Rapture/Sudden Nuclear Destruction DELAY in Revelation 10:6--7. How long is the delay? Why the delay?


If EVERY Biblical numerical sign and warning was pointing directly and exactly to October 20--21, 2025, then why did nothing significant and prophetic happen that day? Great question. I have been asking God that same question, the past couple of days. I am going to attempt to try to answer that question, as well as the two questions in today's title to this post.

I believe that the Lord has been referring me to Revelation 10:6--7, so let's read it. "...there should be DELAY no longer but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished..." These two verses are definitely telling us that there will be at least one delay. There simply HAS to be. The Word cannot say, "DELAY no longer", without there being a DELAY. So, a DELAY from what? The only clue from the context is that there will be a DELAY from the mystery of God, which I believe is referring to the Rapture/Sudden Nuclear Destruction and/or the start of the 7-Year Tribulation. 

It cannot be referring to the literal 2nd Coming of Christ, which occurs at the very last day of the Tribulation. That will not be a mystery, as it will happen 2520 days from the first day of the Tribulation. The great MYSTERY ever since Jesus died, rose again, and went to Heaven has been "When is Jesus coming back for us?" The Rapture will be the most significant, most dramatic, most talked-about, and most-anticipated worldwide event of the past 2000 years. The simultaneous Sudden Nuclear Destruction will be the most apocalyptic, most devastating, and most world-changing event in the past 2000 years. They are one, and the same, event. There will not be one without the other. It has been the MYSTERY of the ages. So, my conclusion is that these two verses are telling us that there will be at least one DELAY of the MYSTERY of the ages, which is the Rapture/Sudden Nuclear Destruction.


So many Five Doves watchmen and watchwomen all year have been writing about the numerous signs and warnings that are telling us that 2025 is the Year!!! That means that we can fully expect that we now have less than 2 months before the 1st Rapture and Sudden Nuclear Destruction and the start of the 7-Year Tribulation!!! But now there has been a DELAY. For me, there is no denying that because it is Biblical in Revelation 10:6--7 and because it is simply way better to believe there has been a DELAY than to go against 46 billion to 1 odds.

There may have been two delays in the past few weeks. Many of you Watchers might be saying that the first delay was on Feast of Trumpets, Sept. 23--24th, of this year. I will not argue with you about that. If Feast of Trumpets, Sept. 23--24th, was the start of our delay, then FORTY days later would be Nov. 1--3rd, which are dates that I refer to below. For me, there has probably only been one DELAY, the day that God had every Biblical numerical sign pointing directly and exactly to, the date of October 20--21, 2025. 

There are two questions in my title that I said I would attempt to answer, which are these: How long is the delay? Why the delay? These are two excellent questions that should be on all of our minds. I do not pretend to know how long the delay is. I will attempt a guess after we address the question of "Why the delay?" I do not pretend to know the answer to this question either. Only God know and when we get to Heaven soon, I believe that He will tell us the reason for the delay. But I do have some thoughts on this question.

After over 50 years of studying end times Bible Prophecy, I have become convinced that the Sudden Destruction of 1st Thessalonians 5:3 is nuclear and is simultaneous with the Rapture. This event is so cataclysmic and world-changing that God has no choice but to remove those Christians whom He finds worthy just before the Sudden Nuclear Destruction. The Rapture is our ESCAPE from the Sudden Nuclear Destruction. When Satan's New World Order makes their world-changing and apocalyptic move to start their one-world government, God makes His counter move to remove all Christians who have made Jesus their Lord in the Great Escape of the Rapture. I do not see Scripturally how one event can happen without the other. 

The main reason for the previous paragraph is to strongly suggest to you that the DELAY is in the Sudden Nuclear Destruction, which, therefore, has caused the delay in the Rapture. So, did God, or Gabriel, His trumpet-blowing angel, cause the delay, or did Satan's New World Order cause the delay??? My conclusion is that the Rapture has been delayed because the Sudden Nuclear Destruction has been delayed. As to who delayed the Sudden Nuclear Destruction, we can only speculate, and as to why the delay, we can only speculate.

If it was God, so that a few more people will get saved and make this first Rapture, during this DELAY. we should rejoice, especially knowing that EVERYTHING still points to 2025 as being THE YEAR. I now am going to suggest another factor that COULD have played a part in this DELAY. I am finding it hard to believe that a kill switch caused about half of the world's internet to go down for several hours and happened EXACTLY on God's chosen appointed day of destiny on October 20, 2025!!!

When the Sudden Nuclear Destruction does happen, it is almost certain that ALL of the internet will stop working. Was this a "trial run" by the New World Order elite to see what the results would be??? Or could their planned Sudden Nuclear Destruction on Oct. 20th been interrupted by this major unprecedented internet event? Could the NWO elite have been waiting for a signal from somebody on the internet to begin the Sudden Nuclear Destruction, only to have this unexpected internet shut-down event cause them to change their plans???

I can hear some of you about now saying, "Ron's really going out on a limb, with this speculation." Maybe you are right. But I simply am having difficulty imagining that very early in the morning on God's chosen day of destiny of October 20, 2025, that this worldwide unprecedented internet blackout would occur. No internet blackout of this magnitude had ever happened before. What are the odds that this was a coincidence? I believe that it could very well have been by design. By God and Gabriel??? By Satan's New World Order elite??? I do not know, but I am speculating that this event could very well have played a major part in the DELAY in Revelation 10:6--7.

Now let's address the other question, which is "How long is the delay?" I do not know. Here is what I do know. We have every reason to believe that 2025 is THE YEAR. This means that the delay almost certainly will be short. There are certain dates that seem to have a better chance than others. In this email, I am only going to discuss possible 2025 dates that COULD be the correct dates of the Rapture/Sudden Nuclear Destruction within the next two weeks.  

My first choice would be that this DELAY will be 7 days. Noah had to wait SEVEN days after he and his family were to get into the Ark of Safety. Then the Sudden Worldwide Destruction of the Great Flood started. As I was reading the story of Noah today, I was amazed as to how many times the numbers 7, 40, and 120 that God included as WARNING numbers in the story of Noah. "As in the days of Noah, so also shall it be in the days of the coming of man (Jesus)."

SEVEN days from the DELAY will take us to Oct. 27th, just one or two days from when most of you will be reading this post. What else is pointing us to this as the possible date of the Rapture/SND? There are Watchers who believe that Jesus will not be Returning on Day of Atonement, in whatever year, but rather on Feast of Tabernacles. Over the past several decades, I have seen presentations, pointing to Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, and Day 8 of Tabernacles to be the actual Day of the Return of Christ, ending the 7-Year Tribulation.

The 8 days of Feast of Tabernacles as the possible days to the end of the Tribulation, could possibly move our starting date up by 5 to 13 days, which would mean Oct. 25th through November 3rd could be our Rapture and Sudden Nuclear Destruction Day. October 27--28 would mean the 3rd day of Feast of Tabernacles in 2032, which would be on the 3rd day of the week, on a Tuesday. I am focusing on the possibility of October 27--28th because it would be 7 days from October 20--21st. Also, because Oct. 28th is the 3rd day of the week, on a Tuesday. Also, because it points to the 3rd day of Tabernacles in 2032, which is one of the days of Tabernacles that some say will be the day of the year for the literal 2nd Coming of Christ. The Scriptures tell us to be looking at the 3rd day, as in the end of 2 millenniums from the death of Christ to His 2nd Coming, to the early morning of the 3rd Millennium. For all of these reasons, Oct. 27--28th is my first guess, but I emphasize that it is only a guess.

If Feast of Tabernacles is the correct Feast for the 2nd Coming in 2032, instead of Day of Atonement, that still leaves day 1, day 7, and day 8, as possibilities. These days in 2032 point us towards Sunday, Oct. 25, or November 1--3 of this year as the potential Rapture/SD day. Other dates in November are being given by other Watchers, as the correct time, such as 11/9, the opposite of 9/11, of 2001. Also, 11/11, as 11 is the number of judgment and disorder, which is what happens on the day of the Rapture/Sudden Nuclear Destruction.  
 
Jim Bramlett's favorite projection as the possible Rapture date was always the 17th day of the 2nd Jewish month, as per Genesis 7:11, the day that the Sudden Worldwide Destruction of the Great Flood started. This year that would also be November 9-11th. Another possibility is Satan's day of Halloween, on Oct. 31st. 
For an event of the magnitude of the coming apocalyptic day of Sudden Nuclear Destruction, the Satanic New World Order will almost certainly use Satanic numbers in the date and time of the coming of the cataclysmic nuclear event. That is why I listed Satan's day of Halloween as a possibility. But the most likely numbers that they will choose to use are 11, 9, 3, 33, or 333, as these are the most Satanic numbers. It was the 3rd hour of the day that the unprecedented gigantic internet collapse took place on October 20th. The New World Order elite believe that the more Satanic numbers that they can use, the more likely will be the success of their evil attempts at cataclysmic events. For example, the New World Order CHOSE the THIRD day of the week, TUESDAY, on the NINTH month and the ELEVENTH day in 2001 and the NINTH hour of the day, for their devastating and infamous attack on the United States. Look for the NWO elite to choose a similar day and time for the soon-coming Sudden Nuclear Destruction. Halloween??? 11-9??? 11-11??? A TUESDAY again???
 
The only day in December that I remember as being a possible option is on Hannukah Eve, which this year is on December 14th. Grant Jeffrey always pointed to Hannukah Eve as being the day we should expect the Battle of Gog and Magog of Ezekiel 38--39, which some believe will also be the day of the Rapture.

I realize that there has been quite a bit of speculation in this post. Briefly, the answers to my questions in the title of this post are "I don't know", and "I don't know". But one thing I am convinced of is that as of Oct. 20th, we have experienced the DELAY in Revelation 10:6--7. You cannot convince me otherwise.

JESUS IS COMING VERY, VERY SOON!!!!!!!

Maranatha!
