The Holy Scriptures never once said that we could not, nor would not know the time of the rapture.  The most it ever said was “at a day ye think not, the Son of Man cometh” and “of that DAY and HOUR knoweth no man”.  I will say it again, as it has been said before, that with 24 time zones and 2 days always on the earth, it is impossible for me or you to know the day or hour precisely. 

Some have taken this statement by our Lord and have used it to justify their thinking that it will never happen.  We have thousands or at least hundreds of years left before this occurs, they say.  It is all allegorical anyway, and doesn’t mean what it literally says, they say.  Well, brothers and sisters, I am of the old line believers that believe every word and sentence of it, as it is correctly translated from the original or oldest manuscripts.  And I use ONLY the KJV because it has proved itself over 400 years of usage to be extremely accurate.  It is o. k. to read simpler translations, or re-edits of Christian men, but for me, it the KJV when  in the process of study.  I appreciate Hebrew and Greek language scholars, however, for knowing the word meaning in its original can be instructive.  But, the KJV has done well for us English speaking folks all of our lives.

Having said that, now on with this day and hour thing.  The Lord is coming for a Bride, chaste, clean, pure, and spotless.  Neither He nor the Apostles said we would not know the times.  On the contrary, He said we should.  We are without excuse as watchers if we don’t.  “When ye shall see ALL these things come to pass, then look up and lift up your eyes, for your redemption draweth nigh”, said our Lord and Savior.  Guess what?  We are seeing every single one of these things right now!

God’s prophet Daniel had a vision.  He was upset with God because the captivity in Babylon DID NOT END ON TIME.  He knew from reading Jeremiah’s prophecy that it was to be exactly 70 years, no more, no less.  But on his 87th birthday, it did NOT happen on the day it should have.  The great prophet, instead of railing against God, went to prayer and fasting to find out why?  Why?  Why?  It paid off, for exactly 21 full days later, heavenly beings arrived to tell him what had happened.  I believe that one of them was the Yahushua Himself, the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ, if you will.  He was told that from the FIRST day, his prayer was heard and “our journey to you began, but the (angel) prince of Persia withstood us to the point that Michael came to help, and now we are come for your words”.  So in answer to the prayers, Daniel had a vision.

This experience may attend the rapture of the Church as well.  If so, then I believe that the transit of Venus, when the Son rose and left the right hand of the Father (Sun) and crossed to the left and further, which occurred on June 4/5, 2012  marked a high watch day regarding the possible rapture of the Church.  Count it as a vision, for it was one for sure in the field of astronomy.  Twenty one days later may see Yahushua and Michael again appear, this time to take us home.  That would be Pentecost, FULLY COME plus a delay of 21 full days.  High watch:  June 25/26. 

Whether this pans out or not, you and I need to be sure that we are on the Lord’s side.  Come over here, Moses said.  Come over here, Jesus is saying.  Get everything objectionable to heaven out of your life.  There is not much time, but there is enough to please Christ.  Do it, do it, just do it.  God will truly bless you for it. 

Just say with me, “I want to be ready to walk in Jerusalem, just like John”.
