You were fortunate enough to know about the Rapture as a child. Those who are left behind will likely get a cold chill up their spine. When the Church is taken, the Restrainer will be taken out of the way. The Holy Spirit restrains evil and certainly works through His Church to restrain evil. Evil will be unleashed when this happens - a scary thought.

We figure if a Solar Eclipse occurred on the day Jesus was crucified, and that was on Nissan 14, then a full moon could only have been on the 1st. However, there is no record of any solar eclipses between 30 -34 AD that were visible in Jerusalem. Besides, the sun goes dark for only a few minutes - not three hours. It must have been just a supernatural event caused by God. Still, the definition of a new moon as being full seems clear in Psalm 81:3.
BTW, on Oct. 7 it will be a super/ harvest moon a @ 6:47 AM with the sun rising 10 minutes earlier.
What are you talking about? Anything goes! There is no sense of truth and sanity in your repeated false predictions?

There is no shame, no conviction, no apologies and no repentance. Scary!

What a religious circus!!!

I agree. It seems strange that not everyone who was all in with this in the first time around, will not consider the Julian calendar issue now. Or at least investigate it. Like Mike at Medic4Christ. He doesn't want anything to do with it. He's out. He's closing his channel. That's it. Which would be a funny thing to do if the second coming was beginning next week. It's almost like he's mad it wasn't him who got the calendar idea. Each part of the body of Christ seems to have varied talents. I'm also a bit disappointed there's not more like you and me who wants to dig in and get to the bottom of the information, rather than just argue the doctrines of Rapture, speaking from their own theologies. Some guys don't even review the materials, but are eager to lash out at the subject matter of the OP.

But even when he was doing the livestream last Tuesday, I thought the whole thing was strange. They were making it like a game show. Joshua was all pumped up, like he was A BILLION PERCENT SURE. And MY WORDS WILL NOT FALL TO THE GROUND. The people were happy go lucky. Too giddy. Now it's changed. The people are more serious, more humble. Even Joshua in his Friday interview with the silly Cent Twins. He seemed a bit more intense, he was stern with them, cautioning them to not interrupt him, not to break the flow of his thought.

When this thing started, after I had reviewed the hours of materials, I said I couldn't find anything to disqualify Joshua. And I gave it a 50/50 chance. But right now, with the Julian Calendar issue, it looks like this all was baked in the cake. That delay in days between the two calendars. So I would have to increase my view on the likelihood of success now to maybe 60/40, or even 75/25. Like a kind of Pascals Wager, based on the magnitude of the event we are considering, it might be best to proceed as though it is a sure thing. And maybe be thankful for the additional time we have. I wonder if God planed it this way on purpose? At least we don't have long to wait this time. Next weekend should be fun, and right on the verge of a full moon.

I was reading that everyday there are roughly 360,000 new babies born. Probably some of those were meant to be our brothers and our fellow servants. They probably want to go in the Rapture too. Whether they know it or not. I have a hunch we will each have our own angel, to gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Peaceful Sabbath.
You know, it just seems like people aren't ready for the Rapture ( I mean those who actually believe there will be one). Most of them just don't have oil in their candles I guess? They're maybe too comfortable in this world, conformed, settled in their ways, jobs ... cruisin ... don't want any interuptions quite yet. "Soon Lord ... but not now... I have too many plans ..." They want more out of this life ... Many items on their bucket list haven't been checked. Or "I'm too young" ... "I just graduated school"... "What the heck ... we have a baby coming!" And for those who think we must go through the entire Great Tribulation before we are taken out, well who can get excited about catastrophic devastation, years of misery and suffering unless you are lucky enough to die quickly?
As far as the Amils go, they weren't invited ...just ignor them, they come out of the gate like madmen with machetes trying to hack apart the topic and it's perpetrator like a mob on a witch hunt.
>> I think the thread is about finished though, I received enough negative responses to close the topic in this forum with a general consensus of just another False prophecy.
We can communicate personally if you want. If not, take care brother.

Yes! Indeed. Nobody is ready but you. Yea, right! This is what Pretrib produces: a holier than thou mindset. We are the people. We are better than the rest. Pro 11:2 warns: "When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom."

It is based on a fallacy. It is totally unbiblical.

What a sad religious circus. You are treating sacred things with such a flippancy. So sad! This folly has brought confusion and shame upon the truth of Christ's return.

It is not just that this is a religious mess, it is the fact that you promote false teaching that does not enjoy one single proof text.

How about actually showing us any Scripture that teaches a rapture of the Church followed by a 7 years trib followed by a 3rd coming, instead of always voicing personal opinions?

Paul instructed the first church that the coming of the Lord and the end of the their world is so close that they should not marry and that they should even ignore their wives if they are married:

"The time that remains is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not...For this world in its present form is passing away."
1 Cor. 7:29

In the same letter, Paul continues:

..the ends of the ages have come.
1Cor 10:11

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed..."
1 Cor. 15:51

Do you believe Paul failed like this Jeshua guy?

A generation is 70 years according to Psalms 90:10.

The fig tree represents Jerusalem as Jesus cursed a fig tree beside the road as He and the disciples were about to enter Jerusalem, for having no fruit. Matthew 21:18-20.

Jerusalem became back in the hands of the Jews in 1967.

1967 + 70 = 2037

Jesus will return no later than end of 2037.

subtract 7 years, for the 70th week of Daniel 9:27 to begin by, and also the Gog/Magog event taking place, sometime before the end of 2030.
2008-1976=32

I don't understand what you are getting at ?
Because I saw the return of Jesus Christ in 2008.10.10, so believe it or not, I need to say it, Because my city is pronounced Zion. Isn't it amazing?But in the past the name of the city was "long peace"

10.10 is also a key historical time for the founding of New China,That was a revolution.

I have been inundated with many Youtube videos about the Rapture happening on Sept. 23-24, 2025. But many of them seemed fake, fabrications generated by AI.
This is popular now, AI generated stories or ads that are very articulate, creative as if written by a Phd in Journalism. Adults and children telling stories of accidents, (NDE's), going to heaven, seeing Jesus and returning to give us a message can't possibly all express themselves like Hemingway with a keen knowledge of the Bible.
AI can develop a story as one prompts it with particular parameters, styles, in line with Biblical truths in such a brilliant way - in seconds - with access to and information sifted from 5 billion books. It is quite amazing. But that is the flaw in it, it is not communicated in a common way.
So after listening to many of these fake AI stories that are usually generated for monetary purposes, which have all taken advantage of this date to attract attention, I just about dismissed the whole idea. Btw, it is the Feast of Trumpets on Tuesday - which many have supposed the last trumpet would be part of.
I woke up this morning and a notion came to me. When did these stories start appearing? Recently, most of them in August and September this year. But where did they get this idea? There must have been an original claim, with a real person talking and giving his account. And I found one story. The difference is, this one is not a near death experience, it was a 2018 Vision by this South African Christian named Joshua.
I don't know at this point if he is the real deal ... but maybe? But his story is interesting, it doesn't seem fabricated, he doesn't sound like a liar. What say you?
Don't mean to freak you out ... I mean I have been talking about this for 25 years and anticipating His return. And so I feel like the boy who cried wolf enough times and after a while, when a wolf really came, nobody would believe him.
Just pray everyday, ask Him to bless your family and keep you safe. Be thankful for what God has given you. He will return soon. ??? Please read 1 Cor. 15:51-55 & 1 Thes. 4:16-17
BTW, this goes against my belief sbout the timing of last trumpet, which I have for years believed it was the 7th Trumpet in Rev. 11:15. Oh well.

Here it is: https://share.google/eCLgNLuK2SMR0klwm

*** PREMILLENNIAL SAFE ZONE, NO AMILLENNIALS PLEASE!
Are you going to apologize for posting this sensationalistic deception and declare "Joshua" a false prophet?

To PROVE to you that God SAVED me in CHRIST and has blessed with the Holy Spirit, here is a prophesy from the LORD Jesus Christ:

Two years ago God spoke this prophesy to anyone who is willing to listen:
"There will be no pre-trib rapture in 2024 or 2025"

2024 Prophesy FULFILLED
2025 Prophesy in FULFILLMENT

All pre-fibbers are denying the words of Christ and worse!!!

JESUS Says: Immediately after the tribulation of those days.....I Come to gather My Elect"

pre-fibbers say: JESUS is wrong!!!
He does gather after the trib.
We all know that.
You have proved nothing.

By leaving out the gathering before the flood, (hello....mat 24 's OTHER GATHERING ) you make yourself a DISTORTER of God's WORD.

APOLOGIZE to heaven for misrepresenting the word of God


Psssst..that is called lying.
A fibber accusing us of fibbing.

Because of USA. It has nothing to do with Psalm 83. Today's Muslims are not those adversaries from the Psalm 83 and today's Israel is not God's people.

Actually the Lord raised up the USA to support the gospel going out to the world AND to support Israel

Today's moslems are the same as they were in ancient times... they seek to murder any and all who are connected with the Lord and the Jews are descendants of God's friend Abraham.

Those claiming the Lord has forsaken the descendants of Abraham are saying that because they speak in behalf of satan.
We know that because they opposes God's Word.

Romans 11:1
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid.

Those standing against Israel are cursed and are on the highway to hell and are too slow to realize it.


DIVERSIONARY tactics

That's what satan and his followers always say about God's Word.

Carnal minded people get carnal minded results... blindness to the Truth!


What verse are you looking at that says it is sinful?

Why don't you start a thread about how gambling and games of chance are blessings from "the lord"


Rapture theories makes God out to be a racist....

That's what the followers of the devil keep saying, among other lies seeing they don't accept the whole counsel of the Lord.


whosoever calls out on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

Probably be Muslims, Eastern Mystics, Pagans, even some Atheists.

These people are followers of satan and have not called upon the Lord clueless-doh.gif

The racist Jew haters always side with the moslems as they advocate for all Jews to be murdered.
These folks will be spending eternity with the devil and his crowd.

I recommend REPENTING of this sinful behavior, but rarely do these folks turn away from walking in darkness seeing the devil has blinded their understanding and they can no longer hear the Truth of God's Word being void of the Holy Spirit and all.

It's really sad to see those folks continuing on the highway to hell, it really is.

Lots of folks in the last days are blinded by the devil and cannot understand Truth so that's par for course seeing they have not the Spirit.
The last days were in the 1st century. You do not know what you are talking about.

But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.

It is not only Pretribbers that are being deceived and trying to deceive others. It's also Preterists and those who are not Preterists themselves, yet align with Preterist thinking, that are being deceived and trying to deceive others. How, you might ask? Simple--Matthew 24:21. The latter would have us believe that is not involving great wrath upon the church in the final days of this age, it's involving what happened to the Jews leading up to 70 AD. Therefore, no Christian has anything to worry about in the future regarding Matthew 24:21, because it has already been fulfilled almost 2000 years ago.


What then are these Pretribbers so scared of then, so scared to face in the future, if not Matthew 24:21 and what all that will be involving, such as the 42 month reign of the beast? That's what they are hoping to escape via a rapture before Matthew 24:21 begins being fulfilled, is it not? That's the only tribulation I'm aware of in the NT that calls it great tribulation. Not just great tribulation, but such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

From what I can tell, most Amils, though maybe not all Amils, insist Matthew 24:21 has already been fulfilled almost 2000 years ago. Sure, there are some Premils that insist that as well, yet I have noted more Amils insisting that than I have noted Premils insisting that. It mainly seems to be Amils that are more aligned with Preterist thinking than Premils being aligned with Preterist thinking.


Imagine that, agreeing with Preterists in Matthew 24 when Preterists can't even remotely interpret Matthew 24:30,31,34 correctly, for example. But somehow they can interpret Matthew 24:21 correctly, though?

Pretribbers and Preterists and those that align with Preterists have a lot in common. Both insist that the literal city of Jerusalem and a literal temple there is meant in Matthew 24:15-21. And both insist great tribulation is involving great tribulation upon unbelieving Jews. Regardless that Christ made the 2nd temple or any future rebuilt temple obsolete when He died and then the moment He rose.

Therefore, the holy place meant in Matthew 24:15 couldn't possibly be meaning the 2nd temple before it was destroyed, nor a rebuilt one in the future. Unless one wants to speak with a forked tongue and insist any and all man-made temples became obsolete when He died and then the moment He rose, thus no longer the holy place, but that the holy place meant in Matthew 24:15 is meaning a man-made temple, maybe the 2nd temple before it was destroyed, or maybe a rebuilt one in the future.

And the ironic thing about it is this. If Pretribbers argue for a rebuilt temple in the future, these same Preterists and those that align with them will then argue how can it mean a rebuilt temple in the future when Christ had already made man-made temples obsolete by His death and resurrection 2000 years earlier?

Talk about being hypocritical here. The holy place can't mean a rebuilt temple 2000 years after Christ died and rose but it can be and is meaning the 2nd temple 40 years after He died and rose. Except the argument is--Christ had already made man-made temples obsolete by His death and resurrection. Therefore, how can a rebuilt temple in the future not be valid but a 2nd temple 40 years later can be valid? No matter how you look at it, both views undeniably contradict the argument that Christ had already made man-made temples obsolete by His death and resurrection, period. As in end of story.

Rather than this instead---any and all man-made temples became obsolete when He died and then the moment He rose, therefore, the holy place meant in Matthew 24:15 can't be meaning a man-made temple, period.

And so what if I can't explain what the following might look like if not meaning in the literal sense--But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day(Matthew 24:20). But guess what? I also can't explain what the fleeing recorded in Revelation 18:4 might look like either, since I also do not take that in the literal sense.

Actually, in regards to Matthew 24:20, I don't need to explain anything to begin with. Christ's death and resurrection already explains it, that the holy place meant in verse 15 can't be meaning a man-made temple. Therefore, Matthew 24:20 can't be meaning in the literal sense unless it is a flat out lie that Christ's death and resurrection made any and all man-made temples obsolete, therefore, no man-made temple can be the holy place from that point on, ever again--- not 40 years later nor 2000 years later.
