RED ALERT CONTINUES FOR APRIL AND MAY OF THIS YEAR
The period of April 6 through April 11th has now passed, without a Rapture, or Sudden Destruction event, or the start of the Great Tribulation period. I must admit that I am very surprised. I was very sincere in my belief that this was the likely projected time. Before Apr. 6th, here is what I was attempting to convey in my posts: We HAVE every reason to believe that Apr. 6th should be the projected time for the Rapture/Sudden Nuclear Destruction, and that Apr. 11th should be the 1st day of the 1260-day Great Tribulation, and start of Obama's reign as the Antilchrist.
Now, we must change the word "HAVE" to "HAD". This was NOT a prediction, and NOT a word of knowledge from the Lord, as I stated several times in my posts. It was a likely PROJECTION, based on what I considered solid evidence, which has come from 9 and one-half years of studying the likely 14-year timeline for the End of Days, as in the story of Joseph. April 6th through Apr. 11th was a wrong projection. So, the question MUST now be asked, "Where do we stand now?
It is my firm conviction that we stand at the very precipice of nuclear World War 3, and the Rapture of the Bride of Christ. I stand by over 90% of what I laid out in my chart, which shows Oct. 29, 2008, to be the starting point of the Final 14 Years, and the Fall of 2022, to be the End of the Final 7 Years, and the start of the Millennium, and the 1000-year reign of Christ. As far as I can see, the Spring of 2018 remains the correct timing, for everything to really bust loose. There is room on my timeline for the Rapture/Sudden Nuclear Destruction and the start to the Great Tribulation to take place in the last half of April or anytime in May of this year.
What day will that be? I really felt VERY strongly about Apr. 6--11th. I was thoroughly convinced that the signs and numbers were very compelling for Apr. 6--11th. I now really have no idea, except to repeat that I am fully expecting it to still happen in April or May of this year. I only know that the projected 14-year timeline starts to fall apart after May of this year. I do not see how I could be an effective watchman after that point.
Here are some possibilities of why Apr. 6--11th were not the actual dates. I honestly do not like any of these possibilities, but we must consider the possibility that one of these COULD be correct:
1. We COULD be in some sort of delay, such as the 21-day delay in Daniel. I believe that the Scriptures tell us that the day will come when there will be no more delays.
2. We COULD be in a 50-day delay, just like the disciples of Jesus had to wait in the upper room, until 50 days after Passover, when Jesus was crucified. Jesus came back to them, in the form of the Holy Spirit, after the 50 days. It is also my contention that there was a 50-day wait from the end of the 7 Years of Preparation, in 2015, until the start of the Final 7 Years. 50 days from Passover this year would take us to Feast of Pentecost on May 20th. 50 days from Apr. 6th, the 7th Day of Passover, would take us to May 25th.
3. Some Prophecy students are adamant that the timing of the Rapture is on 2nd Passover, which would be in early May.
4. Some believe that the calendar is one month off, because the barley harvest MAY have not been ready in the middle of March this year, which would also possibly project the correct timing into early May of this year.
5. Many of you do not believe in this 14-year timeline for the End of the Age, nor do many of you believe that we are almost 2 and one-half years into the Final 7 Years. Thus, I am throwing out the possibility that the reason Apr 6--11th was not the correct timing was because the entire 14-year timeline is possibly incorrect.
I simply do NOT like any of the above suggestions, especially #5. I will be forced to look at #5 more seriously if the Great Tribulation has not started by the end of May of this year. Here are some possible dates in the rest of April and May that are being tossed out there by other Watchers: Apr. 18th, Apr. 23rd, May 1st, May 11th, May 14th, May 20th, and May 27th. All I can say at this point, is that the day of the Rapture, our Great Escape, will almost certainly be the very same day as the Sudden Nuclear Destruction, as I have been projecting for many years now.
It remains my strong opinion that there is simply WAY too much evidence for the 14-Year Timeline to be correct, including a 2018 Springtime Rapture/Sudden Nuclear Destruction (without a specific date), to discard it prematurely. It is now time to write about the title of this post, which is RED ALERT CONTINUES FOR APRIL AND MAY OF THIS YEAR.
Here are three MAJOR reasons why we remain on a VERY HIGH RED ALERT:
1. The current explosive situation concerning the United States, Russia, Iran, and Syria. I am writing this one day after the U.S. bombing of Syria. Russia is vowing serious repercussions and retaliation for these strikes. What happens next??? How long before the next MAJOR event, involving these countries, before the world experiences Nuclear World War 3? Tensions remain high everywhere. We watch. We wait. We are reminded of Psalm 83. We are reminded of Ezekiel 38--39 (World War 3).
We are also reminded of the entire chapter of Isaiah 17. Verse 1, says, "The burden of DAMASCUS, Behold, DAMASCUS is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap." As we have just witnessed the bombing in, and around Damascus, Syria, we all wonder how long before the world witnesses the nuclear destruction of DAMASCUS. We must also take a serious look at Revelation 6:3--4, the unleashing of the 2nd Seal of WAR, and the GREAT SWORD OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS. We also wonder how long before the nuclear destruction of Mystery Babylon, which I believe is New York City. One, or both of these events, will likely trigger the Rapture. What an unbelievable, and fascinating time to be alive, JUST BEFORE THE FIRSTFRUITS RAPTURE AND SUDDEN NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION.
How can we look at the explosiveness of the world's current volatile situation, and not be lifting up our heads, and looking up? Yet so many watchers are already looking at the summer of 2018, or the Fall of 2018, or some other year other than 2018, while the rest of the world, including most Christians, simply have their heads buried in the sand, oblivious to the multitude of end-times signs exploding everywhere. We must be reminded again that all of the Prophetic cycles come to an end in 2017, or the Spring of 2018, not any other year.
2. The Great Tribulation is also known as the "Time of Jacob's (Israel's) Trouble". The current volatile situation in, and surrounding Israel, tells us that the time of Israel's Trouble is about to burst upon the world scene, in unprecedented fashion. On May 14th, Israel will celebrate their SEVENTIETH anniversary. We should expect something HUGE to happen involving Israel before that time.
3. I strongly suspect that somehow the New World Order elite are behind the current efforts to ignite World War 3. I do not believe that Donald Trump is part of the NWO elite. They are doing everything in their power to destroy him, and to destroy the one nation which stands in their way of a one-world government, the United States of America. What better way for them to achieve their goals than to ignite World War 3. Their motto is "Out of chaos, comes order", and "Out of the destruction and chaos of World War 3, comes the New World Order".
All any of us can really do is to wait, and WATCH, and PRAY, and do everything that we can to be spiritually ready, in order to be a part of the Bride of Christ. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
Maranatha!
