Be Expectant

Seed of Expectancy

In 2015 when I heard the Spirit of the Lord drop into my spirit that our gathering together to meet the Lord in the air was soon upon us, and when I heard Scottie Clarke share his findings of the September 23, 2017, Revelation 12 Sign of the Woman, I believed our precious Savior would catch us up on that day. When it did not happen, I was thankful for the brethren who were there to encourage us and tell us that signs are just that—indicators of that which is to come, not necessarily that the event will occur on the day of the sign.

We have entered a time when the puzzle pieces given to all those watching for His return (1 Corinthians 13:12) are coming together giving us a clearer and clearer picture.

MAJOR CONVERGENCE SOON?

#Calm Before the Storm

On Tuesday, September 25, I watched our brother Todd of IT IS FINISHED YT Channel share Nikki Haley’s tweet of “Complete chaos tomorrow” and how it is related to the #Calm Before the Storm. He believes, as many of us do, that world war is imminent.

Although President Trump could not announce a finalized Middle East peace plan at the United Nations, he did make it known that he promotes a two-state solution; in other words, dividing the land of Israel again! This will lead to America's fall; but more importantly, are we in the time “before the decree brings forth” which foreshadows the Rapture?

Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; Before the decree bring forth, [before] the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you. - Zephaniah 2:1-2 KJV

Multiple Indicators

Many have pointed out that it took 120 years to build Noah’s ark and that the 120th Jubilee will conclude in October of this year.

I could go on and on with all the indicators—the fig tree generation will culminate in the next two years or so, the heavenly signs pointing to His coming etc. etc. Then I watched a video which I believe confirms I and many others have been on the right path.

Sea and Waves Roaring

It was James Smith’s wonderful video in which he harmonizes the Scriptures related to "The Sea and the Waves Roaring". This caught my eye because of the dreams I had received of tsunamis, but brother James shows how the waves are symbolic of the nations (Revelation 17:1 and 15) and their roaring is referring to war! (Remember also the four beasts rise out of the SEA!) He shares how Psalm 18 foretells that when “the sea and the waves” are roaring—when war begins, we will escape! This would parallel those who have been shown when the missiles come down we go up!

If our brother in Christ is understanding the Scriptures correctly (and I am hoping he is because it lines up with what I have been shown), then we will see a major convergence happening very shortly because all the players are in place:

• Fall of Babylon the Great (America’s fall)
• Destruction of Damascus
• War of Gog and Magog

Bob Barber's vision of OUR LAST DAY would add to that convergence list:

• Planet X revealed
• Demon “alien” spacecraft manifest

The exact order of these occurrences I am not sure of because I believe they will be almost simultaneous. This is only the BEGINNING of the chaos, disaster, and GREAT DECEPTION that will ensue. [Excerpt from Don't Say I Didn't Warn You!]

This all goes together with 1 Thessalonians 5:3:

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

Sudden destruction is coming upon the world—travail—which equals Jacob’s Trouble also called the Birthpangs of the Messiah. This verse may very well be referring to all the statements of “peace and security” that were heralded at the United Nations at this time when in reality war is brewing, Planet X is adversely affecting the earth, and the great deception is readied.

I have been expecting this great convergence since last year (see Don't Say I Didn't Warn You!). But do we truly have enough puzzle pieces to know the month?

  

THE LAST GREAT DAY

Must the Rapture Be on a Feast Day?

I am fully aware that the themes associated with the Feast of Trumpets parallel the Rapture of the Overcoming Church; however, to my knowledge, the Scriptures do not give a specific feast or day that Christ will catch away His Overcomers. Nor do the Scriptures teach that the rapture must occur on a feast day. God is a God of order and one who keeps His moedim or holy appointments, however, it is possible that the final feasts are to be FULFILLED IN ISRAEL where the first ones had been and not by the CALLED OUT IN CHRIST.  

My point is that the Rapture may or may not be on a feast day.

Opening of the Seals

Having said that—Todd of IT IS FINISHED and others he mentions have given compelling evidence that we may be in the very month of our deliverance (the 7^th month of the Hebrew year, that is). As I have shared before, no one knows the exact hour a child will be born but the month can be determined in most cases. Have the watchmen discovered the month?

He shares how on Hoshanah Rabbah, the 7^th day of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), the SEALS ARE OPENED (See AT LAST...THAT GREAT DAY APPROACHES! JESUS IS COMING!). Sunset on September 29 begins Hoshana Rabbah according to chabad.org.

It is also interesting that the following 8th day:
"is an independent holiday called Shemini Atzeret. In Israel, this is a one-day holiday; in the Diaspora it is a two-day holiday, and the second day is known as Simchat Torah. This holiday is characterized by utterly unbridled joy, which reaches its climax on Simchat Torah, when we celebrate the conclusion—and restart—of the annual Torah-reading cycle." chabad.org

I agree with Todd and others who have pointed out that it appears God is purposely marking feast dates that follow the calendar Israel uses such as the blood moons of 2014-2015 that fell on feast days. This could be to provoke them to jealousy (Romans 11:11 and foreshadowed by Moses as recorded in Romans 10:19).

All of this leads me to say to my brethren, “Be expectant!” That man-child is due to be born and harpazo-ed any time now!

LOOKING BUT NOT SETTING A DATE

In my Hold Fast! article I shared J. D. Farag’s Mid-East Prophecy Update October 22, 2017 wherein he tells of a significant prophetic event that points to the nearness of a world war. He explains that we are on the cusp of Isaiah 17 and that he believes it will lead to the Ezekiel 38 war.

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. - Isaiah 17:1 KJV

This may be what we should be looking for next. It has been exciting to listen or read what the other watchmen were finding even though I had already concluded that there is NO WAY to know what day our Lord Yahshua is coming! I shared how I came to this realization when I reposted The Rapture: Can the Timing Be Known?

. . . I now believe the Rapture event will be in my lifetime on a day chosen by our Heavenly Father. Just as in the ancient Hebrew wedding tradition, the Heavenly Bridegroom Jesus will come to snatch away His Bride when His Father decides that all is ready. (For more information on this go to ldolphin.org/TheNuptials and biblestudytools.com.)

Why Bother Watching?

This does not mean it is wrong to speculate about His coming, but we cannot be absolute in our findings. I’m sure that when a Hebrew bride was waiting for her groom she tried to figure out when he might come for her. The important thing is to be aware of the imminence of our Bridegroom coming.

Jesus warns the church to watch for Him or He will come as a thief:

Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. - Revelation 3:3 KJV

In contrast to this, those who seek the Lord and do watch, will know the nearness of the Rapture:

But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober. 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6 NASB

It has been my lifestyle to seek the Lord’s face and hope for His coming, but did not research to look for the time of His coming.

. . . Then about two years ago, it was as though the Spirit of the Lord turned a switch to ‘ON’ inside me and I KNEW the Rapture was critically close at hand! [excerpt from The Rapture: Can the Timing Be Known?]

This is what I believe 1 Thessalonians 5:4 is referring to when it says we who watch will not be overtaken like a thief when the day comes. Not that we know the exact day, but that we will be alert to His nearness because of the Holy Spirit putting the awareness within us! 

What DO We Look For?

In agreement with The Watchman's Watchman it is the fulfillment of an event that we are to look for--most likely the Isaiah 17 event must occur prior to the Rapture of the Church Bride.

It is my belief, along with Chuck Missler and many others, that the Overcoming Church will be raptured before the Ezekiel 38 war. As Brother J. D. Farag shared, the total destruction of Damascus will most likely be the catalyst for that war. Rapture dates we were alerted to by watchmen might have coincided with Isaiah 17 and Ezekiel 38, but so far that is not the case.   

It is my belief that the Rapture will be a rescue amid the world falling apart around us in the way of nuclear war, earth-shattering quakes, and perhaps a meteor shower. In essence, escaping By the Skin of Our Teeth!

In the meantime we must be about our Father’s business:

But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Matthew 24:43-46 KJV 

Caveat: 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.

11/11 911!?

Many of the watchmen have been shown by the Holy Spirit that a catastrophic event in the way of a great earthquake and/or tsunami will occur prior to the Rapture of the Church Bride. In addition to this, many are being shown that November 11 is significant.

The IT IS FINISHED YT Channel’s recent videos are what caught my attention--

"Phoenix Rising November 11th" - Dream Brother Jordan was posted November 5 with confirmation posted today. Brother Todd believes the watchmen are being shown that the Antichrist (represented by the Phoenix) will rise.

The Lord recently gave me a prophetic word wherein He said:

“WAR IS UPON YOU BUT THE KING OF PEACE REIGNS!”

Could it be that the ascent of the Antichrist begins November 11 due to the chaos of a major earth-shattering event? Some have been shown that the United States will experience a great earthquake and then be invaded by a foreign country. So will it be War? Earthquake? Tsunami? We are not certain for we only “see in part”.

Perhaps we will see very soon the manifestation of Bob Barber’s vision as shared in his video MY VISION! OUR LAST DAY! DRAGON ARRIVES! WE DEPART! in which he describes a series of events that include nuclear war breaking out on the day of the Rapture (previously posted on The Ark of Escape).

Whether the 11/11 warning is referring to tomorrow or to a different year, I am led to also sound the alarm!

While watching this video it came to my mind that I have seen 9:11 for many, many years, but never 11:11. Then Todd began talking about how our calendar uses “September” for the ninth month but that “sept” actually means “seven”; “octo” means “eight” and “novem” means “nine”. That means November 11 is really 9/11—EMERGENCY! Also PSALM 91:1!

Other related watchman videos (most I have already posted before):

• Earthquake then rapture. Nov 11th 2017
• Steve Cioccolanti October 01 2017 ★ 2017 EARTHQUAKE IS NEXT - AMERICA & NINEVEH PROPHETIC PARALLELS
• U.S. Prophetic WARNING - 2 Hurricanes Followed by 3 Earthquakes!!!
• Missiles come down we go up!

These reports along with the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter have me on high alert! (See also The End? and The Morning Star Rises!) It may be there is a catastrophic event to wake people up to the lateness of the hour so that they call on the Lord and are saved from the wrath that is to come.

Let us PRAY, WATCH, and REMEMBER His promise to be our total sufficiency in ALL things at all times!

And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work: - 2 Corinthians 9:8 KJV

Caveat: 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.

THE COMING CONVERGENCE--PROOF FOR UNBELIEVERS OF THE COMING TRIBULATION

With the coming of our Lord right around the corner what must we be doing? We need to be reaching anyone in the world who has an ear to hear that WE ARE LIVING IN THE LAST GENERATION. But how do we reach those who are tired of hearing the Christian world 'cry wolf' for decades now?

“We’ve Always had Wars and Earthquakes”

Jesus Himself warned of a convergence of events that would come upon the world.

Many say, “Well, we’ve always had wars and disasters”, but if you read Jesus’ words carefully you will see He spoke of GLOBAL wars, GLOBAL disasters, and not only that but HAPPENING COLLECTIVELY! That has never occurred in the history of man.

There is overwhelming scientific and statistical evidence for the converging of events and signs leading to the start of the period of time called Jacob’s Trouble or The Tribulation. Brent Miller, Jr., along with his father Brent Miller, Sr., have produced a film documenting this information that comes across very personally and emotionally entitled, The Coming Convergence. A trailer for the movie is included in the video Brent Miller Jr. The Coming Convergence-Prophecy Watchers Channel at the 9:30 minute mark.

Internet=Tower of Babel

The movie gives solid evidence of how the internet, our modern-day Tower of Babel, has already created a Global Economy and a Global Government.

This is due to the fact that the United States gave up its control of the internet during Obama’s administration supposedly in the name of PEACE AND SAFETY (See washingtontimes.com). Brent Miller, Sr. speaks of this in The Coming Convergence Pt 2 Prophecy Watchers Channel.

Very soon a Global Religion will form as the Spirit of the Lord showed me recently in a brief vision (3 Snakes and 7 Mountains).

“What About the September 23 Alignment?”

Brent Miller’s movie shows how statistically there are certain prophetic events happening that are leading to the Tribulation that are far more believable than the Great Sign of September 23. But that is exactly what makes the sign so intriguing.

Many, including myself, wonder whether the celestial alignment to occur later this year on September 23 involving Virgo is the sign for the Rapture. What we know for certain is that it is unique. The event appears to be similar to the sign involving the Star of Bethlehem at Christ’s first coming yet it is different and will never occur again according to Scott Clarke's 3 Epic Heavenly Signs video that includes his research using Stellarium.

The retrograde movement of Jupiter within the constellation Virgo that is happening as I write this occurs every 12 years or so. HOWEVER, coupled with the celestial convergence on September 23, it may well be the Revelation 12 sign:

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. - Revelation 12:1-2 KJV

Jesus referred to the last days being ‘the beginning of sorrows’ in Matthew 24:8.

All these are the beginning of sorrows: Though none of those events are the specific sign of the end of the age, collectively they are a sign. When Jesus described these calamities as the beginning of sorrows He literally called them the beginning of labor pains. Just as is true with labor pains, we should expect that the things mentioned - wars, famines, earthquakes, and so on - would become more frequent and more intense before the return of Jesus - without any one of them being the specific sign of the end. BLB David Guzik Commentary

Interestingly enough, there are many scriptures comparing a certain period of time to a woman in labor. Scott Clarke addresses these in his video Something Epic This Way Comes-Stunning Scriptures REVEALED!

Can We Know the Day and Hour?

Many believe that the Rapture most likely occurs on the Feast of Trumpets. The key is that when Paul described the Rapture, it was to occur “at the last trump” (1 Corinthians 15:52).  Jewish understanding of this term of the day, along with the themes ascribed to the Feast of Trumpets, all point to the Rapture occurring on the Feast of Trumpets… 2017 The Final Jubilee?

Brent Miller, Jr. speaks of this in his interview on April 17, 2017 with Prophecy in the News Part 2 of The Coming Convergence.

Live with Eternity in Mind

So much points to the possibility that the Rapture will occur in 2017 but even more points to the converging of events for the coming Tribulation. What I can say with certainty is that TIME IS SHORT. We must have a heart and mind set to reach as many souls for Christ as possible.

Our Heavenly Father gave us this life in a physical world to prepare us to choose how we serve Him in Eternity. How we manifest His love on the earthly plane will affect how we minister during The Millennial Reign and beyond!
