Rapture and Restraint Scenario :: By Terry James

Published on: by RR10 Category:General Articles, Terry James

Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas, made a most interesting comment in a sermon recently televised. He said something to the effect that he believes the Rapture will occur at the moment a global holocaust of some sort is in progress.

It is interesting to me because I remember many years ago watching a docudrama-type program produced by Peter and Paul Lalonde, I think, that portrayed just such a scenario. Just as nuclear-armed missiles started to fly, something miraculous happened. I can’t recall whether the missiles vanished, failed to fully ignite, or what. But I believe that at that moment, the fictional account had the Rapture taking place.

Dr. Jeffress indicated he believed that such a holocaust situation on a global scale could be used to provide reasons for the massive disappearance of people from the populations of the world. The globalists elite might use this as part of the big lie of 2 Thessalonians chapter 3 is, I presume, what he meant.

I’m not sure I can fully embrace that particular scenario, but it fascinated me back when the Lalonde brothers presented their version, and it again piqued my imagination when Dr. Jeffress mentioned it while I was sipping coffee early the other morning.

It likely induced me to start ruminating on writing this article because there is such a build-up to war-making that I believe the New World Order types are fashioning. That build-up is more than obvious to Christian and secular observers as well, who see that increase in warmongering by those who are determined to have their Great Reset so they can remake planet Earth into their own imagined Utopia.

Again, the United States of America is at the center of the one-worlders’ thinking. This nation must be brought under their all-encompassing control. America is the hold-up to implementing their plan to construct a world along the lines of the demonically inspired imaginations of Lenin and Lennon. We must be forced to believe that there is no Heaven, no Hell, and we all will be “as one” under the gods of this new creation—such as Klaus Schwab and his WEF henchman Noah Yubal Harari.

Americans are still buying, selling, building, planting—doing all the things pretty much as normal. While most of the rest of the nations of earth are struggling mightily, economically and in other ways detrimental to human freedom, our nation, while headed down a track that will lead to destruction, isn’t headed that way fast enough to satisfy the one-worlders.

As expressed many times in these commentaries, America is exactly in the position, the situation the Lord Jesus Christ foretold as recorded in the book of Luke. This is why I am convinced that America, the apex nation of history so far as being materially blessed is concerned, might be the specific nation and people Jesus foretold in this passage, which I believe refers to the Rapture:

“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed” (Luke 17:28-30).

As I’ve mentioned many times, all nations are linked in one way or the other to the United States and the dollar. Yes, I agree completely that things are changing, and there are tremendous pressures being brought to bring down the dollar to create alternatives to the American-dominated global financial interaction. But America continues to stand, and nothing the powers that be have tried has collapsed either the United States or the world’s economy to this point.

Nor will any earthly power be able to do so, I am of the firm opinion, based upon Jesus’ “days of Lot” prophecy. It is God, Himself, who will collapse America and the world—all deserving of His judgment and wrath, it’s sad and tragic to have to say.

Dr. Jeffress believes that a great holocaust-type catastrophe will initiate God’s judgment while the Rapture at the same time occurs. If it will be this scenario that is in play, the build-up to war we are witnessing certainly could be that global catastrophe.

Jesus said God’s judgment will, like when Lot went out of Sodom, fall that very day. That judgment completely destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, the twin cities of anti-God rebellion.

Presently, Iran is said to have nuclear weapons and is going to add to its arsenal quickly. Israel has declared it will never allow Iran to have an arsenal of such weapons. So the ignition point for at least a regional war of devastating potential is in place. The Russian-Ukrainian war is building, with Putin threatening almost daily to strike a conflict-ending blow, possibly using nuclear weapons.

A general in charge of one of America’s powerful military branches is predicting war with China, the nation with the largest land army.

In a startling memo released last week, a four-star Air Force general said that he believes the United States and China will fight a war in the upcoming two years.

“A four-star Air Force general [Gen. Michael A. Minihan, USAF] sent a memo on Friday to the officers he commands that predicts the U.S. will be at war with China in two years and tells them to get ready to prep by firing “a clip” at a target, and ‘aim for the head,’” reported Reuters.

The head of the Air Mobility Command, General Minihan, is in charge of about 50,000 service members and roughly 500 planes. He is also in charge of transport and refueling…

“I hope I am wrong. My gut tells me we will fight in 2025.” (“Four-star General: Be ready for this war,” New Conservative Post, January 30, 2023)

All things are building toward something earth-shattering. God continues to restrain until the instant of His next catastrophic intervention. Christ will first call believers to Himself.

“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed” (Luke 17:28-30).

Suddenly :: By Jonathan Brentner

Published on: by RR10 Category:General Articles

Suddenly!

The word increasingly strikes fear into the hearts of many as they watch young and healthy people abruptly drop dead, just as Damon Hamlin did before a national audience. Unlike most, he had medical help immediately after he collapsed.

The quote below comes from a January 2, 2023, Rasmussen Reports story. According to their poll:

Nearly half of Americans think COVID-19 vaccines may be to blame for many unexplained deaths, and more than a quarter say someone they know could be among the victims. [i]

Late on January 29, 2023, eminent MIT Professor and respected expert on drug safety analytics, Dr. Retsef Levi, placed a video on his Twitter account (@Retsef). In it, he calls for the immediate suspension of all mRNA injections. Here are his words introducing the video:

The evidence is mounting and indisputable that mRNA vaccines cause serious harm, including death, especially among young people. We have to stop giving them immediately!

Here is a quote taken from Dr. Levi’s video:

I believe that the cumulative evidence is conclusive and indeed confirms our concern that mRNA vaccines indeed cause sudden cardiac arrest.

(In April 2022, he co-wrote a study on the incidence of emergency heart attacks for those under forty in Israel.)

Every day, I see the faces of children, teenagers, and young adults who have unexpectedly and suddenly dropped dead because of heart attacks, strokes, or other heart-related ailments. Yet so few are paying attention. The level of denial and deception over what is happening is mindboggling.

The worldwide phenomenon of sudden deaths has reached a point where we cannot and must not ignore it. For me, the words of Proverbs 24:10-12 compel me to state my case and warn people of the grave dangers.

I begin with a quote from over a century ago.

Rudolf Steiner, 1917

Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher and founder of a satanic spiritual movement, wrote the following around 1917:

In the future, we will eliminate the soul with medicine. Under the pretext of a ‘healthy point of view,’ there will be a vaccine by which the human body will be treated as soon as possible at birth so that the human being cannot develop the thought of the existence of soul and spirit. Materialistic doctors will be entrusted with the task of removing the soul of humanity. As today, people are vaccinated against this or that disease, so in the future, children will be vaccinated with a substance that can be produced precisely in such a way that people, thanks to this vaccination, will be immune to being subjected to the ‘madness’ of spiritual life. [ii]

He penned these words 105 years ago! Take a few moments to ponder that. Also, consider the fact that the FDA recently approved giving the COVID injection to babies as young as six months.

After including the Steiner quote in his book, J.B. Hixson wrote:

One wonders what he [Steiner] knew and how he knew it. What did the demons reveal to him about Satan’s transhumanist agenda that would unfold in earnest over the next century? [iii]

I agree with Hixson. The minions of Satan revealed their future plans to Steiner, who, at the time, was deep into luciferin activity.

The transhumanists of our day talk openly about eliminating the “god gene” in people. They say this will reduce the “hostility” they believe arises from “religious passion.” Steiner saw this coming long ago.

Aldous Huxley, 1961

More recently, philosopher and author Aldous Huxley spoke these words at the California Medical School in 1961 (please, please read these words very carefully):

There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will, in fact, have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution. [iv]

Huxley’s words represent the playbook from which the globalists operate today. What he talked about in 1961 has become reality in 2023. “Pharmaceutical methods” are the weapon of choice for transhumanists seeking to change humanity by combining humans with machines.

In 2021, a video appeared on the World Economic Forum (WEF) website showing a smiling young man while the narrator said this about the future, “You will own nothing and be happy.” [v]

Does this not match the words of Huxley? People will never welcome servitude, but Huxley predicted that someday they will because of “pharmacological methods.” Hmmm…

Forbes Magazine, 2017

On November 20, 2017, an article appeared on the Forbes Magazine website entitled, Transhumanism and The Future of Humanity: 7 Ways the World Will Change By 2030. The following quote appears under the heading “Our bodies will be augmented.”

The coming years will usher in a number of body augmentation capabilities that will enable humans to be smarter, stronger, and more capable than we are today. Wearables will be one form of body augmentation, but they will far surpass the fitness trackers of today…. We will also see increased use of implants ranging from brain microchips and neural lace to mind-controlled prostheses and subdermal RFID chips that allow users to unlock doors or computer passwords with the wave of a hand. However, the most powerful body augmentation will come from biological augmentation as a result of increased insight into our genomes, advances in IVF technology that may allow us to select the most intelligent embryos, and powerful CRISPR gene-editing technology, which may one day give us the ability to eliminate all heritable diseases. These body augmentation capabilities will give rise to humans that are more resilient, optimized and continually monitored. [vi] (my emphasis)

The “CRISPR gene-editing technology” that the Forbes writer predicts will someday augment our bodies is exactly how the pharmaceutical companies describe their mRNA injections. What the Forbes article predicted back in 2017 would eventually lead to the altering of humans, aka transhumanism, became a reality in 2020-21 with the emergence of “CRISPR gene-editing” injections from Pfizer, Moderna, and other pharmaceutical companies.

Everything in the Forbes article lines up with the Fourth Industrial Revolution advocated by the WEF. The “RFID chips” and biological augmentation” are the forerunners of combining humans and machines, aka transhumanism. The relationship between those pushing for a one-world government and the transhumanists is a close, codependent one!

Here is a quote from the WEF website regarding the changes they wish to impose on the world (I would argue that these things are further along in our day than most can imagine):

The Fourth Industrial Revolution [the WEF term for transhumanism] represents a fundamental change in the way we live, work and relate to one another. It is a new chapter in human development, enabled by extraordinary technology advances commensurate with those of the first, second and third industrial revolutions. These advances are merging the physical, digital and biological worlds in ways that create both huge promise and potential peril. The speed, breadth and depth of this revolution is forcing us to rethink how countries develop, how organizations create value, and even what it means to be human. [vii] (my emphasis)

In their words, the changes that the WEF has in mind will change “what it means to be human.”

Moderna, 2021

During Spring of 2021, the following appeared on the Moderna website. They have since taken this section down.

Our Operating System

Recognizing the broad potential of mRNA science, we set out to create an mRNA technology platform that functions very much like an operating system on a computer. It is designed so that it can plug and play interchangeably with different programs. In our case, the “program” or “app” is our mRNA drug – the unique mRNA sequence that codes for a protein.

Dr. Yuval Harari, best-selling author and chief advisor to Klaus Schwab, head of the WEF, repeatedly refers to humans as “hackable animals.” I see a connection between Harari’s words and what appeared on the Moderna website. The injections are just a first step.

Pfizer, 2023

On the evening of January 25, 2023, Veritas released an undercover interview with a “senior executive from the Pfizer pharmaceutical company in charge of research and development talking about the possibility of deliberately mutating the virus in order to develop new vaccines in anticipation of the emergence of new variants.” [viii]

During the interview, the executive referred to Pfizer as a “revolving door” for government inspectors who gladly “look the other way,” knowing they will someday receive lucrative job offers from the pharmaceutical company in the future.

Viewership of the Project Veritas video currently now exceeds twenty-five million views since its release.

Our World, 2023

The numerous reports of sudden death that come my way each and every day are not isolated incidents; they are happening all over the world in ever-increasing numbers.

I beg you to avoid these shots. If you have taken the initial ones, please don’t accept the boosters, as they will reduce your immunity.

And pray for family members and friends that have received these injections.

Please know that these injections are most certainly NOT the mark of the beast, as described in Revelation 13:16-18. This can only happen after the Rapture when the antichrist appears. Furthermore, taking the mark will involve worshipping this coming “man of lawlessness.”

The Rapture, ????

There’s another “suddenly” that will surely panic the world. We refer to it as our “blessed hope” (Titus 2:11-14).

Jesus’ last words to His Church were, “Surely I come quickly” (Revelation 22:20). Although some translate the Greek word tachu as “soon,” it typically denotes suddenness of motion. The Rapture will be a sudden event.

Jesus will instantly change us as He catches us up to meet Him in the air. If we are already with Him, He will raise us from the dead with glorious and imperishable bodies.

Notice the swiftness of action in 1 Corinthians 15:50-53 as the apostle Paul describes the moment when our Gospel hope becomes our experience:

“I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.”

I pray Jesus comes for us before another new year (2024) dawns, but I can’t predict that will happen. I am certain, however, that the seven-year Tribulation is speeding toward our world faster than most can imagine.

The Tribulation, ????

Revelation 9:21, speaking of those who refuse to repent during the Tribulation, mentions “sorceries” as something they refuse to give up. Toward the end of the book, we read that during this time, “Babylon” will deceive the nations through its “sorcery” (see Revelation 18:23).

The Greek word for “sorcery” is pharmakeia, which in ancient times denoted the administering of drugs and even poison. Most versions of the Bible translate the word as “sorcery” because of its longstanding association with drugs used in magical spells and witchcraft.

Our English word “pharmacy” comes from it.

Could the Revelation references to the use of pharmakeia during the Tribulation denote the widespread use of “medicinal” injections during this time? Huxley said that the powerbrokers of our world would someday use “pharmacological methods,” aka pharmakeia, to control people. I believe the dots connect rather well.

Our Only Hope, Today

The Lord Jesus is our only hope for the day in which we live. He gives us strength, unshakable peace, and bright hope for the future, regardless of what Satan is accomplishing in our world. The Bible assures us He is coming to take us to glory before the onset of the Tribulation period.

Many of us who know Jesus as our Savior long for “suddenly.” We eagerly anticipate the day Jesus suddenly catches us up to meet Him in the air and takes us up to glory.

If you have not yet put your trust in Jesus, please see my post, Jesus Is the Only Path to Eternal Life. In it, I explain how you can know for sure that Jesus has forgiven all your sins and that you possess eternal life. Jesus is my risen Savior; He can give you bright hope for tomorrow regardless of your circumstances.

Please, please don’t delay; call upon Jesus while you may! Tomorrow may be too late. Events in our world happen suddenly.
