Summary of Bible references on the Rapture

[ZNP]

Jesus is showing Himself to all who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Song of Songs 2:6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

There is an assurance of salvation. We are in the hands of Jesus and no one can snatch us out of His hands. The banqueting house is the Lord's table and when we celebrate the Lord's table we are renewing our covenant vow with the Lord. When the Jews took the Passover it was a covenant vow that caused the avenging death angel to pass over their home. Every time you take the bread and the wine you do it in remembrance of the Lord Jesus and the covenant that you have with Him. That is a protection to you and your house. If you love the Lord then we have a promise that all things that happen to you work out for good. You have a calling and all things that happen ultimately are helping with having you fulfill that calling.

7 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

I am going through this book because it shows us Christ and the Church as the Bride and the groom and because I am looking at it from the context of the rapture and the end of the age. One problem everyone has with the end of the age is letting the events unfold. Instead we try to guess what different things mean. In the 1980s we knew that the world did not have the capability to monitor every person on earth and control the buying and selling of every person. So we tried to interpret this word as only applying to Europe. We didn't see an established priesthood in Israel and yet we knew they had to restart the oblations and sacrifices so we simply assumed that could be done very quickly. We were aware of the prophecies in the word of God and were trying to "wake them up before the Lord was ready". Today we have RFID, we have Starlink, the world has tested a social credit score and we have digital currency. We have developed AI and software that can handle big data and we have built quantum computers that work. Also Israel has sacrificed a red heifer and gathered its ashes for the oblations. This means they have a priesthood that has been raised and they have raised the tabernacle of David in Shiloh. We are not forcing these things to "wake up" as they did in 1988 or with Y2K.

8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

We heard the voice of the Lord coming with the Pandemic. It was the book of Joel being spoken to us announcing the Day of the Lord was at hand. We saw great signs in the heavens like the Revelation 12 sign and the Writing on the Wall sign.

9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.

We saw the Psalm 83 war fulfilled in 2023 and 2024, we saw the prophecy in Jeremiah about breaking the bow of Elam fulfilled, and now we see hooks in the jaw of Putin of Russia drawing him down to the middle east to defend Iran, starting the Ezekiel 38 war. Jesus is showing Himself to all who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

normal isn't coming back, Jesus is

Song of Songs 2:10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

This is precisely what was said by the watchmen when they began to see these signs unfold in 2017. This reveals where your heart is. Think about a kid on Christmas morning, they are waiting until they are allowed to jump up and go grab their stocking. The other typical response to an alarm clock is to hit the snooze button and roll over. How many Christians have been hitting the snooze button over and over again. When the signs in the heavens were spotted in 2017 their response was that this was astrology, something of the occult. That was bogus, God told us clearly He put the sun, moon and stars in the heavens for signs and seasons. Then when the pandemic came along they said to calm down, things would go back to normal. Hence the expression from the watchmen "normal isn't coming back, Jesus is". They shrugged at an illegal vaccine mandate causing people to be fired and ostracized. This demonstrated a dress rehearsal for a mandated mark of the beast, you can argue those refusing are putting everyone else at risk. Then we saw the Psalm 83 war in Israel, which is God's timepiece. We saw the bow of Elam broken when the US bombed the nuclear sites in Elam with MOAB bombs. And now we are seeing Russia turned back in Ukraine and being drawn down to the Mideast with hooks in her mouth, security agreements made with BRICS to protect oil coming out of the Mideast.

11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

The spiritual year begins with us eating the Passover, the body and blood shed for us by Jesus Christ. This is the enactment of our covenant with Jesus. This is when we sow seeds to the spirit and later we have the summer when we bring in the harvest. Once we have this big harvest and a big harvest festival we then think the Lord will return. But that is a mistake, first we need the winter and the latter rain. There is a faulty doctrine that says "the church" will be raptured prior to the tribulation. As usual the best errors are based on the truth. If you read Revelation 2 and 3 you can conclude that Smyrna and Philadelphia will both be raptured. One may refer to the saints who are dead in Christ and the other to those who are alive at His coming. So to say the "church" will be raptured is based on truth as long as you are referring to Philadelphia and Smyrna. But there is no such promise for the other five churches. It is reasonable to interpret Ephesus, Smyrna and Pergamos as historical churches which have all passed away and that maybe a third of those who died in Christ will be raised. Then of the four churches here at the end of the age: Thyatira (Catholic church), Sardis (Protestant church), Philadelphia (Evangelical church) and Laodicea (apostate church) only one fourth of them will be taken as a church. According to the word a few from Thyatira and Sardis will also be taken. My point is that the last seven years is an accelerated view of the entire church age. The rapture will be another latter rain for all the seeds that have been sown but have not sprouted yet. There will be a huge harvest at the end of the age in these last seven years that is far greater than the previous 1,960 years.

12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

This is what we saw with Dana Coverstone's dreams and many, many others having dreams and visions which they shared on Youtube. It was as though you could hear the singing of birds all over the earth. If you thought it was big after 2017 and after 2020, just wait until after the rapture.

13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

In the last few years there has been an outpouring of various Christians starting channels on Youtube or even this blog. That is the fig tree putting forth green figs. Many times their fruit wasn't ripe yet. But that is how trees operate, the fruit appears before it is ripe. Still the earth was filled with the fragrance of Christians praising the Lord and declaring the wonderful works of God.

14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

Satan was attacking. He was shadow banning the channels, he was censoring the channels, and so the Christians had to hide in the clefts of the rock. They would refer to things like C + 10 + 9, in order to avoid the censors. Meanwhile the Lord was compelling everyone to speak.

15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

Then there was a spiritual war to take the foxes. To expose the algorithms, to expose Epstein and all the evil taking place, to expose the corruption in Minnesota, California and NY. This is what you see in the spring. The birds are singing and the foxes are trying to eat the eggs of the birds.

16 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.

In the last chapter we saw one lily surrounded by thorns, now we see a whole bed of lilies. During the church age this is how it has been, one by one seeds were sown, they were cared for, and individual saints came to the Lord. Then they gathered in the church, in the banqueting house. They operated below the radar but now at the end of the age you can see these lilies speaking and proclaiming Jesus all over the earth. One way to discern the speaking is if it is good for food. Do you get fed, do you get watered?

17 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

My perspective of "until the day break" is the Day of the Lord. Until the seven year tribulation starts. Bether means separation, the mountains of separation. To be sanctified is to be separated unto the Lord. The evil servant eats and drinks with the drunken, there is no separation and as a result he beats his fellow servants. This is what the apostate church misses, they emphasize forgiveness and ignore sanctification. To be a roe or a hart skipping on the mountains is a picture of the resurrection life, and we should be on the mountains of separation or sanctification. During the courtship process there should be separation, and sanctification. This is the issue with the world, no separation and so they have fornication instead of sanctification.

 

[ZNP]

I was asked how certain am I that the Day of the Lord is upon us?

This is why I started my blog in 2020. I had to move it to this forum a few years later. But I have been looking at all the verses, all the prophecies to get a handle on where we are.

I feel quite certain that Joel, which tells us what takes place when the day of the Lord is "at hand" refers to the pandemic in 2020. I feel very certain that the Psalm 83 war refers to Hamas attacking Israel and the war in 2023 and 2024. I also feel this is a fulfillment of the Lord saying it would be as in the days of Noah. Hamas means violence in Hebrew and in the days of Noah the world was filled with violence. I feel very certain that the prophecy in Jeremiah 49 about the breaking of Elam's bow was fulfilled when we bombed the nuclear sites in Elam with MOABs. I believe BRICS refers to the ten kings replacing the US dollar. I believe that Russia is being turned back in Ukraine and being drawn down into the Mid East with hooks in the jaw, just like Ezekiel 38 said. I think Russia has an agreement with the BRICS nations to protect the oil coming out of the Mid East and the US attacking Iran is forcing them to go an honor the agreement they made with their mouth.

I believe the Revelation 12 sign in the heavens in 2017 was a major sign from the Lord that the day of the Lord was at hand. I believe the three solar eclipses that transversed the US from 2017 to 2024 writing out Aleph Tav (Alpha and Omega) onto the US was a fulfillment of the Writing on the Wall sign in Daniel. I believe this sign was fully translated in 2025 and we are now in the evening of 2025 by the Hebrew calendar which is when Babylon was overthrown.

I believe the Red Heifer sacrificed on July 1st according to the Torah, and the ashes were collected by the Temple institute for their purification tells us that the Priesthood in Israel has been restored, they have started the sacrifices and oblations (technically they don't call the burning of the red heifer a sacrifice, and although its ashes are used for oblations you can also argue that they have only set the stage to resume sacrifices and oblations). In order to make this sacrifice according to the Torah which they claim they did you have to be looking down into the Holy Sanctuary. Therefore I believe they have also raised the tabernacle of David again in Shiloh. Fulfilling that prophecy.

I also believe that with Starlink, RFID, Quantum computers, social credit score and digital currency everything is in place for the Mark of the Beast.

What we are seeing in the book of Song of Songs is a cycle that begins on Nisan 1. We receive Jesus on Nisan 14, as our Passover. We sow seeds, we reap the harvest, we celebrate the harvest and then we go through a winter. Prior to Nisan 1 for the next year you have the "latter rain". I think that refers to the rapture taking place prior to Nisan 1 and that after the rapture you will see this cycle repeated with a great harvest as many repent and turn to the Lord after seeing the rapture. Since there is some indication that this takes place on an appointed day that would point to Purim which takes place two weeks before Nisan 1.

Information of the 3 Days of Darkness 2-28-24

This is information that I have received through dreams, visions and words from the Lord Jesus Christ and Father God and presenting it to you in the best of my understanding. But as always you need to take it directly to the Lord Jesus Christ in prayer and discern it scripturally all I have provided in his name. Then proceed however the sweet Holy Spirit leads you in all things.

When the auroras also called the dancing colorful lights or northern lights appear to be seen simultaneously all over the word that is your warning signal from Father God to get inside. Do not stop to gaze at their beauty or snap pictures. You need to get home or inside a building for safety. The 3 Days of Darkness descends at noon, but which noon time Father God hasn’t clarified to me. This is why He has given the colorful auroras as a sign for His beloved little children. (Job 5:14; Amos 8:9)
How to prepare:

1. Pray and repent of your sins now before the 3 days of darkness comes. No one is promised a tomorrow unless God gives it.
2. Have a plan in place so that Lord willing, when the aurora’s appears your family/friends know exactly what to do, where to go, and how to get there before the 3 days of darkness fully descends.
3. If you can’t make it home or to a building, then stay in your vehicle. I recommend all to pray about keeping 3 days of food, drinks, and dark thick blankets. You will need to keep your head covered with the blankets from what is occurring in the darkness. And pray in Jesus Christ’s Name!
4. A person/persons caught out in the darkness without any protection in my understanding, no matter who it is will be torn into shreds by the demons, nephilim, and evil fallen angels that are released after being imprisoned and bound for so long. Please pray about this in Jesus Christ’s Name. (This is why the warning from Father God is given out of love about this in advance.)
5. A true Child of God who loves Jesus Christ and living a pleasing, holy an obedient life in Him doesn't have any reason to be afraid of the coming 3 days of darkness. These are those who will have some form of electrical power provided by our Father God as the Israelites did in the land of Goshen during the 3 days of darkness that covered the land of Egypt during Moses and Pharaoh’s days. (Exodus 10:21-23)
6. When the darkness comes and you find yourself without some form of electrical power and only able to use candlelight, this is a sign that you’re still being protected by Father God, but you have been found with sin in your life. Otherwise, you would have somehow had use of your electrical power.
7. This is time that should be spent by the true believers of Jesus Christ in prayer, reading the Word of God, and seeking for the salvation of others.
8. Lock all doors and windows, close all drapes and blinds and/or cover windows anyway you can, like taped cardboard, black plastic, towels, etc. if Jesus Christ leads you to do so. This is for those who might be in candlelight or have unsaved or small children that may try to open the doors or windows. Some of the evil demon spirits could be mimicking someone they know and love. If someone who isn’t spiritual prepared in Jesus Christ and isn’t accustomed already to seeing demons and such like, the shock of the horror of what they are seeing will cause many to lose their sanity of their minds and could cause heart failure.
9. If you find yourself by candlelight, then you will most likely hear the demons, Nephilim, and fallen angels screaming outside or their mimicking voices as someone you love or know professing to be trapped outside and begging to be let in. They are trying to trick you to open a door or window. IN JESUS CHRIST’S NAME, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR WINDOW! This will allow this evil outside to enter the place you are located at.
10. The darkness is of the outer darkness and is a thick darkness that is seen with spiritual eyes. Your physical eyes will see nothing except blackness. It will feel as if it is alive to the sinner and backslider. Many hearts shall fail them in fear of what has come. *Again, the true child of Jesus' Christ has no reason to fear these things because they stand in the power of His Name and authority.
11. During the 3 days of darkness no one will come and go out of the place they are in until it's over. No work. No school. No running errands. No anything for 3 days until Father God lifts the darkness by His holy command.
12. If you are not sure in your heart where your relationship is with Father God and Jesus Christ, then please pray about having 3 days’ worth of food and drink for yourself and others. Ask sweet Holy Spirit how to prepare in Jesus Christ’s name.

Also, this is for those with electrical power too. You need to have enough food and drinks for all.

1. This is the set aside time for the demons and fallen angels once bound to be released as well as others for the end time days to be fulfilled. This is why it is recommended for you not to look outside or be outside. Seeing so much evil can cause people to possibly have heart attacks or lose their minds from the horror and terror that occurs from the sight. But also for many it will be the last chance to repent of their sins. This is God's mercy and love even in judgment.
2. If purchasing candles for yourself and others just in case you are found without electrical lights, then please use wisdom. Please purchase unscented candles. I say this because perfumes and scented items originate from the Marine kingdom of darkness. If you already purchased candles to use, then if they are scented and from the Marine kingdom, they will most likely have curses, bewitchments and spell like things cast upon them that will attract the evil to your location. They will still be outside but there will be more than if you had used different candles.
3. If you have already purchased scented candles, then please pray over them, and ask sweet Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ’s name to reveal if there are any that you need to remove witchcraft from. Also, ask if there’s candles that you need to dispose of. Some items when accursed a demon is a physical part of the item, and you cannot break the witchcraft power off it. When you pray and ask these questions in Jesus Christ’s Name and get an answer, then discern what spirit is speaking to you. Is it from God or the devil? You do this by the following verses. (1 John 4:1-3; 13-15 & 1 Corinthians 12:3)
4. If you are with candlelight, you will still need to focus on the Lord Jesus Christ. You will also battle in your mind an onslaught of mental attacks from the evil outside. The battle we already know begins in the mind. Repent and stay in prayer in Jesus Christ’s Name if you haven’t already by this time.
5. Make sure to have needed essentials on hand for all such as toilet paper, matches/lighters, your Holy Bibles, plates, forks, etc. If by candlelight pray about having an ice cooler to keep items cold if led by the sweet Holy Spirit to do so.
6. If you’re in a region of land where the weather is still cold, then pray about having additional blankets on hand for ready use.
7. Pray about purchasing a fire extinguisher where candles might be in use.
8. Pray in Jesus Christ's name for which preparations He would lead you to do and any others that may not be written here.
9. When Rachel weeps meaning the children under the age of accountability (innocent minded) and those other of innocent minds will be removed before or at the beginning of the 3 days of darkness, the demons may try to mimic the missing children’s voices. Parents will be more susceptible to open the door to a child or children that have disappeared. Do not open the door! It is the enemy and the children are taken to be with Jesus Christ so they do not have to endure the horror of what is coming.
10. When taping up the windows/doors do not apply the tape to the glass itself because when the heat of the sun is removed by the darkness for 3 days, and the temperature cools down outside combined with the warm temperature in your homes & etc. it can possibly cause condensation and the tape might come loose.

I strongly recommend you seek Jesus Christ for more details and ask Him for verses in the Holy Bible that will reveal the truth of His words.

God bless. Stay under the Blood of Jesus Christ always!

153 PURIM FISH RAPTURE COUNTDOWN ️

 

[ZNP]

From Purim in 2026 (March 2nd/3rd) to the Feast of Trumpets in 2029 is 1,290 days.

Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

This is mind blowing! We have always interpreted "the daily sacrifice being taken away" to the Jews. But why would we do that? Since Jesus has been sacrificed is God really going to consider the daily sacrifice of sheep and goats? Could this term "taken away" refer to the rapture and that the raptured saints were the ones who were making a daily sacrifice?

Now the ministry of the two witnesses is 1,260 days or 30 days less. If that ministry were to begin 30 days later it would begin on Passover. If they were killed on Tishrei 6 then three and a half days later would be the day of Atonement when they are raised.

Training for warfare

Song of Songs 3:1 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

In chapter 2 the Lord is looking in at the gate, He is telling her to rise up and come away because the winter is past but she continues to remain in bed talking about not waking her love until He pleases. But when she finally wakes up, he is not there. What happens when we first get saved is you have a “honeymoon”. You are brought into the banquet house, you love the testimonies, you love the banner over you being love, and you don’t want anything to change. But the Lord is on the move, things are changing, the season is changing. It is time to wake up and we don’t want to wake up.

2 I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

I was a Christian volunteer on a construction site. We were building a large training and printing center for a Christian ministry and also a church meeting hall. All of a sudden they started acting crazy, pouring cement late into the night past midnight. I was working 12 hours a day from 8am to 8pm but now it was virtually around the clock. It didn’t make any sense. Then one morning we had finally poured the last bit of concrete we were going to pour the night before and it was early in the morning. We would pull the forms off this concrete this morning when I saw the man in charge of the concrete operation, but he wasn’t dressed to work, rather he had dress shoes, jacket and tie. I and another brother asked him what was up and he told us he was leaving, he was going to start classes at the university that morning. That was the reason for the rush, they wanted to finish before he left. I was angry, why didn’t they tell us? But the flip side is “why didn’t I ask?”

3 The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?

This happens frequently in the Christian life, one day everything is perfect, the next day it seems the Lord has left you. The reality is that we are being trained to pay attention to the Spirit. We didn’t want to hear that the Spirit was on the move, so at first we ignored that. But soon we learn, don’t ignore that, if the Spirit says “get up, we are going” then get up and go with the Spirit. It is much better than waking up to realize the Lord is gone and you can’t find Him.

4 It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

This is training. I was on a field trip in college. It was a two day trip and we spent the night camping. Around the campfire they were telling off color jokes and stories. The next day we are in the van coming back. Each van had about twelve people, our van was being driven by one of the students and I was in the very back of the van. So I ask the guy driving if I could tell a story, he says to go ahead. I tell them the story of Adam and Eve and how God was asking them “where are you?” after they had sinned. It was a gospel message and the van got real quiet, and you could tell the driver was very angry. Right at that moment the Spirit said to me “tell them they could die at any minute and they need to repent now!” I said “no Lord, I preach the high gospel” (I had been taught that warning about hell fire was a “low” gospel). But the Spirit was insistent, “tell them they could die right now and they have to repent!”. Again, I thought this was some kind of test and refused. Then the Spirit said “I don’t have time to waste with you” and at that moment this driver pulled over the double yellow line to pass this car in front of us while going up a hill. He floored it and the van was laboring to get up to 75. When we were even with the other car an oncoming car appeared at the top of the hill. He immediately hit the brake, but so did the car we were trying to pass and so we were still exactly even with that car. As soon as he saw that he immediately floored it again, but so did the car we were next to. This guy was trying just as hard as he was to let us get back into our lane but we were still even with the car and were back up to 75 with that car coming at us at 65. Everyone in that car was frozen with fear, looking at what was going on. Meanwhile, I realized I had made a big mistake, and I was repenting. At that moment I realized that doctrine about a “high gospel” and “low gospel” was garbage. He then signaled to the left and pulled onto the shoulder going the wrong way, as this car zoomed past us. This is how we get trained. She was so sure that they should just camp out at the Banquet of wine, but the Lord was on the move. But we live and learn. Confess your sins, repent, and grow from them.

5 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

This is how she processes these lessons. This is what she said after she first experienced the banqueting house, and now this is what she says after learning that when the Lord says “rise up” to do it. The Christian life is similar to Israel going through the wilderness from one campsite to the next. When the Spirit camps in one spot they stay until the Spirit rises up to move.

6 Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?

Ultimately, after forty years they were a trained army.

Go forth and behold king Solomon

7 Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.

At this time you begin to appreciate the brothers and sisters and see that they are mighty men of faith. I was at a Lord’s table meeting and this brother shared a testimony of when he was on a construction site. He was a small, wiry guy, and he goes up to this very big guy at the site and says “hey big man, do you want to know why God made you so big?” He then hands him a gospel tract “the purpose of man”. So the next day I am at college and me and two other brothers are handing out gospel tracts in this cafeteria. We divide the room in half and I take the half with the football players. I go up to the “chief” table first and I go to the guy everyone else seems to be deferring to and say “Hey big man, do you want to know why God made you so big?” and put down the tract “the purpose of man”. When we were done and came back to our table to finish our lunch the other two brothers told me “Do you know who that was? He is the Big man on campus, what did you say to him?” I told them and their jaws dropped. The entire cafeteria emptied out to where the four of us were the only ones left. This guy had not touched the tract I had put down. He picks up his tray, takes it to the dishwasher and on the way back his hand brushed his table and the tract was gone. He didn’t want anyone to see, but he wanted to know what was in that tract. This is how we get trained, we learn from one another.

8 They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.

The sword is the word of God combined with the Spirit. You have to speak a word that is led by the Spirit of God. There are different approaches, you must be trained by the Lord. I have learned a few important principles. First, I speak from behind a shield of faith. I put the word of God first, like a shield. Anyone who wants to take a shot at me must go through that word first. Second, when you do get attacked, don’t shy away, on the contrary you must speak more and more. Think about a sword fight. There is an expression, the best defense is a good offense. Third, stand your ground. Since my plan is to always stand my ground you start by not standing on something that is not your ground. Your personal testimony is your ground, your opinion or some doctrine may not be your ground. If you have a right standing then regardless of where the attack comes from you will be able to stand.

9 King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.

A chariot is for the movement of the army. The banqueting house is wonderful, but to be in the Lord’s army, on the move, that is fun and it is exciting.

10 He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.

Once I had just arrived at campus and parked in the parking lot on one side of campus and I had to go to the other side of campus to meet with a professor. I went into my bag figuring I would hand out gospel tracts as I walked across campus, but I only could find one crumpled tract at the bottom of the bag. So I decided I would pray over this tract for the Lord to lead me to the person that needed it. Every person I saw I prayed and each time the Spirit did not lead me to them. By the time I got to the professor’s office I was angry, I felt this doesn’t work, I’m giving this tract to the first person I see. When I stepped into the room outside his office there was a girl there that I knew, she was his girlfriend. I go up to her, thrust the tract in front of her and say “here, this is for you” in a gruff voice. She takes it and looks at it thoughtfully. I had expected a mocking tone but instead she said softly this is appropriate. For the first time I looked at the tract, it was “Life at best is very brief, like the falling of a leaf”. She said she had just been diagnosed with lung cancer.

11 Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.

When we go forth in the gospel we will behold Jesus as the king of kings, the Lord of lords, and the omniscient one who desires all to come to the saving knowledge of the gospel.

Transformed into a beautiful bride to match Jesus

Song of Songs 4:1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair;

One result of us being in the lord's presence and obeying the Lord is that we are transformed into this beautiful bride. Here we are looking at a very beautiful woman, the fact that the Bible tells us twice that she is fair is proof, by the mouth of two or three witnesses let a thing be established. What we are going to see in this chapter is the secret to beauty.

Behind the veil

thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks:

I have already discussed “Dove’s eyes” on page 4 regarding chapter 1:15. “Within thy locks”. The first mention of "within" is when Noah was shut up within the ark. The word that KJV translates as “locks” doesn’t mean hair, it means something that you fasten on. We would call it a veil. But if you were riding a motorcycle you might call it a helmet. If you are skiing you might call it goggles. If you are a horse you might call it Blinkers which help keep the horse focused and not distracted. The veil protects your eyes, it focuses your eyes and it limits what you can look at.

Having seen the world’s fair beauty,
Lord, I would be blind once more,
Lest I lose the loving presence
And delight I knew before (hymn – Having seen the world’s fair beauty)

We saw that Dove’s eyes are focused on the Spirit. If your eyes are focused on the flesh you would become a gossip, and this will cause a lot of damage to your soul. If your eyes are focused on soulish things of the mind, emotion and will you could be very smart, very capable, very clever. But when it comes to making difficult decisions you would be at a loss. You can write a report about others making difficult decisions, but you yourself would be like Truman looking for a one handed economist (he complained they always said “on this hand, and then on the other hand”). If you can discern the spirit you can immediately act. In July of 2021 DeBlasio mandated the experimental vaccine for Covid. I was a teacher and so I had to either take the vaccine or resign. I am not “anti Vaxx” as a teacher I had been required to get all the required vaccines. I am also not “anti science”, as a science teacher I had taught about vaccines before. But I am anti anti-liar and I immediately discerned he was lying. First there was no way to know that the vaccine was more effective than simply recovering from the disease which we (high school science teachers) had always taught was the most effective vaccine. Since I had already recovered from Covid19 I knew he was lying when he said I needed the vaccine. I didn’t know why, but I knew Satan is a liar and that there is no reason to lie about a life saving cure. The same day he made the announcement I determined to retire early rather than get the vaccine. This is a key characteristic of those whose eyes are on the spirit and are protected by the veil.

Let’s consider three other examples. In the story about Moneyball where the Oakland Athletics applied a new theory on how to select players the GM makes it clear to tune out everyone else in the media and all the naysayers. Simply, if we believe this is the best strategy, then ask yourself who is the best player for us to get according to this strategy. Consider Vince Lombardi, he came to a failing Green Bay Packers team that had won one game the previous year. They did have one superstar quarterback who could run and pass. Lombardi moved that guy to halfback and took Bart Starr off the bench and made him quarterback. The season turned around. Bill Belichick had a backup quarterback named Tom Brady and a superstar quarterback with a 100 million dollar contract named Bledsoe. Brady took over after Bledsoe got hurt and led the Patriots to the playoffs. But then Bledsoe was better and he had to make a choice. Do I play the backup quarterback being paid a minimum salary that absolutely no other team wanted, or do I play my superstar 100 million dollar quarterback? He chose Brady and they won the SuperBowl. When you make difficult decisions you will be attacked by second guessers, like being in a sandstorm. You can’t simply have Dove’s eyes, you have to protect them behind a veil. Notice a common theme in all these stories, you have to be able to see that person that no one else thought anything of.

Though thou art God most glorious high,
Thou in the flesh to us came nigh,
A lowly man become thereby;
Lord! I remember thee.

Glory divine was put away,
Under the tent of flesh to stay,
No outward beauty to display;
Lord, I remember thee!

Thou art a root from out dry ground,
Thou wast the man of sorrows found,
Hated, despised by man around;
Lord, I remember thee!

thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.

This is the other half of the verse and they are separated by a colon. This means the translator equates her hair to her eyes.
Most young men are clueless when they see a beautiful woman. You need to discern her character. The hair is a great reveal. How do I know if her eyes are dove’s eyes behind the veil? That is very hard to discern, what is easy to discern is her hair. Her hair is a glory to her and it is also her head covering. According to the Bible a woman should be under the authority of a man, first her father and later her husband. But this is not one of the ten commandments, it is not a law. Neither is it a law for a woman to have long hair. According to the New Testament if she doesn’t want to be under authority that is her choice, likewise she can shave her head, that is also her choice.

This chapter is revealing a very beautiful woman, one who has remained a standard of beauty for thousands of years. I never saw a woman enter a beauty contest with a shaved head. Granted this may happen in the future, so what we are looking at here is an old world view of beauty prized by the ancients. Imagine God coming to a beauty contest in which the women have shaved heads. He would probably say “Adam, where are you?” Why teach women to rebel against their covering if that freedom is an ugly freedom?
So then when you see women rebelling against their father’s authority realize it is the same thing as a woman who has shaved her head.

The woman’s hair is a gift from God, it beautifies them and protects them. Your father is also a gift from God who desires to beautify you and protect you. The same with your husband. Now sadly this woman’s father is a “goat”. Many women complaining about their husband or father would say “goat is too good a word for them”. They lament that God gave them “goat’s hair”. Life would be so much better if so and so were their father or prince charming were their husband. No one wants goats hair, the shampoo commercials all advertise “silky” hair. Have you ever seen a commercial for “Goat essence shampoo – gives your hair the look, feel and smell of real goat’s hair”? The point here is that it is a rare beauty for a woman to take her father or husband as her glory and protection. It is especially rare if her husband is a goat. But this is quite specific, not just any goats but goats on the side of mount Gilead. This refers to Laban and Jacob making a deal about Laban’s daughters and Jacob’s wives. Laban gave Jacob all authority over his daughters at Mount Gilead. These men were real goats, world class goats. For these women to take Laban and then Jacob as their covering, that is a rare beauty. That is what any man seeking a wife should be praying for.

The test of whether you are beautiful or ugly inside

2 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.

Every year sheep are shorn, that means their hair is cut off and then they are driven through a stream to wash them off. Without hair the sheep look funny. Imagine you took Miss America and shaved her hair off. Would she be happy? However, this experience of being “shorn”, publicly embarrassed, happens to everyone. This is the best test of whether or not you are beautiful or ugly on the inside. This test is very specific, immediately after being shorn the sheep come up from the washing. That is when you will see. The shearers will be laughing at the sheep because there is a little comic relief. Any girl can look beautiful if she has just come back from the beauty parlor with a new dress.

What you want to look for is how a woman responds when she is humiliated, reproached, despised, sneered at, with people mocking her and shaking their head at her. Look at her teeth. We see your teeth when you open your mouth. I want to hear what comes out of her mouth at this time. Is her mouth full of a double blessing (they have all born twins) without any curse (none is barren among them)? Or, are they snake teeth, full of poison, very sharp? When Ronald Reagan left the White House there were books written about Nancy Reagan that were very critical of her, it was a public shearing. Her response was a book titled “My Turn”. I didn’t read it, but it looked like snake teeth.

Many will confess His wisdom
Few embrace His shame
Many, should He smile upon them,
Will His praise proclaim;
Then, if for a while He leave them,
They desert His name,
Then if for a while He leave them,
They desert His name. (Hymn – Many Crowd the Savior’s Kingdom)

Sheep’s hair is a wonderful blessing to us, it keeps us warm and it beautifies us. To the sheep it may be humiliating, but isn’t it wonderful that they give it to us with blessing? When I share that women will get sheared, many are offended. One woman asked me “What about the man, what does his teeth look like?” The man is Jesus Christ, He gave His life for us. We only give our hair, it will grow back.

The criteria for a Beauty Contest

Song of Songs gives us the criteria for a beauty contest, not man's criteria, not the flesh's criteria but God's. In the Bible there is only one beauty contest recorded and that is in the book of Esther. The basic principle in the Bible is "here a little, there a little". The criteria for this beauty contest is in Song of Songs, the beauty contest itself is in Esther, and we also learn that the woman who wins the beauty contest in Song of Songs is the woman who is brought into King David's palace as a type of the raptured church, the Shulamite.

Therefore you can compare the Rapture to a beauty contest in which the Lord raptures the winner. Hence this book is very important to us if we want to be raptured.

3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet,

When the woman’s mouth is open it is full of blessing and when it is closed we see a scarlet thread, which signifies the Lord’s blood and forgiveness.

Once I was present in a meeting where two women were going to be reconciled. They were speaking Chinese and I had a translator. But even though I didn’t speak Chinese I could see one woman with her mouth closed and realized there was no forgiveness. This is common, many women don’t need to say anything and yet you know there is no forgiveness. How different they are from this woman. The Lord told us that as we have been forgiven by Him we should forgive others.

I have heard old men justify the use of white lies at home to avoid confrontation with their wife. This shows that with women in whom there is no forgiveness there is also no fear.

Psalm 130:3 If you, O Jehovah, marked iniquities, Who, O Lord, would stand? 4 With you there is forgiveness, that you would be feared.

Why is it that 100 close associates to the Clintons have committed suicide? It is the same thing that Mafia leaders fear, they know that witness protection makes it much easier for someone to confess sins. Those 100 people were “suicided” because someone feared they would talk.

This woman’s lips are scarlet. Surely she wasn’t born with scarlet lips, she must be wearing lipstick! 1Peter 3:3-4 tells us that if a woman adorns herself she must first adorn the inner man of the heart. The eyes are a window into the soul. The mouth is the door into the soul. When this woman’s mouth is open blessings come out from within her heart. When it is closed we see forgiveness, just like we saw on Passover with the blood put on the frame of the door, she has scarlet on the lips of her mouth. That blood indicated a covenant with Jesus Christ and that everyone within the house is protected, or in this case everyone within this woman’s heart. This is why we are told repeatedly to behold this woman. We can see the one she loves, we can see that she is adorned with the blood of Jesus, and we can see what is in her heart.

When we take the Lord’s table we are told to do it in remembrance of the Lord and His sacrifice. I have seen many people, both men and women, conveniently forget the price paid by others. In a covenant both sides have a price to pay, an obligation to meet. Remembering the price that Jesus paid reminds us of our obligation to pay the price to forgive others. If someone sins against you they are supposed to pay the price to reconcile. If they can’t pay the price then it is merciful if you pay it for them. This is what the Lord did for us. During a senate hearing John D Rockefeller Sr. was described by one of the Senators who said “the art of forgetting is possessed by Mr. Rockefeller in its highest degree”. This woman does not conveniently forget her debts, rather she has a public testimony that Jesus blood paid for her sins and she is indebted to Him.

 

[ZNP]

and thy speech is comely:

When she doesn't speak we see forgiveness and when she does she only speaks the beautiful things. She has forgotten all the ugly things. I have heard women say "This one thing I can never forget".

thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.

A piece of a pomegranate is good anytime. It is a tiny, sweet morsel. You might have just finished a big dinner and yet you can still have a small piece of a pomegranate. Or, you might have gotten home, very hungry, ready for dinner and that piece of a pomegranate will be a great appetizer. When some women talk to their husband it is like a great big dinner and some husbands are looking for some way to be excused from the lecture. Other women have a temper so hot the husbands are in fear to be around them. But regardless of whether it is a piece of a pomegranate, pasta, or peppers, it is behind the veil. For example, suppose the wife of the president spoke her mind in public, even affecting policy, Americans would condemn her. But if she does her speaking behind the veil so that it is only her husband who hears they will praise her. Some husbands praise their wives because their counsel is very helpful, to others there wives being outspoken in public is a constant aggravation and even insult.

10 Reasons why Purim is the only Feast that is a complete shadow of the Rapture

1. We see the apostasy with Vashti. Jesus said one would be taken and one would left and the word means divorced. Purim is the only Feast day that signifies both the one being taken (Esther) and the one being divorced (Vashti). The 9th of Av and the 15th of Av are the only other days on the Jewish calendar that would come close.

2. We see a beauty contest in Esther, it is the only place in the Bible and you can also say that the rapture is a "beauty contest" if you consider the criteria in Song of Songs as the criteria for this contest.

3. There is also a depiction of Mordecai and Esther "restraining evil". We know that the rapture is when the restrainer is removed. There is no other feast day besides Purim that depicts this.

4. We also see the rapture as a "Harpazo" as both Esther and Mordecai are snatched from certain death. Esther when she goes into the king without being summoned and Mordecai when Haman wants to execute him. It is true that during Passover the believers are delivered from the death angel, but we don't see it as a Harpazo as clearly as we see it in Esther. In the Passover feast they are making a covenant with the Lord. In Esther we are told that "you have come to this position at a time such as this". In Esther they are required to act according to that covenant despite the risk to their own lives.

5. Purim is the only feast where we celebrate believers being honored and glorified. Both Mordecai and Esther come into their full authority in the book of Esther, the closest Biblical example of this is Joseph becoming Prime minister. Joseph's story depicts the ruling and reigning of Jesus during the seven year tribulation. In the same way we see the ruling and reigning of Mordecai and Esther during the tribulation.

6. Purim is the only feast where the Antichrist, Haman, is revealed. Everyone knows after the rapture the Antichrist will be made known. In Esther after Mordecai is honored we see Haman revealed as the son of perdition.

7. Jesus and the church are likened to Adam and Eve. When Eve is brought to Adam he says "bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh". She expresses Jesus. Passover reveals Jesus and that is when the rib is taken from His side. This is the start of the church age when God begins to build the church as a bride for Jesus. Purim takes place at the end of the year, at this time we see it is the church laying everything on the line to deliver God's people. We can see that the church typified by Mordecai and Esther are now bone of Jesus' bones, and flesh of Jesus' flesh. She was taken out of Him and now she expresses Him. We do not see this in any other feast.

8. We are told that the rapture will be as the days of Noah and as the days of Lot. This is only seen in the feast of Purim. This feast celebrates being delivered from a plot to genocide the Jews. The total extermination mirrors Noah's flood. This feast reminds us of Mordecai being snatched out of the way of certain destruction just as Lot was pulled out of Sodom just in time.

9. Esther reminds us that the raptured saints are hidden in Christ. The word "hidden" is a big theme in Esther, but not in any other feast. The rapture is the unveiling of the masterpiece of God which has been hidden for the entire church age. We are told clearly the last will be first and the first last and by that the Lord means those that you had no respect for will be the ones taken while those that you thought were great men of God will be left. In Isaiah 26 we are told that the raptured saints are hidden until the indignation passes away. No other feast presents such a clear picture of the raptured saints being hidden in Christ.

10. We can refer to the rapture as our "hope of glory". Paul said "Christ in you, the hope of glory". As Christians we have a hope and that is that at some future date we will be glorified and dwell with Jesus in heaven for eternity and kings and priests. Only in the feast of Purim do we see this hope played out.

HIGH WATCH TIME: Dreams by THREE Watch Women point to Palm Sunday to Be WATCHING!​

 

[ZNP]

Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.

Song of Songs 4:4 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.

A mother of children is just like an armoury. There is football equipment, hockey equipment, basketball, etc. Mothers are often the ones who think about what is needed and make sure their kids have what they need. Think about the church, in all churches the children’s ministry is a crucial if not the main ministry. There is a famous quote “Amateurs talk about tactics, but professionals study logistics”. We are in a spiritual battle and the sisters in the church are the professionals when it comes to logistics.

5 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.

The two breasts signify faith and love. This is the mother’s milk that the new believers are fed. Twins are a double blessing, young roes signify the resurrection life and since they are young they signify the newness of life, lilies signify the glory of life and they also imply the river of water of life. In a situation full of life like this you would also be full of hope. “This is my resting place forever, here will I dwell, for I have desired it” Psalm 132:14.
The Lord asked “what did you go out into the wilderness to see?” This is what we want to see, it is a beautiful picture of two young roes, feeding among the lilies by the water. This picture also tells us a hidden story. Her breasts are like young roes because she has not yet had children and has not yet given suck. But the goal is not to be this fair woman on a pedestal, but rather to be a mother who can raise children and lead them and teach them.

6 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

Think of that, a habit of getting up early before the day breaks to pray, to be sanctified in the word of God, and to die to self. This is why the Lord tells us to behold this woman and why He tells us she is very fair. He is looking at her character, what is in her heart, how she cares for others, how she loves the Lord, and how there is no root of bitterness in her.

7 Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.

Whenever you come together, each one has

8 Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

This is far more interesting than Disney world and far more exciting. Seeing a lion's den? Once I had a mountain lion come into my campsite and let me know I had intruded on his territory, might even have come too close to his/her den. Another time I saw a black panther in New Mexico, which is a beautiful animal. The cedars of lebanon are magnificent trees, they are related to the redwoods here in the US. These phony women with their makeup, high heels and bags that cost tens of thousands of dollars, they are not going to climb to the top of these various mountains with you. Mount Hermon is the mount of transfiguration.

9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. 10 How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices! 11 Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

The world today is plastic, it is imitation this and imitation that, they eat bioengineered food, and drink coffee that costs $10 a cup. The things of the world make people sick, they make families sick. The church is an old world flower, It is a life than can restore you to health and vigor. I remember my first field trip as a geologist. We were to go and find fossils. I was terrified because I had tried to find fossils before and had failed. We get on the banks of this river, standing on pebbles and the professor told us to look for fossils. I was afraid I was about to be exposed, then he would say if you can’t find fossils then you can’t be a geologist and then that would be that. But I bend down and pick up one of the pebbles. It was a fossil! Every pebble was a fossil! The lesson was simple, geologists are not better at finding fossils, rather they are simply better at knowing where to look. This is what the church is, the right place to look for a woman described in this chapter.

12 A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.

My mom had an older sister who died when she was eight because she drank from a well that gave her typhoid. A spring shut up, a fountain sealed is water that you can trust, water you can drink from that won’t make you sick. If trials and tribulations cause your marriage to fail, the problem is not the trials and tribulations. They just exposed the fact that the relationship was diseased. Look at this woman, she could survive in a cabin in the woods growing a garden and catching fish in the river. Money problems are not going to cause her to throw in the towel on the marriage. If you are single and looking for a spouse you should be praying over this chapter. But then that is why I am covering it in a blog about the rapture. Jesus is single, He is looking for a bride, this is who He is going to get.

13 Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard, 14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices: 15 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon. 16 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

This should be the church life and it would be if they did as 1 Corinthians 14 says, whenever you come together “each one has”. Studying the word is great, but there should also be sharing of testimonies. Not testimonies that are ten years old, but rather testimonies of what happened that week. It could be a sweet insight into the word of God, it could be a testimony of mercy and forgiveness, it could be a healing, it could a testimony of answered prayer. Jesus said that out of our bellies would flow rivers of living water. That is a promise, but how many have actually experienced that for themselves?

There have been multiple dreams and visions and warnings concerning this and apparently it is very close.

Preceding the 3 days of darkness there will be about 24 hours, maybe a little more of "dancing lights" or what we normally consider the aurora borealis but worldwide. That is your warning. When you see that you want to get home, you want to have something to cover your windows with. You could use Black garbage bags and duct tape. Because the three days of darkness begins immediately after these dancing lights and for three days the situation outside of your house will be a real life horror movie. People who see it will die from heart attacks.

However, if you are a Christian, when you take the Lord's table it renews your covenant with the Lord and that covenant provides protection over your house. The fallen angels and demons will not enter your house unless you open the door. (They are familiar spirits so they can sound like someone you know outside trying to get in).

They will know all of your sins that are not repented of and washed by the blood. So if your conscience reminds you of any unrepented sins, then this is the time to confess and repent. Any bitterness in your heart, any unforgiveness, these things need to be dealt with.

Basically that is a summary of what others have seen. You should be ready, running to the store when you see the dancing lights is possibly going to be too late.

 

[ZNP]

Exodus 10:21 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. 22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: 23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. 24 And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you. 25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the Lord our God. 26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God; and we know not with what we must serve the Lord, until we come thither. 27 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go. 28 And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die. 29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.

Notice how Moses says that Pharoah will not see his face again. This indicates the rapture. Our Christian life begins with the Passover. As Moses tells the Israelites, Nisan is now the first month to them. The three days of darkness concludes the church age as the light is removed from the earth.

Matthew 4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

Again, after the rapture it will be a time of great revival, many who mocked and scoffed at the word of God will repent. There is a principle that pattern is prophecy. The last seven years of the age known as the tribulation will begin just as Jesus' ministry did. They were sitting darkness when they saw a great light at the time Jesus came to in His earthly ministry and this will also be the case for the ministry of the two witnesses.

Matthew 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

All those left behind after the rapture will be the ones Jesus is referring to here.

Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

If you have unforgiveness or bitterness in your heart then you too will be cast into outer darkness.

Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Do not be deceived, an "unprofitable" servant is not an unbeliever. It is a servant of the Lord Jesus who is not profitable.
