Hope Holdup

Those who are diligently watching for the return of the Lord Jesus, our Heavenly Bridegroom, to catch away His Bride are asking, “What is the holdup?”

 

This weekend when I was feeling oh, so homesick for Heaven--so pining to be with my Beloved Jesus in person--the Lord began working on enlightening my understanding as to why the Rapture seemingly had been postponed. First, came the surety of His promise:

 

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive[paralambanō] you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. - John 14:1-3 KJV

 

Paralambano means “to take to, to take with one's self, to join to one's self an associate, a companion”; “to receive near, i.e. associate with oneself (in any familiar or intimate act or relation)”.

 

How we who watch for Him long for this!

 

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love[agapaō ] his appearing[epiphaneia] . - 2 Timothy 4:8 KJV

 

The word appearing is translated from the Greek word epiphaneia which is “a manifestation, i.e. (specially) the advent of Christ (past or future):—appearing, brightness”. We love HIS PRESENCE!  What I found so very interesting is that epiphaneia refers to His “illustrious return from heaven to earth hereafter to occur--in an advent to help”! Epiphaneia is used by the Greeks “in 2 Macc. of signal deeds and events betokening the presence and power of God as helper”.

 

So, fighting with their hands and praying to God in their hearts, they laid low at least 35,000, and were greatly gladdened by God’s manifestation [epiphaneia]’ (2 Maccabees 15:22–7). Once again, we do not know exactly what happened; but God made a great and saving appearance for his people. To the Jews, epiphaneia denoted a rescuing intervention of God. icgchurches.org

 

In Christ’s two-part coming, He helps His people first by rescuing His Bride with the harpazo (1 Thessalonians 4:17) and then rescuing Israel by His return to the land (Revelation 19:11ff).

 

The word love in 2 Timothy 4:8 is translated from agapaō which means when pertaining to a person “to welcome, to entertain, to be fond of, to love dearly”. Blue Letter Bible suggests looking at the primitive root--עֲגַב ʻăgab, aw-gab'; to breathe after, i.e. to love (sensually):—dote, lover. Our love for the Lord is not of the flesh, of course, but of the Spirit.

 

In my heart I believe our watch for our Heavenly Bridegroom is an act of worship. As I type this article, it is an act of worship. We live for and “breathe after” Him. We long for Him.

 

Brethren, including myself, have shared that the Lord confirmed to them the Rapture would occur in 2021. Also, that Jesus would come for us when the Covid vaccine was enforced. As severe as the lockdowns are in some nations, such as Australia, unvaccinated people are still managing to survive as they challenge the “mandatory” aspect of the vaccine.

 

Yet why has He not come for us?

 

You see, God has a big climactic ending in store--He’s got unfinished business to take care of.

 

God’s ‘To Do List’

 

Near the top of God’s ‘To Do List’ is confronting Baal. This realization came to me when a friend sent me a video featuring Robin D. Bullock which brought back to my memory The Moses Pattern.

 

In November 2020 I posted Stunning Heavenly Signs and Patterns for the Rapture wherein I shared The Moses Pattern we are in and introduced Robin D. Bullock--

 

Robin went on to say that Habakkuk 3 tells that the children of Israel stopped complaining and started praising at the Red Sea while Moses held the rod up. As their praises went up the glory filled the Heavens and God met the Israelites as He came across the Red Sea right past the high place of Baal-Zephon--the last of the false gods of Egypt to be defeated!

 

If we are indeed following The Moses Pattern, it is possible God is wanting to deal with Baal-Zephon, the god of child sacrifice, before we cross over our Red Sea! I am referring to the possibility that God is working to overturn Roe v. Wade before the Rapture.

I do not follow politics but will watch particular issues like laws pertaining to abortion. In the 16-minute Robin Bullock video I will share with you, I learned of a significant anti-abortion event: 

After a prayer rally outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington Oct. 4, Students for Life of America and the Justice Foundation released the “Moral Outcry Petition,” a call for the court to overturn its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion nationwide. Over half a million Americans signed the petition, which was two massive scrolls filled with the signatures. . .

 

On Dec. 1, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the Dobbs case, which is an appeal from Mississippi to keep its ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Supporters of the law are urging the court to reexamine its previous abortion rulings, including Roe v. Wade.

If the court overturns Roe, the move would not make abortion illegal throughout the U.S., but would return the issue to the states to be decided. cruxnow.com

 

Leading up to the rally at the Supreme Court--back in May 2021--Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law one of the nation’s strictest abortion measures, banning procedure as early as six weeks into a pregnancy which took effect in September 2021. This has led to a testing process in court after court. On October 8, 2021, npr.org posted an update. Following is an excerpt:

 

Abortion providers have said they are hoping they get more permanent relief from the U.S. Supreme Court.

 

The nation's highest court was asked to intervene when the law was first going into effect, but justices declined. Since the law has been in effect, abortion providers have petitioned the court, again. So far, the court has not responded. . .

 

"If clinics close because SB 8 is enforced long enough," Hagstrom Miller said, "the damage will be done, even if it's eventually struck down."

 

   

In an interview by Flashpoint on The Victory Channel posted October 7, 2021, Robin Bullock shared the interaction he had with the Lord leading up to the October 4 prayer rally at the Supreme Court in Washington, DC, and the prophetic acts the Lord had him perform on that day. He was shown that God considered Roe v. Wade the Red Sea issue.

 

“The last fight before the Red Sea closes will be over the unborn--

the showdown with Baal. . .

In 2020 I said over and over

there’s coming a Red Sea time and an Elijah moment.

They must come together at some point.

October 4th was that point.”

Robin D. Bullock

 

To many of us watching for the appearing of the Lord, the menace of the Covid vaccine is the Red Sea issue that God must deliver us from, yet it appears that to the Lord God Almighty, first Baal must be dealt with! Baal, being the god of child sacrifice, must be confronted so that the Revelation 12 Man Child can be safely delivered. This parallels The Moses Pattern:

 

The crossing of the Red Sea was both a victory for God AND a supernatural event. If what Robin D. Bullock shared is true that God wishes to deal with Baal now at the closing of the Age of Grace, then it may be the VICTORY God wishes to claim will be simultaneous with the SUPERNATURAL EVENT of the Resurrection and Rapture of the True Church! [From Stunning Heavenly Signs and Patterns for the Rapture]

Revival Victory then Rest!

Another item on God’s ‘To Do List’ is Revival. It is my belief that the Devil has been illegally prepping individuals for the mark of the beast by way of this demonic vaccine, BUT the Lord Jesus Christ is not going to let him get away with it. In April 2020 I wrote:

 

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!

 

It is possible that I have been expecting another catastrophic event to lead to revival when in reality the Covid plandemic is the catalyst! Charisma Magazine has been posting several articles on revival breaking out in America. Their October issue features 'Let Us Worship' Leader Sean Feucht Who Says 'Revival Is Here'.

 

. . .The Scriptures teach that Christians today are involved in a spiritual war while they live out their lives in this present age in this present world. When the Rapture takes place and the trumpet is blown at that time, that will be a signal to them that their part in the warfare is over; their fighting in this present age is done in this spiritual war. It is time for them to go home to be with the Lord and rest together with Him in Heaven. jashow.org

 

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! The Bride's Revival and The Rapture

 

I appreciate and agree with what our Brother Chooch at TOL End Times YTC said yesterday that the Rapture does not have to occur on a feast day. Perhaps the Father will choose the most unlikely day of all to send His Son Jesus to snatch away His Bride. Will it be around Halloween as so many of the Brethren have seen in dreams? Whenever He comes for us, it cannot be very long from now.

 

Until then, I will continue to seek His face--

 

One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. - Psalm 27:4-5 KJV

 

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. - Psalm 27:14 KJV

October Rapture Tsunami? URGENT UPDATE!

 

October 28, 2021, URGENT UPDATE BELOW!!!

(Original article posted October 2, 2021)

There seems to be a converging of prophetic dreams and visions pointing to an October 2021 Rapture of Those in Christ.

 

“At the time of the Coronal Mass Ejections coming will be when the Corona Mass Injections will be pushed, shoved, and jobs threatened . . .” Holly 2 Moons said while sharing a recent play on words she heard from the Lord.

 

We appear to be in the time of significant CMEs causing earthquake and volcanic activity.

 

Earlier today Israeli News Live posted Pentagon Scientist Very Concerned Over Canary Islands writing in the Description Box: “. . .The latest volcanic explosion on La Palma is what they anticipate to continue to happen and split the southern section of the island that would cause a major landslide and produce [a] huge Tsunami.”

 

A La Palma-related mega-tsunami has been downplayed for the most part but even before I saw the latest from Israeli News Live my spiritual antennae have been beeping WARNING! WARNING!

2 Moon Rapture

There seems to be a connection to the Rapture with the world witnessing two moon-like objects and a Canary Island landslide.

 

In March 2019 Holly reshares her 2 MOON/SUPERMOON DREAM that she originally had in May 2018 and says it seems the Lord is showing many of His people that the Rapture is going to occur at the time when we see two moons. She wrote this in the Description Box: “. . . In this dream I saw NYC in the distance as they celebrated some festivities with unseasonal halloween decor. I needed to catch a sighting of the moon so I climbed to the highest point to get a view of the horizon. I was shocked to see not one but TWO moons. The second one was faint, dim, and dull. The other was a massive orange supermoon very low on the horizon.”

 

On September 23, 2017, Holly posted a video The Nephilim come in October sharing that her original video on this subject was missing. If the Rapture occurs this month the Nephilim and fallen angels will certainly be coming!

 

What drew my attention to Holly’s channel was a Comment left by Sarah Mia at another Youtube Channel--Robin - Figtree generation:

Sarah Mia -- 

 @Robin - Figtree generation  absolutely, you're welcome! Your dream was just another confirmation to me as well. I have been following a youtuber for over a year called Holly 2 Moons. Her dreams mainly are centered around seeing 2 moons the time of the rapture. She has even drawn the moons that she has seen. They look exactly like what was videoed in Jeffrey McGaha's latest. I believe all the pieces of this puzzle are coming into view more and more with each passing day, we are so close to going home!

 

The Jeffrey McGaha video Sarah is referring to is Prelude to the Storm where Jeffrey shares footage of two moon-like objects seen by millions! Earlier in the video is footage from early in the morning of September 24 of strange flying debris Jeffrey believes is a prelude to the coming catastrophic debris of the Dragon’s (Planet X/Nibiru) tail.

As pointed out by our Brother in Christ from END TIMES: DARKNESS DESCENDING (see Comment below), the clip Jeffrey McGaha used appears to be projections coming from Dubai of Phobos and Deimos (the two moons of Mars) using realistic sky mapping technology. Space.com featured an article on this February 9, 2021. The two Mars moons projected from Dubai in February 2021 was a one-time occurrence; whereas, the moons or planets from the Dragon/Planet X System have been sighted many other times from many individuals.

 

As Robin mentioned in her Volcano and Planet Dream video, the volcano activity and the two moons or planets are at the very least major time markers pointing to the coming of Christ for His Bride.

Canary Island Tsunami

I have had several dreams wherein I am warning people of a coming tsunami and have shared them here at my blogsite. Only in one dream did the great wave come as far as my house (we live just East of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Mid-Atlantic Region), yet I was never afraid in these dreams. Bob Barber (End Time Dream and Vision YTC) in his October 16, 2019, video stated that in the collective of tsunami dreams/visions he has gathered, the Rapture occurred at the time a great wave hit!

In 2012 Bill Larkin shared a vision where the Lord showed him devastation affecting the coastlines of America. He knew the devastation was caused by a series of events but the only event he witnessed in the vision was a tsunami caused by a landslide in the Canary Islands. He states that he was not shown what YEAR this tsunami would come but that it would happen between August 20-31. Although I am warning about a possible October 2021 tsunami, I thought I should include Bill Larkin’s vision.

 

More recently on September 30, 2021, Melissa at Midnight Hour Oil shared a very detailed dream of a tsunami coming to New York City: WARNING DREAM: Tsunami/NY City & More. In her dream Melissa told a doctor that a tsunami was coming to NYC because a powerful Coronal Mass Ejection had occurred causing the break in the La Palma Island leading to a landslide that would produce a tsunami that would affect the East Coast of America. In the dream she knew the CMEs were caused by the arrival of the Planet X Dragon system!

 

Is this prophesied La Palma-related tsunami the “Rapture Tsunami”? Of this I am uncertain, but there is an urgency in my spirit. So please PRAY about this and SHARE as the Spirit of the Lord leads you!

The TSUNAMI situation is getting VERY, VERY INTERESTING because Steven Ben Nun at Israeli News Live shared on October 11, 2021, insider info that America's coastlines could be getting hit with tsunamis perhaps around NOVEMBER due to ASTEROIDS hitting in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans! Beginning at the 7-minute mark and thereafter in his Asteroid Update Steven tells of two large asteroids they're worried about--one is to hit the Cascadia Subduction Zone on the West Coast and the other is to hit near Puerto Rico sending tidal waves to the East Coast:

In the 'Asteroid to cause tsunami?' section of my article The Sceptre Star and the Revelation 12 Birth of the Man Child I shared Efrain Rodriguez's prophecy re. an asteroid hitting the Atlantic near Puerto Rico and causing a tsunami. He said it would happen prior to the Rapture and I was wondering if it would be the Rapture Tsunami. Steven Ben Nun seemed to think a tidal wave from this incident would not be that large. Whether it will be an asteroid tsunami or the La Palma/Canary Island landslide tsunami that will be the Rapture Tsunami, it seems we are on the precipice of the catching away of the True Church. 

October 28, 2021, URGENT UPDATE!!

Today I came across what appears to be a Christian site called eyeopeningtruth.com which has been giving updated news on the La Palma Island situation by watching the Spanish News on Malaga 24h, a Youtube Channel. Here is an excerpt from today's afternoon update:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: 10/28/2021 1:06:38 PM  Authorities Warn of LARGE EARTHQUAKE!! The island of La Palma has risen more than 16 centimeters in the last 24 hours! Landslides, STEAM ALONG the Faultline, MAG 6 EQ expected in the next few hours.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Canary Island of La Palma has been erupting for over a month now, a politician from a nearby island has suggested bombing it to divert the rivers of lava.

The politician's idea may seem crazy, but it has been tried before. . . While the Cumbre Vieja eruption entered its sixth week, the talk of using military aircraft to bomb lava flows and redirect them seems like a last-ditch effort as other attempts to manage the flows on the ground have been unsuccessful. zerohedge.com

This, of course, could result in a dreadful tsunami if the missiles hit the wrong section of the island. What is even crazier is there is predictive programming of such a scenario coming to pass. I am referring especially to a 2009 video game called Secret Files 2 about which Tyler of the Generation2434 Youtube Channel posted a video on October 23. For a more in-depth video on this, check out LogicBeforeAuthority’s 19-minute video titled La Palma Predictive Programming For A Tsunami.

 

The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. - Proverbs 16:4 KJV

October 24, 2021, URGENT UPDATE!

 

A Brother in Christ recently posted a video link at Revelation12daily, a blogsite I frequent, giving an urgent update related to the La Palma Island situation (thank you so much Bob D). The video included information taken from the following article:

 

The volcanic eruption which began on the Island of LaPalma in the Canary Islands, Atlantic Ocean, off the northwest coast of Africa seems to be getting some help: artificial help to make it WORSE!  Evidence below:

 

When the Cumbre Viejo volcano on La Palma began erupting on September 10, it immediately became the focus of intense attention because that island is the only place in the world which can generate a Tsunami wave, which is capable of literally destroying the entire east coast of North America. [Excerpt from halturnerradioshow.com]

 

This corroborates what Steven Ben Nun of Israeli News Live reported in his October 4 video La Palma Risk Asessment wherein he shared that insiders told him what was happening at La Palma Island was “not naturally occurring”!

 

It is looking more and more evident that we will be seeing some type of great wave heading towards America’s eastern coast and SOON! This reminded me of my Dropping of HIS Shoe 2 Visions because this tsunami apparently will be manmade using advanced technology.

 

Perry Stone in his America-The Coming Earthquake and Tsunami video at the 9:50 minute mark explains one of his many tsunami dreams and says, “I was looking out this window. . . I saw a wave. It was not the 100-foot wave that I’ve seen in the past nor was it even 50 feet; but it was a wave nonetheless, and I heard somebody yell, ‘TSUNAMI! TSUNAMI!’ And this wave was coming in after an earthquake.”

 

In the above dream Perry seems to be describing the type of wave the La Palma Volcano would cause (estimated to be a possible 150 feet OR LESS); BUT many other Brethren have been shown much larger waves. For example, Efrain Rodriguez, a pastor in Puerto Rico, was shown a 1,000-foot tsunami that would form as a result of an ASTEROID strike.

 

Even if a smaller wave hits the U.S. east coast, it will still be devastating. Here’s the thing. Tsunamis of different size and on both coasts of America have been prophesied. One of them is what I refer to as the Rapture Tsunami. A La Palma landslide-generated tsunami may or may not be the Rapture Tsunami.

 

Why I say that is because of what I added to this article on October 12:

 

Steven Ben Nun at Israeli News Live shared on October 11, 2021, insider info that America's coastlines could be getting hit with tsunamis perhaps around NOVEMBER due to ASTEROIDS hitting in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans! Beginning at the 7-minute mark and thereafter in his Asteroid Update Steven tells of two large asteroids they're worried about--one is to hit the Cascadia Subduction Zone on the West Coast and the other is to hit near Puerto Rico sending tidal waves to the East Coast. . .

 

There is a possibility of tsunamis heading towards the United States caused by a LANDSLIDE OR ASTEROIDS! My desire is that whenever America gets hit with a great wave we will be gathered unto the Lord. HOWEVER, if a MANMADE tsunami hits the U.S. it is possible the Rapture might not yet occur but instead a GREAT AWAKENING ensues with the Rapture then quickly following afterwards for it will NOT yet be God’s wrath until ASTEROIDS begin to fall to earth (see “The Great Exchange” section in my article The Revelation 12 Galactic Federation, The Great Re:Set, and The Rapture). The earth has seen much devastation in different regions since the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad and we may witness yet more, but He has promised to save us from wrath--PRAISE HIS NAME!

 

Brethren, let us be ready in season and out. It is certain He is coming for His Bride. May He find Her diligently working in the Field.   

October Rapture Tsunami article updated 10/29/21.

SAM & THE 7 VOLCANIC MOUNTAINS

September 23 was the 4^th Anniversary of the Revelation 12:1-2 Sign and many who love our Lord’s appearing watched with hopeful hearts as volcanoes seemed to signal an imminent Rapture earthquake. 

The GREAT EXCHANGE did not occur yet when asteroids or a comet cause a mega-tsunami, nuclear missiles drop and fallen angels posing as “aliens” come down in UFOs and the True Church rises to meet the Lord in the air. Earth has not yet passed through the “tail of the Revelation 12 Dragon”-- the asteroid debris field of Planet X--however, we are witnessing the effects of the nearness of this system especially in the increase of earthquake and volcanic activity! (The Final Days Youtube Channel offers some of the best current visual evidence of The Great Red Dragon, or Planet X or Nibiru or whatever you want to call it. [Warning: Although she preaches Romans 10:9, she believes salvation is by works. The Scriptures teach, however, that we are saved by grace only!]

Last night In2ThinAir Youtube Channel reported on the incoming ominous hurricane Sam, the 9.5 ‘fake quake’ in Argentina and Marfoogle News reported on 26 VOLCANOES ERUPTING WORLDWIDE.

Samson and Delilah

Temple of Dagon scene

Hurricane Sam/son

While listening to In2ThinAir’s video as he described hurricane Sam, my prophetic mind went immediately to the story of Samson, a judge of Israel, who God strengthened that he was able to topple the pillars where the Philistines mocked Samson and His God as they celebrated their god Dagon:

 

Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand. Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines [were] there; and [there were] upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport. - Judges 16:23, 27 KJV

 

And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes. And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with [all his] might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that [were] therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than [they] which he slew in his life. - Judges 16:28, 30 KJV

 

It was only this morning that I understood why the Spirit of the Lord led me on that path as I learned from Tim Henderson that the Democrats introduced a bill to further the two state solution and a Palestine capital in East Jerusalem. “Palestinian” derives from the Philistines!

 

The proposed legislation, introduced by Congressman Andy Levin on Thursday, would make it US policy to clearly distinguish between Israel and the Palestinian territory that it occupies, including East Jerusalem . . .

The bill introduced on Thursday, dubbed the Two-State Solution Act, says the establishment of Israeli settlements is “inconsistent with international law”; it also calls for “an end to Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories”. aljazeera.com/news/2021/9/23

 

This beloved pastor is right to alert us to intercede because Judgment MAY be coming to America!! as a result of this action against Israel and Jerusalem in particular. It is NO COINCIDENCE that a major hurricane by the name of Sam is headed towards the East Coast of America and an Alaskan volcano is on red alert!

 

7 Volcanic Mountains

 

While a strong eruption is currently hitting La Palma in the Canary Islands, a red alert warning has been issued by scientists stating that a “major eruption” is imminent at an Alaskan volcano. . .

 

Seismic observations represent an increase in eruptive activity at the site of the volcano. Scientists have upgraded the Aviation Color Code and Volcano Alert level to a red warning. The volcano is called Semisopochnoi. strangesounds.org/2021/09

 

As I was reading about this volcano stirring in our nation, it came to me to look up what its name meant.

 

Semisopochnoi is the “Island of the Seven Mountains,” or more precisely in Russian: “having seven hills.” This uninhabited volcanic island is also an important nesting area for maritime birds of the North Pacific.

 

Situated on the far end of the Aleutians, Semisopochnoi Island is simultaneously the most easterly and westerly point of the United States of America. Roughly 1,275 miles (2,050 kilometers) west-southwest of Anchorage, Alaska, Semisopochnoi lies near the 180-degree line of longitude, in the Rat Islands group in the western Aleutian Islands.

 

The seven hills of the island are volcanic peaks, each with a summit crater, including Cerberus, Sugarloaf Peak, Lakeshore Cone, Anvil Peak, Pochnoi, Ragged Top, and Three-quarter Cone. [Excerpt from earthobservatory.nasa.gov]

 

It is my belief that God is signaling to His people that He is about to blow up The Seven Mountains of man’s influence in the earth. If I understood and relayed correctly the two visions the Lord gave me, it may begin with a transitional Spiritual Awakening that will culminate in the Resurrection and Rapture of Those in Christ. The total destruction of the Seven Mountains will then be completed during the 70^th Week of Daniel, the seven-year Tribulation.

 

Revelation 17, where the second half of the Tribulation or “Great Tribulation” begins with the seven vials (or bowls) of wrath to be poured out, is where we see the Seven Mountains mentioned in the Scriptures:

 

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. - Revelation 17:3, 5-7 KJV

And here [is] the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. - Revelation 17:9 KJV

 

Both Commentaries by Matthew Henry and A. F. Fausset conclude that the “seven mountains are the seven hills on which Rome stands”--

 

The whore is the apostate Church. . .The woman sitting on the seven hills implies the Old and New Testament Church conforming to, and resting on, the world power, that is, on all the seven world kingdoms. Commentary by A. R. FAUSSET

 

An excerpt from A Woman Rides the Beast by Dave Hunt (p. 67, emphases mine) reads--“Only one city has for more than 2000 years been known as the city on seven hills. That city is Rome. The Catholic Encyclopedia states: ‘It is within the city of Rome, called the city of seven hills, that the entire area of Vatican State proper is now confined.’”

 

The whore is the apostate Church!!

 

My mind immediately went to what I learned about The Seven Mountains Mandate when I wrote 3 SNAKES and 7 MOUNTAINS in 2017. Here’s an excerpt:

 

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. John 18:36 KJV

As far as I understand, it is God's people who will rule alongside of His Son Y'shua, our Jesus, but not until the Millennial Age (Revelation 5:10; 20:6). So I looked into this 7 mountain mandate. It was founded by Bill Bright and Loren Cunningham [7 Mountains Mandate GI] and is being promulgated by the NAR (New Apostolic Reformation). . .

The NAR has had association with the Vatican and met with the Pope on June 10, 2016.

 

As I related in the above article, I am genuinely concerned about these men and women because I believe many of them are truly born again of God’s Spirit but have fallen into the deception of Satan’s end time plan for a One World Religion.

 

This end times “take dominion over the earth” is taught by a large group all over the world, namely the NAR, and you have heard it referred to as dominion theology or kingdom now theology…

Why would God instruct anyone to take over these spheres or mountains and build a kingdom here on earth when Jesus stated His kingdom was not of this world? Why would He give messages to build and take over society that He intends on destroying at the end of time?  [Taken from mkayla.wordpress.com]

Jesus did instruct us to be “salt” and “light” and to go into all the world and to influence the culture but not be influenced by the culture. Here is part of an article written by Johnny Enlow that further describes this “mandate”:

 

We are often waiting for Jesus to return, but creation itself knows the correct narrative. The sons and daughters of the King must rise and "reverse the curse" BEFORE He returns. Acts 3:21, "Jesus is held in the heavens until the restoration of all things spoken of by His servants the prophets." elijahlist.com

 

Mr. Enlow’s belief that Those in Christ need to take over the seven mountains of society before Christ comes back is a misunderstanding of Acts 3:21:

 

And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. - Acts 3:20-21 KJV

 

Both David Brown and Matthew Henry state that Acts 3:21 refers to “embracing the whole period between the ascension and the second advent of Christ” and that it is probable the “restitution of all things refers to the ‘rectification of all the disorders of the fall’”--

 

The presence of the Lord will introduce,

[1.] The restitution of all things (v. 21); the new heavens, and the new earth, which will be the product of the dissolution of all things (Rev. 21:1), the renovation of the whole creation. . . Some understand this of a state on this side the end of time; but it is rather to be understood of that end of all things which God hath spoken of by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began; for this is that which Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of (Jude 14). . .

Face to Face

Is it part of God’s plan to allow a large earthquake in America and then a worldwide plague of darkness as shared by Rivkah Ministries and The Call of the Bride ministry? (See The Horror of Darkness and The Everlasting Covenant.) Could the 3 days of darkness that have been prophesied represent our coming face to face with the Dragon as foretold in Revelation 12:4? 

At the beginning of the year, I shared this:

What more will we see in the way of prophetic birth pains, though, before the Father sends His Son to collect His Bride? As I was seeking the Lord about this, it came into my spirit that this time of SHAKING we are in will increase where we will witness the continued swell in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions as well as erratic weather patterns. . .

Recently I came across a Comment posted on one of my previous articles where a Brother in Christ, Miguel P, shared how his brother (who receives accurate prophetic dreams) had a dream of Mount Vesuvius erupting just before the Rapture occurred! Then this week, Miguel shared that his brother has been having additional dreams related to this.  MORE SHAKING? I’LL BE THERE!

 

In that article I shared the news of Mt. Etna’s eruptions being on the rise. This is GOOD NEWS as related to Vesuvius and the Rapture. According to geology.com, “Vesuvius is part of the Campanian volcanic arc. . . This subduction zone stretches the length of the Italian peninsula, and is also the source of other volcanoes like Mount Etna, the Phlegraean Fields (Campi Flegrei), Vulcano, and Stromboli.”

 

Stromboli was one of the recent 26 eruptions reported by Marfoogle News.

More information has come out related to the imminent Alaskan volcano eruption:

 

New studies indicate that volcanic catastrophes of a far lower scale could still unleash enough havoc to endanger the modern civilization. 

According to the Global risk researcher Lara Mani, a smaller-scale eruption can cause enough ash or sufficient earthquakes in one of the places to pinpoint and interrupt networks, which are also the key to global supply chains and financial systems. natureworldnews.com

 

It is evident that the earth is “travailing (synōdinō) in pain” as Romans 8:22 says. Once we, the Bride of Christ, are born into heaven--raptured--however, the world will convulse in active labor:

 

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail (ōdin) upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. - 1 Thessalonians 5:3 KJV

Beloved Youtube pastor Tim Henderson frequently says, "An awakening can happen in an hour". Will we see a brief Awakening just prior to the Rapture? Whether I understood and related The dropping of HIS shoe visions accurately we will see. It would be in our God’s nature to mercifully awaken the apostate Church clinging onto those 7 mountains in the waning hour of the Church Age of Grace before the “sudden destruction” of the Dragon’s tail!  

 

Should that time come JUST CALL HIS NAME AND HE WILL BE THERE!

Update 9/27/21--

Just today a friend sent me this prophetic word through Sandi Holman which might be a confirmation to what I shared in the above article. Here's an excerpt of The Moment of Truth: 

As I quietly waited before The LORD tonight as I was going to bed early for a change, I heard The LORD speak to me to continue to speak and declare Truth that will break the repetitious cycles of control and witchcraft.

He plainly said,

“Just like Paul had a Damascus road experience, many will be stopped in their tracks with a sudden MOMENT OF TRUTH that will bring the ‘Mask’querade to an end.

I have spoken in My Word, that many in the last days would go astray.  In the book of 1 Timothy, Paul warned of the great falling away,” says The LORD, “but I AM come today to release Moments of Truth and I AM calling My Prayer Warriors to tear down the walls of deception as they sit with Me and let Me do the talking and giving new prayer strategy,” says The Father.

“The BIG cover up is about to be replaced with the BIG reveal.  The change that has been spoken by many of My Prophets will definitely be carried out — and it will affect all and in many different ways.”

Some refer to this as an AWAKENING — or a wake-up call — but what The LORD is showing me today is truly up-front and very personal, and goes deeper than just waking up. . .

7 Churches 7 Seals--Is the Church Present at the Opening of the Seals?

As the hour of our Redemption draws oh so near, fellow watchmen have been discussing, “Where are we on God’s timeline?” and more specifically, “Have the Seals of Revelation been opened yet?”

 

Whether Those in Christ are in Heaven at the opening of the Seals in Revelation Chapter 6 or not is a delineating factor as to when the Rapture occurs. Fortunately, I came across a well-written article by loudcryofthethirdangel.com containing NEW information to help answer the question of whether the Seals have been opened yet or not. So I will be quoting many excerpts herein!

 

To understand the Seals one needs to understand their legal significance. And to understand that we need to go back to Chapter 5.

Chapter 5 of the Book of Revelation opens in the throne room where Almighty God the Father is seated:

 

And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. - Revelation 5:1 KJV

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? - Revelation 5:2 KJV

 

Similar to the high-level Roman practice for legal documents, the scroll the Father is holding contains text written on the outside and inside:  

 

The scroll in God’s right hand is unusual because there is writing on both sides. Normally, the uneven texture of animal skins and papyrus makes writing on both sides difficult. Reading a two-sided scroll is challenging as well. Yet John sees writing on the “inside and on the back” (v. 1). The doubly inscribed scroll resembles a Roman will or contract deed, with the details inside and a summary on the outside, then sealed with seven seals. oncedelivered.net

What was the scroll that John saw?

 

. . . John saw the land inheritance, the title deed of the land which was sold by Adam through sin. To find none worthy was to mean that none should receive the inheritance; none should be a redeemer of the earth; and therefore, none should raise up the name of the dead, the name of Adam. It is understandable that John should wail with an agonizing cry.

 

. . . “And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.” (Revelation 5:5-6) loudcryofthethirdangel.com

 

Notice the Hebraic references here--“Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David”. We can see the transference from the Church Age of Grace into the Time of Jacob’s Trouble ( “Jacob” is a reference to natural born Jews).

 

That Christ is called the Lion of the tribe of Judah is a reference to the blessing of the kingly sceptre, and the right to the throne of David. That He is seen as a lamb as it had been slain testifies to the redemption price to raise up the name of Adam, and pay the price of the earth.

 

“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:” (1 Peter 1:18-19)

 

“And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb…And they sang a new song . . . loudcryofthethirdangel.com

 

But is the Church in Heaven at this time?

7 Seals 7 Witnesses

 

From ancient times until now most legal documents require witnesses.

 

Historian Henry James Summer Maine, in his 1861 book “Ancient Law” wrote the following regarding the will and inheritance in Roman law:

“…the Testament…was invalid unless sealed by seven witnesses. . .

 

If the testament was not sealed by seven witnesses according to Roman law, the testament was legally made void. If seven witnesses could not testify to the will of the deceased, the will would be considered invalid. . .

 

“And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.” (Hebrews 9:15-17)

 

In the testament, the death of the one who gave the testament is necessary to receive the promise of inheritance. Likewise, it was necessary that Christ should die, and to rise as a new man, that He might receive the inheritance that is promised to the firstborn sons in Israel. He is “the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” The right of the firstborn was to receive the father’s estate, a “double portion of all that he hath” (Deut. 21:17).

 

Yet to this will required seven witnesses according to Roman law. If the witnesses were not present, the will was considered ineffective. . . loudcryofthethirdangel.com

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. - Revelation 5:6 KJV

 

7 Witnesses 7 Churches

 

There is a reason Jesus addresses seven churches or ekklesia in Revelation 2 and 3, for they are the seven witnesses:

 

The scroll is the title deed of the earth, redeemed by the blood of the Son of God. Yet there must be also witnesses to this purchase. When the Lamb appeared in heaven, as it was having been slain, a great mystery revealing the witnesses is given. The Lamb is depicted having “seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.”

 

. . . The eyes of the Lord are the seven spirits of God which are in Christ to keep His work straight for the building of the temple of God. In the same vision of John, where he sees the Lamb with seven eyes, being the seven spirits of God, he sees earlier the seven-branched candlestick burning at the throne, which the Bible tells us are “the seven churches.” (Rev. 1:20) Yet in the fourth chapter of Revelation, the seven candlesticks find a special connection with the seven eyes of the Lamb. “And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.” (Revelation 4:5)

 

. . . The Spirit of God comes upon the church of God in seven distinct prophetic generations of the church, and like the seven seals are to be sealed by the seven witnesses, who are witnesses to the purchase and redemption price paid for the land. “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

 

. . . So who are the seven witnesses of the seven seals? They are the seven churches represented by the seven candlesticks. loudcryofthethirdangel.com

And round about the throne [were] four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. - Revelation 4:4 KJV

 

24 Elders

The identity of the 24 elders would also contribute to our understanding of the timing of the Rapture of the Bride.

 

In a very helpful article Who are the 24 Elders in Revelation? it reads:

      John MacArthur makes a strong case that the 24 elders represent a completed body of redeemed humanity, which at this point in future history could only be the church. 

First, the reference to the twenty-four thrones on which the twenty-four elders sat indicates that they reign with Christ. Nowhere in Scripture do angels sit on thrones, nor are they pictured ruling or reigning. . .

Presbuteroi (elders) is never used in Scripture to refer to angels, but always to men.  It is used to speak of older men in general, and the rulers of both Israel and the church.  There is no indisputable use of presbuteroi outside of Revelation to refer to angels. (Some believe that elders in Isaiah 24:23 refers to angels, but it could as well refer to humans.)  Further, elder would be an inappropriate term to describe angels, who do not age.

While angels do appear in white (e.g., John 20:12; Acts 1:10), white garments more commonly are the dress of believers.  That is particularly true in the immediate context of Revelation. Christ promised the believers at Sardis that they would be clothed in white garments (3:5).  He advised the apostate Laodiceans to buy from Me . . . white garments so that you may clothe yourself (3:18). At the marriage supper of the Lamb, His bride will clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean (19:8).  White garments symbolize Christ's righteousness imputed to believers at salvation. 

That the elders wore golden crowns on their heads provides further evidence that they were humans. Crowns are never promised in Scripture to angels, nor are angels ever seen wearing them. Stephanos (crown) is the victor's crown, worn by those who successfully endured the trial, those who competed and won the victory. . .

 

Some teach the 24 elders are Old Testament saints:

Adventists have often identified them with the saints who arose from their graves at the time of Christ's resurrection (Matt. 27:52, 53; cf. Eph. 4:8), since that is a group known to have already been resurrected. The main resurrection is still future (1 Thess. 4:16). ellenwhite.org

If this is the case, there would not be witnesses from all seven periods of the Church Age. I lean toward the belief that 12 patriarchs and the 12 apostles make up the 24 elders. If 12 of those elders are the 12 apostles, then this is proof of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture.

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Matthew 19:27-28

 

According to the CompanionBible by Bullinger Revelation 5:8-10 reads like the 24 elders are separate from the redeemed:

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us [most texts read "them"] to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us [most texts read "them"] unto our God kings and priests: and we [all texts read "they"] shall reign on the earth. Revelation 5:8-10 [Source: E. W. Bullinger's The Companion Bible pp. 1890-1891; public domain link: CompanionBible.Bullinger]

HOWEVER, I came across a teaching by David Hocking (a Blue Letter Bible commentator) on Manuscript Evidence that disputes Bullinger’s Companion Bible regarding the translation of Revelation 5:9. The Companion Bible notes that “most texts read ‘them’”; but David Hocking says:

 

In fact you'll see a number of NIV, New American and all of that saying in the margin, "most ancient authorities agree with this," Which is a flat out lie. Why? Because there are only twenty‐four Greek manuscripts on Revelation 5:9 that we know are in existence--twenty‐three of them read "us." The only one that doesn't is Codex Alexandrinas, the Egyptian tradition. BLB David Hocking-Manuscript Evidence

 

The reason the translation is so important, of course, is a determination of whether the Church saints, the Bride, is in Heaven at this time or not. 

 

In the controversial text for instance, in Revelation 5:9 about the new song that the elders are singing in heaven, whether they are singing it about themselves-"we've been purchased of God with His blood"-or about those that are on earth that are going to get saved, is the difference between being a pre‐tribulationist and a post‐tribulationist. That's how serious it is. So, it's a matter of manuscript evidence. BLB David Hocking-Manuscript Evidence

Who are the Riders?

 

Many scholars and researchers have come to conclusions as to who they believe the Rider on the White Horse of Revelation 6:2 is, yet who are the rest of the Riders? Derek and Sharon Gilbert of SkyWatch TV do an excellent series on the Book of Revelation called Unraveling Revelation wherein they explain why they believe the Four Horsemen of Revelation are spiritual entities who presented themselves as gods in ancient times. The Gilberts, who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture, also believe these entities began their ride back in the 1^st Century after the resurrected Jesus entered Heaven’s Throne Room. Thus, they conjecture Seals 1 through 5 have already been opened and we are awaiting Seal 6 when the Resurrection/Rapture occurs.

 

If they are correct, then we are waiting on a 6^th Seal Resurrection/Rapture now! But this would not jive with what we have learned about legal documents.

 

So, here is my thinking. Perhaps the Four Horsemen are Principalities or chief demonic spirits.

 

Ephesians 6:12 teaches that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”. If these Riders are Principalities or Powers, they would be allowed to influence the world even during the Church Age, AND they will be cast down by Satan along with their fellow evil angels in Revelation 12:3-4:

 

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: 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 12:3-4 KJV

 

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. - Revelation 12:7-9 KJV

 

This type of spiritual warfare would manifest and be seen by the Bride of Christ only tentatively for the Rapture would instantly follow as seen in Revelation 12:5:

 

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up [harpazo--raptured] unto God, and [to] his throne. - Revelation 12:5 KJV

 

This explains why so many believers have had dreams and visions of witnessing tsunamis, asteroids or a comet, nuclear missiles and fallen angels posing as “aliens” coming in UFOs just prior to the Rapture.

 

In February 2020 the Gilberts presented The Rider on the White Horse with this blurb:

 

We explain why we believe the first seal of the seven-sealed scroll was opened by the Lamb (Jesus) shortly after the Resurrection, and we speculate that the rider may be the ancient god known as Nergal in Babylon, Resheph in Canaan, and Apollo in Greece and Rome.

 

In The Rider on the Pale Horse Sharon and Derek connect Revelation’s Riders of the Apocalypse to the judgment God decreed against Judah in the days of the prophet Jeremiah and Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon:

 

And it shall come to pass, [that] the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. - Jeremiah 27:8 KJV

 

In The Open Door of Heaven Derek expounds on Exodus 24 and how it is a foreshadowing of the throne room scene in Revelation Chapter 4:

 

Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: And they saw the God of Israel: and [there was] under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in [his] clearness. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink. - Exodus 24:9-11 KJV

In Summary

 

If what the Gilberts present about the Four Horsemen being sent as a judgment God decreed against Judah is accurate, these unrestrained Riders will be responsible for much of Jacob’s Trouble/The Tribulation--a time designated for turning Israel back to God.

 

The study of legal documents and the proof of the ancient manuscripts give strong evidence of a Pre-Seal and Pre-Tribulation Rapture. While worldly documents are binding on earth, the Heavenly Scroll or Book revealed in Revelation 5 is formally bound both in heaven and on earth. Those who are witnesses of Christ from the seven periods of the Church Age must be present at the opening of the Seven Seals or the Scroll would be invalid at its opening!

In an update to this subject years later, I wanted to insert here that this blog is where I share my understanding, my learning curve. It is possible that the Pre-Tribulation 6^th Seal Rapture view made evident by the research of Stephanie Dawn at Red Moon Rapture makes my conclusions here debatable. To consider this for yourself, check out my January 2, 2025, article, THE SEALS, THE 2ND PLANDEMIC & THE RAPTURE.

 

As the Luciferian elite converge their plan against the inhabitants of earth, the trump of God will be sounded signaling an Event Horizon when the dead in Christ will be made immortal and explode out of their graves and those who remain will be powerfully transformed and meet the Lord in the air.

We will stand in the presence of Almighty God at the Great Assembly fulfilling His and our greatest desire--to be together for the Greatest Family Reunion of all time. We will see God and will eat and drink AND CELEBRATE!
