RAPTURE FORETOLD
The information below came after I asked the Lord to reveal everything He knew about the Rapture of the Church. Now if you are not sure what the Rapture is, it is a time that Jesus returns to the Earth, but to the clouds only, and calls His children home to avoid the 7 year punishment He is about to pour out on those individuals who have rejected His call.....
Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.....(Revelation 3:10) New American Standard Bible...(NASB)
At that time.....
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then 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." (1Thessalonians 4:16,17).....(NASB)
If you don't have a Bible, download from Google Play, the Blue Letter Bible App, and use the NASB version to see all the references I used to support God's revelation. In doing so, you will find the message more revealing, and more able to understand. I would also suggest that you go to the links provided, because they will support the scriptures.
Having said all that, I hope you can understand this heart felt message, and if there are any questions that you might have, that you send me an email, and I will do my best to answer any questions.

The first thing that needs to be said in explaining when the Rapture takes place is to look at what it says in Matthew 24:32-34...
"Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when it's branch has already become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place." This passage of scripture when speaking about the branches becoming tender, and putting forth their leaves, is referring to Israel becoming a nation which begins the final generation. When it mentions summer being near, it's actually referring to the end of the generation. Please keep this in mind as you continue reading.
In Isaiah 66:8,9 Isaiah prophesied that Israel would become a nation in one day which God confirms in verse 9. This prophecy of Isaiah's occurred 2577 years before Israel became a nation in one day on May 14th 1948. When we look at Hosea 9:10, Hosea saw Israel scattered throughout the world as grapes in the wilderness. Then in the second part of his vision, he saw the forefathers of Israel as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season. The earliest fruit on the fig tree
begins to bloom in the month of May as the green figs described in Song of Solomon 2:13 when read in the NKJV. When Hosea saw the forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in the fig tree's first season, what he saw was Israel becoming a nation in one day on May 14th 1948.
At this point, we need to apply the years for the final fig tree generation to May 14th 1948. For that we need to go to Psalms 90:10. In Moses's prayer, he states in verse 10, "As for the days of our life, they contain 70 years, or if due to strength, 80 years, yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; for soon it is gone and we fly away." Now lets go to
and add 80 years as 29200 days, to May 14th 1948. When we do, we will arrive at April 24, 2028.
Now that we know how long the final generation is, and when it will end, we need to determine whether the Rapture will be a Pre-Tribulation Rapture, a Mid- Tribulation Rapture, or a Post-Tribulation Rapture. For that, we need to look at 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8. In this passage, we see that the Holy Spirit is holding back the powers of darkness from releasing the Antichrist onto the world scene, until the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way. (removed) Once the Holy Spirit is removed, the Holy Spirit filled believers who are walking the walk, will at that time, be Raptured to the clouds to be with the Lord, as stated in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17. The reason for this, is because once a believer receives the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will never leave them as stated in John 14:16,17,26. Thus proving that the Antichrist cannot be revealed until after the Pre-Tribulation Rapture, then once
theRapture happens, the 7 year Tribulation Period begins. In Matthew 24:22 it says... "Unless those days have been cut short no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short." These days that Matthew is speaking about, are the days of the Tribulation Period found in Matthew 24:5-28.
Now concerning the last half of the Tribulation Period, we need to look at Revelation 12:6,14 and in Revelation 13:5. In Revelation 12:6, the woman is Israel, and she has fled into the wilderness for a period of 1,260 days. Divide those days by a Jewish 360-day year, and you will have a 3.5 year period of time. If you take Revelation 12:14, you will see that Time, Times and half a Time represents 3.5 years. Time equals one year, Times equals two years, and half a Time equals half a year. Then in Revelation 13:5, the Antichrist has power to reign for 42 months. If you take 42 months, and divide it by 12 months, you will again have 3.5 years. Revelation 12:6, and Revelation 12:14, and Revelation 13:5 apply to Matthew 24: 15-28 which are the events that start the last half of the Tribulation Period.
At this point, go to Daniel 9:27, and 11;31. Once there, you will see that the Antichrist has confirmed a covenant with many for a period of a week which is actually 7 years, and in the MIDDLE of the week, at the 3.5 year mark, he puts a stop to sacrifice, and grain offerings, and sets up the Idol that makes Desolate. Now lets go back to the beginning of the last half of the Tribulation Period to Matthew 24:15-28, and we will see that in verse 16, the Woman (The Jews) is now fleeing into the wilderness for 1260 days according to Revelation 12:6 which we know to be 3.5 years. Now if the Woman (The Jews) flees into the wilderness in the MIDDLE of the Tribulation because she sees the Idol that makes Desolate being set up in the Jewish Temple, as stated in Matthew 24:15,16, then we must conclude that the 1st half of the Tribulation is another 1260 days, or 3.5 years, thus fulfilling the 7
year time span that the Antichrist established when he confirmed the covenant in Daniel 9:27.
With that being said, if we take the Jewish year of 360 days, and multiply it by 7 years, for the Tribulation Period, you will have 2520 days. Now subtract 2520 days from April 24th 2028, which is the end of the final generation spoken about in Matthew 24:34, and you will have May 31st 2021, which is the last date for the Rapture to happen, but since we know that the final generation will not expire, we know that the Rapture will happen in May 2021 but before May 31, 2021. At this point, go to
and scroll down to "The Months in Israel's Calender" and see what happens during each month in Israel. You will see that the month of May conforms to what it says in Song of Solomon 2:11-13 when reading the NKJV. Thus proving beyond all doubt, that the Rapture of the Church will occur in the month of May 2021.
Now after considering the information above, do you want to go through the 7 year Tribulation Period? During that time the Bible says in Matthew 24:21 "For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will." Remember Noah's Flood? Also, during the last half of the tribulation period, the Mark of the Beast will be required of everyone to buy and sell. If anyone takes the mark, the Bible says in Revelation 13:16,17 and Revelation 14: 9,10 that those individuals will end up in Hell. In Revelation chapter 18, it describes America, during the Tribulation Period being destroyed in one hour. Now do you really want to be around during such mayhem? If not, and you don't have any reservations about asking Christ, with a sincere heart to come and live in your heart, and to forgive your every sin, then do it right now, and
the Lord will enter your heart, and ask the
Father to send the Holy Spirit to you. Then once you receive the Holy Spirit the Bible says that you're going to become a new creation in Christ as it says in 2 Corinthians 5:17. Not only that, but your name will be written in the Lamb's Book of Life, and when the Rapture happens, and you are walking the walk, you will be taken off of this Earth, and taken to the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall you always be with the Lord.
This might be your only chance to receive Christ as your Savior!
