The Wilkerson Worldwide Financial Crash; Germany Will be First Then…

 

We have been hearing of a coming worldwide financial collapse by many economists for years—there is too much debt. The Bible also foretells of a coming worldwide financial collapse. 

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

 

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. Rev 6:5,6 

There is a famous vision that was proclaimed to the world by evangelist David Wilkerson that involved a financial collapse that would engulf the world. And he said, "It's going to start in GERMANY!!!"  

So we have a word that David Wilkerson himself declared to be prophetic, not just a warning based upon his study of Scripture, but a prophetic word which said that a European, North African or Eastern nation was going to go bankrupt; German, Swiss and French banks would take the initial impact - hard; then a second nation, possibly Argentina or Brazil would follow, then Mexico. The US would not necessarily be impacted by the default of the first nation or the South American nation but would be impacted, hard, by the default of Mexico, so much so that NOT the National Guard but the WHOLE US ARMY would be called out to control the chaos. Source: Running from Babylon; GREECE AND DAVID WILKERSON.

And here is another account that adds more details.

I thought you might like to see the results of a bit of research I've done, in which I found an old audio message by David Wilkerson, in which he identifies the first important European country to suffer an economic collapse: Not Greece, but Germany! (Not to say Greece won't collapse, but read on).

To give some background, first, in his book, "The Vision", at the beginning of chapter 1, Wilkerson states, "I see total economic confusion striking Europe first, and then affecting Japan, the United States, Canada, and all other nations shortly thereafter".

So, the economic collapse begins in Europe. There is a slightly different version of this which is circulating on various sites on the internet, usually titled "David Wilkerson's Economic Vision". This is the one you quoted, where he narrates how the collapse starts in Europe, spreads to South America, then Mexico, then the U.S. Notice he again mentions Europe first, and then later, "the first country (that) goes bankrupt", but doesn't identify the country. Well, I did some more digging and found this audio sermon by Wilkerson:

AT EXACTLY 2:03 (see audio below) HE STATES: "It's going to start in GERMANY!!!" http://www.ubm1.org/?page=wilkerson#Germany

Now check out some of the latest headlines. 

German economy in 'deepest crisis' of post-war era: industry group Frankfurt (Germany) (AFP) – Germany's economy is suffering its "deepest crisis" since the aftermath of World War II, an industry group warned Tuesday, calling on Chancellor Friedrich Merz's government to take urgent action to spark a revival. 

And how about the rest of the world, Glenn Beck just dropped the most important 4 minutes you’ll watch this year: 

“For the FIRST time in recorded history, EVERY major civilization—America, China, Europe, Japan—is hitting the absolute peak of the debt super-cycle AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT. There is no rising power waiting in the wings like there always has been. When this resets, it won’t be regional. It will be global, systemic, and sudden.” 

So, are we on the precipice of the worldwide financial collapse? Knowing that the last 7 years has begun and that the Seal 3 financial collapse will occur in the first half of the last 7 years, would lead us to conclude that indeed it is near to occurring.

This chart ought to tell you something.

 

And if you are expecting the rapture to occur before the Seal 3 financial crash, it won't. The rapture does not occur until after the opening of the sixth seal. In fact, as of 10/13/2025 we are in the last 7 years now.

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

Celestial Warning: The Sun is Going Through the Golden Gate on 12/21/2025, Look Out Below!

 

Did you know that the evil forces aligned with satan try to plan their big events in accordance with the stars? They believe that the stars exude power upon the earth--astrology--and if they plan their events to coincide with certain celestial alignments, especially golden gate crossings, their plans will have a greater chance of success.  

It is apparent there is a star knowledge being used in conjunction with these events. They are carefully planned to coincide with the gateways in and out of the Heavens. For all we know there is a dual ritual occurring at the same moment in time. Whomever, is behind these events know the stars are necessary to bring their intentions into the material world. George H.W. Bush, used “The Golden Gate” to plant the seed of the new world order into the gateway. The idea was bound on Earth and loosed into Heaven. “The Silver Gate” released what was loosed in Heavens and bound it on Earth.
http://revelationnow.net/2013/04/13/911-a-starry-trail-of-mass-murder/ 

God, on the other hand uses the celestial alignments in the heavens as signs for us, such as the famed star of Bethlehem celestial alignment that proclaimed the birth of the Messiah.

The other day I decided to check and see if I could find any near future celestial alignments that would be a sign from God and or an alignment that the evil forces may use to try to pull off an event. I think I found one. Here it is.

The sun goes through the golden celestial gate on the winter solstice--12/21/2025--flanked equidistantly by Mars and Venus. Note that the sun is also flanked equidistantly, but farther away by the Moon and Mercury. I looked back as far as the 1400s and did not find that configuration and I would dare say that this is a once in the history of the world celestial alignment.

And you ask why this is configuration important? Let’s first consider the importance of the celestial golden gate. The heavenly golden gate is located between Sagittarius and Scorpio at the intersection of the Galactic Equator and the Ecliptic, centered in the Milky Way.

 

The intersection of these two circles between Scorpio and Sagittarius is known as the golden gate of heaven. The galactic center lies visually from our solar system along a line that passes through the golden gate.

A Golden Gate crossing of celestial bodies can have great events accompanied with them. In fact, tradition holds that major historical events have occurred after the sun has crossed the Golden Gate, such as the flood of Noah.

in 4004 BC at the creation of man, according to E. W. Bullinger's chronology, the sun was located above the star Nashira in the east of Capricorn. In the flood year of 2348 BC the sun was located in the west of Capricorn on the winter solstice…

The fact that the sun crossing heaven's golden gate on the winter solstice signaled the end of corrupted man's tenure on earth was fairly common knowledge in the ancient East.
https://www.musterion8.com/galacticalignmentandchrist/aug2gates.html

 

And here is another piece of data about the golden gate that makes an earthquake connection.

 

Scorpio seems ‘stuck’ in the Milky Way. Interestingly, it also marks the second gate of the Milky Way known as the Golden Gate of heaven so that Velent can leave after the death of the two dwarfs the mountain taking all their gold and silver with him.

 

The events of the myth concerning the death of Vaði can be summarized as follows:

 

The rising of the Great Rift of the Milky Way causes an earthquake…

https://www.germanicmythology.com/ASTRONOMY/MilkyWay2.html

 

Have there been any Golden Gate crossings that have been associated with major events in recent years? Yes, there has.

On September 11, 1990 at 9:09 PM, President George Herbert Walker Bush spoke before a joint session of Congress, regarding the Persian Gulf War. Among other topics, he stated that the war presented an opportunity for a “New World Order” to emerge. Eleven years later — to the day — the twin towers of the World Trade Center would fall, creating yet another “opportunity” to move.

Unbeknownst to the general population of the Earth this speech of ideas was unfolding under the alignment of “The Golden Gate” which is considered the entrance into the Heavens.

It is no accident this particular alignment was chosen to introduce the world to the concept of a “New World Order.”  The time of the speech appears to be carefully timed to coincide with “The Golden Gate” alignment over Washington, DC.
http://revelationnow.net/2013/04/13/911-a-starry-trail-of-mass-murder/

At that alignment the moon was very close to the gate and was flanked by Jupiter and Mars. It went through the gate later that night.

Now that we have established the fact that alignments with the celestial gates are important and have seen that they have aligned with major events in the past, let’s look at our 12/21/2025 sign ‘above’ to see what may transpire ‘below.’

The sun goes through the Golden gate on the day of the winter solstice--12/21/2025--13 years past the infamous 12/21/2012 Mayan end of the world date and 5 years past the 12/21/2020 great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. 

As already stated, the golden gate is located between Sagittarius and Scorpio. Sagittarius represents the rider on the horse with a bow, the Seal 1 conquering force that at the midpoint of the last 7 years takes over the world. 

BTW, Sagittarius was involved in another sign on 12/25-26/2019 when the rider on the horse received a crown (corona), which was followed by the corona virus outbreak and the 'toxon' jab.

 

Another player in the 12/21/2025 sign is Scorpio, which is a representation of death, pain, and destruction and Christ’s ultimate victory over sin and the devil.

 

The heavens declare the glory of God (Psalm 19:1), and the stars above testify to the profound truths of His eternal plan. As we continue this series inspired by Pastor James Kennedy’s sermon series, “The Gospel in the Stars,” we turn our attention to Scorpio, the scorpion. In this celestial narrative, Scorpio represents one of the most dramatic chapters of the salvation story: the cosmic battle between good and evil and Christ’s ultimate victory over Satan and sin.

 

Scorpio: The Enemy Strikes

Scorpio, the eighth sign of the zodiac, is traditionally depicted as a scorpion, an ancient symbol of betrayal, death, and enmity. In biblical imagery, the scorpion is often associated with pain and destruction. In Deuteronomy 8:15, the wilderness is described as “a great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought.” This symbol of danger reflects the malicious nature of Satan, who strikes with the venom of sin and rebellion.

 

Venus represents the bright morning star—Jesus the Messiah—and in the end times Venus can also represent the false messiah—the antichrist. And Mars is the planet associated with war. Mercury is the messenger planet and in the end times represents the false prophet. The Moon being the greatest light in the night sky has great esoteric importance to the evil forces aligned with satan.

So, what does this sign of the sun going through the Golden Gate on the winter solstice in 2025 flanked by Venus, Mars, Mercury and the Moon convey to me? I believe it is a sign of a coming end times war involving the antichrist that will help the Seal 1 conquering force eventually take over the world. 

As a matter of fact, from 12/21/2025 to our antichrist takeover the world date of 3/25/2029 it is 1190 days—a backwards 911. 

Update: From 5/14/2018 when Trump opened the embassy in Jerusalem to 12/21/2025 is 7 yrs, 7 mo, 7 days. End of update.

I have also always wondered if a celestial Golden Gate crossing might be associated with an event at the Golden Gate bridge. Like, might one of our enemies try to bring the bridge down in a covert act of war timed to a future Golden gate crossing. The bridge is also in an area prone to earthquakes and earthquake generated tsunamis—can earthquakes be used as an act of war?

As already mentioned, the celestial golden gate is between Scorpio and Sagittarius, and the sun is in Sagittarius from 11/22/2025 to 12/21/2025 after which it enters Capricorn. The infamous IPG2 features a snake--one of the two live animals in the film--that forms the symbol for Sagittarius, indicating bad things could happen when the sun is in Sagittarius.

And let me add that 12/21/2025 is Tevet 1 in the Jewish calendar and in Jewish history this was the day that the Egyptians were struck with the 7th plague, which was the plague of hail that included a fire and or electrical component. 12/21/2025 is also the 7-8th day of Chanukah and whenever I am reminded of Chanukah, I think of this scene from IPG2--the Menorah looking bombers.

And whenever I think of Scorpio and December, I am reminded of the ending scene in the infamous I Pet Goat 2 film that has Scorpio in the clouds to the upper left and the sun on the horizon putting out waves of energy that destroys the Giza pyramid.

Could this be signaling a Carrington type event or an EMP event? And let's not forget that they like to do things backwards, so the end of the film may be the beginning of the events depicted in the film. And if you go backwards in the film from this point most of the scenes are in the dark.

And now look at the view of the sun on 12/21/2025 from the lower southern hemisphere below South America, where there is lots of ice as also depicted in the IPG2 scene--the sun is on the horizon and Scorpio is to the left at about 45 degrees just as depicted in the IPG2 ending scene. Note: This is the way it looks every year in this location at the winter solstice.

 

Let me also bring to your attention that at the end of the IPG2 film it looks like waves of energy coming from outer space that causes the destruction. Here is something I dug up years ago that concerns waves of energy, the galactic center of the universe--golden gate--and Batman.

Scientists are telling us that there is a giant gas cloud that is coming very close to the center of the Milky Way, and if it contains a brown dwarf, it could set off a super wave. If the super wave occurs it could possibly trigger large earthquakes, volcanoes, and various other earth effecting events. 

And what might the effects of this collision be on earth?

In the case where an entire 100 jupiter mass brown dwarf were to plunge into the Galactic core in one discrete event, the energy release would be equivalent to that released in a hypernova, the most powerful of known supernova exposions (~1053 ergs).  This could be enough to jump-start the Galactic core into a Seyfert state and generate a potentially lethal superwave…

The superwave will have arrived at our doorstep, possibly heralded by earthquakes occurring a few days before. http://etheric.com/g2-cloud-predicted-to-approach-twice-as-close-to-gc/

Thus, the incoming energies from an event like this could set off earthquakes, anything else?

Although there is a rather remote possibility (which I cannot presently rule out) that such a superwave may be a Magnitude 1 superwave that carries an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and geomagnetic disturbance similar to a Carrington solar flare event, one that would be able to disrupt our electrical grid and satellite communication systems.  Also a magnitude 1 event could possibly cause significant seismic activity similar to the December 2004 tsunami event that struck two days before our satellites registered the largest Galactic gamma ray burst in modern history.  But these more serious EMP and gravity wave consequences should occur only if the G2 cloud break up and consumption occurred quickly, as we will discuss below… 

It goes without mentioning, that this would launch a superwave that upon arrival at our solar system would have serious consequences, such as those that impacted us at the end of the last ice age. http://starburstfound.org/superwaveblog/?p=246

This superwave, if it occurs, is supposed to come from the core of the Milky Way at the galactic center, at the golden gate. The Milky Way is associated with the Ba—Batman—as explained by Running from Babylon in her post; RYSE1 - The Dark Knight of the Soul.  

The Egyptians personified the Milky Way as a horned cow goddess. Her name was Bat. Her name was derived from the word BA, which was the element of the human soul that was temporarily submerged in darkness and suffering, which the ancients often referred to as the “dark night of the soul.” The BA was submerged in the dark night of the soul because it had fallen from heaven down to Earth thru the celestial Silver Gate. 

To re-enter Heaven, the Ba needed to travel back to Heaven thru the celestial Golden Gate. The goddess of the Milky Way was named Bat because Bat is the feminine form of Ba. If we add the word MAN to BAT, we neutralize the feminine “T” and form a new, androgynous title for the Ba, BATMAN.

We see that BA and BATMAN are the same word. They represent the ancient Egyptian notion of the “dark night of the soul.” This is exactly why Batman is also called “the Dark Knight” because he is the “Ba,” the temporary dark night of the soul. He is the Egyptian god BAT of the Milky Way. This is also why Batman’s logo is a giant image of the Milky Way. And that is why we project it onto the night sky.

Is the dark knight getting ready to rise, will a dark knight event be associated with the golden gate crossing on 12/21/2025?

Now let's come back down to earth, the IPG2 ending scene featured a Southern Hemisphere area near Antarctica and the Giza pyramid. The dollar bill also features both, when you look at the capstone of the pyramid on the back of a dollar bill through a certain image filter a shape appears around the capstone that resembles the Arctic or Antarctic, both of which are locations rumored to be where demonic ETs are fabled to live who will be connected to the coming antichrist.

And here is another dollar bill tidbit, as some of you may be aware there is encoded information on the dollar bill including a map and hidden dates, which you can read about in The Dollar Code. Check out this hidden dollar bill date calculation using the esoteric number 838.

In occult numerology, the number 838 signifies divine guidance, abundance, spiritual growth, and new beginnings, blending the infinite nature of 8 (new cycles, power) with the wholeness of 3 (Trinity, divine support), suggesting you're on a path of expansion and success through inner wisdom and connection to higher realms.

19.471 x 12.838 = 249.968698 = 249 yrs and 354 days

1/1/1776 + 249 yrs and 354 days = 12/21/2025

Now, check this out; after most of the above was written, except for edits, I received an email from Steve Wilkin that showed 12/21/2025 as a date to watch, some of which is included below, you can read the full article here. Take note of all the 7s and the fact that from when Israel became a nation on 5/14/1948 to 12/21/2025 is 77 years, 7 months, and 7 days. And I would also like to bring out the fact that 12/21/2025 is day number 70 of the last 7 years, which began on 10/13/2025.

Conclusion

Is the sun going through the Golden Gate flanked equidistantly by Mars, Venus, Mercury and the Moon on the winter solstice in 2025 a sign from God and or a special star alignment that the evil forces will use, and if so, will an event happen on the day of the sign or follow thereafter?

Since Mars and Venus are involved in this Golden Gate crossing of the sun, is it a sign of a coming false messiah antichrist war event? Since the celestial golden gate is involved is it a sign of a future golden gate bridge event? Or since the IPG2 scene matches the celestial configuration of the southern hemisphere Antarctic area, is it a sign of a major UFO E.T. antichrist Batman event? Or is it a sign of the three days of darkness as Steve's information alludes to?

Regardless, knowing that the last 7 years has begun, I can easily conclude that the Seal 1 conquering world force and the Seal 2 war are in our near future and at the very least this golden gate crossing of the sun flanked by Venus, Mars, Mercury, and the Moon is a sign of the coming antichrist and his wars.

In pondering this Sun related event, I am reminded of a song entitled 'Here Comes the Sun.' Will it literally be 'here comes the sun' on the Golden Gate crossing? In other words, will there be a large energy release from the sun on that day or will it be 'here comes the son--the false messiah? In other words, is this Golden Gate crossing on 12/21/2025 a sign of major false messiah events? 

Whatever the case, after the antichrist takes over the world at the midpoint of the last 7 years, it will be followed by our rescue via the rapture and our return to the earth at Armageddon with the Son of God--the Lord Jesus Christ--then that will truly be, here comes the Son!

Bottom Line: The alignment of the sun going through the celestial golden gate flanked by Venus, Mars, Mercury, and the Moon on 12/21/2025 is an end times sign. Whether or not the evil forces will do anything on that day or shortly thereafter is yet to be seen, but we do know that since we are in the last 7 years that major end times related events are imminent.

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

According to the Biblical Prophecy ‘Experts,’ What Starts the Last 7 Years?

 

That is a very good question, what do the most famous Biblical prophecy ‘experts’ believe will be the event that starts the last 7 years? 

Here is the answer, they believe the event that starts the last 7 years is the peace treaty.

 

In popular Christian eschatology (the study of end-times events), particularly within dispensational premillennialism, the signing of a seven-year peace treaty (or covenant) involving the Antichrist and Israel is the specific event believed to start the final seven-year period, often referred to as the Tribulation.

 

Many modern-day evangelical and dispensationalist Bible teachers subscribe to the view that a seven-year peace treaty (or covenant) involving the Antichrist and Israel will initiate the final seven years (the Tribulation period). This interpretation is a cornerstone of this specific eschatological framework.

 

Prominent figures and authors who teach this perspective include:

 

Dr. David Jeremiah: A well-known pastor, author, and founder of Turning Point Ministries, Dr. Jeremiah has written and taught extensively on end-times prophecy, adhering to the view that the Antichrist will confirm a seven-year covenant with Israel, which starts the Tribulation.

Dr. Mark Hitchcock: A prolific author and Bible prophecy expert, Dr. Hitchcock focuses on current events aligning with prophetic timelines, and he teaches that the seven-year covenant is the key trigger for the final period.

Robert Clifton Robinson: An author and teacher who frequently writes blog posts and books on biblical prophecy, emphasizing that the Daniel 9:27 prophecy of a seven-year peace plan is the beginning event of the Tribulation.

 

Dr. J. Dwight Pentecost: While his prominent work, the Bible Knowledge Commentary, was published decades ago, his interpretation of the Daniel 9 prophecy as a future seven-year covenant made by the Antichrist remains highly influential and is the basis for many modern teachers' views.

 

Joel Richardson: An author and filmmaker known for his focus on Middle Eastern prophecy, Richardson discusses the role of the covenant, although his views on the Antichrist's origin might differ slightly from traditional interpretations, the core concept of the treaty remains central to the timeline.

 

This teaching is widely disseminated through prophecy conferences, Christian television and radio, books, and online resources. The general consensus among those who hold this view is that the treaty will be brokered by a rising world leader (the Antichrist) and will guarantee Israel's security, allowing for the rebuilding of their Temple in Jerusalem.

 

And you know what, I agree that the last 7 years, or the 70^th Week will begin with the signing of the peace treaty with the many. In fact, it just happened: On October 13, 2025 the peace treaty was signed with the many.

 

So, why aren’t all these Biblical 'experts' proclaiming that the last 7 years has begun? It is probably because they also believe in the pre-tribulation rapture theory, which states that the rapture also occurs at the beginning of the last 7 years.  And since Christians have not been raptured yet, they reason the last 7 years has not begun. BTW, most pretribbers erroneously call the last 7 years the tribulation even though the tribulation events are only from Seals 1 to 4.

Part of the reason for their incorrect rapture thinking and failure to realize that the last 7 years has begun is that they also believe in a man-made theological system that came about in the 1830s called dispensationalism. This system forces them to interpret scripture in a certain way.

 

Dispensationalism is a Christian theological framework for interpreting the Bible that views history as a series of distinct "dispensations" or "administrations" in which God relates to humanity in different ways. A core tenet is maintaining a distinction between Israel and the Christian Church, and using a consistent literal interpretation of Scripture, especially biblical prophecy.

 

With their dispensational constraint they then interpret scripture based on what their theological system dictates rather than allowing the scriptures to speak for themselves. And the theological system of dispensationalism dictates that there has to be a pre-tribulation rapture.

 

In dispensationalism, the Rapture is a central and distinct event in end-times prophecy that involves the sudden removal of the Christian Church from the earth before a seven-year period of Great Tribulation. This event serves to "pause" God's dealings with the Church (the current "Dispensation of Grace") so that He can resume His specific prophetic program with national Israel.

 

So, basically they are allowing a man-made system dictate to them how to interpret scripture rather than interpreting scripture for what it says. 

And what does scripture say regarding the rapture? I refer you to the Apostle Paul who addressed the Thessalonians about their incorrect rapture belief—they believed the rapture was imminent or had already occurred and God through the Apostle Paul told them that certain things had to occur first.

 

1 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

 

2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit, or a message, or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

 

3 No one is to deceive you in any way! For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

 

4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 2 Thes 2:1-4

 

As you just read God told them that before the rapture, which occurs at the day of the Lord, that the apostasy must occur first, the antichrist be revealed and the abomination of desolation occur. All of that must occur before the rapture.

 

Therefore, since those things must occur first, then the rapture is not imminent until those things occur. Thus, the dispensational theory that contends the rapture is imminent cannot be correct because it contradicts scripture. 

And here is another scripture that disproves dispensational thinking. How can God have a different dispensation for Israel and Christians when they have been grafted together into one.

 

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, Rom 11:17.

 

So, how can there be a dispensation for two groups when we have been combined? There cannot.

And if you don't believe me about the dispensational error here is what the 'experts' say.

The most significant argument against thebiblical interpretation system of dispensationalism is that it fragments the unified message of Scripture by postulating a fundamental distinction between Israel and the Church, leading to an inconsistent interpretive method and a denial that Christ and the New Testament are the culmination and fulfillment of Old Testament promises. 

 

Critics, primarily from the covenant theology perspective, raise several specific points:

 

·         Disunity of Scripture: Dispensationalism is accused of "chopping up" the Bible into distinct, self-contained "dispensations" (periods of time where God tests humanity under specific rules), which obscures the overarching, continuous story of God's single plan of redemption through Jesus Christ that spans the entire Bible.

·         Separation of Israel and the Church: A core tenet of dispensationalism is a hard distinction between national/ethnic Israel and the Church as two separate peoples of God with different promises and destinies (one earthly, one heavenly). Critics argue that the New Testament presents the Church as the spiritual "Israel of God" and the continuous people of God, where the wall between Jew and Gentile has been broken down in Christ.

·         Inconsistent Hermeneutic: While dispensationalists advocate a "plain" or "literal" interpretation, especially for prophecy, critics point out this is applied inconsistently. For example, when the New Testament interprets an Old Testament prophecy (like the rebuilding of David's tabernacle in Acts 15) as being fulfilled spiritually in the Church, dispensationalists may label this an "application" to maintain the need for a future literal fulfillment in a physical Israel. This leads to a complex system rather than a "plain" one.

So, having established that the dispensational system is faulty, when in the end times does the rapture occur? God in scripture tells us It occurs at the day of the Lord.

 

That you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit, or a message, or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 2 Thes 2:2

 

And when in the end times does the day of the Lord occur? God clearly tells us it begins after the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood.

 

The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes. Acts 2:20

 

And the sun is darkened, and the moon is turned to blood after the Sixth seal is opened.

 

12 And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became as black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;

 

13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind.

 

14 The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

 

15 Then the kings of the earth and the eminent people, and the commanders and the wealthy and the strong, and every slave and free person hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains;

 

16 and they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the sight of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;

 

17 for the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” Rev 6:12-17

 

Therefore, the rapture and the day of the Lord occur after the sixth seal has been opened. Take note that in the scripture passage above the men of the earth hide because they see Jesus. That is exactly what happens at the rapture, Jesus is seen in the clouds and men hide. And after the rapture God’s wrath begins to be poured out upon the earth, which is exactly what the passage above says will happen—for the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

 

According to the ‘experts’ the last 7 years begins with the peace treaty, I agree, but their man-made erroneous dispensational system does not allow them to recognize that the last 7 years began on 10/13/2025 with the signing of the peace treaty with the many, and it also forces them to deny the fact that the rapture occurs at the day of the Lord after the opening of the sixth seal.

And since the last 7 years have begun, this is what we have to look forward to in the next 3.5 years—by the spring of 2029—we should see Seals 1 to 5 occur; a conquering world force, nuclear world war, a hyperinflationary financial collapse, a 25% population drop, the ‘coming on the scene’ of the UFO connected antichrist, the strengthening of the peace treaty, a rebuilt Jewish temple, the abomination of desolation, the mark of the beast, and the antichrist war of persecution against Jews and Christians. 

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
