"When and Why?"


June 28, 2016

This is speculation because God said that man knows the season, not anything more unless it is revealed to him. Now I focus my speculation on a possible time based on various messages received over the years. That time is early July.

There are several reasons that I feel this could be the timing of something really big. The rapture event, itself, may be in this timing.

> Nicole Poon's cartoon drawings. The first of these, I believe, is our own July 4, 2016 patriotic parade, celebrating 240 years since 1776. The second is our national desolation beginning on July 4, 2016 and ending September 6, this year or another? Only God knows. The first showed the parade about to march right off a cliff made up of the number 74 (7/4?). The second showed total desolation with an America flag sticking up out of the ground with the number 74 (7/4?) on the left side of the picture and 96 (9/6?) on the right side.

> The couple that experienced total darkness all around for three days, except within their cottage home, wherein there was a beautiful Thomas Kincade type atmosphere and many angels in attendance for these three days. They themselves were both alive, transformed, and glowing within the home.

> The multitude of messages indicating that time is up for the obedient servants of Jesus Christ. One of these is the Song of Solomon agrisigns for the rapture of the obedient saints of Jesus Christ. The tender grape is on the vine and there is a definite pleasant smell about them right now. This is the last of the signs given in the Song. If 2016 is the year, then this is the time.

> The fact that fewer and shorter messages are being received and therefore sent out by the watchers. And so many speak of the judgment on America. And so many watchers, from all over the world, see now as the time of God's movement in judgment.

> The Biblical signs of the Holy Bible are everywhere present at the same time. Of special note is the wickedness of society endorsing abominable actions in the form of making these abominations the law of the land. Righteousness is being crushed by the antichrist elements of American and world societies. America is singled out because America received, of all nations, the greatest blessing of Jehovah and therefore has the greater accountability to Him, and will receive the greater judgment.
> The earth is being stressed by some force, causing cracks, sink holes, earthquakes and many volcanic eruptions. The weather is very erratic and dangerous. This force is an incoming solar system, the same that destroyed the wicked world of Noah as recorded in Genesis 7 and 8. It cannot be hidden any longer, it is out there and it is visible now.

> The need has come for fulfillment of different messages given by Jehovah to His believing messengers, and delivered to us through internet and other means. Also, just as the Scripture has said, the patience of the saints is worn out.

There are more but the above is sufficient to tell us that we are at the end.

Now, report after report is saying that our God is angry with this world system and is about to judge it in His fierce wrath. But first He wants to rapture His believing and obedient church out of this world and then redeem his errant church out of the world, while there is still a world system. I call these two bodies the Philadelphia Church and the Laodicea Church. (Revelation 3).

The question is, when? When will Jesus be sent to receive his Bride? And how will it occur? Prophetic messages say that the Philadelphia Christians will participate in the rescue of the Laodicea Christians. One such message has this occurring over a period of forty days. Jesus clearly taught in Matthew 24 that “as it was in Noe's day, so shall it also be in the days of the coming of the Son of man”. In Noah's day there was given a seven day alert to load the ark, then forty days of rains, then one hundred ten days of complete water coverage on the earth.

I suggest that this count may be repeated in our time. That is, seven, forty, and one hundred ten days at least.

A watcher named Charity, and one named Angela had visions that included the numbers 5, 6, 7. After one vision was the word “SLAM”. After the other was the word “JESUS”. Then a brother posted on Five Doves quite some time ago that in a message to him, he was told that it would be on a Thursday. Charles had no idea which Thursday, though. (Many have come and gone since).

Putting this together, I can see a message like this:

If July 4 is the “tipping” day, then 280 days before that is September 28, 2015 the last blood moon of the tetrad of blood moons occuring in 2014 and 2015. That was both the day that Nathan, the young Jewish lad met with the major rabbis of Israel with prophecies that he had heard while clinically dead, but he, himself in heaven, such prophecies of Israel's future. This was also the end of the seventieth week of Daniel's prophecy to Israel. Using July 4 also makes June 29 is the start of the seven days alert, copying the days of Noah. It terminates July 4. Then comes three days of darkness during which we will be in transformed bodies inside homes that look like a Thomas Kincade picture and will be kept from the gross darkness covering the earth. That is July 5, 6, 7. After that we are to go to meet Jesus in the air, in the clouds (I Thess 4:16-18) also (Song of Solomon 2:13b). That would July 8 on which day the door of heaven is open and we go to JESUS. The heavenly door immediately SLAMS in the face of the world left behind. This should begin at sundown July 7 based on Hebrew timing as to sunset to sunset days. July 7 is Thursday, the day seen by Brother Charles. After this those who are to see our Christian brothers and sisters made Bride-ready will help the Laodiceans over the following forty days until they are also raptured (Song of Solomon 6:12). This should run to August 16/17. After that, chaos for one hundred ten days at least.

Brothers and sisters, think of this: All wombs lose their fetuses, all children are taken up, and those mentally unable to understand are taken up, and all at, or under the age of accountability, as God sees it, are taken up, along with all obedient and Christ loving and Christ following believers. From all over the world, they will be taken. Many will go, but as a percentage of the world population of eight billion souls, is will be very, very, very small.

Then there will be a worldwide wailing that will outstrip the sorrow and wailing when the babies were slain in Bethlehem, in the days of Herod, the king.

Those who have loved and served Jesus Christ will be gone. Those who have been so foolish as to accept His gracious offer of salvation, but have not lived for Him, but for self (Laodicea) will be left behind. Those who have play acted will have a final chance but it will probably cost them their lives and most probably by beheading because the Muslim world will be in control and they love the sword and the guilllotine. But....out of this will come a multitude that no man can number, having washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb (Rev 7:14).

In the end, God wins. Satan loses. We both win and reign. And 2016 is our year to shine like the stars of heaven. This I believe.
