Matthew 25 Rapture Blog

Shalom,

Gospel of John ::  John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

Rapture Wedding Bells 🙂 Hopefully Soon At: Yom Teruah/The Feast of Trumpets — If Not, Keeping Extra Oil For The Lamps, in Watching For Yahshua (Jesus) The Bridegroom To Return Going Forward is the Call ><> 

In Galatians – Paul Called The Church: Spiritual Israel — The Church is The Bride/Wife of Christ — 

( The Church is Grafted into Israel 🙂 ) Romans 11:11-26

Israel may be The Bride too or part of the Bride (maybe just the Friend of The Bridegroom?)

All Christians currently are espoused/betrothed — legally Married to Jesus/Yahshua 🙂

The USA Currently is Nearing $18 Trillion Dollars in Debt — 100% in Debt (9/20/14) — Europe is Financially ? — And Gold is: $1215.91 an ounce (9/20/14) — was $1598.40 an ounce (6/29/12).

The most important thing of gauging the timing of the Rapture may be or is, Peace with Israel (Daniel’s 70th Week).

There is a Possibility, That The RFID Chip Could Be The 666 Mark. (maybe a tattoo or digital tattoo too)

Here’s a Post In Relation to The Statue Daniel Described of Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream of World Kingdom’s — The Toes of Iron/Clay is The Anti-Christ’s Kingdom – Rule for 1 Hour with 10 Kings. The Feet could Be The West (U.S./Europe) And The East (maybe Islam). The WEU (Western European Union – may be comprised of 10 Countries, a total of 27 Countries may be using the Euro today) — The 10 Kings who rule with the Anti-Christ could be from a combination of the Eastern/Western World) — Post includes: Anti-Christ/Islam

Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashana)/Rapture (Writing)

We Are Possibly Getting So Close To Jesus Return, That Super Vigilance may be the Call in Watching For Yeshua The Bridegroom To Arrive 🙂 

2011 may of been Earthquake Central — Japan and Eastern USA too with Earthquakes — Japan being Super Major — 9.0 — Possibly. Japan Earthquake/Tsunmai/Nuclear Situation — Todd from Rapture Ready.com Nearing Midnight Commentary 12/26/11 ::: “It was the most powerful earthquake in the nation’s recorded history. The earthquake is currently ranked as the fifth most powerful seismic event to hit the world in the past century. The World Bank puts the economic cost of the quake at $235 billion, making it the most expensive natural disaster in world history.”

The next major birth pang is to be handed over and killed for Jesus name. This is happening today limitedly with the Islamic State.

Matthew 24:7-9 – For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

The First Stage Birthpangs: Wars, Earthquakes, Pestilence (Fish Deaths, Ebola) are maybe ready to go the the anguish of child delivery birth stage:  Handed over and killed for Jesus name — Dept Homeland Security: 1.6 Billion or more Rounds of Ammo Ordered. 

Handed over and killed for Jesus — may be for The Tribulation Saints — Hopefully the Christians alive today will be Raptured before the End Begins (Revelation 3:10) — If not prepping for the End may be wise. — Jim Baker show — food 1

The Feast of Trumpets Could Really Be When The Rapture Happens ><> The Year is the only unknown, However like Paul says in:

1 Thessalonians 5:
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

 Paul says Christians are not in Darkness as to The Day of The Lord/When they shall say Peace and Safety. The Peace & Safety is probably Daniel 9:27’s – Seven year End of The World Peace Deal, that is Confirmed By The Anti-Christ With Israel and others.

Jesus/Yahshua’s Return may be Super Near:

Being on The Watch For Yahshua/Jesus The Bridegroom To Arrive is Very Wise, His Return Could Be Very Near ><>

Maranatha ><>

Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

In Relation to the picture and Today (Jesus said His Return would be like the Days of Noah) :: Study Note – Matthew 24:37 like the days of Noah. Jesus’ emphasis here is not so much on the extreme wickedness of Noah’s day (Ge 6:5), but on the people’s preoccupation with mundane matters of everyday life (“eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage” – v 38), when judgment fell suddenly.

They had received warnings, in the form of Noah’s preaching (2Pe 2:5) — and the ark itself, which was a testimony to the judgment that was to come. But they were unconcerned about such matters and therefore were swept away unexpectedly in the midst of their daily activities. MacArthur, John. The MacArthur Study Bible. La Habra, CA: Nelson, 2006. (p. 1408)

John MacArthur used a good word in a study note to describe the people in the verse above :: absorb. :::  “……..people were so absorbed in the things of this life that they were utterly unprepared when the time of judgment came.” MacArthur, John. The MacArthur Study Bible. La Habra, CA: Nelson, 2006. (p. 1517)

Luke 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Presidential Proclamation: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month, 2012 | The White House

……….NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2012 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to eliminate prejudice everywhere it exists, and to celebrate the great diversity of the American people.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-sixth.

In The Year of Our Lord? —

Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, (Homosexuality? and Bestiality?) are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Part II | Brimstone 

1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (Homosexuals) 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Watchman on The Wall – Looking Ahead ::

 From The Prophetic Scroll :: Edition 124 – June 5, 2012

“World debt: …….GDP stands for Gross Domestic Product and is basically the big overall financial health of the country brought down into one number…….

As far as nations go, a debt to GDP ratio of more than 80% is seen as unsustainable.

Japan is now at 230% with debt growing fast. The US is now well over 100% with debt growing much too fast while GDP (earnings) is actually falling. Most of Europe is between 90% and 160% and with debt skyrocketing and GDP falling.”

Isaiah Chapter 21:6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth. 7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed: 8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights: 9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground. 10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

Current Biblical Prophecy From Daniel Chapter 2, written circa 536 B.C. — Statue of World Empires — We are Currently At The Feet! Time is almost up!

The Feet of Iron and Clay — Restored Rome — Happening Today With The European Union – Being Strong — Iron/Toughness, (‘One Power Bloc’) The World’s Largest Economy  — However Weak – Clay/Financial.

Daniel 2:41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

Daniel 2:42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

The (Ten) Toes of Daniel 2:42 may be this verse of Revelation 17:12 — And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. (The Anti-Christ) 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. (The Anti-Christ – he will rule with 10 kings for a short time) (The Anti-Christ’s Reign can maybe be divided up into Three Time Frames :: 7 Years | 3-1/2 Years | 1 Year) 

(The Anti-Christ) Daniel 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, (possibility of The Anti-Christ being from Greece — The Latter time of their kingdom in v.23 was Alexander The Great’s – 4 Generals Domain) when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. (The Anti-Christ) 24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. 25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Daniel 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. 45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

The Lord’s 1,000 Year Millennial Reign Could Be Near, as we could be in a Financial Collapse Run Up, Leading To The Establishment of The Anti-Christ’s 666 Mark to be able to buy/sell, that takes place during the last 3-1/2 Years of The 7 Year End of The World. The Mark of The Beast

Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast (The False Prophet – The Anti-Christ’s Partner) coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, (Christian Like) and he spake as a dragon. (False Christian/Evil) (Maybe a Muslim)

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast (The Anti-Christ)  before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, (The Anti-Christ) whose deadly wound was healed. (The Anti-Christ killed and comes back to life)  (continue reading…)

Shalom ><> (Important note about Isaiah 17 — This Chapter is also tied to destruction in Israel, so Isaiah 17 – if future, happening before the 7 Year End or maybe even near the Beginning, may not make a lot of sense — being Israel will need to be pretty intact I would think for a Temple to be built, and for Israel to start to come around to choose Jesus as the Messiah — The Two Witnesses) ><>

(It is possible this Prophecy could be dual in Nature and may happen again). {see below, John MacArthur says Damascus was already destroyed in the past}      

Isaiah 17:1 Damascus

Damascus — World’s Biggest Chemical Weapons Arsenal 

Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. 

Burden = Ominous Message of Doom 

It could be That Damascus, Syria is the oldest continually inhabited City in The World that has never been destroyed.

However John MacArthur in his Study Bible says that this Prophecy was already ful-filled with its destruction by the Assyrians in 732 B.C. 
‘ MacArthur, John. The MacArthur Study Bible. La Habra, CA: Nelson, 2006. (p. 961)

Isaiah 17 could be a dual in nature Prophecy.

Isaiah 17 — Bad News For Damascus and Bad News For Israel — If This Prophecy is Future, This is Bad News For Both Damascus And Israel.

Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. 

Isaiah 17:2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. (Aroer/Syria) 

Isaiah The Prophet

3 The fortress (‘dominion’ maybe/fortified city(s)) also shall cease from Ephraim, (Northern 10Tribes also known as Israel [722 B.C.]) and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts. (Israel and Damascus were confederated together so they fared alike [glory diminished] when God used Assyria to Judge them) ‘ MacArthur, John. The MacArthur Study Bible. La Habra, CA: Nelson, 2006.

The Prophecy may be dual in nature with the kingdom ceasing from Damascus in the future and in the past when Assyria destroyed Damascus in 732 B.C. — You would also have to pass pretty serious judgment upon Israel too in the future (v.9 Desolation). There could be desolation in Israel in the future though :: Luke 21:24 Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet,…. 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

This could be when Israel fell under judgment from Assyria in 722 B.C. and/or it could be future during Jacob’s Trouble.   Zechariah 14:2 

5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel. (Israel majorly compromised as a Nation) [Israel/Northern Kingdom was deported by the Assyrians for 20 years, then finally destroyed in 722 B.C.] ‘ MacArthur, John. The MacArthur Study Bible. La Habra, CA: Nelson, 2006. — read verse 9 — there will be desolation. 

If This is Future, There could be a Nuclear and Chemical Weapon Exchange with Israel/Damascus. 

This Chapter may make the most sense read in connection with Zechariah 12 to 14. (End Time)

Zechariah 13 says 2/3 will be cut off from the Land of Israel and only 1/3 Left. 

Zechariah 14 says God will gather all Nations against Jerusalem to Battle (Armageddon) — the cities will be captured/the houses plundered/the women ravished/half the city will be exiled.

7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. 

(Could be past and future :: 1/3 of Israel chooses Jesus at The End) [Israel/Northern Kingdom was deported by the Assyrians for 20 years, then finally destroyed in 722 B.C. — ‘ MacArthur, John. The MacArthur Study Bible. La Habra, CA: Nelson, 2006.]

8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.

9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation. (Jacob’s Trouble — Mid-Point of Trib & onward it may be — 2/3 of Israel cut off — or past Ful-filled Prophecy? — but may/could be dual in nature) (continue reading…)
