Last year, a few days before Rosh Hashanah, we gave three reasons why we didn’t believe the Rapture would happen at the blowing of the last trump.(1) This is what we said in September 2023:
“…there are three major reasons to think Rapture won’t happen this year (2023):
That was an interesting list last year. But this year, all three of those reasons have basically evaporated.
1) Solomon’s Treasures Not Found
…'Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, … to capture great spoil?’”’ Ezek. 38:13
We know Russia, Iran, and other nations WILL ATTACK ISRAEL to capture a vast treasure of gold and silver. There IS a humongous $150 trillion hoard of Solomon's gold and silver hidden somewhere in Israel, but it's yet to be found.(2)
We believe the huge treasure, once found, will be the “hook” God uses to lure Russia, Iran, et al., to invade Israel.
But last week we explained why we no longer believe Solomon’s treasures had to be found pre-Rapture. Under careful scriptural scrutiny it appears the Rosh/Russia, Iran/Persia, et al., invasion happens during the 6th Seal of Revelation 6—which comes about well into the Tribulation.
So finding the treasure is now unnecessary to take place prior to our mind-bending skyward exit.
2) Israel as a “Heavy Stone” to the World
It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it. Zech 12:3
Up until last year Israel had been a pain for a few countries in the Middle East, but nothing more. Then, just a couple of weeks after Rosh Hashanah last year, Israel was terrorized by Hamas murdering 1400 mostly unarmed men, women and children.
Justifiably,(3) Israel has spent the last 12 months “taking no prisoners” as she has been wiping out Hamas terrorists in Gaza and now Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria. Those who came against God’s stone, Israel, are paying a heavy price.
The targeted killing of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders with exploding pagers and massive bombs would be two examples of being “severely injured.”
This week Iran fired some 200 missiles at Israeli neighborhoods. Although most missiles were shot down by Israeli defenses, two or three did get through.
How would you feel if Canada fired a deadly missile at your own neighborhood? Or at hundreds of American neighborhoods all at the same time? And cheered wildly over killing 1400 in one day?
Arabs only stop their Satanic tactics when they feel pain so Israel has no choice but to respond militarily. She has become a burdensome stone to the world.
Israel’s actions have pushed the world into taking sides for or against Israel (most are against). Ultimately the entire world will be against Israel.
3) The 7-Day Warning
For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights. Gen. 7:4
The third reason we gave last year to say Rapture was not likely in 2023 had to do with an interesting verse about God warning Noah when he only had seven more days until the flood began.
Because Jesus said that the days leading up to the Rapture would be “just like” the days of Noah (Matt 24:37-42/Luke 17:26-30). Jesus point-blank says before the Rapture the world will be carrying on as usual and those left behind will be caught off-guard.
Jesus said the world as a whole will have food and drink, have normal building and social events and activities going on before the Rapture.
So we theorized that just like God gave Noah a seven-day warning before the flood would begin, that He might also give the Church a seven-day warning before the Rapture happened.
But we also noted that to assume God might warn the Church may be a stretch. We simply don’t know if “just like”(Matt 24) or "just the same" (Luke 17) also includes God’s warning to Noah.
So of the three reasons we gave that the Rapture would NOT happen last year, two are no longer viable and the third one is not in stone.
Therefore, with the pace the world is fulfilling Biblical prophecies, this year could easily be the time of our exhilarating and loud exit. We, of course, don’t know for sure. Could be years away.
But measuring 2000 years from Jesus’ crucifixion in 33 AD for the total time of the Church Age, the case could be made that the Rapture might likely be between now and 2033.
So if we’re still in our shoes after Rosh Hashanah this year, it will be one wild year ahead. Elon Musk recently said:
“…if Trump is not elected, this will be the last election. Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.”
Sadly he’s right. But rest assured that even if Harris is sworn in, God will still be in control. And as best we can tell, we should have food, water, social events and an economy available right up to our exciting big exit.
CQLJ!

I feel sorry for anyone trying to understand what's going on in the world today without having the Bible as a guide!
We are living at a time when 2000-year-old prophecies are falling into place. Believers living today have a GREAT chance of avoiding physical death and instead being instantly transported to heaven. Sort of like "Beam me up, Scotty" in the Star Trek series.
But as the world turns closer to that amazing moment, it may very well get uncomfortable for Believers. If we try to live first for the Lord we're promised persecution (2Tim. 3:12) but not God's wrath (1Thess. 5:9).
Thankfully we know Who's really in control, and we know all things work together for us Believers in the long run.
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Rom. 8:28
So we can trust the Bible over all else. We don't seek man's answers via drugs. We try to do nothing to compromise our God-designed immune system.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

And for the Lord to use us to illuminate truth to those who are deceived and/or lost.
Use us, Lord!

Embalmers have always encountered blood clots as a part of the embalming process. Midway through 2021, however, a new normal seemed to emerge. That’s when embalmers started routinely finding long, fibrous, rubbery, white colored tissue clots in many of their subjects.
These new clots were never seen before 2021. And they are only found in the va((inated.

More than 45,000 International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) members from over three dozen facilities across 14 Gulf and East Coast ports went on strike early Tuesday, marking the largest labor action at US ports in nearly 50 years. The labor action, driven by disputes over automation and wages in a new multi-year labor contract, threatens to disrupt supply chains nationwide. If the strike persists for more than a week, retailers could face shortages of certain goods (read: here), potentially sparking another wave of inflation.

Becker’s Hospital Review reported:
Dana Filmore, a grandmother from Columbus, Ohio, is among thousands of plaintiffs filing a federal lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, alleging Ozempic and Mounjaro caused gastroparesis, USA Today reported Sept. 27.
Gastroparesis, a condition characterized by stomach paralysis that severely impacts digestion, caused Filmore, who turned to the medication to control her blood sugar to have persistent nausea and bowel issues.
The lawsuit alleges that the drug manufacturers failed to adequately warn patients about the risks associated with the medications and central to the lawsuit were claims of gastroparesis, according to the USA Today report.
Regardless of the lawsuit’s outcome, Fillmore told the news outlet that she wants others to reconsider taking the drug she believes upended her life.
The federal lawsuit is expected to go to trial in 2025.

"Our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer [disinformation] out of existence. What we need is to win...the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change," Kerry said.
Kerry noted, "It's very hard to govern today."
The Biden-Harris administration is asking a court to dismiss a lawsuit against former UN employees who participated in the October 7th massacre in Israel, arguing they should be immune from prosecution.
The lawsuit was filed in a New York court in June on behalf of 101 victims of the mass slaughter. It accuses the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) of genocide and crimes against humanity for helping Hamas perpetrate the attack.
According to the complaint, UNRWA gave Hamas access to its sites for weapons storage and command centers. The UN agency also helped funnel US dollars to Hamas via its employees, many of whom are Hamas members.

Law requires that foreign companies may not own more than 25% of U.S. radio stations. In unprecedented move, FCC is colluding with George Soros to bypass the law and take control of 220 conservative radio networks and stations.
The networks include Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and lots of religious programming. Hmmm.... I'm guessing he didn't turn over a new leaf, but rather, has a more sinister plan for programming.
As the West descends into the abyss of totalitarianism, Western governments are increasingly silencing, persecuting and imprisoning those heroes of truth and liberty who speak out against the degradation of our liberties and the proliferation of false narratives designed by a globalist oligarchy intent on destroying Western civilization.
Among the valiant paladins of the resistance who have suffered incarceration in the USA are former White House chief strategist and media executive Steven K. Bannon; former law school professor and dean John Eastman; and former aide to President Trump Peter Navarro.
Those grandmothers who were persecuted for traveling to hear Trump in Washington D.C. on January 6 are no different. And it's not just here in the USA...the police state is taking control in other countries around the world.
Back in 2022 we posted links to Dr. Reiner Fuellmich in Germany who was exposing the truth behind the va((ines. Today he's paying a big price for standing up for truth.

This topic is a bit personal to Susie and me. About 20 years ago our church changed pastors and after a few months I realized the new pastor was teaching some unbiblical doctrines.
After meeting with the pastor several times and getting nowhere, I met with each of the seven elders one-on-one, giving them my scriptural reasons the pastor's teaching was not biblical. Their answer was to kick me out of the church.
Obviously we were stunned. Over the next six months, as the reasons for my concerns were known, the church went from 1200 a week attendance to about 400 and the elders fired the pastor—who promptly began a new church and took half of the remaining members with him.
What happened to our solid church? Satan. The last thing he wants is a solid Bible-armoring church teaching the deep life-changing truths of the Bible. So if you're attending a good church, pray for it as much as you pray for your kids!
The article is excellently penned by Jan Markell about wolves inside the church.

Colorado was taken over by liberals through a political coup a good number of years ago. Leftists with hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank strategically donated to key state legislative races to defeat conservatives, and the result now is a legislature dominated by Democrats and other extremists.
So it's no surprise that the Globalists/Satanists are taking advantage of this state with a governor I heard is homosexual.
Covid was an artificially constructed flu variant, mainly affecting the very old, very sick, and very overweight. The vaccine is useless in preventing Covid but has caused significant increases in morbidity and mortality among healthy recipients. Was it a trial run to cleanse the world of useless eaters? I don’t know. But, based on what people like Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Pol Pot—among many others—have done in recent years, I don’t think it’s out of the question.

Well, that headline should read:
From CBS:
Ten people have died in Rwanda from the highly contagious Marburg virus, and 29 cases have been confirmed, the country's health ministry reported Tuesday, just days after the country declared an outbreak of the deadly hemorrhagic fever that has no authorized vaccine or treatment.
"Marburg is a rare disease," health minister Sabin Nsanzimana said Sunday. "We are intensifying contact tracing and testing to help stop the spread."
He said the source of the disease has not been determined yet.
The Marburg virus originates in fruit bats. It can spread between people through close contact with the bodily fluids of infected individuals or with surfaces, such as contaminated bed sheets, clothing, needles or medical equipment.
Without treatment, Marburg can be fatal in up to 88% of people who fall ill with the disease. There are currently no approved vaccines or treatments specifically for this virus.
The World Health Organization notes that Marburg virus does not spread through the air.
The rare virus was first identified in 1967 after it caused simultaneous outbreaks of disease in laboratories in Marburg, Germany, and Belgrade, Serbia. Seven people died who were exposed to the virus while conducting research on monkeys.
(There is something fishy about this virus....)
