What You Might Not Know About the Rapture: According to Jesus

 


In Matthew 24 the disciples asked Jesus about the end of the world and Jesus gave them an overview of what would happen and in what order the events would occur. And he specifically told them what events would precede His return at the rapture. Let’s listen to the Word of God and see what it reveals. 

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 

Tribulation; Seal 1 to 4 

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

 

Great Tribulation; Seal 5

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 

25 Behold, I have told you before. 

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 

28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

 

Seal 6 

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

 

The Rapture 

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 

Jesus made it clear that the rapture occurs after the Sixth Seal is opened. Why do so few believe it? Maybe it is because they have been taught the wrong thing for so long that they are unwilling to listen to what Jesus actually said.

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

The September 2025 Rapture: The Shocking Truth Behind the Prediction

 


There has been a lot of chatter about the rapture occurring on 9/23/2025—Rosh Hashanah. I can tell you without hesitation and with 100% confidence that the rapture will not occur on 9/23/2025. 

The reason that I can say that is because the rapture is not imminent and has never been imminent and will not be imminent until several things occur first, such as the takeover of the world by the antichrist, the abomination of desolation, and the mark of the beast. 

After those things occur, then and only then, will the rapture be imminent. Thus, the rapture will not occur on Rosh Hashanah this year, I can 100% guarantee it because of what God’s Word says. Here is one of the supporting Bible passages. 

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 

Our gathering unto Him is the rapture. 

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. 

The day of Christ/rapture is not at hand, not imminent. 

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 

Don’t be deceived these things must happen before the rapture; the antichrist must come to power, and perform the abomination of desolation. 

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2 Thes 2 

So, what do those verses say? Let’s sum it up; the rapture—coming of our Lord Jesus Christ—will not occur until after the abomination of desolation occurs when he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 

So, NO RAPTURE ON ROSH HASHANAH IN 2025! 

Now, what I see as the possible next major prophetic event, which may occur this fall and may be around Rosh Hashanah, is the dividing of the land of Israel. 

And if that occurs, my prophetic research has led me to believe that great earthquakes will occur throughout the world, even possibly the dividing of the USA—think New Madrid fault, as you listen to this bit of nostalgia. 


 

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

God Told Me This About the Rapture

 


And God said… 

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 

Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 1 Thes 4:15 – 5:11 

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 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; 

And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 

And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6:12-17 

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

The Most Neglected End Times Verse in the Entire Bible

 


There is a verse in the Bible that is vitally important to a proper understanding of an essential end times doctrine. The verse clearly states an end times fact that if heeded, would drastically change the theology of many. 

Let me explain; I recently had occasion to listen to a message about 1st Thessalonians by a pastor from a fundamental Bible believing independent Baptist church. His message was representative of what the vast majority of pastors and Christians believe. 

In his message he affirmed the following point: That the rapture occurs during the Day of the Lord period of time. He supported this assertion with the following verses. 

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 1 Thes 5:1,2 

He reasoned that the event that occurs as a thief in the night is the rapture and that it occurs as the first event in the period of time known as the Day of the Lord. 

I agree with his interpretation—the rapture is the first event of the Day of the Lord period of time. 

Another end times truth that he brought forth was that Christians will not be subject to God’s wrath. He supported this assertion from 1 Thes 5:9 

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thes 5:9 

I agree with his interpretation—Christians will not be subject to God’s wrath. 

Based on those two truths he and many thousands of pastors and Christians falsely reason that since the last 7 years is God’s wrath, that the rapture has to occur before the last 7 years begins. 

First off, the last 7 years is not entirely God’s wrath, which we will discuss later, but their logic fails to take into account what I call the most neglected end times verse in the Bible—Acts 2:20. 

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


 

That verse clearly establishes when the Day of the Lord begins, and the rapture occurs. That verse tells us that the Day of the Lord and rapture occurs after the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood. That end times truth is also given to us in the Old Testament. 

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. Joel 2:31 

Revelation 6 tells us that the sun is darkened, and the moon is turned to blood after the opening of Seal Six. 

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 

Thus, the Day of the Lord and the rapture has to occur after Seal Six is opened. 

Sound logic demands this, yet most pastors and Christians fail to incorporate the essential end times truth of Acts 2:20 into their rapture doctrine—thus the most neglected end times verse in the Bible IMHO is Acts 2:20. 

The end times truth that the Day of the Lord and the rapture occurs after the opening of Seal Six is even confirmed in the Seal 6 Passage. 

15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? 

What do those verses tell us is the reason why men hide? They hide because they see Jesus in the sky. This is what happens at the rapture, Jesus appears in the sky and the saints are caught up to meet the Lord in the air? 

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thes 4:17 

Earlier in this post I explained how the pastor incorrectly reasoned that the rapture occurred at the beginning of the last 7 years because he believed that all of the last 7 years consisted of God’s wrath. However, the passage above clearly states when God wrath begins—after the opening of Seal Six. 

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6:17 

The last 7 years is not all wrath, there is tribulation (Seals 1 to 4), Great tribulation (Seal 5), and God's wrath (Seal 6 to Armageddon.)

Conclusion: 

1. The rapture occurs as the first event of the Day of the Lord time period. (1 Thes 5:1,2) 

2. Christians will not be subject to God’s wrath. (1 Thes 5:9) 

3. The Day of the Lord occurs after the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood. (Acts 2:20) 

4. The Sun is darkened, and the Moon is turned to blood after the opening of Seal Six. (Rev 6:12) 

5. Therefore, the Day of the Lord and the rapture occurs after the opening of Seal Six.

 


6. This fact is confirmed by the appearance of Jesus in the sky and the beginning of God’s wrath after the opening of Seal Six. (Rev 6:15-17) 

Why do Christians choose not to believe this?

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

Is the SDG the Peace Treaty of Prophecy?

 


Is the SDG the end times peace treaty of Biblical prophecy? That is the question we will consider in this post. But let me preface this by saying, if it is, the implications are huge and far reaching. 

What is the SDG? 

It is an agreement among 191 nations of the world to work toward achieving 17 goals as pictured below.

 


SDG stands for Sustainable Development Goals. Their summary statement is “A shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future" Here are a few SDG links. 

SDG Overview 

Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 

Political declaration of the high-level political forum on

sustainable development convened under the auspices of the General Assembly—September 2023 

SDG 2023 main page 

Participating states 

Latest newsletter 

The SDG was first established in 2015 with 2030 as the year that they want all the goals met. They just met on September 18-19, 2023 and reaffirmed their commitment to reach their goals in 7 years—by 2030.


 

Is the SDG the peace treaty of prophecy? 

That is a very important question; is the SDG the peace treaty of prophecy? Pretribbers would say no, because they believe the antichrist will make the peace treaty of prophecy at the beginning of the last 7 years and then the rapture will occur at the same time or just before. So, they would reason that since the rapture has not occurred that this cannot be the peace treaty of prophecy. 

I disagree, I am not 100% sure, but I believe it is highly possible that the SDG could indeed be the peace treaty of prophecy. Here is why I believe this. First, let’s take a look at what God’s Word says about the peace treaty and the antichrist. 

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Dan 9:27 

Pretribbers interpret this verse to say that the antichrist establishes a 7-year treaty at the beginning of the last 7 years, which they call the tribulation, and in the middle of the 7 years they say the antichrist commits the abomination of desolation. However, when you consider the meaning of the Hebrew words an entirely different interpretation appears, as this excerpt from The Coming Epiphany shows. 

Roy Reinhold, author of The Day of the Lord and an expert in Hebrew, has this to say about the verse: 

The “he” is the same person throughout the verse. Higbir is a hifil 3ms perfect verb, and the Qal root verb is gavar meaning “to be strong, to conquer.” A Hifil is “causative,” and so in this case the usage is “and he caused to be made strong” a covenant for the many for one period of seven. In no way does this imply that the “he” the antichrist originates the peace treaty. What it clearly shows is that the antichrist comes along after the peace treaty is in effect and he agrees with it and enforces its provisions. 

So an analysis of the Hebrew brings out the fact that, when the antichrist is revealed and comes to power in the midst of the 70th Week, the peace treaty will already be in effect and “he,” the antichrist, will merely confirm and or strengthen it. Thus, a more accurate translation of the verse would read: “And he will strengthen the covenant that was made with many for a week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.” 

So, if the antichrist will not be the one to make the peace treaty, who is? The Hebrew rendering of this verse tells us the peace treaty will be made with “the many.” This suggests that the treaty will probably be the result of an effort by many nations… 

Thus, with this interpretation, it is possible that the SDG is the peace treaty that the antichrist will in the future strengthen during the last 7 years. And the verse further tells us that after he strengthens the treaty he will perform the abomination of desolation. The Bible further reveals after that he will take over the world and the Seal 5 persecution of Jews and Christians, which includes the mark of the beast, will occur. Then next is our deliverance at the Seal 6 rapture. After which God’s wrath is poured out upon the world. 

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 1 Thes 5:3 

I also realize that it is possible that another treaty will be the one that the antichrist will strengthen. But at present the SDG definitely fits the bill. This is especially true in light of all the heavenly signs that are pointing to the definite possibility that we are in the last 7 years and the heavenly sign of the woman clothed with the sun giving birth to child. 

Here is another interesting fact; S = 19, D = 4, and G = 7, so, SDG = 1947. That is a very interesting number as explained in The Dollar Code. 

19.47 is the latitude north and south of pyramids found all around the world and on Mars. It is also; the latitude of areas abundant in volcanic activity on celestial bodies, the latitude of the swirling spots on Jupiter and Neptune, the latitude of many sunspots, the year of the Roswell incident, the year that Aleister Crowley and Nicholas Roerich died, the year that Admiral Byrd took his flight to the inner earth, and the degrees of the points of the star of David when placed in a circle and aligned with North and South. 

 It is also on the dollar bill. If you draw lines from the middle of the seal on the left or right to a point just below the dots in the fancy design, the lines are approximately at 19.47 degrees from the horizontal. 

Thus, I believe that 1947 and or 19.47 is an important end times number. I also had some beyond coincidence experiences with the number 1947; maybe God was giving me a clue that this is a very important end times number. You can read about it in this post. 

I Believe I Just Received a Harbinger of the End of the World! 

So, is the SDG the end times peace treaty that the antichrist will come along and strengthen? I would say that it is a definite possibility. And if it is, then it implies that we are in the last 7 years and that the pretribulation rapture theory is not correct.

A Conversation About the Timing of the Rapture




One of the most controversial and hotly debated questions among Christians in the recent past has been the timing of the rapture. It is very important to have a correct rapture view—very important. Below is a hypothetical rapture conservation which I hope will help Christians come to a better understanding of the rapture’s timing.

Question: Do you believe the scriptures, God’s Holy Word, the Bible, are the final authority in all matters of doctrine?

Answer: Yes, of course I do.

Question: According to the scriptures below, is the rapture part of an event known as the Day of the Lord?

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 1 Thes 4:15-5:2

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

Answer: Yes, I see that the rapture is part of the Day of the Lord event.

Question: According to the scripture below, what happens 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

Answer: Well, it says that the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood before the Day of the Lord begins.

Question: According to the scripture below, when is the sun darkened and the moon turned to blood?

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

Answer: The sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood after the Sixth Seal is opened.

Question: Does scripture tell us that there Is any other time during the end times that the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood?

Answer: No.

Statement: We can therefore conclude that according to scriptures, the rapture, as an event of the Day of the Lord, must occur after the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood, which we know occurs after the Sixth Seal is opened.

Question: Do you agree with this statement?

Answer: I am not sure, that is a new concept to me, I have never had it explained to me like that before. I have always believed that the rapture will occur at the beginning, before Seal 1.

Question: I understand what you are saying. Let me show you a confirmation that the rapture occurs after Seal 6 is opened. According to the scriptures below, what do people see after the Sixth Seal is opened?

12 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;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Answer: They see the Lord.

Question: From your knowledge of scripture, during the end times when do people see the Lord?

Answer: At the rapture and at Armageddon.

Question: Which one of the two is the passage above referring to?

Answer: The Sixth Seal does not involve Armageddon, so it would have to be the rapture.

So you have affirmed;

1. The rapture is part of the day of the Lord.

2. That the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood before the day of the lord.

3. The sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood after the opening of Seal 6.

Therefore sound logic dictates that the rapture/day of the Lord event occurs after Seal 6 is opened and the sun is darkened and the moon turns to blood. And to confirm this you have also just agreed that Jesus appears in the sky after the opening of seal 6 and that this is not at Armageddon, so it has to be at the rapture.

Thus; you have just logically concluded and thereby proved that the rapture does not occur until after the opening of Seal 6. What do you believe now about the timing of the rapture?

Answer: __________________________.

So if the rapture will not happen until Seal 6 is opened, that means that all that are alive at the time will be faced with living through Seals 1 to 5. And there is a possibility that the Seals may already have been opened.

Are We Hearing the Hoof Beats of the 4 Horses of the Apocalypse?

Remember; the truth shall set you free.

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
