I am writing concerning the "end time" fever that is now gripping the Christian church since the new millennium has dawned, and to inform Christians of insights I have been privileged to have as a cycle analyst: These insights relate to "when" the rapture (or the fetching away) of the Bride of Christ is likely to occur. The "rapture" event will usher in the take-over of the world by antichrist described in Daniel chapter seven, and the subsequent holocaust. Also, I am writing in response to the concerns I have that many in the body of Christ will get discouraged since the "rapture" did not occur just as the new millennium dawned and that they will loose confidence in the immanence of Christ's return. Since the expectation of Christ's return "purifies us" as the Holy Scriptures say, we should not loose our faith, and by loosing our faith fall away into the flesh and our "natural" understanding which leads to death.
I can just hear some Christians saying, "The preachers have been wrong, the 'rapture' isn't as immanent as they have led us to believe, and who knows 'when' it will actually occur?" To reiterate, with this attitude, Christians will likely become lax in their Spiritual readiness, and in their holy anticipation of the "rapture" with the result that many Christians will miss the rapture and will be forced to enter the Kingdom of God via martyrdom. Some of these will completely cave in, take the mark of the beast so that they may be able to buy and sell, thus embracing the New World Order system to be set up by antichrist, and thereby loose their salvation all together. It is much better that they know the approximate time of the rapture so that they will not be deceived, misled, and discouraged and will, therefore, steadfastly walk the Holiness Walk and be raptured.
Getting right to the point of when "rapture" will likely occur, "jubilee" is under the number SEVEN as well as the number FIFTY which is normally associated with the "jubilee" or "deliverance" concept.
"Seven" is the number of "completion," "arrival," "fulfillment," and etc., and the current year week, which is under the number SEVEN, ends on August 23, 2006. Starting August 23, 1999 we entered the first year of the final year week in which the rapture will likely occur, as follows:
|
Week Frequency |
Year Frequency |
Commences |
|
seven |
one |
August 23, 1999 |
|
seven |
two |
August 23, 2000 |
|
seven |
three |
August 23, 2001 |
|
seven |
four |
August 23, 2002 |
|
seven |
five |
August 23, 2003 |
|
seven |
six |
August 23, 2004 |
|
seven |
seven |
August 23, 2005 |
Therefore, the time of the rapture will likely be when the "year-week" frequency is "seven" and the "year" frequency is "seven" and toward the end of that year week, i. e., in the summer of 2006. With the "double-seven" final year of the year week the greatest Jubilee period in history (one may anticipate) will be peaking out, and I don't anticipate that this period will be cut short, i. e., I wouldn't expect the rapture to occur before the summer of 2006.
In the meantime, the forces of antichrist persecution of Christians and the structure for the New World Order mechanism of antichrist rule are shaping up rapidly foreshadowing the full-scale persecution and martyrdom of Christians referred to in Daniel chapter seven that will occur for three and one half years after the rapture of the Bride of Christ. After this persecution and martyrdom of the saints then the holocaust should start around February or March of the year 2010.
We can clearly see the anti-Christian sentiment building up around us in the United States of America via the intellectual-elitist snobs: In their zeal to replace God with themselves, elitists are now openly striking out against their chief rival, God, by brazenly depicting Christians as insane. This has become an ongoing elitist trick: On 4-26-97 for example, this was illustrated on CNN's Capital Gang when Margaret Carlson (while defending Clinton's presumption of innocence vis a vis white house cover-ups) ridiculed Richard Nixon for asking Henry Kissinger to pray with him at the height of the Watergate crisis. Carlson said "At least Clinton hasn't lost his mind!" This is just a small sample of how vicious and out of touch with reality elitist thinking is. You can imagine the spiritual poverty and depravity our nation would succumb to if we as a people decide not to subscribe to our national slogan "In God We Trust" and subsequently when the most virulent anti-Christian commentators of the media like Margaret Carlson, Al Hunt and Eleanor Clift (all of whom are inevitably of the "In Big Brother Elitist We Trust" persuasion) have convinced a majority in our nation that it is a joke to pray and that the Christians are all insane.
As Al Hunt used to say repeatedly (until he was probably reigned in by his bosses at the Wall Street Journal), "The 'full-moon crowd' (Hunt's endearing way of characterizing the sanest people in our society as lunatics) are not to be taken seriously," or as Eleanor Clift spits venom like a serpent whenever the subject of Christian influence in society is raised, and as Margaret Carlson sneers at prayer, we as a people are degraded and cheapened for having such people in positions of power and influence in our society.
Imagine, if you will, the lightening speed of our national disintegration if the Carlsons, the Hunts and the Clifts among us succeeded in kicking God off his throne, off his place of honor over this nation that he has always had, and putting Bill (Big Brother) Clinton's vain, self-deified rump in his place.
Bill Clinton himself attempted to project himself as a foreshadowing of the antichrist strategy to steal God's vineyard away from its rightful owner, namely God. The antichrist, vineyard-thief mentality of Bill Clinton manifested itself right away with the Bill Clinton "new covenant" declaration at his first inauguration. I've often wondered why President Clinton didn't go all the way with this "I am Jesus Christ, Savior of the World" approach during his first inauguration and have his handlers strap him to a cross, carry him and his "new covenant" out to the podium, slash his flesh with a knife, sprinkle his blood over the "new covenant" and have Bill declare with tears of ectoplasmic joy streaming down his face, that "I, your president, am offering you 'salvation' through my 'new covenant' sprinkled with my own precious blood! God bless you all! Amen and Amen!"
It doesn't take a genius to see that we should all REPENT FOR THE END IS NEAR when the great United States of America can fall so low as to put the Margaret Carlson, Al Hunt, Eleanor Clift candidate into the highest office of the land, not once, but twice!
The terms "radical" and "extremist" have become elitist code words among liberal politicians and other anti-Christian elitists to describe (1) Christian faith and belief in general, especially in its morality aspects, and (2) those who are born with an innate desire to search out and then to experience "truth" for its own sake, and having experienced and confirmed some part of "truth" to then be faithful to it regardless of the political or social consequences, and (3) those who have the temerity to defy elitist religious doctrine which proclaims that God-displacing, vineyard-stealing, "self-deification" madness is the ultimate good, which proclamation, if believed, inevitably results in the moral decline and the self-destruction of any people foolish enough to have followed egomaniacal cult leaders and false "saviors" teaching garbage rather than following the "truth" which cries out to them through all of their experiences. For between the "truth" of one's experiences in the "real" world, and the "vanity opinions" of self-deified mad men and vineyard thieves preaching lies, a great gulf is eternally fixed, and never shall the twain meet because "truth" and "falsehood," like heaven and hell, can, by definition, have no fellowship with each other.
The beloved elitist, Andy Rooney of "60 Minutes" fame, demonstrated the rampant media bias against Christianity with his 10-27-97 Sunday evening negative commentary on prayer and worship in America in general, and the Promise Keeper's perceived imperfections in particular.
Andy's diatribe reminds one of Mark Twain's book, Letters from Earth in which Satan (having been cast down to earth from heaven) uproariously ridiculed man for being so stupid as to believe that God actually had time to pay attention to the inane pleadings and prayers of these lowly little man creatures. Andy Rooney (along with the rest of the media establishment) is as abysmally ignorant of what is going on in the real world as Mark Twain was. Both Rooney and Twain are humorists and intellectual giants and therefore are too clever and intelligent to believe, let alone "put to the test," what God has said in his holy word via the prophets, the apostles and the Lord Jesus of Nazareth. We simpler souls put God's word to the test, and what do you know! God is not a man that he should lie! Miracles and signs and wonders and healings and deliverances of all sorts (not to mention the unerring fulfillment of prophesy) confirm on an ongoing basis what God has said to us lowly men via his word which in summary is the "good news" of God's mercy and grace.
However, Andy Rooney was correct about one thing. God does often ignore prayers. Indeed, he has nothing but contempt for the prayers of elitist monstrosities who are certain they are smarter than God is, as follows:
Proverbs 1:24-33:
"Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and it was not regarded, but rather you have set at naught all my counsel and would not listen to my reproof, therefore, I will laugh at your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh as a storm and your calamity cometh as a whirlwind. When distress and anguish overtake you, then will you call upon me, but I will not answer. You will seek me diligently, but you will not find me, for you hated knowledge and did not choose 'the fear of the Lord.' Because you would have nothing to do with my counsel and you despised my reproof, therefore, shall you eat the fruit of your own way and be filled with the results of your own devices. For the turning away of the simple (from God) shall slay you, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy you. But whosoever hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil."
