Psalm 139:12
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee {O Lord};
But the night shineth as the day:
The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
Hello, I want to share with you what the Lord told me about the times and seasons of the Rapture (1 Thes. 4:13-18; 5:1, 2). People are always concerned about the timing of the Rapture. I'll start off with what the Lord and His angels told me this morning about when the Rapture will happen.
A few minutes ago, this morning, the angel of the Lord suddenly spoke to me and said,
"The Lord is going to tell you when the Rapture will happen".
Immediately after he said this, the Lord said,
"I will come when this world is not ready".
{Mt. 24:44; 25:5/ 1 Thes. 5:1, 2}
That statement just set off a fire of scriptures flooding to my memory which will constitute the content of this post...you know what I'm talking? Jesus said in Jn. 14:26 that the Holy Spirit will remind us of whatever He has said.
The Bible - the Voice of God
The Bible is Not a Book
It is a Man Talking to You from Another World
Jesus the Word of God
Jesus God the Man
Whenever the Lord Jesus talks to you, the Holy Spirit will bring scriptures to your memory that are in context with whatever Jesus said to you (Jn. 14:26; 15:26; 16:7-15 - The Ministry of the Holy Spirit). Jesus' Name is the word of God (Rev. 19:12, 13). In Greek the word for "word" in this passage is "logos". This Greek word means "the written word". It's talking about the Bible. Whatever Jesus said is in the Bible. So, when you read the Bible, you're reading whatever Jesus has said because Jesus is the "logos" of God. This means that Jesus is the one talking throughout all scripture. He is the word of God. He is the one that gave the Ten Commandments not God the Father (Ex. 20). This also means that the Bible is alive (Heb. 4:12). When you read it, it talks to you (Pr. 6:20-22). It comes to memory at the word of God you hear and read (Jn. 14:26).
The Holy Spirit will begin bringing scripture to your memory the way a man talks to you. Whenever this happens you can talk like a prophet and say, "This is what the Holy Spirit says," or say, "Thus says the Lord" and then quote the verse or passage that comes to mind. To get this ability you have to know the Bible. So, study the Bible to hear the voice of God talking to your memory (2 Tim. 2:15)
Thus, from what Jesus said to me above in red, the first scripture that comes to mind comes from His words "not ready". It is the passage Lk. 21:29-36. In this passage Jesus calls His return a "snare" (V. 35) which means a "trap". The return of the Lord is a trap on the world. In v. 36 Jesus tells who the Rapture will trap; those not watching for His return. Only those who are not watching for His return will not be ready for it. This not only applies to the unsaved but more vital, Jesus is saying this to His church. He's warning Christians who instead of watching for His return, start to party and fight other Christians in church (Mt. 24:48-51). This is called "impatience" (Lk. 8:15). You have to repent of partying God calls this "the lust of life") and endure in patience waiting and watching for the Lord's return (Heb. 10:35-37/ Mt. 24:13).
Thus, because the Lord Jesus above in red said that He's coming when the world is not ready for Him; a trap, the time of the Rapture is not according to man's clocks. It is not an hour on our watches that tell the time of the Lord's return. It is a spiritual condition that sets the time for the day and the hour of the Lord Jesus' return from the third heaven. That spiritual condition is called "not ready". Not being ready for Jesus means to be asleep in the Light (Mk. 13:32-37).
Mark 13:32-37
Authorized (King James) Version
Asleep in the Light
32 {And Jesus said} But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34 For the Son of man is as a man taking 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 ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36 lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
The reason I have the midnight sky as the picture for this post is because God said to show a "black sky" for it...yes, I get everything in these posts from God. From words like what to say and the title, to the pics...If He doesn't tell me these things beforehand, I ask Him for them so that these messages are "scripture" like the Bible. Meaning "from God" or "God breathed" (2 Tim. 3:16). This kind of word from God is called "rhema" in Greek which means "tongues and prophecy" at work (1 Cor. 12:7-11), or direct messages from the Lord and His angels. The word of God not written in the Bible but new messages. Rhema.
Also, Jesus said to put a black sky at midnight as the pic describing this message because He said prophetically that that's how He sees the earth when He returns...like a black midnight sky...the middle of night...a world in the middle of sin when the devil is at work. An angel of the Lord told me this not too long ago this morning,
"The Lord wants you to know about 'Night'. Night is when the devil is working".
{Jn. 11:8-10/ 1 Thes. 5:4-6}.
My prophetic work on this website comes from the Lord through the spiritual gifts He's given to me in the baptism into the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12-14). Tongues and prophecy or the spiritual power to receive direct messages not written in the Bible from the Lord and His angels, the authors of the Bible.
What I mean by the "authors", is that judging from the way God and His angels talk to me, I can discern in the Bible from the messages to the prophets if it was the Lord talking to them or His angels. But since the words of the angels come from God, all the messages from the prophets in the Bible are from God or are "God breathed". Some of the messages to the prophets in the Bible were from the angels; the same angels who talk to me. But the prophets called them "God" or "the Lord" not knowing it was an angel speaking. Sometimes, like in the Psalms of David and Isaiah, the Lord is talking in the third-party sense, and it sounds like a man or an angel talking but it's Him. Only prophets will discern this stuff.
What Does "Not Ready" for the Return of Christ Mean?
It Means a Black Sky Over Earth
The Middle of Night
Matthew 24:36-51- 25:1-13
Authorized (King James) Version
36 {And Jesus said} But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 and shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 and shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
25 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
The Middle of Night Means a People in Sin
When the Devil is Working
Both Unsaved and Christian
Being not ready for Christ's return and sleeping at midnight means the devil is at work in the world (2 Thes. 2:1-9).
It means that the people do not love the truth of the Bible but take pleasure in unrighteousness (2 Thes. 2:10-12).
People who instead of watching for the Lord's Return, they sleep spiritually, or party and fight the Church (Mt. 24:48-51).
People eating, drinking and getting married, or, partying, instead of watching for Christ's return (Mt. 24:36-42).
People doing everyday common things like going to work, partying after work and on the weekends and meeting people or getting married, instead of watching for Christ's return (Lk. 17:22-37).
The sin of the impatient and evil servant is unbelief like the world (Lk. 12:35-48). They're all unbelievers in a world when the devil is working. That's the middle of night blackness of darkness that the black sky in the post represents.
Why Midnight?
What Midnight Means in the Bible
God moves at midnight (Acts 16:25, 26).
God killed the firstborn of Egypt at midnight (Ex. 12:29, 30).
Pray at midnight (Ps. 119:62-64).
Jesus will return at midnight (Mt. 25:6).
It will be midnight at the last trump (1 Cor. 15:52/ 1 Thes. 4:16/ Rev. 11:1-15).
Don't Put a Day or an Hour on Christ's Return
The reason for this is because the Lord told me that God doesn't want man to know the exact day or hour, as people do today, because they will not be ready if they know. They will wait until the last minute to get ready for Jesus. So, to put a day and an hour to get ready will make you not ready because you have to be ready before Jesus comes to go in the Rapture, not wait until the last minute. This means to look for Jesus. Watch for His return not indulge in physical pleasure. This means that to be ready means to want Jesus more than this life. More than the pleasures of life. More than friends and marriage and kids. More than working and partying. More than a social life. More than life.
Knowing Jesus is Better Than Life
(Jn. 12:23-26)
Matthew 10:34-39
Authorized (King James) Version
34 {And Jesus said} think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
A few days ago, an angel told me that Jesus said that I'm taking my clothes off and putting on His. Jesus was looking at me because I was looking for Him. Watching. Rev. 19:7, 8 says that our clothes are the righteous acts of the church. Doing God's word (Rev. 22:14).
Then after that the angel said that Jesus said that I'm ready for the Rapture because I don't want this life. I don't want the impatience, partying and fighting of the evil servant in Mt. 24:48-51. That I don't want the eating, drinking and getting married (the partying) of this life (the lust of life). I'd rather have Jesus. The Holy Spirit made me this way (Jn. 15:5). So, it's the same with you. Jesus says to us now,
"Did you hear what I said"?
"I said you're ready because I don't see your old ways on you".
(Rev. 19:7, 8; 22:14)
The Rapture Is Not Imminent
It Happens at the Last Trump
On the Day that Jesus Returns in His Descent from Heaven
While He's in the Air
Before His Feet Touch the Mount of Olives
Lots of people believe that the Rapture is imminent. That it could happen at any moment, so you got to be ready by preaching. The preaching part is true (Mt. 24:43-47). But Jesus told me by prophecy long ago that He never said that He's coming is imminent as people say that the Rapture is. He said that He said He's coming at midnight. Now we understand that midnight means a people in darkness and unbelief. Both Christians and the lost got unbelief. But Mt. 24:36-51 says that we got a choice to prepare. To believe and obey or party and fight. This is the choice that comes to believe in Jesus or not from the witnessing of the Gospel to you. Jesus is presented to you as God's Son who died for your sins to bring you back to God (Jn. 3:16).
Having this choice means that Mt. 24:36-51 means that the Holy Spirit and Christians will be on earth right up to the Day of the Lord when Jesus comes back. So, the Rapture happens on the Day that Jesus returns. At the last trump.
Matthew 24:29-31
Authorized (King James) Version
29 {And Jesus said} 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: 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.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
16 For the Lord {Jesus} 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: 17 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.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Authorized (King James) Version
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all {die}, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we {alive at the coming of the Lord} shall be changed.
The Last Trump Happens "After" the Great Tribulation
(Rev. 11:1-15)
Matthew 24:29-31
Authorized (King James) Version
29 {And Jesus said} 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: 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.
The Holy Spirit and Christians Will be on Earth When Christ Returns
The Rapture happens after the tribulation (Mt. 24:29) and after the Lord descends in His return (1 Thes. 4:16, 17). While He's in the air (1 Thes. 4:17) but before His feet touch the earth at the Mount of Olives and He goes to war with Satan and His children (Zec. 14:4).
All of this means that there will be Christians on earth when Christ returns. They will not be Raptured until after Jesus descends from heaven in His return (1 Thes. 4:16, 17). So, what does Jesus mean that He will return in the middle of Night, if He says that He's coming back after the tribulation? By midnight God means that He'll be coming back in the middle of the New World Order (1 Thes. 5:1-11). In the middle of the devil working as False Messiah in the world. In the Middle of the Dragon's, the Beast's and False Prophet's world Empire in Rev. 13. The New World Order.
So, Jesus is saying that He's coming back on a world of unbelievers not ready for Him. On a world living in the middle of a Satanic World Empire fooled by a system and a man that stops all war and makes peace and safety (security from war) claiming to be the Messiah, Jesus, returned. But Jesus comes after the war of the great tribulation.
After the war of the Great Tribulation where Satan will kill off Christians, he will make world peace and end all war. So, after the great tribulation war against Christians, in the middle of the world peace empire (The devil's world), Jesus will return (1 Thes. 5:1-11).
So, in 1 Thes. 5:1-11 the Holy Spirit is talking to Christians in the world when Christ returns. He's coming back during a great world peace established by the devil in human form and the Holy Spirit is also telling us in 1 Thes. 5:1-11 that we are not in darkness that Christ's return should overtake us as a thief. To the unbelievers Jesus is returning as a thief in the Night. But to Christians, He is returning as the Savior in the Rapture.
1 Pt. 3 talks about Jesus destroying the world when He returns. The Christians will be raptured by Jesus in His return as God's way of saving us from that wrath of 1 Pt. 3. But the Rapture happens on the day that Jesus comes back while He's in the air (1 Thes. 4:17) before His feet touch the Mount of Olives (Zec. 14:4).
Why Is Jesus Rapturing the Church While He's in the Air
And Before His Feet Touch the Earth?
To save us from the wrath of God of 1 Pt. 3 and Rev. 19. He descends then raptures us and returns with us so not to destroy us with the world of unbelievers after He touches the Mount of Olives with His feet. (1 Thes. 5:9).
1 Thessalonians 5:1-9
Authorized (King James) Version
5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
World without end. Amen.
