Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

doing some research on May 14th rapture

Pdf's you can download. It has been more than two weeks since I last posted this. Since that time we have had about 14,000 new people visit this blog for the first time. After the rapture they will shut down the entire internet for a few days and when it comes back up everything will have changed, it will now be under their full control using quantum computers and AI to surveil what is being posted. Now is the time to download this to a Pdf and put it on a flash drive.

Look Up, Your redemption draws near (Volume 11).

These volumes are 400 page Pdfs that compile the posts of this blog. I don't know when the Lord will return, but if it isn't this weekend I will likely begin work on editing these 11 volumes into a variety of books on different topics. I don't view these volumes as books but just a collection of my notes.

Left Behind letter

I have shared this before but we have had about 14,000 new visitors since the last time I shared this.

If you download these Pdfs 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.

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

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.

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.

Take heed to yourselves, part 4

22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

The word and again connects this to what He has already shared. So far He has told us it is our duty to rebuke sin, that if we have faith in the name of Jesus we can say to the apostasy to be rooted up and cast into the sea and that this will not happen instantly, the Lord is going to savor all the insults and mocking that they do. In addition to all this the days will come when we want to see one of the days of the Son of Man and we won't see it.

23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

There will be a temptation. There will be those who are trying to turn you aside. Think of this as a marathon race. He is telling you it will be exhausting, you will feel like you have hit the wall, many will be telling you to turn aside, don't do it.

24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

The Lord is going to strike like lightning in His day. We need to be like this. I have referred to boxers several times in this blog. I talked about Muhammed Ali, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson, and others. But so far I never mentioned the greatest heavyweight of all, Rocky Marciano. He wasn't the tallest, wasn't the strongest, wasn't the most skilled. But he was 49-0 and he had the highest knock out percentage of any heavyweight. What he had that no one else could ever match was toughness. His daily workouts were legendary. Many famous athletes tried to workout with him for a day and then said "never again". What other boxers said was not only was he hitting you with power, but the number of hits was like a flood and it never stopped for the whole fight. Other fighters will be gassed by the 8th round. This guy was still hitting you with the same power, the same number of punches in the fifteenth round as he was in the first.

25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

Many have commented that the one thing that Rocky Marciano had that all the other fighters didn't was a mind to suffer. He knew he couldn't be the strongest, fastest, biggest, or most skilled in the ring. So the one thing he could do was to be the toughest. He knew whenever he was suffering he was getting tougher. Also, it is essential that Jesus be rejected of this generation. Many don't understand that aspect of the gospel. When you preach the gospel it is just as effective on those that reject it as those that receive it. You cannot be judged with how you responded to the gospel unless you have heard the gospel. I want the Lord to return in glory, but first people need a chance to hear the gospel and either receive it or reject it.

26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

This is a big prophecy. Noah was a preacher of righteousness and they rejected him. It would not have been righteous for the flood to come and wash them all away unless they had had a chance to receive the gospel first.

27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

Think about that. They chose their boring, ordinary, predictable lives over the life that the Lord offers. Think of how extraordinary it must have been to build that ark, to fill it with the animals, and then to go through the flood. Everyone on earth knows about Noah, no one has the faintest clue about the people who were mocking him and ridiculing him. They are a trivial footnote to human history. Noah is one of the most extraordinary people in human history and now we learn we also can have a life like that and experiences like that. Imagine the fools who are exchanging the offer of something so extraordinary to live these boring, forgettable lives.

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

It is all vanity, can you see that? When fire fell what happened to those buildings they built? They were incinerated to ash. What happened to those fields they planted? Incinerated to ash. Our life will end up as ashes, everyone knows that, the gospel is offering us a chance to live an extraordinary life, why would anyone turn that down to hold onto ashes?

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 32 Remember Lot's wife.

In the book of Matthew I would say this refers to the Antichrist putting the abomination of desolation in the Holy Place. But this is Luke, the agenda is to the church raptured before the seven year period known as the seventieth week. So here I think the reference is to the apostate church. There will be many Christians caught by surprise by the rapture. The rapture will coincide with cataclysmic disasters. However, this indicates you will see it coming. Perhaps you have five minutes to flee. Forget a car, forget going back to your house, just run. In five minutes you can run a mile. So if a Tsunami were coming a five minute warning would probably be enough to get to higher ground a mile away from the coast. If a suitcase nuke goes off a mile would probably be enough to get far enough away to not be poisoned by the radioactive fallout.

Take heed to yourself, part 5

31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

This chapter began with Jesus telling us to take heed to ourselves that we rebuke sin. We are charged and warned that we need to forgive those who repent and that it is our duty to rebuke sin. We are encouraged that regardless how big the evil network is, if we tell it to be rooted up and cast into the sea in the name of Jesus it will be done. However, do not expect that prayer to be answered immediately, the Lord will savor the mocking and scoffing, just as Caleb said the giants are our food. The Lord added that this will be spiritual warfare, you need a mind to suffer, you need to endure to the end, and you need to beware all the deceit and deception the enemy will throw your way. Jesus then encourages us by reminding us how foolish it would be to embrace all these things that are vanity. When the flood comes they are gone, when the fire falls they are ash. Instead focus on extraordinary people like Noah, that you too could aspire to be a man of faith. But now we come to "in that day". The chapter that begins with "take heed to yourself" concludes with "In that day".

32 Remember Lot's wife.

We should aspire to be Noah, a man of faith listed in Hebrews 11. But we should be warned of Lot's wife and we should remember her. She became a pillar of salt. Our speech should be seasoned with this salt, this warning. She was Lot's wife, she left Sodom with Lot and his two daughters when everyone else mocked and scoffed. But in her heart she loved the things of Sodom. On the one hand we need to be single in our focus. Yes, we preach the gospel that some might be saved. In the end it is their choice, we are not looking to stay in Sodom. Lot found the angels in the gate of the city. This indicates he was a leader in the city, the gate of the city is like town hall. But when it was time to leave he dropped all that and left. Perhaps his wife liked the status of being Lot's wife, perhaps she liked the things she had or her friends. We are warned to keep our eye single and to guard our heart. Lot's wife is an example of someone whose eye was not single and who did not guard her heart. Now you can't consider Lot to be one of those who are raptured because he is a good Christian and not consider that his wife and daughters also went with him every week to church. Remembering Lot's wife is a clear warning to people who go to church every week.

33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

Do you see how all of this ties into the Lord telling us to "take heed to thyself"? Why do people balk at rebuking sin? Could it be they want to save their own life? Why would rebuking sin be equated to losing your life? Think of a whistleblower. He is rebuking the sins of a great big corporation or government. They will try to destroy him. They will destroy his reputation, they'll try to bankrupt him, publicly shame him, and attack him in many ways. However, if you see that the corporation you are working with is committing evil, and you seek to save your life by keeping quiet, then you shall go down with the ship when it ultimately sinks. On the other hand if you discover this and become a whistleblower, you may go through a terrible battle, but when that ship sinks you will watch it go down from a lifeboat, having saved your own life.

34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

This "one bed" is a reference to a couch where they would eat food. Imagine you are at a restaurant with your coworkers, one is taken, the other is left. Better yet, imagine you are sitting in a pew at church, one is taken and the other is left.

35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

The Lord is hammering home the point that when He comes some will be eating and drinking, some will be planting and building. But here a woman who is grinding at the mill is often likened to the one who is studying the word of God and preparing a sermon. So we can easily relate this to the two who are sitting in the pew and the two who are preaching the word.

36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

The field is also used frequently to refer to the work of evangelism. You might think the Lord is simply being redundant, saying what he said about Noah and Lot again. Or you might think that after saying "remember Lot's wife" He is expounding even more. Lot's wife could refer to the pastors wife, or the evangelists wife, or the wife of the one sitting in the pew. If this were the only warning in the entire Bible of judgment on the apostasy I could understand people rejecting this. But the warning of apostasy is woven throughout the entire scripture from Cain and Abel, to Noah and all those who mocked, to Lot and all those in Sodom and Gomorrah, to Joseph and his brothers. In Exodus we see it again. It is more discreet, but the rapture is depicted in the plague of darkness that can be felt. All those who left Egypt after Passover depicted the left behind saints. They were following two pillars, the pillar of fire and the pillar of cloud. Those two pillars were the raptured saints, just as Samson pushing out the two pillars depicted the rapture. In Numbers the raptured saints are depicted by Joshua and Caleb while all those listening to the spies with the evil report depict the left behind in the apostasy. Likewise you can see the apostasy in the rebellion of Absalom and the rebellion of Adonijah. The book of Ruth depicts the left behind saints in the apostasy as being those who are believers coming back to Israel from Moab (one of the son's of Lot) at the time of the rapture. The book of Job depicts the left behind saints as made perfect by the blood of Jesus but because they were self righteous and arrogant the hedge of protection was removed and they had to go through the seven year tribulation to be humbled. Likewise all the prophets speak directly to the apostasy and the left behind. The book of Jeremiah is especially focused on the left behind saints with the book of Lamentations being the "weeping and gnashing of teeth in the outer darkness" of those left behind. Hosea compares the apostasy to an adulterous wife. This term "the other left" indicates the other is divorced. Clearly a reference to the apostate church and also to the OT where God says He has divorced Israel. The church is the Israel of God, we are also sons of Abraham, and so the OT is a shadow of what we are today. That includes the apostasy.

Take heed to yourself, part 6

37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord?

Isn't that a stunning question? If you are not asking where then you are not following what the Lord was saying. We know where Armageddon is going to be, we know where the Holy Place that the Antichrist puts the abomination of desolation is going to be, but did you realize we should also know where the rapture will be? That seems contrary to established doctrine that Christians all over the world and infants will be raptured. That is true. But when fire fell on Sodom and Gomorrah it was a very specific place that was hit. Jericho was built again, but not Sodom and Gomorrah, they were never rebuilt. So the question is where will this apostate church be when the rapture takes place and fire falls to devour this "Sodom and Gomorrah"?

And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

Once again, this verse is very different in Matthew. In Matthew it refers to the lightning falling in the East and shining to the West. That is a reference to the Iraq war when CNN first covered the war giving us real time images of the "lightning falling" using fiber optic cables and satellite communication. So, the light did shine all the way to the West at the speed of light.

But here it is referring to where two will be sitting in a pew, one taken, one left. Two will be preparing a message, one taken, one left. And two will be in the gospel field, one taken and one left. That does not describe the UK, in the UK I have heard as little as 1% go to church. I have also heard that in most of these countries they have never heard of the rapture. It is not a doctrine that is taught everywhere.

No, this warning is to "Lot's wife". She expects to be taken. The only place today where you would expect a lot of people to be sitting in pews, a lot of people to be grinding at the mill to prepare the word of God and a lot of people working in the gospel field is the US. For example, Gideon's international is a evangelistic ministry based in the US that has distributed 2.6 billion bibles. That is far and away the most distributed by any evangelistic organization, however, the second most is also a ministry based in the US that works with student athletes.

Now consider this, from 2017 to 2024 three solar eclipses traversed the United States. For that to happen is extremely rare and probably the first time it has happened in human history (the last six thousand years since Adam). But what is even more strange is that those three eclipses traced out the letters Aleph Tav, two Hebrew letters which in Greek would be Alpha and Omega. That is the initials for the Lord Jesus Christ. These eclipses wrote the initials of Jesus Christ on the USA. Not on Canada, not on Mexico, but exclusively on the USA. And it gets even weirder, they intersect in a place called "Little Egypt" in Illinois, and in that little spot where they intersect there is a yearly festival that celebrates the gathering of vultures (which belong to the same family as eagles).

10 Logical Fallacies that Satan uses to get you to faint

Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

The Lord is teaching us about all the thoughts that will go through our head, like doubt, that will cause us to faint and not pray.

2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

You might fall for the "Hasty generalization" fallacy, this judge doesn't fear God so we are going to lose, no point in praying. Or you might fall for the false equivalence fallacy, this judge doesn't regard man, he is like Hitler, and so faint.

3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

This woman may fear that the judge is in league with her adversary and so fall for the slippery slope, if I go and appeal to this judge it could boomerang back on me. The old, keep quiet or it will get worse. You might worry that if I go to court they will attack me, the Ad hominem attack, slander me, force me to lose my job, etc. You may think that maybe this is just me, if what this person is doing is so bad why aren't others protesting as well. That is the Bandwagon fallacy. You might fall for the appeal to emotion, if you do this and go to court they will attack you, maybe you'll lose your job, and then how will you feed your children? Think about people who are appealing to the courts in the US because they lost their jobs in the vaccine mandate. Perhaps they will be attacked as being "science deniers", that is the strawman argument where they misrepresent what you say. Perhaps they will appeal to authority, we were simply following orders from the government and Dr. Fauci. Maybe the thought will be "get over it, we got a lot of other problems to focus on, that was in the past". That is the Red Herring approach.

4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

Did you get that? Her continual coming! So she came to the judge many times and no doubt the adversaries attorney used every trick in the book, but it didn't work. She was relentless, would not turn aside. This is how we need to be, we cannot be ignorant of Satan's devices. We will pray to be avenged of our adversary, we know he'll use every trick in the book, we know what they are, but they won't sway us, they won't distract us from our goal.

6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

When we pray we are going before God the Father who is the judge of all and with every prayer we pray Satan is allowed to respond. God is legal and righteous. Satan will accuse us of being selfish, he'll try to bring up past sins, he will claim we are hypocrites. Toughen up, cover yourself in the Lord's blood, stand on that blood when you are before God and make sure your petition is according to the word of God and not according to your lusts and desires.

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Spiritual Warfare is like Judo

9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

I just mentioned ten ways Satan will try to dissuade you from praying. But let's say that doesn't work. You are completely focused and on the attack. Well Judo uses your own momentum against you. You are now an avenger of evil, do not get puffed up with pride that you are righteous while you despise others.

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

No where in this account does Jesus deny that any of this is true. He doesn't say this man is a hypocrite, or that he is two faced. On the contrary I would liken him to Job which God boasted about -- have you seen my servant, this Pharisee, he is not like other men who are sinners, he is not an extortioner, unjust, adulterer or even a publican who collects taxes for the Romans. No, he fasts twice in a week and he gives tithes to God of all that he possesses.

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

This is what everyone misses. What does the Lord mean by "justified". What does it mean that after praying to God you are "justified"? He explains:

"For every one that exalteth himself shall be abased". The Pharisee exalted himself, "Hey look at me" in his prayer to God. So, just like the story of Job God also says to Satan "Hey, look at this guy". The result was that he will be abased just as Job was abased.

"and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted" -- that is what justified means. It means that the judge will hear your petition and give you what you asked for.

When you go to court and sue someone. If the judge rules in your favor you are "justified" in your lawsuit. If the judge denies your claim you are not justified.

Spiritual warfare -- stratagems of the evil one

Luke 18:15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

To understand this we must understand the context of this chapter. He is talking about spiritual warfare, persistent prayer, the attacks of the evil one, and the temptation to be proud and arrogant. Suppose you are a pastor and some brand new believer comes up to you and wants to get involved in Spiritual warfare. You may be tempted to think, you need to grow and mature first. That is a mistake. Imagine we are in a church meeting, perhaps a hundred people listening to the worship team lead the worship. Then the woman playing the piano says that they would like to train someone to play the piano, who wants to learn? One hand shoots up, it is a six year old girl. Everyone else understands how much work goes into playing the piano and has long ago decided they are not interested in that kind of commitment. But this girl sees things differently. If that woman can play the piano she can too, and for her that would be a dream come true. New believers will have the dream at the outset, do you dream of leading worship, or do you dream of being a prayer warrior, or an evangelist, or a shepherd, a teacher? Don't turn them away, don't tell them "how hard it is". Let them come to the Lord.

18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. 20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. 21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

I think the modern equivalent to this "ruler" is the pastor of a well funded church. He is discreet, he knows only God is good, he was signaling to the Lord that he knows He is God and he also keeps the ten commandments.

22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

Jesus knows that he is lacking something because of his question, "what must I do to inherit eternal life". Imagine a pastor asking that, something is clearly not right. This reveals another snare of the enemy. Many denominations have a board of directors and on that board you have Freemasons who supply lots of money. They help build a bigger building, they pay for expensive sound equipment and cameras and livestream the service on the internet. The pastor becomes a ruler of this small fiefdom. But you are snared, they don't tell you what you can say, only what you cannot say. The criteria seems reasonable, they don't want you teaching on the Antichrist, perhaps you had no burden to do that. They don't want you teaching about the end of the age, that may sound reasonable because they don't want some cult leader. But then they don't want you teaching about sin and hell because you have this thriving ministry, we have doubled attendance, and that kind of talk just drives people away. Satan is now controlling this Pastor because of his "thriving ministry" and "all the good he is doing".

23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

Think about that. The only way to get out from one of these 501(c)3 ministries is to sell all, give it to the poor, perhaps a soup kitchen which is also a 501(c)3 and now you will be free to speak the word of God without any puppeteer telling you what not to talk about.

24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Do not separate the analogy. It is difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God because it is like a camel carrying all this stuff on its back trying to thread a needle. It doesn't matter if you understand that literally or historically (there was a gate into Jerusalem called the eye of the needle because it was very narrow.). We are running a race like a marathoner, imagine running a marathon with a sixty pound backpack on your back. Get rid of that backpack. The more stuff you got the more stuff you have to take care of.

26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

Yes, that was my response when I heard that a marathon was 26 miles! I figured if someone had to run 26 miles they would probably drop dead.

27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

You start as a little kid and you train. You could never do it on your own, but God is the greatest trainer there is and with Him all things are possible.

28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

The Lord does not rebuke Peter for saying this.

29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, 30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

Instead the Lord confirms that you must pay the price to follow Him but we are encouraged because there is also a great reward. Some people don't care about money, they don't care about fame. So flip this around, ask them what they are giving up, what does it mean to them to pay the price. That will in turn be what the reward is to those who paid the price. You gave up a house, well you will receive manifold that if you follow the Lord. There are only a few verses in the Bible that are a "touchstone" for me. It is as though every time I touch them I remind the Lord of His promise. Verse 29 and 30 of Luke 18 is one of these touchstones.

Luke 18:31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

We need our thinking adjusted. There are many wondering when is the rapture. What they should be asking is when is the crucifixion. You have to be one with the Lord is His death before you can be one with Him in His resurrection.

32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

This is how the watchmen have been treated and it must be this way. If the world were cheering at our message then it would be proof that our message was not necessary. The fact that they are mocking, and spitefully responding is proof that the message is true and the world does need to repent or else will be judged.

33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

Jesus is conquering death, He isn't conquering a pillow fight. Look at Israel as an example, before they returned to the land they went through the Holocaust. If you want to be the champion then you must defeat the champion, and for us that means you must defeat death.

34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

We are blinded by this idea of Jesus coming in glory. But that glory is so much more glorious after having gone through scourging, and the crucifixion.

35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

Retrace the steps of Israel. Jericho was where they first entered the good land. The city represents censorship, people being kept in the dark behind their wall.

36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

This is similar to when Israel passed by Jericho. All those behind the wall had to ask those on top what it meant and their response was that Israel was passing by.

38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

We saw this also with Rahab the prostitute. She received her sight, she saw that Israel was a mighty army destined to take over the land and she asked for mercy to be saved, her and her family.

42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. 43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Passing through Jericho on the way to the cross

Luke 19:1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

Think of Jericho as censorship. It was a city with a big wall, all those inside the city could not see outside to know what was going on. They could hear Israel blowing the shofar but were in the dark to know any more. Finally the curiosity was too great when they heard repeated trumpet blasts and everyone in the city stormed the gates so that they fell down flat.

2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

The publicans refer to those supporting the government, and the government is the one with the control of the censorship.

3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

If you remember we were told to rebuke sin by the Lord and we were warned that there would be a spiritual battle over this prompting Satan to use everything in his arsenal to shut us up. The disciples asked for more faith to fulfill this demand of the Lord and He said if they had faith of a mustard seed they would say to this sycomore tree to be rooted up and cast into the sea. Now we see this sycomore tree in Jericho, a city that was the first that Israel had to conquer to enter the good land, they had to conquer censorship. We are also told that the government which should be a small herb regulating free speech has grown into a great tree controlling, censoring and deciding what speech is acceptable. We were also given a picture of a Great tree with birds roosting in the branches that would then swoop down and eat the seeds of the word of God preventing them from sprouting. We should keep all that in mind when we look at this picture. That bird in the branches turns out to be the chiefs among the publicans. Think of FBI director, NSA, CIA, and all the other three letter agencies sitting in the branches.

5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

Do you see the weakness in their society? No one wants to live in this soulless society as an outcast. Everyone loves to have a warm family life where they are part of the society. This "chief of the publicans" is no different.

7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

By this time the believers have all realized that the government is censoring the free speech and that the chiefs among the publicans are the worst of the worst.

8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

Think about surveillance. We don't mind if it is used to catch criminals and make us safer. It is a powerful tool in preventing crime and solving crimes that have already taken place. What we are offended at is the use of these tools to frame innocent people. Using deep fakes to frame people. If the government did not falsely accuse people of crimes, we would not view them as sinners. If they did not arrest pastors who were at a pro life rally, or make it look like an assassination was pulled off by a lone crazy gunman rather than a team of black ops, then we would not view them as being Satanic. If they did not censor information online in order to manipulate the masses to do as they wish we would not view them as an evil overlord. This repentance by Zacchaeus shows us the way to salvation. He can be a chief among the publicans and still have a heart for the poor and take a stand for righteousness.

9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

We saw this in the story of Jericho with Rahab and her family being saved. This is what has the whole kingdom of darkness trembling in their boots, the fact that those who think they are prisoners and slaves of sin can be set free and saved by repenting and turning to Jesus.

Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Sometimes we get confused, thinking the Son of man has come to condemn sin. Rebuking sin is not the same as condemning sin. Remember the word of the Lord was balanced, you are to rebuke sin and you are also to forgive those that repent.

11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

That is where we are right now. All these signs and prophetic fulfillments tell us we are nigh to Jerusalem. That means we are right next door. Also everyone thinks the rapture should immediately appear.

12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

Jesus is this certain nobleman, and He is the one we are looking for to return.

13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

This is what you and I have been assigned. Whether or not you focus daily on prophetic fulfillment and the signs of the Lord's coming, what is essential is that every day you are "occupying till the Lord comes". The word means to carry on a business, or more particularly, to carry on the business of a banker or a trader.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

This was clearly the message that the Jewish leaders sent when they crucified Him.

15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

Are you a servant of the Lord? If so the Lord has given you a talent that you were to trade. George Mueller ran an orphanage in Britain, he was given faith in one verse: seek first the kingdom of heaven and all these things will be added unto you. He put his faith in that verse and that was the cornerstone of his orphanage. I also have been given faith in one verse: 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. My desire from the time I first got saved was to be able to read the Bible. I was in a Christian group where this one man expounded on the Bible and everyone took his exposition as the way to understand the Bible and without his speaking they were afraid to speak. I had no issue with him and his interpretation, but I wanted to be able to read the Bible for myself just like I was reading any other book.

16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

I find I had forgotten that the people who refused to let the Lord reign over them were also in this parable. Since this is Luke I don't think that refers to the Jews, I think this refers to the apostasy which has left the word of God and refuses to let the word of God reign over the church. Jesus is the incarnated word of God, so if you decide you don't need to let certain verses reign over the church you have rejected Jesus reigning over you.

17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

Zacchaeus was a chief publican, that means he was a leader over the city. Jesus is replacing the evil overlords with the holy apostles and prophets who have been washed in the water of the word and sanctified by the Holy Spirit. It is a meritocracy. If you can turn one pound into ten, then you can have authority over ten cities. Remember, it is the Lord's pound, His word which is likened to gold. And all that you have done must be one with the Holy Spirit and something that the Lord gave you permission to do.

18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

We have this term "the Peter Principle" which means people are promoted beyond what they are capable of so that all the people at the top of an organization are in over their head. The Lord does not operate on that principle. If you are capable of overseeing ten cities then so be it, if you are capable of five cities then both you and the cities will prefer you keep it to five.

20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

This is the only guy with an excuse. He was given the talent and told what to do with it and yet he buried it and did nothing. By itself it is simply lazy, but once you start trying to justify this then it is evil and wicked. The only way he can justify his lack of action is by condemning the Lord.

22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

It is hard to speak the word of God. You get attacked, mocked, ridiculed, slandered, scoffed at, etc. However, it is easy to share the word of God with other believers. It is just as easy as taking your paycheck and giving it to the bank. That is what Christians do. Each one of us, at the very least should be sharing our testimony with other believers.

24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

LOL. This is what the guy said with his own mouth, with what measure you measure it will be measured to you again.

26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

Isn't it interesting that in this account of this parable each person was given one pound. In other versions you receive according to your ability, but in this everyone gets the same. We all got the Bible, we all got the hymns, we all got the Holy Spirit, we all got the blood of Jesus. Now some claim that although this servant has the pound taken from him he is still raptured, just goes to heaven in poverty. If the pound represents the Holy Spirit does that make sense? If it represents the blood of Jesus does that make sense? This is a pound of gold, the word of God is likened to fine gold. This means the word of faith that was given to him is now taken from him. How are you going to heaven without a word of faith within you? Obviously there is no answer to this question in this parable, so I cannot answer it. But you should know that all those who are confidently affirming that he will still be raptured, that is simply based on their opinion, the Lord does not say that.

27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

This is the apostasy. It reminds me of Elijah after fire fell and devoured the sacrifice he takes the prophets of Baal and slays them.

28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

This indicates the Lord's ascension takes place after the rapture.

America's Warning Sirens Are Now BLARING! A Great Shaking Is Upon Us #rapture #jesus #endtimes

It seems that the message to Christians changed dramatically these last few years, ever since the pandemic. We began getting numerous warning dreams like this.

It reminds me of when I was teaching. For an entire year you teach the subject. Then you have a few days off from class until the statewide exam. But once that exam starts the proctor is writing the time up on the board and every fifteen minutes you update it. So it might be "2 hours left", then "1 hour forty five minutes left", and then "1 hour and thirty minutes" etc. When you get down to the end it is 15 minutes, then ten minutes, then five minutes and then 2 minutes.

There is a moment when the test is over and you as the proctor are responsible to make sure the kids are well informed and aware so they can make the best use of their time. Perhaps they left a few multiple choice blank because they weren't sure. Well you want to make sure that you have bubbled in your best guess before time expires. You might be struggling with some short answer question but when there is one minute left you have to drop that and bubble them in.

We are saved by faith, not by Baptism

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

We believe the blood of Jesus Christ washes us from all our sins and that is what will save us from eternal damnation. Fair enough, that is true.

But what is your response when you have been forgiven, when you have been cleansed, when you have received Jesus Christ? The process is simple confess your sins, believe in the blood of Jesus to pay the full price for those sins, believe that the Lord paid that price so that you can be forgiven, and repent. If you are a pimp, you don't say "Lord Jesus forgive me" and then go back to pimping. You are going to have to change your profession. Now in order to repent there will need to be a "baptism", an immersion. Think about the pimp, he is immersed into a criminal world contrary to the word of God. He confesses his sins, believes in Jesus, and is saved from eternal damnation. It is the gift of God, nothing that He did, it was grace freely given. But now he does not continue to be a pimp. He cannot continue to hang with all of his friends involved in that. He can't sit with them as they do drugs and watch porno. He needs to be separated unto the triune God. Now that is not what saves him from eternal damnation, no it was the blood of Jesus and only the blood of Jesus. However, it is what will sanctify him fit for the master's use. Imagine a guy who is a pimp, and in his free time gets out on the street corner preaching the gospel. You are not fit for the master's use as long as you are pimping. Now imagine that same pimp gets saved, repents, leaves his job as a pimp and works as a cook in a diner. In his free time he hangs out on the same corners where the prostitutes are preaching the gospel. This he can do, he is separated unto God, immersed into God, he has repented of his old life of sin, so he can be fit for the master's use.

The fact that he is now preaching the gospel is not what saves him, what saved him was his faith in Jesus Christ. Nor does this mean if a pimp gets saved he must spend his free time on these corners preaching the gospel. It is simply an illustration of how we as vessels of the Lord can be saved, sanctified and fit for the master's use. Maybe the Lord wants you to be a street preacher, maybe He wants you to do something else, it is simply a matter of following the Lord's leading in your spirit.

Carrying the Lord on your shoulders in Triumph

Luke 19:29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. 37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

This is a triumphal entry. At the end of the game when you win you put the coach on your shoulders, or you put the MVP on your shoulders and carry him in triumph. Jesus is being carried in triumph by this colt on which never has a man sat. He represents that person who was faithful to the Lord to take the way of the cross and is coming up in resurrection. Think of the book of Acts of the Apostles. They were unlearned men. They were fishermen, Galileans, men that no one had heard speak on the Bible before and now they are carrying the Lord on their shoulders in triumph. When Israel went through the wilderness they carried the ark of testimony on their shoulders. In Luke it is a colt, in Matthew it is an ass. A colt is a young horse. An ass is also of the horse family and the word in Matthew indicates it is an ass's colt. This is who we are, just like in the book of Song of Songs where we are likened to a horse, but to be in ministry you must be very stubborn and so that is also fitting.

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

This is a big reveal to us. He is referring to the sixth seal where there will be a huge earthquake. Whenever there is a resurrection there is an earthquake. The sixth seal being opened is the rapture, and so Jesus just equated Palm Sunday to the opening of the sixth seal.

41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

This is another big reveal. At the time of the rapture Jerusalem will be surrounded and yet the people won't realize how close they are to being destroyed. For example, right now Israel is winning. They are about to utterly destroy Hamas, Hezbollah has been defeated, Syria is now under the control of the US, and the Houthis have been all but wiped out. In addition Iran is ready to come to the table to negotiate peace. Pakistan was destroyed by India. In addition China's economy is in a free fall and they can't afford to keep helping in the Mideast. But all this is because of the US. If a meteor were to hit the US and cause massive devastation, earthquakes, volcanoes, then in an hour everything changes.

43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

They did this in 70 AD and they will do it again with the Ezekiel 38 war and the Antichrist setting himself up in the Holy Place.

45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

This is another big reveal. Prior to the Ezekiel 38 war, and prior to 70 AD (I view these events as mirror images of each other) the Lord is going to cast out those who sell. Notice how there is no reference to money changers. When Trump put on the tariffs it was equivalent to the US casting out those who sell, which are the Chinese.

48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
