Final Donation Drive of 2024: Think-Not Time to Be Rapture Ready!

Published on: by RR10

Think-Not Time to Be Rapture Ready!

Let me say up front that this article is dedicated to appealing to our Rapture Ready family, asking that you help fund our efforts now, so late into the Church Age.

That funding is very much needed at this time. This is in large part because of pressures exerted by Internet-control authorities who, within their ability, make it as financially difficult as possible for us to go forward in presenting God’s message for this late hour. Obtaining the revenue to adequately meet our needs has become increasingly problematic.

This is something we must inform you of because the downturn in revenue comes at the time of an upturn in costs. We’re at a time when the prophetic picture is powerfully shaping up in pointing toward the great event we look for with great anticipation.

It is time to be Rapture Ready! We must present the message of salvation and of Christ’s any-moment intervention into this world so opposed to God’s righteousness.

So many within the Christian community across America now see this time of the election of Mr. Trump as a return to sanity and to movement toward America as founded. Todd and I agree that this is a positive development. Our God has so obviously intervened—from the moment when the former and future president missed being assassinated by mere inches—to Heaven’s influence having the anti-God forces in Psalm 2 derision as the political season unfolded.

We also see this as a dangerous time of possible miscalculation. By this, I mean many I’ve heard from think this election and a turn toward a less ungodly America, with the coming to power of this new administration, indicate that the Rapture must now be farther off than we had expected. Now we are going to see a time of peace and prosperity–a return to cultural and societal norms and moral sanity. The Rapture has been put on hold, is the sense I get from some of the Christian world.

While we welcome the turn of events in this election and the thought that voters have seen the light to some extent with regard to wanting a course correction, we must warn that this growing belief that now things will move back toward “Making America Great Again” creates a time our Lord warned about.

Those of you who are in our Rapture Ready family–as others who hold to the pre-Trib Rapture view within God’s family—have looked at all the portentous issues and events of these times as foreshadowing the Tribulation (Daniel’s seventieth week). And this is the correct observation. The Tribulation is almost upon this generation.

Just considering the matters involving God’s chosen nation and people–Israel—is, within itself, enough to prove where we stand on God’s prophetic timeline. Hatred for Israel and the desire of the world of diplomats to divide that land–and even eliminate Israel as a nation—prove we’re bumping right up against the end of this quickly fleeting age. So it is wise to see all the stage-setting we’ve observed coming with such frequency and intensity as showing how near the Rapture must be.

But, again, there is now a growing sense expressed by many that maybe the Rapture will not occur for quite some time, based on the political turn of events.

This is foolish, and we implore those who think this way to reconsider. The Rapture is right at the door. And the very attitude we’re getting from those who miscalculate where we are in God’s timing for prophetic fulfillment is itself prophetic fulfillment. It is fulfillment given in the tremendous forewarning by our Lord, Himself. Don’t miss it. It is profound at this late moment of this closing Age of Grace:

“Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh (Matthew 24:44).

This is a think-not time unlike any we’ve seen in the past. It’s as if all things have been brought to a providential pause. All the massive developments toward the Tribulation seem to some to be on hold. But we must not be apathetic or unaware. Jesus declared it’s at a time such as this when He will intervene through human history’s most dramatic event at this point–the Rapture of the Church.

So we ask that you help with donations at this end-of-the-age hour when Satan is coming with increasing vehemence against God’s ministries such as Rapture Ready. Thank you, as always, for being part of our Rapture Ready family. Your support, we believe, will be credited to your heavenly bank account. Like you, we want to hear our Lord’s words: “Well done, good, faithful servant” (Matthew 25:23).

The Curtain Is Rising :: By Daymond Duck

Published on: by RR10

On Nov. 3, 2024, it was reported that Joel Rosenberg (speaker, author, founder of The Joshua Fund, and editor-in-chief of All Israel News) told a Podcast audience at Dallas Theological Seminary:

  • The veil is coming off,
  • The scales are coming off,
  • The curtain is rising as we get closer to the tribulation, to the Second Coming.
  • More and more Jews are coming to faith in Jesus.

Rosenberg believes God is shaking Israel to its core.

I agree, and God is shaking the nations too, especially the Arab nations, Iran, Syria, and Lebanon (He is revealing Himself to get them saved).

I believe the blinding of Israel will cease, and all Israel will be saved at the Second Coming (Luke 19:42; 21:24; Rom. 11:26).

I believe the gospel will go all over the world, and a multitude too great to number will be saved during the Tribulation Period (Matt. 24:14; Rev. 7:3-16; 11:3-6; 14:6-7).

The understanding of Bible prophecy is increasing (Dan. 12:4).

Here is a link to Rosenberg’s article and podcast.

The Church will soon be caught up to heaven, the curtain is rising as we approach the Tribulation Period, and multitudes from Israel and all nations will soon be saved.

Here are recent events that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near.

One, concerning America’s future relationship with Israel: on Nov. 7, 2024, it was reported that Israeli Pres. Netanyahu sent Pres. Trump a message of congratulations on his election victory.

When Trump delivered his victory speech on Nov. 6, 2024, he said he wants to end all wars.

A few pundits took that to mean that Trump was telling Israel to pull its troops out of Gaza and Lebanon.

The next day, Trump’s spokeswoman, Elizabeth Pipko, quickly corrected that.

Pipko said,

  • Trump did not give Israel an ultimatum.
  • Trump promised to ensure that Israel wins.
  • Trump supports an end to the fighting through decisive Israeli victories.

(More: On Nov. 7, 2024, it was reported that the Biden administration will push for a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon during the remainder of its time in office. A spokesman for the State Dept. said We have no shortage of work to do over the next 74 days, and we are determined to make the most of the time left.)

(More: On Nov. 10, 2024, Netanyahu said he had spoken to Trump 3 times since he got elected (3 times in the last 5 days), and they see eye-to-eye on the Iranian threat and the expansion of peace in other realms.)

(More: I have also seen speculation that those that are running the Biden administration may try to tie Trump’s hands on several issues before he is inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2025.)

(More: I have seen speculation that the Biden administration may try to get a UN resolution to force the Two-State Solution on Israel and a withdrawal of Israel from Gaza and Lebanon. An Israeli withdrawal would prevent Israel from winning the war and allow Hamas and Hezbollah to rebuild their terrorist organization.)

(FYI: If you want a blessing, go to the following link and watch what happened when Trump finished his victory speech; about 1 ½ minutes.)

Two, concerning antisemitism, the world turning against Israel and the Jews returning to the Promised Land at the end of the age: on Nov. 8, 2024, it was reported that Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu was dispatching rescue planes to Amsterdam following a very violent incident against Israeli citizens.

Masked protestors attacked hundreds of Jews leaving a soccer game; some were chased and beaten, one was knocked unconscious, one was run over by a car, and more.

Video of the attack have been posted on social media.

(More: On Nov. 8-9, 2024, Israeli emergency planes flew 2,000 Jews from Amsterdam to Israel, and there may be more in the near future.)

(More: On Nov. 11, 2024, it was reported that the violent attacks on Jews in Amsterdam was organized by a former employee of the UN Relief and Works Agency. According to the Bible, the entire world will be against Israel at the end of the age, and repeatedly, UN employees or former UN employees have been caught attacking or killing Jews. Most recently, Israel provided irrefutable evidence that some were involved in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack that started the Israel-Hamas war.)

(My opinion: People need to wake up to the fact that Islam is not a religion of peace. As I understand it, they are at war with all non-Muslims until they have converted the entire world to Islam. Then they think there will be peace on earth.)

Three, concerning world leaders wanting Israel to withdraw from Gaza (which will let Hamas rebuild its military there): Israel has captured computers with thousands of hours of videos of Hamas terrorists torturing Palestinian citizens.

Many victims are chained to a torture area with a sack over their head, and they are crying and begging while a Hamas terrorist is beating them.

Some human rights activists have warned that this was happening, but the UN, EU, U.S., Arabs, and others ignored it.

(My opinion: It is not hard for me to believe that terrorists that would burn Jews alive, kill babies, rape women, and take hostages – as they did on Oct. 7, 2023 – would torture Palestinians to control them.)

Four, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on Nov. 8, 2024, it was reported that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, posted the following message on X (Twitter).

  • The world will certainly see the day when the Zionists (Israel) are defeated in a resounding defeat by the resistance (Iran and its allies).

Iran will try to destroy Israel, but they will fail (Ezek. 38:18-23; Amos 9:15).

Five, concerning Iran: on Nov. 11, 2024, Joel Rosenberg (author, speaker, Editor-in-Chief of All Israel News) speculated that Trump’s election means that if Iran attacks Israel, Israel’s response will be much greater than it would have been under Harris.

The Ayatollah is now facing a great dilemma (just a couple of months to act before U.S. military support for Israel greatly increases), and he must back down on his threats to attack Israel or risk losing his oil wells, nuclear reactor, and a lot more.

(More: On Nov. 11, 2024, it was reported that the prospects for a ceasefire in Lebanon before Trump takes office look good. It is beginning to look like Israel will withdraw from Lebanon, Hezbollah will pull back across the Litani River, and Israel will retain the right to go back in if Hezbollah does not keep the agreement.)

(My opinion: Israel will eventually have to go back in because Muslims do not keep ceasefires and peace treaties. The claim that Islam is a religion of peace is false. The goal of Islam is to gain control of every nation on earth and force all people to worship Allah. To Islam, peace means everyone on earth must worship their god.)

(More: On Nov. 13, 2024, it was reported that Iran is postponing its promised third attack on Israel in the hope of reaching a deal with President-elect Donald Trump, who has taken a hard line on Iran.)

Six, concerning an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters at the end of the age, on Nov. 9, 2024, it was reported that some parts of Colorado received more than 4 ft. of snow.

Over a 3-day period, San Isabel (in the southeast area of the state) received 54.9 inches (probably a record).

Seven, concerning a peace treaty and the expansion of Israel’s borders at the end of the age: on Nov. 12, 2024, it was reported that Israeli Prime Min. Benjamin Netanyahu is planning to declare Israeli sovereignty over all the Jewish settlements and settlement blocks in Judea and Samaria after former Pres. Trump takes office.

It was also reported that Trump may not support it, but he probably wouldn’t oppose it either.

It appears that Trump wants it to be part of a normalization agreement.

We could know soon after Trump takes office.

Eight, concerning God’s promise to bless those that bless Israel and to curse those that curse Israel: on Nov. 12, 2024, Worthy News reported that Trump’s incoming U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, said:

  • There is no such thing as the West Bank – it’s Judea and Samaria.
  • There is no such thing as settlements – they’re communities, they’re neighborhoods, they’re cities.
  • There is no such thing as an occupation.

Nine, concerning Huckabee’s appointment, Joel Rosenberg of All Israel News said:

  • Mike is a dear friend, a devout Evangelical follower of Jesus Christ, and one of the most influential pro-Israel voices in the Christian world.
  • His appointment is an unmistakable sign of just how seriously Trump regards the enormous influence of the tens of millions of Evangelical Christians in the United States who love Israel and the Jewish people.
  • This is the first time in history that an American president has chosen an ambassador to Israel who is so openly and unashamedly committed to his love for Jesus Christ and the Bible.

Here is my daily update on the Israel-Hamas war.

Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024 (Day 397) The three hundred and forty-second day of the resumed war. Day 175 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Hezbollah fired more than 150 rockets and about 20 drones at Israel.
  • Israel struck several targets in Lebanon in civilian centers south of the Litani River.

Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024 (Day 398) The three hundred and forty-third day of the resumed war. Day 176 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Israel struck 20 sites in Lebanon north of the Litani River, killing at least 60 Hezbollah terrorists.
  • Hezbollah fired 120 rockets and several drones at Israel.

Friday, Nov. 8, 2024 (Day 399) The three hundred and forty-fourth day of the resumed war. Day 177 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Biden’s Defense Sec. (Lloyd Austin) warned Israel that it is at risk of losing access to some U.S. weapons if it does not produce credible evidence that it has improved the supply and distribution of aid to Gazan noncombatants.
  • Israel has captured or killed about 2,000 terrorists in Gaza in the last 3 weeks. The U.S. and UK struck 9 Houthi weapons facilities in Yemen.

Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024 (Day 400) The three hundred and forty-fifth day of the resumed war. Day 178 of the attack on Rafah.

  • The U.S. and UK struck 9 Houthi weapons facilities in Yemen.

Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024 (Day 401) The three hundred and forty-sixth day of the resumed war. Day 179 of the attack on Rafah.

  • The U.S. and UK struck 9 Houthi weapons facilities in Yemen.
  • Israel said it found a terror compound (command rooms, living quarters, weapon storage facilities, weapons, and combat equipment) under a cemetery in Lebanon and sent in hundreds of trucks and concrete mixers to fill it with about 159,000 cubic feet of concrete.
  • Israel assassinated a Hezbollah commander that killed the Prime Min. of Lebanon in 2005.

Monday, Nov. 11, 2024 (Day 402) The three hundred and forty-seventh day of the resumed war. Day 180 of the attack on Rafah.

  • Hezbollah in Lebanon fired about 175 rockets at Israel.

Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2024 (Day 403) The three hundred and forty-eighth day of the resumed war. Day 181 of the attack on Rafah.

  • The U.S. announced that Israel has improved the humanitarian aid shipments to Gaza, so the U.S. will not withhold the shipment of weapons to Israel.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

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.
