What I am asking you is who the “HE” is. Tell me that.

I may be way off base, but I was always under the impression that the "He" referred to the Holy Spirit, which indwells all followers of Christ.

That’s exactly right. And where is the Holy Spirit during this dispensation of the GRACE of God? Indwelling the believers, The Body of Christ. We are sealed by Him until the day of Redemption, the day when Christ comes for the Body of Christ, the Rapture.

“.....when it comes to prophesy hindsight is always 20/20.”
I couldn’t agree more. My wife and I have had many discussions on this, with slightly different opinions. She’s a Pre-Tribulation believer-and I wouldn’t at all mind losing that particular discussion to her.

The day that no one knows the day or the hour is The Feast of Trumpets. A Jew know this, but gentiles usually don't observe the Leviticus 23 Feast days and therefore hove no idea what God is telling His people. I explain it by telling people I will call them next Turkey day. If a Jew overheard that he might be puzzled about what day that might be. A Jew knows that Trumpets can only begin when 2 priests first see that New Moon rising over Jerusalem. The sliver of moon might be see at any time of the day or night on Tisheri 1 and that starts the Jewish new year and new month. All the other Feasts are in the middle of the month and therefore more of a full moon in the the lunar cycle.

This is why Paul said I don't need to explain things to you because you are Jews and you should know. Kinda like an American knows what July 4th means to us. Somebody from Poland probably wouldn't know that American trivia.

Another clue is "coming as a "thief in the night". Jews know the High Priest comes at night to check the guards if they are asleep. Our high Priest is Jesus. He will catch someone asleep and take their garment and set it on fire with coals from the altar and the guard will run away naked. That's why we are to watch. When to watch?,...Trumpets, which lasts 2 days (the day no one knows the day or the hour) Tisheri 1 is Rosh Hashanah, but the month before is Elul and that's the month the Jews say "The King is in the Field." The "King" comes down from His throne to get closer to the people and hear their requests. The whole month they repent and fast to get ready for the Fall Feast days. They actually fast and pray for 40 days till the 10th of Tisheri, or Atonement. The 10 days after Tisheri 1 is called the "Days of Awe".

For a Christian these days represent the Tribulation but it had to be shortened to 7 years because no flesh could survive for 10 years of Tribulation.

If Jesus died on Passover, was buried on Unleavened Bread, and was raised again on First Fruits, and the church was born on Pentecost, why wouldn't He observe the Fall feasts exactly in order and on the proper days? The Rapture will happen on some Feast of Trumpets with the Tribulation soon to follow and then Judgement day 7 years later and Tabernacles is "God with us" for 1000 years after that. The answers to all these questions are know by the Jews even not knowing who their Messiah was. He will show Himself to the Jews in Zech. 12:10

The right Feast of Trumpets will probably be on a Jubilee. Peter talks about all things being Restored and that's what Jubilee means. The last Jubilee was 2017. There should be signs in the Heavens just as their was for the wise men in the Gospels. Remember the "wise" and "foolish" virgins in Mat 25? Why were the "wise men" wise? They were watching at the right time. Jesus was born on Tabernacles when God comes to live with His people. It's not guesswork if you read the Bible or study the Feast Days. Easter and Christmas are pagan days from the RCC and nothing of Biblical importance happened on those days.

Morning brothers and sisters,

Very interesting article, and thanks for posting.

There are just a couple of his main points that I want to address, because I believe these are where he has made small errors, which in the grand timeline and scheme of things, become very large.

Before I do - I must say this. All timelines are speculation only! We simply do not know when the Day of the Lord will occur. However, there are those who are so dogmatic about NOT looking for the season of His return that they become overzealous to those of us who are. Christ ordered us to "Watch!" If you don't want to watch, that is your individual choice.

Pete Garcia posted:

Gregorian calendar: Add 70 years (lifespan) = 1,985 years = AD 2018 Add 80 years (lifespan) = 1,995 years – AD 2028 However, the Gregorian calendar is 5.2422 days longer (in a calendar year) than the 360 day prophetic calendar. The 360 day calendar will accumulate more calendar years than the Gregorian calendar, given enough time; because of this fact. Thus, we must add 29 years to the total. 360 day prophetic calendar: Add 70 years (lifespan) = 2,014 years = AD 2047 Add 80 years (lifespan) = 2,024 years = AD 2057 Summary: So we are either right at the cusp, or we are in extended over time depending on how you measure it.

I offer this fantastic and detailed article on the End Times, published last month from the incredible folks at Unsealed.org.

https://www.unsealed.org/2020/07/turning-point-2020.html

Please read the entire article if you can, because it is full of incredible insights. Pay particular attention to this one segment that points to something very important that Pete Garcia missed (as do most people who study the prophetic timeline):

A comment on “prophetic years”: I think there may be some useful prophetic purpose behind the use of 360-day years in some calculations, but we are still left with three significant issues: first, even the calendars in use at the time of Daniel used intercalation. Years still had the same length as our own on average. It doesn't matter which calendar you use, be it Hebrew, Babylonian, Egyptian, or Enochian, it still had mechanisms to align with the seasons. Second, examples of the use of these purported prophetic years are only found in limited passages, specifically Genesis 7, Daniel 9, and in the book of Revelation. Even in these passages, it isn't clear that intercalation isn't being used. For example, in Daniel 12:11 we see 1,290 days used (versus 1,260 days in other passages). This may actually be a reference to a period of time that includes an intercalary month. In other words, the scant references to “times, time, and half a time” and “1,260 days” in a handful of places in Daniel and Revelation, may not be evidence for exclusively 360-day years, and simply references to relatively small periods of time without an intercalary month. Third, the Bible doesn't explicitly define a prophetic year as a period of 360 days, or call us to calculate long stretches of time using exclusively 360-day years. Even the biblical calendar itself, which begins on Nisan 1 (Abib), has to align with the seasons.

This point cannot be understated. The folks who are adding 29 to 30 more years to prophetic calculations of years forget that even the ancients had corrections in their calendars to align with the actual solstices and meteorological seasons.

I will add that Pete is correct to bring up the Parable of the Fig Tree - and by those words of Christ, we are the Fig Tree Generation that began in 1948. Add 70 years, and it came to 2018. Add 80 years, and we have 2028. However, the 7 year Tribulation cannot take away years of the Millennial Kingdom - and 7 years must be subtracted from 2028 when looking for the start of the Rapture and the beginning of the Tribulation when Daniel 9:27 is fulfilled. Therefore, the Tribulation could start very, very soon.

Next, I will add something that Pete Garcia did not mention: Pope Francis.

Pope Francis is the False Prophet of Revelation - Home | Facebook

Folks, I am 99.99% convinced that Jorge Mario Bergoglio IS the False Prophet of Revelation. There are so many instances where this is clear I don't have time to go over all of them. He is also 83 years old. Go and look at all the trouble and effort the Luciferians, Masons, and New World Order characters went through to litter his coup as pope as Pope with the number 13 (all very important to the occultists and Satanists). It is literally breathtaking. There is some very good information about that here, but also incredible information about a possible timeline that we are in per God's prophetic calendar.

2020 Rapture: 2020-2027 Tribulation Timeline

Pin on Bible Study

Lighting struck the Vatican when Benedict was forced out, and before Jorge was "elected" pope.

This was the moment lightning struck the Vatican today - h… | Flickr

Not to mention all of Francis' blasphemies, political maneuvering, and his foundations to build the One World Religion that will soon be in place.

Moreover, many, many, many Christians are feeling in their bodies, minds, and souls that the Rapture is near. Prophetic dreams and visions are off the charts.

I have never been a big believer in people's individual dreams, because they are so open to interpretation. But collectively, the body of evidence is overwhelming.

"'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams." Acts 2:17

Watch this video by a strong Christian man named Barry Scarbrough.

Believers Will Be Leaving Soon! What If You're Not Here in September?

Barry is not prone to the vapors. He is very solid in Scripture and judgment. He is also dead on with his points.

I myself don't know when the Rapture will be. We are told we don't know the day nor the hour. I believe we can know the season.

My friends, we are in the season, and then some.

I believe our time here is almost at an end.

If I am wrong, and we must occupy more years on earth until God takes us, then glory to God. But we must be ready, and we must watch. A crown is promised us (one of the 5 crown rewards that will be given at the Judgment Seat of Christ) for watching and looking for His return.

God bless.

The intriguing thing about the Rapture is that we cannot know when it will occur. We can only know, vaguely, when other events will occur that must happen after it.

There is nothing prophesied in the Bible about what must come before it. “Imminent” does not mean “soon.” It means there is nothing that must happen before it.

Before the establishment of the state of Israel, Bible scholars were wondering if the Rapture would come first.

This may be by design, so that the believers will be ready at any time and not put off their repentance, and may also be by a kind of necessity, since we are part of the answer: When the last person who can be found by God is found and saved, that may be the trigger, or more likely, I think, it may be when the balance is so tilted toward catastrophe that we are called, and the others will find that they are left behind, which in itself will cause many other conversions.

Just some thoughts recently. I have been dreaming dreams. One was of a future law that makes it illegal to gather wild food, and also of a woman who will become a bit famous by designing clothes that need no sewing machine. Another was of the future government being different and not composed of godly people but it will be based on secular rules of a kind of justice. Just sharing.

Thanks Firebrand. Some really great thoughts there.

That's really interesting. We know from Scripture that during the Tribulation, there will be global famine. We also know that it will take a day's wage to even feed oneself.

I can see the Antichrist kingdom outlawing harvesting food in the wild, because if people who refuse the mark were able to feed themselves this way, it would be autonomous from the tyrannical mark of the beast - and that is not what Satan wants.

Thanks for sharing that.

"Nevertheless, the Apostle Paul tells us in 2nd Thessalonians 2 that we (Christians) cannot know who the Antichrist is, because we will be removed from the earth by way of Rapture, before He is revealed."

I think that is a misreading of II Thess 2 & 3 which say: 2--"Thou you be not . . . troubled . . . as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3--Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed . . . . "

This follows the detailed description of the Rapture in I Thess 4:15 to 4:17; ending with the description in 5 1-8 describing the absolute uncertainty of timing for the day of the Lord: I Thess 5:2--For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night."

The Day of the Lord doesn't come until the man of sin is revealed. Difficult to read that as accommodating the Rapture having occurred prior to the identification of the Man of Sin.

The only actual clue as to timing is I Thess 5:9: "For God hath not appointed us to wrath . . ."

The Rapture occurs before the day of Wrath.

Revelation 6:17 says the day of Wrath is at Hand at that point after all of the seals in Revelation 6 have been opened. Although it appears that the first five seals have been opened, we still await the opening of the sixth seal in Revelation 6:12 after which the Day of Wrath will be at hand.

It appears to me that the Rapture could occur at any time before the Day of Wrath including today; but it is difficult to read II Thess 3:3 to tell us it will happen before the man of sin is revealed because Paul has incorporated the description of the Rapture in I Thess 4:14-5:2 in the unknown days constituting the "Day of the Lord".

...so if the ‘post-tribulation’ believers are right; it sounds like many here won’t be prepared to endure the Tribulation...that should prove interesting.

The Rapture is speculation at it’s best.


(Babba Gi, I appreciate that you realize this)

Here’s some more info:

Back in the 1500’s the Catholic Church started to care about what people were saying about them being called the Antichrist/Little Horn/Woman that rides the Beast, etc... All the Protestant reformers were saying it. They were saying it because they now had a chance to read the bible for themselves and it was as clear as day that it was true by scripture.

So, the Catholic Church said, “Crap, everyone is dumping on us and we need to come up with some alternate theories and deflect all this (true) criticism.” Enter Jesuit priests Francisco Ribera and Luis De Alcazar (the main two). Alcazar said, “nope, the Antichrist was already here in Pagan Rome. The Antichrist cannot be the Catholic Church.” Ribera said “nope, the Antichrist is future and he comes to light during the last 7 years before Christ returns. The Antichrist cannot be the Catholic Church.” Another Jesuit priest, Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, also puts the Antichrist in the future as did Ribera. Again, the Catholic Church says “nope, it can’t be us, we are the true church...we can change God’s laws and forgive sins just like he can”

“The Jesuit Inspired Futurist Lie Spreads To America’s Protestant Seminaries” and now most of the world believes it.

The Pre Trib Rapture theory is certainly a Jesuit lie and it’s going to be a sad day for sure when everyone finally realizes it. Unfortunately, it will be too late for many because they will have already been “locked all in” to the lie and they will follow their “experts” to their demise.

Here it is for anyone who wants to read about it.

To: who knows what evil?

Yes, it will be interesting because they will have to deal with the Mark of the Beast. And without study about what it really is, they may then receive the mark and go through the tribulation without God’s protection, and then of course end up in Hell (anyone who has the Mark of the Beast will not be saved).

Rev 14:
9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The Word of God gives clues such that the Body of Christ Believers will be in Heaven witnessing the opening of the seven sealed scroll / book. The body of believers (think like a student body of a particular school, that kind of identity) are represented in the Revelation of John by the 24 Elders. (see Rev 1:6 and Rev 5, the new song, KJV).

Connect those dots with 2 Thess 2:3 and what Paul iterated by referral regarding the coming of antichrist upon the scene.

We cannot know the day or hour BUT we can see the tools the antichrist will use to rule the nations are being put in place. THAT is knowing the season is upon us. We the Body of Christ will be snatched away BEFORE the seals are opened, thus before the rider on the white horse carrying a bow but no arrows can even be revealed. HArken to what the Angel told Lot, that he could do nothing UNTIL 'righteous Lot' was out of harms way.

I’m not worried about them being right, scripture is clear that they aren’t.
I won’t argue about it, but if you do your homework (John 14:3 for starters) you’ll see it is not in God’s Character to torment His Children with the heathen.
