Predicting the Date

[Heb 13:8]

Not the Dragon and the stars being the reason...why take us out of the way when G-d can protect us...particularly when Yeshua said not to take us out of the world?

I'd be delighted...but that is not what Yeshua asked for.

Well, actually it is because of the red dragon, and that the church is not appointed to wrath. Isa 26:17-21 is pre-trib rapture scripture. Notice how it's talking about a pregnant woman. Israel is pregnant with the body of Christ as we speak and is giving birth this September. The "harpazo" rapture is actually considered "a rescue".

Isa 26:17-21 As a pregnant woman about to give birth writhes and cries out in her pain, so were we in your presence, Lord. 18We were with child, we writhed in labor, but we gave birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth, and the people of the world have not come to life. 19But your dead will live, Lord; their bodies will rise— let those who dwell in the dust wake up and shout for joy— your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead. 20Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. 21See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed on it; the earth will conceal its slain no longer.

1 Thess 5:9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Pet 3:9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.

 

[Questor]

Isaiah 26 is talking about the resurrection of the dead, those that are of the ones that the Angels are sent to gather from all corners of the earth, just as Sha'ul stated, that no one was to worry about having missed the 'Day of the Lord' when someone got down, and said it was never going to happen...which people have been saying since Yeshua ascended to Heaven.

1 Corinthians 15:52-53 (KJV)
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

And Isaiah 26:20 is talking about us simply waiting it out, and being protected by G-d.

And 1st Thessalonians 5 is not about us escaping wrath...it applies to the sentences before it...it does not stand on it's own.

1 Thessalonians 5:6-10 (KJV)
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

And the verse goes on to say that whether we live or die, we will be with him...now, and in eternity. It is not about leaving the planet.

And then Sha'ul goes on to talk about the fact that the day will not come until the A/C is revealed...and that hasn't happened. He has to sit down in the Temple and proclaim himself G-d before we can even be said to be in the right time period for Yeshua to return.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-5 (KJV)
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

Too many things have not happened yet, and we are told specifically what happens before Yeshua returns for us, and he does not return twice.

***No 7 year Covenant has been confirmed by a present ruler that can be said to be the A/C.
***The Two Witnesses haven't shown up.
***The Apostasy, the falling away, has not happened because there is no one to worship, and no one claiming worship yet.
***There is no Temple
***None of the environmental catastrophes have happened yet...the Sun can only be darkened, and the Moon be blood red at the same time when there is smoke in the air, or ash, or both...just like when it happened for a short while after Desert Storm when they were putting out the Oil Wells that Hussein's forces lit on fire.

Do you not see that the entire setup is for a whole lot of people to be deceived into worshipping the wrong person, or coming to believe that the entire church was lied to about the 'Pre-Trib' Rapture, making them so angry that they turn away from G-d in disbelief? Both are apostasy!

Most of the people on the earth will deceived into thinking the A/C is Yeshua because they do not get taken out of the way before the A/C shows up.

They will not be prepared in the Western World emotionally or mentally, to stand against the persecution that is only tribulation, and not wrath...wrath is when Yeshua goes into action, and the Angels are dumping out the Vials on the earth. The Eastern World doesn't accept the Pre-Trib theory because they are under persecution now, and it's not going to be any different in the future, for them, and eventually for us. It never has been.

But G-d has promised to protect us from his Wrath if we will trust him when it is poured out, and that's at the end of the final 7 years...not the beginning.

Yes, a crucial conjunction in Virgo and Leo is occurring to meet the description of Revelation 12:4 to tell us the time is at hand, but that is all...that is happening in the sky, not on the ground. The Sun, Moon and stars are for Signs, to tell us something is about to happen, and G-d has told us what is going to happen, not a promise of rescue.

And in the constellation Serpens, below the feet of Virgo, the Serpent is always waiting for the Child of the the Woman, and has by Passover of 2021 had it's own conjunctions with the stars and planets moving to give it 10 stars above it's head (Corona Borealis), and 7 stars in it's head, and 10 in it's tail. The Dragon is always waiting for the 'child of the woman', to devour it, but the Conjunction of Serpens comes in it's turn, time-wise...just as John described, coming after the Conjunctions in Virgo and Leo.

These are Timing markers, and yes, do describe what happens in the 'heavens'...literally, since the stars are in the heavens. And yes, the Prophecy in Rev 12:3-4 does describe the Adversary being forced out of the 3rd Heaven at that point in time, cast into this universe, and presumably, possessing whoever the A/C is, and 'having only a short time...3.5 years remaining in the 7 year cycle described by the constellation conjunctions when matched with Daniel's prophecies....then sets about trying to kill all of of us.

We seem to be beginning the final 7 year period with this last 2550 days between Tishrei 1 2017 and Tishrei 10 2024, but there is nothing, anywhere that states that the church is pulled out of the world. It is merely an assumption read into the text. Everything actually states that those with the Mark of G-d are protected, just as the 'Woman' is protected in the wilderness...not taken away.

 

[Heb 13:8]

Isaiah 26 is talking about the resurrection of the dead,

Right, the dead who are being raptured Questor. Notice the word "harpazo" in both passages..

1 Thess 4:13-17 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up (harpazo) together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

Rev 12:1-5 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman (Israel) clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She (Israel) was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon (Satan) with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon (Satan) stood in front of the woman (Israel) who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child (teknon the church) the moment he was born. 5 She gave birth to a son (huios Jesus Christ himself), a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” And her child (teknon the church) was snatched up (harpazo) to God and to his throne.

Too many things have not happened yet,

I do believe the chaos occurs after rapture. Otherwise, rapture would not come like a thief in the night to nonbelievers Matt 24:38-39. It'll be business as usual up until rapture.

***No 7 year Covenant has been confirmed by a present ruler that can be said to be the A/C.

I do believe God confirms the Dan 9:27 covenant, and the antichrist opposes it.

Dan 11:28 The king of the North will return to his own country with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant. He will take action against it and then return to his own country.

Dan 11:30 Ships of the western coastlands will oppose him, and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back and vent his fury against the holy covenant. He will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.

***The Two Witnesses haven't shown up.

Right, because they show up 30 days after rapture at the start of the 70th week. Notice in Rev 11 it mentions the 1260 days. You have to take in account the 1260, 1290, 1335 days to properly insert a timeline. Rapture in Dan 12:11 kicks off the 1290 days. We are the sacrifice being taken away, Rom 12:1.. HEAVENLY SIGN 2017

***The Apostasy, the falling away, has not happened because there is no one to worship, and no one claiming worship yet.

Actually, the falling away is rapture. Notice the word "first"..

2 Thess 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away (rapture) first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

646 apostasía (from 868 /aphístēmi, "leave, depart," which is derived from 575 /apó, "away from" and 2476 /histémi, "stand") – properly, departure (implying desertion); apostasy – literally, "a leaving, from a previous standing."

***There is no Temple

I do believe it will be built after rapture, when the chaos begins. Nothing like, millions of people vanishing from the planet and a good cup of coffee to kick start your day, to start looking for that false peace amidst the chaos.

But G-d has promised to protect us from his Wrath if we will trust him when it is poured out, and that's at the end of the final 7 years...not the beginning.

Right, but this protection is in heaven. Notice that we are taken up into the air and to God's throne in 1 Thess 4:17, Rev 12:5. We are nowhere near earth. The harpazo is before the 70th week because Israel is giving birth to the body of Christ this September, and the child is caught up to God right away.

But G-d has promised to protect us from his Wrath if we will trust him when it is poured out, and that's at the end of the final 7 years...not the beginning.

That also goes against scripture. Believers are the restrainer holding darkness back and are considered children of the light and children of the day. The 70th week is 7 years of darkness. God would be in contradiction.

Joel 2:1-2 Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming. It is close at hand-- 2a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like dawn spreading across the mountains a large and mighty army comes, such as never was in ancient times nor ever will be in ages to come.

Amos 5:18 Alas, you who are longing for the day of the LORD, For what purpose will the day of the LORD be to you? It will be darkness and not light;

Zeph 1:15 That day will be a day of wrath-- a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness--

1 Thess 5:5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

Yes, a crucial conjunction in Virgo and Leo is occurring to meet the description of Revelation 12:4 to tell us the time is at hand, but that is all...that is happening in the sky, not on the ground. The Sun, Moon and stars are for Signs, to tell us something is about to happen, and G-d has told us what is going to happen, not a promise of rescue.

Well, that is not all. Rev 12:1-5 is a rapture sign, and is also pointing to the Day of the Lord and the 70th week. The "harpazo" is actually considered a rescue..

Jude 1:23 save others by snatching (harpazó) them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

 

[Heb 13:8]

And in the constellation Serpens, below the feet of Virgo, the Serpent is always waiting for the Child of the the Woman, and has by Passover of 2021

It's interesting that when we place rapture (the year of overcoming the enemy and complete victory) on 9/21/17, the abomination of desolation will then land on Passover on 4/2/21 when the great tribulation begins (the year of the great wickedness of rebellion and sin) and the second coming of Christ will also land on the Day of Atonement on 9/13/24 (the year and millennium of priesthood).

Yes, if this is the correct 3550 day period in the many time periods that will follow this particular set of conjunctions. Abba is warning he will act...but he is not saying anything that is not already in the Scriptures, and you have said nothing new. The only things that have occurred are that a little more information has been accumulated to allow us to speculate on the meaning of Daniel's prophecies, and that the same undocumented and undocumentable theories have been restated.

You sound like a Progressive stating talking points over every question raised on a News Show that do not address the question asked by the Commentator.

Throwing words and verse quotes at me does not impress, anymore than gematria does, when they are just cut and pasted out of the blue, with no supporting text, and no argument that will stand to back them up.

You continue to refuse the questions raised. You do not even intellectually examine my very real concerns.

You see, I want to be 'caught up' at the earliest possible time Yeshua will cause it to happen, but there is nothing in your arguments, or that of Hal Lindsey, or LaHaye and every other pre-trib rapturalist, because none of you answer the real questions put you. You skip over the questions, and say what you believe is proved, not what I want an answer about.

True, but not every day is Jupiter in the womb of Virgo for 42 weeks.

It is a Constellation in an unusual conjunction, not an actuality...the Devil is always at the foot of the Virgin, Israel, and waiting for a chance at her child. And star signs are just that...signs that G-d is about to do something, but not when, and not how.

Well, yes there is. It's the word harpazo.

Except that harpazo only means being caught or snatched away...as Philip once was from the side of the Ethiopian Eunuch. It does not mean caught up to heaven. It is merely the description of a quick action.

◄ 726. harpazó ►
Strong's Concordance
harpazó: to seize, catch up, snatch away
Original Word: ἁρπάζω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: harpazó
Phonetic Spelling: (har-pad'-zo)
Short Definition: I seize, snatch, obtain by robbery
Definition: I seize, snatch, obtain by robbery.

HELPS Word-studies
726 harpázō – properly, seize by force; snatch up, suddenly and decisively – like someone seizing bounty (spoil, a prize); to take by an open display of force (i.e. not covertly or secretly).



Stay in your comforting fantasy, and do not bother to prepare yourself for other possibilities...it is your decision to be blind when you need not be, because you will not look at what I have said, only what your emotional response calls up from memorized answers provided you by those that also refuse to actually look for what is not to be found.

Your hints and half sentences do not offer proof, but only a learned theory read into a few combined snatches of text that are taken out of context, and cobbled together into an ill-fitting shoe.

I truly wanted to see if there was anything I had not heard in 47 years of searching the scriptures, and there is nothing except G-d's protection when it is in his perfect will to protect those who ask for it, and his enablement to get me through anything that life can throw at me. Fortunately, I was only disappointed in the lack of a considered discussion, with reasonable examination of the texts. Persecution and tribulation are guaranteed to all of us by Yeshua and those words only mean trials and pressure, which are not wrath, and never should be mistaken to be so.

15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the LORD, that we which are alive and remain unto the Coming of the LORD shall not prevent [literally, precede] them which are asleep. 16 For 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: 17Then 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. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these Words" (1Thessalonians 4:13-18).

If any of us make to the time of Yeshua's return, I daresay it will be before the Thunders and the Vials, which are the wrath of G-d against an evil world, and I know none of us that are Yeshua's will go through that.

May G-d bless and keep all of us through the difficult days ahead.

 

[Heb 13:8]

because none of you answer the real questions put you. You skip over the questions, and say what you believe is proved, not what I want an answer about.

What question are you referring too?? Ask me now.

It is a Constellation in an unusual conjunction, not an actuality

Well, it is an actuality. Constellations and the sun, moon, stars and planets are actual moving objects in the heavens. This unusual conjunction as you say is in the Word of God.

the Devil is always at the foot of the Virgin, Israel, and waiting for a chance at her child.

Right, but only once in 7,000 years is Virgo clothed in the sun, with the moon at her feet and a crown of 12 stars (planets) at her head giving birth to Jupiter. This rare alignment only occurs once ever in history on Stellarium software.

signs that G-d is about to do something, but not when, and not how.

Amos 3:7 Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

1 Thess 5:4-6 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.

Rev 3:3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.

Except that harpazo only means being caught or snatched away...as Philip once was from the side of the Ethiopian Eunuch. It does not mean caught up to heaven. It is merely the description of a quick action.

Where do you think God's throne is in Rev 12:5?

Rev 4:2-4 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. 4Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.

Rev 4:9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:

Rev 5:13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”

Rev 7:9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” 11All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

Rev 12:5 She gave birth to a son (huios Jesus Christ himself), a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” And her child (teknon the church) was snatched up (harpazo) to God and to his throne.

Rev 19:1-5 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, 2for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.” 3And again they shouted: “Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.” 4The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried: “Amen, Hallelujah!” 5Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both great and small!”

May G-d bless and keep all of us through the difficult days ahead.

Difficult days for nonbelievers yes, blessed days for the church.

Think of it this way, believers are the restrainer holding back darkness. Once the rapture occurs the lights are turned off, similar to how you turn your lights off in your house. The children of God are of the light and of the day, and the 70th week is 7 years of darkness. If the church entered into the 70th week, God would be in contradiction..

Joel 2:1-2 Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming. It is close at hand— 2a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like dawn spreading across the mountains a large and mighty army comes, such as never was in ancient times nor ever will be in ages to come.

Amos 5:18 Woe to you who long for the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? That day will be darkness, not light.

Zep 1:15 That day will be a day of wrath— a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness—

1 Thess 5:5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
