FROM RAPTURE TO REVELATION: 2018 May Be The Year We See Long-Awaited Bible Prophecy Fulfilled In Jerusalem

Is the Lord preparing to once again begin dealing with His chosen people as Israel approaches the 70th anniversary of being back in the land?

Is the Lord preparing to once again begin dealing with His chosen people as Israel approaches the 70th anniversary of being back in the land?

“For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD. For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.” Jeremiah 29:8-10 (KJV)

In this article, I want to talk about what I see as the amazing potential in 2018 for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. There will be no date setting, fear mongering or end times scare tactics of any kind. There will be no “4 Blood Moons” hype for book sales nonsense happening here. The Bible says the moon will become blood, not simply turn red. So with that, let’s take a look at some areas where we just might see Bible prophecy fulfilled in 2018.

Israel at the 70th anniversary of their regathering is a hotbed of  potential prophetic fulfillment

The prophet Jeremiah in chapter 30 and verse 7 makes a reference to something he calls the “time of Jacob’s trouble”, which is the same thing Jesus mentions in Matthew 24 when He talks about the coming time of “great tribulation”. When the Jews were in Babylon, Daniel read the book of Jeremiah and understood that God would revisit His people after 70 years. Is it possible that God will once again visit as Israel celebrates their 70th anniversary?

“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7 (KJV)

But just one chapter before that, Jeremiah mentions something that immediately preceded that, a visitation from the Lord after 70 years. Historically this is talking about the Jews in Babylonian captivity, but is also a prophecy of the Jews in the time of Jacob’s trouble in the end times.

“For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.” Jeremiah 29:10 (KJV)

It is interesting to note that in the book of Revelation, Jesus says that in the time of Jacob’s trouble Israel will be like “Sodom and Egypt”. (Remember the Boston Globe article calling Tel Aviv the “gayest city on Earth”?)  They have turned so far away from the LORD that this is how God now views them.

“And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.” Revelation 11:8 (KJV)

But Revelation also directs our attention to spiritual Babylon that has now trapped the Jews just like physical Babylon did in Jeremiah’s day.

“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” Revelation 17:4,5 (KJV)

So I ask you, those of you who are Bible believers and understand that there is much prophecy yet to be fulfilled, is it possible that sometime around the 70th anniversary of the regathering of the nation of Israel, could the LORD be planning to once again visit Israel and His chosen people the Jews?

THE TIMING OF THE RAPTURE IN THE SONG OF SOLOMON

In the Song Of Solomon we see a beautiful picture of the Rapture of the Church and its timing

In the second chapter of the Song of Solomon, God paints us a picture of the Rapture of the Church. Not only that, He tells us what time of the year that the Rapture will likely take place. In verses 8 and 9, we see Jesus looking down from the windows of Heaven at His beloved.

“The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.” Solomon 2:8,9 (KJV)

In the New Testament, when the apostle Stephen was being stoned to death, he looked up and what did he see? He saw the ‘windows of Heaven opened’ and Jesus getting ready to return in the Second Coming.

“But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.” Acts 7:55,56 (KJV)

In the book of Revelation, the ‘window of Heaven’ opens two times. Once in a type picture of the Rapture of the Church in chapter 4:1,2, and again in chapter 19:11-14 at the Second Coming where we return with Him at the Battle of Armageddon. In Song of Solomon 2, we see Jesus ‘looking through the lattice’ at His beloved Bride the Church. But notice that He calls for Her to ‘rise up’ to where He is and to ‘come away’ with Him. Now where in the New Testament do we hear anything resembling that? Right here:

“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.” Revelation 4:1 (KJV)

Her beloved is calling for her to rise up and out to be with Him. Not only that, we see the likely timing of the Rapture as given in the context. It happens after the Winter is gone, and glorious Spring has come where new life once again fills the Earth. Some will say that it is not Spring everywhere around the world at the same time. This is true, but God is not concerned with the whole world. Bible prophecy and it’s fulfillment centers around His Holy land of Israel, and it’s capital city of Jerusalem in particular.

“For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;” Song of Solomon 2:11,12 (KJV)

Many Bible scholars have tried to set the timing of the Rapture of the Church with the Feast of Trumpets because a trumpet-like Voice heralds the Rapture. But it is much more likely and seems to be indicated in the passage that the Rapture will align with the Feast of Firstfruits which takes place in the Spring. Clearly that is what’s happening in Song of Solomon 2.

Lastly, the Song of Solomon says that when the Rapture of the Church takes place, Israel will already have been regathered back into their land (May 14, 1948). Compare the passage with what Jesus in Matthew 24 said would take place, and we have harmony.

PREPARE FOR THE BATTLE FOR JERUSALEM

Jerusalem is the epicenter of Bible prophecy and the burdensome stone of the end times

America has a president that that did something no other president, Republican or Democrat, has had the guts to do. President Trump declared that the United States agrees with God and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. That one move has ignited a firestorm of controversy that has only begun to ripple across the Middle East.

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:2,3 (KJV)

The unrest in the Middle East has always been about who has the right to control Jerusalem, and the Bible says it will result in the epic battle between Jesus Christ and the forces of Antichrist at the Battle of Armageddon.

So as you watch the events unfolding in the aftermath of Donald Trump recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, remember this. This conflict will never, ever be resolved until after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church, after the rise of Antichrist, after the entire 7 year period of the time of Jacob’s trouble, and not until Jesus returns with the Church on horseback to fight against the combined earthly forces of Antichrist at the Battle of Armageddon.

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.” Revelation 19:11-14 (KJV)

Donald Trump declaring Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel is not Bible prophecy, but the events that it will trigger absolutely, 100% are. For the Church, these are the very last moments before the Rapture which removes us before the start of the time of Jacob’s trouble.

THE COMING PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH PRECEDES THE TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE

The time of Jacob’s trouble cannot begin until Jesus has come to call His Church up and out of here in the Pretribulation Rapture, for we have nothing to do with the coming time of great tribulation. The Church did not replace Israel, and Christians are not God’s chosen people. The time of Jacob’s trouble is when God once again begins to deal, judge and restore His land Israel and His people the Jews.

Maybe some or all of the events will take place in 2018, and maybe they won’t. But if I were you I would have my bags packed, spiritual affairs in order and my ticket in hand ready to board Flight #777 on Titus 213 Airlines. Just in case.

Keep your eye on the springtime in general, and on May 14, 2018 in particular. Happy new year. Maranatha.

Are YOU ready for what comes next?

The Cultural Affairs Committee In New York City Have Called For The Immediate Removal Of Statues Of George Washington For Reparations Task Force

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Money should be found to remove statues of America’s founding fathers like George Washington in New York City as a ‘Reparations Task Force’ committee is created

America is being hollowed out, eaten away on the inside by forces conspiring against her just as we first told you when Now The End Begins first started back in 2009. We wrote that “for generations the Bible has warned of the coming End of Days, and you are now living in that time. America, a nation raised up by the Hand of God to spread the gospel and to be a beacon of Freedom for people around the world is about to be forever silenced by those sworn to protect her – her leaders.” What we told you was coming then is now almost complete here in 2023.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)

Our Founding Fathers were far from perfect men, they all had their faults and flaws. But God used them to create a nation around the King James Bible that is nearly as unique on Earth as the nation of Israel is. No other nation in modern times has been as lauded and as celebrated as America, and rightly so. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and all the others we remember to this day for the amazing work that they started which is still in effect 247 years later. But this is what the enemies of America hate, they hate our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and the men who put pen to ink to birth it all.

For 14 years now, we’ve been warning you that America is being removed brick by brick, and right now we are about out of bricks.

New York City threatens statues of Washington, Columbus and Jefferson over slavery links and mulls reparations task force

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The city’s Cultural Affairs Committee has demanded the eviction of George Washington and Christopher Columbus and others from public spaces because of links to slavery, along with the establishment of a reparations task force. The plans before the city council on Tuesday come after Mayor Eric Adams warned that New Yorkers face a ‘financial tsunami’ from the cost of providing for more than 10,000 new migrants a month.

But they have prompted fury as the city scratches around for resources with libraries, meals for senior citizens and childcare all now at risk. ‘This is little more than an attempt by the radical left to rewrite our nation’s history,’ said City Councilor Joann Ariola.

‘The Founding Fathers and the others who worked so hard to establish this great country should be celebrated, not eliminated from memory.’

The Committee plans to remove any public statue or work of art that ‘depicts a person who owned enslaved persons or directly benefited economically from slavery, or who participated in systemic crimes against indigenous peoples or other crimes against humanity’. Dozens of prominent statues across the city are at risk including those depicting Thomas Jefferson and former governor Peter Stuyvesant.

Anti-racism training would be introduced for contractors and city employees, and a task force would ‘consider the impact of slavery and past injustices for African Americans in New York City and reparations for such injustices’.

‘Explanatory plaques’ would be installed next to any statue not removed and on schools named after them.

Meanwhile an injunction was filed overnight against the Mayor’s plans to set up a shelter for migrants at the historic Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn. More than 110,000 asylum seekers have arrived in the city since the Spring of 2022 with New Yorkers paying an average of $385 a night per migrant family.

Mayor Adams has pleaded for federal help in footing the bill and lashed out at Greg Abbott as a ‘madman’ after the Texas governor bussed thousands from his state. READ MORE

Social Media Reveals The Demonic Spirit Of Violence Openly At Work As The World Continues To Prepare Itself To Meet The Coming Antichrist

The New Hampshire father of two who died after an incident at Gillette Stadium during the New England Patriots game Sunday had been punched in the face and knocked unconscious by a Miami Dolphins fan, as the spirit of Antichrist rises

A few weeks ago, we wrapped up our 5-part series on the Mark of the Beast, and in the 5th installment we showed you how the spirit of Antichrist is already alive and working in these closing moments of the Church Age. What does it look like? It looks exactly like a violent fight at a football game that results in the beating death of a man while his wife helplessly looks on. This happened during the Sunday night football game at Patriots stadium.

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:” 2 Thessalonians 2:8 (KJB)

Spend 5 minutes on social media, and you will see video after video taken in cities all across America showing violent attacks and beatdowns at fast food restaurants, movie theaters, shopping centers and school hallways. Life was not like this when I was younger, it was not like this 10 years ago. But ever since the events which began in 2020 started, there is an obvious and undeniable spirit of evil that is ever rising and persistent.

Patriots fan dies after getting punched ‘in the face’ by Dolphins supporter at Gillette Stadium: witness

FROM THE NY POST: Dale Mooney, 53, was treated at the scene by EMTs and rushed to a hospital after what had been described as an “apparent medical event,” but was pronounced dead shortly before midnight. A spectator has now claimed that he witnessed a physical altercation between Mooney and a Dolphins fan.

“The Dolphins fan walks over and clearly punches him in the face,” Joey Kilmartin, of Nashua, New Hampshire, told MassLive. “(He) gets knocked out and you can tell right away he’s not OK.”

Kilmartin told the news outlet that Mooney also had gotten into a physical confrontation with other fans toward the end of the fourth quarter. He said Mooney never regained consciousness after being punched and that the EMTs performed CPR on him before rushing him to Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro.

Mooney’s wife, Lisa, said she feels “numb” and is seeking answers about the tragedy.

“I want to know what happened. What caused this?” she told WCVB. “I just don’t understand why people have to go to that extreme. Why can’t it just be fun? That’s all it’s supposed to be — a fun family event.” READ MORE

The Sustainable Development Goals Summit At The United Nations Today Discussing Mandatory Vaccinations, Digital ID And Sustainable Cities

Published

on

united-nations-sdg-sustainable-development-goals-un-agenda-2030-spike-cia
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

In 2015, more than 190 world leaders committed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to help us all end extreme poverty, fight inequality & injustice, and fix climate change. Bible believers call this the New World Order.

If have haven’t listened to our Podcast today where we told you about a 2003 book called ‘The 2030 Spike’ and why it’s in the library at the CIA, you really should go and listen to it. To say it’s a ‘eye-opener’ would be a severe understatement. One of the things we told you about is the meeting taking place today and tomorrow at the UN called the SDG Summit, which we warned you about back in July. The ‘sustainable development goals’ of the United Nations sound like a good thing, but upon closer inspection, they herald the New World Order.

“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)

Among the many SDG’s the UN is fomenting upon us, we have gender equality, global vaccinations, and of course, digital ID not just for you but for the entire family. Top of the list is the ‘sustainable cities’ mandate which is already underway in a pilot program in 14 American cities right now. It’s all about restricting our movement, confining us in 15-minute cities which is all part of the coming kingdom of Antichrist. The Sustainable Development Goals were developed in 2015, with a target date of 2030 for completion. Things are nearly in place.

The SDG Summit is happening now at the United Nations in New York City

FROM THE UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations will convene the SDG Summit on 18-19 September 2023 at its Headquarters in New York, during the General Assembly high-level week. With the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at midpoint, world leaders will carry out a comprehensive review of the state of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), respond to the impact of multiple and interlocking crises facing the world, and provide high-level political guidance on transformative and accelerated actions towards the target year of 2030.

But the Agenda is a promise, not a guarantee. At the halftime mark, the promise is in deep peril. For the first time in decades, development progress is reversing under the combined impacts of climate disasters, conflict, economic downturn and lingering COVID-19 effects. The SDG Summit serves as a rallying cry to recharge momentum, for world leaders to come together, to reflect on where we stand and resolve to do more. It is a moment to recommit to a vision of the future that ensures no one is left behind. Fundamental shifts in commitment, solidarity, financing and action must put us back on track to end poverty, realize just societies and reset a balanced relationship with the natural world.
