Doves,
Have you given any thought to the U. S. political system after the rapture of the church? If you give Trump the benefit of the doubt that he is indeed a follower of Jesus Christ, then he and Pence (a devout Christian) may very well be taken in the rapture of the church. With this as a high probability and the righteous element of American society also being removed at the rapture........ this to me is a recipe for chaos and anarchy for the un-righteous left behind masses in America who in my opinion have already been given over to their reprobate minds as is foretold would happen in Romans 1. It appears to me at this time that a very large number of American people are debased and incapable of rational thought as is described in Romans 1.
This being the case, who would they then pick to rule over them after the rapture? There is no doubt in my mind that they would literally stampede to the door of Barack Obama and bestow on him any and all powers he saw fit in an effort to arrest the chaos and anarchy and put things back to a calmer and whatever they would consider “normal” environment.
I realize many in the Dove community for assorted reasons believe and have adamantly expressed that Obama will become the Antichrist. I for one have expressed my belief several times on Doves that the wording of Revelation 13 and 17 convinced me that Obama will become the second beast who the bible describes as “a man” and will not become the Antichrist who the bible described as a spirit being who arises from the bottomless pit to take on the identity of another.
Either way it appears to me that Obama will have what's left of the most powerful military and intelligence complex of this world and become what I believe is the second beast who from scripture could be labeled as “enforcer” for the first beast, the Antichrist. What better tools could you have as the antichrist's “enforcer” than the U.S. Military and intelligence complex.
If the rapture happens in June as many believe, I suspect it would take a month or two for the world power structure to re-stabilize. With the majority of the righteous element removed at the rapture and people operating with reprobate and debased minds, how long do you think it will take the Luciferian elite who rule this world from attacking Israel?
I have read several articles that indicate Israel fully believes it will be attacked this year regardless of the rapture. Attacked as in..... the Ezekiel 38 and 39 war.. I think about Nathan the Jewish boy who labeled Obama as Gog who will lead the attack against Israel and it all makes perfect sense to me. And the time frame does as well.
As I have written in prior posts the great sign that indicates a birth that takes place on September 23 is not the church's departure but indeed it is a birth. A birth that is the fulfillment of the Ezekiel 37 prophecy where the whole house of Israel / Jacob is resurrected or re-birthed from the dead......hundreds of millions of Jews from the lineage of Jacob who have died from Jacob's time frame until the present. Two hundred million from the total of these God will use as His end time army spoken of in Joel 2 and many other assorted areas of scripture.
This huge September re-birthing of the whole Jewish race will include the two witnesses who will then (in September) start their 3.5 year ministry and this 23rd date will officially kick off the 7 year tribulation period. The first fruits of this huge re-birth of the Jews will be the 144,000 as is described in Revelation 7 and 14. They will become the personal entourage of Jesus and follow Him wherever He goes.
When Israel is attacked the IDF will as Nathan described hold out for several days but will not be able to withstand the onslaught especially with the United States involved as one of the many attacking combatants. The Iran backed proxy Hezbollah alone has well over a hundred thousand rockets poised and aimed at Israel. The bible indicates in Deuteronomy that the Lord will wait until all looks lost for Israel and a great number have been killed before He intercedes, comes to Israel's rescue and destroys Israel's and His enemies. He will also step on the Mount of Olives and split the mountain in two opening it up and creating a huge many many mile long and wide valley as a refuge and protected sanctuary for the remaining Jews. And He will also gather the Jews from around the world and place them in this valley as a protected refuge. There they will be protected for three and one half years or the first half of the tribulation period. Protected as the Christian church was taken away and protected.
The exceedingly great army of 200 million that God assembles in Ezekiel 37 remind me of the huge terracotta army found buried in China to protect the emperor.
God resurrects and reconstructs this army of resurrected Jews but doesn't blow life back into them until His timing is right. Then weeks or months later four angels allow the four winds to blow consciousness / life back into them. They are then tasked to kill one third of the population of the earth. I have my opinions as to who gets killed and lets just say that when the Jews come out of their protected valley after three and one half years they won't have to worry about hostile neighbors or the majority of who hated them in the past. The ride of this army and it's absolute horror is relayed to us in many areas of scripture and the details are stunning to say the least. Revenge and wrath on the world on an unprecedented terrible scale for attacking His chosen people. What do they say....payback’s a b---h.
Obviously I have gotten a little off tract from my original premise of the after rapture actions and re-actions. It appears to me that the next several months with two births or resurrections......the church and then the whole Jewish race in September and with all the side stories that ensue will certainly be the talk of the whole earth and all of the heavens. A very very very large wow factor.
Blessings...........John B
P.S. ....Doves, I know that when I write posts I often say that this or that “will happen”......please know that what I mean is..... I believe it will happen based on scripture. I certainly don’t want to appear or pretend to be anything more than an avid reader of God’s Word and the sharing with you that which I have discerned from those scriptures. Hopefully what I have written and have discerned will prompt many to read or re-read scripture for themselves in order to authenticate what I have written as valid or to prove me in error. Many areas of scripture are multi-layered with more than one correct interpretation.....God seems to enjoy giving us “a play on words” or story lines (parables) with multiple semi hidden meanings.
