Stop Setting Dates And Start Witnessing Because Witnessing Brings Jesus Back, Not Date Setting

Time is at Hand
2 Peter 3:8-12
Living Bible
8 But don’t forget this, dear friends, that a day or a thousand years from now is like tomorrow to the Lord. 9 He isn’t really being slow about his promised return, even though it sometimes seems that way. But he is waiting, for the good reason that he is not willing that any should perish, and he is giving more time for sinners to repent.
10 The day of the Lord is surely coming, as unexpectedly as a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the heavenly bodies will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be burned up.
11 And so since everything around us is going to melt away, what holy, godly lives we should be living! 12 You should look forward to that day and hurry it along—the day when God will set the heavens on fire, and the heavenly bodies will melt and disappear in flames.
Setting dates for Christ's return isn't going to bring Jesus back. But witnessing will. So, the Lord says to stop setting dates and to start witnessing. We can speed up and hurry along the day that Jesus comes back by witnessing.
Acts 1:6-8
Modern English Version
6 So when they had come together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or the dates, which the Father has fixed by His own authority.
8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
NOTE that in Acts 1:6 above that Jesus ties His return to the rapture indicating that they are separate events that occur on the same day. The Apostles call His return the "restoration" of Israel in verse 6.
Furthermore, in Jeremiah 31:31-37 the Bible ties Jesus' return with the restoration of Israel. In Luke 13:34, 35 Jesus indicates that Israel's restoration comes from their confession of Jesus as the Messiah.
Revelation 1:7 and Zechariah 12:10 both say that when Israel sees Jesus returning in the sky, that it will cause a national repentance to Jesus as the Messiah prophesied in the Bible. Jesus will reign over all nations from Jerusalem (Zec. 14:1-4).
In Romans 11:13-32 the Apostle Paul reveals God's plan to save Israel with His return after He saves the Gentiles through witnessing. Israel will return to God when they see Jesus coming back in the sky after we get the Gentiles saved through witnessing.
Thus, Jesus in Acts 1:7 ties His return with the rapture when He said that it is not for us to know the times or the seasons, indicating that when He returns that He not only restores Israel, but also denotes the rapture occurring on the same day by saying that no one knows the day or the hour (Mt. 24:36).
Witnessing not only prepares us for the rapture, but also hurries along and speeds it up because having the Gospel as a witness for or against every soul on earth, is what God is timing the rapture and His return by and is also what witnessing is all about (Mt. 24:14).
In earlier messages from the Lord here on this website, the Lord and His archangels spoke and made me understand what the Bible is talking about when it comes to date setting. The following is what the angel Gabriel of the Lord said to me about date setting with our watches, excerpt taken from my message,
"What Time Is Jesus Coming Back?"
The Lord wants to remind you today that the time is not according to man's time.
This is what the Lord says today about the time of God's Son's return.
The angel of the Lord spoke to me and said,
"The time is not according to man's calendars. It is based on celestial calendars in heaven. They sit in God's face as He pronounces judgement on them that do not repent before His return. This is the time of the regeneration. The final call before His return. It will last until Jesus' feet touches on the top of the mount of Olives; His toe tips and returns. When He does this, it will cave in a great cave".
Jewish Calendars are based on lunar cycles not on watches.
God and angels made their calendars.
The following are excerpts from my message in the link after the two following excerpts titled,
"'I'm About To Return' Says The Lord Jesus.
The Lord's Prophecy About The Solar Eclipse On April 8th, 2024"
This following message was given to me by the Lord on March 6th, 2024.
"God is tired of you because you keep saying 'OK' but do nothing for Him.
You have until the next full moon to preach
{March 25th, 2024, 3 AM = 19 days from March 6th, 2024}.
Those
{the sun and moon - Gen. 1:14}
are the timers of the gods.
We time things by the planet constellations, not by your watches.
Your watches don't mean squat in our realm.
You need to learn God's timing for His Son.
The 'times and seasons' is talking about the Rapture
{Gen. 1:14/ Acts 1:6, 7/ Mt. 24: 29-51/ 1 Thes. 4:13-18-5:1-11}.
It's being timed by solar and lunar eclipses".
{Lk. 21:25-28/ Joel 2:31}.
The angel Gabriel of the Lord continues,
"The sun and the moon are the timers of the gods
{the principalities and powers of Light}.
These angels time things according to moon phases,
And solar and lunar eclipses.
Not by your time watches,
Which is what you need to tell these men of God.
Let them learn from me through your word.
Do whatever I tell you starting now to make the Rapture.
Now look at what the Lord says about setting dates and to witnessing because witnessing, not date setting, prepares us for the Lord's return. Being ready is what it's about, not finding the date to get ready at the last second.
Thus, here is the excerpt taken from my message, "The Sign Of The Rapture". The sign of the rapture, is the revelation of the devil according to 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4,
The Sign of The Rapture
The Lord Jesus says,
"My people are getting ready for Me,
Because they're listening.
They're getting Me on My horse's saddle.
You better start getting ready for Me.
You better start reading the Bible to find the way home,
Because I'm about to return,
And you don't know when".
"If you try to predict My return, that means that you're not living right,
Because you want to find out when it is so that at the last minute, you can repent.
Stop predicting. Stop trying to get ready at the last minute. Live right today
{stay in church and talk to people about Jesus},
And that's how you'll be ready for the rapture".
"All that I require
{to make the rapture}
Is for you to stay in church and talk to people about Me {witness}.
That's what it means to be faithful"
{Heb. 10:24, 25/ Mt. 24:43-46}.
"Stay out of it
{predicting}.
It's not your business to know
{the day and the hour}.
I gave you your job
{witnessing}.
That's why I'm telling you to stay out of predicting.
You won't be ready for My return.
I told you to stop predicting,
Or you're going to lose Me.
You're going to lose your soul,
And be in hell".
"Are you happy when we talk?
Wait 'till you get to heaven!
You're going to be jumping like you're mad"!
"I want My people to know when I'm coming.
I'm using you
{that's me, Darrin} {to tell them}
because you write what is told to you.
I'm coming on the last day of the Feast of Trumpets
{at the last trump of the Feast of Trumpets - 1 Cor. 15:51, 52/ 1 Thes. 4:16, 17 -
during the reign of the antichrist.
Not at the seventh trumpet in the Seven Trumpets of Judgement in Rev. 11:15-19}
when that one
is in control.
I'm coming within one (1) to three (3) years from when his reign begins.
Israel will keep the Feasts
{during his reign of terror during the Great Tribulation}.
It's going to be the beginning of a wedding
{Lk. 12:38-40/ Mt. 25:1-13/ Rev. 21:1-14},
That will be simulated in the skies.
They're going to see what they're doing in the sky.
They're going to hear Me call
{1 Thes. 4:16}.
It's the beginning of the rapture
{1 Thes. 4:17}.
Read about the Feast of Trumpets.
It's going to be a party starting in heaven that goes to the end of the day and when night comes,
There'll be no devil at the end wishing for the chair of the Lord to reign.
I told you when I'm coming back.
So, you better be ready with your church.
Or I'm going to cut you in pieces and throw you in Hades with the devil"
{Mt. 24:48-51}.
When God Gets the World Covered by the Word He'll Come Back
The Return of Jesus has Nothing to Do with Predicting the Day and the Hour
Matthew 24:14
Modern English Version
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Now that you understand that to prepare for the rapture you witness about Jesus, and not set dates, you should prepare for the rapture & the return by talking to people about Jesus. Do your job and hurry along the day of Christ's return and thus the rapture, by witnessing. Show God you want to leave this world to live with Him forever in His world by witnessing because witnessing brings God back to the earth to get us (Mt. 24:14).
Know therefore, that the rapture, the resurrection and the return of Jesus are all separate events that happen on the same day. The rapture is for those who are alive when Jesus comes back (1Thes. 4:17). The resurrection is for those dead in Christ when Jesus comes back (1 Thes. 4:16), and there's when Jesus comes back (1 Thes. 4:14-16). Separate events that happen on the same so fast that they all seem to be one event.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 says that the resurrection and the rapture are separate events that happen in the blink of an eye. However, the dead in Christ go first in that blink of an eye, and we who are alive when Jesus comes back are raptured in the blink of an eye with the dead in Christ to meet Jesus in the sky. This shows that they are separate events that occur on the same day almost at the same time, but are clearly not one event.
Thus, here are two messages that the Lord wrote through me earlier this year in 2025 for you to understand that the rapture, the resurrection and the return are all separate events that occur on the same day so fast, that it seems like one event, but they are clearly not one event.
The Return, The Resurrection And The Rapture
Are Separate Events That Occur On The Same Day
The Rapture Happens On The Day That Jesus Returns
After The Tribulation Begins But Before It Ends
Why Does Jesus Tell Us to Stay Out of Predicting His Return and the Rapture?
Simply put, because you can't predict it. This is what Jesus means in Matthew 24:36 and Acts 1:7 when He says that only God the Father knows the day and the hour. There is no way that you're going to predict that day because you're not God the Father. To do so would take your entire life like a job.
You would have to make a job out of predicting because it's so time consuming due to the fact that it is impossible to predict the day because you're not God the Father. So, stop playing God because Jesus gave us a job to witness about Him everyday instead of predicting His return.
Matthew 24:36
Modern English Version
The Unknown Day and Hour
36 “Concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
Acts 1:7
Modern English Version
{Paraphrased}
7 {Jesus} said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or the dates, which the Father has fixed by His own authority.
God's Illustration About Why No One Can Know the Day or the Hour
Yom Hakeseh & the Feast of Trumpets
Trying to predict the day and the hour of Jesus' return is about as impossible to predict as predicting which day the New Moon begins the Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh Hashanah, in Israel. In Israel, every year the Feast of Yom Hakeseh, which translates from Hebrew to "hidden day", begins the Feast of Trumpets.
This holy day is commonly called in Israel "Of that day and hour no one knows" because they didn't know the exact day it would begin due to the fact that they had to first sight the smallest part of the new moon. It was a two-day feast because they didn't want to celebrate it on the wrong day.
Thus, it is impossible to know the day and the hour of Jesus' return and of the rapture, which both occur on the same day, because no one can predict which day the New Moon will begin the Feast of Trumpets every year. You can't predict it. You would have to be God to know this. That's what God and His Son, Jesus, are saying in Matthew 24:36, Acts 1:7 and with Yom Hakeseh and the Feast Trumpets. Only God the Father knows.
There Will be No Rapture on September 23rd or 24th, 2025
There's No Way to Know the Day and the Hour
Why? Because only God the Father knows the day and the hour. No amount of mathematics from the Bible will give you the exact day and hour of Christ's return. This is why the Simpson's episode predicted that the rapture in 2025 will be false (see video below).
Witnessing brings Jesus. Thus, if you're using mathematics instead of witnessing to predict Jesus' return, it will not happen because only God the Father knows just as only God the Father knows the exact second the New Moon will first show itself. Thus, because we do not know, the only way to know to know; all we can do, is to watch the Moon!
Mark 13:32-37
Modern English Version
The Unknown Day and Hour
32 “But concerning that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33 Take heed, watch and pray. For you do not know when the time will come.
34 For the Son of Man is like a man leaving on a far journey who left his house and gave authority to his servants and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35 “Watch therefore—for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, in the evening, or at midnight, or at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning—
36 lest he come suddenly and find you sleeping.
37 What I say to you I say to all: Watch!”
Since You Do Not Know the Day or the Hour
Be Spontaneous Instant in Season and Out of Season by Preaching or Witnessing
2 Timothy 4:1-2
Authorized (King James) Version
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
A Word from Jesus in Closing,
"I'm waiting for this world to finish preaching before I come back. Not for that calendar {to finish}. I'm not coming back until this world is finished preaching. When they are, I'll come as swift as the morning dawn. I can't give you anything more. You have all you need. You need to decipher My words and make them plain to know".
Matthew 24:14
Modern English Version
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
What Calendar? The one this world is using to predict Jesus' return, obviously ... Jesus is revealing in this conclusion that it is a calendar that they're using ... imagine that ... Witnessing brings the end, not a calendar.
If you want the rapture to take you to heaven, if you want to leave this life to be with God, then get out there and spread the gospel because when you reach the whole world, Jesus will come for you.
Furthermore, from the Holy Spirit ...
Get rid of what you hear people saying about the timing of the rapture; your preconceived ideas, and what others say about it, and let God's word the Bible feed you the truth about it. The more you read the Bible, the more you'll see when Jesus is coming back against what others say and what you hear. Let the Bible teach you when, not people.
For example, the Holy Spirit keeps repeating to me that the rapture will not happen; Jesus will not return to do the rapture, until the devil is first exposed on earth. Before this expose comes a falling away from the Christian faith to the Muslim false religion. The expose will reveal the devil as the one doing the falling away.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
Modern English Version
{Paraphrased}
The Man of Lawlessness
1 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and concerning our gathering together unto Him {in the air the rapture}, we ask you
2 not to let your mind be quickly shaken or be troubled, neither in spirit nor by word, nor by letter coming as though from us, as if the day of Christ is already here.
3 Do not let anyone deceive you in any way. For that Day will not come unless a falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,
4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or is worshipped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself as God.
I want you to notice that the apostle Paul connects the coming of the Lord, or the return of Jesus, with our gathering together with Him in the air in the rapture. Both of these events occur on the same day when Jesus returns.
Further scriptural insight shows that the day that Jesus returns is also the day when Jesus steals us away from this world in the Night like a thief. The thief in the night doctrine is talking about the rapture not the return when Jesus takes us to heaven in the blink of an eye just before He returns back to earth with us.
1 Thessalonians 5:1 and 2 say that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night ... both events are separate but occur on the same day making them one but not the same event in the blink of an eye.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-2
Modern English Version
1 Concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that I write to you.
2 For you know perfectly that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
The Holy Spirit is saying here that the reason that people believe that Jesus can return at any time; that His return is imminent, is because they believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. That, first the rapture happens, and then for seven years on earth God pours out the wrath of the Great Tribulation's trumpets, bowls and seals judgements in Revelation chapters six through sixteen, and then Jesus returns after all this in the great Tribulation.
But these people who say this don't know the Bible and they need to learn through Bible study what the Tribulation is and what the wrath of God is because people lose sight of the truth when they don't study the Bible regularly (Rom. 10:16, 17). They are calling the judgements of Revelation chapters 6 thru 16 the Great Tribulation and the wrath of God.
The wrath of God is the fury that Jesus executes on the world when He returns (Rev. 19/ 2 Pt. 3). The Great Tribulation is when the devil is in control of the world when Jesus returns (Mt. 24:14-22/ 2 Thes. 2:3-8).
But the Bible and God teach that the day of the Lord's return comes as a thief in the Night. That, Jesus first initiates His return and does the rapture while in the air and then returns with us after the rapture finishes in the blink of an eye (Mt. 24:29-31). That the rapture and the return of Christ occur on the same day. That, there is no pre-tribulation rapture.
There is also no post tribulation rapture. There is only mid-tribulation rapture because the Lord returns while the devil is control. When he says that he is God, God returns (2 Thes. 2:3-8). The only sign of Jesus' return is the rise or the expose of the false prophet in Revelation 13:11-18 and chapter 17.
This is not the antichrist, but the false prophet that Jesus kills when He returns. The antichrist will have already come in revelation 13:1-10 before the false prophet in Revelation 13:11-18.
Through my studies with the Lord and His angels, the Lord has revealed His word to me saying that the false prophet is not the catholic church or the Pope, but the Muslim Mahdi. I'll let pastor Skip Heitzig of Calvary Chapel of Alburquerque show you who the false prophet is in the video below titled, "The Coming Deception".
This is what the Holy Spirit wants to tell you today by repeating to me the books of Thessalonians to you ... there will be no rapture on September 23rd to 25th, 2025. Imagine that ... people are saying that Jesus is coming back at the last trump in the Feast of Trumpets this month. But the devil hasn't been revealed yet ... align your teachings to the Bible (Pr. 4:20-27/ 2 Tim. 2:15).

The Great Tribulation
15 “So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),

17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house.
18 Let him who is in the field not return to take his clothes.
19 Woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse in those days!
20 Pray that your escape will not be in the winter or on the Sabbath.
21 For then will be great tribulation, such as has not happened since the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be.
22 “Unless those days were shortened, no one would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
