Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah is the only time during the year that I've seen any reason to step up our watchfulness and preparedness (from high to extremely high) for Jesus to come back. The Jewish feasts were given to men for a reason, to remember what God has done, and to keep in mind what he's going to do in the future.

Rosh Hashanah 2008 started at nightfall last night and ends at nightfall tomorrow evening. We will be halfway through it tonight at sundown. Jesus is going to come back when the Father tells him to. We are told to be watching and ready. This says it perfectly:

Matt 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Watch, be ready...Why? Because at an hour that you think not, that's when Jesus will show up. I have no idea which day and hour Jesus is going to show up, but I know that you and I can watch and be ready. Seems to me, the days we live in make it easier than ever to keep our eyes on the sky. Yesterday the stock market took the largest one day dive EVER. Events like this should keep us focused. MANY people are getting weighed down by the anxieties of life. Life savings are being robbed by the rich at the expense of the common man, so what? On the day Jesus shows up for us, IT WONT MATTER how much money was in your bank accounts. Yea, today it matters, and if you know Jesus and Jesus knows you, he'll take care of you like he always has. I have seen the God I serve part the red sea in my life. I have seen at least 1 miracle, personally. I have also seen an innumerable number of smaller acts of love and kindness directed toward me and my family by the Creator of the universe. My God is real. He is the God you can find in the bible for yourself. I recommend NOT taking mens words for who he is, you need to find out about him FOR YOURSELF. Most people don't care enough to do that so they participate in Jiffy Lube Christianity, getting "serviced" weekly by hired hand nicolaitan pastors.

Rosh Hashanah 2008 is a time for increased watchfulness and readiness. Think about how perfect the timing is right now for the rapture. The entire world is tuned into whats going on with the crashing financial markets. Those who are of this world would be blindsided completely. That does'nt mean that Jesus will come back today or tomorrow, no man knows the day or hour, but if he does, we should be ready for it. One thing many people agree on is: the tribulation is coming SOON. I never see disagreement on that. If the tribulation is as close as everyone thinks it is and IF the rapture is pre-tribulation, what does that mean? How much time is left? Not much.

What an exciting time to be alive. Think about the implications of these things. The moment you come into Jesus presence as a believer, all your troubles are OVER. Your mind cannot comprehend how good its going to be. Your heart will throb with joy. Think about how you'd feel if you just won the largest lottery jackpot ever. Then multiply that feeling by a thousand. Because we are such weak creatures, its hard to grasp these things, BUT THEY ARE COMING. Things are about to get REALLY GOOD for some people, those who are watching and ready. Things are about to get UNBELIEVABLY BAD FOR OTHERS. The next event we should be looking for is the escape of the church. That event is pictured throughout the bible and I believe we are alive to see it happen any time now, perhaps today.

We should be on extreme rapture watch throughout today and tomorrow. If Jesus does not come back for us over these two days, WE WERE WATCHING AND READY, right? Then what? We continue to watch and be ready, realizing how short time is. Take any opportunities you can to do good and move our Lord's kingdom forward. Our Father, who art in heaven, blessed be your name. THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE!!!!!! here on earth as it is in heaven. Watching the greed and corruption in this world makes me long for his kingdom in a big way. The hardships of this world, this present time of distress can turn a man either toward the world, or toward the kingdom of heaven. Where people turn during times like this shows you where their heart is. Jesus is about to show up and so called pastors like Chuck Baldwin are running for president, other hired hand pastors are telling people to vote for either one of the other two presidential wannabes. As if it matters? These men speak from the viewpoint of the world. Their fixes for everything come from the world. What does that tell you about these men? THEY ARE OF THIS WORLD. We are not. Our kingdom is not of this world, we are looking for solutions that are not of this world. The two viewpoints are light-years apart.

Time is short, Jesus could come back today. I've been bugging him, "Lord, is it today? Are you coming back today?" Be a good soldier, watch in every season, be watching, be ready..thats the answer I get :-)

love to you all, grace and peace

Tonight at Sundown

Tonight at sundown, Rosh Hashanah observance begins.

What do we know about Rosh Hashanah 2008?

1. We know that so called christianity is in FULL BLOWN APOSTASY

2. We know that Rosh Hashanah is also known as the feast of trumpets, which is also known as the "day and hour that no man knoweth"

3. We know that the Lord is coming back for us during "normal" days. As we look around at the world today, many of us see an increasingly abnormal world. The bible says For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. We know that Jesus is coming back in "pre-flood" days. Normal days appear to be running out, what does that mean? TIME IS SHORT.

4. We know that the day Noah entered the ark, the flood began, so we know the day the rapture occurs, the "flood" begins. The rapture is the trigger that begins the tribulation, just as Noah entering the Ark and Lot leaving Sodom were the triggers for judgement to begin (Matt 24, Luke 17).

5. We DO NOT KNOW whether Jesus comes back for us during the feast known as the "day and hour no man knoweth" (feast of trumpets) OR whether Jesus comes back on any old ordinary day. Either would fit, HOWEVER, ask yourself this question: if all the spring feasts were fulfilled literally, to the day by Jesus, and the next feast day to be fulfilled literally IS the feast of trumpets which oh by the way STARTS TONIGHT, what would the fulfillment of that feast day entail if it was not the rapture? There just are'nt any good answers to that question. We are told to be watching in EVERY SEASON, not just this season. The Lord has left it wide open, but he has given some of his servants HIS PRECIOUS SPIRIT, which is no small help in our readiness.

6. Jesus COULD come back for his bride tonight, or tomorrow night, yes he certainly could. Lots and lots of Rosh Hashanah observances have passed and Jesus did not come back on any of them. Could he come back during the feast of trumpets 2008? Yea, he could.

7. Read the news guys. I know its depressing, and I know much of it consists of lies and fabrications, however, the things we read do serve as a barometer for our times. The weather is changing for this world, the anti-christs kingdom is being setup right before our eyes.

8. Most people are not looking or are not ready for Jesus to show up today. Watching is great, but its not enough, you've got to be READY. Read Matt 25 again, all the virgins went out to meet the bridegroom, but half had to turn back, they were'nt ready. What does being ready mean? That question can only be answered by Jesus, and he will only answer you personally if you ask him. You are THE BRIDE. He is THE BRIDEGROOM. This is about intimacy, his bride is PRECIOUS TO HIM. Jesus LOVES THE BRIDE, but she must make herself ready. Do NOT DISAPPOINT THE BRIDEGROOM. He loves you, but he is a just and righteous God and he does'nt play games. Your hired hand nicolaitan pastors have lied to you and sold you down the river. It does'nt make an ounce of difference that your pastor is a "nice guy." Nice guys and gals have gone to hell by the bushel. "Nice" does'nt cut it. Faithful and obedient is what it takes, and the first step at being faithful and obedient for todays so called pastors is to REJECT the idolatrous pastoral system that they are part of. Anything, and I mean ANYTHING that encroaches on Jesus place as HEAD OF THE CHURCH is idolatrous and WICKED. There's no time left, UNLEARN everything any man has ever told you and get alone with Jesus. Beg him to give you his Spirit so you may learn the way you ought to.

9. Jesus could come back for his bride tonight, would you be watching and ready? I've been asking the Lord to give me something, anything more to give to you and the only thing I can say I have is an unshakeable, gut level knowledge that darkness is moving in, and time is short for this world. The world is about to become a demonic playground. Things on earth are about to turn upside down. Here's an example of what's coming:

Luke 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken

Things are about to "come on the earth" as a result of "powers of heaven" being shaken. These things coming ON THE EARTH will cause mens hearts to fail them out of FEAR. Try the demonic, fallen angels being shaken from their places in the heavens and COMING ON THE EARTH. It does'nt matter what disguises or lack of disguises these fallen angels use, the sight of them is going to cause fear.....fear enough to make mens hearts fail them. Think that through for awhile. Sometimes, many times the truth IS stranger than fiction. Is this world ready for the devil and his angels? Yea, it is. This place is a cesspool of wickedness, lust and violence. Good is called evil and evil is called good. It's utterly sickening. I don't sugarcoat my words, but neither did Jesus. The bible says that we should have ZEAL for the Lord and his kingdom.

Time is short. Its taken me decades to figure out what the Lord would have me do for him, and I think I've got it sorted. The mission assigned to me by our commander in chief is to floodlight the apostasy of the church and warn people of what's coming. That's it. There is a FIRE that burns within me, and its not of me. This fire has JESUS on its mind, all the time. Remember this, the message has nothing to do with the messenger. We are all ambassadors of our kingdom. A kingdom that we pray will come soon. A kingdom NOT OF THIS WORLD. Ambassadors convey the messages of their kingdom. The message of the kingdom has not changed, its been the same for a very long time. That message is:

1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

The kingdom at heaven IS at hand..are you ready for it? grace and peace

Tomorrow Evening at Sundown

Tomorrow evening at sundown, Rosh Hashanah begins for observant Jews. What stands out about Rosh Hashanah is that its the 2 days out of the year desscribed as "the day and hour no man knoweth." So, we have all the rest of the days of the year, and rosh hashanah. I plan to be watching and ready should Jesus return during the next couple of days, I encourage you to do the same.

I asked the Lord last night if he would tell me. I asked him "are you coming back during rosh hashanah 2008? How much longer Lord?" I believe the answer was: he's going to tell us when the event is right on top of us, but no sooner. It's going to happen like it did for the 10 virgins in Matt 25. Notice, all the virgins were awakened with Matt 25:6 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him. 7 'then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps, 8 and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out.

Then rose ALL those virgins. So they all rose up, but here's the thing, half of them, the foolish, had no oil in their lamps....no Holy Spirit. The greek word used to describe their condition is sbennumi sben'-noo-mee: to extinguish -- go out, quench. TO EXTINGUISH.

Here's the thing about the timing, all the virgins rose, half were found lacking and went to "buy" some oil. Then the bridegroom came and took the virgins who were ready into the wedding. My point is THERE WAS TIME for the foolish to run off and attempt "to buy" more oil, BUT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME for them to make it into the wedding with the bridegroom. Same thing with Noah, he was given notice before he went into the ark, Lot had to walk out of Sodom before fire could destroy the place. So...we might have some kind of a "wake up" call, then a little bit of time before " in a twinkling of an eye" we are translated.

From the time that we "get notice" till the time we translate, there's NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GET READY......you have to BE READY ALREADY. The point here for the foolish virgins is: they WILL KNOW THEY MISSED IT. Matt 25: 11 and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us; 12 and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you. 13 'Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.

"The rest" of the virgins will come knocking, and Jesus will tell them I HAVE NOT KNOWN YOU" or....I NEVER KNEW YOU, I DON'T KNOW YOU --you get the point.

We are told to be watching at EVERY SEASON, not just during Rosh Hashanah. But every season INCLUDES rosh hashanah, so we should be watching, in my opinion, ESPECIALLY WATCHING during the next few days. Watching during EVERY season, is not easy. Staying on high alert for Jesus return ALL THE TIME is hard, but Jesus has'nt left us hanging. Those who have their "oil" topped off, will be watching and ready. How can you fall asleep at the wheel with a FIRE burning inside you?

My job is to warn you, to encourage you. You have been warned, so have I. Let's kick up our watchfullness during the next few days, lets be ready for Jesus should he return. Let's not stop there, we have to FINISH what we started. The finish line for our watchfulness and readiness is when Jesus shows up.

Look around you, talk to people. Almost everyone agrees that something BIG is about to happen. Everyone has a different opinion on what that big thing is. The point is, BIG THINGS ARE COMING. The entire financial system is about to collapse, world war 3 is on the horizon, martial law is likely in the United States, if Obama does'nt win the presidency, there will probably be race riots all over the country, the anti-christ is about to show up, theres no gasoline over a large section of the SE united states, natural disasters are getting bigger and deadlier, the list goes on and on. None of the things I list up there bother me in the least. Why? Whether I am in heaven or on earth, the answer to ALL my problems are "in Christ." HE is the answer to everything you face. Jesus is our PRIZED POSSESSION on earth, and in heaven. Heaven WOULD NOT BE HEAVEN without Jesus. He's the answer guys, get right with him today, stay right with him today. The end of all things is staring us in the face. Love, grace and peace

3 Days at Sundown

In 3 days, on Sept 29 at sundown, Rosh Hashanah begins. Will the rapture of the bride of christ happen? I don't know. What I do know is that The feast of trumpets is the next of the Jewish feasts to be literally fulfilled by the Son of God. Our master did not give the jewish feasts to the jews as some kind of party schedule, or something to do to keep them busy. He gave them the feasts as part of the revelation of his plan for humanity. With that in mind, lets do a quick Jewish feast review:

The feast days of ancient Israel are comprised of the spring feasts of:

Passover-The lamb for the Passover celebration is selected on the 10th day of 1st month, and Jesus was hailed as Messiah on His triumphant entry into Jerusalem on the exact day of the 10th of Nisan

Feast of Unleavened Bread-On the day after the weekly Sabbath during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Firstfruits offering is made before God as a wave offering of a sheaf of the spring harvest. Jesus was raised from the dead and ascended to heaven on the exact day of Firstfruits, 3 days after being crucified.

Firstfruits, and Pentecost or the Feast of Weeks (Shauvot)-On Pentecost (Shauvot), the two loaves of bread made from the spring harvest are waved before God at the altar. Exactly on Pentecost, the Holy Spirit was poured out on born-again believers, the result of the shed blood of the Lamb and the accepted offering on Firstfruits

ALL THESE SPRING FEASTS^^^^HAVE BEEN FULFILLED TO THE EXACT DAY.

The fall feasts include:

the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah)
the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)
and the Feast of Booths or Tabernacles (Sukkot or the Feast of Ingathering).
All of these feast days are laid out in Leviticus 23.

All of the spring feasts have been fulfilled to the exact day. The next feast to be fulfilled is the Feast of Trumpets, which is the ONLY FEAST WE CANNOT KNOW THE EXACT DAY OR HOUR.

Many people have predicted when the rapture will occur over the years and they have all been wrong. My position on this is: THERE IS NO NEED TO PREDICT THE DAY THE RAPTURE WILL OCCUR. The Lord gave us a clear command, telling us what he expects us to do. He expects us to be watching, and he expects us to be ready when he shows up. Why is it important to be watching and ready TODAY? Because regardless of when the rapture happens, you might not live to see tomorrow. Look around you, the world is coming apart before your eyes. Why am I counting down to Rosh Hashanah 2008? Because I think a VERY plausible argument can be made for a pre-trib rapture on Rosh Hashanah, based on the words used to describe the rapture, the feast of trumpets and the marriage of the lamb. The pieces fit, and I see absolutely no conflict, there are no "inconvenient" truths that need to be overlooked for the rapture to occur on Rosh Hashanah. I am 100% convinced that the rapture will be pre-trib. Luke 21:36 says that there IS an escape from ALL thats about to happen. ALL is a VERY EXPANSIVE BIG WORD. It covers ALOT of ground. Jesus described for us what ESCAPE ALL means. Escape ALL for Noah (Matt 24) meant that he was PHYSICALLY SEPARATED FROM THE FLOOD BEFORE A SINGLE DROP OF RAIN EVER FELL. Noah was 100% untouched by the flood judgement, he was physically removed from wrath, taken into the ark. That's what ESCAPE ALL MEANS. Jesus explained what ESCAPE ALL means by giving us the story of LOT in Luke 17. Lot was PHYSICALLY REMOVED from Sodom BEFORE ANY HINT OF JUDGEMENT showed up on Sodom. That's what ESCAPE ALL MEANS.

Now, WE ARE PROMISED AN ESCAPE. Open your eyes and look around you. Is this world about to get hit with the Lord's wrath? Look at it REAL HARD. You tell me, is this world transforming into the tribulation world prophesied to come? Can you see the one world government forming? Can you see the one world currency forming? Can you see the SICKENING CHRISTIAN APOSTASY? The Philidelphia church is promised to be kept PHYSICALLY AWAY FROM (GREEK "EK") "THE" HOUR OF TRIAL. What does the Lord tell us about the church that gets to escape the hour of trial? ITS WEAK. Why is it weak? Because there are FEW and its SCATTERED.

The mission the Lord has given me is to put a floodlight on the wickedness and apostasy of so called christianity, and to warn people of the coming wrath. The next feast day is an opportunity for you and I to practice watchfulness and readiness. We are soldiers. Soldiers train, soldiers persevere, soldiers march on, whether they feel like it or not. Soldiers endure hardship. Rosh Hashanah 2008 is a "watch, pray and be ready" training event. I am not sure that the Lord will come back for us on Rosh Hashanah 2008, HOWEVER, I am sure that I want to be watching, and ready on the day he shows up . Don't you? One of these days HE WILL SHOW UP. On that day, on that hour, will you be watching? Will you be ready? That's what this is all about.

If you are watching and ready over Rosh Hashanah 2008 and the Lord comes for us, will you be glad you were doing what the Lord told you to do like a good and faithful servant? If the Lord does not come during Rosh Hashanah 2008 will you be glad you were doing what the Lord told you to do like a good and faithful servant? We are told to be watching and ready at all times. There are some who call themselves servants of the Lord who ARE saying in their heart that the Lord will delay his coming until some event or other is fulfilled. Specifically these people are the mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib crowd. What does the bible say about those who say to themselves "the Lord is tarrying?" Look it up. Many so called christians these days are so in bed with the world that they have NO IDEA that the Lord is about to show up, NONE. Will they be found worthy to escape all thats about to happen? What does the bible say about getting caught up in "the anxieties of life?"

34 'And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts may be weighed down with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day may come on you, 35 for as a snare it shall come on all those dwelling on the face of all the land, 36 watch ye, then, in every season, praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.'

Are people these days caught up in "ANXIETIES OF LIFE?" Are you kidding me? Read the news. Jesus said to TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES or "that day" is going to come on you LIKE A SNARE. "That day" refers to a day when the rapture occurs AND the day of the Lord starts. BOTH ON THE SAME DAY. Now realize this...the "day" of the Lord LASTS MORE THAN ONE DAY. So, we're talking about the same "time frame."

Some items to think about: As things continue to get worse in this world, I believe the probability that the rapture occurs goes up. Why? As things get worse, people tend to look to God for relief, which means they tend to "tune in" to him more than when things are going well. Most people won't be watching or ready when Jesus comes. Read Matt 7:14 and look up everywhere in the bible that "remnant" is used. Most people don't "get it" only a few do...a remnant, over and over and over again. Not a popular message, which is why you never hear it.

Also, Luke 17 and Matt 24 both tell us that the Lord is coming back during days characterized by "eating, drinking, marrying, planting, building" Those are indicitive of NORMAL DAYS. If the Lord was going to come back for his bride during the tribulation, why would'nt he give us "plague, famine, death, disease, the anti-christ, war" etc etc to characterize the days?

You need to figure out where you stand on things in a hurry. There's no time left. Do not trust me, do not trust other men, pick up your bible and read it. Ask Jesus to give you his spirit that you may understand what he is saying to this world TODAY. In a world full of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. Grace and peace

4 Days

Observing Jews will celebrate Rosh HaShanah on the sunset of Monday, the 29th of September.http://www.when-is.com/rosh-hashanah-2008.asp

I want to repeat myself this morning when I say that I am NOT predicting anything. It is highly likely that NOTHING will happen over the next days.

If the rapture does not occur, NOTHING CHANGES-except the world collapsing all around you every day. We continue to watch, we continue to BE READY, we continue to pray, we continue to watch the United States being brought to its knees by corruption and greed.

Oh...how the mighty have fallen. I thought America was "one nation under god?" The most "christian" nation on earth? Churches on EVERY street corner YET its also the home of every form of filth and every form of moral degeneration known to man. This nation is the capital of porn, greed, arrogance, and every other vile thing I can think of. Am I "anti-american?" Nope, I just call it like I see it. If you think for one minute that a nation so laden with EVERY SIN IMAGINABLE still enjoys the favor of the Creator, then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you...This nation is all about worship of self. Worship of self is what satanism is, the original sin, pride in self.

The hammer is already swinging over this nation and the world. Babylon is falling. The saddest part of all this is to watch people scamper around looking for answers from CON-gress, and presidential candidates, the same exact people in bed with the bankers who created all this mess we are in today. Nothing has changed. The Lord has always wanted to lead his people directly. He led the Israelites out of Egypt PERSONALLY as a pillar of fire, he wanted to lead Israel in person once they arrived in israel, but the israelites wanted a human king instead, so the Lord gave them one, and they've been exploited by men ever since. When will people WAKE UP? The solution to this world's problems is the Son of God, Jesus Christ........period. One stop shopping, all your answers in one place.

What part of:

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

do people NOT UNDERSTAND?

Rosh Hashanah, the feast of trumpets is 4 days away (from observance). The feast of trumpets is FILLED WITH RAPTURE associations. When we have seen all the Jewish spring feast days fulfilled LITERALLY TO THE DAY, I believe it would be foolish to overlook this feast day and its prophetic significance. The next feast day to be fulfilled IS the feast of trumpets, which is 4-5 days away. I plan to BE WATCHING AND BE READY should the Lord decide to return during the feast of trumpets. What if Jesus does show up? Think about it, what if he does? No man knows the day or hour, we all know that, but some day, some hour JESUS WILL SHOW UP. On the day that happens, if you can get nothing else out of your mouth when you are standing before him, you can at least say "Lord, I was watching, and I was as ready as I could be when you showed up." In the end, his Spirit gets the credit for any readiness we may have as well. Unless the Holy Spirit clues us in to what we as individuals need to do to be right with Him, we will be clueless. I might have more work to do in one area of my life than you do and vice versa. We might not be perfect yet, but we are, or should be striving for perfection. Why? To please HIM in every way. Why? Because we love him. Why? Because HE FIRST LOVED US. If we love him, we will obey his commands, thats what the bible says, look it up. For anyone to say that you can be saved without faith and obedience is downright satanic. Does the bible say we are supposed to be like Jesus? Yea. Was Jesus faithful and obedient? Yea. End of story. I was reading a new (to me) OSAS lie yesterday. This guy was talking about "soul salvation and spirit salvation." That was his way to justify OSAS. You could lose one of those salvations but yet still be "saved" if you had the other. Its amazing how many different lies they will come up with to circumvent the truth. If OSAS is true, then John 15:1-10 is all a lie (in addition to everything else in the bible that says you must REMAIN 'IN CHRIST"). Read it for yourself. IF YOU ENDURE, IF YOU REMAIN, IF YOU KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, IF IF IF IF IF..GET IT?

The rapture of true believers could be just days away, I don't know that for sure, neither do you, but what I do know is that the time for lies is OVER. The time for deception and excuses is over. No more games, no more procrastination. The difference in the decisions you make about your life TODAY could determine where you end up during the tribulation. The Lord is coming back for a SPOTLESS BRIDE. He expects HOLINESS. Do not be deceived. He is looking at your heart, you can say whatever you want, but he who searches your mind and heart cannot be lied to. Trust me on this one, when I write everyday, I AM PREACHING TO MYSELF as much or more than to any of you. We are human beings, weak and short lived, we are of no account. He is everything. I'm begging you to get ready and be watching. As I look around and see all the blind people in this world, it breaks my heart to think that any one of them will have to go through the hell on earth thats about to hit this earth like a hammer. The bible says that the philidelphia church, which WILL BE SPARED from the tribulation, it will be WEAK. That's me, weak. But remember this, 2 Corinthians 12:9 ... And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strengthis made perfect in weakness......grace and peace

5 days

Rosh HaShanah in 2008 will start on Tuesday, the 30th of September and will continue for 2 days until Wednesday, the 1st of October.

Note that in the Jewish calander, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Jews will celebrate Rosh HaShanah on the sunset of Monday, the 29th of September.
http://www.when-is.com/rosh-hashanah-2008.asp

29 Sept is 5 days away. I'm not setting dates, or predicting when the rapture will occur, what I am saying is that I really really believe the rapture is at our doorstep. If you study the prophetic implications of the Jewish feast days, Rosh Hashanah stands out. Yom Teru'ah, also known as the feast of trumpets is LOADED with rapture symbology. What that means to me is that leading up to and including this Rosh Hashanah, I am in a heightened state of watchfulness and readiness for the rapture-you should be too. Jesus is returning for his bride, the true church-SOON.

For those people who have the spirit of the living God living within them, the rapture SEASON should not take them by surprise. The actual day and hour will be something none of us knows, but the SEASON will be a no brainer. LOOK AROUND YOU, open your eyes. The I's are being dotted and the T's crossed on every word of prophesy in our world daily. If you cannot see the tribulation world taking shape before your eyes today, then you are blind. If you are blind, that means you need the spirit of God in you. To have the spirit of God in you, you must be "in Christ". A one time decision is not enough. If I "make a decision" to run a marathon today, then tomorrow I "make a decision" not to run anymore, will I still get the reward for running the race? You have to run the entire race, from the start to the finish, ALL OF IT, to get anything. You have to stay on the track. You don't have to have the fastest time, but you do have to finish the race. Don't take my word for it, read your bible. Do you have to have faith to be saved? Yea. Do you have to be obedient to be saved? Yea. Do you have to remain "in Christ" to be saved? Yea. Heres slam dunk proof:

John 15:5"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. 8This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

How many more times could he possibly say IF YOU REMAIN IN ME? IF..........is a conditional word. I did'nt say IF, Jesus did.

If the rapture occurs sometime over the next week, will you be ready for it? I can tell you that if the rapture does not happen sometime over the next days, I'm not letting by guard down one iota. I am 100% TOTALLY convinced that the rapture of the true church will be pre-tribulation. I have read every word that the pre-wrath and post-trib community has written to prove their point, and they utterly, completely failed to win me over. I can tell you that Luke 21:36 is a HUGE stumbling block to both groups. You want to know one thing none of them could explain? How could the rapture be mid or post-tribulation and at the same time meet the scriptural requirement to ESCAPE ALL, that's about to happen? They have nada, zero, nothing to come back with. Dig a little deeper and tie the ESCAPE ALL promise into Matt 24:36 and Luke 17:26, and then the pre-wrath/post-tribbers REALLY have problems. Did Noah ESCAPE ALL of the flood judgement? Yep, he did'nt tread water for A SECOND with the wicked. Did Lot get a shred of fire on his garments when the Lord hammered sodom and gomorrah? Nope, ZERO, NOTHING, NADA, Lot ESCAPED ALL. Jesus clearly links what happened with Noah and Lot in the past, with what we should expect in the future. The rapture will be pre-trib, case closed. With the pre-trib rapture firmly established, and the Tribulation world rapidly forming before our very eyes, what does that mean? It means that time is VERY SHORT. It means that our master is about to show up. It means that those who have the spirit of God within them are now getting the wedding gowns on. It means we will not entertain for a moment, the possibility of getting caught like the foolish virgins in Matt 25.

Be ready today, be ready today, not tomorrow, not on Rosh Hashanah, be ready TODAY. Today remains a day where the Lord's grace is extended. Right now, this moment as I write this, the Lord's wrath has not been poured out in tribulation judgement, but right now is about to pass away. How many different ways can I say THERES NO TIME LEFT. If you consider yourself to be "in Christ" then I prayed for you this morning, that you may be counted worthy to escape ALL that's about to happen. I prayed for my family and for myself. I write these things to any who care to read it, but this writing is NOT about me, its about WE. I consider myself to be an absolute NOBODY. The only thing about me that is noteworthy in any way is that I strive to remain "in Christ." There are churches on every street corner, yet there are few left in this world who are truly "in Christ." Soon, oh so very soon, that's going to be the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS. Wake up, be ready, be watching. Love, grace and peace to you.

Yom Teru'ah (The Feast of Trumpets) – (Leviticus 23: 24)-AKA Feast of TRUMPETS, 6 days from Today.

The name Rosh Hashanah means the (Jewish) New Year. It also is the following:

Tishri 1
The day no man can know the day or the hour
The day of the new moon
The day of the blowing of the Trumpets
The day of the last trump
The day of the awakening blast
The day of the Resurrection
The beginning of the 10 days of awe
One long day
The Day of the King (coronation)
The day the King takes a bride (wedding)
The day that all men will pass under the rod
The day that God divides mankind into 3 categories; the Wholly Righteous, Wholly Wicked, and the Intermediates.

There's no time left to hide your head in the sand. This world is about to turn upside down. In case you have'nt been watching, the entire financial system is about to collapse. Many baby boomers have had their life savings evaporate overnight due to the greed and corruption of those who rule this world. This financial instability is causing significant unrest. I can tell you for a fact that the rapture of the church is the trigger that will finally flip this world over on its head. Things have been allowed to deteriorate to a point where the removal of the last salt and light (true believers) from this world will be DEVASTATING.

The days of repentance leading up to Rosh Hashahah are meant to get your attention focused back on the creator. Thats what the design was for the Jews, thats what the design is for us. To get us to WAKE UP. The economy, WW3, the imminent arrival of the anti-christ are all sideshows. The main event will be the rapture, the escape, the subsequent judgement of unbelievers in this world and a hope and prayer, a last chance for those on earth to turn back to their creator in repentance. That's the real event.

All of the spring feasts have been fulfilled literally, to the day. Why would this first fall feast (Rosh Hashanah) be any different? That does'nt mean this year necessarily, but it COULD BE this year, like a week from today. What if Jesus comes back sometime over the next 7 days for his bride? Will you be watching? Will you be ready? All this mayhem in the world around us could very well be a last of the last of the last WAKE UP, WARNING calls. Typically, until things get really bad, people forget about their maker. When things finally do get so bad that they can't take it anymore, SOME turn back to God. Most don't. Remember the parable of the virgins in Matt 25. The virgins who were READY went in to the marriage. The ones who were'nt ready came knocking later and Jesus told them to go away. Read it for yourself.

TODAY is the day for you to prepare yourself. TODAY is the day to WAKE UP. TODAY is the day to be watching. Jesus is COMING LIKE A THIEF. Those who mock the "secret" rapture, mock Jesus. Jesus is the one who said he's coming LIKE A THIEF. Guess how thieves come to a house? IN SECRET. Mock at your own peril. God told Noah to come into the ark, THEN THE DOOR WAS SHUT AND JUDGEMENT FELL. Lot was told to come out of Sodom. God told Lot that judgement WOULD NOT fall on Sodom until Lot left. We were told that it will be for us JUST LIKE NOE AND LOT. Read it for yourself. For the first time in my life my spirit senses the acute shortness of time in a way that is unlike any other time. I get the distinct impression that the "thief" is about to show up and do some snatching (harpazo-rapture). Could my impression be off base, its possible. We are not responsible for when the rapture happens, that's our God's department, we are responsible to WATCH AND BE READY. Based on my intuition, I intend to do just that, but on a higher level. If nothing happens this next week or two except maybe the world collapsing around our heads, then I will continue to watch, be ready and pray.

The answer to all our concerns, problems, troubles etc is Jesus Christ, the son of God. We should always pray and not faint (Luke 18). What an incredible thing it will be if the rapture does occur during Yom Teru'ah (The Feast of Trumpets) 2008. It could happen, I'm not saying it will, but I am saying its very possible. BE WATCHING, BE READY. On the day that Jesus comes back for us, nothing, I mean NOTHING ELSE WILL MATTER, except for your standing with him, period. A part of me finds all this hard to grasp. Another part of me is on fire, telling me to BE READY. Soon we will find out whats going to happen. Love, grace and peace be to you who are in Christ Jesus.

Matt 24, The Escape, Pre-Tribulation Rapture

We live in a day of scoffers. The world is crumbling around us and many who are stuck here absolutely HATE the idea that anyone should escape all thats about to happen. This brings me to a discussion of Matt 24. There are many who say that the text in Matt 24 does not address the pre-trib rapture. They quote "christian scholars" and other men in order to make their point. The basics of what actually happens in Matt 24 are not complex at all, lets take a look:

Matt 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left

What are the facts here?

1. Fact: we are talking about a day and hour that no man knoweth, which oh by the way, the day and hour that no man knoweth is also known as the feast of trumpets.

2. Fact: The coming of the Son of Man will be like the days of Noe. The days of Noe are specifically characterized by THIS: before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark. UNTIL THE DAY THAT NOE ENTERED INTO THE ARK? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? FACT: WRATH DID'NT FALL UNTIL NOE ENTERED THE ARK.
3. Fact: Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left

Here's where the dispute comes in. There are those who say that those "taken" are taken away to judgement. Does that in ANY WAY fit with how things were in the days of Noe?

4. Fact: Noe and his family WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO "WENT" ANYWHERE. They went into the ark. The wicked DID'NT GO ANYWHERE, they died in place. Compare this to the "taking" that's going to happen in our near future: According to the story of Noe, the RIGHTEOUS are going to GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, LIKE INTO AN ARK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, the wicked will stay in place and judgement will fall upon them. THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED BEFORE, ITS HOW THE LORD SAYS IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

We are also given the story of Lot. Did Lot stay in Sodom? NO. He LEFT, HE WAS PHYSICALLY REMOVED JUST LIKE NOE. Whats the similarity? The WICKED WERE LEFT IN SODOM, just like they were left outside the ark to face judgement. THE WICKED WENT NOWHERE, they remained in place and died there, period.

Those who argue that somehow the righteous will be left on earth to face judgement and wrath, defy what is written clearly in Luke 17, Matt 24, Luke 21:36, Rev 3:10 and every other place in the bible that spells out to us that there is an ESCAPE for the righteous. The Lord specifically mentions the examples of NOAH AND LOT. Could the Lord have mentioned the example of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego if we were to stay on earth and face the fiery wrath to come? Yea, he could have, BUT HE DID'NT.

The devil and his servants come to kill steal and destroy. If the Lord promised an escape and others come to tell you there is no escape, what does that make them? Thieves? Yep, at a minimum they are thieves.

Some day we will all know, with no debate, what ESCAPE FROM ALL means. I think I know what it means. What does ESCAPE ALL mean to you? According to your faith it will be done unto you. If you are believing to slug it out through the tribulation, then thats on your own head. If that's what the Lord intends, then I will soldier on, just like I am now, but I highly DOUBT things are going to happen that way. How much will be on these peoples heads? Their families will have to go through hell on earth too, all because they refuse to believe what the Lord has written. Time is short, we are going to find out one way or another SOON. This world is collapsing around us. I believe that JUST LIKE NOE AND LOT, me and my family will be PHYSICALLY REMOVED BEFORE JUDGEMENT FALLS on this earth. That's the way the Lord said it was going to happen, thats the way I believe it will happen. Be very careful what you approve of, what you put your faith in. The disciples asked Jesus "increase our faith," we should ask him for the same thing.

Its now one week to the day before Rosh Hashanah. My advice to you is to be watching and be ready for whatever happens. It makes alot of sense to me to upgrade our watchfulness and readiness around a feast day that is impregnated with rapture symbology and terminology. The escape promised WILL COME some day. Just pray that you will be watching and ready on that day. grace and peace

Moving Into New Pad

Hey guys, I'm moving for the next few days into a new abode. Won't have internet till monday. Until then, let me leave you with this thought:

What if only about 3.5-4% of the population is "found worthy" to escape all that's about to happen? For some reason, I do not find that percentage at all unbelievable. Look around, this place, this world is SICK, its ROTTEN, its wicked. When the Lord decides to drop the hammer on this world, when his judgement falls, some people will repent.

I've heard people argue that if all the believers are raptured, who will be left to evangelize the lost? Wel, I seem to remember something in Revelation about 144,000 Jews being sealed. Also we know that some people, a few, just like today will repent. Here's the deal, those who have their eyes open today, who are ready, watching and "in Christ" DON'T NEED to be body slammed in order for the Lord to get their attention, He already has their attention RIGHT NOW. Others just do their own thing, procrastinate, or whatever, then the Lord allows all hell to break out on earth, and suddenly He has their attention (that's good-too bad it took the tribulation to get their attention, but at least they are paying attention and hopefully "in Christ". Then theres all the rest. That group, it doesnt matter what you do to them, they'll never believe, never be "in Christ," and therefore be lost forever.

Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Here's the part that would REALLY make me angry if I were a member of apostianity. There are churches on every corner, staffed with babylonian style priests (pastors), they are EVERYWHERE, and yet only about 4% of the worlds population is going to be counted worthy of the rapture? IF, things end up that way, the members of todays apostianity should take their nicolaitan pastors out and tar and feather them, seriously. TODAY is the day to repent. TODAY is the day to give the Lord your full attention, to open your heart to him, confess anything that needs confessing, getting rid of any extra baggage that could hinder your walk and be WATCHING and READY TODAY.

4% of the world population is still over 20,000,000 people. That's alot of people, HOWEVER relative to the total population of the world, its NOTHING. 96 out of every 100 people living today might not make it. That's a sobering thought. I did'nt say that only a few would make it into heaven, Jesus did (Matt 7:14). I don't know exactly what a FEW is in God's numerical system, but I can reasonably guess its not many. Few means few.

Why do I say all this? I think its my duty as an ambassador of the kingdom thats not of this world to warn people, to remind people of all the unpopular things our king had decreed in his word. A few being saved is not a popular message. Condemning todays apostate churchianity is not popular either, but its a job that needs to be done.

Only a few are going to be saved and only a few are condemning the apostate system we see all around us today, make sense? I would be REALLY ANGRY if I found out that I had been lied to all my life and that those lies cost me everything. Soon, very soon, many many so called christians are going to wake up to the fact that churchianity is a whore and not the wife of the king, and they are part of the religious brothel because everyone around them was doing it, everyone else thought it was okay, so they thought it was ok. Ignorance of the law won't enable you to escape the consequnces of breaking the law. Try going 100 MPH in a 25 MPH school zone and see if the cop lets you out of a ticket because someone else told you the speed limit was 100, so you did 100 in the school zone. Think you'll get out of the ticket? If the Lord really mattered to you, if he was your Lord and king and he was first in your life, you'd find out for yourself. You'd dig and search, you would make yourself ready for your spiritual husband who is about to return for his bride exactly according to the hebrew wedding tradition. Ask the Lord to open your eyes, ask him to show you how short time is. ASK HIM.

Wake up people, open your hearts, open your eyes, LOOK UP, for your redemption draws near. Time is short. Love, grace and peace be to all of you who are "in Christ"

9/17, 12 Days Till Rosh Hashanah

If the rapture does happen soon, it will be a double edged sword for many. One of the thoughts that occured to me about todays apostate churchianity is how they promote the pre-tribulation rapture. The apostate church is full of so much deceit, they promote so many lies, why would satan promote the idea of a pre-tribulation rapture through those he owns in the apostate church? That was my question. Sometimes the truth actually works in the business of kill, steal and destroy.

Think about whats going to happen, when all these apostate so called christians DON'T GET RAPTURED, but millions of others do.....what's that going to do to so called christianity? Read me correctly here, I ABSOLUTELY EXPECT A PRE-TRIB RAPTURE, and I think it's going to DEVASTATE apostianity. Some people are going to see the pre-trib rapture, be devastated and repent. Most will abandon the lie calling itself christianity today. True christianity can still be found in the world today, but it is like hunting for real treasure, it's not laying around on the sidewalks for people to pick up. There are churches on every street corner yet the truth is rarer than pure gold. We still live in a day (today) when the Father and his son, Jesus Christ can be found, by grace and through faith. These days won't last forever. Many believe today that a storm is on the way and almost ready to knock the doors in on this world.

What's going to happen to the pre-wrath and post-trib crowd when the pre-trib rapture occurs? These people refuse to pray for the escape promised in Luke 21:36, do you think they'll get to take part in it? They attempt to rob believers of their hope, and comfort, will they be allowed to escape? We'll find out soon enough. Since the pre-wrath and post-trib crowd DO NOT believe in a pre-trib rapture, how will they explain it when it happens? Satan is prepared to offer the world a VERY COMPELLING lie to explain where the pre-trib saints went to. Will the pre-wrath, post-trib crowd bite on satan's bait? They are positioned perfectly to be deceived by the enemies lies. What if aliens and UFO's show up after the pre-trib rapture, and the explanation is that all the people who disappeared were taken by UFO's? Seems a bit outlandish today, but how crazy will that sound when theres a UFO parked on the white house lawn? Many times the truth is stranger than fiction.

The Lord promised us an escape in Luke 21:36, he promised us an escape in Rev 3:10, he promised us an escape like Noah (Matt 24:36), he promised us an escape like Lot (Luke 17). Noah and Lot escaped with their families, you should be praying for your family. Time is SHORT. What if the rapture occurs sometime during the next 1,2,3,4 weeks? Are you ready? I am treating this season of repentance as a military exercise. If the rapture occurs, I pray that I may be counted worthy of it. I am watching for it, I am hoping for it. I have NO IDEA whether the rapture will occur or not, however I have a distinct internal witness that TIME IS SHORT. No man knows the day or hour, that includes me. WATCHING is commended by the bible, being READY is commended by the bible. Having lamps FULL OF OIL (Holy Spirit) is commended by the bible. I intend to do these things, I exhort you to do these things.

I know that there are many who scoff and ridicule the watching and readiness exercise I am conducting during this season of repentance. Before you scoff or ridicule, think about this for a minute: What's going to happen to the servants who are FOUND WATCHING on the day Jesus shows up? What's going to happen to the servants who are found READY on the day Jesus shows up? What's going to happen to all those who scoff, mock, are found NOT WATCHING AND NOT READY on the day Jesus shows up?

I don't know what soon means. 1 day? 1 week? 1 month? 1 year? I DONT KNOW. I've been saying time is short for awhile now, I believe that more today than I ever have. History as a guide tells us that JESUS WILL NOT come back today or tomorrow or this year, HOWEVER, anyone who tries to drive forward using their rear view mirror is a _______ (you fill in the blank). I get the distinct internal feeling that there is no time left. Look around at this world, its like a staggering drunk man, the pre-trib rapture will be the shove needed to knock the staggering drunk over on his face. This world appears ready, when will our God pull the trigger? We'll find out soon enough I expect. Grace and peace

Don't Question Their Salvation?

I was reading an article recently that had one so called christian debating another so called christian. We'll call them "mr osas believer" and "person y". Mr osas believer is a once saved always saved (OSAS) teacher who goes on to detail how "person y" was displaying all kinds of different satanic behavior. After mr osas believer detailed all of the satanic behavior displayed by "person y", at the end he then says BUT IM NOT QUESTIONING HIS SALVATION.

Let me get this right, you look at another person who is a so called christian, that person is displaying all kinds of "satanic behavior" and you "are'nt going to question their salvation?"

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'll do them a favor, I'll question their salvation. According to OSAS, you can have no faith, no obedience, be exhibiting satanic behavior, and because you "made a decision" for Jesus 15 years ago, you'll still be saved? Sorry, that does'nt wash. These people need to get something through their heads:

For it is by grace that you have been saved THROUGH FAITH......... Ephesians 2:8

What happens when there is no FAITH there anymore? What happens when there is no obedience anymore? John 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments.

These OSAS teachers are playing WITH FIRE. You know what happens when you play with fire don't you?

Condemning "Closet Christians?"

I read an article recently that condemned "closet christians." The article said that its ok to pray in your "closet" but after praying you need to get out and "get involved." That sounds great until you realize that NOWHERE in the bible will you read anything even remotely supportive of that argument. I debated with one of these people once, and they came back at me asking if I advocate "doing nothing?" See, to these people praying is "doing nothing," reading your bible is "doing nothing," in fact, almost everything you saw Jesus do in the gospel accounts was "doing nothing." Jesus did ALOT of praying alone, BZZZZZZZTTTT DOES'NT COUNT according to apostianities reckoning. Jesus did'nt "get involved" with the Roman government of his time to make it more friendly to christianity. He did'nt picket or protest or get involved with Roman politics IN ANY WAY. Let's think about other bible examples, how about Joseph or Moses. They both ended up as high ranking officials within the Egyptian government and NOWHERE do we read about them changing Egypt for Christ or God the Father...ITS NOT IN THERE. Gosh, according to todays form of babylonianity they "did nothing," they were "closet jews."

Read your bibles people, today's apostate preachers and teachers are OF THIS WORLD so they speak FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF THIS WORLD. Here's a newsflash for them: OUR KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD.

These people say that wickedness is encroaching on the christian way of life, they are right, IT ALWAYS HAS. But here's another newsflash for these babylonian christians WE WAR NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD. So go ahead, picket, protest, "get involved" ALL YOU WANT, satan is laughing his head off at you. Todays so called christians are a joke, all their efforts add up to nothing. Do you think satan trembles when you attend a political rally to support your latest and greatest corrupt politician who is going to "make a difference" for you? Do you think he trembles when you go to a babylonian so called christian youth camp to "make a difference?" Give me a break.

When you pray, and when your prayers are heard, satan trembles, now THAT is making a difference. The ways of our Fathers kingdom are foolishness to this world and those who belong to it, but the Fathers ways are filled with power. Read your bibles and WAKE UP. When the people of this world spout the same old tired, worn out sermonizing at you, preaching the worlds ways and means, don't walk, but RUN the other way and never turn back. These men are fools.

Jesus did NOT get involved with Roman politics, when he had a chance to speak to roman politicians he said almost nothing (pilate). Jesus DID pray, he did heal the sick, restore sight to the blind, cure lepers, raise the dead, he DID CONDEMN THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS OF HIS DAY. Curious thing, I never hear these babylonian christians telling anyone to do what Jesus did to "make a difference."

1 John 2 :6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Condemning religious leaders of today and praying don't seem to be very popular with todays apostate teachers, but THATS WHAT JESUS DID. The things Jesus did don't seem to count much towards credit with the world and vice versa. If you want to serve the world and "make a difference" in it, then by all means, do things that count toward changing the world. If however, you want to serve Jesus, read your bibles and find out what counts toward credit with him.

Todays so called christians work to change the whole world but never take a hard look at themselves. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his own soul? Matt 16:26
How foolish. There are so called christians by the MILLIONS in this world, and they ALL think they are going to heaven, they all think they are 'saved' yet the bible clearly says that only a few are going to make it in (Matt 7:14). There is precious little time left to WAKE UP and get right with the Lord. So called christianity will not save you, your babylonian priest/pastor won't save you, your so called christian friends wont save you, a false christ wont save you. Only Jesus, the true son of God will save you. Better find him before its too late.

grace and peace

9/16 Thirteen Days Till Rosh Hashanah

According to Jewish practice, we are in days that should be all about REPENTANCE.

What happens if the rapture does not happen within 30 days? Tough question? Hardly. We keep watching, we stay ready. We are soldiers, remember that.

2 Timothy 2:3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ
... Join me in suffering like a good soldier of the Messiah Jesus.

Soldiering comes hand in hand with patient endurance. I look at the preparation for imminent rapture as a military exercise. We gear up physically and mentally as if its the real thing. If nothing happens, it was a good training event, and we'll be even more ready the next time. You do whatever it is you need to do to get ready. The "escape" is coming, that's not my opinion, thats a FACT. I did'nt say there was an escape from ALL thats about to happen, JESUS DID Luke 21:36. I don't know the day or hour when Jesus will come back for us, only the Father knows. Our Father told us to be ready, Jesus told us to be watching and ready, so salute sharply and execute the orders given to us.
Laugh if you want to. Scoff if you want to. There is coming a time VERY SOON when nobody will be laughing.


What happens if the rapture does take place sometime over the next 13-30 days? That one is harder to wrap our heads around. How does one grasp with the mind being with Jesus 24/7? No more daily grind, no more fighting the flesh, no more tears, no more pain. Does that register with you? How will it feel to always be strong, always feel pure, always feel totally loved and known deeply? What will it be like to not feel any need? What will it feel like to be free of the flesh, to be a spirit? What will it be like to ask any question and get an instant answer thats 100% true, every time? What will it be like to never be lied to again? Our minds cannot concieve of how good things will be.

There are many who mock Jesus' words that there is an escape. They mock the idea that anyone will escape the tribulation. These mockers forget who wrote the bible. They also forget that the tribulation has A PURPOSE. It's not some arbitrary boot camp to make all believers suffer in order to make it into heaven. One of the purposes of the tribulation is to punish the wicked. Another purpose is to bring Israel back to a place where they are "in Christ." The majority of those calling themselves jews today are just like the majority of those calling themselves christians today, they are travelers on the broad way, heading through the wide gate.

Matt 7:13 Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide is the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it; 14 how strait is the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!

I can tell you that it brings me zero pleasure to say that. In fact, although I should be overjoyed that the rapture draws very near, I am troubled by all that awaits this world. Ask the Lord to see the way he sees, ask him to allow you to think and feel the way he thinks and feels. When he opens your eyes you'll know what I'm talking about.

I whipped out my e-calculator this morning and calculated what 1% of the world population is......its 60,000,000. Wow. Even if only 1% makes it in, thats still 60 million people. I pray that you, my family and myself will be counted worthy to make it in. I honestly do think that I am the least of my brothers, a nobody, but I don't need to be "somebody." That's the key, people in this world walk all over each other so they can elevate themselves to the status of "somebody." Think about this for a second, we were created for the Father's glory right? We work and strive for his glory, we desire to glorify him....now, think long and hard about this: we are "in Jesus", and Jesus is "in the Father," we in him, him in us, one. The Lord our God is one, remember that? Think about what that means. If God is "somebody" we don't have to be anybody, we just have to be in him. Think about it. It's not about me, its about WE. We are about to find out what family really means.

grace and peace

9/15 Fouteen Days Till Rosh HaShanah

So, Hebraically speaking, what's going on right now? Today?

The month of Elul is a time of repentance in preparation for the High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Tradition teaches that the month of Elul is a particularly propitious time for repentance. This mood of repentance builds through the month of Elul to the period of Selichot, to Rosh Hashanah, and finally to Yom Kippur.
http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm

We are in the month of Elul right now. A TIME OF REPTENTANCE in preparation for the HIGH HOLY DAYS of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Look around you. The spirit of prostitution and apostasy is EVERYWHERE. Not just in religious circles, but EVERYWHERE. I've noticed over the past couple of years how its become the "in" thing for women all over the place to use the tonality of a prostitute in everyday conversation. The manner of speaking is like "valley girls" of the 1980's meets prostitute, meets beverly hills rich woman. Listen to singers like jessica simpson and any other female pop artists in that genre of music and hear the blatant sexually dripping way the lyrics are being sung. It makes me want to vomit. I say all this not to pick on women, or simpson or any other one person, I want to make the point that this world has prostituted itself to itself. When Jesus comes back, will he find faith on earth? Good question huh?

I've been saying for a long time now that time is short. From Gods perspective time has always been short, now its getting short from mens perspectives too. What if the rapture occurs sometime within the next 30 days? From the true jewish perspective we are in a time that should be characterized by REPENTANCE. Not prostitution.
The father has always had a heart to warn people before He proclaims judgment. He warned the people before the flood, and He warned Nineveh before it was ruined. He does not want anyone to receive the wrath of His judgment. Question is, is anyone listening?

Guess what, we are in the days of repentance right now, do you know what comes after Rosh Hashanah? It's called Yom Kippur. Here's a little ditty on this Jewish day: The name “Yom Kippur” means “Day of Atonement,” and that pretty much explains what the holiday is. It is a day set aside to “afflict the soul,” to atone for the sins of the past year.

If the rapture were to happen during rosh hashanah, this Yom Kippur would be one to remember. Atonement would be the right word for it too. 7 year tribulation to atone for sins, and get right with the Creator. I'm not saying that anything will happen over the next 30 days, but man O man, are the signs really starting to stack up. If the rapture did occur on Rosh Hashanah of this year, it would literally fulfill the Word which says it would happen on a day and hour that no man knoweth.

This world is on life support. This past weekend some MAJOR BANKS failed. I read an article where one big banker said that all these bank failures are leading us into a "new one world financial order." Guess what its going to take in order to implement the mark of the beast system? Answer: a "new one world financial order." It's coming together right before our eyes. Time is short, there are no guarantees that we live to see tomorrow, or the rapture, we have to be ready and watching TODAY. We should be praying that we may be counted worthy to ESCAPE ALL THATS ABOUT TO HAPPEN (Luke 21:36). Only a fool would disobey that command. My prayers are with all those who are in Christ, and all those who will be in Christ in the future. Keep the faith. grace and peace

Watch-Why the Feast of Trumpets 2008 Might be Special

Mark 13:33 Take heed, watch and pray, for ye have not known when the time is; 34 as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, did command also the porter that he may watch; 35 watch ye, therefore, for ye have not known when the lord of the house doth come, at even, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or at the morning; 36 lest, having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping; 37 and what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.'

What happens to the people who have decided they don't need to watch? Dunno, things probably not gonna go well for them, but thats just my guess.

Matt 24:36 36 'And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known -- not even the messengers of the heavens -- except my Father only; 37 and as the days of Noah -- so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man;

The key here is the DIRECT LINK between the unknown day and hour, and the days of Noah.

What happened in the days of Noah? Noah was taken to safety in an Ark, while the wicked were left to perish. We should expect something directly along those lines for the unknown day and hour we are WATCHING for now.

The unknown day and hour is another name for the feast of trumpets

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Mark 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
Luke 12:39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee

Did you know that God physically fulfilled Israel’s first four spring feasts of Israel to the exact day?
Jesus was crucified on the exact day of the Feast Of Passover and was buried (placed in the tomb) before sundown, the end of that day. He remained in the ground for three days fulfilling the Feast of Unleavenbread, and He resurrected from the dead on the day of the Feast of First Fruits. Fifty days later the Holy Spirit came just as Jesus had promised He would. The Holy Spirit came upon believers on the exact day of the fourth major feast, the Feast Of Weeks, which we know as Pentecost.

the fifth major feast which is The Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh HaShanah

How many more clues could the Lord possible give us? The feast of TRUMPETS? YEA, TRUMPETS.

in 1 Cor. 15:52 and 1 Thes 4:16, said believers would be raptured at THE SOUNDING OF A TRUMPET, hmmm coincidence?

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. Leviticus 23:23-25

No man, in any given year, can know the exact day or hour for the beginning of the Feast Of Trumpets which is celebrated in Israel even today. The commemoration will begin on one day or the other, (the first or the second day of the seventh month of Tishri) and at some unknown hour on one of those two days.

I can tell you, that if the rapture does not occur on the feast of trumpets (whichever year it happens) I'll be shocked. This year, the feast of trumpets is 17 days away. Could the rapture occur then? Yea, it could. Will I be watching for it? YES. Will you?

We are commanded to watch and pray. We are taught to be ready, unlike the unwise virgins who were'nt ready. Things are getting ready to turn upside down for this world.
The end of this month, many who are not even believers things are going to "get hot" for the world, that's means things get REALLY bad. Especially here in the US. Remove the salt and light from the world, remove the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit, and you get hell on earth. The day of the rapture and every day after that for 7 years will be really really bad days. I suggest you go look at Luke 21:36 and paste it to your foreheads. Pray that you may be counted worthy. grace and peace

Rapture Thoughts This Morning

I want to restate this morning that I have NOT predicted that the rapture will occur within the next 30-60 days.

I have NOT prophesied ANYTHING

With that out of the way, what have I said? THERE ARE SIGNS EVERYWHERE pointing to the closeness of the rapture. I HAVE SAID that we should increase our watchfulness and readiness to go, should the rapture occur.

There's a big difference between predicting that the rapture will occur, and telling you to be ready for it in case it does happen. Big, huge difference.

We are watchmen, WATCHING for our Lords return. When you are watching, guess what, you might SEE SOMETHING? pretty radical idea huh?

As a watchman, what have I seen?

Well, I know the rapture is coming, I've seen that in the bible.
I've also seen in the bible the phrase "no man knows the day or hour" which points directly to
a. The rapture
b. The feast of trumpets/Rosh Hashanah
c. Jewish wedding ceremony/our wedding to Christ

I see LOTS of indicators that something really extraordinary is about to happen to this world in the near future (centered around late Sept/early Oct)

and guess what sits smack dab in the middle of late Sept/early Oct? THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS, which points to the rapture.

What will or will not happen, I have no idea, what I do know, is that we are to be watching and ready. Half the virgins in Matt 25 did'nt get to go to the wedding because they were'nt ready. Only a few are going to make it into heaven, don't you want to be one of them (Matt 7:14)?

We are promised an escape from ALL thats about to happen. If things are getting ready to "happen" down here, does'nt it make sense to start looking for Jesus? When these things BEGIN TO HAPPEN, look up, your redemption draws near. That's what the bible says.

We have very clear instructions from the Lord that we are to WATCH AND PRAY that we may be counted worthy to escape all thats about to happen and stand before Jesus. I take that command very seriously, you should to.

What if the Lord comes back for us sometime over the next 30 days? What then? Think about what you should be thinking and doing today to ensure you are ready to go. Put this world behind you. Yea, we have to carry on with our lives until the moment he comes, but don't be caught unprepared. Remember the virgins, remember lot's wife, remember Jesus is coming like a thief, remember that most people won't be ready, remember that most people won't be watching. The herd is running full throttle right over a cliff, stop following them. The good shepherd has a peaceful place set aside for us, make sure you are found worthy of going to it.

I asked the Lord AGAIN last night and this morning if he would give me anything else to say. The only things that resonate are WATCH, PRAY, BE READY. I asked him again if I should take down my post about the feast of trumpets and the rapture. Searching inside, I think once again the answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT. For some reason the answer NO to taking down anything I've written about the rapture being soon is rock solid. Should I take it down I ask...NO is the inner witness. So I'm hammering the point home again. I'm not predicting when the rapture will happen, but it is coming, that's a fact. You and I should be watching and ready for it. I'm done for now, grace and peace

something EXTRAORDINARY is about to happen?

http://www.arlingtoninstitute.org/tai-alert-15-impending-event-alert

More and More...Pre-Trib Rapture Signs

Be ready for it. I've listed over the past couple of days my thoughts on the possibility of the rapture occuring sometime soon. I'm not the only one who thinks somethings about to happen..

http://www.arlingtoninstitute.org/tai-alert-15-impending-event-alert

Oh yea, you see the double tap of powerful earthquakes?

Powerful earthquakes (PLURAL) strike Asia
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/7609574.stm

TWO powerful eathquakes hit back to back, within minutes today. ARE YOU AWAKE YET? signs signs everywhere...get ready, be watching, be ready

grace and peace

Pre-Trib Rapture

As I was out running last night I asked the Lord again about taking my rapture post down, I asked again this morning. Everything inside me says to leave it up, so up it stays.

What if the rapture does'nt happen during this feast of trumpets/rosh hashanah? We keep watching and we stay ready. Every day that goes by that the rapture does'nt happen, makes it more likely that the next day it will. It is coming, not if, but when. Rosh HaShanah/Feast of Trumpets is a time of year when we should ALWAYS be on our toes, especially ready for the rapture. When the Lord says "no man knows the day or hour" that could literally mean no man knows the day or hour AND it could at the same time mean the Feast of Trumpets, they both point to the same thing.

It occurred to me recently that we can add another piece of the puzzle that makes this particular Feast of Trumpets/Rosh HaShanah special. Have you read about the atom collider that started working yesterday? People have filed lawsuits against it since they believe this machine could end the world:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23844529/

They cranked up this machine yesterday, just so happens around the time of Rosh HaShanah, they will be doing to kinds of experiments that some fear could end the world, etc. I don't think that machine will end the world, but I do see some strange things attached to its usage. Have you read about the 16 US soldiers who "committed suicide" in Iraq together, taking some "powerful narcotics" that made them look like 5000 year old mummies? Strange? yea

http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=68821&sectionid=351020201
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ce0_1220954799

Now read this one:
US Troops Commit Mass Suicide After Babylon ‘Stargate’ Opened
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1138.htm

Here's what occurred to me: when the rapture happens, this world is going to call it anything but the rapture. There will be many different things offerred as reasons the people disappeared. This atom smashing machine is feared by many as a doomsday device, should people be raptured, these same people can/will point to that machine and say "see, we told you bad things would happen, you sucked those people into a black hole" or something along those lines.

Some other pieces of information that put me on alert for this next 30 days I won't share here.

Something I will add, is the idea that these days we are living in, are not like past days. What's different? Try, WORLD WIDE UNPRECEDENTED CHRISTIAN APOSTASY. You want to know what's different about today compared to the past, look at that piece of evidence REAL hard. People have been saying the end of the world is near for a long time, but christian apostasy has'nt EVER been like it is today. There is very little light, and very little salt left in the world. Jesus said true believers are salt and light. Without salt and light you get spoilage and darkness. That's where we are today.

18 days until Rosh HaShanah. Will the Lord rapture us during that specific "unknown day and hour?" I guess we'll find out.

I want to also include a note here of how the Lord speaks to me. I have never had a dream, vision, audible voice, or anything else like that from the Lord. I have absolutely felt his tangible presence, but that is very rare as well. The bible says that the Lord speaks to us in different ways at different times. He is not limited in any way. He can speak to us through his word (the Bible), through other people, through events in our lives, by things that come across our paths in daily life, by making things stand out here or there, the ways are almost limitless. Typically when I ask the Lord questions, he answers me with my inner peace on the subject. Sometimes he will cause thoughts to lazily, subtely enter into my conscious mind. He always comes to me in a still and quiet voice. He speaks in voices that take FAITH to hear, which is to say, there's nothing sensory about it, the flesh is totally excluded from the experience. Since he uses such subtle ways of speaking, I ask myself sometimes, was that the Lord trying to say something to me? If I really want to know about something I persist in asking. Remember the story of the unjust judge and all the other words in the bible that tell us to persist. If you really want something you will stick with it.

We don't have long to wait to find out if the heightened rapture alert state is warranted. If not, we go back "down" from severe to HIGH. Meantime be faithful, be watching, be ready. grace and peace

Rapture, Lots Wife and You

I asked the Lord last night and again this morning if I should take down that post I put up yesterday on the rapture. Everything inside me says "keep it up." The thought about the rapture post that has percolated into my consciousness is this: If I have even the slightest suspicion, if I have any inkling, any hint that the rapture MIGHT be about to happen, I need to say something. As things stand, I do have a hint, I do have a suspicion that the rapture might be about to take place, so I said something about it. For years now I have believed that the feast of trumpets/rosh hashanah timeframe was a time to be on HIGH ALERT. The rapture could very well take place during that time. As I write this, I have additional hint/suspicion that it might happen. I am prophesying NOTHING, remember that. Maybe the Lord gave me a clue or two, maybe he did'nt, either way, it in no way hurts or does any harm to any believer to be in a heightened state of awareness, and preparedness during this time. If the Lord shows up, well, enough said, if not, you did what you were supposed to be doing anyway...watching and ready.

This leads me to Lot's wife. As part of our preparation to depart, we need to take special note of the Lord's warning in regard to Lot's wife. What did he say?

Luke 17 :30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together

Gen 19:15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. 16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. 17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. 18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my LORD: 19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: 20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. 21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. 22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. 24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. 26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

The bottom line for us who are watching and ready for the Lord's return, is..we have to settle in our hearts that we are done with this world. Think about it, the Lord graciously allowed Lot's entire family to leave Sodom. Lot's wife walked out with her family, and with the Lord, but that was'nt enough for her. There was "stuff" back in Sodom that she was'nt "over" yet, so she looked back. What the Lord is telling us is, when our day to walk/ride..whatever, out of Sodom comes, your heart needs to be done with the world. If you get to leave this filthy place with your God and your family, that needs to be enough. Don't let your heart turn back. If you still have worldly attachments that will cause you to long for the world on the day the Lord comes for us, things might not go well for you, like they did'nt go well for Lot's wife. That's part of being ready. Be ready. Tell your wife or husband to remember Lot's wife, they need to be clued into this as well. I can tell you that I will not be happy if my wife turns back to the world and I see her turn into a pillar of salt, or something worse..NOT GOOD. The Lord warned you about Lot's wife, I'm reminding you of that warning. Laugh if you want to, or be ready, its up to you.

Today is Sept 10, that means theres 19 more days till Rosh Hashanah. You need to be watching and ready today though. Nobody promised you or me that we'll live to see tomorrow. Be watching, be ready, be watching, be ready, be watching, be ready.

The bible clearly says that in the end times, mockers will come, scoffing at our belief in the Lord's return. The bible was right, I see them everywhere. I can tell you that I'm not troubled in the least by these people though. The thought that maybe I am keeping spiritual company with people like NOAH, who endured endless scoffing and ridicule is encouraging.

I will continue to ask the Lord about this issue. I take it seriously, you should too. I am not a prophet or a minister or a teacher, but I am an ambassador of the kingdom. In that capacity, its my duty to convey the kingdom's message, which is what's written by the king of our kingdom, which is the bible.

If..................the rapture does occur sometime over the next 30 days. Think about how good things are going to be. You'll never have a sad day again...EVER, you'll never have a bad day again, EVER. Those in world history who have climbed the heights of worldly success will never come close, not even remotely to how good things are going to be for you when you are in the presence of your God, FOREVER. The message of the bible, and the message of prophecy as stated in the bible was put there to give you HOPE. Anything or anyone who attempts to steal that hope is a thief and an enemy. Be watching and ready, hugs for you all. Grace and peace

Rapture Alert




We know that the bible says "no man knows the day or hour" that Christ will return. Have you ever seen the Dept of Homeland Security Terror alert system? Here's a picture of it:

Notice that none of the levels tells you absolutely that there will be an attack, they are just levels of probability. Right now, if this chart was a rapture alert system I would put us at a "high" bordering on "severe" rapture watch. Let me start out by saying that I have NOT heard the Lord's voice speak directly to me on this. I have however, seen several indications which lead me to believe that over the near term future we should be especially watchful. Our escape draws near.

Luke 21:36 watch ye, then, in every season, praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.'

Those who mock and ignore the commands within Luke 21:36 do so at their own peril.

There are many reasons to believe that the rapture will occur very soon. If you are not familiar with how the Jewish marriage ceremony and Rosh Hashanah relate to the rapture, stop reading this and go read up on those two topics now. This will get you started:

http://www.linkjesus.com/introtrumpets.htm

then read

http://www.linkjesus.com/trumpets.htm

Serious stuff. Guess what? Rosh HaShanah 2008 goes from 9/29 through 10/1. That's 20 days away or so. You'll find out after reading the two pieces above that "no man knows the day or hour" has multiple meanings, all directly relating to the rapture, the feast of trumpets, and the jewish wedding ceremony. I've seen some things over the past months that lead me to believe that starting this feast of trumpets, 20 days from now we go on HIGH to SEVERE rapture watch footing.

You know that we are supposed to be watching. I'm not predicting anything here. I'm saying we should be in a high watchfullness/readiness posture. The bible clearly tells us in multiple places, when Jesus comes back for us, He's expecting to see certain things. If you are'nt watching, if you are'nt ready, you will suffer for it. My entire professional life has revolved around the military. I know what it means to be on a heightened alert. I hope you know what it means. The Lord has not left us completely in the dark. He can hint and give clues to what He's going to do. He loves us and he always warns before he acts.

1 thess 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief

I believe this scripture is about to get personal for many people:

Matt 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I can tell you that I plan to be ready and watching, on alert every day for the near term future, starting right now. If you suspect that your Lord and master is about to return any minute, you'd be a fool not to be ready to meet him at the door when he opens it.

The military conducts readiness exercises all the time, to prepare during peacetime for what might happen during wartime. It's still peacetime, but war is just around the corner.

I suspect that something big is going to happen soon.

Let me repeat, the Lord has not appeared to me, given me a dream, or anything else like that. What he might have done is drop some clues. However, as you can read on the first page of this blog, I consider myself to be the least of my brothers, those who believe in the true Jesus, Son of God. So, I plan to step up my prayer life, to pay extra attention to the things that have lasting value, to inquire of the Lord daily what I should be doing with the hours that are left. Remember, this is a train thats coming through one time, once, that's it. No second chances. You can get into heaven after the rapture, sure, but those who convert after seeing the rapture saints depart will pay a terrible price for it. I don't think there will be any more mocking and sneering at pre-trib believers once this world sees large scale disappearances. The world won't call "the disappearances" the rapture of course, they'll call it many other things. It will benefit us to be super vigilant, to be over prepared. The end of the world as you know it draws near. These are the words resonating in my spirit:

WATCH

BE READY

I don't know how else I can say it. grace and peace

Predicting the Future


The bible is very clear regarding what's about to happen. I know there are many people in the world who either 1. don't believe a rapture is going to happen at all or 2. don't believe it will be pre-tribulation. Regardless what they believe, we know what's coming. Let's take a look at what the bible says:

Matt 24:36 'And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known -- not even the messengers of the heavens -- except my Father only; 37 and as the days of Noah -- so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man; 38 for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark, 39 and they did not know till the flood came and took all away; so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man. 40 Then two men shall be in the field, the one is received, and the one is left; 41 two women shall be grinding in the mill, one is received, and one is left.

You don't need any phony seminary degree to figure out what the bible is saying here. What's coming is going to happen JUST LIKE THE DAYS OF NOAH. Well, just like the days of Noah is going to upset ALOT of so called churchianity. Why? What do we know about the days of Noah?

1. Business as usual until................n the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark. What happened? It was business as usual until when? THE DAY NOAH ENTERED THE ARK. What does that tell us about the future? Everything is going to be business as usual until the day the righteous enter their "ark". Remember, the Holy Spirit says "and as the days of Noah -- so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man" They are going to be just like each other (the days).

2. The wicked get blindsided-and they did not know till the flood came and took all away. So the righteous go into their "ark" first, just like Noah went into his ark, THEN the wicked get blindsided, just like the flood caught the wicked by surprise in Noah's day.

3. If you are righteous, like Noah, your house gets saved-Genesis 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
Genesis 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. Genesis 7:5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.

4. After we enter our "ark" just like Noah, what happens? Genesis 7:13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; ... Genesis 7:16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

The righteous go into the ark, then the Lord shuts the door, just like it happened in Noah's day. Gosh that door shutting sounds awfully familiar, where have I seen that before? Oh yea:

Revelation 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 which must be hereafter.

AND

Matthew 25 :1 'Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom; 2 and five of them were prudent, and five foolish; 3 they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil; 4 and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps. 5 'And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping, 6 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him. 7 'Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps, 8 and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out; 9 and the prudent answered, saying -- Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go ye rather unto those selling, and buy for yourselves. 10 'And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts, and the door was shut; 11 and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us; 12 and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not known you. 13 'Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.

God told Noah to "come into" the ark, indicating that God was in the ark. (Genesis 7:1)

Rev 4:1 After these things I saw, and lo, a door opened in the heaven, and the first voice that I heard is as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, 'Come up hither, and I will shew thee what it behoveth to come to pass after these things;


Here's something else to remember about what's coming. If the bible is true, and I believe it is, that as things were during Noah's day, so they will be for us, consider this:

Noah was physically separated from the wicked. The wicked remained where they were, NOAH WENT INTO THE ARK. So much for post-trib and pre-wrath arguments. If they were right, Noah would have been out treading water with the wicked during the flood. Also notice, the Ark floated ABOVE the waters. Wrath was below, Noah was above. So, for all those people who would say that there will be no pre-trib rapture, tell that to Noah, tell that to Jesus. We know what to expect. Physical separation from the wrath that's about to come. If it happened that way for Noah, we can expect it to happen that way for us. We can expect the event before us to take place just the way it did for Noah.

Noah went into an ark, we will go into something like an ark (place of safety)

Noah was physically separated/segregated from the wicked, we will be physically separated/segregated from the wicked

Noah did not tread water with the wicked while they were dying, we will not tread water with the wicked while they are dying

Noah's family went into the ark, our family will go into the ark (i suspect you should pray for them before the 'flood' shows up)

There is no difference between those who mocked Noah's Ark in Genesis, and those who mock the pre-trib rapture today. They were both created for ESCAPE from the wrath to come. Those who want no part in this pre-flood Ark, or pre-trib rapture, bring the flood on their own heads.

Jesus promised us a pre-flood escape when he tells us that it will be for us, just as it was for Noah. He does'nt stop there. He also gives us:

Rev 3: 10 'Because thou didst keep the word of my endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of the trial that is about to come upon all the world, to try those dwelling upon the earth.

AND

Luke 21:36 watch ye, then, in every season, praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.'

Noah was counted worthy to escape the flood in his day. Will you be counted worthy to escape the flood that's about to come on this world in our days? The post-trib and pre-wrath doctrines have been created by an enemy to steal, kill and destroy. Noah DID NOT get on the ark mid-flood, or post-flood THATS A FACT. Open your eyes before its too late.

WAKE UP
