Jesus tells us that the GOODMAN will not know when the bridegroom is coming. That event will occur before the 70th week of Daniel. The last trump is for the Jews. The coming of Jesus occurs at the 6th seal before wrath. Jeus will remain in the clouds and send His angels to gather the elect from heaven and earth. The Jews will not be taken by surprise when the day of the Lord comes. They will know that He is coming at the last trump. The Church will not know when He is coming.
Meaning we do not know the exact day nor hour. Jesus himself tells us in Matt. 24:32-35 that we will know THE SEASON, what about that do you not get? The day and hour as I explained in vivid detail, comes from the Jewish New Year being on a Lunar Calendar, thus not a KNOWN ENTITY, but...... THEY KNEW THE SEASON, it could only happen over a 2 day period of time, so if we will listen, Jesus is merely telling us I will end the Harvest/Church Age at the Fathers behest, just like the Lunar moon was always on God Time !! But, there was basically close to 360 days in a year, so if the year has 358 days go by, you know one of the next few days is the New Moon, and thus the New Year, and thus on God Time the Harvest Ends !! So, if the example Jesus/God gave us was within a couple of days of the actual ending of the Harvest, LIKEWISE we will be hip to the end time by looking at all of the signs. One sign is Israel had to be a Nation, when God brought them back into the land He said it would be END TIMES !! God said it would be as the days of Noah, well we know God was so angry at all the wickedness he destroyed the whole world by a flood. I see that same evil in the world today, people call good evil, and evil good, people push homosexuality and transsexuality on our kids etc. So, of course Jesus gave us 10-12 SIGNS in Matt. 24:4-31, need me to give them to you?
1.) The Temple is destroyed in 70 AD 2.) A false christ is put forth by the Jews pre 70 AD to try and save them from Rome thus fulfilling John 5:43. 3.) Wars and Rumors of wars = Jerusalem/Israel being sacked in 70 AD, these first three cover verses 4-6 or AD 65-70. 4.) Turning now to the Church Age in verses 7-14, we see the beginning of sorrows or Birth Pangs via many Wars, Pestilences (Black Plague/COVID 19 etc. many more), MANY EARTHQUAKES that get more frequent 5.) Then the Disciples all get Martyred save John (THEY will deliver you up to be killed) 6.) False Prophets do this, not a false christ as in verse 5, this is the Jupiter/Zeus type High Priests who are angry that Paul/Peter etc. were turning their patrons unto the real God. 7.) Jesus then speaks of the End Times in verse 14, the Rapture can only come when the Gospel has been preached unto the whole world, Jesus forewarns them they will all die, thus he says only those who ENDURE until the end will make heaven, in other words Jesus warned them against being like unto Judas.
Everything past verse 14 is the coming 70th week.
8.) The AoD will be placed by the False Prophet the Jews will flee Judea. 9.) There will be times of Great Tribulation like never seen before on earth. 10.) We will see THE Anti-Christ and THE False Prophet in verse 24. 10.) We see the Sun and Moon go dark by 1/3.
So, those who understand these SIGNS understand that in order for this Sun & Moon to go dark an Asteroid, as seen in Rev. 8 has to come, and with our modern telescopes we will understand what is coming, now we can know THE SEASON, just as Jesus stated in the Parable of the Fig Tree which has nothing to do with Israel's rebirth, and everything to do with with us discerning the times we are in.
For 2000 plus years could the bride see the end time signs ? No, but in the very end we can and should know THE SEASON not the exact day nor hour. So, are you actually telling me you do not understand that Apophis will be the Day of the Lord? And that the Pre Trib Rapture must happen AT LEAST 3.5 years before that? Now it could happen 4.5 years before that for all I know in the Fall of 2024, but it has to happen on a Feast of Trumps, which covers like 10 days in total if I am not mistaken, and the actual Trumps end the Harvest. Look around, look at the wickedness, Apophis "THEY SAY" will come withing 19 K miles of the earth, why did Trump create the Space Force? Why about two months ago were they trying to move a space rock around with a rocket, testing for a future needed encounter? Since the DOTL will happen on April 13, 2029, the Rapture has to happen in the fall of 2025 OR BEFORE. We the Church will not be in the 70th week.
Ahhh, you are hung up on that same 6th Seal stuff. You can't get past it. The Seals DO NOTHING, they are Jesus prophesying what the Trumpet Judgments bring, the DOTL only happens with the first four Trumps which are all ONE EVENT, the DOTL starts with the Asteroid Impact. The Jews will repent just before the DOTL, as Zechariah 13:8-9 shows, seeing as the very next verse is Zech. 14:1 and shows the DOTL arriving. They never see Jesus returning (pre trib wise) else they would have to have been saved prior to the Pre Trib Rapture. Evidently you are conflating the LAST TRUMP with a Revelation Trump, which it has absolutely nothing to do with. It astonishes me when a guy is PRE TRIB but then rejects the very things that prove it because he has other ideas on things like the 6th Seal Return, you need to let that go, a SEAL binds a Book or Scroll, that is all. Jesus is FORTETELLING what the Anti-Christ does over the last 42 months in Seals 1-5 AND FORETELLING what the Wrath of God brings over the exact same 42 month period of time in Seal #6. Both start in Rev. 8 however, that is why the 7th Seal is over in Rev. 8. Do you know the exact reason why heaven is silent ? For the same reason it grieved God to have to destroy the whole evil world by a flood, thus there is no celebration, no glorying in Heaven, we understand that Heaven is sad because Judgment has come finally in Rev. 8 with the opening of the 7 Sealed Scroll of Judgments, thus the SILENCE. The LAST TRUMP is Pre Trib, it ends the Harvest or Church Age. NO ONE will know the exact day nor hour BUT.......we can know THE SEASON.
Ain't that the truth brother.
Yes, we will know the Season. Its now, Amen.
I believe that the Church will be gone BEFORE the 70th week begins. Part of the Jews cannot have their blindness removed until the fulness of the Gentiles comes in.
Romans 11
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Yes indeed we are gone before the 70th week, Israel only repents as a Nation during the 70th week, that is why I said they will not understand the LAST TRUMP which is Jesus ending the Harvest. What happens first in the 7 Feasts? Is the Harvest ended before the Feast of Atonement? Yes, and Atonement happens BEFORE the Feast of Tabernacles, which represents Jesus ruling Jerusalem for 1000 years, Israel DWELLS with God or TABERNACLES with God/Jesus. Only during the 70th week does Israel as a Nation repentant. Before that only individual Jews come unto the Lord thus the IN PART.
We differ here as I believe the Church will be raptured on Pentecost, the first harvest feast. I know people think this feast was fulfilled by the Church receiving the Holy Spirit but no harvest has occurred. The Church will be raptured at the early summer harvest feast....Summer is near.
No, we are the First-fruits of the Barley, Israel are the First-fruits of the Wheat, Barley can be sifted without being crushed, Wheat has to be crushed before it can be sifted. The 7 Feasts tell the whole story, 1.) Passover via Jesus Christs saving blood 2.) Unleavened Bread (he knew no sin 3.) First-fruits (Jesus was the first-fruits of the Grave, not the Church.
The Harvest/Pentecost started the Church Age, (REMEMBER? Jesus returned with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost) 4.) Feast of Weeks ( Why would the Rapture be here? This is the 2000 some odd year Church Age, or TIME OF THE GENTILES, when the 5.) Feast of Trumps blow (the LAST TRUMP) the Harvest will end, then Israel MUST ATONE which equals the coming 6.) Feast of Atonement and then finally the Kingdom Age comes in via the 7.) Feast of Tabernacles where Jesus will dwell with Israel for 1000 years.
God subs in the Church (Gentiles/a people I have not known) to take the place of a backslidden Israel, who MUST REPENT or ATONE before the 70th week ends. So, the LAST TRUMP ends the Summer Harvest just like it did for Israel, then Israel must ATONE, only then can Jesus RETURN to Dwell with Israel for the Kingdom Age. The Harvest ENDS in the fall, not the Summer.
The time draws nigh that's for sure. Evil gets worse every day. Thanks for your response.
EXACTLY........God Bless
