Prophecy Watch: Beware of the Last Golden Gate Crossing on Thanksgiving Day Updated

 

For the last time in many decades, on 11/28/2019, the moon is going to go through the Golden Gate flanked by Jupiter and Saturn. In the past bad events have happened at similar crossings. We know that the evil forces aligned with satan like to do things in alignment with the stars—as above, so below.

For a full explanation of this Golden Gate concept see the post:  The Crescent Moon, Jupiter, Saturn Out of Retrograde and The Golden Gate.

Therefore since this is the last time in many decades that this will happen, the time period around this crossing should be watched for the possibility of a major event(s).
 

In America 11/28/19 is Thanksgiving Day. Several people in the past have had dreams about Thanksgiving Day events.
 

Rick Wiles daughter had a dream that involved cranberry sauce and great destruction coming against the USA. If you are not from America, cranberry sauce is a typical Thanksgiving Day dinner item. Note: cranberry sauce was not specifically mentioned in this account but in a previous account. Here is a link to the 10/17/14 podcast, the pertinent info starts at about the 17:50 mark.

Here is a comment left by Grooms Day Prepper on a recent post about a Thanksgiving Day event:
 

I recall hearing a man call in to Trunews a while back about a vision of a Thanksgiving Day attack along the southern border. The perfect time to attack with many National Guard and Army men on vacation. They over ran the bases, seized the weapons, put up road blocks. Unleashed hell upon all the highways. The way this man told his vision was very feasible and a well thought out military strategy. Could this be the year?
 

Here is a dream account regarding Thanksgiving that I just ran across.
 

Patti Young –“I was given a vision 5 years ago. I was with all of his family eating Thanksgiving dinner. And as we were there, not on exactly Thanksgiving. A major earthquake struck all along the Western coast. It was a 9.1, everything almost destroyed. And my children……….And in this vision, on my left, were 2 Christmas pictures up on the wall. I knew in my spirit, it wasn’t quite Christmas…..I’m praying and asking the Lord to lead me, us. I’m in Southern California, Riverside.”
 

“It struck after Thanksgiving, and before Christmas, the entire coastline destroyed. And shortly after, I had another vision just before I was falling asleep. The statue of Liberty came before me, and then it blew up into hundreds of pieces, and soon after a huge tsunami destroyed New York and parts of the East coast. I saw water and faces of people drowning, I heard them screaming and saw terror in their eyes. Both coasts destroyed. “
 

Speaking of West Coast earthquakes; here is a large earthquake warning for the West Coast. (Note: In the video he provides Black Star alignment dates and says that the alignment dates have been processing, thus we will probably have to move our Nibiru earthquake alignment watch dates.) 
 

 

I have not had much time to check date syncs but here are a few for Thanksgiving Day, 11/28/2019.
 

From the possible start date of the 70^th Week on 10/19/19 to 11/28/19 is 40 days—“yet 40 days and judgment.”
 

From the South American eclipse on 7/2/19 to 11/28/19 is 150 days or 3600 hours or 216,000 minutes. (All the numbers 1 to 36 add to 666, and 6x6x6=216) And on that day it will be 13013013 seconds.
 

From the sign of the woman clothed with the sun on 9/23/17 to 11/28/19; on that day it will be 19111 hours.
 

From the Great American eclipse on 8/21/17 to 11/28/19; on that day it will be 19911 hours.
 

From Election Day on 11/8/16 to 11/28/19 is 1116 days or 3 years 3 weeks.
 

From the installation of the Bel Archway in NYC on 9/19/16 to 11/28/19 is 1166 days.

From the Japan earthquake on 3/11/11 to 11/28/19 is 8 years 8 months and 18 days.

From when President Obama sang “Bye Bye Miss American Pie” in front of the Lincoln Memorial on 1/18/2009 to 11/28/19 is 3966 days or 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days, or 130 months and 10 days or 130 months, 1 week, 3 days.
 

From Roe v Wade decision on 1/22/73 to 11/28/19 is 17,111 days.
 

From 7/4/1776 to 11/28/19 is 88,900 days
 

11/28/19 is day # 332 of the year and on 11/28/19 there are 33 days left in the year.
 

It has been reported that as of 11/19/19 the USS Lincoln has entered into the Persian Gulf. Here is an excerpt from a recent post regarding the USS Lincoln.
 

Ask yourself this question; why would a President of the USA stand in front of the Lincoln Memorial and sing Bye Bye Miss American Pie—this will be the day that we die? Hmm…
 

Was it perhaps a signal to a future event that would involve the beginning of the death of America and have a Lincoln connection?  And what Lincoln associated event could bring about the destruction of America?
 

Yesterday I just so happened to read an article at The Big The One that featured several people’s dreams about the destruction of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Lincoln. Here is one of the featured dreams, you can read the rest at this link; The war in Iran will begin after the USS Abraham Lincoln is flooded.
 

Caroline Diadem, June 7, 2019: I saw a war in the oceans - there was some kind of small fleet, and around there were small motor boats.  And there was a conflict outlined.
 

The voice that led me said “Soviet military,” and then added: “Aircraft carrier Lincoln.”
 

And when the voice told me this, I saw that Lincoln was drowning and felt that Iran was somehow involved in this.  Then I heard “submarines,” and my voice said not that they were Russian submarines.
 

Then I saw a huge port area, where there was a kind of parking for military equipment.  I saw a lot of soldiers in NATO uniforms or something.  But then something caught my attention in the sky - it looked like a bright and beautiful cloud formation, which caused me delight.
 

And suddenly I realized that it was an atomic bomb that exploded right above this parking lot.  Everything burned out there and then the voice showed me: “Subversion”.  That is, I think that this will be some kind of sabotage or double-bottom production.
 

There are more Lincoln dreams at the link, but the point is that many have had dreams about the U.S.S. Lincoln being attacked, and Iran has threatened to do the same and produced propaganda films featuring the destruction of an American aircraft carrier.
 

What does all of this mean? I do believe that President Obama singing that song at the Lincoln Memorial is a signal to the destruction of America.
 

End of excerpt.
 

The sinking of an aircraft carrier or two may have been signaled in I Pet Goat II. BTW; from when the USS Lincoln was commissioned on 11/11/89 to 11/28/19 is 30 years 18 days or 360 months and 18 days.

 

Now put this into the equation; In the South China Sea, an underwater explosion of 10-20 kilotons was recorded.  UPDATE No. 3.
 

That is the info I have at this time, if you know of any other Thanksgiving Day 2019 info, please comment below.  Whether or not anything of major importance will occur on Thanksgiving Day is yet to be seen. Remember syncs do not mean that an event will occur only that it may. Will the evil forces aligned with satan use the Golden Gate crossing to bring a destruction upon the world, or will they let it go?

Update 11/26/19

This was just reported by DEBKA

Iran poised to strike US/Israeli targets. US forces gear up for action. USS Lincoln carrier enters the Gulf

The US and Iran ramped up their preparations for direct military engagement on Monday, Nov. 25: A top Iranian general’s threatened to destroy the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia, and the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Force moved into position opposite central Iran’s coastline..
 

Let's not forget that the Psalm codes suggest that we are in the year that we will see war and or its aftermath; The Psalm Codes: End Times Calculations 2019 to 2026

Jesus CANNOT Come Back Today!

 

It really bothers, and saddens me when I hear Christians say that Jesus can come back today. HE CANNOT! Certain things must occur before Jesus can come back at the rapture. Those things have not happened yet, therefore Jesus cannot come back today or any other day until those things occur.

God clearly tells us this; the Thessalonians basically had this same issue; they either thought they missed the rapture, or that it was about to occur. Here is what God through the apostle Paul told them.

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

What does God say? Don’t be shaken or troubled that the Day of Christ is at hand. In other words the Day of Christ, which is the rapture event, is NOT at hand—NOT IMMINENT! God told them the rapture cannot happen yet. God then further tells them what must occur before the rapture is at hand—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. 2 Thes 2

What does God say must happen before the rapture takes place at the Day of Christ? The “falling away” must occur first, the man of sin—the antichrist—be revealed and the abomination of desolation occur—proclaims himself to be god in the Temple.

1.   Falling away.

2.   antichrist revealed.

3.   Abomination of desolation.

All of that must occur before the day of Christ—the rapture—is at hand or imminent! Those things have not occurred, therefore there is no imminence, and Christ cannot come back today. But what is imminent is the awakening that many Christians are going to have when they find themselves in the midst of major end times events totally unprepared—the church is asleep.

So when you hear someone say or infer that Jesus can come back today try to help them understand that He cannot. BTW; the belief in Imminence is a major pillar to the pre-tribulation rapture theory, when that pillar is removed the theory falls apart. Here is an excerpt from The Coming Epiphany concerning this.

What About Imminence?

Yet another argument put forth by pre-trib adherents is their belief in the doctrine of the imminent return of Christ. They reason that since the apostles were awaiting the return of Christ with great expectancy—and that they may even have believed that Christ could return and the rapture could occur at any time—that nothing has to occur prophetically before the rapture can take place. This includes the peace treaty or any parts of the 70th Week of Daniel.

This is a doctrine that was shown to be false by the apostle Paul himself. In 2 Thessalonians 2:1–3, Paul had to address the Thessalonians concerning a doctrinal problem they had regarding the timing of the Second Coming:

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

The Thessalonians falsely believed that the Day of the Lord and the rapture were ready to occur (or had already occurred) and that they missed it and were in the Day of the Lord period. Paul told them that they did not miss it. He also told them about two signs that must occur beforehand, namely the great falling away and the revealing of the antichrist.^[1] We have also elaborated on three other signs that need to occur before the Day of the Lord or the Day of Christ: the moon being turned to blood, the sun being darkened, and the prophet Elijah returning to earth. Therefore, since God has made it clear that certain things must occur before the rapture occurs at the Day of the Lord, and since those things have not happened yet, there can be no doctrine of imminence. Christ’s return will not be imminent until the signs mentioned above have first occurred.

Van Kampen elaborates on this point:

The return of Christ has never been truly imminent and will never be imminent until the great tribulation of antichrist begins and the surrounding Gentile nations come together against Jerusalem in the valley of Jehoshaphat. Only then are the elect of God told to look for the sign of Christ’s coming which will be seen in the heavens, but only after the earth is first plunged into darkness by the sign of the end of the age.^[2]

So while the first-century church, as recorded in the New Testament writings, showed a great expectation and anticipation of the return of Christ, the scriptures themselves tell us that the rapture cannot occur at any time, but only after the signs are fulfilled.

End of excerpt

I hope you realize that Jesus CANNOT come back today; after we see the falling away, the abomination of desolation, and the antichrist take over the world, then we can say the rapture is imminent. And when you see Seal 6 opened—the sun darkened, the moon turned to blood, and the stars fall—then go outside and look up, because Jesus will appear in the sky and bring you home.

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

Not sure that you will go to heaven? The end times are knocking on the door and so is Jesus. He wants to save you, will you let him in? Find out what you must do to be saved, click here.

[1] Some, in their attempts to bolster the pre-trib position, have claimed that the phrase “falling away” comes from the Greek word rapturem and is better translated “rapture.” Thus, they argue that the verse says that the rapture must precede the coming of the antichrist. In my opinion, this is nothing more than an attempt to make the Word of God say something that it does not. The word used in the Greek New Testament is apostasia, or “falling away,” from which the English term “apostasy” is derived. “Falling away” means to backslide. Backslide from what? From the truth.[1] Thus, the phrase “falling away” means just that—a falling away from the truth; and the verse tells us that this must take place before the rapture and the Day of the Lord.

What the Church Fathers Taught About the antichrist and the Rapture

Church father Justin Martyr

At this moment my heart is very heavy and burdened for my brothers and sisters in the Lord who are asleep to what is coming upon the earth—the end times. Just tonight I was crying out to God in tears for God to awaken those who are asleep in the church.

You see, the problem is that the rapture will not happen at the beginning of the last 7 years, it will happen after the Sixth Seal is opened and the moon is turned to blood. And obviously the Sixth Seal will not be opened until after the Fifth Seal is opened. Seal 5 is the persecution of Jews and Christians that occurs after the antichrist takes over the world at the midpoint, after which no one will be able to buy or sell without taking the mark.

So there is the problem, there is why my heart is burdened, because the vast majority of Christians and well-meaning preachers are going to wake up one day experiencing the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse raging around them, see the antichrist takeover the world, and they are going to be totally unprepared and then faced without being able to buy or sell.

That is why my heart is heavy—Christians are going to be faced with war being waged against them by the antichrist and they will be caught off guard and they and their families will suffer for it.

If you do not believe me, I hope you will believe what the church fathers say about the persecution of the antichrist and the timing of the rapture. Below is an excerpt from The Coming Epiphany that deals with this.

Chapter 5

Why Does It Matter?

… I pray that this book would be used to awaken God’s children to these truths so that they can be prepared for what lies ahead. It is not important what man-made theological position you hold. What is important is what the Word of God says. And the scriptures clearly tell us that the rapture occurs after the sixth seal is opened.

Here is a summary of the pertinent facts that lead us to that conclusion:

1.               The rapture occurs at the Day of the Lord event (1 Thess. 4:15-5:2, 2 Thess. 2:1–2).

2.               The moon must be turned to blood before the Day of the Lord occurs (Joel 3:30).

3.               The moon is turned to blood at the sixth seal (Rev. 6:12).

 

These are three undisputable scriptural facts that can only lead to one conclusion—the rapture occurs at the Day of the Lord after the sixth seal is opened.

This rapture view has been termed the “pre-wrath” rapture view. It is the only view that agrees with all of the prophetic scriptures. In contrast, the pre-trib view contradicts some very critical prophetic scriptures, such as the moon must be turned to blood, the antichrist revealed, and the great falling away all must occur before the Day of the Lord/rapture event. It has been shown that these events all occur during the 70th Week of Daniel and not before. Thus, the pre-trib rapture view does not agree with all of scripture.

Even Walvoord, a strong pre-trib promoter, says this about the pre-trib theory: “The fact is that neither posttribulationism nor pretribulationism is an explicit teaching of the Scriptures. The Bible does not, in so many words, state either.”^[1] So Walvoord himself admits that the pre-trib rapture view is not an explicit teaching of scripture.

In fact, if you study the writings of the early church fathers, there is overwhelming evidence to show that the vast majority believed that Christians would not be raptured until after the persecution of the antichrist, which we know would place the rapture after the Abomination of Desolation. H. L. Nigro, in Before God’s Wrath: The Bible’s Answer to the Timing of the Rapture, has an appendix devoted to key passages from the early church writings.

Here are just four of the earliest quotes:

O unreasoning men! understanding not what has been proved by all these passages, that two advents of Christ have been announced: the one, in which He is set forth as suffering, inglorious, dishonored, and crucified; but the other, in which He shall come from heaven with glory, when the man of apostasy, who speaks strange things against the Most High, shall venture to do unlawful deeds on the earth against us the Christians, who, having learned the true worship of God from the law, and the word which went forth from Jerusalem by means of the apostles of Jesus, have fled for safety to the God of Jacob and God of Israel…. —Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho [150-165 AD]

Those, therefore, who continue steadfast, and are put through the fire, will be purified by means of it. For as gold casts away its dross, so also will ye cast away all sadness and straitness, and will be made pure so as to fit into the building of the tower. But the white part is the age that is to come, in which the elect of God will dwell, since those elected by God to eternal life will be spotless and pure. Wherefore cease not speaking these things into the ears of the saints. This then is the type of the great tribulation that is to come. —The Pastor of Hermas [160 AD]

It therefore behooves us, who inquire much concerning events at hand, to search diligently into those things which are able to save us. Let us then utterly flee from all the works of iniquity, lest these should take hold of us; and let us hate the error of the present time, that we may set our love on the world to come: let us not give loose reins to our soul, that it should have power to run with sinners and the wicked, lest we become like them. The final stumbling block (or source of danger) approaches.… We take earnest heed in these last days; for the whole [past] time of your faith will profit you nothing, unless now in this wicked time we also withstand coming sources of danger, as becometh the sons of God. That the Black One may find no means of entrance, let us flee from every vanity, let us utterly hate the works of the way of wickedness. Take heed, lest resting at our ease, as those who are the called [of God], we should fall asleep in our sins, and the wicked prince, acquiring power over us, should thrust us away from the kingdom of the Lord. —The Epistle of Barnabas [100-120 AD]                                                                                                  

Watch for your life’s sake. Let not your lamps be quenched, nor your loins unloosed; but be ye ready, for ye know not the hour in which our Lord cometh. But often shall ye come together, seeking the things which are befitting to your souls: for the whole time of your faith will not profit you, if ye be not made perfect in the last time. For in the last days false prophets and corrupters shall be multiplied, and the sheep shall be turned into wolves, and love shall be turned into hate; for when lawlessness increaseth, they shall hate and persecute and betray one another, and then shall appear the world-deceiver as Son of God, and shall do signs and wonders, and the earth shall be delivered into his hands, and he shall do iniquitous things which have never yet come to pass since the beginning. Then shall the creation of men come into the fire of trial, and many shall be made to stumble and shall perish; but they that endure in their faith shall be saved from under the curse itself. And then shall appear the signs of the truth; first, the sign of an out-spreading in heaven; then the sign of the sound of the trumpet; and the third, the resurrection of the dead; yet not of all, but as it is said: The Lord shall come and all His saints with Him. Then shall the world see the Lord coming upon the clouds of heaven. —The Didache (The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles) [100-120 AD]

Thus, it is apparent that the early Church fathers expected the Church to be persecuted by the antichrist during the end-times and then rescued via the rapture from the persecution they would undergo. This is what the pre-wrath view also states—that the church will be raptured after the opening of the sixth seal out of the great tribulation, which will be instilled at the hands of the antichrist.

Many modern-day “church fathers” have also believed that the church would be subject to persecution at the hands of the antichrist. One famous one was Spurgeon:

In a recent article published by Dennis M. Swanson entitled “The Millenial Position of Spurgeon,” he concludes that ‘despite claims to the contrary, his [Spurgeon’s] position was most closely identifiable with that of historic premillennialism in teaching the church would experience the tribulation, the Millennial Kingdom would be the culmination of God’s program.’ Later in the text, Swanson goes on to state that the ‘Key features of historic premillennialism are twofold: (1) the kingdom will be the culmination of the church age and (2) the “rapture” will follow the tribulation, with the church going through the tribulation under the protection of God….Spurgeon fits most consistently in the “historic or covenantal premillennial system.’ In other words, Spurgeon too, by definition, ignore [d] the doctrine of imminency of Jesus’ return, seeing the church facing the persecution of antichrist before the return of Christ. In doing this he also ‘rejects the pretribulation rapture of the church.^[2]  

So if the early church fathers—and even more modern-day “fathers”—did not believe in a pre-trib rapture, when did the pre-trib belief arise? There are three candidates to whom are credited with the origin of the pre-trib rapture theory: John Darby (one of the founders of the Plymouth Brethren movement), Edward Irving (thrown out of the Presbyterian Church and started the Apostolic Catholic Church), and finally Margaret MacDonald (a 15-year-old Catholic girl who was supposedly miraculously healed and given a vision of the “secret” rapture so popular with today’s pretribulation rapture teachers.)

In summarizing the development of the pretrib doctrine, H. L. Nigro says this:

The development of the pretribulation rapture is generally attributed to John Darby of the Plymouth Brethren, who formalized the theory around 1830. Prior to this time, the return of Christ was seen as a singular event. Jesus would return to earth once, to rapture His Church, to redeem lost Israel, and to judge the wicked and rebellious world, and this was seen either as a midtribulational or posttribulational event. Darby was the first to formally theorize that Jesus would return in two stages: first in spiritual form to rapture the Church, then in bodily form seven years later to judge the world. This allowed Jesus to return triumphantly at Armageddon while keeping the Church out of the 70th Week..^[3]

So it is Darby to whom most attribute the pre-trib position. Another founder of the Plymouth Brethren had this to say about the teachings of Darby as elaborated on by Van Kampen:

It should be noted, however, that Dr. Samuel P. Tregelles, the renowned conservative Greek scholar of the nineteenth century (the author of six separate works on translation), considered one of the founding fathers of the Plymouth Brethren Church, strongly disagreed with John Nelson Darby on the position when it first appeared in England. Dr. Tregelles believed in a face-value hermeneutic, and he knew the original languages like few others of his time. In his book The Hope of Christ’s Second Coming (pp. 74-82), first published in 1864, he denounced the pre-tribulation Rapture position as being sentimental and emotional and without a thread of biblical support. He stated boldly that the pre-tribulation “doctrine of the coming of Christ [is] not taught in the Word of God….This whole system stands in distinct contradiction of what the Scripture reveals” (p. 32).^[4]

At the best the pre-trib rapture theory had a dubious beginning and most likely gained in popularity because it was “easy believism” and a lot more pleasant to think about than enduring the sorrows and persecutions of the first five seals.

Even though the pre-trib position is a relatively new teaching and the early church fathers clearly expected the Church to enter the 70th Week and endure the persecution of the antichrist, and even though the pre-trib position is not an explicit teaching of scripture as admitted by Walvoord, and even though the pre-trib position contradicts some of scripture, some will still want to hold onto it.

If that is the case with you, I ask you to go back over the scriptures and logic that have been presented. Here are the essential facts we need to keep in mind; Thessalonians equates the rapture with the Day of the Lord event. Joel and Acts says that the moon must be turned to blood before the Day of the Lord. In Revelation 6 we see the moon turned to blood after the sixth seal is opened. These are scriptural facts. If you do not deny any of them, then sound logic dictates that the rapture must occur after the sixth seal is opened. Any other conclusion would be a denial of sound logic and create a contradiction to truth.

I encourage you to adhere to what scripture and scripture alone says. We must be faithful and loyal to the Word of God above our alma mater or church. Adhere to what scripture teaches and scripture alone! To make it easier for you to understand these concepts I have summarized, compared, and analyzed the teachings of the various rapture theories and put them into a chart entitled “A Comparison of the Rapture Theories”.

Your Rapture Theology Matters

I am writing this book, not only because I want the truth to be known, but also because it is very dangerous to not have a correct view about the timing of the rapture. Since the rapture does not occur until the sixth seal, then a Christian must prepare for the first five seals. Without proper preparation, one could find themselves and their family in pretty desperate situations. As Jesus said “Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.” (Mark 13:36-37) How to properly prepare for the first five seals will be the subject of a later chapter. Furthermore, since the rapture will not occur until the sixth seal and the antichrist is revealed and comes to power before the rapture, then all alive at the time will most likely have to decide whether or not to take the mark. And if a person is deceived as a result of not knowing the truth about the prophetic time in which they are living, they will be more easily deceived during the 70th Week.

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. (Rev. 13:16–17)

Could You Be Deceived into Taking the Mark?

The decision of whether or not to take the mark of the beast will most likely come about after the Abomination of Desolation and shortly after the antichrist takes control of the world. This “mark” will most likely be a small computer chip implanted in the hand or forehead or an invisible tattoo made with RFID ink.^[5] Such technology already exists and is being tested in humans now and is available for use now. The World Net Daily has pictures of chips, and even the process of implanting them, and explains how these implantable chips will be used for a cashless society.^[6] Mexico has just recently announced that they are going to start implanting chips in children, and the military. Prince Charles is “chipped.” The Department of Defense has just announced that all products sold to them must be “chipped.” It is reported that half of all products sold in the U.S will be “chipped” by the end of 2004. Coke even had a promotion running in the summer of 2004 where they “chipped” some cans of soda and then would find them by satellite and the lucky winners would win a prize. The motto of this promotion was “You can win, but you can’t hide.”

The mechanics and technology of chipping or “taking the mark” are already in place. They even have chip mobiles ready to come to your neighborhood!

Having to decide whether or not to take the mark is not a good situation to be in if you do not recognize that you are actually in the 70th Week of Daniel or are not properly prepared for it. You will not be able to buy or sell without the mark, and if you do not realize that you are in the 70th Week because you falsely believe in a pre-trib rapture view, one could easily go along with what the government tells them and be deceived into following the antichrist and taking the mark and ending up in Hell. Of course no true Christian would take the mark.

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (Rev. 14:9-11)

More Dangers of False Teaching

Another reason any false prophetic teaching, including pre-trib, is harmful is that, when the teaching proves to be erroneous, those under that teaching may lose their respect for the things of the Lord and fall away from Him. We know that before the rapture there will be a great falling away, as was discussed earlier. No doubt, the false teaching about the pre-trib rapture probably will, along with other things, be part of why people will fall away from the faith.

Do not be deceived the rapture will not occur before the final 7 years, the 70th Week, but will occur after the sixth seal is opened between the Abomination of Desolation and the end of the 70th Week. The rapture will be a time of great deliverance from the persecution of the antichrist and his followers. The Lord will descend to the clouds and will blow the trump of God and the dead in Christ will rise first and then those who are still alive at his coming will be caught up to the clouds with Him.

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. (1 Thess. 4:16-18)

Oh what a glorious occasion that will be for all the saints who have been awaiting His return! “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13).

The entire world will see him. “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen” (Rev. 1:7).

After the world is darkened at the sixth seal, the entire world will be able to see the Lord Jesus Christ shining brighter than the sun as He comes to rescue His children.

In heart-wrenching contrast, those not raptured will at least temporarily recognize their plight and flee from His presence for they will know that the wrath of God is about to be poured out upon the world:

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. 6:15-17)

That is when they will have their epiphany concerning Christ. But it will be too late then. The view you hold concerning the rapture matters. An epiphany will come to all. The sooner you have yours the better.

The Prophecy of the Popes; Another Confirmation of the End Times Calculations.

By Patricia Drury - originally posted to Flickr as Sterling Heights - St. Malachy, CC BY 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=8132830

The Prophecy of the Popes; many of you have probably heard about them, but did you know that they suggest a date for the end of the world?

As the story goes there was a religious man, by the name of St. Malachy, who lived in the 12^th Century. He had a vision of the last 112 Popes. In recent years Tom Horn and Chris Putman have brought his vision to the forefront. The last Pope on the list, Pope #112, is the current Pope we have now—Pope Francis. And according to the vision, it is after this last Pope that the end of the world is to occur.

It reads: "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End.”

BTW; Pope Francis has a “Peter the Roman” connection. Like I said, many have heard about this, some doubt its authenticity, but others such as Tom Horn after researching it believe it to be authentic. Now let’s consider its implications on an end times chronology. The Big the One has put forth a very interesting theory regarding this;

Proceeding from this, the author of the scientific work took the year 1572 as a basis from which he counted everything and added to it the 40 remaining from the list of Popes multiplied by a time period of 11 years.  That is, he added 440 years to 1572.  As a result, he got the year 2012, which was supposed to be the time of the beginning of the reign of the last Pope.  And when was Francis elected pope?  Francis was elected Pope on March 13, 2013, that is, the hit is almost perfect, a mistake for several months.

And if so, then the symbolism of the 11 year reign of the Popes works, so Francis will rule the Vatican no later than March 2024, after which the End of the World will come.

Thus the theory implies; if Francis is the last Pope and the 11 year pattern is followed, then after 2024 the “seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End.”

Further; if the above is valid then it serves as another confirmation of the end times calculations summarized below which has “The End” in 2026.

Event	Day	Date
Beginning of 70th Week	1	Oct 19, 2019
Seals would start by	1139	Nov 30,2022
Abomination of Desolation	1230	Mar 1, 2023
Beginning of the rule of antichrist	1260	Mar 31,2023
Rapture	?	?
Beginning of the bowl judgments	2490	Aug 12,2026
Armageddon	2520	Sep 11, 2026
Beginning of the Millennium	2565	Oct 26, 2026

Consider this; If the antichrist and false prophet comes on the scene in 2023 uniting the religions of the world, as the calculations above suggest, then there may not be a need for another Pope—thus Pope Francis would be the last Pope, and  would be replaced by a world religious leader—the false prophet.

The possibility also exists that the last 7 years started just after the sign of the woman clothed with the sun, which if true then the midpoint would be in early 2021 and the end would be in 2024. So this is another possibility.

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
