1 Corinthians 13:12 (NKJV) "For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known."
The Bible Prophesy community is really going bananas. The events around the world has everyone up in arms.
RELAX!
How can you say "relax" when the coming of the Lord is imminent?
Relaxing when things are about to get serious is very difficult to do. Unless you're ready and you're watching and praying.
There's no question that AI is now on the stage. A one world government is etching closer to reality. A one world religion is emerging.
The very things that the Whore of Babylon is waiting for. Revelation chapters 17 and 18.
Just recently, I was told that my video on the Whore of Babylon on another channel was given a strike by YouTube and removed. Evidently, I had a picture of the Whore Of Babylon and it may have been behind the strike. I was told that because I've shared about the 2019 disease that hit the world may also have contributed to the strike.
The Feminine Movement has made considerable strides. More women are in places of power in the world and in the church.
The feminization of men is underway but it's getting resistance. Masculinity has been on the decline for centuries.
But this is another subject.
The world is getting closer to the arrival of the Messiah but there's some things that have yet to be in place.
The war in Gaza isn't helping the proponents of the 2 state delusion.
Genesis 12 is the Word of the Lord. The Lord gave the land to Israel.
The 2 state delusion is a DOA issue.
Hamas stepped over the red line (October 7th, 2023) and their days are numbered.
The whole purpose of Hamas was to be the one organization to compel Israel to give up land for peace, but it’s failed. The total subduing of Hamas (Hebrew for violence) is underway and in a few months, their funeral will take place.
Without a compelling reason to force Israel to give up land for peace, any delusion will not take place. Coupled with the fact that Israel is about to build 3000 more settlements in Samaria and East Jerusalem.
Eventually, Jordan will relinquish custodial oversight over the Temple Mount. Eventually, the Temple will be built on the Temple Mount.
We don’t know how the building of the Temple will come about with the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque, but under the Temple Mount is a small scale version of the Temple.
The Temple Institute has been pushing for the Temple with the training of the Levitical priesthood in Temple sacrifices and offerings. Most of the Temple furniture is ready. There’s a pure gold candle-stick that’s ready to be placed in the Holy Place of the Temple.
The ark of the covenant is somewhere. But no one knows where.
There’s a red heifer. There’s other artifacts that’s ready to go. Recently, women have been dyeing the colors according to Exodus to make the veil that separated the Most Holy Place from the Holy Place.
Why are we making these statements?
While the world economy is in a big mess and may be on the verge of collapse, and while people are falling away from Christ as Paul shared in 1 Timothy 4:1 and 2 Thessalonians 2:1-11, the pieces of the prophetic puzzle are slowly coming together.
There’s a lot that needs to take place and this gives us time to study the events in light of the Scriptures.
No one has all of the answers as to this complex puzzle.
That’s why we “know in part.”
The chronological order of end time events is way too complex to put in order by one man, let alone by a group of well advanced Bible prophesy scholars.
Now the Lord put all that we need to know in the Bible.
How it will all come together, only the Lord knows, but we have enough information to know that we’re down to the 5 mile warning exit sign. It’s almost time to get off of the freeway and hit the exit.
Many Bible prophesy scholars have shied away from using or saying the "rapture" word.
It’s almost anathema to say the word because many anti rapture people have taken the word and pretty much discounted the event altogether. It’s no longer a question about this event except for “when.”
The only question that many have is “when?”
The reason why is because many doubt that the Lord would remove the church before the events of the final week of Daniel’s 70th week prophesy would take place.
In the OT, the salvation from the flood gives us hope that before it rained for 40 days, the Ark was built and 8 people were saved.
In Sodom and Gomorrah, before the Lord rained fire and brimstone on the cities, Lot, his wife (before she became a pillar of salt) and Lot’s daughters were rescued.
Peter gave these powerful words….
2 Peter 2:5-9 (NKJV) “…and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly;
and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;
and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)—
then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment…”
The righteous are tormented with the agenda of homosexuality, transgenderism, and perversion of children in giving them puberty blockers, and mutilating children. Vexed with drag queens reading books to innocent children. The deliberate worship of Molech, killing babies in the womb. The perversion of justice where the wicked are released and that the righteous are punished.
It’s no surprise that the wrath of God will be poured out in full strength upon the wickedness of men.
God saved Noah and 7 others, the Lord saved Lot and 3 others.
Will the Lord pour His wrath on the church and the wicked?
If we believe that we will be destroyed with the wicked, that’s unjust of God.
1 Thessalonians 5:9-10 (NKJV) “For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.”
The one dilemma with Bible prophesy is WHEN.
The new debate has now shifted to “When will the Lord begin to pour out His wrath?”
Well, when did the Lord pour out water in wrath to kill every living thing on the earth?
When did the Lord pour down fire and brimstone on those wicked cities?
The undeniable signal is when the righteous departed, then the wrath of God was released on the wicked.
Acts 17:30-31 (NKJV) “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,
because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”
God appointed a day for the flood and for fire and brimstone to be poured out from heaven.
Noah preached for 100 years while building the most visible sign or redemption.
Lot, his righteous soul being vexed, stayed there until the angels took them by force out of the city.
The word rapture is a taking by force.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NKJV) “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.
And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”
Notice the word “up” from Strong’s Concordance…..”g0726. ἁρπάζω harpazō; from a derivative of 138; to seize (in various applications): — catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).”
Before any of these events, there’s no question that some will experience the pain of the persecution from the wicked on a scale that might exceed what the apostles of the Lamb experienced.
Yes, and all those that “live godly,” as Paul said, “will suffer persecution.”
But the Lord also said that He would come as a “thief in the night.”
No one knows when a thief will come, but regarding the Second Coming of Christ, we know that when Jerusalem is surrounded, that’s when He will arrive on the Mt. of Olives.
So the rapture and the Second Coming of Christ is two distinct events.
We’re not going to persuade people that believe otherwise. We can’t convince everyone. And that’s what helps many of God’s people to do three specific things.
We all miss it, because we know in part.
We don’t know where all the pieces of the puzzle will fit.
But only the Lord knows.
When He will come as a “thief in the night,” no one knows the day or the hour so what are we to do?
Watch and pray, and be ready.
