TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR THIS WICKED WORLD

Time is running out for this evil, wicked world. It so resembles the Bible's description of the days of Noah, as to be identical. Back then, an ark was built by Noah and his sons against the day of prophesied judgment of his world. Back then, no one believed the end of that world was at the door. It was not until rain, with the force of Niagara Falls fell on their sorry heads that they knew time was up.

What force must fall on the heads of today's people for them to know that time is up. The Bible says fire is coming. Water and fire. Famine, earthquakes, weather and such are coming. Antichrist is coming. Control of the masses is coming by way of a mark that allows buying and selling only to those who wear it. Horror untold is coming. Why won't people wake up? Did they wake up in Noah's day? Not until it rained. For now, it will not be until some drastic earth shaking event occurs that they will wake up. And awaken to what? Misery and woe.

When the shout of Jesus is heard, when the archangel speaks and when the trumpet sounds and the dead in Christ arise, then they will seek to get into the “ark” of God. Too little, too late, for the living saints, obedient to the commands of the Lord Jesus Christ have already risen up into the air, to the clouds of heaven, to meet their Lord and Savior, their Redeemer, their King. And as the Bride-to-be that she is, the Church will join her Groom-to-be in the clouds.

What then of those left behind? First and foremost is the lazy Laodicea Church Age Christians. Did they obey the Lord's command to follow Him after their great salvation? No, they did not. These felt that they had a license to be lazy at best, because of eternal salvation. These did not read Paul's exhortation that we “work out our salvation with fear and trembling” (Philipians 2:12). And James said to be “doers of the Word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves” (chapter 1, vs 22). Because they are Christians, they will be transformed in their bodies, not taken. And God's great plan for them is that they work on earth to bring in a great harvest of souls (Revelation 7:9).

How long will these be left behind before they, too, are raptured. Their rapture must occur in order that the Bride of Christ be complete. All seven Ages of the CHURCH must be in heaven for the wedding ceremony. The first six ages are at the wedding supper. I think the answer is found in John 4:35, where Jesus identified the time between barley and wheat harvests to be 4 months. That is 120 days. And if so, it places their rapture to be in the Autumn season. And that corresponds perfectly with the Song of Solomon chapter 6:12,13. And in verse 13, we find two armies. Who are they? The first six ages of the Church and the army of the seventh, Laodicea. Bride complete!

So when is all of this to take place. I conjecture 2024. If that is the case, then the Summer solstice is the most reasonable time for the first army, Ephesus through Philadelphia. It is also the best time for the onset of the great harvest program and 120 days later, Laodicea may join the six to complete the Bride of Christ, a perfect 7. That is perhaps October 18-20, 2024. Right about here could also be the ousting of Satan and his angels from heaven to earth. If so, November 8 is in view, as it is 21 days after Laodicea has ascended (Daniel 10 gives the rationale for war in heaven being 3 weeks).

Is this on target? We shall soon see. From this writing it is barely 2 weeks to the Summer solstice.

Watch with me.
