Second Coming Events: Millennium Part Three :: By Bill Pierce

TWO VERY DIFFERENT DELIVERANCES

Failure to discern between the two future gatherings of the Lord’s saints has led some to incorrectly believe in a post or mid-tribulation gathering of the church. Hopefully, the following scriptures will clear up this misunderstanding. May the blessed hope of Christ’s imminent gathering of the church give every believer the sincere desire to purify “himself, even as he is pure” (1John 3:3).

THE CHURCH—The church is composed of “all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26). Each member of Christ’s “body, the church” (Colossians 1:18) has heard and believed “the gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20:24). The apostle Paul testified “both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 20:21), preaching: “how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures” (1Corinthians 15:3-4)

Every believer in Christ has already been delivered “from the curse of the law” (Galatians 3:13; Romans 7:6), and “from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God” (Romans 8:21). God the Father has “delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son” (Colossians 1:13). God has “delivered us from so great a death [when we believed the gospel], and doth deliver [during our lives on earth]: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us [at the resurrection of the living and dead in Christ]” (2Corinthians 1:10).

Every member of his “body, the church” (Colossians 1:18) has “passed from death unto life” (John 5:24; 1John 3:14). After his resurrection from the dead, the church began when the Lord Jesus Christ baptized the first believer “with the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 3:11) into his body (1Corinthians 12:13). The church will be completed when the last born-again believer is baptized into the body of Christ before both the living and dead in Christ “shall be caught up together…to meet the Lord in the air…” (1Thessalonians 4:16-18).

Delivered by the Lord himself—The faithful in the church are “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). They are waiting “for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come” (1Thessalonians 1:10). The Lord Jesus will soon come as a thief in the night to deliver his church from God’s wrath and from the “strong delusion” which God will send upon Christ rejecters (John 12:48), “That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2Thessalonians 2:11-12)

According to God’s word, “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” (1Thessalonians 4:16-18).

THE TRIBULATION BELIEVERS—These believers will be living on earth during Daniel’s prophesied seventieth week of seven years. They will hear “the gospel of the kingdom” (Matthew 9:35) preached by “an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel” (Revelation 7:1-4). These sealed servants (Revelation 7:3) will preach the same gospel that Jesus and his disciples preached during the Lord’s earthly ministry: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17).

With reference to this seven-year period which will follow the Lord’s gathering of the church, Jesus told his disciples: “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” (Matthew 24:14). Jesus spoke not of the end of the church age but of the end of “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7)! During this time, the nations will also hear the voice of an angel flying in the midst of heaven preaching “the everlasting gospel…Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters” (Revelation 14:6-7).

Accursed preachers—While the church is still on earth, anyone preaching either “the gospel of the kingdom,” or “the everlasting gospel” instead of “the gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20:24) is accursed: “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed” (Galatians 1:8-9).

A false sign—The scripture teaches that the Lord is coming for his church “as a thief in the night” (1Thessalonians 5:2; 2Peter 3:10) without preceding signs or events. Nevertheless, some—by misinterpreting Matthew 24:14, teach that the gospel of the grace of God must be preached in all the world before the Lord can come for the church! According to the scriptures, the gospel of the grace of God had already been preached to all the world by 60 AD! We know this because the apostle Paul wrote: “But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world” (Romans 10:17-18).

Delivered by the angels—Before the end of the “great tribulation” (Matthew 24:21), and before the second coming of Jesus Christ to judge and to make war with the nations, the Lord “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” (Matthew 24:30-31).

When God showed him this future deliverance of the tribulation saints, John testified: “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; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the LambAnd one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 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” (Revelation 7:9-17).

The deliverance of the tribulation saints will fulfill the Lord’s earlier promise to “the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held” (Revelation 6:9-11).

The blessed nations—The “great multitude” that will come out of great tribulation will include all believers in the blessed sheep nations, the nations that ministered to the nation of Israel during the time of their trouble (Matthew 25:33-40). They will stand at the Lord’s right hand when he comes to judge all nations; and the King shall say unto them: “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” (Matthew 25:34). These sheep nation believers are called “the righteous [who shall go] into life eternal” (Matthew 25:46). We can be absolutely sure that these believers will not be made righteous because of any good works they will do toward Israel. They will receive “Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ…” (Romans 3:22)

As a result of their salvation by faith, they will minister to Israel during the great tribulation. According to the scriptures, it is impossible for anyone to inherit the kingdom of God by works: “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5). Men are saved according to God’s mercy when they believe on the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31)! No man has ever been “justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ” (Galatians 2:16)!

CHRIST’S SECOND COMING

With ALL his saints—Zechariah prophesied: “And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee” (Zechariah 14:5; Matthew 24:15-21).

In his letter unto the church of the Thessalonians, Paul wrote: “And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints” (1Thessalonians 3:12-13): “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints” (Jude 1:14; Revelation 5:11).

Composition of his saints—At the time of the second coming of Jesus Christ, “all his saints” (1Thessalonians 3:13)—the armies “which were in heaven,” will follow the Lord “upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean” (Revelation 19:14). The Lord’s armies will include the following: all believers from Adam to the first coming of Christ; all who believed on the Lord during his earthly ministry—before his death, burial, and resurrection; all “born again” (John 3:3-8; 1Peter 1:23) members of his “body, the church” (Colossians 1:18), which began after his resurrection; and all believers between the Lord’s deliverance of the church up to meet him in the air (1Thessalonians 4:13-18) and time of the gathering of “his elect” (Matthew 24:31) by the angels shortly before Christ’s second coming.

The winepress—The Lord gives the analogy of a man treading grapes in a winepress (Nehemiah 13:15; Isaiah 16:10) to illustrate his second coming when he will tread down his enemies. The psalmist wrote: “Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies” (Psalm 108:13). The prophets wrote: “Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth” (Jeremiah 25:30); and: “Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength?

“I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth” (Isaiah 63:1-6).

The apostle John reported: “And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs” (Revelation 14:17-20).

None of the armies that come with the Lord will have to fight. They will only behold with their eyes when the Lord Jesus treads the winepress alone. “The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth” (Psalm 58:10-11; see also Psalm 46:1-11; 3:25-26).

The apostle John described what he saw concerning Christ’s second coming: “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God” (Revelation 19:13-15).

JUDGMENT OF NATIONS

I know of no scriptures that give the order of events at the beginning of the millennium. Therefore, I assume that the Lord will judge his conquered nations before he holds his marriage supper, for the Lord Jesus is coming to “judge and make war” (Revelation 19:11). It seems reasonable to me that the Lord will first judge all the nations after he conquers them in war. The Lord Jesus himself declared: “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left” (Matthew 25:31-33).

The end of all national wars—Isaiah prophesied: “And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more” (Isaiah 2:4). Micah also prophesied: “And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more” (Micah 4:3).

THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB

The apostle John was told, “Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God” (Revelation 19:9). Although parables cannot be used to establish doctrine, according to the following prophecy and two parables, it seems reasonable to speculate that the Lord’s marriage supper will be held in the King’s palace on earth after Christ’s second coming.

The destruction of the Jewish temple—According to the scriptures, the entire earth will lie in ruins as a result of the “great earthquake” which will cause all “the cities of the nations” (Revelation 16:18-19) to fall: when the LORD arises “to shake terribly the earth” (Isaiah 2:19-21). The temple, which will be built by the Jews during the first three and one-half years of “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7), is where the man of sin will sit “as God…in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God” (2Thessalonians 2:4). This temple will also be destroyed by the “great earthquake.”

The building of the millennial temple—Because of the word of prophecy, we know that the Lord Jesus Christ will sit on his throne in a new temple during his thousand-year reign, a temple that he himself will build. The LORD commanded Zechariah to speak unto Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and say: “Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both [The LORD and his Lord: the Father and the Son]” (Zechariah 6:12-13; Psalm 110:1).

How long in building—If Herod’s temple was forty and six years in building (John 2:18-22), how long will it take the Lord to build his temple? The “LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is…” (Exodus 20:11) in six days. “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth” (Psalm 33:6-9). “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” (Hebrews 11:3). Knowing that “God said, Let there be light: and there was light” (Genesis 1:3), and that “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26), and “nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37), we should not be surprised if the Lord will speak, and his temple will immediately come into existence!

Prophetic scene: marriage guests—”Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre [These words are spoken by the Father to the Lord Jesus Christ, his “only begotten Son” (John 3:16; 1John 4:9; Hebrews 1:8)]. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen [“the Lamb’s wife” (Revelation 19:7; 21:9), his espoused virgin church (2Corinthians 11:2)] in gold of Ophir. Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house; So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.”

[The Lord is speaking to his church. Even in this life, all the church, all “the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26), should recognize and acknowledge that the Lord Jesus Christ is worthy of our worship! The four beast and the twenty-four elders in heaven will declare: “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created” (Revelation 4:11). And all the redeemed in heaven will say “with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” (Revelation 5:9-12)].

And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour. The king’s daughter [see 2Corinthians 6:18] is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions [These virgins are typified by the five wise Jewish virgins (Matthew 25:1-10)] that follow her shall be brought unto thee. With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.

“Instead of thy fathers [The Son of God is “from everlasting” (Micah 5:2). He “created all things…that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist” (Revelation 4:11; Colossians 1:16-17). Therefore, the eternal Son of God is “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life…” (Hebrews 7:3). When the eternal Son “was made flesh” (John 1:14), he “was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead” (Romans 1:3-4)]

“shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth [The Lord will make “us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” (Revelation 5:10)]. I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever” (Psalm 45:6-17, shown in bold).

Parable of the wedding dinner—Jesus spoke this parable, and said, “The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son” (Matthew 22:1-2). When the king sent out two groups of servants to invite men to the wedding, they would not come. A remnant of those that refused the king’s invitation mistreated his servants and killed them (Matthew 22:3-6). “But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city” (Matthew 22:7)

This could be a reference to the second coming of Christ, after which the king will say again “to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:8-14).

We know that the Lamb’s wife will be “granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints” (Revelation 19:7-8). We also know that the LORD will clothe all his saints “with the garments of salvation [and cover them] with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels” (Isaiah 61:10). Therefore, the man without a wedding garment will be cast into outer darkness because he is one of a multitude of men who are “wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever” (2Peter 2:17). He is one of the “Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever” (Jude 1:13).

Parable of the foolish virgins—In this parable of the kingdom of heaven, when the five wise and five foolish virgins slept, “at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him” (Matthew 25:6). The wise virgins “that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh” (Matthew 25:1-13). The wise virgins are companions of the bride, the church: “With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace…” (Psalm 45:13-17; Revelation 14:4). “The Lord knoweth them that are his…” (2Timothy 2:19; Nahum 1:7).

Does the Lord know you? Or will he say unto you, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:21-23)? “Now is the day of salvation” (2Corinthians 6:1-2).

Gone :: By Daymond Duck

After Moses died, Joshua became the leader of the Jewish people. Joshua led them across the Jordan River, took them to a place called Shiloh, and gave Shiloh to the largest and most powerful tribe called Ephraim. The Jews erected a Tabernacle there, priests served there, offered sacrifices there, felt God’s presence there, and it was a special place to God for more than 300 years. But the Jews eventually abandoned God, started worshipping a false God, angered God, stirred His wrath, and He destroyed Shiloh (Psa. 78:56-67).

  • Those that think that God won’t destroy a nation should go and look at Shiloh (Jer. 7:12).
  • Those that think that God won’t destroy a city should go and look at Sodom and Gomorrah.

On Sept. 16, 2021, several members of the media reported on an interview that former White House Press Sec. Sean Spicer had with former Pres. Trump.

Trump said, “Our country has gone really downhill in the last eight months like nobody’s ever seen before. And we’re not going to have a country left in three years; I’ll tell you that.”

Is Biden really the end of America?

Will America’s Deep State and the global Deep State succeed in bringing about the demise of America before 2024 and the establishment of a godless world government and religion by 2030 or sooner?

  • Perhaps, it is time for the Lukewarm Laodicean churches and those that think that God won’t destroy a godless world government and religion to go and look at the tower of Babel.

Without God, America is gone.

Consider the following:

  • Vice Pres. Harris was part of a group that raised funds to bail rioters, looters, and arsonists out of jail, and one has now committed murder.
  • The Biden administration knows that human traffickers, drug dealers, terrorists, and people infected with Covid are crossing the U.S. border with Mexico, but they are ignoring it or, in some cases, assisting it.
  • Biden said he would not leave American citizens in Afghanistan, but he has left hundreds there.
  • Biden let Taliban terrorists have up to 80 billion dollars of U.S. weapons.
  • The FBI destroyed Hillary’s cell phones for her.
  • Biden lied about his knowledge of Hunter Biden’s alleged crimes (he boasted about threatening the Pres. of Ukraine if he didn’t fire the man investigating Hunter; e-mails on Hunter’s laptop have been confirmed to be legitimate), but that is okay with the Democrat Party, and the FBI and DOJ have done nothing.
  • Pelosi, Schumer, and the Democrats impeached Trump over something he didn’t say in a phone call to Russia, but they are ignoring Gen. Milley’s treasonous calls to China, even though he could have endangered the security of the U.S.
  • Biden has been warned that too much spending can collapse the U.S. economy, but he continues to propose multi-trillion-dollar stimulus packages.
  • The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that mandated vaccinations are unconstitutional, but Biden is trying to force people to get one.
  • The Biden administration is trying to force average citizens to get vaccinated, but he has exempted Congress, their aides, the DOJ, the U.S. Supreme Court, and postal workers.
  • Fauci lied to Congress about funding Covid research in Wuhan, China, but the Biden administration supports him.

The above list shows that the America most of us grew up in is already gone, but there is no need to worry because the Church will soon be gone (Raptured) too.

  • FYI: Trump’s slogan was “Make America Great Again” (Strengthen America don’t weaken it). Biden’s slogan was “Build Back Better” (Get rid of the old America and build it back with a different America. That is what he is doing). Obama called it “The Fundamental Transformation of America”).

This writer believes the length of the above list could easily be doubled, but readers will get the point, and there are other things that need to be mentioned.

One, concerning the decline of the U.S. and the establishment of the Ten Kings: on Sept. 20, 2021, it was reported that the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) met to discuss weakened ties to the U.S. and the restructuring of CELAC into a block of nations patterned after the E.U.

Ten groups of nations patterned after the E.U. with a leader over each group (Ten leaders or Ten Kings) that would eventually cede their power to one leader has been a globalist goal for many years.

  • Also concerning the decline of the U.S.: Biden’s surrender to the Taliban in Afghanistan has triggered calls for the E.U. to establish a military that does not have ties to NATO.
  • Also concerning the decline of the U.S.: France has recalled its ambassador to the U.S. for the first time in history over a deal the U.S. and U.K. made to provide Australia with the technology to build submarines.

Two, concerning world government: the globalists have weakened America, and now China wants to replace America, take over the New World Order (NWO) and dominate it, not submit to it.

The globalists are just as much against China dominating their New World Order as they were against America dominating it.

George Soros and some of his globalist buddies are now getting worried about the growing power of China. They are even trying to cut off investments in China to weaken China like they weakened the U.S.

According to the Bible, the E.U. will be the main power in the coming world government, not China.

Expect China to resist and invade the Middle East as one of the Kings of the East, but don’t expect China to defeat the Antichrist and head up the coming world government.

Three, concerning the Mark of the Beast: it will be a global mandate to identify and track everyone on earth, and it will go into effect at the middle of the Tribulation Period.

There is good reason to believe that Covid-19 vaccine certificates are on the way to becoming a global mandate to identify and track people.

On Sept. 15, 2021, it was reported that 35-40 nations (Israel, the E.U., and other nations that want to join) will have a digital system in place by early October to identify and track those that have been vaccinated and those that have had Covid-19 and recovered. Those that get an approved certificate will be allowed to travel, enter restaurants and other venues, but those that don’t get one will not be allowed to do these things.

Four, concerning Israel and Jerusalem: America’s Deep State has manipulated Pres. Biden into many mistakes since putting him into office.

It seems that God is willing to let America’s Deep State and Biden weaken America because He said He will allow them to establish a godless world government and religion for seven years.

But now, these godless people appear to be preparing to weaken Israel by reopening America’s special consulate for the P.A. in Jerusalem and canceling America’s recognition of Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel.

God will allow them to do this for three reasons:

  • He is letting Israel learn to trust Him and not the nations.
  • He is letting the nations choose their own judgment (what they try to do to Israel will come back on them; Zech. 12:3).
  • He is letting the world know that He is God, He restored Israel, and Israel cannot be destroyed (Amos 9:11-15).

FYI: America’s Deep State apparently does not know, believe, or understand the story about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace (a type of Israel in the Tribulation Period). One like the Son of God delivered them out of it (Dan. 3:25), and all Israel, all that believe in Yeshua, will be saved in the wilderness (Matt. 25:16-22) by a Deliverer out of Zion (Rom. 11:26).

Five, in May of this year, terrorists in Gaza fired more than 4,000 rockets into Israel, but many were shot down by Israel’s anti-missile Iron Dome System.

Israel needs to replace and boost her stock of Iron Dome missiles.

In June of this year, U.S. Sec. of State Lloyd Austin told Israel’s Defense Min. Benny Gantz that the U.S. plans to replace Israel’s Iron Dome missiles. On Aug. 27, Pres. Biden met with Israeli Prime Min. Bennett and said the U.S. will replace Israel’s Iron Dome missiles. Nancy Pelosi recently put $1 billion to replace Israel’s Iron Dome missiles in a bill to raise the U.S. debt ceiling, but the Squad and other leftist Democrats strongly objected to spending money on the defense of Israel. Pelosi removed the money but promised to put it in a later bill.

The Biden administration has made many mistakes (Afghanistan, border with Mexico, etc.), but nothing could be as bad as abandoning its promises to defend Israel.

Six, concerning the division of Israel and the Battle of Armageddon: on Sept. 21, 2021, Pres. Biden repeated his support for the Two-State solution in a speech at the U.N. (but he did say it will be a long time before it happens).

Seven, concerning wickedness and corruption at the end of the age: on Sept. 16, 2021, Special Counsel John Durham got an indictment against a Democrat lawyer for creating and giving false information (lying) to the FBI to smear Pres. Trump during the 2016 Pres. Campaign. According to the indictment, the lawyer’s lies were used to suggest that Trump was colluding with the Russians.

In 2016, the FBI questioned him about it, and he gave the FBI false information while claiming to be an ordinary citizen and denied that he was being paid by anyone to give the FBI a false story.

It is now 5 years later, and the FBI says it has proof that the Democrat lawyer was billing the Clinton campaign, and Clinton’s group was paying him for his work. There are now rumors that Durham plans to go after Mrs. Clinton, but this writer is skeptical. It would not be surprising if Durham goes after some of Clinton’s aides, but Clinton is a prominent member of America’s Deep State.

Some say George Soros is destroying America, and Obama is in his third presidency, but nothing is ever done about what they are doing. Why?

The DOJ and FBI appear to be treating America’s Deep State as a protected class of people. If this is not true, why haven’t they been prosecuted for some of the things they have done? If it is true, it means the DOJ and FBI are protecting the wickedness, corruption, and treason of America’s Deep State (like in the days of Noah when the wickedness of man was great).

FYI: Here is some good news.

If (a big “IF”) God allows the Antichrist to confirm a 7-year covenant with many for peace in the Middle East by 2030, Jesus will be sitting on the throne of David in Jerusalem, and the Kingdom of God will exist on earth by 2037. Christians will be here in new bodies with their loved ones; Christians won’t get sick or die; there will be peace, justice, and righteousness on earth; no Covid, etc.

The bad things mentioned above are signs that a new world is coming soon.

Eight, concerning a falling away in the Church: on Sept. 21, 2021, LifeSiteNews reported that Pope Francis has a history of praising pro-abortion politicians, he supports serving communion to pro-abortion politicians, and he has endorsed gay civil unions.

Pope Francis has the spiritual qualifications of the False Prophet (supports world government, world religion, etc.), but he is getting old. If he is the False Prophet, the Rapture could be very soon.

Before closing, here is a personal message.

I get a little uncomfortable when other ministries ask me to publicize what they are doing because if they or some of their people go astray, I don’t want it to have a negative impact on Rapture Ready or my ministry. Having said this, a Christian group called Tactical Civics is seeking God-fearing patriots that want to restore America. I am thankful for (and support) anyone that wants to restore America. A member of the group has asked me to encourage people that Love Jesus and America to watch the 11-minute video at this link: www.tacticalcivics.com/video

The group wants more people to know what they are doing and perhaps get involved.

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
