August 2023 – Life In The Last Days

Let me tell you….

This is one question that has been on the minds of Christians ever since Christ left the Earth in the clouds.

Many people and organizations have put dates on the expected “end of the world” or whatever they may have called it. Many times, wars or severe worldwide diseases have brought on thoughts of “the end”. And, it is pretty easy to understand why. The Bible says that the church will be saved from the day of wrath. Well, what wrath is it talking about?

The wrath is “the time of Jacob’s troubles,” the end of “the day of the gentiles,” the tribulation, the great tribulation, and the cleansing of the world. The wrath is the wrath of God, poured out onto the inhabitants of the Earth. The Bible says Christians will be removed from the Earth and will not experience such wrath in an event referred to as “the rapture.”

As we, historically as well as currently and even futuristically, experience the evil of man and destruction due to various events, wonder…. “is this the day?” There are several songs that are titled or similarly titled to “This Could Be The Day.” I like Alicia Williamson’s version. The more evil we see, the more we think, THIS COULD BE THE DAY! We all wish that. Who wants to endure more of man’s wrath or man’s evil or Satan’s works on Earth?

Well, let me tell you, although everyone else has been wrong so far when predicting the day of the rapture, I will tell you exactly when it will be… Well, at least as close as anyone else has ever been or closer…..

Wait! Read on….

Let me start from the larger timeframe and whittle it down for you. The rapture will happen after the year 2022. The season will be after a harvest season of some type, as Christ will remove the wheat from the chaff. The rapture will happen on or before August 29, 2023. Now that we got it whittled down that much, one more detail…. The rapture will happen after 12:00AM.

There. Now you know when it will happen. I even got it down to a 24-hour period of time.

Seriously, we know the rapture will happen AFTER the last person to accept Jesus as their savior does so. I have heard that for quite some time. A music group called NewSong has a song titled, “This Could Be the Day” and part of the lyrics is as follows:

“There’s a person somewhere

Who will be the last one saved

Then the body of our Lord

Will be completely made

Oh, every time a sinner trust Him

We’re closer than before

To leave Him here and be in there

With Him forevermore”

With that in mind, I can say “DUH!” I can also say, it will happen after the last Christian swallows water. Obviously, there will be a last something before the rapture. People have been saying they want to have that last soul accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior today! Well, here’s a question for you to ponder…. What if God decided to send Jesus to get His bride the second before YOU accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior? We should not push for the last person to accept Christ, but to see how many people we can help get to know Jesus before He comes to get us. I recently have had that thought. What if? Aren’t you glad Jesus was not seen returning in the clouds before you became a believer?

So, as light-hearted as this post is meant to be, I hope it also leaves you ever so much more grateful that God saw you and held back on telling Jesus to retrieve His bride. I don’t know what He saw in me that He ever even thought of me. Yet, I know He loves me so much… I tell my kids I love them more than they will ever understand. And I mean it. Not that I think they will not have children and love them severely, but, I can’t imagine loving my children any more than I do. And yet, how much more does God love me? And who do I think I am that I should push for the last person to accept Christ so I can avoid the pain of death and the evil that is to come to me during the rest of my living seconds on this planet? I mean, seriously…. Every time I hear the statement that we need to hurry and tell others about Jesus so the last person can accept Him so the rapture can happen, I think, “Wait…. Can we get one more soul?”

There was a war movie I liked, called “Hacksaw Ridge.” It is based on a true story of a conscientious objector who served in World War II as a medic. Towards the end of the film, he is seen injured, struggling to move himself, yet still going out onto the battlefield to find anyone breathing that he can help. He carries, drags, and wills injured men to the edge of a high ridge where he ties ropes around the damaged bodies, one at a time, and lowers them to others who remove the ropes and carry the men to get medical attention. His prayer to God was, “Please, let me get just one more.” Just thinking of the end of the film makes my eyes leak….

How much more value does the everlasting life of a person have than the physical life? I have to ask myself that question and I should ask myself that daily, probably several times each day. I know me. If you have read enough of these posts, you will likely remember how I refer to myself as a chicken Christian. I have signs on my truck that I made that say

(Are you ready for the rapture? You need to be ready!” and “Your life matters. Jesus died for YOU!” I have these signs to have others start the communication with me. One thing that happens when I drive, sometimes I am reminded I have those signs on my truck so I had better let Christ show through me rather than the old man in my, especially when someone cuts me off.

If you are not a Christian, perhaps someone pointed you to this site or posting and you have been touched by The Holy Spirit and realize you really want to be part of the rapture, I give this as an option for you to pray to God. Pray this prayer and mean it. “Father in Heaven, God of all things, I come to You, knowing I need You to help me through this life and forever in the next life. Please forgive me of my sins. I know you will, so long as I ask. Jesus, please enter my heart and lead me in the ways You want me to go. I thank You, Father, for all You have done for me. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”

My prayer today, that I will share with you…. “Father, thank You so much for constantly forgiving me and bringing me closer to You. I ask that You use this web site, these postings, and Your words to bring You glory. Please help me to always remember Your love is beyond anything I can understand, and You wish for no man to perish, but for all to come to repentance. Please use me as a tool to prepare the soil, plant the seed, nourish the ground, and help in any way it can to allow one more soul to accept Your free gift of salvation. To You be all glory! In the name of Your Son, The Creator Christ, Jesus, Amen.

This topic can be considered a bit wild, wacky, creepy, and crazy. And, it is vast….

There is a lot of historic evidence, Biblical references, and Bible prophecy that explain what happened, when it started, what the purpose was and is, and what to expect.

I will tell you this first…. If I have not said this before, hear me now…. I will not lie to you on purpose. I will do my best to be as historically and prophetically as accurate as possible. That does not mean I am always right or I will never make a mistake. A great pastor friend of mine once told me, “If you believe everything I say, YOU have a problem, not me.” I know he would have never led me astray or lied to me, but he was saying that he is human. The Bible says, “All men are liars” Psalm 116:11. So, that being said, let me see what I can dig up and what I can use to support what I say. You are responsible for your own beliefs and your own soul. Check out what I say and what I tell you other men say.

This whole thing started in Genesis 3:14-15. We may not see it when we first start reading Genesis, but, keep this in mind…. “And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Make note, not of the type of creature or the cursing, other than the prophetic portion…. Verse 15 – “I (God) will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between THY SEED and HER SEED….” Keep this in mind… Her seed – the seed of the woman…. Not the seed of the man….

And, did I ever tell you how much I love reading Genesis? There is so much history in there… filled with one event after another… Don’t have to turn too many pages… Genesis 6:1-7 “[1] And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, [2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. [3] And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. [4] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. [5] And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. [6] And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. [7] And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.”

There are some differences of opinion for verse 2, “the sons of God.” I share the idea of many Bible teachers that these are the fallen angels – Satan’s cohorts – demons. The daughters of men are believed to be just that, female offspring of humans. So, you can pretty easily get the picture – demons joined humans and they bare children. Those children, at least some of which, were giants. This may sound a bit out there, but, I have read where fossils were found, having the likeness of humans, that were over 20 feet tall. The offspring of the demon/human relationships were not fully human. Angels (and demons, which are fallen angels) were not the same as humans. The offspring were called Nephilim. (reference https://www.christianity.com/wiki/angels-and-demons/who-were-the-nephilim-in-the-bible.html)

There is a lot of speculation that can come from the ideas of the Nephilim and the “mighty men of renown.” Could they have been the Greek gods? There have been fairly recent stories of giants found in mountain caves who ate humans. Could that have anything to do with the story of Jack and The Beanstalk? “…be he alive or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to make my bread.” Just as Goliath was known by many people, giant, strong beings would also be spoken of among many and well known. It is believed the Nephilim were involved in the building of the pyramids, Stonehenge, and many other such structures around the world. There were many “strange, tall, humanoid” skeletons found in various areas, some in areas where cannibalism may still be going on and thought of as natural. There is a lot of information regarding giant skeletons and Nephilim. With the resources we have today, you can do a lot of your own research. I could spend way too much time on the subject of Nephilim.

It was said that Noah was perfect in his generations. We believe this means he did not have any demonic blood in his ancestry. One has to wonder, how many others may have been alive at that time that did not have demonic blood lines? On a side note…. Look at the event of Joshua and Jericho…. If you are unfamiliar with it, read Joshua chapter 6. Here is a link https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Joshua-Chapter-6/ Without making some sort of thought against or for God, chapter 6, verse 21 says, “And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.” So, every man, woman, child, and animal was killed.

So let’s address this a little, only a little…. Some people think, “If God is a loving God, why would He kill children?” Well, if you read through Joshua, and a few other books of the Old Testament, you will see where God told His people, Israel, to completely and utterly destroy and burn everyone and everything in some cities. Why? Well, first of all, it is not my position where I should ask God why He did and does anything, except for saving me. But, let’s look at some of these cities. They were known to have giants. Some were almost all giants. These giants were Nephilim – part human and part demon. Satan had a plan… he wanted to have the whole world filled with Nephilim and no 100% humans around. This was his plan that God spoke of regarding the seed in Genesis. Satan is not stupid. He figured if he could eliminate humanity and have demonic blood in all living beings, God could not send Jesus to be born of the seed of the woman, to crush Satan in the end. God knows that if one seed of the demonic group survived, that seed could easily and quickly spread. So, in God’s omniscience, He showed His love to us by keeping a way for Jesus to be born to die for us.

Keep this in mind… In the days before the flood, or in the days of Noah, there was evil and violence, sexual immorality, drunkenness, and all kinds of lawlessness. God sent the flood to clean off the Earth, and kept Noah and his family to have children to replenish the Earth. Many of us believe Satan and his demons continued to mix their seed with humans. Today, we see and hear a lot about “interbreeding” of man with animals and messing with the human genetics in many ways to make man different than God made man. The COVID pandemic was part of this plan. The “vaccines” have devices in them to modify the genetics of people. This may not be a fact that many people agree with, but there is a lot of scientific evidence supporting my statements.

Matthew 24:27 “But as the days of Noe (Noah) were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Matthew 24:22, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” These verses speak of the second coming of Christ – not the Rapture, but when Jesus steps on Earth again. “Flesh” refers to mankind – humans. And “as the days of Noah were…” Think about how bad it must have been for God to “repent” of making man….. Today, August of 2023, we see lawlessness increasing. Our government is filled with all kinds of evil – interfering with elections – calling parents involved with school boards terrorists – removing any type of security at our border – and so much more. Drug use is increasing, our government is doing all they can to remove hope from the lives of people – started in school by removing teaching of Christian beliefs.

And now… UFO’s are being seen more frequently and the governments, all around the world, are opening up and admitting that they exist, they may have crashed vehicles, and may even have “aliens.”

Part 2 will tie the Nephilim of Genesis 6 together with the UFO’s….

If you are not a Christian, one who puts their eternity into the hands of The Creator, by admitting you have sinned and need a savior and ask The One and only Christ, I beg of you to become my brother or sister today. Do not waste another second in doubt…. Pray this prayer…. Father in Heaven, I come to you broken, as a sinner. I ask that you will take me under Your wings by applying the blood of Your son to cover my sins. Jesus, please accept me and help me to learn more of You. Please enter my heart and purify me. I boldly ask this of You, Father, knowing Your promise. I ask this in the name of Jesus, The Christ. Amen.
