Since the Feast of Trumpets 2025 or thereabouts, there has been a tangible, perceptable shift in the atmosphere that everyone can feel or sense. Something is different now. We have trouble putting our finger on the exact cause or source of this "difference" we all feel or sense but we know the difference is real and it is not going away. Whatever shifted, or changed is not going away.
What is this shift or change? Its not one thing, its many things all headed in the same direction. To summarize it as briefly as possible we can call it Revelation. The last book of the Bible is Revelation. What does revelation mean? It is a revealing of things, an uncovering or displaying plainly. There is a purpose for this exposing of things or revealing. One purpose is for people in the last days (our days) to be able to clearly make a decision on what side they will choose (light or darkness). In the past the enemy has been allowed to hide, to obfuscate, to "occult" their wickedness. The term occult means to cover or eclipse something (to hide it). With the revealing what was once hidden is now being revealed.
The purpose of revelation is separation of good from evil and light from darkness. That separation takes place even now and we can all feel it happening. This process will continue to advance into advanced stages that we read about in prophecy where there will be no denying which side people stand on. The enemy will demand his people be marked. Our Lord also will mark His people. The dividing lines will become clearer and clearer. There will be no more hazy middle ground, no more grey area. This is the final battle that those who inhabit the earth are marching toward.
We can see physical separation even in the parable of the wise and foolish virgins:
Matt 25
The Parable of the Ten Virgins
1“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7“Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9“ ‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10“But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11“Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’
12“But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
13“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour
A couple interesting things take place here ^^^. 1. while everyone was going about their daily business everything seemed normal. It wasn't until this happened that things started going sideways for the foolish virgins:
6“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
When this cry went out ^^^ the foolish somehow discover they are not ready. 2. Physical separation of the groups takes place when the foolish are off to "buy oil" for their lamps. Then only those who were ready when the cry rang out went in to the wedding banquet.
What is the takeaway from this ^^^? The time to "get oil" and or to get ready and stay ready is today, not when the cry rings out that the Bridegroom has arrived...
All of this takes us back to the multiyear campaign the Lord has been impressing through this blog to get all of us to level up into the highest and best versions of ourselves, centered in His Will. This too is part of the separation process and it has been ongoing in earnest for 5 or more years now.
Our Lord described the end times as labor pains coming on a woman. They start out less severe and spread apart and as time passes the contractions get more intense and closer together. This is at least in part what is happening with this current shift in the atmosphere we can all sense. We have moved into the next phase of the process outlined by our Lord through His prophets in the Bible.
So, to bring all this to a finer point, the day of the rapture of the Church-whenever that is will be the finishing physical manifestation of a less perceptible but just as real spiritual, emotional and mental separation of those who belong to the light and those who belong to the darkness. The weird feeling or sense we have that we cannot quite put our finger on is the weeding, or the disentanglement of wheat from the tares. It "feels" slightly uncomfortable because there is some actual spiritual, mental and emotional disentanglement taking place that is beyond our current understanding and ability to articulate. We cannot articulate it but we can certainly feel it.
So, the good news is this slightly uncomfortable feeling or sense we have at the moment is perfectly normal for the process we are passing through. We are progressively disentangling ourselves from this world. Another way of explaining this process has been used here in the past. The Lord's counsel to us to "level up" our talents, skills and abilities in the pursuit of the best version of ourselves is in itself a rising up above the day to day normal things of this world. We are leveling up, or rising up now in the ways not easily discerned by this world in preparation for a spiritual and physical actual taking up or catching up (harpazo-snatching by force) up off this world.
So, if we wanted to brandish some evidence that the rapture or harpazo is growing closer by the day-it is this ongoing process of us leveling up in preparation of being caught up that is de facto evidence of the event that is coming.
On the timing of the unexpected return of the Lord this servant has received further guidance or clarification of what the Lord has already told us. He said we are not going to know the day or hour. He is not asking us to sit around prognosticating about days and hours-wasn't He clear about that? Instead of going through this cycle of euphoric expectation then depression or hills and valleys as this and that day passes without another prediction taking place-we are to keep an even keel. Every day is a possible return day for the Lord. Yes, we still keep our eyes on seasons and we still remember the Lord's Feast days for what they are: a time of remembrance of what has already been done, and what is promised and will be done in the future.
Every day holds the possibility of the Lord's return, especially as we see prophetic events clicking into place all around us. We must remember that the Lord's patience means salvation for many:
2 Peter 3:15
Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.
So, while we wait in joyous expectation for our Lord to arrive, we are also mindful of those who will yet be saved through our Lord's patience. Those souls, we will spend an eternity getting to know and love in and through our Lord Jesus Christ.
So to reiterate, we need to remain level headed and steer away from the highs and lows that have been way overdone in recent days through a never ending stream of failed predictions and "confirmations" that never took place. That said, we need to keep our eyes on the prize. The Lord could show up at any moment or He could exercise His right and Will as Eternal Sovereign and delay as long as He wants to in order to save whoever He wants to. We have to remember who the Lord our God is. He is all powerful, all knowing and times and seasons belong to Him. He shows us clearly in the book of Revelation that only He can open the seals. He determines when the time of Jacob's trouble begins. No man or woman or demon or devil has the power or authority to do that.
So settle in. The wise virgins had oil in their lamps in preparation to wait however long they needed to for the Bridegroom to arrive. The wise virgins are ready to leave today, or years from now however long it takes for the Lord our God to accomplish all that He Wills and desires. We can walk and chew gum at the same time. We have been doing this for decades, we can continue to do this (in and through our Lord) until the Lord arrives or we "graduate" from earth to heaven.
Heb 10:36
New King James Version
For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
We have need of endurance or patience ^^^ depending on which translation you use. What the Bible does not say is we have need of more predictions...
Please join with your brother in praying over the prayer targets today.
Glory to God
grace and peace
