The Christmas Star and the Rapture

 

Most Biblical scholars teach that the star that led the magi to Jesus was an astronomical event. (For example, the work on The Star of Bethlehem presented by Frederick Larson.) I believe there was indeed a sign in the heavens involving the planets and the King star Regulus announcing the birth of the Messiah, but in recent years I’ve been led to look deeper into what was the Christmas Star and believe it was a separate event from the great conjunction.

 

What renewed my interest in the Star was a prophesy through Brandon Dawson of the Tribe of Christians Ministry which I shared in THE ROAR, THE TRUMP, AND THE RETURN OF THE STAR:

 

Brandon described how on September 25, 2023, he was caught up in the Spirit and witnessed events in Heaven that surrounded the time of the Rapture and the start of the Tribulation.

He tells how he was taken to Jerusalem and was shown a Star. At the 5:27 minute mark he says,

“It all began with

a sign that emerged in the skies. It was

a star that appeared similar to the time

of the birth of Jesus and the entire

world was shaken at the emergence of the

star. Every single major world religion

looked to the star and they received it

as a sign of the coming Messiah and all

this began in Jerusalem. . .”

Because his experience was not in linear time, but Eternal time, it’s unclear whether this Star appears before or after the Rapture. . .

 

In The Sceptre Star and the Revelation 12 Birth of the Man Child I shared the many prophecies of a star-like comet plummeting to earth on the day of the Rapture. But could the Christmas Star be a comet or a conjunction of heavenly bodies?

 

I've come across more research based on people asking themselves some basic questions--like how could a natural astronomical body pinpoint a particular place as the Christmas Star did for the magi in Matthew 2:9—

 

When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. - Matthew 2:9 KJV

 

This is not possible for a natural astronomical body—to stand over one specific home. While outside my house on December 21, 2020, gazing up at what the world was calling “another Bethlehem Star”, I was able to clearly view the conjunction overhead as it was a beautiful starry night. But I noticed that as I walked up the hill of my driveway the brilliant planets first appeared over the farmhouse next door then they seemed to stand over a different house when I got to the top of the driveway. So how could the Bethlehem Star stand over where Jesus was?

 

Contrary to popular opinion, the star was probably not a typical event in the heavens (e.g., supernova, planetary alignment, comet, etc.) Instead, it was truly a miraculous and special star. . . Source: Christmas Timeline of the Biblical Account | Answers in Genesis

 

Here’s an excerpt from an article by Dr. Danny R. Faulkner (An Evaluation of The Star of Bethlehem DVD) that explains further:

 

If the star of Bethlehem was not a planetary alignment and conjunction with a star, then what was it? The only record we have of the star is Matthew 2. . .

The Matthew 2 text suggests that the star wasn’t always visible to the magi, nor was it necessarily visible to others. This suggests that the star may have been a localized object specifically fashioned as a message to the magi. This supernatural object would not be bound by the motions of objects normally found in the sky, and thus its odd behavior, such as appearing over where Jesus was, is easy to explain. In short, the star of Bethlehem likely was a unique and miraculous local apparition to fulfill God’s purpose and one of the ordained purposes for stars to be for signs as in Genesis 1:14. This is not unusual, for the Lord used the Shekinah glory to guide Israel in the wilderness.

 

In the video Christmas Special 2022 - Derek Walker explains why he believes the Star of Bethlehem was actually the GLORY OF GOD RETURNING TO ISRAEL. You will want to begin at the 12:17-minute mark for this which includes a moving account of why the newborn Jesus being placed in a manger was a sign to the shepherds (Luke 2:12). Derek points out how stars normally move east to west HOWEVER this star moved west to east!

 

In Matthew 2 we read of the magi making their journey but the glorious star has disappeared by now. Once they arrive in Jerusalem and meet with Herod the star reappears. This is why they rejoiced!

 

When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. - Matthew 2:9-10 KJV

 

This is no ordinary star or conjunction of planets! It leads them directly to where the young child was (Matthew 2:9). Derek Walker came to the same conclusion Danny Faulkner (and others) have—the Christmas Star was an angelic or some other type of supernatural manifestation of the glory of God!

 

As I wrote in THE ROAR, THE TRUMP, AND THE RETURN OF THE STAR what transpires in Israel—especially Jerusalem—is the key to when the Star will reappear. If the first Christmas Star was the manifest presence of God’s glory perhaps the Star will be brilliantly displayed once again as the Dispensation of Grace ends and the Visitation of God by way of His Wrath begins. The Wrath or 7-year Tribulation is also called Jacob’s Trouble for this is when God will turn His attention once again to Jacob/Israel to lead them into salvation. So the Tribulation will be experienced by the natural born Israelites who have not yet accepted Yahshua, our Jesus, as their Messiah:

 

This period of time will be Israel's most trying time ever... There shall be great tribulation in Israel such as never was since there was a nation (Daniel 12:1). It will also be a time when G-d will ultimately judge sin and all the nations on the earth. Through it, the nation of Israel will be physically saved from total destruction by G-d, and will, as a nation, accept Yeshua as the Messiah. "...But he shall be saved out of it" (Jeremiah 30:7)...[excerpt from page 113 of The Seven Festivals of the Messiah by Edward Chumney]

“I pray that we see another Hannukah miracle here in the UN.”

The world is on the precipice of Jacob’s Trouble beginning as witnessed by the December 12, 2023, United Nations General Assembly vote to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

 

“In the short term, a ceasefire is an essential precondition for urgently stabilising the humanitarian situation in Gaza. To ensure the basic safety and needs of the civilian population, especially women and children in Gaza in the longer term, consultations and preparations must now be launched towards the deployment of an international protective presence in the entire Occupied Palestinian Territory under the supervision of the UN,” the experts said. Source: UN experts urge States to unite for peace and push for ceasefire in Gaza 08 December 2023

 

Take note of the language directed against Israel used here just days before the vote: “. . . preparations must now be launched towards the deployment of an international protective presence in the entire Occupied Palestinian Territory under the supervision of the UN”. The nations are DEMANDING that Israel abandon land that is Scripturally their inheritance.

 

“The people of Gaza are looking into the abyss.  The international community must do everything possible to end their ordeal,” he said, urging the Security Council to push for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, the protection of civilians and the urgent delivery of life-saving aid.  At the same time, he added, the international community must not lose sight of the only viable possibility for a peaceful future — a two-State solution. “This is vital for Israelis, Palestinians and for international peace and security,” he said. ANTÓNIO GUTERRES, Secretary-General of the United Nations

 

For the sake of any new readers, let me reiterate—Israel is the key to the Rapture Door.

 

Since the UN General Assembly voted to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza on Tuesday and the Biden administration is pressuring Israel with a 2023 deadline to end the conflict, will God allow the nations to force a peace agreement this winter which will inevitably divide Israel further including the Holy City of Jerusalem?

 

If so, a series of events will ensue and the Resurrection and Rapture of the True Church will result as sudden destruction comes upon the nations! Either a comet or the miraculous Star of Bethlehem will appear (or both) and all will be in wonder and awe. The religious realm will believe it is a sign that their Messiah or Mahdi is coming when in reality the greatest trouble ever seen with a capital “T” as in Jacob’s Trouble will befall the world. 

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. - Matthew 24:21 KJV

 

December 13 began the Hebrew month of Tevet. Jarrett at Supernatural By Design explained in WE ARE FINALLY HERE!!! The Season of the Esther Rapture! how currently the Book of Esther is being played out once again and that Esther was given a 7-day wedding feast during the month of Tevet—a magnificent prophetic parallel to the Wedding Feast of the Heavenly Bride to her Lord and King Jesus Christ!

 

When the King extended his sceptre to Esther it was to show his favor and resulted in him granting her wish. Could it be that on the Day of the Rapture, a Comet or Sceptre Star, will be extended toward us, the Bride, thus granting our greatest desire--to be with our KING forever!

In light of the fact that the US is increasingly alone in Israel support as 153 countries vote for ceasefire at UN, End Times: Darkness Descending has posted a very encouraging and enlightening article—BREAKING PROPHECY ALERT: THE 153 INGATHERING AND “COMBAT NAVAL TASK FORCE 153”.

Lo, He Comes!

All I could do was weep as I entered the Lord’s presence recently. David in Psalm 119:20 gives an apt description of my state of mind—“My soul is consumed with longing. . .” My very being—body, soul, and spirit—longed for Him. “When, dear Jesus, when will You come for us?” was my heart’s cry. This is the yearning of the Bride of Christ—the Man Child—the True Church.

 

My Soul Longs for You

It was this time of year—the Season of Lights or the Feast of Dedication better known as Hanukkah—when Yahshua, our Jesus, spoke of us, His “other sheep”:

 

I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine. -As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. - And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd. - John 10:14-16 KJV

 

And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. -And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. - John 10:22-23 KJV

 

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. - John 10:28 KJV

 

The word bring in John 10:16 is translated from agō which means “to lead by accompanying to (into) a place”. Then a few chapters later Jesus speaks of the Place where He will bring us:

 

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 you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. - John 14:2-3 KJV

 

Jesus promises to come back and receive us unto Himself. Receive is from paralambano and can be used to mean “to join to one's self [as a] companion”. The first time this Greek word is used is referring to the union of Joseph and Mary:

 

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take[G3880] unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. - Matthew 1:20 KJV

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took[G3880] unto him his wife: - Matthew 1:24 KJV

 

Birthing and Hanukkah

 

There is much expectation of a Hanukkah Rapture this year. This is understandable for there is even a connection to birthing with this festival! When I was a young mother I had a book by Zola Levitt titled The Seven Feasts of Israel paralleling the seven feasts of the Messiah with the stages of human gestation.

 

Although Chanukah (or Hanukkah) is not one of the seven appointed feasts, Zola makes this remarkable statement related to it:

 

“… If we go all the way into … a full-term pregnancy, we land on the 25th day of the month Kislev. We now have 10 Jewish months of 28 days, or 280 days, which is a full-term pregnancy, and that day is Chanukah, the Feast of Rededication, or new life; and that is the birth day.” shalomministry.com

It’s All About Israel

The Rapture and WW3

 

According to many dreams and visions the Day of Our Departure is associated with nuclear world war. It is possible this third world war is not the Ezekiel 38 war but that it is interconnected—a war within a War so to speak. Has World War 3 already begun? I was of the opinion that a nuclear attack on America would mark the beginning of the next world war. Then I watched Jarrett’s video at Supernatural By Design and remembered, It’s All About Israel.

 

Jarrett brings to life how Israel is our timepiece in the countdown to our last days or hours on earth as he explains the October 7 attack on Israel marks the beginning of World War 3 (WW3) which will result in the soon Rapture.

He demonstrates through a pattern of celestial signs that we are in the time frame of the Rapture: "If Venus is in the constellation Taurus at the moment of a solar eclipse, then three calendar years later when Venus is entering into Leo, war breaks out."

 

Starting at 6:50 minutes into the video Jarrett gives a 4th historical example. On May 31, 67 AD, a solar eclipse occurred and Venus was in the constellation of Taurus. Three years later Venus was in Leo when war broke out and the 2nd Temple was destroyed! With this 4^th example in the historical and celestial pattern and the result of WW1 and WW2 being the establishment of Israel as a nation, then WW3 will result in the establishment of the 3rd Temple. 

 

Our Brother in Christ concludes that this WW3 scenario may be slow moving but it's going to increase and specifically that Russia and China will take out America thus removing the protection over Israel and opening the flood gates for Ezekiel 38 and somewhere in there the rebuilding of the Third Temple.

Neither will I hide my face any more from them. . . said the Lord GOD. Ezekiel 39:29 AKJV

What is God Waiting For?

 

It seems the Spirit is saying to the Church that God is not going to allow full-fledged nuclear world war. . . yet. In October 14 & 22, 2023 Israel Prophecy Dr. Patricia Green prophesied "The plan is to cause this war to become a war of many nations but I will stop this and not permit it. . . Israel will have great victory over the Hamas." (Also see the prophetic word given by The Kindling in my article The Two-State Solution then the Birth of the Man Child? )

 

But what is God waiting for? 

 

Like Jarrett, I admit I do not have all the details figured out. Perhaps God is waiting for the Great Shaking His prophets have been foretelling to bring in the Last Harvest before the Rapture. 

 

The Great Shaking is likely associated with the Two-State Solution which I believe will be announced pre-Rapture then (according to Daniel 9:27) be confirmed post-Rapture by “the prince of the people” (or the “little horn” better known as the Antichrist according to this commentary). This covenant will most likely allow for the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple.

 

And he shall confirm[gāḇar] the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. - Daniel 9:27 KJV

 

Gāḇar refers to confirming or strengthening something that already exists as in the waters that prevailed in the flood:

 

And the waters prevailed,[gāḇar] and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. - Genesis 7:18 KJV

 

The waters were already there but increased. Therefore, it is my understanding that Daniel 9:27 means the Antichrist strengthens or makes more firm an already agreed upon covenant.

 

I believe the covenant that will already be in place is an agreement incorporating the Two-State Solution. Last year in The Birth and the Star I wrote about how Jarrett at Supernatural By Design showed the celestial and historical pattern pointing to the rise of the Antichrist in 2023! And since we are in the season associated with an Antichrist type (Antiochus Epiphanes and Hanukkah), we could very well see this come to pass as Lisa Boyce, Watchwoman 65, recently reported. Referring to a CBN News report, she shared that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave Israel "weeks" to finish the job of destroying Hamas and again pushed the Two-State Solution.

Earth Rang Like a Bell 11-11

Bell is Ringing for Peace & Safety!

 

In a video posted last night Lisa reported that United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterras has invoked Article 99:

 

UN chief makes a rare move to formally warn Security Council of global danger from Israel's war on Gaza, invoking an article that has not been used for decades.

 

The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has struck a rare and powerful alarm bell in a letter to the Security Council warning that he expects public order "to completely break down soon" in besieged Gaza.

 

The comments came in a letter written by Guterres on Wednesday invoking Article 99 of the UN's charter, which states that "the Secretary-General may bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security." Source: trtworld.com

 

For the sake of “international peace and security” the UN is demanding a ceasefire in the Middle East. Can the forcing of the Two-State Solution be far behind?

 

Four being the number for the WORLD, Jarrett's 4 historical examples of WORLD events matching God's celestial 'if-then' pattern strongly supports the end of the WORLD as we know it—not the end of the existence of Earth, but the Earth and world will be drastically upended. The Bride of Christ will only experience the TRANSITIONAL SHAKING as the world quickly transitions from the Dispensation of Grace to the Tribulation.

 

In describing his most recent video WE ARE FINALLY HERE!!! The Season of the Esther Rapture! Jarrett writes, “In this video "We Are Finally Here" we will continue the theme outlined in God's celestial signs pointing to the story of Esther as a prophetic outline for end-time events and including the rapture. To that point, why 2023 is still a wonderful candidate for the rapture!!”

 

Whether the October 7 attack on Israel is akin to "the shot heard 'round the world" marking the beginning of WW3 or not, it is of great prophetic significance! Greg Lauer correctly refers to it as the puff of smoke from the Harpazo Express Train coming within view! Are the tears of longing and travail we’re experiencing indicative that we are on the precipice of our transition Homeward? Indeed, could we finally be seeing the Rapture Door in this Hebrew year of the door—5784?! I believe so.

 

Could it be as soon as 2023? The key is in what happens next with Israel. . .

May we celebrate together in the air, dear Family!

 

THE ROAR, THE TRUMP, AND THE RETURN OF THE STAR

With all that is happening in Israel and the mounting talks of nuclear war, many of us hoped we would see the manifestation of Phillip Barnett's Azovmena prophecy and be Raptured on November 11. It must be said, however, the Lord never told Phillip the year in which the prophecy would be fulfilled.

 

At first I was quite down-hearted about this, but God is so faithful, so good. Through His Holy Spirit have come dreams and visions about the soon TRUMP OF GOD sounding to call us Home and the return of the SIGN OF THE STAR.

Another Bethlehem Star?

 

On May 23, 2024, there will be another conjunction like the Bethlehem Star. Many scholars teach that the Star of Bethlehem or Christ Star was the result of the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus. Luis Vega has shared his research on this subject and explained in a series of comments at Revelation 12 Daily how this itself is not a rare event, but it is the constellation associated with this conjunction that makes it stand out:

 

The Christ Star in 2024 will occur in the Constellation of Taurus, in what one calls a ‘Triangulation’ with the Sun and the Pleiades. This is where the Conjunction becomes rather Interesting as the Pleiades signals the 7 Churches of Asia. Or how it has been or is a Euphemism for the entire Church Age and the Bride, etc. The Mystery of the 7 Stars, as in the Corresponding Celestial Star Cluster of the Pleiades, are those that Jesus holds in His Hands, etc. And the Typology is that of also being a Menorah with the 7 Corresponding Lights. So, although this Iteration of the Christ Star is not like the ones in 2015 and 2016 that occurred in Leo and in -3 BC, one surmises that this Conjunction of Jupiter and Venus at the Pleiades is pertaining to the Church.

 

He conjectures that this sign possibly points to the Rapture of the Church occurring in 2024 at the Festival of New Wine as explained in his book Pentecost New Wine as well as in an article at Five Doves.

 

In 2021 I wrote The Sceptre Star and the Revelation 12 Birth of the Man Child wherein I posed the question of whether the Christ Star was this conjunction alone OR was there a comet involved? I had forgotten about that article until today as I listened to a video posted by Brandon Dawson at The Tribe of Christians--The Lord Showed Me Who The Two Witnesses Are, Vision of Tribulation Period. In it Brandon described how on September 25, 2023, he was caught up in the Spirit and witnessed events in Heaven that surrounded the time of the Rapture and the start of the Tribulation.

 

He tells how he was taken to Jerusalem and was shown a Star. At the 5:27 minute mark he says,

“It all began with

a sign that emerged in the skies. It was

a star that appeared similar to the time

of the birth of Jesus and the entire

world was shaken at the emergence of the

star. Every single major world religion

looked to the star and they received it

as a sign of the coming Messiah and all

this began in Jerusalem. . .”

 

Because his experience was not in linear time, but Eternal time, it’s unclear whether this Star appears before or after the Rapture, but you can see how this reminded me of the dreams and visions recorded in The Sceptre Star and the Revelation 12 Birth of the Man Child.

 

“It all began in Jerusalem,” Brandon said. As we continue in this article, we will see how Jerusalem is the KEY that opens the Revelation 4:1 Rapture Door to Heaven.

The Trump of God

 

Tim Henderson recently posted a video wherein he shared two messages that came to him on the same day--JESUS SAYS TRUMP SOON!! "RAPTURE SOON Revealed by Yeshua with Confirmation. WFS!!" Two sources had the same dream of Jesus telling them the trump of God will soon be calling Those in Christ Home!

The word “trump” or “trumpet” used in the New Testament is translated from the Greek word salpigx. As I studied this word, I saw something very prophetic in the Strong’s notes that greatly encouraged me:

 

σάλπιγξ sálpinx, sal'-pinx; perhaps from G4535 (through the idea of quavering or reverberation); a trumpet:—trump(-et).

G4535 corresponds to the Greek word salos:

σάλος, σάλου, ὁ, the tossing or swell of the sea (R. V. billows): Luke 21:25.

 

The sounding of the trump or trumpet in all the New Testament verses appear to be connected with Luke 21:25—

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; - Luke 21:25 KJV

 

The context of Luke 21:25 is things leading up to the Second Coming of Christ and this verse lists the things the Spirit is pointing to—signs in the STARS and THE ROAR OF THE NATIONS. So as we see them beginning, Those in Christ are to LOOK UP for our redemption is near as verse 28 exhorts!

 

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

 

THE POINT I AM MAKING HERE IS THAT THE 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16 ‘TRUMP OF GOD’ MAY BE SOUNDED AS THE SEA AND THE WAVES ARE ROARING, which can also refer to when the nations (Revelation 17:15) are in an uproar! The Lord emphasized this to me as I explain in Season of the Sea Roaring:

 

The nations are roaring as the principalities and powers over them are being stirred up in anticipation of their “great hour”. Fear not the disorder and chaos, dear one, for I AM in control of what they will be allowed to do.

As you saw in the dream, the people are unaware of what is happening around them. This is the third time you have seen the tsunamis. Yes, everything is complete and in place for My End Time Plans. Be patient and see what I will do to complete My Plan for man. I AM the King of Salvation and I WILL oversee the completion of My Salvation Plan. . . 

 

WHEN Will the Roar of the Nations Peak?

WHEN WILL THE ROAR OF THE NATIONS PEAK? AT THE TIME OF ZECHARIAH 12:2—

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. - Zechariah 12:2 KJV

 

A Commentary by A. R. FAUSSET reads--

2. cup of trembling--a cup causing those who drink it to reel (from a Hebrew root "to reel"). . . CALVIN with the Septuagint translates, "threshold of destruction," on which they shall stumble and be crushed when they attempt to cross it. 

 

Israel is between a rock and a hard place as the saying goes. In their fight to defend themselves, The Powers That Be have made sure that the media and the United Nations projects Israel as the enemy of the world. This will contribute to the uproar for a solution and the dividing of the Holy City Jerusalem, the cup of trembling.

 

It is my belief we will soon witness the scenario I wrote about in The Birth and the Star:

 

Divide Israel and America Will Be Divided

News of recent secret meetings bolsters my belief in these prophecies coming to pass very soon. In Pastor Paul’s Interview With MFATW Secret Meetings Russia Positioning By Force 12:15:22 Mike From Around The World (MFATW)—an insider frequently interviewed by Paul Begley—explains that in a secret meeting incoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was told he must accept the Two State Solution and agree to part the land back to the 1967 borders and also divide Jerusalem!

“Negotiation time is over. Everything is by force on a global scale.”

Awake! Awake! By Beckah Shea

On Day 42 of Israel at war the IDF ELIMINATES Hamas Command Centers as reported by CBN Israel. Could we be near the end of this conflict? As Stephen Dexter’s dream indicated, the normal course of action after war is a peace deal. It is possible that very soon Israel will be involved in some type of agreement involving Jerusalem. The nations have already been clamoring for a Two State Solution to the Middle East war.

 

Jerusalem, the cup of trembling, will be at the center of the sea and the waves roaring—the nations in an uproar. This will only be the beginning of the distress of nations, with perplexity but it is the KEY to when the TRUMP OF GOD SOUNDS!

 

SO I SAY, “REJOICE!” for the roar of the nations will soon be drown out by the SHOUT of our Heavenly Bridegroom and the TRUMP OF GOD and We who are In Christ shall meet Him in the air!

 

The Two-State Solution then the Birth of the Man Child?

“The baby is going to be birthed when I say so.”

 

“This is not the season when we move into World War 3—yet,” said Mark at The Kindling ten days ago in his 6-minute video Is this the End? Of course, listening to either the mainstream or alternative news media lately has most people believing we are already in a world war or will be momentarily.

 

As this Brother in Christ continued, he shared how when in prayer with his wife the Lord said to him, “The baby is going to be birthed when I say so.” Mark knew that this was a reference to Revelation 12 and the catching away of the Man Child. Satan desires to have us gone so that he can have his season, however, God is not going to allow the overreach of Satan to hurry the Lord’s timeline. Mark based his understanding of this from the word the Lord gave him and also a recent dream.

Of course, we must judge any words given through brethren. I have quoted this Brother before in my article Prophesied Events Before the Rapture because he received the same word I was given:

 

“We are gonna see some things before the Rapture. . .

We’re going to have a little bit of a ride!

This is NOT The Tribulation,

but a SHAKING is coming to get our unsaved loved ones SAVED!”

 

I must admit it has looked like we are on the precipice of world war, but perhaps Mark has accurately shared the Lord’s heart. I have earnestly been watching what happens as Israel has been at war and have kept praying for the Lord to give me understanding for He had revealed events that would play out before the Bride of Christ would be Raptured—that first the Two-State Solution would be agreed upon. All this would align with Stephen Dexter’s dream of a 9/11-type of attack on Israel resulting in a peace deal as shared in Israel at War & the Rapture.

 

Peace via Two States

 

Peace with the Two-State Solution being the path to end the current Middle East war is now being called for:

 

October 21, 2023

Russia and Turkey were quick to call for a return to the Two-State Solution as an answer to the conflict as reported by Watchwoman 65 in "THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THIS FIGHT IS FOR A TWO-STATE SOLUTION"--PUTIN AND ERDOGAN posted October 21, 2023.

 

Jordan’s King Abdullah II called for an immediate end to the war on Gaza at the Cairo Peace Summit:

Our collective and unified message to the Israeli people should be: We want a future of peace and security for you and for the Palestinians, where your children and Palestinian children should no longer live in fear.

It is our duty as the international community to do whatever it takes to restart a meaningful political process that can take us to a just and sustainable peace on the basis of the two-state solution.

The only path to a safe and secure future for the people of the Middle East and the entire world — for the Jewish people, for Christians, for Muslims alike — starts with the belief that every human life is of equal value and it ends with two states, Palestine and Israel, sharing land and peace from the river to the sea.

To ease epic suffering, make the delivery of aid easier and safer, and facilitate the release of hostages, I reiterate my appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.”

How much further will the conflict go? Will God allow the war in the Middle East to escalate into a world conflict or will a ceasefire based on a Two-State Solution be agreed upon leading to the prophesied Great Shaking?

 

The Jerusalem Post published a surprising announcement that the Abraham Accords here to stay despite war, says Emirati official: “The Abraham Accords are not at risk amid the war between Israel and Hamas, said Dr. Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi, chairman of the Defense, Interior, and Foreign Affairs Committee of the United Arab Emirates Federal National Council on Tuesday, according to the European Jewish Press.”

 

All this talk of war reminded me of this word from the Lord:

Will you obey Me in these days ahead?

Do not be afraid in the coming days. I am with you in all things—ALL things. FEAR NO ONE AND NO THING! Be brave. Be courageous. Be who I have called you to be!

For truly I have created you for this Time. I have created you to be fearless! Unstoppable! Unwavering in your convictions knowing that the Day of the Lord is at hand.

Fear nothing my daughters and sons!

I have called you to go forth in the darkest hour before the dawn to be My light in the world doubting nothing.

Yes, truly I am coming for you my dearest One. So have no fear as the clouds of war surround you. Remember I am coming IN THE CLOUDS—

Clouds of Glory as the

clouds of war erupt!

Clouds of Righteousness as the

clouds of destruction arise!

Clouds of Holiness as the

clouds of anger and wrath emit from the Dragon!

Oh, HALLELU-JAH!

I will lift you with My holy hand—the one you saw in the visions I gave you.

I have a place prepared especially for you; for each one of My Beloveds. A place of peace and beauty filled with love—My love, pure and holy for My Beloved.

Go forth knowing all these things. Be assured of My love and My presence with you no matter how dark it gets. You are My light holding back the darkness.

Oh, HALLELU-JAH!

 

However God allows world events to go, they are falling in place and our Redemption is truly near!

Israel at War and the Rapture

Prophesied Events Before the Rapture

It is Time—A Word for the ‘Dawn Treaders’

Is the Rapture Earned? (Begin at “The Big Squeeze & Time of Great Trouble” section)

Israel at War & the Rapture

 

 

A few weeks ago I learned that on September 29, 1923, we were to cross the threshold of the 100^th Anniversary of Israel “coming into the land God gave them” (Leviticus 25:2) when the League of Nations approved the mandate establishing Palestine as the Jewish National Home. I remember thinking, “This marker will undoubtedly indicate end time events will come exponentially faster!” And sure enough, as Israelis were wrapping up the seven-day-long Jewish festival of Sukkot on Saturday, October 7, the attack from Hamas came. (For more about the history of “Palestinians” see: J. D. Farag Prophecy Update – December 17th, 2017).

 

Does this exponential speediness in last days events mean a 2023 Rapture?

 

Knowing the Lord has revealed certain things will occur prior to the Rapture, I find myself wondering whether it is possible they could all come to pass before 2023 ends. But if “that great city Babylon” can be destroyed in an hour (Revelation 18:10), then perhaps all that has been prophesied to happen before the Rapture will occur almost as swiftly.

 

Let’s look at the many things converging upon October-November 2023 pointing to a possible 2023 Rapture:

 

1—Corpus Christi EXIT Eclipse

 

It is my hope that the October 14 Annular Solar Eclipse—dubbed the “Corpus Christi Rapture Eclipse” by my professor friend Luis B. Vega—is the last celestial sign before the Resurrection/Rapture. In Postscripts #747 Lu shares his research and conclusions regarding what I pray is our FINAL EXIT SIGN.

 

Additionally, there has been substantial predictive programming related to this eclipse (as shared by Corporal Joe Bauers). Many Brethren hope it marks the EXIT RAMP for the Resurrection/Rapture.

 

2—Biden to relinquish Presidency to Harris by October 31?

 

Next News Network reported that Biden will resign between Labor Day, SEPTEMBER 4 and Halloween, OCTOBER 31, 2023. If he does this and confers the Presidency to Kamala Harris, this could be the fulfillment of a 1933 prophecy and the final sign of the Daughter of Babylon America’s destruction (see PRESIDENT KAMALA & SUDDEN DESTRUCTION for further explanation).

 

3—Deadline for the next possible government shutdown is November 17.

 

At the eleventh hour, the last day of September 2023, Congress approved a Continuing Resolution that will temporarily keep the government open for 45 more days. That deadline is November 17.

 

Why this is a big deal is explained in Government Shutdown Alert: Moody’s Just Issued a BIG Warning on the U.S. Economy:

 

Both Fitch and S&P Global cited political dysfunction in Washington, D.C. and growing debt concerns as the main reasons for their lowered U.S. credit ratings. Fitch noted the continual political brinkmanship that takes place with regards to raising the ceiling on the federal debt (which now stands at $33 trillion) as well as growing risks that the U.S. might default on its debt payments — a historic event that would destabilize the global economy and send stocks into a tailspin. Now, Moody’s is raising those same concerns.

 

In AS IT ALL COMES DOWN, WE GO UP! I share my belief that the Lord has revealed that the Rapture will occur as the economy crashes.

 

4—Israel at war and the significant date of November 11, 2023

 

The globalists are putting their end game into action. Remember they are behind the war scene—especially world wars.

 

Hundreds of miles away in Tampa, Florida, I was informed of a pro-Hamas rally, also expressing jubilation over Israelis being killed. Muslims also rallied in support of Hamas terrorists in America’s largest cities, New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Muslims are also celebrating in Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran and Turkey (a NATO member), among other places. This single event in Israel has triggered them and they will launch more attacks on Jews and Christians around the world.

So it would be a mistake to view what happened in Israel as something “over there.”

It can and will happen here. In the U.S. and many European countries, the hordes are not standing at the gates, they’re inside the gates, waiting for their zero-hour event. This may be it. . .  Source: leohohmann.com

 

While we watch as the war develops surrounding Israel to see what nations get involved to determine if this will become the Psalm 83 War, our minds wonder, “But is it this war that triggers nuclear war in America?”

 

Let me remind you of a dream from 2022:

 

Stephen Dexter shared a dream he believes is from the Lord Jesus Christ in his 20-minute video posted March 6, 2022--Prophetic Dream (Israel/Iran) and WW3 (Russia/Ukraine). At about the 10-minute mark in his video Stephen tells his dream given to him a few years ago before the plandemic. It was Wintertime in the dream and thousands of people (who were not wearing masks) came running by and told him volcanoes were erupting somewhere. His Dad shows up in the dream and says there was a 9/11-type attack on Israel adding, “So much for the peace deal happening”. Stephen replied, “That’s going to be the thing that forces them to have to sign a peace deal.” From: The Damascus Domino and the Rapture

 

What have we been seeing all over the media? That the October 7 attack is Israel’s 9/11! In the dream as Stephen’s Dad says there was a 9/11-type attack on Israel he adds, “So much for the peace deal happening.” Stephen replies, “That’s going to be the thing that forces them to have to sign a peace deal.”

 

And guess what season it is in Israel—Winter! There are two distinct seasons: a cool, rainy winter (October–April) and a dry, hot summer (May–September).

 

Thank you, Lord, for revealing to Your people what is to come! This war in Israel—whatever war it is—may be the thing that forces the signing of the Arab-Israeli normalization agreement which will include—drum roll please—the Two-State Solution! As I have shared before, God has revealed the Two-State Solution is the key domino leading to the Catching Away of the Bride of Christ! IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS IS THE SCENARIO NOW PLAYING OUT IN ISRAEL! 

Hal Turner reported October 9 that Netanyahu Warns he will "Destroy Damascus if Hezbollah Enters War" and at 1:21 PM EDT today ABC News reported “Israel and Hezbollah were openly exchanging fire at the northern border earlier in the day. Initially, I thought it possible that the Church could witness the obliteration of Damascus, HOWEVER, a study of Jeremiah 49 shows that when Damascus is destroyed “in that day” it is associated with the Day of the Lord and Jacob’s Trouble:

 

Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; [there is] sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet. Damascus is waxed feeble, [and] turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on [her]: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail. - Jeremiah 49:23-24 KJV

Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts. - Jeremiah 49:26 KJV

 

In Events Before the Rapture I propose that there may be a link between the fall of DAMASCUS and BABYLON and that the Rapture will occur as the sudden destruction of Babylon begins.

 

This brings us to why November 11 may be important. (For additional dreams and visions related to the Fall of 2023, read the “SIGNS POINTING TO A NOVEMBER 2023 RAPTURE?” section of 5784 AND THE RAPTURE DOOR.)

 

November 11, 2023

 

It is not absolutely established that 2030 is the year our Lord will return to earth and split the Mount of Olives, but Those Who Are Watching for His Appearing are hoping it is the year (as discussed in previous articles) because it would mean a 2023 Rapture. Assuming a 2030 Day of Atonement Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, both Aaron at God A Minute and Tyler at Generation 2434 have done videos where they calculate from Yom Kippur 2030 (October 6) backwards 2520 days (the length of the Tribulation) and it lands on NOVEMBER 11 or 12, 2023.

 

In the Azovmena prophecies November 11 was foretold to be the date when Russia and America will enter nuclear war. A myriad of Brethren have been shown that when nuclear missiles come down, we go up in the Rapture! Perhaps we will see the Azovmena prophecy given through Phillip Barnett (whose previous prophecies have been accurate) play out before our eyes:

 

At the 26:29 minute-mark of this ENDTIME DREAM & VISION video (which mirrored a good bit of the original video) Phillip Barnett proclaims, "The nuclear war between Russia and the United States will take place after the Rapture of the Church. . .”

 

As the clip continues, he explains his belief that BEFORE the Rapture the Psalm 83 war in the Middle East will take place and also the Isaiah 17 nuclear destruction of Damascus. Then he adds, “This is going to happen soon”. 

 

But what caused my jaw to drop was what he prophesied at the 27:55-minute mark—on NOVEMBER 11 (or 11-11!!!) nuclear war between Russia and the United States will take place!!! No year was given, but the Lord told him the reason it will start then is because it is the date that the Mayflower Compact was made—the covenant between America and God over 400 years ago. Of course, America has since broken that covenant! Excerpts from Is 11-11 the Date of the Rapture?

Also related and noteworthy is that the World War 1 Armistice was signed "On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918” AND the 1973 Yom Kippur War finally ceased on October 26 with Israel signing a formal cease-fire agreement with Egypt on November 11.

 

The War Rapture Scenario

 

To add to that jaw-dropper is Jarrett’s War Rapture research at Supernatural By Design of God’s celestial signs that indicates the next world war would begin when the planet Venus was in the constellation Leo between September 25 and November 1, 2023. In We Knew This Would Happen - War Confirmation - Venus Entered Into Leo - Israel & WW3 Jarrett rightly says, “Judgment is coming for America. . . I expect a full-blown war to occur very soon and a surprise attack.”

 

I thought it noteworthy also that at 13:50 minutes into the video Jarrett shares his belief that the Rapture will most likely NOT be on a feast day but will be a surprise holiday as in the account of Esther (especially Esther 2:18) adding how the story of Esther parallels 2023 events. If the Rapture does occur on November 11, it will not be a Jewish feast day. Jarrett believes the number 11 is important to God. He never mentions November 11 as a possible date for world war to begin, but it is, of course, an 11 date foretold in the Azovmena prophecy.

 

Rapture & Sudden Destruction

 

The Scriptures point to the Rapture Being on a Day of Sudden Destruction.

 

Revelation Chapter 18 contains the prophecy pertaining to the ruination of Babylon. I agree with James Smith and others who believe that America is part of the Babylon system and it must fall for the New World Order to rise. James Smith’s video in which he harmonizes the Scriptures related to "The Sea and the Waves Roaring" shows there is a great convergence of destruction that includes America on the Day the Lord comes for us!

 

The point being that the Rapture of the Overcoming Church Bride will occur at the same time as the destruction comes—this will most likely be nuclear! (Research related to a nuclear Rapture can be found here.)

 

This correlates with 1 Thessalonians 5:3:

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

 

Sudden destruction is coming upon the world—travail—which equals Jacob’s Trouble and is also called the Birthpangs of the Messiah. THEY shall not escape, but the Bride will!

 

May it be no later than November 11, 2023!
