Hello John and all Doves,
The following is a mixture of thoughts about the mark of the beast and the timing of the Tribulation. These thoughts have been sparked by so many interesting studies and letters posted on this site. Everything seems to be coming to a head, and puzzles pieces are flying into place. This letter is rather scattered on several subjects, but I felt led to share these thoughts. This is what happens after reading a few days of letters all at once…I get fireworks in my head!!###
THOUGHTS INSPIRED BY FIVE DOVE LETTERS
COULD THE REASON THAT TAKING THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS THE FINAL LINE, IN THE SAND, THAT GOD HAS DRAWN, IS BECAUSE IT WILL CHANGE A PERSON’S DNA, AND THEY WILL NO LONGER BE A GOD CREATED HUMAN?!
Humans will not be flesh only, any longer; they will become flesh and machine. That is why the Lord tells us that He will shorten the tribulation, because if He didn’t, there would be no flesh (human) left to save. Humans would become man-made men and women…their number would become the same as the ultimate man-made man, the Antichrist. That is why it is called the mark of the beast; humans will become beasts and will become like him, and be forced to worship him.
It is the ultimate statement of choosing one’s life in this world over Christ. One will be more concerned about buying, selling and eating, than they will be about their eternal souls!
Seeing how many people are willing to step up and take this mark without being forced or tortured into it, seems to be pointing to the time being shorter than 7 years away!! And thinking about the Antichrist coming in peace first, and how Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, does put new spin on the shortening of the timeline. Yet, I still personally believe in a 7 year tribulation, and that it does not start until after the Bride is raptured. But, we shall see.
Judgment begins at the house of the Lord. The seals are for the Church; God dealing with his own first. Once the 5th, 6th, and 7th seals are opened, and after the Bera Seat judgment and the wedding of the Bride, does the Lord begin the judgments on the world…the trumpets, the bowls and the vials.
The tribulation is to shift the wheat, and crush the grapes... It is out of this horrendous tribulation that the main harvest will come. Therefore the Lord would give people enough time to see what the one world order is and how terrifying life here on earth will be without God, Christ and the Holy Spirit, before the mark is mandatory in 2017. If someone will not choose eternal life with the King of the Universe over their life in this world after experiencing the first half of the Tribulation, than they never will!! And, once they take the mark of the beast, they will no longer be human flesh, no longer considered a person with free will. God gave us the free will to choose Christ, and Christ died for mankind’s sins and to save mankind; He did not die to save SELF SERVING DEMONIC zombies or robots!!So, I still believe that Rapture is the kick-off to a 7 year Tribulation. If we as the Bride of Christ are to spend 7 years in the Bridal Chamber with Him, than that is what it will be. I think a 10 year Tribulation makes sense…3 years of birth pangs, which is for the Church, and this started in the of 2009…the Bride is Raptured (born) in 2012. Then, 3.5 years for the main harvest to ripen and be raptured, 2015, and 3.5 years for the outpouring of His wrath on the unbelievers. The Second Coming of Jesus, 3.5 years later in 2018, and then, the beginning of the Millennium, in 2019. There are 10 years of Tribulation, and 3 days of darkness. Maybe the birth pangs are the 3 (years) days of darkness that precede the Birth of the Bride, before the 7 year tribulation begins.
As bad as it is getting out there, I have a feeling that we have not seen anything yet!!! These past 3 years have been so dark, but it is just a shadow of things to come. But I guess the world has to be broken before the false messiah can appear to be the one who is going to fix it. So far, all Obama is doing, is breaking it up, and setting the USA up for being destroyed. (another indication that it is later than I think?).
We go up and Satan comes down!! What is restraining will be gone and all hell will break loose, the likes of which we have not seen, yet. I don’t know about you all, but ever since the moment that I was born again I have been watching for His coming, and with each year that passes that feeling gets more intense, and never more intense than right this moment!!
It will be several years after the Rapture and all the destruction that happens at that time, for the world to settle down into that new one world government and be thinking peace and safety. After all, their new age Messiah has come to save the world!
They are peaceful because there is no religion to judge their behavior, no churches, or born again believers to harass them about finding God, except of course, the Two Witnesses, the 144,000, and The Angel of the Everlasting Gospel, but they can tune them out, change the channel, and focus elsewhere and continue to peacefully worship themselves in safety!! Until they realize that their new messiah is Satan!!
Their filthy behaviors will now be condoned by man and the laws of the land. They will believe the lie, that their leaders and laws will now save them!! Then, the mark of the beast will be enforced, and most will take it so that they can continue in this peaceful safety and buy and sell and get their fixes. The leaders will be thinking peace and safety as they run the one world Tower of Babel government, taking over God’s role in the lives of the populous.
This is where God draws the line; there is no hope beyond this mark. There will be no flesh beyond this mark, man becomes Satan indwelt and instead of Holy Spirit indwelt.
The ones who don’t take it will be killed, and will be the tribulation saints, and make it into the Kingdom of God and attend the Wedding Supper. There will be no more free will after taking the mark of the beast, and no one can be saved it they do not freely choose the KING OF THE UNIVERSE over the god of this world.
The interesting thing about this is, no matter if you believe we are already in the middle of the Tribulation, or that the seven year period begins at the rapture. We are still on the same page, as it still means that Rapture happens this year!! I feel that we cannot know the ending date until we know the beginning date! The rapture is the starting gun of the whole Tribulation, and no man knows that day or hour, therefore how can we possibly say when His Second Coming is? We can’t!!!
Therefore, look at the info that is given as to what is happening in the heavens. Check out Luis Vega’s 10 year timeline of heavenly events…2010...to 2020...Wow!! It is very powerful and presents the most likely scenario that I have yet seen. Still it points to rapture this year!! Especially with the rare transit of Venus on June 5/6!! (TODAY AND TOMORROW!!!) A perfect match of the catching away of the Bride!! This will not happen again for over a 100 years!!
In the end, that is what we most care about, the rest will not be of our concern. Amen?? All we can do is keep standing and loving, and keep close to our Lord and Savior. It is all in His Hands, and his timing is PERFECT!!All we can know for sure it that it is soon!!
With warm wishes to all of you…you are all so dear to my heart, and I am so thrilled to have had these months of sharing with such blessed friends! What a gift!! To think that I will soon meet you all and get to spend eternity with so many awesome friends is just too cool for school!!!
Many Blessings to each of you!! See you soon!!
Your sister in Christ,
