Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

We have a future hope

Saying 26

13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste. 14 Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

It is a completely different view to losing, if you have found wisdom losing is simply a master class on winning. Evil people cheat so if they lose they assume the other person cheated. Wise people know that there is always a way for them to improve and win, so if you lose they are showing you your weakness and if you learn that you will become stronger and be able to win in the future. So, there is always a future hope for you.

Saying 27

15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous, do not plunder their dwelling place; 16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

After the January 6 riot they claimed that the people in the Trump rally beat a policeman to death. This turned out to be a lie that was quickly disproved, so they changed it to they killed him by spraying him with bear spray. However, no one has ever been killed by bear spray and so people were naturally skeptical and wanted to see the toxicology report. Finally they admitted he died of natural causes. The righteous do not quit because they know the accusation is a lie. Think about the movie concerning “The Hurricane”. Though the righteous fall seven times they rise again. However, now that this lie has been exposed it is like calamity striking the wicked and they are stumbling all over themselves. This is why you have to learn to be righteous and have a righteous stance. The enemy can come at you repeatedly but as long as you are standing on solid ground you can hold your ground. We stand on the blood of Christ. That is a terrifying stance to the enemy.

Saying 28

17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice, 18 or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them.

How many times have we seen that. Think about this year, Jamieson Winston was gloating as the New Orleans Saints beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers twice during the regular season, but the Lord turned his wrath away and Tampa beat the Saints in the playoffs. Or consider the Kansas City Chiefs, their star receiver did a back flip into the end zone in the regular season as they beat Tampa Bay, but again the Lord turned his wrath from them and Tampa beat KC in the SuperBowl.

Saying 29

19 Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked, 20 for the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.

This is so awesome. Evil doers win by deceit. Once they have been found out it is over. This is why I was so impressed with Vince Lombardi. There was no deceit in his game, everyone knew it would be “the Packer sweep” but they executed it so well that no one could stop it. If you have to win by deceit what happens when others find out? Why do you think they are going crazy over these election integrity bills being passed in 47 states? Their deceit has been exposed and now they have no future hope.

Saying 30 -- Who knows what calamities they can bring?

21 Fear the Lord and the king, my son, and do not join with rebellious officials, 22 for those two will send sudden destruction on them, and who knows what calamities they can bring?

Who knows what calamities they can bring? Think about that, maybe you can think of some terrible calamities but surely you can think that the king can think of things you never even thought of. Now if that is true of the king, how about the Lord? Read the Old Testament and the Lord toyed with evil men regardless of what they tried. Read the book of revelation. The amount and variety of sudden destruction is astounding. Right now we have rebellious officials involved in voter fraud, they don’t fear the Lord, they surely didn’t fear Trump or any of the Republicans. But let’s consider that for a moment. Trump instituted the “space force” which is in charge of monitoring all communications worldwide that travel via satellite. He had access to the NSA which is able to monitor all communications via computer and phone. Also, Trump put in place very strict regulations concerning anyone involved in election fraud. You might think “hey, if he was going to do anything he would have already done it”. That is reasonable except for one thing, after January 20th anyone involved in rebellion would be emboldened. It will be easier to piece together everyone that is guilty and the extent of their involvement. You can also monitor all financial transactions, who is paying who and for what. All I am saying is this word “who knows what calamities they can bring” is a very scary thing when talking about the President of the US and who is he compared to the Lord?

[Ebeth33]

The only thing I found fascinating with that video was the way in which they tied recent events in with scripture.

If you refuse to listen to people because they have a different end times interpretation you will be severely limited.

As for Obama, that is a very common theory running around the world right now. I think it is foolish to say anything more than "the antichrist will be revealed after the rapture". I don't think it helps people to speculate. However, the process of speculating includes looking at all the verses in the context of human events. So, that process can help you become familiar with the verses and to also examine these people.

Obama is certainly a person that many people have a very high regard for and you certainly wouldn't want that to become unhealthy or blind you.

Finally, most of the people speaking on the end times seem unstable to me. They will begin by making a very compelling biblical case, say that the Magog war with Israel takes place prior to the tribulation beginning, or that it is an alliance of the following countries. But then they go off on how to survive during the tribulation by living in a tent.

My focus and my goal in this blog is to make it to the 1st rapture. That is the burden the Lord has given me and it is my sense He desires that all would be in that rapture. I feel that if you give it your full focus and still come up short that at that time the best thing for you to do will be to "follow the Lord". That might involve being beheaded, but if that is how the Lord leads that is certainly the path to take. Those who would save their life will lose it and those who would lose their life for Jesus' sake will save it.

I didn't mean for this to be directed at you, ZNP, I appreciate your blog and links, this was copied and pasted from my response to the woman who made the video and wrote the book. I get so frustrated on how Off people are about eschatology, like saying the jab is the mark when the bible clearly says it will be in the right HAND or forehead. Anyway, I don't know what these people will do when they get left behind and get a strong delusion sent upon them if they are already so deceived now. I believe that in the Lord's mercy and grace the bulk of left behind Christians will die in Christ, of something BEFORE they are faced with the mark or beheading, of course they are being beheaded already in parts of the world, so I'm praying for the rapture to happen so soon that the ones in hiding and fearing for their lives will be saved by way of the clouds! Be blessed and Ibelieve you are a true believer and commend you on your patient efforts to warn the people, even if they seldom listen.

I thought your point raised a very important point which is that we don't have to be in full agreement. For example there are those who will tell you there is no pre tribulation rapture and will present their case from the Bible. It is certainly one way to interpret the Bible and we need to appreciate that there are still a variety of ways to interpret many of these verses. We don't want to get caught in "group think" but rather keep an open mind.

Further Sayings of the Wise

23 These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judging is not good: 24 Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent,” will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations.

Nancy Pelosi accused Trump of inciting a riot by telling people at his rally to “peacefully protest”. They inferred that this was code to go and riot. Also, they accused him of “inciting” the riot when the riot began prior to Trump even speaking. In that context of the standard she was applying to Trump to then excuse Maxine Waters for repeatedly inciting people to violence is not good. Maxine telling Antifa which has had 500+ violent protests in the last year that they need to become more confrontational and that they need to let people know we mean business and that she was demanding “guilty, guilty, guilty” to the three charges. Shortly after she told this crowd this two members of the National guard were injured by shots fired. How can Pelosi excuse this? She will be cursed by the people of the US and denounced by other nations.

But what Maxine did is worse than this. The prosecution had a nine minute video which was very damning, it would be very difficult for anyone to see that and not agree that this was negligent homicide at the very least. It only took the jury one day to come back with their verdict and they never asked one question of the judge, so we can infer from that that they were all pretty much in agreement from the get go that he was guilty. However, even the judge admits that what Maxine did was a veiled threat to the jury. She told them to give a guilty verdict to all three charges even though negligent homicide contradicts murder 2 as murder 2 says he intended to kill him and negligent homicide says he didn’t. They did what she told them to do and said “guilty, guilty, guilty”. So now, thanks to Maxine, the defense has a powerful basis for a mistrial. Add to this that the jurors were all doxed by several newspapers. All of their personal information was published so that anyone wanting to know their identity could. If Maxine wanted the cop convicted why give him a powerful basis to call for a mistrial? Either you think Maxine is stupid or else the only real explanation is she wants a riot. Everyone assumed it would be a guilty verdict, but now she is giving them a chance for a mistrial which would cause riots all thanks to Maxine. Still Joe Biden also helped by leaning on the jury as well as the local mayor.

This guilty verdict was in the bag but Biden wanted to take credit for it and the Mayor was concerned about the potential damage to the city. That is the definition of mob rule, Biden is playing to the Mob and the mayor is playing to the local businesses. These are perilous times.

25 But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them.

This “but” indicates we aren’t talking about the jurors who convicted Chauvin. No, “convicting the guilty” is referring to the previous verse about Pelosi, Biden, and Waters. They are guilty of jury tampering. We are referring to the papers that doxed the jurors, they are guilty of intimidation. We are talking about the mayor and the chamber of commerce who wanted to make it clear to the jury what the verdict needed to be, they also are guilty of jury tampering. We are witnessing mob rule, bullies pushing around the lily livered. You do this with someone who is clearly guilty, like Chauvin, and then you blur the lines of what is legal so you can do this to those they want to be guilty. It is not hard to see a day where people would be convicted of bludgeoning the policeman to death on January 6th even though he didn’t suffer blunt force trauma and instead died of a stroke completely unrelated to the event.

26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.

27 Put your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your house.

Get your priorities right. If your work and fields are in order you will be able to support your house. Most divorces are due to financial issues. These people got married when their outdoor work was not in order and their fields were not ready.

28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause— would you use your lips to mislead? 29 Do not say, “I’ll do to them as they have done to me; I’ll pay them back for what they did.”

If an honest answer is like a kiss on the lips what does it mean to use your lips to deceive? That is like what Judas did when he kissed the Lord as a sign to the soldiers. You think you are so slick but the soldiers know what you did, the king knows what you did, the Lord knows what you did. You will get sudden calamity, sudden destruction. You will get the field of blood and a name of ignominy.

30 I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense; 31 thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins. 32 I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw: 33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— 34 and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.

I see this in my job all the time. Teachers have to grade papers every day. I have close to 150 students so it is a lot of grading every day. However, it is the same amount of work whether you do a little every day or a whole lot during one weekend. You do not save yourself work by putting it off, all you do is allow thorns and weeds to grow and walls to be in ruins. By keeping my grade book up to date several times a week kids always know where they are at and I can send weekly alerts to parents of kids who are falling behind.

another maskless party by a democrat Nancy Pelosi, the white aristocrats are all maskless while the servants are masked to the hilt.
10,000 dollars a plate in a private napa Valley vineyard. while in DC she has a standing order to arrest any member of congress entering the house without a mask. Also I heard a report that White House employees are NOT required to be vaccinated to come to work. hmmmm...
Hypocrites! Why aren't THEY afraid of getting the oh so deadly Delta variant that seems to kill more vaxed cases than unvaxed. Unless it's not really as deadly as they're portraying it to be.

 

[Ebeth33]

We need to remember that there is a lot that we don't know. I like Thomas Edison's attitude, we haven't figured this eschatology out, instead we have figured out 99 theories that are not right.

Is the Pope a significant figure? Yes. Is he a false prophet? Yes. Is he "The" false prophet? We don't know. Same thing with Obama, he is a significant figure, beyond that we don't know. How could you possibly be sure? Has he made a secret pact with Israel? Has he set himself up in the Temple proclaiming that he is god? The same thing with Trump. Is he significant? Yes. Is he the antichrist? Is he Jehu? We don't know.

Here is what we do know

There are a number of prophecies which point to 2021 as "the dung" year. Based on the Fig tree prophecy we believe that everything must be fulfilled by 2028 on the day of Atonement. Once you pass that red line many different prophecies and their interpretations collapse. If everything must be fulfilled by Atonement 2028, then we also believe the 70th week must begin in the Fall of 2021, most likely on Rosh Hashanah, however there is a dispute over when that is, I believe it is in October, but the Torah calendar has it in September.

Now the Ezekiel prophecy concerning the Magog war against Israel should take place before the tribulation starts. This is an interpretation, it could be wrong, but I posted the link to the message on this and to my understanding it is far and away the best interpretation. You could definitely understand how the aftermath of that war would be a peace treaty with Europe and "to the victors go the spoils" you could see how they would be willing to agree with Israel building their temple.

But, how could Russia have an alliance with all these Magog nations to attack Israel if the US and China are still superpowers? Again, this is why I posted the three videos laying out the evidence that the US is the Great Babylon. I have been completely convinced of this from the Bible. If you believe this then you also believe that the US will be judged by the beast (the globalists, the UN), she will be burned with fire, stripped naked and devoured by the beast. You also believe her judgement comes in 1 hour. That is stunning. I can only envision this happening with a nuclear attack or an EMP attack.

If the US were attacked in this way I expect Taiwan to take preemptive action against China by blowing up their dams with the 3 Gorges dam being first and foremost. Based on Revelation 12 I feel this happens after the rapture.

So to reiterate, the day of the rapture can change because the Lord said we don't know the day. That does not impact the prophecies.

However, The rapture, the judgement of the Great Babylon, the flood in Revelation 12, and Magog attacking Israel, all of that needs to take place prior to October 8th in order for the peace treaty to occur then at the start of the Jewish year of affliction. Now that could be off by a few days, but once we pass October you will have difficulty with a very long list of prophecies from the Revelation 12 sign, the fig tree prophecy, the story about dunging the tree in the fourth year, Jeremiah's prophecy that the rapture is in the summer, Song of Song's prophecy about the season in which this first rapture takes place, most of Daniel's prophecies, the Magog war, etc.

I am alomst in all agreemennt except for America being Mystery Babylon, without going into that if you examine the current administration's lack of support to Israel and with Israel's new leadership failing to get Russian support, you see it all coming in alignment. Naftali Bennett could just be desperate enough to destroy Damascus with all the stockpiling of weapons by Iran. which is the catalyst which provokes Russia to lead the attack, and with all the disasters in Russia, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon and destruction in Gaza you could see where they might be motivated fiancially to go after Israel. Saudia Arabia, Britain and America only verbally protest such an invasion asking if they are going to take a spoil, and with America literally being kicked out of the middle east and leaving without any resistance (Iraq is next) and with most Christians being in America, after the rapture there will be much chaos and confusion that will hurt America the most, finacially too. I also believe that Russia will strong arm China out of the middle east as well Most of the world seems to be standing up to China, and not wanting to involve themselves with them like Africa, India, Japan, Italy, Australia, and most of Europe . The Gog Magog war could be very quick like the 6 day war, the key is that Satan is waiting for the church to be gone. It could still all happen if we get raptured in August or before the end of summer whenever that is, and still have the tribulation start NEAR Sept. 7th, but another interesting date to look at is Sept. 23rd to Oct. 23rd this is the period of time the sun is in Libra/the scales which the Lord revealed to me means judgement. With so many facing losing their jobs if they don't get the jab and with so many Christians facing death in Afghanistan, and the escalation of natural disasters, what could possibly be next but the rapture? With even the media and some democrats turning on Biden administration they have already lost all respect of the world powers and with India and Britain stepping up to help evacuate Afghanis & Americans, it's only a matter of a short time, like when all the troops leave Afghanistan in September.

If you have been following the audit you know that the US military had a special operation to capture everything that took place, they have the evidence of election fraud, they have evidence that it was treason, they have been gathering the names and crimes of all the deep state, they had a list of everyone compromised by the CCP and kept them in the dark. The CCP knows they are about to be caught -- the Pandemic is an act of war, we will want reparations for the world that they can't pay, the stolen election is an act of war, they will need to attack up preemptively before Trump can take charge.

The rapture is a rescue. If the US is attacked with nuclear missiles which could explain the US having the judgement come in one hour the Lord will "snatch" us out of the way of this oncoming train. "As we go up they go down".

Hosea 10:11-15 When the day dawns the king of Israel will be completely destroyed

11 Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh; so I will put a yoke on her fair neck. I will drive Ephraim, Judah must plow, and Jacob must break up the ground.

Ephraim here represents the ten tribes, what we generally consider “Organized Christianity”. They have been trained to keep the law (trained to use the yoke of the law) but they love to thresh instead. According to the law you don’t muzzle the ox as it threshes the corn, so organized religion gets to eat as they thresh, hence they love to thresh. Organized religion has turned into a big, beautiful, worldwide organization. So God is going to humble them, they will be forced not simply to “plow” but to be driven by a hard task master. Judah will have a slightly easier job of plowing even though not as intensely as being driven.

12 Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you.

When we get involved in ministry we discover we have unplowed ground. Seeking the Lord involves breaking up this unplowed ground so that seeds can germinate and grow. The rain is like a blessing, a shower of righteousness. When we are right with the Lord we are seeking Him, breaking up the unplowed ground of our heart and we will receive a blessing from God. We are right with God and man.

13 But you have planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception. Because you have depended on your own strength and on your many warriors, 14 the roar of battle will rise against your people, so that all your fortresses will be devastated—as Shalman devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.

What the church is supposed to do and what they have done are two completely different things, though they are comparable. They have a ministry, they plant seeds, but they are seeds of wickedness. They depend on their own strength. You could have the best teaching in the world but if you are depending on financial backers, hiring experts in all kinds of areas to promote and distribute your ministry, but it is all based on your own strength. Then you are not walking by faith. It is as though you have hired soldiers from the world to fight your spiritual battles. You will be dashed to pieces. The fire will test each man’s work whether it is wood, hay and stubble or if it is gold and precious stones from God.

15 So will it happen to you, Bethel, because your wickedness is great.

Bethel means house of God. The church is being warned that if they are not walking by faith, obedient to the Lord then when He returns they will suffer loss.

When that day dawns, the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.

“The King of Israel” isn’t talking about Jesus, He is talking about the Pope, the cardinals, the bishops, and all the big leaders in the major Denominations. They will be completely destroyed. The Lord is telling us that many of those who lead us mislead us. That there are many hypocrites in organized religion and when the Day of the Lord comes they will be completely destroyed. "When the day dawns" refers to the first rapture. Many in the church will be sleeping and not watching when He comes, so it is like "day dawns". The first rapture will wake them up.

 

[ZNP]

Review of the key point -- It is time to wake up!

Mark 14:41-42 He came back a third time and said, “Are you going to sleep all night? No—you’ve slept long enough. Time’s up. The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up. Let’s get going. My betrayer has arrived.”

The book of Revelation chapter 12 presents a great sign in the heavens. This sign appeared on the festival of trumpets in 2017. It signaled the beginning of the ten days of awe, which refer to the last ten years of the age of the Gentiles. The book of Joel tells you that there will be a worldwide pandemic that will shut down the world’s economy at the end of the age and when this happens “the day of the Lord is at hand”. Then in chapter 2 it says that there will be a total solar eclipse which will signal the start of the Day of the Lord. In Amos it also says that there is a total solar eclipse at the start of the Day of the Lord and it says this takes place in the middle of a religious festival. Then in Ezekiel it also says the Day of the Lord begins with a total solar eclipse and that this takes place over a land that Israel doesn’t know and a nation they don’t know.

Because of this I think it is important to consider the total solar eclipse that took place December 14th, 2020 over Chile and the same day that the US selects the electors from the electoral college. December 14th is in the middle of the Hanukkah celebration, which is a festival that lasts eight days. The number eight is significant because in Hebrew the word clearly refers to the rapture in many ways. In Luke the account of the Mount of Transfiguration is considered an account of the first rapture, in that account it says “after about eight days”. 2Corinthians chapter 6 describes the feast of dedication (Hanukkah) and the last eight chapters of 2 Corinthians cover the eight days of light. Paul likens the New Testament ministry to the Festival of Hanukkah, so “after about eight days” could also refer to the end of this age close to the end of the New Testament ministry.

So then consider this “Jericho March” rally. Jesus said that the only sign that would be given the wicked generation was the sign of Jonah for just as Jonah was a sign to Nineveh for 40 days so also the Lord would be a sign to this evil generation. Jonah walked the streets of Nineveh in protest for 40 days. In Luke the Lord told the believers they were to watch and be ready for the thief to prevent their house from being broken into. In other words to “stop the steal”. At the end of the age you will have a totalitarian government over a great part of the world in which the Antichrist will be in power. Everything is ready to go, the pandemic sets the stage for requiring everyone to get the mark of the beast, a "pandemic passport" before they can buy or sell. However, they can never pull this off without first dealing with the US. Stealing the election is how the thief breaks into the house.

There is another type of the rapture in Luke and that is the birth of John the Baptist. If you read the Father’s prophecy it is very much like that for the rapture. Elizabeth (which means dedication) becomes pregnant and hides herself for six months until she couldn’t hide it anymore. When Trump brokered the peace agreement between Israel and the UAE and then Bahrain over Jerusalem, you could no longer hide the fact that the Day of the Lord was here. That peace treaty was September 15th, six months earlier was March 15th when NYC first shut down due to the Pandemic. Three months later is roughly December 15th, but according to the Jewish calendar a month is 30 days which would make it December 14th, the same day as the total solar eclipse. These are signs to us, just like signs on the side of the highway saying "NYC 100 miles".

What about crossing the Jordan? A river signifies the economy. During the Pandemic the Lord made the world’s economy stand up in its place so that we could walk across on dry ground. Because we had a lock down we didn’t have to commute 1 ½ hours a day, and in many other ways we were freed up to focus exclusively on the word of God and God’s move on this earth.

You will discover that the “mainstream media” are the “counterfeit apostles and prophets” the “pseudo prophets”. They are the false prophets sharing the narrative of the “globalists” the ones that want to put the antichrist in power. So then, what sources of news are credible?

NTD, Sky News and Newsmax are three news agencies that all have an agenda (every news agency does, if they say they don’t they are lying, you have to exercise editorial decisions as to what you cover and what you don’t, that is an agenda). NTD is a Taiwan centered news agency located in NY that is particularly insightful about the CCP. Sky news is located in Australia and are outside of the sphere of these mainstream US news agencies but concerned enough about China to stand their ground. Newsmax is trying to replace Fox as the mainstream conservative media. Then there are commentators who are extremely helpful. Steve Bannon’s war room is very keen on making sure every hour mentions what the mainstream media is saying as well as getting professionals that will give it to him straight even if he doesn’t like what he is hearing. He is fighting to keep his outlet from becoming an echo chamber. But he clearly identifies with the deplorables so if that is too much for you try Tucker Carlson. Dan Bongino is very funny and is like getting your commentary from a construction worker in a bar. On the flip side you have Crossroads with Joshua Phillip of the Epoch times. The Epoch times, Revolver and project Veritas are three investigative journalists organizations that are actually working as journalists (unlike Leslie Stahl of 60 minutes and Christian Amanpour who both think it is not their job to investigate and verify stories). CNN and the NY Times have both been exposed over and over again for being the mouthpiece of the Biden campaign. Project Veritas ran an expose of CNN in which their daily briefings were telling them how to cover the news in the way that best helps the Biden campaign, which includes not covering some of the biggest stories of this century. The NY Times ran a hit piece on the Trump administration that lied about who their “high ranking administrative” official was. They used that to justify keeping them “anonymous” only to be found out in the lie. Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook all censor stories they don’t like. They pretend they are an impartial platform but the algorithms they use prove they have done everything in their power to manipulate opinion against conservatives and for leftists.

Isaiah 13:9 See, the day of the Lord is coming —a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger—to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it. 10 The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light. 11 I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless.

If Trump had won the election despite the fraud we would not have learned about any of this. If the politicians and poll workers had repented and confessed about the fraud it wouldn’t be treason and most of them would have gotten off with a slap on the wrist. If the politicians and judges had judged righteously it would have been a tough pill to swallow but would have exonerated them from guilt in this crime. However, this has now opened the door for the Lord to “punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins”. The Lord has promised to “put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and to humble the pride of the ruthless”.

Review of the key point -- It is time to wake up!

Mark 14:41-42 He came back a third time and said, “Are you going to sleep all night? No—you’ve slept long enough. Time’s up. The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up. Let’s get going. My betrayer has arrived.”

The book of Revelation chapter 12 presents a great sign in the heavens. This sign appeared on the festival of trumpets in 2017. It signaled the beginning of the ten days of awe, which refer to the last ten years of the age of the Gentiles. The book of Joel tells you that there will be a worldwide pandemic that will shut down the world’s economy at the end of the age and when this happens “the day of the Lord is at hand”. Then in chapter 2 it says that there will be a total solar eclipse which will signal the start of the Day of the Lord. In Amos it also says that there is a total solar eclipse at the start of the Day of the Lord and it says this takes place in the middle of a religious festival. Then in Ezekiel it also says the Day of the Lord begins with a total solar eclipse and that this takes place over a land that Israel doesn’t know and a nation they don’t know.

Because of this I think it is important to consider the total solar eclipse that took place December 14th, 2020 over Chile and the same day that the US selects the electors from the electoral college. December 14th is in the middle of the Hanukkah celebration, which is a festival that lasts eight days. The number eight is significant because in Hebrew the word clearly refers to the rapture in many ways. In Luke the account of the Mount of Transfiguration is considered an account of the first rapture, in that account it says “after about eight days”. 2Corinthians chapter 6 describes the feast of dedication (Hanukkah) and the last eight chapters of 2 Corinthians cover the eight days of light. Paul likens the New Testament ministry to the Festival of Hanukkah, so “after about eight days” could also refer to the end of this age close to the end of the New Testament ministry.

So then consider this “Jericho March” rally. Jesus said that the only sign that would be given the wicked generation was the sign of Jonah for just as Jonah was a sign to Nineveh for 40 days so also the Lord would be a sign to this evil generation. Jonah walked the streets of Nineveh in protest for 40 days. In Luke the Lord told the believers they were to watch and be ready for the thief to prevent their house from being broken into. In other words to “stop the steal”. At the end of the age you will have a totalitarian government over a great part of the world in which the Antichrist will be in power. Everything is ready to go, the pandemic sets the stage for requiring everyone to get the mark of the beast, a "pandemic passport" before they can buy or sell. However, they can never pull this off without first dealing with the US. Stealing the election is how the thief breaks into the house.

There is another type of the rapture in Luke and that is the birth of John the Baptist. If you read the Father’s prophecy it is very much like that for the rapture. Elizabeth (which means dedication) becomes pregnant and hides herself for six months until she couldn’t hide it anymore. When Trump brokered the peace agreement between Israel and the UAE and then Bahrain over Jerusalem, you could no longer hide the fact that the Day of the Lord was here. That peace treaty was September 15th, six months earlier was March 15th when NYC first shut down due to the Pandemic. Three months later is roughly December 15th, but according to the Jewish calendar a month is 30 days which would make it December 14th, the same day as the total solar eclipse. These are signs to us, just like signs on the side of the highway saying "NYC 100 miles".

What about crossing the Jordan? A river signifies the economy. During the Pandemic the Lord made the world’s economy stand up in its place so that we could walk across on dry ground. Because we had a lock down we didn’t have to commute 1 ½ hours a day, and in many other ways we were freed up to focus exclusively on the word of God and God’s move on this earth.

You will discover that the “mainstream media” are the “counterfeit apostles and prophets” the “pseudo prophets”. They are the false prophets sharing the narrative of the “globalists” the ones that want to put the antichrist in power. So then, what sources of news are credible?

NTD, Sky News and Newsmax are three news agencies that all have an agenda (every news agency does, if they say they don’t they are lying, you have to exercise editorial decisions as to what you cover and what you don’t, that is an agenda). NTD is a Taiwan centered news agency located in NY that is particularly insightful about the CCP. Sky news is located in Australia and are outside of the sphere of these mainstream US news agencies but concerned enough about China to stand their ground. Newsmax is trying to replace Fox as the mainstream conservative media. Then there are commentators who are extremely helpful. Steve Bannon’s war room is very keen on making sure every hour mentions what the mainstream media is saying as well as getting professionals that will give it to him straight even if he doesn’t like what he is hearing. He is fighting to keep his outlet from becoming an echo chamber. But he clearly identifies with the deplorables so if that is too much for you try Tucker Carlson. Dan Bongino is very funny and is like getting your commentary from a construction worker in a bar. On the flip side you have Crossroads with Joshua Phillip of the Epoch times. The Epoch times, Revolver and project Veritas are three investigative journalists organizations that are actually working as journalists (unlike Leslie Stahl of 60 minutes and Christian Amanpour who both think it is not their job to investigate and verify stories). CNN and the NY Times have both been exposed over and over again for being the mouthpiece of the Biden campaign. Project Veritas ran an expose of CNN in which their daily briefings were telling them how to cover the news in the way that best helps the Biden campaign, which includes not covering some of the biggest stories of this century. The NY Times ran a hit piece on the Trump administration that lied about who their “high ranking administrative” official was. They used that to justify keeping them “anonymous” only to be found out in the lie. Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook all censor stories they don’t like. They pretend they are an impartial platform but the algorithms they use prove they have done everything in their power to manipulate opinion against conservatives and for leftists.

Isaiah 13:9 See, the day of the Lord is coming —a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger—to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it. 10 The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light. 11 I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless.

If Trump had won the election despite the fraud we would not have learned about any of this. If the politicians and poll workers had repented and confessed about the fraud it wouldn’t be treason and most of them would have gotten off with a slap on the wrist. If the politicians and judges had judged righteously it would have been a tough pill to swallow but would have exonerated them from guilt in this crime. However, this has now opened the door for the Lord to “punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins”. The Lord has promised to “put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and to humble the pride of the ruthless”.

Eye opening is all I can say, also wanted to say that TFI Global news, based in India has very up to date news that keeps and eye on China, Russia and the middle east, I also like WION which is also out of India they have live streaming world news, and with world news you can see the attitude of the world is really dismayed with the 46th prez. I also like Ben Shapiro and subscribe to Forbes News, Sky News, End Times Headlines, Fox news, Facts matter w/Roman Balmakov (which is Epoch Times) The Watchman with Erick Stackelbeck (they get notifications directly from IDF) Charlie Kirk, and I follow Amir Tsarfati, Alex Jones Jack Hibbs and Trump on Telegram which is uncensored a really good platform but all who I follow suspended comments cause of the constant trolls, which is okay by me. Amir sends numerous messages from Israel on moment by moment happenings in the middle east. I also subscribe to NTD but I can't possibly keep up with all the news but I find reading the message titles keeps me informed, but I do keep up with Amir Tsarfati and The Watchman and actually watch their broadcasts on YouTube. Also monthly prophecy updates from Amir Tsarfati, JD Farag, and Athey Creek which are very good. I don't like Newsmax as I have found claims in their titles and sat throught the whole broadcast and the story not even mentioned, just CLICKBAIT. LOL and most my emails are filled with conservative news titles that sometimes get me to click but I'm always disapointed with all the bombardment of ads. AND I follow you thread as you always have up to date videos as to what's happening in the world. Great article! God Bless and keep looking up!

I purchsed the pdf file and intend to read this digital book, but so far this "Tip of the iceberg" video is spot on as he says a new world order ruled by the antichrist will be here in 2025, which if you take into account that we are already in the last half of 2021 if tribulation starts very soon and add 3.5 years we will be at 2025. He shows quotes from Rabbis about Joe Biden and how he will bring us to the days of Noah.

"Those whom Jupiter wishes to destroy, he first deprives of reason"

The video lays out the links to the occult made by George Bush prior to 9/11, in the names of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and other political leaders who have openly prayed to these occult gods.

"Biden's larger than life, bare chested figure is shown surrounded by "holy spirits" of twitter "saints". The latter include kneeling Democrat leaders in the US congress, Dr. Anthony Fauci, fawning journalists and manager-class devotees eagerly consuming the "holy scripture" from what is probably the latest Barack Obama memoir. The former president himself is shown as a six winged seraphim bracketed by the likewise angelic Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton, with the trio gazing beningly from the heavens. A crowd of mask wearing suburban laymen on Earth celebrate Biden's ascension."

Hosea 11 -- Judgement on America

“When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 2 But the more they were called, the more they went away from me.

Let’s consider a current events case, people who want to get away from having a police force. No one likes to be stopped by the police, no one likes to get a ticket, no one likes to get arrested and go to jail. It’s not hard to see why some people would think that it would be better to get away from the police.

They sacrificed to the Baals and they burned incense to images.

Why do you think the politicians are supporting this? The federal government is now pushing laws and initiatives to federalize local law enforcement. There is no way for a tyrant to take over America without federalizing the police. Fighting door to door in cities is brutal, destructive and the worst form of fighting. You could never get the US military to try and invade and take over the US city by city. However, if you nationalize the police making them the modern day “Gestapo” then you can take control without hardly firing a shot. Politicians are all about increasing their power. Education and Police are the two biggest budgets in the country, if you control those budgets you become fabulously powerful.

3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms; but they did not realize it was I who healed them.

I have lived in England as well as Taiwan. I have visited Italy, Mexico, Hong Kong and Korea. The US deals with racism far better than any country I have ever seen. Let's consider "Ephraim" this was the younger son of Joseph who was blessed by Jacob to be greater than his older son. If you read the blessing on Joseph he represents scientists (his brother Benjamin represents engineers). The two sons of Joseph who got the double portion represent Germany which was the first country to be a leading scientific nation and then during Hitler's time the Jewish scientists moved to the US and from that point on the US has led the world in scientific advancement. Germany is Manasseh and the US is Ephraim.

4 I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love. To them I was like one who lifts a little child to the cheek, and I bent down to feed them. 5 “Will they not return to Egypt and will not Assyria rule over them because they refuse to repent?

That is what is going to happen. We left tyranny, the first country ever to do that, and now we will return to tyranny. Without safety and security everything else collapses. People are afraid to go to the park or walk the street, small businesses shut down as the street becomes more dangerous. What cop is going to want to enforce some law about vagrants, or drug use, or small time crime? Look what happened to them when they tried to deal with someone selling cigarettes, or stealing cigarettes, or having a phony $20 bill. So the Deli’s and small shops will become a target. If you have less foot traffic and more crime they will begin to shut down. Once they are gone the thugs will terrorize the fast food restaurants and extortion will proliferate. Kids will be afraid to go to school. Those who can leave the cities will leave the cities leaving behind the poorest. 80% of the tax revenue comes from 20% of the people, a city could have 5-6% of the people flee and wind up losing close to 40% of its tax revenue.

6 A sword will flash in their cities; it will devour their false prophets and put an end to their plans.

Who is pushing this idea: the mainstream media. They will be devoured by the monster they unleash. These false prophets may understand that this is all a ruse to get more power for the political elites, but the thugs on the street do not understand that. Biden and Pelosi and Waters can use them for their design, but these thugs owe no allegiance to Biden or Pelosi. The fire will burn down the entire forest, not just the trees you select. This prophecy that the "sword will flash in their cities" may refer to a nuclear missile attack on US cities. Our false prophets are all located on the mainstream media and located in these cities. They will be devoured in this attack.

7 My people are determined to turn from me. Even though they call me God Most High, I will by no means exalt them. Many of those who are turning from the Lord and His ways are “Christians”. 8 “How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I treat you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboyim? My heart is changed within me; all my compassion is aroused.

Admah and Zeboyim were destroyed with Sodom and Gomorrah. There are two raptures, one is likened to Noah entering the ark and closing the door a week before the rain started. The other is compared to Lot who was rescued from Sodom before it was destroyed. Noah had a glorious deliverance, Lot had a shameful deliverance. But it was Abraham who begged God for his salvation. Lot was not treated like Admah or Zeboyim or Sodom or Gomorrah. God’s compassion was aroused by the prayers of the faithful ones to rescue him. One interpretation has there being two raptures, one before the tribulation and one in the middle of the tribulation. However, another interpretation has this rapture being like both of these events. In this one the election of Biden has been like the start of the rain forcing all the believers into the ark. One week later the rain comes and destroys them all. However, in the rapture the rain is "fire" falling from the sky, this "sword flashing" in the cities. Just like Lot, as he left the fire came down, well in the same way as we go up they come down. In this understanding the only way someone who is left behind will be saved will be if they are "devoted to the Lord fully" meaning they choose to get their head chopped off rather than take the mark of the beast. It does seem that a number of dreams and visions align better with this second interpretation.

9 I will not carry out my fierce anger, nor will I devastate Ephraim again. For I am God, and not a man— the Holy One among you. I will not come against their cities. 10 They will follow the Lord; he will roar like a lion. When he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.

From the west or from the sea indicates many things. The west is the new world, it is the western hemisphere, it represents the 20th century, unlike the “old world”. The sea signifies the nations whereas the land indicates the Jews. We are talking about a modern, new world people of God from the west, from the nations. Ephraim is only one half of one of the twelve tribes and yet they represent a very influential group among Israel, so much so that Hosea is using Ephraim to refer to the people of God as a whole. The US was not just a center of science, they were also a center of evangelism for the world. Although we represent 5% of the world's population, about one half of one twelfth, we are a very influential tribe.

11 They will come from Egypt, trembling like sparrows, from Assyria, fluttering like doves. I will settle them in their homes,” declares the Lord.

Matthew 2:1-15 -- Outwitting Satan

1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

We have seen many Youtube videos concerning the heavenly signs. I will give you a link for the overview of the signs in the heavens that have taken place in the last seven years

This is simply one example, there are many who noticed these signs and have put up videos concerning the significance of them.

3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born.

This is very disturbing to me. If you look at this story Herod believes that there was a sign in the heavens, He believes there is a baby born that was prophesied of by the prophets, and yet his response is not to repent but to kill thousands of babies. How sick and twisted are these world leaders. They are incapable of repentance, their conscience has been seared, this is why there is going to be judgement seat where some will be cast into hell.

5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: 6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”

According to the book of Revelation the church in Philadelphia has a little power, they are not great in strength, but they have been faithful to the Lord and He promises to keep them out of the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole earth. He also says that those of the synagogue of Satan will come and worship at their feet and know that God is truly in your midst. Among God’s people the church in Philadelphia is like the town of Bethlehem. Not a great city like Jerusalem where all the Bible experts and scholars are, but rather a town with shepherds and common people that was not greatly esteemed. But when the Lord returns and the faithful ones are raptured all will know that God was in their midst.

7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”

He is treacherous and crooked like a snake. The arrogance of these men will be their downfall. He got to his position because of his treachery, his ability to deceive and lay traps for the sheep and those who don’t know the deep things of Satan. It has worked for him before, but he made one little mistake. He may be able to fool people, but He can’t fool God. What he has done here is to reveal how devious and evil his heart is.

9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.

This is a strange description for those of us who don’t pay much attention to the signs in the heavens. However, for those that do they can immediately understand this. The planets were called “wandering stars” because they were moving around the heavens. However, Earth goes around the Sun faster than Jupiter, the planet that denotes King Jesus (if you look at a picture of Jupiter it has stripes on it like the stripes by which we were healed when Jesus was scourged, and there is a big red dot in the side of Jupiter just like Jesus was pierced in the side with a spear, and it is the biggest planet). What this means is that Jupiter will appear to move backwards and even stand still at different times. By itself that could not be the star, but what also happens is that Jupiter will be in conjunction with other stars and planets. What that means is you see the two of them as one especially bright star. This is clearly a description of this process. That said, if you want to know more go to that link I provided.

10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

These three treasures could signify God’s divine nature, the Holy Spirit that carries our prayers to God, and the effectiveness of the death of Jesus Christ the Son. What is quite interesting is that Mary and Joseph are obviously not wealthy. If you look at Mary’s prayer and the fact that Jesus was born in a manger that seems like a reasonable conclusion. These gifts though instantly provided what they needed to then flee to Egypt as they are about to be told. If we are children of God then God, our Father, will provide what we need when we need it.

13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”

I think this is very interesting to anyone who has ever been deceived and taken advantage of by some scam artist. Why is it that God warns Joseph and Mary but didn’t warn you? Let me tell you a story about my wife. A friend of hers wanted her to invest in real estate so she could get rich. Knowing that she was supposed to be under the headship of her husband she asked me to go listen to the pitch so I could give my approval. I met this woman and discovered enough to realize this was a scam. I told my wife it was a scam and to have nothing to do with her. However, that is not what she wanted to hear, so she called me an idiot and went ahead anyway and invested and lost all her money. In another instance I was sitting in a large family meeting with my wife’s family. They were discussing getting involved in an investment scheme that sounded like a ponzi scheme to me. I told them that if they invested in it they would lose all their money. I was shushed, they invested and they lost all their money. The issue is not that God doesn’t warn us, the issue is that we refuse to listen to His warnings.

14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”

Look at all these prophesies. If you had studied them at the time and knew them they would have led you to Jesus. Some knew that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem but didn’t bother going with the wise men to see Him? Others knew about the sign in the heaven that the Magi saw. They were taught by Daniel who based it on Numbers 24 and other key verses and prophesies. The Old Testament is a covenant that God’s people had with God. It is like a contract and every little word in that contract is significant. But that is not the only place God speaks. We know that the prophecy of Enoch referred to as Enoch 1 is also divinely inspired because it is quoted and referenced in the Bible. Enoch 1 is not part of our covenant with God, but it is a divinely inspired prophecy confirmed by the apostles. There are those that make up excuses for why they don’t need to study these prophecies. I agree that there will be many who are faithful servants and yet do not know many of these prophecies, but I also agree with Jesus when He said that those who keep His word love Him.

Hosea 12 -- Ephraim is Laodicea

1 Ephraim feeds on the wind; he pursues the east wind all day and multiplies lies and violence.

What an interesting phrase. He feeds on the wind. Earlier in this book it said they sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. When you make vain and empty promises and when you intentionally promote strife and division these things will come back to haunt you. This continues that thought, they feed on this. For example the media will take a story about a cop shooting and killing someone and feed on it. They will multiply lies and violence. Ultimately the story will be exposed as a lie but then they will move onto a new story. They pursue these stories all day.

He makes a treaty with Assyria and sends olive oil to Egypt.

We call this the “deep state” where behind the scenes all these different forces are allied together for some nefarious purpose.

2 The Lord has a charge to bring against Judah; he will punish Jacob according to his ways and repay him according to his deeds.

Jacob refers to all untransformed believers, Judah to the two tribes and Ephraim to the ten. Every believer must be transformed, none are exempt. Every believer will reap what they sow. The New Testament says “judgement begins at the house of God”.

3 In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel; as a man he struggled with God. 4 He struggled with the angel and overcame him; he wept and begged for his favor. He found him at Bethel and talked with him there— 5 the Lord God Almighty, the Lord is his name!

Life is a struggle, a wrestling match with God, a mission of seeking God and discovering who He is.

6 But you must return to your God; maintain love and justice, and wait for your God always.

This reminds me of what the Lord told the church in Ephesus. Every believer comes to the same fork in the road where they will leave their first love and they must repent and return.

7 The merchant uses dishonest scales and loves to defraud.

The enemy tries to defraud us. Our first love was when me met Jesus Christ the savior who saved us from our sins. But somewhere along the line the enemy will try to sell us on other things to replace that love using a dishonest scale to make them seem more important. If you take that road you will become self righteous, you will have to repent and return to the Lord who is our righteousness.

8 Ephraim boasts, “I am very rich; I have become wealthy. With all my wealth they will not find in me any iniquity or sin.”

Ephraim sounds like Laodicea. This is where the road of self righteousness leads. You are blind, you think you are wealthy and have no idea that you are poor, wretched and blind.

9 “I have been the Lord your God ever since you came out of Egypt; I will make you live in tents again, as in the days of your appointed festivals.

How do you come out of Egypt? How do you get out of tyranny? Gandhi showed everyone how to do it. The British enslaved India by taking their cloth and making clothes for them. Gandhi showed everyone how to make their own clothes, it was called “homespun”. It may not be as fancy, but if you don’t need the British to make your clothes then they will have no function and will have to leave. Likewise, how do you leave Egypt? You leave in tents. If you are willing to give up your fancy house Egypt has no hold over you. That is how we deal with Amazon, Google, Twitter, MLB, NBA, etc. If they want to indoctrinate your kids then pull them out of school and homeschool. If 40% of the kids leave the public school it would be catastrophic to the public school.

10 I spoke to the prophets, gave them many visions and told parables through them.”

We need to leave Hollywood and the mainstream media.

11 Is Gilead wicked? Its people are worthless!

Let’s be honest, Hollywood is worthless, the NBA is worthless, the mainstream media is worthless.

Do they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal? Their altars will be like piles of stones on a plowed field.

Organized Christianity denoted by Ephraim referring to the ten tribes is filled with idolatry. It isn’t even hidden but out in the open, plain to see. When the Lord looks at the corruption that He is going to deal with you can be sure that this is at the top of His list. These altars will become a heap of rubble, trash. When these churches are exposed for their idolatry they will become abandoned and will be like a heap of rubble.

12 Jacob fled to the country of Aram; Israel served to get a wife, and to pay for her he tended sheep.

This is the path we must take.

13 The Lord used a prophet to bring Israel up from Egypt, by a prophet he cared for him.

The word of God is a lamp for our path, it will bring us up from Egypt, from the world, from the oppression of Pharaoh.

14 But Ephraim has aroused his bitter anger; his Lord will leave on him the guilt of his bloodshed and will repay him for his contempt.

So if you look at God’s people Jacob had his faults, Israel had their faults, but in cases after case God made a way for them. However, Ephraim, these self righteous believers who think they are rich not knowing they are poor, wretched and blind, God will leave blood guiltiness on them. Once again this is fair, they left their first love who would have been their righteousness and they trusted in their own righteousness. They treated the Lord’s sacrifice with contempt. This is the state of Christianity in the US and judgement on them.
