The Bride's Revival and The Rapture

40 Days

Sister Gigi of the Blue Heaven YTC recently gave an EMERGENCY ALERT of the Dragon’s geopolitical attack here in the United States through FEMA. She also says, “It’s very possible that we are in the ark for 40 days while the storm and flood waters are rising. . .”

There’s something to the 40-days period.

Remember that when Jesus ascended, 40 days after He rose, he took with him those saints who rose with him 40 days earlier--those that were seen by many in the holy city.

Gigi’s mention of 40 days reminded me of the prophecies of the Overcomer Army to arise:

It is becoming clearer to me that we will see some catastrophic events due to judgments—decisions God has made to lift His hand of grace—before the coming of His actual WRATH. (For a better understanding of “judgment versus wrath” please read my "New York, Chicago, L.A." article.)

Because of God’s judgments the Dragon, Satan, will be allowed to cause chaos. But before you become dismayed about all this (as I was when I began to put this all together), the Spirit of the Lord has been revealing to His people a magnificent ending!

Those familiar with my blog know I too believe in a planet or dwarf star God will use to allow destruction in the end days. Also, I believe there will be a great manifestation of God’s glory through His Beloved Bride of Christ upon the earth during a Great Shaking that will come before the Resurrection/Rapture.

3 Days of Darkness

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. The Rapture will then [some say] occur 40 days after the three days of darkness.

But in the midst of this dark tenuous time the Spirit of God will cause us to “Arise and shine!” as the Mighty Glory of YHWH manifests through us! It is the time of Isaiah 60:

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. - Isaiah 60:1-2 KJV

[Above excerpts from Erasing the Line in the Sand for a September Rapture]

Plague then 3^rd Great Awakening

Some have referred to this glorious time as a 3^rd Great Awakening. David Wilkerson prophesied in 1986 that a 3rd Great Awakening will follow a plague!

"I see a plague coming on the world, and the bars, churches and government will shut down. The plague will hit New York City and shake it like it has never been shaken. The plague is going to force prayerless believers into radical prayer and into their Bibles, and repentance will be the cry from the man of God in the pulpit. And out of it will come a third Great Awakening that will sweep America and the world." sermonindex.net

I believe the current so-called pandemic of the corona virus is that plague!

The Bride’s Revival

Paul Keith Davis prophesied of the Bride’s Revival, which I believe is the same thing David Wilkerson saw in 1986. In his 24-minute video titled A Dream with William Branham: Coming Full Circle, Paul Keith tells of a dream wherein he spoke with William Branham--a forerunner of a powerful company of God’s end times people. Paul Keith went on to say that some historians have written that Branham walked in a power that was the most since the early Church. But Brother William Branham said there is a day coming when a body of people will emerge that will have the kind of power that would make what he had seem small or simple. Then he says:

“The earth has not yet seen the Bride’s Revival!”

Late Spring Rapture?

If the prophecies of this Third Great Awakening arising when the earth is enveloped in physical darkness due to the Great Red Dragon/Nibiru/Planet X eclipsing the Sun are accurate, it would be in conjunction with the coming of the Dragon’s tail and the Asteroid Shower insiders have reported that could hit earth as soon as the late Spring!

Dear ones, I do NOT pretend to have this all figured out. This is how the puzzle pieces are coming together in my mind.

Like Brother Chooch, I am TOL--Thinking Out Loud. In his latest video to date, he outlines The Rapture Convergence Theory 2020 - CONDENSED - Why We Fly This Spring & Trib Starts This Fall. IT IS WELL WORTH YOUR TIME TO WATCH HIS VIDEO! In his 40-minute talk, Brother Chooch takes several things into account to come up with his conclusion of a Spring Rapture, some of which are:

--The Fig Tree Parable

--The accounts of the 3 Gentile women who represent the Overcoming Church

--The 7 Species Harvest Cycle

--2020 Prophetic Signs

Dear readers, MUCH WILL HAPPEN THIS SPRING! Insiders say there will be some type of frightening celestial event around May 12 this year--WILL IT BE AN UNSCHEDULED ECLIPSE?! As I posted earlier, they also say there is a catastrophic asteroid shower to occur between June and August of 2020. If this is when the Dragon’s tail casts down the fallen angels (Revelation 12:4), then, just as our Brother Chooch has concluded, we are looking at a late Spring Rapture! (Related article: The Revelation 12 Dragon and the Rapture)

Pentecost=Dispensation Change

Some believe the season of Pentecost is the most likely time for the Rapture.

The Sky Live still charts Comet Atlas to hit perihelion on May 31, Pentecost this year. Perry Stone did a teaching where he shared that comets are definite signs from God (see Perry Stone Comets). The mainstream media are downplaying Atlas, but according to Skywatch Media News, Atlas is a once-in-a-lifetime comet--A Comet Five Times Greater than Jupiter and half the size of the Sun! I thought it noteworthy that this narrator said:

“2020 is becoming a year of tribulation and the year of the comet…”

 

astronomy.com

Stephanie Dawn from Unsealed.org made some astute observations in her article, Pentecost--The Feast That Ties Everything Together For the Church:

Note how Pentecost/Shavuot seems to introduce new dispensations – first, the Dispensation of Law (Mosaic covenant), then the Dispensation of Grace (Spirit of the Law).  Will it also introduce the interim dispensation of wrath (the Day of the Lord, commonly called the “Tribulation”, which seems to involve both Law and Grace)?

In Part 3 of her article, Stephanie writes, “Peter affirms that the Holy Spirit coming at Pentecost was a partial fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy”:

The end of the Holy Spirit’s sealing ministry in the church will be marked by wonders in the heavens, signs on the earth, blood, fire, vapor of smoke, darkened sun, and a blood red moon.  These events clearly did not occur on the first Pentecost, so why would Peter mention them in his sermon – on Pentecost?  Could it be that he is announcing the future fulfillment of the remainder of Joel’s prophecy on some future Pentecost?

Joel 2 Army

I was elated when I re-read what Stephanie Dawn wrote about Pentecost and Joel’s prophecy. Is it possible that the very last move of God--the Bride’s Revival--is the fulfillment of the Joel 2 army culminating in our escape and wedding? I initially made this connection in Year of the Shining One Anointing. Following are excerpts:

Ever since the Spirit of the Lord has revealed the coming Great Wave of Glory, I have been seeking to understand what it will entail. (Related article: Erasing the Line in the Sand for a September Rapture)

What He has shown me is limited as we each only “see in part” which is one of the reasons we need the whole Body of Christ. In summary I have seen that America would experience a great shaking resulting in a brief revival (The dropping of HIS shoe--2 Visions ).  I have also seen a time of physical darkness coming and a glorious end times army to be unleashed ("New York, Chicago, L.A."). . .

The end times army illustrated in Joel 2 may be a prophecy of this. The first verse sets Joel 2 in a time very near “the day of the Lord”:

Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming. It is close at hand—

Joel 2:1 NIV

As the chapter continues, the prophet writes of “a great people . . . there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it”. 

Joel 2 begins at the time just prior to the day of the Lord and graduates to the day of the Lord beginning BUT foretells of a group escaping it! The chapter then culminates in the restoration of the people and land of Israel.

Joel 2:16 hints at the pre-Tribulation snatching of the Bride of Christ. . .

The Plague of Darkness this Spring?

When is this time of darkness coming and how does it relate to the shining one anointing and the Rapture?

In Rapture Tapestry Reveals April 2020 I point out how we have seen a replay of eight of The Ten Plagues that befell Egypt in Moses’ day. The 9^th plague is that of darkness. There is much evidence that this plague of darkness will be related to the incoming Nibiru/Planet X.

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.

. . . What Hope has written at her blog about the time of peace and safety so-called and how it relates to the days of darkness aligns with what the Lord showed me:

I saw a great army in full armor on horseback seemingly knit together. Darkness surrounded them but great flames radiated from their heads.

“What am I seeing, Lord?” I asked.

My great end times army is about to be unleashed. It is a force to be reckoned with. It is the time of peace and safety so-called in which they will be released. . .

In my mind, everything is pointing to this great move of God’s end time army being imminent. As I wrote above, perhaps mid-May (or even sooner) is when an unscheduled eclipse will occur causing the 3 days of darkness:

It is my belief that this coming 3 days of blackout will be due to The Great Red Dragon showing up and the globalists are either preconditioning the masses with an internet blackout beforehand OR are trying to cover up the reason for an actual 3 days of darkness being caused by Planet X/Nibiru!

Notice that the Dragon appears before the birth of the Man Child which means we will see this sign just prior to the birth or Rapture of the Overcoming Church!

. . . and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. - Revelation 12:4 KJV

[The Revelation 12 Dragon and The Rapture excerpt]

The Victorious Bride!

The members of the Body of Christ need one another especially in these last days! Those of us anticipating our precious Lord’s return are knit together in anticipation of that Great Day! The thought of us being so powerfully and marvelously knit together as the Joel 2 Army is just breathtaking! It seems right to reiterate this rhema from 2018:

. . . Continue to watch, but also be at the ready for even a retreating army does not turn its back on the enemy! The time for My Bride to hear the last trump nears. She is not retreating but is being called home to rest. But til then, Beloved, fight on! I know you feel you have but a little strength but that is when My grace is sufficient and My strength is made greater within you! Shine, My brilliant ones, SHINE! You are the glory of My head and the joy of My heart and I too long for that day when we are together. "New York, Chicago, L.A."

After the plagues of darkness and the death of the firstborn of Egypt at Passover, Moses led the Israelites out of bondage. Just as Israel left Egypt not as fear-filled slaves but as richly victorious children of God, the Overcoming Church will not be exiting this world as a defeated, panic-stricken retreating army, but will be caught up by her Kinsmen Redeemer and Holy Bridegroom as a glorious Bride in shining victory!

5-27-20 JOEL 2 ARMY

The most encouraging video to date was posted by Sid Roth titled Last Night I Had the Most Vivid Prophetic Dream I've Ever Had. It is not a coincidence that Sid mentions he turns 80 this September for it will be the end of the Year 5780!

In this 15 minute video Sid shares what this coming glorious move of God will be like and parallels it with the Book of Joel Chapter 2! He tells how there is no paradigm for this move and every past move is a dinosaur compared with this next one that is coming! This is the best time to be alive in Christ!

4-23-20 UPDATE:
A friend of mine sent me a video that made tears of rejoicing come to my eyes. I believe it is confirmation of The Bride's Revival and reminded me of The dropping of HIS shoe--2 visions wherein God dropped into my spirit that there was going to be a very brief window of time for revival. The posting of this video I believe is a sign that the Bride's Revival will manifest in America any time now:

Donald’s Bible | Hebrides Revival | Dr. Clarence Sexton

4-20-20 UPDATE: 

This morning I was led to watch a video by our Sister in Christ, Zab Paschke. I have mentioned Zab before--she may be unknown to you but I believe she hears very clearly from the Lord Jesus Christ. What He showed her is such a wonderful confirmation to what I have shared in this article I wanted to post it for you to consider also:

DREAM - Rise Up/Rose Moon

Tribulation Before THE TRIBULATION

Nowhere in the Scriptures does it promise disciples of Yahshuah Ha Mashiach a smooth problem-free life! John 16:33 promises the opposite. These years, months, and days of “pre-labor pains” leading us into the coming time of God’s wrath upon the earth have not greatly affected many of us here in the contiguous United States. I believe that is going to change, however—very soon.

The Great Divide

There is coming a great divide in America.

Division is very apparent already in our beloved United States; but just as the earthquakes and natural disasters have increased exponentially, so will division increase. A physical division of the contiguous States has been prophesied via a great earthquake (see The Solar Eclipse Omen), but it is coming into my spirit that there is coming a great divide to those who call themselves the Church.

Just as not all Israel are of Israel, so is not all who call themselves a member of the church body actually of the Church.

Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they [are] not all Israel, which are of Israel;

Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, [are they] all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. - Romans 9:6-8 KJV

Even Jesus in Revelation Chapters 2 and 3 speaks of those who call themselves a church but who are not part of those He considers His Bride and warns them to overcome!

You may be part of a church/ekklesia/assembly but not necessarily bound for Heaven! Those who wait to confess Jesus as their Lord after the Rapture will be the saints who will endure the Tribulation as recorded in the Book of Revelation:

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. - Revelation 13:7 KJV

[Excerpt from Who are the Tribulation Saints?]

The translators for the King James Version of the Scriptures did not do us any favors by translating the Greek word ekklesia G1577 into the word “church”. This Greek word refers to “a gathering of citizens called out from their homes into some public place, an assembly”. (If you wish a deeper study on this, check out aggressivechristianity.net’s article The Correct Meaning of "Church" and "Ecclesia".)

I am reiterating this point because I do not know whether the true Church will see this great divide that is coming to America or be caught up to be with the Lord beforehand. Individual earthquakes have been occurring throughout the globe which we ARE subject to. However, the worldwide earthquake of the Sixth Seal is in the category of “the wrath of the Lamb”, of which the Bride of Christ is NOT subject to (see also Saved From Wrath).

Our island state of Hawaii has recently been experiencing earthquakes and a mighty volcanic eruption. Soon, I believe, the contiguous United States will experience the same thing probably in the Pacific Northwest.

Comeback of the Plagues of Egypt

To my knowledge the Scriptures do not foretell that the world will see a reenactment of the ten plagues Egypt experienced during the time of Moses. However, that is exactly what has been happening! The Youtube channel Rapture Watchers does an excellent job encapsulating prophetic signs. Back in 2017 she did a video—The Prophecies are Happening Right Before our Eyes!—that listed eight of the ten plagues of Moses that made a comeback in 2016:

Waters to blood✅

Frogs✅

Gnats or lice✅

Swarms of flies✅

Animals die✅

Boils✅

Hail✅

Locusts✅

One of the plagues of Egypt was darkness. The Spirit of the Lord has not shown me this will occur, but there are those who have been prophesying three days of darkness to occur worldwide before the rapture. IF this darkness is referring to what Isaiah prophesied, it is part of the wrath of the Day of the Lord and the Bride of Christ is NOT appointed to it:

Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. Isaiah 13:9-11 KJV

In Isaiah 66 and Revelation 12 we learn that the prophetic woman gives birth to a corporate male child before the Day of the LORD begins.  This male child is the Church, which escapes to Heaven before the woman Israel begins having birth pangs. . . unsealed.org

The Bride Overcomes

Everyone should be prepared for emergencies especially in these days, but those who are in Christ (i.e. have confessed Romans 10:9) NEED NOT FEAR! In my blog article Trouble for the Bride Before the Rapture I explained that although we shall have tribulation while we are in this world, we also have Christ in us and are overcomers through Him. This is why the Bride is also referred to as “he who overcometh” in Revelation Chapters 2 and 3!

Unsealed.org correlates the recent royal wedding with our upcoming Heavenly Wedding in their article Seven Major Prophecies Have Suddenly Converged. The article reminds us that the Bride who escapes in the rapture is also referred to as the “man child” of Revelation Chapter 12:

After the child's escape the woman goes into labor, which is described in great detail in Matthew 24 (known as Jesus' Olivet Discourse).  The resurrection and rapture of the Church are prophetically described in Isaiah 26 (vv. 19 and 20, respectively).  Notice that in verse 19 the resurrection is likened to the earth giving birth to the dead.  When a birth is about to occur a woman's water breaks and her cervix dilates.  When contractions begin there is pain that often feels like a burning sensation.  This is commonly called the ring of fire and if you've been to a childbirth class you may have heard the term.

The earth also has what's called the "Ring of Fire"—the most seismically active area on earth, a ring of extreme volcanism surrounding the Pacific Ocean. Guess what's smack-dab in the middle of the Ring of Fire?  The Island of Hawaii and Mt. Kilauea, which has been erupting for several weeks now. . . [Excerpt from unsealed.org]

What’s Next?

What is the turning point that triggers the Rapture/Tribulation? Gary of Unsealed lists some possibilities:

1. The rapture's occurrence is seemingly disconnected from specific human actions in Israel and Jerusalem and could happen before any deal is made or war occurs.

2. A deal dividing Israel and/or Jerusalem is agreed to and God intervenes with the rapture or trib (Zech. 12).

3. Israel takes all of Jerusalem in a deal and then begins rebuilding the Temple—a blasphemous thing to do—and God intervenes (Is. 66:1–6).

4. Whatever the sign of the dragon is (from Rev. 12:3—4) makes its appearance and the Church is in apparent mortal danger from satan and his minions (which may present themselves as extraterrestrial beings)—and God intervenes via the rapture. unsealed.org

The window of time before the Overcomers are harvested is narrowing rapidly; however, God is merciful and desires that none perish (2 Peter 3:9). I believe the world will see greater natural disasters which will hopefully awaken the spiritually slumbering people before the true Church leaves.  Just as the chosen bride Esther was instrumental in the revealing of Haman’s evil plot against the Jewish people, the catching away of the true Church and Bride of Christ will lead to the full revealing of the Luciferian elite’s New World Order plot.

Let us pray for His wisdom and guidance in these last of the last days and reach out to those He puts in our path.

Caveat: This blog is an attempt to share my spiritual journey and my understanding of the Scriptures. In the past few years that learning curve has been mostly in eschatology or the study of the end times. I do not pretend to have this all figured out. Also, I do not necessarily agree with all the beliefs of anyone whose material I reference. I seek to be led of the Spirit of God as to the sources I use, however, even Spirit-filled Christians only 'see in part' as it says in 1 Corinthians 13:12.

Trouble for the Bride Before the Rapture?

Trouble—Pressure

In the movie The Music Man, a con artist is told that there isn’t any trouble in River City, so his reply is, “I’ll have to create some”. This is the plan of the global elite for the world. Their motto is, “Order out of chaos”; and we see the work of their hands in the world today. Their goal is to cause chaos and then introduce the Antichrist onto the world stage as the one to bring order.

Of course, the true God YHWH has all this in His more than capable hands. I believe that He is directing me to encourage the brethren as we see this happen for He will not forsake us in this season or ever! We see the pressure building in the world in all arenas—political and moral divide in our nation, geopolitical confrontations (wars and rumors of wars), and natural and manmade disasters.

What do I mean by manmade disasters? If you have never heard of it before, HAARP has technology said to be used to control the weather and the earth’s seismic activity.  

This is not to instill fear in the Bride, but to remind Her that she is also the Overcoming Church!

No one knows with certainty what kind of trouble the Bride will see before our Heavenly Bridegroom catches us away. We see dimly and only in part as it says in 1 Corinthians 13:12.

We are not appointed to the wrath of the Lamb or the winepress of God’s wrath, but we are not promised to escape the trouble caused by a group of elites who think they control the world.

The Bride Overcomes tribulation

The Bride will endure tribulation with a lower case “t” but is not subject to THE Tribulation with a capital “T”:

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. - John 16:33 KJV

Jesus reminds us that it is in the world that we shall have tribulation BUT that just as He overcame, so shall we! This is why the Bride is also referred to as “he who overcometh” in Revelation Chapters 2 and 3!

Tribulation is another word for “trouble” and “pressure”.

All wrath is Tribulation but not all tribulation is wrath.

(I give credit to the Holy Spirit for this phrase.)

This is why many students of the Bible refer to Daniel Chapter 9’s 70^th Week as THE Tribulation which is composed of the “wrath of the Lamb” (Revelation 6:16) in the first half of the 7 years and the second half (the “great winepress of the wrath of God”—Revelation 14:19) is referred to as The GREAT Tribulation. This is the period of time Jesus is referring to in Matthew 24:21.

Then Luke 21 repeats the events Jesus said would occur prior to His coming again to earth (including “the sea and the waves roaring”) but concludes with:

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. - Luke 21:28 KJV

AND

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. - Luke 21:36 KJV

Overcomers are accounted worthy (read Who are the Tribulation Saints?). Their day of redemption is the harpazo.

The Wave of Glory

People on Youtube have told their stories of being threatened for bringing to light information the globalists wish to remain hidden in darkness. K.J. of the YT Channel The Scariest Movie Ever posted a video on June 8, 2013 about one such person who was arrested for posting warnings on the YT Channel OutrDemnDarknes of a plot to use technology to cause tsunamis in order to destroy both America’s West AND East Coasts!

On November 5, 2017, Todd of IT IS FINISHED warned of a HUGE EARTHQUAKE that is to occur prior to the rapture. He is not the only one to post this, but he is a brother in Christ and a source I trust. Even dutchsinse recently reported on the continued slow slip of the San Andreas fault and how this is what was seen in Japan that resulted in the 9.2 earthquake and tsunami of 2011 which he forecasted two days before it occurred (begin watching his video at ~24:30 minutes)!

As I was pondering all this today, the Spirit reminded me to focus on what He has shown me personally. The only disaster I have been shown is related to tsunamis:

When I first received my great wave dreams I thought it was related to other words being posted on the internet regarding a last days move of God. I now believe that my 'great wave' dreams might be related to the warnings other watchmen have been giving on Youtube of tsunamis to hit both the West and East Coasts of the United States. . .

If what was shown to me is both a spiritual and physical tsunami, it means the great waves will catapult our nation into a glorious revival. [Excerpt from The Sea Roaring]

And to confirm that the Spirit of the Lord is announcing both a spiritual and physical tsunami coming, I received the SEASON OF THE OVERCOMER rhema posted on the anniversary of Japan’s great tsunami.

A prophetic word through Kevin Mirasi came the closest to what I received from the Lord. In the video Tsunami in USA, California Earthquake, Russian Attack and Rapture, he says that he doesn't know whether the rapture is immediately during the tsunami or shortly after. This is very similar to what I reported:

Beloved, HEADS UP! The impression in my spirit is we might see Lk 21:25 (the sea roaring) b4 or at the same time we are raptured. IF it occurs I believe it will be a great wave caused by earthquake, asteroid, or nuclear detonation. I ask for forgiveness ahead of time if I am wrong. But would rather risk this than fail in my watch. I have been wrong b4 but at times I have been hearing right. Seek the Lord about this message, of course... [Excerpt from The Sea Roaring]

There have been numerous prophetic warnings about mega earthquakes and tsunamis to hit the United States. The Bride, however, will not be caught off guard and will continue to receive more and more details of what is coming. Seek the Lord regarding all prophecies and warnings—including mine. And ask for confirmation (Deuteronomy 19:15).

Anyone who has made Jesus Christ the Lord of their life has the Spirit of God dwelling within them (1 Corinthians 3:16) and can hear from God for themselves. He will guide you; and, if necessary, send angelic help your way when a disaster strikes!

You, the Bride, are much beloved by the Messiah! She is His reward (Revelation 22:12)!

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ. - 2 Corinthians 11:2 KJV

Our task, should any disaster strike, is to respond as the Spirit leads bringing Christ’s love and the light of the glorious truth of eternity through Him to those with whom we come in contact.

Caveat: This blog is an attempt to share my spiritual journey and my understanding of the Scriptures. In the past few years that learning curve has been mostly in eschatology or the study of the end times. I do not pretend to have this all figured out.

Apostasy and the Coming Alien Invasion

The title I really wanted to use was “Why I Don’t Believe the Bride will be on Earth During the Coming Demonic ‘Alien’ Invasion” but it was too long.

Those who follow my blog know that the first reason for my belief is that the Bride is not appointed to wrath (read Saved from Wrath). In that article I explain the Dragon’s wrath occurs simultaneously with the Lamb’s wrath; therefore, the demonic “alien” invasion will be part of the Dragon’s wrath. My understanding then is we will not be subject to any wrath at all—Dragon’s, Lamb’s, or God’s!

I believe the Bride will be the church of Philadelphia (Revelation 3:10) and that the overcoming church will harpazo before sudden destruction ( 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 5:1-9) (see By the Skin of Our Teeth).

Aliens?

Next, I need to explain to readers what I mean by a “demonic ‘alien’ invasion”.

As I shared in [a] previous blog article, Warnings and Hope to Those Left Behind, the Antichrist will be the world leader who arises during the Tribulation who will actually be infilled with the presence of the nachash—the serpent known as Satan. He will be revealed once the Church has been raptured. [Excerpt from Google Doodle, the Rapture, and Revealing of the Antichrist]

This world leader will come as an extraterrestrial “alien” savior doing great signs and wonders.

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

[Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie . . . 2 Thessalonians 2:8-11 KJV

...You need to understand that what people refer to as ‘aliens’ or ‘extraterrestrials’ are actually evil demonic entities masquerading as these things…

Spirit-filled believers were designed for spiritual warfare. The best teaching ever on this can be found in an article called The Mystery of Spiritual Warfare by John Paul Jackson. [Excerpt from Giants, Aliens, and a Total Solar Eclipse]

Chapter 9 of Revelation begins the description of the coming invasion that the world will perceive to be “aliens” but will in actuality be an attack by demonic entities.

Steven Ben DeNoon of Israeli Live did a video on Did Jesus Prophesy of an Alien Invasion?

Jeremy’s Visit to Heaven

Several years ago God sent the world a message through a 10-year-old boy named Jeremy about this coming invasion. Jeremy shared how Jesus took him way up in the air past the clouds and past many planets in space to a heavenly crystal city with streets of gold with many mansions. He saw workers for everything in heaven and many, many babies. He asked Jesus what was going to happen to his family and the Lord showed him the future. He showed him that there was going to be a WW3 but that a worse war was to come, that of the alien demon war. These evil demons will portray themselves as aliens but they are part of Satan's army that will try to destroy the entire world population. To listen to this story go to 10 Year Old Boy Dies, Goes To Heaven & tells of WW3 & Demonic Fallen Angles Invading Earth!!

It is my understanding that the Bride of Christ will not be on Earth when this occurs. In my last post I made the following comment:

The Babylon system will be judged in America, but those who purport that the entire Church needs refining and must go through The Tribulation to be purified do not make sense. Why would the Lord appoint the Church of our time to endure terrible global catastrophes and horrific demonic "alien" invasions versus the Church at any other time? What about the dead in Christ who were never "refined by The Tribulation"? The Scripture clearly indicates that the dead in Christ are part of the Bride yet not all of them will have gone through this so-called purification process (1 Thessalonians 4:16).

I am not saying the overcoming Bride will not go through any dangerous events. I am saying She is not appointed to wrath. . . (for more on this read Saved from Wrath). [Excerpt from What's Next for America? Comments Section]

Those who live a life wherein they exercise the gift of God within them are overcomers who, in many cases, have gone through refining fires of purification already! My favorite example of such a person is Henry Gruver. This Brother in Christ shares many testimonies on-line of God’s great power and love but my favorite is when Steve Quayle interviews Henry Gruver at GenSix Studios concerning the Fallen Angels Chained Beneath Streets of Rome!

This account is an example of not just one person walking in the authority of Christ, but several!

The Abyss—Demon Prison

Those who exercise this authority have the spiritual ability to bind and cast demons into the abyss as Jesus did, so why would Satan take the chance of unleashing his army knowing there were those still on Earth who could take authority over his evil host and imprison them?

We first learn of the abyss when Jesus ministered in the country of the Gadarenes:

And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in [any] house, but in the tombs. - Luke 8:27 KJV

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, [thou] Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. - Luke 8:28 KJV

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. - Luke 830-:31 KJV

The word translated deep is the Greek word abusso, which in other places in the New Testament is translated the bottomless pit . . .

Now, somewhere upon the earth there is a shaft that goes from the surface of the earth down into Hades. This shaft in the scripture is called the abusso. It is translated the bottomless pit. And this shaft is the abode and incarceration of evil spirits. The antichrist will ascend out of the abusso, the shaft. When Satan is bound during the thousand-year reign of Christ, he will be cast into this same abusso, out of which the antichrist came. In the book of Revelation we read where an angel is given the key to the abusso during in the time of God's Great Tribulation and judgment upon the earth, and he opens up the abusso, and when he does, these creatures that John graphically describes in the book of Revelation come out of the abusso and began to attack men upon the earth. These hordes of demons released, and attacking men during the Great Tribulation period. I mean, those who have made these fantasy movies haven't seen anything yet. [Excerpt from BLB Chuck Smith Commentary]

Since the overcoming church has this kind of power, why doesn’t the Book of Revelation reveal them subduing the demonic horde? This is part of my reasoning with those who do not believe at all in the harpazo or who say it happens after the time of Jacob’s Trouble.

The Apostasy = THE Departure

Additionally, I believe that the “falling away” of 2 Thessalonians 2 that occurs before the man of sin is revealed is referring to the harpazo of the Bride:

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

In 2 Thessalonians 2:1 the phrase "gathering together" is translated from the Greek word episunagogue and refers to the Great Assembly--a gathering together in one place of all believers (Hebrews 12:22-23).

The phrase "a falling away" is translated from the Greek he apostasia. It is quite enlightening to find that most of the earlier English versions translated he apostasia as 'the departure'. erfministries.com

 

In Why the ‘Rapture’ Comes First #4 of 4 by John Fenn he writes:

The Amplified Bible in its notes, and Kenneth Wuest’s NT make notes that reveal the word ‘apostia’ at their root, mean departure, falling away from view, or departure on a journey. In Bible school in 1979 I learned the original use of the word described the act of a ship leaving port and ‘falling away’ out of site over the horizon as it departed. THAT understanding of the word is consistent with the rest of the NT and grammatically here:

“That day will not come until the rapture (Jewish catching away of believers in Messiah) comes first, and then the man of sin will be revealed…and now you know what is restraining him that he may be revealed at the right time…and he who restrains him will continue to do so until he is taken out of the way, then he man of sin will be revealed.” (II Thess. 2: 3-7)

The ‘he’ who is restraining him is the body of Christ, Christ in the earth, acting as a salt or preservative that must be removed for the man of sin to be revealed. Some would suggest it is the Holy Spirit who is removed so the man of sin may be revealed. I would say it this way, it is the Holy Spirit in us and His time of ministry to us, Jews and Gentiles alike who have been part of the last 2,000 years of the age of the Gentiles, must be removed.

 

Some believe, however, that the apostasia is referring to a departure from the faith and still others think it is a rebellion upon the earth staged by satan.  What is important to realize, however, is that this Greek word does not give the definition of who or what departs, only that there is a definite departure. 

"The falling away" cannot be something negative when Paul exhorts in 2 Thessalonians 2:2 "That ye be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled..." He was comforting the Thessalonians who believed that they were already living in the time of wrath or "the day of Christ". Also, when referring to the rapture of the Church in 1 Thessalonians 4:18, he wrote, "Wherefore comfort one another with these words". How can anyone be comforted if they believe they will have to endure ANY of the 7-years of Antichrist's rule?

So "the departure" must be a separate event that happens FIRST before the revealing of the "man of sin".

Who is Raptured and When?

In my studies, I found that there are two parts to Christ’s return.

Robert Breaker, a Youtube contributor, did an hour-long video on this subject on July 10, 2015, entitled, The Two Comings of Jesus Christ. He shows how the Messiah’s first coming to earth at his birth was a two-part event and outlines His second coming as a two-part event wherein the Rapture occurs prior to His setting foot on the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4) after the Great Tribulation.

Notice I always use “overcoming church” or “Bride” or similar terms when referring to who will be raptured.

It is my belief that the Bride of Christ is represented by His rib. Just as Eve was formed from Adam’s rib, so does the Bride come from Christ’s Body. The Bride of Christ is the overcoming remnant of the Church Body who is caught up by the Bridegroom. Remember Lot's Wife

That means there will be people left on Earth who profess to be Christians but who actually are not. You don’t have to be a Henry Gruver to be raptured, but you do have to make Jesus Christ your Lord and believe God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). Instead of you being the lord over your own life you give it over to Yahshuah Ha Moshiach, Jesus. You must lose your life, so to speak, to gain eternal life (Matthew 16:25).

Now who makes it into the category of the Bride is not up to me—Jesus said: Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. - Luke 21:36 KJV

If you are sealed with the Holy Spirit, then you are worthy as explained in Who are the Tribulation Saints?

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. - Revelation 22:17 KJV
