being in a cult is the path that leads ultimately to some form of destruction. In order to be on that road you have to accept this person's word over the Bible, so then it is a "personality cult". Also regardless of what the "atheists" and "agnostics" think, they are all worshipping something. So then you have worship of a false God and you have a leader who replaces the word of God with their own word. So then, to me that is a cult, that is the broad way that leads to destruction. Consider Christmas, it seems everyone regardless of their faith "celebrates" Christmas. For some the celebration is wholly centered on Jesus Christ, but for the vast majority of people it is a "broad way that leads to destruction". Their celebration is filled with "magic" (occult), and myths (lies).

15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

This is the context. The context is false prophets, wolves in sheep's clothing. That is a cult. Santa Claus seems like a benevolent old man that wouldn't hurt anyone, but in reality he is a ravening wolf.

16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Paul referred to the Judaizers as "dogs, evil workers, the concision". If they are dogs then they are just like the wolves in sheep's clothing. If they are evil workers then they are a corrupt tree bringing forth evil fruit. If they are the concision, forbidden cutting, then they are ignoring the word of God. All of that can easily be seen in the world's celebration of "Xmas".

The appointed Feast days of the New Testament

There are only four that I know of. But first let's review the big ones from the OT.

1. Passover -- Passover was fulfilled by Jesus and we had nothing to do with that. Also, it doesn't fit with my understanding of the rapture being of only a few, some are left and some are taken. The Passover was the saving of an entire nation. If it is a picture at all it is a picture of Israel being saved at the end of the age when they say "blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord".

Some tried to argue for "2nd Passover" but I think that would best apply to the Jews. Paul said Christ is our Passover, so all true believers did not miss the first Passover.

2. Shavuot -- I think this is a picture of the Ascension of Christ. I also think He fulfilled the first four feasts (Passover, Unleavened bread, Firstfruits and Shavuot) in His earthly ministry. There are some very good rapture pictures in this feast, but you have to answer what are the two leavened loaves. Also, if the pre tribulation rapture were here, then the Jews flight would be in the winter and Jesus instructed us to pray that it wouldn't be in the winter.

3. Feast of New Wine / Pentecost -- This was an excellent type because I thought this takes place on the 8th of Av. You can see the Levites being called up and you see the destruction of the apostasy. However, this was fulfilled at the beginning of the age. I always thought it was a terrible plan to have the rapture day on the same day as the engagement. Women like to celebrate these special days, and God likes to do that too. Both of these days are too great to try and celebrate on the same day. I think the calling of the Levites is a picture of our calling at the start of the church age.

4. Feast of Trumpets -- Everyone at first loved this because "no one knows the day or the hour" is a reference to this feast. However, you can't see anything of a pre tribulation rapture typified in this feast. I believe the fulfillment of this feast is described in Joel and was 2020 and 2021 when the Pandemic and Vaccine came out. If you were very alert you realized in 2020 that the Lord was coming, but if not by 2021 it should have been obvious with the illegal vaccine mandates. The feast of trumpets is a ten day warning that the day of Atonement is coming. The pre tribulation rapture should take place seven years before the day of judgement, so that was not a good fit.

5. 7 days before the day of Atonement -- The high priest changes clothes into a white linen garment and is taken to the Temple chamber to prepare for the Day of Atonement. To me that was a perfect picture of the rapture, but the High Priest is Jesus. It is one thing to say that the Levites typify the born again saints in the Feast of New Wine, but for the High priest to? No, besides this is not a feast day or a celebration day. The rapture is a great and mighty victory. I think this indicates the rapture is in 2024.

6. The day of Atonement -- It is reasonable to say that the rapture is a day of judgement. But the day of Atonement is not a good picture of the pre tribulation rapture, rather it is a picture of the end of the tribulation.

7. Feast of Tabernacles -- This is a wonderful picture of the millennial kingdom, the restoration of all things, and a thousand year wedding day with the Lord. But I don't see a type of the rapture, and it would be an insult to the Jews for this to be fulfilled by only a few Christians. This is a promise to every believer.

So then let's use the shortages in these seven to describe what the feast I am looking for looks like.

1. It should be a great victory of the believers.

2. It should depict the ascension of believers who are victorious over the enemy.

3. Like Pentecost I want to see the Levites take a stand for the Lord and the apostasy to be judged.

4. I want to see that this is "pre tribulation", I don't just want to see the apostasy, I also want to see the Antichrist, the desecration of the temple, and the persecution of the saints.

5. This needs to be a judgement, but more of a "reward" like a gold medal at the Olympics than a judgement of everyone.

6. Before we can have a restoration of all things we need a restoration of holiness, godliness and the gospel.

7. It needs to be a New Testament feast. The Lord's table is one of our feasts, the other is Hanukkah which is referenced in the book of John and Jesus celebrated it. I definitely feel that the two best days for the rapture are these two.

8. As for the apostasy they also have two feast days: Christmas and Easter. I think Christmas refers to the birth of the Antichrist and so I believe this is when the Antichrist will be revealed, the thief in the night. Amos says He will turn your songs of joy on your religious holidays to mourning. I think that is a definite reference to Christmas carols.

9. Also, I like winter the best for the pretribulation rapture because 42 months later it won't be winter.

10. As a result I really like 2024 and how Hanukkah and Christmas coincide.

Jesus expounds the feast of Hanukkah

Luke 21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

The Temple was destroyed so that one stone was not left upon another because God tore it down. We are living stones, Jesus is the chief cornerstone, God is building His ecclesia and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. We are being built into a Holy temple in the Lord. When this temple is complete it will need to be dedicated. Enoch was a type of the rapture and his name means dedicated. This means to be set apart, to be sanctified, hallowed, dedicated. The church age begins with the tearing down of the Jewish temple which had rejected Jesus. Then during the church age the church was built. At the end of the church age the church is revealed as the Lord's masterpiece and is dedicated to Him. That is what marriage is and that is what the rapture is all about. These are the dedicated ones. Think of these two things as bookends, you have 70AD as one bookend and the rapture as the other bookend.

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

This is a reference to the spirit of antichrist and all the counterfeits to the Messiah, the anointed one, the savior of the world. Once again, just as this age began so will it end.

9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

This also reminds me of Hanukkah. The desecration of the temple requiring it to be rededicated, Antiochus Ephiphanes and all these false messiahs, pretenders to the throne, and the threat of war.

12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

This also is the story of Hanukkah. We are to be a testimony, a shining light in the midst of an evil and perverted age.

16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

This also was part of the playbook during Hanukkah. There is no other feast day where you can see this betrayal.

17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

This also was the case with Hanukkah, truly a New Testament feast giving us a preview of the church age.

20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

This whole chapter sounds like a reference to Hanukkah.

 

[ZNP]

Agenda 2030

During Hanukkah with Antiochus Ephiphanes the Greek ruler passed laws that made it illegal to practice Judaism according to the Torah. This is what Agenda 2030 and Cop28 is leading to.

We all thought that "he confirms the covenant with the many for one week" was a reference to a peace treaty because there is another prophecy "when they say peace and security then sudden destruction comes". Again, this is what they did at the time of the Antiochus Epiphanes, not only did he pass laws outlawing the Biblical practice of Judaism, he also feigned peace in order to get into Jerusalem.

So this tells us that on one hand they will be passing laws like COP28 and Agenda 2030 are talking about and at the same time this is confirmed there will be the need for a world ruler to come in with a phony Peace and Security deal.

Christmas is the perfect illustration

Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

No one denies that there is no truth, rather they accuse each other disinformation, fake news, propaganda, manipulation, false flags, and every vile act. There is no mercy, people are given ten years in prison for trespassing in the Capital when the police waved them in. There is no knowledge of God. In many instances you aren't even permitted to use the name of Jesus, those that do are censored, fired, or bleeped and blurred out. Christmas is a holiday where parents are expected to lie to their children and everything they tell the children about Santa, reindeer, elves at the North Pole, etc. is false.

2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.

Joe Biden is merely the symptom, but he swore, he lied, he stole, and that is simply what we know about. They want abortion to be protected as a religious practice. This is how sick and twisted they are, their worship includes killing their own children.

3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

They are being taken away by the millions. They claim it is "mad cow" or "swine flu" or "bird flu" or algae or some other reason. But the Bible makes it clear, God said this would happen and it is because there is no truth, no mercy and no knowledge of God in the land.

4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.

You can't strive with a priest. This is how Facebook and Youtube act, they will suspend your account, there is no redress, no opportunity to appeal, no explanation. They act like they represent God.

5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.

The USA needs to take this warning to heart. You can't stop the judgment on the USA, you can't stop what is coming to Washington DC, NYC, and other places in the US. But you can repent, confess, turn to the Lord and be washed by the blood. You don't need to be judged with the same judgment that these liars, thieves and murderers will be judged with. This is the only holiday that takes place in the night.

6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

We are not simply talking about politicians, bankers and people on Wall Street. We are also talking about the apostasy, organized religion, OSAS, and the prosperity gospel. Christmas is the perfect illustration, look at the mixture in this holiday. There are beautiful hymns of praise and worship, there are wonderful stories from the gospels, and that is why every believer loves this. But there is also crass commercialism, pagan myths, magic, lies, mockery, and many traditions that have nothing to do with the Bible or Jesus' birth. December 25th and the winter solstice is tied to Nimrod and the Antichrist, not to Jesus. Santa is an anagram for Satan. When they call it Xmas it simply means they have forgotten God.

7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

"Their glory" here refers to the apostasy. After the rapture their glory will be turned to shame. Their scam will be revealed and they will be reviled by everyone, hated by those deceived, and most likely killed as a result.

8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.

I think this has to refer to these pastors of mega churches and tele evangelists.

9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

 

[ZNP]

The Whore of Babylon

Hosea 2:1 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.

Say to them "the Lord's people" and "have obtained mercy". In other words, preach the gospel of forgiveness of sins and salvation from the world. This is a direct contradiction to Hyper Calvinists teachings.

2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

The apostate church is a "whore". Where do these mega churches get all this money from? They are sell outs like Balaam and Judas. They exchange the Lord for a bag of silver, they betray the Lord and teach Balak how to put a stumbling block of fornication before the church.

3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.

This is what happens at the start of the tribulation. Peter tells us that judgment must begin at the house of God. There is not going to be any judgment on the world until after the church is judged. Some will be taken in the rapture, some will be left behind, but the false prophets like Judas will suffer death. They will be stripped naked and fully exposed. Everyone will blame them. Some because they were scammed by them, others because they rejected the Lord and the Bible because of them.

4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.

There is a terrible thought in Christianity that "numbers" imply a powerful ministry.

5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.

The FreeMasons, the Jesuits, and many others are on the board of directors of these churches directing them on which way to go.

6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.

Thorns indicate sins. Tax fraud, fornication, adultery, child abuse, pedophilia, etc. We have seen so many of these so called priests and pastors caught up in sins and completely lost as to where the path of righteousness is.

7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.

They will discover that these "benefactors" who contributed money to control the church despise the church. They know that you are a hypocrite. You claim that Jesus is Lord and yet they give you a little money and you will do whatever they say.

8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.

There are numerous testimonies on the internet of former Satanists and witches and people in the occult that many priests and Bishops were in there with them worshipping these occult gods like Baal.

9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness. 10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.

We should all confess our sins, repent and plead the blood. If you do this of your own volition the cost is far less than if the Lord strips you naked for everyone to see.

11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.

"Her" refers to the apostate church that left the Lord and is a whore. This is the "whore of Babylon".

Here are names of Gods throughout history that were said to have been born by a virgin on 25th December.

HORUS
An Ethiopian-Sudanese God, born 25th December, by a Virgin around 3,000 YEARS before Jesus.

BUDDHA
A Nepal God, born 25th December, by a Virgin around 563 YEARS before Jesus.

KRISHNA
An Indian God, born 25th December, by a Virgin around 900 YEARS before Jesus.

ZARATHUSTRA
An Iranian God, born 25th December, by a Virgin around 1,000 YEARS before Jesus.

HERCULES
A Greek God, born 25th December, by a Virgin around 800 YEARS before Jesus.

MITHRA
A Persian God, born 25th December, by a Virgin- 600 YEARS before Jesus.

DIONYSUS
A Greek God, born 25th December, by a Virgin around 500 YEARS before Jesus.

THAMMUZ
A Babylonian God, born 25th December, by a Virgin around 400 YEARS before Jesus.

HERMES
A Greek God, born 25th December, by a Virgin around 200 YEARS before Jesus.

ADONIS
A Phoenician God, born 25th December, by a Virgin around 200 YEARS before Jesus.

The apostate church has her own feast days, new moons, sabbaths, and solemn feasts. For example the Advent season before "Christmas" and Lent before Easter. At the time of the rapture the Lord does away with all this. However, "songs of mirth" would not refer to Lent or even to most of the year. However, it would refer to Advent season and Christmas. Think of all the Christmas songs that do not talk about Jesus, those are songs of mirth. This is the first thing that is caused to cease, and this word "cease" is like a candle either going out or being snuffed out. Since it says that God will cause, I suspect the candle is burning when it is put out by the rapture. Candles are associated with both Hanukkah and the pagan celebration of Christmas.

The "whore of Babylon" is also said to have had a baby on December 25th. Christmas is officially a feast day and a solemn feast day for the apostate church. This may be the first solemn feast day of the apostate church to cease after the rapture. The current mythology of Santa coming down the chimney mirrors the Lord's word that He would come as a thief in the night. The other very big indication of when the rapture will be is "when they say peace and security then sudden destruction comes upon them". They said peace and security on December 26th when the USSR collapsed. If you were going to cause judgment to fall on the materialistic church December 25th would be the ideal day.

Romans 8:1-30 -- A Christmas story

The Gift of Christ Jesus

1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

It is fascinating to me that there are two distinct variations here, those that live according to the flesh and those who live according to the Spirit. No where is that more evident than in the celebration of Christmas for Christians versus the celebration of Xmas for non Christians. We have seen the “battle to put Christ back into Christmas”. This festival reveals those who have the mind of the spirit versus those who have the mind of the flesh.

5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

Once again, there are those whose mind is on the flesh. You have Christmas parties, gifts, and all kinds of ads to get you to buy stuff you don’t need. On the other hand you have beautiful Christmas plays and pageants, beautiful hymns of praise, candle light services and many other examples of those who are celebrating with the mind set on the Spirit. In this festival you are in the Spirit and Spirit is in you.

9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. 12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

This holiday comes with an obligation. I have always been against the commercial aspects and worldly aspects of this holiday. Yet even so there is an obligation on you because your children will not understand and will think that being a Christian means you are stingy and cheap. So I have always given gifts to my children, I just don’t pretend that there is a “Santa”, I don’t watch the most egregious children’s Christmas shows with reindeer and Santa, and I try to purge the celebration from the demands of the flesh. I find it interesting that “Santa” is merely a rearrangement of the word “Satan”. The story is a lie and they try to force parents to lie to their children and then have children equate this lie with the Bible. If Santa flying around in a sleigh is a lie that was told to you by people you trusted, what about the rapture? It is an evil poison designed to inoculate young children from believing and receiving the gospel. However, according to the Spirit there is an obligation to treat others with love and charity during this time. We even call it “the Christmas spirit”.

The adoption to sonship = rapture of the overcomers

14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God Are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Christmas is a holiday for children. My parents really went all out, I would be up at the crack of dawn and sure enough something had happened from the night before. New gifts were there and the stockings were filled. Those gifts testified that you were children of your parents and heirs. The rapture is a testimony that all who are raptured are children of God and co heirs with God. This term “adoption” refers to a legal declaration that you are heir to the father’s business. This is a big deal in families where a father has a great business. Some children of the father may find themselves disqualified from being heirs, that is sad, but it happens. At the rapture some will be left behind, they will get a second chance but it will still be sad. As it says in Amos if you are not raptured on that day it will be a bitter day for you. Your singing will turn to mourning.

The idea of Santa in the middle of the night coming down chimneys and giving gifts is the photographic negative of Jesus Christ rapturing all the overcomers who are likened to a treasure and the rapture to the Lord coming as a thief (by coming down the chimney?). In the world those the world despises will very often turn out to be the ones the Lord treasures. The “Cinderella” that does all the work so the evil sisters can go to all the balls. Imagine waking up on this Christmas day and instead of finding gifts under your tree you find all those who were doing all the work have been taken.

18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

Christmas is all about wearing brand new Christmas clothes. There is a glorious celebration and children wait in eager expectation for this day. In the rapture we are “liberated from the bondage of decay”. He doesn’t just say “believers” but rather “creation”. What about our pets? If you were raptured what would happen to your dog or cat? Creation is waiting eagerly because they all will be liberated from decay.

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

This is the hope of the gospel. The rapture is likened to the birth of the manchild. Once again Paul is talking about the hope that we wait for patiently, just like we had to wait each year for Christmas.

Pray for what we ought versus the “letter to Santa”.

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

Another part of this religious festival is that kids are to write a letter to Santa praying for things they want. This can be fleshly or it can be spiritual with the Spirit interceding for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

These are the things we need. We need to be conformed to the image of His Son, we need to know the firstborn Son of God and we need to be born again to be the children of God. We need to be called, we need to be justified, and after all that we need to be glorified. Again, the rapture is the glorification of those who have been born again, called and justified.

Romans 8:31-39 A festival of Gifts

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

This is another aspect of this holiday. “Santa knows whose been naughty and nice”. There is a judgement on this holiday. There are those who get “coal in stocking” signifying the fires of hell. But for others God “gives them all things”. The best gift is Jesus but with Jesus we also get all things.

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

This is a holiday that is all about the love of God. But it is also about conquering through Him who loved us. Conquering what? A major story is “the Christmas Carol” that talks about scrooge getting a new heart. This was then turned into a cartoon with “How the Grinch stole Christmas” by Dr. Seuss. This is a holiday where we conquer selfishness and greed and it speaks to the New Covenant where God gives us a new heart, a heart of flesh.

 

[ZNP]

Paul does not need to tell us when Christmas is.

1 Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

When God declares a holy day everyone knows when it is, no one needs to tell you. Does anyone on earth not know about Christmas?

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

This is the holiday that comes like a thief in the night. Santa sneaks into your house by coming down the chimney. He comes in the middle of the night. Supposedly he is coming to bring you gifts, but in reality he is exchanging the blessings of God for junk from the Mall.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

This holiday has the catchphrase "peace and good will to all" and is also celebrating the sudden birth of a child.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

An interesting analogy here, we usually have a Christmas eve service around 6pm, if you are at that service you are worshipping the Lord.

5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Children of the darkness are waiting for Santa, an anagram for Satan, while children of the Light are worshipping Jesus the Messiah who has already come. Those in darkness are looking for a Messiah to come.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

To watch and be sober is related to the night. We have night watchmen, not day watchmen. This is the only holiday that is celebrated at night.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

This holiday is also filled with debauchery, and pagan worship.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

They exchange myths for faith, Christmas spirit for love, and hope of gifts for hope of salvation.

Satan himself is transformed into Santa, an angel of light

13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Santa is a story about how Satan transforms himself into an angel of light. I was helping out in children's ministry this weekend and I was reading this book to some very young children, one page in the book was about Halloween, so I told the kids I would skip that page because I don't like Halloween. One of the little girls told me that Halloween was good. I asked her why? She said because you get a bag of candy. Do not be deceived, children get sucked into Christmas and then feel like the church and the Bible deceived them when they realize they were deceived. They equate the holiday to the church even if the church never mentions Santa, reindeer, or all the other pagan rituals.

AntiChrist is a counterfeit to Christ.

Santa is a counterfeit to Jesus

Visiting every home in one night and delivering gifts is a counterfeit to the rapture

The letter to Santa is a counterfeit to prayer

He knows if you've been good or bad is a counterfeit to the omnisicient God.

Getting coal in your stocking is a counterfeit to eternal damnation and hellfire.

The flying sleigh is a counterfeit to the chariot of Elijah

Living at the North Pole is a counterfeit to Jesus in the heavens.

Jesus Christ is Lord, all things are under His sovereignty, the reason that Christmas is such a big holiday in the US (not so much in many other countries) is because of His sovereignty. Therefore it is perfectly reasonable to look at this holy day and the songs of mirth associated with it, all being part of the apostasy, but also being part of the Lord's sovereignty to us. It was the Lord who likened His coming to a "thief in the night". This is because He knew the vast majority of people would not be raptured prior to the tribulation (70th week).

Christmas

21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

This is not a NT or even an OT feast. It belongs to the apostate church.

22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

Yes, it is true that apostate churches will have big, beautiful services with "Holy Night" and "Hark the Herald Angles Sing" with a beautiful choir.

23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

But God rejects all that.

24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

These are the weighty things of the law.

25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

The apostate church wants you to believe that the Christmas tree, and all of the trimmings are not important, what is important is that they are remembering Jesus birth. But God does not see it that way.

26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

That star on the tree, that is the star of their god. That angel on the tree, that is their images. That tree, that is a symbol of the Babylonian religion. The apostate church justifies a mixture because that is the only way they will even lift the name of Jesus. But if you put poison into a gold cup the gold does not make it safe to drink the poison. If you wrap up a poisonous snake with Christmas paper that doesn't make the snake less poisonous. Christmas involves worship, it involves carrying this burden, and it isn't for the Lord, it is for the idolatrous gods you worship.

Judgment on the Main Stream Media

1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.

This word for rumor means report, news. This chapter begins with the Lord telling Obadiah (“servant of the Lord”) to rise up and stand against Edom in battle. So then, who is Edom? He is the twin brother of Jacob who became Israel. Israelites are called “the people of the book”. To us has been entrusted the word of God. That would have been Edom’s birthright but he sold it for a pot of beans. Think of Israel as God’s press secretary and Edom as the press. Imagine someone who pretends to speak for God but they have sold their birthright for money, fame, and power. They sit in Walter Cronkite’s seat, and this book begins with the Lord telling the believers to arise and take a stand against CNN and MSNBC and the other mainstream news media.

2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.

At the time of Walter Cronkite they were highly regarded but today they are despised. What has happened? They lied about the JFK assassination, they lied about 911, they lied about weapons of mass destruction, and they lied about the Covid pandemic. With each major lie more and more servants of the Lord were told to rise up and take a stand against those lies.

3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

Think of how proud these news anchors are and others as well like Steven Colbert. They make multi million dollar salaries and they think the world listens to every word they say as though it is the gospel truth. They told us Hillary Clinton would win by 12 points. How arrogant to think they could manipulate an election like that. They told us that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Did they really think the truth would never come out?

4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.

Today we call Hollywood actors “stars” and Colbert definitely sets his nest among the stars. Do you remember him with his dancing syringes pushing the vaccine, or when he tried to mock Mike Lindell for questioning the integrity of elections? The Lord will bring these ones down. CNN’s ratings, MSNBC’s ratings, they are all in the toilet. Some anchors are being fired, others are being laid off, and still others are having their salaries cut dramatically.

Putin calls for a duel

She said there is going to be a missile challenge with the US and Russia and as a result Russia will fire the Satan rocket. She did not give the year and yet here is Russia challenging the US to a missile challenge --

Does anyone really think this will last another year?

This is very important because it confirms that from AD 30 God no longer accepted the sacrifice on the Day of Atonement. However, I disagree with his conclusion that Jesus was crucified in AD 30, rather I believe this confirms that Jesus was crucified in AD 31 and that six months earlier the Jews rejected the Messiah and Jesus declared they had committed the unforgiveable sin and that they would get the sign of Jonah, 40 years or warning.
