1 Cor. 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Light in Darkness

It’s good, to be up-to-date in what’s going on in the world. So we can be wise, we must compare what we read with what God’s Word has to say about the topic. I find that the news media is biased and not from the conservative viewpoint. There are only a couple of news channels that offer news from the conservative viewpoint but the rest are puppets of the world’s viewpoint. As I read, I know what to pray for and how I should be praying. The Holy Spirit has already prepared my heart as I started my day with the Lord!

The liberal media is trying to push a one-world government agenda and the first part of that involves brainwashing the citizens. I am not a conspiracy theorist so please understand that I say these things in light of God’s Word. Oh do we ever see this happening today! The vaccinated blame the unvaccinated, the political left blames the right. The unbelieving world uses the internet like a newspaper, believing everything they read is the truth! I can’t recall a more evil and corrupt world than I see now. I heard a quote recently:The problem of the heart is the heart of the problem!This is so true. Although the churches are filled with people, they are not all necessarily born-again Christians – their heart has not been converted.

I was born again on April 1st, 1980. At that time, I could go visit strangers with the Pastor’s wife and talk to them about the Lord. However, today, not only would that be physically dangerous but would be classified as “hate speech”! It could also lead to violence. The Apostles and disciples of Jesus’ day went through this after His resurrection. They were imprisoned, they were brutally killed. I think it is good to share news stories as they relate with the Scriptures and, more specifically, the end times. They help us to see that the Rapture is imminent – it can happen at any moment, maybe even today (so be ready)!

We must remember that the Tribulation period is all about Israel and not abut the Church. It is called the time of Jacob’s troubles, not the “world’s” troubles. The Church did not take the place of Israel! The pause between Daniel’s 69th and 70th week ushered in the Church Age because Israel lost its zeal to convert the unbeliever. After the Church Age is finished (after the Rapture), God will resume His judgment on Israel and Daniel’s 70th week begins (the Tribulation). This same judgment will affect the entire globe, not just Israel. The Church is already with Christ in Heaven and ready for the Marriage Supper. The Church will not receive this judgment. God will spare the Church from going through this judgment for Israel’s spiritual rebellion and we will be kept from that time!

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

As we look at what the world’s condition is in at this time and await the Rapture, we will see both anti-Christian news and anti-Israel news. We are now seeing anti-Semitic people persecuting the Jews worldwide. We are close to entering into an era much like the days of Hitler. Those of us who have been blessed to live in the United States are free to practice our faith at the moment. But as time draws nearer to the end, that wonderful privilege will be taken away.

Technology has advanced so much that we are quickly approaching the day when every human being will be monitored. China is currently doing this and applying citizens’ disobedience to their social credit score. If you don’t follow their rules, you won’t be able to travel or buy certain products! The stage is being set for the final seven years where the Antichrist will do the same thing. (Revelation 13:17)

A look at the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) website reveals Karl Schwab and Yuval Noah Harari’s plans to computerize man’s brain and insert it into a “trans human” robot. Efforts by the WEF are currently underway and are expected to perfect it between 2030-2050. Their efforts for 15-minute cities are also underway. What better way to track everything about an individual than to place him in a city that collects all his data? This 40-minute video is excellent. It is not made by believers so it is not geared for the Church. HOWEVER, it will give you an idea of what the WEF’s intentions are. They are not hiding their agenda:

Now that you have an idea of what the WEF’s plans are, your eyes are opened to the elite’s agenda for the world. This is a perfect segue for the Antichrist to come into power. The groundwork for the verse below will already be laid.

Rev 13:16-17  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:  (17)  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

How else can the Antichrist track people except they have some kind of mark? The Bible says that they will be forced to take his mark on their foreheads or right hand. What kind of mark is it? The Bible doesn’t say but it clearly says there will be one. Make no mistake, reader, those who accept this mark will be condemned to Hell and that is not a place you want to go to for all eternity!

As well, the one-world religion will prevent anyone from following any “spiritual” beliefs other than what they will teach. The enforcement of this will be imposed by the one-world government.

Rev 20:4  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

The biblical end times reveal that this tracking of information will be alive and well during the Tribulation. One must study the Word of God. Only the light of the Word of God can illuminate the heart and open the eyes of the blind. We must be wise! Ask the Lord to show you what is His will for you.

Pro 2:6  For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

1 Cor 3:19  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

The general rule of thumb for Christians should be: If the world is FOR something, you should question it because the world is evil! Do your research – read your Bible – pray asking for wisdom. God does not forsake His child.

Jas 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

End time news can be exciting to the born-again Christian because they know their Blessed Hope can come for him/her any second! But to the one who is not saved, it is a different story: fear sets in their hearts. Friend, it is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved.

    Timing

    Revelation 4:1 happens Concurrently or in Parallel with 1 Thess. 4(KJV) 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

    So it can be said that Revelation 4:1 happens before Revelation 6:12. And of course the Blood Moon in Israel of this year occurs in 206 days. March, 20th is the first day of Spring, June 20th is the first day of Summer. Summer ends in September. And, since we are not permitted to know the season. Then it can not start in Summer.

    It is also interesting to note that in Revelation 3:22 (the last verse in this chapter) is the last use of the word churches. Immediately after in Revelation 4:1, “a door is opened in heaven” and Jesus says “Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.” When the Bible was first written, there were no chapters and verses. The assigning of chapters and verses was finished in the year 1551. How exciting is that? Revelation 3:22 and Revelation 4:1 were originally one verse apart. One is referring to the churches and the very next verse speaks of a door opening. Following Rev. 4:b there is no other mention of the church. It means a lot more when you look at it like that, doesn’t
    it?

    Rev 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith יי unto the churches.

    Rev 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things ivhich must be hereafter.

    What to expect

    Without following the directions of Rev. 1:19 you may not understand the content of Rev. 4:1.

    Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are and the things which shall be hereafter.

    Sequence is Rev. 1:19–>Rev. 4:1–>Rev. 4:2->1Thess. 4:16-17–>1 Cor. 15: 51-52 and maybe Rev. 14:19 for the unbelievers

    things which are
    Rev. 4.1 (NKJV) After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” (reference to John).

    Revelation 4:2 “And immediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.”

    believers to be reaped/ which shall be hereafter
    1 Thess. 4(KJV) 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
    1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

    Footnotes

    1 Cor. 15:51 hidden truth<——
    Rapture

    1 Corinthians 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

    Note: so here, the trumpet must sound. It is the loud summons of all the living and all the dead, to come and appear at the tribunal of Christ. At this summons the graves shall open, the dead saints shall rise incorruptible, and the living saints be changed to the same incorruptible state, v52.

    (cf. 1 Thessalonians 4:16) It is so designated because it signals the end of the present age, the church age.

    Kate,
    You and I are very close in age and share a love for Gods word. I have used three different methods of predicting the end date below. We may very well see the Lord in this Spring.

    NO ONE IS PERMITTED TO KNOW THE DAY OR SEASON

    Matthew 24:36 (KJV) But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only

    Acts 1:7 (KJV) And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

    So clearly you should expect to see my search, for this date using three different methods to amount to nothing. So why do it, curiosity and to learn revelation.

    Revelation 6:9-11 (KJV) And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

    1. The first date will be based on the occurrence of the Blood Moon as shown in Revelation 6:12 (KJV)

    The question becomes when will Israel be exposed to the next Blood Moon. In this case I used a computer program to predict the date and time as September, 9 2025, shown just below.

    You can watch the predicted Blood Moon, computer generated event, if you play this video, by clicking on the link below.

    ———————

    2. The next event or method is based on the Hebrew Year and its annual celebration of Rosh Hashana. It seems that the Jewish people have been celebrating Rosh Hashana for the last 5786 Hebrew years. This annual celebration expects the return of the Messiah between late September and early the following year based on our calendar system.

    Note: the date for Rosh Hashana in 2025 is Monday, September 22

    Current Update: before moving on to method 3.
    Based on the return dates of the Blood Moon/Rapture and Rosh Hashana. Dates are separated by 13 days for the year of 2025.

    Click the url Kate and watch the Blood Moon of Revelation 6:12.
    ———————

    3. And, a third based on two prophecies such as Psalm 90:10 (KJV)
    The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

    I believe the term is used generically in Matthew 24:34. All it is saying is that the people living at the time the nation of Israel is re-established will be the ones who will witness the return of the Lord. It could be a person who was a small child at that time and who will be 80 years old when the Lord returns. No time period is meant.

    People frequently ask me the generation that sees the re-establishment of the nation of Israel (which is May of 1948) and (must not be older than 80 years or one generation) when the Lord returns.

    70-80 years old when the Lord returns. This should mean that anyone who is alive at the re-establishment of the nation of Israel who older 77 years or younger 67 at 2025 would not fit the time-frame. 1948 + 80 = 2028; 1948 + 70 – 2018.

    So for these prophecies to be true or my understanding, we should expect Jesus Christ to return before May, 2028.

    Summary: Jesus Christ will return, but will it be before May, 2028 based on the prophecies presented above or based on the Hebrew Year calendar, Monday, September 22, 2028, or based on the Blood Moon, September 9, 2025. The Rapture date remains unknown

    Kate,

    Do I understand correctly?

    Sun Became Black, Day of Darkness, Day of the Lord
    (Rapture to Tribulation)

    In (1 Thess 5:4) Paul writes that the Church is removed before the day of darkness so that the Day of the Lord will not overtake them like a thief in the night. Since it initiates the judgment, God will remove the Church from the darkness not keep them through it.

    Is there a solution? Definitely! God shortens the daylight hour and lengthens the night seasons to keep millions alive. He accomplishes this by darkening the sun, as predicted by His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 24:29 records, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the SUN be darkened.” This statement harmonizes with Rev. 6:12: “And I beheld when He had opened the sixth (6th) seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the SUN became black as sackcloth of hair.” God’s method of shortening the day light hours hinders the sun’s death purge of earth’s inhabitants by reducing the amount of ultraviolet rays bombarding the planet.

    Zephaniah 1:15
    That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

    Joel 2:1–2 explained) The prophet adopts the vantage point of the ultimate Day of the Lord, and from that position, he looks back to the present locust plague. In the light of these dual crises, there is important action to undertake. Something unique is happening; the ultimate Day of the Lord is near. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm. Judah must hear and heed the prophet’s instructions. Therefore, it is necessary to gain the people’s attention by blowing the trumpet and sounding an alarm. The trumpet was used primarily for religious purposes to call the congregation together for meetings, to usher in the beginning of the month, and to note solemn days and festive occasions. In this instance, however, the trumpet is to be used to sound an alarm and alert people to the seriousness of the crises. It represents utter desperation—all human hope is gone. The Day of the Lord is described in frightening figures as a day of darkness, gloominess, clouds, and of thick darkness. All the figures emphasize the uniqueness of this terrible day of judgment. Truly, there has never been anything like this, and there will never be anything like it again.

    Good Morning Kate,

    It’s clear between 1 Thessalonians 1:10 (KJV) , 1 Thessalonians 5:9 (KJV), John 3:36 (KJV) and Matthew 18 (KJV) 1-6 that no Little Child will ever see a wrath. So it must follow, that a Little Child will be raptured.

    The Tribulation is a time of God’s wrath, but not for the Believers ( 1Thess 1:10 and 1Thess. 5:9), beginning in Revelation 6:16 (the wrath of the Lamb) through chapter 19. The Body of Christ has NOT been appointed to wrath.

    You can now see the beginning of the Wrath references and Tribulation at Rev. 6:16 and the end of the Wrath references and Tribulation at Revelation 19:15.

    1 Thessalonians 1:10 (KJV) And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

    1 Thessalonians 5:9 (KJV) For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

    John 3:36 (KJV) He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life, and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

    ————————–

    Matthew 18 (KJV)
    1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

    2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

    3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

    4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

    5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

    6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

    The day of the Lord – Begins

    1 Corinthians 15:52 (KJV)<–The foot of the Bridge

    Revelation 5:12-13 (KJV)
    12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

    13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

    1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 (KJV)<–
    But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

    2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

    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.

    Note: Peace and safety and sudden destruction are bridge from the Rapture to Wrath.

    Special Note: Paul shifts his pronouns from “you” to “they”. He’s is referring not to believers who have been raptured to haven, but to unbelievers who remain on earth.

    For when they shall say, Peace and safety – That is, when the wicked shall say this, for the apostle here refers only to those on whom “sudden destruction” will come; compare Matthew 24:36-42 notes; 2 Peter 3:3-4

    Sudden destruction – Destruction that was unforeseen (αἰφνίδιος aiphnidios) or unexpected. The word here rendered “sudden,” occurs nowhere else in the New Testament, except in Luke 21:34, “Lest that day come upon you unawares.” The word rendered “destruction” – ὄλεθρος olethros – occurs in the New Testament only here and in 1 Corinthians 5:5; 2Th 1:9; 1 Timothy 6:9, in all of which places it is correctly translated destruction. The word destruction is familiar to us. It means, properly, demolition; pulling down; the annihilation of the form of anything, or that form of parts which constitutes it what it is; as the destruction of grass by eating; of a forest by cutting down the trees; of life by murder; of the soul by consigning it to misery. It does not necessarily mean annihilation – for a house or city is not annihilated which is pulled down or burnt; a forest is not annihilated which is cut down; and a man is not annihilated whose character and happiness are destroyed. In regard to the destruction here referred to, we may remark:

    Where does the Sudden destruction start.
    Revelation 6:12 (KJV)
    And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.

    Common sense: from Thessalonians 5:1-3 (KJV) “they shall say, Peace and safety;”. What would you think, the unbelievers would say, after the Rapture occurs and the Holy Spirit with them.
