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.”
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!

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 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

Blessings dear sister! Very nice article! What I don't understand is that God has to beat Baal. This Baal is already defeated and loser from the start so the Lord doesn't need that, he just has to stop him? To me, God is Almighty and nothing and no one can equal his little toe. He can do anything. He created everything, even Lucifer, the angels, and everything. So he does not need to deal with Baal for the child sacrifices. He could exterminate her if he wanted to. So why does God need to deal with Baal? He is God, however. And events will happen because his Word said it anyway, so I don't have to understand the reason for this deal, but for the rest, as always, you are so successful in immersing us in your messages, thank you sister! Big hug!
Dear Carole--You are absolutely correct that God does NOT have to beat Baal because he is already a defeated foe! I changed the terminology I used in one of my sentences above to reflect this, so thank you for bringing it to my attention.
The true God is Almighty BUT He must abide by His own Word. That is why He has not yet exterminated Baal or any of the other demonic princes YET. Their time will come though--it is written in Revelation Chapter 20!
I shutter to think that the hold-up may be until 2024/2025 for the rapture. When the ancient Israelites spent 400 years in the wilderness, they didn't come out and immediately go into the Promised Land. They spent 40 years in the wilderness.
So too when the Church Age crossed the 400-year Vineyard America mark, it is possible that the number 4 pattern will repeat and we find ourselves 4 years in the proverbial wilderness of food shortages and scarcity just like the Israelites of old when they had to be fed with manna from Heaven.
This model for the rapture would maintain the number 4 pattern and line up perfectly with the second American eclipse signalling America's "crossing out" via the rapture i.e. the 2017 eclipse and the 2024 eclipse.
THE WRITING ON THE WALL: THE HIDDEN 4TH LETTER AND THE 2022 RAPTURE “GATE” PSALM SIGN?
https://endtimesdarknessdescending.wordpress.com/2021/09/27/the-writing-on-the-wall-the-2022-rapture-gate-psalm-sign/
This would then, at the same time, give the Lord the needed time to possibly deal with the spirit of Baal abortion issue while the aforementioned pattern plays out???
But the other hopeful and heavyweight contender that I can see at this point is the Psalm 122 (2022) rapture. The 2024/2025 model is a vicious ground and pound expert and not to be fooled with, but the Psalm 122 rapture model is in your face and spitting blood, fire and lightning. Very powerful and hungry for the title and is not to be trifled with. If there were ever a major wink, wink for the rapture occurring anywhere in scripture signalling a year, it is this beast. This beastly beast. This beastly beast of all beasts.
THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON AND THE PROPHETIC PSALMS: DOES PSALM 122 SIGNAL THE RAPTURE IN 2022?

Watch out.
Dear Brother, I too shudder at the thought of the Rapture occurring later than even THIS YEAR. The convulsing of the earth has increased in such intensity that we are daily hearing of some impending catastrophe. Not that we are exempt from trouble, but because of the assurance of MULTIPLE dreams and visions, I believe we are on the precipice of what I call a Rapture Tsunami.
I share an update regarding more tsunami projections in my prior article, October Rapture Tsunami?
Thanks for sharing those links--I look forward to diving into the related articles you have shared!
