Rapture update 2/3/2021

I remember back in 1988 when there was excitement regarding the rapture of the church based on a biblical 40 year generation, everyone was saying this is it, and Jesus is coming to get us this year!

It seems some time has passed since then and the scriptures continue to give clear evidence that we are living in the final generation that will see Jesus return in all his glory to the earth, judge the nations and we will be with him worshiping him in glory for eternity.  

There seems to be some momentum building in regard to a May 2021 rapture date based on the state of Israel turning 80 on 5/14/2028. First let me tell you we don’t set dates here because the rapture can happen at any time!

The dates being floated are based on Israel being brought back into existence officially on May 14, 1948 adding 80 years (The time frame of a biblical generation) and deducting 7 years (The tribulation) and coming up with a 2021 rapture date.

I have a little different take on the dates coming up. First let’s look at Matthew 24: 21, 22 (Remember Jesus was speaking to the Jews in the book of Matthew) this chapter foretells what events will occur during the tribulation to the Jews (After the believers have been raptured).

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Pay particular attention to those days shall be shortened, I bring this up because there is much speculation and biblical evidence that the rapture will be during the fall feast of trumpets, I believe that this is a compete possibility.

This brings some conflicts with a biblical timeline of a 7 year tribulation ending within the 80 year generation of May 14, 2028, my interpretation is that if the rapture were to happen as late as the fall of 2021 the full 7 year tribulation would not be complete and would not fulfill the parable of the fig tree.

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

For those of you who don’t know, the fig tree refers to the state of Israel returning to its land as foretold by the prophets thus restarting the time clock to the end of days and moving closer to the final week of Danial’s 70 weeks (Otherwise known as the tribulation).

This is why the phrase those days shall be shortened are so important to keep in mind. God has his own timeline, when these things have been fulfilled that’s when Jesus will step his foot on the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4) and everything will proceed as written in the book of Revelation.

The take away

The rapture can occur at any time, if you haven’t already giving you heart to Jesus take action today, time is short, you are not guaranteed your next breath. I’m not telling you to get religious, here’s how to accept Jesus as your lord and savior.

A – ADMIT THAT YOU’RE A SINNER

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one / 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God

B – BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SINS

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. / 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

C – CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. / 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Sorry, our site was lost so we are rebuilding it, this was our first post actually dated 10/29/12

December 21, 2012

 Is the world going to end on this date?

 No matter what happens in the world on this day, I can assure you the world will still exist! That is not to say such usual occurrences as wars, famines, pestilence, earthquakes, volcanos, tornados, floods, hurricanes, droughts, etc. won’t continue to happen – It’s just not the end of the world.

Here is how to avoid the fear and uncertainty about the future; it’s quite simple in fact. Things that happen on this Earth are temporary. God rules all of our lives and with Him we can be assured no matter what the world throws at us we will have eternal life.    Jesus Christ is inviting you to accept his free gift of salvation,. (Revelation 3: 20-21 KJV) 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Biblically speaking, I personally don’t see anything cataclysmic happening on December 21st – no matter what the media might tell you. The next thing in the realm of cataclysmic events is the “Blessed Hope”. The rapture of the church (Jesus Christ’s true followers) from this world and let’s say all hell is going to break loose after that.

Following this will be the unveiling of the Anti-Christ with the eventual return of Jesus himself with the glorified church touching down on the Mount of Olives at the battle of Armageddon. (Revelation 16:16 KJV) And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

(Zechariah 14: 1-5 KJV)

1Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

5 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.

You know the rapture can occur at any time. Won’t you be ready with me?
