As Christians, we are called to pray for God’s guidance and wisdom. At Rapture Ready we feel it is more imperative than ever for believers to stand together in prayerful unity as the world continues on a downward spiral toward the Tribulation hour. Calamity causes people to waste huge amounts of time fixated on watching the destruction instead of praying for protection and God’s miraculous interventions.
The Bible is filled with verses encouraging us to stay focused on praying for God’s will for our lives; for the safety and
Up to the final moments of our days on earth, until the day of the Rapture of the Church, we are dedicated to be prayer warriors for the cause of Christ. We have added this new page to invite and motivate our fellow believers to pray for the most pressing needs of the day.
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty” (1 Timothy 2)

Withstanding Evil Days
Head topic: As of this writing (Sat., April 13), Iran launched over 100 drones, heading toward Israel, its first-ever direct attack against Israel. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards confirmed it launched dozens of drones and missiles against specific targets in Israel. Israel’s Air Force was tracking the drones and preparing for additional waves of attacks, which may include missiles. Channel 12 news reported US and British warplanes have downed some Iranian drones over the Iraq-Syria border area, without citing sources. Syria also put on high alert its Russian-made ground-to-air defense systems around its capital Damascus and major bases in the event of an Israeli strike. Iran’s Defense Minister threatened a firm response to any country that “opens its airspace or territory for attacks on Iran by Israel.”

LAST DAYS TRAITORS
Top Democrats Make Unprecedented Statements Against Israel, Signaling Party Shift. A growing number of prominent US Democrats made statements calling to condition Washington’s military aid to Israel, even suggesting Israel is committing genocide.
Evil Walks Among Us. The Democrat Party doesn’t see the Devil on their shoulders, whispering in their ears. Whether it’s killing the most vulnerable among us (the unborn), allowing an invasion of our nation, or many other proofs that America is losing the fight against evil, we must prepare for the worst and get right with God.
National Public Radio exposed from the inside. “An open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR; now we don’t have an audience that reflects America. NPR purports to consider all things; however, around the time of President Trump’s first term, there was a shift away from reporting unbiased information to blatant attempts at influencing readers and listeners about “what they should think.”
AND THEIR TOTALITARIAN GLOBAL GOVERNMENT AGENDA
Western taxpayers funding global rollout of controligarchs’ surveillance and control system. Dozens of national governments are collaborating on a global initiative to implement “digital public infrastructure” within 5 years – enabling total surveillance and control of people. The program is guided by the UN and various elitists and funded by US and European taxpayers.

ECONOMIC AND FOOD INSECURITY
Americans Get Emotional As U.S. Economy Goes Off The Rails. CNN is actually admitting “long-predicted storm clouds in the economy may actually be forming.” It’s becoming extremely difficult for mainstream media to avoid the truth. Inflation is getting worse while many key sectors of our economy are slowing down.
WEATHER EVENTS
Severe storms unleash tornadoes and extreme floods across Texas and Louisiana. A severe weather outbreak hit the Gulf Coast and lower Mississippi Valley on April 10, with tornadoes, heavy rains, and high wind gusts. The storms caused at least one fatality in Mississippi and widespread destruction, including in New Orleans, which faced a Flash Flood Emergency. Investigations suggest the event might qualify as a serial derecho — a significant meteorological phenomenon. 14 confirmed tornadoes from Texas to Florida amid severe storm warnings.
Widespread record floods hit parts of Russia, flooding over 10,500 homes, causing at least three deaths. In Kazakhstan, two fatalities and nearly 75,000 displacements have been reported.

EARTHQUAKE EVENTS
The famous faultline running north to south of California will soon be due for a tremor. Given that the fault on California’s west coast runs close to cities including LA, San Diego, and San Francisco, a big quake could have a major impact.
One of the Main Points of the Eclipse – The giant “X” over the New Madrid fault zone, but few are talking about it. Also, a mini-swarm of 5 quakes hit the New Madrid, Missouri, area days before Monday’s historic total solar eclipse crossed that region. Someday, an apocalyptic earthquake along the New Madrid fault zone will permanently alter U.S. geography. But dividing Israel comes first, something Biden’s regime seems determined to do.
STRANGE COINCIDENCES… OR SOMETHING ELSE?
Is America’s Critical Infrastructure Under Attack? Someone commented, “Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action” – with that near-miss of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in New York joining the Key Bridge in Baltimore taken down, and the barge striking the bridge spanning the Arkansas River, causing officials to close the bridge. Also, over the past several years, countless numbers of our food processing plants mysteriously caught fire and trains mysteriously derailed.
More Strange “Coincidences”
—A rare 4.8 earthquake occurred in parts of the Northeast, with tremors felt from Washington, DC, to New York City to Maine on April 5, just 3 days before 4/8’s Great American Solar Eclipse that completed the giant X across the U.S.
–A UN Security Council meeting in New York City was taking place at the time the earthquake occurred. During the meeting, there was a call for Netanyahu to be replaced and Israel to be forced to cease wreaking destruction on defenseless Palestinians. The U.N. building was affected by the shaking.
–On April 3, a torrential storm struck the New York City area, during which an explosive lightning strike hit the Statue of Liberty’s torch.
–In recent days before, the Francis Scott Key Bridge (named after our national anthem’s author) in Baltimore collapsed when struck by a ship. This is one of the nation’s main shipping lanes.
WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS
Kim Jong Un: Be ready for war, he said in a speech. He based his warning on “the complicated international situation and unsafe, unstable military, and political situation around North Korea.”
This isn’t an ordinary war; it’s a multi-front war. The war in Gaza is different from any the world has seen. Israel is fighting for its existence. Hamas children are brainwashed from birth and throughout their schooling that it’s their land with rights to reconquer it (fully funded by the UN). After the October attack in Israel, the whole population of Gaza celebrated; they cheered and worse as hostages were marched through the streets. Iran uses Hamas and Hezbollah as their proxies in this war. The challenge facing Israel is to continue the war until Gaza of yesteryear ceases to exist, and a warning to other enemies that Israel has a choice: us or them.

US pledges to help Israel fend off Iran missile attack as Hezbollah launches rockets from Lebanon. The US is moving two US Navy destroyers nearby, according to reports. The tense situation in the Middle East was compounded Saturday after Hezbollah, an Iran proxy in Lebanon, launched 40 rockets into northern Israel.

CONCLUSION
Whole Lot of Shaking Going on in the Middle East. God is causing every biblical end-time player to move into place. A spiritual earthquake is rumbling in the earth. The shaking is being felt by every believer with ears to hear and eyes to see and who looks for the blessed hope of Jesus’ return. All signs appear to point to our day for the beginning of God’s move to protect His people and His land Israel, and to bring them into saving faith in their Messiah, Jesus.
Several prophets spoke of that day. For example, Zechariah wrote, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it” (Zechariah 12:2-3; emphasis added).
Knowing the Imminency of The Rapture Is Critical for Believers. Imminency tells us the Rapture might happen at any moment. However, as moments become years, we struggle to maintain our eager anticipation of Jesus’ appearing. Many wonder how close we’ll get to the start of the Tribulation before He comes for us. We see so many biblical signs of the end times, yet we wait. It’s not easy, not at all.
If The Bible Had No Prophecy… There Would Be No End in Sight. Suppose God had decided not to tell us about the Second Coming, ultimate victory over evil, and our future home in heaven and eternity. We’d have no idea what the future holds. All we’d know is the world is descending deeper into darkness, evil, and hopelessness. But because God provided us with glimpses of the glorious future that awaits us, we can live with hope.
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” (Ephesians 6:11-13).
