(above picture: rapture scene from 1972 movie ‘A Thief in the Night’)
***Before I begin I want to make something very clear: I’m not a date setter. I never will be a date setter. I’m a watchman on the wall. What does a watchman do? He watches and warns***
Could the rapture happen before January 20 2025? That is a very profound and captivating question filled with many question marks in the form of personal assumption. How can the rapture ever be a fact? Right? Wrong.
In a previous article I wrote I explained what that the rapture isn’t the Second Coming of YESHUA/JESUS. The rapture—which I personally call the ‘Snatching Away’—can be found in:
Revelation Ch 12:5 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, the one who will rule all the nations with a staff of iron. But her child was snatched up to God and his throne;
Revelation Ch 12:5 is not referring to the Birth of YESHUA/JESUS
John was being show things that were and what would be
Revelation Ch 1:19 So write down what you see, both what is now, and what will happen afterwards.
When YESHUA/JESUS was born HE was not snatched up to G-D and HIS Throne. In fact no one in Yerushalayim even knew YESHUA/JESUS had been born until the Magi (commonly referred to as the ‘Three Wise Men’) arrived and asked where the New Born King of the Jews was at. There was no battle in Heaven and no woman fled to the desert after YESHUA/JESUS was born. Joseph was warned in a dream to take YESHUA/JESUS and Mary to Egypt, but this was after the Magi visited which was probably around when YESHUA/JESUS was almost two years years old. The Torah requires a woman who gives birth to go the Temple and make the proper sacrifice and, if her son if first born, to dedicate her son to G-D.
Luke Ch 2: 21 On the eighth day, when it was time for his b'rit-milah, he was given the name Yeshua, which is what the angel had called him before his conception.
22 When the time came for their purification according to the Torah of Moshe, they took him up to Yerushalayim to present him to ADONAI
23 (as it is written in the Torah of ADONAI, "Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to ADONAI")
24 and also to offer a sacrifice of a pair of doves or two young pigeons,h as required by the Torah of ADONAI.
Mary wouldn’t have fled to the desert after giving birth to YESHUA/JESUS. Herod didn’t even know YESHUA/JESUS was born until the Magi arrived so he couldn’t have tried to devour our SAVIOR the moment he was born. YESHUA/JESUS was not snatched up to Heaven because when the time was right he was taken to Yerushalayim to be dedicated to G-D. There was no battle in Heaven between the dragon and its demons and Michael and His Angels.
Now that we have disproved the false teaching that the male child in Revelation Ch 12:5 is YESHUA/JESUS, we can ask ourselves: Who is the male child? The answer: The male child is the Body of YESHUA/JESUS (the believers who belong to HIM).
And we learn from Revelation Ch 12:4 this very important fact:
Revelation Ch 12:4 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of heaven and threw them down to the earth. It stood in front of the woman about to give birth, so that it might devour the child the moment it was born.
The dragon wants to devour the child the moment it is born.
This is why the male child is snatched up to G-D and HIS Throne. The rapture isn’t imminent and doesn’t happen at a random time. The rapture happens at an assigned period and for a certain reason. G-D saves the male child from being devoured. This means the dragon has the power and ability to devour the male child right this minute.
Before I continue I want to point out that I do believe the great sign Revelation Ch 12: 1-2 happened on September 23 2017
Revelation Ch 12: 1 Now a great sign was seen in heaven - a woman clothed with the sun, under her feet the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 She was pregnant and about to give birth, and she screamed in the agony of labor.
Now why do I suggest the rapture could be before January 20 2025? What Biblical guide do I have that has taken me down that path?
Many.
To begin with I want to point out something very interesting that happened in 2014 during a blood moon tetrad. Two cows with the number 7 on their heads were born. The first cow was born September 202014 on Shabbat. The second cow was born on Rosh HaShannah (Yom Teruah) which is considered a Shabbat as well. Now if you research how blood moon tetrads are connected to Israel you will see how prophetic the two cows being born were. I believe the two cows represented two sets of 7 years—7 years of good and 7 years of bad (Read about Pharaohs dreams in the book of Genesis).
I told my wife that if the 7 years of bad began Rosh HaShannah (Yom Teruah) 2023 something bad would have to follow as a sign. What happened? Israel was attacked on October 7 2023 and was forced to declare war. The last time Israel declared war was on October 6 1973 (Yom Kippur). Exactly 50 years and 1 day later Israel was forced to declare war again (50 years is a prophetic number—a Yovel). This was a major sign to me that the 7 years of bad had indeed began and would end on Rosh HaShannah 2030.
Why is the year 2030 so vital? I believe YESHUA/JESUS was crucified, buried, resurrected and ascended into Heaven in the year 30AD. I highly recommend reading what the Talmud recorded happening in that year on Yom Kippur. I take the Talmud as mere commentary and not fact but it is very interesting what was recorded.
Now we move onto the November elections that just passed. What were the chances the Presidential elections would happen during the second year of bad? I don’t believe in chance. Everything is G-D’s Perfect design.
I believe donald trump is the eighth king/beast in the book of Revelation Ch 17. I believe joe biden was the sixth king—the one who will remain for a short wall. On July 21 2024 biden announced he would stop running for president—and I believe that is when his power as president ended, exactly 1279 days from when he took office: a short while. Now biden is president by name only, not power.
If trump is the eighth king/beast in Revelation Ch 17 that means he would have to receive a fatal wound before January 20 2025. If that’s true then the male child would have to be snatched up to G-D and HIS Throne by that date. There is no way for trump to receive the fatal wound after he becomes president again because the vice president would take his place and become the ninth king. There are only eight, not nine.
I want to stop and point out that for many years I have wondered who the woman who gives birth to the male child is? I always assumed the woman was the nation of Israel but I had my doubts because she flees to the desert. But in the Book of Matthew YESHUA/JESUS commands:
Matthew Ch 24: 16 "that will be the time for those in Y'hudah to escape to the hills.
There are two different instances. The woman flees to the desert and those in Y’hudah escape to the hills. It doesn’t make sense to me that the woman is the people of Israel. But the woman is Israel. Let me explain what I believe the HOLY SPIRIT showed me.
I believe the woman is Israel at the United Nations and who controls the United Nations? The devil. The United Nations is the most evil and antisemitic entity on the planet. The male child will Rule the Nations with a Staff of Iron. The male child isn’t intended to be separated from his mother and taken to Heaven. He’s meant—and He will—to rule the nations with a staff of Iron (Torah). But G-D has to save the male child (body of believers in YESHUA/JESUS) from being devoured by the dragon because the world ha returned right back to the days of Noah/Lot—complete evil.
What do you think will happen to Israel at the UN after the male child is snatched away if the UN hates Israel so vehemently right now? I believe the woman is Israel at the UN and she will flee. Halfway during the times of Jacobs Trouble those in Y’hudah will flee to the hills.
All this will take place during the 7 years of bad that had started (we are in the second year). The seven years of bad will end Rosh HaShannah (Yom Teruah) 2030 which I believe is going to be YESHUA/JESUS’ first Rosh HaShannah (Yom Teruah) on earth since HE left two thousand years ago.
Let’s look at Revelation Ch 6 real quick. Two things happen that connect to the 7 years of bad:
Revelation Ch 6: 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living beings say, "Two pounds of wheat for a day's wages! Six pounds of barley for the same price! But don't damage the oil or the wine!"
Revelation Ch 6: 8 I looked, and there in front of me was a pallid, sickly-looking horse. Its rider's name was Death, and Sh'ol followed behind him. They were given authority to kill one-quarter of the world by war, by famine, by plagues and with the wild animals of the earth.
We see in verse 6 dangerous high inflation and in verse 8 a quarter of mankind will be killed by four plagues and one of the plagues is famine.
Now we’re going to look at a spiritual famine:
Amos Ch 8:11 "The time is coming," says Adonai ELOHIM, "when I will send famine over the land, not a famine of bread or a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of ADONAI.
After the rapture who will be in earth—at least immediately after the rapture and for a while—to preach the Word of G-D? When the beast takes power whoever bears witness to the Word of G-D will be put to death.
Revelation Ch 6: 9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for proclaiming the Word of God, that is, for bearing witness.
This lines up with the seven years of bad that I believe began September 16 2023—Rosh HaShannah (Yom Teruah). Why do I keep saying Rosh HaShannah (Yom Teruah)? Because that’s when the second cow with the number 7 on its head was born and the second cow represents 7 years of bad.
There is much more such as the annular eclipse on October 14 2023 and the solar eclipse on April 8 2024. What I want to focus on is the fact that if donald trump is the eighty king/beast in Revelation Ch 17—and I believe he is—then the rapture would have to happen before January 2025. To me the fact that the eighth king/beast was voted back into power during the second year of the seven years of bad is G-D’s perfect design. The two cows with 7 on their heads that were born in 2014 during the blood moon tetrad (and that happening by itself is mathematically astounding) began two sets of 7 years. Seven years of good and seven years of bad. I believe the seven years of bad did begin on September 16 2023 during Rosh HaShannah (Yom Teruah_ and Israel being attacked on October 7th 2023 on the last day of Sukkot confirmed that fact to me.
I also want to point out that if trump is the eighth king/beast, then he was nearly killed on July 13 2024 in the first year of the seven years of bad. What are the chances? Again, there are no chances. Everything is G-D’s Perfect design. And the sixth king steps down during the same time period.
I want to point out a verse in Daniel Ch 8
Daniel Ch 8: 23 In the latter part of their reign, when the evildoers have become as evil as possible, there will arise an arrogant king skilled in intrigue.
How evil is this world? Beyond evil. Evil doers have become are becoming more evil by the day and soon will be as evil as possible (I believe the mark of the beast will make them as evil as possible).
I’m not a political man. I wouldn’t vote if someone stuck a hot iron to my chest. I put my faith in G-D, not man. I’m stating that trump is the eighth king/beast because of what I see in Scripture. The seven kings are seven American presidents beginning with Ronald Reagan. Reagan was the 40th president. The number 40 is prophetic in scripture. A time of testing. Look at the evil that has followed each president and how they went against Israel—except for trump. Who is the only one Israel sees as some sort of savior. And who will Israel make a covenant with (Daniel Ch 9).
I believe YESHUA/JESUS will return to earth in the year 2030. But that only leaves five years and some months you say. Exactly. Remember that Joseph revealed himself to his brothers two years into the famine. Five were left (Genesis Ch 45).
G-D’s timing is perfect.
I’m not date setting. I’m presenting what I believe is a very powerful possibility. You can agree or disagree. I’m not a prophet. I’m an ordinary man.
But I do cherish what my YESHUA/JESUS said in the book of Matthew.
Matthew Ch 11: 25 It was at that time that Yeshua said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you concealed these things from the sophisticated and educated and revealed them to ordinary folks.
26 Yes, Father, I thank you that it pleased you to do this.
If January 20 2025 comes and goes without a scratch then I’ll know I was wrong. I don’t think I’m wrong and pray I’m not. I’m ready to go home and be with my YESHUA/JESUS more than anything. This world isn’t my home. I’m a citizen of Heaven. How about you?
