The revving up of events as 2017 is quickly coming to a
close has my head spinning!
500th
Anniversary of Reformation
The thought that tomorrow—October 31—marks the 500th
Anniversary of Martin Luther’s protestant act had whisked past my attention
until I saw this video by Bible Flock Box: Something BIG is About to Happen October
31! This brother explains that the Vatican pretends to be likeminded with
Protestants regarding salvation by faith alone BUT in reality adheres to the
Roman Catholic Church sacraments and the practice of the confessional which
goes against 1 Timothy 2:5:
For [there is] one
God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; - 1 Timothy
2:5 KJV
He quotes from the Catholic
Herald article, “The Pope’s Great Evangelical Gamble” which indicates Protestant
and Evangelical willingness to be united with the papacy:
Somewhere in Pope Francis’s office
is a document that could alter the course of Christian history. It declares an
end to hostilities between Catholics and Evangelicals and says the two
traditions are now “united in mission because we are declaring the same
Gospel”.The Holy Father is
thinking of signing the text in 2017, the 500th anniversary of the Reformation,
alongside Evangelical leaders representing roughly one in four Christians in
the world today. [highlighting added] catholicherald.co.uk
This “Christian Unity” message is a Trojan horse being
rolled into the churches.
Steven Ben Nun recently shed additional light on how this
could possibly happen. In his October 28, 2017, video Rome's Modern Inquisition, brother
Steven explains that the Protestant and Evangelical churches may be intimidated
by the International Criminal Court whose judges are trained by Roman Catholic
priests.
Then I remembered the vision of the three snakes the Lord
had given me:
In my April 19, 2017, article End Time Puzzle Pieces Coming Together I
shared a vision the Lord gave me wherein I saw three python-sized snakes. When
I asked what it meant He said, “These are the three main religions in the world
rising up together. Soon they will entwine with one another to form the New
World Religion.” 3 Snakes and 7 Mountains
100th
Anniversary of Fatima
As I was reviewing all this information, I remembered yet
another October 2017 anniversary—the 100th anniversary of the
apparition at Fatima.
Bob Barber and L. A. Marzulli have been led to share
information related to this harbinger of deception and I would suggest you go
to their websites to learn more. Brother Bob of Endtime Dream and Vision
Youtube Channel shares in his video titled L A
MARZULLI & I EXPOSE THE DARK TRUTH OF FATIMA that the Roman Catholic
Church put out a prophecy that there would be another apparition at Fatima on
September 23, 2017. This did not occur, however, supposedly the Lady of Fatima
said she would return in October 2017 and there would be a great miracle.
The New World Order is rapidly becoming a reality. Truly the
time of our Lord’s appearing is imminent!
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.
Last week I had precious time with my grandchildren—extremely
precious in many ways but mostly because I only get to see them once a year.
Part of that short visit I spent teaching the two youngest ones about the soon
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and about the crown associated with loving His
appearing.
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
his appearing. - 2 Timothy 4:8 KJV
“Daddy! Jesus is coming back for us in the air and we will
all
get crowns and have a big party!” my 5-year old granddaughter excitedly
told my son after her Bible lesson. She then modeled the plastic gem-encrusted paper crown she had made that went along with what she had learned.
Later she decided to “crown” the dog. I warned her that if
she wanted to wear the crown for her birthday party scheduled the next day she
needed to take better care of it. This reminded me of the verse in the Book of
Revelation:
Behold, I come
quickly: hold that fast
which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. - Revelation 3:11 KJV
Signs BEFORE the End
It is exciting to see all that is culminating in this time
called THE LAST DAYS!
It would appear that the TWO “great wonders” or signs of
Revelation 12 may have concluded yesterday. The first sign, as John described
it in Revelation 12:1-2, was seen on September 23-24, 2017. Then Revelation
12:3-4 might have been represented by the Draconid meteor shower that peaked on
October 7-8. Revelation 12:5 possibly occurred on October 26 when Jupiter ‘disappeared’
as it set below the horizon with the Sun in a solar conjunction.
So where does that leave those of us who are looking and
longing for His appearing?
Many of my fellow watchmen were hoping to see the rapture
event occur on the same day as the Great Sign, but that was not the case. We had
forgotten that SIGNS are
seen BEFORE the actual event about which they forewarn. With that in
mind, perhaps both heavenly signs of Revelation 12 have happened as a precursor to the manifestations that parallel them.
The manifestation of the Revelation 12 warning will begin
(in my opinion) with a convergence of events:
>Woman in travail (Revelation 12:1-2) = Nuclear world war
(Jacob’s Trouble)--in Daniel 11 the great war is prophesied with the initial
attack by the King of the South with the massive counterattack by the King of
the North. This is followed by “a time of trouble, such as never was” (Daniel
12:1).
>The great red dragon sweeping his tail (Revelation
12:3-4) = A massive meteor and asteroid strike of the Earth and other
catastrophes associated with Planet X as Archangel Michael and his fellow
angels cast Satan and his horde from the second heaven (Revelation 12:7-9)
>The catching up of the man child (Revelation 12:5) = The
harpazo (catching away or rapture) of
the Church Bride
When will this all manifest? Soon! Most likely very soon because of
recent developments in the Middle East!
On the Cusp of Isaiah
17 and Ezekiel 38!
J. D. Farag shares in my anticipation. Not that anyone wishes
to see war, but he reported a significant prophetic event in his Mid-East Prophecy Update October 22, 2017
that points to the nearness of a world war. At about the 32-minute mark he
shares that according to an Arutz Sheva article, Iran is going to cooperate
with Syria to destroy the “Zionist enemy”.
"We arrived in Damascus in
order to coordinate and cooperate to confront our common enemies: the Zionists
and the terrorists," Iranian General Mohammad Baqeri told Syria's state
television channel. israelnationalnews.com
Also Ynet news on October 19, 2017, reported that Moscow
communicated to Tehran that Russia is committed to its nuclear deal with Iran.
“Is this not Isaiah 17 and Ezekiel 38?” J. D. asks. “This is
exactly what we are told would happen at the time of the end.”
The burden of
Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a
ruinous heap. - Isaiah 17:1 KJV
Brother Farag believes when Isaiah 17:1 happens it will be a
catalyst for the Ezekiel 38 Gog and Magog war.
Jesus said:
And ye shall hear of
wars and rumours of wars: see
that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but
the end is not yet. - Matthew 24:6 KJV
November Prophetic
Flags
It is my belief, along with Chuck Missler and others, that
the Overcoming Church will be raptured before
the Ezekiel 38 war.
There are so many indicators pointing to the imminent
catching away of the Bride.
For example, it is interesting that several U.S. agencies
are simulating a solar flare-induced national power failure during the same
time as Antifa’s day of rage. Interesting for many reasons, but I point this
out NOT to cause any fear but because Perry Stone has shared how it is possible
that the rapture
event will have an EMP effect and knock out the electricity worldwide.
(Not to mention all the coming wrath-related disasters to hit the planet that
could cause it as well—wrath that we are not appointed to! Saved
from Wrath)
Bob Barber also recently shared information about the
significance of November, such as the 100th Anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, and how it may relate to the rapture: PROPHETIC FLAGS ARE UP! NOV 3 AND 4
Bible Prophecy Girl points out in her October 24, 2017, video Finding Clues that
on November 13 there is a conjunction of Jupiter and Venus (the Morning Star)
and the possibility of it pointing to the catching away of the Church Bride.
Whatever the date of His much-longed-for appearing, let us fearlessly
hold fast until He comes!
But that which ye have
[already] hold fast till I
come.
And he that
overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over
the nations:
And he shall rule them
with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers:
even as I received of my Father.
And I will give him
the morning star. Revelation 2:25-28
Paul Begley shared today this news: Breaking: NASA Confirmation Planet 9
(Planet X) is Real. Starting at about the 5-minute mark, Begley reported that
NASA admits Planet 9 is real, but that this is equivalent to saying that Planet
X/Nibiru is real. Those who have been keeping tabs on the photo and video
evidence of this incoming planetary system ALREADY KNOW THAT IT’S REAL!
The Washington Post December 1983
NASA, of course, is not fully disclosing what it knows. They
announced the discovery of Planet X/Nibiru back in 1983 but then went silent
about it after the press got a hold of the story.
I believe that many if not all of
the events foretold in the Book of Revelation will unfold as spiritual AND
physical manifestations. The physical manifestation of the Dragon [of
Revelation 12:3-4] I speculate may be Planet X/Nibiru and its orbiting system. The
DRAGON then BIRTH!
Rescued from Dragon’s
Wrath
Those who are in Christ need not fear the Great Red Dragon!
We are NOT appointed to its wrath (see Saved from
Wrath).
The Great Sign of Revelation 12:1-2 still appears in the
night sky but the planet Jupiter will soon dip below the horizon as October
comes to a close and go out of sight as Informed Christians points out in its Radar Update. Only
our Heavenly Father knows whether the second great wonder of Revelation 12—the
Great Red Dragon—will be revealed before then or not. The elite of this world
have been using fallen angel technology to hide the incoming planetary system,
but according to WSO, Jeff P, and other Nibiru-watchers, the technology is
beginning to fail (see my mention of these Youtubers on The
DRAGON then BIRTH!) No matter what, the Church Bride will be harpazo—snatched
out of danger’s way—beforehand or simultaneously with its terrifying appearance.
Our Time is Short
Let me leave you with this thought once again: Watchfortheday.org
made this observation based on the assumption The Tribulation begins in 2017:
If
the Tribulation ends on the Day of Atonement 2024, then 2,520 [days] back from
that day is November 19, 2017. The sign of Revelation 12 then comes 57 days before the Tribulation.
This gap matches the gap between the end of Daniel’s 69 weeks on Palm Sunday
and the beginning of the Church on Pentecost.
The sign of Revelation 12 makes sense as a sign warning to us all
that the Tribulation is coming, just as depicted in the sign itself with the
virgin (Israel) about to go through tribulation. For the Church, our time is then short. The
requirements of the sign make it extremely rare making 2017 the only year in
which it coincides with the final generation. [Excerpt from The Great Sign ofRevelation 12] [Bracketed information and highlighting
added.]
Gary of Unsealed.org pointed out something about the Revelation
12:1-2 celestial alignment that should have occurred to me before now, but here
it is:
Keep in mind that the Great Sign of Revelation 12:1-2 is of a
woman in labor, not the birth of the male child. The birth doesn't occur
until verse 5. These dates, like the rest of this research, are
speculative, but consider:
Conception: 12/23/16
Woman in labor (The Great Sign): 9/23/17 - 9/24/17
Birth of the male child: 10/13/17
According to Micah 5:3 the dispensational change between the Church Age and
the Tribulation doesn't occur until the woman gives birth (the corporate male
child), thus September 23rd didn't mark the change in dispensation - it only
marked the nearness to the ultimate
event: the rapture of the Church. [Excerpt from unsealed.org/shemini-atzeret]
The
Dragon makes its appearance BEFORE the birth of the male child in verse 5!! IF
my research and harmony of the Scriptures is correct, then we have NOT YET SEEN
the second wonder of Revelation 12!
Conception
I am in
agreement with Gary that the ‘conception’ of the Revelation 12 man child occurred
sometime around December 23, 2016—during
Hanukkah—The Season of Light!
It
makes sense that the conception of the man child (which I believe represents those
who will rule the nations with the Messiah as He promised in Revelation 2:26-27)
would follow the same pattern as the Head, for Scriptural and astronomical
evidence indicates that Jesus was conceived around that season as well.
December 23, 2016 was also the date of the historic anti-Israel
resolution 2334 that was approved by the United Nations Security Council, which
demanded that God's land be divided. [Excerpt from unsealed.org/shemini-atzeret]
Woman in Labor
Originally,
I and many others speculated that The Tribulation would begin when the
September 23-24 celestial alignment occurred. This was not the case, obviously;
but I still believe that alignment was the Revelation 12:1-2 Great Wonder and
that it is still a sign that Jacob’s Trouble/The Tribulation will soon begin.
The Great Red Dragon
Cris Putnam writes on page 129 of the book On the
Path of the Immortals:
Notice that this ultimate Great Red
Dragon has seven heads, just like the Leviathan of the Canaanites. However, the
same text sheds light on several mysteries. “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 12:9)…In one fell swoop, John has connected the
dragon to the Nachash, “the shining one” who deceived Eve in the
garden, to Diablos,” the slanderer,” to Satan, “the adversary,” and
identifies the sum total as one being consigned to terrorize the earth during
the Great Tribulation.
As we argued in chapter 1, the
most consistent view with the whole counsel of God is that the angelic war
culminating in Satan’s demotion to earth is a future event. Amazon.com

According
to the order presented in Revelation 12, it appears that the Dragon/Satan must
first take one-third of the Stars/Fallen Angels and cast them down BEFORE the
birth of the man child:
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. - Revelation 12:3 KJV
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 12:4 KJV
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was
caught up unto God, and [to] his throne. - Revelation 12:5 KJV
OR the displacement of Satan and his horde may occur almost
simultaneously with the birth of the man child (i.e., the rapture of the Overcomers)
as I have written before with the transformed sons of God rising as the angels
fall.
So where is the
Dragon? Has it appeared yet or not?
I believe that many if not all of the events foretold in the
Book of Revelation will unfold as spiritual AND physical manifestations. The
physical manifestation of the Dragon I speculate may be Planet X/Nibiru and its
orbiting system.
Starting at about the 20-minute mark in his Red Planet with 3 Orbiting Moons
video, Jeff P gives photographic evidence of Planet X and three of its orbiting
bodies. He also explains how there is a lens array being used to hide Planet X
and shows evidence of how it works. Steve Olson has additional evidence at WSO Proof of Planet X and System Hiding It.
David Meade's original hypothesis was that Planet X would
arrive by November 2017 (Nibiru Will
Pass Earth Before November 2017). I believe Nibiru is real but the date it
will begin to bring real chaos to the Earth is conjecture. It is noteworthy,
however, that David Meade’s timing is within the window Unsealed is referring
to for the birth of the man child (October 13). The Sixth Seal is the most likely time associated with
the destruction of this incoming planetary system. (For more information
related to this go to Time
to Save With Fear.)
Birth/Rapture
Scripture shows that the
rapture does occur prior to the Tribulation. To better
understand how the Church Bride will be caught up before the
travail of the woman in Revelation 12, you will want to watch Alan Horvath’s two
videos: The
Most Comprehensive Rapture Update andKar Giver's Bonus Rapture Update 2017.
He and Kar Giver explain how Scripture prophesies of TWO CORPORATE BIRTHS:
1) First
birth will be prior to the travail of the woman—“The Great Sign of Revelation 12 does not represent the rapture. The
birth of the zakar (singular) mentioned in Isaiah 66:7 does refer to the rapture by referring to
the birth out of Israel that occurs before labor begins—before the
Tribulation in other words…We are not looking at one birth…but two corporate
births that occur at different times with respect to the Tribulation.” (Quote
from Kar Giver's Bonus Rapture
Update 2017)
2) Second
birth will occur after the Tribulation begins. [Excerpt from By the
Skin of Our Teeth]
To understand more about the events surrounding the rapture
of the Church Bride read The
Day of the Lord. Gary’s article points to October 13 as the possible timing
of the birth of the man child:
Exactly 42 weeks to the day from December 23,
2016 is October 13, 2017 - Shemini Atzeret and the day Jupiter leaves
Virgo. Could this be the actual date of the birth of the male child
and Revelation
12:5? 38 to 42 weeks is considered a perfect/normal pregnancy. [Excerpt
from unsealed.org/shemini-atzeret]
We are half a year away from the 70th anniversary of the
rebirth of Israel. The time of “The Fig
Tree Generation” is almost up since
2017 marks anniversaries
for Israel that cover the gamut of the Biblical definition of a generation.
After our
Messiah meets the Overcoming Church in the air, seven years later on the Day of
Atonement is when Christ will actually set foot on Earth (see the section
titled Yeshua's Second Coming and Yom Kippur at hebroots.com). Watchfortheday.org
made this observation based on the assumption The Tribulation begins in 2017:
If the Tribulation ends on the Day of Atonement 2024, then 2,520 [days]
back from that day is November 19, 2017. The sign of Revelation 12 then
comes 57 days before the Tribulation. This gap matches the gap between the end
of Daniel’s 69 weeks on Palm Sunday and the beginning of the Church on
Pentecost.
The sign of Revelation 12 makes sense as a sign warning to us all that the
Tribulation is coming, just as depicted in the sign itself with the virgin
(Israel) about to go through tribulation. For the Church, our time is then
short. The requirements of
the sign make it extremely rare making 2017 the only year in which it coincides
with the final generation. [Excerpt from The Great Sign of Revelation
12] [Bracketed information and highlighting added.]
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 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!
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…
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.
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 himThat 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 awayfirst, 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
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
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
Very early this morning I sought Him. “Lord, what’s next?
Would You please reveal anything I should know or be prepared for?”
As I prayed silently in tongues, in my mind I mulled over
the blood
moon tetrad, the eclipses (especially what Mark Biltz said about the USA Solar Eclipse and the Sign of Jonah
being a warning to the nation to repent), and the September 23 celestial
alignment. All these things must point to something.
“Surely, Lord, the boiling pot that is the Middle East will
soon boil over into war directly against Israel?” I asked pressing in to see if
He would answer me. Then a thought came to me. A terrible but true thought.
Israel is dependent upon the United States to help defend
her. The Scriptures indicate America is not in the picture in the last days
when Jerusalem is surrounded by armies (Luke 21:20). That means Israel will
have no choice but to be totally dependent upon God in that day!
That’s it!
What’s Next
What is coming next is something the Spirit of the Lord
showed me decades ago—national repentance or the destruction of America as we
know it. I do not say this lightly for it is accompanied with many intercessory
tears over the years for this my beloved country.
In a Letter of
Warning from a Military Friend, a man shares that he was shown that the Body
of Christ in America will not awaken until after the nation has had devastating
hurricanes on both coasts, two large earthquakes, then a devastating tsunami on
the East Coast! I wish to point out that this man was shown that the Body would
not awaken until then, but I believe the Bride of Christ is a remnant of those
within the Body who are awake—VERY AWAKE!
This military man of God, of course, is not alone in being
shown the coming catastrophes (see EARTHQUAKE
WARNING!).
If there is no national repentance, destruction will come.
Steve Cioccolanti recently gave his insight related to this
in his September 30 video Earthquake
2017 is Next. Brother Steve makes the conjecture that the two total solar
eclipses that are seven years apart may indicate the period of time God is
willing to wait to see if America will repent. He may be correct; but sadly,
events seem to be ramping up too rapidly for this much time being left.
The Tav
It's been 99 years since a total solar eclipse crossed the
entire United States and having another total
solar eclipse cross the entire United States again, forming an 'X', just a few
years later is perhaps unprecedented. But, perhaps it’s not an ‘x'. The last
letter in the Hebrew alphabet is called a "tav" and it means
"truth" and has the meaning in Hebrew that was given to its symbol
as: "mark, sign, covenant." The original ancient letter looks like
this:
The article above notes that the Hebrew letter tav symbolizes covenant. God through His
Son Jesus Christ has a covenant people in all nations but especially
concentrated in America. Could it be He
is showing us not only to repent as a nation, but also reminding us that He has not
forgotten His covenant people—the disciples of Yahshua Ha Moshiach?
Confirmation!
After hours of seeking the Lord, my husband joined me in the
living room and we decided to see what Brother J. D. Farag had to share in his Prophecy
Update October 1, 2017.
At around the 17:30 to 18:00 minute mark he proceeds to
state what I had just concluded—that the Scriptures show the United States will be conspicuously absent and unable to defend Israel in her time of trouble!
J. D. also points out the same possible scenario I am hoping
for—that perhaps the Bride will be raptured before the sudden destruction of 1
Thessalonians Chapter 5! Although my speculations that sudden destruction would
begin on September 23, 2017, have been proven incorrect, I still believe we are
on the cusp of The Tribulation and that the overcoming Church will escape By the
Skin of Our Teeth!
Even so, Come Lord Jesus!
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.
