Are You Rapture Ready?

The Rapture

After study, I understand the excitement surrounding the Rapture, many talking about Pre Tribulation Rapture, especially during the Feast of Trumpets, given current World events. So what signs should we be watching for? I believe many are being told to get ready for coming events, manipulated by Fear. And what does the LORD say? Fear Not!! So let's Prepare our Spiritual thoughts before the Biblical verses stating Everyone will be offered the Mark of the Beast comes to pass and All are tested for their Faith or Compliance. You need to understand!!

First The Bride and Groom

In Christian theology, the "Bride of Christ" refers to the collective body of believers, understood as "the Church." This metaphor signifies the intimate relationship between Christ and His followers, emphasizing Love, Commitment, and Unity. The Bride consists of the Believers of Salvation, John 3:16. Scripture portrays the Church as a Bride awaiting her Groom, anticipating Christ's return and the gift of Eternal Life.

Supporting verses include, Ephesians 5:25-27 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

I've never shared this before, except with a few friends. The following verses are crucial for the Mid-Tribulation Rapture understanding I am suggesting. I believe the first definition of Rapture signifies everyone rising in Biblical Knowledge fast, caught in the excitement of the times, which we are witnessing now, culminating in the Church being Transfigured into glorified bodies, like Christ. During Jesus's/Yeshua's Transfiguration, His appearance became radiant (Matthew 17:2). Our's will too. Some of us already Glow on occasion.

This will happen to The Bride/The Church, saved by Grace. So, Repent and Look Up! Join us in saying Maranatha—Come Quickly, LORD!!

These verses highlight the signs to watch for, some have happened and will happen again. My hypothesis for Mid-Tribulation Rapture: starts with "And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." (Daniel 7:25) Again, after or during the 3rd Temple being built.

Daniel 7:25 refers to the "little horn" oppressing the saints for "a time, times, and half a time" (three and a half years). Historically, it refers to Antiochus IV Epiphanes of the 2nd century BCE. Prophetically, we watch for a future world leader who will rise to power, blaspheme GoD, and persecute GoD's people. We must identify this figure again amid today’s blasphemous speech.

"And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months." (Revelation 13:5)

Daniel 9:27 which discusses a covenant for one week (seven years), indicating a significant event at the three-and-a-half-year mark: "He shall confirm the covenant...and in the MIDST of the Week, he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease." Daniel 7:25 (So the Sacrifices are taking place. They are going on underground.) "He shall speak great words against the Most High...until a time, times, and the dividing of time."

The Woman and the Dragon

Revelation 12:1 "A great sign appeared in Heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous Red Dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads." The Kingdoms are vying for this Power right NOW! This "pattern" is unfolding NOW. Wars, rumors of War. Matthew 24:6, Mark 13:7, and Luke 21:9 War comes before Peace.

Revelation 13:5 states the Beast's authority for "forty-two months," also three and a half years—watch for the signing of a covenant aligning with Daniel 9:27

While former President Trump's "Deal of the Century" facilitated peace agreements, it doesn't fit the biblical seven-year covenant, lacking all necessary parties. Once signed, and the Economic Changes are in Place, the rollout of Mark of the Beast system mentioned in Revelation 13:16-17: "It also forced all people...to receive a Mark." The Vax was not it. However, Gates is already dreaming it in.

Revelation 12:6 "The Woman (Israel & the Church) fled into the wilderness...for one thousand two hundred and threescore days." God gives the Church time for Preparation and Protection. Coming War in Israel. This "1,260 days," marks a time of Protection amidst Tribulation.

Don't forget the 2 witnesses described in Revelation 11:3-4: "And I will grant authority to My (GoD's) two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. Coming War in Israel. This "1,260 days," marks a time of Protection amidst Tribulation (James 5:17) These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth." Again, I believe their Death marks the Mid-Tribulation departure. Revelation 11: 12.

Revelation 13:8 "All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world." Many of these events happen simultaneously.
Revelation 13:5 "Power was given unto him to continue forty and two months."

Matthew 24:29-31 discusses the coming of the Son of Man after the Tribulation, suggesting the Rapture occurs after it begins but before the final events unfold. Read 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.
The Bible’s patterns, particularly the 3.5-year periods, support the Mid-Tribulation view, showing significant events at prophetic timeline midpoints.

1 Kings 17-18 recounts Elijah prophesying a drought lasting three years and six months (James 5:17), leading to a confrontation with Baal’s prophets. God will again demonstrate through His 2 Witnesses in Revelation 11:3-4.

GoD repeats things to His Children!! Obviously, we are All slow to Obedience! Additionally, Hosea 2 speaks of God's promise of restoration, saying, "Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her." This verse parallels the protective journey of Israel and the Church, reminding us of GoD's faithfulness even in times of tribulation.

These patterns of three and a half years appear in prophetic contexts, often signifying trials followed by divine intervention. Let’s keep our Spiritual eyes open amid worldly distractions. Stay fixed on Christ/Yeshua. Fear Not and read Luke 21, and Matthew 24:42 42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come..."

I hope we go Home this Moment, Today! Just listen for the sound of the Shofar/Trumpet! Are you ready? REPENT!! The sooner, the better. 🙏♥️🔥♥️🙏 Maranatha!!
