The Rapture is The Gathering Event

The Day Jesus Christ appears in the clouds (at the sound of the Last Trumpet) is the Day ALL believers will be gathered together to meet him in the air.  This event is known in Scripture as “the gathering”, for all believers who ever lived and died on Earth for 6,000 years and those still living on Earth will FINALLY be gathered together into one place to be with the Lord forevermore.  Hallelujah! Today in mainstream churchianity this “gathering event” is also known as the "rapture”.

So let’s turn to God’s Word to learn WHEN this “gathering event (or rapture)” will take place. The Apostle Paul writes in his first century letter to the Thessalonians: “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our GATHERING TOGETHER unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall NOT come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God” (II Thessalonians 2:1-4).

Ah, do you see it?  Paul is saying (and I’m paraphrasing), “Folks, do not let ANYONE deceive you by ANY MEANS, making you think the Lord’s return (the gathering or rapture event) could happen at any moment!  THESE PEOPLE ARE LYING TO YOU, for Jesus Christ will NOT return until the man of sin (the Antichrist) first comes onto the world scene and performs ALL of his Biblically prophesied evil!”  Friends, Paul is making it very clear here that the "rapture" will not happen until the Antichrist’s reign of the Great Tribulation period is over and done.

But did Jesus Christ (the “Return Man” himself!) also confirm this truth through his own words?  Absolutely, listen to him: “Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And THEN shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall GATHER TOGETHER his elect (believers) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” (Matthew 24:29-31).

Friend, God knew “pretribulation rapture theory” would delude mainstream churchianity in the last days; therefore, He inspired Paul to write those anointed words above.  And now I’m here to tell you pointblank ... if your spirit has any desire left for genuine Truth (no matter how it tastes going down) then stop listening to these jokers spreading this pretrib rapture (gathering event) lie.  Turn them off your TV sets and computer screens, and throw their books and articles in the garbage!




Sincerely preparing you for the Lord's return,

The FIRST Resurrection of the Dead

Foretelling the events surrounding Christ’s 2nd Coming (Armageddon, Antichrist and false prophet’s demise, fowls filled with flesh, Devil cast into the bottomless pit, etc.) the Apostle John wrote: “ … and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the FIRST resurrection” (The Revelation 20:4-5).

Hmmm … so the FIRST resurrection of the dead will include believers who lived DURING the final 3½ year period of the Great Tribulation and were martyred for their faith in Christ and for refusing to take the Antichrist’s mark!  Isn’t that interesting?

But today, mainstream churchianity teaches its congregants a rapture (resurrection of the dead) will occur BEFORE the Great Tribulation!!!  Oh, really?  So what resurrection number is that then?  Number zero?  Or can't God count properly?  Is God deceived or is mainstream churchianity deceived?

Come on people … WAKE UP!!!  There is NO resurrection (or rapture) that will occur BEFORE the Great Tribulation!  That fairy tale is a lie from Satan!  The rapture of the believers will occur exactly when Jesus said it will, “immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days” at the sound of the last trump.  Yes, even those beheaded for the testimony of Christ during the Great Tribulation will take part in the one and only rapture of the believers, the FIRST resurrection of the dead.

The Fig Tree (Israel) is 63!

After being asked ‘what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world’ by his disciples, Jesus finished a long list of things (which ended with a description of his rapturous return in the clouds immediately AFTER the Great Tribulation) with a parable: “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, THIS generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled” (Matthew 24:32-34).

What generation!  What was Christ talking about?  How was mankind to know WHEN this final generation of people existed?  The answer was hidden in the meaning of his parable … for God referred to the nation of Israel as a ‘fig tree’ several times in Scripture; thus, mankind was to understand from Christ’s words that when they SEE the ‘fig tree” put forth his leaves (Israel become a nation again!) THAT generation of people would not all die until 'ALL THINGS' were fulfilled.

Well, on May 15, 1948, Israel amazingly became a nation again and the final generation of people had been born!  Tomorrow is Sunday May 15, 2011 and Israel (and the final generation of people) will turn 63 years old.  Now listen to the words God used to describe the length of a generation of people: “The days of our years are threescore years and ten (70); and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years (80), yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and WE FLY AWAY” (Psalms 90:10).

And we “fly away” after 80 years!  Is this clandestine rapture (post trib) prophecy in the Old Testament???  Israel will turn 80 years old (and the final generation of people) on May 15, 2028.  A few months later in the fall will arrive the Lord’s Feast of Trumpets, the feast (appointed time) known in ancient Judaism as ‘the day no one knew the day or hour of’ because it was the only feast day to occur at the phase of a new moon, which couldn’t be determined until 2 witnesses saw the first sliver of the new moon!  Will AD 2028 see mankind's 6,000 year on Earth, confirming AD 28 saw mankind's 4,000 year on Earth?  Time will tell.



Here’s a link to a short video describing the ‘fig tree’ today, notice the average lifespan of an Israeli at the 1:52 mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNhDdVYFRVk




Happy Birthday Israel,

I Found Jesus on a Friday (Sabbath) Night

At 11pm last night, Central Standard Time, Friday May 6, 2011, I celebrated the sixth anniversary of my deceased father’s shadowed profile miraculously appearing on my refrigerator door on the night of Friday May 6, 2005.  (The 6th of May was also the day my father was physically born in the year 1943.)  This is the first time May 6 has fallen on a Friday again in the last 6 years, making the 11 pm hour extra special because it is part of God’s weekly Holy Sabbath day, which always begins Friday at sundown.

The moment my eyes beheld my dad’s profiled face that Friday evening in 2005 was the moment my life would forever change.  A willful wicked sinner, who had no desire for God or His Word, would be transformed into a servant of the Most High.  Oh, I did not have ANY clue that night of God’s plans for my life (to deliver to me a stunning message into the true meaning of the Bible on Dec 8, 2007 and over the next several months the prophetic Biblical knowledge into the “timing” of Christ’s return, to ask me to quit my job in Feb of 2008 to write & publish a 400 page book on what He revealed to me, to learn how and create a website for the book in 2010, to create videos for YouTube to further help explain the message, and now this blog) or I probably would have passed out!  But I sure know God’s plans now, for I have been faithfully doing them for the past 6 years.

A few years after my father died in 1992 I recorded my first album; it was Christian country and I had penned all 10 songs.  Well, just recently God brought a song on that album to my attention to show me how He had secretly prophesied of His plans for my life way back then in the lyrics of that song!  I was stunned (as He always does to me!) to have not seen this before, but here’s the lyrics to the song "New Man":


Verse I
The weekend had come and I was on the run
Looking to find me a date
I needed someone and I needed some fun
But instead I had a meeting with fate
As I went downtown just to look around
My eyes they fell on a church
And there was a sign hanging there from a pine
Saying, ‘Jesus can take away the hurt’

Verse II
Something from within seemed to draw me in
And I sat on the very last pew
People were singing and there were tambourines ringing
So I decided to join in too
It didn’t take long and I knew the song
And I was singing at the top of my lungs
Then Jesus came in and took away all my sins
And left me speaking in some foreign tongue

Chorus
I found Jesus on a Friday night
Ever since then He’s changed my life
He took away the old man, He brought in the new
Ever since then life’s had a different view
Now I pray nearly all the time
Everything I do just seems to work out fine
He’s the best thing that ever happened to me
For once I was blind, but now I can see

Verse III
Soon I was teaching and spirit filled preaching
On stations on the radio
And people were believing and people were receiving
The message that I told
Next came the TV and people could see me
Crying, ‘Church give up your life!’
But I’ll never forget that night that I met
My Jesus on a Friday night

Blessings to you in Christ Jesus,

P.S. And just for the record folks ... it ain't about me! God has done these miraculous things in my life just so YOU would have further reason and impetus to want to investigate and believe the message He has spoken through me.
