The Church is the body of Christ, the bride of Christ, and the New Jerusalem where God will once again and for all eternity “dwell with man”.

So, when will the Pretribulaton Rapture of the Church take place? Whenever the Father and Jesus Christ decide it’s time for it to happen, that’s when. In the first century, when the New Testament was being written, there was a custom among the Jews in Galilee, that the father of the groom would decide when the time was right for his son to go and get his bride, who was off making herself ready while he waited. And so it is with the Rapture of the Church, the Son will go and pick up His Bride, the born again, blood-washed Church that Jesus started when He went to the cross. As I was writing this article, the world population reached 7,777,777,777 people, what a great time for the Pretribulation Rapture!

“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:2 (KJB)

So with that in mind as we wait for our Beloved to come get us as He has promised, let’s take a refresher course and remember how the born again Church is also the Body and Bride of Jesus Christ. I hope this mini-bible study will be a blessing to you, as we celebrate a global population running at all sevens across the board. Even so, come Lord Jesus, your Bride is ready!

Adam’s bride was taken from his own body

“And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Genesis 2:21-23 (KJV)

The Bible tells us that God created Adam in His own image in Genesis 1, right? If you would have been alive in the Garden of Eden and seen Adam, you would have seen the very image of God Himself. OK, shortly after God created Adam, it was decided that he needed a wife for him to be complete, so God created a bride for Adam. But Eve was not taken “from the ground” as Adam was, she was made up of very different material. Eve was formed from one of Adam’s ribs, from Adam’s own body. This means that Adam’s bride was also his body at the very same time. You might want to pause here for a moment and reflect on that, and allow that thought to wash over you as it did me the very time the Holy Spirit revealed that to me.

Jesus’ bride is taken from his own body

Going 6,000 years back into the past, in the very beginning of Genesis, God has placed a wonderful and amazing type of the New Testament Church in the creation of Adam and Eve. For the “first Adam”, God fashioned him a bride out of his own body. For the “last Adam” which 1 Corinthians tells us is Jesus Christ, God has done exactly the same thing. He has given Him a body from which He also has created a Bride.

“For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.” Ephesians 5:30-32 (KJV)

If you are a born again, saved sinner in the Church Age, you are part of the body of Jesus Christ. You have been grafted in to His Body so that He now dwells inside of you. This doctrine is one of the great mysteries revealed to the apostle Paul:

Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:” Colossians 1:26,27 (KJV)

Christian End Times Movie 'Before The Wrath' Makes A Very Compelling Case For Pretribulation Rapture With An Unexpected Twist At The End

CHRISTIAN END TIMES MOVIE ‘BEFORE THE WRATH’ MAKES A VERY COMPELLING CASE FOR THE PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE WITH AN UNEXPECTED TWIST AT THE END

The Church is both the body and bride of Jesus Christ

Just as Adam was presented with a bride that was taken from his own body, so will God also present His Son, Jesus Christ, with a Bride also taken from His own body.

“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:2 (KJV)

If a “virgin” is presented to a “husband”, then by very definition she is a “bride”. This is exactly what the Holy Spirit had in mind when He wrote the following through the apostle Paul:

“For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.Ephesians 5:23,24 (KJV)

Now we also know the identity of New Jerusalem

“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” Revelation 21:2 (KJV)

This verse puzzles a whole lot of people who study the Bible, and rightly so, it’s a tough one. I “chewed on it” for quite some time before the Lord allowed me to “connect the dots”. The question here is this – if the Church made up of people is the bride of Jesus Christ, how is it possible that it can be a “city” at the same time? A city is a place where people live, yet Revelation seems to somehow be merging the two.

In John 14, beloved by so many millions of Christians, we read about the promise of Jesus to build us a “mansion” in Heaven. Not only that, the same passage also tells us that Jesus will “come and get us” in the Pretribulation Rapture. Those “mansions in Heaven” is what makes up the New Jerusalem from Revelation 21.

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:1-3 (KJV)

So now we clearly where where the Church, the Bride, will live for eternity, but how is the Bride also a physical city? The answer is found in 1 Peter:

“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.” 1 Peter 2:4-6 (KJV)

And here is where the “dam breaks open”, and it all comes together in one glorious revelation

All through the Bible, Jesus Christ is revealed the foundational building block of our salvation, please note the following:

  • THE STONE MADE WITHOUT HANDS: “Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.” Daniel 2:34 (KJV)
  • THE CORNER STONE: “Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.” Isaiah 28:16 (KJV)
  • A STONE OF STUMBLING AND ROCK OF OFFENCE: “Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.” 1 Peter 2:7,8 (KJV)

If you have been born again, you are “flesh of his flesh” and “bone of his bone”. Jesus is the “chief corner stone”, we are His precious “living stones” who make up the New Jerusalem.

“And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.” Revelation 21:19,20 (KJV)

We don’t just live in the New Jerusalem, we are the New Jerusalem!

The Church is the body of Christ, the bride of Christ, and the New Jerusalem where God will once again and for all eternity “dwell with man”. God’s glory will be forever made manifest in the thing for which He shed His own blood – the Church of Jesus Christ.

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” Revelation 1:5,6 (KJV)

“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.” Acts 20:28 (KJV)

“Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.” Hebrews 13:12 (KJV)

Amen, come and get us Lord. We’re ready.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: The Rise Of Christian Deliverance Ministries Has Turned Demons, Curses And Manifestations Into A Thriving Business Model

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Rise Of Christian Deliverance Ministries Has Turned Demons, Curses And Manifestations Into A Movement—But Is It Biblical Warfare Or A Charismatic Counterfeit?

The explosion of so-called Christian Deliverance Ministries has created an entire charismatic industry built around the idea that born-again believers can remain inhabited by demons, bound by generational curses and dependent upon specially “anointed” apostles and prophets to set them free. From Kathryn Krick and Greg Locke to Prophet GeorDavie and countless social-media imitators, the formula is remarkably similar: dramatic manifestations, screaming, shaking, falling, claims of hidden spirits, supernatural impartations and repeated deliverance sessions presented as evidence that God is moving. But spectacle is not Scripture, and manifestation is not doctrine. The apostle Paul never once instructs a member of the Body of Christ to locate a demon of lust, rejection, anger or addiction and have it cast out. Instead, Paul tells the saved believer that he has been sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, that his body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, and that God “hath delivered us from the power of darkness.” That creates a massive problem for a movement whose entire ministry model depends upon convincing Christians that darkness is still living inside them.

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:” Colossians 1:13 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the more closely you compare modern Deliverance Ministry theology with Pauline doctrine, the more the whole system begins to unravel. Paul does not tell Christians to cast out their flesh; he tells them to mortify it. He does not tell Christians to seek an apostle with a greater anointing; he tells them to put on the whole armour of God and stand against the wiles of the Devil. He does not teach generational demon bondage, spiritual “legal rights,” endless impartations or recurring deliverance appointments. What he does warn about are “seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils,” false apostles and religious counterfeits masquerading as ministers of righteousness. Satan is real, devils are real and spiritual warfare is absolutely real—but none of that gives us permission to invent doctrine God never gave the Church. Before accepting the screaming, the manifestations and the testimonies, there remains one devastating question every Deliverance Minister must answer from the King James Bible: Show me where Paul taught the Church to do this. Today we tell you everything you need to know about the modern-day Deliverance Movement.

The Three Musketeers Of Islam: Saudi Arabia, Turkey And Pakistan Are Building A Military Alliance That Will Soon Find Itself Standing Against Israel And Jerusalem

The Three Musketeers Of Islam: Saudi Arabia, Turkey And Pakistan Are Building A Military Alliance That Will Soon Find Itself Standing Against Israel And Jerusalem

The Telegraph has dubbed the emerging partnership between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan “The Three Musketeers”, invoking the famous slogan “all for one, one for all,” and there is something almost darkly humorous about the comparison. On the surface, this is being presented as another strategic defense arrangement designed to strengthen regional security in an increasingly unstable world. But when you look at the three nations involved, the military power they represent, their relationship to the Islamic world, and their individual attitudes toward the Jewish state, it becomes increasingly difficult to imagine that Israel will not eventually become one of the primary objects of this alliance.

“For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.” Psalm 83:2 (KJB)

Saudi Arabia brings staggering financial power, enormous influence over the global energy markets and, perhaps most significantly, its position as guardian of Mecca and Medina, the two holiest cities in Islam. Turkey brings one of the largest and most capable military forces in the Muslim world, a rapidly expanding defense industry, advanced drones and missile technology, and a government under Recep Tayyip Erdoğan that has become increasingly hostile toward Israel. Pakistan brings a massive standing army and something that neither Saudi Arabia nor Turkey presently possesses: nuclear weapons. When you combine Saudi money, Turkish military capability and Pakistani nuclear power inside a developing Islamic security structure, you are no longer talking about a meaningless diplomatic photo opportunity. You are looking at the beginnings of a military bloc that has the potential to become enormously consequential, and prophetically deadly.

The leaders involved may insist today that their partnership is defensive, that it is not directed against any particular country and that its purpose is merely to protect their mutual interests. That is precisely the sort of language governments use when military alliances are being assembled. Alliances are rarely formed by announcing on the first day who the eventual enemy will be. Instead, nations construct the framework, establish military cooperation, conduct joint exercises, coordinate intelligence, share weapons technology and build the political relationships necessary for collective action. Then a crisis comes along and reveals what the structure was really capable of becoming. In the Middle East, the crisis that eventually forces everyone to choose a side has a remarkable way of coming back to the same place over and over again: Israel and Jerusalem.

Turkey has already traveled a considerable distance down that road. Erdoğan has spent years positioning himself as one of the loudest defenders of the Palestinian cause while his government’s relationship with Israel has deteriorated dramatically. Pakistan has never recognized the State of Israel at all, and opposition to Israel remains deeply embedded in its political and religious establishment. Saudi Arabia is the most fascinating member of this emerging trio because the kingdom has spent years appearing to move closer to possible normalization with Israel while simultaneously attempting to preserve its leadership position in the Islamic world. The Abraham Accords opened the possibility of an entirely new Middle Eastern security architecture centered around normalization with the Jewish state, and for years Saudi Arabia has been viewed as the ultimate prize of that process. Now Riyadh is simultaneously drawing closer militarily to Turkey and nuclear-armed Pakistan.

That tension cannot continue indefinitely, and Saudi Arabia cannot permanently occupy two geopolitical worlds if those worlds eventually collide. It can pursue commercial cooperation and diplomatic engagement with Israel while regional conditions remain relatively stable, but when the next major confrontation erupts over Gaza, Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, Iran, Lebanon, Syria or some crisis that has not yet appeared on the horizon, Riyadh may find itself forced to decide where its deepest loyalties actually reside. Saudi Arabia is not simply another Arab nation. It occupies a unique position within Islam itself, and the pressure upon the kingdom to stand with the Muslim world against Israel during a sufficiently explosive regional crisis would be tremendous.

That is why I believe the eventual direction of these “Three Musketeers” isn’t overly difficult to see. Turkey is already openly antagonistic toward Israel, Pakistan refuses even to recognize Israel’s existence, and Saudi Arabia is binding itself more closely to both countries militarily. Whatever cordial diplomatic language accompanies the arrangement today, this is a coalition being constructed from nations whose long-term interests and religious identity place them on a collision course with the Jewish state.

This is also where we have to rightly divide the prophetic scriptures and avoid one of the most common errors in modern prophecy teaching. This is not Ezekiel 38. Ezekiel 38 does not describe some Russian, Turkish, Iranian or Muslim coalition attacking modern-day Israel before the Tribulation or during the Church Age. The battle in Ezekiel 38 takes place after the thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ, when Satan is loosed from his prison and goes out to deceive the nations once again, exactly as Revelation 20:7–9 describes. Israel at that time is completely regathered and dwelling safely in unwalled villages without bars or gates because the Prince of Peace Himself has been ruling the earth from Jerusalem for a thousand years. Trying to squeeze today’s Middle Eastern alliances into Ezekiel 38 completely destroys the biblical timeline.

Ezekiel 39 is another matter entirely. Ezekiel 39 describes the great slaughter connected with the Battle of Armageddon at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, corresponding with the scene presented in Revelation 19. The fowls and beasts being summoned to feast upon the slain, the enormous burial operation lasting seven months, the cleansing of the land and the seven years of burning the weapons all belong on the front side of the Millennium, not at the end of it. Ezekiel 39 and Revelation 19 belong together; Ezekiel 38 and Revelation 20 belong together. Those are two entirely different wars separated by at least one thousand years, and confusing them creates an enormous amount of unnecessary prophetic confusion. Understanding that distinction actually makes the present Saudi-Turkish-Pakistani alliance more interesting, not less. The Bible clearly shows that before Jesus Christ returns at the Second Advent, the nations of this world will be increasingly consumed with the controversy surrounding Israel and Jerusalem. The present-day rearrangement of military alliances throughout the Middle East is part of the world being prepared for the events that will ultimately culminate in the Time of Jacob’s Trouble and the Battle of Armageddon described in Revelation 19 and Ezekiel 39.

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 12:3 (KJB)

There is the destination toward which the nations are moving. Jerusalem becomes the burdensome stone, and the nations eventually gather themselves against it. Bible prophecy has already shown us the ultimate disposition of the Gentile nations toward Jerusalem, and therefore we should pay very close attention when powerful Islamic countries begin organizing themselves into new military structures capable of acting collectively.

Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan are three very different nations with different political systems, strategic interests and regional priorities, yet Islam provides them with a powerful common identity and Israel provides them with an increasingly obvious common point of tension. Saudi Arabia possesses the money and religious prestige, Turkey possesses tremendous conventional military capability, and Pakistan possesses the Islamic world’s nuclear arsenal. Put those things together and you have the makings of a bloc that could exert tremendous pressure upon Israel when circumstances demand it.

For Saudi Arabia, that moment may ultimately involve choosing between continued rapprochement with Israel through the Abraham Accords and solidarity with an Islamic military bloc built around Ankara and Islamabad. I do not believe Saudi Arabia will ultimately choose Israel when that decision becomes unavoidable. Whatever temporary normalization arrangements may emerge along the way, the prophetic trajectory of the Middle East is not toward the nations embracing Jerusalem and the Jewish people. It is toward increasing pressure, increasing isolation and eventually the gathering of the nations against the land God gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The Telegraph can call them the Three Musketeers and make the story sound almost whimsical, but there is nothing whimsical about an alliance connecting Saudi Arabia, Turkey and nuclear-armed Pakistan. These are three heavyweight Islamic powers creating a framework for collective military action at a moment when the Middle East is being rapidly rearranged and Israel is becoming increasingly isolated. I believe that sooner rather than later, the same leaders who today insist that this new arrangement is aimed at no particular country will find themselves confronted with the Israel question, and when that happens, there should be very little doubt which direction this alliance will move. The military architecture is being constructed now, the crisis that activates it will come later. When it does, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan will not be standing shoulder to shoulder in defense of the Jewish state. They will be standing on the other side as the Bible so clearly declares.

The Trump Superstore Is Closing Because The People Have Stopped Coming, And It’s The Perfect Metaphor For His Rapidly Collapsing MAGA Presidency

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

As Trump’s Poll Numbers Collapse And MAGA Voters Walk Away, The Shuttering Trump Superstore Becomes The Perfect Metaphor For A Presidency Built On Broken Promises

Sometimes a single photograph tells the entire story. Standing beside Interstate 40 in Tennessee is a giant red banner announcing that the Trump Superstore is “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS,” with everything marked down 50 percent. It is more than the closing of another roadside novelty shop, far from it. It’s the Trump presidency in one brutally honest picture. Our 16th president Abraham Lincoln is credited with saying “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time”. Trump’s ‘moment in the sun’ appears to be darkening into night, and that’s bad news for the American people as our national ship becomes rudderless.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” Psalm 146:3 (KJB)

For two years, the Trump Superstore operated as a roadside shrine to the MAGA movement, overflowing with Trump hats, Trump flags, Trump shirts, Trump statues and seemingly every imaginable product capable of carrying the Trump name. During the movement’s high-water mark, people were reportedly lined up outside the door. Today, the merchandise is sitting unwanted on the shelves while the owner desperately attempts to liquidate it.

Owner Bill Hays finally admitted that the store is closing because of a “lack of business.” His employee was even more direct: “We’re not busy anymore.” He described Trump’s popularity as “dwindling, dwindling, dwindling.” That isn’t some fake news Democratic propaganda or liberal media speculation. That assessment came from inside the Trump Superstore itself. The Trump brand is now on clearance, and that makes this store the perfect metaphor for the rapidly collapsing Trump presidency.

The latest Reuters/Ipsos polling places Trump’s approval rating at just 33 percent, with 64 percent disapproving. That is the lowest rating of his current presidency and ties the lowest Ipsos rating of his first term. He returned to Washington with nearly half the country approving of him; now only one-third remains. Even Republican support is cracking: recent Economist/YouGov polling placed his approval among Republicans at 79 percent, down 12 points from January 2025, while those who “strongly approve” have fallen from 68 percent to 48 percent.  Those numbers are not collapsing because Americans suddenly developed an aversion to red hats. They are collapsing because millions of people who voted for Trump are discovering that slogans do not pay electric bills, campaign rallies do not fill grocery carts, and promises of prosperity do not lower the price displayed on the gasoline pump.

As of August 18, the national average for regular gasoline is approximately $4.07 per gallon—nearly 93 cents higher than one year ago.

Grocery prices remain painfully elevated as well. The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report shows food-at-home prices rising another 2.7 percent over the previous year, with fruits and vegetables up 5.1 percent and nonalcoholic beverages up 4.1 percent. Overall consumer prices are 3.4 percent higher.  AP-NORC found that 41 percent of American adults are extremely or very concerned about affording groceries, while most households report changing how they shop—buying generic products, abandoning certain items and cutting restaurant spending simply to cover basic necessities. That is the political reality behind the empty Trump Superstore.

MAGA voters were promised lower prices, cheap energy, restored prosperity and an end to endless foreign wars. Instead, they received four-dollar gasoline, stubbornly expensive groceries, another widening Middle Eastern conflict and a president who increasingly seems unable—or unwilling—to understand why his own supporters are angry. People did not buy Trump merchandise merely because they needed another polyester shirt. They bought it because it represented something. It was a declaration of faith in the political promise that Trump would restore the country, drain the swamp, break the globalist system and put the forgotten American worker first. But when belief in the promise disappears, the merchandise becomes clutter.

A $30 Trump hat looks considerably less attractive when gasoline costs more than $4 per gallon. A Trump flag becomes difficult to justify when the grocery bill keeps climbing. A gold-painted Trump statue becomes an absurd luxury when working families are deciding whether to purchase food or place the electric bill on a credit card. The Trump Superstore did not run out of Trump merchandise. It ran out of people willing to believe that owning it still meant something.

There is also a spiritual lesson here for Bible believers. Far too many Christians transformed Donald Trump from a political candidate into some sort of messianic personality. MAGA rallies began resembling religious revivals, political slogans displaced biblical discernment, and any criticism of Trump was treated as an act of apostasy. But Donald Trump is not Jesus Christ. MAGA is not the Church. America is not Israel, and no occupant of the White House can save a nation that has rejected the Book, the blood and the blessed hope.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 19:2 (KJB)

The Bible warns us plainly, but millions preferred the red hat to the old Book. Now the political merchandise is gathering dust and the movement built around it is discovering that personality cults cannot indefinitely survive broken promises and economic pain. This is not an endorsement of the Democrats, whose godless agenda remains every bit as wicked and destructive as it has always been. It is a warning against turning any politician into a saviour and then refusing to acknowledge reality when his promises collapse. The giant “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS” banner outside the Trump Superstore could just as easily be hanging over the Trump presidency. The excitement is disappearing, the crowds are shrinking, even Republican loyalty is weakening. The polling is collapsing, and the merchandise that once symbolized a political revolution is being dumped at half price.

Trump successfully sold MAGA America a golden age, but it turned out to be a golden age bill of goods. . What his supporters received were higher bills, expensive gasoline, costly groceries and another war. Now they are walking away from the merchandise because they are walking away from the illusion. The Trump Superstore is closing because the customers have disappeared. Unless something changes dramatically, history may record that its massive liquidation banner became the perfect political obituary for the rapidly failing Trump presidency:

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS—EVERYTHING MUST GO. BYE, BYE, MISS AMERICAN PIE.
