Timing of The Rapture

T A K E N

H O M E

Some days I painfully yearn for Christ's return,        knowing today is not the day.

    As I watch Yeshua's prophecies being fulfilled on the nightly news, I question myself, just how close are we to the rapture and the "Return of The Singularity?" We are told that no man can know the "hour" or the "day" of Christ's return, and I concur. However, Yeshua said this in Matthew 24; 32-33, "Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when it's branch has already become tender, and puts forth it's leaves, you know the summer is near; even so you too, when you see all these things recognize that He is near, right at the door." 

    Most Christians would agree that the fig tree is symbolic of Israel and her leaves becoming "tender," as new shoots, refers to her rebirth as a nation. On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly approved a partition plan for Palestine, put forward by the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine. The 1947 UN Partition divided the area into three entities: a Jewish state, an Arab state, and an international zone around Jerusalem. Then on May 14Th, 1948, the day the British mandate expired was the official announcement that the new Jewish state named the State of Israel had been formally established Israel's Independence Day.

     In Matthew 24:34 Yeshua says, "Truly I say to you this generation will not pass away until all these things take place." This generation is referring to the generation that sees Israel become a nation, that it would not pass away until all is accomplished. Adding one generation, 70 years, {Psalm 90:10} to the date of Israel's birth, Nov.29Th, 1947, is Nov. 29Th 2017. Subtracting seven years of tribulation would bring us to Nov. 2010.

    A second event foretold by Yeshua, ".... and they {the Jews} will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." Luke 21:24

    In 70 A.D., forty years after Jesus spoke those words Titus and the Roman army destroyed the temple and the sanctuary taking control of Jerusalem and the Jews were then scattered upon the face of the Earth. Jerusalem remained under Gentile occupation for 1,897 years, until the Six-Day war, when on June 7, 1967, Israel regained control of Jerusalem. The times of the Gentiles ended that day, and the Lord God's promise was completely fulfilled, as a Biblical Israel must possess Jerusalem. The holiest city on Earth, Jerusalem, was now under the control of the sons of Abraham, a miracle of miracles, the prophecy come true.

    1967 was truly a Year of Jubilee, the 50th year of a 50 year period. If we were to add one more "Year of Jubilee," of 50 years to this 1967 date, this would bring us to 2017, the final year of Jubilee, Christ’s return.

120 Years of Jubilee

    Genesis 6:1- 7, "Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God {demons} saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." "The Nephilim {giants resulting from demons raping women} were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men {giants} who were of old, men of renown."

Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."

Some Christians believe this scripture, "nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years" refers to the amount of time mankind had left on the earth prior to the flood, but this is not so. Noah built the ark in approximately 100 years, not 120. Genesis 5:32 says that Noah was 500 years old when he first became a father and God commanded him to build the Ark. The flood occurred in the 600th year of Noah’s life. As Genesis 6:11, says, "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened."

Let’s consider this 120 year period. The word for "years" in this passage is the word "shabuum." Shabuum has several meanings in the Hebrew; one meaning is Jubilee years. Jubilee years are 7 weeks of years, which are 49 years, plus one more year, the 50Th year, termed the Year of Jubilee. If we took these 50 years periods and multiplied it by the 120 years given by God for mankind we would come up with 6000 years, which is the approximate age of the earth now.

In the Beginning……..

    Now let us reason together the scripture of Isaiah 46:10, "I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come...."

    The words " in the beginning," and "from ancient times" I believe to be referring to the book of Genesis’, "In the beginning" this is truly from "ancient times." God made known the time line of "the end" by giving us a time line from "the beginning." The Genesis story is of six days of creation and then one day of rest. Perhaps, God is telling us this is the model of the time line of the end, 6 days, "a day is as a thousands years to the Lord." equaling 6000 years. The seventh day, the day of rest, is representative of the millennial one thousand year rest. I can't say for certain that this is the correct interpretation of these scriptures but it does seem plausible and logical, well within the realm of possibility. If this is so, our redemption could be very near.

    Yeshua was born approx. 4 BC and began Jewish manhood at age thirteen, the time in which a Jewish person was fully a practicing Jew, being accountable to follow the 613 commandments. {Luke 2:42} This would have placed Yeshua at 13 years old being at approx. 10 AD. {Remember, the A.D. calendar began with year one.) If and this is a big if, this marked the beginning of the third 2,000 year period, Yeshua’s Jewish spiritual heritage, this would bring us to 2010. Adding the "Seventy Week of Daniel" the seven year tribulation period, we would come to 2017.

    To illustrate another example, we turn to Ezekiel. He was commanded by God to lie on his side for 390 days (one day for each year pertaining to the exile of Israel). God said He would give Israel 7 times punishment if they refused to obey. This gives a total of 2730 years (390 x 7). Israel was carried away captive to Assyria in 720 BCE. From 720 BCE,  adding 2730 years brings us right back to the year 2010.

   The last three Jubilees were: 1867 (The final emancipation of the Jews in Austria and Hungry), 1917 (The 400 yr Ottoman rule ended - Balfour Declaration), and 1967 (The Six Day War - Jerusalem was re-united); It's pretty easy to figure out the next Jubilee year, 1967 + 50yrs = 2017 our greatest jubilee as Christ returns to rule in Jerusalem. We are at this threshold today, approaching the 120th Jubilee year (6000 yrs), the time of the restitution of all things.     
    Acts 3:19-21 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began." The end IS near.       Reference: Daniel’s Timeline.com. 

SIGNS OF THE TIMES ~~~ TRIBULATION WOES 2010?

  It was just a few years ago when the average American had no concern for bailouts, failing banks, 99 trillion in debt, illegals storming our borders, a stock market crash, food storage, or Islamic fanatic terrorists. Now they are daily news stories. End time events are coming at meteoric speed, as the Loser's time is running out, his Islamic terrorist attacks will soon increase in America,

    Sometime in the near future I believe the Federal Reserve vampires will bring down the axe, destroying our economy, probably with a stock market crash. This would lead to a run on the banks, which the government would respond to with a bank holiday. Then all hell will break lose as furious Americans attempt to regain their savings. This will end in rioting, chaos and bedlam. Then the UN troops, and military will enforce Obama's declaration of  martial law, the suspending the Constitution. No more rights, no more freedoms and very likely no more elections.

    Count on Barak Obama, Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chavez, the Castro boys, Hu Jintao, Ahmedinejad and Kim Jung-Il to do their part in bring nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom, drawing us ever nearer to a magnitude 9 Israeli war. 
    The earth will soon increase in natural disasters, man-made famine, pandemic pestilence, nation wars, civil wars, and catastrophic earth changes. The stresses of life will increase to an overwhelming degree of which we have never experienced. Living will become a challenge when food is a daily issue, when violent crime is all around, disease is rampant , unemployment high, homeless families and the economy utterly destroyed. 
    There will be no such thing as God given inalienable rights only government privileges, no more second amendment, no free speech, no right to assemble, no religious freedom, but an intolerant freedom from religion should these elite controllers have their way, and they will. The new mantra will be the "government giveth and the government taketh away." We will fall into government enslavement, no different from Communist China, Soviet Russia, or Fidel's Cuba. Americans will become enslaved by their own government.
     Many American believers scoff at the idea of believers coming under persecution as our nation would never allow it, but soon, very soon our nation will not exist as it is today. It will be run by the shadow government, the one world elite controllers called the Bilderberg group, the Federal Reserve Bank and the world bankers of the New World Order of which I spoke earlier. As the world economies reel in instability and nations fearful of falling into total chaos, they will welcome a one world monetary system, translation, "worldwide slavery."  Those hungry, gripped in fear and drowning in despair, they will gladly accept any savior of peace and security. They will give up their God given rights and freedoms for the great deception's promises.

Why Worry, Be Happy

    Some believers may ask, "Why should any believer be concerned with the things to come? I won't be here for the tribulation the rapture will take us away!" Pre-tribulation believers think they will be taken up in a pre-trib rapture and escape the sufferings of the seven years of tribulation." But is this true? 
    I believe the issue of the timing of the rapture, or more correctly, the resurrection of the saints, the "catching away" is important for us to understand since God has spoken so many times concerning the rapture. I believe Christians will endure through the tribulation up until God’s wrath, which comes towards the very end of time, at the last trumpet, the seventh trumpet.
  I believe the Lord is warning us to prepare our hearts and spirits for the coming persecution of His church.
    It has been our lack of persecution, suffering and hardships that has brought most of us to the conclusion that this life of spiritual ease is the normal Christian life. But this is not so according to the Holy Scriptures. The scriptures say persecution is the norm. The normal Christian experience of believers around the world is filled with sorrows, hardships, persecution, torture and even death. Look at the sufferings of our brethren in China, Africa, Cuba, Iran, Pakistan, Russia and India to name but a few. 
    It states in 1Peter 4:16, ".... but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name. "     
    Philippians 1:29, states, "For to you it has been granted for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake..." 
    2 Tim 1:8, says, "Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God..." 
    Revelation 2:10, in the letter to the church at Smyrna the Lord comforts these martyrs, "Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life."

    It will be quite the shocker for the pre-trib rapture believers when their warm and cozy comfort zone comes crashing down as the Loser's persecutions and tribulations begin and his wrath is hurled full force against those who believe and against Israel, and those who refuse the unholy allegiance. Unprepared and confused that the rapture didn't occur, the Laodicean Church, {which Yeshua called the lukewarm church in Revelations 3:14-22,} will cower, faint or worse.
    Revelation 6:9-11 states," When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also." 
    What will be the reaction of believers when they finally realize they are not about to be whisked up in a pre-trib rapture cloud, but are facing the wrath of the anti-Christ? Terror?
    Yeshua asked this question concerning end time believers, in Luke 18:8, ".... when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" Why would Yeshua ask this question? Because when Yeshua doesn't return to rescue believers in a pre-trib rapture many believers will crumble spiritually. When they finally realize they are destined to live through much tribulation, many will become angry with God, accusing Him of breaking His promise of a pre-trib rescue. Many will lose much of the strength of their faith, living secluded lives in the bondage of fear, which is the absence of faith. Unprepared spiritually, mentally and physically, they will be unable to help the persecuted church. When I say the persecuted church I'm not referring to religious institutions, most of these will turn toward the established one world religion, the great kumbaya of the ecumenical web, Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn and the like. 
    I believe the pre-trib rapture lie is a scheme of Satan to deceive the American church, resulting in their remaining unprepared and weak in Spirit, too crippled to scale the mountain of faith necessary to endure with courage the wrath of anti-christ. They will endure but with great pain and fear.
     Do you realize that millions of Christian prisoners in atheist and Islamic countries consider prison as God's gym for building spiritual giants and beatings as spiritual steroids? 
    Most American believers are spiritually weak, Biblically ignorant, and stuffed with the garbage of this world, almost useless to God and the true church, just the way Satan wants them.
    Many believers will see tribulation signs and make all sorts of pre-trib rapture predictions, "He's coming any day now," making a laughing stock out of Christians, giving Christianity the reputation Satan is hoping for, followers of Jesus Christ are nut jobs. When Yeshua doesn't show up in a pre-trib rapture the unbelievers will begin to mock us as Peter said in " 2 Peter 3: 4, "Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation." 
    Therefore brethren, let's prayerfully look at what the scriptures say concerning the timing of the rapture, knowing that willful ignorance may lead to hardships, unnecessary suffering or perhaps even painful consequences, for ourselves and our family.

                                          Timing Of The Rapture

Pre Tribulation Rapture?   Mid Tribulation Rapture?   Pre-Wrath Rapture?   Post Tribulation Rapture?

Let's examine the Holy Scriptures concerning the rapture and timing of the rapture.

    In Matthew 24: two events are mentioned together "the sign of His coming" and " the end of the age" "Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
Why do the disciplines mention these two events together? Why didn't they say, "What will be the sign of your coming? {the rapture} And then " What will be the sign of the end of the age? Could it be because as they knew from their studies of the first covenant that they will both the rapture and His coming occur in a particular time frame? Let us also note that the disciplines asked "...what will be the "sign" of your "coming." They did not ask what would be the signs of your comings, because there is but one sign and one coming. 
    The pre-trib view rapture view is that Christ leaves Heaven and comes a second time for the church, and then a third coming for the great battle of Armageddon. But clearly the Bible never mentions a third coming.

    In Acts 2:34, it reads, "For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool." This is referring to the final battle when God puts the Loser, Satan, under Yeshua's feet at the end of the tribulation. If Yeshua leaves heaven to Earth's clouds at a pre-trib rapture He can not be sitting at the Father's right hand as it says "until" He makes Yeshua's foes His footstool, can He?"  No, He can't, it's impossible.
    Yeshua will be seated at the right hand of the Father until the time comes to gather His children and then to unleash His just wrath as spoken in Matthew 24:29-31, "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 from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."  Then comes the "Day of the Lord" judgment wrath.

    Clearly this states "Immediately after the tribulation of those days," then the signs in the sun, moon and stars, then THE SIGN, His coming in the clouds, then the trumpet sounds and finally His angels gather the believers. This gathering of believers is the rapture! They  gather His Bride from four mighty winds in heaven. The angels gather the believers from the four winds in the rapture.  And this all happens as it says, "Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days ...."  NOT the tribulation's appointed "time of wrath" when "all the tribes of the earth mourn." as Yeshua comes in His great unleashed wrath.
    Joel also speaks of the time frame of the cosmic display; "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE the great and terrible "Day of the Lord" come."  His time of wrath. Joel 2:31   http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4877972972318189988#

    Again this verse speaks of the cosmic display that will occur "Immediately after the tribulation of those days" but "before the great and terrible "Day of the Lord," the time of God's unleashed "wrath." This supernatural cosmic disturbance of the sun, moon and stars will have the world looking up to the skies, the sun and moon will not exist in brightness, therefore when the Lord comes in His  brightness, appearing in shimmering clouds, THE SIGN, then the believers will be beamed up, the rapture event, before the great and terrible Day of the Lord, before His great wrath against the unrighteous begins. For believers are not appointed to wrath.
    1 Thess. 4:15-17 states, "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not precede them which are asleep." For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2jaQ6hI2Pw
    Again we have the rapture trumpet, Archangel, and the gathering together, being "caught up in the clouds", meeting the Lord in the air, and "so shall we ever be with the Lord."

   Again 1 Corn 15:51-53 says, "Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality."   We are told that not all of us will be dead, but we all, living and dead in Christ will be both raised and changed. 
    1 John 3:2, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
  1 John 2:28, "And now, little children, abide in him; that, WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him AT HIS COMING at his coming." When will we see Him? When He appears at His coming. 
    1 Corn 15 states this occurs at the "last trumpet." Is this the last trumpet in the Bible? When does the last trumpet sound?  Revelation 11:15 says, “The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, we've just been raptured, AND THEN WE SAY, which said: ‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever."
     1 Peter 1:13 says, "Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope TO THE END for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"  If there is a pre-trib rapture why does Peter tell us to "hope to the end…at the revealing of Jesus Christ?" And when will Yeshua be revealed? At the end of time. 
    Again Peter encourages us who face tribulation, First Peter 4:12 says, "Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation. If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you." If you were suffering in prison during the end of the tribulatIon, this verse would make perfect sense. 
    When we witness God's mighty wind shaking the heavens and sweeping away the sun, moon and stars and then King Yeshua bursts through the clouds, you better believe there's going to be some major "rejoicing with exultation!" Millions of believers are going to scream in unison, "Jesuuuuus!" The angel's trumpet will then sound, signaling to the gathering angels, "Ground control,….we have lift off!" to gather in the children as the four winds of Heaven and Earth blow! 
   As it states in Mark 13:27 says, "And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven."  
    First Corinthians 15: 20-23, "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. {the rapture} But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at His coming." 
     John 6:39-40 "And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of ALL which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day." Does everyone means everyone? And does "at the last day"  mean at the last day?

Not appointed to the Day of the Lord’s Wrath

       Believers are not appointed to God’s end of time, Day of the Lord wrath, at the battle of Armageddon, the "great and terrible "Day of the Lord" judgment. We will escape this final destruction by rapture as it says in Romans 5:9, "Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him."1 Thessalonians 1:10, says "...and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come." 
    And again in 1 Thessalonians 5:9, "For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,"

Day of the Lord Wrath

    1 Thess. 5:1-6 says, "Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the Day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day We are not of night nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober." 
    What day will not overtake us? The Day of the Lord. The seven years of tribulation are clearly not sudden destruction. This is referring to the Day of the Lord.
    He tells the brethren they have no need to be told of the times or epochs {significant events} because they KNOW full well that on that day, the Day of the Lord is when sudden destruction will come upon them, the unbelievers. But we are not in darkness that that day {The Day of the Lord} should overtake us. We are children of light. We won't be there on the "Day of the Lord" to be overtaken. as we will be taken.
    "And then the world will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger;" at the final battle " The world" will drink the wine of the wrath of God, not believers, at the final battle. The unbelievers of this world will feel God's wrath at the final battle.
    Rev. 11:18, "And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to reward Your bond-servants the prophets and the saints and those who fear Your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth." The time of His "wrath came" and "the time came for the dead to be judged" comes at the end of the tribulation, therefore His wrath must come at the end of time and not seven years prior. 
    Rev. 15:1," And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God." The 70Th Week of Daniel is not the wrath of God as many pre- trib teachers claim. Rev.15:1 is clear, only the last seven plagues contain "the wrath of God. " Rev. 15:7 says, "And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the WRATH OF GOD, who liveth for ever and ever." The vials are God's full measure of wrath. 
    Next let's examine II Thess.2: 1-4, "Now We beseech you brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him 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 worshiped; so that he as sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." Again the "coming of our Lord" is tied to "our gathering together unto Him."

    First, this passage once again speaks of two events TOGETHER, the coming of the Lord and our gathering together to Him.  He tells us not to be deceived. Paul used the word "beseech" which means to make an urgent request." He was putting great emphasis here because of the extreme importance of this truth for the last days church. The "gathering together unto" Jesus, the day of the winds, will not occur until two other things come first. 
    As the "times of the Gentiles" has ceased and the "70Th Week of Daniel" commences, God is now returning to deal with His people, Israel. We must understand that this period is dedicated to the salvation of Israel.
     Therefore the falling away is speaking of a Jewish falling away, the apostasy, the mass denial of the truth of the Holy Scriptures and the denial of Yeshua as the Jewish Messiah. There will be mass atheism turning to humanism culminating in the Jewish worship of anti-christ as he comes into Jerusalem's temple, except for the faithful Jews who flee to Petra. The faithful Jewish remnant that recognizes the anti-christ will flee to the mountains and be kept safely in the stone mountain of Petra.  
                                                   
    Secondly the rapture will not occur "until that man of sin be revealed." The antichrist will FIRST come into power, ruling the earth, in a one-world government, but NOT as the son of perdition, but as a great world leader. He will bring a degree of prosperity, restoring order out of the chaos of an economic meltdown through the UN's World Bank, and IMF, International Monetary Fund, GATT, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and WTO the World Trade Organization, all one world organizations. He will deal with the famine crisis, through the UN's FAO, Food and Agriculture Organization, and the UN's world food program. The disease crisis {pestilence} will be handled through the WHO, World Health Organization, all possessing globalist ideologies.

    He will also be thought of as a charismatic charmer, a smooth talker, a stellar world leader, a man of all nations, and a man of peace, spearheading the confirming of an agreement. This agreement of "Peace" and "safety" or as Pres. Bush has said numerous time, "Peace and security." will be between the Israeli's and the Palestinian. They will honor "past" treaties of land possessions, "CONFIRMING THE COVENANT" of 1967 borders and the rebuilding of Jerusalem's temple and the daily sacrifice. When we see this treaty confirmed we can mark it on our calendar, The 70Th week of Daniel, the seven years of tribulation as begun.

    After three and a half years, this great world leader will come into the temple of Jerusalem and proclaim all gods to be false and himself as the one true God, the Messianic God of the Jews and the entire world. This is the revealing of the "son of perdition," the abomination which makes desolate" as he defiles the temple." As it says in 2 Thess., " the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God."

    Daniel 9: 27, "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week {7 years} but in the middle of the week {3 1/2 years} he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offerings; and on the wings of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."

Daniel 11:31-33,"Forces from him will arise, desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do away with the regular sacrifice And they will set up the abomination of desolation. By smooth words he will turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will display strength and take action. Those who have insight among the people will give understanding to the many; yet they will fall by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for many days."

    The desecration of the temple, the revealing of the anti-christ and the apostasy, the great falling away from the God of Abraham, and the worshiping the anti-christ, are events which will occur simultaneously. The anti-christ will curse Yeshua, and demand worship; apostate Jews will worship him as their long awaited Messiah and King. This occurs 3 1/2 years after the covenant with death is signed, well into the tribulation. These things must all occur prior to the rapture according to the book of Daniel and 2 Thess2:1-4.

    Examine 2 Thessalonians 1: 4-10, "So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, "when" the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; "when " he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe because our testimony among you was believed "in that day."

    Believers will finally be given rest from persecution, sufferings and martyrdom, when Jesus is revealed from heaven with His angels in flaming fire taking vengeance and punishing with everlasting destruction. This clearly happens at the end of time, "in that day," "The Day of the Lord."

   The timing of the rapture is important because if the pre-wrath rapture is true and the pre- tribulation rapture isn't going to whisk us away before the days of evil we must begin to prepare our hearts, our spirits, our mind, our families and for our physical needs. Yeshua has warned us numerous times in Matthew 24 to prepare for times of famine, earthquakes, hurricanes, poverty, suffering, pestilence, hardships, chaos, imprisonment, terror and yes, even death. Preparation needs to begin today, because the end is near.  Take care of your family.
