Rapture and Tribulation Visions
|
In 1974 I found a scripture that seemed to indicate when Messiah shall return:
- Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
I thought the length of a day in that scripture is different than a day here on earth, and felt that the real length is given somewhere in The Bible.
So I started reading the whole Bible, and thought I found the explanation here:
- Psalm 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
The scripture indicates that a day in Hosea 6:2 may be 1000 years, but the last part says that 1000 years can be like a watch in the night.
So I continued to look for the perfect scripture that would give the precise understanding, and after long time I found it:
- 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day.
Then the true understanding of Hosea 6:2 is like this:
- After 2000 years will he revive us: within the next 1000 years he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
I thought that we shall count from when Jesus was crucified, and shed His blood as atonement for our sins.
The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus was crucified in AD 33, while many others believe Jesus was crucified 1-3 years earlier.
At that time I thought Jesus was crucified in AD 31, therefore saying Jesus will return 2031 +/- 2 years: Within the years 2029 - 2033.
Later I have concluded that Jesus was crucified in AD 30, so I now expect that He will return 2030 +/- 3 years: Within 2027 - 2033.
Most Christians believe there will be a rapture of believers before Jesus returns.
But Christians can not agree about when rapture will take place.
These are the main alternatives:
- Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

Most Christians believe there will be a rapture of believers before Jesus returns.
But Christians can not agree about when rapture will take place.
These are the main alternatives:
If I shall guess which year Jesus returns, I choose 2031.
Reason is the parable about the 10 virgins: The bridegroom came later than expected, so all fell asleep.
This means that if the rapture will be Pre-Trib = about 7 years before Jesus returns to establish The Millennial Kingdom on earth,
the rapture may happen during Rosh HaShanah in 2024 = Feast of Tabernacles.

This video explains in detail about a Pre-tribulation rapture:
- WHO WILL BE LEFT BEHIND | EPISODE 974 - 14th June 2019
I commented the video with this text, when I saw it first time 4th December 2019:
Thank you Perry - I have put your video on my Rapture web-page: https://jahoveh.weebly.com/rapture.html
Since 1974 I have believed that Jesus will return approximately 2000 years after he was crucified (about AD 30).
This video explains about rapture, tribulation, God's wrath and Jesus' second coming:
- Differences Between the Rapture and Second Coming - Dr. Thomas Ice - 19th November 2014
<))Revelation 20
* First resurrection - The 144,000 + the multitude: Within the last 7 years before Jesus returns to lock the devil up for 1000 years.
* Thousand years - The Millenial Kingdom, and Judgment day after the devil is let out of prison to test all people.
Then follows Judgment Day: The devil and all his followers will be thrown into the lake of fire - the second death.
Afterwards death itself - the last enemy - will be thrown same place. Death will be no more!
- March 2019: Jesus returns soon
Ron Wyatt found Blood of Messiah on The Mercy Seat of God's Ark - The Ark of The Covenant - 2 PM 6th January 1982:
- THE ARK AND THE BLOOD
* 32:20 Ron Wyatt tells about the laboratory test: The blood has only 24 chromosomes!
* 36:50 Four angels help Ron Wyatt see the tables of stones.
* 37: 24 The coming Mark of the beast law, opposing God's law by demanding Sunday observance.
* 41:30 Keep the 10 commandments and you receive The Seal of God.
* 42:40 But man-made laws will be introduced by the devil, if you keep them instead - you receive The mark of the beast.
Messiah has prepared a place for His servants - those that accept Him as Son of God and their Savior, and work for Him:
>>) John 14:2-4
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
The Bible is telling about the rapture of believers in Jesus Christ - Son of God:
>>) 1 Thessalonians 4

Amir Tsarfati has interesting information about expected events - soon to take place - foretold in prophecies:

- The Mystery of The Rapture - 25th January 2019
- The Millennial Kingdom - Amir Tsarfati - 24th January 2019
John Hagee also has an up to date description of what soon will happen:
- God said: Signs Of The End Part 3 - 27th June 2020
* 25:55 Two battles remain: 1 = Gog-Magog + 2 = Armageddon.
Most Christians agree that the last 7 years before Jesus returns to establish The Millennial Kingdom on earth and rule with peace for 1,000 years is what is called tribulation in Revelation.
Most Christian scholars also agree that the last 7 years start when the two witnesses appear in Jerusalem to minister there for 1260 days,
see especially scriptures found in Revelation 11:2-4:
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not;
for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
<<) Zechariah 4:14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
Then the two witnesses will be killed by a person who in The Bible is called Antichrist - and the son of perdition.
He will rule the earth the last 3.5 years - called The great tribulation, and demand to be worshiped as god.
He will also introduce the so called Mark of the beast.
Nobody can buy or sell without that mark - but if you take it, you will not inherit eternal life.
I also found a video explaining about a fourth view - Pre-Wrath, which means between Mid-trib and Post-trib:
- 7 Reasons to trust the Pre-trib Rapture - 11th January 2016
Pre-Wrath seems to be what I have believed between 1974 and 2019, because of this passage:
>>) Revelation 7: 13-15
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me,
These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple:
and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
Steve Cioccolanti is explaining about several raptures:
- Complete PREVIEW of the RAPTURES! - 22nd February 2013
Until 5th April 2019 I believed that the rapture would be close to Post-trib, because of what is said in
>>)Revelation 7:13-15 (KJV)
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me,
What are these which are arrayed in white robes?
and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me,
These are they which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple:
and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
I thought: Since they came out of great tribulation, they had to be in it first, thus excluding pre-trib rapture.
Below I have listed the whole chapter of Revelation 7 from World English Bible (WEB)
but with small changes in the verses 4 to 8, to make it a bit more easy to read:
1 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth,
so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.
2 I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God.
He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,
3 saying, “Don’t harm the earth, the sea, or the trees,
until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!”
4 I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand,
(12 000) sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
5 Judah, Reube Gad,
6 Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh,
7 Simeon, Levi, Issachar,
8 Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin.
9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could count,
out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages,
standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes,
with palm branches in their hands.
10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
11 All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures;
and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God, 12 saying, “Amen!
Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
13 One of the elders answered, saying to me,
“These who are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?”
14 I told him, “My lord, you know.”
He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering.
They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.
15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple.
He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.
16 They will never be hungry or thirsty any more. The sun won’t beat on them, nor any heat;
17 for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
But 5th April 2019 I was made aware of that Paul did not know about Revelation, when he mentioned the last trump:
because he wrote to the Corinthians at least 30 years before Revelation was written:
>>) 1 Corinthians 15:51-53
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
What Paul knew, was the routine for a Jewish wedding - which was like this:
1. The bridegroom meets the parents of his future bride, signs a contract and pays the agreed price for her.
2. The bridegroom goes back to his own place to prepare for the wedding, which normally takes place about a week later.
3. When the wedding banquet is prepared, he returns to the bride's home to take her to the marriage feast.
People following him are blowing the trump from when the bridegroom leaves his place until he arrives at the bride's home.
Thus the sound will come closer and closer to her place, and she will hear it louder and louder.
4. When the bride hears the trump, her bridesmaids helps her get dressed and ready for the wedding ceremony.
5. When the bridegroom arrives, she comes out - probably wearing a wail before her face.
6. The bridegroom takes the bride to the wedding party, and later to their new place - where they often stay alone for a week.
7. Then they came back to normal life and showed themselves to the community again - the bride without wail.
Here is a description of jewish wedding in a video I have found:
- What were weddings like in Jesus' day?
Many people ask:
- WILL THE CHURCH GO THROUGH THE TRIBULATION? | EPISODE 953 - 2nd Jan. 2019
I advice you to study these 50 videos with strong arguments for a pre-trib rapture:
- Rapture Teachings by Dr. Renald Showers - 50 videos from 2009
But remember, it is not necessary to know when rapture will take place. To be raptured, you need to be READY:
- Parable of the 10 virgins - Youtube
To be READY includes:
1. Believe 100 % in The Word of God: John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
2. Believe The Son of God - Our Savior, Messiah Jesus Christ: I am the way unto Father
>>) John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
3. Tell people that God wants to save all who believe in Messiah from the consuming fire that soon will destroy this world,
as He wanted to save people from the flood through Noah - They needed to come to the Ark to be saved from the flood.
>>) 2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Here are videos telling we are close to the last events before Jesus returns:
- LOVE, HOLINESS & RAPTURE ❤️ TIME IS SHORT... ARE YOU READY? ❤️ Summary of the Lord's Statements 2015 - 2017
- RELEASING THE FOUR ANGELS IN THE EUPHRATES | EPISODE 976 - 2nd July 2019
It seems to be wise to do as those in Berea: Acts 7:10-12 (KJV)
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind,
and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
Here are some other pre-trib rapture videos:
- The Marriage Supper of The Lamb by C. H. Spurgeon (1834 - 1892) - 21st August 1887 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6A1yPswe2w

* Sid Roth LIVE: Holy Fire & Glory! - 23rd May 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9npsD9eCFg
<<) Psalm 68
- Invitation to The Wedding Supper … THE FIRST WILL BE LAST & THE LAST FIRST ❤️ TRUMPET CALL OF GOD - 6th October 2017
In the video above Jesus says about the Bride: she shall fly away! He adds: and she shall be with Me for one week.
In many prophesies a day means a year. Seven years will mean a Pre-trib rapture!
I remember a video I saw many years ago, about a woman's dream of her marriage to Jesus - probably uploaded on YouTube in December 1999.
She was called to hurry, because her wedding would start in half an hour, and she had not put on her wedding dress yet.
When her wedding dress was brought she saw it had spots, and there was no time to clean it. She had to put it on with the ugly spots remaining.
How long may half an hour be? The scripture below probably gives the answer:
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Then we can calculate like this: 1 hour = (1000 years : 24) = 41 years + 8 months. Thus half an hour = 20 years + 10 months!
Add 20 years + 10 months to December 1999, and you get October 2020. Many believe Feast of Trumpets is announcing The Wedding Supper.
I have already told you that I believe Jesus will return at a certain moment within the years 2027 - 2033 (2030 +/- 3 years):
If there will be a Pre-Trib rapture, it will happen abot 7 years before Jesus' second coming. Seven years before 2027 is 2020!
5th April 2019 I realized: Rapture may take place on Feast of Trumpets 2020, if we count from when Jesus was crucified.
However - here is a very good video showing that God's people will go through most of the tribulation:
- 13- “Revelation’s Battle of Armageddon and the Seven Last Plagues” - 1st April 2018
- I GRANT YOU 5 MORE YEARS TO TOUCH OTHERS FOR ME ❤️ Love Letter from Jesus - 13th May 2019
Thus rapture is expected to happen in 2024 or later, and then Israel will also have time to build their third temple.
Confused?

29th December 2019 I found another matter Christians do not agree about.
When does The Millennial reign start? I guess these are explaining the different views:
Pre-Millennialism A-Millennialism Post-Millennialism
The Millennium has not started yet. We are already in the Millennium. Church-age lasts until all resurrections take place.
Here is the debate I found:
- Eschatology Now: The Ice - Viggiano Debate - 17th April 2017
I was surprised to discover this disagreement, since I have not realized it before - I have had Pre-Millennium stand since 1974.
One thing I do not agree with Tommy Ice about, is who will rule as kings and priests with Jesus throgh His Millennial reign.
He said it is "the church", but I believe it will be the 144,000: 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel.
Reason is the parable about the 10 virgins: The bridegroom came later than expected, so all fell asleep.
This means that if the rapture will be Pre-Trib = about 7 years before Jesus returns to establish The Millennial Kingdom on earth,
the rapture may happen during Rosh HaShanah in 2024 = Feast of Tabernacles.
- These events will be My last Call to Repentance - 5th March 2016
This video explains in detail about a Pre-tribulation rapture:

Thank you Perry - I have put your video on my Rapture web-page: https://jahoveh.weebly.com/rapture.html
Since 1974 I have believed that Jesus will return approximately 2000 years after he was crucified (about AD 30).
This video explains about rapture, tribulation, God's wrath and Jesus' second coming:
- Differences Between the Rapture and Second Coming - Dr. Thomas Ice - 19th November 2014
<))Revelation 20
* First resurrection - The 144,000 + the multitude: Within the last 7 years before Jesus returns to lock the devil up for 1000 years.
* Thousand years - The Millenial Kingdom, and Judgment day after the devil is let out of prison to test all people.
Then follows Judgment Day: The devil and all his followers will be thrown into the lake of fire - the second death.
Afterwards death itself - the last enemy - will be thrown same place. Death will be no more!
- March 2019: Jesus returns soon
Ron Wyatt found Blood of Messiah on The Mercy Seat of God's Ark - The Ark of The Covenant - 2 PM 6th January 1982:
- THE ARK AND THE BLOOD
* 32:20 Ron Wyatt tells about the laboratory test: The blood has only 24 chromosomes!
* 36:50 Four angels help Ron Wyatt see the tables of stones.
* 37: 24 The coming Mark of the beast law, opposing God's law by demanding Sunday observance.
* 41:30 Keep the 10 commandments and you receive The Seal of God.
* 42:40 But man-made laws will be introduced by the devil, if you keep them instead - you receive The mark of the beast.
Messiah has prepared a place for His servants - those that accept Him as Son of God and their Savior, and work for Him:
>>) John 14:2-4
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
The Bible is telling about the rapture of believers in Jesus Christ - Son of God:
>>) 1 Thessalonians 4

4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
<<) Zechariah 4:14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
Then the two witnesses will be killed by a person who in The Bible is called Antichrist - and the son of perdition.
He will rule the earth the last 3.5 years - called The great tribulation, and demand to be worshiped as god.
He will also introduce the so called Mark of the beast.
Nobody can buy or sell without that mark - but if you take it, you will not inherit eternal life.
I also found a video explaining about a fourth view - Pre-Wrath, which means between Mid-trib and Post-trib:
- 7 Reasons to trust the Pre-trib Rapture - 11th January 2016
Pre-Wrath seems to be what I have believed between 1974 and 2019, because of this passage:
>>) Revelation 7: 13-15
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me,
These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple:
and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
Steve Cioccolanti is explaining about several raptures:
- Complete PREVIEW of the RAPTURES! - 22nd February 2013
Until 5th April 2019 I believed that the rapture would be close to Post-trib, because of what is said in
>>)Revelation 7:13-15 (KJV)
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me,
What are these which are arrayed in white robes?
and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me,
These are they which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple:
and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
I thought: Since they came out of great tribulation, they had to be in it first, thus excluding pre-trib rapture.
Below I have listed the whole chapter of Revelation 7 from World English Bible (WEB)
but with small changes in the verses 4 to 8, to make it a bit more easy to read:
1 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth,
so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.
2 I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God.
He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,
3 saying, “Don’t harm the earth, the sea, or the trees,
until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!”
4 I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand,
(12 000) sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
5 Judah, Reube Gad,
6 Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh,
7 Simeon, Levi, Issachar,
8 Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin.
9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could count,
out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages,
standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes,

10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
11 All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures;
and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God, 12 saying, “Amen!
Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
13 One of the elders answered, saying to me,
“These who are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?”
14 I told him, “My lord, you know.”
He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering.
They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.
15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple.
He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.
16 They will never be hungry or thirsty any more. The sun won’t beat on them, nor any heat;
17 for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
But 5th April 2019 I was made aware of that Paul did not know about Revelation, when he mentioned the last trump:
because he wrote to the Corinthians at least 30 years before Revelation was written:
>>) 1 Corinthians 15:51-53
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
What Paul knew, was the routine for a Jewish wedding - which was like this:
1. The bridegroom meets the parents of his future bride, signs a contract and pays the agreed price for her.
2. The bridegroom goes back to his own place to prepare for the wedding, which normally takes place about a week later.
3. When the wedding banquet is prepared, he returns to the bride's home to take her to the marriage feast.
People following him are blowing the trump from when the bridegroom leaves his place until he arrives at the bride's home.
Thus the sound will come closer and closer to her place, and she will hear it louder and louder.
4. When the bride hears the trump, her bridesmaids helps her get dressed and ready for the wedding ceremony.
5. When the bridegroom arrives, she comes out - probably wearing a wail before her face.
6. The bridegroom takes the bride to the wedding party, and later to their new place - where they often stay alone for a week.
7. Then they came back to normal life and showed themselves to the community again - the bride without wail.
Here is a description of jewish wedding in a video I have found:
- What were weddings like in Jesus' day?
Many people ask:
- WILL THE CHURCH GO THROUGH THE TRIBULATION? | EPISODE 953 - 2nd Jan. 2019
I advice you to study these 50 videos with strong arguments for a pre-trib rapture:
- Rapture Teachings by Dr. Renald Showers - 50 videos from 2009
But remember, it is not necessary to know when rapture will take place. To be raptured, you need to be READY:
- Parable of the 10 virgins - Youtube
To be READY includes:
1. Believe 100 % in The Word of God: John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
2. Believe The Son of God - Our Savior, Messiah Jesus Christ: I am the way unto Father
>>) John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
3. Tell people that God wants to save all who believe in Messiah from the consuming fire that soon will destroy this world,
as He wanted to save people from the flood through Noah - They needed to come to the Ark to be saved from the flood.
>>) 2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Here are videos telling we are close to the last events before Jesus returns:
- LOVE, HOLINESS & RAPTURE ❤️ TIME IS SHORT... ARE YOU READY? ❤️ Summary of the Lord's Statements 2015 - 2017
- RELEASING THE FOUR ANGELS IN THE EUPHRATES | EPISODE 976 - 2nd July 2019
It seems to be wise to do as those in Berea: Acts 7:10-12 (KJV)
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind,
and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
Here are some other pre-trib rapture videos:

* Sid Roth LIVE: Holy Fire & Glory! - 23rd May 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9npsD9eCFg
<<) Psalm 68
- Invitation to The Wedding Supper … THE FIRST WILL BE LAST & THE LAST FIRST ❤️ TRUMPET CALL OF GOD - 6th October 2017
In the video above Jesus says about the Bride: she shall fly away! He adds: and she shall be with Me for one week.
In many prophesies a day means a year. Seven years will mean a Pre-trib rapture!
I remember a video I saw many years ago, about a woman's dream of her marriage to Jesus - probably uploaded on YouTube in December 1999.
She was called to hurry, because her wedding would start in half an hour, and she had not put on her wedding dress yet.
When her wedding dress was brought she saw it had spots, and there was no time to clean it. She had to put it on with the ugly spots remaining.
How long may half an hour be? The scripture below probably gives the answer:
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Then we can calculate like this: 1 hour = (1000 years : 24) = 41 years + 8 months. Thus half an hour = 20 years + 10 months!
Add 20 years + 10 months to December 1999, and you get October 2020. Many believe Feast of Trumpets is announcing The Wedding Supper.
I have already told you that I believe Jesus will return at a certain moment within the years 2027 - 2033 (2030 +/- 3 years):
If there will be a Pre-Trib rapture, it will happen abot 7 years before Jesus' second coming. Seven years before 2027 is 2020!
5th April 2019 I realized: Rapture may take place on Feast of Trumpets 2020, if we count from when Jesus was crucified.
However - here is a very good video showing that God's people will go through most of the tribulation:
- 13- “Revelation’s Battle of Armageddon and the Seven Last Plagues” - 1st April 2018
- I GRANT YOU 5 MORE YEARS TO TOUCH OTHERS FOR ME ❤️ Love Letter from Jesus - 13th May 2019
Thus rapture is expected to happen in 2024 or later, and then Israel will also have time to build their third temple.

29th December 2019 I found another matter Christians do not agree about.
When does The Millennial reign start? I guess these are explaining the different views:
Pre-Millennialism A-Millennialism Post-Millennialism
The Millennium has not started yet. We are already in the Millennium. Church-age lasts until all resurrections take place.
Here is the debate I found:
- Eschatology Now: The Ice - Viggiano Debate - 17th April 2017
I was surprised to discover this disagreement, since I have not realized it before - I have had Pre-Millennium stand since 1974.
One thing I do not agree with Tommy Ice about, is who will rule as kings and priests with Jesus throgh His Millennial reign.
He said it is "the church", but I believe it will be the 144,000: 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel.
