John and Doves,
While some repeat over and over again," No man knows the day
nor the hour" ( 'keeping a closed mind',) there are some of
us who realize that we will indeed know the Season...
1 Thessalonians 5:1. (keeping an open mind).
Here are some Scripture verses that substantiate the fact
that there is a crescendo of events leading up to
the Season and day of the Rapture. We are to be God's
servants, giving out the meat of God's word in due season.
"Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when He cometh shall
find so doing."
Matthew 24: 45,46.
The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those
things which are revealed belong unto us" Deuteronomy
29:29 and Matthew 13:11.
"He that receiveth a prophet in the name of
a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward"
Matthew 10:41 (all
students of Bible prophecy.)
"Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He
revealeth His secret unto His servants the
prophets" Amos 3:7
"His secret is with the
righteous" Proverbs 3:32
"Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I
do?" Genesis 18:17
THE HOLY SPIRIT
"Howbeit, when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come,
He will guide you into all truth: for He shall
not speak of Himself;
but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He
speak:
And HE SHALL SHOW YOU THINGS TO COME."
John16:13
"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves
together, as the manner of some is;
but exhorting [ encouraging] one another, and so
much the more,
AS YOU SEE THE DAY APPROACHING".
Hebrews 10:25
NEARING THE DAY
"they shall say, "peace and safety" 1
Thessalonians 5:3
"But you brethren are not in darkness, that that
day [ of CHRIST;
inferred ] should overtake you as a
thief " ...
[ as will the church of Sardis be taken as a
thief ; Rev.3:3 and Rev. 16:15]. 1 Thess.
5:4
" Let us watch, and be
sober" 1
Thessalonians 5:6
_________________________________________________________________
Editor's comment on titles used :
"The rapture is referred
to as "the Day of
Christ" 2 Thess.
2:2 KJV
Some of the revised editions are in error
and have exchanged "Christ" for "Lord"
which makes the meaning the opposite of the
Original verse.
"day of the Lord" refers to
those left behind 1
Thessalonians 5:2
"Lord" is spoken by those
left behind.
Matthew 7: 21--23 and Matthew 25:11
"Bridegroom" refers to the
Rapture
Matthew 25:10
"Son of man " is not used in
regards to the Rapture. Matthew
25:13
"Son of man" is used pertaining
to those left behind Matthew 24:36
____________________________________________________________________
THE DAY ITSELF
Noah had a 7 day warning
Genesis 7:4 and 10
The sons of the prophets knew the day of
Elijah's
rapture
2 Kings 2
The 5 wise virgins knew both the day
and the hour Matthew
25:10
So it seems likely that the Holy
Spirit,---hearing from the Father--- will
give the message to
Believers as the Rapture draws near.
It may be by a word of prophecy
given in tongues, or given in
dreams or by visions; most likely
it will be given by all of the above.
Joel 2:28--32 and Acts 2: 16--21.
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
The
following signs will bring us to the door of
our translation-rapture:
1. A DECLARATION made that
will forward the "Falling away"-
Apostasy (2 Thess. 2:3)
As I see it, The "Washington
Declaration" is that declaration
already signed by the 3 major faiths in the
name of "religious tolerance".... but
in actuality it is a stand taken against
evangelical Christian Believers. It
was signed on Wednesday, February 7,2018.
https://www.christianpost.com/news/400-leaders-sign-washington-declation-for-religious-tolerance-216788
2.
A
DEMONSTRATION
We will be here to see the "man of sin" sit
in the Temple as God
2 Thess. 2: 4
3. A PROCLAMATION
After the Final Permanent Mideast Peace
Treaty has been signed by the many
( all UN nations ?)
then they shall proclaim "PEACE and
SAFETY". 1
Thess. 5:3
But in 1 Thess. 5:3 it also says that
then there shall come sudden
destruction (upon the Mideast...most likely
the Psalm 83 Arab war, and the
Russian-Confederate Invasion Magog War of
Ezekiel 38 and 39.)
After those 6 trumpets of war and
terrorism have been fulfilled (
Rev.8 and 9 ), then comes the 7th and final
trumpet, "the last trump" 1
Corinthians 15:52
4. Now comes Our Translation-RAPTURE
.... Rev.11:15-18.
1 Thess. 5:3 ; 1 Thess. 4: 13--18
; 1 Corinthians 15: 51, 52
Because we are to watch for those signs, we
are to assemble all the more as we see the
day approaching.
Assembling here at John's website,
the Five Doves, is where we can see what
the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks
be to God !
OUR MERCIFUL GOD OF THE SECOND
CHANCE
Many people who are left behind after the Midnight
-Rapture
(Please see http://hopetotheend.com/ch5sheaves.html )
will
repent and walk in the Holy Spirit, and be
given a second chance.
"O God, in wrath remember
mercy" Habakkuk 3:2
Please see Jonah 3:1
Those left behind will be able to go in
the "Cockcrowing Rapture"
later on---Rev.16:15
