Matthew 24:3, 4, 14, 30, 31
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
3 And as {Jesus} sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came {to} Him privately, saying,
"Tell us, when shall these things be"?
"And what shall be the sign of {Your} coming, and of the end of the world"?
4 And Jesus answered and said {to} them,
"Take heed that no man {deceives} you".
14 "And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness {to} all nations",
"And then shall the end come".
30 "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".
31 "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".
Acts 1:6-9
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
6 When {the church} therefore were come together, they asked of {Jesus}, saying,
"Lord, {will You} at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 And {Jesus} said {to} them,
"It is not for you to know the times or the seasons",
"Which the Father {has} put in His own power".
8 "But {you} shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you". "And {you} shall be witnesses {to} Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria",
"And {to} the uttermost part of the earth".
9 And when {Jesus} had spoken these things,
While they beheld,
He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
Whenever Jesus talks about signs in the Bible, He is talking to unbelievers. This means that signs are done in public to convince everyone that sees it of the truth about Jesus; that He is the Son of God.
In Mt. 12:38-40, Jesus told everyone that His resurrection is the sign to unbelievers. This means that even if you don't believe in Jesus, that He is the Son of God, and His resurrection can convince you because it is truth and was thus done in public (Acts 26:25-27).
When Jesus returns, the sky opening and Jesus descending from the clouds, is another sign of the truth, that Jesus is the Son of God (Mt. 24:30). This is something that every eye will see (Rev. 1:7). You don't have to believe in Jesus to see Him return. You don't have to believe that He rose from the dead. But He did this in public to convince you because it's true (Col. 2:14, 15). You don't have to believe in Jesus' return. But it will be done in public because it's the truth that Jesus is the Son of God (Rev. 1:7).
Because Jesus is talking about unbelievers in context in Mt. 12:38-40, this means that only the unbelievers will see Jesus return because the believers will have been raptured before the Jesus returns (1Thes. 4:16, 17). The believers will return with Jesus (Rev. 19:). They will not be on earth to see Him return (Rev. 1:7/ Zec. 14:4). See my message in the link below for a warning from the Lord to believers who will not be raptured.
James said that even the devils believe in Jesus and are scared of Him (Jms. 2:19). The Apostle Peter said that people mock the return of Christ because they don't believe (2 Pt. 3:3, 4). But the Apostle John said that the devil will have the nuclear weapons of this world's armies aimed at Jesus in the sky when He returns (Rev. 19:19-21). Even the devils believe. You don't believe in Jesus' resurrection and return. But the devils know they're true and are fighting Him (Mt. 28:11-15/ Rev. 19:19, 20). What does that say to you about your unbelief in Jesus' signs of His resurrection and return in the sky? That you're a fool if you don't believe the truth. Stupider than Satan (Eze. 28:17/ Ecc. 3:18, 19/ Ps. 14:1).
The return of Christ in the sky is the sign of the rapture because just before Jesus' feet touch the Mount of Olives (Zec. 14:4), He raptures His church in the twinkling of an eye (1 Cor. 15:51, 52/ 1 Thes. 4:16, 17), and we return with Christ from the sky to fight this evil world with Him (Rev. 19:11-21). When you see that sky open, the time to repent and get right with God through faith in Christ, is over. It doesn't matter how sincere you are. It's too late (Heb. 12:17).
Witnessing Brings the End
Not Our Predictions of Christ's Return
Both of the opening scripture passages above are talking about witnessing to people about Jesus. In Mt. 24:14 Jesus said that the end comes after the church witnesses to all nations and the Gospel is a witness for or against them on Judgement Day. In Acts 1:7, 8 Jesus says that the church is not to know that times and the seasons of Christ's return, but that what we are to know about, is that we are to witness about Jesus until He comes back.
Paraphrased, what the Lord Jesus is saying when you combine these two passages is that witnessing about Jesus brings Him back. So, we can't predict the day and hour of His return for that reason (Mt. 24:29-51). When we "go" to all nations to witness to them about Jesus, as Jesus said to (Mt. 28:18-20/ Mk. 16:15-20/ Lk. 24:44-52/ Jn. 19:20-23/ Acts 1:1-11), only God the Father knows when we've witnessed to the last soul. We can never know. All we know is that we witness to all nations (Acts 1:6-8). So, trying to predict the day and hour of Christ's return is impossible for the church.
The Church Doesn't Have the Right Calendars
To Predict the Return of Jesus
We can't predict the day and hour of Christ's return for two reasons. The return of Christ is timed according to our witnessing, and it is timed according to the Calendars of the Gods. We don't have these calendars to predict the day and hour of Christ's return, and we don't know when we've witnessed to the last soul on earth. Only God knows these things.
I have a post here on this website that I wrote a couple months ago. It's called,
"'I'm About To Return' Says the Lord Jesus. The Lord's Prophecy About The Solar Eclipse On April 8th, 2024". See link below.
In this post, is a message from archangel Gabriel about the timers of the rapture. Read it and see that we don't have their calendars to correctly predict the day and hour of Christ's return. The angels have these calendars because in the book of Daniel, archangel Gabriel gave the time of Christ's return to the church (Dan. 9:20-27 & 12). See also the message in the link below.
Here is the excerpt from said message,
This following message was given to me by the Lord on March 6th, 2024.
"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".
"Your life's being cut short by the Lord because of the Rapture".
"...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}
We Can Know the Rapture is Near
But Not the Day & Hour
Because Witnessing Brings Jesus Back
The Church can't predict the day and hour of Jesus' return. We can know the year from Daniel's seventieth week, in Daniel 9:20-27. But not the day and hour (Mt. 24:29-51). In Mt. 24:33 Jesus said that we can know that His return and the rapture are near. But Jesus says in Mt. 24:36 that we can't know the day and the hour. We have to have archangel Gabriel's calendar and the ability to know when we've witnessed to the last soul on earth. Only heaven knows these things. Know that witnessing brings the end. Our job is to witness. The angels have the calendars. That's why Gabriel told Daniel and us about the seventieth week. The angels know the time, when Jesus returns, and the church knows witnessing, brings the end.
You still don't get it...the Lord and the angels are in heaven. That's where the calendar is that reveals the day and hour of Christ's return. God the Father has it. It's called "The Prognostic Calendar" and "Astronomical Forecasts". Not astrological forecasts. Astronomy is the study of the astrophysical worlds. These calendars can also be termed "The Astrophysical Calendar".
Astrology is a demonic art condemned by the Lord as witchcraft (Lev. 19:26/ Dt. 4:19; 18:10-14/ Isa. 47:13, 14) because the evil civilizations, the fallen angels, come from those stars. The twelve planet constellations of the enemy are the worlds that work with earth against Christ which Christ is coming back to burn (2 Pt. 3).
Using the sun, moon, stars and planet constellations as timers is not astrology. Astrology is divination that tries to predict the future. Gen. 1:14 says that the sun, moon and stars are to be used as signs to mark times and seasons. This is what the angel of the Lord is talking about above when he said that the sun, moon and planet constellations are the timers of the angels. This is called astronomy, not astrology. The difference is that the astrophysical worlds are used to mark time; as timers. Not to predict the future. To use the stars to predict the future is called divination. Astrology is divination. Astronomy tells people what the stars and planets are. Astronomy is the study of the stars and planets. Astrology is the con of those devils that used to live on those worlds to try and predict the future. Astronomy is from the Lord. Jesus' birth and return are foretold in the stars through astronomy, not astrology (His birth - Mt. 2:1-11. His return - Mt. 24:29-31/ Joel 2:28-31).
The Lord now speaks from various posts on my website,
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,
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.
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 'til 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 {The antichrist - 1 Thes. 5:1-10/ 2 Thes. 2:1-12} 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}.
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}.
What I know about the Feast of Trumpets is that it prepares us to meet God. It was fulfilled in Jesus and symbolizes His return. It is also known as Rosh Hashana. Read everything below to understand that Jesus returns at the last trump in the Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh Hashana. This feast is celebrated yearly at the end of the agricultural harvest which symbolizes God's final harvest of souls.
Israel marks their months according to new moons. The Feast of Trumpets begins on the first day of the new moon in the seventh Month. This would be in the Fall of that year in American calendars. September and October. Rosh Hashana means "the first feasts of the fall". Thus, the Lord's return begins with the rapture in the fall of one of the years during the antichrist's reign of terror.
Jesus said in Mt. 24:32, 33 that the signs of the times tell us that Jesus' return is near, at the very doors. But in verses 36 and 42 Jesus says that we can't know the exact day and hour. Amen. The reason that Jesus mentions the "summer" season in verse 32 is not to indict that He will return in the rapture in the summer season of that year. But summer begins the ripening of the fruit that ends in the harvest of the Fall season of that fruit. So, from June to September is the maturation and climacteric phase of the fruit, and the harvest of that fruit ends with the final trumpet blast of the Feast of Trumpets. Jesus returns in the Fall season of that Feast, at the last trump, of the Feast of Trumpets. The final harvest of souls in the Gentile nations (Joel 2).
So, start getting ready in the summer to be harvested/ raptured in the Fall at the last trump of the Feast of Rosh Hoshana. The rapture occurs in the Fall at the last trump of one of the years of the devil's reign of terror on earth. That's what our Lord Christ is saying in Mt. 24:32-34.
The Feast of Trumpets, also known as Rosh Hashanah, is a Jewish holiday that has multiple meanings:
Jesus' return The Feast of Trumpets foreshadows Jesus' return to Earth, when he will take control of the world and bring peace and happiness. The trumpet blasts are a call to God for help, and a reminder of God's commitment to Israel.
New year The Feast of Trumpets marks the beginning of the Jewish new year, and is considered the start of the high holy days.
Repentance The Feast of Trumpets is a time for repentance, and for casting off sins by throwing stones into water.
Coronation The Feast of Trumpets is a time to gather God's people and prepare to one day coronate Jesus.
Rest and offerings The Feast of Trumpets is a day when people are commanded to rest from work and present offerings to God.
Perfection The Feast of Trumpets is celebrated on the first day of the seventh month, which is considered a Sabbath month. The number seven is associated with perfection and holiness.

World without end. Amen.
