THE HARVEST OF SOULS IS A KEY ELEMENT IN THE MYSTERY

It seems to me that the logical approach is to find, if possible, the timing of the great harvest of souls that our sister Church, Laodicea will participate in by being left behind to do the task. It is God's way of causing them to “work out their salvation with fear and trembling”, something they did not do while in the age of grace. They rather became the “church in the world”, and acted accordingly. It is my belief that they will nevertheless be transformed at the beginning of the harvest time in accordance with I Corinthians 15:52.

So, I am looking for the 4 months or 120 days of the harvest of souls. The time element comes from John 4:35. It also seems to me that the rapture of the living Philadelphia Christians will be on the first day of the harvest. Find one, also find the other. If the harvest is to begin in 2023, as many, many messages seem to indicate, then we must be very close to our own taking out event, called the rapture.

This event may not be on a single day. According to at least one past message from the Lord, the youth, age 7 and younger will be taken FIRST, then the dead in Christ would follow SECOND, and we, the living saints would be last or THIRD.

If that occurs over a 3 days period, it may coincide with the 3 days of darkness also seen by several watchers. This 3 days period may also occur within 10 days of darkness, also seen my some.

One message of some time ago declared that a sign would be one of three national holidays, namely, Memorial Day, Independence Day, or Labor Day. Inasmuch as Independence Day has come and gone, there remains Labor Day, September 4, 2023. Unless our Father's intent is to surprise Satan, I can't imagine the rapture occurring without war in heaven. That causes me to consider again the three weeks time element. Either way, the period is 21 days, either added or left out. I am convinced that war in heaven occurs when Satan is cast down from heaven as in Revelation 12, because Scripture says so. It could occur here, as well, although there is no Scripture for it be so?

MY THINKING VIA THREE SCENARIOS

>>Here is one possible scenario. September 3/4 is on a Monday. Brother Charles' message was that our removal would be on a Thursday. Go back 3 days of darkness to August 31/September 1 to begin the week of alert, as was also given Noah. The first day of the rapture sequence could be September 4, Labor Day. In this case, 120 days of harvest would come to December, 31, 2023 as the final day of soul harvesting by the Laodicea Christians, and would be their rapture day as well.

>>Here is another possible scenario. September 3 4 is on a Monday. Adding 3 days of darkness to that would arrive at Thursday, September 7, 2023. Add 21 days for possible war in heaven to arrive at September 28/29, 2023. Count 120 days for the harvesting of souls to come to January 26, 2024.

>>And yet another possible scenario. Using the completion of the great sign in heaven on September 19, 2023 as the time the man child is snatched up to God, and that being the last day of Summer, the count of 120 days would come to January 17/18, 2024. This would mean that the 21 days war in heaven, if so, would begin August 29/30, 2023. It would make Labor Day to be in the count, but not the start of it.

The time is known only to God. But, it is good for us to seek out His program for us as it strengthens our faith. Also, it does not make us date setters, but rather Bereans in our spiritual nature. It also keeps us searching for truth.

I post this in Christian love,
