Is it “Cloud” Time?

In a vision I saw the clouds of war billowing towards me as I sat down to pray and begin writing. Then I heard—

 

It is time.

Time for My people to awaken and rise.

Time for My people to be who I have called them to be!

It is time!

 

 

Every Summer since probably 2015 I’ve reposted Summer-related Biblical and modern-day prophecies of events foretold to occur just before the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church. Why in the Summer? Mainly because of the Scriptures quoted by T. W. Tramm at theseasonofreturn.com.  As noted by Tramm, “Biblically, summer begins at the vernal equinox in March and ends at the autumnal equinox in September.”

 

SUMMER AND ISRAEL 

While summer in general is associated with the Church, the end of the season—the time when figs and olives are harvested—bears significance for Israel. For instance, in Amos, a basket of fruit that has ripened over the summer is a symbol of Israel being ripe for judgment: 

“This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: a basket of summer fruit … Then the LORD said to me, ‘The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer’” (Amos 8:1, 2). 

In Jeremiah, the Jews lament the passing of the summer harvest: 

“The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved” (Jer. 8:20). 

While the context of the verse is an ancient judgment, Jeremiah may also be alluding to a future time when Israel sees the Church rescued via the Rapture and comes to the painful realization that they are not saved. 

In Micah, summer is when the upright people have been swept from the land: 

“What misery is mine! I am like one who gathers summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster of grapes to eat, none of the early figs that I crave. The faithful have been swept from the land; not one upright person remains. Everyone lies in wait to shed blood; they hunt each other with nets” (Mic. 7:1-2). . .

Is this the “Strange July” when We Prepare against the Summer?

 

We have been told to “Prepare against the Summer!” In the past, July has come up again and again as a potential month for the Great Shaking to begin. Recently Brandon Biggs heard by way of the Holy Spirit that a shaking was coming to America this month (see Is the Puzzle Complete? Are We Weeks Away from the Great Shaking & Rapture???).

In 2022 I wrote THE DROPPING OF HIS 2ND SHOE in JULY? where I shared how I Pet Goat II portrays the Antichrist making his entrance in the month of July (OR could the Antichrist’s Anubis canoe ride represent the transitional phase?). (My understanding then was that the 1st shoe to drop likely was the September 2020 Abraham Accords Peace Agreement along with the Peace and Prosperity Plan of January 2020 and the introduction of the Covid “vaccine”. The “second shoe” I am referring to is the dividing of Jerusalem via the Two-State Solution.)

 

On paper, the dividing of Jerusalem has already been decided ever since the UN General Assembly Resolution 58/292 which affirms the “Palestinian” people's right to sovereignty over East Jerusalem and aligns with the broader international consensus that the city's final status should be resolved through negotiations for a two-state solution. The Gaza peace plan, officially the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, called for the establishment of a new state of Palestine (which will include East Jerusalem).

 

As I have speculated before, perhaps the destruction of Damascus (Isaiah Chapter 17) will be the catalyst for the final dividing of Israel and its Holy Capital Jerusalem via the Two-State Solution and the uproar of the nations. This would align with the daughter of Babylon America’s destruction occurring around the same time as seen in the Scriptures (see Events Before the Rapture and PROPHECY OF 2 CITIES (Damascus & Babylon) & 2nd SHOE TO DROP BEFORE THE RAPTURE).

 

As we only see in part, it is not clear to me HOW the Two-State Solution will become a reality. Modern day rhema along with Scriptural prophecy indicates a close convergence of when the nations force Israel’s final division (resulting in God’s judgment in Joel 3) along with the destruction of Damascus and America. As I’ve written ad nauseum, the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to His Ekklesia that America will be an example to the nations of His merciful, righteous judgment; because, just as our nation has been central in the dividing of Israel, He will allow the United States to be divided by way of the New Madrid earthquake to cause a Third Great Awakening before He gathers together His Church Bride. Many Christians will think they have entered Jacob’s Trouble, the 7-year Tribulation, but it will be the Great Shaking transitional phase between the Dispensation of Grace into the Tribulation.

 

It is my GUESS that however Damascus gets destroyed, Israel will be blamed and the nations will demand the full implementation of the Two-State Solution. 

 

According to the Azovmena prophecies (see Phillip Barnett Azovmena Prophecy—June, July, August section of Damascus Event then Rapture by July 2025?), the Rapture will occur prior to any World War 3 nuclear exchange and soon after the fulfillment of Isaiah 17—the destruction of Damascus—during the grape harvesting season of June-August and possibly in 2026!

 

In Strange July Leading to a 2024 Rapture? I shared the prophecy given through Kim Clement:

 

“And during the fall there shall be many that shall fall and many that shall rise from the dust. The earth is standing prepared. I shall take it for the summer shall bring forth much in the temperatures. Strange July, strange July."

 

The “strange July” sounds like THIS July 2026 with the super-hot temperatures due to the Godzilla El Niño (related: Consequences Of The Super El Niño Of 2026: Thousands Dead From The Heat,1-In-1,000-Year Storms, Massive Droughts And A Looming Global Famine). So perhaps this is also foretelling the Resurrection and Rapture of Those in Christ this autumn after the hot summer!

Is July GO Time?

 

July is also the Gregorian calendar month that parallels the Festival of New Wine which this year began at sunset July 18 according to the Essene calendar making today, July 19, the First Fruits of New Wine.

 

Many are expectant for a New Wine Rapture, however, last month I wrote how I heard in the Spirit "On Your Mark, Get Set...GO!" as though the Spirit of the Lord were telling me that in June we needed to be in place and ready to hear the starting gun go off so to speak. Will this month of July be GO time?

 

In that article I also wrote about the World Cup which is to conclude July 19. As I meditated on that along with the above Economist Magazine cover where the soccer player is kicking the "2026 Ball of Chaos"--the question came to me:

 

"Does the World Cup Tournament mark the time for the start of the Great Shaking the Spirit of the Lord warned was coming? This year of 2026 is the year Julie Green and others have pointed to in 2026 Brings Global Shutdown and Great Shaking?!"

The “Ruinous HeapS” of DAMASCUS

 

How near could we be to Isaiah 17 and the Rapture?

 

In a recent video by BubbaNews, Bubba ties several upcoming events (including the November 2026 Noahide Conference) together pointing to the conclusion of the Psalm 83 War and the readying of the Ezekiel 38-39 Gog/Magog War. (For more regarding the Noahide meeting, see The First International Congress of Noahides In Jerusalem Will Prepare The Jews To Receive The Coming Biblical Antichrist and The Rise of the Noahide Movement…)

 

Thanks to a July 18, 2026, post by a Brother in Christ, Jeremy, at unsealed.org, I was reminded of another sign before the Rapture as foretold by Phillip Barnett:

 

In 2007, Pastor Barnett prophesied that Russia would invade Ukraine and capture the eastern part of the country up to the Dnipro River, including Kyiv. This prophecy includes two evacuations of Kyiv: the first during the Russian invasion and the second shortly before a nuclear conflict. 

After capturing eastern Ukraine, Russia will turn its attention to Israel. A significant conflict in the Middle East, including the destruction of Damascus by a nuclear weapon, is imminent. Isaiah 17:1 describes the complete destruction of Damascus. ^Source

 

While mass evacuations were declared in the Kharkiv region (east of Kyiv) starting July 3, 2026, involving 60 settlements, the capital itself saw only localized evacuations. Although a second conglomerate evacuation from Kyiv has not yet taken place, it looks imminent as Russia's attacks on the city are seemingly increasing as reported by independent.co.uk.

 

Both the second evacuation of Kyiv and the Iran War are to signal imminent nuclear war. Remember that supposedly the Iran War will be used as a nuclear trigger because the global elite know great catastrophic events are coming due to the Planet X binary system which I wrote about before (see Is the Puzzle Complete? Are We Weeks Away from the Great Shaking & Rapture? Also jfeed.com article.)

 

A NUCLEAR EXCHANGE SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD SEEMS IMMINENT!!! But before that, God in His mercy will allow The Great Shaking to Awaken the spiritually dead and then the Rapture!

A 2026 Great Shaking then Rapture?

 

In 2026 Brings Global Shutdown and Great Shaking?!  I wrote of what ​Patrick Winfrey said the Lord told him which was that in 2026 we will crush Satan under our feet and that we will see the Final Battle of the Church Age leading up to the Rapture!

 

Oh, dear Brethen, could this truly be the year we witness events hastening our gathering unto the Lord?

 

While perusing YouTube the other day, a video by an obscure channel caught my eye which I believe was the Spirit leading me. As I listened to this video titled, The 3 Camps Vision: Henry Gruver 1969, God Wanted Me to Read It!, I noticed great similarities between Henry Gruver’s vision and the end times army vision the Lord showed me as posted on September 14, 2019.  First, here is an excerpt from “New York, Chicago, L.A.”:

 

. . . I had just sat down to seek His face after singing Him a love song and immediately—and I mean immediately—as soon as I shut my eyes, I saw a great army in full armor on horseback seemingly knit together. Darkness surrounded them but great flames radiated from their heads. 

“What am I seeing, Lord?” I asked. 

My great end times army is about to be unleashed. It is a force to be reckoned with. 

Father God read the question in my mind—“When will this army be released?” 

It is the time of peace and safety so-called in which they will be released. Fear not; I am with you, dear daughter. I am with My people. As the Daystar dawns great darkness will be upon the earth. Fear not; I am with you. 

Much destruction will occur by the Dragon before My Son comes for his beautiful Bride. Fear not; I am truly with you. 

. . . Another vision came. I saw rioting with a mob carrying lit torches. 

The time is short, daughter. This is why these visions are coming so easily now. 

“Is it really You showing me these things? I don’t want to be deceived,” I prayed in the name of Jesus Christ. He then assured me it was truly Him and said: 

Trouble will come from the cities but with it will come great revival.

There will be rioting in the streets of America as well as other cities. 

I really didn’t want to hear all this, so I asked Him what I really wanted to know, which was, “How much longer, Lord, before You come?” 

Soon and very soon. Fear not; I will be with you through all that is to come. 

“Lord, I would very much appreciate confirmation that what I am seeing and hearing is from You only.” 

New York will fall first. Then Chicago and L.A.

 

Now compare my vision of the end times army with Henry Gruver's vision of the Camp of the Lord in 1969. Specifically look at what is referred to as “the inner sanctum army”. As explained in the full-length version of Henry’s vision, the Lord showed him people marching in 4 perimeter camp sites before he noticed the inner sanctum army:

 

The Third Camp

 

In each of the four corners of the encampment, I saw people marching in order. They had on their armor, and they were marching to the commands of officers. They formed a beautiful and well-ordered army. The officers gave the commands, "Right face! Left face! About face!” With each command, the ranks of soldiers instantly complied. It was a beautiful thing to behold, because they were marching in such perfect formation, and with such crisp precision. They did not break their ranks, or get out of step. . . 

I watched them march, I thought, “Wow, I want to be a part of that!” Then I noticed something else. I had not seen this at first, but in the center of this large square or diamond-shaped encampment, there was another army marching. There were no tents, however, in this inner area, and I believe the area had been empty when I had first beheld the valley. In other words, the group of people who marched in that ‘inner sanctum” must have come there at some point after the four groups of armies in the four corners began marching. 

This “inner sanctum” army was even more beautiful than the armies in the four corners. The countenances of the soldiers in this army were lit up, and they were beautiful marchers. As I watched them, my heart burned with envy. I heard no voice commanding them. I realized that they had no commanding officer. It was as though God had turned down the volume on the voices of those in the four corners, so I could hear the SILENCE that was emanating from that inner sanctum army. I said, “Lord, they have no commander! How do they know when to go ‘right face,’ ‘left face,’ ‘about face,’ and so forth?” 

The Lord said, “They have learned to know My voice, and they march only at My bidding. Notice, that there are no leaders in that group except those who are in the forefront. Then there may be an ‘about face,’ and those who have been leading will become followers. When it is ‘right face,’ the ones on the right will become the leaders; when it is ‘about face,’ again, those who were on the left will become leaders.” 

As all these armies were marching, those out on the four corners would occasionally come into close proximity to the marchers in the inner sanctum. Whenever that happened, a radiance would go out from the army in the middle, into the armies in the four corners; it seemed to set them on fire. As this continued to happen, the radiance began to affect some of those in the perimeter armies, and they would break off from their units and join with the inner sanctum army. . .

The Bride's Revival and The Rapture

 

As for the inner army, the glow on their countenances came from within them, and it shone outwardly. I believe they may not even have known the day or the hour when they became a part of that final army. I believe that is the way it will be for those who actually do become a part of the Lord’s final, endtime army. . .

Dear Brothers and Sisters, could this be confirmation that what the Lord had me write down in 2019 is about to come to pass? For in this Message to the Bride of Christ, we are exhorted that this vision of the glowing end times army is for NOW!

 

Those billowing clouds of war the Spirit of the Lord showed me this morning reminded me of One Last Word from 2022:

 

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!

 

The cloud vision and rhema have a dual meaning. Those who are called to be part of the Body of Christ who are spiritually asleep must awaken and rise. Once the “net is full”, the dead in Christ will awaken and rise.

 

Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. - 1 Thessalonians 4:17 KJV

 

Let us continue to be alert because these 2026 Clouds of War could be signaling our soon meeting with the Lord in the Clouds when we will ever be with the Lord!  

Gold Falling on the Gentiles!

Gold and Gems

“Gold is falling on the Gentiles,” said the stunned rabbi to Henry Gruver. Henry had just finished prayer walking throughout Jerusalem and had been resting on a bench when this rabbi sat next to him and began a conversation. Henry asked the rabbi what he thought about how in 1989 gold was falling from heaven upon people who were worshipping Jesus, and was Henry surprised by his answer!

“In the ancient Hebrew,” replied the elderly rabbi, “before the bridegroom comes to take his bride, he always sends her a gift of gold by midnight.” Six Hours in Heaven and Jesus Coming Soon!

Yahshua, our Heavenly Bridegroom, has been showering His (mostly) Gentile Bride with gold at least since 1989 to signal His promise to return for Her. Ten years later in 1999 I too experienced a gift of gold from Heaven.

About another decade after that, my daughter shared how a friend of hers found a large diamond in her Bible while worshipping in a service. Recently, a friend of mine sent pictures of gems from Heaven others had received.

Is this Scriptural?

The Book of Genesis relates the story of the servant of Abraham, who, after his request for Rebecca to marry Isaac was granted, “brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebecca; he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things” (Genesis 24:53).

Jesus has been signaling His return for His Beloved for quite some time now. There is no definite sign of the catching away--harpazo--or rapture of the Overcoming Church ; however, the ULTIMATE SIGN of the coming of Jacob’s Trouble has occurred and by default it signals the soon rapture because the Bride of Christ is NOT appointed to Jacob’s Trouble (related article: Saved from Wrath):

Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. - Isaiah 66:7 KJV

Isaiah 66:7 foretells the birth of a man child that will occur BEFORE travail—BEFORE Jacob’s Trouble. This prophecy has a dual fulfillment (physical and spiritual) as the commentary by A. R. Fausset agrees. The first time this was fulfilled was when Israel became a nation state overnight (Isaiah 66:8). The second fulfillment will be when the man child of Revelation 12:5 is caught up (harpazo):

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne. - Revelation 12:5 KJV

The promise to this man child that he will rule all nations was given by Jesus Christ Himself:

And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. - Revelation 2:26-27 KJV

Revelation 12:1-2—Sign of Jacob’s Trouble

The sign of the travailing woman in 2017 (Revelation 12:1-2), as I have stated before, was THE ULTIMATE SIGN of the coming of Jacob’s Trouble. The war that is now brewing with Israel and Iran as I write this article I believe is a prelude to this and may be the start of the fulfillment of Psalm 83:

“They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from [being] a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.” -Psalm 83:4 KJV

If my understanding of Psalm 83 is correct, Israel’s Defense Force will be victorious. Even well known scholars do not claim to have Israel’s prophesied wars all figured out, but to see what conclusion they have come to read This Means WAR!

It is my opinion that Israel does not give the Lord credit for their Psalm 83 victory which opens the door to the Gog-Magog attack. In line with brother Salus I believe Israel as a nation will continue to reject the true Messiah and instead return to the Law and the rebuilding of the Temple. It will not be until Israel has seen the abomination of desolation by the Antichrist (which occurs 3-1/2 years into the 7-year Tribulation) and escaped into the wilderness that her people will come to believe on Y’shua as their Messiah. This Means WAR!

Tachos—Acceleration Time 

The Spirit of Christ has been revealing to God’s people that the world is about to enter or has already entered a time of acceleration and the coming Great Harvest (SEASON OF THE OVERCOMER!). Just as in the birth process when a woman goes from erratic Braxton-Hicks contractions then into actual labor, the world will quickly move from the past few years of pre-Tribulation pains into the actual tumultuous 70^th week of Daniel—The Tribulation. The Lord has shown me and many others within the Body of Christ that the exponential increase in catastrophic disasters and war will be the impetus for the Great Harvest.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John: - Revelation 1:1 KJV

“Tachos” is the Greek word that is translated “shortly” in the above verse. It is pronounced a bit differently than the stuffed folded tortilla we call “tacos”. These two words actually have something in common--tachos refers to something coming to pass “quickly, shortly, speedily” and tacos are a food you can make quickly. At least that is how I remember what tachos means. . .

A tachometer measures revolution per minute, so Jesus here was showing us that when we see things revving up with the beginning of pains (referred to as Braxton-Hicks contractions in human labor), know that the TRUE LABOR IS CLOSE BEHIND! Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

End of Fig Tree Generation

With the deaths of prominent men of God such as Bob Jones, Billy Graham, and recently Chuck Missler, the Lord seems to be pointing to the end of the Age of Grace. The most significant thing signaling this, however, is the coming celebration for Israel of the 70th Anniversary of the replanting of their nation state this coming May 14.

That means the time of acceleration cannot be very long. Since 2017 Israel has been celebrating anniversaries fulfilling every definition of a generation:

". . . the first Zionist Congress (120th), the Balfour Declaration (100th), the UN General Assembly Partition Resolution (70th), the Six-Day War (50th), Anwar Sadat’s visit to Jerusalem (40th), and the first intifada (30th)." (Source: timesofisrael.com)

Disregarding untimely or unnatural deaths due to epidemics, famine, and war, there is evidence in the Scriptures and in recent history to support a 70 to 80 year life span for the past 3000 years. . .

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:  We spend our years as a tale that is told.  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off and we fly away. -Psalm 90:9,10 khouse.org/willweseechristsreturn

If we assume that a generation is 70 to 80 years long today, that means there is only 10 years within which the 7-year Tribulation must take place because Jesus said that all He foretold in Matthew 24 would take place before the end of the “fig tree” generation:

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:

So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Matthew 24:32-34 KJV

The Heavenly Wedding

My conjecture is the time of acceleration may be 3 years long or less. With events related to Israel heating up, there may not be much time left at all to extend the wedding invitation to the lost before the rapture of the Bride of Christ, which will most likely occur simultaneously with the start of Jacob’s Trouble (watch J.D. Farag's EXCERPT from April 29, 2018, Prophecy Update). 

Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. Matthew 22:8-10 KJV

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: - Matthew 22:11 KJV

It is my belief that only those who are clothed upon with the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:49) will be swept up by the Bridegroom and taken to Heaven for the great wedding.

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. - Revelation 3:5 KJV

How I yearn for His coming. It won’t be long now. . .

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.

Apostasy and the Coming Alien Invasion

The title I really wanted to use was “Why I Don’t Believe the Bride will be on Earth During the Coming Demonic ‘Alien’ Invasion” but it was too long.

Those who follow my blog know that the first reason for my belief is that the Bride is not appointed to wrath (read Saved from Wrath). In that article I explain the Dragon’s wrath occurs simultaneously with the Lamb’s wrath; therefore, the demonic “alien” invasion will be part of the Dragon’s wrath. My understanding then is we will not be subject to any wrath at all—Dragon’s, Lamb’s, or God’s!

I believe the Bride will be the church of Philadelphia (Revelation 3:10) and that the overcoming church will harpazo before sudden destruction ( 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 5:1-9) (see By the Skin of Our Teeth).

Aliens?

Next, I need to explain to readers what I mean by a “demonic ‘alien’ invasion”.

As I shared in [a] previous blog article, Warnings and Hope to Those Left Behind, the Antichrist will be the world leader who arises during the Tribulation who will actually be infilled with the presence of the nachash—the serpent known as Satan. He will be revealed once the Church has been raptured. [Excerpt from Google Doodle, the Rapture, and Revealing of the Antichrist]

This world leader will come as an extraterrestrial “alien” savior doing great signs and wonders.

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

[Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie . . . 2 Thessalonians 2:8-11 KJV

...You need to understand that what people refer to as ‘aliens’ or ‘extraterrestrials’ are actually evil demonic entities masquerading as these things…

Spirit-filled believers were designed for spiritual warfare. The best teaching ever on this can be found in an article called The Mystery of Spiritual Warfare by John Paul Jackson. [Excerpt from Giants, Aliens, and a Total Solar Eclipse]

Chapter 9 of Revelation begins the description of the coming invasion that the world will perceive to be “aliens” but will in actuality be an attack by demonic entities.

Steven Ben DeNoon of Israeli Live did a video on Did Jesus Prophesy of an Alien Invasion?

Jeremy’s Visit to Heaven

Several years ago God sent the world a message through a 10-year-old boy named Jeremy about this coming invasion. Jeremy shared how Jesus took him way up in the air past the clouds and past many planets in space to a heavenly crystal city with streets of gold with many mansions. He saw workers for everything in heaven and many, many babies. He asked Jesus what was going to happen to his family and the Lord showed him the future. He showed him that there was going to be a WW3 but that a worse war was to come, that of the alien demon war. These evil demons will portray themselves as aliens but they are part of Satan's army that will try to destroy the entire world population. To listen to this story go to 10 Year Old Boy Dies, Goes To Heaven & tells of WW3 & Demonic Fallen Angles Invading Earth!!

It is my understanding that the Bride of Christ will not be on Earth when this occurs. In my last post I made the following comment:

The Babylon system will be judged in America, but those who purport that the entire Church needs refining and must go through The Tribulation to be purified do not make sense. Why would the Lord appoint the Church of our time to endure terrible global catastrophes and horrific demonic "alien" invasions versus the Church at any other time? What about the dead in Christ who were never "refined by The Tribulation"? The Scripture clearly indicates that the dead in Christ are part of the Bride yet not all of them will have gone through this so-called purification process (1 Thessalonians 4:16).

I am not saying the overcoming Bride will not go through any dangerous events. I am saying She is not appointed to wrath. . . (for more on this read Saved from Wrath). [Excerpt from What's Next for America? Comments Section]

Those who live a life wherein they exercise the gift of God within them are overcomers who, in many cases, have gone through refining fires of purification already! My favorite example of such a person is Henry Gruver. This Brother in Christ shares many testimonies on-line of God’s great power and love but my favorite is when Steve Quayle interviews Henry Gruver at GenSix Studios concerning the Fallen Angels Chained Beneath Streets of Rome!

This account is an example of not just one person walking in the authority of Christ, but several!

The Abyss—Demon Prison

Those who exercise this authority have the spiritual ability to bind and cast demons into the abyss as Jesus did, so why would Satan take the chance of unleashing his army knowing there were those still on Earth who could take authority over his evil host and imprison them?

We first learn of the abyss when Jesus ministered in the country of the Gadarenes:

And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in [any] house, but in the tombs. - Luke 8:27 KJV

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, [thou] Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. - Luke 8:28 KJV

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. - Luke 830-:31 KJV

The word translated deep is the Greek word abusso, which in other places in the New Testament is translated the bottomless pit . . .

Now, somewhere upon the earth there is a shaft that goes from the surface of the earth down into Hades. This shaft in the scripture is called the abusso. It is translated the bottomless pit. And this shaft is the abode and incarceration of evil spirits. The antichrist will ascend out of the abusso, the shaft. When Satan is bound during the thousand-year reign of Christ, he will be cast into this same abusso, out of which the antichrist came. In the book of Revelation we read where an angel is given the key to the abusso during in the time of God's Great Tribulation and judgment upon the earth, and he opens up the abusso, and when he does, these creatures that John graphically describes in the book of Revelation come out of the abusso and began to attack men upon the earth. These hordes of demons released, and attacking men during the Great Tribulation period. I mean, those who have made these fantasy movies haven't seen anything yet. [Excerpt from BLB Chuck Smith Commentary]

Since the overcoming church has this kind of power, why doesn’t the Book of Revelation reveal them subduing the demonic horde? This is part of my reasoning with those who do not believe at all in the harpazo or who say it happens after the time of Jacob’s Trouble.

The Apostasy = THE Departure

Additionally, I believe that the “falling away” of 2 Thessalonians 2 that occurs before the man of sin is revealed is referring to the harpazo of the Bride:

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

In 2 Thessalonians 2:1 the phrase "gathering together" is translated from the Greek word episunagogue and refers to the Great Assembly--a gathering together in one place of all believers (Hebrews 12:22-23).

The phrase "a falling away" is translated from the Greek he apostasia. It is quite enlightening to find that most of the earlier English versions translated he apostasia as 'the departure'. erfministries.com

 

In Why the ‘Rapture’ Comes First #4 of 4 by John Fenn he writes:

The Amplified Bible in its notes, and Kenneth Wuest’s NT make notes that reveal the word ‘apostia’ at their root, mean departure, falling away from view, or departure on a journey. In Bible school in 1979 I learned the original use of the word described the act of a ship leaving port and ‘falling away’ out of site over the horizon as it departed. THAT understanding of the word is consistent with the rest of the NT and grammatically here:

“That day will not come until the rapture (Jewish catching away of believers in Messiah) comes first, and then the man of sin will be revealed…and now you know what is restraining him that he may be revealed at the right time…and he who restrains him will continue to do so until he is taken out of the way, then he man of sin will be revealed.” (II Thess. 2: 3-7)

The ‘he’ who is restraining him is the body of Christ, Christ in the earth, acting as a salt or preservative that must be removed for the man of sin to be revealed. Some would suggest it is the Holy Spirit who is removed so the man of sin may be revealed. I would say it this way, it is the Holy Spirit in us and His time of ministry to us, Jews and Gentiles alike who have been part of the last 2,000 years of the age of the Gentiles, must be removed.

 

Some believe, however, that the apostasia is referring to a departure from the faith and still others think it is a rebellion upon the earth staged by satan.  What is important to realize, however, is that this Greek word does not give the definition of who or what departs, only that there is a definite departure. 

"The falling away" cannot be something negative when Paul exhorts in 2 Thessalonians 2:2 "That ye be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled..." He was comforting the Thessalonians who believed that they were already living in the time of wrath or "the day of Christ". Also, when referring to the rapture of the Church in 1 Thessalonians 4:18, he wrote, "Wherefore comfort one another with these words". How can anyone be comforted if they believe they will have to endure ANY of the 7-years of Antichrist's rule?

So "the departure" must be a separate event that happens FIRST before the revealing of the "man of sin".

Who is Raptured and When?

In my studies, I found that there are two parts to Christ’s return.

Robert Breaker, a Youtube contributor, did an hour-long video on this subject on July 10, 2015, entitled, The Two Comings of Jesus Christ. He shows how the Messiah’s first coming to earth at his birth was a two-part event and outlines His second coming as a two-part event wherein the Rapture occurs prior to His setting foot on the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4) after the Great Tribulation.

Notice I always use “overcoming church” or “Bride” or similar terms when referring to who will be raptured.

It is my belief that the Bride of Christ is represented by His rib. Just as Eve was formed from Adam’s rib, so does the Bride come from Christ’s Body. The Bride of Christ is the overcoming remnant of the Church Body who is caught up by the Bridegroom. Remember Lot's Wife

That means there will be people left on Earth who profess to be Christians but who actually are not. You don’t have to be a Henry Gruver to be raptured, but you do have to make Jesus Christ your Lord and believe God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). Instead of you being the lord over your own life you give it over to Yahshuah Ha Moshiach, Jesus. You must lose your life, so to speak, to gain eternal life (Matthew 16:25).

Now who makes it into the category of the Bride is not up to me—Jesus said: Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. - Luke 21:36 KJV

If you are sealed with the Holy Spirit, then you are worthy as explained in Who are the Tribulation Saints?

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. - Revelation 22:17 KJV
