The Holy Spirit is Moving Across Our Nation
Monday, February 15, 2021
By Pastor Gary Boyd
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n99xD3F_sXY&t=2065s I am pastor Gary Boyd long a student of Bible prophecy who now sees the holy spirit moving across our nation like never before. We are in a time of revival, a great awakening, with unprecedented numbers coming to the Lord nationwide and indeed worldwide. The prophets are saying Trump will get back his win the deep state has stolen. Many are being arrested now as I write.
This awakening of the spirit in our nation is sending more prayers to our Lord in Heaven who likens them to be as incense. When enough are sent to make his bowl overflowing they are answered on the earth and what is prayed for is given. Now more than ever his people are praying for justice in this stolen election. The modern day prophets are saying Trump will return to the White House in triump, charlatans will be given military tribunal trials, and a new era of government will be instituted. Since we are in a time of a war on terror those arrested for treason stand the chance of being executed. The Lord is saying the federal government must be purged of seditious traitors.
The coronavirus will have its crown thrown down as it splits in two. Creators of this engineered horror will meet there judgement as leaders are caught that had a hand in this debacle and given their just reward. Many a foolish man who worships the dragon and fallen angels will be given judgement in this hour to come.
There will be a new era invoked during this time as people come awake to yurn for a new way to govern. The federal government will be cut down to an operational size, we will have a return to the gold standard, while a new charismatic leader who has been living in the dark will come into power in the next few years, returning parts of the world back to righteousness.
There will be a window of opportunity for Israel to strike its enemies while the iron is hot at the center of its operations that seek to destroy Israel. Its enemies will be driven off their own land as they seek safety in other lands. Jeremiah 49: 34-39 says,
Judgment on Elam (Iran)
34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam,
The foremost of their might.
36 Against Elam I will bring the four winds
From the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies
And before those who seek their life.
I will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’ says the Lord;
‘And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
38 I will set My throne in Elam,
And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord.
39 ‘But it shall come to pass in the latter days:
I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord.
The dark winter, this winter of discontent, will be cut short, with a new spring that will see major changes starting at the Passover. A new era of thinking will find common ground with the people of the eagle. A great harvest of souls will soon be coming out of this. Our nation will find a new energy with new goals and a righteous God to lead the way. Maranatha………….
As you say "our stiff necked Jewish friends" after the rapture, it is then they will know they have been left behind. It will be clear to them then, as the veil is lifted, they will now know have to come to God in the great revival awakening that will be sweeping the earth. The 144,000 that come out of Israel will preach the gospel unto the whole world and it is then and only then that the end will begin with the great tribulation taking stage and the abomination of desolation ringing in our ears. If indeed the rapture happens this years then only 7 years later Jesus will come at the second advent. Come soon Jesus. Maranatha.........
Examining the Evidence for the Pre-Trib Rapture - By Jack Kinsella
Published on: February 9, 2021
(Jack Kinsella passed away in 2013.)
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
Do not lose your faith because the Rapture of the Church has not taken us yet and why nobody should be discouraged that it hasn’t happened yet.
We discussed the fact that God is long-suffering towards us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance and suggested that what appears to us to be a delay is really God providing one last chance for the lost before the Lord Jesus comes for His Church.
As usual, it prompted a firestorm of emails from people demanding that I prove to them that there is such a thing as a pre-Trib Rapture, using all the usual ‘bait’ — I am preaching falsehood that will somehow harm the Church and that the Bible doesn’t teach a ‘great escape’ etc., etc.
It is fascinating to me how those who hold to a different view of the Rapture are so hateful toward those who anticipate the Rapture first and the Tribulation to follow. It is as if they have a holy mission to change my view inspired by the holy spirit to match theirs.
On the other hand, I feel no such mission to ‘convert’ them. Whether one believes in a pre, mid, or post-Trib Rapture, or whether one believes in the Rapture at all, when it happens, if such a one is saved and born again, they will be just as raptured as somebody who doesn’t.
We aren’t saved by the timing of the Rapture, or even by the doctrine of the Rapture. We are saved by trusting in the completed Work of the Cross through the shed Blood of Jesus Christ, shed on our behalf as an atonement for sin. Period.
Additionally, many of my critics say that in teaching a pre-Trib Rapture, I am condemning Christians to lose their faith during the Tribulation.
The reasoning goes like this: Since I teach a pre-Trib Rapture, if it doesn’t happen, the faith of those Christians who shared my view will be so shattered that they will turn away from Christ, accept the Mark of the Beast, and be lost forever.
The obvious flaws in that line of reasoning are immediate and obvious. First, saving faith is in Christ, not the Rapture. Secondly, the Scripture promises the Holy Spirit will indwell me until Jesus returns, so it is impossible for me to be both truly indwelt and to turn away, accept the Mark, or be lost forever.
Finally, a pre-Tribulation Rapture is the only explanation that meets all the difficulties presented by Scripture in regard to any other view.
One of the first objections to the doctrine of the Rapture is that the word ‘Rapture’ doesn’t appear in the Bible. (As many have noted already, neither does the word ‘Bible’ appear in the Bible. What does that mean?)
The word ‘Rapture’ is derived from the Greek word, ‘harpazo,’ which means to ‘seize, carry off by force,’ or to ‘snatch out or away.’ The Greek ‘harpazo’ translates into Latin as ‘rapios,’ and it is from the Latin that we get our word ‘rapture.’
1st Corinthians 15:51-58 describes a translation of New Testament saints that involves an instantaneous change from mortality to immortality. Those believers living at that hour will never see death. Read of it here. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
1st Thessalonians 4:16-17 describes the same event, saying that the dead in Christ ‘rise first’ and then we who are alive and remain will be ‘caught up’ (harpazo, rapios) to be with Him in the clouds. “ For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.” That is very is it not?
The Throne in Heaven
Revelation 4 - After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders (these are the saved). They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. 6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’
who was, and is, and is to come.”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”
So between the ending of Rev. chapter 3 and the start of 4 the saints are on their thrones as the 24 elders in heaven. After the rapture Revelation no longer talks of the church on earth because it is already in heaven.
The Rapture is definitely a Biblical doctrine, unless we want to discard or allegorize away what is clearly a literal teaching. But does it take place before the Tribulation, during the Tribulation, or at its end?
1 Thessalonians 1:9-10, 5:1-9, Romans 5:9, and Revelation 3:10 all promise that Church-Age believers will be ‘saved from the wrath to come.’ The Tribulation Period is expressly called the Day of God’s Wrath.
Today, the Lord is withholding judgment. He sits on the Throne of Grace, but the day approaches when He will sit at the Seat of Judgment. Then, the ‘day of His wrath’ will fall upon all the world (Psalms 110:5, Revelation 6:17, Isaiah 13:6-13).
There are those who believe Scripture promises that the Church won’t be saved OUT of the Great Tribulation, but instead think that the Church will be saved THROUGH it. That view collides with Revelation 13:5-8, which clearly teaches that those on earth during the Tribulation won’t be delivered from wrath, but rather, will be overcome by it. These are the tribulation saints that are saved during tribulation.
“The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people (tribulation saints) and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
This is key - “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” Yes the saints are the ones who come to God after the rapture but must suffer persecution during the great tribulation.
It also fractures Daniel 7:21’s prophecy that says of the antichrist (the little horn), “I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them.”
If the antichrist prevails against the Tribulation saints and overcomes them, as Scripture clearly says, then it cannot simultaneously be that those same saints are delivered ‘through’ the Tribulation. Then the saints before the tribulation in the grave and alive are the ones who are raptured into heaven to receive their thrones as the 24 elders and be given crowns of glory forever.
The Scripture says the restraining ministry of the Holy Spirit will be removed BEFORE the Tribulation. Thus it goes with the saved at the rapture because the spirit is in us. Then there will nothing holding back the wicked to do their will on the earth during the tribulation and as the Bible says things will wax worse and worse.
The Bible says the Holy Spirit is the restrainer of sin (Genesis 6:3, Isaiah 59:19). The Holy Spirit came into the world in His present special dispensation at Pentecost (Acts 2), specifically to empower the Church for the Great Commission.
2nd Thessalonians 2:1-8 makes it clear that His restraining influence is FIRST ‘taken out of the way’ and THEN ‘that Wicked’ is revealed. If the Holy Spirit will not leave or forsake me until Jesus comes, then He cannot be taken out of the world without taking me with Him. To argue otherwise is to amend Jesus’ Promise to mean [instead] the Comforter will never leave or forsake you — except when you need Him the most.
The Church plays no role in the Tribulation Period, which is the time of Jacob’s trouble, the 70th Week of Daniel. It is expressly reserved for two purposes: judgment against a Christ-rejecting world, and to bring about the national redemption of Israel described in Zechariah Chapter 12.
In the Book of the Revelation, chapter 4:1 begins with John hearing the phrase, “Come up hither!” From that moment forward, there is no mention of the Church on earth, although the first three chapters discussed nothing else. The Church is not mentioned again until Chapter nineteen when the Church returns along with the Lord.
Jesus told the Church, “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 14:2-3).
But when Jesus comes at the end of the Tribulation, He comes to set up a Messianic kingdom on earth. If the Tribulation were for Church-Age believers, that promise would not be fulfilled.
Then there is the doctrine of imminency. The Bible says the Second Coming at the end of the Tribulation will be preceded by specific signs — see Matthew 24: 29-35, for example. 29 “Immediately after the distress of those days “‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’ 30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect (tribulation saints) from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. 32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. (The fig tree is Israel, thus the generation that sees Israel established as a nation in 1948, that generation will not pass away until it seems the coming of the son of man).
The Apostle Paul said that we need not worry about the signs of the times because the Church is promised redemption from the ‘day of darkness’ that is to overcome the whole world (2nd Thessalonians 5:1-5). Pretribulational Christians are awaiting Christ, not the antichrist.
It is clear that the pre-Tribulation Rapture is the only explanation that satisfies the requirements of Scripture.
“Wherefore, comfort one another with these words” (1st Thessalonians 4:13-18). 13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. Maranatha…..
Rapture (Part 2):
By Joel Joseph
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
Feb. 9th 2021
I am presenting you with some hope-generating revelation relating to many of the rapture mysteries of the scriptures. Bear in mind that scripture is unchangeable and cast in stone, but prophetic application is often new.
In this edition I will outline where we are on the great prophetic map and calendar. You will also see why a post-tribulation rapture is impossible and only the pre-tribulation rapture fits the fullness of scripture and makes perfect sense.
The rolling in of the end-times is great and powerful news. It is also the pressure to refine you. It is the pressure to shake you loose from worldliness and to correct your doctrine.
This is a most exciting subject, full of the greatest drama of all time, much goodness, as well as severity and shock! Its alive and life changing! (Romans 11:22)
But first:
►The names Biden and Harris are very interesting. In Hebrew, the name “Harris” has the same meaning as the word “destruction”. The name “Biden” in Hebrew is rendered B’Din, which means “judgement.” Coincidence? I think not! And this comes right after the sound of the Trump! By the way the name Kamala, and middle name Devi are both names of Hindu goddesses.
What does the rapture deliver us from?
The glorious, soon-coming rapture of the true born-again church will be before the tribulation begins, perhaps even on the same day. Let’s have a look now at some of the biblically revealed characteristics of the seven-year tribulation period of judgement and destruction.
For your benefit, I have simply outlined some of the many factors and events directly from the Bible:
The seven year period is called the ●tribulation and the Great tribulation. ●It is the wrath of God, the wrath of man, the wrath of Satan and the wrath of nature, running concurrently. ●It is the time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) trouble. ●It is the worst time in history ever or ever shall be. ●It is the end of the “present evil world”. ●It is the final destruction of Babylon the Great (end-time world) and “king of Babylon” (antichrist) and the “wilful king” (Isaiah 14:4-12) ●It is the judgement of the antichrist, the dragon, the beast, the man of sin, and the false prophet, the one who comes to kill, steal and destroy – the father of lies. ●It is the final fall of the papal system and all false religion, seen as the scarlet woman riding the beast. ●It is the time of the revived 10 plagues of Egypt and the deaths of one quarter of the world by disease (2bn people). ●It is the time of the deaths of a further one third of the remaining world (2bn more) ●It is the time of the riders of the four horsemen of hell with their plagues. ●It is the time of the winepress of the wrath of God. ●It is the time of the judgements of God as seen in seven trumpets, seven seals and seven bowls. ●It is the time of huge war and conflict culminating in Armageddon. ●It is the time of fiery bombardments of earth with asteroids. ●And more!
The tribulation is the final week (meaning final 7 years) Daniel 9:27, making it the culmination of Old Testament time and character, which has been on hold during the 2000- year church age. It is very clearly a totally different dispensation. (Ephesians 1:10, Ephesians 3:2, Hebrews 1:1, Colossians 1:25)
At the end of the Millennium (the 1000 yr period with Christ on the earth) the Great White Throne Judgement of God takes place, with its participants all ending in the lake of fire and eternal hell, also called the bottomless pit, and the eternal prison.
As we head at great speed into the tribulation period, many biblical signs come into play. Many of these signs have forerunners that are becoming evident now. But don’t jump the gun. Forerunners are just that. The world is not in the tribulation yet.
Many of the psychological effects are already playing out as we see a mass increase in stress, anxiety, depression and suicides worldwide.
The Bible uses the term “with perplexity” It means: To be confused, without resources, and no resolution. Remember then who is the author of confusion & chaos?
Isaiah 22:5-6 “It is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity, by the Lord God of hosts, in the Valley of Vision, breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains...”
Luke 21:25-27 “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars and on the earth distress of nations with perplexity, the sea and waves roaring, men’s hearts failing them for fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth. For the powers of heaven will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.”
Psalm 146:3 “Do not put your trust in princes (political leaders), nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.”
My friends, the world system is fully corrupt. It is beyond reform. We are to “die to it” while focusing on the Lord. (Colossians 2:20)
Imagine the horror of one day discovering that everything you strove for and esteemed so highly, gave your life’s pursuit for, is cow dung! (Philippians 3:8)
The darkest time is just before the dawn. This dawn will be the new era, dispensation, of the Lord that rolls right into the millennium.
All these things above are the things from which the true believer will escape in rapture.
Where does the rapture deliver us to?
In contrast to all of the above, the rapture delivers believers to heaven in a flash, immediately transforming our bodies into incorruptible, eternal bodies of glory, and into the Holy City.
The Holy City will be eternal. “The increase of His government and peace shall see no end”. (Isaiah 9:7) It will be inhabited by those purified by the work of the cross and their faith (Revelation 12:24) There will be no taint of sin.
Here is brief description of heaven which I’ve compiled from the Bible:
The saints will rule and reign with our Lord seated on His throne for a thousand years. All things will be made new.
The glory of God is the light of the New Jerusalem. Her light was like many precious stones. The foundation had the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, as well as the twelve apostles of the Lamb inscribed on it. (Revelation 21:12-14)
This spectacular, supernatural city is made of pure gold as clear as glass with many adornings of precious jewels. The twelve gates (which shall never be shut) are made of one giant single pearl each. There shall be no night or day, because the glory of the Lord will be there.
There shall by no means enter into it anything that defiles or causes abomination or a lie, but only those written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. (Revelation 21:27)
Revelation 22:12 “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me to give to everyone according to His work.”
At this time we will have new resurrection bodies, which will be able to travel at the speed of thought, to materialise and dematerialise at will. We will know all things. We will know each other and maintain aspects of our character – all purified. We will not marry nor have children.
Those who were saved in the tribulation and go through to the new Millennial earth will do so in natural bodies, but with longevity restored. They will marry and have children.
Do you see the issue?
This means that there is a clear distinction between those who are born-again now and the saved of the tribulation. A post-tribulation rapture would mix everyone into one big hodge podge.
Which churches will not go in the rapture?
We are all God’s creation, but we are not all God’s children. Not everyone, by a long shot, goes to heaven and there are not many different ways to God.
These churches will make up the false prophet’s counterfeitchristianity, new world order / one world religion group on the earth during the tribulation period.
Revelation 3:16 “Because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot I will spew you out of My mouth.”
Revelation 2:21-22 (Church at Thyatira) “I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality and she did not repent. Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.”
Why are the Catholic churches and other similar orthodox churches like the Anglicans, not a threat to Satan’s new world order? Because They will become part of it! Many are already. They will make up the tribulation Babylonian religious system of the false prophet and Antichrist that is now being called Chrislam! (Revelation 17 & 18.)
A most important question is what constitutes salvation? A person who puts his hand up in church and says a quick prayer, is not what determines salvation. That person may or may not be saved. It is regeneration through the new-birth that determines salvation. There will be fruit. It may take some time to manifest, but it will be there.
1 John 5:4 “Those who are born of God will overcome the world.”
There are four types of hearts into which the seed (word) goes. The hard heart is not saved. The apparently soft heart but hard under the surface also looses what he had. The heart full of un-dealt with weeds falls away. Only the soft, good well watered and attended heart produces the goods. (Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23)
Most people want their prophets to say that their world will be okay. We won’t; so they reject the word and stick their heads in the sand and then attack the messengers!
Let’s go back 4000 years to a time 1 week before the flood, and let’s presume you know it’s coming in one week. What would your message be? If it would be a message of happy prosperity, you are a deceived, stupid, blind, fool of enormous proportions.
The big lie is that God loves everyone and automatically forgives everyone and would not dare pour out His wrath on anyone. That god is a false God as much as those who believe it.
Well now, we are in a time very close to the entire end time flood of drama, and it’s all spoken of in about one third of the Bible, and many blind, deceived churches have nothing to say for fear of upsetting their spineless, woesy distress of mind counterfeitChristians.
A majority accepting or rejecting any part of truth is pure meaninglessness.
Truth towers above all else and stands supreme eternally. Rejecting the truth lines you up for lies.
A good method of identifying the truth these days is by looking at who its enemies are!
Today we are in a world of fearful Christians who are too spineless to speak out against rampant sin. Their silence is their evil. The title “Christian” has been so watered down and compromised today, making it no different to any other sin-filled, fallen religion. It is a counterfeit.
Thank God for the remnant church of wonderful, on fire brothers and sisters in the Lord who revel in revival and have become the great awakening.
Trust and hope in the world and its many religions is trusting in a born and bred thief, robber and killer and liar.
The prophetic map and calendar:
The rapture closes the church age of grace and starts the seventieth week (last seven years) of Daniel 9:27. It is inconceivable that two dispensations run concurrently, which would be the case if there were to be post- tribulation rapture. One dispensation always ends as the next one begins – immediately.
That single profound statement totally wrecks post-tribulation doctrine.
There are a number of portions of scripture that can be seen as a calendar of sorts. Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy is one. All things related to Israel’s rebirth as a nation is another.
But the most profound is the prophetic plot of the ages as seen in the seven feasts of the Lord. Each feast is a picture – type of a major milestone in history. We begin with Passover, speaking of the release of the children of Israel from Egyptian captivity and their journey to the Promised Land. That has a perfect prophetic type or fulfilment in the work of the cross – our Passover.
This takes us to the next two feasts foreshadowing the work of the cross which is holiness and resurrection to new life. Then come Pentecost and the end of the Old Testament dispensation and the birth of the church, in a whole new dispensation. The feasts up to this point have been fulfilled prophetically.
Next we come to the feasts with a future fulfilment, Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah being the next. This will find prophetic fulfilment at the end of the church age, and the start of the tribulation.
Without going into all the incredible details of the Feast of Trumpets and meanings and implications, the simple logic of the church age ending and the tribulation beginning can only mean that this is where a pre-tribulation rapture takes place. How could it be anywhere else? That would throw out the consistency and order of the feast-pattern of fulfilment.
The next feast after Trumpets is Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement, which will find prophetic fulfilment at mid-tribulation and the beginning of the most severe wrath of God, culminating in the Second Coming. Finally we get the Feast of Tabernacles, which will find fulfilment in the Lord coming to tabernacle with man in the Millennium.
When you take time to study these feasts and their meanings thoroughly, you will see that there is only one feast where the church age ends, the tribulation begins and therefore the rapture takes place. It does not fit in anywhere else without messing up many things.
There are a number of reputable calculations of when the crucifixion took place. They vary by just a few years. The years 28AD to 33AD are the most widely accepted.
If it is 28AD and we add 2000 years to that for the church age that brings us to 2028. 1948 was the year of Israel’s birth as a nation. If we add 80 to that for the Psalm 90:10 time limit of a generation (and the Lord said this generation seeing Israel become a nation once again would not all pass away until it saw the coming of the son of man), we come to 2028 as well.
Going back seven years from 2028 for the tribulation period, brings us to 2021 for the rapture.
Be careful though! I put this to you simply because it is very interesting. I’m not suggesting that this is the final authority! What is additionally interesting is many of the other views out there are very close to each other. So either way, we are close. Remembering also it also says in scripture the Lord can tarry, meaning delay for a period, for everything comes in God’s good time not ours.
Finally
Philippians 2:15 “Be blameless and harmless children of God, without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.”
Psalm 37:6 “He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light and your justice (vindication) as the noonday.”
1 Corinthians 3:11 “For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Yeshua the Messiah.”
My fine friends, hang in there, and continue to stand strong in these challenging times. Look up – your redemption draws nigh!
Murder most foul!

The anointing is on the truth and not presumption, or the opinions of man.
It’s important, because people set their life’s source and course based on their perception of truth and the authority behind it.
People’s lives depend on much of what ministers say or write. There is a massive rise in stress, anxiety and suicides worldwide.
In many respects we are their final hope. But we can’t be untrue to our Lord and present a false hope and show hope for the doomed world system, because that will backfire.
Anyone contemplating suicide, or if you know of someone in that position, please get them to read the short essay I wrote on “Suicide” under the “Teachings” tab at the top of this website.
The USA has been a strong and steady nation under God. In a Biden flash it has become dispensable and indispensable to the world’s new world order. In history, some 200-odd empires have fallen after tripping over God’s foot.
Fast-tracking abortion:
The Biden freak show of the empowered deranged, are charging ahead to their soon coming fate, and they can’t see it! Consider some of the recent utterances of insanity from Pelosi and the outrageous promotion of all sorts of biblically defined immorality by this band of the deceived.
Biden and his blinded buffoons have streamlined the way for abortion clinics to go into high gear worldwide. Abortion is a main, key tag and characteristic of this administration of evil.
I’m not interested in all the opinions and debates on the subject. I have one Judge on the subject and that is the conscience of the still small voice of God in my heart saying abortion is murder.
But here are some verses for those who want the authority of the word of God as well:
abortion copper scroll3
Psalm 139:13-16 (Anti-abortion) “You have formed my inward parts; you have covered me in my mother’s womb, I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made...My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret and skilfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance being yet unformed and in Your book they were all written, the days fashioned for me when as yet there were none of them.”
Exodus 21:22-23 (Anti-abortion) “If men fight and hurt a woman with child so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no lasting harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly...and he shall pay the price as the judge determines. But if any lasting harm follows, then it shall be life for life...”
Jeremiah 1:5 (Life begins at conception) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you; and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
Luke 1:41 (Life begins at conception) “It happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Note in the verse above (Exodus) that capital punishment – the death penalty, applies to those performing abortions! I’m not suggesting that should be a New Testament practice, but it doesn’t change the fact that God defines abortion as murder!
Now, under the doomed Biden administration, we have the institutionalising of mass murder of the unborn and numerous other ungodly things.
Do you think there will be consequences? Yes there already are and greater judgment is coming soon. Of course you can add to the list, the other big-ticket items – homosexuality and the rights of the Palestinians above God’s rights in Israel, as well as the arming of Israel’s arch enemy - Iran.
The liberal left must rise to challenge God on every front, so that they can be the subject of God’s prophesied wrath and destruction, which is coming very soon to the world stage.
Tragically for many they are simply confused. It is Satan who is the god of confusion!
Don’t be fooled by the aura, an aroma of awe-inspiring power of the liberal left. It is a great, deadly deception. You don’t want to find that out when it’s too late.
►The mega masses without God produce mass morality, which is wicked and evil to the core. The greatest danger of a godless world is that it is a conscience-less world.
Much of the church blinded by the god of the world, and their own self-life, and pride, have been unable to see the devil lurking in the background of the liberal left. Many pastors are working hand in hand with the devil to bring the current situation about.
Thankfully there are a great many who stand fully with our Lord and His word!
The end-time train is rumbling and rolling, spitting swirling smoke from its fiery engine. The conductor has opened the doors for all those with a ticket to the end of the line! Like a huge stray, noisy, fire-billowing monster, this train of doom is surging towards its regretful, tear-filled end.
Don’t put your trust in mass murderers. Don’t put your trust in thieves and liars, you will regret it.
There is no hope for this present world system. Don’t put your hope and trust in the world! But there is great eternal hope and victory for the child of the living God, made alive by His eternal grace to newness of life.
Proverbs 13:12 “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.”
The word “Deferred” above, (Strong’s H4900) also could be translated as “proceed or march towards.” In other words - don’t march off towards that which is doomed.
Psalm 103:2 “Bless the Lord, O my soul and forget not (remember) all His benefits.
Are you having a tough time? Remember all the benefits the Lord has bestowed on you! Make a list of them. Write them down and pray with thanksgiving for them all. You will find that the “things of the world will grow strangely dim”!
One day everyone will see clearly, with no confusion and through no veil at all.
Isaiah 25:7-8 Amp “He will destroy on this mountain the covering of the face that is cast over the head of all people and the veil of profound wretchedness that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory and abolish death forever and wipe away all tears.”
This glorious verse above sees its conclusion in the soon-coming Millennium, but we can extrapolate many of these principles now as we set our sights on things to come and the glorious future that lies ahead for those who endure and pay the price now.
Shalom...Joel
Recreating Nephilim?
by Tom Horn Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
A Light at the End of the Lucifer Effect? ( the myriad reasons why—we are all susceptible to the lure of “the dark side)
But let me conclude with perhaps a good bit of news. Dr. Chuck Missler, now deceased, was a good friend of mine—a confidant and role model to me and tens of thousands of others worldwide, who told me one day that something very good could come out of the lead-up to that period in history when true believers will be thoroughly persecuted. In fact Dr. Missler described to me that day how so many real believers have already started their exodus from institutional counterfeit Christianity and are reemerging in home groups, just as the true church began in the book of Acts. He went on to describe vibrant Christianity already growing outside the walls of Western religious centers, which he saw as offering hope that the true body of Christ always has and will survive and even triumph during times of persecution. Of course, he was right, and the seventh chapter of the book of Revelation is dedicated to describing a great number of people redeemed during the coming war between religionists and saints. It speaks of:
…a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues.…
who came out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.…
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Rev. 7: 9–17)
The apostle Peter likewise recorded in the book of Acts that:
It shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams….
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Acts 2:17–18, 21, emphasis added)
Do these verses imply, as some believe, that the increase in persecution of true believers around the world today may simply presage an imminent, latter-day awakening…a revival in the purest sense of the word? It is predicted to happen. I sure hope so. Pray so. But one thing I’m certain of: Growing animosity against the children of God is a real and present danger that is only going to worsen in the days ahead.
In fact, Terry James and I recently released our most important and related work ever—Antichrist and the Final Solution, which lays out how all of this is coming very soon and how the dominoes will soon begin to fall.
Between now and that climactic encounter when the supernatural battle spoken of in the Bible’s books of prophecy begins in earnest, we can expect the divide between counterfeit religion and authentic Christianity to deepen. It is hard for us to imagine that in places like the United States true believers could someday be burned alive in churches, but it is happening in Nigeria now. It is hard for us to perceive that some might be beheaded, but this is a reality in Syria today. We can hardly fathom good people being crucified alive, but Pakistani Christians have been living with this nightmare now. And in the United States, in that city on a hill once listed among the safest locations on earth for Christians, a tide of anti-Christ sentiment has in only the last few years pushed this country into a category recently reserved for only those governments that restrict and criminalize expressions of real Christianity.
You can see the writing on the wall intensifying. As Jesus said “these are only the beginning of sorrows.”
Unlike my grandfather’s America, if a US preacher today says on television that Jesus is the only way to heaven, he is derided by media and ignored by megachurches, yet it is right there in scripture! If a Christian speaks negatively about Islamism, he is branded on talk shows as “homophobic” or “Islamaphobic.”
And astonishingly, a recent Pew Research Center poll shows 75% of evangelical Christians agree that houses of worship should be subject to government restrictions on gathering to worship at this time. How many more years will I be able to present an article like this before it is banned? One thing is sure: The tide against New Testament faith is bound to get worse, especially as we near that period called the Great Tribulation. I trust you will carefully consider what I have said and perhaps use these facts to draw your own line in the sand for the coming war on true Christianity. Maranatha…………..
THE MESSENGER—PART 33: Converging Technologies for Improving Human Performance… OR RECREATING NEPHILIM?
February 2, 2021 by Tom Horn
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
Director Mihail Roco, in the US government report, Converging Technologies for Improving Human Performance, wrote of how what is coming sounds eerily similar to the Bible’s description of giving life to the image of the beast.
Humanity would become like a single, distributed and interconnected “brain” based on new core pathways in society. A networked society of billions of human beings could be as complex compared to an individual being as a human being is to a single nerve cell. From local groups of linked enhanced individuals to a global collective intelligence, key new capacities would arise from relationships arising from NBIC technologies. Far from unnatural, such a collective social system may be compared to a larger form of biological organism. We envision the bond of humanity driven by an interconnected virtual brain of the Earth’s communities searching for intellectual comprehension and conquest of nature.”
The Genetic Alteration of Humans
Another tech driven issue connected to religious types that will comprise the “soulless” armies of the Beast involves a more exotic concept (albeit one that I believe is not without historical precedence) concerning the near-future genetic alteration of humans.
This is a spooky thought, really, but one that is commanding more and more consideration from thoughtful prophecy expositors who suspect that the reason those last-days destroyers of born-again believers will act with such inhumanity is that they may be, well, not altogether human any longer.
Because I’ve taken considerable time in some of my books like Forbidden Gates and The Milieu to outline the historical activity of ancient Watchers (fallen angels) and their genetic creation known as Nephilim (as well as the resemblance of their activity with modern transhumanist goals involving genetic modification of species), I will not repeat that information here. But what I will mention is that modern scientists increasingly believe genetics play a greater role in human and animal behavior than was previously believed, and that this may include a kind of “evil genetic combination” that leads to lower inhibitions involving criminal activity and murder.
Preview of this book showing contents: ( While Forbidden Gates includes fresh insights for traditional, tried and true methods of overcoming darkness, it also unveils for the first time how breakthrough advances in science, technology, and philosophy—including cybernetics, bio-engineering, nanotechnology, machine intelligence, synthetic biology, and transhumanism—will combine to create mind-boggling game-changes to everything you have ever known about spiritual warfare. How so?
In recent years, astonishing technological developments have pushed the frontiers of humanity toward far-reaching morphological transformation that promises in the very near future to redefine what it means to be human. An international, intellectual and fast-growing cultural movement known as transhumanism intends the use of genetics, robotics, artificial intelligence and nanotechnology (GRIN technologies) as tools that will radically redesign our minds, our memories, our physiology, our offspring, and even perhaps, as Joel Garreau in his bestselling book Radical Evolution claims, our very souls.
The technological, cultural, and metaphysical shift now under way unapologetically forecasts a future dominated by this new species of unrecognizably superior humans, and applications under study now to make this dream reality are being funded by thousands of government and private research facilities around the world. As the reader will learn, this includes among other things rewriting human DNA and combining men with beasts, a fact that some university studies and transhumanists believe will not only alter our bodies and souls but could ultimately open a door to contact with unseen intelligence.)
As a result, new modes of perception between things visible and invisible are expected to challenge the Church in ways that are historically and theologically unprecedented. Without comprehending what is quickly approaching in related disciplines of research and development, vast numbers of believers could be paralyzed by the most fantastic—and most far reaching—supernatural implications. The destiny of each individual—as well as the future of their family—will depend on their knowledge of the new paradigm and their preparedness to face it head on.
In an article for Florida State University actually titled “The Evil Gene,” (here is an excerpt from the article: Researchers studied a large number of males from birth to adulthood, and found such a genetic predisposition, e-mails Greenspan. A couple of studies showed a genetic variant in a particular enzyme (monoamine oxidase-A aka MAOA) had a significant impact on whether or not the man developed antisocial problems. A male with low levels of the enzyme was more likely to veer toward adult violence, if someone had severely abused him as a child. High levels gave him protection against ending up in trouble even if he had been mistreated earlier.)
Frank Stephenson considers research from his university as well as the University of Connecticut, where scientists are analyzing the DNA of spree killers. The first line in Stephenson’s paper suggests what the professors are looking for when it asks: “Could a monster be swimming in the human gene pool?” The good researcher approaches his study from a Darwinian foundation, nevertheless stating: In ascending the evolutionary ladder, humans obviously failed to inherit from their hairy forebears inhibitions against using lethal force against members of their own species. The bizarre “ghoul factor” of sadistic psychopaths like [Ted] Bundy aside, humans’ historic willingness to slaughter each other wholesale in war and genocide offers compelling evidence to some scientists that in the genome of some humans lies a fully armed biochemical code for the gamut of aggression, from kicking the dog to killing the wife.
The Biochemical Code
In tandem with Stephenson’s alternate worldview speculation about an evil “biochemical code,” recent years have produced considerable advances in DNA research, with one of the more popular new fields called behavioral epigenetics. This is the “darling of genetic studies,” my biologist friend Sharon Gilbert tells me. It seeks to examine and understand the role that genetics play in shaping animal and human behavior, cognition, personality, and mental health. Epigenetics may occur during life or begin in the womb when chemical changes brought on by the mother’s activity affect the genetics—and thus perhaps the future behavior—of the child. That these modifications may become heritable and passed from one generation to the next has some scientists wondering if “evil genetics” or toxic combinations of specific genes may be linked to aggression and antisocial behavior in the succeeding generations of some families. If so, this raises an intriguing question I will not develop here having to do with bloodlines and a second question that I will pose regarding the potential for a blueprint or “special” genetic combination that could exist in which individuals can be programmed or reprogrammed to act in defiance of normal human consciousness (having a soul).
This appears to have been the estate of those Nephilim I already mentioned, which are depicted in ancient records as bloodthirsty, violent enemies of God’s people who never once had a conflict of consciousness or sought forgiveness for their brutality. Genetically engineered with a specific cellular combination by powerful fallen angels (whom the Bible calls Watchers and the Sumerians called “flying geniuses”), these remarkable living constructs, not made in the image of God, were specifically designed for demonic inhabitation.
But did the Nephilim also represent a repeatable, dark, molecular model?
NOW AVAILABLE… UNTIL 2025!
Given that Jesus said in Matt. 24:37 that the end-times would witness a return to the activity that happened when Nephilim first walked the earth, and today for the first time since those days men have intentionally set out to genetically modify plants, animals, and humans, is it possible that we have entered a reprise of the “days of Noah” in which a genetic hazard could be unleashed resulting in a global pandemic, a Nephilim-virus!?
Modifying Epigenetics
There are numerous scenarios—all based on real science—that envision an “event” that could, in effect, modify epigenetics worldwide and thus hypothetically the mind and makeup of all but those who would be protected by God. In theory, this might suddenly and effectively diminish the ability of the sufferers to feel empathy toward others. Now, if such a concept has you thinking that I’ve been watching too many zombie flicks, I am reminded of the Hollywood film I Am Legend starring Will Smith. That movie opened with a scientist announcing the cure to cancer using a genetically engineered “chimeric” vaccine that blended animal and human genetics. If you’ve seen the film, you know the “cure” results in a human form of rabies that infects and takes over the brains of people, quickly turning them into zombie-like monsters who wipe out most life on earth—an epidemiological possibility, given the scenario.
Jonathan D. Dinman, PhD, professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics at the University of Maryland, says such a zombie virus “almost exists now” and could be engineered to fully occur using the very element from Will Smith’s epic—rabies.
“Infection is nearly 100 percent lethal, i.e. it turns you into the walking dead (for a while at least),” he says, “and it causes you to change your behavior by reprogramming you to bite other people to spread the infection.”
Rabies as it is known today would only need to be slightly mutated, something that could be engineered or occur naturally, to facilitate an end-times army of soulless killers, and it is actually “the most likely to mutate into something that would be similar to a ‘zombie virus,’” says Dr. Samantha Price, a Health and Care Professions Council-registered biomedical scientist and research information coordinator for the UK Motor Neurone Disease Association.
In addition to a zombie/Nephilim virus scenario, top-level policy advisors to the United States intelligence and military communities—including the JASONs (the celebrated scientists on the Pentagon’s most prestigious scientific advisory panel)—have warned in recent years that human enhancement involving genetic alteration, either by design, accident, or bioweapon, represents a challenging if not existential risk.
In a report to the Department of Defense titled “The $100 Genome: Implications for the DoD,” the JASONs convey that rapid advances in DNA sequencing and related technologies are not only ushering in an era of precipitous genomics information and sciences, but a time when both “genotypes” and “phenotypes” could experience unpredictable deviations. An organism’s genotype is the set of genes or the “genetic blueprint” it receives from its parents, while its phenotype involves the observable characteristics—the way it looks, walks, talks, and behaves. Thus what the policy advisors to ranking officials in Washington are warning is that, as we modify nature’s genetic balance (including animals and humans), we should expect they will manifest revisions in their phenotypic expressions as well. They may begin walking differently, thinking differently, and behaving in ways no longer atypical of known creation.
That such unprecedented realities may well emerge has already been illustrated in animal-to-animal experiments, including those conducted by Evan Balaban at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, where sections of brain from embryonic quails were transplanted into the brains of chickens, and the resultant chickens exhibited head bobs and vocal trills unique to quail. The implication from this field of study alone proves that complex behavior patterns can be transferred from one species to another, strongly suggesting that genetically altered humans will likely bear unintended behavior and appetite disorders that could literally produce modern “Nephilim” traits. In fact, some in government and science believe one-on-one, interpersonal malevolence by such altered humans might ultimately lead to a global Lucifer Effect and swarm violence. The seriousness of this is significant enough that a House Foreign Affairs (HFA) committee chaired by California Democrat Brad Sherman, best known for his expertise on the spread of nuclear weapons and terrorism, studied the implications of genetic modification and human-transforming technologies related to future terrorism. What the HFA found caused Congressional Quarterly columnist Mark Stencel to write in his article, “Futurist: Genes Without Borders,” that the conference “sounded more like a Hollywood pitch for a sci-fi thriller than a sober discussion of scientific reality…with talk of biotech’s potential for creating supersoldiers, superintelligence, and superanimals [that could become] agents of unprecedented lethal force.” George Annas, Lori Andrews, and Rosario Isasi were even more apocalyptic in their peer-reviewed American Journal of Law and Medicine article, “Protecting the Endangered Human: Toward an International Treaty Prohibiting Cloning and Inheritable Alterations,” when they concluded: “The new species, or ‘posthuman,’ will likely view the old ‘normal’ humans as inferior, even savages, and fit for slavery or slaughter…. It is ultimately this predictable potential for genocide that makes species-altering experiments potential weapons of mass destruction, and makes the unaccountable genetic engineer a potential bioterrorist.”
Armies of Antichrist?
Do these situations sound to anybody besides me like formulae for the coming armies of Antichrist? At a minimum they are highly suggestive that genetic alterations could play a role in the coming war against true believers.
The Chinese Aided In the Theft of the Myanmar Election the Same as the US Election- The Myanmar's Military Has Moved to Stop the CHICOMS - By Dave Hodges - Researched by Pastor Boyd
The civil-military tension in Myanmar had been increasing since the landslide victory of the National League for Democracy led by Ms. Suu Kyi over reports of electoral fraud. Myanmar’s newly elected Parliament was expected to meet on Monday but the military junta moved in the early hours and declared the state of emergency. Kyi is not assuming power and is under arrest as a result of this coup.
The NLD rule in Myanmar coincided with the military campaign against the Rohingya refugees of the Rakhine province which led to the displacement of at least one million ethnic Rohingya citizens of Myanmar who have taken refuge in Bangladesh and other countries. It is interesting to note that 23% of the country is Chinese. And these Chinese do not like the ethnic Rohingya citizens. How convenient!
China, which uses Myanmar as a vital part of its Belt and Road Initiative, called on all parties to “resolve their differences under the constitutional and legal framework to protect political and social stability”. However, Chinese interests are not benign. Behind the scenes, the CSS has learned that the Chinese are accused of helping to rig the results of this election. These allegations parallel what tens of millions of Americans are saying about the American Presidential election in which Dominion voting machines, with Chinese participation, flipped votes in the American election. The Chinese are now accused of being involved in several fraudulent elections around the world.
To the Chinese, Trump had to go because he so outmaneuvered the CHICOMS and was blocking Chinese attempts at military expansion. Why is this significant? China has been trying to break out of it box, imposed by Trump for sometime. The only route to expansion has been the South China Sea and China has made few inroads as they are obviously pursuing a path military conquest for natural resources in Asia, similar to what Japan did in the pre-World War II.
The newly elected government was accused of manipulating voter lists and other voter irregularities in this November election. Behind the scenes sources are saying that the new regime, just like Biden was selected because they had promised to allow China free access through Myanmar to the open waters of off its coast. This would provide the Chinese Navy with flanking capabilities to American naval forces in the South China Sea.
The Myanmar military has had enough of the CHICOM Belt and Road Initiative. The resulting indebtedness has resulted in extreme indebtedness and if the indebtedness was accompanied by CHICOM soldiers rampaging through Myanmar to get to the coast, combined with the Belt and Road indebtedness, threatened to turn the country into a Chinese colony. And if a regional or world war were to break out, Myanmar would become a prime target. Further, the Chinese military would be motivated to pursue a purge against the military opposition leadership of the country.
As one would expect, there will be western intervention. However, and as one would expect, the intervention will not be coming from the Americans and that would only make sense since the US already has a presence in the area. Yet, it is the Brits that are moving to intervene. According to the BBC, the HMS Queen Elizabeth carrier has been dispatched to the area through the Suez Canal.
Why the Brits and not the Americans? Who do many Americans accuse of interfering in our election? Who is Joe Biden being accused of supporting and is being blackmailed by this country. The answers to all of these questions is China. And isn’t it interesting that the military remains in charge in DC. For the exact same reasons that the military of Myanmar will not allow the Chinese to gain a foothold (ie the execution of its top military leadership in the allowed occupation by China of Myanmar by the newly elected, Chinese-friendly government. Our military knows that Biden is complicit with China. This is why the US military has not completed the transition of civilian authority over the military from Trump to Biden. The military of the US, the same as the military of the Myanmar knows that the newly selected leadership is complicit and is in bed with the Chinese. Back to the British question. Why the flagship of the British Navy. Because the US military cannot act because this would expose the fact that Biden is not in charge. The CSS believes that the US military, like the Myanmar military fear a Chinese takeover and is preparing to act against Biden. The parallels between Myanmar and the United States is frightening.
Meanwhile, if China gains access to move freely through Myanmar, just as they presently do in Canada, our naval forces in the region are in extreme danger.
The Messenger: It's Headed Toward Earth! It Cannot Be Stopped! And It's Carrying the Secret of America's, the World's, and Your Tomorrow!
By Tom Horn
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
Behold, I show you a mystery!
What do the Jewish Feasts, prophetic Seals and Bowls from the book of Revelation, and an Earth-bound asteroid have in common? This is the question on the lips of every individual who sees the potential correlation between the impending coming of Christ and the imminent approach of the asteroid Apophis.
Since the dawn of time, God has had a plan for all humanity’s salvation, and through His time here on Earth, Jesus fulfilled his portion of that plan by purchasing our Redemption. He confirmed this through His revolutionizing of the Old Testament tradition. He spelled it out, hidden in plain sight, for those who observed the Jewish Feasts. He left a promise upon His departure, that He would be back to complete and confirm the final phases of His plan through the final prophetic Jewish Feasts.
Now something cataclysmic this way comes
When Jesus spoke of His return, He warned that the coming of the age would be filled with war, pestilence, famine, and even catastrophic cosmic events which would permanently damage the Earth as we know it. We are warned in Revelation about the personified star,
Wormwood, which would collide with our planet during the tribulation, bringing poison to our waters and death to one-third of humanity. With such looming threats above as the asteroid Apophis and other Near-Earth Objects, could we be approaching the era in which these prophecies are finally about to be realized? More importantly, does a hidden message connecting Apophis point to an imminent, mysterious end-times countdown?
In the Messenger ou Will Learn:
Why asteroids were seen by the ancients as the Messengers of God
The mysterious connection between Apophis and biblical prophecy
How Apophis is connected with demonic entities prophesied to make war with God
How forthcoming cosmic events could usher in the Great Tribulation period
What the Jewish Feasts decreed in the Old Testament have to do with the timing of the Rapture and end-times events
The correlation between ancient Jewish teaching, Founding Church Fathers, and Biblical Chronology which place the end of the world in the immediate future
How Jesus revealed Himself to mankind through the Feasts, and How He will complete this work at His return
Why it is vital that the Church resume the teaching of prophetic subject matter in a day that the truth is sparse and the lost are seeking for it
Blood On the Altar
By Tom Horn - Research by Pastor Boyd
As most are aware, there have been additional developments during the Covid-19 outbreak, and some of these happenings have a prophetic feel to them including what looks like government overreach toward totalitarian suppression of personal freedom as well as hints we could soon face a mandatory vaccine. As many of you know, I have for over a decade in books, TV appearances, and other conference presentations considered whether what I’ve called a “Trigger Event” might be a widespread pandemic that could be used by Antichrist to implement the Mark of the Beast via a smart vaccine. Time will tell.
But another development in recent American history is also prophetic I believe, and it involves the kind of chaos in the streets we see today (which is also a sign of the end times) combined with growing hostility toward people of faith. In fact, several prominent writers have recently penned op-eds in which they argue how the Soros-Obama anarchists burning down our major cities will soon turn their outrage from toppling statues including Christian ones and setting churches on fire to their real endgame: the ‘canceling’ of Christianity itself.
Now here is what I want you to consider and the subject matter I want to discuss. It involves what most if not all of these analysts have failed to mention and is one of the greatest threats that will ever be raised against the authentic body of Christ—and that is Religious Christians themselves.
Most students of prophecy understand a time is coming in the tribulation wherein true believers will be “beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and….[for] not worship[ing] the beast, neither his image, neither…[receiving] his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands” (Rev. 20:4).
Yet, when discussing this end-times scenario, and in particular the subject of rigorous persecution, often overlooked is the role that leftist or liberal “Christians” are being shaped today to play against the true body of Christ. This would seem beyond credulity if it were not for what the inspired texts themselves convey. Jesus predicted a time when “whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service” (John 16:2), and in Matthew 24, He told His disciples:
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you; and ye shall be hated of all [groups of people] for my name’s sake.
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall grow cold. (Matthew 24:9–12)
Elsewhere in the Bible is described this coming era of Great Tribulation, as when the Antichrist will have power “to make war with the saints, and to overcome them” (Rev. 13:7; see also Dan. 7:21). Immediately following those verses, there is description of a second beast with “two horns like a lamb” who speaks “like a dragon” (Rev. 13:11). Most evangelical scholars identify this second “beast” as the leader of the end-times religious institution who will be under Satan’s control. The phrase “like a lamb” indicates he will pretend to represent the Lamb of God and the Christian church, while the expression “speaks like a dragon” identifies the devilish source of his authority and power. This final, global, super-church leader will be a murderer not unlike the Antichrist, and will cause “that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed” (Rev. 13:15).
Thus, the book of Revelation outlines how the political figure of Antichrist derives ultranational dominance from the world’s religious faithful through the influence of an ecclesiastical leader (also called the False Prophet) who will not hesitate to swim in the blood of the genuine saints of God.
In the days between now and when these men of sin are identified, this reality—that latter-day churchgoers will soon believe they are serving the kingdom of God by participating in or approving the death of conservative Christians—is not a concept lost on all contemporary churchmen. There are those who see things taking shape even now for a war that will eventually pit religious “Christians” against the real members of the true body of Christ. In fact, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, stated early in 2014 that “modern Christians” will soon be “‘called’ to suffer and even die for the faith” in a new era “of martyrdom.” But a clarifying document that was not supposed to be made public and which was authored by a senior advisor to Welby’s predecessor details how such a time of great persecution is coming because true believers will, according to the letter, be driven underground by liberal Christians and will become a dissident association comparable to resistance movements during World War II. Dr. J. Vernon McGee, one of America’s most beloved Bible teachers of the past century, taught the same and clarified that these true biblical believers would ultimately be driven “underground” by none other than latter-day denominational churches.
Another of the twentieth century’s most perceptive writers was pastor and author A. W. Tozer (who was not usually given to prognostication), who likewise wrote:
Let me go out on a limb a little bit and prophesy. I see the time coming when all the holy men whose eyes have been opened by the Holy Spirit will desert worldly Evangelicalism, one by one. The house [institutional Christianity] will be left desolate and there will not be a man of God, a man in whom the Holy Spirit dwells, left among them.
These Holy-Spirit-devoid church attenders will soon join other “religious types” to constitute Antichrist’s apostate religious and political order (connected to “Mystery Babylon” in Revelation 17) and, as unfathomable as it may sound, will seek to formulate perhaps the most egregious rank among the Man of Sin’s Gestapo members in their appetite for destroying latter-day, truly born-again believers.
Impossible, some might say? Tell that to the trainloads of Jews who vanished beneath the brutality of Nazi Germany members who maintained their Protestant faith or to the hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children who have died since the days of Christ’s crucifixion and the martyrdom of His disciples at the hands of institutional church authorities and holy temple leaders. The European wars of religion (sixteenth and seventeenth centuries) are further examples of such mayhem by very religious people, as could also be considered the Muslim conquests (seventh to nineteenth centuries), the Crusades (eleventh to thirteenth centuries), the Spanish Reconquista (eighth to fifteenth centuries), the Ottoman wars in Europe (fifteenth to nineteenth centuries), and the Inquisition of the Roman Catholic Church (twelfth to fourteenth centuries).
But now, what was old is new again, and as a militant spirit of evil pushes through the veil toward a final supernatural conflict (in which blood will flow to the horses’ bridles), violent clashes over matters of faith are once more boiling around the globe. Consequently, brutality wrought by the final Antichrist and his end-time Christian assassins will soon make the combined depravities of the previous wars I just mentioned look like child’s play. When he raises his fist, “speaking great things…in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven” (Rev. 13:5–6), at his right hand will stand those devoted house-of-worship attendees who are vividly described in the final book of the Bible as “drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus” (Rev. 17:6) as they dance and sing “in the spirit” of their mega-church “habitation of demons, and the hold of every foul spirit” (Rev. 18:2).

Here are nine reasons I see where the lord has given me discernment to pass on to you why the rapture comes before the tribulation. Please read and know it is coming soon.
9 Reasons the Rapture Will Come Before the Tribulation
I will tell you now that I have not changed my mind on the timing of the rapture at all. I will give you 9 irrefutable reasons why I believe the rapture comes before the seven year Tribulation.
1. The rapture is imminent, it could happen at any moment, it means God has not told us the day or hour of his return for his bride. The Bible states the rapture is a day that no man can know while Christ’s second coming on the Mt. of Olives is a day foretold to the very day! Revelation 12:6 specifies the coming of Christ is 1,260 days after the breaking of the peace treaty that the anti-Christ makes with Israel.
The 1,260 days begin when the Antichrist enters the temple and declares himself to be Christ. (Matthew 24:15-21, 2 Thessalonians 2:4). This event will take place at the middle of the seven year tribulation (Daniel 9:27). It is called the abomination of desolation.
2. The rapture is the “blessed hope.” Titus 2:13 “Looking for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the Great God and Savior Jesus Christ.”
What is blessed is that Christ comes and delivers us from the Tribulation to come upon the world. Praise God he will “catch his bride away” BEFORE the trouble starts.
3. The Lord has not appointed his Church or bride to wrath. The tribulation is the wrath of God upon this world as well as God dealing with Israel. God has not appointed the saved, his bride, to wrath. (1 Thessalonians 5:9) “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:1) “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Jesus Christ, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”
(John 5:24) “Verily, verily I say unto you, he that heareth my word and believes on him that sent me, hath everlasting life and shall NOT come into condemnation (wrath); but is passed from death unto life.
(Revelation 4:1) “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come on all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”
4. There is no mention of the Church (the bride) after Revelation Chapter 4. The seven Churches are mentioned in Revelation Chapters 2 & 3. The rapture takes place followed by the seven years of the tribulation.
(Revelation 4:1) “After this I looked and behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as if it were a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither and I will shew these things which must be hereafter.”
The reason the Church is not mentioned again until the end of Revelation is because all believers have been taken up into heaven at the rapture! The true Church is gone!
5. The removal of the Restrainer, the Holy Spirit of God, who indwells all believers is gone from the earth along with the Church. The Antichrist comes on the scene as the first horseman at the BEGINNING of the seven year tribulation after the true Church is gone.
6. The Old Testament types of the rapture or catching away:
A. Enoch, who walked with God, was removed from God’s wrath BEFORE the floods came in Noah’s day.
B. Lot was delivered from Sodom BEFORE the fire fell.
C. Noah was lifted up above the floodwaters on the ark.
7. Irrefutable proof is the 24 Elders in the book of revelation, from Rev. 4:4 to 19:4, they are mentioned 12 times. These Elders represent all believers in heaven after the rapture. Just look at the characteristics of the Elders and it is plain to see: The crowns they cast at the lord’s feet, their praise of God, their clothing, etc. As soon as the trumpet sounds in Chapter 4:1 of Rev., all believers are assembled in heaven represented by the 24 Elders.
8. Irrefutable proof is the contrast between the rapture of the true Church and the second coming of Christ. The rapture is: the “coming for us” (John 14:1-4 + 1 Thess. 4:14-17) while the 2nd coming is “coming with us” (Rev. 19:14 + Jude 1:14). The rapture is “as a thief in the night” (1 Thess. 5:2), the 2nd coming is “every eye shall see him” (Rev. 1:7), The rapture is “Christ meets us in the clouds” (1 Thess. 4: 16-17), the 2nd coming is, “he is coming on a white horse,” (Rev. 19:11). The rapture is “imminent” (1 Thess.5:4-6 – Luke 12:40), the 2nd coming is “at end of 7 years” (2 Thess. 2:3-8).
9. The true Church cannot be overcome by Satan, but the tribulation saints shall be.
Matthew 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church: and the gates of hell shall NOT prevail against it.”
Rev. 13:7 “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him (Satan) over all kindreds, tongues and nations.”
The next great event on God’s prophetic calendar is the rapture.
This is how it will go down from where we are now:
*Placement of the true Church in Revelation
*Removal of restraining power (Holy Spirit)
*Exempt from God’s wrath
*Twenty four Elders in heaven
*Rapture contrasted with the 2nd coming
*The imminent return of Christ
*The blessed hope

The Rapture

Introduction:
This edition is an important review of the sixty odd editions I’ve written dealing with the rapture. Because this is an always advancing story, the material here has a new relevant slant to it. I am including some new material as well. This may have to be done in two editions.
God uses His ancient word to bring us present day truth. It is the Spirit of God that enlivens His word making it always relevant.
This is the most exciting subject imaginable. It is earth shattering and will cause great upheavals, changes and blessing for many.
The word “rapture” is in the Bible. The Latin, Bible-word, “Rapere” means rapture, to snatch away and be transported from one place to another.
The word “Harpazo” (the Greek NT word for rapture) means “To seize, snatch or carry off by force out and away from.”
Some other original words used in the Bible to describe the rapture are: “epairo”, “anabaino”, “analambano”.
What I really love about the rapture is that it’s just so insane! So much so that all unbelievers think rapture believers are as mad as Noah’s ark believers. Yeeahooo, welcome to the madman’s club!
Stop and think of this: You will go in one of two raptures! You will be forcibly taken by God in the rapture to heaven, or forcibly raptured from the earth by God to hell. (Read on it will surprise you!)
The rapture will be totally exclusive, and far fewer than most people think, will go. The rapture is totally politically incorrect and will be a giant slap in the face for the politically correct. The rapture is only for those who are righteous by new birth.
Revelation 21:27 (New Jerusalem) “There shall by no means enter it, anything that defiles or causes abomination or lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.”
1 Corinthians 6:9 “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God...”
When will the rapture occur?
The rapture will NOT occur at any, unknown time as most say. Yet the “no one knows” brigade keep looking for the rapture under every molehill, behind every door and in every part of the sky! – What a contradiction! Then when cornered, they say, “We’re just looking for the signs.” This they say after saying it is a “sign-less event!”
No wonder so many people get turned off by anything to do with the rapture.
The rapture is the end of the church dispensation of grace. It concludes the church age and immediately begins the dispensation called the tribulation, which is the final seven years of Old Covenant time.
(Again, I warn against the teachers that place a long gap of anything up to 10-years between the rapture and the tribulation start. They talk rubbish. Besides, there is not one verse to back it.)
The coming of the tribulation has numerous preceding signs.
Are the seven Feasts of the Lord in a predetermined order, with their dates cast in stone? Yes they are. And people who change the order or dates get cursed!
Each of the feasts points to a major prophetic world milestone with precision. For example: The crucifixion happened on the day of Passover, which is what Passover points to.
According to the plot of the feasts, we are now in the Pentecost era, right at the very end of it. The next one to find its prophetic fulfilment is Rosh Hashanah / Feast of Trumpets. This feast has numerous, incredibly revealing details of the new beginning and the tribulation with its judgements. It also has, at the same time, many items of type, relating to the rapture.
Contained in the Feast of Trumpets are items that can apply to the tribulation and rapture together. This feast could find no other historic factors to meet the required fulfilments, besides the tribulation / rapture, and it is next.
The next Feast of Trumpets will begin on September 7th or 8th on the sighting of the new moon. If it is not this year’s it will be next year’s feast. It is impossible that it will not be on a Feast of Trumpets.
The last days, including the tribulation are referred to as “The days of Noah.” Noah knew exactly when the flood would begin. (type of the tribulation):
Genesis 7:4 “After seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights...”
Many claim and teach that the rapture will happen on a Feast of Pentecost. They have many legitimate reasons, but a Pentecost rapture would mean that there are two fulfilments of the Feast of Pentecost and none for the Feast of Trumpets, which has hundreds of beautiful signs in type within it.
If you don’t see the major prophetic importance of the seven feasts of the Lord, you have been blinded by counterfeit christianity, or blinded by replacement theology, or blinded by God, or are basically biblically ignorant.
So, what about “no one knows the time, day or hour”?
What follows is a most important discourse on a familiar subject.
But first: Albert Barnes: (1800s) “Notes on the Bible. “Know” is sometimes rendered “make known.” One needs to go with context.
Mark 13:32-35 “Of that day and hour no one knows (or makes known), neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son but only the Father. Take heed, watch and pray for you do not know when the time is (or which division of the night)...Watch therefore for you do not know when the Master of the house is coming – in the evening or midnight, at the crowing of the rooster or in the morning.”
The unexpected hour does not mean, “nobody knows,” it refers to four divisions of night into which the Jews divided the night. So it is very clearly speaking of the very short, specific time of a day.
Matthew 24:36 “Of that day and hour no man makes known, only the Father will make it known.”
To be correct, you must follow the rules. The subject is “of that day.” That means the conditions of the day and not the time on the calendar!
If you believe in imminence you can’t say the Lord’s coming is near or far. That’s not imminence. If you say we can know the season, again, that’s not imminence, it actually is the state of being likely to happen very soon, or coming very soon.
As the Bible has clearly shown, above in Mark 13:32-35, we are to watch and pray; for the Lord may come at any one of the night watches of a particular day.
This is further brought out in Matthew 25:6-10 where the watchmen are sent to the rooftop to watch for the bridegroom's coming. Logic says they wouldn’t be up there for years watching! They would have gone up at the start of the night.
The verse that seems to upset the applecart is Matthew 25:13. It does not!
Matthew 25:13 “Watch therefore for you know neither the day nor hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”
All this verse is saying that the very precise specific day or hour is not known. This is brought out wonderfully in the Feast of Trumpets, which is also known as the “Feast of which no one knows the day or hour.” – And that is because the feast begins on one of two days, at sunset, when the new moon is sighted.
At the end of it all we can safely say that we may not know the very precise time, but we most certainly can and will know the time as it approaches.
Those who claim the rapture is just escapism are generally the unsaved. It is they who won’t escape. They don’t like the idea of anyone being given privileged status and escaping.
Deceived rapture watchmen:
There are so many teachers out there who are deceived. None of them are led by the Spirit, because they have all been wrong. Some are so insane it’s a shame – and they yet have followers!
Here are some shocking, classic examples of recent big, failed rapture predictions:
●It would happen in 1988. It would happen on May 21st (Harold Camping). ●It would happen on September 23rd 2017 when there was an astronomical sign (which never was – look it up.) ●These people changed their dates a few times.
●The rapture would happen on the Feast of Purim, because “that’s when Jews get drunk in the streets.” ●It would happen 33 days after the death of Ravi Zachariah, because 33 is a God-number, and “I had a confirmation, seeing a car with a number plate saying “Leo” and Leo is a lion and Jesus is the Lion”, so that’s when the rapture will be!●The rapture is going to happen on this or that date because “I had a dream and God told me to tell you it will be then and it’s 100% for sure”! - Deceived liars, all of them!
Others are too embarrassing to even mention!
Don’t attribute the same sort of authority of the word of God to a dream. God can and does occasionally speak through dreams, just be very careful who you receive from.
Some are out to hoodwink you and some are so perpetually, perfectly stupid.
By the way, some of the Revelation 12-sign teachers of failed prophecy also taught of many things rooted in the occult like the cursed god Nibiru, also called Marduk. He is not a rogue planet, but a cursed god generating curses. Some of them were also flat-earth believers. One of these idiot watchmen teaches others that we are already in the tribulation because some things look familiar to the seals of Revelation 6!
►The greater problem is that these failed watchmen, cheapen, ridicule and cast doubt and suspicion on prophecy. They need to get out of ministry. I’m not talking about someone being wrong here or there, but with these, there is a consistent pattern of them being horribly wrong.
If as a teacher / watchman you are wrong on just one or two major things, you lose all trust.
Funny things about this: The brigade of always-wrong false watchmen out there, are also into the Babylonian, Roman pagan customs of Christmas and Easter and can’t see their deception by Rome!
This is the time for accuracy in the word, and its application. This is the time of a great increase in deception, and from false teaching from false watchmen who will become more and more prevalent and empowered by spirits of error.
If Satan can interfere with and confuse the prophetic word, his deception is working!
Rapture predictions give the perpetrators a sense of self importance. It elevates their pride. They can’t seem to realise that in cheapening the word of prophecy they damage its potential to be a life-changer for many who now have ongoing doubts.
They also make a mockery of the true watchmen and create unnecessary suspicion over it all. The biggest thing of all is that they prove absolutely that their false word is not of the Lord.
How can you believe or trust the word of failed rapture predictors? How can you trust the word of false prophets? If you do, you have some screws loose and deserve to be deceived.
Pre trib proof:
The big argument between pre – mid – post will only be fully resolved by the rapture. But as with all truth much is hidden just below the surface, it is there, albeit obscured from the masses.
Firstly, this is quite logical:
The antichrist and his followers, on earth, blaspheme our Lord in heaven with His church in heaven. That alone is a spectacular proof of a pre-tribulation rapture. (Revelation 13:6, 12:12)
Revelation 19:14 (The marriage feast of the Lord has just concluded in heaven (Verse9) “The armies in heaven clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.”
Fine linen, white and clean is a clear reference to the righteousness of the saints.
Revelation 19:8 “To her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.”
(The “wrong” brigade claims that these white horse riders are angels. They are wrong – read the verses again.)
These verses read correctly prove without any doubt that there is a large group of now, forever righteous saints, in heaven while the tribulation is on the go on earth and they return with our Lord at the Second Coming.
The horror rapture:
John 10:12-13 “He who is a hireling and not the shepherd, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf captures (harpazo / raptures) the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.”
The original word “capture”, used here is “harpazo” meaning rapture. In other words, his capture is a rapture of those sheep.
The “hireling” is in fact a counterfeit shepherd. He is not the real deal, although he looks and seems just like a shepherd. He is a fraud, and deceiver and a great pretender. He has not been appointed or called to his office.
But look at what he does. He sees trouble coming. His concern is immediately for himself. He runs and then Satan raptures those sheep! But raptured to where?
The true saints will be raptured to heaven for a glorious seven year union and marriage feast. The untrue saints will be raptured to the feast of slaughter and vultures.
Revelation 19:16-18 “His name was written on His robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, ‘Come and gather together for the great supper of the great God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, and commanders and mighty men, of horses and riders, of everyone slave and free, small and great.”
The rapture to heaven is coming quickly while the forced rapture to hell of unbelievers and counterfeits will happen just as quickly. Never the twain shall meet!
The church is the light of the world, but also its salt and salt is a preservative, adds flavour and is seen as judgement and hindrance of decay. Do you see why the world will fall apart when the church has gone in rapture.
The prophetic word is so current, alive and relevant to today and the future. It is inexhaustible and its interpretation always has new application. Those who don’t touch prophecy have a message as boring as they are themselves, but even worse, they are dangerous to your spiritual health.
Finally
In these days the only place of security is in the word of God!
The rapture expands your horizons in more ways than one.
The pre-tribulation rapture is a fear killer and hope and peace producer. Fear is sin!
Redemption and expectation go together. As expectation gets destroyed people don’t seek redemption.
Job 14:13-14 “That You would conceal me until your wrath is past, that You would appoint me a set time and remember me! If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service, I will wait, till my change comes.”
The Gospel According to Luke: Part 61

An Exposition - a comprehensive description and explanation of an idea
Luke 21:20-24: “The Terrifying Future for Jerusalem”
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Jerusalem flee to the mountains, let those who are amid her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled” (Luke 21:20-24, NKJV).
Prophecy can be defined as the history of humanity yet to be written but already known to some. If the Sovereign Lord, Who is above all space, time, and limit, set out to design all of what we see and do not see – put into a specific place within the universe and here on Earth, with exact measurement and precision, whether mobile or stable, with the structure, formulas, measurements, logic and rationality that allows for nothing extra nor wasted – to use for our benefit as His gift of mercy, grace, and love for us, then should He not control the progression of history as He knows it could, will, and shall be for the same mercy, grace, and love?
The God Who is There, as the late Dr. Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984) entitled one of his books defending the Christian faith against the tide of skepticism that he observed in his time, is not a mere indifferent spectator Who put everything into place and then left it all up to us to handle. When we read the Scriptures, we read of a God Who is personal, attentive, disciplinary, caring, a defender of His people, a gracious Savior from our sins, One Who comforts, reassures, Who wipes away tears, and has all things under control and will have everything come to a final conclusion for His grace and glory. We are no mere specks or flukes of some cosmological indifference or random shot of extraterrestrial sperm from passing alien forces, as some theorize as a means by which life came to this world.
I attended public schools and took several science courses. I heard about the evolutionary theory of Darwin, and I was also exposed to the story of the Biblical account of the creation, both by reading and listening to teachers and pundits in classrooms, pulpits, and television hammer out their ideas and discoveries. And even when I was not a Christian, I could not put my mind around some of the topics I had heard in terms of “random selection” and the “survival of the fittest.” It seemed so directionless and without purpose or meaning.
To combine Darwinist thought and its disbelief in design with purpose as a prime source for a discipline like history and then believe that the life we live here in this world is nothing more than a game of chance would be sheer madness. Why do anything for anybody for any kind of benefit if it amounts to nothing more than a mere flick of protoplasm that ends up in a grave somewhere, leading to oblivion and nothingness? It does explain why ancient civilizations such as the Greeks developed the philosophies of Stoicism and Epicureanism as a way of coping with the world. Either you took your lumps and dealt with it, or you partied and played until death took you. If there was nothing of which to look forward to such as an afterlife, or rewards, or favor with the deities, then what was the point?
These two pagan philosophies would have suited the Sadducees, the more “liberal” followers of God in Jewish society. They saw no life beyond this one, with no angels, resurrection, or any rewards from God save for what they achieved while they were here. The Pharisees embraced the idea of a resurrection and an afterlife with reward and accountability, but the Scripture lets us see that they were just as earthly-minded in terms of keeping a tight rein on their system and essentially micromanaging the people’s religious patterns and rituals that posed for worship of the living God.
Both sides were missing the big picture in terms of how God was governing the affairs of humanity and how it would end. The people were under a bondage to formality and rank apostate faith. They had become uncertain of what God expected of them and whether He would restore the nation again free from Rome or any other pagan rule. The vices of the Greeks and the Romans had permeated the land with idolatry, perversions, and arrogance from years of conquest and domination.
The men and women who had been following the Lord Jesus up to that point had clung to a remnant of true worship and devotion to God as best as they could understand it. Jesus had made many things clear about the love, grace, and mercy of the Father to them and others hungry for hope and truth. His teachings were a breath of fresh air and free from any self-developed theory or interpretation based on another teacher’s observations and rituals, as was the case with the Pharisees. When Jesus taught, it was on the sure foundation of the Scriptures that He Himself had inspired the prophets and statesmen of Israel to compose and teach to the following generations.
His teaching was not only for the growth of our minds and souls as His children and heirs, but as a hard shot of reality that was to come upon them in the days ahead and to prepare them. There was to be no dreamy idealism or sense of comfort in this world for His followers. There was to be no self-styled Hebrew “utopia” and freedom from Rome as many were expecting from Him and their misguided beliefs in how they saw the role of the “Messiah” as promised in Scripture. The prophecies that Jesus was presenting to His little group were to show His group that Jerusalem was to be invaded and torn apart by the very Romans they desired to see either leave the land or be crushed by God.
Jerusalem had been destroyed by a pagan kingdom before. In 586 B.C., Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded and destroyed the city. He led the last king of Judah and his people to the Babylonian Empire, where they would stay for seventy years as a punishment for their idolatry, wickedness, and rebellion against God and the prophets who warned them of the judgments to come. God has not and will never tolerate any kind of disobedience and rebellion from anyone or any nation. He merits out punishment and demands accountability from all people, and His chosen nation of Israel was not an exception as we read the Old Testament.
Now, Israel had shut their national eyes and ears to the claims and proof provided by the Lord Jesus that He was and is the Promised Messiah of His people as foretold in the prophets. The hatred and slander thrown at Him by the religious officials and their influence on much of the public had taken effect, and they rejected Him. Once again, God’s chosen people refused to obey Him by deciding to turn their backs on Jesus and the promises of God for no other reason than He did not fit their preconceived ideas and expectations. When Jesus had left the temple for good that day, He closed the door on the apostate religion it now represented and consigned the city and people He loved to another excursion of heartache that would last for over two thousand years and more.
Jesus describes the coming destruction of the city in full detail, sparing nothing in getting His followers to understand that it is not worth one’s life to come back home and get anything. Get out while possible, and do not look back. Pregnant women and new mothers will have a hard time escaping, and many citizens will be brutally executed by the swords of the Roman soldiers who, under the command of Vespasian in A.D. 70, completely eliminate the city of Jerusalem from existence, with the temple burned to the ground and torn apart for the gold and jewels that will be sent back to Rome, along with the surviving Jewish population as slaves. Any Jews who had fled beforehand were now in hiding and without a city or nation for themselves.
The Jewish people will undergo numerous persecutions and be without a home until May 14, 1948, when the nation of Israel is born from the ashes of the Holocaust survivors of Europe and the worldwide Jewish population’s desire to reclaim their land. This establishment of Israel is in itself a sign from God that He will never abandon His chosen people and that their enemies are His. He will be the victor over all of them, with Israel receiving their Messiah Jesus and be the governing nation of the coming New Heavens and Earth as promised by the LORD in His word. The Lord will go on to show that the troubles are just getting underway, but He is on His way as well and will put everything in its final and perfect order for all time. Amen to that.
Prayer for Endurance Through Storms
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
God, our refuge and strength, help us in times of trouble. When the earth dissolves and the mountains tumble into the sea and its waters roar and foam, remind us of your might, and your good and gracious will. All creation is groaning as it suffers the corruption of sin, but you have promised to make all things work together for the good of those who love you.
Hear our prayer, “Deliver us from evil,” and save your people from all disaster. Give patience and endurance to those who serve, help, and rescue. Calm the anxious. Comfort those who suffer loss. Turn thoughts from earthly to heavenly things, that we look to you, our only Savior, and help. Amen.
Bible verses for your protection:
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Isaiah 41:10
10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
St. Michael the Archangel defend Donald Trump in battle. Be his protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host by, the power of God thrust in the hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
The "Trump Card" - 14th Amendment, Section 3
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
Jan. 17th 2021
The Trump Card is apparently being played. It's much simpler than you all realize. Some of you have gotten it right.
Under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution:
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
Election Fraud would be a serious felony under normal circumstances, but under an active state of war it would be considered an act of treason.
Think back Re: The Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation hearings. What are the requirements for a civilian to be tried for treason? We have been in a state of war since 2001.
Pelosi and all other members of Congress are no longe members of Congress, they've forfeited their rights and offices by committing an act of treason.. Their treason was to vote to accept Electors from states where brazen voting fraud took place, despite that fraud being brought to their official attention on January 6. They gave "aid and comfort" to the people who stole a federal election.
The judges at both the state and federal level, who failed/refused to hear cases or admit evidence concerning the election fraud? They're guilty of giving aid and comfort as well.
They are no longer lawful members of Congress or Judges of the courts, thanks to Section 3 of 14th Amendment, they are now considered enemies of the Republic who have aided a foreign power in stealing an election.
When you have committed an act of treason, you forfeit your rights as an American. You have no rights.
Military law vs civilian law?
Any evidence is admissible in a military tribunal court, so Pelosi's stolen laptop, along with the other 11 stolen laptops, can be used in her military tribunal along with everything else Pelosi has done, to lock her and the others away for good.
History will show that Donald Trump tried every legal avenue to solve this crisis against our Constitution. It will show that all others failed to address this Act of Treason. He tried to resolve this peacefully. His only recourse left was to use the military, but it will be a LAWFUL use of the military as these people have broken their oaths and committed treason and insurrection.
President Donald J. Trump is legally required to act on this because of his own oath to the Constitution, to protect our Republic from enemies Foreign and domestic.
The crimes on their indictments will read; Treason, sedition, and crimes against humanity. When the whole world finds out they launched a virus to steal an election, the Great Awakening will begin.
They've sealed their fates. Checkmate.
Trump was chosen by God for such a time as this. This is God’s anointed who heads up God’s nation. God does not lose. A word from Amanda Grace modern day prophet: God says I shall fight for you OH America, I shall fight for this covenant nation and shall break the eagle of its bondage and the blood covenants made on behalf of the sons and daughters of perdition and sin, and Balaam, I the Lord shall break the chain of command and constrictions of that covenant and shall evict Lucifer from what he so illegally took and inhabited in this country.
There are those I have marked, I have set apart for such a time who I shall bring to the forefront of this fight from all different areas and expertise, and the giants and captains of industry who so want to utilize it as a weapon against the people and against truth, those captains of industry shall fall.
Banks shall take such a major hit and blow for their willful arrogance against the people, and the captains of social media so shall be smeared and on the run for Lucifer cannot help them once I have ruled against them for he has strings on them they foolishly allowed to grow bigger and stronger. And now the people shall turn against them and cry out even more for the time has come for the people to have a voice, a voice that will mute those in governments and industry attempting to manipulate and snare the people back into submission. However, the tables are surly turning and there will be evidence found underneath, says the Lord.
The next year says the Lord is going to be a crucial fight to regain the country out of the hands of the wicked. I the Lord have set My face against them and so shall I release My wrath upon them for attempting to open up the gates of hell against America. You have a sword, it is the Word, utilize it right now and speak it, root yourselves in it as I the Lord God send help oh America for she needs her freedom once again. Thus sayeth the Lord of Hosts in the name of Jesus Christ, amen and amen.
