I have shared this before but I want to point out a few things. If you download this to a flash drive it will be a powerful left behind letter. After the rapture there will probably be a three week blackout before the internet comes back up with a full censorship and control from the Antichrist. Think of all those people who are completely locked into their phones, TV and internet. If that goes down they will have three weeks and will want to know what is going on. Having this (and it includes a KJV Bible) will allow them to really dig into this for the three weeks. If you make a few copies and put them on flash drives Antichrist and his minions will not be able to track this. We should all have left behind letters and Bibles.

One thing about this is that it demonstrates that for years many believers were watching and warning and that those who were left behind simply ignored the prophecies and the signs. It also will demonstrate that value in reading and studying the Bible as a light to their path during the tribulation.

False Prophets

It seems everyone is going to need to know this and to be able to discern false prophets during the tribulation. This Pdf is 32 pages on this subject. I kept it to false prophets and didn't get into discerning liars, I thought that would make it too long. This Pdf is the 15 posts on False prophets in this blog.

Here is the Pdf on the evidence that the rapture is the last day of Adar

Everything Points to the last day of Adar

Everyone has been warned and should be prepared.

1. You want black plastic and duct tape to tape up the windows of your home during the three days of darkness.

2. You need enough candles for the three days but an oil lamp would be better.

3. You need something to read for those three days. I would recommend a King James Bible. I will also include Pdfs of this blog, but any good spiritual book that you trust, could be a biography of a man of God. I would focus on prayer and fasting for the three days, but you can also probably read two or three biographies during this time as well.

4. Plenty of bottled water.

Make sure everything is fully charged. When you see the dancing lights you have a few more hours to get the stuff charged up.

It would probably be advisable at this time to put up signs that say "Jesus Christ is Lord and King of this house" and tape them to the doors and windows when you see the dancing lights. This will keep demons and fallen angels away. Also it is very likely that the darkness will begin at 12 noon Jerusalem time. So you can use that to guesstimate how much time you have.

If you are new to this blog

These are Pdfs anyone can download of all my posts.

251 Bible verses on that describe when the rapture is

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DD4uTLBu6cPeOQFYYQYmrocCzAWzRLiI/view?usp=sharing

We always hear that no one knows when the rapture will be. Of course the Lord never
said no one knows the year or the season, just the day and the hour. But suppose that
verse means “no one verse knows”. You see you can get one verse in Hosea that does
point to the year and you can get one verse in Amos that does point to the season and
one verse in Jeremiah that does point to the season. Now imagine each of these 108
Bible verses tell us something, none of them tell us “the day or the hour” but they each
narrow down the possible days and hours. In other words they could be a filter
removing days and hours that don’t fit.

This is a Pdf that discusses how to discern a false prophet, it also discusses several key verses on the timing of the rapture as well as Ken Peters dream, the writing on the Wall sign and a few other relevant points about thanksgiving, and the Pact for the Future.

Writing on the Wall Sign

Here is a summary of what I posted on this blog concerning the Writing on the Wall sign along with what I have shared on Daniel.

A Letter to those left behind after the rapture

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dM18beTF9Jka3w8XUk10ARkI-cYnltH5/view?usp=sharing

I based most of my letter on the Gospel according to Mark and the Book of Acts.

We are at war -- our enemies are already destroying our communications satellites.

Because of this the internet could go down at any time.

Therefore I expect this forum and especially this blog will be censored and unavailable. After the rapture the internet, TV and radio will all go dark for about 3 weeks, and when it comes back up it will be run by quantum computers giving the Antichrist total control over what everyone can see. As a result I have created these Pdfs. I recommend you download them to a computer or flash drive. This is not because of my interpretation of the word but rather because these all are filled with the word of God. If you are using an online Bible you will greatly appreciate having something like this. Plus, for those who are newly saved it will be an example of how you can read the Bible. I think it will give you something you can read during those three weeks and can help fill you with faith for anyone who is left behind.

We have a few thousand new visitors since the last time I posted these. These are here for anyone to download. In a very short time frame the internet will be fully censored of material on the Bible.

Index of Bible References volumes 1-5

I would have done this for all of them but ran out of time. However, it does help those who are interested in a particular verse to find the verse and what is said about it. One reason I did this was so I could look for verses that had not been referenced.

For those who love the Lord's appearing

This is only for those who love the Lord's appearing. It is quite similar to the recent Pdfs I have posted but I have added a few things so that it is now 94 pages.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xJTvILxnEKuTJwly7GevmvogKQOkYSNq/view?usp=sharing

Anyway, do not read this if you are one of those servants that

Finally, I have been locked out of this Gmail account where these are all posted. So I suspect very shortly these will be taken down as well. However, I have accessed them this morning so they are still up. But at the moment you can download them.

Who is the Great Babylon

This Pdf goes through every verse in the New Testament and many in the Old referring to Babylon. I see which of the various interpretations fit. The main three are: Israel, Vatican and the US, though I also see if England fits any. I used to subscribe to the teaching of Darby and Watchman Nee on this, however, everyone should know that when they taught the US was not a superpower, Hollywood and Multinational corporations did not exist (true for Darby, Watchman Nee was around at the time of silent movies). The pandemic had not taken place and the apostasy in the US had not taken place. You could not compare the US to Sodom and Gomorrah at the time of Darby or Watchman Nee.

Everyone should realize that the internet is about to go down, full censorship will be imposed when it comes back up. Therefore I have been putting my blog onto Pdf files. They are free to download. Go to Post #13,510 to get all the Pdfs.

I do not understand why people are in a panic. Elam's bow will be broken, that is a prophecy from God and it refers to the Missiles in Iran. The US is the Great mystery Babylon and they will be judged in a single hour. Again, this is not a matter of debate. If you don't see it then pray to God for wisdom. Daniel 9:27 about the seven year covenant being confirmed with the many was done during the Feast of Trumpets in 2024. We shared all this. You should not assume that the 70th week begins then, because the 70th week begins on Nisan 1 and Daniel 9:27 is fulfilled on Tishrei 1, six months heads up. I have shared all this on this blog. When the rapture takes place Jesus will flip the table of the money changers, so again, I have shared this, so no reason to be in a panic I have already explained this on this blog. The Lord has prophesied all of this ahead of times to us. The rapture will be victorious for Esther and those who are raptured and for those who are not it will be the crucifixion with them crying out "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Again, Paul told us this when he said that if we are buried in baptism in the likeness of the Lord's death then we will also be raised in the likeness of His resurrection. Those who have taken up their cross, followed the Lord and been buried in the likeness of His death will be raised. I have shared all of this on this blog. So I do not see any reason why anyone on this blog should now be in a panic, you have been fully advised concerning what is going on and what is about to happen. I posted links from Vicki Goforth Parnell telling you the cities on the coasts that would be hit by suitcase nukes. Instead of frying the entire electrical grid with an EMP they are going to take out 10 electrical substations or more to bring down the grid in a way they can quickly bring it back up when they want it. I have also advised everyone to be at least 100 miles from the coastline as we are anticipating huge Tsunamis, either from an asteroid or from nuclear poseidon torpedos. Either way 100 miles gives you a good lead to run in the event. Personally I would prefer to be 200 miles from the coast because after the tsunamis 180 million refugees will be pouring into the non affected areas. They will probably be walking 20 miles a day, so two weeks later you will see them 200 miles inland, though by that time it will be much less than the initial 180 million. If cars don't work I'd use a bicycle. You can probably travel 40 miles a day by bicycle.

Anyway everyone has been warned for several years to brace themselves so by now I would think everyone on this blog is fully braced.

2 Thessalonians 3:1b pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. 2 And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

You know very well

In the last 12 months The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq 100 are up about 5%, basically keeping pace with inflation while Gold is up 40%. This means that everyone is dumping the US dollar and moving to gold. The only reason the big indexes are not down is because of stupid money, 401k contributions every two weeks. You are being robbed blind. Like Paul said the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night.

Why is it that we know this perfectly well? Because we ourselves have been robbed by them, just look at your own experience. Look at Social security, look at the waste and fraud of the US government, look at the mortgage meltdown of 2008. It was absolutely criminal and yet not a single person from the US went to jail.

1 Thessalonians 5:2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

Do not worry

I see a lot of people in a panic over the start of this war. We don't need to worry about worthless shepherds who have sold us to be killed.

1 Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

The Lord has paid our ransom.

Another reason why I hate OSAS

1 Timothy 2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

Obviously this use of the word saved does not mean saved from hell. It is not the same as the salvation we get from the blood of Jesus washing away our sins. But when you listen to Christianity many will only understand the word "saved" in terms of eternal salvation from hell based on the redeeming work of Jesus on the cross. So they keep hammering on that truth while forcing everyone to ignore all the other truths in the Bible. No one wants to live a shipwrecked life. No one wants to end up miserable, alone, and bitter. To walk in faith, love, holiness with sobriety will avoid all those pitfalls.

I love this expression "holiness with sobriety". Have you ever known someone who was "holy" but extremely obnoxious about it like someone who is an obnoxious drunk? Some people are obnoxious about their faith, or their love or their holiness. They are like a loud, obnoxious drunk. Then when their husband leaves them they are bitter, nothing was their fault, no accountability, no reflection.

Also think about being saved "in childbearing". Wow, that sounds like something that would absolutely trigger a feminist. So what is a feminist? Basically it is a woman who does not like the idea of men having authority over a woman, so they want to have authority over a man. It is also quite typical of feminists to disparage housewives and mothers who take their job of childbearing very serious. But I remember one woman I knew who was filled with authority, she inspired awe in me. She had two children and while raising them also went to school for her master's degree. Her ability to raise well behaved mature children demonstrated her authority and that authority impacted everyone around her. Most people are children. When you were around her you immediately snapped to attention but at the same time she always gave honor to her husband. In the home meetings he was always very quiet, but she testified to his love for her and the family.

If you bring this up with someone in Christianity they will immediately say they understand all this. OK, so explain to me why 50% of the people in Christianity are divorced?

Clear up the confusion about the Jubilee year and the rapture

The rapture is not on the Jubilee year. It is absolutely not Biblical to say that it is.

1. The 70th week in Daniel refers to the last seven years of this age. A strong case can be made that this seven year period begins after the rapture. One way to look at this is that the dispensation known as the church age ends with the rapture and the dispensation to Israel known as the 70th week in Daniel will then begin. So then if you understand how a jubilee year is calculated you would then know that the year before the 70th week of years is not a jubilee year. Every seven weeks of years, or every 49 years makes up a group of seven weeks of years, the very next year, the fiftieth year, is the year of jubilee. However, a jubilee year is also the first year of the next cycle of seven weeks of years. So the next jubilee year is not the 100th year, it is the 99th year. Ten sets of seven weeks of years would be 70 weeks of years. That is 490 years and the jubilee year would be the next year, the 491st year. Therefore the rapture is on the last year of the 69th week. Jesus was crucified, resurrected and ascended during the 69th week and the entire church age is viewed as the 69th week ending also with a rapture. So no one before the seven years starts or during the seven years that is caught up to heaven is raptured during the jubilee year.

2. During a jubilee year you do not harvest the crops. The seventieth week is described in great detail in the book of Revelation and it is described as multiple harvests. You have the firstfruits, the general harvest and the gleanings. None of those harvests take place during a jubilee year.

3. The year that Israel entered the good land was a jubilee year and every jubilee year afterwards was an anniversary of that. When Israel entered the good land everyone entered, that means it was not the rapture prior to the seven years because not everyone is taken at that time. It is only when everyone enters in that it is the jubilee year and that will be the start of the Millennial kingdom.

4. 70 weeks of years has a very significant meaning. Jesus said you are to forgive 70x7 times. 70 weeks of years is 70x7 years. That is 490 years. The church age where the gospel went to the four corners of the earth began in 70AD when the temple was destroyed and the church was dispersed. 490 years for forgiveness x 4 for the four corners of the earth is 1,960 years. If we begin with 70 AD then 2030 AD will be when that period of grace where they can receive forgiveness comes to an end. We see this in Revelation where the angel preaches the eternal gospel because the gospel of grace has ended. I suspect this takes place one year before Armageddon because once this period of grace is over then the judgment will come on the earth. That would mean that Armageddon would be in 2031 during the 9th of Av. That cannot be the year of Jubilee. Besides, the Jubilee begins in the Month of Nisan. That would mean that the month of Nisan in 2032 is when the Jubilee year begins. That means the 70th week begins in Nisan, 2025.

Revelation 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

There is a common teaching in Christianity that this takes place after the rapture. They say that when John is called up into heaven in chapter 4 that this depicts the rapture. The problem is that the Spirit is the "earnest of our inheritance" and it was poured out on Pentecost. This document tells us what our inheritance is and they would never give you the earnest of your inheritance until the inheritance has been opened. No one will be "raptured" if they are not filled with the Spirit, which is the earnest of their inheritance. So they teach that you are raptured before the inheritance and before you receive the earnest of your inheritance. Obviously a bogus doctrine easily debunked. Instead, Paul teaches us that when Jesus rose from the dead He took with Him a train of vanquished foes to heaven and that after He opened this inheritance He gave gifts to men. Ephesians and Colossians both tell us the church is seated together with Christ in the heavens. Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God the Father because He is Lord of all, and that scroll that He opened is the inheritance that made Him Lord of all. The rapture does not take place prior to the first seal being opened, rather the rapture is the sixth seal being opened. The raptured saints are those who take the gospel to the ends of the earth (white horse), they are those involved in spiritual warfare (red horse), they feed people who are starving for the word of God (black horse) and they heal people of their diseases (pale green horse). During the church age we have had many martyrs beginning with Stephen and these martyrs are crying out to the Lord to judge and avenge their blood, that is the fifth seal. Will we see all of this during the seven year tribulation? Yes. But it isn't new, we have seen all of this for the entire church age.
