Trouble for the Bride Before the Rapture?

Trouble—Pressure

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Bride Overcomes tribulation

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

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

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

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

All wrath is Tribulation but not all tribulation is wrath.

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

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

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

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

AND

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

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

The Wave of Glory

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

END TIME BIRTH PAINS and PLANET X

As a Woman in Travail

In my last post on March 11, I shared a prophetic word given to me by the Spirit of Christ in which He said the Great Harvest has begun and that His people are not to fear the war and natural disasters that will also be a part of this season. In the Scriptures this turbulent time we are about to enter is compared to a woman in labor. In childbirth a woman must dilate to 10 centimeters before the baby can be pushed out.

J. D. Farag made this comparison in his Mid-East Prophecy Update which just so happened to also be posted on March 11. In his excitement regarding Putin's recent threats, Brother J. D. put the world prophetically at 10 centimeters dilated. To use a childbirth-related phrase, I think this dear brother is just a bit “premature”.

The Waters Have Broken

It was on March 12 I listened to J. D. Farag’s post and as I contemplated what he had said, I heard within my spirit, “The waters have broken”.

I knew the Lord was referring to the birth process when the amniotic sac breaks and a gush of fluid comes forth. I gasped as I did a mental review of what I knew about childbirth:

After the water breaks, when will labor begin?

Typically, after your water breaks at term, labor soon follows — if it hasn't already begun. mayoclinic.org

Do you see why I gasped?

I believe the Spirit of the Most High God is saying that on March 11, 2018, the anniversary of the 2011 Japanese tsunami, the prophetic waters of the world broke. This is a signal of the very, very soon travail coming upon the earth. Just as a woman’s labor typically begins soon after her waters break, so will The Tribulation begin soon!

How Soon is Soon?

There are those in the Body of Christ that claim a March 2018 rapture is imminent. The Lord has not shown me this; however, He has led me to stumble upon other videos posted by brethren that confirm the vision He gave Bob Barber of OUR LAST DAY.

To review, in Bob’s vision, he was shown a nuclear explosion, large alien (actually fallen angel or demonic) spacecrafts, Planet X, and then the rapture happening almost simultaneously.

1) Youtube Channel Mike444 posted a 6-minute video titled Dream from God given on November 4th 2017 (war is coming) in which he was shown missiles of war and space ships and then a holographic figure of a very human-like alien, which he knew was actually a demon. The alien-demon announced that all humans needed to be imprinted or marked (mark of the beast).

2) Zab Paschke also had a DREAM of Spaceships and Missiles and additionally shared a brother’s dream wherein he was shown America being invaded via nuclear war and aliens, but those who were “in Christ” were safe in the Lord’s arms.

3) Loved by the King was given a word that “Many major cosmic events will happen at once” (March 7, 2018, post). Her WOW!!! Rapture Timing Dream and vision reminded me of my three planets dream (which I later believed were 3 super moons—see Super Blue Blood Moon--Israel's Omen). In her dream she was shown a small moon or planet eclipsing the sun and then experiences her transfiguration in the rapture.

In this same video at about the 4:30 minute mark, she tells how two weeks later she was given a vision of 2 full moons separated by a skull-shaped semicolon. At first she believed the two full moons were only symbolic but then realized they could refer to the two super moons in January 2018. Later she came to the conclusion that the eclipse dream was of the partial solar eclipse we had in February 2018 and her vision pointed to the two full moons to occur this month!

She then referred viewers to a channel called step Up.

The Great Sign, Planet X, and the Rapture

4) YT Channel step Up’s dream was the most like Bob Barber’s vision. She posted it on March 10 under the title RAPTURE: WARNING; 12/25 - Nisan 1 the Dog Cries Grace is Over! She was shown the Planet X system coming into view and knew it was a sign that the rapture would occur at any moment. She then was shown a huge nuclear explosion and knew that when the nukes come down, we go up!

March may or may not be when we get to go Home. Some believe the rapture must occur on the Feast of Trumpets. I do not.

I contend that just as Jesus fulfilled the Spring and Summer feasts IN Israel, He will complete the Fall feasts IN Israel at His Second Coming to earth at the end of the 7-year Tribulation.

"SIGNS? WHAT SIGNS?"

Remember the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015 and that it was a sign of a significant event coming for Israel. Also the Revelation 12 Great Sign was not just a big tease by God. It is THE SIGN that announced the coming 70^th week of Daniel Chapter 9/The Seven-Year Tribulation, and by default, the Rapture of the Bride of Christ.

People get ready--Jesus is comin'~

SEASON OF THE OVERCOMER!

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. - Luke 10:2 KJV

Beloved Brethren, today I received one of the most clear and exciting words from the Most High God! It came to me as I worshipped Him on the treadmill. I was listening to a song I had never heard before and was deeply focused on Him. It began with a phrase—"Season of The Overcomer”.

I quickly turned off the machine and jumped down to grab my journal. This is what I heard Him say:

On this day seven years ago a tsunami swept over Japan. Today the Spirit of the Lord is saying NOW is the time for the great tidal wave of My Spirit!

Look to see ME in the chaos!

Look to see ME in the mess!

Look to see ME in My people

As they arise as a great tidal wave of My glory over this land and over this world.

Spoils of Egypt!

Spoils of Egypt!

I will cause My people to take the spoil of souls in the world! This is their last battle before entering the Promised Land—to conquer evil by harvesting souls I have prepared to receive Me in this hour.

So fear not My Beloved!

Fear not the wars!

Fear not the natural disasters

For I am in the midst Dear Ones!

I AM in the midst of the judgment coming upon the world. It is My great mercy to grab a hold of the lost before My great wrath is poured upon the earth.

REJOICE!

REJOICE!

LOOK UP!

LOOK UP!

This is what you have been waiting for!

MY MOVE upon the earth!

Not man’s but MY MOVE!

Rejoice for I am coming for you My Loved Ones.

I am coming in the midst of the mess and pulling you out at My Father’s bidding.

The Great Harvest begins! REJOICE!

Oh no I am NOT finished with the world yet!

My latter rain is NOT finished yet!

I AM THE LATTER RAIN!

And I will flood the earth with My glory through My people before the end.

This movement will have NO NAME attached to it. It will sweep across the world swiftly. It is the SEASON OF THE OVERCOMER!

Does this rhema resonate with your spirit?

It gave me much encouragement for I had recently been seeking the Lord asking, “What’s next?” I wanted to know not just for myself but to edify others.

He’s in the Midst of the Chaos

Some years back I asked the Holy Spirit to shed light on whatever area of my life He wished. In a vision He took me to a day in my childhood that was very fearful and painful for me and my siblings. It was a summer day when we were forced to escape our home and seek safety by going to a familiar hill where we went sledding in the winter. I thought we were alone, but in the vision I saw Jesus was there leading us by the hand up the hill to safety.

He was in the midst of our terror holding our hands! Whatever is ahead in the days to come, we need not fear—only believe!

We are not only in the Season of Miracles, but the Season of The Overcomer! This is HIS time. Remember it was Jesus who was the First to Overcome—He is THE Overcomer!

Judgment

There is no need to fear this time of judgment upon the earth if you have made Jesus Christ your Lord. Judgment is not His wrath. It is a time of assessment that is the precursor to wrath. Judgment is a loving act of mercy intent on bringing people to repentance to avoid the punishment of wrath.

Judgment is like discipline—it’s not fun but it is GOOD and NECESSARY!

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: - For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth. - Proverbs 3:11-12 KJV

Spoils of Egypt--SOULS

Jonathan Cahn spoke recently on the fight that comes before entering the promised land. He reminded us that Moses fought against high powers to free the Israelites from Egypt and Joshua had to fight the giants to take the promised land.

I had been asking the Lord, “What is our last battle?” and in this prophetic word He answered me! It is to conquer evil by gathering in lost souls for Him. He will send them to us in the midst of the chaos and mess of these last days.

The Great Harvest Begins

Today begins Daylight Savings Time in the United States. It was determined that clocks would “spring forward” one hour this time of year to allow farmers to take advantage of the daylight. Let us take advantage while the daylight is still here!

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. - John 9:4 KJV

In the past I, and many others, were shown this great harvest of souls in the last days. I now believe this will occur before our Heavenly Bridegroom comes to sweep us Home.

At some point in the midst of the turbulent times we live in, after He has swiftly moved upon people to bring them into salvation, Jesus will snatch His Bride up. I believe we will see MORE AND GREATER WAR, MORE AND GREATER EARTHQUAKES, more and greater whatever because God is mercifully going to get people’s attention that HE IS GOD!

Hope has a Name!

The song I was listening to (for the first time) when I received the above rhema, was Love Has a Name by Jesus Culture.

I realized after writing down the prophetic word, that the lyrics of the song matched this message. Some of these lyrics are:

Love has a name—Jesus.

Joy has a name—Jesus.

Victory has a name—Jesus.

Hope has a name—Jesus.

Because of the Father’s great LOVE for the people in the world, He sent His only begotten son, Jesus. Whoever believes on Jesus—makes Him the Lord of their life—receives the JOY of eternity. We are in the season where The Overcomer will VICTORIOUSLY move to claim a great harvest of souls. He will then snatch away His prize for He is our Blessed HOPE—JESUS!

Billy Graham, Philadelphia, and a Passover Exodus

Even a Broken Clock…

Some of my readers might be wondering why I have not yet commented on the significance of Billy Graham’s death. At the time I first heard about it, I did believe it signaled the coming end to the Age of Grace. I wanted to wait, however, before sharing my two cents. I’m glad I did.

As I listened to what others in the Body of Christ were saying, I realized that my first impression may be correct—that the Age of Grace is quickly coming to an end and the catching away of the Church Bride may be this Passover.

Yes, I don’t blame you if you are rolling your eyes at that statement because I (and many others) have been talking about Christ coming for His Bride for over two years now; but even a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day! In other words, one day we are going to get the date right!

Why Passover?

The harpazo of those who are in Christ may or may not occur on a feast day. No one really knows the exact timing of the rapture, but let me share with you some extremely intriguing information I recently learned.

Promised Land Entry on Passover

Paul of the REVELATIONCHAPTER12dotCOM YT Channel pointed out that the children of Israel left Egypt on a Passover and entered the promised land on a Passover in his Considering a Passover Rapture - Part 2 video. This hit me square between the eyes when I heard it!

But why would I think that because the children of Israel got to enter their promised land on Passover mean necessarily that the overcoming church gets to enter the promised land of eternity THIS Passover?

watchfortheday.org

Billy Graham a Type of Moses

It was something Anne Graham Lotz said at her father’s funeral:

“My father’s death was as significant as his life and his life was very significant . . . February 21, 2018, was the date God chose to take my father home. Why? It is the day that Jews focus on Scripture readings that focus on the death of Moses. Moses was a great liberator. He brought millions of people out of bondage to slavery, got them to the edge of the promised land, then God took him to Heaven. And then God brought Joshua to bring them into the promised land to take them home.

My father also is a great liberator. He brought millions of people out of bondage to sin, and he gets us to the edge of Heaven, the edge of the promised land, and God has called him home. And then could it be that God is going to bring Joshua to lead us into the Promised Land—lead us into Heaven. And do you know what the New Testament name is for Joshua? It’s JESUS.

And I believe this is a shot across the bow from Heaven. God is saying, ‘Wake up world! Jesus is coming! Jesus is coming!” Billy Graham's Funeral - Anne Graham Lotz

2018 The Year of Redemption

Year to Fly Like an Eagle?

Last Friday I watched the Hal Lindsey Report Update _ Playing With Fire ( Feb 24, 2018 ) video. Near the end of his report Hal Lindsey spoke on how the NFL Patriots’ team had a Character Coach who helps estimate the character of the players before they are drafted and helps develop better character in the players already on the team.

I thought back on that recent Super Bowl Game and how two teams made up of several Christians (according to what someone told me) ended up at the championship game—the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles. Both teams performed brilliantly, but the win went to the Eagles. A prophetic realization dawned on me—the Patriots were symbolic of the church who will lose; that is, be left behind when the harpazo/rapture occurs; and the winners—the Philadelphia Eagles were symbolic of the overcoming church who will fly to meet the Lord in the air!

Only those who are of the Philadelphia church will fly as eagles in the rapture:

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; -

I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. -

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. - Revelation 3:7, 8, 10 KJV

Those who only appear to be of the Body of Christ who are not born again, their patriotism is to themselves and not to the Lord and are among the six churches warned by Jesus in Revelation Chapters 2 and 3! (To understand more about this please read Who are the Tribulation Saints?)

Along with the myriad of other signs in the heavens and the earth, here was yet another sign proclaiming the soon rapture!

50^th Year--Jubilee

This past Saturday I was loving on the Lord and singing to Him and He gave me a verse to look up—Leviticus 25:17. As I read it I realized it was the chapter about the jubilee year. “But why verse 17, Lord?” I asked.

Ye shall not therefore oppress one another [financially oppress is the context here]; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I [am] the LORD your God. - Leviticus 25:17 KJV

I believe He spoke to my spirit that the “17” referred to God sounding the trumpet of Jubilee in 2017, for Leviticus 17:8-10 records that in the 49^th year the Jubilee trumpet is to be sounded then the actual redemptive year is the 50^th year (our 2018).

Informedchristians teaches in Redemption Reminders about this being the year of redemption adding that March is the month of money redemption. Jesus was our kinsman redeemer. His death on the cross was the payment of our redemption, but He must come back to redeem our bodies and take us home:

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins. - 1 John 4:10 KJV

In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, - Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. - Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV

The rapture is the day the Overcoming Church receives bodily redemption:

For our conversation [citizenship] is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: - Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. - Philippians 3:20-21 KJV

When They Go Up We Go Up!

To top everything off, today as I took a break from writing to get my lunch I heard the most exciting news on Paul Begley’s YT channel--Prophecy Alert--Jews Allowed Prayer on Temple Mount!!!  [My apologies! In my excitement I posted the above without my usual double checking. Paul Begley later posted a Retraction Temple Mount will remain status quo in Jerusalem. Let us continue to watch Israel, especially Jerusalem, for much may happen still in a succinct amount of time.] 

Why this is so exciting to me as a follower of Christ is because:

Matthew Patrick Winfrey, a brother in Christ on Youtube who ministers in the Philippines, believes he was shown that “When you see the natural seed of Abraham ascend the natural Mount Zion, know that this is the sign that the spiritual seed of Abraham will ascend to the Heavenly Mount Zion”.

Brother Patrick added that this could either refer to when the Jews will be able to openly pray on the Temple Mount or it may refer to when the building of the Third Temple begins. [Excerpt from 2018 Final Signs.]

This might be what Brother Patrick’s above word indicates—that when we see the Jews being allowed to go up to the Temple Mount to pray know that THIS IS THE SIGN OF THE COMING RAPTURE OF THE OVERCOMING CHURCH!!!

Woohoo! Come Lord Jesus Come!

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

Event Horizon-Sign of the Son of man?

Almost a year ago I wrote an article titled Event Horizon--The Resurrection in which I share hair-raising scientific evidence that Christ’s resurrection was an event horizon. This leads me to believe that the resurrection and catching away of those who are in Christ will also be an event horizon.

event-horizon

Noun

(plural event horizons)

1. (astrophysics) The gravitational sphere of a black hole within which the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light, causing time to practically stop.

2. A point of no return, by analogy to the astronomical usage.

Over the past year I noticed some of the brethren sharing on-line that the Spirit of the Lord revealed to them a particular sign that would appear in the heavens just prior to the catching away. They were told it would be an “event horizon”.

Event Horizon Watchmen

Rhonda Empson was the first I heard speak on this. Her husband was shown that this was the sign of the Son of man. More recently on October 9, 2017 she shared some confirmation she received.

Tetelestai on the Cross refers to Rhonda’s videos and gives further insight she received.

Geneva Goodman shared a vision of an event horizon she received along with a word from the Lord that “Your world will change in one moment—in one flash all will be different”. “Time will not wait,” she continued which reminded me of what J. D. Farag said--Bible prophecy has an expiration date.

She also pointed out that part of the definition of an event horizon (see above) is that time practically stops which was what the Lord had also shown her before she had looked it up!

Minister Paul, in his December 26, 2017 post, shares his video of the event horizon/black hole that he took from his backyard. The Lord had woken Paul early in the morning to show this to him. Christian Journal Media reports that 2018 is the year a black hole will be seen for the first time!

God's Handmaiden might be the first one to post a revelation about the event horizon, but I only stumbled upon it today.

I cannot vouch for the character of these brethren except in my spirit I believe they serve the Most High God Yahweh through His Son Jesus Christ. It is up to each of you to seek the Lord about what they or I share.

Sign of the Son of man

Many believe that the Revelation 12:1-2 wonder is the sign of the Son of man; however, I have not found where the Scripture is clear on this. Is it possible that the event horizon these brethren say we will see just before the rapture of the Overcoming Church IS the sign of the Son of man? That the whole world will see it, as Rhonda Empson reported? If so, when Jesus returns to set foot on the Mount of Olives, will this be what is seen by the “tribes of earth” who moan at the sight?

The only verse I found where the sign of the Son of man is mentioned is in Matthew:

And then shall appear (phainō—to appear; be seen; shine) the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see( optanomai—to look at; behold) the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. - Matthew 24:30 KJV

In Matthew Chapter 24 Jesus is describing last days events. The Overcoming Church does not see the fulfillment of the wrath of God but will see troubling events leading up to it. In my understanding, Scripture does not make clear exactly when the harpazo (the Greek word meaning “catching away”) of the Bride occurs only that She is saved from wrath.

So Matthew 24:30 in my mind is speaking of an event at the end of the 7-year Tribulation also known as Jacob's Trouble or the 70^th Week of Daniel Chapter 9. I believe this for TWO REASONS:

(1) Matthew 24:30 records that the tribes of the earth SEE the Son of man with their natural eyes. This happens when Jesus comes as KING of kings TO the earth. The harpazo or rapture is an event when the dead and living in Christ meet Jesus IN THE AIR.

(2) The second reason I believe verse 30 is at the end of the Tribulation period is that the following verse 31 refers to the very last part of a Hebrew harvest:

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. - Matthew 24:31 KJV

The “four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” refers to the four corners of the earth. The corners of a field were always left for the poor to glean from (see  Deuteronomy). Jesus sends his angels to these four corners to gather together the elect—those who believed on the Messiah during the Tribulation. (For a further explanation of this go to jashow.org/articles/who-are-the-elect-referred-to-in-matthew-2431/)

Perry Stone does an excellent job explaining how the end time harvest is compared to the three main crops harvested in Israel in the video 3 PART HARVEST OF SOULS & RAPTURE EXPLAINED IN 15 MIN!

This is why I believe Matthew 24:30 is referring to an event seen by the people left on earth after the rapture of the Church Bride, for the Bride meets the Lord in the air as the FIRST part of the harvest of souls which will occur before the Tribulation begins.

Notice that the tribes mourn after they see the sign of the Son of man but before they see Jesus in the clouds. What is the sign of the Son of man? What are they seeing?

So What Do They SEE?

In the first part of verse 30 it is SEEING the sign of the Son of man FIRST  that causes the tribes to moan. Well, how do they know they are seeing “the sign of the Son of man”?

I submit for your judgment that perhaps the sign of the Son of man IS the event horizon occurrence the above brethren have shared. These brethren believe the event horizon will be sighted by the entire world just before the Bride of Christ meets Jesus in the air at the rapture.

THEREFORE, at Christ’s physical return to earth at the END of the Tribulation the tribes of the earth would KNOW what the sign of the Son of man looks like! So when they see the event horizon happening, they recognize it as the sign of the coming of Jesus Christ, Yahshuah Ha Moshiach, and they MOAN because (a) they missed out on the great escape or rapture, and (b) they know He is coming to ‘clean house’ and make final judgments!

Just as Jesus' first coming was in two parts so His second coming will be in two parts and perhaps the event horizon sign is seen at both parts!

What do YOU think though? Does what I say make any sense or am I misunderstanding something?

Another wonderfully crazy thing I realized is that if the harvesting of souls follows the pattern Perry Stone teaches, the rapture of the Overcoming Church could very well happen on Passover. If the leaked information regarding Jerusalem coming under international control is accurate, we just might go home this Passover!
