Countdown Time to a 2023 Rapture?

It is always my desire to express what is on the Father’s heart if He chooses to show me. With the recent April 20, 2023, hybrid (total/annular) solar eclipse that marked the anniversary of when Adolf Hitler, a type or foreshadowing of the Antichrist, it got me thinking about the 2017 Great American Total Solar Eclipse and how the United States will be crossed by yet another Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024.

 

“What would you have me write about these eclipses, Lord?” I prayed. I saw a prophetic connection with the three eclipses but needed clarity as to what the Spirit of the Lord was impressing on me. Then I believe He said to me, “To whom much is given; much is required” quoting in part from Luke 12:48. America covenanted with God and was given much. She was made to be the leader of all the nations only to turn her back on God and become the prime Babylon nation.

 

America—Daughter of Babylon

 

Prophecy Watchers Youtube Channel posted The Identity of Babylon on July 16, 2022, wherein Doug Woodward shares his belief the Scriptures teach there are 3 identities for Babylon—Daughter of Babylon, Mystery Babylon, and Babylon the Great. (His view would align with how Lucifer’s New World Order is a three-fold plan including a One World Economy-Religion-Government.)

 

At about the 41-minute mark in the video there is a wonderful chart outlining when each Babylon entity is destroyed. According to his chart, the Daughter of Babylon (America) will be destroyed just prior to the Book of Daniel’s 70^th Week or The Tribulation. This would align with James Smith’s wonderful video in which he harmonizes the Scriptures related to "The Sea and the Waves Roaring" showing there is a Great Convergence of destruction that includes America on the Day the Lord comes for us!

The Eclipse of Jonah

 

There are records that indicate there was a sign accompanying Jonah’s mission to Nineveh—a total solar eclipse. “Could the Bur-Sagale eclipse be part of the reason why Jonah, when he finally got to Nineveh, found a city that was serious about repentance? This has been suggested by various writers. . .”

 

Steve Fletcher pointed out in his recent videos the correlation of the April 20, 2023, hybrid solar eclipse with the Jonah eclipse (more on that later in this article). Then I saw the latest article posted by Corey at End Times Darkness Descending, THE ALEPH/TAHV DECLARATION AND THE GREEK CROSSED SWORDS, and it reminded me of how the two total solar eclipses over America form the Hebrew letter tav (or tahv).

 

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:

 

 

[Excerpt from readyandwatching.com]

 

The tav is the last letter in the Hebrew alphabet (The Passion Translation of Revelation 1:8 reads in part, “I am the Aleph and the Tav, the beginning and the ending”); so

it could be said the tav over America marks its end but to those who believe, it is the sign of His covenant promise of Eternity.

 

I believe what the Spirit is saying is that AMERICA WILL BE THE FIRST NATION JUDGED AS SIGNALED BY THE CROSSING TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSES, BUT THE APRIL 20 HYBRID SOLAR ECLIPSE (which was not visible in the United States) SIGNALS THAT THE REST OF THE WORLD WILL BE JUDGED as well for their part in coming against Israel (related: "Sign" Line Ends in 2022).

 

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. - Zechariah 12:2-3 KJV

 

Why a 2023 Rapture Countdown?

 

America’s destruction may indeed happen simultaneously with the removal of the Overcoming Church, however, this is not to say we must wait until the second eclipse in 2024 marks the United States with a tav or an “X” before we fly. It is my humble opinion the economic collapse and the Rapture will occur before then for several reasons.

 

The Scriptures indicate that those who are sealed with the Holy Spirit will be redeemed—rescued—before the Tribulation or 70^th Week of Daniel begins (see Saved from Wrath?) Both the 2017 Revelation 12 Sign and the Total Solar Eclipses, along with other factors, point to The 7-Year Tribulation beginning no later than 2024.

The Revelation 12 Great Wonder and Sign of the Woman

 

The 2017 Revelation 12 Sign foretold Israel and the world of the coming of Jacob’s Trouble and the removal of the Man Child/Bride of Christ from the earth. As is the case with several prophecies in the Scripture, Isaiah 66:7-8 will be fulfilled twice. It was fulfilled at the rebirth of Israel in 1948 and will have future fulfillment at the Rapture of the True Church. (See The Revelation 12 Sign Compendium regarding Isaiah 66:7-8.)

 

It is noteworthy that the 7^th Anniversary of the 2017 Revelation 12 Sign of the Woman or Great Wonder will occur September 23, 2024. The framework of Chapter 12 of Revelation is an overview of Jacob’s Trouble, The Tribulation:

 

The Tribulation Framework of Revelation 12

 

Rightly dividing and correctly identifying the characters in Revelation 12 is vital to interpreting Bible prophecy.  We know the Tribulation is called The Time of Jacob's Trouble in Jeremiah 30.  Jacob of course had real trouble during the seven-year famine and he was saved in the midst of it.  Likewise, Israel will be saved in the midst of the future Time of Jacob's Trouble.  Revelation 12 makes it clear that Israel will be protected for the full extent of the Great Tribulation, the last three and a half years (Rev. 12:6, 14).  This means, at least effectually, Israel's real trouble is only the first half of the seven-year Tribulation.

 

While a cursory glance at Revelation 12 leads some to see it as an entirely mid-tribulation passage, the details do not allow for this interpretation.  In fact, the passage is an overview of the entire Tribulation. Source: The Seven-Year Tribulations by Unsealed

 April 20, 2023, Antichrist Eclipse

 

If indeed 2023 is the year the Antichrist will arise as indicated by the research of Jarrett at Supernatural By Design YTC, that means the True Church must rise and meet the Lord Jesus in the air beforehand (see The Rapture in 2 Thessalonians 2:3).

 

In previous articles I’ve shared how some researchers think 2024 is when Father God will send His Son for His Bride, however, the Spirit of the Lord has been prophetically emphasizing Jonah and the great fish. In The Fish and the Dragon—Signs & Dreams of the Soon Rapture, I wrote:

 

After posting this article, STEVE FLETCHER shared his discovery of day counts associated with the American Total Solar Eclipses and the Hybrid Solar Eclipses pointing to the Jewish Day of Weddings known as Tu B’Av. This year Tu B’Av falls on August 2, which is interesting in light of the August 15 X-date given above. Also in his most recent video, 100% THE SIGN OF JONAS!!! APRIL 19-20, 2023 HYBRID SOLAR ECLIPSE, Steve shares evidence that the April 20, 2023, Hybrid Solar Eclipse is the Sign of Jonas:

 

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: - Matthew 12:39 KJV

 

On the same day I saw Will at Worship and Watch share a dream--Highest watch of all time this week! Rapture dream! Holy Spirit encouragement for watchmen!—that punctuated the significance of this eclipse and its connection with the Sign of Jonas with an exclamation mark!

 

I have learned to not set my heart on any particular date, but if world events keep escalating exponentially it is a real possibility that the April 20 “Haman 2.0” Hybrid Solar Eclipse may be God’s Jonah signal for a Tu B’Av harpazo or snatching up of the Bride of Christ!

 

Tu B’Av is when modern Israel celebrates the Feast of New Wine—the Day of Weddings—in the month of August. Luis B. Vega points out that the month of Av is traditionally a season of mourning contrary to celebrating a festival known as the Jewish Day of Weddings. In Postscripts #649 he presents evidence that the Rapture may possibly occur on the New Wine festival not in the month of Av or August but instead when Pentecost has “fully come” in the month of Tammuz or July.

Great American Total Solar Eclipses

 

Another 7 is seen in how many years it is between the 1^st and 2^nd Great American Total Solar Eclipse. Do these eclipses help us zero in on when our rescue happens?

 

Ann Graham Lotz is one of the few mainstream ministers that is acknowledging that the August 21 eclipse is an omen of coming judgment:

 

The sun will be turned to darkness…before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. Joel 2:31

A few years ago I was teaching through the book of Joel when the ancient words of his prophecy came up off the page. I knew with hair-raising certainty that God’s severe judgment was coming on America! I have taught Joel several times since.  Each time has served to confirm with deep conviction that God is warning America of impending disaster and destruction. [From Is God's Judgment Coming on America?]

 

The 2017 Great American Solar Eclipse was also a sign specifically reminding America of its spiritual connection with Israel as pointed out by Greg Lauer in The Valley of the Shadow of Death who does an excellent job of explaining the saga of the Salems. Therefore, the finalization of the Two-State Solution including the dividing of the “apple of God’s eye”, Jerusalem, I believe will be the catalyst for the destruction of Babylon America and the Great Convergence and the Rapture will occur.

 

With this in mind, consider that the 'x' that will be formed over the United States rests right over a region in southern Illinois called "Little Egypt".  Even more - the exact point where the two paths cross is in the town of Makanda, which used to be called the "Star of Egypt". Source: The Divine Message of the August Eclipse

 

Prophetic voices such as Chris Reed have been shown that when this Two State Solution is reached, a great earthquake in the middle of America will occur WHERE THE “X” OF THE TWO SOLAR ECLIPSES MEET! Prophetic voices have also said this earthquake will be associated with 3 Days of Darkness in which there will be a brief time for the lost to be reached and then the Rapture will occur shortly afterwards (see 2023 LIGHT at the End of the Dark Tracks and Prophesied Events Before the Rapture).

 

When the 2^nd Great American Total Solar Eclipse occurs in 2024 when the shadow of its path of totality will complete the “X” or tav over the United States, I believe it will mark “the end” of America as we know it for She will have already been given 7 years to repent. Her destruction, however, has already begun and as prophesied will become more evident while the Man Child/Bride is still on earth. It will be, in my opinion, the Rapture event that will hasten this once great nation’s demise; therefore, I speculate the Rapture will occur before the 2^nd Great American Total Solar Eclipse in 2024.

According to nationaleclipse.com the path of totality goes through 13 states. This prophetically points to the contrast of America’s original 13 states formed for religious freedom to worship God to its rebellion against God in modern history. The number 13 according to Bullinger's Number in Scripture means “rebellion, apostasy, defection, corruption, disintegration, revolution, or some kindred idea”.

 

The 2^nd Great American Total Solar Eclipse in 2024 occurs on April 8 or 4-8-2024. The number 4 represents the world and is “the number of Creation; of man in his relation to the world as created”. The number 4 “marks division”. Some point to this date speculating the Rapture will occur sometime after it; however, it is my belief the Righteous in Christ will have already been separated from “Egypt”; in other words, the world before then.

 

Joel 3:1-2 warns of the consequences to those nations who divide His land, so the Rapture will occur in God’s timing when He allows the nations to fulfill prophecy by dividing Jerusalem.

Fig Tree Nation turns 75 and the “X” Factors!

 

At sundown on April 25, 2023, Israel will begin the 24-hour long celebration of her 75^th Independence Day. Occurring on the 5^th day of the Hebrew month of Iyar, and called Yom HaAtzmaut in Hebrew, Israel Independence Day is immediately preceded by Yom HaZikaron, Israel’s Memorial Day, a joyous celebration following a solemn one. 

After remembering those who have fallen in the service of the Jewish state, Israelis will then celebrate Israel’s 75^th anniversary of their nation’s independence, which became official in 1948. Source: ifcj.org

 

The Description Box under Jarrett Griffin’s video at Supernatural By Design tells us : “In this fascinating video. . . we will discover that not only is the current PM of Israel "Bibi" born on an eclipse but so is the leader of Iran. The Fate of Israel, the Rapture of the Bride, and the Rise of the Antichrist Changes after 4/20/2023. . .”

 

There is wide agreement among dispensationalist and futurist scholars that the Parable of the Fig Tree that Jesus told His disciples in His Olivet Discourse was a prophecy of the rebirth of Israel because the fig tree represents national Israel in Scripture (e.g. 1 Kings 4:25, Jeremiah 24:5, Hosea 9:10, Matthew 21:18-20, Mark 11:12-14, Luke 3:7-9, 13:6-9, John 1:47-49).  The immediate context of the parable was the Time of Jacob's Trouble, also known as the Tribulation.  In other words, the generation that sees Israel reborn and the fig tree "put out its leaves" is the same generation that will see the completion of the Tribulation and the return of Jesus Christ. Source: Unsealed.org 

 

With the fig tree generation being now 75 years old as represented by Israel’s 2023 Anniversary, the 70^th Week of Daniel cannot be far off and we must fly!

 

April 20, 2023, was the Hybrid Solar Eclipse, five days later on April 25 was the 75^th Anniversary of Israel, and April 8 of 2024 is when the 2^nd Great Total Solar Eclipse forms an “X” over America. The economic fall of America could happen anytime in 2023—it is not looking possible for it to be held off until 2024 due to the “X” factors: a possible June fly-by of Planet X and the associated U.S. earthquake where “X” marks the spot, and the August “X” date (see the ‘Will a Great Shaking Cause it All to Fall in 2023?’ section of The Fish and the Dragon—Signs & Dreams of the Soon Rapture). And when the economic house falls we go up!

 

Not only will the economic “house” be falling at the time of the Rapture, but nuclear missiles, fallen angels, and meteorites/asteroids will also be coming down as we go up! (check out ‘The Great Heavenly Exchange’ section of The Revelation 12 Galactic Federation, The Great Re:Set, and The Rapture).

 

Also Chris Greene of AMTV YTC in an 11-minute long video is giving an urgent warning that we have only one to two months before Taiwan is invaded by China. It is my belief (and some have prophesied) that America will see nuclear war very soon after that.

WW3 and King Charles

 

In his most recent video (23 minutes long), Everything Is About To Change!, Jarrett at Supernatural By Design YTC tells why he believes World War 3 will begin in 2023.

 

A vision given to Henry Gruver in 1986 gives us a prophetic clue that the timing of America’s destruction by nuclear weaponry could be in 2023. At about 11 minutes into a video where Henry Gruver is speaking at the Prophecy Club, he shares how the Lord gave him the vision of Russian nuclear submarines while he was at Caernarfon Castle where years earlier Charles had been made Prince of Wales. This is significant as it could be linking the reign of Charles with the timing of Henry’s vision of the Russian nuclear attack on the United States and, therefore, the removal of the Bride of Christ.

 

This correlation seems confirmed by the 1982 vision Henry was given of Charles (which Henry shares at the 17-minute mark in the same video) where Charles announces, “Your nation is at war. . .and you must fight it without God.” The coronation ceremony of Charles as King of England is set for May 6, 2023, giving us a very possible 2023 “nuclear” Rapture scenario.

Messiah 2030

 

The icing on the Wedding Cake for the Bride of Christ is the coming forth of ancient documents recording events that give evidence that Y’shua Ha Moshiach, our Jesus, was the Final Passover Lamb in the year 30 C.E.

 

In his recent video, Return of Christ 2030 is Official!! New Information According to Ancient Hebrew Documents!, Bob Barber mirrored a clip from the Messiah 2030 Youtube Channel wherein segments of ancient records are shared indicating Jesus Christ was crucified and resurrected in 30 C.E. because the miracles that accompanied the Day of Atonement were no longer happening.

 

What this means is that 2,000 years since 30 C.E. will be the Second Coming of Jesus Christ the Messiah in 2030 (see the article TWO THOUSAND YEARS that explains further). Accordingly, the Tribulation must begin approximately 7 years prior to 2030—that is in 2023. While Messiah 2030 YTC might have been the first on Youtube to present this evidence of a 2030 Second Coming of Christ, I came across a website that reported this some years ago--windowview.org—which summarizes this information beautifully.

 

The most beautiful thing about a 2030 Second Coming, of course, is it means for those of us who are watching for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the True Church, we will be going Home THIS YEAR!

Why 2023 Is the Highest Rapture Watch Ever by T. W. Tramm

Our Brother T. W. Tramm lists 10 reasons why 2023 could be the year. #3 is my favorite:

3. ISRAEL’S 75th BIRTHDAY--2023 marks Israel’s 75th birthday. This is noteworthy because the father of Israel, Abraham, was 75 years old when he and his family entered the Promised Land in the year 2023 AM (Gen. 12:1–4). If the pattern repeats, Israel’s 75th birthday in 2023 AD could see the “sons of Abraham” by faith, believing Jews and Gentiles, enter the heavenly Promised Land (Gal. 3:7).
