The Marriage, the Cup, and the Sign

 

Recently I watched Before the Wrath, a documentary beautifully portraying WHY the Bride of Christ must be snatched off the earth BEFORE wrath is poured out:

 

While scholars debate the timing of the Rapture, the world has lost why this event is prophesied to occur in the first place; knowledge that was once understood by those in the first century. Today, researchers in the Middle-East have rediscovered ancient anthropological evidence from the time of Christ that reveals exactly how and why the Rapture must occur; unveiling new biblical insight that will reignite hope for believers and prepare the world for what's coming.—Brent Miller Jr

So I thought it would be a blessing to my readers to have our thoughts go towards that magnificent Day and share some reasons why it is certainly so near.

 

First, let’s think about why the Rapture and the Wedding of the Holy Bridegroom and Bride must occur before the 7 years of Jacob’s Trouble. Second, we can ruminate on when we think it might happen if this Hebrew Year of 5785 is the Year of His Appearing.

 

According to the tradition of the ancient Hebrew wedding, the guests gathered to be witnesses when the Friend of the Bridegroom announced the consummation of the marriage:

 

12. Finally, there would be a marriage supper for all the guests invited by the father of the bride.

 

The bride and the groom would be in the wedding chamber for seven days. When the bride and the groom initially went into the wedding chamber, the friend of the bridegroom stood outside the door. All the assembled guests of the wedding gathered outside, waiting for the friend of the bride-groom to announce the consummation of the marriage, which was relayed to him by the groom. John (Yochanan) the Immerser (Baptist) referred to this in John 3:29. At this signal, great rejoicing broke forth (John 3:29). The marriage was consummated on the first night (Genesis [Bereishit] 29:23). The bloodstained linen from this night was preserved. It was proof of the bride's virginity (Deuteronomy [Devarim] 22:13-21). 

On the wedding day, the bridegroom is seen as a king and the bride as a queen. During the consummation of the marriage, the bridegroom (Yeshua) will be crowned King over all the earth and the bride (the believers in Yeshua, the Messiah) will live with Him and rule with Him forever. The crowning of the King and the marriage can be seen in Isaiah 62:3-7. At the end of the week (seven-year tribulation, or birthpangs of the Messiah), the marriage supper will take place. [12 Stages of Wedding of the Messiah excerpt]

 

Some scholars say the marriage supper of the Lamb is in Heaven after the Rapture of the True Church while others teach it is on Earth after the Second Coming. I found this intriguing and share these two perspectives below.

 

What is wonderful is that although these scholars differ as to where the marriage supper of the Lamb takes place, they both agree that the marriage itself takes place in Heaven after the Rapture.

 

So feel free to skip the next section if you want to think only about when our Wedding Day might happen.

 

Marriage Supper in Heaven or on Earth?

 

Renald E. Showers in The Marriage And Marriage Supper Of The Lamb writes that the marriage supper is immediately following the Rapture:

 

Once the marriage had been consummated by the bride and groom, the wedding guests would feast and make merry for seven days.⁵ Thus, the marriage supper lasted for one week (Gen. 29:21–23, 27–28; Jud. 14:1–2, 10–12, 17), and it corresponds to the expression “marriage supper of the Lamb” in Revelation 19:9. 

. . . The marriage supper began on the same night that the groom took his bride to his father’s house and consummated their marriage through physical union. After the marriage was consummated, the groom announced the consummation to his friend standing outside the bridal chamber (Ps. 19:5; Jn. 3:29), and the announcement was then delivered to the wedding guests who had already assembled at the groom’s father’s house. Upon receiving this news, the guests began to feast and make merry.¹⁰ Thus, the marriage supper began very shortly after the groom brought his bride to his father’s house. In harmony with this custom, the marriage supper of the Lamb must begin very shortly after Christ takes His bride, the Church, to His Father’s house in Heaven at the time of the Rapture.

 

However, Thomas Ice at raptureready.com gives a different perspective:

 

The Marriage Supper

It is at this point that many Christians today often confuse the marriage of the Lamb with the marriage supper of the Lamb. But they are two separate events that occur at two different times in history. Revelation 19:9 says, “Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” This passage clearly has a forward look anticipating a future time. It cannot refer to anyone in heaven since the church (the bride) is the only redeemed entity in heaven. However, after the second coming when believers from other ages will be resurrected (Dan. 12:2) along with tribulation saints, both mortal and resurrected ones (Rev. 20:4), these will be the invited guest who will be guests at this celebration supper. I believe that the marriage supper will be during the first part of the millennial reign of Christ. Fruchtenbaum says: 

Hence, the “many” who are bidden to attend the marriage feast on earth are all the Old Testament saints and the Tribulation saints resurrected after the Second Coming. While the marriage ceremony will take place in Heaven just before the Second Coming, the marriage feast will take place on earth after the Second Coming. In fact, it would seem that the marriage feast is what begins the Millennium or the Messianic Kingdom; the Church’ s co-reigning with the Messiah will start with a tremendous marriage feast.[2] 

2 Marriage Suppers

 

Did you realize there will be “two” marriage suppers?

 

. . . The Old Testament teaches that during the Millennium there will be another marriage supper, different from the marriage supper of the Lamb. This millennial marriage supper will be associated with the second marriage of God and the nation of Israel. At the beginning of Isaiah 25:6ff, a passage describing the blessings of the future Millennium, Isaiah declared, “And in this mountain shall the Lᴏʀᴅ of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees.” The word for “feast” in verse 6 is the same as that used for the wedding feast in Judges 14:10, 12, 17. Isaiah’s statement indicates that the wedding guests at this millennial marriage supper for God and Israel will be all the other people living in the world at that time. “Isaiah was speaking of a future time when (after God’s worldwide judgment) His people in Israel and other nations will feast together in peace and prosperity. This is the 1,000 year reign of Christ.”¹¹ 

. . . As noted earlier, it was customary for the wedding supper of Bible times to last for one week, or seven days.¹⁴ It is the conviction of this writer that, in relationship to the marriage supper of the Lamb, the seven years of the 70th week of Daniel 9 will correlate to that time period. According to this view, then, the Rapture of the Church and marriage of the Lamb will occur before the 70th week (Tribulation period). . . [The Marriage And Marriage Supper Of The Lamb excerpt]

 

Revelation 19 is clearly referring to the first marriage supper—the marriage supper of the Lamb.

WHY is the Lamb’s Marriage Supper mentioned in Revelation 19?

 

Again, there are contrasting viewpoints in answer to this question.

 

If the marriage and marriage supper of the Lamb are not to take place at the Second Coming and during the Millennium, why are they mentioned in Revelation 19 between the judgment of the great whore and the Second Coming of Christ? Two possible reasons are as follows: First, to draw a contrast between the great whore, with all her impure unions, and the bride of Christ, with her pure union with Christ; and second, to draw a contrast between the blessing of those called to the marriage supper of the Lamb and the judgment of rebels at the Second Coming of Christ. [The Marriage And Marriage Supper Of The Lamb excerpt]

 

In contrast to this perspective, as already presented above, Revelation 19:9 is stating that the wedding ceremony has already taken place and the grand finale--the wedding feast--takes place as the 12^th and final stage of the ancient Jewish wedding ceremony. The Wedding of the Lamb occurs in Heaven after the Resurrection/Rapture of those in Christ, but the Marriage Supper occurs on earth after the Second Coming when the guests—those who have eternity with Christ but are not part of the Bride—are resurrected.

A Summer or Fall Wedding?

 

Though I am looking forward to Our Wedding Supper, I am more excited about The Day of the Wedding and how close we are to that Day!

 

In a recent report from Israel, a growing chorus of religious voices now advocates moving beyond the Western Wall entirely, urging Jews to pray directly on the Temple Mount itself. Scholar Don Stewart shared how this is an indication of how close the Rapture is. This movement toward praying on the Temple Mount itself was prophesied by Patrick Winfrey to be the final sign before the Rapture (my related article—2018 Final Signs).

 

Will the Rapture be as early as this Summer? Luis B. Vega believes the Bride of Christ will have a Summer Wedding as Israel returns to the rituals of the Old Covenant as explained in his article A13-Cana-Wine where he offers prophetic correlations between the Wedding of Cana and the Rapture of Christ’s Bride:

 

All that to say, that the Rapture has to be Pre-Tribulation Period because it will be at that Point in Time that the New Wine Age will have been concluded. And thereafter, the Age of the Jewish ‘Water’ will return for that Last Sabbath Week of Daniel. It will be all about the Ceremonial Cleansing and ‘Dead Religion’ again. This is why the Orthodox Jews are frantically preparing for the Ashes of the Red Heifer, the rebuilding of the Temple and the start of the Daily Sacrifices. But that ‘Water’ Covenant could only provide temporary Daily Cleansing. As noted, it was and is a Cleansing Agent that can only affect the ‘Outside’ and not the Inner Vessel where the Transformation needs to be made.

The 4^th Cup and a Summer Wedding?

 

At the supper before His crucifixion Jesus promised that he would not drink wine or the “fruit of the vine” again until a specific time:

 

But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. - Matthew 26:29 KJV

 

Biblical scholars refer to this as “the 4^th cup” because of Jesus prophesying this during the Passover seder:

 

Jesus urges His disciples to drink of the third cup. Then He does another interesting thing with respect to the glasses of wine. He does not drink the fourth cup, the Cup of Restoration. He says of that wine: “I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” He and the disciples still sing the hymn that was customarily offered over the fourth cup, but Jesus does not drink the wine. He declares He will drink it with them in His Father’s kingdom — when the Cup of Restoration is fulfilled. khouse.org

 

So when does the Bride and Groom partake of the “4^th cup”?

 

As I studied this, I realized that Jesus might not have been referring to the Cup of the Covenant which is drank by the Groom and Bride at the 6^th Stage of Marriage.

Perhaps we will drink from the 4^th Cup during a time of intimacy that fulfills the consummation of our marriage to the Heavenly Bridegroom. As noted by Edward Chumney in the 12^th Stage of Marriage, “The bride and the groom would be in the wedding chamber for seven days.” They do not join all the guests for those 7 days—they enjoy only each other’s company for 7 days!

 

During the seven days of the wedding festivities, which were sometimes called "the seven days of the huppah," the bride remained hidden in the bridal chamber.17 At the conclusion of these seven days the groom would bring his bride out of the bridal chamber, now with her veil removed, so that all could see who his bride was. biblestudymanuals.net

 

Some sources tell us that the newlyweds were waited upon by the wedding party as the couple remained within the bridal chamber those seven days. After this is when, according to one viewpoint, Revelation 19 and the Second Coming of Christ to earth would then come into play where Jesus presents His wife:

 

And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

For true and righteous [are] his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. - Revelation 19:1-2 KJV

 

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed [are] they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. - Revelation 19:6-9 KJV

 

Will our wedding be during the New Wine Festival 2025?

 

More exciting to consider is that our Beloved Bridegroom mentioned “new wine”— when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom, which could be intimating that Jesus will drink of the cup of the vine with His Bride at a New Wine Festival. Luis B. Vega has researched this theory writing a series of books which he offers links to in his above-mentioned article A13-Cana-Wine. 

The Rapture as a Harvest Type

Lu Vega has presented his belief the Wedding of the Church will happen when Boaz and Ruth’s wedding occurred—when the wheat harvest would be concluding and the grape harvest is beginning:

 

One surmises that the Pentecost of Acts occurred in the Feast of New Wine. . . This New Understanding is predicated on their being a ‘Double Count’ and Interpretation of Leviticus 23:15-16. 

One is of the Opinion that if and when the Rapture of the Bride of Christ is to occur, it will be during a Harvest Feast. And this Feast will be emblematic of how Jesus qualified it as so. The only Feast of YHVH that falls within [this] parameter is when the Church Age 1st started, Pentecost.

Jesus throughout His Ministry used the Metaphors and of a Wheat Harvest Time to convey the End of the Age. Source: Summer White Wheat Wedding Pentecost New Wine Rapture and End of the Church Age pp. 2 and 21

 

The prophecies through Phillip Barnett point to the possibility of the Rapture occurring during the Summer as well:

 

Phillip Barnett Azovmena Prophecy—June, July, August

 

In previous articles I have written about the prophecies through a man of God who was sent to minister in Ukraine but is now back in the United States, Phillip Barnett. Because of the many dreams and visions of Brethren related to the Rapture occurring “when the missiles come down”, I thought that November 11 (the date nuclear war between Russia and America begins per these prophecies) would be the day of the Rapture.

 

Then I learned from a December 29, 2024, article—The Azovmena Prophecies: Safe zones by Pastor Phillip Barnett—this was not what our Brother was shown. The Rapture is to take place some months before the November 11 nuclear attack:

 

War in the Middle East before the Rapture  

Now, I do believe there’s a nuclear war coming to the Middle East before the Rapture: the Psalm 83 war.

Twice God says: ‘When the day of the Lord is near’.

We can look at Isaiah the 17th chapter, when Damascus is destroyed by a nuclear weapon. This has not happened, and it’s going to happen soon.

In the photo taken on August 3, 2024, a farmer harvests grapes in an orchard in the city of Al-Kiswah, south of the Syrian capital, Damascus. The grape harvest season began in Syria at the beginning of August.

  

[When is the grape harvesting season in Damascus, Syria?

It says from the beginning of August. If this is true, then the destruction of Damascus in Isaiah 17 takes place in or around August, for the Lord tells us the time period:

Verse 11: You plant your grapevines one day and try to make them grow, and the next day [in the morning] you make them blossom. But at harvest time everything will be dead [ the harvest will be a heap/disaster]; a sickness will kill all the plants [ in the day of disease and incurable pain].] 

Also, the prophecy from Jeremiah the 49th chapter, beginning with the 34th verse could take place any day now. It could take place these next few months; Elam is western Iran. . .

 

God gave Azovmena 2 

And He spoke to me Azovmena 2, and He gave me many, many details about what the Antichrist will do at the midpoint in the tribulation period! 

The nuclear war between Russia and the US will take place….

there are no maybes about it – on November 11th. I don’t know what year. My guess is 2026. That is my guess. . . 

Everything is coming to a conclusion. 

Jesus is coming back. I believe it’s a strong chance that we’re going to see a major war between Iran and Israel very soon, next few months, this next year….[2025]? Israel has no choice, and the Bible says, when that war comes, there won’t be a country left in the world where the Elamites do not flee to escape radiation! And that could happen next week, next month; it’s going to happen. . . 

Whatever year the Rapture takes place, then a couple of months later on November 11th, World War III takes place. I believe we’re looking at 2026, but we don’t know for sure. It’s all going to be fulfilled. The main thing is that Jesus is coming soon, and we need to get ready. Time is short.

Or will the Rapture be at the end of the Summer around September 22?

 

Here are events that are prophesied in Scripture to occur by the end of some Summer that may indicate that God will wait until the very last minute:

--The godly are to disappear from the earth (Micah 7:1-2)

--The Books of Joel and Jeremiah and Amos foretell of trouble coming to Israel at the end of the Summer. (Biblically, summer ends at the autumnal equinox which occurs in Jerusalem, Israel, September 22, 2025, at 9:19 pm IDT.) A related article I wrote is Did God Signal a SEPTEMBER 23 Rapture? Should the Lord tarry past the July New Wine Festival, we might want to take another look at this timing since this Great Sign occurred over Jerusalem the day after The Feast of Trumpets (According to the Hebrew Calendar, Rosh Hashana for the Hebrew Year 5778 began on Wednesday, 20 September 2017 and ended on Friday, 22 September 2017) thus making September 23, 2025, the 8^th Anniversary of the Revelation 12 Sign of the Woman.

 

While preparing this article I came across an obscure Youtube channel—Revelation 12 Timeline Theory—which shared his discovery of a prophecy made by the controversial Kim Clement in 2009 about the Revelation 12 Sign of the Woman which did not appear until the year 2017. (Also, the discovery of the coming sign was only made public in 2009 by Luis B. Vega when he posted it on his Staff Profile on the Sonoma State University website and in articles at Five Doves. Then Scott Clark caused the Revelation 12 Sign to “go viral” beginning in 2011.) Here are excerpts from the Kim Clement prophecy:

 

April 4th, 2009 - Seattle, WA 

… For the Spirit of the Lord says there shall be a sign that I will send to you, says the Spirit, there will be a sign in the heavens.  It will look and it shall be likened unto a woman that is about to give birth, that she is in labor.  For God said, there shall be a sign, for even in the Book of Revelation, even as I said there was a sign in the heavens, so in this nation I shall bring a sign in the heavens. . .

For God said, there is a birth taking place.   And America is suffering the labor pains, America is suffering the last hours before the birth of this child.  Did you not know that during your labor, did you not know during your pain that there will be something birthed, says the Spirit of the Living God.  It's about to be born.  It's about to be born for this nation, a move of My Spirit that shall shake the church, that shall shake the gates of the cities.  Listen to the Word of the Lord.  It's about to be born, your travail must come to an end, says the Lord! 

...Look at the sign that is coming in the sky. For God said would you call for God to show you? For is it not told, says the Spirit of God, that this woman that brought and gave birth to this child is likened unto a generation, the bride of Christ that gives birth to this great move, this end time move, men have cried out for it. In the early 17th century they saw your day. In the early 1800's they saw your day and prayed for it. Abraham saw your day and prayed for this day. Daniel saw this day and he prayed for it. For the Spirit of God said, David saw this day and sang for it...

 ...This is a word for the United States of America. I've been caught up into a spirit world. I cannot move from there now. For God says, there is a sign, there is a sign that is coming from the heavens and you will see it. It is as a woman that holds a child, the child that has been born... [houseofdestiny.org excerpts]

 

Not only did the Spirit of the Lord show Kim the coming Revelation 12 Sign, but he also showed him the coming Great Shaking to Awaken that would result in the last Great Harvest before the Rapture! (Related: THE GREATEST GENERATION, THE GREAT SHAKING, AND THE LAST TRUMP and “I AM COMING FIRST IN YOU, MY CHILDREN, THEN I WILL COME FOR YOU!”)

Dear Brethren, may this encourage you as it did me and fill your heart with the hope that any time now our loving Messiah will return as He promised to take us to the place He has prepared for us.

 

If 5785 is finally the Hebrew Year of the Rapture, our Heavenly Homecoming will take place between now and September 22-23, 2025, the end of the Summer. Let us think on these things!

RAPTURE AFTER A TUMULTUOUS SUMMER?

Why Is The U.S. Being Hit By One “Apocalyptic Disaster” After Another Right Now?

 

Have you noticed that America has been getting pummeled by a series of major natural disasters in recent days? Dozens of immensely powerful tornadoes have carved trails of destruction across the middle of the country, Chicago was just hit by an “apocalyptic” wall of dust, and a plague of millions upon millions of crickets is causing chaos in Utah. . . 

We are being hit by one apocalyptic disaster after another, and I believe that what we have been through so far is just the beginning.

 

Michael Snyder refrains from answering his own question, but it is a simple answer. The reason our nation is being hit by one “apocalyptic disaster” after another is because our Presidential administration continues to pursue ungodly agreements which are detrimental to Israel. 

 

Will there be a MAYDAY FOR AMERICA this month as has been forewarned—see MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Gideon’s Chariots & the May 15 Deadline? The dominos are all lined up and they might begin to fall this Memorial Day Weekend or very soon afterward as suspected by Brandon Dawson in PAY ATTENTION TO THIS PROPHETIC SIGN!

 

It is compelling the messaging is that we should expect something geopolitically catastrophic in 90 days.

 

First of all, we don’t actually have a “trade deal” with China. What we have is a 90 day “cooling off period” during which we could potentially negotiate a “trade deal” with China. 

There is an enormous difference between those two things. . . Source: The Truth About The “Trade Deal” With China posted May 12, 2025

 

Some sources say China, to save face, will surround Taiwan to deal with their collapsing economy and confront the U.S. Prophetic voices are warning it will be more than China planning to bring the United States to heel.

 

Also at un.org another 90-day warning was sounded:

 

Addressing a high-level debate of the Security Council, António Guterres said that oceans and seas are “sending a clear SOS,” as maritime spaces face escalating pressure from both traditional threats and new dangers – including piracy, armed robbery, trafficking, terrorism, cyberattacks and territorial disputes. 

Melina Travlos, President of the Union of Greek Shipowners, delivered a stark warning to Council members: if the global shipping system grinds to a halt, the world economy will collapse in just 90 days. 

She described shipping as “the silent guardian of global welfare,” noting that 90 per cent of international trade and more than 12 billion tonnes of goods depend on maritime transport each year.

 

When is 90 days up? Sometime in July. (Related: Damascus Event then Rapture by July 2025?) We have been told to “Prepare against the Summer!”

 

Iran, Iran, Iran 

Iran, Iran, Iran

 

I join those like Don Stewart in the belief that Iran has been using their meetings with the United States as a stall tactic having no intention to acquiesce to any demands related to their nuclear program or toward peace. From the Description Box of Don’s Breaking News May 24 Part 2:

 

. . . Without a regime change, the idea that Iran will give up their goals, namely, the destruction of both Israel and the United States, is not a possibility. The leadership is guided by the belief that they are divinely inspired to destroy both Israel and the United States so that Islam can rule the world.

It’s all part of the Illuminati plan for World War 3.

 

Supernatural By Design short video 

But it will also fulfill prophecy in Jeremiah 49 as Jarrett of Supernatural By Design has presented in several videos. Today a short video on his channel caught my eye where he shares how the Spirit of the Lord impressed on him that we should watch the Bushehr nuclear plant in Iran.

The official title of the upcoming event at the United Nations in June is 'High-level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution'.

Two-State Solution = ‘Peace and Safety” Announcement 

 

It was good to hear from our Brother Paul Dawson at REVELATION CHAPTER12 dotCOM YTC in his new video IT'S ALMOST TIME! Dividing Israel. Peace and Safety. Sudden Destruction. In this 17-minute video Paul reads from several sources (which he lists in the Description Box) regarding the upcoming June 17-20, 2025, United Nations Conference in New York stating what I and others have been saying—that we believe this is when “they shall say, peace and safety” (1 Thessalonians 5:3) resulting ultimately in the Departure of Those in Christ.

 

What has been planned for decades looks like it will finally be announced—the Two-State Solution.

 

According to webtv.un.org, at their May 23, 2025, 2nd Preparatory Meeting, the UN General Assembly summarized their goal for the June conference:

 

The Conference is aimed at urgently advancing the implementation of the UN resolutions pertaining to the question of Palestine & the two-State solution for the achievement of a just, lasting & comprehensive peace in the Middle East.

 

The Powers That Be have been planning world dominance by 2025 for a long time (see The Star of Jacob’s Trouble, Trump, and the Year 5785 regarding the UN agenda report entitled ‘Global Governance 2025').

 

This global dominance plan is intent on a world without Israel and without America. The Scriptures foretell that God will not allow the destruction of Israel; but as I and others have warned for years, this “PEACE AND SAFETY” announcement will set off a whole other set of dominos that will culminate in the fall of the United States including (among other things I’m sure) the US grid going down (first in the Northeast), the New Madrid Earthquake, and 3 Days of Darkness all designed to SHAKE AND AWAKEN the spiritual sleepers unto salvation BEFORE THE RAPTURE OF THE TRUE CHURCH.

I am watching to see if the prophetic compilation that was done by Hope of the Call of the Bride Blog (which she has discontinued) will come to pass:

 

On the Before Nibiru Comes page of the Call of the Bride blog, Hope shares how Israel and the time of “Peace and Safety” and the 3 Days of Darkness are keys to the order of events leading to the Rapture. The order, in summary, is that in a time of ‘peace and safety’ there will be huge explosions of bombs either coming from or going into Israel followed by a cosmic event involving Nibiru that triggers an earthquake and three days of darkness. Some have prophesied that the Rapture will then occur 40 days after the three days of darkness.  

Both Call of the Bride and Rivkah Ministries were shown a terrible earthquake along with days of darkness. [Erasing the Line in the Sand . . . excerpt]

 

As a woman of God called to be a prophetic watchman, it is not my job to sugar coat what my Brethren will have to endure before we get to look intimately into the face of our precious Lord. But understand this—WE HAVE BEEN CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS FOR HE has made us OVERCOMERS in ALL SITUATIONS! (For more encouragement check out “I AM COMING FIRST IN YOU, MY CHILDREN, THEN I WILL COME FOR YOU!”)

 

WHO Pandemic Treaty

 

That includes overcoming a second “sorcery scenario” or spread of a disease much more dangerous than the first scenario (read Drones, Disease X, and Earthquakes in the Year of "X” posted December 15, 2024).

So though his view of the Rapture is askew in my understanding of the Scriptures, our Post-Tribulationist Brother in Christ Michael Snyder is correct in the following article saying many will die due to this: The WHO Got Their New “Pandemic Treaty” Just In Time For The Great Pestilences That Are Rapidly Approaching.

Year of The Shining One Anointing

But if the ministration of death, written [and] engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which [glory] was to be done away:

How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

2 Corinthians 3:7-8 KJV

 

You Have Christ in You & are Worthy to Escape!

 

But remember when these tremors and when these tumultuous moments happen,

Summer says, I will take it so that the fall can do its work in America. . .

And during the fall there shall be many that fall

And many that shall rise from the dust; the earth is standing prepared.

Strange July Leading to a 2024 Rapture?

 

Expect to see great miracles, Brethren!

 

The Spirit of Christ has revealed to me and many others how we will walk in great glory and power during this tumultuous season!

Who are the Tribulation Saints? and Saved from Wrath

No matter what calamity you may witness, no matter how terrifying events may become, steel your mind with the thought that we might have to wait until THE LAST MINUTE, as it seems we serve a God who rescues us when it looks like we are almost beyond rescuing.

 

. . . One day, Beloved of the Lord, we will be pressed from all sides with nowhere to escape. Suddenly, He will snatch us up and away from the destruction—at the very last atomos! 

In a moment, [atomos G823] in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. - 1 Corinthians 15:52 KJV 

So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. - Hebrews 9:28 ESV

BRACE YOURSELF AMERICA!!!

Last warning?

 

Since learning of the New Madrid earthquake prophecies years ago (see FACING THE DRAGON IN JUNE? THEN WE FLY!), I take note whenever there is a sizable earthquake in the middle of America. And, not to my surprise, there was one near me just this past Saturday, the day before Mother’s Day:

 

An earthquake of 4.1 preliminary magnitude jolted parts of the southern U.S. on Saturday morning.

The quake hit about 13 miles from Greenback, Tennessee, which is about 30 miles south of Knoxville, the U.S. Geological Survey said, around 9 a.m. local time.

Residents in Atlanta and parts of western North Carolina reported on social media feeling the tremors. Source

 

Though I live in western North Carolina, I did not feel the tremors, but I have to agree with what Michael Snyder recently posted:

 

In recent years, we have witnessed a lot of noteworthy earthquakes in the heartland of the United States.

To me, they are reminders of what is coming.

Thankfully, we have not experienced a cataclysmic New Madrid earthquake yet.

But we have been warned over and over again that such an earthquake is coming, and the clock is ticking. . . 

In September 2020, a friend of mine named Donna Hazlett shared a vision of the coming New Madrid earthquake that she had in 2019…

 

Hi Michael,

Last year, I had a vision during the day. I was wide awake and all of a sudden I was transported and was standing next to a man and I had peace with him. I don’t know who it was or if he was an angel. But I had perfect peace with him and knew I was safe. I felt calm standing next to him. Where we were standing, in front of us there was black asphalt like a small parking lot, but there weren’t any painted markings where cars would park, but it was an area of black asphalt and beyond that there were trees and hills.

It was daytime. We stood and looked ahead. Then it was as if the earth began to wobble on it’s axis. Those were the exact words that came to my mind as it happened. In your book, someone described it as the ground rolling up and down. That’s how it looked. But underneath my feet, it felt as though the earth was wobbling on it’s axis. Then he showed me a highway with cars driving on it. It was still daylight and the highway was dry.

One moment the cars were driving along like normal and the next moment they were completely engulfed underwater. It was all under water. The highway was suddenly under water. The cars were turning over underneath the water. I didn’t know for sure where this was at the time so I emailed a Pastor in Florida, because of the highways going under the water. I ordered your book and it arrived yesterday, August 24th. As I was reading the prophecies last night, I realized that it was my area that was being shown to me. I am minutes from the Mississippi River and the bridge to St. Louis. Our country was split in two and that’s why the water gushed over the cars and highway, the highway sank under the water. It was St. Louis sinking. Like it was swallowed up in the water. Our country was split in half and divided by the water.

Michael, I don’t know if this had anything to do with it, but it was shortly after that vision there were three separate times where Jesus was face-to-face with me and told me to stand. It happened three different times after that vision. . .

 

But we know that this great earthquake will not occur yet, because as I have extensively documented, many others have been shown that it comes after the land of Israel is divided. 

Interestingly, on May 10th the Jerusalem Post reported that President Trump may issue a declaration regarding a Palestinian state during his trip to the Middle East… 

Subsequently, on May 12th, the Times of Israel confirmed that the Saudis are trying to persuade President Trump to give formal recognition to a Palestinian state… [Emphasis added by Lyn.]

 

Trump’s “Big” Announcement

 

In fact, it was all over the internet that “Trump’s big announcement” was possibly just that—recognition of the Two-State Solution. Instead on May 12, 2025, President Trump gave a threefold announcement of the 90 day “cooling off period” during which we could potentially negotiate a “trade deal” with China, the release of a U.S.-Israeli hostage, and the drug price executive order. This was indeed significant, yet I would not have labeled it an announcement that is "as big as it gets".

 

Anything dealing with Israel is what I consider "as big as it gets".

 

So we must wait to see what our President does as he practices “The Art of the Deal” with Saudi Arabia and Qatar and visits Israel during his visit to the Middle East from May 13-16.

 

According to an April 22, 2025, Haaretz article:

 

Egyptian and Qatari mediators have received US assurances that Washington will pressure Israel to accept a seven-year proposal for a Gaza cease-fire, which includes an Israeli withdrawal and the release of all hostages from Hamas captivity. According to Qatari reports, Hamas would transfer control of Gaza to a professional committee under the Palestinian Authority.

 

There are many global meetings from now through September and central to their plans is forcing Israel into a Two-State Solution. This prompts me to repeat what I wrote in 2025 Head-spinning Signs of Our Exodus--UFO Disclosure = 2025 Rapture?—

 

Before nuclear and galactic w@r begins, however, there will come a great earthquake in America due to her major part in forcing Israel to divide Jerusalem and give up land to form a Palestinian state via the Two-State Solution.

 

This is a consequence our nation will suffer. We will not be able to pray this away. We can, however, intercede for God’s mercy on the individuals who will be directly affected and seek His guidance for our own lives. Most likely, He will provide us with last minute revelations as we fervently reach as many as possible to turn toward Christ and eternal life with Him!

 

BRACE YOURSELF, AMERICA! And Church, be ready to speak the Word of salvation and then to fly Home!!!

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Gideon’s Chariots & the May 15 Deadline

Will They Say, “PEACE & SAFETY” this June?

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Gideon’s Chariots & the May 15 Deadline

 

With eagle eyes I am watching Israel as we near her 77^th anniversary this month.

 

According to Axios, if a deal for the release of the hostages is not finalized by May 15th, the IDF is literally going to flatten all buildings in Gaza that are still standing and move the entire population of the territory to one vast “humanitarian area”… Source

 

This operation will be called “Gideon’s Chariots”.

 

Once “Operation Gideon’s Chariots” is under way, Israel will send its troops across much – if not all – of Gaza, and will seek to establish a “sustained presence” there, Israel officials said. 

Israeli officials are also talking openly about the displacement of Palestinians to southern Gaza, and their potential “voluntary” displacement from the territory altogether to allow the implementation of the reconstruction plan announced by the US president, Donald Trump, in January. The far-right Israeli finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, told Israelis on Monday to embrace the word “occupation”. 

All this will confirm many people’s long-held fears of Israel’s intentions in Gaza and prompt international outrage. theguardian.com

 

In The Sign of the Clay Jug & the Basket I explain why the name of this operation is significant:

 

The Book of Judges beginning in Chapter 6 tells the story of Gideon and foreshadows the time of Jacob’s Trouble coming to Israel. Also hidden within the story of Gideon I believe is a prophetic illustration of the Rapture of those in Christ. 

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. - Judges 6:1 KJV

And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: [and] because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which [are] in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds. - Judges 6:2 KJV 

Compare the above verses with those in the Books of Daniel and Revelation telling of seven years of great trouble coming to national Israel and how at the opening of the Seals everyone “hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains”!

On the Cusp of WW3 going Global?

 

We are living in a time when war gives birth to more war. It looks like World War 3 will give birth to the Ezekiel 38-39 Gog-Magog War. 

 

Dreams of WW3 and WW3 draft/warning about the month of June. Joey bon shares dreams God gave him 7 years

ago and believes they are a 7-year warning for what will manifest anytime now. 

In 3/29 Solar Eclipse Seen In America - Major Event Imminent, Jarrett at Supernatural By Design YTC says Jeremiah 49 is about to happen and the Elam/Iran incident will be the trigger towards World War 3 going global. (The prophecy against Elam begins in verse 34.)

 

"Elam was a region in the Near East corresponding to the modern-day provinces of Ilam and Khuzestan in southern Iran (though it also included part of modern-day southern Iraq) . . ."   https://www.worldhistory.org/elam/

 

Will the Elam prophecy be fulfilled leading to Joel 3:2 and the parting or dividing of God’s land; in other words, the United Nations imposing the Two-State Solution on Israel? UN Secretary-General António Guterres told the Security Council the Two-State Solution is ‘near the point of no return’ and urged Member States to take irreversible steps to implement it. “He emphasized peace in the Middle East hinges on a future where Israel and Palestine living side by side, with Jerusalem as the capital of both states.”

 

New York

April 29, 2025

Secretary-General's remarks to the Security Council - on the Middle East [in part]

 

My call to Member States is clear and urgent: 

Take irreversible action towards implementing a two-State solution. Do not let extremists on any side undermine what remains of the peace process. 

The High-Level Conference in June, co-chaired by France and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is an important opportunity to revitalize international support. 

I encourage Member States to go beyond affirmations, and to think creatively about the concrete steps they will take to support a viable two-State solution before it is too late. 

At the same time, the Palestinian Authority needs stepped-up and sustained support – politically and financially. This is crucial to ensure the continued viability of Palestinian institutions, consolidate ongoing reforms, and enable the PA to resume its full responsibilities in Gaza. 

Mr. President, 

At this hinge point of history for the people of the Middle East – and on this issue on which so much hinges – leaders must stand and deliver. Show the political courage and exercise the political will to make good on this central question for peace for Palestinians, Israelis, the region and humanity. 

Thank you.

A May 7, 2025, Jerusalem Post article, US warns of Saudi Arabia deal advancement without Israel, reported that Trump is growing frustrated with Israel’s approach:

 

A senior American official delivered unusually sharp criticism of Israel’s conduct in hostage negotiations and warned that the United States is prepared to finalize a regional agreement with Saudi Arabia, even without Israeli participation. . .

 

This sounded like it was fake news, but on May 8 Israel Hayom posted:

 

Two senior figures in Trump's circle stated in recent closed-door conversations, whose contents reached Israel Hayom, that Trump has decided to stop waiting for Israel and instead move forward with Middle East initiatives without Netanyahu.

The sources explained that the president wishes to make decisions he believes will advance American interests, particularly regarding Saudi Arabia and Gulf states. Israel was supposed to participate in some of these steps, referring primarily to normalization with Saudi Arabia. However, according to Trump's perspective, Netanyahu is delaying making the necessary decisions. Given this situation, the president refuses to wait until Israel takes its expected actions and is proceeding without Israeli participation.

 

To me this is jaw-dropping news! Does it mean America is ripe for judgment? It could mean consequences for the United States especially if the Trump administration proceeds with the Abraham Accords without Israel.

It is my understanding that Those in Christ will witness the beginning of these judgments (which are not wrath yet—see New York, Chicago, L.A.) which will be the springboard for a Great Awakening such as the world has never seen before. When the Lord deems that the net is full, we will be whisked up to meet Him in the air!

TRUMP’S BIG ANNOUNCEMENT MAY 12, 2025!

 

@TrumpDailyPosts 

𝐀 𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓—𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐎𝐎𝐍! From Donald Trump Truth Social 05/06/25

 

An update was posted May 10th related to President Trump’s Middle East visit—Gulf diplomatic sources debate if Trump will announce US recognition of Palestinian state. The Jerusalem Post originally titled this article Will the United States recognize 'Palestine' under Donald Trump? but changed it to reflect the content being from the perspective of Gulf diplomats who believe Trump will announce a Two-State Solution:

 

A Gulf diplomatic source, who declined to be named or disclose his position, told The Media Line, "President Donald Trump will issue a declaration regarding the State of Palestine and American recognition of it, and that there will be the establishment of a Palestinian state without the presence of Hamas." 

The source also added, "If an announcement of American recognition of the State of Palestine is made, it will be the most important declaration that will change the balance of power in the Middle East, and more countries will join the Abraham Accords." 

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee denied the statements made by this source on X/Twitter Saturday afternoon, saying that Israel has no better friend than the US.

 

President Trump will make his important announcement Monday, May 12, 2025:

 

President Donald Trump has teased an upcoming "very, very big" announcement that he plans to reveal before departing for his Middle East tour.

Describing the disclosure as "one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject," Trump promised that the timing would soon be finalized. 

The announcement has created anticipation, as Trump has hinted that it will be a significant development, although he provided few details. Its timing has drawn attention, coinciding with his Middle East visit set to begin May 13, which is expected to include major commercial and defense agreements with Gulf nations. It comes amid heightened regional tensions, including the ongoing war in Gaza, renewed efforts to revive indirect nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran, and the recent ceasefire agreement with the Houthi rebels in Yemen. 

While Trump did not provide specific details, he told reporters in the Oval Office during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that the announcement would be made either Thursday, Friday, or Monday, pending final preparations. He emphasized that the disclosure would be "as big as it gets" but refrained from revealing the subject, describing it only as "very positive." Trump did not offer further clues. Carney, seated beside him, responded, "I'm on the edge of my seat." Newsweek

Pearl Harbor 2?

 

Prophetic voices besides mine have been warning of consequential judgment coming and now could it be here? At the 12:25 minute mark in a May 3, 2025, video by Last Days YTC—Pray with me today, the Lord is revealing more about the state of the world and what’s coming—Brandon Biggs warned of another Pearl Harbor coming. Then today—a week after Brandon’s warning—a video popped up in my Youtube feed titled, U.S. General Warns that China is Preparing for a Pearl Harbor Redux! That means we must PRAY, BRETHREN! Even if this is a judgment that we cannot stop, “the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much” and can lessen how it affects individuals.

MAGA IN THE DESERT: President Trump Heading To Saudi Arabia With Tech Titans From Blackrock And Palantir For Saudi-US Investment Forum--Published on May 8, 2025 By Geoffrey Grider

Next he spoke of the Middle East: “I saw Trump flying out on an eagle. Then I saw negotiations between Israel and Hamas regarding Gaza. I did not see the Two-State Solution, but I saw a peace treaty being discussed that included the building of the Temple.” 

At the 50-minute mark, the Spirit of the Lord shows Brandon that “there will be a provoking of Israel to begin war with Iran”. (Remember this is what The Powers That Be want as outlined by Albert Pike.)

As Don Stewart said in his video Breaking News May 9, 2025, “Israel going it alone is precisely where the Bible says things are heading. Indeed, in the Ezekiel 38-39 invasion there is nobody who comes to their aid.”

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

 

Brandon continued his May 3 video by interceding as the Holy Spirit led him. At 1:09:00 minutes, he said, “We say goodbye to April. We're pressing on toward May. May Day. MAY DAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY.”

 

He goes on sharing what he’s being shown in the Spirit including seeing the shredding of evidence to cover up side deals being made with Ukraine by Democratic politicians and some Republicans.

 

Hooks in the Jaws!

 

Our Brother was also shown that Putin is not happy about Trump’s plan to build back Gaza and it is going to provoke more war. It’s a HOOK. So here again is the allusion to Ezekiel 38:4.

 

Brandon wasn’t specifically shown the Two-State Solution but he was shown a Peace Deal. Most of the nations of the world want this “final solution” and the United Nations, as I’ve stated above, is all for it. The UN, of course, rejects Israel’s Gideon’s Chariots Operation stating that:

 

Israel’s plan to take control of relief assistance in Gaza would put civilian lives in danger and cause mass displacement while using aid as “bait”. . .  Gaza: UN agencies reject Israeli plan to use aid as ‘bait’

 

Those with a nose for prophecy will catch the connection of the UN’s use of the word “bait” with the Ezekiel 38 “hooks in the jaws” prophecy. This aligns with the prophetic allusion mentioned in ASTEROID AND EAST COAST TSUNAMI THIS SPRING?:

 

In his video "Earthquakes & Volcanic Eruption Dream" Brandon Dawson at Tribe of Christians warns that we need to WATCH THE MONTH OF MAY (when Israel turns 77) and onward as we close in on the Hebrew year 5786. The number 6 is the Hebrew letter vav, which symbolizes a tent peg or hook bringing to mind “the hook in the jaw” of Ezekiel 38: 

And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts [of armour, even] a great company [with] bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: - Ezekiel 38:3-4 KJV

 

I don’t know about you, but as I was drafting this article I realized that the Scripture uses the plural—hookS into thy jawS. God is telling us there will be more than one hook and more than one jaw pertaining to the great army drawn down to attack Israel.

 

The word “Chariots” in the name of Israel’s operation reminds us of more parallelism between the Old Testament Exodus and the New Testament Rapture Exit which Gary and Jeff of Unsealed present in their latest video, God Couldn't Be Clearer: The Rapture Linchpin, Israel-Church Contrast, & Mega Signs Just as Foretold.

 

At 25:58 minutes Jeff draws a metaphor between the Rapture of the Church with the parting of the Red Sea. As the Israelites were trapped between Pharaoh and his chariots who were seeking to destroy God’s people and capture them back to Egypt, so too Satan seeks to hinder and prevent the escape of the Bride of Christ from this world. But just as the Red Sea parted allowing the Israelites to escape, so too will the veil between dimensions tear apart as the Heavenly Bridegroom calls forth those in Christ to meet the Lord in the air! (Related: Event Horizon--The Resurrection)

 

At 40 minutes Jeff and Gary share excellent insights on Isaiah Chapter 43 which begins with the Lord speaking about the CHARIOTS of Pharoah:

 

Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow. - Isaiah 43:16-17 KJV

The Rapture in the Story of Gideon?

 

Now let me share with you where I believe I saw a foreshadowing of the Rapture in the story of Gideon which is why the news of Israel’s Gaza Operation being named “Gideon’s Chariots” caught my prophetic eye:

 

After noticing the parallels between Judges 6:1-2 and the Books of Daniel and Revelation, what next stood out to me in the story was where the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon:

 

And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which [was] in Ophrah, that [pertained] unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide [it] from the Midianites. - Judges 6:11 KJV

 

We are not yet in the seven-year Tribulation but are at the edge of it beginning and we are feeling the oppression of the enemy as Gideon was. At this point in the story, it is after the wheat harvest. Later in the story in Judges 7:13 it tells of the dream of barley bread that represents Gideon and his army.

 

Righteous Gideon and his army are a picture of BARLEY just as those in Christ are considered part of the FIRSTFRUITS of the BARLEY HARVEST associated with Christ’s resurrection. Gideon was threshing WHEAT when the angel of the Lord came to him. Ruth and Boaz--a picture of the marriage of The Bride of Christ to Her Lord--married after the WHEAT HARVEST.

 

When I came to verses 19 and 20 in Judges 7, my jaw dropped and I gasped, “It’s a picture of the Rapture!”

 

So Gideon, and the hundred men that [were] with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that [were] in their hands. 

And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow [withal]: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. - Judges 7:19-20 KJV

 

In Judg. 7:19 Gideon and his company came to the camp of Midian "in the beginning of the middle watch," or at midnight.

 

(2.) As representing the terrors of the great day. So the excellent bishop Hall applies it; if these pitchers, trumpets, and firebrands, did so daunt and dismay the proud troops of Midian and Amalek, who shall be able to stand before the last terror, when the trumpet of the archangel shall sound, the elements shall be on a flame, the heavens pass away with a great noise, and the Lord himself shall descend with a shout! blb/Matthew Henry

 

Matthew Henry here is referring to The Day of the Lord which encompasses the two-part Second Coming of Jesus Christ--

 

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. - 2 Peter 3:10 KJV

 

The Heavenly Bridegroom comes at midnight (Matthew 25:6) with a shout, the voice of the archangel (“voice” is translated from phōnē which can mean “ a sound, tone, as of musical instruments), and the call of a great trumpet:

 

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. . . - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 KJV

 

At the sound of the great heavenly euphony, our spiritual bodies will break out from our fleshy “clay pots” in a brilliant blaze and with lightning speed meet the Lord in the air!

 

. . . and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
