I know When Jesus Will Appear!

 

Most Biblical theologians will tell us that Jesus will appear two times during the end times. He will appear once at the rapture when He comes the clouds, and once at Armageddon when He comes to the earth. 

The Biblical evidence for His first end times appearance in the clouds at the rapture is recorded in three of the Gospels. 

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. Mt 24 

26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 

27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven… 

32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Mark 13 

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21 

The Son of Man—Jesus—comes to the clouds at an unknown time and He gathers His elect—that is the rapture. This is confirmed in each passage with a “one was taken one was left” scenario as exampled in the Mt 24 passage. 

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. Mt 24 

This confirms the fact that when Jesus appears in the clouds and gathers the saints it is the rapture. This fact is also repeated in other places in the New Testament such as 1 Thes 4:17. 

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. 

So, the first time Jesus appears during the end times is at the rapture when He comes to the clouds. The other time Jesus appears is when He comes back, not to the clouds, but to the earth at Armageddon. This is when Jesus rides down out of heaven on a white horse along with the saints to defeat the antichrist and his armies. After the defeat of the evil forces Jesus will set up His Millennial kingdom and rule and reign on the earth. 

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war… 

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean… 

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Rev 19 

So, those are the two times that Jesus will appear during the end times—once He will come to the clouds and once He will come to the earth. 

Now, consider this question, how about the timing of these events, when in the end times will these events occur? 

The second time Jesus appears during the end times is an easy one to figure out, He appears at Armageddon, which is at the end of the last 7 years and just before the Millennium begins. 

When will the first time Jesus appears in the end times occur? That is, when in the end times will Jesus come to the clouds and the rapture occur? 

Ask yourself this question, besides His appearance at Armageddon, does scripture specifically state any other time in the book of Revelation that Jesus appears and men see Him? Yes, it does! 

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: Rev 6 

Why do the men of the earth say hide us from the face of Jesus? They say that because they just saw Him appear in the sky! That is the first time that Jesus appears in the end times—that is the rapture—and everyone sees Him in the sky. 

And what proceeds this appearance of Jesus in the sky? The opening of the Sixth Seal, a great earthquake, the sun darkened, the moon to blood, stars fall, the heavens departing as a scroll, and every island and mountain being moved. 

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: Rev 6 

And God does not only reveal that the first appearance of Jesus and the rapture occurs after the events of the sixth seal, but that timing is also revealed in all the passages in the gospels that have Jesus appearing in the clouds and our gathering to Him at the rapture. 

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: 

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. Mt 24 

24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 

25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 

26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Mk 13 

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Lk 21 

God makes it abundantly clear that the first appearance of Jesus, which is to the clouds and involves the rapture, occurs after the Sixth Seal is opened. This first appearance of Jesus is the beginning of the time period known as the Day of the Lord. 

And here is another confirmation that the rapture occurs after the sixth seal is opened. Consider the ramifications of this verse. 

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 

God says in that verse that the events of the sixth seal occur before the Day of the Lord, which includes the rapture. Therefore, the Day of the Lord and the rapture occur after the sixth seal is opened. 

So, God has revealed to us the timing of the first appearance of Jesus in the clouds at the rapture in five separate Biblical passages. And all five passages confirm that His appearance and the rapture occur after the events of the sixth seal. 

In other words, God has made it abundantly clear that the rapture occurs after the sixth seal is opened.

 

And we see a further confirmation of this fact in the chapter that immediately follows the Revelation sixth seal passage. 

9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;… 

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Rev 7 

They are the raptured saints, and they appear in heaven after the opening of the sixth seal. 

Conclusion: Jesus will appear two times during the end times, once to the clouds at the rapture and once to the earth at Armageddon. The first will be after the opening of the sixth seal, the second at the end of the last 7 years. 

Why won’t most Christians believe these facts? Is it because they will be ridiculed, shunned, looked down upon, kicked out of their church? Isn’t it more important to believe what God’s Word says regardless of anything? 

I hope you realize there can be serious consequences to not believing what God reveals in His Word. And God has revealed that the rapture will not occur until after the opening of the sixth seal.  …the truth shall make you free. John 8:32 

And why does it matter what you believe about the rapture? Suppose one day you are faced with not being able to buy or sell if you do not allow yourself to be chipped, and people reason, well the rapture has not occurred yet, so this cannot be the mark. Hmm…the truth shall make you free. John 8:32 

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

More 4/19/2025 and 9/30/2028 Synchronicities Updated: Prophecy Alert

 

Here are some of the latest discoveries by Steve Wilkin of Jesus Second Coming 2028 pointing to 4/19/2025 and 9/30/2028. More at the link.

33 minutes and 48 seconds = 2028 seconds 

The sum of the divisors of 3348 = 8960 

8960 = 10 x 896 

Deuteronomy 32:30 is verse number 896 of Book and verse number 5789 of the Bible. 

Day of Year 10 in 5789 Jewish Year is 9/30/2028. 

SUPERBOWLS 58 and 51 are the only two to go into Sudden Death overtime. 

58 x 51 = 930+2028 

58 + 51= 109 = 109^th day of year is 4/19 

ATARAH # 5851 in Strong's concordance and only appears once in the Bible in 1st Chronicles 2:26 which vs has a gematria count of 2444 

2444 = 1222 + 1222. 

419 + 2025 = 2444 

From vs #930 of Psalms (Psalms 65:9) its 1222 verses to last vs in Bible with 2028 gematria count (PSALM 122:2.) 

Will 4/19/2025 be the start of the Great Tribulation? Time will tell.

Update: PROPHECY ALERT!

The Apalachee High School Shooting and the Coming Sudden Death of America in 2028

 

Prophetic researcher Steve Wilkin, whose work has been featured on this blog in the past, sent me some interesting information that I would like to pass onto you. The information points to 9/30/2028 as the date of the sudden destruction and end of America the Babylon.

Let’s start with the tragic Apalachee school shooting—may our prayers be with those who are suffering. Here is some of what he sent me.

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 1:7

Wow those are some amazing syncs and Steve firmly believes that they point to 9/30/2028 as the date of America’s final destruction.

Steve further explains this date conjecture in this article, which was linked in his email.

https://www.fivedoves.com/letters/jun2024/stevew630.htm

Here are a few tidbits from the article that involve the only two sudden death super bowl games, super bowl 51 and 58, which point to the “sudden death” destruction of America the Babylon on 9/30/2028.

      See prior article >  https://www.fivedoves.com/letters/feb2024/stevew218-2.htm  <

 Here is a new revelation of just how precisely these two SUPERBOWLS are encoded in the Bible.

      https://www.newjerusalem.org/3428?from=Search(3428)   https://www.newjerusalem.org/2522?from=Search(2522)

Wow, that is pretty amazing. So, as you can see there is a lot of data pointing to 9/30/2028 as the date of America’s destruction and I further conjecture and have put forth previously that 2028 is also looking like it will be the year of Armageddon.

Let me explain; if you take a look at the Jewish calendar for the fall feasts of 2028 you will see that Rosh Hashanah begins on 9/20-21/2028, the Day of Atonement on 9/29-30/2028, and the Tabernacles on 10/4-5/2028.

My prophetic research has led me to believe that since the major redemptive events of Christ’s first coming aligned with and fulfilled the spring feasts of the Lord, that subsequently the major events of Christ’s second coming will also align with and fulfill the fall feasts of the Lord.

With this in mind, and not going into too much detail, I have aligned Armageddon with the second day of Rosh Hashanah on 9/22/28 and the first day of the Millennium on the first day of Tabernacles on 10/4-5/2028. And the day of Atonement—9/29-30/2028 is in-between those two dates. For a more detailed explanation, and what events will most likely align with the Day of Atonement, see The Coming Epiphany.

In light of this data, we therefore need to ponder and ask ourselves the question; is the Apalachee school shooting and the two sudden death super bowl football games a witness to 2028 as the year when Christ will return to the earth at Armageddon, and the year when America the Babylon will suffer her final destruction, and the year that the Millennial kingdom will begin?

If so, then other Biblical date parameters infer that the antichrist will take over the world in 2025 and the great tribulation will begin—Seal 5. The rapture will occur after Seal 6 has been opened and will be our rescue from the great tribulation.

BTW, there is other data to suggest that 2025 and 2028 are the prophetic years of importance.

2028 and Armageddon

Is 2028 “the end of the world,” will the antichrist arise in 2025? Time will tell.

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

No One Knows the Day or Hour of What?

Have you heard that before; “no one knows the day or hour.” But what is it referring to; no one knows the day or hour of what?

Let’s examine the passages and then we will answer the question. 

Matthew 24:36

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

Matthew 24:50

The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

Matthew 25:13

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Mark 13:32

But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

In reading the passages in context, it is easy to see that Jesus clearly taught that no one knows the day or hour of His return.  But what return is He referring to; His return to the clouds at the rapture, or His return to the earth at Armageddon?

Let’s look at the Matthew passage in context, and the answer is easily seen.

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.

Again, it is easy to see that Jesus is referring to the rapture when He says no one knows the day or hour—one taken, the other left. This is a truth that I readily affirm and teach; no one knows the day or hour of Christ’s return to the clouds at the rapture.

So if Jesus was referring to the rapture when He said no one knows the day or hour of His return, can we know the day of his second coming at Armageddon at the end of the 7 years?

Yes; absolutely! Think about it; we know that the antichrist takes over the world at the midpoint of the last 7 years. So when that occurs we will know that the Second Coming at Armageddon will occur 3.5 years later. Then all who see the antichrist take over the world can know that Armageddon will be 3.5 years later, and thus all will know the date of the Second Coming of the Lord.

Further if you apply end times parameters, such as the fulfilling of the fall feasts, and that they will align with Second Coming events, one can further conjecture a start date for the last 7 years. All the while, we will still not know the day or hour of Christ’s return at the rapture.  This, as we have already established, will occur at an unknown time after the midpoint and before the end.

Some Christians cannot understand this and label anyone who suggests a possible end times chronology as heretical. In The Coming Epiphany I present the following chart that suggests possible start and end dates for the last 7 years based on aligning Armageddon with the Feast of Trumpets.

Again; this chart aligns Armageddon with the Feast of Trumpets and thus presents possible dates for the start of the 70^th Week—the last 7 years.

 

Further there are several end times parameters that have manifested themselves in recent months, and if we apply those parameters the following three “most likely” scenarios are the result. For a full explanation of these scenarios see the post; Calculations for the "End of Days".

Beginning of 70th Week	1	Jul 4, 2016

From the comments; here is a chart showing the parameters.

Again these are hypothetical most likely scenarios. When we see the Seals opened we will know for sure that we are in the last 7 years.  And when we see the antichrist take over the world we will know that Armageddon will be 1260 days or 42 months, or 3.5 years later. And at the same time we will still not know the day or hour of Jesus’s return, because he will return at an unknown time between the midpoint and Armageddon after the Sixth Seal is opened. BTW; Jesus CANNOT come back today! If you do not believe me, maybe you will believe the church fathers; What the Church Fathers Taught About the antichrist and the Rapture
 
No one knows the day or hour of the rapture, but at some point in time we will know the day and hour of Christ’s second coming at Armageddon.

 

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
