The KJV Rapture Bible Code

 

Years ago, I found a rapture Bible Code in the KJV that succinctly tells when the rapture will occur. The other day a reader reminded me of this so, I decided to do another post about it. But before I show you the code let me give you a little primer on Bible codes in general. 

Have you ever heard of something called an ELS Bible code? In recent years the subject of the Bible codes has come to the forefront of mainstream media outlets.  The topic has been popularized on talk shows, by bestselling books, and through TV documentaries.  Some claim to have found Bible code matrices, which contain information about WWI, WWII, Shakespeare, John Kennedy, and The World Trade Center attack, even information about Jesus Himself.  

For the fundamental Christian the topic poses many questions such as; what are the Bible codes?  Are they from God, satan, or coincidence?  What purpose, if any, do the codes serve?  In this article we will examine the facts about these phenomena and answer the above questions. 

We will first answer the question; what is a Bible code?  A Bible code is an equidistant letter sequence code or for short an ELS code that has been found in the text of the Hebrew Scriptures.  An ELS code is a form of writing whereby one incorporates hidden messages within a text.  For example, the following short sentence contains an example of an ELS code.  See if you can find the hidden message in the sentence.

 

HE ATE THE LAST LUMP OF IT. 

 

Here is how to find the message; Pick the first letter, skip 3 letters and pick the 4th letter, then skip 3 letters and pick the 4th letter, do this 2 more times and the word HELLO appears.

 

  HE ATE THE LAST LUMP OF IT. 

 

This is a very simple example of what an ELS code is.  For years governments have used this type of code to send secret messages.  So, when people refer to the Bible codes they are referring to ELS codes found in the Hebrew texts of scripture. Here is an example of a simple Bible code that is included on Research Systems Code Finder Bible Code Software.

 

The above is called a Bible code matrix.  A Matrix is an array of letters formed by taking the Hebrew text of a scripture portion with the word spaces removed.  The letters are then placed in a rectangular array.  The circled, or boxed letters in the above matrix are the letters of the encoded words found at various skip intervals in that matrix. 

Here is the list of words from the matrix above which were found encoded in the scriptures about a forest fire in Haifa.  The first term in the list, which is the center term of the matrix, sets the theme and letter array of the matrix.  The other terms listed below also appear in the matrix at various skip intervals as listed below.

 

Now that we have a general idea of what a Bible code is let’s examine the facts about them to determine whether the encoded information that is being found in the above matrix and other Bible code matrices is from God, satan, or by coincidence? 

First let me state that it is true that if you have a large enough text you can find random ELS codes, which happen by way of coincidence, in any text.  However, by applying statistical analysis one can determine if a term or terms, which have been encoded, were encoded by coincidence or by design. 

For example, you will find the word “hello” encoded thousands of times in a large book such as War and Peace.  Through statistical analysis of the term you would see that the word has the likelihood of occurring quite frequently merely by chance.  Therefore, you could conclude, if you found it in a matrix from War and Peace, that it was probably encoded by coincidence.  

However, if you found a large word or even a sentence encoded in a Bible matrix, then through the application of statistical analysis, if its odds of occurring by chance were large enough, you could conclude that the word, phrase or sentence was probably encoded by design. That would be especially true if it was encoded in close proximity to other words that all related to a theme.  

The Bible code report above lists the terms found, at what skip, and then gives each term’s r-value in all of scripture, and it’s r-value in the matrix.  The r-value is a statistical term for the odds at which that term appeared.  For example the first term has an r-value of 8.278.  This means the odds that this term occurred at random is 10 to the 8.278 power to one, or by calculating it we find the odds as 189,670,592 to one.  You find the odds for all the terms occurring in the matrix by adding together all the in matrix r values of the terms, except for the first term which you use the straight r value for the entire search text, and then raising 10 to the power equal to the sum of the r values.  

Thus for the matrix above; the combined r-value is 12.240, which yields odds of about 1.7 trillion to one.  Many consider that a matrix in the Hebrew text must have odds greater than 10 to the 7th power to be considered to be beyond randomness.  Thus we could conclude that the matrix above was by design and not chance. 

Thus if the terms were not encoded by coincidence that leaves us with two other choices, they were either encoded by God, satan or as some claim aliens.  Knowing that God wrote the scriptures by inspiration through holy men and He preserved His word to this day, there is but one conclusion; that God put them there. 

To conclude that satan put them there would infer that God’s word has not been preserved to this day, and that the Bible has been changed by copiers and the codes were added by them.  When you consider the complexity of the codes this hypothesis becomes even more implausible, for the Bible codes are so complex that it would take the use of a super computer to create them.  Aliens did not write the codes either. 

Aliens are merely demons.  Thus, we conclude that valid beyond chance Bible codes are from God.  Some attribute Daniel’s statement in Dan. 12:9; “And he said, go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.”  As meaning that God closed up and sealed information about the end times by use of the Bible codes. 

Now that we have logically and scripturally concluded that God was the author of the Bible codes we will now consider the purpose for the Bible codes.  I believe that the main purpose of the Bible codes is to scientifically prove to a scientifically skeptical world that the Bible is God’s Word.  The complexity and odds of many Bible codes that have been found thus far to date by virtue of their statistical significance offer irrefutable proof that only God could have written the Bible and that the Bible is God’s Word.  

For in order to create the codes one had to possess an extremely high intelligence surpassing the ability of any computer, and one also had to possess a perfect knowledge of the future.  The only one who possesses those attributes is God Himself.  Thus, if one analytically evaluates the Bible codes, and is honest with himself, and the facts, he will have no other choice but to conclude the Bible is God’s word.  In fact several people in the scientific community have become Christians as a result of the Bible codes phenomena. 

In my experience many Christians have categorically rejected the Bible codes as heresy or folly without examining the facts.  I feel that this is inappropriate.  One should always examine the facts before making a judgment.  For if the Bible codes are truly of God then those who reject them will in effect be guilty of rejecting a part of the knowledge of God. 

Ok, so that is the background information about Bible codes. Now let me present a Bible code that I found in the KJV version of the Bible. Now, let me start off by saying that many scholars believe that the Hebrew Bible contains Bible codes, but whether or not the KJV translation or any translation for that matter, contains valid Bible codes is controversial. 

So, with all of that in mind here is the KJV Rapture Bible code.

 

As you can see the main term is; Six Seal. Here is a list of the other words and phrases surrounding the main term.

Main Term: Six Seal 

Day of Christ* 

The Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ * 

Glorious appearing of the great God * 

Sign 

Of  blood* 

Moon 

We which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds* 

Translated into the kingdom of His dear Son* 

Delivered* 

Saints 

Taken 

Wicked men* 

left 

Be saved O safe 

(* surface text)

 

Put all those terms together, and what is the message of this Bible code? That the saints will be taken at the rapture which occurs at the Day of Christ/Day of the Lord event after the sixth seal is opened and the moon is turned to blood.—surprise, surprise, surprise, this Bible code says that the rapture does not occur until after the Sixth seal is opened. How about that? 

The question now remains; is this Bible code by coincidence or is it from God? Let’s take a look at the odds to see if the phrases and words that formed the message are just random coincidence, or can be considered as a message from God? If it is just coincidental then it would mean nothing, if from God then it is a message we need to pay heed to, lest we are caught unawares.

 

The r-value of statistically significant terms in this matrix not including the surface text is 8.079, which yields odds of approximately 120 million to one. If you take into consideration other aspects of this matrix the odds of the matrix would increase. For example the entire matrix only includes 3431 letters, which is approximately ½% of the 739,167 letters in the KJV New Testament. Thus the matrix is a relatively small section of scripture. 

And in this relatively small matrix the term “Six Seal,” which is only encoded 4 times in the KJV New Testament, appears with 6 sentences or long phrases of definitely related surface text, such as “Hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” “We which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,” “The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,” “Day of Christ” “Glorious appearing of the great God.” “The Lord delivered me.” So I believe these occurrences add to the odds. 

Not only is the related surface text statistically significant but the words “saints” and “taken” are only encoded once in this matrix and they cross each other and the surface text of “We which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds.”

Further to the right, next to and touching “Saints” and crossing “taken,” is the encoded word “left,” which also occurs right below the surface text “wicked men.” The phrase “wicked men” only occurs 2 times in the KJV NT and appears in this small matrix very close to “left.” All 4 of these terms occurring in close proximity to each other are also statistically significant and add to the odds. Saints taken and wicked men are left—that’s a good description of the rapture.

The other significant cluster of terms is “of blood” which occurs 16 times in the KJV NT and appears in this matrix. The phrase “of blood” also crosses the encoded term “moon,” which is almost parallel to the term “sign.” All 3 occur in a 7 x 28 box, which again add to the odds and refer to the sign of the blood moon that occurs at the sixth seal.

All of these statistically significant events increase the odds of this matrix making it less likely to be by chance. I do not have a formula for assigning odds to these occurrences, but if we conservatively assigned odds of 10 to 1 for each event, it would increase the odds of this matrix to approximately a trillion to one. 

Are the odds high enough for us to say that this matrix was by design and not chance? I believe so. But you know what? It really doesn’t matter what this Bible Code says, because our only source for doctrine is God’s Holy Word; we are never to use experiences and or other spiritual phenomena such as the Bible codes to formulate doctrine. 

That being said it is God’s Holy Word that tells us clearly that the rapture will not occur until after the Sixth seal is opened. You see, God tells us that the rapture occurs during the Day of the Lord. 

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 2 Thes 2:1,2 

God also tells us that the moon is turned to blood before the Day of the Lord begins. 

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: Acts 2:20 

And when is the moon turned to blood? At the Sixth Seal. 

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; Rev 6:12 

Therefore, scripture demands that you accept the fact that the Day of the Lord and rapture must occur after the sixth seal is opened. This Bible code whether by coincidence or design serves to confirm that fact. 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Rapture Bible Code Bombshell! Revealing When the Rapture Will Occur—“Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!”

 

click to enlarge

I found a rapture Bible code that is absolutely unbelievable! It not only tells us what will happen at the rapture, but also when it will occur—surprise, surprise, surprise.

Before we get started I am going to assume that you are familiar with Bible Codes. If you are not, you can read this article that will give a brief explanation; The Bible Codes. Let me also mention that a lot of Bible Code work that is out there is inaccurate because the code finders do not consider the odds of the terms occurring in the matrix. See, random ELS codes can be found in any text, and thus the odds of the code need to be evaluated to determine whether the code is a random occurrence or by design. What helps answer that question are the odds of the terms in the matrix. The higher the odds the less likely the code occurred by chance. Just remember; “what are the odds?”

Take a look at this Bible code I found in the KJV. That’s right the KJV.

As you can see the main term is; Six Seal. Here is a list of the other words and phrases surrounding the main term:

Six Seal

Glorious appearing of the great God * 

Sign

Of  blood* 

Moon 

We which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds* 

Translated into the kingdom of His dear Son* 

Saints 

Taken 

Delivered* 

Wicked men* 

left 

Be saved O safe

* surface text,   blue text crosses main term

Put all those terms together, and what is the message of this Bible code? That the saints will be taken at the rapture which occurs at the Day of the Lord event after the sixth seal is opened and the moon is turned to blood—surprise, surprise, surprise, this Bible code says that the rapture does not occur until after the Sixth seal is opened. How about that?

The question now remains; is this Bible code by coincidence or is it from God? Let’s take a look at the odds to see if the phrases and words that formed the message are just random coincidence, or can be considered as a message from God? If it is just coincidental then it would mean nothing, if from God then it is a message we need to pay heed to, lest we are caught unawares.

For example the entire matrix only includes 3431 letters, which is approximately ½% of the 739,167 letters in the KJV New Testament. Thus the matrix is a relatively small section of scripture.

Not only is the related surface text statistically significant but the words “saints” and “taken” are only encoded once in this matrix and they cross each other and the surface text of “We which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds.” How about that?

Further to the right, next to and touching “Saints” and crossing “taken,” is the encoded word “left,” which also occurs right below the surface text “wicked men.” The phrase “wicked men” only occurs 2 times in the KJV NT and appears in this small matrix very close to “left.” All 4 of these terms occurring in close proximity to each other are also statistically significant and add to the odds.

God also tells us that the moon is turned to blood before the Day of the Lord begins.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: Acts 2:20

And when is the moon turned to blood? At the Sixth Seal.

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; Rev 6:12

Therefore scripture demands that you accept the fact that the Day of the Lord and rapture must occur after the sixth seal is opened. This Bible code whether by coincidence or design serves to confirm that fact.

Songs of Deliverance

The Lord led me to several passages which encouraged my heart. I love praying through Psalms, especially since if we ask anything according to His will, which they are, we are given it.

Ps 27:3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

Ps 28:6,7 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Ps 30:1 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

Ps 31:3,4,19-21 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

Ps 32:6-8 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Ps 33:18-22 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.


Ps 34:6-9 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

And here is a timely one from the New Testament; Luke 21:36

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

The Coming Epiphany

I would like to pass on a comment that I received from a reader the other day regarding The Coming Epiphany. In doing this I am hoping that it will encourage some to read it. I wrote The Coming Epiphany because I was burdened at how asleep Christians were to essential end times truths. I have put many hours of prayer, research and writing into the book. And for the record I have not made a dime off the book and in fact for the whole project I am in debt--but I did not write it to make money, but to help others understand end times Bible prophecy in an easily understood format.

The comment:

Dear William,

Thank you for your book, "The Coming Epiphany" and the opportunity to download it free.

After spending the past two days reading it, I ordered 3 copies today.

For over a year God has been drawing me almost every day into the Book of Revelation. I have shared some of what I have learned on my blog.

However, I came to the conclusion recently that I have just scratched the surface and prayed that God would give me a better understanding of the signs of the times and what significant indicators I should be watching for so I can sort out priorities and prepare the best I can.

Then I came across your article on Rense two days ago and as I read your book, I realized that this was the answer to my prayer.

I know that everything is not revealed to us yet, but now I have a better idea of what to be watching for as God unfolds the future in a way that His people will hear His Voice and understand what He is saying.

Thank you for writing this book....

Reading your book and knowing how close we are to His coming, surely will serve as encouragement to many to endure to the end.

Continue to Be Blessed,

The Rapture Code

Do you believe in the Bible codes? Some do and some do not. Personally I believe that God has encoded the Old Testament and legitimate Bible Codes do exist. There are also many Bible codes that are not legitimate, mainly because they do not have great enough odds to be considered beyond chance and thus may just be random. For a further discussion of that topic see The Bible Codes.

How about a translation? Could God have encoded a translation? My first thought was that a translation could not be encoded because translations are not inspired. But on the other hand who am I to limit God and say that He could not do that--He can do greater things than we can think or imagine. And it stands to reason that if you had a group of earnest, righteous, Holy Spirit controlled translators, that even though translations are not inspired, God could conceivably guide and direct the translators by His grace to translate according to His will and thus a translation and even it's revisions could also be encoded.

So a few years ago I decided to search the KJV to see if I could find any "codes." I found a very interesting code that concerns the rapture and clearly shows its timing. The code is depicted above and if you click on it you can see it in full size.

The matrix puts forth the idea that the Day of Christ or the Day of the Lord will occur at the sixth seal. It also puts forth the idea that the rapture will also occur at this time in which the righteous will be taken and delivered from the wrath to come and the wicked, men without Christ, will be left to suffer the wrath of God. This sentiment is echoed in the phrase “be saved, O safe!” which again sets forth the idea that if you are saved you will be safe from the wrath to come. The matrix further contains information regarding one of the most prominent signs of the Day of the Lord, namely that the moon will be turned to blood.

As stated above the odds of a matrix have to be high enough to be considered beyond chance and thus legitimate. The r-value of statistically significant terms in this matrix without inclusion of surface text is 8.079, which yields odds of approximately 120 million to one. However there are other statistically significant occurrences in this matrix;

1. The entire matrix only includes 3431 letters, which is approximately ½% of the 739,167 letters in the KJV New Testament. In the matrix the term “sixseal,” which is only encoded 4 times in the KJV New Testament, appears with 6 sentences or long phrases of definitely related surface text such as “Hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” “We which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,” “The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,” “Day of Christ” “Glorious appearing of the great God.” “The Lord delivered me.”

2. The words “saints” and “taken” are only encoded once in this matrix and they cross each other and the surface text of “We which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds.”

3. The encoded word “left,” occurs right below the surface text “wicked men.” The phrase “wicked men” only occurs 2 times in the KJV NT and appears in this small matrix very close to “left.”

4. The terms “saints” “taken” “wicked” and “men” all occur near each other. The other significant cluster of terms are “of blood” “moon” and “sign” where the phrase “of blood” also crosses the encoded term “moon,” which is almost parallel to the term “sign.” All 3 occur in a 7 x 28 box.

All of these statistically significant events increase the odds of this matrix from occurring by chance. If we conservatively estimate the odds of each of those 4 occurrences as 10 to 1 that would increase the odds of this matrix to an r-value of about 12 yielding odds of about one trillion to one.

Are the odds high enough for us to say that this matrix was by design and not chance? Does this matrix show that the KJV is encoded? I will leave those questions to be answered by the statistical experts. But if the answers to these questions are yes, then this matrix would offer confirmation to the fact that the rapture will occur after the sixth seal is opened.

Our only source for doctrine is God’s Holy Word; we are never to use experiences and or other spiritual phenomena such as the Bible codes to formulate doctrine. God’s Holy Word is clear that the rapture will occur after the sixth seal is opened and this Bible code whether by design or chance says the same thing.

Scripture Prayers

1. I Chr 4:10; Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me!

2. Ps 23; The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup Runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

3. Ps 35:1-6; Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them. Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them.

4. Ps 39:8-13; Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it. Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.

5. Ps 43:1-5; Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

6. Ps 51; Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou Judgest. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

7. Ps 86; Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

8. Ps 119:36-44; Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation, according to thy word. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

9. Ps 119:133-135; Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
10. Eph 1:17-23; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

11. Eph 3:16-21; That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

12. Phil 1:9-11: And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

13. Col 1:9-11; For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

14. I Thes 3:10-13; Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith? Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

15. II Thes 1:11,12; Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

16. II Thes 2:16,17; Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

17. Luke 21:36; Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

End Times Synopsis

What does the Bible—the only sure source of prophecy—say about the end times? This is something everyone should know; yet many have a serious lack of understanding in this area. In order to help others understand what will eventually, and maybe sooner than you think, transpire on the earth I have put together a synopsis of the major prophetic events listed in scripture.

Before I present the synopsis let me tell you the criteria by which I arrived at this synopsis. The following is an excerpt from The Coming Epiphany regarding this.

There are many books on the market that deal with biblical prophecy. Why is this book different? Why listen to me? Who am I to say what is right or wrong? Should you listen to me because I have been involved in preaching and teaching God’s Word on a daily basis for the last 20 years, or because I have memorized and meditated on scripture every day for the last 23 years, or because I have a Master of Divinity degree from a conservative fundamental Christian university, or because I have fasted and prayed over this book? No, even though credentials have their place, you should not listen to anyone because they have “credentials.” You should only listen to me or any Bible teacher or preacher because what they say agrees with the Word of God. We all have the responsibility before God to go to the scriptures ourselves and see if what we are being taught agrees with all of scripture just like the Bereans did. “These [Bereans] were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11).

Scripture and scripture alone is the standard by which everything must be judged. Unfortunately, many approach end-times scriptures with a predetermined theological mindset and then try to make scripture fit into their theology. What sets this book apart from all the rest is that it attempts to approach the topic with all of scripture, and scripture alone, as its basis. A theological belief is then formed on the basis of what all of the scriptures dictate.

In this book scripture will be interpreted according to the following principle: “When the plain sense of scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense; therefore, take every word at its primary, ordinary, usual, literal meaning unless the facts of the immediate context, studied in the light of related passages and axiomatic and fundamental truths, indicate clearly otherwise.”[1] In other words, scripture will be interpreted literally unless it is evident that a symbolic interpretation is warranted by the text. Theological systems will then be evaluated in light of what the Bible says and not the other way around, as many books on this topic do.

Many end-times books also are based solely or partly on various extra-biblical ancient and modern-day prophecies. It is apparent that many of these prophecies are man-made or even demonic in origin, and even though they may contain some truth, they do not contain all truth and thus cannot be trusted. The only sure foundation that we have for faith and doctrine is the Word of God. When this book uses extra-biblical sources, it is only to support a point that has already been made from the scriptures.

In this book, I will endeavor to present what the whole of scripture says with regard to prophetic events and not necessarily what any theological system dictates. I ask that you would prayerfully compare what I present with scripture. If I have been accurate in presenting the truth of God’s Word—and these pages represent the truth of what is to come—then all of scripture will agree with what I am stating. And in all of your prophetic study, whether through this book or any other, let me remind you of one of God’s wonderful promises: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering” (James 1:5–6). I pray that this book will be a blessing to you.

A proper understanding of biblical prophecy is extremely important and is essential to the life of the believer (or unbeliever, for that matter). Without it, regardless of your spiritual background, you could be caught off guard and be unprepared for what is going to take place on the earth in the near future. Should this occur, you would most likely place yourself in spiritual and or physical jeopardy. If the rapture occurs and you are left behind, you will most likely suffer a terrible fate. Thus, I beseech you to take very seriously the information presented in this book, for it will be of such profound importance that I liken it to the importance of Christopher Columbus saying that the world is round.[2]
